Yesterday, former President and current presidential candidate Donald J. Trump went to Iowa and did exactly what we expected him to do, which is remind the entire world who is still boss. Prior to the Iowa Caucuses, I penned a piece examining a bit of manageable panic on the part of the Intelligence Community causing it to augment the IC narrative script with planned revisions. 

In summary, I put it like this,

It’s clear that the IC is maneuvering to intercede on a set of “unavoidable circumstances” where it doesn’t matter what it does short of assassinating Trump, this is who the American people overwhelmingly want as President.

 This necessitates that the IC accept this fact and align accordingly.

Our entire point here is that alignment.

Leaving the assassination arrow in the quiver, the IC is preemptively constructing a deep chasm between an Executive and a Commander in Chief whom they could not effectively preclude from office in 2024. 

Therefore, the IC narrative must be tailored to gaslight Americans into believing that former President Trump is a “security threat".

[Read: Palpable Panic: Intelligence Community Tailors Narrative to Remove Trump for 2024.]

Iowa caucus live updates: Follow Republican campaign's first contest

That was before Iowa!

What about after Iowa?

What about the run-up to 2024?

To answer the second question first, you may not have to go past this headline:



For our answer to the first question, we go to the Intelligence Community mouthpiece, The Washington Post [the mouthpiece for DOJ/FBI is The New York Times]Trump scores decisive win in Iowa caucuses; DeSantis places second [Ashley Parker/Tyler Pager].

Our lens for the WaPo article is the pre-Iowa analysis detailing the IC framing of Trump as a “security threat", the pre-Iowa analysis projecting an unprecedented level of historical messiness with profound outcomes for 2024, and the post-Iowa narrative established by WaPo ergo the IC.

We set the ominous stage with this:

Does it not concern everyone that the Intelligence Community/Central Intelligence Agency operates in darkness and that their mouthpiece operates under the mantra “Democracy Dies in Darkness”?

It should!

The piece is mostly left for independent consumption and in-part opens, 

“With 96 percent of the vote tallied, Trump was leading with 51 percent Monday night - more than his next two rivals combined. His wide advantage on a night when turn-out was low put him on pace to shatter the previous margin of victory in the Republican caucuses, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis narrowly edged out former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley for second place.”

WaPo/IC didn’t bother to mention the brutally frigid Iowa temperatures and a blizzard that certainly affected voter turn-out instead preferring to drive the established platform narrative borne out of the Capitol “insurrection” entrapment operation: 

Trump’s victory came a little more than a year after…his incitement of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

WaPo/IC does cite the weather further down and then again near the end, but it only alludes to it as a factor for voter turn-out; never directly examining it.

This allows the IC to preserve its basis for manufactured narrative points.

The WaPo/IC piece goes on to line-out the already known future course:

  • …a presidential contest expected to play out as much in the courtroom as the campaign trail.” [91 charges across four criminal cases.”]

  • “Trump to return to power to exact revenge on his political opponents, pursue a more extreme agenda and root out career bureaucrats that he dismisses as the “Deep State” […] push false claims about the 2020 election, as well as use ominous and threatening rhetoric that historians have compared to that of authoritarian regimes.” 


    *This is pure political projection being inserted by the IC to undermine Trump prior to any second term and to intercede on that term if it comes to be. In short, they are framing Trump and any application of the rule of law to pursue those who criminally targeted him, by saying that he is going to do to them what they have already done to him.

  • …roughly half of Republicans…voted against the former president, though broader trends may be difficult to discern given the low turnout.”*


    This is the pretext for what I described yesterday, “The IC’s clear objectives were to erode at Trump’s base and drive his voters to a suitable replacement, like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, at the same time it was removing Trump altogether.” This context will be used to shoehorn in a Trump replacement.

  • “Thirty-one minutes after the caucuses began…the Associated Press called the race for Trump.” 


    *Remember when the IC/Fox News called Arizona for Biden very early on election night 2020 to begin the cascade to an eventually stolen 2020 election? Apply that here. It tells us that the IC accepts the “unavoidable circumstance” of Trump as the nominee meaning our focus must remain on what the IC will do to intercede on that. The early call preempted Trump’s victory celebration because no one had time to arrive; including the bartender, allowing the IC to paint the win negatively.

  • “Speaking roughly two hours after officially winning the caucuses, Trump offered an uncharacteristically unifying message.” 


    *More outright political projection here. Since his candidacy back in 2015, Trump’s message has remained a steadfast one of unity for all American people despite what is reported by others.  Identity politics and sown division are the tactics of anti-American Progressives and Marxists.


  • “..with a third-place finish, Haley [said] “I can safely say Iowa made this Republican primary a two-person.” 


    *This is an important narrative point being espoused by other MSM outlets like NBC at the same time it’s unbelievable fodder for fools. Like NBC, WaPo/IC are positing that somehow, a fight between two losers in second place DeSantis and third place Haley; with a huge gap to first, somehow impacts first place Trump. That’s only if Trump is subsequently removed according to plans. Nimarata Haley’s basic math skills deciphering the particulars of 1st, 2nd and 3rd are left for you to discern.

  • “70 percent of Americans don’t want another Trump-Biden rematch,” IC asset Nimarata Haley said. This indicates a clear path to another stolen election in 2024. 


    She’s wrong; however, in that Americans just don’t want anyone like Biden, her or the rest of them.  The piece wraps-up with several points including this one, emphasis added:

Beyond the 2024 stakes, Trump’s Iowa victory also holds outsize symbolic importance for the former president and his team. In 2016, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) narrowly edged Trump out for first place here, a loss that, despite becoming the Republican nominee, Trump has never forgotten.

- The Washington Post

Translated: Trump lost the Iowa Caucus in 2016 before going on to become the nominee so therefore and logically deduced, Trump winning Iowa in 2024 symbollically tells us that someone else is going to be the nominee.

As a part of a much broader plan, that’s the IC plan according to an entire stack of articles and evidence written before Iowa.

Not without a sense of irony, that plan could be entitled ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’.

After Iowa, that plan hasn’t changed; only the narrative behind it has changed.

Democracy dies in darkness.

That’s the plan.

The rest is just the sordid details.

SPOOKDBLOG COMMENT:
Spookd with Bradlee

There was a time when the Washington Post had considerable credibility based on their objective reporting.  That was under the guidance of Ben Bradlee, who had a degree of moral standards, until he was no longer essential to the Deep State after he helped engineer the Watergate scandal to eliminate Nixon (which he mistakenly presumed was to eliminate Kissinger.  

Ben's Two Bumbling Idiots
Once Bush moved into the Oval Office, he neutralized Bradlee, forcing him out of the WaPo Editor's slot to become a powerless "Editor at Large" with no authority or editorial duties! The positive aspect there was that it freed up Ben giving me plenty of personal time to review political history with Ben, who was more than willing to share major political secrets - some of which you'll find revealed in my blog posts (e.g., the incompetence of Woodward&Bernstein reporting on Watergate).

I invite you to read a bit more on the Deep State as I published in 2022.
[https://spookdblog.blogspot.com/2022/02/deep-state-strategy-revisited.html]

With that content in mind, you'll grasp the danger of the Deep State and how it manufactures propaganda [in the communist tradition] to undermine [and destroy] the US Republic!

Notably, once the RNC forced the newly elected POTUS [Reagan] to appoint GHW Bush [former director of the Intelligence Community] as his Vice President, Bush began populating the CIA with dozens of his proteges [e.g., Bob Gates (tabled an incompetent and dangerous horse's ass by his CIA superiors; Gates was voted out of his slot at CIA's operational training center in Camp Peary; he had previously been fired from his Soviet Analysis desk; after being booted from The Farm, he returned to the Soviet Desk where he was once again fired and relegated to a "security position" - where he was again fired, and then assigned to the Carter White House as a "Security Expert").

Bush also selected John Brennan, an analyst so lowly regarded he was assigned to the CIA "Terrorism Desk", the "graveyard" for incompetent analysts whose political connections prevented their dismissal. {I fired an incompetent Desk Officer and had him re-assigned to the DIA Terrorism Desk - where he lived up to his reputation as an incompetent}.

Miraculously, Brennan began publishing OpEds in the Washington Post under Bush (a completely unheard of, and illegal activity in prior years; he was then appointed as the DCI Briefer to Bill Clinton when Bush lost the election [indicating early collusion between Bush and Clinton (Clinton was programmed to lose to Bush in the 1988 (S)election, but, Bush's personality ended his political ascendancy by popular vote)].

Brennan, as a Bush protege, rocketed through the ranks [as did Gates].  Astonishingly, as an "analyst", was appointed as the CIA Chief of Station in Riyadh,Saudi Arabia, one of the most coveted assignments for operational professionals - certainly NOT an analyst position.  

Oddly overlooked by Terrorism Expert Brennan, the Khobar Towers was destroyed by a truck bomb in 1996, very much like the Mossad engineered False Flag bombings in Lebanon's Marine Barracks bombing (1983), Oklahoma City Truck Bombing (1995), the 1993 World Trade Center, all attributed to "Islamic Terrorists" [aka: Mossad].

{Has anyone ever given some thought to Brennan's time at CIA in 
connection with all this "terrorist activity"?}

Regarding the IC potential assassination attempts on Trump, keep in mind that Trump has already survived a number of such attempts.  One precaution he took was hiring his own security, consisting of well paid professionals who could not be bought or blackmailed [Secret Service (SS) folks are kept well away from him as an "outer perimeter".  Trump was made privy to video of the JFK assassination which showed some SS agents as assassins; Reagan's "assassin" was not Hinkley, but rather a SS agent assigned by GHW Bush.
