They're Back!

Just like the demons and poltergeists that returned in the horror movie “Poltergeist 2,” a horrifying collection of demons are now back—to redo the horrors of the 2016 and 2020 elections. Now I realize I just used a variation of the word horror three times in one sentence. I did it deliberately. So, get ready. You are going to need to revisit some villains from a decade ago.

Like other sequels, some of the same characters return, and then are joined by a new group of sinister miscreants. Such is the case with the announcement of Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General whose Fast & Furious operation involved weapons trafficking and drug cartels, is heading up a new project. The fact that the other one turned into a major scandal in Obama’s presidency didn’t deter anyone from hiring him as the Chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. And we all know what a lot of legal battles are going on regarding redistricting.

Well, now he has yet another assignment: The Election Integrity Group, a task force put together by Chuck Shumer. What could possibly go wrong here, I wonder?

To me, he’s already screwed up one “sting” operation. And I suspect he’s setting up another one, this time political. Joining him is the “squeaky dirty” attorney Marc Elias. Just that name alone, in the same sentence as “election integrity,” should make your hair stand on end.

Just to jog our memories, Elias was from the law firm Perkins Coie that spearheaded the most deadly and damaging political dirty trick every played—the Russia Collusion Hoax. I suspected the hoax long ago when I heard that the head of Fusion GPS—a research firm no one had ever heard of at the time-–had taken the Fifth in a Congressional Hearing. But it was years after journalist John Solomon’s investigations that we now know what happened in the 2016 campaign, in the first two and one half years of Trump’s first presidency, and we are still discovering all the players involved.

Basically, we know now factually that the Clinton Campaign through the DNC authorized and paid Elias’s firm to create something to knock Trump out of contention. That firm employed the Washington, DC based firm Fusion GPS, and they hired former MI-6 operative Christopher Steele to manufacture a completely bogus but salacious document of accusation and innuendo.

You remember his handiwork. “The Steele Dossier,” otherwise known as the “Golden Showers” Dossier. And I challenge you to try to guess how many people’s lives were completely destroyed by that fallacious piece of garbage.

Now, the fact that we had to endure and live through that nightmare—which was in my opinion an attempted coup—the same crew who masterminded and participated in that is unabashedly coming to bat a second time. And of course it is all under the cover of “to protect our election integrity.” Now that’s arrogance and brazenness at its worst.

And you, and your votes, are about to become the targets. Only this time, I pray to God you are all awake. It will be sold as a good idea, a necessary one. Americans will buy into it. But, the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” of this hoax will be just that—a wolf. It is not designed to preserve election integrity, but rather to interfere with it, if not just plain destroy it.

I don’t know what team of lawyers and “researchers” Holder and Elias will put together this time. Steele was not only former British Intelligence, but he had ties to our FBI and our intelligence agencies. I doubt they would be stupid enough to hire Fusion GPS again—if they even still exist. I doubt they would hire Christopher Steele again.

But, who knows? It worked once, didn’t it? We were gullible once, weren’t we? Who knows how many retired or fired swamp creatures from our Washington legal and intelligence communities may be looking for work.

My recommendation: keep tabs on who gets hired on to this election integrity project. Look them up. See who they are tied to. We can’t live through another “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”

Just as a side note, and proof that these people don’t go away—even when completely exposed, debunked, and discredited—Christopher Steele was the one who spread on London Broadcasting Company the gossipy tip that it was “quite likely” Jeffrey Epstein had compromising information on Donald Trump. And we all know how that witch hunt has obsessed people on both sides, don’t we?

Final word: just remember, “they’re back!!!”
