Kaboom! Russia-gate probe reveals explosive evidence of Obama Administration and DNC massive corruption and theft in Ukraine




“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” ― John Adams

“A decline of public morals in the United States will probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of crushing political adversaries or ejecting them from office.” ~ Alexis de Tocqueville

The impeachment inquiry into whether President Trump committed high crimes or misdemeanors in requesting Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate whether Joe Biden or his son were involved in corruption in Ukraine is a sham.  After Attorney General Bill Barr launched an investigation into the origins of the highly dubious Russia-gate charges launched by the DNC, panic and desperation ensued.  Desperate to cover up the massive theft of taxpayer money and corruption of the Obama Administration Dems put impeachment on the fast track.

The so called whistleblowers are CIA spooks who were complicit in the massive crimes against the American taxpayers and the people of Ukraine.  The crimes were committed by Democrats in the highest levels in the DNC, CIA, State Department, Pentagon as well as the British MI6.   From The Unz Review:


Excerpt:

The Plundering of Ukraine by Corrupt American Democrats
A talk with Oleg Tsarev reveals the alleged identity of the "Trump/Ukraine Whistleblower"

Mr. Tsarev with Israel Shamir in Crimea

Top Dems are involved in the plundering of the Ukraine: new names, mind-boggling accounts. The mysterious ‘whistleblower’ whose report had unleashed the impeachment is named in the exclusive interview given to the Unz Review by a prominent Ukrainian politician, an ex-Member of Parliament of four terms, a candidate for Ukraine’s presidency, Oleg Tsarev.

Mr Tsarev, a tall, agile and graceful man, a good speaker and a prolific writer, had been a leading and popular Ukrainian politician before the 2014 putsch; he stayed in the Ukraine after President Yanukovych’s flight; ran for the Presidency against Mr Poroshenko, and eventually had to go to exile due to multiple threats to his life.

During the failed attempt to secede, he was elected the speaker of the Parliament of Novorossia (South-Eastern Ukraine). I spoke to him in Crimea, where he lives in the pleasant seaside town of Yalta. Tsarev still has many supporters in the Ukraine, and is a leader of the opposition to the Kiev regime.

Oleg, you followed Biden story from its very inception. Biden is not the only Dem politician involved in the Ukrainian corruption schemes, is he?

Indeed, John Kerry, the Secretary of State in Obama’s administration, was his partner-in-crime. But Joe Biden was number one. During the Obama presidency, Biden was the US proconsul for Ukraine, and he was involved in many corruption schemes. He authorised transfer of three billion dollars of the US taxpayers’ money to the post-coup government of the Ukraine; the money was stolen, and Biden took a big share of the spoils.

It is a story of ripping the US taxpayer and the Ukrainian customer off for the benefit of a few corruptioners, American and Ukrainian. And it is a story of Kiev regime and its dependence on the US and IMF. The Ukraine has a few midsize deposits of natural gas, sufficient for domestic household consumption.

The cost of its production was quite low; and the Ukrainians got used to pay pennies for their gas. Actually, it was so cheap to produce that the Ukraine could provide all its households with free gas for heating and cooking, just like Libya did. Despite low consumer price, the gas companies (like Burisma) had very high profits and very little expenditure.

After the 2014 coup, IMF demanded to raise the price of gas for the domestic consumer to European levels, and the new president Petro Poroshenko obliged them. The prices went sky-high. The Ukrainians were forced to pay many times more for their cooking and heating; and huge profits went to coffers of the gas companies. Instead of raising taxes or lowering prices, President Poroshenko demanded the gas companies to pay him or subsidise his projects. He said that he arranged the price hike; it means he should be considered a partner.

Burisma Gas Company had to pay extortion money to the president Poroshenko. Eventually its founder and owner Mr Nicolai Zlochevsky decided to invite some important Westerners into the company’s board of directors hoping it would moderate Poroshenko’s appetites. He had brought in Biden’s son Hunter, John Kerry, Polish ex-President Kwasniewski; but it didn’t help him.

Poroshenko became furious that the fattened calf may escape him, and asked the Attorney General Shokin to investigate Burisma trusting some irregularities would emerge. AG Shokin immediately discovered that Burisma had paid these ‘stars’ between 50 and 150 thousand dollar per month each just for being on the list of directors. THIS IS ILLEGAL BY THE UKRAINIAN TAX CODE; IT CAN’T BE RECOGNISED AS LEGITIMATE EXPENDITURE.

At that time Biden the father entered the fray. He called Poroshenko and gave him six hours to close the case against his son. Otherwise, one billion dollars of the US taxpayers’ funds won’t pass to the Ukrainian corruptioners. Zlochevsky, THE BURISMA OWNER, PAID BIDEN WELL FOR THIS CONVERSATION: HE RECEIVED BETWEEN THREE AND TEN MILLION DOLLARS, ACCORDING TO DIFFERENT SOURCES.

AG Shokin said he can’t close the case within six hours; Poroshenko sacked him and installed Mr Lutsenko in his stead. Lutsenko was willing to dismiss the case of Burisma, but he also could not do it in a day, or even in a week. Biden, as we know, could not keep his trap shut: by talking about the pressure he put on Poroshenko, he incriminated himself. Meanwhile Mr Shokin gave evidence that Biden put pressure on Poroshenko to fire him, and now it was confirmed. The evidence was given to the US lawyers in connection with another case, Firtash case.

What is Firtash Case?

THE DEMOCRATS WANTED TO GET ANOTHER UKRAINIAN OLIGARCH, MR FIRTASH, TO THE US AND MAKE HIM TO CONFESS THAT HE ILLEGALLY SUPPORTED TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN FOR THE SAKE OF RUSSIA. Firtash had been arrested in Vienna, Austria; there he fought extradition to the US. His lawyers claimed it is purely political case, and they used Mr Shokin’s deposition to substantiate their claim.

For this reason, the evidence supplied by Shokin is not easily reversible, even if Shokin were willing, and he is not. He also stated under oath that the Democrats pressurised him to help and extradite Firtash to the US, though he had no standing in this purely American issue. It seems that Mrs Clinton believes that Firtash’s funds helped Trump to win elections, an extremely unlikely thing [says Mr Tsarev].

Talking about Burisma and Biden; what is this billion dollars of aid that Biden could give or withhold?

It is USAID money, the main channel of the US aid for “support of democracy”. First billion dollars of USAID came to the Ukraine in 2014. This was authorised by Joe Biden, while for Ukraine, the papers were signed by Mr Turchinov, the “acting President”.

The Ukrainian constitution does not know of such a position, and Turchinov, “the acting President” had no right to sign neither a legal nor financial document. Thus, all the documents that were signed by him, in fact, had no legal force. However, BIDEN COUNTERSIGNED THE PAPERS SIGNED BY TURCHYNOV AND ALLOCATED MONEY FOR UKRAINE. AND THE MONEY WAS STOLEN – BY THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR UKRAINIAN COUNTERPARTS.

Two years ago, (that is already under President Trump) the United States began to investigate the allocation of 3 billion dollars; it was allocated in 2014, in 2015, in 2016; one billion dollars per year. The investigation showed that the documents were falsified, the money was transferred to Ukraine, and stolen. The investigators tracked each payment, discovered where the money went, where it was spent and how it was stolen.

As a result, in October 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice opened a criminal case for “Abuse of power and embezzlement of American taxpayers’ money”. Among the accused there are two consecutive Finance Ministers of the Ukraine, Mrs Natalie Ann Jaresko who served 2014-2016 and Mr Alexander Daniluk who served 2016-2018, AND THREE US BANKS. The investigation caused the USAID to cease issuing grants since August 2019. AS TRUMP SAID, NOW THE US DOES NOT GIVE AWAY MONEY AND DOES NOT IMPOSE DEMOCRACY.

THE MONEY WAS ALLOCATED WITH THE FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF AMERICAN LAW. There was no risk assessment, no audit reports. Normally the USAID, when allocating cash, always prepares a substantial package of documents. But the billions were given to Ukraine completely without documents. The criminal case on the embezzlement of USAID funds had been signed personally by the US Attorney General, so these issues are very much alive.

Sam Kislin was involved in this investigation. He is a good friend and associate of Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer and an ex-mayor of New York. Kislin is well known in Kiev, and I have many friends who are Sam’s friends [said Tsarev]. I learned of his progress, because some of my friends were detained in the United States, or interrogated in Ukraine. They briefed me about this. It appears that Burisma is just the tip of the scandal, the tip of the iceberg.

IF TRUMP WILL CARRY ON, AND USE WHAT WAS ALREADY INITIATED AND INVESTIGATED, THE WHOLE HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL COME DOWN. They will not be able to hold elections. I have no right to name names, but believe me, leading functionaries of the Democratic Party are involved.

Poroshenko was aware of that; he gave orders to declare Sam Kislin persona non grata. Once the old man (he is over 80) flew into Kiev airport and he was not allowed to come in; he spent the night in detention and was flown back to the US next day. Poroshenko had been totally allied with Clinton camp.

And President Zelensky? Is he free from Clintonite Democrats’ influence?

If he were, there would not be the scandal of Trump phone call. How the Democrats learned of this call and its alleged content? The official version says there was a CIA man, a whistle-blower, who reported to the Democrats. What the version does not clarify, where this whistle-blower was located during the call. I tell you, he was located in Kiev, and he was present at the conversation, at the Ukrainian President Zelensky’s side.

This man was (perhaps) a CIA asset, but he also was a close associate of George Soros, and a Ukrainian high-ranking official. His name is Mr Alexander Daniluk. He is also the man the investigation of Sam Kislin and of the DoJ had led to, the Finance Minister of Ukraine at the time, the man who was responsible for the embezzlement of three billion US taxpayer’s best dollars. THE DOJ ISSUED AN ORDER FOR HIS ARREST. NATURALLY HE IS DEVOTED TO BIDEN PERSONALLY, AND TO THE DEMS IN GENERAL. I WOULD NOT TRUST HIS VERSION OF THE PHONE CALL AT ALL.

Daniluk was supposed to accompany President Zelensky on his visit to Washington; but he was informed that there is an order for his arrest. He remained in Kiev. And soon afterwards, the hell of the alleged leaked phone call broke out. Zelensky administration investigated and concluded that the leak was done by Mr Alexander Daniluk, who is known for his close relations with George Soros and with Mr Biden. Alexander Daniluk had been fired. (However, he did not admit his guilt and said the leak was done by his sworn enemy, the head of president’s administration office, Mr Andrey Bogdan, who allegedly framed Daniluk.)

This is not the only case of US-connected corruption in Ukraine. There is Amos J. Hochstein, a protege of former VP Joe Biden, who has served in the Barack Obama administration as the Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources. He still hangs on the Ukraine. Together with an American citizen Andrew Favorov, the Deputy Director of Naftogas he organised very expensive “reverse gas import” into Ukraine.

In this scheme, the Russian gas is bought by Europeans and afterwards sold to Ukraine with a wonderful margin. In reality, gas comes from Russia directly, but payments go via Hochstein. It is much more costly than to buy directly from Russia; Ukrainian people pay, while the margin is collected by Hochstein and Favorov. Now they plan to import liquefied gas from the United States, at even higher price. Again, the price will be paid by the Ukrainians, while profits will go to Hochstein and Favorov.

In all these scams, there are people of Clinton and spooks who are fully integrated in the Democratic Party. A former head of CIA, Robert James Woolsey, now sits on the Board of Directors of Velta, producing Ukrainian titanium. Woolsey is a neocon, a member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), pro-Israel think-tank, and a man who relentlessly pushed for Iraq war. A TYPICAL DEMOCRAT SPOOK, NOW HE GETS PROFITS FROM UKRAINIAN ORE DEPOSITS.

One of the best Ukrainian corruption stories is connected with Audrius Butkevicius, the former Minister of Defence (1996 to 2000) and a Member of the Seimas (Parliament) of post-Soviet Lithuania. Mr AB is supposedly working for MI6, and now is a member of the notorious Institute for Statecraft, a UK deep state propaganda outfit involved in disinformation operations, subversion of the democratic process and promoting Russophobia and the idea of a new cold war. In 1991 he commanded snipers that shoot Lithuanian protesters.

The kills were ascribed to the Soviet armed forces, and the last Soviet President Mr Gorbachev ordered speedy withdrawal of his troops from Lithuania. Mr AB became the Minister of Defence of his independent nation. In 1997 the Honourable Minister of Defence “had requested 300,000 USD from a senior executive of a troubled oil company for his assistance in obtaining the discontinuance of criminal proceedings concerning the company’s vast debts”, in the language of the court judgement. He was arrested on receipt of the bribe, had been sentenced to five years of jail, but a man with such qualifications was not left to rot in a prison.

In 2005 he commanded the snipers who killed protesters in Kyrgyzstan, in Georgia he repeated the feat in 2003 during the Rose Revolution. In 2014 he did it again in Kiev, where his snipers killed around a hundred men, protesters and police. He was brought to Kiev by Mr Turchinov, who called himself the “acting President” and who countersigned Joe Biden’s billion dollars’ grant.

In October 2018 the name of Mr AB came up again. Military warehouses of Chernigov had caught fire; allegedly thousands of shells stored for fighting the separatists had been destroyed by fire. And it was not the first fire of this kind: the previous one, equally huge, torched Ukrainian army warehouses in Vinnitsa in 2017. Altogether, there were 12 huge army arsenal fires for the last few years. Just for 2018, the damage was over $2 billion.

When Chief Military Prosecutor of Ukraine Anatoly Matios investigated the fires, he discovered that 80% of weapons and shells in the warehouses were missing. They weren’t destroyed by fire, they weren’t there in the first place.

Instead of being used to kill the Russian-speaking Ukrainians of Donetsk, THE HARDWARE HAD BEEN SHIPPED FROM THE PORT OF NIKOLAEV TO SYRIA, TO THE ISLAMIC REBELS AND TO ISIS. And the man who organised this enormous operation was our Mr AB, the old fighter for democracy on behalf of MI6, acting in cahoots with the Minister of Defence Poltorak and Mr Turchinov, the friend of Mr Biden. (They say Mr Matios was given $10 million for his silence).

THE LOSS WAS OF UKRAINIAN PEOPLE, AND OF US TAXPAYERS, WHILE THE BENEFICIARIES WERE THE DEEP STATE, WHICH IS PROBABLY JUST ANOTHER NAME FOR THE DEADLY MIX OF SPOOKS, MEDIA AND POLITICIANS.

The Democratic Party no longer exists, what has replaced it is a highly corrupt amalgam of crooks from the George W. Bush Administration and Obama Administration who have committed massive theft of the American taxpayers money.  They are what Tulsi Gabbard called “the rot that has infected the Democratic Party.”

Isn’t it rich?  The Democrats want Trump impeached for holding up funds they authorized for the government of Ukraine, money that will go directly into their own and their families’ pockets, with a little off the top for the corrupt Ukraine government cronies. 

These Democrats and their family members siphoned billions of taxpayers’ dollars that they funneled through the corrupt government they illegally installed in Ukraine after a CIA/State Department/MI6 coup.  The American taxpayers bear the burden of paying interest on the trillions the Federal Reserve Bank printed up to pay for it.  The politicians call the billions in interest payments to the Federal Reserve “an entitlement” therefore when they lump the interest owed to the Federal Reserve Bank with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid they tell the American people that entitlements are bankrupting the country. 

The Democrats are desperate to stop Barr’s investigation because if brought to light there will be no Democrats left.  From Larry Johnson atLaRouche Pub:

Larry Johnson Writes, Attorney General Barr Has ‘Pulled the Trigger’

Oct. 26, 2019 (EIRNS)—Writing on the “Sic Semper Tyrannis” website, Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst who helped create the VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity), proclaims that the counterpunch against the attempted coup has been kicked into high gear under the direction Attorney General Bill Barr. Johnson writes:

“I do not believe that it is a mere coincidence that these three events occurred late last night [Thursday night]:

“1. The investigation of the roots of the plot to destroy Donald Trump and his Presidency is now a criminal matter.

“2. A letter from Inspector General Horowitz announcing that his report on the FISA fraud would be out shortly with no major redactions.

“3. The Government caved to Honey Badger Sidney Powell and allowed her to fully expose criminal conduct by Michael Flynn’s prosecutors.

“What is going on? Two words. Bill Barr. The Attorney General has pulled the trigger and altered the landscape in the Russiagate saga. Having been granted full authority by the President to declassify information, including intel from the CIA and the NSA, he has now acted in a powerful, but low key way.

The announcement that this is now a criminal investigation means that anyone, including FBI agents and CIA officers, who try to hold back information or hide information will be vulnerable to obstruction of justice charges. Criminal penalties attach....

“Christopher Wray and his sycophants last night folded like a cheap tent in a hurricane in terms of blocking release of the Inspector General report on FISA abuses. They also withdrew the FBI objections to the Exhibits that Sidney Powell had attached to her brief explaining why the FBI had engaged in criminal activity against her client, Gen. Mike Flynn.

“When Durham goes to the CIA, the DIA and the NSA asking questions and demanding documents they must cooperate or face criminal charges. That is the gamechanger.”

Gamechanger indeed.  Let the impeachments begin, not of Trump but the Obama Administration, the DNC, CIA, State Department and all those involved.  The crimes committed should carry life sentences for the damage they caused the American people and the Ukrainian people and the people of Syria.  From Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge:

Excerpt:

The DOJ's Russiagate Probe Just Turned Into A Criminal Investigation

What began as an administrative review by the Justice Department into the origins of Russiagate has "shifted" to a criminal inquiry, according to the New York Times, citing two people familiar with the matter.

The move will allow prosecutor John H Durham the power to subpoena documents and witnesses, to impanel a grand jury, and to file criminal charges. Durham's progress has been closely monitored by Attorney General William Barr, who appointed the veteran investigator in May, tasking him with looking into FBI and CIA intelligence gathering operations surrounding the 2016 US election.

US Attorney John Durham

As the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross notes, Barr said on April 10 that he believed "spying" had taken place against the Trump campaign, and that he doesn't buy former FBI officials' version of how the collusion investigation began.  Little is known about Durham’s activities so far in the investigation. The Times report said it is unclear when the investigation took on a criminal element, or what specific crime Durham is investigating.

Durham accompanied Barr to Italy late in September as part of an inquiry into U.S. intelligence agents’ activities there during the 2016 campaign. They also inquired about Joseph Mifsud, a mysterious Maltese professor who established contact with Trump aide George Papadopoulos in 2016. -Daily Caller

Just over three weeks ago, the Times also reported that President Trump asked the Australian Prime Minister to help Barr uncover the origins of "Russiagate," a move which Justice Department officials said "would be neither illegal nor untoward for Trump to ask."

And according to NBC News, Durham has set his sights on former CIA Director John Brennan and former national intelligence director James Clapper.

Durham's investigation has been running parallel to a probe by Justice Department Inspector General (and registered Democrat) Michael Horowitz, who told Congress on Thursday that he expects his report to be "lengthy," but able to be made mostly available to the public.

The Durham probe is similar to a Justice Department inspector general’s investigation into the FBI’s surveillance of Trump campaign adviser Carter Page…

Horowitz has been investigating whether the FBI misled the foreign surveillance court in spy applications against Page. Investigators relied heavily on the Steele dossier in the applications, though information in that document was largely unverified. Unlike Durham, Horowitz has not had subpoena power, and cannot use a grand jury as part of his investigation. -Daily Caller

And of course, with Durham's administrative review turning into a criminal probe, the Times has already given away the predictable response from the left; Barr is investigating the Obama intelligence community to help Trump win in 2020. Nothing to see here folks, right?

Yeah, nothing to see here.  Barr is Trump’s puppet, Joe Biden and his son have been cleared of any wrong doing, that’s all you hear from the Mainstream Media.  Now we are being told, “how dare you challenge the brave whistle blowers, they are heroes.”  From David Stockman at Lew Rockwell:

Yes, Virginia, There Is a Deep State and It's Feeding the Anti-POTUS Mob
Yes, Virginia, There Is a Deep State and It's Feeding the Anti-POTUS Mob

The prepared statement of the latest UkraineGate whistle-blower is well worth the read. It tells you all you need to know about why the Deep State apparatchiks are coming out of the woodwork in a massive assault on America’s duly elected president.

They are deathly afraid Trump will begin to dismantle a far-flung Empire which has wreaked havoc around the world, bled America’s fiscal accounts dry, and fostered unspeakable prosperity among the beltway’s legions of empire-supporting agencies, contractors, think tanks, foreign lobbies, NGO’s and K-street racketeers.

Whether out of common sense, naiveté or just contrariness, the Donald has dared to question and disrupt the Empire’s core policy on the Ukraine/Russia file. And that’s apparently exactly why the whistleblower de jour, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, wrote his now ballyhooed memos.

He feared that Trump’s appropriate desire to get to the bottom of the well-documented Ukrainian involvement in the Obama Administration’s illegal spying on his 2016 presidential campaign would undermine the bipartisan consensus on Capitol Hill for Washington’s utterly wrong-headed Ukraine policy.

Stated more crudely, Washington overthrew the duly elected government of Ukraine in early 2014 because its leader was deemed too cozy with Moscow. And in the vanguard of that illegal meddling in the governance of a sovereign foreign state was Obama’s state department led by neocon Assistant Secretary Victoria Nuland, Washington’s self-appointed roving proconsul John McCain and at length Vice-President Joe Biden.

After aiding a motley phalanx of ultra-nationalists, crypto-Nazi and political fortune seekers in overthrowing President Viktor Yanukovych, Washington has stood-up what are essentially puppet governments. The purpose has been to cause maximum abrasion with Putin and Russia; and at a cost of billions in aid from the US and other western agencies designed to prop up the economic basket case and cesspool of corruption which passes for the Ukrainian economy…

As it happens, Lt. Colonel Vindman is a vociferous partisan of Washington’s Big Lie about the Russian ogre, and was virtually a fifth column operative in the viper’s nest of neocons at the Donald’s national security council. In fact, Vindman reported to Russophobe Fiona Hill, who reported to the Walrus of Forever War himself, John Bolton.

So despite all the Democrats’ crocodile tears for the constitution and rule of law, Vindman’s beef wasn’t really about their whole abuse of power canard. Nor did it touch upon the risible Dem/MSM nonsense that in asking a foreign government to undertake a legitimate action (an investigation of the corrupt use of taxpayers money by the former Vice President) Trump was committing a violation of U.S. election laws.

To the contrary, the gravamen of the colonel’s concern was domestic politics and the possibility that in withholding the $380 million of pending Ukrainian AID (WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ZERO IN THE FIRST PLACE) and pressing the Biden investigation, Trump would alienate Capitol Hill Democrats and leave the Deep State’s policy of using the Ukraine as an anti-Putin battering ram high and dry.

“…. I was worried about the implications for the US government’s support of Ukraine…. “I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained.”

“This would all undermine US national security. Following the call, I again reported my concerns to NSC’s lead counsel.”

FOLKS, LT. COL. VINDMAN WAS NOT ELECTED TO NOTHIN’. If he’s a proud 20-year veteran of the US Army and diplomatic service as he claims, fine.  But his job is to implement policy as decided by the elected representatives of the people, not to free lance in the cause of the Empire group-think in which he is obviously and hopelessly steeped.

So let’s cut to the chase: The policy he feared the Donald might be jeopardizing by his pressure tactics with President Zelensky has been a travesty from start to finish. The Ukraine has no bearing on America’s homeland security whatsoever, and the policies of its government vis-à-vis Russia or any of its other neighbors are none of Washington’s cotton picking business.

You can’t be more emphatic about the utter irrelevancy of Ukraine to America’s homeland security. Even at the pre-coup peak in 2013 it had a minuscule GDP of $185 billion, which has since plunged by 30% to $130 billion. Even if Putin were foolish enough to annex the approximate 30 million Russian-hating Ukrainians outside of the Russian-speaking eastern Donbas region, which he surely is not, it wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans in the strategic equation.

Ukraine amounts to just 8% of Russia’s pint-sized GDP and is actually worthless to the Kremlin. That’s because the cost of occupation and pacification of the non-Russian speaking majority of the country would vastly outweigh whatever industrial and material output it might steal from the Ukrainians.

Besides, what in the hell is wrong with Washington when it gets all hot and bothered about a no-count territory plagued with economic failure and which generates annually about two days worth of US output?

Moreover, even if you have warm and fuzzy regard for the rights and liberties of the Ukrainian “nation”, which has existed only infrequently as an independent state with wildly variant borders during the last 800 years, the question remains. Namely, how in the world can it be argued that its people were not better off in 2013 under an elected government of the Regions party that tilted toward Russia compared to the economic calamity which exits today and is only saved from complete collapse by US and European subventions?

So here’s where the Deep State’s hegemonic “sole superpower” world view comes in. Washington’s Ukraine policy has nothing to do with homeland security or prevention of military attack on American shores.

Instead, it is based on policing the world and demonizing the rump-state of Russia which emerged after the Soviet Union slithered off the pages of history in 1991. What was left was a decimated economy with half the former population and a current day GDP of $1.6 trillion, which is actually less than the GDP of the New York metro area.

Still, the Warfare State needs palpable “enemies” and adversaries – no matter how tendentious the case – to justify its massive fiscal drain ($1.1 trillion counting everything) on US taxpayers, both current and unborn; and it also needs expansive missions like spreading the blessings of democracy, prosperity and western culture to the far corners of the earth.

And that’s not our hyperbole in the slightest; it’s essentially the content of Vindman’s whistleblower testimony to Shifty Schiff’s Star Chamber proceedings today.  Thus, when it comes to the blatant lie that Russia is an expansionist power, Vindman’s purple prose would make even the late warmongering Senator from Arizona proud:

Since 2008, Russia has manifested an overtly aggressive foreign policy, leveraging military power and employing hybrid warfare to achieve its objectives of regional hegemony and global influence. Absent a deterrent to dissuade Russia from such aggression, there is an increased risk of further confrontations with the West. In this situation, a strong and independent Ukraine is critical to U.S. national security interests because Ukraine is a frontline state and a bulwark against Russian aggression.

Wow! That’s just bellicose rubbish. A “frontline state and bulwark”my eye.  In fact, during the years since 1991 when Washington has invaded and virtually destroyed upwards of a dozen sovereign countries, Russia hasn’t invaded anyone!

But the reference to 2008 does tell you exactly where Vindman is coming from. He’s obviously referring to Russia’s thwarting of Georgia’s invasion of South Ossetia in August 2008.  That incident has been spun by the Deep State ever since as Russian aggression when it was just the opposite.

To wit, it was an aggressive military invasion by Georgia designed to reclaim the breakaway republic of South Ossetia. The real culprit was its mercurial leader and Washington tool, Mikheil Saakashvili, who had been egged on by Senator McCain and the usual cast of neocons with the promise of Washington military help, which fortunately did not happen.

But a subsequent 1,000 page report by an independent EU fact-finding mission led by a renown Swiss diplomat makes clear that the Georgian accusations of Russian aggression were completely fabricated.

“It was Georgia which triggered off the war when it attacked (South Ossetian capital) Tskhinvali” said Heidi Tagliavini, the mission head, in a statement. Although the EU commission tactfully avoided using the word “lie,” the report implies that Saakashvili did not tell the truth about how the war started.

The same is true of the so-called annexation of Crimea and the Kremlin’s support for the breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine. 

As to the former, the population of Crimea is overwhelmingly Russian, and for 171-years from 1783 to 1954 it was an integral province of Czarist Russia. It got arbitrarily assigned to the Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic by Khrushchev after he won the post-Stalin power struggle in 1954 as a reward to his compatriots in Kiev – even though less than 15% of the population was Ukrainian.

After the US funded, supported and instantly recognized coup in Kiev in February 2014 and the immediate passage of virulent anti-Russian legislation by the putsch, the Russian-speaking population of Crimea voted overwhelmingly (87%) to return to Mother Russia. The so-called coercive annexation by Russia is a figment of War Party propaganda, and implies a willingness to use American money and arms to enforce the dead hand of the Soviet Presidium.

And the same story goes for the Donbas. The largely Russian speaking population of this industrial region, which is highly integrated with the Russian economy, wants to be separated from the Ukrainian nationalists in Kiev who have launched a vicious war to subdue them.  But if the Donbas were to be partitioned or even if it voted to join the Russian Federation, so what?

The honest truth of the matter is that Europe is flush with partitioned states. These include Slovakia and the Czech Republic as well as the manifold offspring of Yugoslavia including North Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia, which, at the insistence of Washington, got further carved up by the partition of Kosovo.

That is to say, once Washington upended the tenuous political/ethnic balance of post-Soviet Ukraine by supporting the nationalist coup, there was still no reason that the Yugoslav model of partition could not have settled the matter.

In fact, the 5-year war on the Donbas – which has killed upwards of 20,000 and brought economic and fiscal ruin to both the region and Ukraine as a whole – wouldn’t have lasted more than a few weeks without the promise of western economic and military aid and political support.

The needless tragedy there is not the fruit of Russian aggression. It’s the consequence of Washington meddling, including all the corruption which has flowered after Ukraine was turned into a Washington vassal and found it necessary to hire Washington lobbyists and racketeers like Hunter Biden and Devon Archer (then Secretary of State John Kerry’s former campaign bundler) to keep the cash flowing.

Needless to say, the Deep State slathers this toxic reality in a narrative that is pure hogwash. And Colonel Vindman has it down pat: Namely, under the tutelage, money and political and military cover of the Washington Imperium, Ukraine is to be brought into the “Euro-Atlantic community” as a splendid new democracy.

The bolded term, of course, is an undisguised euphemism for NATO:

In spite of being under assault from Russia for more than five years, Ukraine has taken major steps towards integrating with the West. The US government policy community’s view is that the election of President Volodymyr Zelensky and the promise of reforms to eliminate corruption will lock in Ukraine’s Western-leaning trajectory, and allow Ukraine to realize its dream of a vibrant democracy and economic prosperity.

The United States and Ukraine are and must remain strategic partners, working together to realize the shared vision of a stable, prosperous, and democratic Ukraine that is integrated into the Euro-Atlantic community.

Here’s the thing. The expansion of NATO to the very doorstep of Russia was the most colossal mistake of the post-cold war period. And the War Party’s insistence that this should to taken all the way to the incorporation of Ukraine and Georgia – historic vassals of Russia – actually trespasses upon the very border of insanity.

Indeed, the father of containment and the intellectual architect of NATO in the late 1940s, the great George F. Kennan, hit the nail on the head when lightweight Clintonistas like Strobe Talbot and Madeleine Albright launched the NATO expansion process in the 1990s:

”I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” said Mr. Kennan from his Princeton home. ”I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else.

This expansion would make the Founding Fathers of this country turn over in their graves. We have signed up to protect a whole series of countries, even though we have neither the resources nor the intention to do so in any serious way. [NATO expansion] was simply a light-hearted action by a Senate that has no real interest in foreign affairs.”

”What bothers me is how superficial and ill informed the whole Senate debate was,” added Mr. Kennan, who was present at the creation of NATO and whose anonymous 1947 article in the journal Foreign Affairs, signed ”X,” defined America’s cold-war containment policy for 40 years. ”I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country dying to attack Western Europe.

Don’t people understand? Our differences in the cold war were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime.

”And Russia’s democracy is as far advanced, if not farther, as any of these countries we’ve just signed up to defend from Russia,” said Mr. Kennan, who joined the State Department in 1926 and was US Ambassador to Moscow in 1952. ”It shows so little understanding of Russian history and Soviet history. Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then [the NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are – but this is just wrong.”

He couldn’t have been more right about the substance of what would happen. But little did even Kennan realize that once in motion any even tepid effort to question or stop it – per the Donald’s campaign rhetoric about the obsolescence of NATO – would actually provoke a Deep State assault on American democracy itself.

So there’s your Deep State at work. It isn’t some kind of sinister conspiracy lurking deep in the shadows of the national security machinery.  To the contrary, it’s right there in the broad daylight of the Imperial City.

It is populated by hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers like Colonel Vindman who make a career of drinking the Cool Aid, collecting a pay check from the state and propagating the policies of Empire First – policies which are immoral, illegal, unaffordable and have absolutely nothing to do with protecting America’s liberty, prosperity and security inside the great ocean moats, which once upon a time birthed a peace-loving Republic.

We have no illusions, of course, that the Donald is a peace-lover. He’s self-evidently first and foremost a Donald-lover.  Still, what is underway in Washington – first with the RussiaGate hoax and now with UkraineGate and impeachment – is an extra-constitutional political lynching, and one that has turned Washington’s desperate, mendacious Dem pols into complaisant handmaids of the Deep State.

So Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman isn’t some kind of whistle-blowing hero. He’s just another mindless cog in the wheel of Empire talking his own book and thereby abetting the political mob that is now threatening the very constitution he was sworn to uphold.

It’s on folks!  Having watched every minute of the Nixon impeachment on TV, I can tell you that this is going to be must watch TV.  Every minute is going to be as exciting as a roller coaster ride.  What’s even more exciting this time is that there is an election coming up and the DNC is ready to implode on live TV. 

This gives a candidate like Tulsi Gabbard a huge advantage as she is the only one who has been calling out the DNC for its massive corruption.  After the whole explosion that will take down the entire Democratic hierarchy Tulsi may be the only Democrat left standing.  So get your popcorn and beverages and get set because Kaboom!  Russia-gate probe has exposed explosive evidence of Obama Administration and DNC massive corruption and theft in Ukraine.

Facing impeachment Trump bitch slaps AIPAC and their subservient comrades in US congress pulling troops out of Syria



There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt 1907

What fresh new hell is this?  AIPAC’s subservient Zionist comrades in the U.S. congress are outraged that an American President would put the American people’s interest ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Zionist extremist Israeli government’s interest and pull American troops out of Syria.  The CIA controlled American media are beside themselves crying that President Trump has betrayed the Kurds, our “most loyal comrades and allies.”  Congress wants President Trump to go to war with our NATO ally Turkey to on behalf of one sect of the Kurds that Turkey has designated as terrorists.  Try to wrap your brain around that one.

There would be no civil war in Syria had the CIA not started one.  This was all part of the extremist rightwing Project for a New American Century’s (PNAC) New World Order that was ushered in with the overthrow of the American government on December 12, 2000 with the help of the traitorous Zionist comrades in the U.S. government.  From Washington Blog:

The Chaos In Iraq Is By DESIGN The Real History of the American Strategy for Iraq and the Middle East

Neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz planned regime change in Iraq more than 20 years ago … in 1991.  But the goal wasn’t just regime change (or oil).  The goal was to break up the country, and to do away with the sovereignty of Iraq as a separate nation.

The Guardian noted in 2003:

President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt predicted devastating consequences for the Middle East if Iraq is attacked. “We fear a state of disorder and chaos may prevail in the region,” he said.  They are probably still splitting their sides with laughter in the Pentagon…

Its roots can be traced, at least in part, to a paper published in 1996 by an Israeli think-tank, the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies. Entitled “A clean break: a new strategy for securing the realm”, it was intended as a political blueprint for the incoming government of Binyamin Netanyahu.

As the title indicates, it advised the right-wing Mr Netanyahu to make a complete break with the past by adopting a strategy “based on an entirely new intellectual foundation, one that restores strategic initiative and provides the nation the room to engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism …”

The paper set out a plan by which Israel would “shape its strategic environment”, beginning with the removal of Saddam Hussein and the installation of a Hashemite monarchy in Baghdad.  With Saddam out of the way and Iraq thus brought under Jordanian Hashemite influence, Jordan and Turkey would form an axis along with Israel to weaken and “roll back” Syria…

The most efficient way of sparking such open-ended internecine conflict is to brutally smash the target country’s social matrix and physical infrastructure.   Ongoing unrest has the additional perk of justifying the maintenance and expansion of the military machine that feeds the financial and political fortunes of the metropolitan elite…

… after the US’s systematic destruction of Iraq and Libya—two notably oil-rich countries whose delicate ethnic and religious balances were well known to anyone in or out of government with more than passing interest in history—, and after the its carefully calibrated efforts to generate and maintain murderous and civilization-destroying stalemates in Syria and Egypt (something that is easily substantiated despite our media’s deafening silence on the subject), is downright blood-curdling…

“When we invaded and occupied Iraq, we didn’t just militarily defeat Iraq’s armed forces – we dismantled their army, and their police force, along with all the other institutions that held the country together. The educational system was destroyed, and not reconstituted.

The infrastructure was pulverized, and never restored. Even the physical hallmarks of a civilized society – roads, bridges, electrical plants, water facilities, museums, schools – were bombed out of existence or else left to fall into disrepair. Along with that, the spiritual and psychological infrastructure that enables a society to function – the bonds of trust, allegiance, and custom – was dissolved, leaving Iraqis to fend for themselves in a war of all against all…

“… What we are witnessing in post-Saddam Iraq is the erasure of an entire country. We can say, with confidence: We came, we saw, we atomized.”  The people who planned, agitated for, and executed this war are the very same people who have advanced Israeli interests – at America’s expense – at every opportunity…

In “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” a 1996 document prepared by a gaggle of neocons…  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was urged to “break out” of Israel’s alleged stagnation and undertake a campaign of “regime change” across the Middle East, targeting Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and eventually Iran.

With the exception of Iran – and that one’s still cooking on the back burner – this is precisely what has occurred. In 2003, in the immediate wake of our Pyrrhic “victory” in Iraq, then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared to a visiting delegation of American members of Congress that these “rogue states” – Iran, Libya, and Syria – would have to be next on the War Party’s target list…

This process of political fracturing in Iraq along sectarian lines will inevitably have an impact on Syria, where the US-NATO sponsored terrorists have in large part been defeated Destabilization and political fragmentation in Syria is also contemplated: Washington’s intent is no longer to pursue the narrow objective of “regime change” in Damascus. What is contemplated is the break up of both Iraq and Syria along sectarian-ethnic lines.

THE ARCHITECTS OF FOREIGN POLICY IN BOTH THE U.S. AND ISRAEL ARE EITHER LITERALLY ONE AND THE SAME – OR SEE THINGS IDENTICALLY.

When President Clinton left office America had near full employment, a healthy vibrant stock market, a balanced budget and a treasury fully stocked with surpluses into the future.  Make no mistake about it Bill Clinton was impeached because he vetoed a Republican tax cut for the rich and defied PNAC’s calls for war with Iraq. 

Much like President Trump, Clinton was not supposed to win the election in 1992.  His predecessor George H.W. Bush’s FBI Director Louis Freeh dispatched 200 FBI agents to comb through every trailer park in Arkansas to find any bimbo that would lodge a sexual harassment or rape charge against Clinton.  When Clinton managed to win the election, the AIPAC funded congress in collusion with the FBI immediately began laying the foundation for impeachment proceedings against President Clinton, they just needed to create an impeachable crime.

After congress was unable to remove President Clinton from office through impeachment, they turned their wrath on his Vice President Al Gore who was running for President against George W. Bush in 2000.  When Bush was unable to defeat Al Gore, the American government was overthrown on December 12, 2000 by five Zionist members of the Supreme Court with the full blessing of the AIPAC funded whores in congress. 

The George W. Bush Administration immediately passed the largest tax cut in American history and crashed the economy.  The tax cuts for the rich along with the Israeli/US government backed attacks on 911 has provided the impetus to kick of endless wars for Israel.

The Obama Administration was a continuation of the New World Order ushered in by the W. Bush Administration.  In 2016 again the FBI and CIA were utilized to fabricate bogus charges against President Trump.  However unlike President Clinton, President Trump is not a politician   so he doesn’t play by the CIA and FBI’s rules, he fights back.  He is determined to end these endless wars regime change wars so vehemently supported by the AIPAC supported whores in congress.  From LaRouche Pub:

Trump Takes on ‘Military-Industrial Complex’ That Sends American Sons and Daughters Home in Coffins

Oct. 10, 2019 (EIRNS)—President Donald Trump yesterday threw the horror of war back in the faces of reporters and politicians attacking his decision to pull U.S. military support from the Kurdish militia in northern Syria, counterposing his commitment to end the endless wars as he had promised in his 2016 campaign, to the threat from the “military-industrial complex” which President Dwight Eisenhower, a retired general, had warned of on Jan. 17, 1961, three days before leaving office.

Given the current refusal of most so-called media to report what the President of the United States says in full, and the elementary humanity which underpins his strategic decision, we here provide the key, concluding section from the transcript of Donald Trump’s discussion with White House reporters yesterday afternoon after signing two Executive Orders on Transparency in Federal Guidance and Enforcement:

“Now, if we go on the theory that some of the folks in Washington go by—who all do very well with the military-industrial complex.... You know, the military-industrial complex. Take a look at Dwight Eisenhower; he had it figured right many years ago. It’s got tremendous power. They like fighting. They make a lot of money when they fight.

“But it was time to bring our soldiers back home.... I will tell you: The hardest thing I have to do, by far, much harder than the witch hunt, is signing letters to parents of soldiers that have been killed. And it’s not only that—in areas where there’s not a lot of upside, if there’s any upside at all, and in many cases, it’s only downside.

“And especially when that solider was killed in a Blue-on-Green attack. You know what that is, right? That’s where a solider being trained or whatever turns his gun on an American solider.... We have many of them in Afghanistan—in particular, in Afghanistan.

“The hardest thing I have to do is signing those letters. That’s the hardest thing I have to do. And each letter is different.... And sometimes I call the parents. Sometimes I see the parents. I go to Dover [Air Force Base], when I can, but it’s—it’s so devastating for the parents when they bring that boy or young woman out of the back of those big, powerful planes in a coffin, and the parents are there....

“I’ll get there early.... I said, ‘The parents seemed to be okay.’ [The military staff at Dover AFB reply:] ‘Well, actually, sir, they aren’t.... Sir, you never know until the back of that massive cargo plane opens up.’

“And they walk down holding a coffin with four or five great soldiers on each side of it, representing our various forces.... And I see people that were smiling, ‘Oh, Mr. President, thank you for being here.  Thank you for being here.’  And I think they’re doing great.  And then, twenty minutes later, we’ll be outside when that big plane pulls up and that door comes down, and they are walking the coffin with their boy inside this coffin with an American flag over the top. 

And they’re walking that coffin down this ramp.  And I’ve seen people that I thought were really incredible the way they were … I didn’t even understand how they could take it so well—scream, like I’ve never seen anything before.  Sometimes they’ll run to the coffin. They’ll break through military barriers.  They’ll run to the coffin and jump on top of the coffin.  Crying mothers and wives. Crying desperately.

“And this is on these endless wars that just never stop. And there’s a time and there’s a place, but it’s time to stop.

“And just to finish, last Friday, I went to Walter Reed [Military Hospital].  And I gave out five Purple Hearts to incredible young men—in this case, all men.  And they took a beating. Beautiful people. They took a beating. One couldn’t be there because the beating was so great that he was at a totally different part of the world.  He lost a leg.  He lost an arm. Ryan. He had tremendous damage, beyond even what these young folks went through.

“But I’ll tell you what: For me, it’s very hard when I see that. It’s very hard. It’s easy to talk tough. You know, tough guys. All of these tough guys. ‘Let’s keep fighting. Let’s keep fighting.’ If they had to go to Walter Reed—.”

America is so blessed to have President Trump.  All the pearl clutching and heading for the fainting couches by the AIPAC funded whores in congress are expressions of outrage that their New World Order is being crushed by President Trump.  These AIPAC whores should be tried for treason.  This illegal war in Syria was never in America’s interests.  Bashir Assad is the democratically elected President of Syria and we instigated the civil war in Syria for Israel and there is no winning anything there for the US as the plan is to stay forever.

We have been at war for nearly 20 years since the New World Order was kicked off.  We have been arming and training terrorists for nearly 20 years.  What for?  Many times, like President Trump said “a soldier being trained will turn his gun on an American soldier in a Blue-on-Green attack.  We have many of them in Afghanistan—in particular, in Afghanistan.”

It wasn’t too long ago that the U.S. government was arming and financing the CIA backed terrorists in Syria who were fighting against the Pentagon backed terrorists.  From The L.A. Times:

Excerpt:

In Syria, militias armed by the Pentagon fight those armed by the CIA

Reporting from Amman, Jordan —  Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border, highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the bitter five-year-old civil war.

The fighting has intensified over the last two months, as CIA-armed units and Pentagon-armed ones have repeatedly shot at each other while maneuvering through contested territory on the northern outskirts of Aleppo, U.S. officials and rebel leaders have confirmed.

In mid-February, a CIA-armed militia called Fursan al Haq, or Knights of Righteousness, was run out of the town of Marea, about 20 miles north of Aleppo, by Pentagon-backed Syrian Democratic Forces moving in from Kurdish-controlled areas to the east…

“It is an enormous challenge,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who described the clashes between U.S.-supported groups as “a fairly new phenomenon.”  “It is part of the three-dimensional chess that is the Syrian battlefield,” he said…

President Obama this month authorized a new Pentagon plan to train and arm Syrian rebel fighters, relaunching a program that was suspended in the fall after a string of embarrassing setbacks which included recruits being ambushed and handing over much of their U.S.-issued ammunition and trucks to an Al Qaeda affiliate…

Congress has been pouring trillions into regime change wars on behalf of a foreign nation, Israel.  These AIPAC funded whores in congress, many with dual citizenship in Israel, have literally destroyed America in these American taxpayer funded skirmishes.  From Stephen Lendman:

Millions hungry and food insecure in the US

Poverty, unemployment, underemployment, hunger, food insecurity, and overall deprivation affect millions of households in the world’s richest country USA.  Why? It’s because both right wings of its war party devote most of the nation’s discretionary income for militarism, maintaining the Pentagon’s global empire of bases, and endless aggression in multiple theaters—along with bailouts for and handouts to corporate America.

In the new millennium alone, countless trillions of dollars went for the above interests, combined with tax cuts for the rich, while food stamps and other social justice programs are fast eroding to help pay for them as the national debt soars by over $1 trillion annually.  Most US households with one or more working members have little or no savings—leaving them vulnerable to hunger and homelessness from one or more missed paychecks.

According to Feeding America, 79% of US households the organization aids rely on “inexpensive unhealthy food to feed their families,” 84% of households with children functioning this way.  The vast majority of Feeding America (FA) client households face unacceptable choices—69% forced at times to choose between food and utilities, 66% between food and medical care, 31% between food and education.

Force-fed neoliberal harshness by Republicans and undemocratic Dems contributed to 58% of FA’s client households having one or more members with high blood pressure, 33% affected by diabetes—these numbers much higher among households with seniors, 77% and 47% respectively.  Nearly half of FA client households have one or members in “fair or poor health.”

Because of unemployment or poverty wages, one in six FA client households “experienced a foreclosure or eviction in the past five years.”  The vast majority of FA client households are food insecure (84%)—without access to sufficient, affordable, nutritious food, at times going hungry.  According to the US Department of Agriculture in 2018, food insecurity affects 37 million Americans, including over 11 million children—the numbers likely way understated.

Feeding America explained that impoverished households and others above the poverty line experience food insecurity for inadequate ability to buy what’s needed, adding, “Food insecurity does not exist in isolation, as low-income families are affected by multiple, overlapping issues like lack of affordable housing, social isolation, chronic or acute health problems, high medical costs, and low wages.”

“Taken together, these issues are important social determinants of health” and well-being—fast deteriorating in the United States of I Don’t Care, the world’s richest country with the greatest wealth disparity among developed nations. 

The state of the nation is shameful, serving its privileged class exclusively, exploiting most others to benefit its well-off members.  Food insecurity and hunger impact virtually “every community in the United States,” said FA… 

Food insecurity affects both urban and rural areas nationwide.  People of color (Blacks and Latinos) are disproportionately affected by hunger and food insecurity.  The states with the highest rates of food insecurity are Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maine, and Oklahoma.  “[H]ouseholds with children ha[ve] a substantially higher rate of food insecurity” and hunger, said Do Something.org.

US Census data show around half of US households are impoverished or bordering it—a permanent underclass in the world’s richest country, young children and the elderly most affected.  Poverty, homelessness, hunger, food insecurity, unaffordable healthcare, and overall deprivation affect countless millions of Americans.

It’s the shame of the nation—a let ‘em eat cake society, uncaring about the vast majority of its citizens.

That is how life in America is in a war based economy.  The AIPAC funded whores in the American congress couldn’t care less about the American people.  Their gullets are full, their families collect billions in cash bennies from the war profiteers they fund at over a trillion a year.  Their corporate donors cash-in off their failing companies as the American people are sick, broke, homeless, helpless and hopeless.  From Content Time:

Biggest Golden Parachutes

As outcry grows over executives who reap millions in severance bonuses in the face of their companies' downfalls and bail-outs, TIME takes a look at other golden parachutes — and the people who opened

During his 15-year tenure as CEO and chairman of UnitedHealth Group Inc., McGuire turned the regional health insurer into the second largest managed care company in the U.S. He received his thank yous in the form of stock options—$1.6 billion of them, to be exact—but he took some of them on the days the company's stock price hit yearly lows, profiting when the stocks went up again.

McGuire was asked to leave in October 2006 after federal prosecutors and the IRS requested documents concerning his stock options and executive compensation. He later agreed to return $600 million in various payback agreements, including one with the SEC. But McGuire retained about $800 million in options.

The American people are told by the AIPAC paid media whores that Medicare for all will cost $30 trillion dollars over ten years.  Well yeah, if trillions go to insurance execs.  McGuire is the norm not the exception.  Now the AIPAC whores in congress want to impeach President Trump for asking Ukraine’s new president to look into the billions Vice President Joe Biden’s son for sitting on an energy company’s Board of Directors. 

Biden was Obama’s point man for the overthrow of the elected government in Ukraine in 2004 along with AIPAC’s Victoria Nuland and company.  Over 5 billion in gold was flown out of Ukraine and delivered to the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. 

The Ukraine coup was organized by the same Zionists who destroyed Iraq, Syria, and Libya etc.  Now the AIPAC whores in congress are going to impeach Trump just like they impeached Clinton.  It’s the same game plan, they can’t beat him at the ballot box so impeach him.  From Matt Taibbi:

Excerpt:

We're in a permanent coup

Americans might soon wish they just waited to vote their way out of the Trump era

I’ve lived through a few coups. They’re insane, random, and terrifying, like watching sports, except your political future depends on the score.

The kickoff begins when a key official decides to buck the executive. From that moment, government becomes a high-speed head-counting exercise. Who’s got the power plant, the airport, the police in the capital? How many department chiefs are answering their phones? Who’s writing tonight’s newscast?

When the KGB in 1991 tried to reassume control of the crumbling Soviet Union by placing Mikhail Gorbachev under arrest and attempting to seize Moscow, logistics ruled. Boris Yeltsin’s crew drove to the Russian White House in ordinary cars, beating KGB coup plotters who were trying to reach the seat of Russian government in armored vehicles. A key moment came when one of Yeltsin’s men, Alexander Rutskoi – who two years later would himself lead a coup against Yeltsin – prevailed upon a Major in a tank unit to defy KGB orders and turn on the “criminals.”

We have long been spared this madness in America. Our head-counting ceremony was Election Day. We did it once every four years.

That’s all over, in the Trump era.

On Thursday, news broke that two businessmen said to have “peddled supposedly explosive information about corruption involving Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden” were arrested at Dulles airport on “campaign finance violations.” The two figures are alleged to be bagmen bearing “dirt” on Democrats, solicited by Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman will be asked to give depositions to impeachment investigators. They’re reportedly going to refuse. Their lawyer John Dowd also says they will “refuse to appear before House Committees investigating President Donald Trump.” Fruman and Parnas meanwhile claim they had real derogatory information about Biden and other politicians, but “the U.S. government had shown little interest in receiving it through official channels.”

For Americans not familiar with the language of the Third World, that’s two contrasting denials of political legitimacy.

The men who are the proxies for Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani in this story are asserting that “official channels” have been corrupted. The forces backing impeachment, meanwhile, are telling us those same defendants are obstructing a lawful impeachment inquiry.

This latest incident, set against the impeachment mania and the reportedly “expanding” Russiagate investigation of U.S. Attorney John Durham, accelerates our timeline to chaos. We are speeding toward a situation when someone in one of these camps refuses to obey a major decree, arrest order, or court decision, at which point Americans will get to experience the joys of their political futures being decided by phone calls to generals and police chiefs.

My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

The Trump presidency is the first to reveal a full-blown schism between the intelligence community and the White House. Senior figures in the CIA, NSA, FBI and other agencies made an open break from their would-be boss before Trump’s inauguration, commencing a public war of leaks that has not stopped.

The first big shot was fired in early January, 2017, via a CNN.com headline, “Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him.” This tale, about the January 7th presentation of former British spy Christopher Steele’s report to then-President-elect Trump, began as follows:

Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.

Four intelligence chiefs in the FBI’s James Comey, the CIA’s John Brennan, the NSA’s Mike Rogers, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, presented an incoming president with a politically disastrous piece of information, in this case a piece of a private opposition research report.

Among other things because the news dropped at the same time Buzzfeed decided to publish the entire “bombshell” Steele dossier, reporters spent that week obsessing not about the mode of the story’s release, but about the “claims.” In particular, audiences were rapt by allegations that Russians were trying to blackmail Trump with evidence of a golden shower party commissioned on a bed once slept upon by Barack Obama himself.

Twitter exploded. No other news story mattered. For the next two years, the “claims” of compromise and a “continuing” Trump-Russian “exchange” hung over the White House like a sword of Damocles.

Few were interested in the motives for making this story public. As it turned out, there were two explanations, one that was made public, and one that only came out later. The public justification as outlined in the CNN piece, was to “make the President-elect aware that such allegations involving him [were] circulating among intelligence agencies.”

However, we know from Comey’s January 7, 2017 memo to deputy Andrew McCabe and FBI General Counsel James Baker there was another explanation. Comey wrote:

I said I wasn’t saying this was true, only that I wanted [Trump] to know both that it had been reported and that the reports were in many hands. I said media like CNN had them and were looking for a news hook. I said it was important that we not give them the excuse to write that the FBI has the material or [redacted] and that we were keeping it very close-hold.

Imagine if a similar situation had taken place in January of 2009, involving president-elect Barack Obama. Picture a meeting between Obama and the heads of the CIA, NSA, and FBI, along with the DIA, in which the newly-elected president is presented with a report complied by, say, Judicial Watch, accusing him of links to al-Qaeda.

Imagine further that they tell Obama they are presenting him with this information to make him aware of a blackmail threat, and to reassure him they won’t give news agencies a “hook” to publish the news.

Now imagine if that news came out on Fox days later. Imagine further that within a year, one of the four officials became a paid Fox contributor. Democrats would lose their minds in this set of circumstances.  The country mostly did not lose its mind, however, because the episode did not involve a traditionally presidential figure like Obama, nor was it understood to have been directed at the institution of “the White House” in the abstract.

Instead, it was a story about an infamously corrupt individual, Donald Trump, a pussy-grabbing scammer who bragged about using bankruptcy to escape debt and publicly praised Vladimir Putin. Audiences believed the allegations against this person and saw the intelligence/counterintelligence community as acting patriotically, doing their best to keep us informed about a still-breaking investigation of a rogue president.

But a parallel story was ignored. Leaks from the intelligence community most often pertain to foreign policy. The leak of the January, 2017 “meeting” between the four chiefs and Trump – which without question damaged both the presidency and America’s standing abroad – was an unprecedented act of insubordination.

It was also a bold new foray into domestic politics by intelligence agencies that in recent decades began asserting all sorts of frightening new authority. They were kidnapping foreigners, assassinating by drone, conducting paramilitary operations without congressional notice, building an international archipelago of secret prisons, and engaging in mass warrantless surveillance of Americans.

We found out in a court case just last week how extensive the illegal domestic surveillance has been, with the FBI engaging in tens of thousands of warrantless searches involving American emails and phone numbers under the guise of combating foreign subversion.

The agencies’ new trick is inserting themselves into domestic politics using leaks and media pressure. The “intel chiefs” meeting was just the first in a series of similar stories, many following the pattern in which a document was created, passed from department from department, and leaked…

To be sure, “people familiar with the matter” leaked a lot of true stories in the last few years, but many were clearly problematic even at the time of release. Moreover, all took place in the context of constant, hounding pressure from media figures, congressional allies like Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, as well as ex-officials who could make use of their own personal public platforms in addition to being unnamed sources in straight news reports. They used commercial news platforms to argue that Trump had committed treason, needed to be removed from office, and preferably also indicted as soon as possible.

A shocking number of these voices were former intelligence officers who joined Clapper in becoming paid news contributors. Op-ed pages and news networks are packed now with ex-spooks editorializing about stories in which they had personal involvement: Michael Morell, Michael Hayden, Asha Rangappa, and Andrew McCabe among many others, including especially all four of the original “intel chiefs”: Clapper, Rogers, Comey, and MSNBC headliner John Brennan.

Russiagate birthed a whole brand of politics, a government-in-exile, which prosecuted its case against Trump via a constant stream of “approved” leaks, partisans in congress, and an increasingly unified and thematically consistent set of commercial news outlets.

These mechanisms have been transplanted now onto the Ukrainegate drama. It’s the same people beating the public drums, with the messaging run out of the same congressional committees, through the same Nadlers, Schiffs, and Swalwells. The same news outlets are on full alert.

The sidelined “intel chiefs” are once again playing central roles in making the public case. Comey says “we may now be at a point” where impeachment is necessary. Brennan, with unintentional irony, says the United States is “no longer a democracy.” Clapper says the Ukraine whistleblower complaint is “one of the most credible” he’s seen.

As a reporter covering the 2015–2016 presidential race, I thought Trump’s campaign was disturbing on many levels, but logical as a news story. He succeeded for class reasons, because of flaws in the media business that gifted him mass amounts of coverage, and because he took cunning advantage of long-simmering frustrations in the electorate.

He also clearly catered to racist fears, and to the collapse in trust in institutions like the news media, the Fed, corporations, NATO, and, yes, the intelligence services. In enormous numbers, voters rejected everything they had ever been told about who was and was not qualified for higher office…

Trump stands accused of using the office of the presidency to advance political aims, in particular pressuring Ukraine to investigate potential campaign rival Joe Biden. He’s guilty, but the issue is how guilty, in comparison to his accusers.

Trump, at least insofar as we know, has not used section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor political rivals. He hasn’t deployed human counterintelligence “informants” to follow the likes of Hunter Biden. He hasn’t maneuvered to secure Special Counsel probes of Democrats.

And while Donald Trump conducting foreign policy based on what he sees on Fox and Friends is troubling, it’s not in the same ballpark as CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times engaging in de facto coverage partnerships with the FBI and CIA to push highly politicized, phony narratives like Russiagate.

Trump’s tinpot Twitter threats and cancellation of White House privileges for dolts like Jim Acosta also don’t begin to compare to the danger posed by Facebook, Google, and Twitter – under pressure from the Senate – organizing with groups like the Atlantic Council to fight “fake news” in the name of preventing the “foment of discord.”

I don’t believe most Americans have thought through what a successful campaign to oust Donald Trump would look like. Most casual news consumers can only think of it in terms of Mike Pence becoming president. The real problem would be the precedent of a de facto intelligence community veto over elections, using the lunatic spookworld brand of politics that has dominated the last three years of anti-Trump agitation.

CIA/FBI-backed impeachment could also be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If Donald Trump thinks he’s going to be jailed upon leaving office, he’ll sooner or later figure out that his only real move is to start acting like the “dictator” MSNBC and CNN keep insisting he is.

Why give up the White House and wait to be arrested, when he still has theoretical authority to send Special Forces troops rappelling through the windows of every last Russiagate/Ukrainegate leaker? That would be the endgame in a third world country, and it’s where we’re headed, unless someone calls off this craziness. Welcome to the Permanent Power Struggle.

Make no mistake about it, if Trump is impeached it will be a spook’s coup.  Every future election must have the blessing of American, British and Israeli spooks or the winner will be removed.  By Trump bitch slapping the Syria regime change war, they are more desperate than ever to remove him.  From LaRouche pub:

Joe Biden and Ukraine: A Corrupt, Dim-Witting Agent of Brit Intelligence?

Although the Joe Biden 2020 Presidential campaign is now finished, as a result of the already-released and soon-to-be-released Ukraine revelations, it may very well drag on for several weeks before it has officially been declared dead. An accurate autopsy as to what the cause of death was, however, will not be submitted by the Fake News media to the American people, under any circumstances.

“This is pre-eminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly,” said President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in March 1933.

“As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP.” These are the words of Donald Trump, and this is increasingly becoming the inevitable conclusion (even before the Barr and other investigations are completed), which anyone that confronts the present crisis must consider—even the most perplexed.

Just as FDR faced a fascist bankers’ coup against his Presidency, in 1934, so Donald Trump faces one today in 2019, led by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, as well as by a treasonous faction of American intelligence now being deployed through the Former-Democratic Party’s campaign for impeachment of the President of the United States. It is through looking at the Presidential investigation of Ukraine, and of Joe Biden, that the ugly truth about the “bankers’ coup” is best revealed, at the moment.

The President of the United States is committed, as his oath of office requires, to finding out the role foreigners played in the 2016 election meddling directed against him by the Obama White House and John Brennan’s CIA.

The big question is whether the British were running the whole show of illegal surveillance and black propaganda against Trump centrally, or whether Obama and Brennan also farmed it out to other nations. This investigation threatens to pull the entire filthy Anglo-American intelligence apparatus down, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who has recently described the intelligence community as “her wheelhouse.” Is Pelosi now the acting chairman of “the intelligence agency formerly known as the Democratic Party”?

Obama/Biden, Hillary Clinton, and their entourage used the awesome powers of “Five Eyes” surveillance and propaganda—called in the intelligence trade, “public diplomacy”—first to attempt to rig the 2016 election (which failed) and then to undermine Trump’s presidency. They then claimed that all of their illegal activities were committed in the service of chasing a plot by the Russians to “undermine the elections and blow up the world.”

This 1950s-style “Russian plot” story was manufactured to prevent Trump from making peace with Russia, which is against the unnatural globalist “national interests” of Wall Street and the City of London financial district.

The City of London and Wall Street financial houses, which the intelligence mandarins serve, are on the edge of another blowout, bigger than 2007-08. Bank of England Governor Mark Carney called for “financial regime change” in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in late August. That means “take aim against the United States’ sovereign national credit system.” They know Donald Trump won’t tolerate that. Trump stated at the United Nations: “The future belongs not to the globalists. The future belongs to the patriots.”

The “Green New Deal” which these bankers—not the environmentalists—originated, is nothing but a return to “ecologism” and the zero population growth schemes of the 1930s European-style ecofascism. The Green New Deal is a design for new massive austerity and genocide to be imposed on Africa, Asia, and South America that is supposed to somehow appear to be a heroic defense of “mother nature.”

The shutdown of fossil fuels is the only way, other than thermonuclear war, to reduce the population by billions in the short term. That is why Mark Carney, Michael Bloomberg, Christine Lagarde, and others want a supranational “green banker’s dictatorship.”

Trump, on the other hand, has proposed: space exploration to the Moon and Mars, to discover the higher laws that can power our “terrestrial” economy; reindustrialization of the United States on a modern infrastructure platform; and nation-state to nation-state treaties. Durable human survival requires rejecting totally the globalist framework that has been destroying the U.S. and increasing the risk of world war.

To stop this, the intelligence community, acting through House Speaker Pelosi and the zombie Congress, is attacking the U.S. Constitution itself in their bloodlust to take Trump out. They wish to treat the United States as they treated Chile in 1973, Guatemala in 1954, Iran in 1953, etc.

They seek to ban Trump supporters’ speech, and that of others as well; they seek to destroy the President’s powers under Article II to conduct foreign policy; they seek to end the executive role of the President enshrined by our founders. They are involved, in the President’s words, in a full-scale coup d’état, to transform the United States into a British-style parliamentary system, preventing any effective role for the nation’s citizens in determining their future.

So, what are you, the American people, prepared to do about it? Before you make the potentially fatal mistake of deciding to “not get involved,” read on.

Biden, Obama, Hillary Support Neo-Nazis in Ukraine

The Joe Biden scandal concerning Ukraine goes far, far beyond the millions of dollars awarded to Biden’s son, Hunter, for use of the Biden name on various dirty corporate boards in Ukraine and China. As of February 2014, Joe Biden was the U.S. point-man on the Ukraine coup atrocity.

The 2014 Ukraine Maidan uprising was aimed at creating a violently anti-Russian, International Monetary Fund controlled regime on Russia’s border, thereby creating a hair-trigger for thermonuclear war. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton surpassed the most right-wing of neocons, working directly with known fascists for this purpose. An estimated $5.1 billion in U.S. taxpayers’ dollars was spent on this effort, which set the world on a march toward thermonuclear Armageddon.

Donald Trump’s election and his promise to seek positive relations with Russia temporarily stopped the mad war drive. The shock troops used by Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland to pull off the coup against Ukraine’s duly elected President, Viktor Yanukovych, were certifiable neo-Nazis, supporters of the World War II Ukrainian butcher Stefan Bandera, who mass-murdered thousands of Poles and Jews.

The full dossier on that Nazi coup in Ukraine was reported in a package of articles in the February 24, 2017 issue of EIR, pages 4-20. The Ukrainian-American network surrounding the Chalupa sisters that works with the Democratic National Committee, the Department of Justice, and the State Department to destroy Trump’s candidacy, also supports Bandera’s legacy.

Nazi Devils in the Details

Who were the Bidens’ friends in Ukraine?

“Papa” Joe made various forays to Ukraine to impose shock austerity on the population under terms dictated by the IMF. Biden personally assisted in the reshuffling of Ukraine’s oligarchs so that only those who were rabidly anti-Russian survived. Thousands of Ukrainians died at the result of the civil war in eastern Ukraine and IMF austerity in western Ukraine, while the looting of the economy by the oligarchs was protected by Joe and his friends.

Burisma Holdings, which hired Hunter Biden, is nominally owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, an oil and gas oligarch. It is actually owned, however, by a notorious Ukrainian gangster, Igor Kolomoisky. Kolomoisky had been a significant supporter of the new Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelensky, despite Kolomoisky’s well-earned reputation as a fraudster, violent thug, and overall international crook.

It is Kolomoisky who has provided the most substantial funding for the war in Eastern Ukraine and the Azov Battalion. Following Hunter Biden’s receipt of his Ukraine riches, Kolomoisky was removed from lists banning his travel to the U.S. and his notorious career was whitewashed, despite the fact that national and international financial agencies still viewed him as an entrenched crook.

Hence, the President might have been referring to this when he questioned Zelensky in the infamous transcript as to whether the “same people” were around him as were involved in the corrupt dealings with Hunter Biden.


In June 2018, Michael Carpenter, Joe Biden’s chief sidekick in his Ukrainian perfidies, brought Andriy Parubiy, then the neo-Nazi speaker of Ukraine parliament, to meet with the U.S. Congress about lethal aid to Ukraine to continue the genocide in eastern Ukraine. When journalist Max Blumenthal confronted Carpenter with the fact that Parubiy had founded two neo-Nazi parties, the Social National Party and the Patriot of Ukraine Party, Carpenter said that Blumenthal was pitching “Russian propaganda.”

Papa Joe’s Ukraine activities have had devastating blowback worldwide, including in the United States. Four white nationalists who trained with the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, now part of Ukraine’s National Guard, participated in the August 11-12, 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, Virginia; and the Christchurch shooter in New Zealand, whose manifesto influenced recent mass shooters in the United States, also says he visited and trained with the Azov Battalion. William Jarrett Smith, the U.S. Army soldier recently arrested for plotting bomb attacks on American media outlets and Democratic Party politicians, was also an Azov trainee.

So, when Joe Biden opened his vacuous campaign for President with gauzy footage from Charlottesville, proclaiming himself the hero in a fight for America against what he claims Donald Trump represents, think about what you were bamboozled to think, and what was actually going on.

What You Can Do

Join us in stopping this coup right now. Find out if your congressman has joined the intelligence agency/bankers’ coup against the Presidency. Tell him or her to knock it off! Demand full disclosure of British and other foreign intelligence interference in the election of 2016, and the coming election of 2020.

This fraud cannot be allowed to continue with a financial crisis on the horizon. The nation needs to come together, now, behind a true program for economic recovery, a program found in Lyndon LaRouche’s Four Laws for Economic Recovery: Glass Steagall, to prevent a new bailout at citizen expense; a National Bank, to fund the huge infrastructure projects we need to get the country moving fully again; a renewal of the crash programs on the frontiers of science, such as fusion energy development and space exploration. We need an agreement with Russia, China, and India, now, for a new fixed exchange rate monetary system, and for joint development and scientific projects.

The redirection of the economy toward the production of capital goods, city-building, and modern industry, will ensure that wages and public services are at a level sufficient for family formation, for quality healthcare, and for an education that fosters human creativity—the actual driver of any economy. The warmongers, and those who conducted this insurrection against the President, need to be exposed and jailed.

Make no mistake about it, this bogus impeachment inquiry is a British/Israeli/CIA coup against the American people and their right to elect their president.  Trump pulling troops out of Syria is the end of the Project for a New American Century era of terror.  It is over and now let the perpetrators be brought to justice.  Let us build a new American foreign policy of peace and cooperation with Turkey, Syria, Russia and China.  The world will be better for it.  God Bless President Trump and God Bless America.
