Lee Smith is one of the most decent and genuine people I have ever had the good pleasure to meet. In this interview Smith discusses his latest book “The Permanent Coup”.
The Trump-Russia collusion hoax, the Mueller investigation, the impeachment inquiry, the “weaponization of the coronavirus,” and now the riots raging in major U.S. cities are all intrinsically linked, says investigative journalist Lee Smith.
On Tuesday August 18th, I had the opportunity to talk to, be interviewed by, and brief the person described as the “main guy”, the “central investigator”, “the guy who coordinates all investigative aspects” behind the John Durham investigation.
His name is William Aldenberg, and before getting to the substance of the conversation some background context is needed.
On June 7, 2018, an indictment against Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe was unsealed.
Approximately six weeks later, July 21, 2018, the DOJ mysteriously declassified and publicly released the Carter Page FISA application. That’s when I noticed the first two documents were related. The FISA application was the “top secret classified document” described in the Wolfe indictment.
Immediately I recognized it wasn’t just any copy of the FISA application that was released by the DOJ; but rather a very specific copy of the FISA application. What the DOJ released was the exact copy used in the leak investigation of James Wolfe. The ramifications of this specific copy being publicly released were immediately noted, although almost everyone seemed to gloss over the issue in favor of discussing the content.
Former CIA Director John Brennan delivers the following message through his former chief of staff and spokesperson Nick Shapiro. The statement following an interview today by investigators looking into the background of the fake Trump-Russia conspiracy which John Brennan was promoting heavily in 2016 and 2017.
This segment from President Trump’s speech today deserves some emphasis and contemplation. As we have shared for several months the sales pitch of the DNC and leftists, writ large, is full of despair, doom, anger, hate and darkness. This is what they are selling in order to generate support…. and they are relying on their heavily created COVID crisis; hence the push to demand masks etc; to solidify this sensibility in the electorate.
The opposition’s arguments are weak, antithetical to the spirit of America, and their platform based on negativity. This provides a much stronger position for President Trump and all USA supporters to emphasize the opposite. We are a resilient nation. We live amid the most fortunate and abundant economic system in all the world; and we are not a people comfortable with despair.
Rally to the standard you set for yourself. Live your best life and influence those around you with a positive message. You might not even recognize it but there are people looking for you, looking for optimism and joy. Give that to them.
Our opposition is weak. They feed on fear and trepidation. Be courageous of spirit not just for self, but for those who need to see the path in others. Do not concede an inch in the battle of ideas by entering a space structurally designed to perpetuate a negative outlook toward our country. Stay focused, faithful to our American spirit, and optimistic. That is the way we build our coalition.
.
If there is a challenge I debate more than any other… it would be how to tell the brutally honest truth about the nature of corruption and yet not diminish the optimistic spirit we need to face that corruption. We cannot, ever, accept it. Additionally, representative government does not mean standing around waiting for leaders to solve the problem or reluctantly engage… take action. We are the solution we have been waiting for.
Surround your close-self with only those who raise your spirit. Do not ever succumb to dark imaginings… stride forcefully and purposefully. This election victory is not achieved when we cross the finish line; it will be won when we get up every day, alone, with purpose, and we deliberately train ourselves (mind and heart) to hold faith and live our best life.

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: You’re really fantastic, and I want to thank you very much. You really are. Thank you very much and thank you, Bill. And thank you to the Council for National Policy.
My brother, Robert, would have wanted me to be here today. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Together, we’re committed to protecting the American people, preserving American values, defending America’s heritage, and keeping America safe, strong, prosperous, and free.
Earlier today President Trump made an unscheduled stop at Arcaro and Genell Takeaway Kitchen, a pizza shop in Old Forge, PA. He left the limo, greeted by applause from the awaiting crowd, and the press pool was brought very briefly inside the small pizza place as POTUS greeted its employees and left with some pie.
POTUS showed off one of the pies, and said he wanted to stop here today “because they have great pizza.”
Get woke – Go broke, strikes again. When you consider the scale of the company and the resources available to them on branding and marketing…. one can only come to the reasonable conclusion that Goodyear is run by idiots.
On the positive side, the boycott response -which I fully support, not because of the originating stupid, but rather because I do not want tires from amplified corporate stupid on my vehicles- just shows the scale of economic backlash from average Americans.
There are more of us than them; they just control the mechanisms that allow us to communicate with each other – nothing more. Remember that !
Earlier today President Trump welcomed a visit by Iraq Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi to the White House. During the oval office meeting the two leaders took questions from the assembled press pool. U.S. media asked about the Steve Bannon arrest earlier today. [Video and Transcript Below]

[Transcript] – PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. It’s great to have the Prime Minister of Iraq, a very highly respected gentleman all over the Middle East, and respected very much by our country, too. I can say that.
And we will be discussing, today, the obvious: defense — and offense, I have to say. But we’ll be discussing military. We’re also involved in many oil projects and oil development within their country, and I think we’ve had a very, very good relationship since we started.
When we see that justice is measured, not by due process, but by compulsion; when we see that in order to invoke our right to due process, we need to obtain permission from those who rebuke the constitution; when we see that justice is determined by those who leverage, not in law, but in politics; when we see that representatives get power over individual liberty by graft and by scheme, and our representatives don’t protect us against them, but protect them against us; when we see corruption holding influence and individual liberty so easily dispatched and nullified; we may well know that our freedom too is soon to perish….

As we bear witness, anyone trying to convince us this entire assembly of our union is headed in the right direction, well, they might want to revisit their proximity to the 2020 election ballpark. Because they’re not just out of the city – they’re also out of the same state the election ballpark is located in….. Then again, the media know that.
David Mamet had a famous saying, essentially: …‘in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things’… By pretending ‘not to know’ there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.
