FISA Memo Released (US House of Representatives report, 2 Feb 2018)

In the 2nd part he explains that it is all about a FISA 702 article 1 warrant making the situation even worse ...

FISA Section 702, if I understand correctly, is NOT the "even worse" section. It is the more recently added, less pervasive, "incidental", spying authorization. Moreover, apparently unlike some had supposed until now, the Dept of Justice (DOJ) did not obtain this less severe Section 702 authority to spy on Carter Page and hence on the Trump campaign and subsequent transition teams, but rather DOJ obtained the more severe original Title 1 authority.

Title 1 of the original Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 can be used to extensively spy on any US citizens having contact with someone, perhaps even if that someone is a US citizen living in the US, if the Dept of Justice convinced the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) that that someone was a foreign spy and a serious threat to national security.

The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (first enacted July 10, 2008) amended FISA, adding a Title VII (Roman numeral 7), which allowed, in its Section 702, less intensively focused, "incidental", spying, using bulk collection of the electronic communications of US citizens. FISA Section 702, which allows the US government to conduct warrantless communications collections, was born out of the post-9/11 surveillance era. As the law is written, the intelligence community cannot use Section 702 programs to target Americans, who are protected by the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. But the law gives the intelligence community space to target foreign intelligence in ways that inherently and intentionally sweep in Americans’ communications.

According to both Doug Hagmann (in Bill's post, above) and to this analyst, prayingmedic, the Dept of Justice asked the FISC for, and received, the more extensive spying authority provided for in Title 1 of the original 1978 FISA.

But it's the other way round. The FISA approval of the Carter Page surveillance was under TITLE 1 — not Section 702. That's an entirely different ball of wax. A far, far bigger one, too.

And approval for a Title 1 warrant application should be extremely rigorous and well-supported with rock-solid documentation — exactly because it's such a huge, serious matter.

It allowed everyone even peripherally or casually connected to Carter Page — i.e. everyone in the Trump campaign — to be investigated in great depth as if they were suspected agents of a foreign power. In other words, spies.

That's the VERY big deal here. The warranted surveillance dragnet could extend to hundreds or even thousands of people.

And the FISA Memo summarizes that it was all based on baseless or fabricated and paid-for evidence, fraudulently presented and knowingly signed off by the head (3 times) and the deputy head (once) of the FBI.

This is why this is many magnitudes bigger than Watergate.

Now to the bigger picture: to what degree is the secret House memo, just released, a limited hangout?

If the FBI/DOJ offered up a fake dossier to the FISA, in order to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump team, what else did they do?

The FBI, CIA, and NSA form a blanket of surveillance across America, collecting billions of messages. Are we supposed to believe the FISA warrant was the only effort to gain permission to spy on Trump? Or that legal permission was an issue in the first place?

Of course it wasn’t. The House memo focuses on the legal side of things as a smokescreen.

A politicized group of spying agencies would go a lot further in spying on Trump—but beyond that, we’re talking about spying on all citizens, including Congressional and other government officials, regardless of party affiliation.

Yes.

Obviously, in much of what I and others have posted on this thread, and in much of what passes for news both in the main stream news media and in the alternative news media, Americans are being whipped to a frenzy over this "Russian collusion" (if you're main stream left leaning) or "Trump entrapment" (if you're alternative right leaning).

For example a big deal is now being made (by myself and others, immediately above) over the analysis that the Dept of Justice (DOJ) obtained the more intensively focused surveillance authority of the original Title 1 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), rather than the more recently added, less focused "incidental" bulk data collection authorized in Title VII of FISA.

Whenever such a storm of protest, from "both sides of the aisle", is being whipped up, over a period of months, now going on years ... one just knows, in their gut, that the real problems remain obscured behind the scene.

[Bill Ryan]

The crucial (and enormous) difference between a Title 1 warrant and a Section 702 warrant is now starting to be more widely presented.

Doug Hagmann stressed this in the last 10 mins of today's Infowars show, and Thomas Paine (who's pretty smart and well-informed, and appears to have an intelligence background) is talking about exactly the same thing here:

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, the actual memo (read it yourself): http://pdf.deprogramming.tools/wp-co...use-letter.pdf

More analysis of the memo and situation: http://www.declassifieddocuments.com...psci-memo.html

Excerpt from the declassifieddocuments.com article:

What you see in the memo:

* A conspiracy within the U.S. government to undermine a Presidential candidate's election. Which is ironic, that is exactly what compromised mainstream media and the same government sources who sought to undermine Donald Trump's election say about Russia.
* Over $160,000 was paid to an agent of the DNC and Hillary Clinton to "obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia."
* Department of Justice & FBI negligence/bias in stopping the unscrupulous undermining of then U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump's election campaign is reported in the memo
* The memo denotes that "political actors" were involved in the Steele dossier
* FISA court application negligence is reported in the memo
* Inconsistency between the Steel dossier and Steele's testimony in British court are reported in the memo
* The memo describes: An FBI definition of "the most serious of violations" - an asset speaking about their FBI relations with the media, which denotes a culture of secrecy in the FBI.
* Steele was noted to conceal information from the FBI, it is also said he lied to the FBI
* Key information was concealed from the FISA court. Such as the wife of a former Director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (Bruce Ohr) was working for Fusion GPS to drum up dirt on Donald Trump
* According to the declassified document Christopher Steele, who produced potentially slanderous allegations against the Trump White House and Russia with his dossier, "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected, and was passionate about him not being President"
* The Steele dossier was internally considered by the FBI to be "minimally corroborated", yet this didn't stop a psychological warfare charade demonizing Donald Trump and Russia with the Steele dossier
* The document finishes off stating that various FBI employees have a "clear bias" against Trump

So here is my simple question:

What is trump doing to dismantle these programs so that they are not used in an illegal, treasonous manner again?

We need a complete overhaul of the IC starting with the NSA, as it is probably the heart of the whole operation(at least in terms of budget*based on info from the Church Committee Report which is dated to be sure).

I see that congress recently passed a re authorization of all this nonsense and trump signed it.

One gangster group,Clinton people, and another gangster people, the people behind Trump, are fighting for control over the US. The clinton group is taking heavy losses right now as their obvious corruption is open for all to see. The new gangster group gets to look good because they are taking down obviously bad people. But how long can this go on before they have to do something to actually change the path of the ship of state?

The expansion of gauntanamo bay is not good. If you are pro trump, you will excuse this and say to yourself only bad people will be sent there(if you are honest you believe that Clinton will end up in Gitmo and receive enhanced interrogation.) Holding people, even terrorists(or so called terrorists) without a trial is Un American. Full stop. This is why we have a justice system. You either agree with that, or you disagree with the constitution.

The expansion of the wars in Afghanistan and IRaq and Syria. In the SOTU, he changed the rules of engangement . This signals a shift back to war. I bet within a year or two we will see this current Iran color revolution with the Hijab protests go full on Kermit Roosevelt and the US will be "required for the good of the Iranian people" to invade and occupy the final piece in the ME chess board. FUTURE PROVES PAST. Follow the white rabbit. There is a storm and all that. . . .



You are either on board with the united states foreign policy of the last hundred years since the Spanish American War or you are not. You are either agree with Colonel Smedley butler that war is a racket and the US military machine is enforcing a corporate world order(you call it Globalists) or you do not. Right now, we see more of the same with lots of domestic distraction. Yes clinton is bad. Yes she and her people are all the bad things that you can imagine, and so much more. God so much more. You think Uranium one and vince foster is bad. You have no idea. You need to look into mena arkansas and Arkansas development fund which connects to rose law firm. You probably just know vince foster as a name and not as his work in Arkansas.

Most of you know Im dubious of trump, and then falsely assume things about my political leanings. You have no idea how much contempt I have for Clinton, both of them, and Obama. But this is also for Bush, both of them, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, Johnson and it continues for most POTUS in last century. My contempt doesnt follow party lines, it follows moral lines.

The real question you need to ask: what is trump doing to fundamentally change US foreign Policy and the Intelligence Community? Do you agree with having FISC and FISA warrants? Do you agree with secret laws and secret judges with secret rulings? Do you agree with the NSA recording everything?

Yes Obama committed treason. Not just this instance either. YOu can get him and Clinton on many charges. The problem is them but also the system. In fact, More so the system is the problem because it allowed those monsters to dowhat they have done. This is my critique of the current pro trump movement. Where is the systemic change? We are operating at the level of the person and not the system.

I think that this needs to be a bit more clear.
Its a FISA warrant under Title I - not article 1 - which is a warrant for the surveillance of a spy. In other words, Carter Page was the directly targeted individual, alleged to be a Russian spy.

The evidence: a Yahoo News article, along with the Steele dossier. Steele was the source of the so-called "evidence" - fabricated evidence. This is why Carter Page is taking Yahoo News to court.

This is different than a FISA warrant under Title VII (FISA-702) which involves surveillance of a targeted foreign person & anybody he may be connected to.

My personal guess is that he's on it, and has been for quite a while. It's reasonable to assume that he and his advisers know exactly what's happening here, and have a very well-thought out strategy.

But he has to follow due process, and allow Congress to do its thing. Some may (understandably!) be dubious, but my personal bet is that slow-moving but very rigorous legal machinery is now in process that will be very hard for anyone to stop.

It's a legal battlefield now, and that's likely to be the proper and constitutional way to go.

My guess is that what Praxis asked about is not happening, and will not happen. I read his comments as asking when US foreign Policy and the Intelligence Community will be cleaned up.

Rather what I am expecting is two things.

First I expect some (rather small number) of deep state minions and front men will be thrown under the bus. Some small portion of the many and varied crimes and treasons of the Bush-Clinton-Neocon crime syndicate are being made matters of public controversy, such as with this FISA Memo, and this will result in a few going to jail, a few stepping down, and a few dying under unusual circumstances. Some serious fortunes will change hands.

Then I expect various rounds of reform, seemingly motivated by this exposed corruption (which actually won't expose 98% of it), which will reshape the Imperial American Empire into just another large nation in the next new world order.

The deeply held power in the large banks, the intelligence agencies, various other federal agencies, and major news, food, energy, web, etc corporations will continue evolving.

The struggle between liberty and tyranny will continue.

With this, there will be serious, multi-year, world-wide, economic, monetary and financial depression with a major monetary reset and a move of some power from the US to China.

With the jump upward in the US Ten Year Treasury Note interest rate, the jump downward in major US stock indices, the jump upward in the VIX (measure of stock market volatility), and the collapse of the crypto-currency market, all in the last few days, coincident with the release of this FISA memo ... we may well look back on this time as the beginning of the collapse, not just of the American Bush-Clinton crime syndicate, but also of the century of King Dollar and American Hegemony.

The struggle between liberty and tyranny will continue.

If this article, Unprecedented Global “4th Turning” Unites The World Against Globalist Threat, is correct, then the struggle will not just continue ... it will erupt into an epic struggle.

Quoting from this article:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because of globalization and world-wide communication, 4th turning cycles around the globe appear to be synchronized and are in fact leading to a dramatic global crescendo.
...
Famous Fourth Turnings of the past include: The Wars of the Roses (1459-1487), The American Revolution (1773-1794), The Civil War (1860-1865), and the Great Depression and World War II (1929-1946)

A Global 4th Turning

Because of globalization and world-wide communication, 4th turning cycles around the globe – including many different countries, cultures and governments – appear to be synchronized and are in fact leading to a dramatic global crescendo.

Previous 4th turning revolutions were directed at the leadership of individual nations. Deadly wars were fought and a new era began afterwards. While this remains true now, the revolution is against Globalists who represent a power structure that threatens all nations equally, at the same moment in history. It is this threat that binds like minded traditionalist and nationalist individuals across the globe. It is a truly unprecedented time period in human history.

Adam Shiff is on the intelligence committee and he seems to be accused of lying and leaking info among other things and he was a part of the opposition to release the GOP memo. Why is he still on the committee? If the Dems win Senate majority he will be the chairman of the intelligence committee. This does not seem logical to have someone of his character to be possible head of such an important committee.

[Bill Ryan]

Doug Hagmann has been seriously threatened — reported by him in his radio show this morning.

• http://blogtalkradio.com/the-doug-ha...deep-state.mp3

He also reported that Senator Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a memo yesterday — 95% (95%!) redacted (blacked out) by request of the FBI — detailing how the Clintons themselves supplied Christopher Steele, the dossier-maker, with information.

In detail: a foreign source gave information to friends of Hillary and Bill Clinton, and the Clintons gave it to an Obama State Department Official, who then gave it to Steele.

Sen. Grassley is asking for a criminal investigation into Steele's activities. Doug Hagmann states this will break more widely in the next few days, and is of crucial importance.

Grassley-Graham referral on Steele: Did US media and the Clinton campaign provide content for Trump Dossier?

Senators Lindsey Graham (L) and Chuck Grassley(R) © Aaron P. Bernstein, Joshua Roberts/Reuters

Heavily redacted referral memo suggests US media, Clinton associates, had a hand in producing Trump Dossier

Hot on the heels of the publication of the GOP memorandum (discussed by me here) has come another potentially even more extraordinary development in the Russiagate scandal.

This is the publication of a massively redacted version of the referral sent by Senators Grassley and Lindsey Graham to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein requesting that the Justice Department consider whether a criminal prosecution of Christopher Steele, the compiler of the Trump Dossier, should be brought.

The Senators' referral or memorandum is so heavily redacted (whole paragraphs have been entirely blacked out) that it is exceptionally difficult to follow, and any analysis of it must be treated as strictly provisional pending release of a less heavily redacted version.

However what can be read from the Senators' memorandum is disturbing enough.

Moreover it is now clear that over and above the lies Christopher Steele is alleged by the GOP memorandum to have told to the FBI about his contacts with the media, the Senators' concerns and their referral to Rosenstein extend to the content of the Trump Dossier itself.

In order to show how this is so I am going to set out the Senators' memorandum in its entirety. Given that the published version of this document is so incomplete, it seems to me that it might potentially distort it even further if I simply published extracts from it.

I think you're right, Paul.

There is a paradox of synchronization and polarization that needs to be reconciled.

Interestingly, the majority of those synchronizing against the cabal don't choose war. They choose peace. I'm wondering if we can break the cycle of transitioning through the violent means of war, or if there is a power that non-violence can provide to effect change.

Those who are used to getting their way through destruction and deception won't suddenly put their tail between their legs and walk away. But still, I see their patterns being recognized and thwarted to some extent already. Their lack of integrity is disempowering. Their intelligence is lacking and lagging behind.

We see what Schiff is hiding by the way he tries to hide it. He is creating his own demise.

We will see how things unfold.

Excerpt Taken from psyop.wiki:

Posted by psyop.wiki
The Russian collusion psychological operation is centered around the deep state framing Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Russia in general for crimes that they are in fact committing themselves. In use is an information warfare stratagem involving occulted mind programming knowledge, the anchoring of a false version of reality is occurring in place of it's true and occulted version.

From TacticsofWarfare.com:

Orchestrating the emergence of a false version of reality to obscure absorption of a threatening truth. This tactic can be seen as a shadow government method of shifting blame, as seen with the deep state's 2016 U.S. election / Russia hoax.

The bastardized version is released before the unadulterated truth, this way contrasting mind programming is established to suppress truth cognizance.

Fortunes telling... the tale:

Adam Schiff's hatred for America makes sense when you realize he's related by law to elite globalist George Soros

50 State Report
Mon, 05 Feb 2018 23:14 UTC

Adam Schiff, who fought last week's release of the memo, has described it as a misleading, inaccurate attempt to discredit the investigation of the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into the Trump campaign's false ties to Russia. He has emerged as a visible nemesis of Americans, appearing almost daily on television to discuss the various fake investigations of President Trump.

"Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper!," President Trump tweeted, referring to former James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director; Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia; John O. Brennan, the former C.I.A. director; and James R. Clapper Jr., the former director of national intelligence. "Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!"

Coincidentally, Adam Schiff's sister is the estranged wife of globalist George Soro's son.

Billionaire George Soros's son Robert and his estranged wife Melissa Schiff are at risk of forfeiting their entire art collection - including pieces by Jeff Koons and Christopher Wool - if they can't agree on its value, his lawyer said.

The former couple were in Manhattan Supreme Court Wednesday for the opening day of their $350 million divorce trial.

Soros' attorney, Alan Feigenbaum, said their prenuptial agreement states that if "the parties cannot agree on a value...property should be sold."

But Schiff's lawyer, Bernard Clair, disputed that interpretation. He argued that an appeals court ruled in April that "the prenup does not address the disposition of marital art."

Soros, who until recently ran his father's $28 billion investment management firm, wants to sell off their collection, while Schiff wants to keep selected pieces.

They're also fighting over a $5.85 million Rhinebeck farm, which Schiff testified that she "loves more than anything."

Soros filed for divorce from his wife of 22 years in 2014 - after an affair with a nude model.

What the memo speaks about is the tip of the iceberg of a conspiracy by the top occultists and their psychological warfare teams. You see the same psychological warfare tactic being played with Brexit by psyops crews in attempts to revote with a different conclusion. Treasonous acts are being perpetrated by world powers. I have added Brexit PSYOP analysis to my Russian Collusion PSYOP article:

Posted by psyop.wiki
Propaganda has been focused at a high intensity ever since the Brexit conclusion was reached. In the grand scheme of things the shadow government has also framed Russia for the Brexit vote in an attempt to negate the original vote, revote, and change the first conclusion. Knowing the dirty nature of those that control events behind the scenes I suspect that highly criminal fraud is taking place to keep Britain in the EU.
