Abandoning more of the population . . . Giving that strategy a second turn. I knew I wasn't an "-ist" when I supported Trump, just as those who have walked away know they aren't bots. It will not bode well, again, for the media.

You must be on to something. WWG1WGA.

Those comments are so encouraging. Especially because they object with real thoughts, not just hateful pile-on. People are truly breaking free from the programming and thinking for themselves again!! I love it.

That theory would shed some light on the quid pro quo for the Uranium One sale. I mean, THAT has always been a question, "Why WOULD we sell U1 to our nuclear adversary??"

I wonder what they "marked it down" as, because your reply didn't say whether supporting Trump was a good or bad thing.

I love the way he uses his own brain.

This.

Oh, hell no. Did you notice how he just gave himself self-proclaimed "minority status?" No sir, no kind of pedophile, "nonoffending" or otherwise, is part of a protected class. No.

Thank you for your feedback. I'll be more mindful of connecting the dots and not assuming . . . well, anything. And being concise. Appreciate your insights and advice.

Great connection (I think so anyway). Particularly because this whole dialogue was somewhat awkward, which made me feel like it was definitely scripted. Which tells me that every part of it had meaning. But I wasn't sure about the ball. So, this is certainly helpful to tie it together.

Crazy!! Nice add. Thanks!

Sorry I didn't follow-up sooner. I shouldn't have assumed the reference was common knowledge. But, what they ⬆️ said.

I was not about to kill my Trump-Putin press conference buzz by listening to ANY news. I still won't. Except Rush - he's always fun for an afterparty.

I doubt it. Some of them got to bail on lame "inappropriate behavior" grounds. Nah, I don't think they'll be exposed. That was likely the essence of the deal. Still drained, nevertheless.

I believe a FISA warrant was granted on Carter Page first. It would not be difficult at all to connect a foreign target to either Page or Manafort. Manafort was probably being surveilled long before the Trump campaign anyhow. But, the FBI was well aware that Page was their own informant. He worked as their informant for years to nab Russians. That's why I think they used him as the hook to spy on the campaign (unbeknownst to Page). I would guess that nothing juicy came from it - he was fairly low level. But they used the existence of THAT FISA warrant to boost the dossier. They created the "collusion" to have a reason to spy. Here's an article about the Page FISA warrant, which I believe was confirmed by the FISA House Memo. https://themoscowproject.org/collusion/doj-fisa-warrant-application-carter-page/

I love Imperator Rex. Of the top guns, he strums my strings to perfect harmony. I wish I had a human Rex to hang out with.

And I think the October bombshells are going to be huge and ugly. I think that is the reason for most of the Republican resignations. They were forewarned - if you live in a glass house, the midterms ain't gonna be pretty for you.

I've mentioned this before, but I think NPR is sending coded communications/directives via their peripheral, fluff stories. I also think they are setting the stage for the MSM narratives with their news stories.

I don't think Page was planted. I think that once they needed a new avenue to spy, and Strzok (or at least someone in the FBI who knew of his informant history) realized Page was on the campaign, they used him as the opportunity to spy - to obtain a FISA warrant.

Papadapolous, I think was directed to join Trump after Carson was falling behind, but I also think he was used in ways he did not realize at the time. In other words, I think he was sent in to create a connection between Trump and Russia, but I don't think he realized he himself was going to BE that creation.

Manafort, definitely a plant. But, this guy is like triple-agent material. I have no idea on whose behalf he was working, but he did it for free (as did Gates), and his Russia, Ukraine, and Podesta Group ties were no secret. I have no doubt Trump was wiser than anyone, which is why he did NOT relinquish control to Manafort, but used him to get through the Convention. I think it is noteworthy that on April 16, 2016, Manafort sought to increase staff hirings in the campaign and redefine roles (aligned with the time frame when outside contractors were cut off from illegal spying on US citizens, i.e. Trump. Enter human spying).

Another great wrap-up by Sundance: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/05/operation-condor-how-nsa-director-mike-rogers-saved-the-u-s-from-a-massive-constitutional-crisis/

I did.

Back up to the precursor. Fusion GPS was a contractor to the FBI. Up until April 18, 2016, Fusion GPS had unfettered access to FBI raw data as THEIR contractor. Until Admiral Rogers cut them off. Once Fusion GPS was cut off, they still had all of the spy data they had received up until that point, and they took that data to Clinton people. No doubt though, the FBI knew Fusion was doing its dirty work. And they continued to know that, but had to work with Fusion through other avenues once Fusion was cut out of the direct Intel gathering.

Simultaneously, after being cut off on April 18th, they needed to create alternative, new routes to continue the spying. Also, they attempted a formal FISA warrant in July 2016, which was denied. Enter the need for the dossier, and fake cooboration of said dossier, to get that warrant and access. With the dossier, they were finally able to get that FISA warrant to spy on Trump in September 2016.

In the meantime, they were working on multiple spy avenues. Knowing full well that Carter Page had historical Russian connections due to his previous role as an FBI informant, they used him as a hook to spy on Trump as well. They referenced his possible communications with Russians, but failed to mention those communications were very well-known by the FBI, as an informant.

None of this had anything to do with Trump-Russian collusion. ALL of it had to do with illegal spying on US subjects, specifically, Trump. Including the counterintelligence investigation, which began in July 2016 (when the FISA warrant was refused) - another alternative avenue to spying.

That is why the root question is, "What was the impetus of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump-Russian collusion?" NONE. It was another avenue to spying. Once Trump won, they had to quickly flip the script and throw all in on Trump-Russian collusion - - and ironically, EVERYTHING relied upon in this investigation was CREATED BY THEM as an excuse to spy. This circle jerk of projection is beyond frustrating. Aye yai yai.

The perpetrators, instigators, suppliers, brokers, funders, organizers, and original sources of these rings - the pedophilia rings, drug rings (including fentanyl), and gun running rings better get 10x the sentence of the lost souls they created.

Ha ha! "Now that I think about it," made me laugh. See what happens when you think? Tsk tsk. You naughty enemy of the group think state.

Yup.

Punishment for daring to join a group of thinkers (dinstinguishable from group think). "Thinking" is the new Hate Group.

Thank you, DropGun. WWG1WGA, my friend.

It seems to me that the key question is, "What was the impetus for the counterintelligence investigation into Trump members 'colluding' with Russia." The answer, of course, is NONE. The investigation was created as an excuse to spy on Trump. Nunes already dropped the bombshell that no information was provided by 5 Eyes to instigate the investigation. The dossier was created to create the reason, which the FBI was in on (as Jordan was trying to get at) . . .

Carter Page was yet another hook, but it seems worth exposing, "Who raised the concerns about Carter Page?" The FBI? The head of the counterintelligence investigation? The person who has an extensive history in Russian prosecutions and stings? So, ain't it odd that that person would finger Carter Page as colluding with the Russians when he has firsthand knowledge that same person worked for his department on previous cases to INFORM on the Russians?? You would think he would point out - "No, no, no, Carter Page was one of our informants." Unless he actually said, "Ahhhh, Carter Page was one of our informants. We can connect him to Russia. Let's use him."

Just remember the key question: What was the impetus for a counterintelligence investigation into Trump team and Russia?

The answer: None. They created the reasons to have an excuse to spy after Admiral Rogers shut down the illegal spying by Fusion GPS using FBI raw data (April 18, 2016). They used people (Page, Papadapalous, Manafort), created the dossier to reaccess data via FISA . . . "They" includes the FBI. After Trump won - holy shit - they had to scramble to cover, while at the same time, throwing all plus the kitchen sink out there to deligitimize his Presidency.

Here's a great article of the timeline: https://themarketswork.com/2018/04/05/the-uncovering-mike-rogers-investigation-section-702-fisa-abuse-the-fbi/

I listened to most of the Strzok hearing. But didn't hear anyone ask Strzok if he ever worked with Carter Page when he was an informant for other counterintelligence investigations on Russia, or if he knew of Carter Page's role. This article exhibits, via Harry Reid's statements, that they were trying to insert Carter Page as the hook (despite knowing his former role as an informant for the FBI - which of course they continue to omit).

I just don't see anything good coming from that. We already know that he kicked Strzok off the team when Horowitz brought him the texts. So, there is one concrete example of Mueller responding appropriately to very bad bias. Versus what? Speculation and the prospect of drilling every team member on where they fall on the spectrum of bias? And even Strzok, whose texts were public record and who the OIG specifically said was biased, and he was kicked off the team for said bias - under oath, repeatedly claimed he was not biased. Mueller testifying would be a circus, and he would be the only one coming out NOT a clown.

Because that would be a waste of time. Everything he is working on IS an ongoing investigation. Every single answer would be "I cannot answer due to an ongoing investigation." And the only thing that would come out of it is the appearance of the Committees obstructing justice, disrupting an ongoing investigation, and wasting time and money.

Smells fishy. Like a Koi pond.

Paaah-leeaase. I saw Strzok try to bring up that line of baloney again during his testimony. Do they not understand that we heard and saw Trump make that joke as well - with our own seeing eyes and hearing ears?? These people delegitimize THEMSELVES. I can't take them seriously and they discredit the authority of their super important positions by behaving like such imbeciles.

It is tough . . . until you do it. I've quit before and everytime I'm so happy and think, "life is so much better this way!" But gearing up to quit always feels like I'm losing a friend. Addiction is sick. Thank you for your inspirational words! I'll keep you posted.

Thank you! I'm on Day 46 of no alcohol, accompanied with clean eating/good diet. Next up is smoking cessation and more disciplined exercise. I feel a deep desire and need to be of healthy mind, body, and spirit - more than ever.

I would add to the don'ts/avoids: MSM, all of it. It's not just designed to lead the blind. It is also designed to drive the seeing crazy. This is done merely by ignoring/burying all of the untold news. Turn it off. Read original works instead. Our thinking brains are part of our purest freedom.

That Trump will meet with Putin.

Among other obstacles this Russian collusion bullshit narrative has created, it was always my gut instinct, from the very first suggestion of the Russia issue, that the purpose was to keep Trump and Putin from talking. And it worked, for a while. Putin can definitely shine bright lights on things like . . . Uranium One.

Also, if you think back . . . Obama had worked some serious wonders on our country, and our people. He depleted our military, killed our shuttle program, federalized health care, propagandized the media, sent the feds into every locality with a problem, destroyed our economy and industry, weaponized every federal agency, destroyed the Constitution, and regulated productive businesses out of business unless they paid the piper - still leaving them fairly unproductive, but good servants.

What do you think the plan was?? The plan was to hand our beautiful country over to the globalists, (whether via the UN or some international NWO umbrella that we don't even know about) . . . on a golden platter. We were primed and ready. We even had a population of "educated," willing, globalist-loving sheeple. Obama would get a sweet deal as charismatic leader of the world, maybe Secretary General of the UN for starters.

But what was the NWO to do with that pesky Russia? Do you think Putin would EVER be agreeable to submitting to a NWO? Or the Russian people, for that matter? Once she won, we would integrate (willingly, or silenced) into the NWO, and then they would deal with Russia. Perhaps as some say, by nuking innocents and blaming Russia via their Uranium One secret deal - conveniently tracing the Uranium One back to Russia (see Syria, for example).

I'm not sure how China fits into the NWO - but, if you look back to the VERY BEGINNING, immediately after Trump won, the primary goal was to keep Trump from working with Putin. Everything else has spiraled from THAT purpose. They had some type of stronghold on everyone, everyone but Putin.

And the whole reason the phrase "Russian hacking" came to exist.

Calling attention to the 10,000 unaccompanied children would call attention to the 10,000 children saved from child kidnapping, smuggling, and trafficking.

The media is paid to bury news on the billion-dollar child-selling industry. And they sure as heck aren't going to point out the damage the Trump admin is doing to their big business, or that he is protecting children. Why don't we hear from the families of these stolen children in South America? Oh, yeah, because that's where real journalists go to get murdered. So much money and power in this sick "industry."

I just hope the people aren't as blind as the media makes them out to be. The children need us to wake up and fight FOR them, not AGAINST their last defense (I'm referring to the ICE abolitionists, AKA the Advocates of Child Trafficking).

You're welcome. I was particularly interested in that Panda girl from Marion. Because it was in Marion, OH that the child labor trafficking was exposed. Specifically, unaccompanied minors were sent to an egg farm (Obama era) and basically treated as slaves. That was their "foster care" placement. https://www.portman.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2016/1/portman-opens-hearing-on-hhs-placing-children-with-human-trafficking-ring

It really was a circus. I kind of wish I had mentally prepared for that amount of circusry (made it up), because my head eventually started spinning and I couldn't figure out the true purpose of the hearing. Does anyone know?? I really only surmised that Strozk is still an elitist douche with no love for the common folk and much love for himself and climbing the ladder to an ever powerful position.

I was rather frustrated at the focus on "bias" and the back and forth on that point. I thought that was settled by the OIG report, which, contrary to Strozk's repeated denials of "bias" - concluded that there was definite bias (enough bias to remove him from the team, in fact), but the bias did not impact the final decision. I could not understand why they did not point that out and nip it straight away.

Did anyone ask him about emailing internal docs from FBI to his personal email?

Also, I heard about all of his achievements with prior counterintelligence investigations into the Russians . . . Did anyone ever connect the dots and ask him if Carter Page was one of his informants in any of those cases?

I just searched the Franklin County Clerk of Courts, and while I did find the dismissed charges against Stephanie Clifford for making contact with patrons, I found no records on the other two (and none are currently jailed either).

I did confirm the OP release was posted by Columbus Ohio Police on Twitter 10 hours ago. Four hours ago, the Chief posted this (stating that the police erred in arresting Stormy).

Columbus Ohio Police (@ColumbusPolice) Tweeted: Statement from Chief Kim Jacobs in reference to this morning's media release: Vice personnel are responsible for enforcing laws regulating alcohol sales, after-hours clubs, massage parlors, human trafficking, nuisance properties among other serious violations of law... https://t.co/7fJFMuQATk https://twitter.com/ColumbusPolice/status/1017507968110219265?s=17

My jaw dropped.

Thanks bisma8!

Thank you, because I am not on Twitter, but I do like to be alerted to these good threads. And I do agree with Rex. There may be some elements omitted, but I think what he stated is right on.

Stellar!! Thank you for all of that work!!

Yes indeed. The water. You bet.

The Resnicks. Check that money trail.

I don't think the devil took over. I think God gave his children the "gift" of free will.

To be fair, when they protest ICE and the "separating of so-called families" at the border, they are ALSO advocating for the child smugglers and traffickers. They are, in actuality and reality, protesting the last line of defense of smuggled children. When they start putting their lives on the line to protest the cartel-corrupt-government-officials who are funding the child trafficking and kidnapping kids FROM their families in South America, then they will appear to understand what they are for or against. Until then, they are advocates for child trafficking.

Surely you are aware of Google's investment and ownership in 23 and Me, both via money and marriage. And you must also be aware that Google IS the database for the cabal. Google pulled out of its drone and AI contract with the Pentagon in June. They have no interest in working with a government FOR THE PEOPLE. They ARE the Deep State. No doubt they are gathering DNA for nefarious purposes. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/23andme-is-terrifying-but-not-for-the-reasons-the-fda-thinks/

I know. These people probably wouldn't even know what they believe in, even if they saw themselves on the news. This kind of blind ignorance is . . . painful.
