ANOTHER ORANGE REVOLUTION?

      The American media were shocked during the Helsinki Conference when Pres. Trump asserted that he believed Pres. Putin of Russia when he said there was no Russian interference in the American election of 2016, directly contradicting reports of American intelligence.  (Of course, the leaders of the FBI and CIA had conspired to place spies in the Trump campaign during 2016 and derail his Presidency after he won the election.  Never the less, it was interesting to hear a major Democrat politician soon after Helsinki declare that when you attack the American intelligence agencies, they can do things to harm you.  (At that moment, I thought about John Kennedy in Dallas in November 1963.)  I worried that so much of the Trump movement depended on one man.

     On a seemingly different issue, for some time NGOs (non-governmental organizations), social media, and out government, and major players like George Soros have played roles in various types of "color revolutions" in different nations.  There might be an unpopular president or dictator, an election with disputed results, mobilization of masses in protests, and with effort, the overthrow of the government.  Thus, the pro-Russian president of the Ukraine was overthrown and replaced by an un-elected government in Kiev, which led to the Russian seizure of Crimea and support of unofficial pro-Russian rebel forces in eastern Ukraine.

     But that was not all.  Recall the Arab spring?  First a rebellion in Tunisia, which was rapid and successful.  More important was the overthrow of American backed Mubarak in Egypt.  Though the beautiful CBS correspondent was sexually molested in the mass crowd in Cairo, the American media still portrayed the rebellion positively.  After Mubarak's fall, the new president of Egypt was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, often associated with Muslim terrorism.  But Obama was pleased with the change.  Sec. of State Hillary Clinton then pushed the buttons and Libya's dictator fell; but choas replaced him.  The American Ambassador and several American guards were murdered by Islamist terrorists in Benghazi, but Hillary and Obama blamed this on a Christian Egyptian then living in California who had made a video mocking Mohammad.  Then the US intelligence agencies decided to bring the revolution to Syria.  When alliance with the Kurdish minority proved insufficient, the US may have helped ISIS, to help destabilize the Asad regime, but Syria had Russian help, and it did not fall.  Instead, in time the Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt was overthrown.

     The question now, did the American intelligence agencies, working again with George Soros (important in financing the paramilitary groups of the Democratic Party, Black Lives Matter and Anti-Fa), the big tech social media that now censors more and more, the hate-Trump major media, conspire to bring an anti-Mr Orange Man revoluion to the USA?

     The blatant use of mail-in ballots to steal the election, the possible use of soft wear and tech voting machines that switched masses of votes from Trump to Biden, counted illegal votes for Biden, voted the dead and the mentally lost in nursing homes, refused to allow Republican poll watchers observe - except from 6 feet away or even 30 feet away.  The greatest stealing of an election in American history.  It is possible Trump even won the national popular vote.  It seems most likely he won the electoral vote.  If the courts do nothing, America's democratic republic is dead.  We will then join Athens as an historic example of failure.  The legislatures and courts have to reject all the illegal votes, and then Trump wins 4 more years as president.  If they fail, America will never have a fair election again, and the great experiment in freedom will come to a close.
