Former Israeli Intel Official Claims Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell Worked for Israel

Since the apparent death by suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan prison, much has come to light about his depraved activities and methods used to sexually abuse underage girls and entrap the rich and powerful for the purposes of blackmail. Epstein's ties to intelligence, described in-depth in a recent MintPress investigative series, have continued to receive minimal mainstream media coverage, which has essentially moved on from the Epstein scandal despite the fact that his many co-conspirators remain on the loose.

For those who have examined Epstein's ties to intelligence, there are clear links to both U.S. intelligence and Israeli intelligence, leaving it somewhat open to debate as to which country's intelligence apparatus was closest to Epstein and most involved in his blackmail/sex-trafficking activities.

In a recent interview with Zev Shalev, former CBS News executive producer and award-winning investigative journalist for independent outlet Narativ, former senior executive for Israel's Directorate of Military Intelligence, Ari Ben-Menashe, claimed not only to have met Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, back in the 1980s, but that both Epstein and Maxwell were already working with Israeli intelligence during that time period - specifically, running a sexual blackmail enterprise as an Israeli intelligence operation for the purpose of entrapping powerful individuals and politicians in the United States and abroad.

The new impeachment show - brought to you by the folks at the CIA

Following the electoral fiasco of 2016, the DNC defended itself in court by arguing that it has no obligation to provide a fair and open primary. In fact, the DNC ran a disinformation campaign against Bernie Sanders, used Superdelegates to overturn primary results, miscounted and misplaced ballots in crucial state primaries and violated its own charter in the allocation of funds to the candidates. In other words, they stole the primary election.

Whatever one thinks of Donald Trump and impeachment, it is the political establishment that is trying to bring him down. That the 'whistleblower' is a CIA agent who has since returned to active duty at the agency isn't lost on Mr. Trump's supporters. As much as the NPR tote bag set believes that it is the fount of wisdom and truth, they, along with the CIA, inflicted three years of the cynical farce of Russiagate on us and came up empty handed.

The CIA was the central protagonist in Russiagate. The origins of the New Cold War are found in Bill Clinton's first term, when administration neo-cons looted, plundered and moved NATO against a prostrate Russia in contradiction to explicit guarantees not to do so made by the George H.W. Bush administration. Vladimir Putin's apparent crime was to oust the Clintonites from Russia and restore Russian sovereignty.

Comment: It would be more correct to say that the establishment/deep state/CIA is opposed to any viable foreign policy that prohibits their profoundly criminal enterprises from behaving unimpeded.

ICIG Michael Atkinson, top Mueller hoax operative, turned in the partisan CIA whistleblower complaint

The Deep State ICIG released a statement on Monday on why they found it necessary to change their rules LAST MONTH to include water cooler talk, rumors, hearsay and cafeteria conversations.

Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson turned in the partisan CIA operative's 'whistleblower' complaint to start the latest impeachment probe against President Donald Trump. Of course, the liberal mainstream media has ignored this crucial player in their latest impeachment quest. They don't want you to delve too deep into Michael Atkinson's background.

That is because Michael Atkinson played a major role in the Trump-Russia Mueller hoax.

Julie Kelly at American Greatness exposed Atkinson's controversial role in the just completed Trump-Russia hoax:

Comment: More from American Greatness, 30/9/3029 regarding ICIG Michael Atkinson:

Atkinson sent two letters about the "whistleblower" to the House Intelligence committee instead of its Senate counterpart. During his January 2018 public testimony to the Senate Intelligence committee prior to his confirmation, Atkinson said if there was a dispute with the Director of National Intelligence about the veracity of a claim, he would "talk to this Committee if that situation arose to that level, to keep you informed about those events."

But Atkinson instead notified the highly-partisan House Intelligence committee led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the same lawmaker who has lied to the American people for three years about evidence of Russian collusion. In a letter dated September 9 addressed to Schiff and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Atkinson alerted the committee that the acting Director of National Intelligence did not agree with Atkinson's judgment that the claim was an "urgent concern." (An assessment somewhat laughable now that the call's transcript is public.)

By the time that letter reached Schiff's office, however, the committee chairman already had made cryptic insinuations about the whistleblower. "Trump is withholding vital military aid to Ukraine, while his personal lawyer seeks help from the Ukraine government to investigate his political opponent," Schiff tweeted out of the blue on August 28, just two weeks after the "whistleblower" complaint was written. "It doesn't take a stable genius to see the magnitude of this conflict."

Subsequently, Atkinson sent another letter to Schiff and Nunes on September 17 which is best described as the IG tattling on the acting director for not responding the way Atkinson wanted him to respond.

Republicans should be raising several questions about Atkinson:

Was he aware of or in any way involved in the Justice Department's investigation into the Trump campaign?

Did he handle the FISA warrant against Carter Page?

Did he know about the FISA on Page prior to April 2017?

Did he meet with Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page or any of the collusion conspirators in 2016 or 2017?

Was he aware of or involved in McCord's dealings with the White House regarding Michael Flynn?

Why did he send letters to Democrat Adam Schiff and not Republican Senator Richard Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee?

Did Atkinson have any communications with Schiff prior to sending his September 7 letter?

Why was the form documenting an "urgent concern" apparently edited around the time of the latest complaint?

Democrats are poised to begin the impeachment process based on this latest controversy. It's time for Republicans to uncover as much information as possible, including whether this scandal is an extension of the collusion hoax and whether it involves some of the very same players.

Kiriakou: What was this CIA officer thinking?

Given Langley's intolerance for whistleblowing, the current case now in the headlines has a couple of curious features.

The news is dominated by "the whistleblower," the CIA officer who reported to the CIA Inspector General (IG) that President Donald Trump may have committed a crime during a conversation with the president of Ukraine. I've been fascinated by the story for a couple of reasons.

First, as a whistleblower and a former CIA officer, I know what must have been going through the guy's mind as he was coming to the decision to make a report on the president of the United States. That is, if he is a real whistleblower.

If he's a whistleblower, and not a CIA plant whose task it is to take down the president, then his career is probably over. Intelligence agencies only pay lip service to whistleblowing. A potential whistleblower is supposed to go through the chain of command as the current whistleblower did. If an employee has evidence of waste, fraud, abuse, illegality, or threats to the public health or public safety, he is supposed to go to the Inspector General. The IG, then is supposed to go to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). And when the DNI investigates and finds the complaint credible, he then takes it to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. That sounds straightforward, but it's not.

Impeachment probe: Schiff refuses equal participation by Republicans in Kurt Volker testimony

Ex-Special Envoy Ukraine Kurt Volker • HPSCI Chair Adam Schiff • HFA Chair Eliot Engel • Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX)

After learning today that the Democrat-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) will not allow Foreign Affairs Committee Republicans to have equal representation or the opportunity to question Kurt Volker at tomorrow's scheduled interview, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX), Lead Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, demanded HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) allow Republicans and Democrats to participate on an equal playing field in their impeachment probe.

Furthermore, Lead Republican McCaul expressed concern to Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) that the Foreign Affairs Committee's oversight role over the State Department and the conduct of U.S. foreign policy has been usurped by another committee without jurisdiction. McCaul reinforced that "impeaching the President of the United States is a grave and serious matter for the American people," and he expects the Democrats to lead their investigation in a fair, impartial manner.

Democrat staff on HPSCI informed the Foreign Affairs Committee that only one Republican staff member would be allowed to attend the transcribed interview of Kurt Volker, the former State Department Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations, and would not be allowed to participate in questioning. However, under House Rule X, "Relations of the United States with foreign nations" is the jurisdiction of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin addresses the opening session of the 22nd Knesset, the Israeli parliament, in Jerusalem October 3, 2019.

In an address to Israeli MPs earlier this day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pointed to the necessity of forming a "broad national unity government" as soon as possible, saying that no other country is challenged "as much as we are."

Speaking to lawmakers during the swearing-in ceremony of the 22nd Knesset on Thursday, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin specifically underscored that there are moments in which he is obliged to meddle so as to put the country's political system back on track.

He specifically referred to the results of last month's election in Israel, confirming his drive to see a unity government lead the country. Rivlin emphasised:

"The results of this election are a badge of honor for Israeli society. It is a red card that the citizens of Israel showed to their elected officials. It is a red card to populism, to a political style that feeds off the schisms [in our society] and sees in all of our fears a resource to mine."

He recalled that his call for a broad government caused criticism "from both the right and the left" and that he is "attuned to this legitimate criticism" which Rivlin said is "in many ways justified."

Moscow is helping create Beijing's missile-attack warning system that only Russia and US have

The stationary Don-2-N multirole early-warning radar in the town of Sofrino in the Moscow Region helps protect Moscow from ballistic missile strikes.

A missile-attack warning system that Moscow is helping Beijing put together will drastically increase China's defense capabilities, President Vladimir Putin said, noting that only Russia and the US currently have such technology.

"I don't think I'll open a huge secret here. It'll become clear anyway. We're now helping our Chinese partners to create a missile-attack warning system," Putin told the high-profile guests of the 16th meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club at the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Thursday.

The President reminded attendees that Russia and the US are the only two countries in the world currently armed with such systems. "It's a very serious thing that will drastically increase the defensive capabilities of China."

The missile attack warning system combines ground-based radars and satellite arrays in Earth's orbit, which detect the launch of ballistic missiles and calculate their trajectory. The data is then transmitted to a command center where a decision on how to repel the attack and respond to it can be made.

EU Parliament rips apart Brexit proposals as 'Not a basis for agreement'; BoJo scrambles to secure deal

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 16:10 UTC

Britain's plans for leaving the EU cannot even serve as a rough outline for a final agreement, a group of MEPs have stated. Boris Johnson has been rushing to strike a deal ahead of the October 31 deadline for leaving the bloc.

The European Parliament's Brexit Steering Group (BSG) met with the European Commission's Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, to discuss the latest offers being floated by London.

The committee was apparently less than impressed, writing in a draft statement that the proposals "do not represent a basis for an agreement to which the Parliament could give consent by the end of the month."

'New phase' North Korea lauds successful test of submarine-launched missile

RT
Wed, 02 Oct 2019 22:22 UTC

North Korean state media have confirmed the widely reported mysterious missile test as involving a submarine-based ballistic missile, greatly expanding Pyongyang's capabilities ahead of disarmament talks with the US.

"The successful new-type SLBM test-firing comes to be of great significance as it ushered in a new phase in containing the outside forces' threat to the DPRK and further bolstering its military muscle for self-defense," the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) announced on Thursday.

The missile, launched early on Wednesday local time, was identified by military experts as the Pukgukseong-3 SLBM.

It was the first missile launch since the test of two unidentified projectiles on September 10, and the 11th missile launch since May, when North Korea resumed testing after the failure of talks with the US in Vietnam.

'Shoot and cry': New book says Israelis were 'saddened' to have to kill Gaza protesters, to avert 'bloodbath'

Have you watched reports on the Chinese government's attacks on protesters in Hong Kong? American media are outraged, and the shooting of a young man two days ago was national news here. The fact that the protesters hurl bricks is treated in the reports I've watched as just another form of protest.

Contrast those stories to the often-sympathetic coverage that Israel has gotten while killing nearly 200 protesters at the Gaza fence over the last year and a half, and maiming hundreds of others. The New York Times has run four columnists justifying the killings.

Comment: Gordis is the latest in a long line of apologists for the slaughter Israel is perpetrating in Palestine:
