Blinken’s Lie Must Lead to Reform of Government

by Roger L. Simon

“A former CIA official testified that then-Biden campaign senior adviser, now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken ‘played a role in the inception’ of the public statement signed by current and past intelligence officials that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a disinformation campaign.

“Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and revealed that Blinken was “the impetus” of the public statement signed in October 2020 that implied the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden was [Russian] disinformation.”

What percentage of those 51 “current and past intelligence officials,” not to mention Blinken himself, knew they were lying?

My guess is 100 percent, unless they were uniformly stupid, which they aren’t.

They and Blinken thought their “bright, shining lie” (remember that?) was for what they considered the necessary evil of preventing another Trump presidency.

What they were actually doing wasn’t only un-American, it was pure Stalinism as practiced by the NKVD.

Joe Biden had already jumped on the Russian disinformation lie instigated by Blinken by repeating it during a debate with Donald Trump.  Our Soviet-like media, who had already swallowed and amplified the Trump–Russia hoax, questioned nothing.

With this new revelation, many are now calling on Blinken to resign. I doubt he will have the courage or honor. He will go on overseeing such things as the dismantling of the Abraham Accords as Saudi Arabia and Iran form an alliance with Russia and China, and hiding the active U.S. military involvement in Ukraine, all parts of what is arguably the most disastrous foreign policy in American history, until we have a new and better administration.

Almost simultaneous to Blinken’s unmasking, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stood in front of a crowd at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel to declare his campaign for the presidency.

His talk was well-received and interrupted frequently with applause and cheers, but the loudest positive response came when he quoted his uncle, John F. Kennedy, about the 35th president’s expressed desire to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”

Too bad JFK didn’t live to do it.

But it’s never too late, as they say. Now, three announced 2024 presidential candidates have declared their intent to dismantle and then rebuild from the ground up three-letter agencies such as the CIA and, needless to say, the FBI.

They are the Democrat Kennedy and Republicans Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy.

No one on the Republican side has much good to say about these agencies that have become forces unto themselves, bent on their own power and control, and unresponsive in the extreme to the public—the citizens that pay their salaries.

That Kennedy has stepped forward on the subject is most notable because the Democratic Party in general, victims of mass formation psychosis, almost always, in my experience, deny even the existence of the administrative state, aka the deep state.

Whether Kennedy can get through to this party of sheep, or a significant part of it, remains to be seen, but it’s good for the country that he’s trying. Those on the GOP side, although they may disagree with some of his policies—he’s excellent on health care as well—should applaud and support him where they can.

Our country, where few on opposite sides of the political/cultural divide even talk to each other, is a society hovering on the brink of secession or civil war. I am as opposed to Democratic policies as anybody, but don’t see a positive result coming from that.

Kumbaya, at this point, is of course ridiculous, but it would be a step forward if Trump, Ramaswamy, and others would publicly lend some support to Kennedy in the areas with which they agree.

That way, real progress might happen. The CIA and the FBI that have been hanging over our heads, spying on us, for decades could finally be actually dismantled and replaced.

Health care decisions might be returned to the citizens, where they belong rather than reactionary government agencies in league with Big Pharma.

The educational system could actually be an educational system and not an indoctrination camp for an increasingly illiterate public, among whom the average IQ diminishes yearly.

Democrats, to the extent possible, should be brought into this. Unfortunately, most Democrats of recent times resemble Blinken, in that they are terrified to speak or even to examine the truth. They engage in groupthink, afraid of being ostracized by friends, family, employers, and so forth.

This has been going on for so long these same people aren’t even aware of what has happened to them or what they have become. They are no longer citizens of a constitutional republic as envisioned by the Founders, but unwitting slaves to a new techno–totalitarianism.

2024 will be the year to put a stop to this.

(A Personal Note:  I would like to apologize to Oliver Stone, a friend of mine many years ago. I had thought his “JFK” was paranoid conspiracy-mongering. Evidently not.)
