The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:


Recommended Posts

Those criminals sure hate journalists. They hate the media they do they do. Those criminals all say its fake news, don't believe what you read

 

A blogger whose posts often attracted more readers than the combined circulation of the country’s newspapers, Caruana Galizia was recently described by the Politico website as a “one-woman WikiLeaks”. Her blogs were a thorn in the side of both the establishment and underworld figures that hold sway in Europe’s smallest member state.

You couldn't sell a script like this at a pitch meeting.

 

Seeing as you posted the link in this thread, are you suggesting our deep state had something to do with her murder?

 

I can't be 100% sure, obviously, but there's strong evidence for it. She was a key whistleblower for the Panama Papers dump. She was killed to send a message because there are a bunch of drops about to hit.

WALL STREET JOURNAL: Liberals Embrace ‘Dark Money:’ Fusion GPS rolls out a novel excuse to block a House subpoena.

 

 

Remember when Democrats and the press corps complained about “dark money” and wanted to rewrite the First Amendment to ban certain campaign contributions? Well, well. Now the progressive operatives at Fusion GPS are invoking free-speech rights to block the House Intelligence Committee’s probe of the infamous Steele dossier.

 

Fusion GPS is the opposition research firm behind the Steele dossier claiming that Donald Trump colluded with Russians to win the 2016 election. Congress is investigating Russian influence, and former British spook Christopher Steele relied on Russian sources. The dossier is clearly of interest, perhaps even a Rosetta Stone in the probe.

 

Yet Fusion chief Glenn Simpson won’t cooperate, and on Monday the company’s lawyers sent a letter to the House Intelligence Committee refusing to comply with subpoenas for documents and testimony related to the dossier. The letter claims the subpoenas “violate the First Amendment rights of our clients and their clients, and would chill any American running for office . . . from conducting confidential opposition research in an election.”

 

Hello? Mr. Simpson must be having a good laugh at that one. Surely he knows that his many Democratic clients have spent most of the last decade moaning about “dark money” donations in politics. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders proposed rewriting the First Amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling so government could regulate political speech. Fusion must also not have read the avalanche of press releases from Democrats like Chuck Schumer demanding disclosure of all political donations.

 

Citizens United protected the broadcast of a movie opposing Hillary Clinton—obvious political speech. But the House wants to know who paid Fusion to dig up dirt on Mr. Trump and whether any of that money or intelligence came from foreign sources. The First Amendment doesn’t protect attempts by foreign governments or agents to influence U.S. elections.

 

Foreign campaign contributions are banned under U.S. law, and in the 1990s Congress conducted extensive investigations into Chinese and other donations to the Clinton campaign. No one claimed the Riady family’s donations were protected political speech because they financed Bill Clinton’s re-election.

 

Fusion by its own admission has worked in the past on a lobby campaign for a Russian company with ties to the Kremlin. Investigators want to know if those clients or other foreign actors had anything to do with the commissioning or production of the Steele dossier.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s as if all the talk of Trump/Russia collusion, which has so far turned out to be vaporware, was just a smokescreen to cover the real collusion.

Yup.

 

What we are going to learn (I think) at the end of this is that it's not really DNC v GOP, it's the Deep State/Shadow Government v every American citizen.

So your argument is that American institutions are just rotten and corrupt to the core, right?

Progressives? I get that they want to know if foreigners paid for the Piss Dossier but not revealing sources is protected. And didn't the GOP start this investigation into Putin puppet Trump?

Regarding the funding for FusionGPS dossier, it ain't just dems who don't like the idiot in chief.

There are ongoing parallel libel suits filed in US and UK courts regarding the matter of the dossier which have revealed additional details. The UK case has revealed that at least $1 million of the funding for the Fusion GPS investigation carried out by Mr Steele came from a wealthy Republican donor and the rest likely came from Democrats "who wanted to dig up dirt" on Mr Trump, according to ABC News.

 

 

This is old news, btw.

Talk about politicizing the CIA

 

 

His comment suggested — falsely — that a report released by U.S. intelligence agencies in January had ruled out any impact that could be attributed to a covert Russian interference campaign that involved leaks of tens of thousands of stolen emails, the flooding of social media sites with false claims and the purchase of ads on Facebook.

A report compiled by the CIA and other agencies described that Russian operation as unprecedented in its scale and concluded that Moscow’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process and help elect Donald Trump.

But the report reached no conclusions about whether that interference had altered the outcome— an issue that U.S. intelligence officials made clear was considered beyond the scope of their inquiry.

$21 Trillion Missing – U.S. Government a Criminal Enterprise – Catherine Austin Fitts

 

The new report was put together by Dr. Mark Skidmore at Michigan State University, and it is a detailed year-by-year study of DOD and HUD budgets between 1998 and 2015. The missing money is called “undocumentable adjustments,” but that may just be a polite name for theft, fraud and crime against “We the People.” Fitts contends, “Here’s the critical issue because technology is leading us through tremendous change, and the people who get their hands on this technology and are able to subsidize the cost of capital are the ones that are going to win. They have done that by basically hijacking the federal credit and using it to help centralize power under them.
