The outgoing Director of the US secret police spy agency, John Brennan defended the CIA against Donald Trumps response (tweets and press conference) to the CIA's leaking of fake intelligence to the the likes of CNN by effectively stating the the CIA were not Nazi's and warning that Donald Trump does not understand the true nature of the Russian threat (Manchurian candidate?).

"What I do find outrageous is equating intelligence community with Nazi Germany, I do take great umbrage at that, and there is no basis for Mr. Trump to point fingers at the intelligence community or leaking information that was already available publicly,"

"If he doesn't have confidence in the intelligence community, what signal does that send to our partners and allies, as well as our adversaries?"

“I don’t think he has a full appreciation of Russian capabilities, Russia’s intentions and actions,”

"Spontaneity is not something that protects national security interests and so therefore when he speaks or when he reacts, just make sure he understands that the implications and impact on the United States could be profound,"

In response to Trump's tweets and first press conference as President Elect -

Key highlights from President Trumps press conference as he reacted to the NAZI intelligence agencies leak of the MI6 dodgy dossier alluding to a Russia holding trump cards over President Trump, of compromising personal and financial information, including supposed video tapes of Donald with prostitutes in a hotel room in Moscow are:

“I think it’s a disgrace. And I say that, and I say that. And as something that Nazi Germany would have done — and they do.”

“It’s all fake news. It’s phony stuff. It did not happen. And it was gotten by opponents of ours, as you know because you reported it and so did many of the other people. It was a group of opponents they got together — sick people — and they put that crap together,” Trump said. “So I will tell you that not within the meeting, but outside the meeting, somebody released it. It should never have been — number one, should never have even entered paper. But it should never have been released. But I read what has been released, and I think it’s a disgrace. I think it’s an absolute disgrace.”

“Well, if Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset, not a liability. Because we have a horrible relationship with Russia. Russia can help us fight ISIS.”

“As far as BuzzFeed, which is a failing pile of garbage, writing it, I think they’re going to suffer the consequences.”

CNN - “Your organization is terrible… You are fake news.”

“Does anyone really believe that story? I’m also very much of a germaphobe, by the way. Believe me.”

Trump vs the Deep State that Hides in Plain Sight

The "Deep State" best describes the invisible labyrinth of power which truly controls the United States no matter which party is in power against which a President Donald Trump will find himself doing battle against as his first press conference illustrates where Trump let rip into the mainstream press (CNN) as he reacted to the CIA's leaking of another MI6 dodgy dossier to the mainstream press, calling it all 'Fake News', fake intelligence by something that could have come out of Nazi Germany.

The next video further explains the nature of the deep state as Mike Lofgren, a congressional staff member for 28 years, talks with Bill Moyers about what he calls Washington's "Deep State," in which elected and unelected figures collude to protect and serve powerful vested interests. "It is how we had deregulation, financialization of the economy, the Wall Street bust, the erosion or our civil liberties and perpetual war."

Trump's US election win amounts to a pressing of the RESET button on that which has passed for at least the past 40 years. Which demands a reappraisal of virtually everything to ascertain not just the impact of Trump but the trend reversal / rebellion underway amongst Western populations against the ruling elites that will impact on the mega-trend drivers of financial market trends for many years if not decades to come. In this respect my Trump Reset video series seeks to detail the key mega-trend geopolitical consequences of the Trump Reset, of why the US under a Trump Presidency is trending towards an inevitable war with China, economic, cyber and even outright military conflict, something that is deemed to be impossible by most today.

1. Delirium - Why Trump Won the Election

My first video in this series was in the immediate aftermath of the US election and explained why Trump won.

2. The Putin Doctrine

Whilst my second video concerned Trump following the "Putin Doctrine", one of there being no difference between that which is truth and that which is fiction.
