Yes. I am going to toot my own horn. I am very happy that Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag are publishing a multi-part story on Substack detailing what the Deep State did to spy on Donald Trump, starting in the summer of 2015 and continuing through his Presidency. Here are the two pieces published so far.
CIA “Cooked The Intelligence” To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump, In 2016, Sources Say
WMD, Part II: CIA “Cooked The Intelligence” To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016
Matt, Michael and Alex are doing a great service by hammering on this issue. But it was not confined to Donald Trump, at least not initially. In the summer of 2015, U.S. intelligence was being used to collect on all major candidates, including Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and even Bernie Sanders. It was only when it became clear that Trump was going to be the nominee that the CIA formed a Task Force and concentrated on Trump. This effort included direct coordination with British intelligence — MI6 to be precise — and was coordinated in London by the CIA Chief of Station, Gina Haspel. I look forward to the rest of PUBLIC’s reporting on this issue.
So why am I tooting my own horn? I first wrote about this in 2017. That is seven years ago. What follows is the piece I published on Sonar21.com and The Gateway Pundit in February 2022, two weeks before the start of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. My, how time flies.
I am re-posting the February 2022 piece for folks who may not have seen it two years ago. Enjoy.
BEGIN FEBRUARY 2022 POST:
The recent Durham revelations that people working for Hillary Clinton spied on Donald Trump, his campaign and his administration is only part of the story. It is a very important part but should not obscure the role that foreign intelligence, the Brits in particular, reportedly played in trying to dig up dirt on Donald Trump.
In March 2017 I appeared on RT (i.e., Russia Today) to comment on Donald Trump’s now proven claim that he and his campaign had been spied on. Here is what I said on Sunday, March 5, 2017:
Pay close attention. After I gave this interview there was ZERO reaction/response from the media in the United States. They ignored it. It did not create a ripple on social media. Hell, even the Trump folks ignored it.
This is an important point. Three members of the US Intelligence Community–the CIA, the FBI and NSA–insisted that Russia was interfering in the US election using platforms like RT. But a minuscule number of Americans watched RT. The non-reaction to my interview illustrates that.
Two weeks later Judge Andrew Napolitano made the following claim on air:
that former US President Barack Obama asked British intelligence agency GCHQ to monitor President Donald Trump. . . .
Andrew Napolitano, a political commentator and former New Jersey judge, said on Tuesday Obama used GCHQ in order to “make sure there were no American fingerprints.”
“Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command – he didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI and he didn’t use the Department of Justice,” said Napolitano. “He used GCHQ.”
Fox executives and the Brits went absolutely bonkers. GCHQ came as close to having a full blown aneurysm as any bureaucratic entity can. And Fox suspended Napolitano.
“We’ve made clear to the administration that these claims are ridiculous and they should be ignored and we’ve received assurances that these allegations will not be repeated,” a Downing Street spokesman told reporters.
One of Judge Napolitano’s sources apparently was Larry Johnson. However, according to Johnson, the Judge did not accurately report what Johnson had said. According to Mr. Johnson, President Obama did not order anything. Instead, information collected by GCHQ was passed to people in the U.S. intelligence community and then distributed in an unauthorized manner. To deny that GCHQ did not do anything in response to a request from President Obama, but that does not mean that GCHQ (aka General Communication’s Headquarters) was passive and doing nothing.
In the wake of Judge Napolitano’s suspension from his Fox duties I was invited to appear on Brian Stelter’s CNN Show–the hilariously, ironically named “Reliable Sources.”
GCHQ, by virtue of being a foreign entity can (and does) easily and routinely collect electronic communications information in the United States. The Brits can do this without having to worry about FISA courts, probable cause, etc. Want proof? Here is the NY Times piece on 17 March 2017 that cites one example:
The conspiracy theorizing also tested what is often called the special relationship between the United States and Britain. American intelligence agencies enjoy a closer collaboration with their British counterparts than any other in the world. GCHQ was the first agency to warn the United States government that Russia was hacking Democratic Party emails during the presidential campaign
Got that? US and UK have a “special relationship” and the GCHQ was THE FIRST (not the second or third) to warn Obama that Russia supposedly was hacking Democrat Party emails. When did they warn us? Before the discovery of the DNC hack or afterwards? If afterwards, how long? Who received that warning and what steps were taken to take counter measures? Lots of questions.
Here’s another one–if the Brits knew that the Russians were hacking the DNC emails then how did they completely miss the Russians passing that info to one Julian Assange, who happens to be holed up in London in the Ecuadorian Embassy? To this date the Brits have not provided one shred of evidence to prove that Assange got the DNC emails from the Russians.
So why the enormous pushback from the Brits on Fox News? If we were playing Poker I would call their reaction a tell. The Brits, normally implacable, allowed us to see their left eyebrow twitching. Judge Napolitano works for the Murdoch’s, who also happen to have significant economic interests in Great Britain. I heard from another friend at Fox News that the the British Government leaned hard on the Murdochs to do something about the Judge. S
To recap, we have the GCHQ routinely collecting on U.S. citizens and sharing that with the United States via NSA. Let me suggest one additional twist–the Brits decided, with encouragement from people in U.S. intelligence (John Brennan, perhaps? Mike Rogers?) to step up their collection on Donald Trump and associates and then passed that information, unfiltered and unmasked, to their U.S. counterparts.
Why in the world would the Brits do something so risky? I think the answer to that is pretty simple, straight forward and self-evident. Trump’s policy positions on Syria and NATO represented direct threats to British interests. In Syria, Trump expressed a willingness to side with Russia in defeating ISIS and to withdraw the U.S. from the business of nation building. Trump also turned over the apple cart of status quo foreign policy by stating quite plainly that NATO was an anachronism and needed to be given a good, hard look. Anyone want to argue that our British cousins were comfortable with these policy shifts?
Therefore, it is not a train to crazy town to suggest that GCHQ and MI6 were more than willing to lend a hand in helping take out Trump. Could that will be one of the key revelations coming down the pike in coming weeks.
Wouldn’t that be a shocker–learning that the Government of Great Britain was working hand in glove with U.S. counterparts to sandbag Donald Trump and his Presidency?
Most overlook an obvious but obscure issue–GCHQ has been collecting intelligence on American citizens for years. Especially Americans of Irish descent or those with ties to Irishmen in the Northern Ireland. That was especially true twenty years ago. You do not have to hold Top Secret clearances to understand this fact. The British were collecting intelligence on Americans with names like Moynihan, O’Keefe, Lang and Kelly. Make no mistake about that.
One final point. The dog that did not bark. By that I mean that notwithstanding all of these machinations, no significant intelligence was generated that provided a smoking gun that could have spelled the end of Donald Trump. If such information had been scooped up you can be assured that it would have found its way immediately to the front pages of the NY Times and the Washington Post. That has not happened. I think one more story still to be told is what did the Brits know and when did they know it? I suspect any further investigations into this matter will put a bit of a damper on US/UK relations.
No political system with a secret police keeps its autonomy.
The political system in the US was dead 20 years ago.
MSM: “Putin critic dies in prison under mysterious circumstances!”
A Reader: “But what about Gonzalo Lira”
MSM: “Who?”
RIP Nawalny
and mainstream media are singing martyr hymns
Da, RIP.
Навальный was a democratic degenerate and arrogant pest. His death is best regarded as an assisted suicide about which parents anywhere can tell their children an Aesopian fable. Even the post mortem hagiography flowing from SSM’s discharge pipes in the West can be a plot element of their new fables.
Yale did it to him. It’s a hotbed of Russian dissident recruitment. I suspect the ABCs maintain a permanent office there in the basement.
Remember, remember that Gonzalo, too, committed suicide with assistance. He neglected the importance of ordering one’s activities in their correct temporal sequence. He ran his mouth provocatively for years, then, once it was too late, he tried to flee Z’s bloodthirsty machine. He could still be alive and well, say in Orban’s Hungary, if only he’d been somewhat less hard headed.
OR if he was a little more clever, ie, abandon motorcycle, swim river. 3 or more zip-lock bags for electronics, 3 or more plastic bags to make a ‘float’.
His life was worth a BMW motorcycle!!!!
For that matter, maybe he could have hired someone to retrive MC
He could’ve praised Zelensky and replaced what’s her face as AFU spokesman too. Some people prefer honor over death.
That entire episode of novichok, the deadliest nerve agent ever to fail to kill anyone, miraculously detected in his underwear and then rushing him off to Germany for ‘recovery’ with his minder gal by his side and then ending with a mere inconclusive ‘suspicion’ of the agent was something worthy of a spy novel or flick. I’m sure Hollywood’s busy working a script as we speak, dotting and crossing all the missing I’s and T’s
RIP Navalnyj.
He knew what he was doing as an agent for the west.
It was a major gamble to do it Russia.
However, even though the cause of death is still to be fully investigated, the MSM already cast the blame for his death on Putin.
There is no doubt that when the Russian judicial system puts Navalnyj in prison, then the correction facility has the full responsibility for his health or death.
A prison is not a nice place for traitors, or maybe he had visitors lately, while serving his 30 year sentence.
RIP Gonzalo.
He knew what he was doing as a journalist of free speech.
It was a major gamble to do it in Ukraine.
However his death was caused by denying him medical treatment against Pneumonia, and we can thus fully blame his death on the Ukrainian SBU.
SBU prisons is not a nice place for people exercising free speech.
Returning to Russia to be arrested, I wonder who talked him into that one. Usefulness outlived and turned into a sacrificial lamb? If suspicion is fact, then Machiavelli could have done no better.
Putin went straight from the Tucker Carlson interview to Siberia & personally ‘knocked’ Navalnyj . . . . is that how the SSM is going to play this ?? That will probably be the inference for the public to swallow.
Yeah – SBU/CIA KILLED American citizen and it is the victim who is at fault? “hard headed” my a…s
Why does that leading picture remind me of Larry, Moe and Curly?
We should hire Vladimir Putin to help clean out this rats’ nest.
Then maybe we could have some peace in this world.
I’ll tell you who’s just aching to do it. MacGregor. Listen to him from the last few days.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/txSG9CDbYjcH/
He knows now how Trump failed to drain the swamp the first time around and what it takes to get it done (if only). The man’s no nonsense. More power to him.
You’re right, Pogo. He’s great. One of the best. I watched him earlier this evening. He said:
“This war is lost. Ukraine has already lost hundreds of thousands of men. If the politicians in Washington had any decency, they would end this war immediately.”
These power hungry Zionists and politicians have no “humanity”. They need a taste of their own medicine….
Washington DC was captured by 2 Foreign Countries and a bunch of smug, dirty insiders.
Washington DC IS a foreign country so “they do things differently there.”
(with apologies to LP Hartley)
The Evangelicals are siding with Macgregor because he has strongly allied with the Christian Right. In this paradigm, America needs to return to “Christian Values”, whatever that nebulous sentiment actually means.
Like Humpty Dumpty, it means whatever the Christian Establishment says it is. Which Establishment? Catholic? Orthodox? Protestant? Evangelical? Mormon? Jehovah’s Witness? 7th Day Adventist? And that’s just the short list, sorry if I missed any down-voters out.
Are there any power-players in DC that don’t profess a religion as the basis of their moral right to govern? Billy Graham wasn’t invited to every Inauguration just to fill the bleachers. Bush jr, and Trump had to “find God” to puff up their popularity polls after revelations of their less-than-savoury pasts. AIPAC ensures fidelity to Abrahamic values, even if a few token other-believers are seeded to give a multi-creed sheen.
Macgregor’s position: “Soon, if we do not pray and take action governmental and global population control will strip Christians from spreading the Gospel of Salvation in Christ alone due to it being considered hate speech.”
https://members.ourcountryourchoice.com/2024/01/22/defend-our-religious-freedom/
And what gov’t in the USA would pass a law designating Christian proselytizing “hate speech”? What court would uphold it?
Is this about Believers being able to verbally abuse people wishing to terminate a pregnancy? Other-believers have rights too, crawl back under whatever rock you slithered out from under. We’ve been through this before here.
I DO NOT propose making the simple proselytizing of any religious belief illegal. I do find it reprehensible when those beliefs are forced on others, to the point of abuse or under duress. Informed Consent doesn’t just apply to medical interventions.
It is disappointing that an otherwise intelligent person would fall into such fervent lockstep on this.
Religion is not under “attack”, it is merely having its sole hold on dispensing its narrow definition of morality, and losing its unyielding grip on specifying what the unknown may be. Science and civilization progresses, religion retreats.
Like any other power structure, the religious establishment is loathe to relinquish its grip, on our lives and the gov’ts that mandate a particular moral “freedom”. All religions, when coupled to gov’t, overt theocracy or simply by majority practice, doom that society to eventual division and failure. The Believers simply can’t restrain themselves.
Any who met me at a job or other normal social interaction would never know whether I was a believer or not. Unless they tried to convert me. I don’t care what their religious beliefs are, and my beliefs should be of no concern to them. But they invariably make a point of digging to find out, to determine if I’m “good enough” to be considered their moral equal.
The assumption that any non-believer is somehow evil or morally deficient is a Logical Fallacy. Non-believers merely contest the right of the religious Establishment to specify and control what we believe. The Law and the Courts should be blind to religious ideology, and not covertly wrapped in any specific religious dogma.
The Founders repeatedly denied the US was a Christian nation, and yet most US citizens will tell you it is… or was, which is the the cause of the downfall we see manifest in their eyes. “In God We Trust” wasn’t an official US gov’t slogan until Eisenhower passed it into law. Before that it was only aspirational on some currency.
No, immoral people lying to us all are the downfall, no matter what religion they pretend to adhere to. And how do you tell who is lying and who is not? There’s the rub… “We’re only sure of we and thee, and we’re not sure of thee… Oh we’re the John Birch Society… ” EVERYBODY SING ALONG!!!
Used to be any “Christian” notion embedded in the law or the judicial system (like having to swear, right hand on the Bible, or any religious tome, to tell the truth…) was boilerplate. Any refusal to so swear made the accused appear 90% guilty in the eyes of those deciding guilt or innocence before the examination began.
Abrahamic Religions have had 1,000s of years to prove their worth, and all have failed miserably. But this time it will eb different… just pray harder, have faith harder.
Bullshit. This is no different that the Jesuits, Crusades, Inquisitions, endless God-is-on-our-side wars…
Let the passive-aggressive down-votes begin.
I’m no fan either but like it or not, it’s sure as hell preferable to what’s running the show now.
There is NO SUCH THING as lesser of evils in American politics.
If the pseudo-believers in gov’t/military didn’t have the smokescreen of religion to hide behind, they wouldn’t get the automatic free-pass they get now. They’d be judged on what they do, not what religious label they pretend to ascribe to.
Nutty-yahoo says, I’m a Jew, and the Torah says it’s God’s Will to use genocide to clear non-Jews from Palestine. Christians in the US gov’t don’t dare tell me I’m wrong because it’s in their Bible too, and it would cost them votes.
So all the US gov’t dual-passport and Christian Zionists fall into line. The sheeple follow on. And tell people like me we’re wrong, Jesus is merciful. Tell that to the people of Gaza.
That belief and $6 will get you a coffee at Starbucks.

Nothing “nebulous” about what Christianity is, Any Person.
It’s pretty clear cut, provided you know where to look. As a matter of fact, A.P., from Genesis to Revelation, the whole Bible is Christianity. And there is a lot at stake, too.
In the last chapter of Mark, Christ tells us:
“Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16: 14-16.
The best, most clear-cut and comprehensive definition of Christianity may be found in the Westminster Confession of Faith. And the best Bible to read is the King James Version (by far).

P.S. Never was much of a fan of Billy Graham, though he was a good, sincere preacher. Problem with him was that he was not Calvinist Protestant. Therefore, his theology was always shaky.
You wish me anything but “the best”. I am a thorn in your agenda to be exorcised, bludgeoned into silence. You made that amply clear in our initial encounters here. Still with “God will get you” scare tactics? Are you 10 years old? FFS, you hold no power over me, and neither does your God. If God has an issue wth me, he can show up NOW and make his presence known… still waiting.
Again, I do not fear death, I was at that door a few months ago and it wasn’t God that saved me, it was a skilled group of medical staff and their mastery of the latest technology. Shove your fear-mongering where the sun don’t shine.
But the tide turns and readers begin to comprehend the enormity of the subterfuge you support, which is the root of their cognitive dissonance. As Nutty-yahoo’s cynical use of Torah/Bible passages to justify the Gaza Genocide are exposed, you are turning to the “agreement” section of the cynical Israel Project’s 2009 Global Language Dictionary. Or some similar playbook Christian Apologists use to save face.

As I have stated from the beginning here, all the Abrahamic Religions are being increasingly revealed as built on a pile of mis-translated, strategically-edited, political agenda-oriented, systemic culture-control, power-retention edifices. Their ubiquity is their main strength, the Social Proof Logical Fallacy. EVERYONE KNOWS…
The real erosion of this basis began when the Rosetta Stone allowed the translation of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which make little to no mention of the fundamental Exodus narrative. Cuneiform was decoded and literal 10’s of thousands of clay tablets told the actual history of the Jews in Babylon. Noah’s Ark was found to have a basis in older texts. Independent archeology increasingly supports these older, UNEDITABLE documents. The Abrahamic narrative is largely ahistorical, essentially tribal propaganda taken as “proof” that God promised Palestine to the Jews. Which the literalist Evangelicals support to bring on Armageddon, the Second Coming and The Rapture(tm). And any who don’t OBEY are damned to Hell… nice.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the 1950s, and due to a LOT of BS foot-dragging, took over a half-century to get into the hands of non-religious scholars. Turns out the current Torah/Bible are not as Inviolate as advertised.
And then let’s look at the Triune God of King James Version fame. Recent analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls shows, as suspected, Erasmus (1466-1536) used flawed Greek translations to produce the Latin version which ended up as the basis for the KJV. The Triune God, among other significant theological flaws, resulted. Much has been learned since 1611.
A house built on a foundation of sand.
McMorrow will deny, deny, deny, but the facts are the facts. James Tabor has worked for nearly his entire adult life on the DSCs, so I’ll take his (and others of similar credentials) non-partisan word over someone who never looked beyond the comfortable, convenient pew the Evangelical Movement provides. Or Apologetic “researchers” who are Believers first, last and always.

The Graham Empire? Like all Evangelists, no one gets that rich and powerful being “honest”. “God always needs your money”.
If any have INDEPENDENT PROOF to counter what I have presented, let’s see it.
Otherwise your downvotes mean nothing.
Sorry, should be DSS, (Dead Sea Scrolls), not DSC.
I’m surprised that ppl on this platform are not aligned w/ this comment. smh. I would say it is SPOT ON. Sick to death of all the Fake Christians in politics (which is ALL OF THEM). Tucker Carlson went to Putin to get him to agree w/ that “schtick” and Putin just smiled and explained to Tucker that he didn’t see religion that way:) When the Fake Christians took over the GOP political realm, they started to ruin a lot of things. They seemed righteous at first but now they are strident and bullies and anti-Free Speech and all manner of other evils, especially Self-Righteousness.
Americans do not HAVE to be devout Christians and devout Christians would not rebel if DC was not actively promoting sodomites and other scam pedophiles who are destroying the next generation of children.
Yes, it is always the extremists who ruin a good idea.
Sodomites? Please move into the 21st century. As long as people of other sexual mores are Consenting Adults, it’s no one’s business what they do in the privacy of their own homes. I know male homosexuals that you’d never know their preferences unless you see them in otherwise normal social situations with their partners. They don’t show up nearly-naked in Pride Parades. I guess you’ve stopped watching Wheel of Fortune as male gay couples were seen on “Sweetheart Week” this year. Oh, THE HORROR.
There are laws against pedophilia, and most perps are probably heterosexuals, on the basis of demographics. And let’s not forget the Catholic priests and sport coaches were some of the worst offenders.
The concept of a beneficent God is a reasonable view of the Unexplainable. Unfortunately under the Abrahamic Religions Brands, it comes with 1,000s of years of tribal, cultural overburden. Wars, Crusades, Inquisitions and Genocide, all in God’s Name. Christians are known by the Abrahamic company they keep.
Any who out-of-hand say I MUST unquestioningly believe certain things, or demand I OBEY certain self-appointed authorities has lost the argument. But Believers feel they have the right to demand just that, because their God Sez.
Allow me to summarize all things from the above:
This will save you all a great deal of reading time in the future.
Good link. Thanks.
MacGregor is the kind of Americans that America needs.
Nope. He’s still stuck on Schmonstitution, one of the world’s leading misfortuntes.
And so are the others.
I wonder why MacGregor finds it desirable to retail old cold war lies about the Soviets at this time? Could it be that the New Narrative is a cold war narrative? Peaceful but hostile co-existence? We need to keep the Europeons from breaking ranks, after all, while we strip their industries and make them a captive market for US energy and- once we MAGA the US a bit, Murican manufacturers. How are we going to do that if we don’t stoke fear of Russia and China? They’re commies at heart, it’s in their blood, maybe Putin is a sensible guy, but what price Medvedev? I think you’re going to be seeing a lot of this line in the not too distant future.
That has always been my problem with MacGregor, he still has that cold war mentality. I view him as a more militant Donald Trump, with a dose of good old American exceptionalism.
I appreciate that he understands what is going on in America today, the corruption, etc. However, he just can’t break away from the cold war mentality.
Maybe Macgregor have missed Col David Glantz classes about WWII, or taken a strong fear to Soviet military accomplishments.
That ‘cold warrior’ mindset is the environment he grew up in, was trained in as a young officer, and participated in as a staff officer in the OTAN rape of Yugoslavia and Serbia.
He also took command at 73 Easting and acquitted himself and command well. He was honest and indicted the upper command for tossing away golden opportunity by ordering him to sit still and not pursue the the shattered Iraqi forces. He came away with the correct assessment of the Gulf War – a turkey shoot against an ill-equipped, badly officered, low morale inferior force w/o air support and ISR. Didn’t make him popular at the top – no stars, although deserved.
Also, ‘reformed cold warriorism’ (directed against China, Iran, RF, NK) that permits him to navigate in the MIC world to an extent, while allowing his other ‘deviations’ from the party line -“No matter, his ties to MIC are still there.”
He is who he is, and deserves respect and hearing, IMO.
I do respect the man, I also realize that his thinking and mindset will continue to be a part of the problem if Trump wins and then, if Trump selects MacGregor for a position. The last kind of personality I want for a President, or any of his or hers appointees is a warmonger or an exceptionalist.
MacGregor is anything BUT a warmonger and certainly no exceptionalist. You must be confusing him with McCain. All mics and macs aren’t alike. Then of course, there’s Ray McGovern’s micimac, where they all get together and raise a toast to the eternal milking cow.
That is WHY wise Moses lead the Egyptian slaves for 40 years circles in 2 km of the Sinai desert – he needed TWO GENERATIONS of people born without the slave mentality.
I am not very optimistic about positive/realistic prospects in the US politics.
So the Israelites were the first consumers of GPS technology, getting endlessly lost by listening to a disembodied voice? One of my friends calls her GPS Miss Direction…
Well that’s the myth, but that many people in that space for that long would have left SOMETHING for archeologists to find. And then there’s the problem that Egyptian hieroglyphs barely mention the Jews, and not in the corresponding Biblical time period. The Moses-related famines, plagues, pestilence etc. also don’t seem to appear chronologically speaking.
Any major capture of slaves were committed to stone to glorify the pharaoh of the time. And the starvation during famines seems to have been more from the corruption of the priests stealing from the grain stores they were entrusted with saving against such events.
I’m equally not optimistic that the US will easily dig itself out of this mess, as learning institutions have been stripped of any critical thinking skill training.
As Gaius Baltus so eloquently stated:
https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/why-is-the-west-so-weak-and-russia
and almost ALL OF CONGRESS in the same boat. Even Rand Paul went on Glenn Greenwald show the other day and criticized Schumer and McConnell for their Cold War mentality while saying out of the other side of his mouth that Russian oligarchs are just as corrupt as Ukraine’s:) in-f88king-credible.
They were, that’s true – but brought a bit to heel. Ukraine’s are still practicing in the 1990’s.
Ours have already been brought to heel, and bark all the right notes, like well trained dogs. They even get to run off their leashes, they’re so well trained. Well, except for Musk – they can’t win ’em all.
Don’t count on any huge revival of American Industry. It would take a generation to erase the “bad white guy” taste in the mouths of thousands of hands-on entrepreneurs, inventors, and survivors of the stripping and erasing of American industry.
Now, a Nation of skimming and churning, the only industry of any kind left is Military Hardware subsidized at 10 times the cost of manufacture.
MacGregor’s prone to hyperbole and a no nonsense straight talker. Even though Putin has denounced Stalin’s crimes and there’s even a museum(s) dedicated to it, I too have flinched when I’ve seen the old Soviet red banner on tanks flying next to the Russian tricolor from time to time, even though I understand it’s generally born of nostalgia for victory over Nazi Germany. Was there nothing positive of Soviet Russia, as he says? Not exactly but in the grand scheme of history, it was a firm negative on the nation and its neighbors, not even close to a wash. Soviet-style communism’s dead in Russia and I too, would have liked to have seen a firmer denunciation of Stalin’s SU and the system in general purged from the nation’s collective memory but I don’t live in their collective shoes nor with their sacrifices nor post-USSR shock therapy. Their system was corrupted by the Bolsheviks from the get go, but the SU defeated Hitler all the same. My two cents.
The way I see it, there are strange forces at work in the western world today. The neocons have one agenda, NATO and the MIC have another agenda and banderite Ukraine another entirely, yet they overlap like Venn circles and use and feed off one another where their spaces intersect. When one agenda begins to dominate in the gov’t and media, the other draws attention away from it like a chameleon and so, maintains a fog of nervousness and confusion in the public, unaware of how or even why they’re being manipulated, not even mentioning how Russia itself is left to defend against it. How do you fight a three-headed hydra? It’s not a game for the timid.
OK, maybe a bit of hyperbole on my part as well. MacGregor doesn’t have a copyright, after all.
You just described Venice : the Committee of 10 would dispatch any Fondi that got too powerful, the plebs checked the canals every morning for floating bodies, said he was uppity.
Today we have the Privvy Council. The Doge or Crown is Primes inter Pares.
An oligarchy tradition t least as old as Babylon.

Anyway when Putin fingered Boris Johnson by name with Tucker Carlson, he deliberately opened the door to the Oligarchy. Boris was Mayor of London, today Mainelli, American, is Lord Mayor of the City of London.
And of course Russian oligarchs flocked to London, to their regret – they got uppity.
Birds of a feather flock together…
Putin said to be nostalgic for the USSR is to have a heart; To wish it back means to have no brain.
MacGregor and Ritter got the SMO wrong initially – they ascribed USMC shock-an-awe to RF strategy, which was plain wrong. For them to think they can “advise” RF on strategy is pure hubris.
Ritter does that but I’ve never heard MacGregor ‘advising’ RU on strategy. He just compares it to what the US would do. e.g. flatten Kiev with shock and awe, as an example of why RU’s goals differ.
Putin has NEVER said that he is nostalgic for the USSR or wanted it back! He said that the collapse of the USSR was the worst event of the 20-cent because of what happened to (i.e. destruction) all friendly nations that it comprised. And look at what they are now – either satellites of the west or on the way there – and all of them except Belorussia have lost their identity or on the way to losing it quickly.
That is a direct quote from Putin not long ago.
Widely reported around 2000 as
“Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.”
I know about the collapse – Glazyev : Genocide: Russia and the New World Order Russia in the 1990s: “The rate of annual population loss has been more than double the rate of loss during the period of Stalinist repression and mass famine in the first half of the 1930s…. There has been nothing like this in the thousand-year history of Russia.”–Sergei Glazyev
Keep in mind that Russians honor their past, good or bad; they understand history and learn from it. The red star on their planes, the banner, all that, in part, is a sign of honor for the Russians that died in the Great War. Also one must understand, that there are many Russians that still long for the old Soviet way, and still have a fond memory…for what ever reason. That banner still keeps the political and social peace in Russia. It is likely that at some point in the future, the red star and flag will no longer be used. That banner/flag is nothing we Americans, or the rest of the world need to fear.
Stalin defeated the Nazis. enough said.
And the “progressive west” has quickly forgotten this. Now the EU ordered to REWRITE the history all together and Russia is no longer a part of it or one of the allied forces! They claim that the “history has to be HONEST”, i.e. without Russian in it. They forgot all the lessons Russia taught them in the last few centuries. And those who forget it are destined to repeat its mistakes…
„We“ „hire“
Is he simply a freelance contractor to you available „for hire“ ?
Thatch’s how you view Russian statesmen as „can be bought“ ?
What’s more, “hiring”them to do work we consider necessary in our own home but are unable to do ourselves…
I thought that rat’s nests were cleaned out by providing poisoned bait for them to take inside all by themselves.
While we are at it we should also hire the Duma to replace the Congress, right? Whom else do we need to hire? A few million voters maybe?
The US needs alliances to take on the Oligarchy. 4 Powers together only have a chance – with Russia, China, India. Not “hiring” but agreeing.
The precedent is 1863 when Czar Alexander II came to Pres. Lincoln’s aid against the Oligarchy, Britain and France. Today only 4 Powers together have a chance.
” I suspect any further investigations into this matter will put a bit of a damper on US/UK relations.”
I’m convinced that is one key to the importance “Russiagate binder”.
It’s the one that mattered enough to raid Trump.
Nothing else threatened the Deep State like that central, single smoking gun.
Nothing else warranted the raid – the ‘nuclear secrets’ leak was complete bullshit, there’s been zero evidence of that anything like that even exists.
Russiagate ties it all together- CIA FBI DOD DOJ NSA GCHQ Obama Biden Hillary Brennan Steele Gina Haspel Halper the Aussies et al
If Trump really thinks he had the authority to and did declassify it,
he could have – and should have –
made multiple copies too. I’ll be very disappointed if he doesn’t have copies.
But I’m convinced that Trump was told that the details of the actions of the Five Eyes with US IC were so explosive that it could rip apart US / Five Eyes Intel (primarily UK-AU-US) cooperation, which is key to US signal intelligence / NSA supremacy.
The arguments against wholesale disclosure convinced Trump to hold off declassifying it all too long. When he finally gave DNI Ratcliffe the entire thing and told him to coordinate its declassification, it was late in the game and the IC simply slow rolled it past the end of his administration.
He should have held a press conference Jan 2021 and handed out copies to everyone in the room.
‘I’ll be very disappointed if he doesn’t have copies.’
There is still the opportunity. Just who will be the democrate candidate, and when will this will be announced – could be a useful bomb against them. Its all in the timing.
It will have no effect on US-U.K. relations sadly. Five Eyes contracts out domestic spying to a sister agency to circumvent domestic law
MI6 employs a cutout and GCHQ puts the NSA staff in Cheltenham in another building when carrying out CIA ops against Trump
Theresa May who had MI5 report to her knew what had to be done and Cameron who was PM at the time had MI6 reporting in
Obama wanted it done
We spy on yours, you spy in ours and then we swap info, OK friends?
Trump didn’t even declassified JFK files. What possibly could be there worse than we already suspect?
FORINT – foreign intelligence.
Now, guess which?
Hmmmm, let’s see. The Saudis? Or maybe with a few Iranians thrown in? No? Palestinians then?
Noe, keep trying…
Chinese?
Nauru?
No, stayed clear off it as it would have been too obvious, using the two questions Putin taught Tucker to ask to get the answer of who blew up the pipeline:
They knew the answer to both would have been “Nauru” and “Nauru” more than any other power.
That day they docked all the rowing boats and stayed at home.
Aww, c’mon folks… it’s bonbon’s favourite theory… EVERYONE KNOWS it’s the Brits… Flappy Ears Chuckie and Bojo are behind it all, the City of London is the braintrust (without the Rothschilds, of course). The US/ZATO take their orders from Sunak now, since Lettuce Liz has left the building.
bonbon is having a 50%-off sale on bridges, having trouble unloading that Brooklyn one.
While good this is getting play, it is old news that was hidden in the West, but there were signs and leaks, and RT still was carried by some cable companies. Info has dribbled out, caught be those attentive over the years. Not dismissing this release or saying it is unimportant today – it is, there are still plenty who are not aware, but after the last 8 years are now much more receptive to look, and look deeper.
Have to ask though, “Why Now?” Why it is surfacing now? Of the opinion that the Blob, Deep State, call it what you want, has a variety of factions looking to grab the initiative. The multitude of disasters is growing.
A short list: 404, US/OTAN military impotence revealed, demise of the$$$, Africa beginning to finally throw the chains of colonialism, the zionazi Genocide, the heroic stands of Hamas, Hezbollah, AnsarAllah – Houthis against zionazi Genocide, aided and abetted by US, UK,OTAN, are pressuring the Sunni comprador regimes to pullback and consider their actions carefully. The undeniable rise and strength of the RF economy and
unsurpassed military, the readiness of Iran, and China to counter EOL provocations; add more if you like.
Back to ‘why now’ and factions within the Blob. Have thought that while there was small group of oligarchs sympathetic to Trump before, possibly the disasters of the past 4 years have added to the ranks and are making moves to wrest control and stabilize the situation before it spins out of control. A lot of $$$$$$$$ to be lost and plans to be derailed.
Look at the 360 by Lady Lindsey that even the WaPo covered:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/14/lindsey-graham-ukraine-trump/
Not only some US coverage, but also in theGuardian names Trump behind the switch:
theguardian(dot)com/us-news/2024/feb/13/republicans-ukraine-aid-analysis-trump
Axios, the deepstate news wire for party communiques is also on board:
axios(dot)com/2024/02/13/lindsey-graham-trump-ukraine-aid-loan
There is more going on. This may be a peek behind the veil of shifts in process.
2024 is shaping up to be interesting timez…
You mean Lady Lindsey did a 180 right?
Inflation is impacting the number of degrees in a straight line, just like everything else. Artificial controls on math have resulted in a predictable crisis that inflates the number of degrees faster than the economy in order to rebalance the system. The alternative would be to reduce the number of zeroes in one billion, and we can’t have that.
No, Lady Lindsey twirled and is back to where he began following the orders of his masters. These are not independent actors making decisions based on rational thought and conscience like normal people do. There is power struggle behind the scenes, IMO.
Good catch though! Did think of “Annnalena 360”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWLT1_jjWq4
Alex Christoferou skewered her stupid statment about the 360 a number of times. This one is good, cued to begin at 0:25 when he begins a ‘Clown World’ about Annalena:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttEAUIszUWM&t=25s
Why do you call Lindsey a “Lady”?
More like those ‘working girls” offering their services at truck stops.
Understatement is sometimes useful.
Dizzy whirling dervishes, the whole lot of them.
Very interesting – but this 180 from the Grahamcracker sends shivers up my spine. Is he a sycophant above all?
PS: I assume your 360 was intended as a Baerbock.
Bingo! Alex’s clip above in reply to Charlene.
Well, at least she’ll go down in history with something worthwhile.
I also liked that ‘I don’t care what the voters think!’.
But… but… LOOK! RUSSIAN DOOMSDAY NUCLEAR SPACE WEAPON SATELLITE KILLERS!
Gee. That sounds somewhat distracting.
What an amazing coincidence.
Didn’t we hear that one a decade or so back, first time China shot one of theirs down to show how it’s done?
I don’t know. Honestly, it gets hard to keep track of all the “LOOK! SHINY OBJECT!” episodes. I tend to just note them as what they are and then mostly forget about them.
We’ll know it’s true when Vlad demands One Hundred Trillion Dollars.
Methinks Graham knows which way the wind is blowing.
He is not intelligent enough even for that much. He is TOLD.
When I hear blow, I think of the Grahamcracker in one sense and Hunter in another altogether. Strange how lifestyles of the rich and famous can do a Baerbock on you when you least expect it.
“Wouldn’t that be a shocker–learning that the Government of Great Britain was working hand in glove with U.S. counterparts to sandbag Donald Trump and his Presidency?” No shock at all – the Five Eyes are alive and well, and the Brits love to stir up trouble overseas.
No shock indeed, just a reassurance in everything you believed about all of the UK’s little machiavellian plots through the years were right on the money.
When your camera catches someone’s hand in ten cookie jars in the neighborhood, then you catch someone on the eleventh, dressed the same and wearing a union jack bandana, pretty good chance he did the other ten too.
As a ‘Brit’ I can confirm that GB foreign policy these days consists of smiles for the camera and then threats behind doors: “We’ll get our Big Bro onto you, the one near Canada.” If Trump, or someone else, subjects NATO to the killshot the whole world will be an infinitely safer place. If Israel has been sorted out by then, assuredly so.
You’re asking for a lot
Sauron is being exposed:
https://jamesburrillangell.substack.com/p/eye-of-sauron-4th-branch-of-the-us
I don’t buy it. Clinton was hot to start a no-fly zone in Syria that would have butt heads with the Russians. Why would Putin favor Clinton? Neutral maybe, but favor? Makes no sense.
Maybe the same way he said recently in an interview with a Russian journalist that he favors Biden in the upcoming election.
Using reverse psychology on the Russia haters.
The same way the hasbara tries to damage someone in the eyes of those they consider “anti-semitic~” by claiming that person is in fact… a Jew.
At the time, Trump as President would bring a degree of uncertainty. A Russian leader would prefer the known quantity over the mere possibility that the unknown quantity might espouse less Russophobic policies.
I disagree. Putin stated clearly that it matters not an iota who is POTUS.
Pogo asked “Why would Putin favor Clinton?” I gave a reason why Putin would favour Clinton (in 2016). It is not a question of whether Putin personally preferred Clinton, but a question of the national interest of Russia to reduce uncertainty as to its plans for dealing with the USA.
I fell to my knees and thanked God when Clinton lost because I knew RU would be dismantling Clinton’s no-fly zone within a month, leading to God knows what. Plus, I made a promise to leave the country if she was ever elected.
Then again, she actually held Putin in awe when meeting him at some earlier time, like a love struck teenager. She’s like that, power draws her like dung beetles to their favorite home.
I think Ariadna’s probably right, and he was just playing mind games on Americans. I mean, what else can you do with them?
Well, we all know Trump’s a loose cannon but in a way, that’s an endearing quality in today’s political landscape. But who knows what Putin made of him when he was in Moscow chasing skirt and laying out grand plans for a Trump Tower?
Larry, even now you look a lot younger than Brian Stelter – who is reportedly not gay at all.
And this is the problem we have today.
All these bad actors know exactly what everyone else in their slimy, despicable group has done – and that if one falls, they all do.
They also know that what they have done is beyond criminal – it is likely the worst crime in US history, which would destroy their careers, land many of them in the slammer for ever : and for some, perhaps worse.
Here’s something else these evil snakes fear – if they were willing to illegally spy on big time Presidential candidates in 2015-2017, they were almost certainly experienced and had illegally spied on many, many others for years.
They fear exposure.
They fear the never ending snowball that could be unleashed, one that they can’t control, cascading down a mountain with each of their crimes piling on the last one, with more and more of their depravity and crime being revealed each time.
They MUST make sure that this cannot happen. This is why they’re so desperate and scared. They have to protect each other right now, in order to protect themselves.
Which brings us back to now. The scum will get worse while they still think they can get away with what they have done. But their luck won’t last forever.
These people are inevitably going to be badly exposed – mainly because there are powerful people out there with the dirt, who are out to get them.
They’re going down. And that includes the two slimeballs who were behind the entire op from the start : Obama & Biden themselves.
Since 1963?
He doth protest too much.
Nothing to see here. Kick the can down the road. I big boy made me do it and so on.
However, and I dont know if you have noticed, the same group is still trying to bring down Pres Trump.
I know it as malicious prosecution.
This is clearly an enormous and super powerful blob.
And they work their evil ways in plain sight available on tv.
More prosecutions and more serious than Al Capone.
In plain sight!
Decades ahead of its time:
There’s a lot to digest here Larry. Honestly, most of what you expose here was evident at the time. The new American President in 2016 was under siege from every possible direction. Everyone in Washington and the media was good with that. Who are we, low life citizens, to think this is our country and have the right to elect a Donald Trump? They were infuriated!
Trump himself, who ran on a platform of “draining the swamp” had no idea what he was getting into. For instance, he appointed the treacherous and absolute evil Gina Haspel (you refer to here) CIA director! Even I, an observer thousands of miles away, knew that was absolute and total stupidity! There were so many others that made no sense.
Trump had his opportunity to free Julian Assange, and allow him to speak, but must have been sold some bullshit lies by his ‘advisors’. Trump’s life has since been made a living hell by a weaponized legal system and the very people he befriended and appointed to high office. Think Christopher Wray or the duplicitious Mike Pence. The list is incredibly long.
I really hope he gets another chance to fix some of this treachery. I KNOW he’s a decent human being. The problem I have is that he uses poor judgement when it comes to people. His cabinet was a total asinine joke!! It took him much too long to realize he was being lied to and stabbed in the back. If reelected he’s going to be surrounded with people who will try to take his life, and continue to destroy him and what he stands for; one way or another.
Eisenhower’s advice to President Kennedy was sound. “Be a butcher. Get rid of the disloyal in your administration first thing”. EVERY Federal agency needs to be dissolved or reconstructed. Quit with the useless PR bullshit and get down to business or they will eat him alive….. again.
The elephant in the Trump room is Zionism. He must crush it or it will be same old, same old.
Absolutely correct. He has family members who are Zionists and he will be under a great deal of pressure. We may, in the end, have to accept half a victory….
Pence, Pompeo, Bolton The Walrus. The list is long.
Have you seen the video of the revolting Pompeo dancing with IOF thugs?
It’s a sad failing of democracy that candidates aren’t required to submit a list of their potential picks for key posts during their campaigns.
Shabbat Goy is hardly likely to restrain Genocidal Jews
Correct
No US President can do that
Trump IS zionist… he proved to be his four years in office.
I voted for him … twice …
He was surrounded with zionists because he is one.
He doesn’t do his homework … we know more about what is going on than he does.
And the US “President” no longer has ANY power … even Putin knows that…
If you’re not a zionist in NY’s commercial real estate market, you won’t last long.
Wants to take Venezuelan oil, participated in the stealing of Syrian oil and wheat, wanted to steal Iraqi oil( right now proceeds of iraqi oil are forced to be deposited in American banks) killed Solemani.
What a decent human being.
OK! Who is better and electable?
You want to drain a swamp, I think Medvedev is your guy. And he has great hair. He could win a US election easy, And he’s already won the US Open.
There are many, problem is no one suitable gets past the gatekeepers.
Literally. Getting Medvedev past customs might be difficult, but he could always come in across the southern border.
No-one. Voting won’t solve this. Things have to collapse before they can get better.
All correct.
Too bad Eisenhower did nothing of the kind. I smell BS.
Sweep the floor around your feet…… and put the cows outdoors.
Eisenhower was guy without a faction, an organization. He was controlled by the Dullles at State and CIA, and MIC that was just flexing its might and grabbing control with the alphabets.
Eisenhower’s departing address shows, IMO, that he got it and was issuing a public warning to the US citizens, incoming JFK (in addition to any private talks) and by extension the ROW.
Full address:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWiIYW_fBfY
I know what he said. I also know what he didn’t do. I mean, he was president, wasn’t he? He thought Kennedy would do what he failed to do?
Ultimately, the only answer can come from a man long dead.
Some good possibilities:
Hindsight. The frog in the slowly heating pan of water is a good analogy. Even Truman got it after JFK:
https://truthout.org/articles/trumans-true-warning-on-the-cia/
Think you also grossly overestimate the power of one man in a giant bureaucracy.
Also, Eisenhower wasn’t a leader, IMO. He was a consummate staff officer. Capable, attentive, conflict manger and resolver. He pulled things together and facilitated carrying out decisions others made that he often had input into during discussions, This is not a knock on him, by any means, BTW, and of failing health in his 2nd term.
“The problem I have is that he uses poor judgement when it comes to people. His cabinet was a total asinine joke!! ”
His mouth and his ego blew it for him. I expect that most Americans that voted for him where shocked when Trump brought in Bolton. That sealed it for me, and I knew the man was politically incompetent and out of his league.
“ I knew the man was politically incompetent and out of his league.”
Add sold out.
We all expected too much from Trump. Yes, he was advised to bring in Bolton. After Bolton was around for awhile he got rid of him. Bolton was just one example of many lapses. People like you and I wouldn’t give Bolton the sweat off our rears, but somehow Trump thought otherwise. It’s this disconnect with the real world that scares me. He paid the price.
I like the man, but…….
I agree but I cant’t say I like the man.
He was astute enough to see a big wave forming on the horizon– “populism”– and he called it MAGA (harking back to Lindbergh). He jumped on it to ride it but he is not a good enough surfist to stay upright all the way back to the shore.
He is not an ideologue, but an opportunist. Not a man of moral convictions but of “situational ethics.”
He is a narcissist who will always be vulnerable to flattery and definitely not a good judge of people.
The best we can hope for is that he, and not Newsom or Michelle Obama, wins is that at least the chaos and insubordination they will create around him will mean nothing too dreadful gets accomplished. What I hope for is… governmental paralysis to give us a respite
“The best we can hope for… …at least the chaos and insubordination they will create around him will mean nothing too dreadful gets accomplished. What I hope for is… governmental paralysis to give us a respite”
I’m shocked silly by reading this, and have to wonder if this is just more sarcasm.
Do you really, genuinely, not understand that what’s described there is arguably the best possible state of affairs from the perspective of what is often referred to these days as “The Deep State”.
Think something along the lines of “don’t worry about all that paralysis and dysfunction, everybody, we’re here keeping it all together and running in an orderly manner, never mind all that messy ‘democracy’ stuff, and we’re not going anywhere, so don’t you worry your pretty little heads!”.
Yes, everyone expected too much however, Trump promised “too much” to the American population and did not deliver.
About 100+ US people should be rotting in prison for treason right now, not only for this but also for voting fraud and swamping the US will illegal immigration.
But truly, when was the last time ANY major politician or Deep Stater saw the inside of a prison cell ?
Besides Satan, who’s running all this behind the scenes ? The “Rothschild class” as someone often says around here ? The Jews (yes, I know, redundant) ? Who ??
In a nation where one political party refuses to do its duty and impeach the sitting president for his crimes, do you really expect anything to be critically altered within the US polity? Trump had the dirt on the whole gang but did nothing and hired a bunch of goons too boot. And he went after China when the #1 problem is here.
and if he gets into the WH again he will go after China again because it is a useful distractor
Trump will go after China rhetorically again. He does seem actually reluctant to start wars, but it doesn’t matter because the State Department, the CIA and the Pentagon just do it on their own.

Of course there is a blood line connection between the US deep state and the British Crown (German line families, Zionist Jews, French noble families and so on). You got after the previous WWs lots of former Nazis and also Zionist Jews and nobles fleeing to US. They miss Europe.
I got Dr del Warne, British intelligent service agent after me in Turku, Finland. He is a psychologist who was specialized and had been based in Cyprus. The Swedish Bernadotte crown activists had him I guess as a consultant at Åbo akademi in Turku. This man was dating a woman related to Lauri Törni. I told him to eff off harassing me. He wanted to discuss about my views connected to Russia. What a talented jerk, mastering “just” the moslem and Russian borders of the “West” belonging to crown line family strategies. These people are obsessed with any piece of land they walk on, to be their crown marked property. Its their “religion” , this Zionist JudeoChristian, Israel occupation cult.
I dont care about religious colonialism. We Finns are now subjects to political Islam and even Indian religious movements.
My God is the Finnish ancient God, thats it. We cant talk about our prehistory and ancient culture at all. Finnish children get brainwashed with foreign history, in our own traditional lands.
Screw this colonialism and those intelligent service agents still working for it!

h/t Matt Ehret.
The Uk snaffled vast amounts of Russian wealth to rebuild the City of London and has been intent on a campaign to bury that deep ever since. (Any legal action would sink us). The plan was always that in grabbing control of Russia as a whole, neatly including the value of all its resources, the west would make this story about as relevant as the slave trade, but that has not happened, although the Brits are adept at cartooning anything they touch (Skripal, anyone? What a hoot that was).
The backdrop has been to keep the west on the front foot against Russia so that Russia is always painted as always in the wrong- so long as it remains an independent nation, that is. That means Putin has to go.
A spanner in this work was perceived as likely to come from the Trump Presidency (Trump has never agreed to sit in anyone else’s wagon but his own- cue hair tearing angst all over the place) which is why the Brits were anxious to leave Trump no breathing space, assisting the dems wherever they could with the firing off of sundry lawfare weapons the whole time. And it is still going on. Anyone but Trump would have thrown in the towel long since.
If you are a US citizen your only hope- the world’s only hope- is for you guys to elect him. Whatever his imperfections, the alternatives are unspeakable.
You love Trump but he was the first President to send lethal aid to Ukraine.
He did everything Ivanka asked even murdering Soleimani
Com’on, Ivanka?! Is that who gave him his marching orders?
Ivanka’s head is empty and her hands full with all the complicated daily tasks of appearing “frum.”
She is a Lubavitcher-dipped shiksa trying hard, not a political advisor.
If her beardless husband wants to pass instructions to his father-in-law do you think he would trust her to convey them correctly? He does kit himself because, remember, Trump said that his son-in-law is the most intelligent man he knows!
I’m not a Trumpista by any means, but I think the military was operating pretty much independently during his admin, that’s the beauty of the Permanent State. He was willing to saber rattle as part of ‘getting a good deal,’ but as with Kim, he wanted a deal, and the deep state torpedoed him. Killing Soleimani? Maybe, maybe not. It’s the kind of thing the CIA/Special Forces complex tends to do on their own, and then mere presidents have to claim credit or look completely helpless. That’s the case, of course, but saying so won’t get you re-elected.
Ivanka!! That is utter nonsense.
Ivanka was just a cutout. Everyone knows that Jared was the brains of JarVanka.
and Netanyahu the brains of Jared…
The problem is this:
“.. We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease …”
From Trump’s inauguration speech. It didn’t work, did it. Trump thought it would because of his special magical genes. Even Putin was fooled. Not any more.
That is true. Pure fantasy. Nothing out in space but our Triune Creator God and space.
Why not simply focus on cutting out all the aggressive cancers now killing America’s dying Republic?
Full time job in itself.
Wrong, proselytizer breath. “Space” is full of many phenomena humans are just beginning to detect, let alone understand. Go ahead, read your Bible and listen to your “elders”, call it “God” until science reveals it’s not.
Y’know, Earth orbiting the Sun, no crystal spheres, lightning is electricity and plasma, plate tectonics causes earthquakes and volcanoes, physics shows the Sun CANNOT “stop in the sky” for a day to allow a genocide. Just a small sample.
Every day, your “God”, like all gods before him, has powers taken away by science. Of course, y’all just move the goalposts, has worked for 1,000s of years.
Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence. Prove your Triune God exists. Ya, ya, “Mysterious Ways”(tm).
Only been 2,500+ years since the Abrahamic Texts were foisted on the world, nearly 2,000 since the Christian Brand was launched.
We’re waiting.
Wrong. Jewish Oligarchs backed by US stole Russian resources and parked funds in London and in Cyprus. Trump‘s deals were funded by Russian Oligarch money laundered over Deutsche Bank Wealth Department
Same way Florida Banks are solvent from Mexican and Colombian cash floats
“Trump‘s deals were funded by Russian Oligarch money laundered over Deutsche Bank Wealth Department”
But those were, I hope, the good oligarchs, not the bad ones who betrayed him the second time around.
I took a look for your disappeared video, Larry. All I could see was a blank black screen with:
Video unavailable
This video is not available in your country, the Land of The Free
Well, alright, I added the last bit. That would not be there, YouTube doesn’t do satirical comedy.
I also received the same. I also tried with a VPN from Asia, Europe, Americas, etc and either same, or even “does not exist” in some cases. I searched RT archives for 2017 but nothing by way of a video. Nothing on “wayback” either that I could locate. Surely RT must have a copy somewhere — or be able to demand a copy from YT if they are the owner etc.

[[Col. Lawrence Wilkerson says there is a theory circulating in the intelligence community that the CIA asked the British to spy on Trump]]

Hello Larry,
I am not an American, and I live very far away. My perceived political dysfunction of the US is much deeper than anything described here. The MSM and disgruntled bureaucrats keep reporting “irregularities” in the CIA, the FBI and all the other Alphabet agencies, and now even British agencies.
I think it is accepted that, after the British Empire expired they had to crawl up the US’s Nether Parts using Political intrigue and Military delusions so as to try to stay relevant.
The US is in another election cycle, and nothing has changed. so the MSM is able to lead a full orchestra every day of what suits an agenda,
The US’s dysfunction has now become so Immoral that neither Trump nor Biden can rectify anything, — It needs a totally new Visionary to lead the Nation –Gr
“It needs a totally new Visionary to lead the Nation”
Not enough. Make that:
It needs a totally new Visionary to lead a conscious, informed and united Nation standing behind him.
It needs a totally new Visionary to lead a conscious, informed and united Nation standing behind him.
Your sawcasm is reaching new heights.
Where exactly do you “sawcasm” in that statement?
Cx: Where exactly do you see “sawcasm” in that statement?
a conscious, informed and united Nation standing behind him
It’s like saying ‘It needs a Visionary with an army of angels standing behind him,’ or ‘I could make my cold fusion five gigawatt powerplant work if I could just get a pinch of Unobtainium. Where would your Visionary get a conscious, informed and united Nation?
Bingo! You got it. Just follow through.
That is exactly the problem.
No man alone, no matter how compelling his vision is, can accomplish the tremendous task of turning a country in ruin, rotten through, into a healthy, functioning, prospering country.
Putin had behind him a nation that knew who they were, and had a collective memory of heroism and great sacrifices to defend itself and win. A united nation. Also they don’t need a biologist to define what a woman is.
Americans have NONE of these traits.They are a bunch of special interest groups whom indoctrination has managed to divide by race, ethnicity, gender (real and invented) and the false dichotomy of the Uniparty like “left” and “right.
They would greet a visionary with catcalls.
You’ve every right to toot!
Brits are up to their neck even more now, can you imagine the panic in Whitehall, 24/7. These scenes of panic I imagine send me off to sleep soundly with a smile on my face.
Well done Larry, keep up the good fight.
You are delusional
There is no panic in Whitehall it is business as usual. Why do you think the new US Embassy is a stone‘s throw from MI6 HQ in London
This thread has some really funny comments from people who think it is high school rather than urban warfare
You’re the delusional one. Yanks are going to throw the brits under the bus soon. The space nuke fable is the same play book as star wars was. The Soviets saved face and closed up shop with that nice story. Yanks are going to do the same. Bye bye britannia!!
Good news. Will they throw the Brits under one of those double-deckers before or after they, say… cut the aid to Israel?
I think you are right. However there may actually be some panic in Whitehall. A huge scam is waiting to be revealed. The biotechnology revolution was never about curing disease, it was about making money for Wall Street and the City of London by insider trading. Look up ‘Drug researchers leak secrets to Wall St’. Biotech is a huge disaster, but hardly anyone knows it was also a huge scam.
Yes but Pfizer‘s product came from Germany and was funded by Gates, the Strunckmann brothers, German Government. It was a re-purposed cancer drug from a company facing insolvency
U.K. had no investments there
Yes but the article is about the stock market. Hedge funds are making huge sums for their rich clients by insider trading of biotech stocks. Not for much longer though I suspect. The drugs really do not work. They have side effects which means the subjects in the clinical trials can tell whether they’ve had the drug or the placebo. So it looks like the drug works when it doesn’t.
The panic is in the Rothschild Enclaves. Because Putin and Xi know EXACTLY how to hit the “pain buttons” that are causing, for one example, the Rothschilds to personally back out of the ESG agenda. The Corporate World will take a while to drop that crap, a lot of inertia.
How big a “WW3 is imminent” distraction did they need to try to keep their Great Reset on-track? To risk losing their 100+ year Israel Project. Ukraine just wan’t doing it. 500,000 dead Ukie soldiers, a demolished country and the world hardly is noticing anymore.
The US$ Reserve System (IMF,World Bank, BIS, SWIFT etc.) is being incrementally dismantled while the US/ZATO military/MIC that backed it up is being stripped of it’s ability to project power.
“The Brits” are just more puppets of “the world’s greatest banking dynasty”. Chapter 8:

“These scenes of panic I imagine send me off to sleep soundly with a smile on my face.”
Good for you. Imagination that helps you sleep happy is way better than awareness of reality that gives you nightmares.
Don’t let reality dent the soporific effect of imagination.
It is not surprise at all, “secret services” around the world are actually running the world – they have resources, time, turf and power to make it happen, and they will always do it if they are at least semi-capable. In the end, if they have some good intentions for their country it could actually work well, where Putin himself is a very good example.
However, I still believe that Trump, Elon Mask, Tucker Carlson and such are actually just an escape plan for Western elites – basically, if whole system collapses, these people (who are also parts of the same elite) will be left to lead creation of the new system, thus old elite (other then few scapegoats) should in principle stay mostly not harmed.
Simply put, all 3 individuals are harassed just enough to make it believable, but they could actually get completely crushed if elites really wanted it, as you can always invent some sex affairs or corruption charges, orchestrate some car or plane crash, block bank accounts/access, do hostile takeover on their enterprises, etc.
Ofcourse, west’s elites still have a risk in that approach as once they give real power to Trump and co, they risk getting eliminated as Trump himself could change his mind and go after them, as to why would he share power if he can have it all by himself.

The video is also not available in Russia.
I guess I had nothing to hope for.
Just a technical note for those who may not be aware.
In spite of all the “good reasons” for adopting and using shortened URL addresses with YouTube (i.e., to save characters in Twitter etc) there is small difference between using the “youtube.com” and shorter “youtu.be” address.
The latter directs to a server in Belgium [.be country code] before being redirected to the real “youtube.com” video address. The scuttlebutt back in the day was this allowed a NATO country (Belgium) surveillance of USA domestic YT traffic which could then be “shared” etc.
Of course, those browsing in any of the happy “many eyes” domains are tracked in any case. Hardly of any significance if one is just looking for grandma’s apply pie recipe.
Surf safe.

How can 50 million Englanders rule over the 8000 million world population?
The English call it cunning. You may call it mean and illegal.
I see the English as the descendants of the raiding vikings, not the Anglo Saxons, that are the farmers and settlers. Then you will understand their way of living.
England won over Napoleon and the French, two times over the Germans and strongly believes to win over the Russians therefore.
Britain beat Napoleon with Russian and Prussian Armies
Britain NEVER fights in Europe without allies
Cunning….why did the USA join the world wars? Did Britain not ask them?
Actually JP Morgan set up WW1 entry which extended the war.
As for WW2 FDR was told if Royal Navy fell into German hands together with Italian and Japanese navies US would be isolated and cut off from overseas territories
US fought to avoid going under and used British like it now uses Ukrainians
It doesn’t do to forget “Germany Must Perish!” a cry launching a campaign by the powerful Etruscans.
Carthaginians, according to Ron Unz.
In trust Ron, so Carthaginians it is…
FDR told Churchill – Ok, but no more colonies. Churchill went such a funny color, Elliot, FDR’s son thought he would there and then expire!
Ganpa Bush of Brown Brother’s Harriman paid for the NSDAP election, later slapped with a war-time law.
As for WWI Bismarck said in 1899 they will start a 7-year war, again. US entry actually shortened it. It was King Edward VII’s war from the crypt.
I can understand that this year’s election campaign and the questions surrounding the role of the “Deep State” seem important to US citizens. Perhaps because I am a foreigner and view everything less emotionally, I ask different questions.
A very important point of a statement by Putin and other Russian leaders was along the lines of:
[Either you fulfill our December 2021 demands or we “go all the way.”]
Second statement, not only from Putin:
[Even if you defeat Russia, everyone will launch nuclear missiles. There will be no world without Russia].
Third statement that I hear from Moscow again and again:
[Treaties with the West, or with the USA, are pointless. The West will continue to break treaties and betray us. The problems cannot be solved with treaties. So we have to defeat the USA].
In this context
https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PEA2510-1.html
So this is where we are now.
So the question is different. Not who will be president, but whether or not the USA can change its nature, its system internally and externally to cooperate peacefully with the world.
Anyone in their right mind answers this question with: “No, impossible.”
There may be different approaches on the part of the “democratic” clique than under a Trump clique. But is that of the utmost importance for the perspective of the USA?
There is no good solution for the US and its colonies via a presidential election. The entire body is full of cancer metastases. Terminal stage. The USA must be completely reborn. This also applies to the European colonies.
Absolutely right.
It’s obvious to me, as a Russian, that it doesn’t matter much to the rest of the World who the Americans elect as President.
For this reason, in Putin’s interview, I caught moments in which Putin was holding back and even being disingenuous. For example, when he spoke about Russia’s readiness to conclude a peace treaty with Ukraine through the mediation of the United States.
The time has come to destroy the order based on the rules by which the international mafia operates, dividing the World into hunters (city of London, financial structures of the Rodschilds, the Pentagon, transnational companies, Rockefeller billionaire Zionists), game (the elite of the victim countries) and packs of dogs. , driving game into traps of hunters through color revolutions, coups, social upheavals (socialists-communists-populists and other left-wing movements “for social justice and democracy”).
The “hunters, game, dogs” allegory is not mine. I heard it on Oleg Matveychev’s blog. In my opinion, Matveychev explained the structure of the World very clearly.

I never tire of emphasizing this. The fundamental problem of our era is not politics per se. Politics in the West is corrupt through and through. A whore. Ideologies are only a means to an end. The exorbitant concentration of economic and financial power in the hands of oligarchs and asset management companies such as “Black Rock” have reached a stage that can only be described as plutocracy. The WEF, as a private club of multi-billionaires, even speaks publicly of elections being unnecessary in the future. They speak of “stakeholder capitalism”.
Russia and China have managed to eliminate the oligarchy to a significant extent. This resulted in a form of state capitalism, meaning that the state or state leadership is sovereign and able to act independently of multi-billionaires. If you look at the economic and social development in these two countries, it is positive for the majority of the population. And only what benefits the population should be important for a society.
None of this is perfect for humanity. But socialism and communism are utopias for a distant future. The intellectual and emotional problem with the discussion about “communism” is that it is always defined and understood in relation to the past. This is a rather one-dimensional view. It’s like the evolution of all life. Everything develops laboriously. Mistakes and systemic problems must encourage learning.
But that cannot be the issue in the present. We are in a phase of development in which the survival of the entire human species is at risk. It is naive to believe that election results are the solution. There must be a systemic solution “now”. We are entering an era of AI. Quantum computers and robotics. Plus dangerous genetics research. If said systemic aberrations are not solved, then AI and robotics scare me.
I agree with your statements with the exception of this:
“But socialism and communism are utopias for a distant future. The intellectual and emotional problem with the discussion about “communism” is that it is always defined and understood in relation to the past. This is a rather one-dimensional view. It’s like the evolution of all life.”
Utopias like communism are not for the distant, no matter how distant, future. Communism as a theory is a utopia but when put into practice is a dangerous change leading to mass tragedy. You say it is wrong that it is “always defined and understood in relation to the past.”
Yes, appropriately so! It is called practice, empirical evidence and multiple experiments in various countries, and variations of forms.
The main reason is that it completely ignores human nature, claiming to “improve it” (see the “Soviet man”). It does not bear to imagine what horrors it would achieve in the future by using AI. You seem to allude to how that circle would be squared by .. “evolution,” ignoring that the entire course of human evolution has not changed human nature.
Another reason is that it is accomplished by dictatorship and survives only in a brutally totalitarian system.
Great comment and perfect allegory. Thanks for the link
Fully agree. It is the ‘hive’ of great wealth that has power, which it gained and controls thru that wealth. All the distractions, no matter how they start, find that infiltrations capture, and then turned into further means of control or destroyed. Think that this goes back centuries thru large banking and noble house in the West. Members may change, factions, families rise and fall, yet the ‘hive’ continues.
Suggest though that factions matter and there can be room between factional disputes to gain, at least briefly a bridgehead to breach the chimera, the illusion. With that there is a chance.
Further suggest, that is what VVP and the group with and behind him have done, and have expanded the bridgehead into deep penetration of the morass in RF. The OTAN overreach in 404 has accelerated the process in RF, just because of VVP the helm and preparatory work over decades.
Xi and his group has done similar in China. Iran threw out the West under Khomeini and his successors have been able to maintain separation and now with like-minded RF and China have expanded the breech further. Africa is now battling to finally evict colonial powers that managed to hang on to control. West Asia is in a pivotal moment in throwing out the zionist/talmudic regime, US/UK and putting the Sunni comprador regimes on notice.
US the last couple of decades reminds much of Brezhnev stagnation and decay leading to total Gorba incompetence, inability, and dissolution. Current regime face brandon bidette is a total farce figure emphasizing the decay.
Think what is now going on in US is factional dispute on tactics. The goal is the same – total control of wealth resources by the ‘hive,’ serfdom for the useful needed to produce wealth and death to the rest of ‘useless eaters.’
Did anyone in RF foresee VVP being an agent for overthrowing the hive oligarchs in 1999? Did anyone imagine that the RF 25 years later would be anything like it is?
No do not think that Trump is a oligarch tamer, cannot and will not try to strain to see who may be. This will play out and has many possibilities, most disastrous for normal people. But, there well may be a chance for redirection and time. There may be a chance for other confounding variables to emerge.
Nothing is guaranteed. Nothing is written in stone forever. No two situations are exact. Think there is value in looking at patterns.
“Did anyone in the Russian Federation foresee that VVP would become an agent to overthrow the oligarchs of the hive in 1999? Did anyone imagine that RUSSIA 25 years later would be the same as it is now?”
I saw it coming 🙂
Seriously, I had personal experience.
Once, my teacher at the University, back in the days of the USSR and Brezhnev’s stagnation, in a private conversation told me in confidence: there is an opinion among philosophers and historical scientists that at the turn of the 21st century, with calendar precision in Russia, a person will come to power, comparable in personality scale to Lenin ( Lenin was then an indisputable authority). This man will turn the whole country upside down and determine the course of its development for the entire 21st century.
True, when at the end of 1999 I first saw a man named Putin – small, frail, embarrassed – walking sideways along the red carpet, I thought: Lord, is it really him?! Why is he so weak? Why does he look so different from the savior of the Fatherland? But damn it, it can’t get any worse. I’ll give my vote for him, trust him and come what may.
When you know little and have a poor understanding of what is happening, you can only trust your intuition, a premonition of the future and the hope that Russia will be reborn from the ashes.
Very interesting. Not that familiar with these authors, except in passing from mostly secondary sources, however wondering if your professor’s comments were influenced by authors such as Solovyev, Ilyin, Leontiev, Tikhomirov, Berdyaev?
Your intuition and premonition was exact!
I don’t know. My professor didn’t mention any names. I was just a student. I still don’t know why he decided to share his seditious conspiracy theory with me. Maybe he felt that I would remember his words. The professor himself died 2 years later.
The works of the authors you listed were not familiar to me then and are not familiar to me now.
Zhirinovsky, LPDR. Gnostic predictions a specialty.
“So the question is different. Not who will be president, but whether or not the USA can change its nature, its system internally and externally to cooperate peacefully with the world.”
The answer to that question is a most definitive yes.
There might be a transition period of turmoil which I cannot say how violent and long would be but here is a fact: Russia changed its nature from a decaying communist empire in 20 years (80s to 90s) and started to recover 10 years after (2000 to the present).
The USA may take longer but not much longer.
Excellent comment, astutely reinforced by Gera.
Well said. My take is that the Top of The Pyramid understands this, and are taking measures to change course from imminent nuclear war to just enough Cold War to keep the Europeons on side. Hence Tucker Carlson, among others. Change the narrative, but in a controlled way. This why the aging swamp critters in DC are in such a hurry to pass money for Ukraine and Israel- a big chunk will go into their pockets, and this is their last payday. The danger area are the apparatchiks who aren’t going to get a payday on their way out, and many of whom are True Believers.
The other members of 5 EYES (should be ‘AYES’ since they all dance to the boss’ tune) are of course Canada, New Zealand & Australia.
The ex Foreign Minister of Australia, the longest serving on record – over 10 sorry years of deceit, kow-towing, duplicity and bastardry – was Alexander Downer, then the High Commissioner to Britain (the Commonwealth equivalent to Ambassador and idiot scion of the Bunyip aristocracy in the Great Southern Land – aka as Lord Bunter the Downer) entirely without justification or explanation suckered George Papadopoulos into a boozy lunch with tape recorder which he promptly turned over to his NSA contacts.
Downer, The Things That Batter, is a criminal and should be in prison. His father was a criminal, and now his daughter too.
Downer used ASIO to spy on behalf of Woodside and have turned the lawfare dogs on to the whistle-blower of that disgraceful episode.

Wait, isn’t he the guy who sat in a congressional hearing and testified under oath that the US government would never, ever, spy on its own citizens, honest pinky swear?
Well… Hells Bells! Larry, you just gave me a great idea – Sanction the UK like we did Russia, and the UK can revitalize itself economically. Of course, they’d have to join BRICS+, and start loving on Putin instead of Zelensky – but hey, small price to pay. 😇🇺🇸
Sanction U.K. like „we did“ Russia and watch the U.S. Dollar be looking for wheelbarrows
It would be so funny for dim people to finally learn how much US trading is done over London by U.S. financial groups. It would be great for the British to be free of the giant vampire squid but US spent the first half of 20th Century seeking to control U.K.
Whatever you do don‘t sanction Israel or they will dissolve the U.S. and let Mexico take over
Correct – The City of London is the financial center. At least since the 1971 Nixon petroDollar.
BRICS+ moving away from the petroDollar is therefore a sanction on the City.of London.
Funny how sanctions boomerang.
Egypt just announced it is ditching the dollar with BRICS+.

Excellent article and a great interview with the Man Who Wears No Pants and whom you treated as if he were not an idiotic shill.
I completely disagree, however, with this:
”I suspect any further investigations into this matter will put a bit of a damper on US/UK relations”
Yeah, right… upon further investigation they will be shocked to discover that the Brits did their job as the major partner in 5 Eyes and gave us what we requested. Why, I never.. The betrayal!
“Especially Americans of Irish descent or those with ties to Irishmen in the Northern Ireland.”
And those of Scottish descent like Trump ( his mother spoke Scottish Gaelic).
More important than mere intelligence – Tucker Carlson :
“If you felt, and you really believed — and a lot of them do — that the worst thing that could happen to the country, and, more specifically, to you, in the professional class, is to have Donald Trump as president; and everything you have tried has failed; and they have been accelerating steps: protests, impeachment, indictment. How many more arrows do you have in your quiver? And what’s the next one? And, of course, it’s assassination.”

What to make of the Navalny death in Jail?
Sounds very fishy to me, and the very last thing Putin would wish to happen now.
But very useful for the west, since Navalny has now become useless to his handlers and was likely considered to know too much.
It’ll be interesting to see what John Helmer has to say.
Rt reports that he had a “meeting” on Wednesday, ands his att’y stated that he was fine then.
Since killing him would have been as much in Russia’s interest as blowing up their own gas pipeline was, there are only three possibilities:
— his own “team” passed him some cookies on Wednesday in recognition of the fact that his shelf life had expired
— he had received the blot clot “vaccine”
— he got discouraging news from his att’y and developed a clot
At any rate, for Putin he was the dream “leader of the opposition”:
a fraudster with 3% approval. Too bad.
Well, if he went to all the trouble to get a Pfizer shot, he deserved it. The Sputnik vax is an old-school vax, not mRNA.
Навальный was an arrogant fool. The fortunes of the RF’s nations are still improving, but he adopted the bad idea that he ought to subvert improvement by polluting the nations with fashionable Western poisons such as democracy and queer marriage. His dissidence and death are material for a new fable which Russian parents can tell their kids.

On a positive note, however sad: Navalny’s death generated interest in my country, the Netherlands, about the death of Gonzalo Lira.
His name is trending on X in the Netherlands.
Anyway nobody should be incarcerated for speaking his mind. Nowhere.
I wonder how long Julian Assange will survive?
“Anyway nobody should be incarcerated for speaking his mind. Nowhere.”
Until he starts bad mouthing your mother and your grandmothers as common Dutch slags. Then, if you are neither a complete nitwit nor a Dutch sissy, you will quickly abandon your dogmatic faith in free speech.
Maybe, however, you don’t believe in locking up people who badmouth your female relatives. That could impose needless costs on productive Nederlanders. So you reject the aforementioned slavish dogma, but you do so in favor of landing a few punches on the mouths of, let’s say, Moehammidist replacements who boast about knowing, or having known, your predictable female relatives.

Fraud and extremism were the charges. Nothing to do with speaking.
It seems to me the agencies have gone soft… in the old days taking out your target meant taking out your target and then controlling every single aspect of the aftermath for decades including taking out people who know to much about it … maybe they will revert back at some point but they will certainly take on some major scrutiny should they move on DJT today…they took their shot and missed.

reminder :
I thought Tucker’s most recent interview with Mike Benz about the history of censorship and information warfare on its own citizens was excellent on the subject.
The strongest argument against the supposition that Putin had Navalny killed is the abysmal track record of the Russians in assassinations.
The smeared the strongest, deadliest nerve agent– Novichok”- on the doorknob of the Skripals home, a perfume bottle chockful of Novi was also found in their home and all the Skripals got was a case of digestive intoxication like after eating bad fish.
They smeared the same lethal agent on Navalny;’s underwear, pout some in his water and yet he… survived..
Maybehe the Russians gave up in frustration. and just waited for his clot shot to do its work.
Another compelling argument in favor of the version of Navalny’s natural death: Petrov and Bаshirov were not noticed by Mi6 intelligence in the prison cell.
That does not mean they did not get in. They are swift like ninjas and almost invisible like ghosts
I think CNN and MSNBC should speculate on this credible hypothesis.
I take no joy in the death of Navalny, but he is a victim of his own making. The Western Media paints Navalny as some large thorn in the side of Putin, they painted him as a strong contender against Putin. The truth is, he was neither. He never in his political history ever polled enough votes to affect Putin, or even the mayor of Moscow.
Navalny is an example of what can happen to a western puppet. He and others paint the Russian government as bleakly as they can. It takes a considerable amount of time to turn a country around and that is what Putin and the Duma have done. Navalny wanted to make Russia into a carbon copy of America, and do it overnight.
His poisoning appears to have been an inside job from one close to him. All his food and water were provided to him by close associates. Extensive blood work by Russian doctors showed no poison. Of course the Germans and others claimed it, but like the Skripal case, when the Russians asked to be provided samples of blood and evidence, no British or Euro official would do so.
Navalny made an arrogant move and returned to Russia from Germany. That was a mistake. He had already been shown a lot of leniency on his previous sentencing by the Russian court system, and had a lot of freedom, however, he could not leave Russia. His going to Germany did not improve his health, the Germans did nothing more to heal him than what the Russian doctors could do. I seriously doubt the Russian government had anything nefarious to do with his death.
I agree with your entire assessment BUT for this:
“Navalny made an arrogant move and returned to Russia from Germany. “
Maybe he had no choice. Maybe he was of absolutely no use to his employers outside of Russia and they assured him that after he gets back in they will protect him. After all Putin’s Russia was about to crumble, they told him…
He must have been an absolute idiot.
Watch Scott Ritter analyzing him:

Honestly, Ritter hit the nail on the head. He just talked about a lot of stuff I considered writing but was too lazy to do. Ritter in my view, is 100 percent correct.
As I recall, I may be wrong, Germany did not push him out and he was warned by his lawyer and others to not return to Russia. The reason being is that he violated his parole by leaving Russia. He already knew that on his return he would be arrested…and he was. I can’t help but to think that his arrogance and desire to be a martyr led him to return to Russia. He constantly put himself in a position to be arrested and to draw attention.
Nalvany always pushed the limits. The Russian court system could have left him prison but he was on parole. Even then, he did not have enough sense to keep a low profile. His organisation did not help matters either.
In the above, I meant probation, not parole. In both of his convictions, he was given probation.
KGB got Ukraine ONU Bandera not far from Munich BND Gehlen’s HQ, just for example.
