Does anyone remember Martha Mitchell? I do. Martha Mitchell was the wife of John N. Mitchell, United States Attorney General under Richard Nixon. Martha had a habit of listening in on John's phone calls and meetings, and then phoning her media friends with political scoops.

Like Nixon, former President Barack Obama abused his presidential powers and obstructed justice by weaponizing the FBI and CIA for political gain

In 1972, John Mitchell resigned as attorney general and became the director of the Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP), and Martha became an outspoken DC socialite who regularly went on talk shows and frequently talked to the press. During the campaign, Martha began telling her media contacts that CREEP had begun resorting to dirty tricks to win the election. The dirty tricks Martha Mitchell referred to were the stealing of top-secret documents, and the bugging of phones at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) offices in the Watergate complex.  A week before the break-in, the Mitchells traveled to Newport Beach, California to attend a series of fundraising events. John Mitchell was notified that his wife had made these explosive allegations. He denied Martha's extraordinary claims at a news conference, and then engineered the plan to keep her in California. Mitchell hired Steve King (former FBI agent) to isolate Martha and make sure she knew nothing about the Watergate break-in and could not contact any reporters.  In August 1972, Nixon lied to the American people in a speech insisting he was not connected to the burglary in any way. The truth is that Richard Nixon was deeply involved in the dirty tricks, the coverup, and had instructed the CIA to impede the FBI investigation of the crime. Obstruction of justice and abusing presidential power are far more serious crimes than the Watergate break-in itself. Sound familiar? It should. Like Nixon, former President Barack Obama abused his presidential powers and obstructed justice by weaponizing the FBI and CIA for political gain. Barack Obama had the FBI and CIA illegally spy on the Trump campaign through fraudulently acquired FISA warrants. Obama's Democrat minions, and their globalist handlers, have been trying to overthrow America-first President Donald J. Trump, the duly elected sitting president of the United States, for four years. 

Democrat dirty tricks and multiple coup attempts against President Trump

The ongoing Democrat dirty tricks and multiple coup attempts against President Trump have escalated to a politicized Martha Mitchell effect. I will explain.  The Martha Mitchell effect is when a psychiatrist mistakenly or willfully identifies a patient's true but extraordinary claims as delusions. Before Martha Mitchell's unfortunate clash with the deep state, what was done to her was called gaslighting.  "Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or group covertly sows the seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question there own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes, including low self-esteem." The goal of gaslighting is to destabilize the individual and delegitimize the victim's beliefs and claims. For movie buffs, the term gaslighting is derived from the 1944 film Gaslight starring Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten. In the film the husband deliberately tries to convince his wife that she is insane. Gaslighting is a particularly sinister attack on a person's perception of reality.  On October 14, 2020, the New York Post broke the explosive story of Hunter Biden's laptop with its incriminating emails, and the entire political landscape changed. The article, "Hunter Biden emails show leveraging connections with his father [Joe Biden] to boost Burisma pay", ignited a firestorm. Subsequent emails released from the trove expose the Biden crime family, and its deep financial involvement with communist China.  

Russia is not interfering in the election, it is the big tech Internet companies and mainstream media that are attempting to steal the election for their candidate, Beijing Joe

Russia is not interfering in the election, it is the big tech Internet companies and mainstream media that are attempting to steal the election for their candidate, Beijing Joe. They should be charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury for their part in the plot to censor the explosive story of the Biden crime family.  The evidence of staggering political malfeasance discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop is the quintessential smoking gun. Yet, when President Trump refers to the Biden crime family, the colluding big tech companies and mainstream media politicize the Martha Mitchell effect, and willfully identify the "true but extraordinary claims" as delusions.  It is essential to understand that Joe Biden's family financial involvement in China make Joe Biden a serious threat to national security. The coordinated attacks on President Trump are attempts to gaslight America. If they succeed and Beijing Joe Biden becomes president, China will not just own America, China will rule America.  President Trump has endured an unprecedented four-year campaign of anti-American, pro-socialist, pro-communist, pro-globalist deep state attacks on his presidency and his America-first policies. Why? Because President Donald Trump is the singular force standing between American freedom and tyranny. Vote for freedom. Vote for Trump!
