TRUTH is so precious that she should Always be attended by a Bodyguard of Lies


QUESTION: Do you support the unilateral withdrawal of the US from the Iran deal?

ANSWER: Iran has no intention of actually conforming with that agreement. But that is really a side issue. There is a significant displeasure with the religious government in Iran. This is indeed been rising since the Arab Spring. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 will be followed by another counter-revolution probably in 2022. Iran has suppressed its people for far too long and it will rise up in yet another revolution. The government is at war in the Middle East against Saudi Arabia because of a political-religious philosophy. They seek to export their beliefs to others and that is the problem. If they would just adopt live-and-let-live policy things would be much calmer.

I do not support the USA sticking its nose into everything. This is the inherent problem when you have military establishments. As I have said before, the days of Empire Building are gone. China, Russia, and the USA have no desire to occupy each other. Both Erdogan and Iran are still clinging to this idea of reestablishing Empires. The major powers are engaged in proxy wars. It really makes no sense to intervene for it only inspires hatred.

Franklin Roosevelt lied to the people because Americans were isolationists. You have to understand that you MUST always separate the PEOPLE from the Government and its POLITICIANS. The Americans fled Europe and wanted no part of the political nonsense there. FDR appeared in Boston and said he wanted to send arms to Britain but not troops. Boston was predominantly Irish. They did not want to go to war to defend Britain when they view that Britain supposed the Irish. FDR lied to the people and claimed ending the embargo and shipping arms to Britain would KEEP America at peace. He said:

Let no group assume the exclusive label of the “peace bloc.” We all belong to it … I give you my deep and unalterable conviction, based on years of experience as a worker in the field of international peace, that by the repeal of the embargo the United States will more probably remain at peace than if the law remains as it stands today … Our acts must be guided by one single, hardheaded thought — keeping America out of the war.

Governments have ALWAYS lied about every war to justify it. It is the people who pay the price of war while the politicians reap only the glory and not the hardship. Even if we look at the civil war between Octavian and Marc Antony, he always distanced himself from making it outright appear as a civil war against Antony. His victory coin simply stated Egypt was Captured – not Antony. In this manner, he always managed to keep it as a war between himself and Cleopatra.

If Marc Antony did not commit suicide as the story is told, Octavian surely would have killed him anyway. There was just no circumstance in where he could proclaim a victory over a Roman who had at least been a friend of Julis Caesar and a Roman of distinction. The image of the war had to be against Cleopatra politically. Antony was simply portrayed as being delusional and under her spell. Hence, he was not really culpable for his actions.

So how we portray war and an enemy has always been subject to manipulation. I would NEVER accept what is said by any side as being the truth. Winston Churchill said: “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”

Tucker: John Brennan is unhinged

Former CIA Director John Brennan Outlines Criminal Conspiracy Case Against Clinton, Fusion GPS, DOJ and FBI…


In a rather interesting part of last Friday’s interview between former CIA Director John Brennan and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, Mr. Brennan outlined what makes a criminal conspiracy.

When you consider the issues surrounding Russian influence agent Oleg Deripaska and his centrality to many of the events, well, Brennan is actually -and ironically- outlining the criminal conspiracy of the DOJ and FBI.  [Watch the part at 15:14 prompted]

Transcript – @15:14 Maddow: What would amount, in your mind, in intelligence terms, to an American being a part of that conspiracy; the one that’s been defined by Robert Mueller already?

Brennan: “I will leave it to the lawyers and to the courts to decide if something is criminal or not.    In my mind, it requires someone to knowingly support the efforts of a foreign government to interfere in U.S. domestic politics and especially an election.” – “And so, any American who was working with the Russians, or working with an intermediaries who were working with Russians; and those Americans who knowingly tried to collude, conspire, and to work with them in order to advance their political objectives here in the states, I think that rises to the level of conspiracy.”

So let’s look at this – while keeping in mind that Oleg Deripaska is a Russian political influence agent, the source of some unknown amount of Chris Steele’s information, and a Russian operative the FBI specifically engaged with in their political investigative efforts.

 

“any American who was working with the Russians, or working with intermediaries who were working with Russians”.

That phrase specifically describes: the Clinton Campaign, Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Stephan Halper, Christopher Steele, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, Peter Strzok, James Comey, John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, Adam Waldman, and Senator Mark Warner.

…”and those Americans who knowingly tried to collude, conspire, and to work with them in order to advance their political objectives here in the states”…

The distinction in that second part of the quote might remove Clinton or Perkins Coie; however “working with intermediaries who were working with the Russians” would keep them in.

Additionally, all of the media entities who engaged in the promotion, advancement, and distribution of the propaganda as an outcome of knowingly meeting with those foreign officials – would also be considered part of the “conspiracy”.

Well?

There you have it.

Essentially, in his own words, former CIA Director John Brennan makes the Criminal Conspiracy case against all of the central characters involved within the 2016 political operation to influence the 2016 election and frame candidate, President-elect, and later President Donald Trump.

No Support from Supporters


Mark Blattner, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland (JFC-GP), appears to have swallowed today’s deadly multiculturalism pill, an hallucinogenic that causes its victims to believe that mixing two disparate cultures can bring about an egalitarian Utopian society.  Despite the many books written about the decline of civilizations under Islam, there are still too many misguided people on the left who, whether wittingly or not, act to bring Israel to destruction.  We are already seeing evidence that while differences in race and religions can work very well, the invasion of a theocratic culture, such as Islam, can cause the demise of the host culture.  This explains why there are so many Islamic tyrannical regimes in the east and why Sweden may be taking her last breath in the west.   

     

In a world that often views Israelis and Jews as pariahs, there is only one bona fide homeland for the Jewish people who, after thousands of years of suffering on foreign soil, were finally able to reclaim their ancient homeland in 1948.  They re-built and transformed the neglected desert and malarial swampland into a modern, thriving, innovative state, yet there are still some American Jews who seem to resent their brethren’s freedoms and accomplishment.  These voices from the Diaspora claim to be “a strong supporter of Israel,” but the words ring empty as the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), the AJC (American Jewish Congress) and JFCGP persist in denying Israel’s right to their own complete independence, self-rule, dignity, language, flag, holidays, Jewish customs and laws, and Jewish culture, unapologetically and unbeholden to others, on this one piece of land that 22,145 km compared to the Arab world’s 12,061,226 km, with Israel’s population of 8,585,000 (in 2016) to the Arab world’s 330,000,000 (in 2007). No other country is asked to hyphenate its identity and destiny.

 

These “strong supporters” have not defined their support; it is an empty statement.  While they try to appear altruistic, they are speaking out against the Nation-State Law that protects Israel’s interests and her continued existence.  Contrary to the rhetoric, the Law does not affect the individual civil, political or human rights of Israel’s minority groups. They retain their rights to vote, to employment, housing, and transportation.  It does, however, clearly reserve the collective right of national self-determination in the state to the Jewish people, the fundamental principle of Zionism. Ronald Lauder and the AJC abuse Israel’s nationalism, but it is precisely that concept of nationalism plus borders that are helping some countries (Hungary, Poland, Latvia and The Czech Republic) survive the Islamic onslaught being experienced by their less wise neighbors. 

Where were the ADL, AJC, and Jewish Federations when Israel fought for her survival against Islam’s multiple wars, Intifada attacks and constant barrage of rockets since before her declaration of statehood?  They were mute then and they remain mute now, through the current fire jihad that has destroyed more than 82,000 acres of forestry and agriculture, livestock, homes, livelihoods, irreplaceable personal belongings, and impaired the pulmonary and emotional health of the residents. The groups are silent when Palestinians destroy precious Hebrew artifacts beneath the Temple Mount, and absurdly absent when President Trump acknowledged and formally declared Jerusalem the Eternal Capital of Israel.  We hear no voices against the anti-Semitic textbooks in American schools and they do not support President Trump’s attempt to keep Americans safe from violent Islamic migrants who cross our own borders.  There is no doubt that the ADL, AJC, and regrettably others are Progressives, globalists, who desire one large chaotic world with one ruler at the top for which the masses will have neither voice nor vote.      

 

The Left seeks parity from disparity and expects Israel to do with her invaders what no other country has been able to do – welcome as equal, for a peaceful coexistence, the Arabs who have imposed hate, death and destruction on Israel even before its sovereignty was established.  The Muslim invaders changed the Middle East and Persia drastically and are now slowly destroying Sweden, Germany, England, the Netherlands, Italy and France and others. The Muslims are marching, terrorizing the host population, and violently wrecking property.  They are wreaking havoc so that women are no longer able to walk the streets in safety, for fear of firebombs, acid attacks or rape for not dressing in full Islamic shroud.  The Jews may no longer wear kippahs or any other Jewish-identifying clothing or attend synagogues in those countries.  They are being forced to leave behind their homes, businesses and friends and, in many instances, go to Israel, where the American do-gooders are willing to have them live through a repeat performance.  Poland, Hungary, Latvia and the Czech Republic are refusing the migrants entry despite intimidation from the European Union. Meanwhile, in the rest of Europe, Muslims are manipulating themselves into positions of authority in order to Islamize the established culture.  Ninety self-identified Muslims are running for office in the U.S.   

What the Lauders of our world do not understand is what could happen if the Muslims had equal status, and ultimately equal population, in Israel.  They would establish sharia courts to supersede the laws of the land, and enact Islamic punishments (beheading, stoning, whipping, chopping limbs) for even the simplest of crimes.  They would insist on Female Genital Mutilation on young girls, allow the marriage of adult males to prepubescent girls, allow bigamy (four wives per man), and sanction wife beating as a religious prerogative.  They would establish Islamic holidays as national and mandatory, allowing for the inhumane, barbaric torture of cattle as they’re driven to slaughter, and insist on halal foods in all public venues.  They would declare Jewish holidays, dance, music, and other festivities offensive, beginning with “no-go” zones.  To ensure the wearing of burqas, they would mass-rape women until they complied.  What the adherents of Islam cannot accomplish through law, they would enforce with the same violence seen in Islamic countries and Europe today.

 

The time would come in Israel for Arab men to apply for social services in support of their numerous wives and children, that would be approved by at least the Arab half of the Israeli government and drain Israel’s coffers. As the number of rage-filled youths proliferates to exceed the Jewish population, perhaps in one generation, they will create enough riots and chaos to reach their stated goal to free Israel of the Jews “from the river to the sea,” the call for genocide. Within a matter of a few years, we could see Ronald Lauder being lauded in New York for his donation to the new memorial or museum to the State of Israel, but just as he would be ready to speak, there would be the unnerving tremble of an imminent, severe earthquake.  His mother, Estee Lauder, would be turning over and over in her grave.

Ronald Lauder has tried to impose a psychological threat against Israel, saying that he sees American-Jewish youth becoming less attached to their heritage, and that his suggestions are the remedy, but that is not the case.  American youth, in general, are propagandized and Islamized in American schools.  They are being robbed of a good education; deprived of math and reading skills; taught that Islam is superior to Judaism and Christianity; and that America has been a colonialist nation, responsible for slavery.  From K-12 through universities, our youth are being indoctrinated and disenfranchised by the left, and it has extended to such as the ADL, the AJC, and Jewish Federations, groups once counted as friends and honest supporters of Israel.

Sunday Talks: Chuck Todd Interviews Rudy Giuliani As the Media Narrative Collapses…


I know, I know…. no-one wants to watch the insufferable Chuck Toad. However, the value in this interview is recognizing how desperate the Resistance Media are to keep up morale… and yet they simultaneously know the two-year narrative is collapsing around them.

It is increasingly obvious the media have run out of ammunition to keep defending the “Muh Russia” nonsense.  Ex. where’s Stormy Daniels?…. Anyone?  Anyone?

Additionally, Ristvan emphasizes key points many are noticing. The New York Times article about Don McGahn cooperating with Robert Mueller was a big (Trump Derangement Syndrome) mistake for at least three reasons.

  1. Shows Mueller team is leaking. How else would NYT ‘know’ McGahn ‘gave 30 hours’ of testimony? Leak or made up, there is not a third possibility.
  2. Trump could have asserted client attorney privilege, but as McGahn’s own attorney pointed out, did not—-because nothing to hide. The badly damages the collusion/obstruction theory, more evidence is just a witch hunt. Both points help Trump.
  3. Allows Trump to counterattack directly both NYT fake news and Mueller witch hunt. Which he did immediately.

The New York Times did not think the consequences through. Big blunder.

R-E-S-P-I-C-T !!


Instant classic:

Sunday Talks: John Ratcliffe Very Interesting Interview With Maria Bartiromo…


Representative John Ratcliffe (R-TX) is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and likely will be selected by Chairman Bob Goodlatte as one of the team, from a joint committee assembly, to question Bruce Ohr at the upcoming August 28th testimony.

@02:09

It is important to note the particular point being made by Mr. Ratcliffe around the relationship between Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr. Also remember that DOJ Deputy Attorney General Mary McCord was a participant when she replaced Deputy Attorney General John Carlin in October 2016.

Sunday Talks: Rudy Giuliani Discusses Ridiculous New York Times McGahn Narrative and Bruce/Nellie Ohr….


Bottom line: At the 30,000/ft level the control agents of the Democrat political apparatus are seeing how the RNC, White House and political opposition are aligning the dates to use the manufactured Russia narrative and corrupt Mueller investigation against them. The control agents are the upper-level Democrat donors and political influencers; not the fringe moonbats.

The potential of a crushing political defeat, further destroying the Democrat party for years, is a real and increasingly likely possibility.  The professional political class need to keep the morale up amid the resistance crowd.  The NYT article on Don McGahn, along with a host of other over-the-top fake news claims is part of the morale strategy.

Rudy Giuliani Discusses Status of Mueller Investigation…


President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani appears on Fox News to discuss the latest events, scripts and narratives within the Mueller investigation.

Sketchy Affiliations – As Expected Lawyer/Lobbyist Adam Waldman Refuses to Cooperate With Senate Judiciary Committee…


Adam Waldman is the lawyer/lobbyist for Oleg Deripaska, the Russian billionaire who appears to be a key background player in the 2016 DOJ/FBI scheme against presidential candidate Donald Trump.  Additionally, Waldman represents the U.S. interests of Christopher Steele, author of the Clinton-Steele Dossier that was used by the DOJ/FBI during their scheme against presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Waldman was also the person in contact with corrupt Senate Intelligence Committee vice-chairman Mark Warner early in 2017 when the ‘insurance policy’ was deployed against newly elected President Donald Trump.  As discovered in text messages, Waldman was the liaison, the person providing plausible deniability, between Senator Warner, Christopher Steele and Oleg Deripaska.

(Link to All Text Messages)

As many people are now aware, the SSCI is the most corrupt committee apparatus within congress; and as noted in the text messages, Adam Waldman only wanted to work with the Senate Intelligence Committee on his endeavors.

However, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has requested testimony from Mr. Waldman surrounding his contacts and engagements throughout the 2016/2017 operation to undermine and remove President Donald Trump.  In a response letter released today (full pdf below) lawyers representing Mr. Waldman are trying to keep their client from forced testimony; and it appears likely he is remaining outside of the country to avoid being captured in the investigative net.

Here’s the letter from Waldman’s lawyers:

https://www.scribd.com/embeds/386518002/content?start_page=1&view_mode=&access_key=key-s0VyY7VNrInqMkJjYjuv

.

It appears a little hypocritical for Mr. Waldman to be evading questioning considering it was Waldman who contacted journalist John Solomon earlier in the year to present a story conducive to his client Oleg Deripaska.   He was full of information in May, 2018, but when facing questioning about that information in August – he disappears.

Waldman’s current triangulation is part of the reason for our earlier emphasis/warning on the construct of the May 2018 Solomon article.  After all, everyone involved in the ‘soft coup attempt’ is desperate to safeguard their own interests.

Adam Waldman was representing Oleg Deripaska’s interests in the U.S. to politicians and officials. In May of 2018, John Solomon was contacted by Adam Waldman with a story about how the FBI contacted Deripaska for help in their Trump Russia investigation in September of 2016.

Keep in mind, this is Waldman contacting Solomon with a story.

Waldman told Solomon a story about how his client Oleg Deripaska was approached by the FBI in September of 2016 and asked for help with information about Paul Manafort and by extension Donald Trump. Within the backstory for the FBI and Deripaska was a prior connection between Robert Mueller and Deripaska in 2009.

Again, as you read the recap, remember this is Waldman contacting Solomon. Article Link Here – and my summary below:

♦In 2009 the FBI, then headed by Robert Mueller, requested the assistance of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska in an operation to retrieve former FBI officer and CIA resource Robert Levinson who was captured in Iran two years earlier. The agent assigned to engage Deripaska was Andrew McCabe; the primary FBI need was financing and operational support. Deripaska spent around $25 million and would have succeeded except the U.S. State Department, then headed by Hillary Clinton, backed out.

♦In September of 2016 Andrew McCabe is now Deputy Director of the FBI, when two FBI agents approached Deripaska in New York – again asking for his help. This time the FBI request was for Deripaska to outline Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort as a tool of the Kremlin. Deripaska once hired Manafort as a political adviser and invested money with him in a business venture that went bad. Deripaska sued Manafort, alleging he stole money. However, according to the article, despite Deripaska’s disposition toward Manafort he viewed the request as absurd. He laughed the FBI away, telling them: “You are trying to create something out of nothing.”

This story, as told from the perspective of Adam Waldman -Deripaska’s lawyer/lobbyist- is important because it highlights a connection between Robert Mueller and Oleg Deripaska; a connection Mueller and the DOJ/FBI never revealed on their own.

I wrote about the ramifications of the Solomon Story HERE. Again, hopefully most will review; because there’s a larger story now visible with the new communication between Christopher Steele and Bruce Ohr.

It is likely that Oleg’s 2016 entry into the U.S. was facilitated as part of a quid-pro-quo; either agreed in advance, or, more likely, planned by the DOJ/FBI for later use in their 2016 Trump operation; as evidenced in the September 2016 FBI request. Regardless of the planning aspect, billionaire Deripaska is connected to Chris Steele, a source for Chris Steele, and likely even the employer of Chris Steele.

The FBI used Oleg Deripaska (source), and Oleg Deripaska used the FBI (visa).

Here’s where it gets interesting….

In that May article John Solomon reports that Deripaska wanted to testify to congress last year (2017), without any immunity request, but was rebuked. Who blocked his testimony?

In 2017 Oleg Deripaska was represented in the U.S. by Adam Waldman. Mr. Waldman was also representing Christopher Steele, the author of the Dossier. Waldman was the liaison Senator Mark Warner (Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman) was using to try and set up a secret meeting with Christopher Steele. {Text Messages}

As you can see from the text messages (more here), the House Intelligence Committee wanted to interview Deripaska. However, based on their ongoing contact and relationship Deripaska’s lawyer, Adam Waldman, asks Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chair Mark Warner for feedback.

Oleg Deripaska was blocked from testifying to congress. Now, it was obviously not from the HPSCI (Nunes Committee), but rather by the Senate Intel Committee, via Vice-Chair Senator Mark Warner. Oh yes, THAT Senator Mark Warner again.

Now, think about this…. Yes, with Oleg Deripaska in the picture there was indeed Russian meddling in the 2016 election; only, it wasn’t the type of meddling currently being sold. The FBI/DOJ were using Russian Deripaska to frame their Russian conspiracy narrative. It is almost a certainty that Deripaska was one of Chris Steele’s sources for the dossier.

Now, put yourself in Deripaska’s shoes and think about what happens AFTER candidate Donald Trump surprisingly wins the election.

All of a sudden Deripaska the asset becomes a risk to the corrupt Scheme Team (DOJ/FBI et al); especially as the DOJ/FBI then execute the “insurance policy” effort against Donald Trump…. and eventually enlist Robert Mueller.

It is entirely possible for a Russian to be blackmailing someone, but it ain’t Trump vulnerable to blackmail; it’s the conspiracy crew within the DOJ and FBI. Deripaska now has blackmail material on Comey, McCabe and crew.

After the 2017 (first year) failure of the “insurance policy” it now seems more likely President Trump will outlive the soft coup. In May 2018, Oleg tells Waldman to call John Solomon and tell him the story from a perspective favorable to Deripaska.

As the story is told, in 2017 Oleg was more than willing to testify to congress… likely laughing the entire time… but the corrupt participants within congress damned sure couldn’t let Deripaska testify. Enter corrupt SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner:

Um, we’ve got a problem here Mark…

The Russians (Deripaska) really do have leverage and blackmail… but it ain’t over Trump. Oleg has blackmail on Comey, McCabe and conspiracy crew. Oleg Deripaska must be kept away from congress and away from exposing the scheme.

Guess who else must be controlled and/or kept away from congress?

Julian Assange.

Assange has evidence the Russians didn’t hack the DNC.

Between Deripaska’s first-hand knowledge of the DOJ/FBI work on both the Dossier and the DOJ/FBI intention for his use as a witness; and Julian Assange’s first-hand knowledge of who actually took the DNC email communication;… well, the entire Russian narrative could explode in their faces.

Control is needed.

You can almost hear the corrupt U.S. intelligence officials calling their U.K. GCHQ partners in Britain and yelling at them to do something, anything, and for the love of God, shut down Assange’s access to the internet STAT…. Yeah, funny that.

Now, who moves into position to control Julian Assange?

Well, well, well…. Lookie here? Who dat? Apparently the SSCI wants to interview WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, in a closed session. Signed by none-other than our corrupt-o-crats Richard Burr and Mark Warner. Yeah, funny that.

Lest anyone need a reminder…. “The most corrupt part of congress is the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). The SSCI is the center of the deepest part of the Deep State swamp. The SSCI never, ever, E.V.E.R… does anything that does not protect and advance the self-interest of the corrupt Washington DC professional political class.”

Now do we see why the SSCI is the center of protecting the entire fraudulent apparatus?

It’s somewhat humorous to look at this fiasco from the perspective of Oleg Deripaska. He must be having a lot of laughs with his Ruskie friends about these stupid Americans and how the intelligence apparatus of the United States of America is controlled by corrupt politicians trying to save themselves and the corrupt institutions.

The Russians, notorious for sowing discord, are being used as a shield from sunlight upon actions taken by U.S. own intelligence officers: James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, John Brennan, James Clapper etc.

There’s a reason why I keep emphasizing the source of the John Solomon story was Adam Waldman. Think about it from the perspective of the conspiracy group reading how Oleg instructed Waldman to present his story.

With Deripaska telling Solomon how the FBI contacted him; the background of their prior collaborative relationship; and the likelihood of Deripaska giving information to Chris Steele for the dossier; the scheme team really, really, needed to double down on the Russian conspiracy narrative in case Oleg ever did testify to congress.

By doubling down on the Russian Collusion narrative the conspirators created a ‘catch-22’ defense. They could/can claim Deripaska was/is giving disinformation in his version of events to support the interests of Russia and sewing chaos in America etc. And any Republican who would give Deripaska a platform to tell what happened in 2016 would be doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin. See how that works?

The soft coup team protects themselves by impugning the motive of Deripaska, and diminishing his credibility under the auspices of Russian disinformation.

Here’s the text messages between Senator Mark Warner and Lobbyist/Lawyer Adam Waldman:

https://www.scribd.com/embeds/371101285/content?start_page=1&view_mode=&access_key=key-pMEa6x5I0qt6SU7fudq7

Lastly, Senator Tom Cotton actually asked FBI Director Christopher Wray if Oleg Deripaska was employing Christopher Steele.

Director Wray said he couldn’t answer. WATCH:
