Joseph Curl - Washington Times: We live in truly terrifying times
[Wash Times] That headline is not hyperbole. It is sadly -- and horrifyingly -- true.Now, it’s not Donald Trump. We’ve had less skilled politicians as chief executive, and we just lived through eight years with a guy whose only real job outside of sucking off the government teat was "community organizer," whatever that is. No, a billionaire reality star is not the horror. And it’s not the coming automation boom, which will put millions of people out of work and further consolidate wealth in the hands of the richest. It’s not even the looming stock market crash that will occur when the bubble bursts (the thing about bubbles is they always burst, sooner or later). No, the terror is from within. The horror comes from our own government, and especially the intelligence community, where officials seem to have gone rogue and where anything -- and everything -- is now in play. The frightening reality is that a president laid seeds to destroy his successor -- who, as it turns out, he targeted with the secret spy organizations at his beck and call. During the last days of his term, Barack Obama set out to sabotage Mr. Trump by spreading intelligence information throughout the federal government, as well as to foreign governments. In a governmentwide effort, Mr. Obama and his cronies "scrambled to spread" damaging information about Mr. Trump and his associates meeting with the Russians, The New York Times reported. "As Inauguration Day approached, Obama White House officials grew convinced that the intelligence was damning and that they needed to ensure that as many people as possible inside government could see it, even if people without security clearances could not," The Times wrote.
