A pastor I know just sent this to me - Can we get this to law enforcement?

This is simply the nuttiest thing I've ever seen. What makes it worse is that this guy (I googled him) was at one point Deputy Secretary of State!

What is happening to our country? More importantly, isn't this treasonous action he's talking?

- Subverting an election
- Claiming credit for sending emails to Russian-collaborator Julian Assange.
- Ensuring a "peaceful" transition?

Usually, I would not even pay this any mind. But think about that crazy FBI tweet the other day. And this guy is not some random nut. He worked in the highest levels of government for decades.

Glad to know if he's officially just a kook these days, but if not, someone should report this.

From Wikipedia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Pieczenik

On May 3, 2011, radio host Alex Jones aired an interview in which Pieczenik claimed that Osama bin Laden had died of Marfan syndrome in 2001 shortly after the September 11 attacks, and that the attacks on the United States on 9/11 were part of a false flag operation by entities within the American government, the Israeli leadership and Mossad.

On October 20, 2011 in an interview with Alex Jones, Pieczenik claimed that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was alive, and said, "There’s no way they killed Muammar Gaddafi, that’s not our operating mode and I’ve been involved in 30 years with the takeouts and regime changes." He also criticised President Barack Obama, calling him an "obsessional pathological liar".


This particular kook is a psychiatrist! (I'll bite my tongue about my assessment of the mental health of psychology majors during my college years.)

It's not a new phenomena in this country. We also had insanity at high levels during the "Red Scare" of the McCarthy years.

video about it. But there is something going on at the FBI it may not be as sinister as this (sure hope not)...but there is something a happening. Everybody should call the DOJ to complain and your representatives.

"After Hillary wins these traitors should be rounded up and locked away..."


That's a weird thing to believe. Do you base that on justice or simply that you dislike people who hold different views than you?

We as Democrats, and progressives don't go around willy-nilly locking up the feeble minded, or the mentally ill.
