My God, CNN is beyond disgusting in it's approach. No interest in any truth whatsoever. It's a 24/7 Trump bashathon and they don't ever care that their ratings are suffering big time because of it.

 

Zucker must be damn proud of himself over there.

 

CNN used to be good............... before the Iraq war.

 

They aren't in it for ratings, that's what is scary.

Donald Trump is a lot of things, but one of those things is the first POTUS in history to openly take on Big Pharma (while being the first not to take their money). I wondered why this story, which used to be a mainstay of the progressive left as recently as Sanders' campaign, doesn't get any traction in the media.

There's a very interesting connection, in the form of Dmitri Alperovitch, that really causes one to wonder about how the Chinese got that intel. 

With the Chinese angle, anyone seen anything solid on this yet?

From your link:

 

The embattled Page tossed James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Bill Priestap among others under the Congressional bus, alleging the upper echelon of the FBI concealed intelligence confirming Chinese state-backed ‘assets’ had illegally acquired former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 30,000+ “missing” emails, federal sources said.

The Russians didn’t do it. The Chinese did, according to well-placed FBI sources.

And while Democratic lawmakers and the mainstream media prop up Russia as America’s boogeyman, it was the ironically Chinese who acquired Hillary’s treasure trove of classified and top secret intelligence from her home-brewed private server.

 

And a public revelation of that magnitude — publicizing that a communist world power intercepted Hillary’s sensitive and top secret emails — would have derailed Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes. Overnight. But it didn’t simply because it was concealed.

FBI bosses knew of the breach yet did nothing to investigate, seemingly trying to run out the clock on the alarming revelations to protect Hillary during her heated presidential campaign with Trump. So instead of investigating the hacking of Clinton’s server, FBI bosses sat quietly.

And did nothing to confirm the Chinese assets were linked to their government. Or assess the damage such a tremendous breach posed to national security. Did the Chinese government access Hillary’s emails? The FBI didn’t care enough to investigate at the risk of besmirching Clinton and further soiling her during the election.

 

Hundreds of top secret documents and even the president’s daily travel and security itineraries were on that server — and intercepted by a communist country — yet the FBI sat on the evidence. Likewise, all of Clinton’s and her inner circle’s outgoing emails were compromised as well, sources confirmed.

 

Even the Inspector General had tipped off the FBI — specifically Strzok — about the foreign breach. Still, no timely case was pursued

Enter the Dragon

 

The Strzok hearing was a lot of things, but boring was not one of them. Representative Gohmert made headlines with his comments about Strzok's infidelity that drew outrage from the dais and provided one of the more bizarre moments of the entire hearing, but it also obscured one of the more interesting revelations of the day. Not coincidentally, that revelation happened immediately before Gohmert pivoted to Strzok and Page's affair. I've never been a huge fan of the man, but he was a pit bull in that hearing and it's clear he was focused on one central issue. The clip is cued up to the relevant question, but the whole thing is worth the time. There's a lot that can be said for Strzok's body language and reaction during this segment, particularly when he starts to get help from the dais.  

 

Listen carefully to what Gohmert is saying:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The IC Inspector General discovered an "anomaly" that allowed nearly all of SecState's Clinton's emails to go to  "an unauthorized source that was a foreign entity entirely unrelated to Russia." Gohmert, while doing an interview the next day, referred to that foreign entity specifically as an "enemy". An enemy entirely unrelated to Russia. There are more than a few nations that might fit that bill, but the likely culprit was China. And there's evidence to back that up, including what Lisa Page is apparently telling Congress behind closed doors (A). 

 

First, let's really understand what Gohmert is describing from the classified section of the IG report. He's describing a private communication system established between then Secretary of State Clinton and President Obama. Why the two would need a private communication network other than to conceal information from both oversight and the public? There's no other reason and that alone is incredibly strange, not to mention dangerous considering the numerous bad actors out there who would love nothing more than access to highly classified information passed between the President and his SecState, including SAPs - the most sensitive of all our classified programs. 

 

There must be an understanding that China's cyber-operations and capability equal, if not far exceed, that of the GRU and the Russian IC. China has been at the cutting edge of cyber warfare for over a decade. The cyber threat posed by China dwarfs that of any other nation state aside from our own. Starting in the late 1990s into 2004, Chinese PLA cyber warriors launched an operation that US officials would come to call "Titian Rain" (1) which (likely) resulted in China's theft of advanced systems and platforms from Lockheed Martin and other defense contractors. This was followed up by a series of sustained attacks on corporate targets in 2006, and unconfirmed reports Chinese actors attempted to hack both the McCain and Obama campaigns in 2008. 

 

By the time Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in office in 2009, the intelligence community as well as the general public were well aware of China's cyber intrusions, and STILL Obama and Hillary thought it was a good idea to have a private, off the grid (even from the defense capabilities of the USIC) comms and use those comes while in the territory of the most aggressive and technically capable adversary in the world. Was that simply hubris? Or something more insidious? I can only speculate as to the motives for the time being, but what we can see without question is that the entire nature of China's cyber-playbook changed after 2009 when they likely got inside Clinton's server. By mid 2009, following Clinton's first overseas trip as SecState, the pattern of these Chinese cyber intrusions became much more targeted and destructive.

 

Consider the following timeline: 

 

* January 21, 2009: Clinton is confirmed as SecState. She had been running a private, unsecured server since 2008 - by unsecured I mean it was unencrypted until March 29,2009 (2). That means the server was an open door to even semi-competent technical actors. 

 

* February 16-18, 2009: Clinton wraps up her Asian tour in China, where she intended on pressing them on human rights issues (3). According to the IG report, Clinton was communicating with President Obama on this server while in the territory of a foreign adversary (4). That adversary was unnamed in the public report, but it almost certainly was China and happened during this trip:

 



 

 

 

The information on that server, even before she was SecState, would have been a treasure trove for foreign intelligence services. It had all the Clinton Foundation information, campaign information, donor information, corporate partners (including Silicon Valley giants like Google and Yahoo) et al. But once HRC became SecState and the nation's most sensitive classified programs began flowing through this unsecured server, the information available to any technical actor capable of penetrating that server would be priceless - especially if you could penetrate the server and remain there, undetected for years. And it seems, that's exactly what the Chinese did.

 

Any American businessman who goes to China is briefed on the likelihood that their hotel rooms are under surveillance. It's an acknowledged fact of doing business in China that you must take extra precautions to protect your IP and electronic devices. There's no question that the Secretary of State was given these same warnings and instructions - and yet Clinton was openly communicating on an unencrypted server while inside Chinese territory. There's no doubt these communications were scooped up. There's no doubt those communications would expose the unsecured server to Chinese cyber assets - and be too juicy of a target for the PLA to pass up. So, they penetrated her server  and just sucked up everything that went through it for all four years of her tenure as SecState - every email, every email address, every document, every SAP... it would be the intelligence breach of a lifetime.  

 

And what starts to happen in March of 2009? China changes their cyber tactics to a more "blunt force hacking" approach. Again, speculating here, but given the information we now have about the server and what was on it at the time, could that change in priorities be because the Chinese were suddenly flooded with hundreds of new contacts and email addresses of corporate and private interests communicating with the Secretary of State? Anyone communicating with the Clintons, their foundation, the DNC, or the State Department were leaving a digital trail for the Chinese to target. 

 

Please take time to review the following timeline of Chinese cyber attacks compiled by the LA Times:

 

http://timelines.latimes.com/la-fg-china-cyber-disclosures-timeline/

 

Notice the first round of attacks (going by this "alternate" timeline) focused on Google and other Silicon Valley giants - all major donors to Clinton's 2008 campaign, not to mention their ties to both the MiC and USIC. The Google attack is of particular interest because we know both Clinton and Obama were communicating via Gmail using pseudonyms (5). The wave of Chinese cyber attacks crested in 2012 with the OPM hack - which exposed the security clearances and background checks of every government employee, including those working in the clandestine services (6). To this day we still don't know exactly how much the Chinese got from this hack, but the national security implications are staggering to consider. 

 

Let's step back and examine an earlier attack in 2011. Why? Because it's probable that this was the point in our timeline when Clinton realized the full nature of the breach and what had been exposed and began to implement damage control. I'll explain... 

 

In 2011, McAfree announces they've uncovered an operation called 'Shady Rat' (7) which launched from China and attacked multiple US and foreign corporate targets. The McAfree analyst who wrote the report on Shady Rat, a report which made him a household name in certain circles, was Dmitri Alperovich. The attack itself was not without controversy, as both Kaspersky CEO and founder of Kaspersky Labs said of McAfree's analysis: 

 

Quote

"We conducted detailed analysis of the Shady Rat botnet and its related malware and can conclude that reality of the matter (especially technical specifics) differs greatly from the conlcusions made by Mr. Alperovitch ... We consider those conclusions to be largely unfounded and not a good measure of the real threat level ... (W)e cannot concede that the McAfree analyst was not aware of the groundlessness of the conclusions, leading us to being able to flag the report as alarmist due to its deliberate spreading of misrepresented information." (8)

 

Kaspersky was not alone in their questioning of Alperovitch's work. Symantec - the maker of Norton Anti-Virus software - shared Kaspersky's concerns. Despite his peers publicly stating Alperovitch was deliberately spreading misinformation about the nature of the Shady Rat attack, Dmitri was showered with praise by the media for his report. Starting with the Washington Post when Ellen Nakashima wrote a fawning story about Alperovitch's work (9) - remember that name, we'll be returning to Ellen. 

 

Alperovitch leveraged the reputation he built off the back of Shady Rat to form his own company: CROWDSTRIKE. This began by first promoting Crowdsourced Reverse Engineering (CrowdRe), a free collaborate malware assessment tool. Dmitri was showered with praise, selected by MIT Technology Review as a "Young Innovator Under 35" and named by Foreign Policy as one of "The Top 100 Global Thinkers" in 2013 - largely on the reputation built in the media from his 2011 Shady Rat report. 

 

In 2013, Crowdstrike secured $30 million in Series B funding from Accel Partners and Warbus Pinkus. A funny thing happens, Clinton connections to CrowdStrike's funding start popping up all over the place. Starting in 2012 when Bill Clinton's Sr Economic Adviser Bo Cutter joined Warbus Pinkus - an event lauded by Cheryl Mills (10). Chelsea Clinton and Accel partner Sonali De Rycker joined the board of InterActiveCorp in September of 2011 - a board of just 14 members which include IAC Chief Barry Diller and former Disney CEO Michael Eisner (11). The Clintons are connected directly to both sources of CrowdStrike's Series B funding... it's all a coincidence, I'm sure. 

 

I speculate that it's possible that Shady Rat was penetrated for two specific reasons: 1) to build up a narrative that could be exploited for the personal benefit of Dmitri Alperovitch, George Kurtz, and Gregg Marston - the former McAfree executives who funded CrowdStrike, 2) To mask the Chinese penetration of the Clinton server. CrowdStrike was funded by companies with one degree of separation from Clinton and were quickly absorbed into the bowels of the DNC and its upper echelon, becoming their go-to cyber fixers. When one goes through Alperovitch's CV, the connections jump out: in addition to Shady Rat and the DCCC/DNC hacks, Alperovitch wrote the report into Operation Aurora in 2012 which was a Chinese hack into Google - which likely was aided by the Chinese penetration of the Clinton server (12).

 

This relationship really bore fruit in 2016 when the DCCC/DNC servers were "hacked".  When the DNC became aware of the hack in April, an emergency meeting was held between Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Amy Dacey, DNC's Technology Director Andrew Brown, and Michael Sussman a Perkins Coie lawyer. Sussman took control of the meeting, focusing on what he said were the three most important questions: what data was accessed, how was it done, how can it be stopped. Who did it was NOT one of the central questions at the time. It took four days for Sussman and the DNC to bring in an outside vendor to investigate. Shawn Henry at CrowdStrike was the first person contacted by Sussman. 

 

The FBI initially wanted access to the server but the DNC refused and kicked them out of their offices when the request was made. Instead, after meeting with Shawn Henry (former FBI) and Alperovitch, the DNC and CrowdStrike devised a plan to make the story public themselves. Alperovitch prepared a technical report that fingered the Russians for the hack. When the report was completed, the DNC called in the Washington Post to do a front page story on the breach in June of 2016. The reporter called in to do the story was given full access to CrowdStrike and the DNC. Which reporter was it? You guessed it, Dmitri's old chum Ellen Nakashima (13). What are the odds that the exact same reporter at the WaPo who made Alperovitch famous, enabling him to break off from McAfree and set up CrowdStrike, would be the same reporter five years later given private access to the first big story of Alpervotich's own company? Crazy how closely nit this circle is, isn't it? 

 

Sure does seem like good 'ol Dmitri shows up every time there's an investigation into Clinton connected cyber attacks. And while I admit this connection is held together by supposition until more of Lisa Page's testimony can be confirmed, but in light of the now known Chinese intrusion into her unencrypted (at the time) server it's rather compelling. And alarming. Adding more fuel to this speculation is the democrats on the Hill refusal to even acknowledge China as a cyber thread. Note what happened just this morning in a hearing on China:

 

 

Why does the DNC establishment want to keep our focus off China and on Russia? I posit it's because the Chinese penetration of Clinton's server is an open secret inside the DNC and they're doing all they can to keep the Russian narrative on life support, lest the true crimes be exposed. 

 

And make no mistake, people have died because of this breach. The entire USIC HUMINT operation inside China was wiped out in the past few years (14). And while much of the blame for those killings is being foisted on Jerry Chun Shing Lee (who is involved and guilty) you cannot rule out the information was also taken from Clinton's servers, or from the OPM hack which also likely was aided by Chinese access into the Secretary of State's private and illegal communications. 

 

There is much more to say about this subject, but this has gone on long enough for one post. 

 

I'll be back later today with a Part Two: The Iran/Strzok connections.

Deep state holding back the President!

President Trump told CNBC he’s “not thrilled” the U.S. central bank under Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is continuing to raise interest rates, suggesting they may undercut his efforts to grow the economy.

“I don’t like all of this work that we’re putting into the economy and then I see rates going up,” he said.

Presidents have long declined to comment on the Fed’s actions, out of respect for the independence of the institution. CNBC released details of the Trump interview in a story on its website Thursday.

“Now I’m just saying the same thing that I would have said as a private citizen,” Trump said, according to CNBC. “So somebody would say, ‘Oh, maybe you shouldn’t say that as president. I couldn’t care less what they say, because my views haven’t changed.”

Let's step back and examine an earlier attack in 2011. Why? Because it's probable that this was the point in our timeline when Clinton realized the full nature of the breach and what had been exposed and began to implement damage control. I'll explain... 

 

In 2011, McAfree announces they've uncovered an operation called 'Shady Rat' (7) which launched from China and attacked multiple US and foreign corporate targets. The McAfree analyst who wrote the report on Shady Rat, a report which made him a household name in certain circles, was Dmitri Alperovich. The attack itself was not without controversy, as both Kaspersky CEO and founder of Kaspersky Labs said of McAfree's analysis: 

 

 

Kaspersky was not alone in their questioning of Alperovitch's work. Symantec - the maker of Norton Anti-Virus software - shared Kaspersky's concerns. Despite his peers publicly stating Alperovitch was deliberately spreading misinformation about the nature of the Shady Rat attack, Dmitri was showered with praise by the media for his report. Starting with the Washington Post when Ellen Nakashima wrote a fawning story about Alperovitch's work (9) - remember that name, we'll be returning to Ellen. 

 

Alperovitch leveraged the reputation he built off the back of Shady Rat to form his own company: CROWDSTRIKE. This began by first promoting Crowdsourced Reverse Engineering (CrowdRe), a free collaborate malware assessment tool. Dmitri was showered with praise, selected by MIT Technology Review as a "Young Innovator Under 35" and named by Foreign Policy as one of "The Top 100 Global Thinkers" in 2013 - largely on the reputation built in the media from his 2011 Shady Rat report. 

 

In 2013, Crowdstrike secured $30 million in Series B funding from Accel Partners and Warbus Pinkus. A funny thing happens, Clinton connections to CrowdStrike's funding start popping up all over the place. Starting in 2012 when Bill Clinton's Sr Economic Adviser Bo Cutter joined Warbus Pinkus - an event lauded by Cheryl Mills (10). Chelsea Clinton and Accel partner Sonali De Rycker joined the board of InterActiveCorp in September of 2011 - a board of just 14 members which include IAC Chief Barry Diller and former Disney CEO Michael Eisner (11). The Clintons are connected directly to both sources of CrowdStrike's Series B funding... it's all a coincidence, I'm sure. 

 

I speculate that it's possible that Shady Rat was penetrated for two specific reasons: 1) to build up a narrative that could be exploited for the personal benefit of Dmitri Alperovitch, George Kurtz, and Gregg Marston - the former McAfree executives who funded CrowdStrike, 2) To mask the Chinese penetration of the Clinton server. CrowdStrike was funded by companies with one degree of separation from Clinton and were quickly absorbed into the bowels of the DNC and its upper echelon, becoming their go-to cyber fixers. When one goes through Alperovitch's CV, the connections jump out: in addition to Shady Rat and the DCCC/DNC hacks, Alperovitch wrote the report into Operation Aurora in 2012 which was a Chinese hack into Google - which likely was aided by the Chinese penetration of the Clinton server (12).

 

This relationship really bore fruit in 2016 when the DCCC/DNC servers were "hacked".  When the DNC became aware of the hack in April, an emergency meeting was held between Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Amy Dacey, DNC's Technology Director Andrew Brown, and Michael Sussman a Perkins Coie lawyer. Sussman took control of the meeting, focusing on what he said were the three most important questions: what data was accessed, how was it done, how can it be stopped. Who did it was NOT one of the central questions at the time. It took four days for Sussman and the DNC to bring in an outside vendor to investigate. Shawn Henry at CrowdStrike was the first person contacted by Sussman. 

 

The FBI initially wanted access to the server but the DNC refused and kicked them out of their offices when the request was made. Instead, after meeting with Shawn Henry (former FBI) and Alperovitch, the DNC and CrowdStrike devised a plan to make the story public themselves. Alperovitch prepared a technical report that fingered the Russians for the hack. When the report was completed, the DNC called in the Washington Post to do a front page story on the breach in June of 2016. The reporter called in to do the story was given full access to CrowdStrike and the DNC. Which reporter was it? You guessed it, Dmitri's old chum Ellen Nakashima (13). What are the odds that the exact same reporter at the WaPo who made Alperovitch famous, enabling him to break off from McAfree and set up CrowdStrike, would be the same reporter five years later given private access to the first big story of Alpervotich's own company? Crazy how closely nit this circle is, isn't it? 

 

Sure does seem like good 'ol Dmitri shows up every time there's an investigation into Clinton connected cyber attacks. And while I admit this connection is held together by supposition until more of Lisa Page's testimony can be confirmed, but in light of the now known Chinese intrusion into her unencrypted (at the time) server it's rather compelling. And alarming. Adding more fuel to this speculation is the democrats on the Hill refusal to even acknowledge China as a cyber thread. Note what happened just this morning in a hearing on China:

 

 

Why does the DNC establishment want to keep our focus off China and on Russia? I posit it's because the Chinese penetration of Clinton's server is an open secret inside the DNC and they're doing all they can to keep the Russian narrative on life support, lest the true crimes be exposed. 

 

And make no mistake, people have died because of this breach. The entire USIC HUMINT operation inside China was wiped out in the past few years (14). And while much of the blame for those killings is being foisted on Jerry Chun Shing Lee (who is involved and guilty) you cannot rule out the information was also taken from Clinton's servers, or from the OPM hack which also likely was aided by Chinese access into the Secretary of State's private and illegal communications. 

 

There is much more to say about this subject, but this has gone on long enough for one post. 

 

I'll be back later today with a Part Two: The Iran/Strzok connections.

(Full disclaimer: This is a long read. If I had more time, I would have written less. Skepticism is welcomed and encouraged, I'm not trying to preach to a choir nor posit speculation as fact -- the very nature of this topic demands speculation to some degree. Rather, I'm trying to start a conversation about a very serious subject that, no doubt, will be viewed by some as anything but. Discernment is the key, and to quote a far wiser man: 'it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.' Let the conversation begin...)

 

 

Introduction:

 

Since at least July of 2016 (and I would argue since at least 2011) the Deep State has clearly, and loudly, been at war with itself. This war has bled through to the mainstream in various ways and stories from the coverage of Brexit, to Trump's victory and its ensuing fallout, to the proxy wars in Syria and the Ukraine, to the build up of forces in the South China Sea. We've seen bold assassinations, blatant false flags, extensive disinformation campaigns, and at least two attempted coups originating from within the IC of the United States -- all within just the past three months.

 

As crazy as it's already been, recent weeks have seen a major uptick in the madness. There has been a clear and obvious escalation of this secret war, including the possible deployment of highly advanced, and highly secret, weaponry -- which would be a clear sign that the gloves have officially come off.

 

And this appears to just be the opening salvo... Things are about to get a whole lot nastier.

 

While this Deep State war is not being talked about in the mainstream media, nor is it acknowledged publicly by any heads of state, it is nonetheless the driving force of our current geopolitics and world events. Ignoring it, or denying its reality, binds us to a state of inaction and confusion. And inaction on this matter is death. Not just of the individual, but also of our principles.

 

We are currently at a major crossroads as a civilization, not just as a country or system of government, but as a people. The way forward can only be found if we are operating from a place of truth and kindness, not disinformation and fear. Much of that truth has been meticulously hidden from us and can only be found by doing the work yourself. No one is going to do the work for you. Not the mainstream media, not the alternative media, certainly not your elected officials and representatives -- they all have skin in this secret and ongoing war whether they know it or not. It requires a great deal of discernment, time, and patience to sort the fiction from the truth. All of which are dwindling commodities in our modern world filled with electronic distractions.

 

The aim of this thread is to cut through that disinformation and shine a light on the conflict going on behind the curtain. The powers that be have been stealing the planet out from under us for decades, slicing the pie up into smaller and smaller pieces between themselves. But now that there's no more pie left to slice, these factions have begun to turn on one another.

 

War isn't coming. It's already here and will only escalate as we move through 2017.

 

Despite this bleak declaration, there's actually a sliver of hope to be found. This infighting between factions of the Deep State has created an opening for us, the people, to finally retake control of our minds, cities, states, countries, and planet. But that requires us to realize the truth of our reality and the opportunity this conflict has presented us. We must stand together and loudly protest against those who wish to continue the decades of deceit and genocidal madness that's enriched the few at the expense of the many. Make no mistake, this is about "us versus them", but it's not about politics. It's not about republicans and democrats. It's not about race. It's not about creed or religion.

 

It's about the light versus the darkness.

 

This is as much of a spiritual battle as it is a physical one which is why bullets won't win this war, only love and truth shall prevail. Sounds cheesy and hippy-dippy, I know. But it doesn't make it any less accurate. You simply cannot get a positive from a negative.

 

There will be a great temptation to view one side of this shadow war as the "good guys" and one side as the "bad guys". Tribalism runs deep and has been a tool of these factions for centuries to keep us divided and ignorant. The truth is both sides are working against our better interests. There aren't white hats and black hats within the Deep State. There is, however, a growing number of worker bees within the Deep State who have had enough of the status quo and are taking advantage of this infighting to distribute the truth to the masses. A last minute penance of sorts. These are the only heroes in this fight and even they are anti-heroes at best.

 

None of what will follow is a condemnation of every single person in our cornerstone institutions or our national government, nor is it a call to burn the system down. It is merely a condemnation of the few giving the marching orders -- and those people are hardly publicly known and rarely operate out in the open. None of the following is meant to support the "west" or "the rest" or any such reductionist interpretation.

 

My side is with humanity as a whole and the unfiltered truth as best we can discern it.

 

The Players:

 

Before we can really dig in, we must first better define the Deep State and which factions are warring with which. The mistake most people make when researching the Deep State's existence is to assume it's monolithic in structure: one group of individuals behind the scenes working in concert to steer world events in their favor. This has never been true and has in fact been a tool used to keep people from taking this topic seriously. The Deep State is instead comprised of many competing factions whose interests often don't align other than their desire to remain in the shadows.

 

The Deep State is better described as a mafia with different families, each with their own agenda, methods, and means.

 

Put in the most simple form, the war we are witnessing today is an ideological one pitting the Unipolar Globalists against the Mulipolarists. Both of these ideological factions are themselves divided and comprised of a multitude of subsets with their own goals, and both of these factions are represented across multiple agencies, nations, and corporations around the globe. Trying to reduce them down to one nation, one ideology, one agency, or one controlling group would be a disservice to the truth and a waste of time.

 

Since the early 1990s, if not the early 1940s, the Unipolarist Globalist faction (Globalists for sake of brevity) of this Deep State mafia has been firmly in control. That wasn't a huge problem for any of the other competing mafias comprising the Deep State since there were more than enough spoils to go around. With the Globalists in charge and the other factions reduced to the role of remora fish, there were still plenty of profits to be had as the world's wealth and resources were systematically condensed into fewer and fewer hands over the course of the 20th century.

 

Yet, the pie can only be sliced so thin before some groups begin to feel left out.

 

The Globalist agenda stripped the wealth from the lower and middle classes systematically around the world, the most recent thievery taking place with the crash of '07. The events of '07 not only angered the population as austerity measures were forced on much of Europe and America, but they also reduced the amount of the peoples' disposable income. Income that had previously been funneled to other factions of this Deep State mafia in the form of recreational gambling, drugs, and other such vices.

 

Whether or not this dwindling pie was the motivation or whether it simply gave the other factions the opportunity to rebel against the Unipolarist ideology is anyone's guess at this time. However this war started, what is undeniable is that the Globalist faction is under severe attack from at least one other faction of the Deep State, if not multiple factions.

 

December 2016 -- The gloves came off:

 

As they've become increasingly more desperate, the Globalists have ratcheted up their war efforts and have been desperately trying to engineer a massive global kerfuffle to distract the general population and delay the inevitable. What we have witnessed over the past three weeks can be described as the Globalists' hail-mary to stave off annihilation.

 

Three recent news items make this case quite convincingly:

 

1) The assassination of NATO's auditor general on December 16th, 2016:

 

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/747259/NATO-Auditor-General-is-found-shot-dead-in-suspicious-circumstances

 

2) The assassination of Andrei Karlov on December 19th, 2016:

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/745348/russian-ambassador-ankara-turkey-nato-secret-service-putin-Frants-Klintsevich

 

3) The downing of a Russian airliner on December 25th, 2016:

 

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/black-sea-plane-crash-no-sign-explosion-tu-154-russian-n701116

 

On the surface these three events don't seem to be connected. But once you dig a bit deeper you will discover that in combination these three events represent a clear escalation of the Deep State's ongoing shadow war. Two of these stories, Karlov's assassination and the downing of Russian Tu-154, were reported widely in the western press.

 

The death of Chandelon was hardly mentioned at all. So, that's where we'll start:

 

Assassination #1...

 

In order to understand the Globalist methods, you first have to come to grips with the fact that this faction has been using the US military and intelligence complexes as its shell since the end of WWII. That's not to say this is where this faction started, merely where it's resided for the past half century. A unipolar global order demands a military force capable of projecting power anywhere on the planet. Since 1991 (really since 1944), the US has been the only country with the means and industry to make that possible.

 

Using the US military and IC as the tip of its spear, this Globalist faction has been funding and deploying terrorist operations against its enemies and allies alike since at least the 1950s, if not before. From Operation GLADIO to supporting the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, the evidence of this tactic is overwhelming and abundant. You can, in fact, trace the roots of modern jihadism back to the days between world wars wherein the Germans (pre-Nazism though the Nazis continued this work) were radicalizing young Muslims to attack British occupying forces in the ME. This tactic has been a valuable and often used tool in the Globalist toolkit and continues to this day.

 

This, for obvious reasons, is also one of the most controversial elements of the Deep State because it undercuts nearly everything we're told is truth in our day to day lives here in the US. ISIS, AQ, the Taliban are our enemies after all, there's no way the United States IC and Military would ever be involved, direct or indirectly, in funding, training, and deploying these radical killers simply to further their own geopolitical agendas... At least until you examine the actual evidence:

That's not to say, in any way shape or form, that the Globalists created these terrorist organizations. Merely that they have used them as disposable proxies to maintain control of their portion of the global pie. Sunni radical jihadists are the favorite tool of the Globalists because they're easy to manage and even easier to disavow.

 

Through cut-outs in Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, and Qatar (and others), the Globalist faction of the Deep State has funneled billions of dollars in weapons and technology to these groups for the explicit purpose of spreading terror across not just the ME but Europe and the US as well -- both to keep the multipolarists (in this case the Iranians and Russians specifically) in check as well as to keep the general populations of the west in a state of fear and confusion.

 

And to keep the MiC dollars flowing into their coffers.

 

It's a plan that's worked near flawlessly for the past 15 years... Until the Syrian debacle. What changed in Syria? Quite simply, the status quo of the Deep State changed as this silent war kicked off near the end of 2011.

 

The Globalists were first denied a coup in the Ukraine in 2013. ( http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957) They then decided to double down on their efforts in Syria, increasing the funding of the foreign jihadists streaming across the borders into Syria. This was met by stiff resistance from the opposing factions (including multipolarists in Russia and Iran) who leaked evidence that Turkey and NATO members were in fact profiting off the backs of ISIS's rise in Iraq through cheap oil:

 

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-releases-proof-turkey-is-smuggling-isis-oil-over-its-border-a6757651.html

 

http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-isis-oil-trade-from-the-ground-up

 

These Russian accusations came on the heels of Turkey shooting down a Russian jet not two weeks earlier:

 

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34912581

 

In the immediate aftermath of these accusations, Turkey began to do a 180 with regards to its relationship with Russia. Why? If anything, it appeared that relations between the two nations were reaching a tipping point where direct conflict was inevitable. This was a dicey situation for multiple reasons, not the least of which was the Article 5 implications. The Globalists pushing for a direct conflict between Russia and the West seemed like they had complete control. So why did Turkey suddenly do an about face? Could it be Erdogan was given a better offer from a different player within the Deep State? It's speculation, but considering the chain of events that followed it suddenly has more teeth.

 

Within 7 months, Erdogan would survive a "coup" attempt after which he used said coup to distance himself from the Globalists in the west. Erdogan claimed the west, and the US specifically, were behind the attempted coup and continue protecting its mastermind in Gulen. The veracity of these charges seem unlikely if you don't factor in the Deep State into your equation, as Erdogan is clearly nothing short of an authoritarian dictator at this point. His word alone should not be trusted.

 

But like I said, this isn't about good guys versus bad guys. It's about competing ideologies between bad guys and worse guys.

 

With Turkey pulling away from the Globalist sect, NATO was forced to evacuate nukes from their base in Incirlik. Erdogan cracked down hard on his own people and constitution, furthering this divide and fueling the narrative that he is nothing more than a power hungry despot. But thanks to the Russian accusations and scrutiny from the world press at large, the illegal oil shipments through Turkey suddenly stopped. This was a significant victory for the multipolarists as it cut off a vital pipeline of untraceable funding for the Globalists various terror networks in both the ME and Europe.

 

The response from the Globalists was swift and severe. While Turkey moved into a closer orbit with Russia, the audacity of terrorist bombings jumped:

 

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/2016/06/timeline-attacks-turkey-160628223800183.html

 

Some of this, undoubtedly, is the work of the Kurds and Erdogan's own forces as he attempts to centralize his own authority even more. But several, including the largest casualty counts in 2016, were credited to ISIS forces who were likely sending a message to Turkey on behalf of the Globalists and specifically their terrorists operations ongoing in Syria.

 

Which brings us back to the assassination of Chandelon, NATO's Chief Auditor.

 

His body was found on December 16th with a gunshot wound to the head. He had several weapons registered to his name, but the gun that killed him was not one of them. Plus, the gun that did him in was allegedly discovered in the glove compartment of the car rather than in his hand... which makes the cover story of a common suicide a bit tough to swallow for anyone possessing even the tiniest bit of critical thinking skills.

 

So, why was this guy suicided and how does it connect to the other two stories I've highlighted?

 

We can start to answer that question by looking into what else happened on that very day, December 16th. That was the day 44 made his very public threat to retaliate against Russia for the still unproven and highly divisive claims that the Russians "hacked" our election process. In 44's own words the US promised to take action "at a time and place of our own choosing."

 

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/15/obama-threatens-retaliation-against-russia-election-hacking/95501584/

 

Assassination #2...

 

Three days later, the assassination of Ambassador Karlov occurs. Cut-outs in both the Russian government and Turkish governments (in the form of Ankara's mayor and a Russian Senator) immediately pointed the finger at NATO security services as being behind this brazen assassination in an attempt to undercut the growing relationship of Turkey and Russia. Other agencies in the region pointed the finger at ISIS (which, of course, is by extension pointing the finger at the west).

 

Whether the Globalist faction of the Deep State was truly behind this murder will never be covered in the press. Though it's impossible to remove them as a prime suspect due to the timing (three days after 44 publicly threatened retaliation) and their known connection to ISIS itself. Turkey has recently stepped things up further, pinning it once again on Gulen -- pointing out he is still being protected by the US directly. Putin went as far as to release a public statement claiming the attack was designed to undercut the peace process in Syria while various corporate outlets ran wild with the story, speculating it was a false flag designed to bring on WW3. One op-ed even went to extremes to paint the murder as a boon to the west:

That the Globalists have been itching to engineer a shooting war between Russia and the US is not even a secret at this point. HRC's campaign was built around stopping the bloodshed in Syria by instituting No Fly Zones -- which could only be accomplished by taking out Russian anti-air sites on the ground in Syria (meaning US pilots dropping bombs on Russian troops). That detail wasn't examined by anyone in the mainstream media during the election of course, so firmly do the Globalists control those institutions.

 

So the motivation for a false flag assassination designed to elicit a response from Russia or Turkey, which would then give the pretext for the war these Globalists have clearly been begging for, does hold water. But that alone isn't enough to convince anyone.

 

Until you plug Chandelon's murder and the downing of TU-154 into your analysis.

 

Both are connected...

 

The timing of Chandelon's murder and Karlov's assassination are too close to be anything other than connected. The rule of thumb in intelligence circles is that nothing is a coincidence. Chandelon, who was responsible for internal auditing as well as in charge of external investigations into money laundering activities and terrorist financing, was one of the few who would be in position to "leak" information on exactly this sort of wet-work operation should it have gone sideways in Ankara. That he was taken off the board the same day 44 issued public threats and a mere three days before a major terrorist event, should be a red flashing warning light to those people paying attention.

 

Of course the assassination of Karlov itself has all the hallmarks of a Deep State operation, reminiscent of '63 in Dallas as many have pointed out. The lone shooter makes a public (and scripted) admission of motive before being gunned down as he fled. It's of course rather convenient that the shooter was taken out before he could say anything more or be subjected to any sort of interrogation or trial. Whether the assassin was a simple patsy or in some way mind controlled (yup, you have to leave that possibility open when dealing with the Deep State), we'll now never know.

 

Despite the efforts to provoke a response from Russia and/or Turkey, the Globalists found themselves floundering. Neither Turkey nor Russia were taking the bait, despite cut-outs from both nations pointing the finger clearly at the west.

The Globalists needed to make an even bigger play at poking the bear...

 

The crash of TU-154...

 

What's most telling about the crash itself was the Russian response. Almost immediately after the crash, despite the state of the wreckage and numerous body parts of the jet's passengers (note some of the language used in the initial crash site reports), an explosion or anything terrorist related was instantly denied by the FSB and Putin himself -- hardly before the investigation had even begun let alone concluded.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/25/europe/russian-plane-tu-154/

 

As stated previously, the Globalists are not just based in the west. They exist in the Kremlin as well. It seems clear to me, based on the immediacy of the FSB's pronouncement, that Russia was going out of its way to eliminate the west or any of its terror groups as suspects. At least publicly. This would be necessary if Putin were facing pressure from the Globalists in his own country. Any admission, or even hint of terrorist involvement or western influence, would make it near impossible for Putin to ignore. The hardliners within his own government would demand a response.

 

But when a response is precisely what the Globalists are looking for, it was simply not an option. So the Russians spun it as quickly as they could through their chosen state sponsored media outlets like RT and Pravda. This would at the very least buy the opposing factions within the Deep State time to gather evidence.

 

Above Top Secret Weaponry...

 

But then there's this little gem which came out three days after Christmas and is, inarguably, the most speculative bit of information I'm presenting at this time:

 

https://israelinewslive.org/radio-electronic-attack-russia-tu-154-december-25-2016/

 

The article claims that an advanced "Radio Electronic Weapon" was used to take down TU-154. Before you scoff at this notion let's remember what happened to the USS Donald Cook in the Black Sea in 2014:

 

https://www.voltairenet.org/article185860.html

 

The Cook, a 4th generation missile cruiser equipped with the previously impregnable and superior AEIGIS combat system was allegedly taken off line by a single Russian jet deploying a new electronic weapon. This event shook the USN to its foundations because the entirety of its fleet and NATO's missile defense platforms in Europe rely upon AEIGIS to maintain its superiority over Russian technology. If one plane could cripple one of our more advanced surface ships, what would that mean for NATO's ever increasing deployment of its missile shield in Eastern Europe?

 

Back to TU-154, this sort of weapon would certainly be able to cripple a passenger jet and cause it to crash. It would be many orders of magnitude more simple in fact when compared to taking the Cook offline.

 

The main point is, this type of technology exists and is highly classified. When the highly classified goodies begin to be deployed by the Deep State against its own, that's when you know the gloves have come off and things are about to get really nasty.

 

Whether this top secret weapon was deployed by Globalist forces within the US/NATO or Globalist forces within Russia itself is impossible to determine at this time. And admittedly, the entire notion that such a weapon was deployed at all is entirely speculative. But when you combine these three seemingly unconnected stories together a striking picture begins to emerge: Forces within the Deep State are working overtime to engineer a war between Russia and the West, so far they have been unsuccessful largely thanks to counter attacks launched by opposing Deep State factions.

 

Wrapping it all up:

 

The Russian response to both the assassination of Karlov and the downing of TU-154 have been telling. There has not been an overreaction at all, instead there has been a pause.

 

My assumption is that this pause is designed to give the multipolarists time to gather evidence and rethink their strategy. If there were a chance that the courts in the west would prosecute these Globalist ringleaders, I think we would see a response in the form of a disclosure like we saw of Turkey's oil smuggling operation. There might be a release or disclosure of the evidence that ties these men and women to both ISIS, the assassinations of Karlov and Chandelon, as well as the downing of TU-154 in this scenario.

 

But since there isn't a court in existence that has ever shown an interest in prosecuting these Deep State members, another response is more likely. Namely, an escalation of the shadow war that's already raging.

 

It may come in the form of assassinations of some of these ringleaders (we'll see these as "accidents" in the press, or medical emergencies), but it's most certainly not going to be in the form of troops marching across borders. If that happens, then you'll know which side has won.

 

To that end it's time to stop thinking in terms of state actors and time to start thinking on a deeper level about these events. Let's see them for what they are, a war of ideologies between factions of this Deep State.

 

 

 

... Which is why this little bill which slipped through the cracks over the Holidays should be worrisome to all of us:

One?  News flash Mr. Hollywood, the "crazy guy" turns out to be right in 93.2% of movies.  The other 6.8% involves Apes, robots, and vampires.

That explains why only 6.8% of movies are any good.

They can't prove anything about Russia and the hacks.

 

The indictments handed down by Rod the Mossad aren't ever going to result in a single Russian military figure appearing in a US courtroom, and Rod the Mossad knew that when he used them to undermine the foreign policy efforts of the President.
