Truth, Lies and Sussmann

15597723400 aa7befc853 c

It can be a bittersweet moment when truth is all that's left. Suspicions of infidelity become credit card receipts from a no-tell motel. A Facebook post tells of a meal shared when a business trip was scheduled. It is ugly, especially the certainty you were lied to by someone you once trusted, especially when that person wanted to be President of the United States. Two such instances that deserve notice passed through the mainstream media last week with barely a notice. The first is that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee lied about Russiagate. Hillary paid experts to...

Kosovo Indictment Proves Bill Clinton’s Serbian War Atrocities

Clinton Statue

President Bill Clinton’s favorite freedom fighter just got indicted for mass murder, torture, kidnapping, and other crimes against humanity. In 1999, the Clinton administration launched a 78-day bombing campaign that killed up to 1500 civilians in Serbia and Kosovo in what the American media proudly portrayed as a crusade against ethnic bias. That war, like most of the pretenses of U.S. foreign policy, was always a sham. Kosovo President Hashim Thaci was charged with ten counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity by an international tribunal in The Hague in the Netherlands. It...

Twin Pillars of Russiagate Crumble

Capture

New House Documents Sow Further Doubt That Russia Hacked the DNC House Intelligence Committee documents released Thursday reveal that the committee was told two and half years ago that the FBI had no concrete evidence that Russia hacked Democratic National Committee computers to filch the DNC emails published by WikiLeaks in July 2016. The until-now-buried, closed-door testimony came on Dec. 5, 2017 from Shawn Henry, a protege of former FBI Director Robert Mueller (from 2001 to 2012), for whom Henry served as head of the Bureau’s cyber crime investigations unit. Henry retired in 2012 and...

6/14/17 Joe Lauria on ‘How I Lost by Hillary Clinton’

Judging by the stance of the leadership of the Democratic Party and much of the media, Hillary Clinton’s devastating loss in the presidential election of November 2016 was all the fault of pernicious Russian leaks, unwarranted FBI investigations and a skewed electoral college. Rarely blamed was the party’s decision to run a deeply unpopular candidate on an uninspiring platform. At a time of widespread dissatisfaction with business-as-usual politics, the Democrats chose to field a quintessential insider. Her campaign dwelt little on policies, focusing overwhelmingly on the personality of...

More Russia Propaganda

Bloomberg has a big story about how THE RUSSIANS! have been blackmailing the poor Democrats, specifically John Podesta's Center for American Progress: extorting Bitcoins out of them under the threat the hackers will reveal true things CAP leaders emailed to each other about how corrupt they are. You could see why they're worried. Well, yeah but what's this stuff about PUTIN! being behind this nefarious Cyber War attack on our shores?: The hackers allegedly "have used some of the techniques that security experts consider hallmarks of Cozy Bear." Oh. That's really a very, very convincing...

Major Papers Target AG Sessions Over Russia

On Wednesday night, the big three papers, the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall St. Journal, all ran articles attacking the Trump administration over their supposed "ties" to Russia. Yet, in the tradition of anti-Russia hype in the American media, on close inspection, the stories end up amounting to nothing but further evidence of America's "permanent government," its Cold War agenda, and their attempt to overturn, or at least "hem in," the policy decisions made by the new elected administration on the issue of U.S. relations with Russia. The Times story says that the Obama...

Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses the intelligence community's weak evidence pointing to Russian involvement in the DNC and John Podesta email leaks that may or may not have led to Hillary Clinton's election defeat; and the privately-sourced 35-page report alleging Donald Trump has been compromised by scandalous information the Russians have on him.

The True Scandal of 2016 was the Torture of Chelsea Manning

A FEW DAYS AGO, we learned that Private Chelsea Manning attempted to take her own life last month for the second time since being sentenced to 35 years at the U.S. military prison in Leavenworth, Kansas. The whistleblower, who provided the collateral murder video, the Iraq and Afghan war logs, and the hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. State Department cables to Wikileaks, was convicted of espionage. As I waited to vote today, I found myself thinking of her languishing in misery in isolation and incarceration. This election — particularly in its closing stages — has been dominated...
