I Know Who the “Senior Official” Is Who Wrote the NY Times Op-Ed

Paul Craig Roberts
I know who wrote the anonymous “senior Trump official” op-ed in the New York Times. The New York Times wrote it.
The op-ed (https://www.informationclearinghouse.info/50194.htm) is an obvious forgery. As a former senior official in a presidential administration, I can state with certainty that no senior official would express disagreement anonymously. Anonymous dissent has no credibility. Moreover, the dishonor of it undermines the character of the writer. A real dissenter would use his reputation and the status of his high position to lend weight to his dissent.
The New York Times’ claim to have vetted the writer also lacks credibility, as the New York Times has consistently printed extreme accusations against Trump and against Vladimir Putin without supplying a bit of evidence. The New York Times has consistently misrepresented unsubstantiated allegations as proven fact. There is no reason whatsoever to believe the New York Times about anything.
Consider also whether a member of a conspiracy working “diligently” inside the administration with “many of the senior officials” to “preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting” Trump’s “worst inclinations” would thwart his and his fellow co-conspirators’ plot by revealing it!
This forgery is an attempt to break up the Trump administration by creating suspicion throughout the senior level. If Trump falls for the New York Times’ deception, a house cleaning is likely to take place wherever suspicion falls. A government full of mutual suspicion cannot function.
The fake op-ed serves to validate from within the Trump administration the false reporting by the New York Times that serves the interests of the military/security complex to hold on to enemies with whom Trump prefers to make peace. For example, the alleged “senior official” misrepresents, as does the New York Times, President Trump’s efforts to reduce dangerous tensions with North Korea and Russia as President Trump’s “preference for autocrats and dictators, such as President Vladimir Putin of Russia and North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un” over America’s “allied, like-minded nations.” This is the same non-sequitur that the New York Times has expressed endlessly. Why is resolving dangerous tensions a “preference for dictators” and not a preference for peace? The New York Times has never explained, and neither does the “senior official.”

This was my initial feeling as well.
I think it is a fabricated Op-Ed

I have been saying since this op ed broke that no one should simply accept it as valid or authentic. Given the media outlet, there is every valid reason to be suspicious of the op eds authenticity.

Proof?
Not really.
Another opinion, just hopeful propaganda, trotting out an old Reagan man.

i agree that anonymous op ed sucks. they should sign it and own it. however the reaction from the WH tells you they believe it. Has Trump referred to this as fake news yet?

Donny took a bite but even by the Rally the other night he was not overly concerned.

That President Trump lends any credence to the letter at all is a testament to how much hell the left and right have put this man through. He really is standing in a pit of vipers and it says more about the moral bankruptcy of the average DC bottom dweller than it does Trump.
The way this man and his family has been treated is an embarrassment and will be for many years. I already despised the left and most of the right but this whole episode has caused me to hate on levels that I didn't think possible.
