Shortly after my colleague Sara Carter and I began reporting in 2017 on the possibility that the FBI was abusing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Americans during the Russia investigation, I received a call. It was an intermediary for someone high up in the intelligence community.

The story that source told me that day โ€” initially I feared it may have been too spectacular to be true โ€” was that FBI line agents had actually cleared former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn of any wrongdoing with Russia only to have the bureau's leadership hijack the process to build a case that he lied during a subsequent interview.

In fact, my notes show, the source used the words "concoct a 1001 false statements case" to describe the objections of career agents who did not believe Flynn had intended to deceive the FBI. A leak of a transcript of Flynn's call with the Russian ambassador was just part of a campaign, the source alleged.

John Podesta admits in testimony that DNC and Hillary campaign split cost for phony Trump-Russia 'dossier'

Hillary Clinton and the DNC both claimed they knew nothing about the Trump-Russia dossier when it was published by Buzzfeed in January 2017.

The New York Times โ€” famous for their fake news โ€” reported that Hillary and the DNC were unaware that their law firm Perkins Coie was working on the dossier.
Officials from the Clinton campaign and the D.N.C. have said they were unaware that Perkins Coie facilitated the research on their behalf, even though the law firm was using their money to pay for it. Even Mrs. Clinton only found about Mr. Steele's research after Buzzfeed published the dossier, according to two associates who discussed the matter with her.
But that was all another Hillary Clinton lie.

Comment: Though 2017 was oh, so long ago, it's worth reviewing some of the shenanigans going on at the time, and how important Wikileaks was to how events developed.

Fatou Bensouda, Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has, once and for all, settled the doubts on the Court's jurisdiction to investigate war crimes committed in occupied Palestine.

On April 30, Bensouda released a 60-page document diligently laying down the legal bases for that decision, concluding that "the Prosecution has carefully considered the observations of the participants, and remains of the view that the Court has jurisdiction over the Occupied Palestinian Territory."

Bensouda's legal explanation was itself a preemptive decision, dating back to December 2019, as the ICC Prosecutor must have anticipated an Israeli-orchestrated pushback against the investigation of war crimes committed in the Occupied Territories.

FBI memo exonerating Flynn proves need to investigate Comey's corrupt 'confidential human sources': Start with Halper

Recently released documents confirm that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) framed Michael Flynn and that the special counsel's office (and later federal prosecutors) improperly withheld material exculpatory evidence from Flynn's defense attorneys. However, two lesser-noticed realities also came into focus with last week's unsealing of the FBI's closing memorandum on the Flynn investigation: The FBI had no proper predication for launching its investigation into Flynn, and the confidential human source ("CHS") debriefed as part of the Flynn probe should be thoroughly investigated for making false statements to the FBI.

Last week, Flynn's attorney, Sidney Powell, filed a second supplement to the still-pending motion to dismiss the criminal case against the former Trump national security adviser. More than two years ago, while being represented by attorneys from Covington & Burling, Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

Since Powell took over Flynn's representation, she has been demanding complete disclosure of all documentation surrounding the investigation into Flynn, but to no avail โ€” that is, until Attorney General William Barr appointed an outside U.S. attorney to review the Flynn investigation.

Comment: Halper, long associated with spooks on both sides of the Atlantic, is one of the slimier snakes in the snakepit . With Flynn's stated goal of cleaning up the NSA, it's not hard to make the leap that Halper was tapped by his intell friends to help take Flynn and by extension, Trump down.

Syria spinmeisters fumble attempts to change narrative and manage OPCW leaks on facts of Douma chemical attack

It's been over 72 hours since The Grayzone published new leaks further exposing how the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been lying about its investigation into an alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria two years ago.

These new documents make it abundantly clear that OPCW leadership were just plain lying when they claimed that a ballistics expert named Ian Henderson was not a part of the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) in Douma and played only a "minor supporting role" there. Henderson disagrees with the organisation's official findings implicating the Syrian government in a chlorine gas attack, finding instead that the gas cylinders on the scene were "manually placed", indicating that the crime scene was staged and the dozens of civilians killed were the victims of a still-unsolved mass murder.

The silence on these revelations from the OPCW and its usual narrative managers has been deafening.

Brennan lashes out as Trump warns more documents exposing spygate cabal will be coming out soon

Former CIA Director and Spygate ringleader John Brennan lashed out at President Trump on Saturday after the DOJ dropped its case against Flynn.

The Justice Department dropped its case against General Mike Flynn Thursday after bombshell documents released proved he was framed by Comey's FBI.

The DOJ said in its motion to dismiss that "The interview of Mr. Flynn was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn."


Comment: The Flynn case dismissal was a huge development in itself:

During an interview on Fox & Friends Friday morning, co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Trump, "Why did it take a judge to release these [Flynn] documents and where was the FBI Director Chris Wray? Why did he not put this out?"

Comment: We are really seeing a "with my last breath I spit at thee" moment as the truth begins to enfold around deeply corrupt former CIA Director John Brennan - and his leading of the egregiously political and deceptive Russiagate hoax designed to destroy Trump. May Brennan get the justice he deserves.

The US has blocked a vote on a UN security council resolution calling for a global ceasefire during the Covid-19 pandemic, because the Trump administration objected to an indirect reference to the World Health Organization.

The security council has been wrangling for more than six weeks over the resolution, which was intended to demonstrate global support for the call for a ceasefire by the UN secretary general, Antรณnio Guterres. The main source for the delay was the US refusal to endorse a resolution that urged support for the WHO's operations during the coronavirus pandemic.

Donald Trump has blamed the WHO for the pandemic, claiming (without any supporting evidence) that it withheld information in the early days of the outbreak.

Best of the Web: Trump says Coronavirus will 'GO AWAY WITHOUT A VACCINE' - Outrages big-pharma vaccine producers, implies Covid tests unnecessary

Just hours ago, Friday May 8th 2020, U.S President Donald Trump once again pushed against the Bill Gates financed pandemic expert community and big-pharma vaccine producers, and announced that the novel coronavirus which causes covid-19, would 'go away without a vaccine'.

In answering a question from a journalist, Trump responded 'Well I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests, this is gonna go away without a vaccine' - inferring perhaps that he felt that the covid-19 tests were also unnecessary.


Comment: Common sense prevails in Washington. A little bit. But it's too little too late because the lockdown hysteria has already taken a great toll on the psychological and economic health of many Americans. And now that many authoritarian leaders at the State level have gotten a better taste of pathological power, this is causing - in many areas across the US - a great dissatisfaction with those who are exercising a sick and sickening control over their lives.

Tara Reade, Feminists, and the Devil's Bargain

Sexual liberation offered women the promise of freedom. The pill and abortion supposedly leveled the playing fields in our personal and professional lives. Likewise freed from prevailing gender roles, many women pursued college degrees and careers that had previously been culturally and physically off-limits.

Yet the coveted ground of gender equality seemed littered with mines planted by those who held power and those who sought it. Powerful men were all too willing to exploit the women working for them. These women were betrayed not only by men, but by the most prominent voices within the "sisterhood" of the feminist movement. Women are particularly vulnerable to exploitation when they drop their guard based on professed shared ideology.

Movements such as the #MeToo and #TimesUp coalitions are now part of the institutional feminist movement and are challenged by women like Tara Reade, just as they were challenged by Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey in the 1990s. These women were or currently are supporters of Democratic politicians. Reade finds she must either sell herself in service to the feminist/progressive movement or loudly call attention to that movement's hypocrisy on her way out.

Buried by the MSM: Mike Flynn ran interference for Israel

The latest outrage from the Trump White House is that the Justice Department dropped its case against former national security adviser Mike Flynn for lying to the FBI, even though Flynn pleaded guilty to the charges in 2017.

In its coverage of the exoneration, the New York Times notes that Flynn had pleaded guilty to lying about a discussion with the Russian ambassador in December 2016 during the transition between the Obama and Trump administrations. Flynn asked Russia not to overreact to sanctions the Obama administration had placed on Russia for interfering in the election; Trump would be in the White House in another three weeks.

Hmmm. The Times does not mention the other alleged lie โ€” which involves Israel. A week before the sanctions call, Flynn called the Russian ambassador, and a "litany" of other countries, to try to get them to counter the U.S. decision to allow a resolution highly critical of Israeli settlements to pass in the U.N. Security Council. That resolution went through 14-0 with the U.S. abstaining โ€” Obama's parting shot at Netanyahu.

Comment: The Trump administration's support for Israel is criminal, but given it was well-known going into the election, the fact that Flynn was promoting it to other countries in his capacity as a White House official, makes calling it violation of the Logan Act risible. That being said, it is also a fact that Israel holds an unconsciounable sway over U.S. foreign policy.
