The UK Government Was Given Evidence That Trump Was In Putin's Pocket. They Chose To Ignore That Evidence In Favor Of Pursuing Their Own Political Goals.

BREAKING NEWS:

Former MI6 (Military Intelligence) agent Christopher "Steele said that he had handed over a dossier on Trump’s links to Russia in 2016, but that “no inquiries were made or actions taken thereafter.”(!)

Of course they weren't (*sigh).

*Thank you, ever so much: Theresa May and Boris Johnson!

Can you say, "Russian Asset"?*

I knew you could!

* IF you simply and objectively look at the accumulated evidence (even just the evidence that's been public-knowledge) Donald Trump's public statements, official decisions and actual actions all manage to serve Putin's and/or the Kremlin's interests:

1.) NATIONAL DESTABILIZATION/GLOBAL WEAKENING of these United States (Trump gleefully engages in throwing gasoline on- and/or fanning the flames of- division (racial, political, educational, economic, etc.) between Americans (textbook methods to "Divide and Conquer"); Trump's support of BREXIT; vocal and public support of RW/extremist/racist/xenophobic/repressive/anti-democratic politicians/governments in European countries and other ally nations.

2.) WEAKENING of the European Union (supporting BREXIT; supporting/promoting RW/extremist/racist/xenophobic/repressive/anti-democratic politicians/governments; threatening to pull out of NATO; pulling American security troops out/ opening the door for Turkish troops to pour into previously-peaceful, Kurdish rebel-held territories, facilitating the Turks' taking over and freeing ISIS terrorist prisoners, attacking/killing of our historic allies in the region - the Kurdish rebels - whom the Turks openly villainize and encourage violence towards; withdrawing American troops from Germany, etc.).

3.) WEAKENING of- and/or abolishment of NATO ("North Atlantic Treaty Organization") (by threatening to pull America completely out of NATO; pulling troops out of Germany - actions which actively-remove significant amounts of historically-successful deterrence - as well as layers of security - that have kept Putin and the Kremlin from carrying out it's historic and decades' long love of military aggression and geographic expansion; et. al.).

Regardless of whether Trump's gratuitous (Trump is a fanboy of- and is submissive to-  Vladimir Putin and a number of other violent, anti-Democratic, journalist-assassinating, whistle-blower-assassinating , authoritarian dictators; he took Putin's cat-that-ate-the-canary-smiling denial of Russian 2016 election interference over the entire U.S. Intelligence Community's evidence-based findings that Russia had definitely interfered in the 2016 election - in order to get Trump into the White House, where he could proceed to do/has actually done Putin's bidding), embarrassing (see: 2016 election interference, et. al.) and national security-damaging (see: revealing confidential, national-security information to Russians in the Oval Office (which endangered the lives of American and Israeli intelligence agents and assets), 2016 election interference, et. al.), servitude to Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin is voluntary (i.e. Trump's is neck-deep in numerous, documented, multi-million dollar, Putin- and Russian oligarch-related interests like his long-held desire to erect a "Trump Tower" in Moscow - a project which he denied and lied to Americans about prior to the 2016 election) or involuntary (extortion: video, audio, photographic)...

It's still... well... Treason.*

(*The "Cold War" with Russia continues, so, yes, it does meet the requirement for legal use of "treason".)

So, please, take a deep, cleansing breath - or several... wake-up, and smell the Reality.

IF ONLY FOR the sake of the continued existence of these United States of America and for the re-ignition of our once globally-gleaming beacon of Democracy.

Evidence of Russia's 'likely hold' over Trump was covered up by the UK government, according to a former British spy

Russian Spy Chiefs Met In U.S. With U.S. Intelligence Officials In January | Ra...

It appears that Alexander Bortnikov, the head of the FSB (former KGB), Igor Korobov, the head of the GRU (Russian Military Intelligence), and the  Sanctioned/Banned SVR (the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency that hacked our 2016 elections) chief, Sergey Naryshkin, were-secretly - ushered into the U.S. to meet with CIA chief, Mike Pompeo, NRI chief Dan Coats (among other high-level U.S. Intelligence officials) at the end of January 2018.

What A Coincidence -this secret meeting took place just days before Donald Trump decided to - unilaterally  eliminate the Russian sanctions that the U.S. Congress had approved (with bipartisan support) in response to Russia"s interfering with our 2016 elections.

Please Note:  For that last person, Sergey Naryshkin - who has been banned since 2014 - to set foot on American soil would have required "special dispensation" from the U.S. Secy of State, Rex Tillerson.

Also worth noting:  This highly-unusual meeting wasn't even mentioned or acknowledged by the White House.  We only learned of it because Reuters picked up on the story while translating Russian state-run press coverage in which the Kremlin was boasting.

The FBI Is Actively Investigating Possible NRA-Russia Electoral Campaign Funding Funneling

FACT: The NRA spent between $30 Million and $55 Million in 2016 to get Donald Trump elected President.

That's three times more than they invested in Mitt Romney's presidential  campaign.

What I want to know is this:

*Where the hell did the NRA get such huge sums of money to throw around so carelessly?!

Surely not just from NRA membership dues and hat/t-shirt/bumper sticker sales...

Aren't you Curious?

What’s the Truth About the NRA’s Man in Moscow?

My Open Letter to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein

(Unofficial) PRESS RELEASE: My Open Letter to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein... Dear Honorable Senator Dianne Feinstein: I’m writing to you as a longtime resident of San Francisco, California and one of your constituents. Although I’ve disagreed with a number of positions you’ve held in the past in the U.S. Senate, I felt it was very important to let you know that I fully support your decision - as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee - to release the documentation of the Fusion GPS testimony given during the ongoing Mueller investigation of Russian influence on the presidential election of 2016 and the unlawful involvement of.certain members of the Trump campaign in same.

Therefore, I urge you, please, don’t succumb to pressure from any individual or group who tries to get you to backpedal, back down or to make you feel that you have to come up with an excuse for having taken the extremely important and unquestionably patriotic action of releasing that documentation to the American people. For America's Democracy, for our Great Republic to not only survive but to thrive, we must have transparency throughout our branches of government and trust and faith in the integrity of our elected officials must be maintained. But, in order to be able to maintain that all-important trust in our elected officials, the American people must always be provided with truthful, accurate, complete and timely information so that they may make informed decisions. And, I think I speak for all Americans who are paying attention when I say that, if the decision were left solely up to the Trump administration, the Republican Party and the GOP members of Congress, then the American people would be kept in absolute darkness for perpetuity. To be honest, I was surprised when learned of your releasing the Fusion GPS testimony documents and I believe many others were as well. But, with that said, we were and we are so very glad and so very thankful that you did so. You’re actions were courageous, patriotic and - bottom line - they were the right thing to do for the American people and for American democracy. Putting aside anything Trump-related for a moment, the bottom line is this: we must understand Russia's tactics and methodologies so that we can take effective, swift actions to prevent such interference and influence in the future. One thing we can do, now, is teach Americans how to make informed choices regarding news consumption and recognizing the weaponization of social media posts by special.and foreign interests. Senator Chuck Grassley’s decision to continue to withhold the Fusion GPS documents from the American people proves that he is yet another tool of the dangerously incompetent and shamefully corrupt Trump administration and - for his choosing (Republican) party over (American) people - (imho) nothing more than a traitor. So, thank you, honorable Senator Dianne Feinstein. It's good to know that some members of Congress still have spines. May 2018 be a much better year - for all of us - than 2017. I believe it will be. And, your recent actions have contributed to this being realized. In closing, please allow me to share a favorite quote from George Orwell, one I feel is supremely apropos at this time: “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” Viva la Revolution.

Europe Planning A Lunar Base By 2030. (Got Priorities?)

"The final words that Gene Cernan spoke before stepping on to the tiny craft that would ("allegedly") carry him back to Earth are simple and sobering:

'We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return with peace and hope for all mankind.'"

That was in 1972. That’s more than 40 years ago. (Again, "allegedly") We haven’t been back."

And, now, THIS...
(Cue Ominous Music)
Europe Planning to Establish Lunar Base by 2030*

*So much for the National Parks' (& other delicate natural places') advice of: 

"Take Only Pictures.  Leave Only Footprints."

Here's a Question: "Who's going to win the Lunar Landfill Contract?"
Or, will they  follow that Old Standard practiced on Mother Earth:
"Outta Sight, Outta Mind.", and just jettison their (countless tons 'o) junk into SPACE?

Also, consider how many Billions of Dollars/GBP such an endeavor will cost.  

Meanwhile...  Back here on Planet Earth:

Thousands of children are suffering from starvation; in need of medical care; without safe, non-war zone places to live; haven't safe drinking water or adequate education, etc..  And, there's so much toxic & lethal (and nuclear) waste scattered about the globe because "modern man" has been and STILL Is treating the Earth and her oceans like their own individual and collective "Magical" Bottomless Garbage Can...

But... Hey, Don't Be A 'Buzz-Kill'!

Never mind all THAT!  Having our own "Moon-Base ALPHA" Will Be So COOL!

I'm counting to 10, now... (Breathe)

smh

MH-17: "The Russians Did It!" (Or... Did They?)

From day one, Western media has stood behind its (virtually pre-cognitive) claim that pro-Russian separatists shot down MH-17 with a missile.  Case Closed.  Before a single investigator even reached the site?  Talk about rushing to judgement: "Putin did it!", cried the chorus.

Among several other relevant questions, the 8/4/14 online (and quite-irritated) issue of Pravda asks...
"What about the Spanish air traffic controller (since disappeared mysteriously)... who said two Ukrainian fighter jets were behind MH-17?"  Pravda claims that there are eyewitnesses who saw the two fighter jets behind MH-17.

In addition, they claim that bullet-holes - both entrance and exit - were observed on the walls of the cockpit.  which begs the question: "If it was shot down by a missile, where'd the bullet holes come from?".  After which, they go on to note that Ukrainian SU-25 fighter jets are equipped with double-barreled, 30-mm guns; anti-tank incendiary shells and explosive shells.

Personally, I tend not to believe a word anyone on either side - and, especially, in the media - has to say.  Sadly, western media has abandoned its long-honored practice of "Fact-Checking".

"Dear News Media: Stop talking out of the sides of your necks - for just a few moments - and wait for the evidence to be sifted through.  Thank you."

Senator Kyl Nukes Obama's Push For US-Russia START Treaty

Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) just did his part to torpedo not only President Obama; but, also the President's efforts to "re-start" relations with Russia; whilst he simultaneously extended the ridiculous period during which America's National Security has been utterly left to chance.

How?

Well, instead of ratifying the new START Treaty (which returns American investigators to live/work 'on the ground' & observe/report on the numerous Russian nuclear sites), Senator Kyl (who only recently spoke on the urgency of the Treaty's renewal) now says that he and fellow GOP Senators will be serving the myopic goals of the GOP (trying to make Obama a one-term President), instead of serving the National Security of America.

Yep, the Senate's GOP members are just gonna twiddle their thumbs (just to thumb their noses at the President) until next year.

They're just going to keep on ignoring the screaming elephant in the room...

That postponing the vote on the Treaty (until its approval will be virtually impossible to get, at that) only does one thing: It only extends and increases the already serious risk that terrorists could acquire Russian-made nuclear materials.

Gee, thanks, Jon! :P
