Putin Congratulates Trump, Says Russia Is Ready To Restore Relations With The US (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-09/putin-congratulates-trump-says-russia-ready-restore-relations-us)
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/pictures/picture-5.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden)by Tyler Durden (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden) Nov 9, 2016 8:02 AM
Perhaps the most beneficial outcome resulting from last night's loss of the Clinton Clan's loss, whose "charitable" donations to the Clinton Foundation from generous donors such as Saudi Arabia just ended, is that with Hillary not in charge, the probability of World War III has been taken off the table. This was confirmed early this morning, When Russian President Vladimir Putin - whose relations with the US and Barack Obama have deteriorated to Cold War levels - congratulated Donald Trump for his election victory on Wednesday, and said he expected relations between the Kremlin and Washington to improve.
The Kremlin announced that Putin had sent a telegram to Trump on Wednesday morning expressing “his hope they can work together toward the end of the crisis in Russian-American relations, as well address the pressing issues of the international agenda and the search for effective responses to global security challenges.”

Additionally, speaking at the presentation ceremony of foreign ambassadors' letters of credentials in Moscow, President Putin said that Russia is ready and looks forward to restoring bilateral relations with the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, commenting on the news of Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
“We heard Trump's campaign rhetoric while still a candidate for the US presidency, which was focused on restoring the relations between Russia and the United States.”
He added that “we understand and are aware that it will be a difficult path in the light of the degradation in which, unfortunately, the relationship between Russia and the US are at the moment."
Speaking about the degraded state of relations between the countries, the Russian president once again stressed that “it is not our fault that Russia-US relations are as you see them.”
Other Russian politicians joined in.
Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has also expressed hope that Trump’s victory in the presidential election will help pave the way for a more constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
“The current US-Russian relations cannot be called friendly. Hopefully, with the new US president a more constructive dialogue will be possible between our countries,” he said. “The Russian Parliament will welcome and support any steps in this direction,” Volodin added on Wednesday.
Commenting on Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia will judge the new US administration by its actions and take appropriate steps in response. “We are ready to work with any US leader elected by the US people,” the minister said on Wednesday.
“I can’t say that all the previous US leaders were always predictable. This is life, this is politics. I have heard many words but we will judge by actions.”
Sergey Zheleznyak, member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party in parliament, hailed Trump’s “deserved victory” in a statement on the party’s website.
“Despite all the intrigues and provocations that the current U.S. government put in front of Trump, people supported his intention to address the serious problems that have accumulated in America, and to move from confrontation to cooperation with Russia and the world,” Zheleznyak said. “I hope that between now and [his] entry into office as the new president of the United States there will be no tragic events and the new U.S. administration will have enough political will and wisdom for civilized solutions to existing problems."
Russia’s second biggest party the Communist Party also issued a statement Wednesday morning, expressing hope for more cooperation and calling Trump’s win “astounding” and against the “elite clans” in the United States. The party leader was more lukewarm on the news, noting that U.S. imperialism was unlikely to change.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the right-wing nationalist leader of the Liberal Democratic Party who has previously been nicknamed the Russian Donald Trump, called Clinton a “mindless old woman” and praised U.S. voters for “coming to their senses” after eight years of President Barack Obama, whom he referred to as “the Afro-American.”

As I stated a while back about the man trump, he's a business man, father, grandfather, proud husband, and a proud American. He's done many charitable things under the radar and many outrageous things in public. But all of us grow and evolve, all of us have regrets in our lives, some more than others and as John F. Kennedy said" an error doesn't become a mistake unless you fail to correct it". As I did with president Obama who I didn't vote for - I left a window of optimism when he took office ,but because of his lack of governing skills and experience as a person and never really working in the private sector, all he did was surround himself with people who have fed off the same food bucket all their lives -the government! They don't know what it is to really work for a living , but only to spend everyone else s money instead by taxing us to the heavens. What skills huh!
So now we have an American who beat 18 candidates in the primary, took on the entire controlled media and the polls that you could wipe your behind with, took on the 65 newscasters who privately attended a party with ms. Clinton, Took on the corrupt debate moderators, and paid with a good portion of his race with his own money. The man doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and is one hard driver for success. They say if you want to be successful, surround yourself with successful people and it will eventually rub off on you. I'd say this America, These United States of America and all its citizens are off to one hell of a successful start being surround by our new president. God Bless this Man and our new president elect- Donald Trump
All I can say is no more bushes, no more clintons and yes lets make america great again, all of america and its people.

Vladimir Putin congratulates Donald Trump - BBC News

Published on 9 Nov 2016
Speaking in the Kremlin, President Putin congratulated Mr Trump, recalling his
wish to improve US-Russia relations. He said there was a hard road ahead,
considering the state of degradation they were at now. But he said good
relations would serve the interests of global security as well as the Russian
and American nations.

Whilst I certainly am glad that Mrs. Clinton didn't win the election, I'm not too sure if I share everyone's optimism about Trump being the new president, nor the notion that the probability of a WW3 is now certainly off the table.
Just as many others I'm a firm believer of the saying "if voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it." and so I am of the opinion - just as with the (for me, at least) unexpected Brexit - that this was a conscious decision made by the establishment because, apparently, it's in their best interest.
And while I was contemplating what the reason for this could be, I got the idea that perhaps the American shadow government has just given itself the perfect excuse to now really start "effing" things up in the coming year(s). Possibly even on a WW3 scale.
Because, when you think about it, who is actually expecting Trump to be a good president and steer America back in the right direction? I'd say very few. Especially amongst the majority of the (global) general populace, Trump is seen as an idiot.
So wouldn't (s)electing Trump as president be the perfect excuse to now head into a horrific direction as a country, simply because a great deal of not only the American people, but also the rest of the world, wouldn't expect anything else from a country with someone like him as president? Making him the perfect scapegoat.
Because if we, hypothetically speaking, had had Clinton as president, people all around the world would've expected global politics to continue in a similar manner as before and so a cataclysmic event (just speculating here) would've been way more unacceptable and unexpected. Whereas right now, I think a lot of people are expecting rash and reckless actions from Trump and are therefore now more accepting of something like that happening and wouldn't hesitate to blame it all on this one man.
In short: I feel that with Trump as a puppet, the establishment has enabled itself to get away with more heinous and erroneous acts as compared to having to work through someone like Clinton who is generally more respected and well-regarded by the general population.
I don't know, perhaps I'm just being too pessimistic here. I certainly hope I am. I just can't help but feel that, even if we didn't get the ostensible worst candidate of the two, there's still something fishy behind this election. And I certainly don't feel relieved or hopeful for the future with Trump at the "head" of a global superpower like the United States.

Well... beware of MSM propaganda:
Someone posted a video in this thread (sorry I don't have time to go through 50 pages) entitled something like 'the real donald trump' which had a collection of clips from him, a large portion frm when he was a lot younger, which showed him to be a very intelligent, calculated man with good ideas about the country and how things should be. It showed a very different, refreshing side of him to the mainstream media propaganda against him.
Does anyone have the link to that video please?

This is a report just for the interesting record. I know someone here (an educated, high-quality, 40-someting years old Ecuadorian man) who lived in the States for a decade a little while back, and worked for Trump.
Trump wasn't his direct boss (there were a couple of levels of management in between), but Trump knew his name, his personal circumstances, spoke to him personally quite often, and was always straight, clear, and courteous. He personally praised good work, and insisted on high standards from everyone around, including himself. My friend said he was by far the best boss he ever had.

I was too afraid to hope, having been disaffected of this world long ago. The lesser of two evils for sure. But at least it is not the evil princess of the evil cabal. That should throw a giant wrench into their future affairs. Hillary would most definitely have been "business as usual". With Trump - who knows!
I truly hope they bring Hillary to justice and jail her or even kill her for her treasonous actions.
And I hope Trump follows through with his main promises: Prosecute Hillary, deport illegal immigrants, build that crazy wall, revoke obamacare, and renew ties with Rusia and other nations, bring home America's soldiers. Each of those promises would, if implemented, go a long way to giving the people room to breath again and restore law and order once again.
Long live the people of the United States! Down with the ruing elite and the secretive and evil cabal.

.
Well, if an Idiot can be come a billionaire I guess the American dream is more real than I thought!
I'd say the majority of the global populace should maybe do some self analysis, there are few people one could describe as "idiot" that make it to CEO of a multi-million dollar company, hell there are very few people who make a business succeed at all. Thinking that Trump is below average intelligence and yet still a billionaire at the same time is a level of cognitive dissonance I cannot understand.
I suppose the lack of experience in business would account for this, and the majority of the population lacks this experience; I happen to be a small (so far successful) business owner and even at my level the intricacies prohibit idiocy.
Do your own research on this one, I think you'll find trump more palatable than you've been told he is.
bring home America's soldiers.
The US maintains more than 800 bases OUTSIDE the US (https://www.thenation.com/article/the-united-states-probably-has-more-foreign-military-bases-than-any-other-people-nation-or-empire-in-history/)... recalling that in it's entirety (and cutting the military budget to a quarter of what it is.. currently it's 610 billion) would instantly turn this country around... and probably put me out of a job.. oh well.

From another thread, and regarding 'work that remains to be done':
And now the zaniness begins.
It looks like the house, senate, and presidency.
That's a unilateral power base.
Someone explain this to me please, I barely understand the House of Lords thing here in the UK. It sounds something like a full house in poker, does it mean they can actually accomplish things now?
It means, within the confines of how the US government has worked in the past, up until now.....where they propose bills, accept bills, debate bills, and approve bills...that the parties vote and act as an ordered block.
When one group has achieved control, as a majority, in all areas of potential shared power that are relevant to a motion of idea into enacted law (actual decision makers and checks and balances), then the power of the president and associated elected persons...they can, in effect, as a block/group.... literally, through this convoluted system....issue laws and actions like diktats and papal bulls.
Only the US supreme court can break such issuance, but only in a legal challenge to a law, or act, and all that can be done is the issuance/law/act - is struck down by the supreme court.
If the group can hold...it is very close to unbridled power, within that collective.
The group that just lost the public face of power in the USA, has a history of killing when they don't get their way, so this means the threat level is not lower today.
Seething in the backdrop... is a thing..... that makes the threat level higher than yesterday.

... and since the Supreme Court is currently deadlocked at 4 to 4 on many issues, with an opening that will be almost immediately filled by the incoming Republican President Trump, with the almost certain consent of the Republican Senate, that too, the Supreme Court, will join the ruling block.

I admit that you certainly have a good point there, TargeT. Thank you. Perhaps I should've used 'incompetent politician' instead.
Though it's unmistakably true (the way I see it, anyway) that for the past several years the media certainly hasn't portrayed him as a bright, brilliant and intelligent man. Rather the opposite in most cases. And since the vast majority of people don't do research, they have only the information the media feeds them to go by.
So, as a result, I get the impression that many (unfortunately) don't see the man as you just described him. And, admittedly, neither did I, so thank you for showing me that side of the coin :) You have relieved me of my despair, albeit just a bit.

This is not a victory for the supporters of Trump; this is not a defeat for the supporters of Hillary.
This is a continuing drama being guided by the elite at the pinnacle of power on this planet, which at this point is throwing the Bush/Clinton/Neocon crime syndicate, the American Imperial Century, and the US Petro-Narco-Dollar world reserve currency into the trashbin of history.
The next major public act of this drama, which I expect to begin within weeks, will be the collapse of the American centered financial, banking, and monetary system, leading into a bankruptcy to be overseen by Donald Trump. His previous experience at the head of a major bankruptcy will serve him well.
The American "people" have not won ... they are being guided by this ongoing drama to accept, even welcome, America's new role, as a resource rich third world colony and former great empire, participating on a relatively level playing field with other major nations in a new world order. It will be a multi-polar world, overseen by "NGO's" (non-governmental organizations) such as the United Nations, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It will be a multi-polar "new world order" with German, or Russian, or Chinese, or American, or French, or Indian, or ... "flavorings".
National (or regional, if the EuroDollar survives, which I suspect it won't) currencies will be "backed by" an international banking created world reserve asset, with historical roots in the current IMF's SDRs. By "backing" I mean that major international trade, contracts and debt will be denominated in these international banking created world reserve assets. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) will be demoted (as will other major US institutions). The Fed will become just another national central bank, issuing (lending into existence) some national currency, while borrowing from the BIS in international reserve denominated assets, when running an account or trade deficit.
The beloved (by the top elite) debt-money system, which has controlled human civilization for eons, will continue, in another variant, with SDR-like money lent into existence to nations by the global banking system, and with national currencies lent into existence to individuals, businesses, local governments and other smaller institutions by the banks operating under the aegis of their national banks.
"Socialism" is but a variant of this debt-money system, in which the willing participation is obtained from the bottom 50% of the population, who are too poor to borrow much themselves, by granting them income streams from money borrowed by their more "credit worthy" national governments.
For the last half century, the Fed has had a major, global, but covert, role as the dominant lender of what has been the world's reserve currency. They have been, along with the BIS and IMF, a central part of the global banking structure. They have for example lent many trillions of US Dollars to major US and European banks during the last eight years.
That role for the Fed (hidden on the label of "the Fed's independence" from Washington) is coming to an end. "Independence" from Washington really meant, "called to a higher, more global, cause". The IMF and BIS and such institutions will openly pick up that global "banker's bank" role, while the Fed will return to being just another national lending central bank, working closely with its national Treasury.
But that (such role changes for the Fed, and the rebuilding of America as just another nation, with a history of once having been an empire, and with vast resources) will take a while.
First we will see the once great American Empire, and the Bush/Clinton/Neocon crime syndicate, deconstructed, and first Americans will have to endure a major economic and monetary collapse (which will be felt across the planet, given America's grand overreach.)
The Petro-Narco-Dollar world reserve currency is (will soon be) dead!
Long live the US Treasury national dollar and the SDR-based world reserve currencies!

Are you saying that there might be huge terrorist attack for example (higher threat level), or a start of a war somewhere effecting USA land itself, (no problems with killing) which would have Obama declare a state of emergency and eventually a war state (military control of the country) therefore having him remain on the throne for much longer? And Trump would pass as a president? Is that ever possible in the USA to do this once someone is elected (genuine question from a foreigner which is me)?
If so, we have to do as we did, take the internet to avoid ANY kind of war.

Personally, I think that the risk of such killings or attacks is lowered, except as part of the Sturm und Drang (turmoil; ferment), like a kettle drum sound effect in a movie, increasing the dramatic tension, building up to the next major dramatic climax, a major economic and monetary collapse.
Major, 9/11 sized, terrorist or false flag events can only happen if the elite at the pinnacle of power on the planet want them to happen. The public facing gangsters, such as the Bush's and the Clinton's, are powerless to effect what their controllers do not want them to effect.

Though it's unmistakably true (the way I see it, anyway) that for the past several years the media certainly hasn't portrayed him as a bright, brilliant and intelligent man. Rather the opposite in most cases. And since the vast majority of people don't do research, they have only the information the media feeds them to go by.

Unfortunately the main source of the majority of peoples knowledge on topics like this comes from "a tainted well".
Our media is controlled by 5 or 6 companies (http://www.morriscreative.com/6-corporations-control-90-of-the-media-in-america/) (less now maybe?) And they have over the years developed clear and obvious biases; this election cycle was exceptional in the display of bias by these few companies.
This is the main voice heard out side of the US (I am assuming your out side) and even the most popular counter voices (I'd say ZeroHedge & Drudgerport.com are at the top for that currently) are still relatively unknown. It's hard to even desire to seek other information when you are presented it in the manor that modern media deploys.
We in the US are just starting to question the media (or maybe, HEAVILY questioning as we can see from this Trump voting turn out) I don't know if the rest of the world takes what our media says as truth or questions it... but I assume they take it as truth.
This election cycle has shown it's it's best to question what our media says, or just quit listening (that's what I did).
That, at least, is a positive out come from this whole fiasco.
The American "people" have not won ... they are being guided by this ongoing drama to accept, even welcome, America's new role, as a resource rich third world colony and former great empire, participating on a relatively level playing field with other major nations in a new world order. It will be a multi-polar world, overseen by "NGO's" (non-governmental organizations) such as the United Nations, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It will be a multi-polar "new world order" with German, or Russian, or Chinese, or American, or French, or Indian, or ... "flavorings".
I see less doom and gloom, we have too much kinetic economic energy, I think we will go the way of England, we won't be third world, we'll still be "up there" just not the top dog anymore... maybe not even close to the top dog.
But LA isn't going to turn into Rowanda.
Silicone valley won't disappear over night.
Yes, we will have to struggle a bit more for what used to come easily to us, but it we won't be eating dirt pies or anything.

Several world leaders who previously criticized Trump are now congratulating him. © Andrew Kelly / Reuters
Leaders around the world who previously spoke out against Donald Trump now face the unenviable task of swallowing their pride and issuing grudging congratulations to the president-elect to ensure continuing good relations with the US.
"I consider Donald Trump a man who invests a lot in a policy of fear," Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said (http://edition.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/04/22/exp-gps-renzi-clip-prez.cnn) back in April. Today Renzi, who openly supported Hillary Clinton, congratulated Trump on his victory. Speaking in Rome he said "I wish him well. The Italo-American friendship is solid," according to Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-italy-renzi-idUSKBN1341ID).
Argentina’s Foreign Minister Susana Malcorra commented only days ago that Trump represented a "more closed, isolationist and xenophobic" model in his agenda.
These tough remarks were all but forgotten today when she congratulated Trump in a tweet reading, "Congratulations Donald Trump on being elected as the new president of the United States. The north American people have spoken at the polls. Congratulations to democracy and its institutions.”
In a possible last jab at Trump, Malcorra added another tweet congratulating Clinton, describing her as a “capable woman not being chosen to fulfill such an important responsibility.”
Ireland’s premier, Enda Kenny, may have some explaining to do when he makes his annual St Patrick’s Day visit to the White House next year. In June, when Trump was due to visit Ireland, Kenny claimed he would be “very happy” to meet the presidential candidates to outline why his views are considered racist.
Following Trump’s victory Kenny sent his congratulations to Trump. "I look forward to working with the new administration in the time ahead in the cause of international peace and security.” he said.
Ireland is a haven for major US companies including Google and Apple who avail of its low corporate tax rate. Kenny is sure to push to maintain this relationship, even managing to mention Vice-President-elect Mike Pence’s Irish heritage in his statement to Trump, describing him as “a proud Irish-American who spent many summers in Ireland as a child".
German leader Angela Merkel may not have publically expressed her thoughts on Trump, but given that he accused her of “ruining Germany” we can only imagine how hard it was for her to pen today’s congratulatory words.
“I offer the future president of the United States, Donald Trump, close cooperation.” she said in a statement.
French President François Hollande has shown disgust for Trump before. Earlier this year he said his “excesses end up making you feel like you want to retch,” in the wake of Trump’s comments about the family of Hamayun Khan, a decorated Muslim-American soldier who died in the line of duty. Today Hollande warned that his victory “now opens a period of uncertainty.”
The French ambassador to the US, Gerard Araud, reacted more strongly to news of Trump's electoral victory by tweeting (http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/en-direct/a-chaud/29815-presidentielleus-desormais-possible-monde-effondre-devant-r.html) that "a world is collapsing before our eyes". The post was later deleted.
Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto tweeted congratulations to the US on it’s decision, adding “Hope that Mexico and United States continue to tighten its ties of cooperation and mutual respect.”

I see less doom and gloom, we have too much kinetic economic energy, I think we will go the way of England, we won't be third world, we'll still be "up there" just not the top dog anymore... maybe not even close to the top dog.
But LA isn't going to turn into Rowanda.
Silicone valley won't disappear over night.
Yes, we will have to struggle a bit more for what used to come easily to us, but it we won't be eating dirt pies or anything.
True - after a while. My "third world" phrase was over stating the case, though for what remains of the American middle class, it might not feel like much of an over statement.
Presently the US has a half-trillion dollar a year trade deficit, importing real goods, but paying for them with money the US "prints" (lends into existence, even though the US is no longer credit-worthy.)
Presently the US has made outstanding promises to pay on the order of a hundred trillion dollars of pensions, benefits, and debt service, even though the US lacks the legitimate income stream to make those payments.
In recent years, the US's major income streams have been
stolen gold from military invasions,
stolen oil profits from Saudi earnings "invested" in Treasury debt they will never see again,
the exceptional privilege of being the primary issuers of the currency needed to repay the lion's share of world debt,
arms and military sales, and
profits from being the world's top Drug Lord.
The US no longer has any legitimate business that earn's honest money in the world's markets, that is in any way proportional to what the US spends in the world's markets.
First the US will be "privatized" (their land, resources, businesses, infrastructure, ...) sold off to corporate agents of the top dogs of the next new world order. This is the usual way in which nations are "repossessed" when they fail financially, as happens in debt-money systems.
The US will have build up, or rebuild, American manufacturing and agriculture and mining. The US will have to reduce their dependency on imports, so that they can once again export in value equal to what they import. It will be a long and difficult road to travel.

In my wild dreams Trump nationalities the fed, forgives the debt owed to ourselves & continues to collect the debt owed to it by other countries. This one action basically makes the US solvent again.
I never thought he'd get elected, so who knows?
Baring that:
The us is resource rich beyond the average citizens common understanding... if we start to exploit that first, then manufacturing can be coaxed back... if the right person is at at the steering wheel we can turn this sideways and avoid a head on collision.
Is Trump the right guy? I don't think so, but again, I didn't think he'd get elected either.

Americans will also learn, the hard way, what "austerity" feels like.
When financially failed nations are "repossessed", their national social and infrastructure budgets are cut way back, and whatever they can still manufacture, mine or grow is largely exported.
Medical benefits will be trimmed back (as part of repealing Obamacare). Social security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits will be trimmed back. Food stamps (used by almost half the nation now to pay for food) will be trimmed back.
The nation's resources will be focused on repaying debt ... the holder's of a nation's senior debt have standing over the citizens of that nation in the "court of interntional banking law."
"Austerity" is a bitch, and more than a few people elsewhere in the world will be unable to hide their glee at seeing Americans finally get their comeuppance.

Indeed ... though the average US citizen does not, and will not, have claim to most of that wealth.

He's cagey and layers and games his commentary. He's well aware of the projection and interpretation of every word that comes out of his mouth. That much is obvious. His fortune is built out of this sort of knowledge and capacity. When I look at him speak, I see a layered game which he has purposely held fluid and Janus faced for the purpose of controlling those to seek to manipulate his position - from their possessing a state of certainty about his.
This is business at the bargaining table ....where a single misplaced look can change everything.

One should be able to then successfully document and track what is going on by 'knowing' the man's spirit.

An economics graduate student whom I shared a taxi with once, said that the American economy can produce more wealth from one investment dollar than anywhere else in the world, by a considerable margin. If given half a chance the US will rebound quickly and strongly to its current dilemma. The middle and lower classes have not been allowed to properly retool from the impact of these unfair trade deals, as per K. Austin-Fitts. The Americans faced a similar crisis in the 80's witht he 87 crash, in the 90's with trade deficits and the 2000's with 911 and the 08 financial crisis.
I dont know whether trump will be a good president, but if he keeps his word on re-drawing the trade scene to give american small business a more competitive footing, and closes most of the foreign military bases, the US economy could recover enough to avoid insolvency. If he really wants to solve the financial crisis he'll have to disband the fed. Also, they would have to stop any major terrorist attacks (which only thrive with inside help) and not foment any overseas conflicts. Then, if he's a really perceptive president he'll begin repealing most of the blackops classified protocols to reveal hi tech that would really jump start the economy.
i wouldnt expect the most optimistic scenarios to emerge, but then i didnt expect trump to win either. Just dont underestimate the americans' ability to recover if given the opportunity. They have successfully done it before.

Target, I am like you and didn't really think Trump would get elected. At first I thought he must have cut a deal with the Clintons to go up as a patsy and secure her win. Then after it became clear he was serious and after I saw the YouTube video by "Patrick Henry" with a compilation of Trump's serious ideas since the early eighties, I came to believe that in some ways he really does see the need for radical change. I didn't vote for many reasons. I have withdrawn from civic discourse for so long and haven't even been to this forum for three years. I am surprisingly encouraged by the results in that the Clintons lost and some people are being forced to reexamine reality. It remains to be seen how it will pan out. I am sure the shadow government didn't want this result.

Most of the outside world's media predicted a Killary win. This shows how vast and deep the PTB propaganda machine works. One thing that you can be sure of is that ANY news agency that you get your information from which predicted a Killary win is NOT to be trusted since their source of information is fed to them by PTB. (How much of our views and conclusions are dictated by the media without us realizing it)

The enemy of your enemy is not automatically your friend.
Especially when jumping to the polar opposite extreme of whatever's the trouble.
You oppose extrajudicial assassinations via drone strikes, you oppose torture under Bush and Obama, you oppose the pointless wars, you say you want to preserve the world for future generations, you proclaim a love of truth.
Then you turn around and cheer for the guy who wants to instate the most painful torture methods possible, who wants to increase the size of already the largest military in the world, who uses self-created factions like ISIL to sow fear and provide justification for more bloodshed, who gives two ****s about cultivating the environment that sustains us, who will have in his cabinet some of the same people you claimed to despise, who makes up on the spot anything that will please the fantasies of his followers, who encourages bullying and violence.
You salivate over any Clinton dirt, but look the other way when similar connections are made to Trump. After all, they've been in many of the same circles together. But if it's the one you agree with, it must just be the baddies trying to tarnish your shining star. Not worth any investigation. You don't care about any lies and inconsistencies that make you feel good.
So much talk about narcissists and sociopaths, yet you don't recognize them when they pander to you.
I didn't want Clinton either, but at least there were sane voices within the party, activists and leaders who were more than willing to oppose and hamstring any dangerous actions from her every step of the way. As far as I can see, Trump's supporters just want an unquestionable mob boss for president.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Clinton would have had worse consequences. It's still dismaying to see the hypocrisy in the zeal for either one of them.

Even the media thought they had this in the bag while hte bulk of america's more rational people quietly supported trump.

I for one, was beyond happy to look forward to change in our country. A friend of mine, 78 yrs young, metaphysical, sent me a long article about a numerologist who lives in my area, quite renowned. He predicted a Trump win way back when everyone mocked him about his findings. I recently read the article and was encouraged and amazed. It is pretty advanced so I will spare you all. I took advanced classes long ago but this is more advanced that I was accustomed to.

Trump IS the deep state favorite or the favorite of many within the deep state. He wouldn't have won otherwise. He would have been ignored by mainstream media, like Ron Paul and Ralph Nadar were before him. His role, unbeknownst to him, was to provide a lightening rod for discontent and the feeling among the majority of Americans that their values, fears, angers have been vindicated.
I hope it turns out to be more than a feeling, but it looks like a dog and pony show that may change the actors and locus of control behind the scenes. At the same time, it may further constrain the freedom of Americans. Vulnerable foreigners being bombed to smithereens might feel safer though. Weird. We'll see. He talks about rebuilding the military. Hopefully this means more soldiers employed in Army corp of engineer type projects, at home, and less spent on expensive tech, missiles.
Don't discount the idea that some of the infrastructure he describes might be Fema style debtors prisons where vast numbers of people work off their student loans. OH....he will create jobs, in that case!!
Nevertheless, it would be nice to see more dirt on the Clintons and have them criminally prosecuted.

"They asked me the question, what do you think of waterboarding? Absolutely fine, but we should go much stronger than waterboarding".
"Waterboarding is fine, but it's not nearly tough enough, OK?"
It's not acceptable.
We largely create the situations which are used as justifications for it.
Stop playing sides against each other.
Stop killing innocent people and galvanizing their families against us.
Stop selling arms.
Stop plundering other countries.
Something that seems self-evident to me is that we aren't going to make it out of this as a species unless the people of every major country mutually decide, simultaneously, to stop playing the spy games, the war games, the exploitation, the vicious competition. I don't know if that's even possible... but I don't see any other possibility worth appealing to.
I doubt anyone knows whats really coming at this point, and that is why I am satisfied with this election, I'd rather have the unknown than the known at this point.
This touches on the point that concerns me the most with the Trump phenomenon. People seem to be unconsciously wishing for collapse as a means of clearing the slate. It wouldn't work as long as people can't see how much the problems and dissatisfaction are stemming from their own backyards. It would be just a whole lot of unnecessary death and suffering for the most vulnerable populations followed by more domination and control. Most everyone shares responsibility for the way things are right now. And yet I wonder if the same people who complain about depopulation agendas and such are at the same time exhilarated by the prospect of something that could result in that much destruction. Something extreme to distract from personal hells... or maybe just boredom. I know that feeling. It's toxic and I know it isn't telling me the truth.
The swamp people want to drain is inside themselves and no amount of shuffling the cards is going to fix that.
Opportunities come occasionally for us to make a more peaceful transition. We don't take them.

John Pilger's view is my view, spot on IMO.
Most of humanity regards that kind of behaviour from the allegedly most powerful country in the world is abhorrent and she has been the embodiment of that. Now, whether Trump will be is an open question. He says he’s anti-establishment but, of course, he’ll come with his own establishment. He’s anti their establishment, I don’t believe for a moment he’s anti the wider establishment of the United States, in fact he’s a product of it.

excerpt:
But in his victory speech in the early hours of Wednesday, he emphasized spending on rebuilding American infrastructure. That type of big spending means more debt, and has the potential to fuel inflation. The bond market was reflecting that Wednesday.
"Frankly, you don't know what he's going to do. He's an unpredictable character, and politicians say a lot of things in elections that never come to fruition. The tone of his campaign initially was very negative with his focus on immigration and trade, and became more positive with the focus on infrastructure and tax cuts," said Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies. "Trump is coming in defining his legacy. He literally wants to build it."
Trump also wants to boost defense spending, and stocks like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics all surged more than 4 percent.
"When you look at Trump's fiscal package — he's Reagan plus infrastructure spending. He's basically faster growth, bigger budget deficits and this probably will give us inflation," said McCarthy. President Ronald Reagan boosted U.S. military spending dramatically before the end of the Cold War.

Putin dancing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFGmnqEiG3I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFGmnqEiG3I
My dear extended family,
Putin is dancing the Russian dance of Joy. He has experienced many invitations to a proxy war over the last six months in Europe, which he has refused to pick up.
Now there are two men of mutual respect who could in fact bond together in order to oppose the darkness that has been hovering over the world for years.
Can you imagine the power of the United States and Russia combined to stop the madness in the Middle East?
Now there is the possibility that deals can be made that are win-win instead of mutual destruction. Forget the past and the bad actors it benefited. Do not seek revenge, not matter how inviting.
Let the rule of law and the Constitution be reinstated. We have a chance now that the world has previously never had. Don’t blow this candle of opportunity out. Rather, wish good fortune to the two most powerful men in the world to put the pieces back together again.
That is why Putin is celebrating because war, so possible yesterday, is now off the playing board.
May a true detente turn into a working relationship, and maybe even a friendship? Both Kings are doing the dance of joy as the Nobel Peace Prize is in their mutual hands if they can see it. Both know that an opportunity exists to make things right.
It can stand on a new monetary system in which gold is not a currency but rather a storehouse of value. In fact it will, as the purchase of gold by China and Russia has always been a policy, not an economically motivated action.
Respectfully,
Jim

Erdogan calls Trump to discuss plans for combating terrorism (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-turkey-erdogan-idUSKBN1343I8)

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called U.S. President-elect Donald Trump by phone on Wednesday and discussed improving relations and cooperating in fighting terrorism, sources in Ankara said. A NATO member which borders Syria, Iraq and Iran, Turkey is a powerful player in the region but Erdogan's relations with U.S. President Barack Obama, as well as with Western Europe, have at times been strained.
Turkey has been frustrated by what it sees as Washington's reluctance to hand over Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom it accuses of masterminding an abortive putsch four months ago. He has lived in exile in Pennsylvania since 1999.
In what the Turkish presidential sources described as a "sincere" conversation, Erdogan congratulated Trump on his unexpected election win and said Turkey and the United States were allies brought together by mutual respect, common interests and values.
Earlier on Wednesday, Erdogan said he hoped Trump's victory would lead to "beneficial steps" for the Middle East and for basic rights and freedoms.

FWIW, Donald Trump's win is great (even if it is scripted) for most human beings on planet Earth who don't want another war. Humans, as master creators, are awakening fast and I think he would be wise not to incur the wrath of the population any more than what has been done.
He will have a full plate and would have to hit the ground running. Perhaps the best case scenario (in the next 4 years) would be a soft landing for the economy rather than a crash, reaching an understanding with the Russians and Chinese with regards to geopolitics and BRICS, and top of my list - disclosure.

Anti-Trump protesters march through the streets of New York shouting 'Not my president'.
MoveOn.org is a George Soros NGO...and George Soros NGOs have nothing to do with charity or justice, and everything to do with political leverage, and in extreme cases government insurrection.
We have seen Soros begin destructive movements to remove those he deems unsuitable to govern in a variety of countries, most recently in Ukraine, with the Soros sponsored Maidan coup.
Now it looks like Soros may be setting his sights on sabotaging the forthcoming Trump presidency.
We do know, thanks to Wikileaks, that George Soros was a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton, as Hillary Clinton was always looking out of George Soros' best interests. (http://theduran.com/george-soros-mentioned-56-times-11-batches-wikileaks-hillary-clinton-john-podesta-emails/)
We are certain Trump's victory is a bitter pill for globalist Soros to swallow. Between Putin and Trump, Soros may finally be starting to feel his power on the world stage falter.
We will see if MoveOn.org's call to protest has legs, or if it will gradually fizzle and fade, in much the same way we can only hope Soros will eventually do.

Soros has got over 2 months to get a head start on Trump. That's a lethal advantage.
Americans MUST step in with a popular ( crowd funded ) legal onslaught against any media entity and all media entities that incite or support what Soros's dirty brigades are staging for their cameras. Don't wait for Trump to do it, that will be too late. Even December will be too late. They need to be stopped in their tracks by a real and significant threat of massive fines and jail, for incitement.
It's no good going after the rioters/protestors. That just makes it a bigger fight in front of the cameras. Make the MSM tremble in their boots at the thought that they themselves might go to jail.
And, Infowars dot com needs to cool it too. They are no exception and MUST stop beating their chests about the Trump win. Well, in public, anyway.

Canada keen to come to NAFTA table as Trump wins – ambassador

The Canadian government would reconsider the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Trump’s team, according to the ambassador to the United States, David MacNaughton.
“Obviously any trade deal can be improved, and to the degree that the president-elect of the United States wants to see improvements to NAFTA, we'd be happy to sit down and talk,” he said as quoted by CBC News Network.
The free trade agreement, signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the US, came into force in January 1994.
NAFTA as it stands has benefited all three countries, but everything can be improved, according to MacNaughton.
“There's been a fourfold increase in trade since NAFTA was signed, so I think there are many elements of NAFTA that have been tremendously successful,” he said.
The ambassador didn’t disclose any details of what Canada would want from an updated agreement. However, he stressed that it could be improved without harming the deal that led to continent wide economic prosperity.
“Certainly in terms of Canada and the United States, we have integrated supply chain in terms of our manufacturing. There's cooperation in our economies at all levels, so I don't think anybody would want to interrupt that kind of economic success,” he stressed.
Trump’s promise to upgrade NAFTA was a major point in his election campaign. He said he would scrap the deal if the partners didn’t agree to renegotiate it.
“I’m going tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal for our workers. And I don’t mean just a little bit better – I mean a lot better,” the president-elect said.
The move could be quite complicated, according to trade observers. Pulling out of NAFTA will not automatically restore trade tariffs. The process requires congressional action that would potentially be a contentious issue.
Following the election, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Trump on his victory, saying he’s willing to work with the new presidential team. The two leaders are expected to speak soon.

There is an explanation for this that involves neither forward planning by a sinister elite nor exotic time travel. Trump has been talking about running for president at least since 1989. The Simpsons script was nothing prescient: they simply took this ball and ran with it. Presumably the cartoon pictures are based on a rational use of Trump Tower. When Trump finally launches his campaign, someone for some reason decides it would be fun/interesting or whatever to recreate the fictional scene. The red-white and blue outfit was pretty predictable anyway. Why this would be interesting might be to emphasize the forward planning on Trump’s own part, giving it all an air of inevitability.

One thing that's got me a bit apprehensive about President Trump is when I think about his intel' briefings. I'm sure he's been quite well briefed informally by Flyn but there could be a whole lot of stuff he is not expecting that really throws his plans out of joint.
One thing's sure, with Trump we'll certainly know there are huge a serious things going on if he does a complete 180 after he gets in. He's too unscripted and free talking to hide it very well.

Thanks, Bill, appreciate it. I want to note that this doesn't affect the validity of my post that follows the post you quoted. I replied to Lancet with that quote to bring it to Lancet's attention as I thought Lancet may be interested in the article I posted, not because of the Simpsons pics.
* * *
I've been thinking a lot about how this may work. Put really simply - they create the sigil with their meaning applied to it and embed it into the collective subconscious mind through all the popular culture platforms; music, MSM, TV etc. Then, when they want to manifest a certain event (which they do all the time), they do the rituals they do and use the collective consciousness to power the manifesting of it, identifiable by any event with massive coverage and emotion, like the election. The Simpsons would be an ideal platform for sigils btw, hence why there have been predictions/synchronicities in the Simpsons before.
The illuminati card game could be the plans (plan A, plan B etc. etc.) to implement the NWO. They would also behave as sigils but primarily they could act as a group of possibilities and observing each card played may offer insight into what may come and how they operate, depends on the card. Just a thought.
Chaos magic is the ideal method for this. They've been privy to all the knowledge on how creation works and the relationship between the collective consciousness and the manifesting of events. Easy with their resources to pull off. They are literally programming the collective, we know this, perhaps this fills in the picture of how.
There is an excellent introduction to Chaos magic, it's a book called Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine. There were only 300 copies published in 1992 but there is a free PDF of the online version titled, Oven-ready Chaos. If anyone is interested in what I'm on about, here's (http://www.philhine.org.uk/writings/pdfs/orchaos.pdf) a link to the PDF, an easy and quick read, only 68 pages.
If there's any truth to what I've written then it's possible to gain insights into what's coming by spotting the sigils in the MSM etc. There's a catch to keeping an eye out for sigils though, the more you focus on them the more you power them. You'd need to know what meaning it has to know what's being manifested but to identify the sigils all you'd need to do is note trends, whatever theme keeps popping up and then look for the possible meaning behind it, like the frog - the god of chaos. Another thought I had is to pay attention to their tools and what keeps repeating in relation to them. An example of a possible one emerging in the MSM now is "Love Trumps Hate".

I suspect they're inciting an eventual "revolution" and this phrase has a meaning behind it that's connected to that. We'll see.
All conjecture at this point but very interesting to ponder and worthy of consideration IMO.

Assad extends an olive branch to President Trump (http://theduran.com/syria-extends-donald-trump-an-olive-branch/)

The Syrian government is willing to discuss options for cooperation with a Trump-led United States, says prominent politician and adviser to President Assad.
The reverberations of Donald Trump's seismic victory were not just limited to Russia, China and Europe. They were felt in Damascus where as it is for many others, a cautious optimism surrounding the foreign policy potential of a Trump led America, has replaced years of utter pessimism and consternation with the neo-imperial policies of Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama.
Syrian politician and an adviser to the president Bouthaina Shaaban was interviewed on American radio where she said that Damascus would be willing to work with a Trump administration, should he deliver on his statements that he doesn't seek to remove the legitimate President of Syria in a misguided and illegal regime change war. In his debates with Hillary Clinton, Trump stated multiple times that he would prefer to work with Russia and by extrapolation with Syria in going after Islamic terrorism, rather than hysterically agitate for regime change.
Shaaban said that, "I think the American people have sent a great, a very important message to the world" and indeed this is the case. Whilst many say that most voters were more concerned with domestic American issues than foreign policy, during his recent interview (https://www.rt.com/usa/366404-trump-ron-paul-crosstalk/) with Peter Lavelle, Dr. Ron Paul partially challenged this received wisdom.
Dr. Paul said that when offered the clear alternative between costly war which ultimately puts American lives in danger and destroys America's credibility abroad, and a non-interventionist/cooperative and diplomatic approach to world affairs, people would generally vote for the latter. He went on to blame the mainstream media for drumming up war fever and effectively brainwashing an otherwise peace loving public into believing that aggression is virtuous.
What Dr. Paul did not mention is that new media sources have taken away much of the influence that mainstream pro-war media once had on the public. As the public become more informed, they become more anti-war.
Furthermore, I believe that Donald Trump did a far better job of selling the anti-war message than he is given credit for, even among his supporters. Whilst Hillary's line about Russia being a source of evil in the world clearly fell flat, (http://theduran.com/watch-hillary-clintons-approval-numbers-tank-in-real-time-as-she-lies-about-russian-hackers-during-debate-video/)Trump's pragmatic anti-war but also anti-Islamic terror message, resonated. Even if people state that jobs, tax, health, immigration and trade were the 'issues of the day', the unconscious effect of Trump's challenge to the pro-war establishment is more important than many seem to think it was.
Even for those who know little about foreign affairs, Dr. Paul is absolutely right in saying that most people want peace. The problem is that between the old dying mainstream media and pro-war politicians, they rarely feel that this option is a choice that's on the table. Trump has changed that.
Even before he is inaugurated, Trump ought to clutch the olive branch being cautiously offered from Syria and open channels of communication with Damascus. Both Trump and Assad are deeply pragmatic men, both are deeply patriotic and both share a hatred for Islamic terrorism. If they were to find common ground, even on a personal level, it could go a long way in opening up meaningful inter-governmental dialogue which could lead the way towards new cooperative efforts in Syria.

Donald Trump’s success or failure as the next US president will largely depend on his ability to keep his independence from the “shadow government” and elite structures that shaped the policies of previous administrations, former presidential candidate Ron Paul told RT.
Trump, 70, enters the US presidency a political virgin, whose policies will be shaped by advice offered by his political cabinet.
“Unfortunately, there has been several neoconservatives that are getting closer to Trump. And if [he] gets his advice from them, then I do not think that is a good sign,” Paul told the host of RT’s Crosstalk show Peter Lavelle.
gWrVJHtejkQ
The retired Congressman said that people voted for Trump because he stood against the deep corruption in the establishment, that was further exposed during the campaign by WikiLeaks, and because of his disapproval of meddling in the wider Middle East.
“During the campaign, he did talk a little bit about backing off and being less confrontational to Russia and I like that. He criticized some the wars in the Middle East at the same time. He believes we should accelerate the war against ISIS and terrorism,” Paul noted.
Trump’s ability to honor his campaign rhetoric will depend on the role of the so-called “shadow government,” and the president’s ideals to stick to his beliefs. “We look at the president, we look at what he said, we look at what he might do when you look at his advisors,” Paul said.
“But quite frankly there is an outside source which we refer to as the 'deep state' or the 'shadow government'. There is a lot of influence by people which are actually more powerful than our government itself, our president,” the congressman said.
“Yes, Trump is his own guy, more so than most of those who have ever been in before. We hope he can maintain an independence and go in the right direction. But I fear the fact that there is so much that can be done secretly, out of control of our apparent government and out of the view of so many citizens,” he added.
Paul said will be hard for Trump to follow through on his NATO policies. During the campaign Trump suggested that the US disengage from the alliance completely because some of its members are not living up to various financial obligations.
But overall Paul thinks Trump will defend the US position in the world.
“He does not like to get pushed around so if it looks like we’re getting pushed around in the world his reflexes will be rather quick and they are not going to be wishy-washy, and that should concern people as well,” Paul said.

As I read various "right wing" commentaries on the web about the Trump election, such as at The Daily Bell (http://www.thedailybell.com/news-analysis/trump-and-brexit-directed-history-proceeds-apace/), I realize that I am expecting something quite different in the coming few years than they are.
Several of the commentators I follow most closely are expecting Trump to be identified with a wave of nationalism and populism, which wave will get the blame for the coming economic collapse. The "solution" to this disaster will be a reinvigorated wave of globalism. Trump, the Brexiter's, the right wing French politician Marine Le Pen, Russia's Putin, and other such will be discredited and go down in the history books, along with their supporters, as reactionary losers.
That's not what I am expecting.
I am expecting a multi-polar world, politically, economically, and monetarily, with major nations cooperating with global institutions such as the United Nations and the Bank of International Settlements, under leaders who have, as with Putin, or will, as with Trump and perhaps Le Pen, gain the trust of a majority of their people. These leaders will publicly represent the various and diverse interests of their nations, at a "round table" of world leadership.
The key, always, in my view, is the method of money creation.
As I spelled out yesterday, in this post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?94311-DEA-Official-Spills-the-Beans-on-the-Clinton-Foundation--not-just-sexual-abuse-maybe-all-about-drugs-&p=1112643&viewfull=1#post1112643) that I expect few read, fewer understood, and likely no one else agreed with, I am expecting a new world monetary system, in which the senior debt is SDR denominated, and redeemable in one or another of the major national currencies in the "SDR basket" (currently the US Dollar, Pound, Euro, Yen, and Renmimbi), which have exchange rates with the SDR set by some global committee that is covertly controlled by the world's uber-elite.
Giving just that much power to the uber-elite is sufficient to ensure that they remain the uber-elite, and we and our businesses, schools, and governments remain debt-slaves.
Trump, in my view, is not being brought in to be the "goat" (the one blamed for failure), but as the one who can publicly manage the bankruptcy of the US portion of the current Petro-Narco-Dollar based world monetary system, and who can make the "deal" between the American people and the uber-elite, that leaves the uber-elite in power, while getting the American people to buy into the result.
This will be the biggest deal of Trump's career.
A key distinction between what I am expecting, and the various sites I read are expecting, might become visible to us all, fairly soon.
If the economic and monetary collapse begins, as viewed by the ordinary person, within the next few months, then it will be easy for Trump to blame the past administration for the failures, and to gain support as the leader who can fix these long standing problems. That's what I an expecting.
If however the collapse begins, as viewed by the ordinary person, some months after Trump takes office, in apparent response to his initial changes to the government and its policies, then it will be easy for the elite bastards to blame the collapse on Trump, and he is likely slotted to go down in history as a failure, in the way that US President Hoover was, before FDR became US President in 1933.

Thanks Innocent Warrior for pointing out the Pepe the frog phenomenon. We are in chaotic times and that suits perfectly, although to my mind we are the Chaos rather than the frog since it is us that perpetuates the phenomenon.
Aracuria, I am reminded of some instances where the Simpsons hinted at other false flags, such as 9-11.. so whether this Trump thingy is happenstance or otherwise is open to speculation. if we really wanted to know, all we could do is ask the creator of the Simpsons.. but I doubt they would tell us. On my part it was in the media, and it struck me so I posted it. Thats all.
I am intrigued by Wikileaks and how humans ( this is a worldwide phenomenon ) ignore the exposes when it suits them. I have had an explosion (post election) on Facebook about my friends and colleagues (in Asia and Europe) railing about Trump and how/why his victory shocked them. To them he is bigot. The second observation is their exasperation at Americans about the fact that they voted him in. They (on FB) absolutely ignored HRC's crimes, misdeeds and corruption. It probably is a testament to the role the global MSM played to a tee painting Trump in such a light and their success in downplaying HRC.

What are EXTRORDINARY national security issues, Mr Stone ?
Roger Stone was about to speak about them to Alex Jones but Alex interrupted him, as he usually does.
What do you think he was about to say?

Thanks Innocent Warrior for pointing out the Pepe the frog phenomenon. We are in chaotic times and that suits perfectly, although to my mind we are the Chaos rather than the frog since it is us that perpetuates the phenomenon.
Aracuria, I am reminded of some instances where the Simpsons hinted at other false flags, such as 9-11.. so whether this Trump thingy is happenstance or otherwise is open to speculation. if we really wanted to know, all we could do is ask the creator of the Simpsons.. but I doubt they would tell us. On my part it was in the media, and it struck me so I posted it. Thats all.
I am intrigued by Wikileaks and how humans ( this is a worldwide phenomenon ) ignore the exposes when it suits them. I have had an explosion (post election) on Facebook about my friends and colleagues (in Asia and Europe) railing about Trump and how/why his victory shocked them. To them he is bigot.

Here's (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/59194) the link to the full email Turiya posted. Opposite of what was reported by the MSM with their political experts.
More from that email -
We're told that President Clinton (like Mrs. Clinton and many other Dems) thinks the single greatest weapon against Trump is Trump's own instinct to make outrageous, divisive, even hateful comments that can come across as unpresidential. He, Mrs. Clinton, and the campaign all agree that they will need to seize on opportunities to paint Trump as extremist and recklessly impulsive.
We're told that President Clinton, like Secretary Clinton and some others, think Trump could pose a real threat in battleground states that President Obama carried in 2008 and 2012 like Virginia and Ohio and he will be competitive in Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
We're also told that the campaign intends to unleash President Clinton on social media and the campaign trail when Trump lashes out/tries to sway the news cycle.

The Clintons And Soros Launch America's Purple Revolution (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-11/clintons-and-soros-launch-americas-purple-revolution)
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/pictures/picture-5.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden)by Tyler Durden (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden) Nov 11, 2016 11:05 PM
Submitted by Wayne Madsen via Strategic-Culture.org, (http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/11/11/clintons-and-soros-launch-america-purple-revolution.html)
Defeated Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is not about to «go quietly into that good night». On the morning after her surprising and unanticipated defeat at the hands of Republican Party upstart Donald Trump, Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, entered the ball room of the art-deco New Yorker hotel in midtown Manhattan and were both adorned in purple attire. The press immediately noticed the color and asked what it represented. Clinton spokespeople claimed it was to represent the coming together of Democratic «Blue America» and Republican «Red America» into a united purple blend. This statement was a complete ruse as is known by citizens of countries targeted in the past by the vile political operations of international hedge fund tycoon George Soros.
The Clintons, who both have received millions of dollars in campaign contributions and Clinton Foundation donations from Soros, were, in fact, helping to launch Soros’s «Purple Revolution» in America. The Purple Revolution will resist all efforts by the Trump administration to push back against the globalist policies of the Clintons and soon-to-be ex-President Barack Obama. The Purple Revolution will also seek to make the Trump administration a short one through Soros-style street protests and political disruption.
It is doubtful that President Trump’s aides will advise the new president to carry out a diversionary criminal investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s private email servers and other issues related to the activities of the Clinton Foundation, especially when the nation faces so many other pressing issues, including jobs, immigration, and health care. However, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said he will continue hearings in the Republican-controlled Congress on Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, (http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/09/30/clinton-foundation-deal-opens-italy-anti-trump-front.html) and Mrs. Clinton’s aide Huma Abedin (http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/11/08/abedin-clinton-and-american-deep-state.html). President Trump should not allow himself to be distracted by these efforts. Chaffetz was not one of Trump’s most loyal supporters.
America’s globalists and interventionists are already pushing the meme that because so many establishment and entrenched national security and military «experts» opposed Trump’s candidacy, Trump is «required» to call on them to join his administration because there are not enough such «experts» among Trump’s inner circle of advisers. Discredited neo-conservatives from George W. Bush’s White House, such as Iraq war co-conspirator Stephen Hadley, are being mentioned as someone Trump should have join his National Security Council and other senior positions. George H. W. Bush’s Secretary of State James Baker, a die-hard Bush loyalist, is also being proffered as a member of Trump’s White House team. There is absolutely no reason for Trump to seek the advice from old Republican fossils like Baker, Hadley, former Secretaries of State Rice and Powell, the lunatic former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, and others. There are plenty of Trump supporters who have a wealth of experience in foreign and national security matters, including those of African, Haitian, Hispanic, and Arab descent and who are not neocons, who can fill Trump’s senior- and middle-level positions.
Trump must distance himself from sudden well-wishing neocons, adventurists, militarists, and interventionists and not permit them to infest his administration. If Mrs. Clinton had won the presidency, an article on the incoming administration would have read as follows:
«Based on the militarism and foreign adventurism of her term as Secretary of State and her husband Bill Clinton’s two terms as president, the world is in store for major American military aggression on multiple fronts around the world. President-elect Hillary Clinton has made no secret of her desire to confront Russia militarily, diplomatically, and economically in the Middle East, on Russia’s very doorstep in eastern Europe, and even within the borders of the Russian Federation. Mrs. Clinton has dusted off the long-discredited ‘containment’ policy ushered into effect by Professor George F. Kennan in the aftermath of World War. Mrs. Clinton’s administration will likely promote the most strident neo-Cold Warriors of the Barack Obama administration, including Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland, a personal favorite of Clinton».
President-elect Trump cannot afford to permit those who are in the same web as Nuland, Hadley, Bolton, and others to join his administration where they would metastasize like an aggressive form of cancer. These individuals would not carry out Trump’s policies but seek to continue to damage America’s relations with Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, and other nations.
Not only must Trump have to deal with Republican neocons trying to worm their way into his administration, but he must deal with the attempt by Soros to disrupt his presidency and the United States with a Purple Revolution
No sooner had Trump been declared the 45th president of the United States, Soros-funded political operations launched their activities to disrupt Trump during Obama’s lame-duck period and thereafter. The swiftness of the Purple Revolution is reminiscent of the speed at which protesters hit the streets of Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, in two Orange Revolutions sponsored by Soros, one in 2004 and the other, ten years later, in 2014.
As the Clintons were embracing purple in New York, street demonstrations, some violent, all coordinated by the Soros-funded Moveon.org and «Black Lives Matter», broke out in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Oakland, Nashville, Cleveland, Washington, Austin, Seattle, Philadelphia, Richmond, St. Paul, Kansas City, Omaha, San Francisco, and some 200 other cities across the United States.
The Soros-financed Russian singing group «Pussy Riot» released on YouTube an anti-Trump music video titled «Make America Great Again». The video went «viral» on the Internet. The video, which is profane and filled with violent acts, portrays a dystopian Trump presidency. Following the George Soros/Gene Sharp script to a tee, Pussy Riot member Nadya Tolokonnikova called for anti-Trump Americans to turn their anger into art, particularly music and visual art. The use of political graffiti is a popular Sharp tactic. The street protests and anti-Trump music and art were the first phase of Soros’s Purple Revolution in America.
President-elect Trump is facing a two-pronged attack by his opponents. One, led by entrenched neo-con bureaucrats, including former Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency director Michael Hayden, former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, and Bush family loyalists are seeking to call the shots on who Trump appoints to senior national security, intelligence, foreign policy, and defense positions in his administration. These neo-Cold Warriors are trying to convince Trump that he must maintain the Obama aggressiveness and militancy toward Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and other countries. The second front arrayed against Trump is from Soros-funded political groups and media. This second line of attack is a propaganda war, utilizing hundreds of anti-Trump newspapers, web sites, and broadcasters, that will seek to undermine public confidence in the Trump administration from its outset.
One of Trump’s political advertisements, released just prior to Election Day, stated that George Soros, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, and Goldman Sachs chief executive officer Lloyd Blankfein, are all part of «a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities». Soros and his minions immediately and ridiculously attacked the ad as «anti-Semitic». President Trump should be on guard against those who his campaign called out in the ad and their colleagues. Soros’s son, Alexander Soros, called on Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner, to publicly disavow Trump. Soros’s tactics not only seek to split apart nations but also families. Trump must be on guard against the current and future machinations of George Soros, including his Purple Revolution.
=======================================
Purple worn by Hillary was the trigger to these armies of MKultras and similars that have been "sleepers" and which are talked about by the likes of Carolyn Hamlett (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?84721-Did-off-duty-US-military-foil-another-possible-suspicious-False-Flag-attack-on-Train-in-France&p=991623&viewfull=1#post991623)... whether Trump's or Hillary's "supporters," their purpose is to create, support and sustain chaos, I suspect.

US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have held their first telephone call, in which the two leaders discussed Syria and agreed to improve and develop bilateral ties, the Kremlin said in a statement.
In their telephone conversation, the two leaders agreed that they share a common view on "uniting efforts in the fight with the common enemy number one - international terrorism and extremism," the Kremlin said in a statement (http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/53255) published on its website late Monday. The Kremlin added that Putin and Trump also discussed ways to settle the Syria crisis.
Putin and Trump paid special attention to the importance of establishing a stable basis for bilateral relations by developing trade and economic ties between the two countries and working toward "constructive cooperation," the Kremlin said.
The president and the president-elect agreed to keep in contact by telephone and have discussed the idea of meeting in person.
Next year, Russia and the US will celebrate 210 years since the beginning of their diplomatic relations, which might motivate them "reversing towards pragmatic, mutually beneficial cooperation that would satisfy the interests of both countries, promote stability and safety around the world," the statement also says.

Defcon Warning System reduces threat to lowest possible state after Trump election (http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/732135/donald-trump-election-defcon-reduced-level-5-safest-level)

The Defcon Warning System, a private organisation which monitors world events and estimates the nuclear threat against America, is now at Level 5 - its lowest possible state.
Just weeks ago the warning was accelerated to Level 3 following increased tensions between US and Russia, with insiders fearing the West was creeping closer to nuclear war.
Level 3 means US troops could be mobilised in as little as 15 minutes.
But the group, made up of experts claiming to have contacts within the US security industry, have seen Donald Trump's election win as a pacifier for Russian relations.
The group wrote on its website: "The United States took a tentative step toward a more isolationist policy with its recent presidential election.
"While it will take several months to see how the US reforms its foreign policy, already some world leaders have expressed hope that relations could improve, including Russia and Syria.
"If the new US President keeps to his previous statements, look for the United States to withdraw somewhat from military confrontations in the Middle East and possibly European theatre, though it is highly unlikely it will abandon NATO commitments, and the Ukraine will likely pop up again in the near future.
"Russia, however, will probably wait to see what the new President does, as well as now being hampered by the coming winter."
Donald Trump's election as president of America was welcomed by Vladimir Putin, leader of the US' biggest rival Russia. He said he hoped the pair would be able to work well together towards a more friendly relationship between the two superstates.
The group did warn, however, about some remaining threats to US and world security.
It said: "China and North Korea ... continue to either cast a wary eye or are outright belligerent. Israel ... will become more of a focal point again.
"Meanwhile, more troops are to be sent to Europe in 2017 to bolster defences against Russian movements and NATO continues building up forces in Poland and surrounding areas to protect against a potential Russian assault."
While the US government also uses the Defcon system, it is private and not available to the public, so public records are estimates.
Level 5 means the US Department of Defence should be at its lowest state of readiness for nuclear war.

Chaos or cunning? Trump strikes back against 'totally wrong' media reports on transition team (https://www.rt.com/usa/367181-trum-transition-rumors-reports/)

Donald Trump © Brian Snyder / Reuters
President-elect Donald Trump has taken to Twitter again, blasting the media for speculating about his transition team and cabinet appointments. While the press has described the transition as chaotic and confused, Trump called it a “very organized process.”
Trump’s team needs to find and hire 4,000 political appointees to fill federal government offices, from cabinet-level positions to White House and agency staff, Reuters reported. Last week, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was replaced at the helm of the team by Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
Pence has reportedly eliminated all lobbyists from the transition team, according to the Wall Street Journal. Among those ousted were former Michigan congressman Mike Rogers, who handled national security business, and Matthew Freedman, who worked on defense and foreign policy.
“Is there a little confusion in New York? I think there is. I think this is growing pains,” Rogers told CNN on Tuesday. Anonymous sources cited by CNN both confirmed and denied infighting among Trump’s advisers.
Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that US allies were “scrambling” to get hold of Trump, dialing the Trump Tower in New York. The paper cited a “Western diplomat who spoke on the condition of anonymity to detail private conversations.”
Trump fired back (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/798861300453539840) on Wednesday morning, calling the “failing New York Times” story “totally wrong on transition.” The president-elect also described the process as going “so smoothly.”
He also dismissed the frenzy of media speculation about his possible cabinet picks, saying he was the only one who knew the “finalists,” and denied rumors about trying to get security clearances for his children, slamming them as “a typically false news story.”
Trump said (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/798864532433211392) he had spoken to leaders of Russia, the UK, China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and more, and that the Times was “just upset that they looked like fools in their coverage of me.”
On Tuesday, the president-elect and his family ditched the press pool to dine at a New York steakhouse, leaving the reporters to huddle outside. The slight was condemned by White House Correspondents’ Association president Jeff Mason (https://twitter.com/awprokop/status/798708532493381633), who called it “unacceptable” for the president-elect to travel without the press pool.
A coalition of 11 press groups sent an open letter (http://www.press.org/news-multimedia/president/2016/11/open-letter-president-elect-donald-trump) to Trump on Wednesday, asking him to “preserve longstanding traditions that ensure coverage” of the presidency.
The press pool dates back to the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and every president since “has treated this important tradition with respect,” according to Thomas Burr, president of the National Press Club.
It certainly appears that the president-elect is about to break with that tradition, however. There is a lot of bad blood between the press and Trump, with most US newspapers openly endorsing his opponent Hillary Clinton. Trump made media bias a major talking point on the campaign trail, and bypassed the traditional press by communicating with the public directly, via his Twitter account.
Representative Chris Collins (R-New York), the transition team's congressional liaison, said that Wednesday’s tweets were a way for Trump to blow off some steam, as he is under a lot of pressure.
"If this is his way of relaxing, God bless him," Collins told CNN. "You don't want this stuff all bottled up.”
SOTT Comment (https://www.sott.net/article/334028-Chaos-or-cunning-Lobbyists-culled-from-transition-team-Trump-continues-to-stump-observers-calls-media-reports-on-infighting-totally-wrong):
Apparently the removal of lobbyists from the original list compiled by Christie was one of Pence's first moves (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/16/pence-removing-lobbyists-from-trump-transition-team.html) as transition team leader. Yesterday, Pence also signed the memorandum allowing the Trump team to work with the Obama administration to ensure the coordination of the transfer of power between the outgoing and incoming administrations. (There was some media frenzy over the fact that Pence had yet to sign the document, the Trump team insisting on some changes of wording.)
If Trump is to make good on his promises, he has to walk a fine line. He must reward loyalists, gain allies in the establishment, and find effective ways of sidelining those he perceives as fifth columnists, both within his group of supporters and those opportunists who will try to ingratiate themselves into his team. That could mean showing support at one moment, then finding unacceptable conflicts of interest (e.g., with Giuliani) to justify a change of heart.
Trump is breaking with all sorts of traditions. For example, from the NYT article (http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/2016/11/firings-and-discord-put-trump.html) mentioned above: "his team was improvising the most basic traditions of assuming power. That included working without official State Department briefing materials in his first conversations with foreign leaders." To which we can only say, good job! The State Department will no doubt try to sway a Trump administration in the direction of "business as usual", i.e., "Russia is bad, al-Qaeda is good, etc." The U.S. needs a president who will not only ignore this bad advice, but come up with sane deals with foreign powers.
From AP (http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/2016/11/key-figures-purged-from-trump.html):
Little to no information was released by the transition office, leaving a clutch of reporters gathered in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York to hustle after team members passing between the front doors and the elevators.
As he had during the campaign, Trump appeared to be increasingly uncomfortable with outsiders and suspicious of those considered part of what one insider called the "bicoastal elite," who are perceived as trying to "insinuate" themselves into positions of power.

The clampdown on libertarian media that would have been quickly activated after a Clinton victory seems to be going ahead anyway, according to the Alex Jones Show.
The meme is "Fake News". Twitter and Facebook are cleaning out what they prefer to call Alt-Right accounts, by this new 'fake news' excuse.
Alex retaliated with a reminder about an old NewsWeek report 35 years ago that oil would run out in 8 years.

Hopefully, Trump is going to adopt a few tips and tricks from this guy:
Is Putin finally purging the Medvedev government of its liberal fifth columnists? (http://www.unz.com/tsaker/putin-is-finally-purging-the-medvedev-government/)
The Saker The Unz Review (http://www.unz.com/tsaker/putin-is-finally-purging-the-medvedev-government/) Thu, 17 Nov 2016 00:42 UTC

While the world was focused in rapt attention on the outcome of the US Presidential election, Vladimir Putin did something quite amazing - he arrested Alexei Uliukaev (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Ulyukaev), Minister of the Economy of the Medvedev government, on charges of extortion and corruption. Uliukaev, whose telephone had been tapped by the Russian Security Services since this summer, was arrested in the middle of the night in possession of 2 million US dollars. Putin officially fired him the next morning.
Russian official sources say that Uliukaev extorted a $2 million bribe for an assessment that led to the acquisition by Rosneft (a state run Russian oil giant) of a 50% stake in Bashneft (another oil giant). Apparently, Uliukaev tried to threaten Igor Sechin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Sechin), the President of Rosneft and a person considered close to Vladimir Putin and the Russian security and intelligence services.
Yes, you read that right: according to the official version, a state-owned company gave a bribe to a member of the government. Does that make sense to you? How about a senior member of the government who had his telephone tapped and who has been under close surveillance by the Federal Security Service for over a year - does that make sense to you?
This makes no sense at all and the Russian authorities fully realize that. But that is the official version. So what is going on here? Do you think that there is a message from Putin here?
Of course there is!
Remember the corrupt Minister of Defense Anatolii Serdiukov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoliy_Serdyukov)? He was first fired from his position and only then arrested. But this time around, it is a member of the government which is arrested in the middle of the night. For a few hours, his subordinates could not even reach him - they had no idea what had happened to him. Was that a mistake?
Hardly.
The way Uliukaev was detained was carefully choreographed to instil the strongest sense of fear possible in all the other 5th columnists still in power because in so many ways Uliukaev was a symbol for all the the "Atlantic Integrationists" (those in the Kremlin who want to integrate Russia into the US controlled international security system): Uliukaev was a known liberal, just like Nikita Belykh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Belykh), governor of Kirov Region, who was detained in a high-publicity arrest in June for taking a 400,000 Euros bribe. I would even say that Uliukaev could be considered the ultimate symbol of the Atlantic Integrationists and a faithful member of the Russian "liberal" (meaning the "Washington consensus" type) sect who, in the past had worked with Egor Gaidar and Alexei Kudrin and who now has been brought down by the Russian "siloviki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silovik)", the top officials of the so-called "power ministries" (defense, state security, intelligence).
https://www.sott.net/image/s17/358048/medium/word_image6_235x300.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s17/358048/full/word_image6_235x300.jpg)
Sergei Korolev, the Head of the Economic Security service of the FSB
This was immediately recognized by everybody and the main headline of the popular website Gazeta.ru could not be clearer, it read: "The Siloviki brought down Uliukaev" and featured a photo of the key actors of this drama, including the tough-looking man thought to have brought Uliukaev down, Sergei Korolev, the Head of the Economic Security service of the FSB (shown on photo here).
In April, I predicted that a government purge was in the making (http://thesaker.is/is-putin-preparing-a-governmental-purge/). I have to admit that I thought that this would have happened earlier. Apparently Putin decided to take action while Uncle Sam was busy with his own, internal, problems. If that is indeed the reason for the late timing, that says a lot about the power the USA still wields in Russia. Some observers noticed that the arrest of Uliukaev took place after the telephone conversation between Trump and Putin, hinting that Trump might have given Putin the go ahead for the arrest. That is, of course, utter nonsense, but if that can make Putin look bad - it's good enough for the 5th columnists.
The list of potential 'candidates' to be purged next (http://thesaker.is/putins-biggest-failure/) is still long and includes names like the Deputy Prime Minister Arkadii Dvorkovich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_Dvorkovich), the First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Shuvalov), the Governor of the Russian Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Nabiullina), the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Siluanov) and, of course, Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev. Uliukaev was only one amongst many more. Still, he was definitely a top-level target and the manner in which he was arrested must have sent a chill down the spine of all the other 5th columnists in the Kremlin. Just the fact that his phone was tapped for so long is quite unthinkable and clearly points to the fact that nobody is safe from Putin's purges. And that, by itself, is truly a most welcome change: every member of the Medvedev government now has been put on notice that his/her life is now spent under the close scrutiny of the FSB.
It really matters little what will happen to Uliukaev next. He has been formally arraigned, now his case will be further investigated and then Uliukaev will have his day in court (right now he has only been detained and he will be kept under house arrest for the next two months). Potentially, he faces 15 years in jail and a fine equivalent to 70 times the amount of the bribe he took. Judging by the case of Serdyukov, who has managed to escape any prison time thanks to a Presidential Amnesty for the 20 years of the Russian Constitution, Putin seems to be reluctant to inflict any form of retribution upon his enemies. But even if Uliukaev does not get to enjoy the fresh air of the Siberian taiga, he is already finished as a power broker, and that is all that really matters to Putin.
What matters here is that in the course of one night, a top level Russian Minister went from his Ministerial Offices to a holding cell and that absolutely nobody saw it coming or could prevent this. Yet again we have a case of 100% Putin style: no warnings of any kind, no hints even, just sudden dramatic action with an immediate result. His "handwriting" is clearly all over the case.
Uliukaev ain't laughing no more...
The reaction to this arrest in Russia was predictable, especially after sources in the security services told the Russian media that Arkadii Dvorkovich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkady_Dvorkovich) and Andrei Belousov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Belousov) were also under investigation. Anatolii Chubais, for example, declared that he was in "total shock". Even better was the reaction of Prime Minister Medvedev who said that this development was at the "edge of his understanding".
It will be interesting to observe the inevitable reaction from the Atlantic Integrationists: if they really feel defeated, they will pay lip-service to the need to "fight corruption on all levels" and generally keep a low profile. If they still have some fight in them, they will denounce a "Stalinist" crackdown, the return to "1930's-like purges" and a "new campaign of terror" against democracy. The western corporate media, whose only "value" is money, will write about how the Russian "secret police" is cracking down on "business entrepreneurs" and how that will end up damaging the Russian economy. Basically, a repeat of the whining which we all heard when Putin dismantled the infamous semibankirshchina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semibankirschina). As Elton John would say, we "have seen that movie too..."
As for the rabid Putin-hating nationalists, they will say that this is too little too late. For years they have been complaining about corruption and how top level officials were never investigated, and now that they seem to have gotten their wish, it's "too little, too late". But that doesn't really matter, since they have almost as little credibility with the Russian general public as the pro-western parties like Iabloko or Parnass.
The main media outlets and political commentators are all giving Putin a standing ovation right now. That is hardly surprising since they are the ones who for many months now have been loudly and constantly complaining about the "economic bloc of the government", meaning the pro-US 5th columnists inside the Medvedev government. Quite literally all the main political commentators have been begging and demanding a purge of this "economic bloc" and a radical change in the economic policies of Russia. Well, they got one villain purged, which is a good start, but there are no signs that more heads will roll or that the economic course of Russia will finally break from the Washington consensus kind of policies and be replaced with much needed policy of internal growth. But then, knowing Putin, we should not expect any signs - only action.
In Russia, just as in the USA, changing the people is far easier than changing the system while the only way to achieve real change is, precisely, to change the system, not the people. So far, Putin has only succeeded in kicking some of the worst people out and, to his credit, getting some very good people in. Now that a threat of war with the USA is very substantially reduced and that Uncle Sam will be busy with his own, internal, struggles, I hope that Putin will finally take some very strong action to liberate Russia from the Washington consensus types and replace them with real patriots who will finally make it possible for Russia to become a truly sovereign country, even in the economic sense.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIBERTY MOVEMENT?
http://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/what-happened-to-the-liberty-movement/
The past week in the US was largely defined by a nationwide protest movement against the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President.
Putin was quick to congratulate Trump on his win and said he looked forward to Russia normalizing relations with the US, releasing photos of his teetotaling self, hoisting a flute of Champagne.
The threat of a nuclear war plunged from 3, “Above normal levels, Air Force ready to mobilize in 15 minutes,” to 5, “Normal peacetime readiness.” (1 signifies “Maximum readiness; all forces ready for combat; nuclear war imminent or likely”).
Having been born during the Cold War, I was confounded that these protestors could care less about the nuclear war already hovering over our heads and promising to zoom to a more perilous Defcon, with the election of their candidate. They didn’t care about the war crimes that have bloodied the hands of Secretary Clinton, in the massacres of 500k+ civilian innocents in Libya and Syria. They didn’t care about the complete demolition of these countries’ infrastructures, ancient monuments and the total destruction of these societies. They were perfectly fine with Hillary’s vote to invade Iraq, where another 1M+ civilians were slaughtered and that country also razed to the ground for no good reason.
They weren’t protesting the 7k+ US fighters killed in action over the past 15 years and ~50k maimed, in the longest continuous armed conflict of any other in US history. They weren’t protesting about 9/11, which altered our legal structure into a sick surveillance state, unimaginable to George Orwell. They couldn’t give a damn, that under Obama, State propaganda was legalized and that he incrementally added executive powers to the yearly National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), to the point where now, the US President has the right to detain or to kill anybody, anywhere on the planet without due process.
Where’s that social justice, when you really need it?
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets, who were apparently OK with a fifth term of bloodthirsty and financially ruinous NeoCon “Endless War” policies, guaranteed by Hillary’s Warhawk rhetoric. That was just fine.
Snowflake sensibilities boiled over into violent riots, over some stupid things that Donald Trump said, which could never pass into law.
That was how I felt until yesterday, when I saw this clip by TruthstreamMedia – and I realized that I’d been fooled again.za5D0o3U6jU

How do "investors" always win and get back trillions on their penny-millions?
Zakharova said that she had formulated the claim while visiting New York during an official visit with a Russian delegation in September. (http://www.jpost.com/Us-Elections/Donald-Trump/Russian-FM-spokesperson-suggests-US-election-influenced-by-Jewish-conspiracy-473030)

JEWISH SUPPORTERS wear kippot showing their support for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.. (photo credit:REUTERS)
Controversy erupted in Moscow Friday afternoon after a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson suggested that the recent US presidential election was influenced by a "Jewish conspiracy," according to the BBC. (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38018439)
During an interview with a Russian television chat show, Maria Zakharova quipped that the best template to gauge America's political landscape was the New York Jewish community.
"If you want to know what will happen in America, who do you need to talk to? You have to talk to the Jews, of course. It goes without saying."
At this, the live studio audience applauded loudly, according to the BBC.
Zakharova added that she had formulated the claim while visiting New York during an official visit with a Russian delegation in September.
"I have a lot of friends and acquaintances there, of course I was interested to find out: how are the elections going, what are the American people's expectations?"
The Russian state employee than attempted to mimic a Jewish accent and said Russian Jews had told her: "Marochka, understand this - we'll donate to Clinton, of course. But we'll give the Republicans twice that amount.' Enough said! That settled it for me - the picture was clear," adding that "if you want to know the future, don't read the mainstream newspapers - our people in Brighton [Beach] will tell you everything."
In response, several political figures came out against Zakharova's statements, including Russian opposition activist Roman Dobrokhotov, who wrote on Twitter (in Russian) that the spokeswoman had "explained Trump's victory as a Jewish conspiracy," the BBC reported.
Former US ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul also took to social media, writing: "Wow. And this is the woman who criticizes me for not being diplomatic."
[note that it is the BBC that's suggesting a "conspiracy" out of the "template" statement]
=================================================
So...in the US (at least), presidential campaigns are - basically - a 4-year hedged (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_(finance)) investment... whoever the winner is, said investors will get back dollars on their pennies and whoever has the best insiders' dope wins the jackpot...

Bombshell: David Gergen’s elite connections, his attempt to stop Trump (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/11/27/bombshell-david-gergens-elite-connections-his-attempt-to-stop-trump/)
by Jon Rappoport (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/author/jonrappoport/) Nov27 (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/11/27/bombshell-david-gergens-elite-connections-his-attempt-to-stop-trump/), 2016
Yes, he works for CNN. He’s operated as “White House advisor” to four presidents: Ford, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton. That should give you pause.
Why?
Because Washington insider David Gergen, currently a CNN political commentator, is also a member of the executive committee of the Trilateral Commission (TC) (see here (http://davidgergen.com/about/), here (http://www.apfn.org/apfn/cfr-members.htm), and here (http://trilateral.org/download/files/membership/TC_list_8_16.pdf)). The TC is one of the most powerful elite groups on the planet. Founded by David Rockefeller in 1973, the TC has been making domestic and foreign policy for America since the Jimmy Carter administration.
Before we get to the significance of Gergen’s TC ties, here is a sprinkling of critical statements about Donald Trump that Gergen made during the presidential race:
“Whatever chance Donald Trump still had of capturing the White House largely evaporated Sunday night in his second debate with Hillary Clinton.” (here (http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/10/opinions/clinton-trump-second-debate-roundup/))
“Donald Trump’s behavior on stage Thursday night and in the days that have followed strike many as unfathomable: How can anyone act so arrogantly and meanly in public life?” (here (http://davidgergen.com/davids-latest/what-explains-donald-trumps-arrogance/))
“[Donald Trump made the 2016 election a] ‘national joke’ [when he guested on The Dr. Oz Show to say he was in good health].” (here (http://crooksandliars.com/2016/09/david-gergen-seethes-over-trumps-dr-oz))
“[Trump delivered a] ‘slanderous speech’ [against Hillary Clinton, saying she should go to jail].” (here (http://crooksandliars.com/2016/06/donald-trumps-slanderous-speech-attacking))
“Donald Trump is a walking example of someone who’s dismissive of women. Can you imagine what it’s like for him to think that he might be beaten by a woman? Serves him right.”
David Gergen never writes in depth about his own membership in the elite Rockefeller Trilateral Commission. The TC a) is a Globalist juggernaut, and b) Donald Trump’s attack on Globalism, its trade treaties, and its wholesale theft of US jobs, is in direct opposition to the Trilateral Commission’s aims.
A simple conflict-of-interest statement from Gergen would do. Something like this:
“Hi, I’m David Gergen, and I’m a member of an elite group determined to create a new international economic order. We favor the eventual eradication of national borders and the ascendance of transnational corporations and banks as the captains of the world. Therefore, I’m ideologically opposed to what that son of a bitch Donald Trump stands for.”
Then we’d know.
Here are two key Trilateral Commission quotes that reflect its global outlook:
“The nation state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.” — Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission.
Any doubt on the question of Trilateral Commission goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, the founder of the TC, in his Memoirs (2003) (https://www.amazon.com/Memoirs-David-Rockefeller/dp/0812969731):
“Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty (TPP), a Globalist nightmare, is now under consideration. Trump has vowed to stop it as soon as he takes office. David Gergen, of course, as a member of the Trilateral Commission, favors it.
Gergen:
“The [Obama] administration’s increasing focus on Asia is a welcome move, but it too has gone less well than expected…the famous ‘pivot’ will depend upon completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the most important trade agreement in decades. To its credit, the administration has aggressively pursued the deal but to little avail.” Again, why doesn’t Gergen discuss his Trilateral membership in depth? Obviously, because it would fatally compromise his position as a journalist.
In order to avoid disseminating more fake news, CNN—already a Niagara of fake news—ought to introduce Gergen this way, every time he’s prepared to comment on Trump, the TPP, or Globalism:
“And now, remarks on the new president from our resident insider, David Gergen. David is a veteran member of the little-known but very powerful Trilateral Commission. He sits on its executive committee. The Trilateral Commission, founded by none other than David Rockefeller, favors eradication of national boundaries, a new international economic order, and Globalist trade treaties which of course give mega-corporations and banks control of the planet’s future. President-elect Trump opposes all this. David? What do you have for us today?”
“Well, when you put it that way…”
“Thank you, David. Talk to you again next week. We’ll be right back after the break.”
Going all the way back to 1978, here is the essence of an astonishing interview with two Trilateral Commission members about who was setting US domestic and foreign policy in Jimmy Carter’s administration.
The interview was conducted by reporter Jeremiah Novak. He was speaking with two American members of the Trilateral Commission:
NOVAK (reporter): Yes, but why doesn’t President Carter come out with it and tell the American people that economic and political power is being coordinated by a [Trilateral Commission] committee made up of Henry Owen and six others? After all, if [US] policy is being made on a multinational level , the people should know.
[B]RICHARD COOPER [Trilateral Commission member]: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to this in their speeches.
KARL KAISER [Trilateral Commission member]: It just hasn’t become an issue.
Source: [U]“Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management,” (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0896081036/) ed. by Holly Sklar, 1980. South End Press, Boston. Pages 192-3. It didn’t become an issue because major media didn’t expose it, and neither did President Carter, contrary to what these two TC members claimed.
The very idea that Trump might not continue this massive covert op to deliver US government power into the hands of the TC and David Rockefeller…insider David Gergen and his TC cronies wouldn’t be happy about that at all. Not at all.
And CNN talks about “fake news.” They are Fake News Central.
They are complicit in maintaining the United States as a satellite of the Trilateral Commission.
You think this might be an overstatement of the TC’s power now?
In the run-up to his inauguration after the 2008 presidential election, Obama was tutored by the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H4GPJO/), points out there are only 87 members of the Trilateral Commission who live in America. Obama appointed eleven of them (!) to posts in his administration.
For example:
* Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary
* James Jones, National Security Advisor
* Paul Volker, Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee
* Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence
Here is the payoff. The US Trade Representative (appointed by Obama in 2013), responsible for negotiating the TPP with 11 other nations, is Michael Froman, a former member of the Trilateral Commission. Don’t let the word “former” fool you. TC members resign when they take positions in the Executive Branch of government. And when they serve in vital positions, such as US Trade Representative, they aren’t there by accident. They’re TC operatives with a specific agenda.
So yes, the power of the Trilateral Commission is alive and current. It entangles and befouls one president after another.
It is diametrically opposed to America as a sovereign independent nation.
Dear David Gergen: I’d be happy to interview you on these subjects. Perhaps you’ll tell me you’re only a TC member in some “honorary” sense, you don’t really participate, your TC position is just another line in your bio; whatever. Let’s get it on the record.
Any time.

Jill Stein's Wisconsin recount backfiring? Donald Trump nets 3 additional votes (http://theduran.com/day-2-of-jill-steins-wisconsin-recount-nets-donald-trump-3-additional-votes/)
Alex Christoforou The Duran (http://theduran.com/day-2-of-jill-steins-wisconsin-recount-nets-donald-trump-3-additional-votes/) Sun, 04 Dec 2016 00:00 UTC
https://www.sott.net/image/s18/361782/large/Trump_Wisconsin_001.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s18/361782/full/Trump_Wisconsin_001.jpg)
Clinton gained 3 votes. Trump gained 6 votes. Net Trump gain of 3 votes on Day 2.
The Wisconsin recount vote is not turning out quite how Jill Stein, Hillary Clinton or George Soros (http://theduran.com/exposed-george-soros-behind-the-hillary-clinton-lawyer-working-with-jill-stein-on-voter-recount/) had hoped.
With day 2 now in the books, Donald Trump has moved ahead by a three more additional votes.
After a second day of wasting everyone's time and money, Wisconsin now has Trump ahead by an additional three votes.
Heavy.com reports (http://heavy.com/news/2016/12/wisconsin-recount-totals-update-day-2-3-1-returns-two-latest-info-news-live-michigan/) on Stein's massive recount failure...
The Wisconsin Election Commission posts recount data on a spreadsheet every day. The latest spreadsheet totals as of 1:30 p.m. CST on December 3 show that the recount isn't changing much, although a smattering of errors have been found throughout the state. The candidates each lost and gained a smattering of votes in towns, cities, and villages that are reporting, so any losses were basically cancelled out.
The Election Commission doesn't tally the returns, but, rather, just posts a raw spreadsheet of numbers. Heavy went through the spreadsheet and tallied the lost and gained votes for Trump and Clinton for each county so far, and then subtracted the two totals for a net gain or loss for day 2.
Here's what the returns show so far:
Day 2 totals
Clinton gained 89 votes but lost 86 for a net gain of 3 votes.
Trump gained 98 votes but lost 92 for a net gain of 6 votes.
OVERALL
Clinton gained 3 votes
Trump gained 6 votes
Net Trump gain of 3 votes on Day 2
Trump won Wisconsin by more than 22,000 votes.
That means that Trump inched ahead by a grand total of 3 votes in a recount expected to cost more than $3.5 million. Green Party nominee Jill Stein raised more than $6 million to fund recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The latter two recounts are now bogged down in legal issues and challenges. On December 3, Stein dropped her request for a Pennsylvania recount, saying she couldn't afford the $1 million required, even though she raised $7 million overall for recounts. Clinton would have needed all three states - Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan - to flip in order to take the White House back from Trump, an exceedingly tall order.

Stein may have a different agenda.
let's say she knew that in the Key three that Trump won narrowly, there had been massive Clinton fiddling in the urban parts. Uncovering this is no threat to Trump, but is another blow for HC.
Corporate Media seems intent on suppressing the very idea that any fraud could be possible. If Stein can prove that bad stuff took place, it opens up the very necessary debate about cleaning up these procedures. It may finally help wake up some more of the left from its fluffy deluded world.
It means that a good candidate on the left next time is more likely, and Stein will have raised her profile by fixing things....

I don't think it's just Stein's agenda. I see this charade purely as a way for the Dem's to begin the process of getting Stein's name into the arena for next time. What's funny to me is that they already obviously feel they have no choice but to play the female card again like that's their best sheeple swaying advantage.

From Jim Stone (http://82.221.129.208/baasepageg7.html):
PEOPLE, HERE IS THE MEME: Russia hacked the election so well that Hillary's votes got counted SIX TIMES.
http://www.jimstone.is/russianhackers.jpg
As of this morning, the Pennsylvania vote tabulation web site has not changed after it was offline yesterday.
I have a hunch, I think I know what stopped the recount efforts everywhere, and I don't think they will be re-started anywhere. I don't think Jill Stein will push lawsuits anywhere now, I think it is over.
REASON: It was proven that Hillary most likely stole 100, 000 plus votes in Detroit. Who knows how many, but it looks like she stole 85 percent of her total votes. SHE GOT BUSTED THERE. And I know damn well she did this nationwide.
What happened to prove it? A certified box that was marked to have over 300 ballots inside, which was used to represent that many voters, was opened and it only had 50. Some were obviously Trump votes, and whatever was left for Hillary was re-run through the counting machines however many times it took to get the count up to over 300.
People are erroneously saying Hillary was over represented by 6 X because they are taking the entire number of ballots and dividing 300 by that. But the cold hard reality was that there were probably fewer than 20 votes in that box for Hillary, and the people we are supposed to trust to count the election may have run them in excess of 15X each.

I am wondering if recounts are done by people?
Or are the recounts done with the closed source/unverified software that was used for the original count?

Wisconsin recount is conducted by the Board of Canvassers, which is each "Municipal Clerk and two other qualified electors (election inspectors)". My understanding of state law is that electronic votes are to be recounted electronically and physical votes physically.
From Politifact.com and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (12-9-16):
According to State House Republican Sean Duffy: "We only have one county that's hand counting the votes, that's Dane County, which is the home of (state capitol) Madison. It's the progressive-liberal-Communist community of Madison."

Wisconsin recount ends, Trump... gains more votes (https://www.rt.com/usa/370120-donald-trump-wisconsin-recount/)

The final results of the Wisconsin recount are in, much to Donald Trump's delight. The president-elect took to Twitter to bask in the glory of the final numbers, which threw additional votes his way.
Nearly 3 million votes were recounted in the swing state, with the result handing Trump even more votes than were originally recorded.
Using what seems to be his favorite means of communication, Trump tweeted the news, once again calling the recount led by Green Party candidate Jill Stein a “scam.”
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1980294624/DJT_Headshot_V2_bigger.jpg Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump)
The final Wisconsin vote is in and guess what - we just picked up an additional 131 votes. The Dems and Green Party can now rest. Scam!While Trump's tweet said the recount landed him an additional 131 votes, AP reported that he picked up a net 162 votes.
The Wisconsin results changed by fewer than 1,800 votes, or 0.06 percent. Overall, Trump won the state by more than 22,000 votes.
In addition, the recount found no evidence of widespread problems or hacking, despite suggestions from Stein, who argued – without evidence – that voting machines in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan were susceptible to hacking.
Stein responded to the recount results in a statement (http://www.jill2016.com/wi_recount_response) on her website, saying she is “disappointed that not all counties conducted a full hand recount, which is considered the ‘gold standard’.”
She went on to say that the recount was not about changing the outcome of the election, but about “validating the vote and restoring confidence in our voting system...”
Stein paid for the Wisconsin recount after crowdsourcing the $3.5 million required.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania's recount efforts also came to a close on Monday, with a federal judge rejecting Stein's request to recount paper ballots and scan some counties’ election systems for signs of hacking.
Trump won Pennsylvania after taking home 2.97 million votes compared to Hillary Clinton’s 2.93 million. The result represents the closest percentage victory in a presidential race in Pennsylvania since 1840.
A judge also halted Michigan's recount last week.
Trump has repeatedly called the recount efforts a scam by Stein and her Green Party, tweeting last month that it was aimed to “fill up their coffers.”

Intelligence Officer Who Personally Met the Democratic Email Leaker Confirms Leaker Is with AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE Services (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-12/intelligence-officer-who-personally-met-democratic-email-leaker-confirms-he-was-amer)
http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/pictures/picture-7813.jpg (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/george-washington)by George Washington (http://www.zerohedge.com/users/george-washington) Dec 12, 2016 5:33 PM
The former intelligence analyst, British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, and chancellor of the University of Dundee, Craig Murray, wrote (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/12/cias-absence-conviction/) yesterday:
As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks – there is a major difference between the two.
***
I know who leaked them. I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.
In other words, Murray – a close friend of Julian Assange – says he knows for a fact that there were no hacks at all … instead, an American insider leaked the information to Wikileaks.
Today, Murray writes (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/12/obama-loses-war-whistleblowers/):
If you set up the super surveillance state, hoovering up all the internet traffic of pretty well everybody, that is not just going to affect the ordinary people whom the elite despise. There is also going to be an awful lot of traffic intercepted from sleazy members of the elite connected to even the most senior politicians, revealing all their corruption and idiosyncracies. From people like John Podesta, to take an entirely random example. And once the super surveillance state has intercepted and stored all that highly incriminating material, you never know if some decent human being, some genuine patriot, from within the security services is going to feel compelled to turn whistleblower.
Than they might turn for help to, to take another entirely random example, Julian Assange.
This confirms what the NSA executive who created the agency’s mass surveillance program for digital information, who served as the senior technical director within the agency, who managed six thousand NSA employees, the 36-year NSA veteran widely regarded as a “legend” within the agency and the NSA’s best-ever analyst and code-breaker, who mapped out the Soviet command-and-control structure before anyone else knew how, and so predicted Soviet invasions before they happened (“in the 1970s, he decrypted the Soviet Union’s command system, which provided the US and its allies with real-time surveillance of all Soviet troop movements and Russian atomic weapons”) – previously said (https://soundcloud.com/breitbart/nsa-whistleblower-tells-aaron-klein-agency-has-all-of-hillarys-emails): the leaker was from U.S. intelligence services. And see this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhYoxHuJ3cU).
And Murray confirmed to Washington's Blog by email that Binney "was on the mark." And see this (https://twitter.com/CraigMurrayOrg/status/808449000521273344).
In other words, Russia did not hack the Democratic party emails. Instead, an American intelligence whistleblower leaked them.
It wouldn't be the first time (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/08/nsa-whistleblower-nsa-hack-likely-inside-job.html).
Update: David Swanson interviewed Murray today, and obtained additional information. Specifically, Murray told (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/12/talk-nation-radio-craig-murray-russia-didnt-vincent-emanuele-stopping-pipelines-wars.html) Swanson that: (1) there were two American leakers ... one for the emails of the Democratic National Committee and one for the emails of top Clinton aide John Podesta; (2) Murray met one of those leakers; and (3) both leakers are American insiders with the NSA and/or the DNC, with no known connections to Russia.
And see this (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/12/64139.html).
Postscript: As we've pointed out for years, the NSA is collecting all digital communications (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/10/security-expert-the-details-matter-less-and-less-we-have-to-assume-that-the-nsa-has-everyone-who-uses-electronic-communications-under-constant-surveillance.html), including emails, in America.
The NSA then shares this information with numerous other agencies, including the FBI, DEA, etc (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/12/former-top-nsa-official-now-police-state.html).
We've noted that the NSA’s big data collection itself creates an easy mark for hackers (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/07/another-problem-with-mass-spying-hackers-might-steal-centralized-data.html). Remember, the Pentagon itself sees (http://killerapps.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/08/12/irony_alert_pentagon_now_fears_a_big_data_national_security_threat) the collection of “big data” as a “national security threat” … but the NSA is the biggest data collector on the planet, and thus provides a tempting mother lode of information for foreign hackers.
And we've documented that the Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/05/obama-has-sentenced-whistleblowers-to-31-times-the-jail-time-of-all-prior-u-s-presidents-combined.html).
It sounds like this witches brew of bad policy is what led to the Democratic email leaks from an insider in the intelligence services.
But if anyone wants to try to prove Murray and Binney wrong, it should be easy to check (http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/12/tell-russia-hacked-election.html).

Another 78 have tried to share it from my Facebook page. Between them those 650 people will have, according to the Facebook average, about 200,000 friends. The total amount of incoming traffic from these 200,000 friends? 22 people. Almost nobody can currently reach this site through Facebook, as the "came from" interface on my statcounter below shows. Nothing from Facebook. Facebook are actively colluding in preventing social media from contradicting the mainstream media lies about Russian involvement in the US election campaign.

I am similarly ghost banned on twitter. The work round to this, which plenty of people have found, is to create a new tweet yourself with a link to my site, rather than retweet one of my tweets. As with the Facebook share, if you do retweet you will be unaware it doesn't work.
There are profound implications for society in the compliance of the major social media corporations with establishment demands to prevent social media from effectively challenging the mainstream media narrative - and I cannot think of a more classic example than this case. I do urge you to take action as described above, to show that the people will not stand for it.

Once again Putin has one-upped Obama, showing how a true statesmen and diplomat behaves.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding his traditional end-of-year Q&A marathon session.
Over 1,400 journalists are in attendance at this year's event, free to ask a variety of questions to the Russian President.
Alleged Russian tampering in the US elections, was one hot topic discussed during the Q&A, for which Putin noted...
'Losers always look for someone to blame, but they should first of all look at themselves. The most important thing is what was revealed. It's not like people invented this information - what they reported is true. It showed how the Democratic Party manipulated the system against Bernie Sanders. Instead of apologizing, they began to look for people to blame.' Unlike US President Obama, who felt he needed to prove his manhood by bragging about how he warned the Russian President in September "to cut it out" or else "there were going to be some serious consequences if he did not" stop hacking US emails (for which no evidence exists), Russian President Putin said that details of conversations with President Obama will remain confidential...
'I never reveal the contents of private discussions with foreign leaders.' Once again Putin has one-upped Obama, showing how a true statesmen and diplomat behaves.

Trump questions claim of Russia hacking DNC, says he ‘knows things other people don’t’ (https://www.rt.com/usa/372400-trump-doubts-russia-hacking/)

US President-elect Donald Trump said it was possible “somebody else” compromised the Democratic campaign’s servers as he spoke to reporters on New Year’s Eve, adding that he will reveal some previously undisclosed facts in the coming days.
“I think it’s unfair if we don’t know. It could be somebody else,” Reuters cited Trump as telling media at his Mar-a-Lago estate as he referred to the pinning of the blame for the alleged hacks on Russia.
“I also know things that other people don’t know, so we cannot be sure,” Trump added. “You will find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.”
He also reiterated his willingness to have “great relations” with other countries, including Russia and China.
Trump was apparently asked about his position on the alleged Moscow-backed “hacking” of the Democratic National Committee that resulted in the emergence of leaks unfavorable to Hillary Clinton. While he has consistently shrugged off the accusations, which also claimed he was backed by Russia against Clinton, Trump on Thursday reacted to the new sanctions against Russia and the release of a report by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with a promise to attend intelligence briefings to be updated on the matter.
Trump also said then that the US needs to “move on to bigger and better things.”
The latest report by the FBI and the DHS did not reveal any convincing evidence of the Russian government being behind the alleged hacks, and came with a disclaimer, saying the DHS “does not provide any warranties of any kind regarding any information contained within.”
On Saturday, Trump was also asked about the possibility that he may meet with the Taiwanese president if she was to visit the US after his January 20 inauguration. The issue of Trump talking with Tsai Ing-wen appeared shortly after the two had a phone conversation following Trump’s election victory. The conversation appeared to contradict Beijing’s “One China” policy, meaning that Taiwan should be considered part of China, which the US has upheld for decades.
“We’ll see,” Trump said about meeting Tsai Ing-wen, without elaborating, leading US media to conclude he was leaving a door open to such a possibility.
Trump’s conversation with Taiwan’s leader was rebuked by Beijing and drew some criticism at home, while the president-elect said he was simply accepting a congratulatory call.

This is exactly what I referred to in this post http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?93959-Rigging-the-Election-DNC-Hillary-s-multi-front-assault.&p=1124527&viewfull=1#post1124527
The emails given to Wikileaks originated from within the US, collected by the US intelligence community as part of a long-standing and ongoing program engaged in the collection of intelligence. Every one of Hillarys emails are archived and legally available for evidence in court, despite the fact that those emails were deleted aterwards. Whether or not there will be legal action is up to those making these decisions. Not everyone within the intelligence community is committed to sitting idle and watching the current adminitration abuse their power. The leaking of the emails was a way to show the world just how corrupt the Clinton machine really is. RNC emails were also checked, and pretty much the only reason they were not released was a lack of evidence of attempted manipulation of the election. There were internal conflicts and bickering, but nothing of the level that the DNC had. The party that leaked those emails was not political, he doesn't even like Trump. But after reading through that mess (part of his job), he felt that the public had a right to know the truth about what was going on within campaign efforts. Obama is doing his best to blame Putin for something that Putin had no part of. He is politicizing something that was not intended to be political. It was an attempt to get the truth out to the public. It was an abundance of Democratic campaign dirt and a lack of Republican campaign dirt that made it appear to be politically motivated.
What Snowden revealed is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the capabilities of the international intelligence community. It is not only US based, it is a multi-national cooperative effort. I'll not go into great detail, but consider this. It is your smart devices that are being used to collect information about you. Phone calls, social media, email, computerized messaging, ect. Just because you may be paranoid does not mean that you are not being watched in one or more ways.

That is fairly old news now in the constantly evolving process. It does play into one of the reasons why Obama is taking advantage of the emotional upset over election results to further his puppetmasters agenda as much as possible before he steps down. He did not count on a revolt within the intelligence community over his orders to push forth a common agenda to blame this on Putin, and to delegitimize Trump in the process if he can.
The CIA will typically do whatever is asked by a POTUS, however other agencies have a higher charter and will tend to put the security of the nation over a POTUS request. The classification (clearance) of a standing POTUS is limited for a reason. Like enlisted military personell, a POTUS is limited in the term of employment. Long term positions at higher classifications are typically held for most of ones life. Even when we retire, we don't always totally retire. Many are kept in the loop and active, consulted at times, and reactivated if/when the need arises. I have been reactivated and I have retired several times since retiring for the first time.

Tulsi Gabbard
FOX's Tucker Carlson scored another great interview when he spoke to Hawaii's congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Rep. Gabbard talked about her meeting with President-elect Trump some weeks ago to discuss the danger of further neocon escalation of the war in Syria.
She has also recently introduced a bill in congress aimed at preventing the US from funding terrorist groups like ISIS in the future. The bill is brilliantly named the "Stop Funding Terrorists Act." Seems guaranteed to pass - who could possibly justify voting against it to their constituents? Having this on the books would be a useful tool to stop any further terror-funding operations. Something to watch.

Just two cents for those willing to ponder. Part 1 of the interview of William Tompkins with Kerry Cassidy. He claimed that previous Presidents were Reptilian shape shifted. When asked about Trump, he said NO he is not.
My instincts say, because he is surrounded by powerful Military and because he is "not to be controlled", a phrase many insiders comment on, he will spiritually fight against any such thing. Maybe for once we have a President with a spine, with a stalwart sense of direction and who lets nothing stop him in his life. I believe those who believe he will fail are in the minority because even if you live on the sidelines you want a better country, an honest leader you will pray and hope and imagine he will keep his promises for the people. I think the only think going for him is he is not part of the political club. He distrusts anything that reeks of manipulation and he stands his ground. God bless America.

Rogue fake news outlet CNN had their press pass applications denied by all Trump events at Friday's inauguration, with a source in the transition team revealing the network will not be welcome at future White House press briefings.
Blaming CNN's biased reporting during the election, Trump considers the media organization to be a "fake news" outlet pushing a pernicious agenda.

CNN requested press passes. Here is our response.

However CNN aren't taking the news lying down, with sources claiming they are fighting tooth and nail behind the scenes to hold onto their White House press passes.
Let's get this straight. The network that enabled employee Donna Brazile to funnel debate question to Hillary Clinton, and only fired her after it was revealed (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/us/politics/donna-brazile-wikileaks-cnn.html?_r=0) by WikiLeaks that she did it more than once, is actually expecting the new administration to take them seriously as a media organization?
The same network that has been exposed (https://theintercept.com/2016/10/09/exclusive-new-email-leak-reveals-clinton-campaigns-cozy-press-relationship/) by leaks as having at least nine senior employees who wined and dined with Clinton's campaign manager - at his house - with the express purpose of colluding to "frame the HRC message" and "frame the race."
This is the network expecting to be taken seriously and given access to the White House like real journalists.
Speaking of WikiLeaks, CNN is the network that did its best to discredit the whistleblowing organization by promoting the unfounded establishment propaganda about Russian links - and was caught lying (http://yournewswire.com/cnn-claims-reading-wikileaks-is-illegal-in-america/) to Americans about their First Amendment rights by claiming it is illegal to "possess these stolen emails" and therefore everything viewers learn about WikiLeaks publications must be "learnt through us."

CNN is falling apart at the seams, which is nice to see given they are an establishment run propaganda channel exposed by former staff as accepting cash to air what amounts to informercials for foreign dictators. (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/sep/04/cnn-business-state-sponsored-news)
Once upon a time, the press held government's feet to the fire as a rule. Now it's an occasional minor exposé just so they can hold up something that resembles legitimacy for the year. The rest of the time it's business as usual, lying, manipulating and ingratiating themselves with the establishment - attempting to protect the moneyed elite from independent, legitimate inquiry - so they can still have access and keep that sweet establishment shill money flowing in.
CNN's real status as the DNC establishment's public relations arm has been exposed. Already suffering diabolic ratings, things are going to get a whole lot rockier for them from this point onwards.

Yournewswire actually does produce a bit of fake news themselves, so while it sounds likely I would cross check their statements to find provenance from other sources.

President Trump speaks at CIA Headquarters: Media made it sound like I had a feud with intelligence community (https://www.rt.com/usa/374643-trump-intelligence-media-cia/)

U.S. President Donald Trump
President Donald Trump spoke at CIA Headquarters on his first stop as the newly inaugurated commander in chief telling the intelligence agency that despite media reports he is not at war with the intelligence community.
"The reason you're my first stop is as you know I have a running war with the media- they are among the most dishonest beings on earth, they say I have a feud with the intelligence community. The reason you're my first stop is exactly the opposite," Trump said.
"I am so behind you," he told CIA officials at Langley, Virginia.
Trump continued with examples of the "dishonest media" claiming they skewed attendance figures for his inauguration citing lower numbers and showing images of an empty field.
He also called out Time magazine for running a false story stating that he had removed Martin Luther King's bust from the Oval Office when it was in fact just blocked from view by a cameraman.
Trump told the CIA that he has a great respect for the agency and believes it is "going to be one of the most important groups in the country in making us safe again."
"There is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and CIA than Donald Trump,'' he said
He had nothing but praise for the agency highlighting their importance going forward.
"I love you, I respect you, we're going to start winning again and you will be leading the charge," he told some 400 officers who came in on their time off for the historic visit.
Trump's favourable comments about the CIA come amidst a tense period with the intelligence community after he refused to accept US intel reports on Russia's alleged interference in the election.
Just last week Trump branded outgoing CIA chief Brennan as "the leaker of fake news" after Brennan criticised him for tweeting and told him to understand the Russian threat.
Trump questioned whether the CIA director had leaked a recent unsubstantiated dossier to the media that claimed Russia had collected compromising financial or personal information about him.
The CIA meeting was the new president's first official visit to a government agency.

With a stroke of a pen, President Donald Trump has unraveled the Trans-Pacific Partnership, withdrawing the US from the controversial free-trade pact. Without Washington's participation, the TPP would have to be renegotiated or scrapped altogether.
The largest global trade agreement in 20 years, the TPP would have included the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. It was championed by former President Barack Obama as a way to open Asian markets for American goods and create a trade bloc to counter China.
Opposition to the TPP was one of the key planks of Trump's presidential campaign, with the billionaire businessman calling the trade pact a "potential disaster" for the US. He said he would prefer bilateral trade deals with individual TPP countries instead. Monday's executive order signaled the new administration's determination to address its priorities quickly.
Vietnam backed out of the pact in November, citing uncertainty created by Trump's election and the refusal of the US Congress to ratify the TPP.
Trump has also targeted the North American Free Trade Association, which eliminated commercial barriers between the US, Canada and Mexico during the Clinton administration.
If Wilbur Ross gets the Senate confirmation to head the Department of Commerce, he will be charged with renegotiating the trade deals, alongside US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and chief of the newly established White House Trade Council, Peter Navarro.
"We are going to start renegotiating on NAFTA, on immigration and on security at the border," Trump said on Sunday, after the swearing-in ceremony for senior White House staff.
Trump's animosity for the TPP was shared by some of the Democrats, led by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. His rival in the November 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton, initially supported the trade pact.
On Monday, Trump assembled chief executives of major US corporations at the White House and promised to lower the tax and regulatory burden on doing business within the country. His administration will be scrapping free trade in favor of fair trade, he said.
"The regulations are going to be cut massively, and the taxes will be cut with them," Trump said, warning that those who relocate factories will face a "substantial border tax."

What really happened with State Department resignations? (https://alethonews.wordpress.com/2017/01/27/those-resignations-what-really-happened-at-the-state-department/)

Victoria Nuland
Yesterday at the State Department five officials resigned or retired. Another one today.
The media has gone near-insane, claiming State is crumbling in protest under the Trump administration. This is not true. What happened at State is very routine.
Leaving the Department are head of the Management Bureau Pat Kennedy (http://wemeantwell.com/blog/?s=pat+kennedy), Assistant Secretary of State for Administration Joyce Anne Barr, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Michele Bond, Ambassador Gentry O. Smith, director of the Office of Foreign Missions, arms control official Tom Countryman, and Victoria Nuland (above).
Here’s the story:
— No one at the State Dept resigned in protest.
— No one was formally fired.
— Six people were transferred from or retired from political appointee positions. Technically those who did not retire can be considered to have “resigned,” but that is a routine HR/personnel term used, not some political statement. The six are career Foreign Service career personnel (FSOs) They previously left their FSO job to be appointed into political jobs and now have resigned those (or retired out of the State Department) to return to career FSO jobs. A circle. They are required to submit a letter of resignation as a matter of routine when a new president takes office.
— As for perspective: only one Under Secretary of State (Alan Larson) stayed through the transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush. It is routine for senior officials to leave or be reassigned.
— Several of the six are connected to the Clinton emails and/or Clinton’s handling of Benghazi. One of these people, Pat Kennedy, played a significant role in both, as well as many other controversial issues during Clinton’s term. Sources tell me that although officially Kennedy “retired,” he was more or less required to do so by the Trump administration.
— I have no information on the others, whether they were asked to retire, or just part of a reshuffling of positions and will routinely be reassigned. Most likely the latter, as such reshuffling is very common as administrations change. As everywhere in the government, the new administration fills its own political appointee slots.
— Some of the six will hit mandatory retirement age on January 31 anyway.
— Reports that these people represent “senior management” at State confuse terms. Because of the odd way State is organized, four of the six work in the Management Bureau (https://diplopundit.net/2017/01/26/patrick-kennedy-other-officials-step-down-yo-thats-not-the-entire-senior-management/), M in State talk. Kennedy was the head of the Bureau. The four play varying roles and collectively are not the senior management of the State Department. Two work in other parts of the Department (Countryman and Nuland) and are more directly tied to policies likely to change under the new administration.
— All six persons come from offices with a deep bench. It is highly unlikely that any of the work of the State Department will be impeded by any of these changes. Every office has a second, third, fourth, etc., person in charge who will step up pending formal replacements to be nominated and confirmed. This is all part of the standard transition process.
— As an example, I worked in the Bureau of Consular Affairs for most of my 24 years at State, including working with/for Michele Bond, one of the resignees. I personally know the people in the next rank below her, and all have equal experience and tenure as Bond. There will be no gap in experience or knowledge as some press reports have fretted. There will be no “void (https://www.yahoo.com/news/senior-diplomat-kennedy-served-dems-gop-stepping-down-204744665--politics.html).” A slightly more dire, but responsible take, here (https://diplopundit.net/2017/01/26/recipe-for-disaster-transition-statedept-situation-altnormal-all-****ed-up/).
— There will very likely be more, similar, “resignations” and reshuffling at State. New political appointees will bring in their own staff, for example. But unless and until an employee holds a press conference to announce s/he is resigning out of protest, the media should take care to calm down, verify facts, and report accurately.
— The Washington Post stated (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogin/wp/2017/01/26/the-state-departments-entire-senior-management-team-just-resigned/?utm_term=.3379941cd6ba) these changes were part of an “ongoing mass exodus of senior Foreign Service officers who don’t want to stick around for the Trump era.” I am not aware of any other noteworthy departures (two lesser officials left earlier this month in circumstances not clearly connected to Trump) and as stated above, the six did not resign in protest. Regardless, eight people in any context do not constitute a mass exodus.
— The Post article is, in my opinion, grossly alarming. It reflects a reporter apparently unfamiliar with transitions at State.

From Jim Stone (http://82.221.129.208/baasepages8.html):
TRUMP JUST SHUT GEORGE SOROS DOWN
He did it in an incredibly efficient way, without saying a word about Soros. This is how Trump will operate, and this is GOLDEN. Trump announced he is going to run for President in 2020. What does that mean? It means that he's now a candidate for 2020, which is something that has never been done before - no incumbent President has ever announced candidacy this early before, EVER.
What did this accomplish?
SOROS, who does everything with NGO's has been shut up, because it is illegal for any NGO or foundation to speak or act against a candidate because that is interference with an election. So they can only do it against a president, who is not a candidate. If he'd done this before the marches that took place, Soros would be toast even now.
So by stating he's a candidate this early, he has shut up Soros for 4 full years!
HA HA HA, that's a good one!
The details are HERE (https://mobile.twitter.com/resisterhood/status/825435325535252480) and keep in mind, this also badly stifles a lawsuit Soros is trying to push through with one of his foundations, which claims Trump should be impeached because he is receiving money from foreigners via rents paid on properties he owns. That is an obvious mis-application of the law, which now cannot be done with a foundation, Soros has to do it directly.

Mainstream media still calling for President Trump's assassination (https://www.intellihub.com/media-talking-heads-continue-to-call-for-president-trumps-murder/)

Despite the fact that Donald Trump is now the sitting president of the United States, multiple corporate media talking heads have continued to openly call for his actual assassination.
The latest stunning example comes in the form of a Tweet put out by author and Sunday Times columnist India Knight in which she publicly whines about the fact that the assassination of the American president is apparently taking too long for her liking.
The assassination is taking such a long time.
— India Knight (@indiaknight) January 28, 2017 (https://twitter.com/indiaknight/status/825137748013092864) As Breitbart reported (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/01/29/times-journo-calls-for-assassination-of-president-trump/), "During a days-long invective against the newly inaugurated President, on Twitter in which Knight called Mr Trump a "moron (https://twitter.com/indiaknight/status/825045796815044609)", "mad (https://twitter.com/indiaknight/status/824567908114243585)", "needy (https://twitter.com/indiaknight/status/824568708500779009)", and an "arse (https://twitter.com/indiaknight/status/825046481266700288)", among other things, before telling him to "shut up", she mused "the assassination is taking such a long time."
Knight also seems to be proud of her message promoting murder as she hasn't taken it down nor has she apologized despite multiple Twitter users calling her out.
Comment: Facing pressure, Knight has since taken the Tweet down and issued this statement:
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/804723009726611456/YcEXzCi8_bigger.jpg India Knight Verified account @indiaknight (https://twitter.com/indiaknight)
Right. I have deleted the offending tweet, which was a joke in very bad taste, and which I unreservedly apologise for.
3:40 AM - 30 Jan 2017
Unfortunately, this is not even the first public corporate media call for Trump's assassination this week as the editor and publisher of the German newspaper Die Zeit, Josef Joffe, also recently floated the idea of murder as a means to stop Trump's anti-globalist agenda.
During a segment which features callers, Joffe interrupted another guest who was responding to a question about impeaching Trump by saying, "Mord im Weißen Haus zum Beispiel," or "murder in the White House for example."
Additionally, before the inauguration, many in the alternative media wondered if the CIA itself was going to assassinate the incoming president, especially after new Senate minority leader Charles Schumer literally warned Trump (https://www.intellihub.com/senate-minority-leader-gleefully-warns-trump-that-cia-will-go-after-him/) that the Central Intelligence Agency was coming after him.
"It isn't just that Donald Trump routinely thumbs his nose at the establishment, insults media figures he sees as unfair and bucks conventional wisdom," wrote (https://www.intellihub.com/will-the-cia-assassinate-trump-shadow-government-looks-to-take-back-control/) Mac Slavo.
"It is that President-elect Trump is defying the will of the deep state, military industrial complex base of ultimate power in the United States. That is why he is treading dangerous waters, and risks the fate of JFK."
Slavo went on to detail the fact that Trump seems to actually be conducting the business of the presidency as if he were the man in charge, rather than looking to the establishment and their deep state bosses for guidance on key issues as every president since Kennedy has.
"It is one thing to play captain, but another to imagine that you steer the ship. They are happy for Trump to take all the prestige and privileges of the office; but not for him to cut into the big business of foreign conflict, the undercurrent of all American affairs, the dealings in death, drugs, oil and weapons, and the control of people through a manipulation of these affairs," Slavo continued.
"If President Trump takes his rogue populism too far, he will suffer the wrath of the same people who took out Kennedy... there are some things that are not tolerated by those who are really in charge."
One can imagine that these public calls for Trump's death by people within the corporate media are yet more signals to the deep state that it is time to take him out. It is up to the American people to not only expose these disgusting calls for murder, but also hold those that make them accountable by boycotting the publications who pay them.

The Neocons and the “deep state” have neutered the Trump Presidency, it’s over folks! (http://thesaker.is/the-neocons-and-the-deep-state-have-neutered-the-trump-presidency-its-over-folks/)
The Saker February 14, 2017
http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Selection_005-622x250_c.png
Less than a month ago I warned that a ‘color revolution ‘ was taking place in the USA (http://thesaker.is/a-color-revolution-is-under-way-in-the-united-states/). My first element of proof was the so-called “investigation” which the CIA, FBI, NSA and others were conducting against President Trump’s candidate to become National Security Advisor, General Flynn. Tonight, the plot to get rid of Flynn has finally succeeded and General Flynn had to offer his resignation (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38965557). Trump accepted it.
Now let’s immediately get one thing out of the way: Flynn was hardly a saint or a perfect wise man who would single handedly saved the world. That he was not. However, what Flynn was is the cornerstone of Trump’s national security policy. For one thing, Flynn dared the unthinkable: he dared to declare that the bloated US intelligence community had to be reformed. Flynn also tried to subordinate the CIA and the Joint Chiefs to the President via the National Security Council. Put differently, Flynn tried to wrestle the ultimate power and authority from the CIA and the Pentagon and subordinate them back to the White House. Flynn also wanted to work with Russia. Not because he was a Russia lover, the notion of a Director of the DIA as a Putin-fan is ridiculous, but Flynn was rational, he understood that Russia was no threat to the USA or to Europe and that Russia and the West had common interests. That is another absolutely unforgivable crimethink in Washington DC.
The Neocon-run ‘deep state’ has now forced Flynn to resign under the idiotic pretext that he had a telephone conversation, on an open, insecure and clearly monitored, line with the Russian ambassador.
And Trump accepted this resignation.
Ever since Trump made it to the White House, he has taken blow after blow from the Neocon-run Ziomedia, from Congress, from all the Hollywood doubleplusgoodthinking “stars” and even from European politicians. And Trump took each blow without ever fighting back. Nowhere was his famous “you are fired!” to be seen. But I still had hope. I wanted to hope. I felt that it was my duty to hope.
But now Trump has betrayed us all.
Remember how Obama showed his true face when he hypocritically denounced his friend and pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. (https://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/14/obama-condemns-pastors-statements/)? Today, Trump has shown us his true face. Instead of refusing Flynn’s resignation and instead of firing those who dared cook up these ridiculous accusations against Flynn, Trump accepted the resignation. This is not only an act of abject cowardice, it is also an amazingly stupid and self-defeating betrayal because now Trump will be alone, completely alone, facing the likes of Mattis and Pence – hard Cold Warrior types, ideological to the core, folks who want war and simply don’t care about reality.
Again, Flynn was not my hero. But he was, by all accounts, Trump’s hero. And Trump betrayed him.
The consequences of this will be immense. For one thing, Trump is now clearly broken. It took the ‘deep state’ only weeks to castrate Trump and to make him bow to the powers that be. Those who would have stood behind Trump will now feel that he will not stand behind them and they will all move back away from him. The Neocons will feel elated by the elimination of their worst enemy and emboldened by this victory they will push on, doubling-down over and over and over again.
It’s over, folks, the deep state has won.
From now on, Trump will become the proverbial shabbos-goy, the errand boy of the Israel lobby. Hassan Nasrallah was right when he called him ‘an idiot (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/224872)‘.
The Chinese and Iranian will openly laugh. The Russians won’t – they will be polite, they will smile, and try to see if some common sense policies can still be salvaged from this disaster. Some might. But any dream of a partnership between Russia and the United States has died tonight.
The EU leaders will, of course, celebrate. Trump was nowhere the scary bogeyman they feared. Turns out that he is a doormat – very good for the EU.
Where does all this leave us – the millions of anonymous ‘deplorables’ who try as best we can to resist imperialism, war, violence and injustice?
I think that we were right in our hopes because that is all we had – hopes. No expectations, just hopes. But now we objectively have very little reasons left to hope. For one thing, the Washington ‘swamp’ will not be drained. If anything, the swamp has triumphed. We can only find some degree of solace in two undeniable facts:
Hillary would have been far worse than any version of a Trump Presidency.
In order to defeat Trump, the US deep state has had to terribly weaken the US and the AngloZionist Empire. Just like Erdogan’ purges have left the Turkish military in shambles, the anti-Trump ‘color revolution’ has inflicted terrible damage on the reputation, authority and even credibility of the USA.
The first one is obvious. So let me clarify the second one. In their hate-filled rage against Trump and the American people (aka “the basket of deplorables”) the Neocons have had to show they true face. By their rejection of the outcome of the elections, by their riots, their demonization of Trump, the Neocons have shown two crucial things: first, that the US democracy is a sad joke and that they, the Neocons, are an occupation regime which rules against the will of the American people. In other words, just like Israel, the USA has no legitimacy left. And since, just like Israel, the USA are unable to frighten their enemies, they are basically left with nothing, no legitimacy, no ability to coerce. So yes, the Neocons have won. But their victory removes the last chance for the US to avoid a collapse.
Trump, for all his faults, did favor the US, as a country, over the global Empire. Trump was also acutely aware that ‘more of the same’ was not an option. He wanted policies commensurate with the actual capabilities of the USA. With Flynn gone and the Neocons back in full control – this is over. Now we are going to be right back to ideology over reality.
Trump probably could have made America, well, maybe not “great again”, but at least stronger, a major world power which could negotiate and use its leverage to get the best deal possible from the others. That’s over now. With Trump broken, Russia and China will go right back to their pre-Trump stance: a firm resistance backed by a willingness and capability to confront and defeat the USA at any level.
I am quite sure that nobody today is celebrating in the Kremlin. Putin, Lavrov and the others surely understand exactly what happened. It is as if Khodorkovsy would have succeeded in breaking Putin in 2003. In fact, I have to credit Russian analysts who for several weeks already have been comparing Trump to Yanukovich, who also was elected by a majority of the people and who failed to show the resolve needed to stop the ‘color revolution’ started against him. But if Trump is the new Yanukovich, will the US become the next Ukraine?
Flynn was very much the cornerstone of the hoped-for Trump foreign policy. There was a real chance that he would reign in the huge, bloated and all-powerful three letter agencies and that he would focus US power against the real enemy of the West: the Wahabis. With Flynn gone, this entire conceptual edifice has now come down. We are going to be left with the likes of Mattis and his anti-Iranian statements. Clowns who only impress other clowns.
Today's Neocon victory is a huge event and it will probably be completely misrepresented by the official media. Ironically, Trump supporters will also try to minimize it all. But the reality is that barring a most unlikely last-minute miracle, it’s over for Trump and the hopes of millions of people in the USA and the rest of the world who had hoped that the Neocons could be booted out of power by means of a peaceful election. That is clearly not going to happen.
I see very dark clouds on the horizon.

Herve I've now lost the wind in my sails and I'm looking to pull into port.
Damn that was some depressing sh!t.
They got rid of Flynn over an inconsequential conversation Flynn had with a Russian diplomant. Now if that ain't some bullsh!t.
Screw that I'm gonna go listen to some David Wilcock, all this truth is giving me a headache, I'm going to listen to Wilcock while posting pictures of Joy Villa. Because we need some good news.

.... Flynn also tried to subordinate the CIA and the Joint Chiefs to the President via the National Security Council. Put differently, Flynn tried to wrestle the ultimate power and authority from the CIA and the Pentagon and subordinate them back to the White House...
I'm curious what information from where convinced you Flynn did this. What is your understanding of exactly how he tried "to wrestle the ultimate power and authority from the CIA"? Thank you.
Everyone seems so quick to resign to a doom wagon of their own projection unwilling to choose the 'it's not over until it's over' perspective. The fight has just begun and there's a long way to go likely full of lots of win-some's and lose-some's.

As for Flynn v.s intelligence agencies, just Google "Flynn, CIA reform" to your own satisfaction...

Trump rolled up his sleeves and got started on shaking up the tree...
President Trump signals legal action against intelligence leakers undermining his Presidency (http://theduran.com/president-trump-signals-actions-intelligence-leakers/)
Alexander Mercouris
The Duran (http://theduran.com/president-trump-signals-actions-intelligence-leakers/) Thu, 16 Feb 2017 21:23 UTC
https://www.sott.net/image/s18/378302/large/flynn_3.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s18/378302/full/flynn_3.jpg)
In a succession of tweets President Trump hints that a criminal investigation will shortly be launched to track down and punish the leakers who published classified information in order to bring General Flynn down.
US President Trump - as I speculated yesterday he might do (http://theduran.com/general-flynns-accusers-broke-law/) - has signaled today that a leak investigation will be launched to track down and punish the leakers from within the US intelligence community who have been working overtime since before he was elected to undermine and delegitimise him.
That this is so is confirmed in a series of tweets President Trump has published today (here (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/832238070460186625), here (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/832230758299340800), here (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/832198588201594880), and here (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/832197515248275456))
The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story - RUSSIA. Fake news!
FAKE NEWS media, which makes up stories and "sources," is far more effective than the discredited Democrats - but they are fading fast!
The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! They will be caught!
Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (https://twitter.com/nytimes) (and others) must apologize! (bold italics added)
President Trump's reference to The New York Times refers to a preposterous non-story (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/politics/russia-intelligence-communications-trump.html?mtrref=www.theguardian.com&gwh=AA5511E2580F3CD065B8FEE6FFBDD1D5&gwt=pay) which it published yesterday in which on the strength of information provided by our old friends the 'anonymous current and retired officials' it spoke luridly of US intelligence 'detecting contacts' between Russian intelligence agents and people close to Donald Trump during the early stages of the US Presidential election campaign last year.
Since The New York Times admits that nothing untoward was discovered happening during these contacts, that some of these contacts appeared to concern straightforward business transactions, that some of the people close to Trump who were engaged in these contacts were not members of his campaign, and that it is far from clear whether they were even aware that the people they were dealing with had been identified by the US intelligence community as Russian intelligence agents, it is difficult to see anything meaningful in this story, a variant of which (http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/donald-trump-aides-russians-campaign/index.html) was also published by CNN.
Since The New York Times story does not report news it cannot be considered proper news reporting. Rather it looks like an attempt to lend colour to the paranoid but now widespread claim that General Flynn's telephone conversations with Russian ambassador Kislyak were part of some vast sinister web of secret contacts between the Russians and Donald Trump's campaign.
The fact that there was nothing secret about Flynn's conversations with Kislyak, that Flynn apparently said nothing inappropriate (http://theduran.com/first-defeat-donald-trump-michael-flynn-resigns/)during his conversations with Kislyak, and that Flynn and Kislyak would undoubtedly have known that US intelligence was listening to what they were saying to each other, is sufficient to show the total absurdity of this claim.
I will here express my dismay that The New York Times - a once great newspaper - is lending its authority to it.
Putting that aside, the way in which classified information was used by members of the US intelligence community to destroy General Flynn has (finally!) led to public expressions of alarm even on the part of some in the establishment media at the way the campaign against Donald Trump is being conducted.
In addition to the article (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-02-14/the-political-assassination-of-michael-flynn) in Bloomberg by Eli Lake which I discussed previously, there is also for example this article (http://theweek.com/articles/680068/americas-spies-anonymously-took-down-michael-flynn-that-deeply-worrying) by Damon Linker in The Week:
The United States is much better off without Michael Flynn serving as national security adviser. But no one should be cheering the way he was brought down.
The whole episode is evidence of the precipitous and ongoing collapse of America's democratic institutions — not a sign of their resiliency. Flynn's ouster was a soft coup (or political assassination (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-02-14/the-political-assassination-of-michael-flynn?utm_campaign=buffer&utm_content=buffere4d72&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com)) engineered by anonymous intelligence community bureaucrats. The results might be salutary, but this isn't the way a liberal democracy is supposed to function.
Unelected intelligence analysts work for the president, not the other way around. Far too many Trump critics appear not to care that these intelligence agents leaked highly sensitive information to the press — mostly because Trump critics are pleased with the result. "Finally," they say, "someone took a stand to expose collusion between the Russians and a senior aide to the president!" It is indeed important that someone took such a stand. But it matters greatly who that someone is and how they take their stand. Members of the unelected, unaccountable intelligence community are not the right someone, especially when they target a senior aide to the president by leaking anonymously to newspapers (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/national-security-adviser-flynn-discussed-sanctions-with-russian-ambassador-despite-denials-officials-say/2017/02/09/f85b29d6-ee11-11e6-b4ff-ac2cf509efe5_story.html?utm_term=.a12b79f7b300) the content of classified phone intercepts, where the unverified, unsubstantiated information can inflict politically fatal damage almost instantaneously......
.......no matter what Flynn did, it is simply not the role of the deep state to target a man working in one of the political branches of the government by dishing to reporters about information it has gathered clandestinely. It is the role of elected members of Congress to conduct public investigations of alleged wrongdoing by public officials.....
In a liberal democracy, how things happen is often as important as what happens. Procedures matter. So do rules and public accountability. The chaotic, dysfunctional Trump White House is placing the entire system under enormous strain. That's bad. But the answer isn't to counter it with equally irregular acts of sabotage — or with a disinformation campaign waged by nameless civil servants toiling away in the surveillance state.....
Those cheering the deep state torpedoing of Flynn are saying, in effect, that a police state is perfectly fine so long as it helps to bring down Trump.
It is the role of Congress to investigate the president and those who work for him. If Congress resists doing its duty, out of a mixture of self-interest and cowardice, the American people have no choice but to try and hold the government's feet to the fire, demanding action with phone calls, protests, and, ultimately, votes. That is a democratic response to the failure of democracy.
Sitting back and letting shadowy, unaccountable agents of espionage do the job for us simply isn't an acceptable alternative.
Down that path lies the end of democracy in America. Even in militantly anti-Trump Britain there are now expressions of concern. The most powerful is by Julie Lenarz in an article (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/15/no-donald-trump-fan-should-think-twice-celebrating-michael-flynns/)in the rigidly pro-establishment Daily Telegraph:
Flynn's orchestrated downfall by unaccountable, shadowy agents entrusted with the country's most sensitive secrets is not just bad news for the Trump administration. It raises serious concerns over the democratic nature of the US political system.
This is not how a liberal democracy is meant to function. You may be right in thinking that Michael Flynn was a disastrous choice as National Security adviser and that his questionable ties to high-ranking Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin and Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak, are compelling enough to withdraw confidence in him....
And you may be right in thinking that we are all safer without him walking the corridors of the White House. But the end does not justify the means. It was not the place of unelected members of the intelligence community to leak highly sensitive information to the public to bring down an official, a member of a democratically elected government, because he was deemed unqualified and undesirable by them.....
.....it matters, a great deal, who is holding the government accountable and how it is being done. In a liberal democracy there are proper procedures in place. It is the role of elected officials, members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, to investigate the government for breaking the law and endangering national security.
The leaking of highly sensitive material by an unelected agent to bring down an official of the government is an unprecedented breach of trust that must be unequivocally condemned. If liberal democracy means anything, regardless of political orientation, the engineered political assassination of Flynn must be denounced by Trump critics and supporters alike. And if this happened in any other country - or to any other president - we would see it as symptomatic of a decline of democracy and a corruption of the security apparatus.
The rise of the deep state cannot be the answer to bringing down the Trump administration, no matter how critical you may be of the government and its conduct. That would be a dangerous drift towards a police state not worthy of the land of the free. As I wrote yesterday, the flagrant illegality of the way in which General Flynn's downfall was brought about has given the President the handle he needs (http://theduran.com/general-flynns-accusers-broke-law/) to act against those in the US intelligence community who have been working to undermine him. His comment in his tweets today - "they will be caught!' - suggests he intends to use it. With Jeff Sessions now confirmed as Attorney General there is nothing obvious which can stop him.
I would make one final point. It is interesting that since the inauguration many of the leaks have come not just from serving US officials but from "retired" officials as well.
That all but confirms that some former officials of the Obama administration are actively involved in the campaign to undermine the new President. Presumably they are people who had access to the classified information which is now being leaked, which suggests that they held senior positions in the previous administration.
It will be very interesting to find out who they are. Perhaps as a result of the investigation President Trump is hinting at we will find out.

Trump does something right! Very good press conference today
The Saker February 16, 2017
After a few rather disappointing days, Trump today seem to rebound. He had a press conference which I would qualify as very successful. The best thing about this was that Trump FINALLY directly attacked the media, especially CNN. Hopefully, this will be just the first step in an always possible counter-offensive. Tomorrow he will be in Melbourne, FL, just south of were I live. I will be watching that with interest.
Here is his press conference:

Trump, Watergate, Nixon, Rockefeller: the real lesson (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/trump-watergate-nixon-rockefeller-the-real-lesson/)
By Jon Rappoport (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/author/jonrappoport/) Feb 22 (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/trump-watergate-nixon-rockefeller-the-real-lesson/), 2017
Watergate eventually became the story of two young rookie reporters who exposed and took down a president. Nixon.
Try to think of another major story in your lifetime where the reporters themselves took center stage, and in the process nearly eclipsed their own work. Odd.
One of them, Bob Woodward, expanded his fame. The powers-that-be permitted him to go on and, with extraordinary access, write books criticizing future presidents. Woodward became the in-house attack dog. Mr. Limited Hangout.
The other reporter, Carl Bernstein, faded into relative obscurity. Well, after all, he began exposing many journalists’ connections to the CIA. That wasn’t a productive career move. It was, perhaps, a case of him biting the CIA hand that, without his knowledge, had fed him during his Watergate investigation.
What Woodward and Bernstein didn’t know, during Watergate, was this: On the mega-corporate front, the Rockefeller proposal for world control—“free trade, no tariffs”—was advancing toward fruition, and Richard Nixon was standing in the way.
This man, a crook, a president, a liar, an insecure parody of a head of state, Richard Nixon, had gone off script. He had REALLY gone off script.
In an effort to bolster US companies and protect them from foreign competition inside the United States, Nixon began erecting tariffs on a range of goods imported into the US.
If this Nixon economic plan spread to other countries, the entire global program to install “free trade” and mega-corporate emperors on their thrones for a thousand years could crash and burn.
Nixon was a Rockefeller man. He was owned by them. He’d been rescued from financial ruin by The Family, and now he was in the White House undermining their greatest dream. You can’t overstate the degree of the betrayal, from the Rockefeller point of view. You simply can’t.
Something had to be done. The president had to go. This was the real motivation behind Watergate. This was the real op. Yes, there were sub-motives and smaller contexts, as in any major op, but the prime mover was: get Free Trade back on track, and get suitable revenge on the puppet in the White House who went off the script.
Any historian who overlooks this is an outright fool or a deceiver.
Whether the Watergate break-in was planned to serve the higher goal or was pounced upon, after the fact, as the grand opportunity, is beside the point. It was there, and it was used. It became the starting point for the Washington Post, its publisher, veteran editor, and two cub reporters to break Richard Nixon into pieces.
And if the Rockefeller people needed an inside man at the White House to report on the deteriorating mental state of the president as he heated up in the pressure cooker, they had Henry Kissinger, who was another Rockefeller operative.
The Washington Post was owned by Katharine Graham, who was herself a very close friend of the Rockefeller Family. Years later, she would be awarded a medal of honor by the University of Chicago, an institution founded by John D. Rockefeller. On her death, a paid heartfelt obituary was inserted in the NY Times by the trustees, faculty, and staff of Rockefeller University, where she had served on the University Council.
And she and Nixon already hated each other by the early 1970s.
The managing editor of the Washington Post, Ben Bradlee, was an old hand at writing promotional material, having worked in Europe crafting releases for a CIA front group. A former Naval intelligence man, he liked one of his cub reporters, Bob Woodward, who had also worked for the Navy in intelligence.
When Woodward came to Bradlee with a story about a man in a parking garage who was passing secrets from the White House/FBI about Watergate, we are supposed to believe that Bradlee naturally responded by giving the green light to a major investigation. Woodward and Carl Bernstein, another cub, would undertake it—with nothing more than Bradlee’s reputation and the future survival of the Post and Katharine Graham’s empire on the line if the cubs got it wrong.
We are supposed to believe Bradlee gave the green light, without knowing who the man in the garage was, without knowing whether Woodward could be trusted, without even getting permission from Graham to move ahead.
Bradlee, a grizzled veteran of Washington, understanding exactly what Washington could do to people who told secrets out of school, just said to Woodward and Bernstein, “You’d better be damned sure you’re right, because otherwise we’re all in trouble.”
Two untested cub reporters set loose in a cage with tigers.
The odds of that happening were nil. Bradlee had to know a great deal from the beginning, and he had to have Katharine Graham’s signal to move. The series of breaking stories would be spoon-fed to the unsuspecting young reporters. They would be consumed by their ambition to advance their careers. Bradlee was confident because he had the essentials of the scandal in hand—all the way up to Nixon, the target—well in advance of his two reporters.
To have proceeded otherwise—Bradlee was simply not that kind of fool. Whatever Deep Throat, the man in the garage, was dishing out to Woodward didn’t really matter. Bradlee already had it in his pocket. Deep Throat was merely a contrivance to allow the story to expand and grow by steps, and to permit Woodward and Bernstein to believe they were peeling layers from an onion.
The man behind the curtain was David Rockefeller.
After the whole scandal had been exposed and Nixon had flown away, in disgrace, from the White House for the last time, David Rockefeller addressed a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the European Community (October, 1975). He was there to allay their fears about Nixon’s betrayal of the new economic world order. There was really very little he needed to say. David had already created (1973) the free-trade Trilateral Commission, an exceedingly powerful force. And a new puppet, Gerald Ford was in the White House; and Ford had appointed David’s brother, Nelson Rockefeller, as his vice president.
David told the European attendees, “Fortunately, there are no signs that these anti-[free] trade measures [of Nixon] are supported by the [Ford] Administration.”
And that was that. The global mega-corporate colossus was back on track.
The temporary rip in the Matrix had been repaired.
On a far lower level of power politics, everyone and his brother were consumed with the contrails of the scandal that had driven away Nixon and his colleagues. People were congratulating each other on the expunging of a corrupt conspiracy from public life.
The real players, of course, were still in place, stronger than ever. David Rockefeller and his aides were preparing for an even greater coup. They had chosen an obscure man with zero name recognition to be the next president of the United States. Jimmy Carter. Carter would function to forward the goals of the Trilateral Commission in bold view of anyone who knew the score.
And every president since Carter, regardless of party affiliation, has supported and extended those Globalist-corporate goals. No questions asked. Obama, who fatuously remarked during his 2008 election campaign that NAFTA “needs to be revisited,” has taken his cues like any other puppet.
When, from this perspective, you examine the global takeover of land and resources by GMO agribusiness, the destruction of small family farms, the plundering of natural resources in the Third World, the use of UN “peacekeepers” and “humanitarian groups” and intelligence agencies to create a wedge, for corporations, into these areas, you see the hand of the Rockefeller plan.
When you see the destruction of currencies and the escalation of insupportable debt, the incursion of a bewildering number of UN-affiliated groups sinking their teeth into local communities all over the planet to “manage sustainable development,” you see the plan.
And when you see “free trade” and no tariffs, you see the essentials nuts and bolts of the plan.
The innocuous-sounding “free trade” policy is the number-one priority of every American president. He must do two things: rarely speak of it, and allow it to move forward. That’s all. In return, he gets to act as if he’s the most powerful man in the world.
But if he wobbles and considers taking up a position against free trade (corporate domination of the planet), he can look back and see what happened to Richard Nixon. He can learn from that example.
He can re-learn the famous words of Zbiggie Brzezinski, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission and David Rockefeller’s intellectual flunkey:
“The nation state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.”
Like Jimmy Carter, a president can espouse the most wide-ranging humanitarian philosophy and ascend to a cloud of beautiful altruism, admired by all. As long as he sticks to the plan.
If not, agents and reporters coming out of nowhere will try to demolish him.
—Suddenly, a swaggering, self-congratulatory, fast-talking cowboy named Donald Trump appeared as a presidential candidate. And lo and behold, he attacked Globalism by name. He claimed he would dump it in favor of American nationalism. He repeated this oath many times. And he won the election, unseating a lifelong Globalist named Hillary Clinton.
Whether Trump intends on keeping his promises and going up against the Rockefeller colossus, he has spoken of that which must not be uttered in public: the crimes of Globalism and free trade.
He has let the secret cat out of the bag. He has made people aware…
And for that, he must be punished.
What people are calling the Deep State is the collection of agents who are committed to the Rockefeller plan. They, and their media flunkeys, are swinging for the fences every time they mention Trump. They are doing everything they can to take him down.
***From their perspective, they are launching another Watergate-type operation against another Nixon in the White House.
Another time, “another Nixon”; same basic op.
—In order to protect the titanic, Globalist, corporate control of planet Earth.
This time, the rhetoric and the sentiment for nationalism and against Globalism has already spread across the world. It is percolating and boiling in many places.
Putting the lid back on is a herculean task. Therefore, the agents and reporters are doubling and tripling down on Trump. Even if he turns out to be no more than a symbol of anti-Globalism, they are determined to crush him.
They have their marching orders.
Mere blocks away from the Oval Office, the Community Organizer in Chief, after serving eight years in the White House, is now setting up a parallel presidency, with 30,000 ground-and-pound Leftist dupes at his disposal—all for the purpose of taking down Donald Trump.
You can bet Obama’s bosses have reminded him that he failed at his most important task: shepherding through the free-trade Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty. They intend to collect on their investment. They put him, a no-name, in charge of the nation, in 2008, and he is still their agent. They want results.
Soon.
They want a 2017 version of Watergate.
Jon Rappoport
=======================================
The Rockefeller plan can be summarized as : "Eliminate any and all competition, by any means."
That's best described by John Perkins' "Economic Hitman" (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?25102-For-an-idea-on-the-big-picture&p=262218&viewfull=1#post262218) With Guatemala and "United Fruit" or the insane production quotas (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?25102-For-an-idea-on-the-big-picture&p=261690&viewfull=1#post261690) imposed on the Soviets to bring down Argentina's and other nations' industries... with the accompanying sufferings.
Was all of that unleashed because those competitors were people-oriented and not satanists? If that were the case, then this article (http://thesaker.is/general-reshetnikov-return-to-the-empire-superbly-controversial-interview/) (<---) would make much more sense and would not be such a high octane speculation when considering Albert Pike's "World War III."

I have been talking to a number of people including Alex Jones, Cynthia McKinney and others, and I clearly see the outlines of the final push to impeach Donald Trump and drive him out of office. This assault on democracy, freedom, and liberty is pursuing three tracks:
TRACK ONE (CENSORSHIP):
Eric Schmidt is organizing a massive censorship and propaganda program behind the scenes. AdRoll has just illegally and without due process deprived Alex Jones of over $3M a year in ad revenue by asserting, without evidence and without legal process (and in violation of existing contracts) that Alex Jones is a purveyor of fake news that also targets demographic segments and slanders politicians. I have recommended to Alex that he engage Brendan Sullivan and Danny Sheehan and roll out an immediate $1 billion lawsuit against AdRoll and its co-conspirators Facebook, Google, Redditt, Twitter, YouTube, and Wikipedia. This is the softest of the three tracks
https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_images/soros98.jpeg
TRACK TWO (A VIOLENT "AMERICAN SPRING"):
George Soros is leading a massively funded effort to put a mix of paid and uninformed protestors into the streets beginning around 20 March -- tens of thousands across the country, augmented by agitators dressed in black and causing property damage, as well as mercenaries who will shoot police officers dead and strive to blame it on Black Lives Matters and other innocents. This will culminate in a massive 3 million person march on Washington that will trash the city and seek to drive Donald Trump from office if he cannot be successfully impeached.
TRACK THREE (IMPEACHMENT OR RESIGNATION):
The Mainstream Media (MSM) -- the fake news media controlled by the Rothschilds, Wall Street, and the CIA as well as the Zionists and the Saudis -- has begun to speak of treason and impeachment in relation to Donald Trump. The US secret intelligence community, notably the rogue elements at NSA and CIA that have spied with impunity on US politicians and then turned around to blackmail them (at the same time that Wall Street, the Zionists, and the Saudis bribe them), is drawing together more fake evidence that Russia "owns" Donald Trump. Impeachment proceedings are likely to begin before 1 May, the intent being to drive Trump to resign, elevate Mike Pence who in all probability has cut a deal with the globalists and the two-party tyranny that serves the globalists, and reset the two-party tyranny, destroying our one hope at liberty in this generation. Hats off to Cynthia McKinney for flagging the below video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNARIrqQ9oE), [which shows an "ex Mossad agent pushing the fake "Russia Owns Trump" narrative."]
What Is To Be Done?
I can save the Trump presidency but he has to hear the message and be ready to act on it. As best I can tell Steve Bannon has the memorandum and has probably tried to get the President to read it. Beyond that I do not know. Our President -- our legitimately elected President is now being attacked from all sides -- has two weeks to think about and act on my suggestions. I have done all any citizen-patriot could do. I speak only the truth, with the best of intentions. Donald Trump is in enemy hands. Steve Bannon has a couple of days to make get the President to focus. I pray he succeeds.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT (http://tinyurl.com/Memo4Trump) (from Steele)
WARNING: You have 30 days to settle the country. A violent "American Spring" looms.
You are under attack on three fronts:
The Extreme Left & the controlled "fake news" MSM, US Neo-Conservatives led by Dick Cheney, funded by foreigners The Deep State of entrenched senior officials combined with Senators and Representatives being blackmailed and bribed to betray the Republic. You are not under attack from Iran or Russia - all your existential fights are right here.
There are four things you need to do immediately in order to survive:
Our President, Under Siege! Switch out Preibus and Flynn -- smart choices for the transition, they are undermining you now, Tillerson and Mattis probably agree they both need to go.
You need a loyal Chief of Staff who can manage complexity, and a National Strategy Advisor with balance. Introduce the Electoral Reform Act of 2017 and demand that it go through - this is the only way you will survive the looming demise of the Republican Party; the only way you legitimize your accidental 27% presidency with a majority of the public; and the only way you free Members from foreign and financial community bribery and blackmail.
Create the non-profit educational Trump Channel backed up by an Open Source Agency. Clear the existing press area in the White House, turn that into Trump Studios, and offer a daily fireside chat as well as short daily briefs by your principals in turn on each threat, each policy, each budget - bypass the fake news media, educate the public, and use PollMole to see what 200 million think on a Presidential Dashboard.
[B]Unleash the FBI, with NSA support, against the Deep State. You may have already started this, the Republican and Democratic Party pedophiles are the Achilles heel. We can isolate 500 other embedded traitors (financial, religious, ideological) in 90 days. There are four things you can do to be the greatest President in modern history.
https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_images/download%20%2892%29.jpeg
Diversify your senior team - adding Cynthia McKinney and Dennis Kucinich - and Ralph Nader and Jesse Ventura in some capacity - will strangle the extreme left and open up the middle. Take your diversified team on the road - 50 states in 30 days. Organize a Grand Strategy Summit, televised for public consumption - the ultimate reality show. The last one was done in 1953 by Ike Eisenhower.
Address all high level threats and all Cabinet policy domains in context of achieving a balanced budget. Organize a Revenue Summit, televised for public consumption, in which you invite Dr. Edgar Feige of Wisconsin to brief his idea of an Automated Payment Transaction Tax that allows you to eliminate all other taxes, especially income taxes.
This fractional tax puts the tiny burden where it should be: on Wall Street instead of Main Street. Allow the public to scrutinize the alternatives you have been considering. You will be a hero. Invite every citizen in debt to sign a Debt Renunciation Pledge on a non-profit website, authorizing you to negotiate, on their behalf, a reduction of the three trillion dollars in student debt, elderly medical debt, and small business and family credit card debt. This will connect you to 150 million or more citizens and empower you against Wall Street. Background: Former CIA Spy Has A Surprising Message For Trump
uPDATE 1: The President made a huge mistake with McMaster, who is over-rated and has no idea that nine of the ten high-level threats to humanity are not military.
UPDATE 3: Trump has the memo, Bannon is fighting it, Preibus is gone (just a matter of when, I recommend that all the changes be announced at the same time).
UPDATE 6: Bannon is destroying Trump. Nothing wrong with fulfilling promises to the 27% that voted for Trump but ignoring the 26% that hate him and the 47% that did not vote; ignoring the imminent demise of the Republican Party and failing to build the Trump base beyond the two-party tyranny; and ignoring the three-part campaign by the Deep State, Clinton left and Cheney right to destroy Donald Trump is sheer idiocy.
Bannon needs to be kicked out of the White House and put on the road to the base while adults help Trump deal with the whole and take down the State. If Trump does not get a grip on the eight points in the Memorandum, he is toast by 2018 and perhaps as early as May Day 2017.
NOTE: Judas Preibus received the 10-Page Message in mid-December, in time to make the Inauguration Address a Unity Address focused on unrigging the system. Judas Preibus is committed to stopping Donald Trump from unrigging the system, he did not deliver the memorandum to the President.

I hate reading something I "don't want to imagine as possible"... maybe I could say "sadly seems quite possible."

Steele: "Trump is in Enemy Hands" (https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/02/Steele-trump-in-enemy-hands%20.html)
By Robert David Steele February 23, 2017
.....
Hmmm... having second thoughts about Mr. Steele. Seen a lot of him during and since the election. On one hand seemed to be saying a lot of right things but seems to be really ramping up intensity now. Wondering if he set the stage for a future role in an agenda. Funny thing about this 'warning' is that it's the exact pattern we've seen countless times before of a so called warning actually being a promotion of what he's supposedly warning about. It's THE tool of psy-ops.
Step Two is to take this show on the road and repeat repeat repeat - "there WILL be blah blah blah..."
On Alex Jones a day or so ago no matter what Alex tried to ask him and change the conversation direction to something else, he literally repeated his agenda over and over and over.
Not that he isn't partially right about Trump's enemies, but it especially feels like a extra push for civil unrest.
I'm stepping back and watching his so called messages with this in mind now. His 'warnings' are exactly what the left would want to happen and the best effort to help try to make it happen is to define it and repeat it, and he's gathered a large audience watching, reposting and repeating him now too.

The Clinton system to discredit Donald Trump (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195455.html)
by Thierry Meyssan | Voltaire Network | Damascus (Syria) | 28 February 2017 http://www.voltairenet.org/squelettes/elements/images/ligne-rouge.gif
عربي (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195456.html) Español (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195454.html) فارسى (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195457.html) français (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195437.html) Deutsch (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195462.html) русский (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195463.html) Português (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195475.html) ελληνικά (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195476.html) Türkçe (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195477.html) norsk (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195515.html)
This article is a warning - in November 2016, a vast system of agitation and propaganda was set up in order to destroy the reputation and the authority of President Donald Trump as soon as he arrived in the White House. It is the first time that such a campaign has been scientifically organised against a President of the United States, and with such resources. Yes, we are indeed entering a post-Truth age, but the distribution of rôles is not what you may think it is.
http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L400xH300/195437-4d2b6.jpg
David Brock is considered to be one of the masters of agit-prop (agitation & propaganda) in the 21st century. A personality devoid of scruples, he is able to defend a cause as well as destroy it, according to the needs of his employer. He is at the head of an empire of mass manipulation.
The campaign waged against the new President of the United States by the sponsors of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the destruction of the Greater Middle East is on-going. After the Womens’ March on 22 January, a March for Science is scheduled to be held not only in the USA, but also throughout the Western world on 22 April. It’s goal is to show that Donald Trump is not only a misogynist, but also an obscurantist.
The fact that he is the ex-organiser of the Miss Universe pageant, and that his third wedding was to a model, is apparently enough to prove that he holds women in contempt. The fact that the President contests the rôle played by Barack Obama in the creation of the Chicago Climate Exchange (a long time before his Presidency) and rejects the idea that climatic disturbances are caused by the expulsion of carbon into the atmosphere attest to the fact that he understands nothing about science.
In order to convince US public opinion of the President’s insanity – a man who says that he hopes for peace with his enemies, and wants to collaborate with them in universal economic prosperity - one of the greatest specialists of agit-prop (agitation & propaganda), David Brock, set up an impressive system even before Trump’s investiture.
At the time when he was working for the Republicans, Brock launched a campaign against President Bill Clinton which would eventually become Troopergate, the Whitewater affair, and the Lewinsky affair. Having changed his colours, he is today in the service of Hillary Clinton, for whom he has already organised not only the demolition of Mitt Romney’s candidacy but also her riposte in the affair of the assassination of the US ambassador in Benghazi. During the first round of primaries, it was Brock who directed the attacks against Bernie Sanders. The National Review qualified Brock as «a right-wing assassin who has become a left-wing assassin».
It is important to remember that the two procedures of destitution of a serving President initiated since the Second World War were set in motion for the benefit of the deep state, and not at all for the benefit of democracy. So Watergate was entirely managed by a certgain «Deep Throat» who, 33 years later, was revealed to be Mark Felt, the assistant of J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI. As for the Lewinsky affair, it was simply a way of forcing Bill Clinton to accept the war against Yugoslavia.
The current campaign is organised in secret by four associations:
http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L9xH11/puce-cebf5.gif Media Matters (https://mediamatters.org/) is tasked with picking up on Donald Trump’s mistakes. You read his bulletin every day in your newspapers – the President can’t be trusted, he got this or that point wrong.
http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L9xH11/puce-cebf5.gif American Bridge 21st Century (https://americanbridgepac.org/) has collected more than 2,000 hours of videos showing Donald Trump over the years, and more than 18,000 hours of other videos of the members of his cabinet. It has at its disposition sophisticated technological equipment designed for the Department of Defense – allegedly not in working order – which enables it to look for contradictions between their older declarations and their current positions. It should be extending its work to 1,200 of the new President’s collaborators.
http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L9xH11/puce-cebf5.gif Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington — CREW (http://www.citizensforethics.org/) is a firm of high level lawyers tasked with tracking anything that could create a scandal in the Trump administration. Most of the lawyers in this association work pro bono, for the cause. These are the people who prepared the case for Bob Ferguson, the Chief Prosecutor of the state of Washington, against the immigration decree (Executive Order 13769).
http://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L9xH11/puce-cebf5.gif Shareblue (http://shareblue.com/) is an electronic army which has already connected with 162 million internauts in the USA. It’s job is to spread pre-ordained themes, for example:
• Trump is authoritarian and a thief.
• Trump is under the influence of Vladimir Putin.
• Trump is a weak and quick-tempered personality, he’s a manic-depressive.
• Trump was not elected by the majority of US citizens, and is therefore illegitimate.
• His Vice-President, Mike Pence, is a fascist.
• Trump is a billionaire who will constantly be faced with conflicts of interest between his personal affairs and those of state.
• Trump is a puppet of the Koch brothers, who are famous for sponsoring the extreme right.
• Trump is a white supremacist and a threat to minorities.
• Anti-Trump opposition just keeps growing outside Washington.
• To save democracy, let’s support the democrataic parliamentarians who are attacking Trump, and let’s demolish those who are co-operating with him.
• Overthrowing Trump will take time, so don’t let’s weaken in our resolve.
This association will produce the newsletters and 30-second videos. It will base itself on two other groups – a company which makes documentary videos, The American Independent (http://www.americanindependent.com/), and a statistical unit, Benchmark Politics.
The whole of this system – which was set up during the transitional period, that is to say before Donald Trump’s arrival at the White House – already employed more than 300 specialists to which should be added numerous voluteer workers. Its annual budget, initially calculated at 35 million dollars, was increased to the level of about 100 million dollars.
Destroying the image – and thus the authority – of the President of the United States, before he has had the time to do anything at all, can have serious consequences. By eliminating Saddam Hussein and Mouamar Kadhafi, the CIA plunged their two countries into a long period of chaos, and the «land of Liberty» itself may suffer severe damage from such an operation. This type of mass manipulation technique has never before been levelled at a head of state in the Western world.
For the moment, the plan is working – no political leader in the world has dared to celebrate the election of Donald Trump, with the exception of Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"They're Like The Praetorian Guard" - Whistleblower Confirms NSA Targeted Congress, The Supreme Court, & Trump

NSA whistleblower William Binney told Tucker Carlson on Friday that the NSA is spying on "all the members of the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Congress, both House and Senate, as well as the White House."
Binney, who served the NSA for 30 years before blowing the whistle on domestic spying in 2001, told Tucker he firmly believes that Trump was spied on.
"They're taking in fundamentally the entire fiber network inside the United States and collecting all that data and storing it, in a program they call Stellar Wind," Binney said.
"That's the domestic collection of data on US citizens, US citizens to other US citizens," he said.
"Everything we're doing, phone calls, emails and then financial transactions, credit cards, things like that, all of it."

"Inside NSA there are a set of people who are -- and we got this from another NSA whistleblower who witnessed some of this -- they're inside there, they are targeting and looking at all the members of the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Congress, both House and Senate, as well as the White House," Binney said.
"And all this data is inside the NSA in a small group where they're looking at it. The idea is to see what people in power over you are going to -- what they think, what they think you should be doing or planning to do to you, your budget, or whatever so you can try to counteract before it actually happens," he said.
"I mean, that's just East German," Tucker responded.
Rather than help prevent terrorist attacks, Binney said collecting so much information actually makes stopping attacks more difficult.
"This bulk acquisition is inhibiting their ability to detect terrorist threats in advance so they can't stop them so people get killed as a result," he said.
"Which means, you know, they pick up the pieces and blood after the attack. That's what's been going on. I mean they've consistently failed. When Alexander said they'd stop 54 attacks and he was challenged to produce the evidence to prove that he failed on every count."
Binney concludes ominously indicating the origin of the deep state...
"They are like the praetorian guard, they determine what the emperor does and who the emperor is..."
Who's going to stop them?

Former Obama insider, Evelyn Farkas, reveals she was involved in "helping to spy on Trump for Obama" (http://theduran.com/obama-insider-tells-msnbc-that-the-former-us-president-spied-on-donald-trump-video/)

Farkas admitted to having first hand knowledge that the Obama administration spied on a US presidential candidate’s transition team in order to gather “intelligence” for political use, information which was then leaked to the media through Obama January executive order 12333.
Evelyn Farkas says Barack Obama was indeed spying on candidate Trump.
#Obamagate picks up more speed, as the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Obama White House, Evelyn Farkas, has admitted that Donald Trump was spied on, and that Obama tried to hide both the source, and how the information was being disseminated to "the hill."
Farkas was on MSNBC's Morning Joe, when she made the stunning revelation that she was involved in "helping to spy on Trump for Obama."
Farkas unknowingly ratted out her former boss Barack Obama on the liberal left propaganda outlet, MSNBC...
"I was urging my former colleagues, and, and frankly speaking the people on the Hill [Democrat politicians], it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can - get as much intelligence as you can - before President Obama leaves the administration.
Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left; so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, um, that the Trump folks - if they found out HOW we knew what we knew about their, the Trump staff, dealing with Russians - that they would try to compromise those sources and methods; meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.
So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia; so then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were also trying to help get information to [Democrat politicians Farkas admitted to having first hand knowledge that the Obama administration spied on a US presidential candidate's transition team (http://theduran.com/trump-russia-wiretap-corner-turned/) in order to gather "intelligence" for political use, information which was then leaked to the media through Obama January executive order 12333.
MSNBC, the network working oh so hard to remove Trump from office in what has become Russian election meddling fake news, has now helped debunk their entire Trump impeachment effort...Farkas clearly shows that Donald Trump, not Russians, was the target of the illegal surveillance.

Via The Conservative Treehouse (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/03/28/oh-my-president-obamas-own-defense-deputy-admits-obama-white-house-spied-on-candidatepresident-elect-trump/#more-130586)...
It would appear Ms. Farkas was so caught up in the discussion, she didn't quite realize the significant admissions she was making about the Obama administration spying on Donald Trump's team and generating classified intelligence for Ms. Farkas (and others) to spread to Capitol Hill politicians. MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski recognized the 'oh-snap' admission and tried to play it off,...but by then it was too late.
With the help of MSNBC, simultaneous to her admission of first-hand specific knowledge of the administration spying on Mr. Trump, Ms. Evelyn Farkas outs herself as the key source for a New York Times report which discussed President Obama officials leaking classified information to media.
Considerable irony jumps to the forefront when you recognize, the New York Times tried to protect Evelyn Farkas as the source of their reporting (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/us/politics/obama-trump-russia-election-hacking.html?_r=0) by stating:
"More than a half-dozen current and former officials described various aspects of the effort to preserve and distribute the intelligence, and some said they were speaking to draw attention to the material and ensure proper investigation by Congress. All spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were discussing classified information, nearly all of which remains secret." (link (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/us/politics/obama-trump-russia-election-hacking.html?_r=0))
Looks like Devin Nunes and the House Intelligence Committee has a new person to bring in for testimony. A positive development because at this rate the media leakers will out themselves without much need for investigation.
I wonder what the criminal penalties are for having access to intelligence and sharing it with Democrat politicians ["The Hill People"]. Farkas' admission starts at the 04:50 mark...

Don't get your hopes up. Another let down.
it's not being spun the way the conservative news is translating it. Msnbc are spinning exactly the opposite. I agree she is admitting something questionable on her part towards the end but they sail through it and this is no breaking expose...She practically admits the dems are felons by saying the leaks are happening because they are all worried about crazy man Donald. Of course it is not their place to commit felonies because of their opinions or ideology but they are getting away with it.
No matter how guilty the dems are they become more ferocious...

Confirmed: Susan Rice 'unmasked' Trump team (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-03/confirmed-susan-rice-unmasked-trump-team)

Once again it appears that Trump was right: the conspiracy theory that a close Obama associate worked to "unmask" the Trump team, resulting in the ongoing media spectacle over "collusion" between Trump and the Kremlin, has been confirmed, first by Mike Cernovich (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-03/report-mike-cernovich-reveals-natl-security-advisor-susan-rice-responsible-unmasking), and now by Bloomberg itself.
As noted last night (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-03/report-mike-cernovich-reveals-natl-security-advisor-susan-rice-responsible-unmasking), Journalist and author Mike Cernovich (https://twitter.com/Cernovich) dropped an exclusive bombshell (https://medium.com/@Cernovich/susan-rice-requested-unmasking-of-incoming-trump-administration-officials-30085b5cff16) - naming Obama's National Security Advisor Susan Rice as the official responsible for the 'unmasking' of the incoming Trump team during 'incidental' surveillance. This was apparently discovered after the White House Counsel's office reviewed Rice's document log requests:
The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.
Upon learning of Rice's actions, [National Security Advisor] H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes. Cernovich pointed out, as revealed in an article by Circa (http://circa.com/politics/barack-obama-changed-how-nsa-intercepts-of-americans-like-donald-trump-could-be-shared), that President Obama began loosening the rules regarding "incidental intercepts" starting in 2011 - making it easier for the US Government to spy on individuals who are not the primary target(s) of a surveillance operation.
As his presidency drew to a close, Barack Obama's top aides routinely reviewed intelligence reports gleaned from the National Security Agency's incidental intercepts of Americans abroad, taking advantage of rules their boss relaxed starting in 2011 to help the government better fight terrorism, espionage by foreign enemies and hacking threats. And guess who had authorization to unmask individuals who were 'incidentally' surveilled? Former CIA Director John Brennan, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Obama's National Security advisor Susan Rice. Also of note is the claim that New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman has been sitting on the Susan Rice story for at least two days:
This reporter has been informed that Maggie Haberman has had this story about Susan Rice for at least 48 hours, and has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama. Fox News anchor Adam Housley tweeted on Friday that the surveillance that led to the unmasking began before Trump was the GOP nominee, and that the person who did the unmasking is a "very senior" and "very well known" person in the surveillance community - and not someone in the FBI. As ZeroPointNow noted, "this of course begs the question of whether or not President Obama would have ordered Rice to perform the unmasking."

Until this morning, the Cernovich report was unconfirmed, with many in the "legacy media" accusing Cernovich, who recently was profiled on 60 Minutes (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/whats-fake-news-60-minutes-producers-investigate/)for being a prominent member of the "fake news" dissemination team for being - what else - fake news. However, moments ago Bloomberg's Eli Lake confirmed (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-03/top-obama-adviser-sought-names-of-trump-associates-in-intel)that it was indeed Susan Rice who was responsible for the repeatedly "unmasking" multiple members of the Trump team, in what may be dubbed yet another "conspiracy" to delegitimize the current US president.
From Eli Lake (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-03/top-obama-adviser-sought-names-of-trump-associates-in-intel):
White House lawyers last month learned that the former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The pattern of Rice's requests was discovered in a National Security Council review of the government's policy on "unmasking" the identities of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally. Normally those names are redacted from summaries of monitored conversations and appear in reports as something like "U.S. Person One." As Lake adds, the National Security Council's senior director for intelligence, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, was conducting the review, according to two U.S. officials who spoke with Bloomberg View on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. In February Cohen-Watnick discovered Rice's multiple requests to unmask U.S. persons in intelligence reports that related to Trump transition activities. He brought this to the attention of the White House General Counsel's office, who reviewed more of Rice's requests and instructed him to end his own research into the unmasking policy.
The intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations -- primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration. Rice has not yet responded to a Bloomberg email seeking comment on Monday morning. Her role in requesting the identities of Trump transition officials adds an important element to the dueling investigations surrounding the Trump White House since the president's inauguration.
Making matters worse, Rice appears to have lied: while she has not spoken directly on the issue of unmasking, last month when she was asked on the "PBS NewsHour" about reports that Trump transition officials, including Trump himself, were swept up in incidental intelligence collection, Rice said: "I know nothing about this," adding, "I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that account today."

Ironically, it's the same Susan Rice who two weeks ago tweeted the following:
https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/820994657102376961/UtQGayW2_bigger.jpg Susan RiceVerified account @AmbassadorRice (https://twitter.com/AmbassadorRice)
Susan Rice: When the White House twists the truth, we are all less safe. Why veracity matters to our security.
https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/846915134626938882/Ec9k9NiY?format=jpg&name=600x314
5:22 PM - 21 Mar 2017 Lies aside, according to the Bloomberg reports, "Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about U.S. surveillance programs. The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything. This suggests Rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law."
Perhaps, but they also served a key political purpose: to create a media firestorm of controversy involving the Trump team, and to delegitimize Donald Trump as much as possible.
Furthermore, the news about Rice also may explain what Bloomberg dubs the "strange behavior of Nunes in the last two weeks."
It emerged last week that he traveled to the White House last month, the night before he made an explosive allegation about Trump transition officials caught up in incidental surveillance. At the time he said he needed to go to the White House because the reports were only on a database for the executive branch. It now appears that he needed to view computer systems within the National Security Council that would include the logs of Rice's requests to unmask U.S. persons.
The ranking Democrat on the committee Nunes chairs, Representative Adam Schiff, viewed these reports on Friday. In comments to the press over the weekend he declined to discuss the contents of these reports, but also said it was highly unusual for the reports to
be shown only to Nunes and not himself and other members of the committee. In a tacit admission by Lake that Rice may have crossed numerous boundaries, the Bloomberg reporter adds "much about this is highly unusual: if not how the surveillance was collected, then certainly how and why it was disseminated."
However the real question goes back to square one: did Obama order the unmasking, and if so, to what political purpose?

SOTT Comment (https://www.sott.net/article/347180-Confirmed-Susan-Rice-unmasked-Trump-team): Cernovich Explains How He Learned About Susan Rice (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-03/cernovich-explains-how-he-learned-about-susan-rice)
Ever since Mike Cernovich dropped the bombshell report over the weekend outing Obama's National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, as the person behind the unmasking of the identity of various members of Trump's team who were 'incidentally' surveilled during the 2016 campaign (see "Confirmed: Susan Rice "Unmasked" Trump Team (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-03/confirmed-susan-rice-unmasked-trump-team)"), a report which was subsequently confirmed by Eli Lake of Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-03/top-obama-adviser-sought-names-of-trump-associates-in-intel) earlier this morning, everyone has been wondering who within the Trump White House or the intelligence community supplied him with such a massive scoop.
But, as it turns out, Cernovich didn't need a 'deep throat' within the NSA or CIA for his blockbuster scoop, all he needed was some well-placed sources inside of a couple of America's corrupt mainstream media outlets. As Cernovich explains below, his sources for the Susan Rice story were actually folks working at Bloomberg and the New York Times who revealed that both Eli Lake (Bloomberg) and Maggie Haberman (NYT) were sitting on the Susan Rice story in order to protect the Obama administration.
"Maggie Haberman had it. She will not run any articles that are critical of the Obama administration."
"Eli Lake had it. He didn't want to run it and Bloomberg didn't want to run it because it vindicates Trump's claim that he had been spied upon. And Eli Lake is a 'never Trumper.' Bloomberg was a 'never Trump' publication."
"I'm showing you the politics of 'real journalism'. 'Real journalism' is that Bloomberg had it and the New York Times had it but they wouldn't run it because they don't want to run any stories that would make Obama look bad or that will vindicate Trump. They only want to run stories that make Trump look bad so that's why they sat on it."
"So where did I get the story? I didn't get it from the intelligence community. Everybody's trying to figure out where I got it from. I got it from somebody who works in one of those media companies. I have spies in every media organization. I got people in news rooms. I got it from a source within the news room who said 'Cernovich, they're sitting on this story, they're not going to run it, so you can run it'."
"If you're at Bloomberg, I have people in there. If you're at the New York Times, I have people in there. LA Times, Washington Post, you name it, I have my people in there. I got IT people in every major news room in this country. The IT people see every email so that's how I knew it."
DT_gzLWbXHA
And while this could certainly be interpreted as a clever ploy to protect his real sources, Cernovich's video comments seem to be validated by both his tweet from yesterday afternoon...
...and the fact that Eli Lake of Bloomberg was able to conveniently confirm Cernovich's story with his own article this morning.
All of which just begs the question of what other stories the mainstream media is sitting on in an effort to protect their chosen candidates.

Disgusted...
War is a racket: Trump owned stock in Raytheon, up $1Billion overnight (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/according-to-his-most-r-firing-59-missiles-into-syria/)
Matt Agorist The Free Thought Project (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/according-to-his-most-r-firing-59-missiles-into-syria/)
Fri, 07 Apr 2017 19:12 UTC
https://www.sott.net/image/s19/388890/large/trump_war_1_696x366.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s19/388890/full/trump_war_1_696x366.jpg)
Each one of the 59 Tomahawk missiles fired by the US Navy, by order of Trump, at the Syrian air base in Homs cost somewhere between $800,000 and $1.4 million — per missile. This obviously expensive surge in US military spending subsequently sent the manufacturer's stock soaring. It also sent the Free Thought Project on an investigation into the types of stocks in which President Trump invests. What we found is shocking, but sadly, typical.
Tomahawk missiles are manufactured by a company, with whom most people are familiar, Raytheon.
According to Raytheon's website (http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/tomahawk/): "Today's Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile can circle for hours, shift course instantly on command and beam a picture of its target to controllers halfway around the world before striking with pinpoint accuracy. Tomahawk can be launched from a ship or submarine and can fly into heavily defended airspace more than 1,000 miles away to conduct precise strikes on high-value targets with minimal collateral damage. Launching the weapon from such a long distance helps to keep sailors out of harm's way."
However, some may not be familiar with the fact that according to the President's most recent FEC disclosure, the Trumps actual own or have owned stock in Raytheon. (https://www.scribd.com/document/315632622/Donald-Trump-form-278e-disclosure-2016) That's right, the 59 missiles, that Trump hurled at Syria — which cost taxpayers somewhere between $47 million and $82 million — could've actually turned a profit for the president.
The report showed that Trump also owns or has owned stock in many well-known companies including Apple, Nike, Whole Foods, Google, Philip Morris, McDonald's, Facebook, and Morgan Stanley, among many others — including many other defense contractors who stand to make billions off Trump's aggression.
It is important to note that in December of 2016, Trump spokesman, Jason Miller told The Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-sold-all-shares-in-companies-in-june-spokesman-says/2016/12/06/55419d44-bbcf-11e6-94ac-3d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.40f1781c333e) that Trump liquidated all of his assets. However, we've yet to see any proof of this and will not see any proof until at least 2018.
"We need to know, has he put them in conflict free assets ... or has he bought other stocks or assets that would create new conflicts?" Norm Eisen, who served as ethics counselor to President Obama asked. "It's all the more reason that we need a prompt and full financial disclosure. If he did liquidate all his stocks, what did he do with the money? What bank is the money in? What did he buy? It's a lot of money."
According to Business Insider, shares of Raytheon gained 3.54 points, a roughly 2.3 percent increase, in pre-market trading following Thursday night's strike.
Of course, 2.3 percent doesn't sound like a whole lot, however, if we take into account the effect it has on Raytheon's total market value, it is definitely significant. On Thursday, Raytheon closed at $150.75 and on Friday morning, it opened at $154.62. This shot the company's market value up from $44.1 billion to $45.4 billion — nearly one and a half billion — in a day.
Lockheed Martin and Boeing saw similar gains.
Also, according to Open Secrets, Trump wasn't just giving to Raytheon but they were also giving to him. (https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000175)
According to Trump's most recent Financial Disclosure Report, his stock holdings were held in accounts with Barclays, Oppenheimer, JPMorgan, and Deutsche Bank. However, the way that the disclosure from the FEC is structured only requires presidential candidates to list their holdings in broad ranges. So, we don't know how large of a stake he had in these companies.
Trump's situation, however shocking, is nothing new. Consequently, the last time there was talk of military action in Syria, in 2013 (http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/blog/techflash/2013/08/raytheon-reaches-all-time-high-on-talk.html), Raytheon's stock soared to an all-time high.
According to US officials, arms manufacturers have added shifts and hired workers, but they warn that this may not be enough to keep up with the world's demand for weapons of mass destruction.
As the US sends tens of thousands of warheads to Saudi Arabia so they can bomb schools and hospitals in Yemen, they are dropping hundreds of bombs in Iraq and Syria.
Instead of realizing that the bombs and US foreign policy are the actual sources of terrorism (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/foreign-policy-created-million-osama-bin-ladens-9-11/), war monger politicians like Bush, Obama, and now Trump use fear to steal your tax dollars to feed this machine.
Thanks to the invasive and murderous US foreign policy, there is no shortage of 'Islamic Extremism' to attack in the Middle East. Not only is Saudi Arabia receiving US arms, but so are many of the other Gulf states as well as Syrian 'rebels.'
After his retirement from the Marine Corps, Major General Smedley D. Butler made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War is a Racket," which sums this scenario up quite well.
What separates Butler from other historical military figures is that he is one of only 19 people in history to win the Medal of Honor, twice. So, when a highly decorated, two-star general takes to the stage to assert that war is a racket, people listen — most people, anyway.
In one of his speeches, Butler decried war and pointed out how so many people died just to benefit a very small 'inside' group. The speech read in part,
WAR IS A RACKET. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
IT IS POSSIBLY THE OLDEST, EASILY THE MOST PROFITABLE, SURELY THE MOST VICIOUS. IT IS THE ONLY ONE INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE. IT IS THE ONLY ONE IN WHICH THE PROFITS ARE RECKONED IN DOLLARS AND THE LOSSES IN LIVES. Sadly, very few people inside this detached and brutal government ever come to realize the true nature of war. As the threat of World War III looms across the planet, the American taxpayers are being fleeced to build the weapons with which this world war will be carried out — all the while, the commander and chief is reaping the benefits.

The 'Free Thought Project' article above to me is just a hit piece.
I wrote this on a similar thread as similar thoughts and feelings get thrown around by the events of this past weekend:
What if trump didn't have much of a choice? What if we are really less free than we want to imagine?
Criticizing trump implies that he has choices. By extension we feel we have choices. We have a vested interest in contending he had options.
The more we concentrate on trump and on all the independent or imaginary choices he supposedly has the less we will be concentrating on how powerless we really are, that would be even more uncomfortable than any disappointment in trump.
Whether it's trump, clinton, bush, obama or congress, no one is asking us anything. We just watch.
Whatever your interpretation of what transpired over the weekend it was definitely a surprise to most. I just hope we're not in for any bad financial surprises on top of political ones.

Tulsi Gabbard under fire after refusing to accept 'Assad did chemical attack' without evidence (https://www.rt.com/usa/384169-tulsi-gabbard-syria-strike-assad/)

Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has provoked a backlash from senior Democrats after refusing to take Syrian President Bashar Assad's complicity in the Idlib chemical attack at face value and demanding proof.
Speaking live on CNN in the aftermath of the US missile strike against the Syrian airfield near Homs, Gabbard said she remained "skeptical" of the allegations, and reminded the host of the destructive invasions in Libya and Iraq, the latter based on a false intelligence pretext. The Democratic representative from Hawaii also called out US President Donald Trump for the "reckless" and "unconstitutional" attack.
The remarks infuriated some "progressive" Democratic figures, including former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean and former Hillary Clinton policy director Neera Tanden, now the President of the Center for American Progress, a pro-Democratic Party think tank. The two suggested on Twitter that Gabbard, who also famously visited Syria for a covert "fact-finding" mission, should be expelled from Congress for her doubt of Assad's guilt.
"People of Hawaii's 2nd district - was it not enough for you that your rep met with a murderous dictator? Will this move you?" Tander wrote (https://twitter.com/neeratanden/status/850491598517481474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rt.com%2Fusa%2F384169-tulsi-gabbard-syria-strike-assad%2F) on Twitter on Friday, referring to Gabbard's recent comments she made to CNN.
Dean, who served as Vermont Governor from 1991 to 2003 and led the DNC from 2005 to 2009, branded Gabbard's stance on Syria "a disgrace."
"Gabbard should not be in Congress," he wrote (https://twitter.com/GovHowardDean/status/850895059771957248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rt.com%2Fusa%2F384169-tulsi-gabbard-syria-strike-assad%2F) on Twitter on Sunday. Asked by one of the users why the former Governor did not display a similar indignation over "Hillary Clinton's mistakes," Dean responded: "Engaging in dialogue isn't the problem. It's claiming there is doubt Assad uses chemical warfare."
In an interview to the channel which aired on Saturday, Gabbard refused to be convinced by the undisclosed evidence that Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have cited when justifying the launch of 59 Tomahawk missiles against a Syrian airbase.
Despite being repeatedly pressed by CNN's Wolf Blitzer to unconditionally accept the so far unrevealed intelligence, Gabbard retorted: "Last time I checked, Wolf, the Congress has the authority and responsibility for declaring war, for authorizing use of military force."
"Whether the President or the Pentagon or the Secretary of State say they have the evidence the fact remains that they have not brought that evidence before Congress, they have not brought that evidence before the American people and have not sought authorization from Congress to launch this military attack on another country," Gabbard said.
She went on to argue that the US has been waging an illegal proxy war aimed at toppling the Syrian government "for years," which has only resulted in the "suffering of the Syrian people, hundreds of thousands of people dead, millions of refugees and the strengthening of terrorist groups in Syria like Al-Qaeda and ISIS."
Gabbard, who is an Iraq War veteran and sits on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, cited the Iraqi invasion as an example of "completely destructive, counterproductive war."
The congresswoman courted controversy after going on a private fact-finding mission to Syria earlier this year, after it was revealed that she met with Assad, as well as with civil, religious, and opposition leaders and civilians.
"Their message to the American people was powerful and consistent: There is no difference between 'moderate' rebels and Al-Qaeda / Al-Nusra or ISIS - they are all the same," Gabbard said at the time, drawing strong criticism from the US establishment, with many accusing her of cozying up to Assad.
She has been a vocal opponent of Washington's support for the rebels in Syria, arguing that weapons often end up in the hands of the terrorists.
In December, Gabbard introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, designed to stop the US government from providing direct assistance to terrorist entities, urging to "prohibit the Federal government from funding assistance to countries that are directly or indirectly supporting those terrorist groups."

NOTE: THIS VIDEO IS NOT SAYING THAT TRUMP IS OR IS NOT ILLUMINATI, IT PRESENTS THE FACTS, THE FINAL VERDICT COMES SOON.
This year, Donald Trump will prove to all the conspiracy deniers that America is run by a shadow government. By his actions and inactions he will show that the American government will continue what Bush and Obama started regardless what Trump thinks.
If Trump is Illuminati - he will change about everything he said about Syria and continue Obama's regime change agenda.
If Trump is not Illuminati - Illuminati will shut him down, and continue Obama's regime change agenda. Simple.
"Illuminati confirmed" has never been easier.

Former British Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford
"Trump has just given jihadis a thousand reasons to stage fake flag operations,"
Peter Ford.
Former British Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford went on the BBC to explain why the chemical attack in the ISIS-Al Qaeda controlled town of Khan Sheikhoun was not committed by the Assad government.
Ford was the UK ambassador to Damascus from 2003-2006, so he actually has experience dealing with Assad and knowledge of Syria.
When the BBC host claimed that Assad is responsible for the chemical attack in Syria, saying, "That's a statement of fact, right?"
Ford countered with logic. Something western mainstream media has conveniently left out of the conversation as they ramp up for war. Peter Ford replied...
"It's a myth. It's a statement of non-fact."
"What's needed is an investigation, because there are two possibilities for what happened. One is the American version, that Assad dropped chemical weapons on this locality. The other version is that an ordinary bomb was dropped and it hit a munitions dump where jihadis were storing chemical weapons. We don't know which of these two possibilities is the correct one."
"Remember the run up to Iraq. The experts, the intelligence agencies, the politicians were convinced that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. They produced reams of evidence, photographs, diagrams. They were all wrong. It was all wrong. It's possible that they are wrong in this instance as well. That they are just looking for a pretext to attack Syria." Ford continued...
"I don't leave my brains at the door when I examine a situation analytically. I try to be objective."
"And based on previous experience, including Iraq, we can see that we cannot take at face value what the so-called intelligence experts tell us when they have an agenda."
"Trump has just given the jihadis a thousand reasons to stage fake flag operations. Seeing how successful and how easy it is, with a gullible media, to provoke the West into intemperate reactions."
"They [the rebels - Al-Qaeda and ISIS] will very likely stage an operation similar to what they did - and this was documented by the United Nations in August last year - they mounted a chlorine gas attack on civilians and tried to make it look like a regime operation."
"It will happen and we will get all the warmongers coming to tell us that Assad is defying us and we most go in more heavily into Syria." The BBC host, obviously taken aback by hearing such reason, logic, and truth...he could only go along with Ford until the segment wrapped up, asking Ford, "With your expertise - it's worth saying, you are a former Ambassador to Syria - with your knowledge of Bashar al-Assad and his regime in that country, what do you think his reaction to this will be?"
Ford's reply...
"Assad may be cruel, brutal...but he's not mad. It defies belief that he would bring this all on his head for no military advantage, the site that was hit had no military significance, it made absolutely no sense. It angered the Russians. For no other reason, it's simply not plausible."
"We will all pay the consequences. The oil price will spike. There will very likely be more use, not less use, of chemical weapons, as a result of this. And, this is also important, the Russians and the Syrians will give less co-operation in the fight against ISIS."

Coalition Strikes Daesh Depot With Chemical Weapons in Deir ez-Zor - Syrian MoD (https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201704131052598995-coalition-daesh-chemical-weapons-syria/)

The Syrian General Staff said that the US-led coalition struck a Daesh depot storing chemical weapons in Deir ez-Zor on Wednesday.
The Syrian military said that this fact proves that terrorists possess chemical weapons.
"The jets of the so-called US-led coalition launched a strike at about 17:30-17:50 [local time, 14:30-14:50 GMT] on a Daesh warehouse where many foreign fighters were present. First a white cloud and then a yellow one appeared at the site of the strike, which points at the presence of a large number of poisonous substances. A fire at the site continued until 22:30 [19:30 GMT]," the Syrian army's command statement obtained by Sputnik said.
According to the Syrian General Staff, the US-led coalition's strike killed several hundred people, including civilians. Hundreds were poisoned as a result of the strike on Daesh's headquarters and depot with chemical weapons.
"This confirms that Daesh and al-Nusra terrorists possess chemical weapons and are capable of using, obtaining and transporting it," the document said.
The Syrian army yet again denied possessing chemical weapons.
The news comes as Washington and its allies are blaming the Syrian government (http://sputniknews.com/politics/20170405/1052333781.html) for a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian Idlib province on April 4.
Syrian opposition claimed on April 4 forces loyal to President Bashar Assad had used a chemical gas on people in the northwestern province, killing nearly 80 and injuring 200. Assad argued his government has no chemical weapons (http://sputniknews.com/politics/20161029/1046870260.html) after agreeing to have them destroyed in 2013. He also ruled out having used chemicals against own people.
The Russian Defense Ministry said (http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20170405/1052301312.html) next day that the airstrike near Khan Shaykhun was carried out by Syrian aircraft, which struck a terrorist warehouse that stored chemical weapons slated for delivery to Iraq.

Rabbis Urge President Trump To “Act Decisively” In Syria (http://thesaker.is/rabbis-urge-president-trump-to-act-decisively-in-syria/)
The Saker April 14, 2017
http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Selection_053-275x200_c.png
Dear President Trump,
We write to you with angst just days before the Passover (http://forward.com/news/368071/what-is-passover/) holiday when the Jews escaped the oppressive tyranny of Pharaoh in Egypt. The Assad regime in Syria appears to have conducted a nerve gas attack against Syrian civilians yesterday. At least 58 civilians have been killed in the attack, marking the worst chemical attack in Syria since the August 21, 2013 chemical massacre. We believe that a strong response from the U.S. is essential to stopping these war crimes.
This attack is a violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibiting the Assad regime from using chemical weapons passed under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. Local medical workers observed that victims were gasping for air, and video footage from the area showed dozens of dead bodies with no apparent external injuries.
Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin called the attack a “stain on humanity,” and urged the international community to “join together to bring an end to this murderous insanity and make sure these types of images will never again be seen anywhere in the world” and called on “world leaders and the heads of the world powers to act now and stop the criminal murdered taking in place in Syria at the hands of the Assad regime and act to have chemical weapons removed from the Syrian territory.”
Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said in 2012, “the so-called civilized world isn’t even trying to stop the massacre. Its leaders issue statements, but the bloodshed continues. A situation that has lasted 13-odd months is not about to end.”
The Assad regime will not cease these brutal attacks unless it faces the threat of serious military repercussions such as airstrikes against air bases associated with chemical weapons and suspected storage facilities.
We therefore urge you to fully appreciate the importance of this moment and to act decisively to avoid dire consequences. Specifically, we recommend that you adopt the following measures:
• Verify, with the various departments in your administration, that today’s attacks in Syria were indeed carried out with a nerve agent.
This would mean that the Assad regime still possesses nerve gas and therefore did not comply with the September 2013 chemical agreement.
• Order targeted airstrikes on Assad regime air facilities, jetways, and fix-wing and rotary aircraft so as to prevent the regime from carrying out further chemical attacks with nerve agents.
If today’s horrific atrocity is not met with a firm response, Assad likely has more attacks planned on an even larger scale. The world today is looking to your administration for leadership.

Kushners Belong to Jewish Supremacist Doomsday Cult (https://www.henrymakow.com/Kushner-Belongs-to-Fanatical-Jewish-Doomsday-Cult.html)
by Brian Davis (from June 11, 2011)

(Jared & Ivanka visit the Chabad Rebbe for a pre-election blessing Nov. 5, 2016) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8xa5Nj5vQ4)
Is Trump's Jared Kushner (https://www.infowars.com/firekushner-takes-over-twitter/)connection to the Chabad Lubavitch sect the cause for his dramatic U-turn?
The sect is deliberately fomenting a prophesied Third World War.
It believes Jews are God's chosen people and everyone else is trash. In the book "Gatherings of Conversations" Rebbe Schneerson tells (http://davidduke.com/on-chabad-lubavitch-from-the-preface-of-jewish-supremacism2007/)his followers (http://davidduke.com/on-chabad-lubavitch-from-the-preface-of-jewish-supremacism2007/)that Jewish people are an extension of God and Gentiles are destined to serve the Jews.
Historian Wolfgang Eggert says this is the real face of the Illuminati; the Rothschilds belong to this cult. He says this cult intends to initiate a nuclear holocaust (https://www.henrymakow.com/historian_demands_action_on_do.html) in order to fulfill biblical prophecy and hasten the return of the Messiah:
"History and politics are a big movie, and they are the directors, bringing old-testament-prophecy into reality. They captured freemasonry by building up the illuminati (through Rothschild/Jacob Frank/Weishaupt); they made a pact with the British monarchy when they financed William III to become king; they placed the British royals at the head of the Freemasons; they made the modern banking system and the Fed (through Rothschild); they made Zionism, the world wars, the European union and so on. They reign through their puppets Rothschild (whose ancestors had been part of the chassidic cult (http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/112275/jewish/The-Rothschild-Family.htm)) and Rockefeller, who were the guiding force behind Bilderberg, the trilaterals etc. We are now in the "End Times"; they are trying to foment a "prophesied" Third World War."
Chris Bjerkness agrees (https://www.henrymakow.com/002089.html): Redemption requires the "King of the Jews" (the Rothschilds) to rule the world after a nuclear holocaust.
Jared Kushner attended Chabad House (http://www.timesofisrael.com/jared-kushners-college-rabbi-recalls-a-snow-shoveling-student-mega-donor/) at Harvard. "Israel wasn't a political discussion for him; it was his family, his life, his people," said Hirschy Zarchi, rabbi at the Chabad House at Harvard.
Between 2003 and 2013, his family foundation donated a total of $342,500 (http://forward.com/news/359482/kushner-foundation-gives-342k-to-chabad-still-surprised-about-jared-and-iva//) to various institutions and projects associated with the movement. Especially endowed was the Chabad center at Harvard University, which received $150,000 in 2007 (the foundation's single biggest donation to a Lubavitch-affiliated enterprise) and then another $3,600 in 2013. In addition, the Donald J. Trump Foundation has donated $11,550 to three Chabad institutions.
In 2006, Kushner's father Charles was sentenced to 24 months in prison (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-fathers-scandal-the-genesis-of-jared-kushners-unflinching-loyalty/2016/11/27/1e9497ba-b378-11e6-840f-e3ebab6bcdd3_story.html?utm_term=.4b9be47d270d) for making illegal campaign donations & witness tampering.

(henrymakow.com)
Chabad Lubavitch is a nasty Jewish supremacist cult that serve the Illuminati. Despite only having 200,000 followers, it has intimate ties to nearly every powerful government leader on earth.
Chabad's power derives from two services they provide the Illuminati:
1. They work with Israeli intelligence in criminal and intelligence operations.
2. They promote a supremacist ideology that encourages Zionists to do dirty deeds.
CHABAD IS A HERETICAL CULT
Founded in 18th century Russia, Chabad is a branch of Hasidic Judaism, a form of Orthodox Judaism that promotes Jewish mysticism as the path to enlightenment. Chabad Lubavitchers study the Kabbalah, the satanic creed that erases moral absolutes and believes God is 'subjective'.
https://henrymakow.com/upload_images/obama-and-chabad-leader-levi-Shemtov.JPG
(Barry Soetero with Chabad DC chieftain, Levi Shemtov)
Chabad came to prominence under the guidance of 'The Great Rebbe' Menachem Mendel Schneerson. His policies led Chabad through a period of great expansion establishing institutions in 900 cities around the world.
'The Great Rebbe' gave regular talks on the coming of the messiah. Over time, Lubavitchers began to realize that he meant himself. The belief that Schneerson was the Messiah was first openly professed by Rabbi Shavom Dol Wolpo in a 1984 book and quickly gained acceptance.
Absurdly, even though he died in 1994 'The Great Rebbe' is still the official leader of Chabad, like 'Great Leader' Kim Il-Sung is the leader of North Korea.
In Chabad schoolhouses children chant and salute the invisible Rebbe.
RACIAL SUPREMACISTS
Chabad believes Jews are God's chosen people (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjJRzgR_biI)and everyone else is trash. In the book "Gatherings and Conversations" the Great Rebbe tells his followers that Jewish people are an extension of God and Gentiles are destined to serve the Jews.
"Two contrary types of soul exist, a non-Jewish soul comes from three satanic spheres, while the Jewish soul stems from holiness."
"A Jew was not created as a means for some [other] purpose; he himself is the purpose, since the substance of all [divine] emanations was created only to serve the Jews."
Rabbi Ginsburgh, a leading Chabad Rabbi, has argued that because Gentiles are genetically inferior to Jews, a Jew should be able to take Gentiles organs if he needs one. He was recorded saying, 'As for the goyim... Zalman's attitude (was): "Gentile souls are of a completely different and inferior order. They are totally evil, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever."
'If every single cell in a Jewish body entails divinity, is a part of God, then every strand of DNA is a part of God. Therefore, something is special about Jewish DNA.'
'If a Jew needs a liver, can you take the liver of an innocent non-Jew passing by to save him? The Torah would probably permit that. Jewish life has an infinite value.'
The Jewish Daily Forward reported a talk given by Chabad Rabbi Mani Friedman.
Asked how he thinks Jews should treat their Arab neighbors Friedman responded,
'The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle).'
ZIONIST APOLOGISTS
Chabad's extremism makes them perfect apologists for Israeli crimes. A perfect example is Alan Dershowitz, a Chabad member.
Dershowitz is the premier Zionist apologist rolled out in front of the mainstream news cameras across the world to explain that Israelis are the victims of every massacre they carry out. An unhinged and creepy individual, during a recent speech he gave at Oxford University he took off his glasses and told the students that he has "Zionist eyes" as do all "reasonable people", Dershowitz is one of many Jewish extremists in sheep's clothing who lead mainstream political discourse in the West.
As further evidence that Wikileaks is an intelligence operation, Dershowitz recently joined Julian Assange's legal team. (http://wikileaks.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/02/15/alan_dershowitz_joins_assange_legal_team_wikileaks_is_21st_century_pentagon_papers)
INFLUENCE
One of the policies of the Chabad is to send Rabbis across the world to set up Chabad houses. This movement, known as shilchus, has given Chabad a global support network.
https://www.henrymakow.com/chabadleaders2ax.jpg
Lubavitchers mix with the upper echelons of each host country. Their influence in each country varies.
The Canadian government recently gave the cult $800,000 for the building of a Chabad center in Montreal. Relations with Russia are less warm; the Russians recently refused to hand over two major collections of Chabad texts seized by early Soviet governments.
Where is Chabad's influence the greatest? You guessed it- the US.
Rabbi Shemtov is Chabad's Washington representative, and his enormous influence was illustrated when he lobbied successfully for the Great Rebbe to be posthumously awarded the congressional gold medal in 1995, the only religious leader ever to be given the award.
Rabbi Shemtov is an all-pervasive presence in D.C. Sue Fishkoff, author of 'The Rebbe's Army: Inside the World of Chabad-Lubavitch', writes:
"It's not enough that Chabad's man in D.C. knows the name and phone number of just about every congressman, senator and foreign ambassador in the nation's capital -- he also knows their legislative assistants, their secretaries and the people who clean their offices."
Shemtov says that the vast network of shelichim inside the US generates his political power.
"We have shelichimin forty-seven states and in [at least] 310 districts. ... People sometimes view the world of shelichim as three thousand people, but it's not only three thousand people, it's three thousand interconnected networks. So we can place a call from a constituent to almost any member of Congress."
"Most shelichim have good connections with their senators, congressmen and governors, who represent the most remote places in the United States. For example, when Sarah Palin, a Republican, burst onto the scene, she had already known about Jewish issues and Chabad specifically from Rabbi Yosef Greenberg in Alaska."
Members of the cast of 'Friends' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHcirV6q9G0)recorded a piece for a Chabad telethon. Bob Dylan appeared on another.
CRIMINAL AND TERROR ENTERPRISES
Chabad is a criminal organization with ties to Mossad. Chabad houses provides safe houses and storefronts for Israeli intelligence and criminal activity. (http://www.chabad-mafia.com/fraud.php) This includes everything from terrorism to money laundering, drug running to prostitution.
https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_images/chabad%20%281%29.jpg
For instance, in March 1989 U.S. law enforcement rounded up a criminal network in Seattle, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Colombia, and Israel that involved a Chabad House that was involved in money laundering and currency violations.
Wayne Madsen writes:
'In Bangkok, Israeli military pilots and drivers who stay at the Chabad House there train Thai Army commandos, divers, and pilots who are fighting a Muslim secessionist movement along the southern border with Malaysia.
'Bangkok police have long suspected Chabad House as a center for the Israeli Mafia, which runs its Ecstasy and Ice trade from Bangkok for all of Southeast and East Asia. The Israeli Mafia also reportedly runs heroin labs in Myanmar, where an Israeli military officer serves in Myanmar's feared military counter-intelligence agency.'
Retaliation against the Chabad mafia can be seen in the Mumbai terrorist attacks when Lashkar-e-Taiba militants took hostage of the Mumbai Chabad house and murdered nine Jews, including Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg.
Wayne Madsen has reported that mafia overlord Dawood Ibrahim ordered the attacks partly in response to Israeli mafia attempts to take over his Mumbai drug trade.
'[Wayne Madsen Report] has learned from Asian intelligence sources that the Russian-Israeli gangsters operating out of Chabad House tried to take over Mumbai's drug trade with the help of local Jewish mobsters so Ibrahim, while settling scores with India, the CIA, and Britain, decided to have his subcontractor LET terrorists pay a visit to Chabad House and "collect on a debt with high interest."'
Chabad are allowed to exist as a powerful international force because they serve Israel in two ways: working with them in intelligence and criminal activities, and a source of extremist ideology to fuel Zionist crimes.

Putin & Trump Following End Times Blueprint? (https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/04/Putin-and-Trump-Following-End-Times-Blueprint.html)
henrymakow.com April 11, 2017
https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_images/lazar62088.jpg
(Putin and his handler, Rabbi Berel Lazar? Armageddon needs a nudge.)
Researcher David Livingstone believes the Illuminati Plan is to fulfill the Book of Revelation, which they know is actually derived from Kabbalah. Albert Pike says as much, and bringing it about is their Great Work.
Livingstone:
"Because chaos precedes the End Times, they need to create it, (https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/04/trump-putin-chabad-charade.html) to accelerate the coming of the Messiah.
Both Trump and Putin are surrounded by Chabad, the criminal Jewish doomsday cult. (https://www.henrymakow.com/Kushner-Belongs-to-Fanatical-Jewish-Doomsday-Cult.html) Like Herzl said, the anti-Semites are the Zionists best friends, so they have both been recruiting the far right to achieve their objective. Putin to undermine the influence of NATO in Europe, and Trump to get the white vote.
It was the Russian mafia, who are closely connected to Chabad-Lubavitch, who engaged in fake news to rally the conspiracy community and the alt-right behind Trump. The only thing they care about is not white identity, or America or Russia, but Israel.
The Chabad are now hailing both Putin and Trump as the possible messiah."
Livingstone explains the end times scenario:
"It's all about the Third Temple. Solomon's Temple was first destroyed by the Babylonians, then rebuilt, and finally destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. So the goal all along has been to rebuild the Temple. It's why it's the central symbolism of Freemasonry. "Masonry" being rebuilding the Temple. Both symbolically, and ultimately, literally.
When the messiah returns, he's supposed to build the Third Temple. Orthodox Jews don't believe in accelerating that process, and believe it necessitates the presence of the messiah to fulfill. Chabad and other radical religious Zionists believe it needs to be done now. The problem is that the Third Temple has to be constructed on the Temple Mount, which is the site of al Aqsa mosque.
So they have been playing up Evangelical "Christian Zionists" on one side, and radical Muslims like ISIS on the other, who have diametrically opposed interpretations of the End Times. Both of them believe it ends with a confrontation against each other in Israel, and will hail the advent of the Messiah, who each camp thinks will be on their side.
These are Kabbalists. Because they follow the Book of Revelation like a script. And because Revelations "predicts" chaos prior to the arrival of the Messiah, they believe that sowing such chaos can hasten his arrival."
[Editor's Note: I totally agree with Putin's position on Syria and the morally bankrupt West but we must consider the possibility that it is part of a larger occult scenario. Although I do not agree with David that Pedogate was fake news, I thank him for presenting this critical information. There is something fishy about the way the West is totally in the wrong. Our annihilation will seem like divine retribution.
Furthermore, Israel and Iran are supposedly mortal enemies, yet Putin is friends with both. What's with that?]
The following is an excerpt from David's forthcoming book, Ordo ab Chao: Mad Philosophers, Conspiracy and the End of the World

DONALD TRUMP, CHABAD-LUBAVITCH AND THE OLIGARCHS (https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/04/Putin-and-Trump-Following-End-Times-Blueprint.html)
By David Livingstone (Excerpt by henrymakow.com)
Last November, Maria Zakharova, the official Russian government spokesman, said (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/if-you-want-know-how-trump-won-ask-jews-claims-russian-government-spokesperson-1592282) that to explain Trump's victory," you must talk to the Jews in Brighton Beach NY" the center of the Russian Mafia and Chabad Lubavitcher cult, which overlap.
The Chabad Lubavitcher rebbe, Berel Lazar is the chief rabbi of Russia. Referred to as "Putin's Rabbi," he appears frequently at Putin's side at public events, and is the leader of the Federation of Jewish Communities (known by its Russian acronym FEOR). Chabad members are a small fraction of Russia's small Jewish community. Adolf Shayevech, a prominent figure in the Jewish community since the late Soviet period, was considered chief rabbi until 2000, and still claims the title. The Russian Jewish Congress, the country's largest secular Jewish organization, also recognizes Shayevech.
However, FEOR had received government support, which has restored dozens of synagogues and built Jewish community centers throughout the country. "Eighty percent of all synagogues, the rabbis are Chabad," said Rabbi Alexander Boroda, the organization's chief spokesman.i Jason Greenblatt, a former Trump Organization lawyer and now a special representative for international negotiations at the White House, met with Lazar in the summer of 2016.ii
At the 2006 International Conference of Shluchim, attended by Alan Dershowitz, Lazar told the story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-SgcKeKvqQ) supposedly related to by Putin, that when he was a young child, he grew up in a very poor family, but his next neighbours who were Hassidic Jews were extremely kind to him. "He realized," recounts Lazar that, "not only were they kind to a child that wasn't Jewish, but they were kind to a child in a time and place when it was dangerous to do that."
https://www.henrymakow.com/upload_images/134079069829212341a_b.jpg
In a 2014 meeting with Lazar and chief rabbis from Israel, Europe and Russia, Putin said he "supports the struggle of Israel," was noted as a "true friend" and ally of Benjamin Netanyahu, and pledged to combat anti-Semitism and "Holocaust denial" in Russia. During the meeting the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, Yitzhak Yosef, said of Putin's rule in Russia: "according to the Jewish tradition, your leadership is decided by the kingdom of G-d, King of the world, and therefore we bless you: Blessed is the One who gave of His glory to flesh and blood."iii
TRUMP
Rabbi Hillel Weiss, the spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin, which is composed of right-wing Zionists, claimed that the American media, "tried to create a man-made reality in which Trump could not win. In the end, it did not work. Hashem is moving us towards a greater Jerusalem, and anyone who goes against that, is destined to fail."
Rabbi Yosef Berger, who oversees the final resting place of King David on Mount Zion, told Breaking Israel News. "The gematria (numerology) of his name is Moshiach (Messiah). He is connected to the Messianic process which is happening right now. When he promised to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem, he attached himself to the power of Moshiach, which gave him the boost he needed. If you separate from Jerusalem, disaster will follow." Rabbi Berger added, "As the spiritual descendant of the Biblical nation of Edom, America has a very important role to play in the Messiah. But in order to be suited for that role, America had to be humbled."iv
Orthodox scholars and rabbinic authorities generally believe that rebuilding of the Third Temple of Jerusalem, should occur in the era of the Messiah. The revived Sanhedrin contacted Trump, who has promised to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and Putin who expressed desire for the same, to join forces and fulfill their Biblically-mandated roles by rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
The revived Sanhedrin, also known as the Nascent Sanhedrin, was established in 2004. It represents the sixth attempt in recent history, after Rabbi Jacob Berab in 1538, Rabbi Yisroel of Shklov in 1830, Rabbi Aharon Mendel haCohen in 1901, Rabbi Zvi Kovsker in 1940 and Rabbi Yehuda Leib Maimon in 1949. The Nascent Sanhedrin regards itself as a provisional body awaiting integration into the Israeli government as both a supreme court and an upper house of the Knesset, while the Israeli secular press regards it as an illegitimate fundamentalist organization of rabbis.
The current Nasi of the Sanhedrin is Chabad-Lubavitcher Adin Steinsaltz, who has been hailed by Time magazine as a "once-in-a-millennium scholar."v Its long-term aims are to build the third Jewish temple on the Temple Mount. The most immediate and obvious obstacle to realization of these goals is the fact that two historic Islamic structures which are thirteen centuries old, namely the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, are built on top of the Temple Mount. Al Aqsa is the third holiest site in Sunni Islam. Muslims believe that Muhammad was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey, known as the Isra and Mi'raj.

Interesting times we are living in... from Jim Stone (http://82.221.129.208/.zn9.html):
WARNING THAT TRUMP WILL BE "TAKEN OUT" OVER NEW YEARS BECAUSE OF SWAMP KILLING EXECUTIVE ORDER IS PROBABLY LEGIT (http://82.221.129.208/.zn9.html)
Here's the deal.
Eric Schmidt of Google resigned from Google after Trump signed an executive order giving him full power to seize all assets, property, and money of anyone involved in child molestation and human trafficking.
It also allowed him to go after Hillary for Uranium One while it prevents foreigners from helping, because if they do, their American assets will be seized.
This is exactly what we needed, but there is concern that the swamp within the white house will kill him very quickly now.
None of the MSM outlets have been honest about this and I ended up hearing about it from a friend I got ahold of to get instructions for making turkey stuffing for Christmas. Anyway, it checks out.
The executive order is legit. Here it is. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/)
Ok, it is complex, so let me point out the key items.
The executive order is presented as a national emergency up front, right in the beginning.
At first it reads like he's going after foreigners which are named directly in an annex at the end. That's not what this is. The first part of the order only cements the second part of the order, to prevent American criminals from running away to foreign countries and being supported by foreigners.
To sum this up:
No swamp critter can accept help from another swamp critter in getting away,
Hillary's selling of American uranium is covered without mentioning Hillary or uranium,
Child traffickers and other human rights abuses are covered,
the stealing of and misuse of government funds is covered,
all items are covered for foreigners and U.S. citizens, any foreigners who have assets in the U.S. that have done anything against the U.S. for the purpose of supporting the American swamp will have those assets seized,
anyone in violation of anything in this executive order will have their assets seized, and to put it bluntly THEY ARE TOAST.
This will eat:
Anyone who helped or worked for Hillary (foreign and domestic)
Anyone who helped and worked for George Soros, (foreign and domestic)
Anyone involved in any pedophilia, human trafficking or anything else of the sort, it is a full on bust and it is tied in from every corner so nothing can leak out no matter where it is in the world.
More importantly, it says that anyone this targets will not be told a thing except for the foreigners specifically named in the annex at the end, all the rest are simply going to be pounced on, straight out of the blue. This executive order is what Americans asked Trump to do on day one, he's doing it, and because of this, many are predicting he will not survive for even two weeks after issuing this.
Here's the part that busts the American swamp:
Sec. 1.
(a)
[...]
(iii) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:
(A) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of:
(1) any activity described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section that is conducted by a foreign person;
(2) any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(3) any entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section, where the activity is conducted by a foreign person;
(B) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(C) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (iii)(A) or (B) of this section
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective date of this order.
Sec. 2. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1 of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and the entry of such persons into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is hereby suspended. Such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the types of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 include:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 5.
(a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term "person" means an individual or entity;
(b) the term "entity" means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and
(c) the term "United States person" means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States.
Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to this order.

Are FBI “patriots” getting ready to expose the corrupt Mueller probe? (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/12/25/are-fbi-patriots-getting-ready-to-expose-the-corrupt-mueller-probe/)
by Jon Rappoport (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/author/jonrappoport/) Dec 25 (https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/12/25/are-fbi-patriots-getting-ready-to-expose-the-corrupt-mueller-probe/), 2017
There are two parts to this article. Part one was written before the recent wave of Mueller-FBI demotion, retirement, and reassignment among key personnel. Part one is a kind of roadmap for whistleblower groups. A way to succeed.
Part two comments on the extraordinary “downsizing” of Mueller-FBI personnel, and its possible connection to FBI whistleblowers within the Bureau.
To paraphrase the Ben Bradlee character in the film, All the President’s Men, nothing much is riding on the Mueller investigation, except the presidency; the role of the mainstream press in politicizing and editorializing its coverage of the White House; the immediate future of US-Russia relations; the future of the Clintons in politics; and the intervention of the Surveillance State in the day-to-day activities of a president and his team.
PART ONE
Did the gunslinger Trump collude with Putin in a secret underground cave, thus placing Hillary on a cross of pain? Did the Clinton Foundation make slimy palm-greasing deals all over the world with high-level crooks and launder their money? Will the knight-puppet Robert Mueller uncover any part of the truth? Will His Excellency, Jeff Sessions, stir from his self-induced narcosis, look around, and find out what’s going on?
—We’ve heard a certain tune before: Honorable government employees will soon expose the crimes of such-and-so, they’ll present the evidence and testimony, and they’ll bring down the house on the heads of corrupt agencies. And then…it doesn’t happen.
At infowars, Paul Watson reports on what former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom has told Fox Business: “…patriots within the FBI are about to go public with huge new revelations that could sink the credibility of the ‘Russian collusion’ investigation.”
Against these patriots, “Kallstrom said that a ‘5th estate’ [within the FBI] has been working to sabotage President Trump, led by ‘a bunch of sycophants in the FBI’ who are guilty of ‘obstruction of justice’.”
“He [Kallstrom] added that the goal from the outset was to ‘destroy the presidency of the United States,’ a claim backed up by the revelation that top anti-Trump FBI agents had settled on an ‘insurance policy,’ namely the ‘Russian collusion’ investigation, to topple Trump if he defeated Hillary.
“The former assistant director [Kallstrom] then dropped a bombshell, suggesting that insiders within the FBI are about to go public with new revelations about Mueller and Comey.”
“’I think recent events, that I’m aware of, are going to improve that, because there’s going to be something actually something that’s going to happen in my view,’ he said.”
“’I think there’s a lot of patriots [within the FBI] that have just had it up to here, with what’s going on. And they’re to step forward and tell people what the shenanigans have been, how they shut down the Clinton Foundation investigation, how other things, you know, were done that are so anti what the FBI and United States is all about,’ Kallstrom added.”
If Kallstrom is correct in his prediction, and this isn’t just another dud, certain tactics will need to be deployed. Because there is no guarantee that major news media will cover the revelations of “disgruntled FBI agents.” In fact, major media will do everything possible to ignore, downplay, and discredit these whistleblowers.
One: The FBI whistleblowers will need to produce documents wherever possible. Memos, emails, reports, recordings.
Two: The FBI whistleblowers will need to step out into the light and reveal themselves. They will need to do this as a group.
Three: They will need to do as many press interviews as possible, and also hold their own press conferences.
Four: In all these actions, their personal security and protection will have to be very capable.
Five: They must make reference to specifics, revealing FBI actions to: 1) squash investigations into the Clintons, and 2) promote a fake hypothesis that Trump and the Russians colluded to steal the election of 2016.
Six: Generalities won’t do. They can be shot down in minute as “unfounded opinions.”
Seven: The whistleblowers must compose and build their case in honest and compelling fashion.
Eight: They must be relentless. Despite hostile criticisms and other efforts to silence them, they must persist and weather the storms. They must create enough pressure to force a breakthrough—meaning the mainstream press can no longer resist covering their revelations.
Nine: Once they go public, they must acquire support from as many members of Congress as possible.
Ten: I re-emphasize security and protection. The whistleblowers must assume they are under surveillance—with all that implies.
Eleven: They must assume their own backgrounds and personal and professional histories will come under extreme scrutiny—and lead to accusations and defamation—including fake stories.
Twelve: They should obtain the service of an excellent whistleblower attorney, who will file a lawsuit against the FBI on their behalf—even if the suit never gets off the ground.
Thirteen: By the sheer number of their press interviews (with all levels of media), they need to garner as much support as possible from the American people. This is crucial.
Fourteen: They must be able to refer the American people to the specific crimes created by this “fifth column of traitors” inside the FBI, in order to reject the notion that mere “mistakes were made,” or there were simple “errors of judgment,” or different agents “have honest differences of opinion.”
Fifteen: The one or two busiest spokespeople from the whistleblower group must be able to connect with the public. They can’t be cold fish and they can’t be blowhards slinging charges like hash in a diner.
Sixteen: The whistleblowers must insist on testifying before Congress under oath—whether or not this comes to pass. On the other hand, they can’t put all their eggs in that basket. Relying on Congress would be a huge miscalculation.
Seventeen: The whistleblowers must, wherever possible, present evidence that—in addition to squashing investigations into Clinton crimes—the specifics of these crimes were known to the FBI. And “here those specifics are.”
Eighteen: Do whatever is possible to ensure the whistleblower group isn’t infiltrated by an agent(s) from “the other side.”
As you can see, these points are applicable to many situations, where whistleblowers would step out of the shadows and level charges against their employers and colleagues.
Many of the points loosely fall under the heading of “public relations”—in the authentic, not the fake meaning of that term.
Some whistleblowers unfortunately assume that, because “they have the goods,” the truth will carry the day. This is a serious misreading of the way things work.
In a different arena—attempts to pass state measures mandating the labeling of GMO food—I wrote articles criticizing the “label-it” leaders. They were, in a general sense, “whistleblowers,” who were exposing Monsanto and other biotech firms. But their pro-labeling public relations campaigns were poorly executed, and as it turned out, they had been infiltrated at the highest levels. The truth about GMOs was never communicated with any power. The label-it forces had the goods; they just didn’t know how to use them.
You can be an expert at putting the truth together, but if you’re an amateur at putting it across to the public, things fall apart in the blink of an eye.
FBI “patriots” should take a page from the playbook of the reluctant CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson, who, in 2014, stated that he and his research colleagues falsified a key study on the effects of the MMR vaccine, thus hiding its connection to autism. Thompson acquired legal representation from a whistleblower attorney, Rick Morgan, and posted his confession on Morgan’s web page. That was step one. It gave Thompson a certain level of protection.
These FBI agents, by positioning themselves as whistleblowers, with an aggressive attorney (better yet, a large team of attorneys), can create the best possible situation for themselves.
—Press conference, a lawyer steps to the podium:
“Today, our firm, representing the men and women behind me, all agents of the FBI, are filing several whistleblower suits against the FBI, the Justice Department, and members of the Mueller special probe…these honorable and courageous agents are putting their careers and their lives on the line to serve their country, as their oath demands. The American people must know what is being done in their name, what crimes have been committed against their interests…we call on the people to rally with us as we seek justice…we also call on the Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Sessions, to support us and protect these lawsuits as they move forward…”
There is a 1960s technical term for this strategy: Heavy ****.
You might wonder whether the FBI and various players at the Justice Department would let things get to this point. We could make all sorts of guesses and predictions.
Regardless, when whistleblowers exist, if they have vital information, they plan how to go public. If the former Assistant Director of the FBI, Mr. Kallstrom, was doing more than blowing smoke the other day when he spoke with FOX, such whistleblowers exist now inside the FBI. Whatever truth they have, they are thinking about how to proceed.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way, right?
Wherever it leads.
“Sir, what do you know and when did you first know it?”
“In my case, it was when we, at the Bureau, were looking into the Clinton Foundation and when the initial charge was made that the Russians were trying to get Mr. Trump elected. Would you like me to tell the whole story and present my documents?”
“Yes, I would.”
“All right, here we go. Get ready for a few surprises.”
Sheer fantasy? It’s always fantasy until individuals turn it into reality.
We’ve heard stories before about brave patriots working within major institutions of government—groups of patriots, not lone individuals—who are fed up with corruption and lies and cover-ups—who have proof of major crimes, and who are ready to step forward.
Is this FBI scenario just another story, a wishful hope?
Or is it something more?
Working as a reporter for the past 35 years, I’ve had occasional contact with whistleblowers—individuals and groups. The lone individuals tend to be smarter. The groups often come up with a strategy that is unworkable and foolish. That’s the liability of having a group. People lend to sink to the lowest common denominator. What they manage to agree on is a function of “what they believe they’re supposed to do”—a template snatched from various fantasies which will have very little PENETRATING AND LASTING IMPACT.
PART TWO
Among the Mueller-FBI personnel, a rather remarkable downsizing is occurring.
Peter Strzok: This FBI agent was a key figure in investigations of the Hillary Clinton email server, and the purported Russian influence in the 2016 US presidential election. Strzok was the lead FBI agent on Muller’s team probing the Russian-influence theory. Muller fired Strzok from his team, when Strzok’s anti-Trump text messages surfaced.
Andrew McCabe: The deputy director of the FBI has just announced he will retire. He has been under fire, amid charges he was biased in favor of Hillary Clinton during the FBI investigation of her private email server. McCabe’s wife, in her run for a seat in the Virginia State Senate, received a donation of $675,000 from “the Virginia Democratic Party and Common Good VA, the political action committee of [Terry] McAuliffe, a longtime friend and supporter of both Hillary and Bill Clinton who is now the outgoing governor of Virginia,” the Washington Examiner reported.
Jim Baker: He has been “reassigned.” The Examiner: “Baker, who became general [FBI] counsel under [FBI Director James] Comey, has come under scrutiny by congressional Republicans investigating whether he leaked information [to the media] from the infamous Trump dossier, which contains unverified claims about Trump’s deep ties to Russia.”
Bruce Ohr: FOX: “A senior Justice Department official was demoted…amid an ongoing investigation into his contacts with the opposition research firm responsible for the anti-Trump ‘dossier,’ the department confirmed to Fox News.”
There is increasing pressure on other FBI-DOJ-Mueller officials—including Mueller himself—because of conflicts of interest and/or concealment of the roles they’ve played in the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations, as well as the Uranium One deal.
It is possible that FBI insiders/agents, who are fed up with political bias inside the FBI-DOJ-Mueller nexus, have assisted in the effort to downsize the Mueller forces.
If so, this would be another whistleblower strategy, a covert one. Instead of stepping out of the shadows as a group, these agents would leak information to loyal Trump appointees, who in turn would take action.
An internal struggle is taking place.
However, covert insider actions, such as these, are only valuable in the short run. If the corruption within the FBI and the DOJ are going to be exposed at a deeper level (and there may be no bottom, when all cards are laid on the table), whistleblowers will have to come out into the open, with a large and coherent case.
The Trump, anti-Trump situation is but the latest in a long line of clues about federal law-enforcement bias. For example, here is one thread among many:
In 2014-15, stories appeared in the press about the phenomenal corruption of the FBI evidence lab. But since then, there has been very little follow-up. I find no compelling evidence that the federal government has fixed the problem.
April 20, 2015, The Atlantic:
“…the Washington Post made clear Saturday in an article that begins with a punch to the gut… ‘Nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000,’ the newspaper reported, adding that ‘the cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death’.”
August 12, 2014, New Scientist:
“…the initial results were released of an ongoing review of thousands of criminal cases in which FBI scientists’ testimony may have led to wrongful convictions – including for some people now on death row…[an FBI source states] ’we teach these people [lab techs in training] for two weeks, and they would go back to their laboratories with a certificate of completion and be told: Great you’re qualified to do this [analysis of evidence] – here’s your caseload.’”
Two years after the Oklahoma City Bombing bombing, on March 22, 1997, we had this from CNN:
“The Justice Department inspector general’s office has determined that the FBI crime laboratory working on the Oklahoma City bombing case made ‘scientifically unsound’ conclusions that were ‘biased in favor of the prosecution,’ The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.”
“…[FBI] supervisors approved lab reports that they ‘cannot support’ and…FBI lab officials may have erred about the size of the blast, the amount of explosives involved and the type of explosives used in the bombing[!].”
“…harshest criticism was of David Williams, a supervisory agent in the [FBI] explosives unit, the paper [LA Times] said. Those flaws reportedly include the basis of his determination that the main charge of the explosion was ammonium nitrate. The inspector general called such a determination ‘inappropriate,’ the Times said.”
“…FBI officials found a receipt for ammonium nitrate at defendant [Terry] Nichols’ home and, because of that discovery, Williams slanted his conclusion to match the evidence.”
Let that one sink in.
The deeper you go, the more crimes you find.

Furthermore, anyone in the United States who aids or participates in said corruption or human rights abuses by foreign parties is subject to frozen assets - along with any U.S. corporation who employs foreigners deemed to have engaged in corruption on behalf of the company.

Earlier this week, we highlighted the case of a sailor in the U.S. Navy (https://legalinsurrection.com/2016/08/sailor-facing-prison-over-submarine-photos-cites-hillary-as-defense/) who was being prosecuted for using his phone to take pictures in a nuclear submarine. His lawyer cited Hillary Clinton as a defense.
At the time, I said:
Cases like these highlight the growing feeling among many Americans that there are two sets of rules in this country and that some people are above the law if they have the right connections.
Unfortunately for the sailor, the Clinton defense didn’t work. U.S. News and World Report has the story (http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-08-19/sailor-denied-clinton-deal-gets-1-year-in-prison-for-6-photos-of-sub):

FBI Chief FOIA Officer: "Every Single Memo Comey Leaked Was Classified" (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-05/fbi-chief-foia-officer-every-single-memo-comey-leaked-was-classified)

As James Comey trots around the country on his book-selling tour, tweeting bible quotes and nature scenes, a less serene series of events is playing out in Washington D.C. which suggests the former FBI Director may be in trouble over the memos he leaked to Columbia law professor Daniel Richman, allegedly detailing conversations (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-16/comeys-revenge-leaks-memo-nyt-saying-trump-asked-him-end-flynn-investigation)between Comey and President Trump.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/170517210646-comey-mueller-super-tease%20%282%29.jpg
James Comey, Daniel Richman
While Richman told CNN "No memo was given to me that was marked 'classified,' and James Comey told Congressional investigators he tried to "write it in such a way that I don't include anything that would trigger a classification," it appears the FBI's chief FOIA officer disagrees.
While we previously reported (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-04/least-one-four-comey-memos-passed-new-york-times-contained-classified-info) that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said four of the 7 Comey memos he reviewed were "marked classified" at the "Secret" or "Confidential" level - tonight we find out that every single Comey memo was classified at the time, per Judicial Watch director of investigations Chris Farrell - who has a signed declaration from the FBI's chief FOIA officer to that effect:
We have a sworn declaration from David Hardy who is the chief FOIA officer of the FBI that we obtained just in the last few days, and in that sworn declaration, Mr. Hardy says that all of Comey's memos - all of them, were classified at the time they were written, and they remain classified. -Chris Farrell, Judicial Watch
Therefore, Farrell points out, Comey mishandled national defense information when he "knowingly and willfully" leaked them to his friend at Columbia University.
It's also mishandling of national defense information, which is a crime. So it's clear that Mr. Comey not only authored those documents, but then knowingly and willfully leaked them to persons unauthorized, which is in and of itself a national security crime. Mr. Comey should have been read his rights back on June 8th when he testified before the Senate.
In closing, Farrell tells Dobbs
"Recently retired and active duty FBI agents have told me - and it's several of them, they consider Comey to be a dirty cop."

From Jim Stone:
Trump ended the death tax (http://82.221.129.208/.zl3.html)
The inheritance tax would take a majority of assets from anyone who died. Trump said "now you can keep the farm".
From Breitbart (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/08/standing-ovation-president-trump-touts-end-death-tax-keep-farms-family/) (sans Bannon, yeay)
by Michelle Moons (http://www.breitbart.com/author/michelle-moons/) 8 Jan 2018
Attendees of the American Farm Bureau Annual Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, rose to their feet with boisterous praise on Monday when President Donald Trump heralded the end of the death tax in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
During his speech at the convention, Trump pointed out that not one Democrat voted for the Republican congressional leadership's tax cut plan.
The president focused on the effect on farmers of reduction of regulatory burdens and change in the estate tax under the new tax law:
All American businesses, including American farmers, will be able to deduct 100% of the cost of new equipment in the year you make the investment. That is something that I think is going to be the sleeper of the bill, you deduct it all in one year as opposed to over many years, that’s a tremendous thing.
And from now on, most family farms and small business owners will be spared, and you're gonna be spared and it really is the word punishment, of the deeply unfair estate tax known as the death tax - so you can keep your farms in the family.
The estate tax comments were met with huge applause and a standing ovation from the crowd. Trump even stepped back from the podium for a moment as the crowd rose.
"Obviously you love your families or you wouldn't be standing for that one," Trump went on.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
A review of a classified document outlining what is described as extensive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse was made available to all House members Thursday and the revelations could lead to the removal of senior officials in the FBI and Department of Justice, several sources with knowledge of the document stated. These sources say the report is "explosive," stating they would not be surprised if it leads to the end of Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation into President Trump and his associates.
The House Intelligence Committee passed the motion along party lines Thursday to make the classified report alleging extensive 'FISA Abuse' related to the controversial dossier available to all House members. The report contains information regarding the dossier that alleges President Trump and members of his team colluded with the Russians in the 2016 presidential election. Some members of the House viewed the document in a secure room Thursday.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered the motion on Thursday to make the Republican majority-authored report available to the members.
"The document shows a troubling course of conduct and we need to make the document available, so the public can see it," said a senior government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the document. "Once the public sees it, we can hold the people involved accountable in a number of ways."
The government official said that after reading the document "some of these people should no longer be in the government."
The document also apparently outlines "several problematic" issues with how FISA warrants were "packaged, and used" state several sources with knowledge of the report.
Over the past year, whistleblowers in the law enforcement and intelligence community have revealed to Congress what they believe to be extensive abuse with regard to FISA surveillance, as previously reported. (https://saraacarter.com/2017/12/14/whos-spying-on-who-fbis-use-of-nsa-surveillance-program-needs-to-be-investigated-say-whistleblowers/)
The dossier was used in part as evidence for a warrant to surveil members of the Trump campaign, according to a story published this month (https://saraacarter.com/2018/01/10/was-the-dnc-clinton-campaign-funded-dossier-used-to-obtain-trump-fisa-warrant/). Former British spy Christopher Steele, who compiled the dossier in 2016, was hired by embattled research firm Fusion GPS. The firm's founder is Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who has already testified before Congress in relation to the dossier. In October, The Washington Post revealed for the first time that it was the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC that financed Fusion GPS.
Congressional members are hopeful that the classified information will be declassified and released to the public.
"We probably will get this stuff released by the end of the month," stated a congressional member, who asked not to be named.
But the government official, who viewed the document said:
"it will be tough for a lot of people to see this and especially the media, which has been attempting to deemphasize the dossier. It's going to punch a hole in their collusion narrative."
The House vote to make the report available to all members is a major step in exposing the long-guarded classified documents obtained by the House Intelligence Committee over the past year. It allows members of the House to view the report and could quickly lead to a motion to declassify the report for the public, numerous House members told this reporter.
"It's a (House Intelligence) committee document that deals with the assessment on the Department of Justice, FBI and the oversight work that is being conducted by the committee," said a congressional source, which spoke on condition that they not be named.

Trump is smarter than he is given credit to be.
Remember he was chosen for a reason by the "ones who control."
Very soon we will see why, and we will be glad.
The country NEEDED him.
Call him any name you like but "stupid" is not one to call him.
The enemies of the country are not well known, but they soon will be.

According to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, 50,000 text messages were exchanged between Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page. These 50,000 text messages do not include the 'missing' texts. Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) said after reviewing the new text messages he believes there may have been a "secret society" of folks within the DOJ and FBI working against Trump.
Fox News reports (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/22/questions-grow-over-fbis-missing-strzok-page-text-messages.html):
More than 50,000 texts were exchanged between two FBI officials who have come under fire for exchanging anti-Trump messages during the 2016 election, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Monday.
The figure surfaced as lawmakers have been pressing for answers after revelations that the FBI "failed to preserve" five months of texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
"We will leave no stone unturned to confirm with certainty why these text messages are not now available to be produced and will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable from another source," Sessions said in a statement provided to Fox News. "If we are successful, we will update the congressional committees immediately."
"After reviewing the voluminous records on the FBI's servers, which included over 50,000 texts, the Inspector General discovered the FBI's system failed to retain text messages for approximately 5 months between December 14, 2017 to May 17, 2017," Sessions said. The '50,000' number does not include the 'missing' text messages, according to Fox News.
Rep. Ratcliffe and Trey Gowdy spoke with Fox News after the news broke about the 50,000 new text messages.
Ratcliffe said,
"What we learned today in the thousands of text messages that we've reviewed that perhaps they may not have done that (checked their bias at the door). There's certainly a factual basis to question whether or not they acted on that bias. We know about this insurance policy that was referenced in trying to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president."
"We learned today from information that in the immediate aftermath of his election that there may have been a 'secret society' of folks within the Department of Justice and the FBI to include Page and Strzok to be working against him."
[see video at link (https://twitter.com/_/status/955597493592645632)]
Gowdy also went off about the new Strzok and Page text messages.
[see video at link (https://twitter.com/_/status/955595942270562305)]
Rep. Ratcliffe also tweeted about the new text messages he reviewed Monday along with Trey Gowdy.
"The thousands of texts @TGowdySC (https://twitter.com/TGowdySC) and I reviewed today revealed manifest bias among top FBI officials against @realDonaldTrump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump). The texts between Strzok and Page referenced a "secret society."" Ratcliffe tweeted.

US House Intel Committee Will Release FBI Anti-Trump Memo (https://sputniknews.com/us/201801301061174377-house-release-memo/)

Late Monday evening the United States House Intelligence Committee voted in favor of releasing a memo by Republican Rep. Devin Nunes that allegedly shows how the FBI abused its powers and demonstrated bias during its investigation into connections between the Trump campaign and Russia.
US President Donald Trump had called for the memo to be declassified.
"Today this committee voted to put the president's personal interest, perhaps their own political interest, above the national interest," Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) told reporters after the announcement.
The memo purports to show that the FBI has a clear anti-Trump bias. When the US Justice Department urged lawmakers last week not to release the memo while Trump was in Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, the president fumed in anger, Bloomberg reported.
The Justice Department warned that revealing the memo might give away "sources and methods" used by the US to collect classified information. "Usually it's about keeping the American public in the dark, and not about protect the US or the American public from foreign enemies as is the claim… those who don't want it out, don't want it out because it will hurt them politically, not because it has any particular national security significance," professor Dan Kovalik of the University of Pittsburg School of Law told Sputnik Radio's Loud & Clear (https://www.facebook.com/Loudandclearbrianbecker/) on Monday.
Some reports indicate the memo shows that the FBI used the inflammatory and almost-entirely unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele as a basis for expanding surveillance against targets related to Trump under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

Now that the committee voted to make the memo public, Trump has five days to formally decide whether it should be made public.

The House committee conducted a separate vote in which it was decided a Democrat-composed memo countering Nunes' memo would not be released.
As recently as January 23, Trump tweeted, "Where are the 50,000 important text messages between FBI lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok?" Both worked for Robert Mueller's special counsel probe, which is investigating claims of collusion with Russia, at one point, and also reportedly engaged in an extramarital affair.
Strozk was also part of the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails during the 2016 election. Conservatives have argued Strozk's anti-Trump bias, highlighted in text conversations, shows the FBI probe into Clinton was corrupt on some level, an argument that dates back to when Bill Clinton met with then-US Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Arizona. As head of the Justice Department, Lynch technically oversaw the FBI probe into Clinton's servers. The secret tarmac meeting created a perception that the DOJ's case against Clinton was never going to go very far.

After excoriating the FBI for failing to act (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-18/trump-lashes-out-fbi-and-hr-mcmaster-saturday-night-tweets) on multiple tips about "professional school shooter" Nikolas Cruz's murderous intentions, and criticizing National Security Adviser HR McMaster over his Russia collusion comments, President Donald Trump shifted his focus toward one of his favorite targets, House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff, whom he "congratulated" for finally acknowledging that the Obama administration is responsible for any attempted interference by Russia during the 2016 election.
In one of his more memorable turns of phrase, Trump lauded "Liddle Adam Schiff", whom he branded the "leakin monster of no control", for finally "blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!"
Trump also expressed his amazement that nobody in federal law enforcement or Congress tried to stop the Obama administration from handing over nearly $2 billion in cash to Iran. The cash transfers were first reported (https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sent-two-more-planeloads-of-cash-to-iran-after-initial-payment-1473208256) by the Wall Street Journal in September 2016. The administration defended its actions by saying it was merely returning the money, which belonged to Iranian entities, but had been frozen because of sanctions.

Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!
4:22 AM - 18 Feb 2018 Trump also repeated that he "never denied" the Russians tried to interfere in the election - he only denied that the Trump campaign in any way coordinated with the Russians...

I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!
4:33 AM - 18 Feb 2018 ... and he lamented that Schiff was probably only now blaming Obama for Russian interference to create another Democratic excuse for why Hillary Clinton lost to Trump, a "great candidate."

Now that Adam Schiff is starting to blame President Obama for Russian meddling in the election, he is probably doing so as yet another excuse that the Democrats, lead by their fearless leader, Crooked Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 election. But wasn’t I a great candidate?
4:43 AM - 18 Feb 2018 Putting it all together, given the hysteria surrounding Russian interference during the 2016 election, the multiple investigations and countless public resources wasted, if it was Russia's intention to create chaos in the US, then they've "succeeded beyond their wildest dreams", Trump claimed."They're probably "laughing their asses off in Moscow," he added.

5:46 AM - 18 Feb 2018 He ended his ranting (at least for now) with a tweet about a Republican pollster tabulating that the odds of the GOP retaining its Congressional majorities during the coming mid-term elections have been climbing, which the president attributed to his tax cut reform.

Great Pollster John McLaughlin now has the GOP up in the Generic Congressional Ballot. Big gain over last 4 weeks. I guess people are loving the big Tax Cuts given them by the Republicans, the Cuts the Dems want to take away. We need more Republicans!
5:55 AM - 18 Feb 2018 Trump has gone silent, but with Adam Schiff scheduled to appear on CNN's State of the Union this morning - and Attorney General Jeff Sessions set to be interviewed by Maria Bartiromo - it's likely we haven't heard the last from the president during this long, President's Day weekend.

The redacted copies of notes that former FBI Director James Comey made following his meetings with President Trump, have been leaked online, after the Justice Department released them to Congress.
The documents, obtained by Associated Press, appeared online (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4442900/Ex-FBI-Director-James-Comey-s-memos.pdf) on Thursday evening, shortly after they were sent to the chairs of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Intelligence committees by the DOJ.
Earlier this week, House Judiciary chair Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia), Oversight chair Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) and Intelligence chair Devin Nunes (R-California) told the justice department there was "no legal basis for withholding these materials from Congress."

Comey revealed the existence of the memos after he was fired by President Donald Trump in May 2017. He leaked the contents of four memos to the press through a friend, and testified in the Senate that his intent was to have a special counsel appointed to investigate Trump.

Jay Sekulow
An attorney for Trump, Jay Sekulow announced Wednesday the American Center for Law and Justice uncovered thousands of documents showing Clinton Foundation pay-to-play with Hillary's State Department through a FOIA lawsuit.
We have uncovered a 'favor factory' the ACLJ reported on Wednesday.
There was no firewall between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation as Hillary previously claimed to the public (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-111shrg54615/html/CHRG-111shrg54615.htm).
Via the ACLJ (https://aclj.org/government-corruption/it-was-a-favor-factory-deep-state-forced-to-turn-thousands-of-clinton-era-state-department-emails-to-about-the-clinton-foundation-debunking-supposed-firewall?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Informational&utm_content=Government%20Corruption&sf88754787=1):
As part of our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Deep State Department, we have been informed that the State Department has located - and will be forced to turn over to the ACLJ - literally thousands of documents to and about the Clinton Foundation, its subsidiaries, and its senior operatives during the duration of Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of State.
The shear volume alone - some 30,000 emails - debunks the specious assertion that there was any kind of firewall whatsoever between Clinton's State Department and the Clinton Foundation.
These documents (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/Full-Clinton-Email-production-Mar-Apr.pdf), only now being uncovered through our FOIA request and subsequent litigation, show extensive communications exchanged between Clinton or her senior staff at State Department and Doug Band - a senior aid at the Clinton Foundation and creator (https://www.teneoholdings.com/leaders/doug_band) of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).
In recent court filings, the State Department has revealed (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/Doc.-52.-Status-Report_Redacted.pdf) that more than 8,700 documents exist in Cheryl Mills' and/or Huma Abedin's files which contain the single search term, "Doug Band." It is possible, and indeed likely, that each document consists of several pages placing the number closer to 18,000 pages or more.
The ACLJ has also learned through our litigation that another 22,000 documents exist in Cheryl Mills' and Huma Abedin's files (not including attachments) mentioning or referring to the Clinton Foundation or a related term referencing the foundation. Newly released documents show Doug Band served as a liaison for Clinton Foundation donors looking for favors and official acts from the Clinton-run State Department, the ACLJ reported.
Doug Band was the 'go-to' guy for Clinton Foundation donors. If they needed anything from Hillary Clinton, they would email Doug Band and within minutes he would forward the message to Huma Abedin and or Cheryl Mills to help expedite the favor.
For example:
An email (http://media.aclj.org/pdf/Clinton-Classified-Email-(fn-8).pdf) dated December 6, 2010 (tucked away at the very end of the State Department's most recent production) reveals that Secretary Clinton, upon receiving information that we now know to be classified from a State Department employee, forwarded the classified information via her private email account (HDR22@clintonemail.com) on to various individuals outside the State Department including senior associates at the Clinton Foundation - Justin Cooper and Doug Band. She writes in her email to "print for Bill."
Of course most of the information contained in the email has been redacted (and won't be unclassified until 2025) but it appears that the classified communications relate to the investigation into Nobel prize winner Muhammad Yunus's alleged diversion of foreign aid from the non-profit Bank he chaired (a bank specifically fashioned to provide loans to the poorest of people on easy terms). It is of no surprise - given what we know about the former Secretary's abuse of her office to grant favors to Foundation donors and supporters - that Yunus was also a donor (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/emails-show-hillarys-deep-involvement-in-bank-investigation/article/2573299) to the Clinton Foundation. The ACLJ stated they will be receiving Clinton documents at a pace of approximately 300-600 pages per month.
Jay Sekulow sounded off on Twitter. "You need to read this to believe it."
The @ACLJ (https://twitter.com/ACLJ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) just uncovered a stunning revelation about the extent to which the #Clinton (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Clinton?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) State Department colluded with the #ClintonFoundation (https://twitter.com/hashtag/ClintonFoundation?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).

Despite being constantly at odds with liberal mainstream media - often calling them 'fake news' - Donald Trump has told his supporters that even having to tolerate CNN is a much better alternative to censorship.
Talking to his supporters at a rally in Charleston, West Virginia, President Trump firmly warned them against embracing censorship of opposite viewpoints no matter how much opposite they are.
"You can't pick one person and say 'well we don't like what he's been saying, he's out,'" Trump said, pushing back against censorship of any social media accounts, regardless of political affiliation. "You can't have censorship," he added, because "it can turn around, it can be them next."

"So we'll live with fake news. I mean I hate to say it but we have no choice because that's by far the better alternative," Trump explained. "I would rather have fake news than have anybody - including liberals, socialists, anything - than have anybody stopped and censored."
Trump has repeatedly accused US news outlets critical of the administration as 'fake news.' In addition to CNN, the president has called out the Washington Post, The New York Times, MSNBC, and other liberal outlets for spreading false and deliberately out-of-context information.
While on one hand defending the First Amendment, Trump in October of last year spurred a massive backlash after suggesting that the government must review the licenses of some news networks. "With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License?" he asked in a tweet. "Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked."

The president's comments came after several top social media platforms banned the accounts of controversial political commentator Alex Jones.

"Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!" he said in one of his messages.
While speaking out against censorship, back in July Trump said that his administration will look into "shadow banning" practices on Twitter which reduce the visibility of certain people on the platform, which the US president believes affects the conservative voices.

The people drinking the MSM Kool-Aid probably think what Trump said about censorship is just a bunch of double-speak, but he's been refreshingly consistent in his support of the (modern conservative interpretation) of the US Constitution all along.
If we could just go back to the original meaning of the 10th Amendment and the Bill of Rights as a whole...

President Trump in an exclusive interview with Hill.TV said Tuesday he ordered the release of classified documents in the Russia collusion case to show the public the FBI probe started as a "hoax" and that exposing it could become one of the "crowning achievements" of his presidency.
"What we've done is a great service to the country, really," Trump said in a 45-minute, wide-ranging interview in the Oval Office.
"I hope to be able to call this, along with tax cuts and regulation and all the things I've done ... in its own way this might be the most important thing because this was corrupt," he said.
Trump also said he regretted not firing former FBI Director James Comey immediately instead of waiting until May 2017, confirming an account his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, gave Hill.TV earlier in the day that Trump was dismayed in 2016 by the way Comey handled the Hillary Clinton email case and began discussing firing him well before he became president.
"If I did one mistake with Comey, I should have fired him before I got here. I should have fired him the day I won the primaries," Trump said.
"I should have fired him right after the convention, say I don't want that guy. Or at least fired him the first day on the job. ... I would have been better off firing him or putting out a statement that I don't want him there when I get there."
Trump has offered different reasons in the past for his firing of the FBI chief, blaming Comey's handling of the Clinton case but also linking it to Comey's actions in the Russia investigation.
The president also called into question the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation, again criticizing it for surveilling his campaign.
He criticized the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court's approval of the warrant that authorized surveillance of Carter Page, a low-level Trump campaign aide, toward the end of the 2016 presidential race, suggesting the FBI misled the court.
"They know this is one of the great scandals in the history of our country because basically what they did is, they used Carter Page, who nobody even knew, who I feel very badly for, I think he's been treated very badly. They used Carter Page as a foil in order to surveil a candidate for the presidency of the United States."
As for the judges on the secret intelligence court:
"It looks to me, just based on your reporting, that they have been misled," the president said, citing a series of columns in The Hill identifying shortcomings in the FBI investigation.
"I mean I don't think we have to go much further than to say that they've been misled."
"One of the things I'm disappointed in is that the judges in FISA didn't, don't seem to have done anything about it. I'm very disappointed in that. Now, I may be wrong because, maybe as we sit here and talk, maybe they're well into it. We just don't know that because I purposely have not chosen to get involved," Trump said.
The president spared no words in criticizing Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, lawyer Lisa Page and other FBI officials who started the probe. He recited specific text messages Page and Strzok traded while having an affair and investigating his campaign, arguing the texts showed they condoned leaks and conducted a bogus probe.
Those texts are to be released as a result of Trump's announcement on Monday.
"It's a hoax, beyond a witch hunt," he said.
Trump cited one text released recently in which Strzok and Page appear to discuss getting McCabe to approve an expansion of the Russia case right after Comey is fired.
"Comey was a bad guy. He gets fired. They only have Andy left because they know they're doing wrong," the president said in describing how he felt wronged by the FBI.
He denounced the FBI for leaking to create what he said was a false narrative against him, saying it appeared to be an "insurance policy" to destroy his presidency if he won.
"Number one, how illegal is it? And number two, how low is it?" he said.
"What we have now is an insurance policy," the president said.
"But it has been totally discredited, even Democrats agree that it has been discredited. They are not going to admit to it, but it has been totally discredited. I think, frankly, more so by text than by documents."
Trump said he had not read the documents he ordered declassified but said he expected to show they would prove the FBI case started as a political "hoax."
"I have had many people ask me to release them. Not that I didn't like the idea but I wanted to wait, I wanted to see where it was all going," he said.
In the end, he said, his goal was to let the public decide by seeing the documents that have been kept secret for more than two years. "All I want to do is be transparent," he said.
Asked what he thought the outcome of his long-running fight with the FBI, the president said:
"I hope to be able put this up as one of my crowning achievements that I was able to ... expose something that is truly a cancer in our country."

From Jim Stone:
Something huge is happening in the MSM (http://82.221.129.208/.ye1.html)
The MSM is now allowing it to be said that Comey and others are criminals and will be arrested. Not all outlets, (in fact, only a few outlets) but if ANY MSM outlet mentions this without rebutting it and shredding it, it represents a change of tides - and may signal the end of the deep state is near.
It is not just one incident. We have many different cases over the last few days. Here is a great one:

http://thepythoniccow.us/mueller8.jpg
There may be a 'deal', with Mueller backing off of Trump, and Trump's people agreeing to not 'go nuclear' with the file that could send Robert Mueller to prison. In a simpler world, Robert Mueller would be forced to resign immediately, but the Deep State intel gang prefers something 'smoother' and 'less disturbing', though it is admitted Mueller is now damaged goods.

Four weeks ago, on 25 October 2018, a file quietly arrived at the Office of US Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz, which has not only shaken the US Justice Dept to its core, but also became the great fall season gift to the lawyers for US President Trump and his associates, their 'trump card' against Special Counsel prosecutor Robert Mueller.
This 28-page explosive document (https://www.docdroid.net/eVAAjIq/doj-ig-memo-mueller-bribery-extortion.pdf) was apparently one of the last documents read by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions before he resigned. Sessions was seemingly overwhelmed; the file part of his quick agreement to go out the door. Sessions commenting enigmatically afterwards that the 'Mueller investigation had gone on too long'.

The DOJ filing, by Dr.Les Sachs (https://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2016/09/22/from-the-9-21-16-ian-greenhalgh-vt-article-a-few-more-highlights/), a former DOJ employee now under EU protection, is a devastating summary of international crimes implicating Mueller. It was immediately recognised as being very well-founded in DOJ's own files, and Trump's lawyers know this as well.
Lawyers for US President Trump and his son Don Trump Jr that have been able to benefit from this prize DOJ file, include Pat Cipollone, Jay Sekulow, Marc Kasowitz, Martin and Jane Riskin, and Alan Futerfas. Also, e.g., lawyers for longtime Trump friend and Mueller target Roger Stone, such as Bruce Rogow, Robert Buschel and Grant Smith.
The file, however, not only casts a dark cloud over Mueller, but over the entire US legal system. Both Mueller and another DOJ high official were involved in bribery with two US federal judges. They served a British-based criminal group that used Mueller's law firm to defrauded millions out of a Hillary donor with Mueller getting a big share of the dosh after he left the FBI.
"Robert Mueller has received a share of foreign-origin and crime-generated funds, sourced in a British-based criminal group, which actively seeks to undermine, disable or remove the Trump-Sessions government; and how Mueller is in position to secure further millions by politically-biased devious actions serving his paymasters, who fear felony indictment under Trump-Sessions administration, Robert Mueller is quite unfit to continue in the role that he has. Robert Mueller should be preparing himself to face a grand jury, not calling others to one."

(Obama, Comey & Mueller. "Deal" in the offing?)
But because bribery of US federal judges and DOJ high officials is so unsettling a topic, DOJ and Trump's lawyers are handling the file very gingerly. Adding further pressure, the USA 'Deep State' intel agencies, are also implicated in the crimes tied to Mueller. These include participating in past cover-ups and planting false material on the internet, CIA-managed Wikipedia postings, smears of the author, etc.
The USA intel Deep State establishment is a factor in current interplay amongst Trump's lawyers, and Mueller and DOJ, with a Deep State 'push' to keep the DOJ filing under the radar.
It is suggested there may be a 'deal', with Mueller backing off of Trump, and Trump's people agreeing to not 'go nuclear' with the file that could send Robert Mueller to prison. In a simpler world, Robert Mueller would be forced to resign immediately, but the Deep State intel gang prefers something 'smoother' and 'less disturbing', though it is admitted Mueller is now damaged goods.
Apparently, due to Google manipulating search results, this article may be hidden, if certain names and details are in the text, such as the DOJ filing's author (whom I have met personally in European Commission precincts). Those who are interested can read the file at the link below for all details, names, who is said to have been bribed, how it was done, etc.
A notable aspect of the file, is that key media agitating against the President - NY Times, Boston Globe, CNN, UK Guardian etc - are said to be doing so, in part because these media outlets fear felony indictment in the schemes with Mueller, due to having taken bribes to create 'fake news.' They worked with Mueller's law firm to advance the Mueller-tied scheme.

Also, as the file notes, extraditions to the USA are already being blocked because other countries are using files on the Mueller-tied crimes, which are somewhat hidden from the internet. Google's lawyers are named in the DOJ file as being actively involved to suppress information on these offences, despite past court filings etc.
Amusingly, 'Mueller has been helping Russia', given that Russia has also been able to quietly use the 'Mueller crime file' to stop extradition to the USA of Russian citizens.
Here is the 28-page DOJ filing:
'Report on evidence of felonies violating Civil Rights, and bribery by foreign agents, implicating United States Special Counsel Robert S Mueller III as a criminally-tainted agent of foreign & racketeering interests'

The DOJ filing, by Dr.Les Sachs (https://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2016/09/22/from-the-9-21-16-ian-greenhalgh-vt-article-a-few-more-highlights/), a former DOJ employee now under EU protection, is a devastating summary of international crimes implicating Mueller. It was immediately recognised as being very well-founded in DOJ's own files, and Trump's lawyers know this as well.
The following page claims to describe in a bit more detail when and to where this document was distributed, and provides another copy of it: https://el.saianarchy.com/2018/10/27/mueller/
This page begins with the following, before including the contents of the document itself:
This document was faxed directly to Justice Department Inspector General Horowitz on Thursday, 25 October 2018, and another Justice Department fax number, the fax transmission confirmed.
It was also faxed and e-mailed to lawyers for President John Donald Trump and his son, at their law firm offices, with confirmed transmissions, lawyers including:
Jay Sekulow
Marc Kasowitz
Pat Cipollone (in contact with acting White House counsel Emmet Flood, perhaps soon to take that job permanently)
Martin and Jane Riskin
Alan Futerfas
Regarding the filing, the US Department of Justice Public Affairs Officer for media contact is Sarah Isgur Flore, tel. (202) 514-2007.
It can also be viewed in easy-to-read .pdf form with formatting, on DocDroid, here:

Or Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/NJmpr3UT
I have also made a copy of this pdf at doj-ig-memo-mueller-bribery-extortion.pdf (http://thepythoniccow.us/doj-ig-memo-mueller-bribery-extortion.pdf), and it is also available at http://themillenniumreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DOJ-IG-memo-Mueller-bribery-extortion.pdf
===
Note however, that
I cannot vouch for this document in any significant way,
it is written in a rather suspect informal style,
I cannot find any earlier posts, ever, on ProjectAvalon.net of any other document from Sai Anarchy (saianarchy.com) (https://el.saianarchy.com),
Sai Anarchy (saianarchy.com) (https://el.saianarchy.com) filed this document under their "DisInfo" category,
I cannot find any previous mentions of one Mr "Les Sachs" on ProjectAvalon.net, and
the document incorrectly refers to the US President as John Donald Trump, not Donald John Trump.

In my view the document is rubbish. I think Benjamin Fulford had a hand in it, I say somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I was a few paragraphs into it when I concluded it is not founded in fact, indeed few facts are mentioned. Nothing to sink one's teeth into and nothing that would make Mueller or anyone else even bat an eye, let alone make them nervous and seek legal counsel. I quit reading after page 11 and I had to force myself to get that far.

Mueller investigation was 'total nonsense' targeted at domestic US audience - Putin (https://www.rt.com/news/455998-putin-on-mueller-investigation-nonsense/)

The investigation by Robert Mueller was only aimed at home consumption and revealed a crisis in the US political system, Vladimir Putin said in his first comment on the probe, which found no collusion between Trump and Russia.
"This is complete nonsense, which was only aimed at a domestic audience [in the US]," the Russian president said on the investigation, which topped the headlines in the mainstream media for months, but turned-out fruitless.
"Such attacks on Trump are elements of a crisis in the political system of the US," he added.
There's an evident divide among the US elites as "the party interests are put ahead of those of the nation and society," Putin explained.
Putin said that "from the start, we said that Mr Muller's notorious commission is not going to find anything."
"We knew better than anybody - Russia has never interfered with any US election. There was no collusion between Trump and Russia that Mueller" was investigating.
The Mueller probe has caused much fuss but predictably did not find any evidence to prove Donald Trump colluded with Russia, Vladimir Putin has said (https://www.rt.com/news/456005-mueller-probe-montain-brought-forth-mouse/), sarcastically likening it to a "mountain bringing forth a mouse."
"We said from the very beginning that this Mueller commission will find nothing because we know it better than anyone: Russia did not meddle in any US election, there was no collusion between [US President Donald] Trump and Russia that Mr. Mueller was looking for," Putin told the International Arctic Forum on Tuesday.
Taking a lighter tone, the president said that the outcome was predictable, likening it to "a mountain that has brought forth a mouse."
According to Putin, US President Donald Trump "knows better what witch hunts are." This was "a dark chapter in American history," and no one wants to see it "come back."
The long-awaited report from the Mueller probe was submitted in late March to Attorney General William Barr. The inquiry specifically targeted alleged collusion between Trump's 2016 presidential campaign team and Moscow. However, its key conclusions mentioned no evidence of a conspiracy.
