Donald Trump is an anti-Semitic Nazi, racist, misogynistic, narcissist, and a Russian spy.
Peter Stzrok, the FBI, CIA, NSA, John Brennan, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, the entire Obama Administration, and the mainstream media are all patriots, uncovering a secret plot between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to surrender America to Russia.
So we've been told.
Adolf Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf: "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it." The "big lie" is the foundation of gaslighting. Psychology Today has several articles about gaslighting, I picked one called: 11 Warning Signs of Gaslighting. (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/here-there-and-everywhere/201701/11-warning-signs-gaslighting). It is instructive.
Gaslighting is, at its core, a highly abusive form of concealment used by addicts, narcissists, and sociopaths to deflect attention from their own nefarious activities. I've taken several months off from social media and writing to simply observe. I have to confess, the incredible onslaught from the media and the Democrats directed at Donald Trump and his supporters gave me a moment of pause. Am I being a fool for supporting the President? Is it possible that he really is a Russian stooge? Is he the one telling the big lies? After four months of reflection, I have concluded that I, along with the rest of America, have been the victims of gaslighting. The Establishments of both parties, the media, and other leftists have conspired to promote multiple big lies, which they have used to conceal their own misconduct.
1. They tell blatant lies.
You know it's an outright lie. Yet they are telling you this lie with a straight face. Why are they so blatant? Because they're setting up a precedent. Once they tell you a huge lie, you're not sure if anything they say is true. Keeping you unsteady and off-kilter is the goal.
James Clapper testified before Congress that the government had absolutely no program of bulk data gathering on Americans. That was a lie. In fact we now know the NSA does have a program to collect the metadata from every call, text and email placed in the United States.
James Comey said that he had never leaked anything to the media about the so-called Russia Investigation. That was a lie. In actuality, Comey leaked the "private notes" of his conversation with the President about the investigation to his "friend," who then sent it to the New York Times at Comey's instruction. It was not his only leak. His former subordinate, Andrew McCabe testified that Director Comey instructed him to leak certain information about the investigation to the New York Times prior to the election.
The entire Obama administration, including the FBI, DNI James Clapper and CIA Director Brennan, said that they had not conducted any surveillance on Trump or his campaign. That was a lie. In fact, as was announced on Friday, the Obama Administration sought and received multiple FISA warrants to wiretap Carter Page and Paul Manafort, both of whom were a part of the Trump campaign. The FBI and CIA also used foreign agents in foreign countries to conduct undercover meetings with George Papadopoulus, another member of the campaign, in an effort to catch him saying anything that might compromise Donald Trump or his campaign.
The FBI's Director of Counterintelligence, Peter Stzrok, testified before Congress that he was in no way motivated by deep political animus to exonerate Clinton and investigate Trump prior to the election. This is notwithstanding the fact that his own text messages reveal his desire to impeach Trump for collusion even though there was, in his words, "no there there."
They have all told bold faced lies in an effort to keep the American people off kilter and uncertain as to what is really happening in government.
You know they said they would do something; you know you heard it. But they out and out deny it. It makes you start questioning your reality—maybe they never said that thing. And the more they do this, the more you question your reality and start accepting theirs.
As demonstrated above, each of these players continue to deny the obvious. Worse, each of these players now deny that they ever were supportive or Putin or Russia. Hillary Clinton was "always tough on Russia," despite hours of archived news clips and Youtube videos showing her coddling Vladimir Putin. Ditto for President Obama who withdrew missile defense from Eastern Europe at Putin's request in exchange for nothing.
These people continue to deny their own recorded statements about Russia and the Russian investigation.
They know how important your kids are to you, and they know how important your identity is to you. So those may be one of the first things they attack. If you have kids, they tell you that you should not have had those children. They will tell you'd be a worthy person if only you didn't have a long list of negative traits. They attack the foundation of your being.
Here is where we begin to see real evil. Every Trump supporter "separates children from their parents" at the border because they are horrible human beings. Trump supporters are "Nazis," undeserving of respect. We are bigots, unsophisticated, stupid, mean spirited, and (according to the head of the FBI's counterintelligence department) "smelly."
According to the gaslighters, if Trump and his supporters have their way, America will be destroyed. The Constitution will be burned. All non-whites will be rounded up and gassed in concentration camps in a new Holocaust. Children will be brutalized by the police. Women will be forced to have children they don't want or will die obtaining illegal abortions. All Hispanics will be deported.
To these sociopaths, and to be sure, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Comey, and Strzok are sociopaths, all Trump supporters are "deplorable." We are unworthy of representation and impossible to love. These gaslighters continue to attack the very identities of 65 million Americans, and it seems to be working. Trump supporters are a "silent" group for this very reason. Many have begun to doubt whether they are worthy enough to have or voice an opinion.
4. They wear you down over time.
This is one of the insidious things about gaslighting—it is done gradually, over time. A lie here, a lie there, a snide comment every so often...and then it starts ramping up. Even the brightest, most self-aware people can be sucked into gaslighting—it is that effective. It's the "frog in the frying pan" analogy: The heat is turned up slowly, so the frog never realizes what's happening to it.
The frogs in the frying pan. That's what we Americans have become. Think of where we started and where we are now with this whole Establishment vs. Trump treason game.
Here are a few posts I wrote more than a year ago, when the Democrats and the intelligence agencies were still denying that they had done anything to investigate Trump or his campaign:
Yes, I was speculating, but I turned out to be right. At the time, my liberal friends were apoplectic that I wouldn't just take the government's denial at face value. The government denied there was any investigation, but there was obviously an investigation. Then they denied that there was a FISA warrant, which we now know was also false. Then they denied that the FISA warrant was in any way connected to the campaign. They claimed it was merely "routine surveillance of foreign agents." Now we know that wasn't true either. There is nothing routine about surveilling your opponent's campaign officials. Then they told us that candidate Trump wasn't the target of the (previously denied) "counterintelligence operation." Now we know that each of these FISA warrants was based on opposition research papers created by the Clinton campaign and directly related to Trump's alleged improprieties.
They continue to deny that they were actively conspiring with each other and the media to use the entire national security apparatus of the United States to help Hillary Clinton get elected and "stop Trump," notwithstanding clear evidence of investigatory bias and misconduct on the part of the FBI. If Peter Stzrok had already concluded (as he did) that there was "no there there" with regard to so-called "Russian collusion," then why did he later want to join the Mueller team and work to "impeach Trump"? He obviously didn't care what the actual evidence showed. He just wanted to destroy the Trump Presidency, even if he had to lie to do it.
Between the ever changing lies, the suffocating media coverage of all of these supposed Trump outrages, and the Establishment's continued refusal to put an end to this farce, we have been worn out. This is their goal, to wear us down so we acquiesce to their abuse.
5. Their actions do not match their words.
When dealing with a person or entity that gaslights, look at what they are doing rather than what they are saying. What they are saying means nothing; it is just talk. What they are doing is the issue.
We are made to believe that Donald Trump is a secret Russian agent with deep ties to Vladimir Putin. Yet it is Bill Clinton who took $500,000.00 in speaking fees for pro government speeches in Russia. The Clinton Foundation made millions of dollars off of the "Uranium One" deal, in which 25% of America's uranium supply was sold to a company with close ties to the Russian Government. It was Barack Obama who withdrew America's missile shield from Eastern Europe, and President Trump who put some of it back.
It was John Podesta's brother who was an unregistered foreign agent for Russia who is now, cynically, getting immunity from Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort who is accused of ... wait for it ... being an unregistered foreign agent for Russia. John Podesta was Hillary Clinton's chief of staff during the campaign, but the Special Counsel sees no conflict here...
In point of fact, you can look at everything the Democrats and their co-conspirators are accusing Trump of doing and find that they have done or are doing the the same thing.
This person or entity that is cutting you down, telling you that you don't have value, is now praising you for something you did. This adds an additional sense of uneasiness. You think, "Well maybe they aren't so bad." Yes, they are. This is a calculated attempt to keep you off-kilter—and again, to question your reality. Also look at what you were praised for; it is probably something that served the gaslighter.
Every once in awhile, President Trump (and by extension his supporters) get a little praise. The New York Times, who has been one of the leaders in the gaslight movement, recently wrote a glowing piece on the Trump economy. When Trump attacked Syria, he received near universal praise for reasserting America's role as the world's policeman. Occasionally the President is praised as having a "good week" or a "good press conference," but in reality the Times and the rest of them hate Donald Trump and his supporters.
7. They know confusion weakens people.
Gaslighters know that people like having a sense of stability and normalcy. Their goal is to uproot this and make you constantly question everything. And humans' natural tendency is to look to the person or entity that will help you feel more stable—and that happens to be the gaslight.
The Democrats, the media and the Republican Establishment want to appear to be the stable, safe choice for the country. They have created this Russia nonsense to sow confusion and suspicion amongst the electorate. They cannot accept the results of the last election because they were, in fact, rejected by a population that they have victimized for years. Unrestrained government, unrestrained police power, and unrestrained corruption have been the hallmarks of Establishment government for decades. They have to hide it, so now these gaslighters have decided to really pour it on, making us feel stupid for ever rejecting them as our natural superiors.
8. They project.
They are a drug user or a cheater, yet they are constantly accusing you of that. This is done so often that you start trying to defend yourself, and are distracted from the gaslighter's own behavior.
This is the most obvious clue. Here they are accusing President Trump of collusion with Russia when the evidence conclusively demonstrates that it is the political establishment that has profited from a twisted relationship with Vladimir Putin. President Bush looked into Putin's eyes and "saw his soul." Some time after that, Putin invaded Georgia. Hillary Clinton presented Russia with a giant red and yellow toy button with the word "reset" on it. Putting aside the fact that it looked more like a nuclear button, Clinton also wanted to have a close relationship with Putin. She advocated for a "strong Russia," and a "stable government." This is after Putin's 2008 invasion of Georgia. Putin, for his part, took her words to heart and promptly invaded Crimea and the Ukraine.
It is the Clintons and their political allies who have profited financially from their relationships with various Russian oligarchs, not President Trump. And with regard to the allegations of election fraud, it is the Republican Establishment and the Democrats who conspired with the government to steal an election, not Trump. Whether by accident or design, they have projected their own serious misconduct onto the President in order to distract from their own bad behavior.
Gaslighters are masters at manipulating and finding the people they know will stand by them no matter what—and they use these people against you. They will make comments such as, "This person knows that you're not right," or "This person knows you're useless too." Keep in mind it does not mean that these people actually said these things. A gaslighter is a constant liar. When the gaslighter uses this tactic it makes you feel like you don't know who to trust or turn to—and that leads you right back to the gaslighter. And that's exactly what they want: Isolation gives them more control.
This is where the media has really shown its true identity as a destructive force in America. The gaslighters have recruited almost the entire mainstream media to tell us that we are bad people, that we are useless, that we are deplorable. Turn on any news channel (other than FoxNews) and you will see nothing but 24 hour coverage that is highly insulting to Trump and his supporters. Their commentary is more than just "negative." It is abusive.
If you support Trump you are a ___________. Fill in the blank with any abusive word you want, it has been used to describe you by someone on MSNBC, CNN, the print media, or network news.
The same is true of the entertainment industry. Movies and sitcoms routinely depict Trump supporters as fools and cavemen. You cannot watch an awards show without hearing "F-Trump" yelled throughout. Movie and television stars have been recruited by the left to spew hatred at middle America all in an effort to convince us that we are worthless and should just submit to the gaslighters.
10. They tell you or others that you are crazy.
This is one of the most effective tools of the gaslighter, because it's dismissive. The gaslighter knows if they question your sanity, people will not believe you when you tell them the gaslighter is abusive or out-of-control. It's a master technique.
Likewise, anyone left in America who is undecided or open to the possibility that the President is not a bad guy has been inundated with allegations that Trump and his supporters are, literally, "crazy." Trump is a narcissist, who has dementia, or early onset Alzheimers disease. Trump supporters are categorized as fools, uneducated, pathological.
All of this is an attempt to convince the undecided voters that a vote for Trump is a vote for a raving lunatic (and a spy).
11. They tell you everyone else is a liar.
By telling you that everyone else (your family, the media) is a liar, it again makes you question your reality. You've never known someone with the audacity to do this, so they must be telling the truth, right? No. It's a manipulation technique. It makes people turn to the gaslighter for the "correct" information—which isn't correct information at all.
This last one is perhaps the most obvious. These gaslighters in government and the media have been telling you that everyone else is a liar. President Trump is a liar. His cabinet officials are all liars. Every word out of his mouth and the mouths of his supporters is a lie. FoxNews is a network of liars. They tell us that if we want the "correct information" we have to go to CNN, or Adam Schiff, or Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton. Or better still, if we want the truth we should look to the FBI, or other professional liars like former CIA spook, John Brennan.
It's absolutely nuts. The evidence shows that these people have lied to us over and over again, yet we are being directed to them for the "truth." And so the gaslighting of America continues. It is time to wake up and realize that we are in an abusive relationship with the Democrats, the Establishment, the Deep State and the media. We have every right to reject them and leave. The longer we allow the gaslighting to continue, the harder it will be to stop the abuse.
