It's Christine Blasey Ford conspiracy theory time!

Today is the day for really weird conspiracy theories revolving around Christine Blasey Ford. While I doubt that anything will beat the MKULTRA theory discussed in our previous post, this one, from a Breitbarter, comes close.

In short: There has been a minor brouhaha involving the claim that Blasey Ford offered polygraph counseling to a friend. (A completely irrelevant matter, especially in light of Kavanaugh's many perjuries.) The friend was one Monica McLean, identified by the Breitbarter as an FBI agent operating out of the dreaded Southern District of New York -- yes, the same district that went after Michael Cohen. Even worse, she was a public information officer who worked with that infamous fiend known as...Preet Bharara!

AIEEEE!!!

There's only one obvious conclusion:
If so, and I think the likelihood is pretty good, doesn’t everything known just easily reconcile if you think of Ms. Blasey-Ford as a tool for those ideologues?

If Ms Monica Lee McLean and her allies wanted to strike, she couldn’t be the visible face of the confrontation because she was retired FBI.  It would be too obvious.  She would need a patsy; a friend who could deploy the hit on her/their behalf.  It would need to be someone she could shape, easily manage and guide etc.  Someone who could be trusted, and at the same time would be trusting of them.

It is quite likely Ms. McLean selected/recruited her life-long best friend, Ms. Blasey-Ford.
Oh, bruddah!

But that's not all! In a previous post, we noted that Roger Stone has proffered a particularly off-the-wall view: He thinks that Brett Kavanaugh is a secret agent of the dreaded Clinton conspiracy.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard -- who, during the Clinton presidency, functioned as a leading propagandist for the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy (UK contingent) -- offers his own version of Stone's theory. Read it for yourself and come to your own conclusions. Personally, I wouldn't trust Ambrose Evans-Pritchard if he said "Hi, I'm Ambrose Evans-Pritchard!"

This site refers to him as "Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of MI6" -- a claim I would usually dismiss as outrageous conclusion-hopping, were it not for the fact that I heard the same claim made all the damned time during the 1990s. (Of course, people routinely traded "spook" accusations in those days. It was sort of like exchanging business cards.) If he does have a link to British spookery, I bet it's with the same faction that gave us Cambridge Analytica.

The story at the other end of that link offers a reminder of why so many of us came to despise Evans-Pritchard:
"Journalist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard maintains that Foster had been "drafting a letter involving Waco" on the very day of his death. Moreover Evans-Pritchard says that Foster kept a Waco file in a locked cabinet that was off limits to everyone, including his secretary.

Prior to Waco, Foster was "dignified, decent, caring, smart" says Linda Tripp; in its aftermath though, she said: "Vince was falling apart."

She was with the former White House deputy counsel when the news about Waco broke on television. "A special bulletin came on showing the atrocity at Waco and the children. And his face, his whole body slumped, and his face turned white, and he was absolutely crushed knowing the part he had played."

"And he had played the part at Mrs Clinton direction," said Tripp.

Moreover, there was a marked contrast between Foster's heartfelt emotion at the Waco tragedy and Hillary Clinton's, Tripp insists: "Her reaction was heartless".
Bullshit. All of it. Tripp, a Republican mole in the Clinton administration (but never in a position to witness the things claimed here), is even less trustworthy than Evans-Pritchard. Remember, Monica Lewinsky never said "I hate Bill Clinton" -- but she did say "I hate Linda Tripp."

Back in the day, Evans-Pritchard was a major promoter of inane Vince Foster conspiracy theories. For more, check out Conason and Lyon's The Hunting of the President.

The above-cited blog post goes on to quote from an Executive Intelligence Review article about Evans-Pritchard. Not that I place any trust in EIR (a LaRouche publication), but one sometimes learns a few interesting nuggets when competing paranoia-peddlers do battle with each other. The convoluted piece discusses Patrick Knowlton, the "mystery witness" whom Evans-Pritchard says was the target of a Brett Kavanaugh cover-up.

God only knows what all of this is really about. If I had a day or two to devote to the exercise, I might be able to dope out what really happened and why a certain faction of the conspiratorial right hates Brett Kavanaugh. But frankly, I have better things to do with my time today.

If you hear about any further really off-the-wall Blasey Ford conspiracy theories, pass them along. In the meantime, I urge you to watch the following documentary about Roger Stone, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard and the Breitbart staff. This video tells you everything you need to know. (I trust you can ignore the politically-incorrect bit.)

Looks like the Koathanger Kavanaugh fiasco is going to make or break Bill Palmer and Michael Avenatti. That and lose some Democratic Senator's their jobs.
I've been thinking about the late John Murtha and how it would have turned out if he instead of Nancy "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi were speaker back in 2007. We would be in a different place.

Mike, we'd also be in a different place if Kavanaugh and Stone hadn't helped engineer the Bush coup of 2000. Such thoughts can drive you mad if you spend too much time with them.

I was not among those who were spewing Pelosi-hate at that time. Frankly, I felt that many of the Pelosi-haters on Kos and DU were Republican ratfuckers. For a while, they were screaming that we should punish Pelosi by voting a straight GOP ticket. THAT was a little too obvious.

I would be happy to see Avenatti brought down a peg, if only because I think his pursuit of the presidency could prove disastrous. Palmer? Well, as you know, his slap-happy optimism often annoys me. But his site has also directed my attention to some important stories I might have otherwise missed. So in general, I applaud his efforts.

Joseph, I'm glad to see you broadening your view to look back to 2000. Lately you've had a tunnel-vision on the latest breaking.

This is what happens when the CIA (or any clandestine service) becomes deeply embedded in the fabric of politics. It becomes impossible to sort anything out and society fractures.
