Russiagate turns on its creators

Russiagate
Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office.

As the presstitutes are aligned with the military/security complex, Hillary and the DNC, and the liberal/progressive/left, the Russiagate orchestration is a powerful conspiracy against the president of the United States and the "deplorables" who elected him. Nevertheless, the Russiagate Conspiracy has fallen apart and has now been turned against its originators.

Despite the determination of the CIA and FBI to get Trump, these powerful and unaccountable police state agencies have been unable to present any evidence of the Trump/Putin conspiracy against Hillary. As William Binney, the former high level National Security Agency official who devised the spy program has stated, if there was any evidence of a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the US presidential election, the NSA would most certainly have it.

With friends like these: Saudis demand US court reject lawsuit showing they funded 9/11

New York, NY - Last year, for the first time since that fateful September morning 16 years ago, families of victims of the 9/11 terror attacks used a new law to go after Saudi Arabia in lawsuits for their role in the attacks. After evidence was revealed during the lawsuit showing the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington may have funded a "dry run" for the hijackings carried out by two Saudi employees, Saudi Arabia went into panic mode. They are now attempting to use their pull inside the United States to have the lawsuits thrown out.

"The 9/11 victims' families and survivors have submitted dozens of declassified FBI reports and affidavits regarding Saudi involvement in the attacks so it shouldn't surprise anyone that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its high-priced lawyers are still trying to hide behind baseless procedural arguments," said Terry Strada, national chair for the 9/11 Families and Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism.

Naturally, lawyers for Saudi Arabia are denying all allegations and are demanding that the lawsuit be dismissed immediately. According to the Saudi newspaper Okaz, as cited by the Middle East Monitor, the government of Saudi Arabia has called on a US federal judge to immediately reject the lawsuit.

Comment: Yes, Saudi Arabia had a hand in the matter, but it was not the only state involved - not even the main one. For a detailed analysis of the 9/11 attacks, read the book:

Russia has demanded that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) take concrete steps to ensure press freedom in Latvia, after the Baltic state deported a Russian documentary maker without explanation.

"We hope you will immediately take measures within your mandate to change this approach of Latvia authorities towards Russian journalists. Declarations are not enough, actions are highly needed," tweeted the Russian foreign ministry Friday night, in response to an OSCE statement published earlier.

Comment: Sounds like the journalist's chosen topic of her documentary didn't sit well with the Latvian authorities.

Author Michael Wolff might have opened himself to lawsuits for inaccuracies in book about Trump

donald trump tweet white house background
Michael Wolff's book, Fire And Fury: Inside The Trump White House, has a note in the prologue that an attorney says could open him up to a deluge of lawsuits. The book has already come under siege by the Trump White House for being wildly inaccurate. No shocker on that response, but multiple media figures have voiced their concern over the accuracy of the book as well, with New York Times reporters and CNN hosts saying that Wolff gets basic facts wrong in his book, and that this work really isn't journalism. Former Obama adviser Steve Rattner called Wolff a "total sleaze bag" and an "unprincipled writer of fiction." Regardless, Wolff stands by his book, despite all the errors that have been pointed out, like reporters who have admitted to never being at certain meetings to getting the jobs of some of members of the president's cabinet dead wrong. Case in point, Wolff has Wilbur Ross as the labor secretary, he's actually the commerce secretary.

Comment: That's what happens when you write a book based on gossip, and then pretend it is journalism. Of course, much of that gossip is probably true, but a whole lot more is likely to be either exaggerations or lies. See also:

Hillary's campaign manager admits Russia narrative 'is not a winning message'

It's officially 2018, which means the midterm elections are right around the corner. When a successful Republican tax reform package kicks in next month, Democrats will have to reach even deeper to find a winning argument for November.

In 2017, Russia was used as a political hammer by Democrats against President Trump and Republicans closely associated with him. As the Special Counsel investigation drags on, with multiple investigations on Capitol Hill failing to turn up evidence of collusion, it's still being used as a talking point against the White House.

But according to former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, using the Russia narrative to win elections and take back red seats just isn't going to cut it.

Comment: It is also not a winning message because it is based on fabrications and lies. You can decieve a lot of people for a short time, or a few people for a long time, but not a lot of people for a long time.

Icky Nikki Haley's diplomacy of revenge: She's now targeting UN relief agency that assists Palestinians

The United States threatens to pull the plug on hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to the Palestinians.

Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, started her diplomatic career as a champion for Palestinian refugees, visiting refugee camps and assuring her U.N. colleagues that she would protect the nearly $300 million in U.S. funding each year that provides schooling for half a million Palestinian children.

Today, she is championing the White House drive to sever the Palestinians most vital economic lifeline unless they participate in U.S.-mediated peace talks. The reversal reflects White House resentment over the Palestinians' decision to put forward resolutions before the U.N. Security Council and General Assembly denouncing President Donald Trump for his Dec. 6 decision to move the U.S. Embassy to the disputed capital of Jerusalem.

Will Washington succeed with its Iran narrative?

In 1953 Washington and Britain overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a dictator to rule Iran for the benefit of Washington and the British. In declassified documents, the CIA has admitted its role in overthrowing the Iranian government. The overthrow pattern is always the same. Washington hires protesters, then introduces violence, controls the explanation, and unseats the government.

Ever since the Iranian Revolution that overthrew the Washington-installed dictator in 1979, Washington has been trying to regain control of Iran. In 2009 Washington financed the "Green Revolution," which was an attempt to overthrow the Ahmadinejad government.

Today Washington is again at work against the Iranian people. It is difficult to believe that any Iranian, after watching what Washington-organized protests have done to Hondurus, Libya, Ukraine, and Syria, have attempted to do to Iran in 2009, and is attempting to do today to Venezuela, could possibly in good faith go out into the streets against their own government. Are these Iranian protesters utterly stupid or are they hired to commit treason against their country.

Best of the Web: 'Fire and Fury': A soon to be forgotten sensationalist nothing-burger

fire and fury
The furore over the last week about Michael Wolff's book about the first months of the Trump administration might mislead some people into thinking that something important actually happened.

This could not be more wrong. Wolff's book - which has now appeared on the internet in electronic format- is not even a punctuation mark in the history of the Trump Presidency. It is a blank space which will be forgotten in a few weeks.

The book tells us precisely nothing of any value about the Trump Presidency save for one thing, which has not been reported anywhere that I know of because it is so completely contrary to what so many people have been saying about Donald Trump and his rise to the Presidency for so long.

This is that the book shows that the allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians which are the subject of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's inquiry must be untrue and that no one in the White House takes them seriously.

Iranian govt says social media ban to be reversed soon, calls for amnesty for arrested protesters

Iranian government officials have called for clemency for those arrested over the wave of protests that gripped the country for over a week, and said the ban of social media used by the protesters should be soon reversed.

The mass protests, which erupted in Iran on December 28, seem to be subsiding. According to Iranian officials, 22 people were killed and 1,000 were arrested during the wave of public anger, which was the biggest since the 2009 protest over the results of a presidential election. One person has reportedly died in police custody, with officials reporting it as an apparent suicide.

President Hassan Rouhani reiterated on Monday that people should have the right to criticize the government, but warned that such public movements can be hijacked by enemies of Iran.

"A gathering and protest may be exploited by certain sides. This is natural and happens all over the world," he said as cited by Iran's Press TV. He singled out the US for the efforts of President Donald Trump's administration to fan up the protests in Iran, noting that Washington failed to do so. The UN Security Council meeting called by the US to discuss the protests in Iran "destroyed US reputation" he said.

Comment: All well played by the Iranian authorities. If terrorist groups had been involved in stoking the levels of violence seen in these protests in the USA, you can be the police would shoot to kill, as they do currently even in situations where suspects are unarmed. Even if the amnesty lets some bad hombres back on the streets, it's still a good PR move. Iran is not a totalitarian society, despite what the neocons want people to believe. Now we'll just have to see if the U.S. uses the protests as an excuse to hit Iran (and the Iranian people they profess to care so much about) with more sanctions.
