The Coup, The Attack, And The Power-Grab
February 8, 2017

Three major publications are out this week that suggest we should be ready for a running coup, a planned terror attack and the subsequent power grab by Bannon and Trump. These publications are the Canberra Times out of Australia, CNN online, and The New Yorker. Not exactly radical rags.

One commenter there, Joseph Cannon { cannonfire.blogspot.com }, I believe also posts occasionally at DU.

8. great article

To sum up:

* The Deep State is likely maneuvering Trump already.

* There are clearly elements of a coup in government occurring right now.

* Former Homeland Security officials believe Trump/Bannon need and want a terror attack to happen so they can seize all the reigns of power, perhaps changing the country forever.

A LOT of dems are not getting this. Too busy commenting on trumps twitter and making fun of him and the depolables. We are in the deepest of shit and there is very little "funny" about it.

4. Since 2014 Gorka has acted as editor for National Security Affairs for the Breitbart News Network.

says Wiki

So he is a bannon henchman who apparently has a LOT of contacts.

ya know...this is the first time, since reading his bio, I have seriously thought of a coup. This guy has contacts everywhere.

9. A good TPM article on Sebastian Gorka, from yesterday

How Did Sebastian Gorka Go From The Anti-Muslim Fringe To White House Aide?

Sebastian Gorka never became a household name among the counterterrorism experts who populate K Street think tanks and university international relations departments during his years in Washington, D.C. Now he is President Donald Trump’s deputy assistant.

While Gorka, a former Breitbart News national security editor and fixture on Fox News, published the New York Times bestseller “Defeating Jihad: The Winnable War,” held various positions at military educational institutions and even testified before the House Armed Services Committee on the threat of “global jihadism,” he was little-known in mainstream D.C. circles before the 2016 election year.
...
His book “is like reading a bad high school student’s paper that has been cribbed together from Wikipedia, and that’s with all due respect to Wikipedia,” Safi said.

“Frankly it is not only embarrassing, it is dangerous that someone like this has the ear of the President."

As the article notes, the websites of the small think tanks he and his wife Katharine (who was in Trump's DHS "landing team&quot have been central in were taken offline around the end of January:

which rather implies they were purely run by and for the couple.
