America has a fifth column. A fifth column is a “group of people
who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or
nation.” The fifth column in this case consists of all those in the deep state
and elsewhere such as academia, politics, and the media who have worked for a
soft coup against Trump, who have spread falsehoods to undermine his
presidency, and who are actively working to impeach him or invoke the 25th
Amendment on specious grounds. The fifth column aims to undermine the far
larger group within this nation who accept the results of last November’s
election and who are not trying to overturn it by devious non-election hook or
by non-election crook. The fifth column aims to undermine and overturn a
legitimate election using foul play, not fair play. The fifth column cuts
across party lines. It’s defined by its adoption of underhanded non-election
means to bring Trump’s presidency to a premature end. The fifth column wants to
see Trump deposed by anti-Trump forces within the government.
One of these fifth columnists
is a former advisor to Hillary Clinton by the name of Adam Parkhomenko. He
tweeted “Russia has an agent in the White House. His name is Donald Trump.”
Parkhomenko accuses Trump of acting on behalf of Russia. Fifth column
activities can be overt or clandestine. An accusation like this is overt.
Parkhomenko also accused Melania of being an agent of Russia.
Parkhomento’s claim that
Trump is acting on behalf of Russia is wild, unfounded and imaginary. His claim
is representative of the continual nonsense that is aired by the anti-Trump
fifth column.
If
the fifth column succeeds in getting Trump’s departure from office, it means
that they will have succeeded in overturning an election using non-election
methods. Elections are a part of American rule of law. Fifth column success in
deposing Trump would be a severe blow to rule of law in all its other manifestations.
Success by this fifth column would mean even greater rule by factions of
government, media and the deep state than already exists. Fifth column success
would mean success of the swamp creatures, at least until other ways are
devised and employed to drain their power.
