The Coup d’état Against And/Or The Assassination Of... Señor Trumpanzee

Some wonder how Señor Trumpanzee could have possibly passed over Jerome Corsi when he put together his Cabinet. Is it possibly that not even the 5th level baboons he put in place would agree to serve with Corsi, the far right's foremost conspiracy theorist? His latest is that the CIA is planning to kill Señor T. Remember that Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, Indira Gandhi body guards shot her in her garden. And if that isn't proof enough, Corsi asserts in his new book, Killing The Deep State that Trump is the target of a coup d’état being undertaken by the Deep State, including the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies that maintain a commitment to a globalist New World Order." For some reason-- no doubt the CIA-- Corsi can't find a real publisher and the book is being put out by Trump’s crony Christopher Ruddy on his neo-fascist propaganda outfit, Newsmax.

So who's this Corsi, the man who is even a less believable conspiracy theorist that Trump himself?

No one, however, has gone as far as Jerome R. Corsi, the self-proclaimed “investigative reporter” whose book during John Kerry’s presidential campaign, the “Swiftboating” of his Vietnam War record, badly damaged Kerry’s campaign, although the charges were false.

He is the same man who in 2012 wrote a column claiming Obama is a homosexual. This is the same Corsi who argued he had proof of Obama’s Kenyan birth, and that a pattern on a ring Obama wore proved that he was a secret Muslim. Corsi has a Ph.D. from Harvard and uses that credential to assert that his words have credibility.

Corsi is Washington correspondent for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars. Recently, he appeared on C-Span’s book show Afterwords, where he talked about his new book, Killing the Deep State. In a nutshell, here is how Corsi describes his thesis: “The central premise of this book is that President Trump is the target of a coup d’état being undertaken by the Deep State, including the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies that maintain a commitment to a globalist New World Order.”

From the moment Trump won, Corsi believes the “deep state” promised to interfere with his presidency, beginning with the NSA and Brennan at CIA placing Trump under electronic surveillance. Brennan, along with John Podesta, Corsi claims, began the story about “Russian collusion” to delegitimize the campaign. Robert Mueller was made special counsel because he is “a partisan deep state operative with close ties to FBI Director James Comey.” The deep state, Corsi believes, is seeking to force Trump to resign. If that doesn’t work, it plans to move to “impeachment or a charge under the 25th Amendment that he is mentally incompetent.”

Up to this point, Corsi’s book reads as a rehash of all the claims regularly made daily about the conspiracy by Trumpists. But he takes this one original, and scurrilous, step further. Should that not work, he claims, the deep state operatives have one measure left to take, and that is “‘executive action’-- a CIA plan to assassinate Trump… the deep state’s last resort.”

...Corsi’s narrative is a compendium of all the conspiracy theories put together and is bound to be a basic source for Trump’s defenders, who are taking out the crude edges and using his analysis as the standard for showing why Trump’s presidency must be defended at all costs against the nefarious deep state. In today’s polarized climate, the more that narrative is spread and adopted, the more it poses a serious threat to our democracy.

And it looks like Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has joined the assassination team! Oh yes... plotting a coup and murder, Grassley told CNN that "If I were President of the United States and I had a lawyer that told me I could pardon myself, I think I would hire a new lawyer."
