Boris Johnson Urges Ukraine to Continue War

Trump’s proposal for peace in Ukraine has been met with an overwhelming condemnation from the world’s neocons. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reemerges from the shadows whenever he hears word that a war may be winding down. He played an instrumental role in persuading Zelensky not to negotiate a peace treaty with Russia when it was apparent that Ukraine could not easily win, and now, Johnson is urging Ukraine to continue the war.

“Imagine that you are Vladimir V. Putin and you are spending a calm Saturday in the Kremlin… You casually watch the television news, and you cannot help but smile at the incompetence of your opponents, at the astonishing weakness of the West. You have lost more than a million soldiers, killed and wounded, in your attempts to subdue Ukraine. You have still failed to capture more than 20 percent of the country’s territory. Your economy is faltering. And now they are talking about some new 28-point plan to end the war – and it could have been written entirely by the Kremlin,” Johnson warned.

Boris_Johnson_We_are_in_a_proxy_war_against_Russia_

In typical neocon fashion, Johnson wants to paint the proposal as a victory for Russia. He acknowledges millions have died, but since they are Russian, their lives do not matter. Continue the slaughter at the expense of the people.

Johnson declared that Britain was in a proxy war with Russia back in November 2024. “It has been pathetic… Let’s face it: We’re waging a proxy war but not giving our proxies the ability to do the job. For years now, we’ve been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs, and it has been cruel,” he admitted one year ago. Why would Britain feel threatened by Russia? Why would any sane leader thrust their people into a battle that is not theirs to fight?

The head of M16, Sir Richard Moore, also came out in November 2024, admitting British intelligence was discreetly fighting on behalf of Ukraine. “We cherish our heritage of covert action, which we keep alive today in helping Ukraine resist the Russian invasion,” Moore commented.

Moore and Johnson know that Russia has no incentive to invade Europe, especially Britian. There is absolutely nothing for Putin to gain. Europe, on the other hand, has everything to gain through conflict with Russia. They see Ukraine as the ultimate entryway into Russia

War is a great way to default on debts. You get to form a new government, and they always disavow the debts of the previous government. Europe has been committing economic suicide. Between the COVID-19 Lockdowns, the NET-ZERO Climate Change, and then the sanctions on Russia that doubled their fuel costs, you could not ask for a more brain-dead group of politicians who have ZERO comprehension of even how the economy functions.

Plain and simple—Russia invaded due to the West’s failure to honor the Minsk Agreement. The neocons disregard the proposal entirely and conveniently disregard the original signed agreement when discussing conceding territory.

“The document offers Ukrainians not only to give up any attempts to reclaim Crimea or Donbas, but also to cede vast territories, including about 250,000 Ukrainians whom the Russians do not even control. Of course, you knew your negotiators would try something like that. But you never believed anyone would take this seriously. You can’t believe that President Trump would back this plan, because it is a complete betrayal of Ukraine,” Johnson continued in his recent writing.

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE! The ethnically Russian people living in Ukraine have been unable to decide on their leadership. Zelensky outlawed their religion and language. Everyone believes they are protecting the people in these regions from the other side, but only one side is open to learning the people’s wishes. The 28-point plan saves the PEOPLE of both Russia and Ukraine. Russia cannot abandon the war without guarantees that NATO will back down and Ukraine is merely an EU puppet. Zelensky now has two days to decide whether he is willing to destroy his nation for the neocons.

29% of Low-Income American Households Live Paycheck-to-Paycheck

poverty

Around 29% of low-income American households are currently living paycheck to paycheck, according to a new study by the Bank of America Institute, up from 23.5% in 2024. Spending on necessities such as groceries, utilities, housing, autos, and credit cards now exceeds over 95% of household income for over a quarter of Americans.

The poor are getting poorer; low-income households are naturally more inclined to report a rise in financial hardship, while high and middle-income earners have not seen a notable increase in paycheck-to-paycheck financial situations.

Inflation remains beneath the 2022 high of 9.1% but has not met the Fed’s 2% target. Again, I do not have faith in the figures provided by government agencies. Prices simply have not notably declined since the pandemic and this is the new normal. The essentials that a household cannot survive without are likely to never retreat to 2019 levels. Shelter alone accounted for 36% of CPI in 2024, rising 5.2% throughout the year. Baseline shelter costs were around 30%–yes 30%–lower in 2019.

Grocery items have been highly volatile, and government data suggests they have increased 12% since the pandemic, but anyone with access to a grocery store can dispute this claim.

Companies are cutting costs, beginning with entry-level and low-level work. Lower-income positions have seen only around a 1% rise in wages this past year and have not kept up with inflation in the least. Job openings are declining as companies scale back, outsource, or automate.

Is it any wonder that the welfare state continues to multiply? The government spends billions each month on supplementing income and its never enough. State budgets are suffering as cracks begin to appear in the system. They found the funds to support millions of migrants and now voters are wondering why the government is unable to step in for them. Naturally the government still demands taxes from the lowest earners and will never drop rates because they too are living on debt.

Those with the least are the first to feel the impact, but it vibrates throughout the entire economy. A separate poll by Harris found that three-quarters of Americans earning over $100,000 annually live paycheck to paycheck and rely on credit for necessities. Bank of America also noted that countless people living in poverty are unbanked and were not accounted for in their study. Consumers are the backbone of America’s economy. The red warning signs are everywhere: the system is crumbling.

It is Time to Replace Judiciary with AI

The American judiciary should just be shut down. It all depends on the political affiliation of the presiding judge. First of all, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get the grand jury minutes. That is so unprecedented it is one in a billion shot. The judge who dismissed Comey’s indictment was appointed by Biden. There is ZERO chance of a fair trial in the United States anymore. All judges should be replace with AI which will do a far better job and fulfill the promise of EQUAL JUSTICE for all.

Mill John Stuart Legal Persecution mills

The dismissal of an indictment by a judge is ao rare, it is obviously political and exposes how corrupt the judiciary has become. The jury (people) are supposed to make that decision – not a partisan judge. The corruption of the rule of law is systemic and it had been complained about for centuries.

Is European Leaders Being Manipulated by NATO?


Posted originally on Nov 24, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Neocons Manipulating

QUESTION: Merz said he told Trump that Germany is “fully in line with Ukraine, that the sovereignty of this country must not be jeopardized.” He also said that the war in Ukraine is a threat to all of Europe. Do you see any hope for Europe avoiding war?

DLK

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for wart

ANSWER: Unfortunately, NO. The European leaders are ignorant and are the puppets of NATO. They are too stupid to see that the Neocons are manipulating them. This nonsense that Ukraine should not be split is insane. That was the ONLY way to stop the ethnic killing in Yugoslavia. Czechoslovakia split in two as well. The Minsk Agreement, which even Germany signed, was to allow the Donbas to vote. Merz refusal to honor the word of Germany is dooming Europe to World War III. If they reall want peace, surrender the Donbas. Else, then sacrifice all of Europe to a third world war. There will NEVER be peace with Russia because people like Kallas hate the Russian people.

Merkel_admits_that_the_Minsk_Was Ploy

The only way for Europe to avoid this war is to stand up and demand that they have a say in creating war. European leaders will lie and put Europe at risk for Ukraine, the most corrupt nation on Earth. Zelensky’s Chief of Staff is now implicated in stealing $100 million. How musch more money will the West hand these people to stuff in their private accounts. They never get enough. Are they paying kickbacks to NATO and Europeans leaders?

The first duty of a head of state is to protect his own people!

NATO, EU & Zelensky Reject Any Peace with Russia


Posted originally on Nov 24, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Zelensky 7

I warned those who called me in to draft a peace plan that Kalls (The EU’s female version of Lindsey Olin Graham) and Zelensky are not interested in peace and will sabotage any effort whatsoever to create peace. Zelensky on Monday insisted that any peace plan to end the war must include a recognition of the “aggressor” paying the price, in light of Russia triggering the conflict by invading Ukraine in 2022. Of course, he wants all the Russian frozen money for himself and his corrupt supporter in the EU and his cronies who suspended all elections for him and themselves. He said:

“The aggressor must pay fully for the war he started, and this is why decisions on Russian assets are essential.”

Zelensky in a video address to the Swedish parliament on Monday, arguing that an agreement on the use of frozen Russian assets is a crucial element to any proposal. He does not care about the Ukrainian people. He does NOT want the end of the war for then he no longer has the excuse to remain as an unelected president.

I reiterate my recommendation that the USA EXIT NATO and get the hell out of Europe for there is absolutely no way they will ever accept peace with Russia. I have stressed this in my meetings and we must be concerned about Americans FIRST, not this vendetta Ukraine has against the Russian people. That will never be resolved any more than the hatred between Iran and Israel.

Monopoly R
Monopoly Board

Ukraine will self-destruct. They will never accept peace no matter what. This is not some dispassionate swap of I will you Boardwalk for Park Place. The Donbas has a right to separate. They are ethnically Russian and they will NEVER be free of the hatred of the Ukrainian Nazis.

Ukraine_Hryvnia Y Array 6 16 24 Flatlining
Nuclear Deterence

Our computer has provided a long-term forecast that is unprecedented. I have never seen the computer go FLAT LINE on a country as it has on Ukraine. This is one of the most significant and worrying geopolitical questions of our time. The risk of a nuclear conflict arising from the war in Ukraine cannot be dismissed out of hand. This risk is higher than it has been in decades, and the potential consequences are catastrophic.

It’s crucial to understand that this is not a single risk, but a cascade of potential scenarios. Russia’s stated doctrine allows for the use of nuclear weapons in response to:

  • A nuclear attack on Russia or its allies.
  • An attack with conventional weapons when “the very existence of the state is threatened.”
Kallas _Chinese_Foreign_Minister_Wang_Yi

This is precisely the objective of NATO and the EU – the conquest of Russia. The critical point lies in the phrase “existence of the state.” Russia is well aware that this is NOT a war for Ukraine, this is a war against NATO. This idea that Russia must surrender everything would only invite a third coup in Russia and we would surely end up with a hardliner. A conventional defeat in Ukraine  would be be interpreted by the Kremlin as such an existential threat. China told to Kallas’ face that they were NOT prepared to see Russia lose because they know that they would be next.

The Kallas/EU/NATO counter proposal to me warrants a complete abandonment of NATO by the USA. We MUST get out ASAP!!!! Their plan states:

  • All references to NATO non-expansion, one of the US plan’s requirements, have been completely removed.
  • Ukraine’s Armed Forces will be capped at 800,000 personnel. The US plan proposed a limit of 600,000.
  • Ukraine may join NATO if all members reach a consensus. The requirement to enshrine NATO rejection in Ukraine’s Constitution is removed, as is the demand that NATO amend its statutes to bar Ukraine.

This Demonstrated that there is NO interest whatsoever in a lasting peace.

The risk is not of a sudden, unprovoked nuclear strike, but of a conflict escalating through a series of steps cannot be dismissed at this point. Tactical vs. Strategic Use:

  • A “limited” tactical nuclear weapon (or demonstration strike) might be used on a military target in Ukraine to:
  • Shock Ukraine and its allies into submission.
  • Break a Ukrainian battlefield breakthrough that threatens a catastrophic Russian defeat (e.g., the collapse of frontline forces).
  • Signal Russia’s absolute commitment and shatter Western resolve.

Accident or Miscalculation:

  • The intense conventional warfare, with strikes deep inside Russian-occupied territory and attacks on Russian military assets (like the Black Sea Fleet), increases the chance of an incident that could spiral out of control. Kallas has been advocating the total destruction of the Russian shadow fleet under the theory that would collapse the Russian economy. Of course, she directs Ukraine to do it pretending this is not NATO or the EU. They just provide the gun and tell Zelensky to pull the trigger.
  • With Zelensky deliberately attaching Russian energy assets with the intent of destroying their econom is a direct threat against Russia itself and that certainly falls within their definition to use nuclear weapons. Such a strike that intentionally or accidentally kills high-level Russian officials or causes mass casualties on Russian soil would trigger a disproportionate response.

Involving NATO Directly:

If a Russian strike (conventional or nuclear) were to spill over onto NATO territory (e.g., in Poland or Romania), even by accident, it would invoke Article 5 and would answer the prayers of Kallas and and launch a direct NATO-Russia conflict, which would carry an immense nuclear risk.

Russia’s Warning are Twisted by the Press as threats

Russian officials have repeatedly warned the West that they are courting nuclear war. They know the truth that this has been orchestrated by the NATO and the Neocons who has usurped American Foreign Policy and the dishonesty pf German Chancellor Merkle negotiating the Minsk Agreement with no intent of allowing the Donbas to separate as she admitted it was to buy time for NATO to train a Ukrainian army to wage war on Russia.  threats since the invasion began. Russia’s warning are taken by the press as threats rather than warnings that the European leaders are courting the destruction of Europe. The Neocons and NATO present this to the press as a form of coercion designed to deter deeper Western involvement. The Western Press is not concerned with war, but is cheering it on.

Factors That Mitigate the Risk

Massive Retaliation and Deterrence:

  • The United States and NATO have made it explicitly clear that any use of nuclear weapons by Russia would have “catastrophic consequences.” While they have not detailed the response, the implied threat is a conventional or even nuclear counter-strike. This creates a powerful deterrent.
  • The laughable claim that any tactical nuclear weapon would achieve militarily in Ukraine would contaminate territory Russia hopes to control, alienate key partners like China and India, and likely unite the West rather than break it. This is absurd since China already is preparing for World War III and has 50%+ of the total wheat reserves that the West does not, and contaminating the territory of Ukraine, which is the breadbasket for the EU, would undering NATO and Russia has no such interest in occupying Ukraine. Their goal has been to protect the Russians in the Donbas.

International Condemnation:

  • The other laughable claim that a nuclear strike would turn Russia into a global pariah overnight. China, which has a “no first use” policy, would likely be forced to distance itself significantly. China knows that World War III is coming and said to Kallas’ face that they were NOT prepared to allow Russia to lose because they would be next.

Risk of a Russia Coup:

  • The decision to use a nuclear weapon rests solely with Putin. The Russian military chain of command is tightly controlled, reducing the risk of an unauthorized launch, but raising the risk of a single decision-maker’s miscalculation. Any attempt to embarrass Putin risks a coup and his replacement with a real harliner who is fully aware that NATO and the EU are behind this war and they do not want any lasting peace.
  • Putin is a calculated actor, not a suicidal one like the Neocons or NATO, and understands the existential risks for Russia and the world. But he must defend Russia for this is an existential threat for the total destruction of Russia.
  • However, nearly all agree intelligence agencies acknowledge that the risk of nuclear war is at its highest point since the Cuban Missile Crisis. It is no longer a theoretical academic discussion but a active part of military and political planning in Western capitals.
  • The risk is not static. It fluctuates with the fortunes of war. A major Ukrainian success or a perceived desperation in the Kremlin would cause the risk to spike.

Conclusion

The risk of nuclear war over Ukraine is a real and present danger, and given the actors like Kallas, Zelensky, and the Neocon running NATO, this has become an imminent likelihood rather than just a theatrical discussion. What is clear is that nuclear weapons are no longer a deterrent. NATO keeps telling leaders Russia will never push the button so they can invade and take Russia in days if not weeks.

Boris_Johnson_We_are_in_a_proxy_war_against_Russia_

The primary risk is one of escalation through miscalculation. by NATO, Kallas (the EU Lindsey Graham) that they can utterly destroy Russia with no nuclear weapons. The West is walking a fine line waging war against Russia while pretending they are not directly involved,

Catherine Herridge Reviews FBI Activity with Retired FBI Agent Andy Lim


Posted originally on CTH on November 24, 2025 | Sundance

During the Biden administration I often thought about a Mike Vanderboegh quote when it seemed like we were under unrelenting opposition and victory was a distant hope:

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it could not be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly will not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

I found great strength in those words, the simple words, “if we do not try then how will we know it could not be done? and if we do not try, it most certainly will not be done.”  The plain spoken, no-pretending reality of our situation, as true today as then.

With that spirit and a bucket overflowing with prayer, I assembled thick binders, receipts, direct and incontrovertible evidence, to put directly into the hands of those voices who could help make a difference. I know exactly what those binders look like and I know exactly what they contain.  Ms. Herridge is holding one in her hands.  The DC proletariat hate the information within the briefs, but it’s good to see they are still out there being used as reference material….

What the collective institutions of all three branches of government have done to our nation sickens me.  But the mission to keep pushing sunlight inch-by-inch continues.

In 2020 Catherine Herridge was one of a group of DC institutional defenders who just couldn’t/wouldn’t fathom or believe the background story of corruption as told by me in documented evidence with citations and full context.

Remember, the story behind these citations only becomes visible when you walk through two parallel timelines; both must be done at the same time in order to cut through the obfuscation always present in the silo defenses:

  • 1. The timeline of the actual corrupt activity, as the events took place.  And…
  • 2. The timeline of when the evidence of the corrupt activity surfaced.

The former timeline shows the corruption; the latter timeline shows how they tried to hide the corruption.  The second timeline is what DC investigators focus on in order to understand how the evidence was/is discovered.

The information within the second timeline, how the evidence surfaced, is what DC tries to use in order to control the underlying information; it’s the ‘how do you know this‘ part.

During the 2016 effort to weaponize the institutions of government against the outside candidacy of Donald Trump, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was headed by Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein.  After the 2016 election Senator Feinstein abdicated her vice-chair position to Senator Mark Warner in January 2017.

While the SSCI was engaged in their part of the 2016 effort Vice-Chair Feinstein’s lead staffer was a man named Daniel Jones. Dan Jones was the contact point between the SSCI and Fusion-GPS.

After the election, and after Feinstein abdicated, Dan Jones left the committee to continue paying Fusion-GPS (Glenn Simpson) for ongoing efforts toward the impeachment insurance policy angle.

Feinstein appears to have left because she didn’t want to deal with the consequences of a President Trump, IF he discovered the SSCI involvement.

Dan Jones left because with a Trump presidency the SSCI, now co-chaired by Senator Mark Warner, needed arms-length plausible deniability amid their 2017 operations to continue the removal effort (soft coup).

The trail for this plausible deniability process and ongoing soft-coup effort first surfaces with Dan Jones appearing in the early 2017 text messages between Senator Warner and the liaison for Christopher Steele, lawyer and lobbyist Adam Waldman:


In those March 2017 text messages you can see Senator Warner attempting to set up covert “no paper trail” communication with dossier author Christopher Steele. Adam Waldman represented Chris Steele and Steele’s employer, Oleg Deripaska.

Less than a month later you can see within the text messages that Christopher Steele is in direct contact with Dan Jones. “[Chris] said Dan Jones is coming to see you” etc.

(Text Messages Between Feinstein’s replacement, Mark Warner, and Chris Steele’s lawyer/lobbyist, Adam Waldman, noting the importance of Dan Jones)

Former Feinstein staffer Dan Jones talking to Christopher Steele in April 2017 is critical to understanding what was going on after Trump won the election.

Jones raised $50 million from those who were behind the 2016 stop Trump effort, and the purpose was now the 2017 impeachment effort [SEE LINK]. Jones having left the SSCI (now outside govt.) then paid Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS to keep up their efforts. As you can see from the texts, Jones was now talking in person (“coming to see you”) to SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner in April 2017.

[Side-Bar: The role of Fusion-GPS in 2017 shifted, and was now weighted toward feeding a specific media narrative that would aid impeachment (through the FBI, Weissmann and Mueller obstruction angle). Fusion-GPS was now the conduit for arms-length media leaks from the usurping small group still inside the DOJ and FBI. Dan Jones was paying Fusion on behalf of those with larger interests. Fusion was feeding the media.]

So, you can clearly see the SSCI was heavily involved in the impeachment effort after the election.

Secondary documentation of the connection between the DOJ, FBI, Fusion, and Dan Jones shows up in the FBI investigative 302 notes of Bruce Ohr, released by Judicial Watch. [Pay attention to the May 8th, 2017, interview – pg 18, 19 of pdf]

The highlighted bottom portion of page 18 (May 8, 2017, interview) shows a heavily redacted text, but holds enough material to overlay with other research.

This is where Bruce Ohr is talking about Dan Jones efforts as they were currently aligned with Fusion GPS: “and had been on the staff of the [Senate Intelligence Committee]”…. “At the time of the interview [Jones] was working with the [Vice Chairman of the Committee Mark Warner]”… etc.

This part is heavily redacted because the corrupt agents within the current DOJ and FBI once again don’t want people to piece together what was happening.

This is not sources and methods being redacted. This is not national security being redacted. This is the trail of the connective tissue in/around the small group plotting that is being hidden.

At the top of page 19, the investigative notes of Ohr’s discussion continues.


Bruce Ohr is telling the FBI investigator, likely Agent Joe Pientka, about Glenn Simpson and Dan Jones visiting Christopher Steele sometime after May 8, 2017, and they were in the process of “lawyering up”.

Now before going deeper in the SSCI weeds, let me pause and explain the important specifics behind why the FBI was interviewing Bruce Ohr about Chris Steele; by overlaying what was going on in/around early 2017.

Chris Steele wasn’t alone in creating the “dossier”.  Heck, the purpose of Fusion-GPS contracting Steele; and the purpose of the FBI engaging with Steele; was the laundry value of having a known intelligence officer validate political opposition research which the FBI could use against Donald Trump.  The reality is: most of the raw material and research inside the dossier was from Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr at Fusion GPS.

The ‘small group’ inside the DOJ and FBI always knew the provenance of the material; the plan and intent was to utilize Fusion-GPS for their political purposes.

Everyone carrying out this operation, all of the corrupt entities within it, knew the material from Chris Steele was essentially political opposition research. Many of those same people later weaponized the research into the FISA application to give it higher import and value.

That set’s up early 2017 – where the FBI was evaluating the extent to which Chris Steele was willing to remain on public record to support a false framework about the dossier itself.  This is the same timeframe where Fusion is being paid by Dan Jones to facilitate the calls for a special counsel.  Fusion drives that narrative with structured leaks to media.

Steele’s support was a key issue because the corrupt DOJ and FBI officials were about to hand-off the dossier to Special Counsel Robert Mueller (figurehead only) as the basis for the ‘small group’ and him to launch the special counsel aspect of an ongoing operation.

If Chris Steele suddenly walked away from the dossier, and/or admitted publicly the dossier was political opposition research primarily from Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr, the FBI would have a shit-storm on its hands…. and they needed to evaluate the position of Steele.  Steele could be a risk if he was not supporting the team playbook. That’s the driving purpose behind all of this 2017 “re-engagement” with Steele through Bruce Ohr.

The small group in the DOJ and FBI planned to continue, pass-off and modify the Trump investigation by shifting it to a special counsel. The centerpiece of that investigation would be using the dossier as justification for a need to investigate Trump as a Russian risk. The DOJ/FBI small group needed Glenn Simpson and Chris Steele to stand by the false narrative all of the players had assembled over the prior year.

The wildcard to retain the false story was Chris Steele… Steele was an outside participant, albeit aligned with the ideology and the purpose. Evaluating Steele’s willful participation in keeping the narrative as assembled was the reason for their urgent talks; however, the “small group” couldn’t run the risk of direct talks in the same way that Mark Warner couldn’t risk of a paper trail.

Additionally, in support of the 2017 use of Chris Steele to frame the Russia narrative, the CIA, FBI, ODNI and aggregate intelligence community simultaneously pushed the December 2016 Joint Analysis Report (JAR) and the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), as evidence to support their Russia narrative.

Now, the Joint Analysis Report (JAR) and the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) construct.

If the ICA is a false political document, then guess what?  Yep, the entire narrative from the JAR and ICA is part of a big fraud (it is).  Then the construct of the special counsel probe was false (it was).

In early 2017 Adam Waldman and Dan Jones were facilitating a plausibly deniable information pipeline from Chris Steele to the SSCI and Senator Mark Warner.  At the same time, and for the same purposes, DOJ official Bruce Ohr was facilitating a plausibly deniable information pipeline from Chris Steele to the FBI/DOJ small group. The purposes were the same, everyone needed assurances Steele wasn’t going to back-out.

That corrupt planning activity is what some unknown DOJ and FBI officials were hiding behind the Bruce Ohr 302 redactions.  Now, where does the DOJ and FBI small group start to place their defensive positions?

This is where it all starts coming back together:

[…] The Senate intelligence committee examined the allegations about Downer, Mifsud and Halper, as part of its bipartisan investigation into the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia was responsible for attacking the 2016 election, and found nothing to substantiate any wrongdoing, a committee aide said. (read full article)

Again, notice how the FBI small group is utilizing the SSCI, and it is a committee aide within the SSCI that is leaking to NBC.  The small group are pulling the Senate Intelligence Committee back into the picture.  That brings Dianne Feinstein, Mark Warner, Richard Burr, Daniel Jones, Adam Waldman and James Wolfe back in.

Why go there?

Why was the FBI small group pulling the SSCI back into the picture?

Because they have to.

In 2018 the DOJ and FBI covered up the corruption evident during the 2017 pre-Mueller effort.

In 2019 the position of the small group was to force the DOJ and FBI to do it again.

Throughout the 2016 and 2017 effort, a part of one branch of the United States government, the U.S. Senate through the SSCI, was assisting the efforts of the DOJ and FBI against a candidate, president-elect and later United States President, Donald Trump.

As a result of a FOIA release in Mid December 2018, Judicial Watch revealed how the State Department was feeding “classified information” to multiple U.S. Senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee by the Obama administration immediately prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration:

The documents reveal that among those receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN).

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a June 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the State Department after it failed to respond to a February 2018 request seeking records of the Obama State Department’s last-minute efforts to share classified information about Russia election interference issues with Democratic Senator Ben Cardin (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv-01381)).

The documents reveal the Obama State Department urgently gathering classified Russia investigation information and disseminating it to members of Congress within hours of Donald Trump taking office.  (read more)

The impeachment program was a plan, an insurance policy of sorts; a coordinated effort between corrupt politicians in the Senate and hold-over allies in the executive; however, because she didn’t want to participate in this – Senator Dianne Feinstein abdicated her vice-chair position to Senator Mark Warner.  [Background Here]

This is the pre-cursor to utilizing Robert Mueller.  A plan that was developed soon after the 2016 election.  The appointment of a special counsel was always the way they were going to hand-off and continue the investigation into Trump; but they needed a reason for it.

The continued exploitation of the Steele Dossier was critical; thus, they needed Chris Steele to be solid.  And the continued manipulation of the media was also critical; thus, they needed Fusion-GPS to continue.  [Dan Jones paid both]

While Mark Warner was communicating with Adam Waldman and Dan Jones as a conduit to Chris Steele, the FBI/DOJ team was communicating through Bruce Ohr to Chris Steele (and by extension to Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS).

Part of Warner’s role was to weaponize the Legislative branch to advance the ‘Muh Russia conspiracy’, a fundamental necessity if a special counsel was going to have justification.

The SSCI, and the security protocols within it, were structurally part of the plan; hence the rapid information from Obama’s State Dept. to the SSCI and Senate participants in the last moments prior to departing.

♦ On March 17th, 2017, the Senate Intelligence Committee took custody of the FISA application used against Carter Page.   We know the FISA court delivered the read and return Top-Secret Classified application due to the clerk stamp of March 17, 2017.

(Page FISA Application, Link)

The FISA application (original and first renewal) was delivered to Senate Security Director James Wolfe.  Senator Mark Warner entered the basement SCIF shortly after 4:00pm on March 17, 2017, the day it was delivered (texts between Warner and Waldman):
Now, when SSCI Security Officer James Wolfe was indicted (unsealed June ’18), we could see the importance of the March 17th date again:

(Wolfe Indictment Link)

We can tell from the description within the indictment the FBI investigators are describing the FISA application.

Additionally, Wolfe exchanged 82 text messages with reporter Ali Watkins.  The FISA application is 83 pages with one blank page.

The logical conclusion was that Wolfe text Ali Watkins 82 pictures of the application.

FBI Investigators applied for and received a search warrant for the phone records of journalist Ali Watkins.  Ms. Watkins was notified in February 2018, three months after Wolfe was questioned by FBI investigators in December 2017.

However, despite the overwhelming (public) circumstantial evidence that Wolfe leaked the FISA application, he was never charged with leaking classified information.  Wolfe was only charged with lying three times to federal authorities, and he pled down to one count of lying to the FBI.

CTH made the case in mid 2018 that someone at the DOJ had influenced a decision not to charge Wolfe with the leaking of the FISA application; despite the FBI and DOJ having direct evidence of Wolfe leaking classified information.

The logical reason for the Rosenstein DOJ not to charge Wolfe with the FISA leak was because that charge would ensnare powerful Senators on the powerful committee.  Worse still, in hindsight we now see how that committee was working to aide the purposes and intents of the corrupt DOJ and FBI officials as they built their impeachment agenda.

Remember, the SSCI has intelligence oversight of the DOJ, DOJ-NSD, FBI and all associated counterintelligence operations. Additionally, when the FBI was investigating Wolfe for leaking classified documents, according to their court filings they had to inform the committee of the risk Wolfe represented.  Who did they have to inform?.. Chairman Richard Burr and Vice-Chair Mark Warner.

Think about it.  Both gang-of-eight members (Warner/Burr), who happened -as a consequence of the jaw dropping implications- to be two SSCI members who were warned by the FBI that Wolfe was compromised…. and they, along with Feinstein in 2016, were the co-conspirators who used James Wolfe.  The ramifications cannot be overstated.

Any criminal charges for leaking classified intelligence information against James Wolfe would likely result in a major scandal where the SSCI itself was outlined as participants in the weaponization of government for political intents.  Thus, the perfect alignment of interests for a dropped charge and DC cover-up.  REMEMBER:

If it already wasn’t transparently sketchy as hell, in an act of serendipity and self-preservation, the accused Security Director James Wolfe evidenced the schemes when he threatened to subpoena members of the SSCI as part of his defense. [See Here]

[…] Attorneys for James A. Wolfe sent letters to all 15 senators on the committee, notifying them that their testimony may be sought as part of Mr. Wolfe’s defense, according to two people familiar with the matter.

[…] Mr. Wolfe’s defense lawyers are considering calling the senators as part of the proceedings for a variety of reasons, including as potential character witnesses and to rebut some of the allegations made by the government in the criminal complaint, these people say.  (link)

Immediately after threatening to subpoena the SSCI (July 27, 2018), the DOJ (Rosenstein authorizing) cut a deal with Wolfe and dropped the charges down to a single charge of lying to investigators.  However, someone in the FBI who was doing the investigative legwork wasn’t happy with that decision.

The overwhelming circumstantial evidence that Wolfe leaked the FISA application went from a strong suspicion, to damn certain (after the plea deal) when the DOJ included a sentencing motion in mid-December 2018.

On December 15th, 2018 the DOJ filed a response to the Wolfe defense teams’ own sentencing memo (full pdf), and within the DOJ response they included an exhibit (#13) written by the FBI [redacted] special agent in charge, which specifically says: “because of the known disclosure of classified information, the FISA application”… Thereby admitting, albeit post-plea agreement, that Wolfe did indeed leak the damn FISA:

(link to document)

Right there, in that FBI Special Agent description is the bombshell admission that James Wolfe leaked the Carter Page FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins at Buzzfeed.

We know the special agent who wrote exhibit #13 in the December filing was Special Agent Brian Dugan, Asst. Special Agent in Charge, Washington Field Office.  The same investigator who originally signed the affidavit in the original indictment against Wolfe.

So, with hindsight there was absolutely no doubt that James Wolfe leaked the 83-page Carter Page FISA application on March 17, 2017.  Period.  It’s all documented with circumstantial and direct evidence; including the admissions from the FBI agent in charge.

So, why was SSCI Security Director James Wolfe allowed to plea to a single count of lying to investigators?

Because all three branches of our government were participating in the corruption and targeting of Donald Trump.  Their fates are all tied together.  Take down one participant like James Comey and all the other participants are at risk.

There is no apple, only worms.

Pentagon Says It’s Investigating Senator Mark Kelly

This could potentially be very good news; however, the battle between where we are today and where we would need to be in order to address unlawful sedition criminally is very far apart.  Let’s hope the Pentagon and DOJ can harden up and start to take down these political bad actors.

In a social media post Monday, the Pentagon said it received complaints over former U.S. Navy Captain Mark Kelly’s efforts to undermine President Trump and destabilize the U.S. government.

The pentagon saying they received, “serious allegations of misconduct” against him, and “a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

WASHINGTON DC – […] Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared the Pentagon’s post and referred to the lawmakers as the “Seditious Six.” Noting that five of the six lawmakers do not fall under the Pentagon’s jurisdiction, he added that Kelly does.
