– “They Live” (1988), John Carpenter, Universal Pictures, Release date: November 4, 1988

(Article by Doug "Uncola" Lynn republished from TheBurningPlatform.com)

John Carpenter’s cult classic film “They Live” foreshadowed our current time in so many ways. The story told of disguised freaks appearing human while consolidating control over the upper echelons of society. To do this, they lulled the masses to sleep via advertising and materialism. The electronic media acted as a hypnotist’s watch on lethargic plebeians as they were cajoled into a dreamlike state, treated like puppets, and surveilled – by flying drones no less.

Given our current circumstances today the movie would be considered non-fiction; except with the truth-tellers on the still-free internet acting as the good guy media hackers distributing the sunglasses in the film that allowed the freaks to be seen in all their loathsome hideousness.

In “They Live”, the media hackers and sunglasses allowed the public to see behind the curtain, so to speak, which is a phrase taken from another film, “The Wizard of Oz”. It was when Dorothy and friends could see the wizard after a curtain fell and revealing him to be just a man operating technological buttons, levers, and a microphone in order to cast illusions upon the inhabitants of Oz.

And here’s the point of these cinematic parables:  The grotesque freaks from “They Live” and the wizard from the “Wizard of Oz” knew what they were doing as they purposefully deceived the citizens in their respective worlds; and the deceiving con artists did this so as to consolidate power and maintain control over whom they perceived to be dupes.

Sound familiar?

Because whenever we hear elected officials, talking heads in the media, and former and current high-ranking officials in the government pontificating regarding Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on FISA abuse as having found no evidence of political bias, we just know it’s a pack of lies.

They know what they are doing. And they know what they have done.

Although Horowitz gave the wizards and freaks the talking points they desired, the report was damning, to say the least, and it validated what we red-pilled denizens on the still-free internet understand happened during the 2016 Presidential Election as well as the ensuing treachery that later became the Mueller investigation.

And just as former FBI Director James Comey took to Twitter and The Washington Post to announce his vindication, both Attorney General Bill Barr and his “hand-picked US Attorney, John Durham, issued statements disagreeing with the IG’s conclusions”:

The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken…

– U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr – December 9, 2019

I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff.  However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department.  Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S.  Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.

– U.S. Attorney John Durham – December 9, 2019

In a later NBC interview, Attorney General Barr further clarified his views on Horowitz’s consistent predilections toward blind, deaf, and dumb justice:

But Barr argued that Horowitz didn’t look very hard, and that the inspector general accepted the FBI’s explanations at face value.

“All he said was, people gave me an explanation and I didn’t find anything to contradict it … he hasn’t decided the issue of improper motive,” Barr said. “I think we have to wait until the full investigation is done.”

Barr said he stood by his assertion that the Trump campaign was spied on, noting that the FBI used confidential informants who recorded conversations with Trump campaign officials.

In his December 11, 2019 testimony tightrope act before the U.S. Senate, Horowitz said he preferred the term “surveillance” over “spying” and, to his credit, retroactively annulled former FBI Director Comey’s self-vindication with this statement:

I think the activities we found here don’t vindicate anybody who touched this FISA.

Even so, 17 violations identified in the Horowitz report of which reporter John Solomon had added some further clarification:

The Appendix identifies a total of 51 Woods procedure violations from the FISA application the FBI submitted to the court authorizing surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page starting in October 2016.

A whopping nine of those violations fell into the category called: “Supporting document shows that the factual assertion is inaccurate.”

For those who don’t speak IG parlance, it means the FBI made nine false assertions to the FISA court. In short, what the bureau said was contradicted by the evidence in its official file.

To put that in perspective, former Trump aides Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos were convicted of making single false statements to the bureau. One went to jail already, and the other awaits sentencing.

The FBI made nine false statements to the court.

And, of course, all of the errors and omissions were made against Team Trump.  Does that seem random to you?  What were the odds?

But no political bias. Right. Got it.
