It certainly helps explain why the Euro elites are so keen not to upset Washington. You don't need to kill too many people to send a message. What infuriates me was how clueless I was when all this was going on. I don't feel guilty, but I do feel a degree of complicity by way of passivity and ignorance.
It also places Obama's comment in a new light, that he had to perform if he didn't expect to have a short and maybe early retirement, but of course he was looking for any excuse to sell himself on what he really wanted to do anyway.
There is no comparison. Obama was never at any risk from the Deep State. None. He is third generation IC. He was outed by Angelo Codevilla, the onetime ranking civil servant on the Senate intelligence committee. When Obama was first emerging as a possible presidential candidate an investigative journalist in Chicago (Sherman Skolnick, the last of the great muckrakers) alleged that Obama was an intelligence asset...Skolnick died a fortnight later of previously undiagnosed cardiac problems. Webster Tarpley wrote a biography of Obama that also demonstrated the Deep State context of Obama and his closest advisers. Tarpley predicted (in 2008, I think) that if Obama were elected the country was certain to end up in a civil conflict.
The US Left is a Cold War era controlled opposition. Both the domestic and foreign policies of his administration make a lot of sense when you consider things from this perspective.
Yes, I know most of that. I think he was posturing, but he surely also knows every agent has to worry that the permanent state might have some members who worry they are about to be exposed, or that an asset might go rogue, so he would be as periodic maintenance showing both his cowardice and very flexible knee.
You are right...but, frankly, I'd rather not waste anytime on the putrid inner life of a man as wretched and as cynical as Obama. I once saw a documentary (I think by Michael Moore) showing Obama addressing people in Michigan, reassuring them that it was safe to drink the dangerously contaminated water. He took a sip from some tap water and barely moistened his lips. The man is up there with McCain as a sociopath.
Thanks. That really was interesting.

Codevilla's piece is worth consideration.
