Former Italian PM linked to Trump spying and Obama is also a cohort of the Clintons and George Soros

soros and clinton
They are all connected. The Deep State, Obama, the Clintons, the Clinton Global Initiative, Italy's former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Italy's spies involved in the Russia Hoax, George Soros, etc.

Earlier this month Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

It was reported that former President Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together in an effort to frame current President Trump utilizing Italian assets. Obama met with Renzi in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017.

The plan was to insert classified Hillary emails on servers of an Italian owned company in the US linked to the Republican Party. The plan was foiled but the implications were significant. It was like a policeman planting evidence to fabricate a crime. It also was concerning if Italian Intelligence actually had classified e-mails from Hillary Clinton.

Austria's Kurz plans to strip Freedom Party coalition partner of spy agency oversight


Comment: This is undoubtedly connected with the recent revelations from a two-year-old 'sting operation' that knocked out the Freedom Party (FPÖ) in Austria, and toppled its coalition government in the process...


Decision comes after Christchurch shooter was found to have donated money to the Austrian far right
kickl strache kurz
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz wants Austria's intelligence services to report directly to him amid concerns over the far right's influence in the country, local media reported Tuesday.

The move would deprive the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), Kurz's coalition partner in government, of its exclusive oversight of the country's spy agencies.

Until now, Austria's interior and defense ministries, both headed by the FPÖ, preside over the country's various intelligence services.

The two ministries will continue to receive information from the agencies, however. FPÖ leader and Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache will also be looped in.

Strache indicated he did not oppose the change in principle, but warned that the matter is "sensitive" and should not be rushed.

Comment: So, to sum up: sh*tstain spooks who rule Europe from the shadows cashed in some of their blackmail currency on Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache to knock the FPÖ out of Austria's government (collapsing the whole government in the process). They did this because they detest that party's positive relations with the Russian government, or its openness to conservatism/'wokeness' to the multi-culti agenda. Or both.

Chancellor Kurz may have been party to the plan, or may simply have capitalized on it, but either way he got pulled down by the FPÖ as it fell from the top floor. Meanwhile, nothing has changed for the Austrian electorate, who, at the recent EU elections, voted for Kurz's and Strache's parties in the same ratio they did in the 2017 Austrian election.

So they could both be back together in coalition again this Fall - deep state schemes be damned!

Washington is gearing up to roll out economic aspects of its long-awaited plan for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians at a conference in Bahrain

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday, June 5, slammed a US Middle East peace plan as a "great betrayal of the Islamic world," and warned Gulf rivals not to back it.

Washington is gearing up to roll out economic aspects of its long-awaited plan for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians - dubbed the "deal of the century" - at a conference in Bahrain later this month.

"The aim of this conference is to realize America's traitorous, dastardly plan on Palestine which they have named the 'deal of the century'," Khamenei said in a live television address at prayers for the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

US special envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker is throwing European allies under the bus to cover up his support for the losing candidate in the recent election and gain influence with the new president, a political analyst tells RT.

At a recent meeting of the Carnegie Foundation in Washington, DC, Volker said that President Volodymyr Zelensky's campaign was "disappointed" with European support for the incumbent Petro Poroshenko, who in turn complained about not receiving enough support from the US.

"Volker's attempts to deny his own active public support for Poroshenko during the election campaign look strange and duplicitous," director of the Center for Political Studies Alexey Chesnakov told RT. "It is enough just to compare the number of meetings of the US diplomat with Poroshenko over the past year, and the content of his statements on their results, to draw the appropriate conclusions."

Trump backtracks on NHS being part of post-Brexit trade deal with US after outrage

Having enraged the British public and politicians by implying that Britain's National Health Service (NHS) might be on the table in the post-Brexit trade talks with the US, US President Donald Trump has made an about-face.

In an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, Trump has seemingly walked back his 'threat' to include the NHS in the trade deal to be struck between the US and the UK, after London finalizes its very long divorce from the EU.

"I don't see it being on the table. That's something I would not consider part of trade. That's not trade," Trump says in the teaser for the interview, to be aired Wednesday morning.

For much of Tuesday, however, there has been uproar over Trump's offhand remark about the NHS being up for grabs. Speaking at a joint press conference with outgoing PM Theresa May in London, the US leader did not rule out that the arguably most cherished UK public service will be rattled during the post-Brexit trade negotiations.

House of cards? Venezuela's would-be president Guaido 'tours country with astrologer'

Venezuela's presidential pretender Juan Guaido reportedly travels with an astrologer while attempting to drum up support to overthrow sitting President Nicolas Maduro.

In a New Yorker piece on Guaido, writer Jon Lee Anderson details an encounter he had with a man named Davíd who described himself as "the president's astrologer". Anderson was granted special access to the Venezuelan upstart and Davíd accompanied them as they toured the Venezuelan state of Vargas in March.


Comment: Sounds like the perfect job for a CIA handler to assume.


During their interactions, Davíd decried pro-Maduro paramilitary groups as "the incarnation of evil" and "representatives of the Devil on Earth." He also claimed that Guaido is a descendent of a sixteenth-century chieftain who battled the Spanish and that Maduro's advisers practiced Santería "dark arts."

The astrologer did have some good news for US President Donald Trump though. He told Anderson that he has "read the cards" and Trump is likely to be reelected in 2020, but it depends on Venezuela "becoming free."

Moscow: US Navy plane headed towards Russia's Syrian naval base, no 'irresponsible' intercept

A US patrol plane twice approached a Russian military facility in Syria, prompting an Su-35 fighter to ward off the American aircraft, Russia's defense ministry says. The US Navy accuses Moscow of an 'irresponsible' interception.

The Su-35 warplane took off from the Khmeimim base in Syria on Tuesday, as radars spotted an aerial target which was moving towards the Russian naval facility in Tartus, the Russian military said.

The fighter jet crew identified the approaching target as a US Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The responding Su-35 was maneuvering at a safe distance and returned to the airbase as soon as the American plane changed its direction, according to the statement. The US patrol aircraft, however, returned to the location of the encounter three hours later and was again warded off by the Su-35 fighter.

Comment: At some point these encounters in the sky are going to turn bad. Perhaps that is what the Americans want?

Mossad propagandists crafted Bibi's 'Iran lied' speech for maximum impact - right down to the podium

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a speech on Iran's nuclear program at the defence ministry in Tel Aviv on April 30, 2018
In April 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference in which he claimed that Israeli intelligence had managed to infiltrate a secret Tehran archive and stole tens of thousands of documents revealing how Iran had lied to the world about its commitments to the nuclear deal.

Israeli intelligence and staff from the prime minister's office spent two months holding an 'intense internal debate' about how exactly Tel Aviv should move forward with presenting its evidence about Iran's alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons. This became Netanyahu's 30 April 2018 speech, the Prime Minister's Office head of public relations Yarden Vatikai has revealed, The Jerusalem Post reports.

Speaking at the Israeli Intelligence Heritage Centre in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, Vatikai explained that staffers went through literally dozens of versions of Netanyahu's speech in an effort "to achieve the largest impact" on policy and global public opinion.

Even the smallest details, like Netanyahu's skinny, transparent podium, were selected specifically, according to the official.

Comment: Netanyahu has been bleating about Iran's non-existant nuclear weapons program for nearly a decade, starting with his Wiley Coyote bomb diagram at an embarrassing UN speech in 2012.This is just the latest round. Unfortunately, it found its one intended mark in President Trump

Russia and China took another step away from the US dollar after the two countries agreed to develop bilateral trade using the ruble and the yuan.

It was just one of the major deals reached after the presidents of the two countries, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, held talks in Moscow on Wednesday.

"Russia and China intend to develop the practice of settlements in national currencies," Putin told journalists at the news conference following the talks. He added that the states have signed intergovernmental agreements on expanding the use of the yuan and the ruble in bilateral financial operations.

A draft government decree on the national currencies trade was released earlier during the day. The document stipulates that Moscow and Beijing will cooperate on development of national payment systems, as well as facilitate cross-border payments in national and other currencies.

Roger Stone arrives for a news conference in Washington, D.C., January 31, 2019.
Roger Stone is requesting proof that the Russians hacked the DNC server, as was reported in the Mueller report. He claims if the Russians didn't hack the DNC, his case should be dismissed.

An IT expert and NSA whistle blower who looked at the data online can confirm that the DNC data leaked by WikiLeaks was definitively not hacked, it was copied to a disk or flash drive.

We reported on May 11, 2019, that Roger Stone and his legal team are requesting the report from Crowdstrike, the firm connected with the Deep State who reportedly did inspect the DNC server after emails were released by WikiLeaks.
