My late Friday night involved hitting refresh on PACER every so often, incurring the $0.10 charge for each search result as I waited on Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing in the Michael Sussmann case. (Exciting, I know.)
The motion exceeded expectations, discussing CIA conclusions that Sussmann was providing implausible data to federal authorities, providing CIA notes regarding their meeting with Sussmann, and confirmation that they essentially spied on President-Elect Trump.
The motion can be found here. It was filed as part of the government’s efforts to convince the court that the evidence it seeks to admit in Sussmann’s trial is relevant and admissible. Let’s go through the most important parts.
Durham provided to the Court two sets of notes related to Sussmann’s representations to the CIA. The first was from Sussmann’s January 31, 2017 contacts with a CIA employee where Sussmann discussed wanting to provide to the CIA data on “the presence and activity of a unique Russian made phone around President Trump.” It was said that this secret activity started in April 2016 and continued after Trump’s “move to the White House.”
Sussmann alleged the Russian phone (YotaPhone) was always close to Trump (“only around the President’s Movements”), surfacing at his Trump Tower Network in April 2016 and being used through Wi-Fi at Trump’s Grand Central West apartment. The phone even “appeared with Trump in Michigan” when he was interviewing a Cabinet Secretary.
At a minimum, this confirms what we reported nearly two months ago: that the Trump transition data was passed to the CIA. Yet it’s also more than that. The CIA was provided with data all the way back from April 2016.
Why does April 2016 matter? Because Russia was alleged to have hacked “the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and DNC networks in April 2016.” Recall that “Crowdstrike was contacted on April 30, 2016 to respond to a suspected breach” of the DNC.
The CIA Notes Part 2: Sussmann’s February 9, 2017 meeting with the CIA
That January 31, 2017 conference was used to schedule the February 9, 2017 meeting with the CIA. At that meeting, Sussmann repeated his allegations that a “Russian-made Yota-phone” had been seen at Trump properties and had traveled with Trump to Michigan. He further alleged that “In December 2016, the Yota-phone was seen connecting to WIFI from the Executive Office of the President (the White House).”
A brief but necessary aside: The Washington Post alleged us to have fanned “the flames” on the Sussmann/Joffe spying operation, taking us to task for stating (correctly): “They spied on Trump.” I hope the Washington Post is reading this, because the CIA notes confirm what we reported and what we told them via e-mail. Techno 1, WaPo 0.
Back to the Durham Filing – and the CIA’s analysis of the Sussmann/Joffe data.
The CIA reviewed the Trump/YotaPhone data (and the Alfa Bank data) in early 2017. The fact that the CIA accepted this data on President Trump is its own scandal. In any event, the CIA’s findings are significant, as they concluded that the data was not “technically plausible” and was “user created and not machine/tool generated.”
(I’ve been asked about the last part of that paragraph, which says the “Special Counsel’s Office has not reached a definitive conclusion in this regard.” The term “definitive conclusion” stands out, making me suspect he has “initial” conclusions on the data. Durham’s filings in this case suggest he agrees with the CIA.)
Anyway, what a finding by the CIA. Of course, this only leads to more questions:
Which “user” created the data?
Does it go back to the Joffe conspiracy?
And who else is part of that conspiracy?
For that last question, consider this revelation from a previous Durham filing:
Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he was sending another $800 million in US weapons to Ukraine. This is on top of the hundreds of millions in weapons already pledged to the country.
On Saturday The Washington Post reported on a leaked document from Biden administration. The diplomatic note was sent by Russia. In the note, Russia claimed that US and NATO shipments of weapons to Ukraine could bring “unpredictable consequences.”
Russia has formally complained to the United States over its military aid to Ukraine, warning of “unpredictable consequences” if shipments of advanced weaponry go forward, US media reported.
In a diplomatic note this week, Moscow warned the United States and NATO against sending the “most sensitive” weapons for Kyiv to use in the conflict with Russia, saying such shipments were “adding fuel” to the situation and could come with “unpredictable consequences,” the Washington Post reported.
The warning came the same week that US President Joe Biden pledged a new $800 million military aid package for Ukraine, including helicopters, howitzers and armored personnel carriers.
“What the Russians are telling us privately is precisely what we’ve been telling the world publicly — that the massive amount of assistance that we’ve been providing our Ukrainian partners is proving extraordinarily effective,” the Post quoted a senior administration official — who spoke on condition of anonymity about the note — as saying.
President Biden and Vice President Harris each gave less to charity than the average taxpayer for their level of earnings, with Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff donating far below what most in their high income bracket contribute, according to their 2021 tax returns released Friday.
The poorest Americans were far more generous than either couple.
Joe Biden has a history of giving very little to charity.
In the years before he became Vice President Biden gave less than 1% of his total income to charity.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade, his tax records show.
…
The Bidens reported giving $995 in charitable donations last year — about 0.3% of their income and the highest amount in the past decade. The low was $120 in 1999, about 0.1% of yearly income.
Over the decade, the Bidens reported a total of $3,690 in charitable donations, or 0.2% of their income.
Remember this the next time Biden and Harris call on Americans to sacrifice!
The far-left New Yorker has done it again, producing a piece of garbage that is so far from the truth that you can’t even believe someone would publish it.
The far-left is famous for fanciful stories based on far-left garbage. Before the 2020 Election, the Atlantic publication claimed that President Trump said some disparaging remarks about the military which were totally unfounded. The publication couldn’t provide the name of a single person who heard the President say what they claimed he said.
Elias told me that Trump’s machinations before the 2020 election convinced him that the President was setting the stage to undermine the outcome. “Donald Trump was lying about the accuracy of elections in advance of the 2020 election, because he was acculturating his supporters and the media to what came after,” Elias said. “By the time you get to 2019, you have a guy who’s authoritarian, does not respect democracy or democratic norms, who’s willing to break any law or rule or norm in order to keep himself in power.”
What insanity. It’s really outrageous. This is the same guy who’s trying to prevent Republicans from being on the ballot because they dared to challenge the corrupt and stolen 2020 Election.
Elias who made millions for his work was next identified as the attorney representing BLM. Of course, this organization was taken over by Democrats and ActBlue. They couldn’t let such a great opportunity for grafting go by without their hands in the cookie jar.
Elias is such a defender of democracy that he was sanctioned by Texas for ignoring a court’s ruling and attempting to pass the same case through a different court. This is the Atlantic’s purveyor of democracy.
While Twitter’s management fights to keep control of the Big Tech giant, the greatest participant of the platform, President Trump, remains banned while Iranian leaders roam free.
As we reported this week, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk made a bid for Twitter. The company appears to be more interested in its control of the platform than free speech or shareholder returns.
The latest as of yesterday was that the management of Twitter wants to keep control of the company despite the reasonably generous offer from Musk.
Meanwhile, Twitter’s management continues to censor its greatest user, President Trump while promoting Iranian leadership.
Twitter is an excellent tool. One of the best in modern times for sharing information. But the leadership of Twitter is awful. Twitter’s management promotes awful people while censoring those who promote freedom.
This week’s actions by the biased and anti-American leaders of Twitter show their true colors. They don’t appear to be concerned about their shareholders or freedom of speech. They appear to be obsessed with control.
For years now The Gateway Pundit has reported on the attempted coup against President Trump and his administration. We now know that this coup was real and involved several intelligence officials as well as the Hillary Clinton Campaign, Barack Obama, Joe Biden with the undying support from the fake news mainstream media.
Now they are caught.
Any other human being would have folded under the pressure. Not President Donald Trump. He was harassed, attacked and smeared his entire presidency by thousands of Democrats and the far left media complex. But he never folded. He excelled with record economic numbers, historic peace deals, a secure border, and an America-First foreign policy.
Now there is more evidence that the US intel community and Democrat politicians targeted president Trump after he was elected and while he was in office.
With rumors of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) retiring amid devastating midterm polling, Schiff, a conspiracy theorist and chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, is making furious moves to transplant Pelosi as House leader if she retires, according to Punchbowl News.
Schiff so covets the leadership position that he has already tried to convince fellow Democrat colleagues of the validity of his desires. To hype his potential candidacy, Schiff has touted the millions of campaign funds he has raised. Schiff has also recently attended the New Democrats’ retreat, which raised eyebrows among “several insiders [who] took particular notice” of his presence.
Schiff’s desire to become speaker of the House would be a shocking career acceleration. He has been consistently wrong on many foreign policy issues. He was most famously a strong advocate of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. Schiff argued for months that the evidence against President Donald Trump was “hiding in plain sight.” He has also fundraised off of the hoax.
It seems Pelosi would support Schiff to be the next speaker.
A 2018 article from the Los Angeles Times revealed that Pelosi had been grooming successors – one of them was Schiff.
Pelosi has quietly been grooming potential successors, among them Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank, and though she said she would be delighted to hand the speaker’s gavel to another woman — “Oh, yeah!” she exclaimed — she has no plans to try to force a choice.
Were Zuckerbucks linked to the three 330,000 vote drops for Joe Biden in Fairfax County Virginia on Election night 2020?
After the 2020 Election, The Gateway Pundit looked into the results in various states. One state that TGP explored was Virginia. We focused on that state because the results didn’t make sense. All-day and night during the Election on November 3rd, 2020, President Trump was ahead. He never was behind at any point in the day. Then late at night with President Trump still ahead, the state was called for Joe Biden. Up until that point in time, there was no indication that Biden was even in the race.
We looked into the numbers in Virginia and found something puzzling. Multiple drops of over 300,000 ballots for Joe Biden occurred.
We called this action in Virginia and other states, The Drop and Roll.
Now we are finding out that there were lots and lots of Zuckerbucks from the Facebook founder that were involved in Fairfax County, where the ballot drops occurred.
According to Capital Research, Fairfax County, the most populous county in Virginia, received a very large amount of Zuckerbucks ($1.24 million) in the 2020 Election.
Were Zuckerbucks involved in the massive ballot drops in Fairfax County on election night 2020? This needs to be investigated. Conservatives no longer have the luxury of ignoring the lawless voter grabs in battleground states. There is too much at stake today.
Italian swimmer ITALIAN swimmer Mariasofia Paparo has died following a heart attack just shy of her 28th birthday has died following a heart attack just shy of her 28th birthday
The swimmer died suddenly at the age of 27 after suffering a cardiac arrest in San Giorgio a Cremano (Naples) on Monday, April 11, according to local reports.
Her fiancé and fellow swimmer Matteo Scarpati, who had successfully proposed on March 13, paid tribute to the woman he planned to marry.
“You were an angel who changed my life by giving me the strength to do things that I never could think about doing,” he said on Facebook.
“You taught me true love, you taught me to smile and be happy again. We had a life ahead and you left like that. I loved you from the first day I saw you, you made me struggle to conquer you, but then you agreed to live this fantastic adventure together and you gave me the best two years of my life.
On April 9th, the Associated Press was leaked a story from the national security state which has the following narrative legend: Vladimir Putin will interfere in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections against the Democrats because of the Biden Administration’s support for Ukraine.
To those who have followed this saga since the 2014 Ukraine coup, this leak means an operation by the national security state to minimize Democratic losses in the midterms while securing the election of Uniparty Republicans and crippling Donald Trump’s MAGA movement is already underway.
As we develop below, full-spectrum information warfare –fake narratives coupled with absolute censorship of opposing views and targeting of key individuals for harassment, social ostracism, and prosecution—psywar techniques which amount to an attempt at mind control—are the central part of their strategy, The same “strategy” is being used right now in Ukraine with lethal results. Actual Nazis in Ukraine who key members of Congress and even Facebook condemned as the British and the CIA trained and funded for the purpose of running a long insurgency against Russia, are now hailed as the heroes of Mariupol, their actual headquarters.
Neo-Cons like Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland’s husband, argue that re-discovering our role as the hegemon, the ruler of the world, means escalating in Ukraine and a direct war with Russia, a policy the British have been trying to sell to us for years. Matt Taibbi has listed all the recent pronouncements of this madness from Washington over at Substack. It is well worth paying the money to get beyond his paywall.
Barack Obama will be the public face for popularizing this operation. Joe Biden’s coterie of fools can’t sell it.
Other aspects of this operation are also rapidly becoming visible. Attempts to prosecute Donald Trump, both through the rogue January 6th Committee and through the ongoing investigations in New York are being geared up. Liz Cheney appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday April 10th to proclaim that the January 6th Committee had enough evidence to refer Donald Trump for criminal prosecution. At the same time a campaign began against Attorney General Merrick Garland by Democratic activists. They called for his firing because he has not prosecuted Donald Trump already for January 6th.
Simultaneously, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg announced that his investigation of Donald Trump on various state charges was proceeding, despite the resignation of the two mercenary prosecutors former DA Cyrus Vance brought in to create the case. Bragg had previously expressed his discomfort about where the two clearly biased prosecutors were going and disagreed with their strategy, resulting in their resignations. New York State Attorney General Letica James, who campaigned for her office almost solely on the claim that she would prosecute Trump is seeking $10,000 a day fines against Trump for alleged failures to cooperate in her parallel civil investigation.
The lawfare Democrats are trying to use the same concocted reading of the 14th Amendment in these disqualification cases that they tried to use in Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial where they sought Trump’s disqualification. The hyperbolic claim is that by challenging the election, the lawmakers participated in an “insurrection” against the U.S. government. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment which barred Confederates who previously served in the U.S. military, were federal officers or state officials from serving in public office unless the U.S. Congress removed their disability is the central legal peg for this concoction.
The initial effort against Cawthorn was blocked by a federal judge in North Carolina but the effort against Greene is now proceeding in a federal court in Georgia with a liberal federal judge who has “doubts” about the North Carolina ruling.
Right on cue, Barack Obama danced fully back into public view last week, claiming the recent discovery that Russian and other “disinformation” is the major crisis of our time and, accordingly, his major preoccupation, and that it requires even more censorship and “help” for beleaguered and allegedly stupid Americans to properly frame their thoughts. Obama staged his public coming out party through a conference on disinformation at the University of Chicago, cosponsored by Atlantic Magazine. The Atlantic has been a major purveyor of the Russiagate hoax and other defamation campaigns against Trump and others who they accuse of “wrong think.”
Major speakers included Anne Applebaum who writes for the Atlantic and is also a critical player in the globalist push to strengthen “democracy” against “autocrats’ –the current Manichean framework backed by the US nuclear arsenal for establishing a “New World Order.” Applebaum got exposed back in 2018 as a key player in the British Integrity Initiative, an organization funded by the British government and NATO to produce black propaganda against Russia and to sell the idea of a war with Russia to the American population. You can read LaRouche PAC’s coverage of the Integrity Initiative here.
Obama is hardly a newly serious student of the business of pushing lies and government created propaganda to the population, although his PR handlers attempted to portray him as a fascinated student of foreign disinformation techniques. Obama is close fellow traveler of Cass Sunstein who worked in the Obama Administration on shutting down free speech on the internet under the rubric of preventing “disinformation.” Sunstein has argued for using the FBI to covertly enter internet chatrooms and steer the conversation in the “right direction.” That is what Obama means by “better angels”—covert actions by government actors for the proper “thought.”
All of this is a hysterical and defensive response to a citizenry which has had enough of the present rulers of this nation. All across the country, citizens are getting active in politics, many for the first time. They believe the country is being deliberately destroyed by Washington and they have to step up. They know they were lied to about COVID and their kids suffer from psychological and learning difficulties both from the lockdowns and the decadent gender fluidity and other propaganda dominating the schools. They know the November 2020 election was rigged. They see rampant crime and what appears to be the deliberate targeted poisoning of the young by Fentanyl, a byproduct of the now open southern border.
But most of all, the cascading inflation flowing from the Biden/Federal Reserve money printing, the Biden war on energy, and, now, the Ukraine sanctions has made them question whether they or their families can even survive. Recent surveys posit that “food stamps” is the most popular search term on the internet. It is this revolt which produced the upsets in the 2021 Virginia governors’ race, and almost saw a Republican win the race for governor in the deep blue state of New Jersey. That same New Jersey election also saw the victory of an unknown and unfinanced candidate, Ed Durr, over NJ Senate leader Steve Sweeney, the second most powerful politician in that state.
The AP leak about the midterms followed a week in which the premier prosecution of the Biden Justice Department, the so-called Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, went down in flames when a jury in Michigan acquitted two of four defendants and could not reach a verdict on the other two once the trial judge allowed the defense to tell the jury about FBI entrapment in the case. At the same time, the first outright acquittal of a January 6th defendant occurred in a bench trial in Washington, D.C., based on videos showing Capitol police waving the defendant, Matthew Martin, into the Capitol.
Also in Michigan on April 2nd, Donald Trump held a rally involving thousands. He directly and successfully intervened there to ensure that his candidates for Attorney General and Secretary of State were not derailed by Republican turncoats. In North Carolina, Trump’s endorsed candidate for the U.S. Senate, Ted Budd, has come from behind and is now the front runner in the state. On April 9th, Trump’s rally in Selma, North Carolina again attracted thousands.
The Michigan rally, and its significance in this battleground state produced hysterical press coverage in both the Washington Post and London’s Guardian. Both rags claimed that a plot by Trump was underway to place compliant citizens into the election machinery in order to rig the midterm elections. Both rags have been central to the effort to destroy Trump and his MAGA movement ever since the 2016 election.
As the British House of Lords put it in their 2018 screed, “British Foreign Policy in a Shifting World Order,” the London centered modern British Empire could contain and handle Trump for one term, but all bets were off if Trump secured a second term. As with the Russiagate hoax, the British went all in to defeat Trump and have interfered in our domestic affairs far more than Russia could even imagine. LaRouche PAC covered this topic extensively back in 2019 in a three part series.
Against this backdrop, with the revolt in the population only increasing in intensity and the apparent failure of every operation they have thrown against Trump and the millions of Americans who support him to date, it’s clear why Biden and the British needed and provoked the Ukraine war. There is a potential for a third American economic revolution once this aroused and awake population discovers the unique American System of economy –created and implemented by Alexander Hamilton, used fully again by Abraham Lincoln to win the Civil War and launch a scientific and industrial revolution in its wake, and employed against the oligarchy and its central bankers by Franklin Roosevelt in his war mobilization. Substantively advanced by Lyndon LaRouche’s writings and discoveries, the American System is the unique and only key to rapid economic recovery now.
So, resorting to the tried and true tactic of all failing empires throughout history, the British and their American satraps have manufactured a ”vile,” “demonic” and “foreign” enemy who the population should target with their rage.
Domestically, the war furthers the “split” in the Republican party between those in Washington who seem to seek war almost by reflex and the base of the Party which responded enthusiastically to Trump’s call to end all of America’s forever wars. The idea is that appeals to patriotism in the base coupled with a parade of Russian atrocities will forever recapture Trump’s voters for Washington or, at the least, by demoralizing Trump supporters, destroy the possibility of a Republican sweep in the midterms. Put simply, rev up popular rage at Putin and then run a repeat of all of the Russiagate lies about Trump in this changed context.
Following this format, the New York Times Sunday Magazine on April 11th, published a long interview with Trump NSC traitor Fiona Hill which simply repeats every claim made in Russiagate without the qualification that all of these claims have been proven to be lies invented by the Clinton Campaign in conjunction with British and Obama Administration intelligence officials. Hill herself is an appropriate subject for investigation by John Durham as she is personal friends with MI6’s Christopher Steele, who authored the dirty dossier against Trump. Steele’s main subsource Ihor Danchenko, now indicted by Durham, worked closely with Hill at the Brookings Institute. Hill introduced Danchenko to Steele. None of this, of course, is noted by the so-called “newspaper of record.”
But none of this will work, if it is exposed and if Trump and his allies succeed in building a constituency for American System economics among the thousands of potential leaders who are now mobilizing themselves. As Abraham Lincoln famously said, you can’t fool all the people all the time, particularly with an aroused population declaring that they have had it with the current leaders of both parties in Washington. Lincoln is right because humans are not beasts. They can change their habits and thoughts. Central to the psywar strategy is the idea that humans exhibit fixed and static behaviors which can be predicted and controlled.
As we have previously reported, the current NATO playbook says that “cognitive warfare” against both foreign enemies and domestic populations –open attempts at mind control –is the premier game in modern warfare. Not logistics in depth, not strong economies, not superior culture and intellect, the actual sources of victories in war. Since the current NATO countries display none of these traits, they have resorted to fantasy and fairy tales. Patrick Lawrence has documented this mind control strategy straight out of the NATO manual announcing the doctrine.
NATO, in turn, is led by the British whose 77th Military Brigade, focused on perception management and psychological warfare has been operating on the ground in Ukraine since 2015. It is not accidental that the two doyens of Biden’s “foreign policy,” Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken, are firmly in the grip of the European globalist agenda. Before his current gig at the NSC, Sullivan worked for Macro Advisory Partners, a British firm led by the former head of MI6, John Sawers. Blinken is famously a francophone and committed globalist. In their infantile arrogance they have absolute disdain for the American population and aspire to turn this country more “European.”
The false claims cited by the NBC report include claims about impending chemical weapons attacks, about Russian plans to orchestrate a false flag in the Donbas to justify an invasion, about Putin’s advisors misinforming him, and about Russia seeking arms from China. As Caitlin Johnstone documents over at Consortium News, the reason for this extraordinary confession seems to be to condition the population to cheer about being lied to as a necessary part of warfare. It seems that accepting bushels of lies from your own government is part of being a worthy citizen.
That is not to say that Russians in Ukraine have not committed civilian atrocities. War is like that. The problem is that the complete information warfare operation being waged by the United States, Britain, and the information warriors of Ukraine make it impossible for any neutral party to investigate or to ascertain the truth.
What can be said definitively is that those who provoked the war in Ukraine imagine that country’s future solely as a vassal state in a permanent war with Russia down to the last Ukrainian. They are blocking any attempt at negotiations for peace. Future historians will find, at the very least, that these Uniparty Washington politicians and their British intellectual masters– the ones who posture endlessly about Ukrainian bravery and supplying more arms, engineered the slaughter of the Ukrainian people while risking the nuclear obliteration of the human race. They must all be changed or defeated if this nation is to be saved.
