The whole Russiagate thing couldn't pass the smell test from the inception and was nothing more than a crude PR media campaign. A moron could have come up with such "operation". But here we are, this partisan shyster passed for "the country's top intelligence officer for Russia". She couldn't have been because I can only reiterate the point--today Washington has NO real analysts and Russia experts anywhere near levers of power and influence.
Remarkably, Larry delves into the level of delusion of the so called "expert community" when it comes to Russia.
Mitchell is your classic "humanities" product of the US degree mills with zero grasp of Russia, modern warfare and real economy. As a result, the only thing these types of people can do is a doctrine-mongering based on white board theories, which led to a precipitous decline of the American intellectual, diplomatic and military abilities. You cannot explain to contemporary average American "diplomat" or intel person what Correlation of Forces and Means is and how it shapes operational and strategic realities and national grand strategies--they simply have no tool kit to grasp it because it lies completely outside the American experience. Those few who get it are not allowed anywhere near levers of power and think-tank and academic sinecures. And that is why the US loses all of her wars and is now completely within the vicious circle of national humiliation.
The United States is ungovernable, or rather is run by organized crime groups leeching off the demoralized and exhausted Americans. I, certainly, don't like Trump, but campaign against him unleashed by Obama and DNC and by the so called "intelligence" (they are only good at sabotage and do not know what real intelligence is) is a state treason. But in Washington it is a norm. Nothing to it, guys, nobody goes to prison--move along, move along.
Of course, the first thing one needs to point out is that the term "analyst" applies to Danchenko only in so far as it applies to all of us who have a legitimate anal orifice. Other than that, this loser Danchenko has a typical background and career of political "scientists" and paid BSer (possibly prostituting himself as an asset to a variety of intel and governmental services). Generally, the guy is yet another iteration of "freedom loving" Russians and is in the same league as Masha Gessen, Julia Ioffe or such "expert" in Russia as Rebekah Koffler whose only Raison D'etre of their "professional" activity is to supply propaganda narratives about Russia to their US masters. Now, one of them, it seems, got busted for:
According to the indictment, Danchenko repeatedly lied to the FBI
about his sources of information and that deception mattered because the
FBI “devoted substantial resources attempting to investigate and
corroborate the allegations” in the dossier and had “relied in large
part” on that research in obtaining the surveillance warrants. A lawyer for Danchenko had no immediate comment. The
indictment says Danchenko misled the FBI by denying that he had
discussed any allegations in the dossier with a contact of his who
worked as a public relations executive and was also a longtime
Democratic operative who campaigned for Clinton, Trump's 2016 opponent.
Let me translate it to you into normal human language: this Danchenko dude (as is the case with MI-6 creep Steele) simply lied to FBI that the Democratic Party, namely Hillary Clinton and Obama's political machines, were directly involved into subversion of the Constitution of the United States and a shitload of many other laws, by means of providing fake information involving foreign power by means of avatars, whose "credibility" should have been enhanced by the fact that Danchenko is "Russian" and Steele allegedly had some contacts in Moscow, which was a full BS. Steele would have been figured out by good level FSB operative in 15 minutes, because Russia Steele knew in early 1990s and Russia of 2016, let alone of 2021--are two different countries.
So, pop-corn time. I will, however, reiterate--no matter how I despise Trump, NO person deserves to have his name, however flawed, to be dragged through the dirt most of which was a perverted fantasy straight out of Clinton and Obama houses and which accelerated already fast decline of the United States and completely discredited already tarnished American political system. This is an indictment to the whole political system:
The indictment also accuses Danchenko of lying to the FBI about a July
2016 phone call he says he had with someone he believed to be the
president of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce. That person,
according to the dossier and Danchenko's account to the FBI, told him
about a “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” between the Trump
campaign and Russia. The indictment says Danchenko fabricated his
account and never actually received such a phone call.
Whole Russiagate was a fabrication by Democrats, but Danchenko is important, especially when his background is considered, in illustrating what a pile of delirious shit US foreign policy towards Russia is because it gets its "info" from such "experts", both inside Russia and inside the US. The result is totally expected--an utter disaster. And as always, don't tell me that I didn't warn you.
P.S. Congratulations to Virginia, and especially on this wonderful lieutenant-governor elect Winsome Sears. Black community should be truly proud of such a woman. She is inspiring.
Here he is again, in motion, and you can clearly see his posture and uncanny ability to sell BS on a major scale:
He obtained law degree in 2013 from London School of Economics (ahem, red flag immediately) and as he describes himself:
“the gay Canadian vegan who somehow
ended up creating ‘Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare mindfuck tool,’”
who enjoys a wild ride “from fashion to fascism to fashion.” (After
starting out as a fashion school student, he said he was hired by H&M in 2018.)
Aw, so cute. Well, evidently this very gay, vegan and very emotional and sensitive person's 'fashionable' BS is being called by none other than:
The United Kingdom’s Information
Commissioner’s Office (ICO) spent over two years investigating Cambridge
Analytica (CA) and associated entities, including its parent company, Strategic
Communication Laboratories (SCL); the Canada-based Aggregate IQ (AIQ);
and the research facility Global Science Research (GSR). ... After examining Cambridge Analytica’s
role in the 2016 presidential election in the United States, the 2016
Brexit referendum in the UK, and allegations of ties to Russian
government influence operations, the ICO found a chaotic, largely
ineffectual operation with no connection to the Kremlin. The closure of
the investigation marked yet another anti-climactic denouement of a key
Russiagate plot point. Elizabeth Denham methodically
discredited the baseless allegations of collusion between the data firm,
the Russian government, and the Trump campaign. Further, her report
poured cold water on the influence of Cambridge Analytica in Brexit,
demonstrating the company’s negligible impact on the vote.
Oops! So, Anglo-American gay activist who doesn't hate Russia and doesn't have agenda one way or another--never encountered one. They have, in their minds, all reasons to hate Russia because, well, Russia always culturally, and now officially, through amended Constitution says this in Article 72, para G1:
Translation: Under combined management of Russian Federation and its subjects are: defense of family, motherhood, fatherhood and childhood; defense of the institute of marriage as a union of a man and a woman; creation of the conditions for an appropriate upbringing of children within family and also for grown up children carrying out their duty of providing care for their parents.
I will, at this stage, deviate from this topic, for now, but it is worth investigating, which is easy to do, why Western gays do not like Russia and Russians. I guess Russians lack of being 'emotional and sensitive' when making sure that their children are insulated from "progressive" agenda of the West. But this fact apart, my issue is not just with, totally expected, BS from Anglo-American press and its bunch of hacks who pass in it as "experts", my issue with that is:
And why exactly is this dude a techie?
He is definitely a hipster but what passes today for techie? No really? The guy definitely has some background in...'fashion', which is today nothing more than yet another alternative route for cultural degeneracy and spread of deadly infection of post-modernism among 'emotional and sensitive' generation whatever its title, he also has a law degree. I also happened to know some top notch mathematicians and physicists (Ph.Ds, no less) but they are not "techies", albeit they can do data-analysis on levels this Mr. Wylie, let alone this bimbo form The Guardian, can only dream about. Despite me being able to write code in AS 3.0, VBA, JavaScript (I guess) and having few PCs and laptops at home, am I a techie? No. So, what is a 'techie' when applied to this dude? Is this because he knows how to 'drag and click'? The "quality" of the Western 'data-analysis' was on full display when those idiots failed to predict anything right in 2016 and even today, two full days after what was supposed to be Biden's (DNC) triumph. I know real techies, I used to be one myself, that title requires a lot of effort in education and of a serious technical knowledge, including very serious background in software engineering. It starts on the level of a graduate degree in STEM or vast experience of working with complex systems.
As Grayzone concludes:
The methodically detailed
investigation’s findings were a damning commentary on the Western media
that opportunistically painted SCL-Cambridge Analytica as a batcave
command center for Putin and the Bannonite far-right.
This is everything one needs to know about people who are being praised in Western media as "experts" and "whistle blowers". I don't know what type of whistle Wylie was blowing but I am sure it wasn't the one associated with honest, even if misguided, intentions. But then again, we all know how this usually ends up, remember?
Bogus sells in the West, in fact, this is the only thing modern Western "intellectual elites" are capable of producing. So, don't ask me why the modern West is in such a deep shit--it will get even more interesting in coming weeks.
P.S. Sad news. A legend, yet another one, passed on. Ken Hensley of British progressive hard rock stalwarts Uriah Heep, its recognizable Hammond organ voice and prolific song writer is not with us anymore. 2020 is a bad year. Shadows of Grief by Uriah Heep.
RIP, Ken--you are rocking now in heavens with David Byron, Lee Kerslake and Gary Thain. My generation in Russia, who grew up with Uriah Heep's music, are in the shadows of grief today.
Basically, US is officially a banana republic. It is not about "unmasking", it is about Durham not even producing a report at all in the end. Ain't American "democracy" grand? Watch the last minute of Fox report--that is a wowser, don't pay attention to "unmasking" thing--this one was never going to fly.
No really. Is it even a news anymore for anyone with a half-brain and an attention span longer than the length of a hemorrhoid cream commercial? I don't think so. Recall what I wrote 5 days ago:
But before Durham releases his findings, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified a wonderfully telling letter:
My question remains the same--will we see anyone going, finally, behind bars? I would love to see a few Pulitzer Prize winners, who abuse life-giving remuneration springs in all kind of shitty US propaganda rags like NYT, or WaPo, or NBC, or whatever else is out there which took part in de facto coup, to be stripped of their mostly crappy credentials and spend some time in solitary confinement contemplating the fact that words, which constitute malicious lies, do have consequences. But then again, American main-stream journalism being a euphemism for whoring, usually destroys psychological mechanisms responsible for a sense of honor, duty and honesty, pretty fast. I would love to see it, even more so than seeing HRC's and Obama's cabal getting persecuted for treason. Never mind, those ass-holes destroying relations with Russia--the only country on Earth capable to wipe the United States off the map completely. All of that in order to hide the fact that they are incompetent crooks. Is what remains of the Republic even salvageable? As Captain Ed Hocken (played by incomparable George Kennedy) from The Naked Gun would say:
Doctors say that it has a 50/50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.
LOL. As the saying goes, and when we thought we hit the bottom, somebody knocked from below. I cannot describe, I have no descriptive powers, the whole Gogol-Kafkaesque nature of this all, I am sure they are rolling on the floors right now in Moscow from Homeric laughter. Here is a whole thing by AG William Barr. It is delightful in the extreme in a sense that, with all my revulsion toward GOP, it shows utter incompetence, malfeasance and infantilism of DNC and of Obama Administration's operatives and moles residing in the nooks and crannies of D.C. putrid swamp. A bunch of narcissists, talent-less empty suits, headed by a modern, and very real, iteration of a Wicked Witch of the East couldn't take it, that they lost in 2016 because they are all, without exception, are full of shit and most are seditious traitors driven by a sense of entitlement.
Are Durham's, long overdue, revelations next? Just think about it, HRC, DNC, Obama's stooges hired some washed out second rate BSer from MI-6 whose main source was the guy who was considered a national security threat and was in contacts with Russia's intelligence. This is rich, LOL. Remarkably, I do not look at HRC, Obama, or their really pathetic minions such as Clapper or Brennan, or Komey as merely political figures. Nope, I view them primarily as ass-holes in human terms (professionally they all are zeros). Human trash with no morality, ethics or honor--just one highly concentrated case of excrement. US media pundits do not qualify even for excrement, they are below it in ratings of human depravity. This Barr's memo, obviously, opens many doors into such matters as, say, current BLM-ANTIFA-US media driven domestic terrorism and puts some DNC operatives under scrutiny.
This memo is way more important than whatever will be a publicity re: Biden family cottage industry in Ukraine, albeit this too adds to what becomes increasingly desperate situation for Democrats. Dems' "ticket" with both parties on it, a senile pervert and an over-ambitious nobody, utterly unqualified to run local convenience store, is an Exhibit A of America's "elites" corruption and contempt towards law, order and, in the end, people of the United States. Mike Whitney gave it a good write up and want to quote him here:
That pretty much describes it. I hope Barr's memo is just the start of a process of dismantling of the Democratic Party as we know it, with reconstitution of it at some point of time (maybe) as a center-left, labor-oriented political party which may even be called something else altogether. What will be left should be removed to the political margins--never to be considered a nation-wide political force. Only after that one may start looking at what should be done with the party of Neo-liberalism and of Wall Street, you know, GOP. Maybe there are still some juices left in it for formation of genuinely conservative nationalist party rooted in humble foreign policy and economic nationalism.
But, as you know--hope dies last. But still, I had such an awesome profoundly good laugh today that I let my imagination fly a bit over this present day American Circus.
You all know by now that I do not trust practically any think-tank, be it a public one with a rather open (or semi-open) agenda or even more "mysterious" (and "secret") think-tanks that are closer to governments, especially if they are US think-tanks operating within American cultural milieu, which has a tendency to dumb things down until they turn into a grotesque. One of the reasons, apart from incompetence of a majority of cadres in those "think-tanks", is the fact that in such fields as history, public or even military policy, any person with IQ slightly higher than the room temperature, given appropriate time and resources, can arrive to two mutually exclusive conclusions based on absolutely same set of data, which, in the end underscores the fraudulent and pseudo-academic nature of the field of a political "science." Take me personally, for example, albeit this applies equally to many people with a professional background. I can, with numbers and models, prove simultaneously that, say, Tomahawk missile is both an awesome weapon, while being simultaneously an obsolete and highly ineffective.
I can make many of such mutually exclusive claims but I personally don't do that because of a simple golden rule--I am a public person and there are people out there who will, unlike it will be the case with most civilian people who wouldn't know the difference, call my BS and will ruin my reputation, which is dear to me, because it allows me to periodically publish books and buy good sour mash and good cigars on royalties from sales. This, plus, I, frankly, respect myself and people who read me too much to feed them an absolute BS and pretend that this is the way it is supposed to be. It is not. There are two ways of going about it--you either produce what can convincingly be proven to be the truth or very close to it, or you come up with a very convincing and professionally tailored BS, which will pass for the truth. Examples of former are numerous: I (not me only, this is just for illustration) state that hypersonic weapons are revolutionary and changed warfare. US pundits initially state that it is all just smoke and mirrors, two years later the US is trying desperately to develop own ones. You see how it works? Life itself puts everything in its place. But the latter one is a complex issue, when we talk about US vast think-tankdom and all those cadres abusing their sinecures in them only because they are ideologically pure not because they are competent. Listen to this:
Brookings Institution, the cabal of double-speaking neocons and liberal interventionists all of whom are rooted ideologically in DNC's insane irrational world of Comeys, Strzoks, Clappers and other creeps such as Brennan, all of who wouldn't qualify for a lawn mower position in apartment complex in any normal country, yet, here is this one of the America's "preeminent" think-tanks which is an originator of a "dossier", which, shouldn't it has been a reason for and foundation of America's national insanity and hysteria, would have been laughed out of the office of a low level operative or analyst in Zimbabwean or Papua New Guinea intelligence services. Not in America where "intelligence professionals" and "sources" create an alternative reality which, finally, did an irreversible damage to a country which becomes more and more incompetent across the board exponentially.
No, of course, there was a laughter and an amusement, slowly turning into a worry, that nuclear superpower was turning itself into a global Jerry Springer Show. I can only imagine people in FSB, SVR or GRU having their eyes popping out while observing how a bunch of losers, including ones with Pulitzers, as Maria astutely observed in a video, assembled a pile of a steaming shit, such as Russia Collusion, aka Russiagate, so unbelievable in sheer cretinism of its assumptions and fantasies that one has to pinch oneself to make sure that one is awake and is not having some kind of Kafkaesque nightmare. Russians and Chinese didn't have to do anything but to sit back and observe how a bunch of creeps, from, now a global laughing stock, aka US "intelligence community", to a cesspool of US main-stream media were dragging the whole country into the tar pit. They DID succeed. The US today is damaged goods, ungovernable and spiraling down into economic oblivion. Nor do I have anymore any faith in AG Barr or Durham's investigation--it was ongoing now for far too long and, most likely, will end up not with a bang but with a whimper.
But there is more even to Nunes's hints that Brookings is a beneficiary of Chinese "grants." Possible? Yes, undeniably possible, but how probable--that is yet to be determined. I have my ideas but I will not disclose them. Plus, even if it was true, China is steadily removing the United States as main market for her goods and, frankly, I am getting tired pointing out that Chinese economy dwarfs that of the United States and China has a shitload of US dollars and other "instruments" to simply buy the US, or destroy it. US convulsions in trying to stop the Nord Stream-2 or decouple from China (something tells me that China does the same), or trying to unleash new Cold War--are all signs of the situation which now is a meme and is usually accompanied by this caption: "seriously?"
I guess the United States needs to really try to actually uphold its own Constitution and law and order. The more talking, as opposed to putting perpetrators behind bars, is done on American TV, while the country burns, the clearer it becomes that nothing can be discussed with these people. Plus, American "think-tanks"? They are tanks, all right, with no think involved. What did you expect from people with Ph.Ds in political "science"?
In related news, Russian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that trials of 3M22 Zircon are winding down and tests are successful.
There was a lot of festivities on Russia's four Fleets and one Flotilla yesterday due to Navy's Day celebration and Sevastopol was deliriously happy from seeing Fleet growing and doing its thing, as I remember it from 50 and 40 years ago.
The only thing different today is that the explosion from torpedo was done then way outside of the Northern Bay and that one usually was gigantic and loud as hell. Well. If you are a kid--this is precisely the moment you decide to get into naval academy.
Here is yesterday's discussion on the behavior of Oregon's seditious and treasonous authorities and how the so called federalism really doesn't work.
The reason it doesn't work is because Americans are really not a nation and never existed as such for the last 50 years at minimum. Add here these proverbial States' Rights and US main stream media which are primarily staffed with human compost driven by hatred and egos, and you have a recipe for disaster. And disaster it is, because any state or city in the US now can be occupied by any combination of insane and agenda-driven lunatics, elected by their own kind in a farce which in the US is called "free elections" and there you go--federal authorities can go and screw themselves even in case of the country being torn apart, in our particular case, by people who in the normal country will be hunted down and arrested for treason or any other high crimes. Not in the US, which shows, apart from a complete insanity in the foreign policy, a complete impotence in governing and is trying hard to reach the status of a filed state. Some vast areas of the US are already failed cities and states, ranging from Seattle to Portland and NYC, from Oregon to California.
In the same time here is another example. Russian authorities arrest an acting governor of Khabarovsk Region Sergei Furgal. The guy is, as is expected from Far East since 1990s, in effect, a mafia leader and is directly complicit in the murders of several businessmen in the region. Western media immediately, as is expected, begin to "report" of all kinds of BS on this issue and even state that:
For mentally (and morally) challenged Western media it is beyond their grasp, even when one accounts for Russophobic agenda, that this arrest is one of many sweeping Russia in dealing with the "heritage" of 1990s which saw organized crime penetrating political power at the highest level and that it is not about "elections". They say there were 10, 000 people--not a big number for a city of more than half-a-million (larger crowds visit soccer matches in the province) and those "protesters" are mostly from organizations and businesses controlled by criminal groups. Let them "protest" as long as as it is peaceful. But people from Investigation Committee and FSB are already on the ground and the removal will continue because in Russia a concept of rule of law and of public safety is increasingly enforced with all required power and the overwhelming vote for new Constitution is a proof for that, because it is a national Constitution and a real federal law.
Meanwhile, in the US, there is still no indictments. I doubt any are coming. In the country with pretend-play laws, real crimes can only be punished by pretend-play indictments.
by pretend-play courts and pretend-play justice. That's American federalism for ya, folks.
But I am on record for many years that US "elites" are not only incompetent, most of them are cowards, across the board.
One of the items which really attracted my attention today was this. Oh, I know, it is Russian "propaganda", but still--this is Miami Police showing "solidarity":
This is so reminiscent of one relatively recent event, that it is almost creepy. Remember, 2014, Kiev, Maidan, "Revolution". Here is Ukraine's riot police, being "politely" asked to kneel and ask for forgiveness. I, believe this particular event (among many similar ones) took place in Lvov. (or Lviv)
So, for Miami Police I have a message--you do not carry out your duties, choosing instead virtue signalling, like "solidarity" with domestic terrorists and thugs--you will get on the knees in the end, and not by your own volition. I know, I know, US political class being cowards and wussies that they are, most of them anyway, or, altogether being instigators of this outrage are not capable of normal governance. Of course, the jokes about Maria Zaharova and Ryabkov flying to US and beginning to distribute cookies and muffins for American "democracy movement", like Vikki Nuland did in 2014 in Kiev, are very popular currently in Russia:
Nuland at Maidan
But (bitter) jokes aside, as I stated many times, US is ungovernable and the root cause of this, all economic and other very important issues aside, for now, is in the policies of Democratic Party, DNC and most US Main Stream Media. GOP can create only revulsion in normal person and the percentage of truly decent people from this Party in US Congress is approaching zero, but, even considering a definite and constantly growing economic disparity and war-mongering modern GOP perpetuates, it is precisely Democratic Party Establishment which since 2016 and launching of the Anti-Trump campaign is directly involved in seditious and treasonous activity.
This whole mayhem long ago stopped being about the killing of George Floyd, it is about de-stabilization of already barely standing country, undermining what's left (not much) of its political system, governance and state institutions. Recall, browse this blog, on many occasions I stressed--I have, as many of my peers from Soviet Union and from Soviet Armed Forces, some of them long dead, an experience in the collapse of the country. We were at the front lines, or rather running seams, then in late 1980s- early 1990s. The collapse could have been stopped, but Soviet "Party" elite, headed by coward and moron Gorbachev, was so incompetent that it couldn't even react properly and use force accordingly. This whole thing reminds me of that, in fact it is so reminiscent of those times, that it is getting very uncomfortable. I can tell you more--US political class is even stupider than Gorbachev and his cabal. US Main Stream Media is a human compost, which thinks that when shit will truly hit the fan they will be spared. They are wrong. During 911, NYC was a city united in tragedy and people were helping each-other, let editorial board of NYC, as an example, navigate city divided. Hopefully, this will not come to this.
The United States is done (it was for some time now) as a "shining city upon a hill", the main issue today is merely if this could be contained more or less, and how fast this country will turn into a third world shithole, a destination it is heading to with an impressive acceleration. Well, the country where cops and somebody's guilt-ridden imbeciles express solidarity or beg for forgiveness, while their country is burning--chances of such a country surviving are diminishing with each passing day. But in the good news, stock market is doing great! While great democratic hope and specialist in urban combat tactics, law enforcement, firearms and huge experience in the line of duty, Joe Biden suggests:
Wait, Joe never served a day in any armed capacity in his life? He never faced a bogey with a weapon, especially shooting at him ever? So, he doesn't know the difference between safety of a firing range and the street? Yep, he doesn't and never did, so I guess Joe's advice is as good as his mental faculties. I may not like Trump, but he is right--The National Guard should be deployed en-force, Antifa--to be designated a domestic terrorist group, I wish some media were too, I know a couple who are into fomenting riots and troubles. Hey, FBI, here is a real interesting case for ya. In the end, those bricks may turn out to be... Russian, right? And most importantly--the investigation into Russiagate must continue:
Aw, poor Rod. I wonder if all this mayhem has anything to do with exposing Democratic top as treasonous seditious organization? Hm.
On a more serious note, beyond the campuses of US universities infested with white upper-middle class students who study there nothing of value and who are one of the major brainwashed segments cheering (and participating) on the breakdown of law and order, beyond the mostly black hoods where drugs, incest and violent crime rule, there is still out there a silent majority (for now), which is thinking while looking at all that--I know it is, arms sales and applications for Concealed Carry skyrocketed in May, even among those who otherwise would vote Democrat. As I said, the root cause of a present mayhem is with DNC and its media machine and if the whole thing blows up really--I wouldn't want to be the one with the record of calling on what amounts to destruction of this country. On a lighter note:
One of the overseen gems of a comedy.
P.S. Meanwhile in a major addition to a circus that the United States has become, get this:
The question is not about sanctions on NS 2, that is clear that the US simply has no other instruments than blackmailing Europeans. The kicker is the title of the bill: Protecting Europe's Energy Security Clarification Act This is truly, sincerely hilarious. But Europe deserved it. Russia will do just fine even without NS 2.
P.S. Always loved Coeur D'alene. Love Idaho in general. Vacationed there many times. Love this town and inhabitants are not bad either;)
That these were Russian agents who arranged conceiving, giving birth, bringing up and then inserting Derek Chauvin into the Minneapolis PD and arranging him effectively killing George Floyd, thus unleashing a mayhem in the US. Extraordinarily sophisticated operation. And once US cities exploded in rioting Russia started exploiting them to the fullest to undermine American Democracy. Same way as Russia undermined American Democracy in 2016 by electing Donald Trump POTUS. It must be true since Susan Rice, former National Security Adviser for Obama, says so.
OK, let's clear some things, Rice, whose role in unleashing Russiagate is yet to be determined by appropriate Law Enforcement agencies, wouldn't be able to have a clue, despite her position as National Security Advisor, because Rice is a typical product of US "elite-manufacturing" machine which in the last 30 years produced an outstanding array of swindlers, morons, creeps and ignoramuses. She is a typical American bureaucrat who grew out of US "diplomacy" school which is a laughing stock of the world and is a euphemism for incompetence and being pathological liars. Yes, this is how far this whole thing fell. So, considering her background, when she states that she is not "reading intelligence today" two things should be understood here, all that means is that she is not capable anymore to manipulate and fake "intelligence" as she did before, plus, she wouldn't know the difference any way because she has zero serious background in real intelligence or any other issues concerning US actual security. Enough to recall her lying which led to her withdrawing her candidacy for the position of the Secretary of the State.
But she is not alone, Scott Ritter had it today with this BS in his excellent piece in RT. How could this boy Rubio stay away from all this:
I entirely agree with Scott here. But as always I ask a question--where are competent people in this so called "elite"? There are none, no are there anymore courageous people with integrity. The nation which allowed itself to be mired for three years in one of the most stupefying, in its sheer cretinism, campaigns of smearing lawfully elected, however unsatisfying for some, OK, many, President based on "evidence" kindergarten kids would laugh at, why should we be surprised with the fact that none of those people have any answers to any problems. There are no people adequate to the challenge of addressing REAL problems anymore. Just these pathetic losers.
This is revolting, but this is America today. This is how the end for the country looks like. This is also how NOT TO solve issues of race in America. This is a direct path to undermining any possible, and now highly unlikely, fleeting dialogue on race, which was sabotaged for decades by the so called American "left", which is not really left but shills for neo-liberalism and perks which come with the territory of racial bating and pretending to fight for the "rights" of the minorities, while merely exploiting real problems for personal gain. After all, in this one we all see who and what are doing:
Trump had a good idea on designating Antifa a domestic terrorist group, which it is (and it is not antifascist movement) but considering a complete implosion of governing and US Main Stream Media being hugely, albeit not entirely, responsible for that, I think some of them are long overdue for being called what they are--propaganda outlets with no responsibility for their actions. Put the blood of innocent on them--that could be a good start. As for Chauvin, just throw the book at him. As per REAL class struggle and real economy:
And who would have thought. I think those people in the last video need to be immediately taught what broad equities baskets and portfolio investments are and how to code and that will address America's problems right away. /S.
In many respects America's fate, even despite an economic calamity of a gigantic scale, was contingent upon bringing justice to those who unleashed unprecedented, historically, witch-hunt and mass-psychosis campaign. Anyone with an average IQ and even fleeting acquaintance with principles on which law operates knew and know where and who all those Russia, Ukraine and other "Gates" originated from. Well, it doesn't matter, evidently.
Sad, but totally expected, to be honest. Barr, however, made some clarifications:
Barr did not rule out the possibility of others being criminally investigated, without offering specifics.
We'll see about that, which, I am a bit on a shaky ground here, since Barr's statement is not born out by the reality:
Barr added that the election should be decided strictly on policy
debates, and that any investigation of a political candidate would need
to be approved by him personally. "We cannot allow this process to be hijacked by efforts to drum up criminal investigations of either candidate," Barr said.
Well, sure, we all know that Biden sonny's, Hunter, tenure with Ukrainian Burisma had nothing to do, like really-really nothing, with the fact of his senile cretin-father being Ukraine's Gauleiter not only on Obama's orders (Obama always was an amateur in foreign relations, not that there are any professionals in them in D.C. nowadays, but still) but on his own volition, being also an architect of a bloody coup and war there, having blood of thousands of innocent people on his wandering hands. This is not to mention that this coward is now hiding from exposure for his sexual exploits and, once those 2020 "elections" begin to delve into, quoting Barr, "policy debate" (Good ol' Joe cannot, fvcking orient himself in space-time continuum, let alone have "policy debates") we all can be 100% sure that sexual history of Joe will hit the "printing presses" of partisan media. So much for the "policy debate". But, as we all know, the land of the "laws" doesn't really hold up that well under the closer scrutiny. Evidently prosecuting corruption (sedition and treason is also not biggy anymore, evidently) in the US nowadays is contingent merely on who holds and how much power and influence. As Larison reports:
Say it ain't so! Come on, we all know that Mike Pompeo... oh, wait:
If Linick was investigating the bogus emergency declaration, he would have come across reporting that showed how a former Raytheon lobbyist
serving at the department was instrumental in pushing through the plan
to expedite arms sales that benefited his old employer. He would have
discovered that there was no genuine emergency that justified going
around Congress. Once his investigation was concluded, it would have
found that the emergency declaration was made in bad faith and that the
law was abused so that the administration could proceed with arms sales
that Congress opposed. Another reason for the firing was to protect Mike Pompeo from an investigation into the Secretary’s abuses of government resources for personal purposes.
We all know that a person who openly states that he "lied, cheated and stole" for a living as CIA's big honcho, is being truthful. How can anyone doubt Pompeo's truthfulness? Reality of the American political discourse, however, is such that one cannot stop wondering if any normal, not damaged mentally, people are left in D.C. I am sure many people around the globe ask the same question. American political "elites" today represent a gruesome picture. All politics, everywhere is a dirty business, always was and often it did attract people with serious psychological, if not psychiatric, problems. There is an excellent work titledThe Psychological Assessment of Political Leaders: With Profiles of Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton. It is long and, at times, tedious read including delving into this proverbial psychobabble, but it is unequivocal in singling out narcissism as one of the main features of Western politicians. Lust for power and narcissism. It is in the foundation of the explanation to the phenomenon of American politics driven by non-stop lowbrow "election cycle" circus.
Once "look good" triumphs over all other considerations, the political class and its subservient media are doomed and so is the nation this political class pretends to lead. I am on record for years, that the only things US political class knows how to do is to "look good", unless they are caught in corruption or sexual scandal. And that is the problem--they are not caught often enough and this is everything one needs to know about present moment.
You have US political class to be that dumb? I think it is the latter. Of course, Adam Schiff is an idiot (he even looks like one) but to consider the fact that for almost 4 years all those American "intellectuals" (especially from MSM) bought this BS, oh boy. This is what happens when one mixes degree in good Scotch with degree in actual sciences. Boy...
And make no mistake, be it Lou Dobbs or whoever this "investigative" journo are--they are not the sharpest knives, so to speak--when even they begin to suspect something. It must be so fvcked up that one is forced to see this:
UPDATE: my-my-my. Tucker, they are all sociopaths, some ARE psychopaths and they run this country. They all lie--this is the only thing they can do, literally. Look at their faces--masks. And yes, GOP wanted this Russiagate too, because the United States is a single party system.
