Anatomy of a Coup: The Obama-Era Big Lie That Launched a National Delusion

The narrative known as the "Russia Hoax" is presented as a significant deception on the American public orchestrated by certain political figures. New declassified documents are revealing crucial information that contradicts the established narrative regarding Russian interference and the actions of the Obama administration during the transition period to the Trump presidency.

• Knowledge of the Truth: By December 2016, key officials in the Obama administration were aware of several truths:

• Russia did not interfere with the voting process.

• The Steele dossier was financially backed by Hillary Clinton.

• Intelligence analyses did not agree that Russia aimed to aid Trump.

• The Clinton campaign had a strategy to falsely associate Trump with Russia to distract from her own weaknesses.

• Political Sabotage: The incoming Trump administration faced a deliberate effort to undermine its legitimacy, marked by actions that could be described as sabotage on a historic scale. This included efforts to hinder Trump's ability to govern.

• Manipulation of Intelligence: The House Intelligence Committee's report revealed that the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) was not an impartial evaluation. Instead, it was biased and designed to support a political narrative against Trump, favoring a portrayal of Russian support for him.

• Russian Intelligence Insights: Russian assessments indicated concerns about Clinton's health, described her as a threat to her candidacy, and noted that internal communications suggested a tactic of linking Trump to Russian interference. Furthermore, there were reports of political influence in the FBI's investigation of the Clinton emails.

• Suppression of Evidence: Critical information was omitted from the ICA, contradicting established intelligence practices, and denying the inclusion of relevant data that did not support the narrative that Russia preferred Trump.

This narrative presents the Russia Hoax as a calculated attack on the legitimacy of a newly elected president. It suggests that high-ranking U. S. officials engaged in a campaign to mislead the public and compromise democratic processes, prioritizing political motives over national security. The call for accountability and justice is urgent, focusing on the need to address and rectify the manipulation and deceit that occurred within the ranks of power. The implications of this analysis suggest a persistent impact on American political life and the integrity of its institutions.
