After Donald Trump surprised the entire political and media establishment by winning the 2016 election, radical leftists launched a treasonous plot to destroy him politically. One of their main weapons was a special counsel, appointed by the Department of Justice in May 2017. Led by Robert Mueller, it was to investigate “interference with the 2016 election.”
This special counsel did not investigate the Democrats’ unconstitutional and other illegal actions. It investigated the duly elected president, Donald Trump.
Probably most everyday Americans did not believe that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election. At the same time, most probably believed and still believe that Robert Mueller was honestly investigating to make sure that was the case. The political elites and mainstream media certainly portrayed it that way.
But that is not true, as the facts have since proved. And they show that all these powerful people knew it! They all allowed it to go on as part of their own opposition to Mr. Trump and all he stood for.
Look again at the prophecy of 2 Kings 14:26: “For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, for there was none left, bond or free, and there was none to help Israel” (Revised Standard Version). This verse perfectly describes the attack represented by the Mueller investigation.
Consider the facts. President Barack Obama had set up the agenda before leaving office. His administration tried to help Hillary Clinton win the 2016 election. fbi Director James Comey opened an investigation against Donald Trump, continued the investigation after he was inaugurated president, lied about it, and entrapped and forced out Michael Flynn, who would have been in a position to uncover what the leftist deep state had been doing. The Mueller investigation was a way to continue targeting members of the Trump administration and to cover up the truth about what Obama and the others had done and were plotting.
Depending on how you count it, the Department of Justice investigation lasted between 22 months and at least three years—most of the president’s first term—before it finally closed. These people spent years pressuring, intimidating and spying on those connected to the president. They entrapped his national security adviser; raided the home, office, hotel and safe-deposit boxes of the president’s personal lawyer; intimidated dozens of people with indictments and threats of indictments. And in the end, they provided zero evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. That is because the Trump campaign never colluded with Russia.
All this is now publicly known. But few people have connected the dots to realize just what these facts reveal. Mainstream journalists certainly have not. They have continued covering for this fraudulent investigation.
You will only find real insight from analysts outside the mainstream. On the blog Conservative Treehouse, investigative journalist Mark Bradman has connected these dots: “Robert Mueller had two goals as special counsel. Goal No. 1 was to continue the fraudulent doj/fbi ‘Stop Trump’ operation initiated by James Comey, Andrew McCabe and their crew, technically named Crossfire Hurricane. Goal No. 2 was to bury the illegal action; to create the cover-up needed for everything that took place in the ‘Stop Trump’ operation” (Jan. 30, 2021).
That second goal is the one most people have overlooked—but it is most important! The Mueller investigation’s goal was not only to keep all the actions against President Trump going, but also to bury all the illegal action. We must realize this.
People knew that Russian collusion never happened and that Mueller’s investigation was actually a political weapon to stop Trump. Bradman asserts that, in fact, everyone in Washington, D.C., knew!
“They all knew.” That’s how Bradman put it. “Every person in every branch of government and every federal agency knew Mueller’s real purpose” (ibid). There was abundant proof of what had been going on under the Obama administration and what the deep state was doing even after President Trump took office. But Mueller and his team used their power to cover it up and make it much harder to find and prove. And everyone permitted it: They allowed an illegal, treasonous attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election!
Think of all the people who had to cooperate for the Mueller probe to be as invasive as it was for as long as it was, and you begin to realize just how deep this corruption goes.
As Bradman wrote: “The legislative branch knew. The judicial branch knew. The executive branch knew. The fisa court knew. … All of the insiders knew the Mueller probe was one big vacuum to suck up all of the evidence that would have exposed a corrupt [depraved] system to We the People.
“They did all of this because the scale of the originating scandal was so severe it would be almost impossible for our nation to cope with the consequences” (ibid).
Everyone involved in permitting that investigation knew they were participating in an illegal, treasonous attempt to overturn the legitimate results of the 2016 election. That was the purpose of Mueller’s special counsel.
What else could possibly explain an investigation into zero evidence of something that did not happen?
The complicity among the political class, including Democrats, Republicans, the news media and others, is far deeper than Americans realize. The amount of power, money, influence, technology and intimidation they wield is staggering.
We need to be concerned most of all about that second goal: “to bury the illegal action; to create the cover-up needed for everything that took place in the ‘Stop Trump’ operation.”
The deep corruption involved here is now being exposed before our eyes. And it was prophesied in 2 Kings 14:26. This verse gives you an idea of the extent of the corruption in Washington. America’s affliction is very bitter, and nobody with any power is helping.
The late conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh knew Donald Trump. He said he asked him if he was guilty of the accusations that the Mueller investigation was using as a pretext. Mr. Trump said no. He asked if he was sure. He said he was absolutely innocent. Mr. Limbaugh then said, If you know it’s false, then they know it too.
Mueller’s special counsel was not a legitimate investigation, Mr. Limbaugh said, and Donald Trump may have been the only one in Washington who didn’t realize it! He said he tried as hard as he could to convince the president that the whole operation was a political attack on his presidency. President Trump knew he wasn’t guilty of the accusations, but he could not believe that the Department of Justice and the rest of the government were so massively corrupt.
But it was that corrupt! Especially after eight years of Obama forcibly shaping the government. Special Counsel Mueller knew no collusion with Russia ever occurred—and almost everybody else knew it, too. The leaders at the Justice Department knew it. The leaders at the fbi knew it. The directors of the intelligence agencies knew it. Members of the congressional committees, both Republican and Democrat, knew it. They all wanted to create the illusion that Mueller’s team was looking for the truth, but it never was. They were simply covering up their attempted coup—their treason against this nation!
How could radicals keep all their corruption quiet? Why did some Republicans let them? Well, they all live by an understanding in “the swamp,” as Washington’s political class is often called. The understanding is this: If you don’t go along with the way things are done, the established powers will ensure you lose everything! That is why, for example, a Republican congressman characterized Trump supporters as part of a “cult.” He accused 75 million Americans of being in a cult—yet he views the way people in the swamp conduct business as good and normal. That is how sick and warped even some Republicans have become.
These people were literally trying to overthrow the government of the land! To see the full picture, Mr. Trump would have had to realize that their goal was to cover up the truth about what they were doing. He would have had to realize that even some of his own lawyers were in on it. Mr. Limbaugh said lawyers like John Dowd were telling the president that the fastest way to make the investigation go away was to cooperate with it. So he did, knowing they would find no Russian collusion. But this made the investigation seem legitimate.
In America, “innocent until proven guilty” is a foundational principle of justice. The burden of proof is on the accuser. If someone accused you of colluding with Russia, you wouldn’t have to prove that you didn’t; the accuser would have to prove that you did. Yet the Justice Department and the government tried to make Donald Trump out to be guilty unless he proved his innocence, in a blatant attempt to dethrone him.
This is what the 2 Kings 14 prophecy is all about. There was no helper for Israel! Do you see any help? Now even Rush Limbaugh, a very influential man who was unafraid of exposing the radical-left agenda, has died. There is nobody, especially in Washington, who is a helper for Israel! God was using President Trump, but leftists stole the election and he has been politically exiled! And none of these terribly guilty elites are being prosecuted, much less convicted or imprisoned—because even many of the prosecutors and the judges are corrupt!
We now know that the Justice Department and fbi lied to the fisa court, yet that court never said anything about it. Why is that? Because they are in on it! This shows you the power of the radical-left deep state.
Mr. Limbaugh said Trump had trouble accepting how deep the corruption truly goes. But consider it: The radicals control everything—education, the news media, entertainment, social media, spy agencies—and now, much of the federal government! They can protect lawless rioters and steal an election at the same time they block your free speech for saying that the election was stolen. My son’s Trumpet Daily show has been censored by YouTube.
They impeached President Trump even after he left the White House in an attempt to block him from ever holding office again. Meanwhile, they are rewarding people at the very center of the corruption, like Peter Strzok, with high-paying jobs and back pay.
That is the way things work in the swamp. They have the power and the control. How can you win against that? How can you win if they rig the election itself?
Let’s back up and examine how America got to this point.
In our modern world, digital surveillance and collection plays a huge role in intelligence gathering. International conflict has become a digital battle space, and leaders the world over have grown very dependent on their intelligence services to know what is going on. Those intelligence agencies are becoming the backbone of governments.
The U.S. has some of the most sophisticated intelligence services and data-collection technology in the world. The nsa surveillance database is an extraordinarily powerful tool used by America and its allies. And now the nsa gets a lot of its data from private technology companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft. The intelligence apparatus has recruited these firms as crucial partners (see Chapter 5).
Barack Obama has used this partnership to weaponize America’s intelligence services. He successfully took a system created to surveil and neutralize the nation’s external enemies and deployed it instead against his political enemies within America.
Obama effectively created a new bureaucratic monster out of the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence—a “fourth branch of government” full of unelected deep state bureaucrats who are loyal to him, his ideology and his goals.
“When the intelligence branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States,” wrote Mark Bradman. “They get around those legal limitations by subcontracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database [speaking of the vast nsa database]. The government cannot conduct electronic searches (Fourth Amendment issue) without a warrant; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access” (July 26, 2021).
This means that these agencies can spy on anybody they want to—even on Donald Trump while he was the sitting president! These bureaucrats have the capacity to get into your computer and read everything you write and hear virtually every word you say. You must realize that there is really no privacy anymore and, frankly, no freedom!
These “private” companies now openly admit that they are helping the government’s intelligence agencies to monitor all activity in their platforms to identify whatever they consider “extremist content.” They define extremism—and it happens to be anyone with opposing political views! If they dislike your views—even if you are the president of the country—they will censor you, blacklist you, harass you, even throw you in jail. They have usurped authority on a scale never before seen in this country.
This is rank lawlessness. It tramples the Constitution, the supreme law of the land!
These companies now have a virtual choke hold on the government—as Obama guides them. They have become weapons for Barack Obama. That is what it amounts to, even to this day. This undemocratic “fourth branch of government” is out of control, and it controls the other three branches. And none of these people doing the dirty work have been elected, other than Barack Obama.
How could we Americans allow this to happen?
Of all the intel agencies, the one Obama wanted control over most was the fbi. The fbi does the domestic investigative work on anyone who needs or holds a security clearance, so control over the fbi put him in charge of who can access what information.
To guard against abuse of power, intelligence agencies’ “information is purposefully put into containment silos; essentially a formal process to block the flow of information between agencies and between the original branches” of government, Bradman wrote (July 4, 2021). These intelligence bureaucrats can keep their information locked away from elected officials if they choose, and there is virtually no oversight! They decide which “silo” you have access to so you see only the intelligence they want you to see.
The intelligence branch has full control over what is considered classified information. That is why this “fourth branch” has control over the three actual, constitutional branches: executive, legislative and judicial. When other branches ask for intelligence information, often the agencies will provide it with key parts redacted to hide what is really going on. They control that, without oversight. The only ones who see the whole picture are Barack Obama and his top men.
This gives these people unparalleled control! They had such power that they could keep President Trump out of crucial information and decisions! Over and again, Trump tried to get people into key positions, and these bureaucrats would deny them. They had unchecked control and could stop him.
This is unconstitutional, illegal, lawless and treasonous! It is unbelievable they can do this and get away with it, yet that is exactly what they are doing.
One article by Bradman is titled “The Surveillance and Political Spying Operations Highlighted by John Durham Are the Tip of the Iceberg.” He is right about that: What we are seeing is only a fraction of this monstrous amount of corruption!
“Barack Obama and [Attorney General] Eric Holder did not create a weaponized doj and fbi,” Bradman wrote; “instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. Together they recalibrated the domestic surveillance capabilities, the internal spying systems, so that only their political opposition would be targeted” (Feb. 12, 2022). By doing this, they gained control of the whole system, and the fruits prove that. Instead of aiming these powerful tools at terrorists and other enemies outside the country, they aimed it at their political opponents.
These people consider Donald Trump’s Republican followers extremists who must be scrutinized and investigated. And this new security system they can use against them is extraordinarily powerful.
What these people are doing is brazenly treasonous! It is an all-out war against the Constitution. They are unimaginably depraved. And they have the blessing and aid of the media and the educational system as well. They hate the Constitution and are working to destroy it. If our people knew even a little bit about God and the Bible, they would recognize that.
To ensure legislative oversight of the intelligence community, a “Gang of Eight” was created to include top House and Senate leaders, both Republican and Democrat. The intelligence community is not to carry out intelligence-gathering operations without the majority and minority parties knowing about them—that is against the law. The legislature is authorized to scrutinize the intelligence operations of this “fourth branch.” “The modern design of this oversight system was done to keep rogue and/or corrupt intelligence operations from happening,” Bradman wrote. “However … the process was usurped during the Obama era” (ibid).
Comey and his team were investigating Donald Trump for over a year, and these eight members of Congress never knew it. When Comey testified before Congress on March 20, 2017, why they kept this secret, he arrogantly said it was “because of the sensitivity of the matter.” Essentially he said, We in agencies like the fbi know how to handle it. We don’t need oversight! James Comey was never elected by anybody, and he isn’t accountable to the people. Yet Congress never pressed him on this point. That is madness. That is inviting Satan the devil to conquer you!
Regarding Comey’s comment, Bradman wrote, “The arrogance was astounding, and the acceptance by Congress was infuriating. However, that specific example highlighted just how politically corrupt the system had become. In essence, Team Obama usurped the entire design of congressional oversight, and Congress just brushed it off.” This represented “the total usurpation of the entire reason the Gang of Eight exists: to eliminate the potential for political weaponization of the intelligence community by the executive branch. The Gang of Eight notifications to the majority and minority of the legislative branch are specifically designed to make sure what James Comey admitted to doing was never supposed to happen” (ibid). This means this “fourth branch of government” can do whatever it wants.
How could this happen? Clearly, the Democrats liked what these intel agencies were doing—and some Republicans did as well. Many of them were themselves corrupt!
How alarming that America has no leaders willing to stand up for the truth. Everybody fears Barack Obama—and they dislike Donald Trump, including most Republicans.
It is bitter to see elected representatives in Congress allow some unelected, arrogant, satanic cabal to take over our country. It is infuriating to have a tyrant ruling the intelligence agencies and the three constitutional branches. Now these people are working hard to stop all state-level election reform efforts and to remove constitutional protections so they can steal elections!
This compliant Congress apparently will bend to anything or anyone that has real power. With precious few exceptions, they will not stand up because they fear retribution. “Not a single person in power will say openly what has taken place,” Bradman wrote. “They are scared of the fourth branch. The evidence of what has taken place is right there in front of our face” (ibid). This man can see it.
These federal agencies were spying on Americans en masse. That included everyday Americans, journalists, conservatives, members of the Trump campaign and even sitting members of Congress! In 2016, there was a 350 percent increase in official requests to unmask the identities of Americans whose communications and other details the government was tracking. You know they found a lot of incriminating information and used it to blackmail people. Is that why so many people have remained silent about all this criminal activity? That is the kind of world we live in.
A democracy that is run like this cannot last long. If Americans do not love law and love government, and cling to them, they will be stripped of them.
A treasonous leader can use that powerful apparatus to rule like an autocrat! That is exactly what Barack Obama did. He said he was going to “fundamentally transform America”—and that is what he has done. He didn’t explain what he meant by that, but now you can see by the fruits what he meant.
A tyrant who thinks like the devil has gotten control of what is left of the glory and wealth of America. The devil has great power, and he has a burning goal to blot out what God has done and is doing. People who aren’t close to God have no chance against Satan—and the vast majority of people are quite far from God!
But if you turn to God, He will show you exactly what Satan is doing and give you the power to withstand him.
Satan has the power to conduct great evil and not only hide it but then accuse others of committing it. We saw this with Obama’s use of the deep state in general and the Mueller investigation specifically. It is an example of the “depths of Satan” that Jesus Christ warned about (Revelation 2:24). You can prove the real purpose of the Mueller investigation; but Satan knows that if he makes it complicated enough to require deep study to understand it, most people won’t dig into it, and he can deceive them. The powerful way Obama works to destroy the nation he was twice elected to lead is one of those “depths.”
This is how you can have everyone in power knowing that the Mueller investigation was a fraud to cover up what happened surrounding the 2016 election, and knowing the fraud surrounding the 2020 election—yet demanding that you say Mueller was completely honest and the 2020 election was completely fair. They are like a vile religious cult!
One stunning example was abc commentator George Stephanopoulos actually shouting at a Republican senator, demanding that he say the election was fair. They know that many everyday Americans realize something is wrong. They want to tell you what you can say and even what you can think. And if you don’t obey, they will politically, culturally and technologically exile you as they amass more money, influence and power.
You must recognize where that attitude and that spirit come from.
With no helper for Israel, many terrible things are going to occur. Already other nations are betraying America, as well as its brother nations Britain and Israel. Iran is developing nuclear weapons. It is seeking ways to humiliate the United States. China is becoming more belligerent. It is targeting U.S. allies like Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan while drawing closer to America’s enemies—holding drills with Iran and backing Cuba. Europe is increasingly determined to become more independent from America and is expanding trade with China. Germany has pursued alignment with Russia through the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and other means. As God prophesied, our national “lovers” are going to betray us and besiege us (Ezekiel 23). America will be left without a single helper!
People are looking to Republicans, to conservative commentators and to preachers for hope. The reality is that there is no hope without God!
Satan is working to blot out the name of Israel. The good news is, God has a master plan to save Israel permanently—and He is carrying it out. With God, there is endless hope.
The world around us is about to die. Bible prophecy shows that it will end in a terribly violent and tragic way. But it will be replaced by a wonderful new world ruled by Jesus Christ. Once that world is here, never again will you hear the words “there was no helper for Israel,” because all people will be Israel and be in the Family of God. What an inspiring hope!
