Greg Hunter had an interesting interview with Larry Klayman
about the LA Riots. Klayman’s perspective is that those riots are the precursor
to a Marxist Bolshevik-like revolution using the Communist method to
destabilize than institute a Communist government.

Renowned attorney Larry Klayman predicted on USAWatchdog
months ago that there would be full-blown, legal civil war happening in the
court system. With
272 cases and counting filed against the Trump Administration, that
prediction has proven spot-on. Klayman
also predicted months ago that violence from the “rabid Left” would
not only increase but “explode.” The LA riots prove another bullseye for
Klayman. What Klayman is seeing is far more than some violent protests on
the West Coast. Klayman warns, “This is a very dire period. We knew
this was coming. This is more than an insurrection, this is a Bolshevik
style revolution. It’s not just Bolsheviks, but it’s every conceivable
leftist radical group. This is financed, undoubtedly, by people like
George Soros. . .. Karen Bass is a DEI affirmative action mayor in Los Angeles.
She was going to be Biden’s second choice to be vice president, God forbid. .
.. They are using her. The Left is using her, and they are using Newsom
and others. They want there to be some kind of tragedy in LA. They
want there to be some kind of Kent State where someone gets killed. They
want one of these protesters to be killed by the National Guard or by the
military. This will be a flash point to carry forth this Bolshevik
revolution. They want to take this county down to ground zero. This
is what they are trying to do. They want to destabilize the country and
bring these radicals out.”
Klayman goes on to say, “There is, undoubtedly, foreign
money involved probably from communist China, Iran and North Korea. There
is probably money coming from the Left with Soros and others. They want
this country at a point that is destroyed, and then they take control.
That is their motivation. That is what happened in Russia when they
had the Bolshevik Revolution. That’s what happened in China with
Mao. This is a plan. This is a playbook. This is why we need
to push back, and that is why President Trump needs to crush this right now to
make an example of this. Frankly, he should have Governor Newsom
arrested, and he should have Karen
Bass arrested. They are inciting violence, and they are fomenting
revolution. . .. We are under attack, and President Trump
needs to declare martial law.”
Klayman says the riots in LA are not a sign of Trumps
failure as a President, but it is a sign of his success. Klaman explains,
“They are making their move. We predicted this several months ago.
It was just a matter of time, and it built and built and built, and now they
see Trump, regardless of these judges . . . and they see Trump is at the point
of possibly succeeding. So, they are going to do a number on the
President of the United States. . .. Iran is not going to give way, and
they are going to continue to enrich uranium. They know, ultimately, we
will be backed into a corner, and we are going to have to attack them.
This is a last-ditch effort to try to eliminate President Trump and try to
weaken our country before that occurs.”
Klayman says the so-called autopen scandal of the Biden
Administration will reveal that pardons were sold by staff. Klayman
contends this is something Trump did not do in office the first term or this
term. Klayman says, “The whole system is corrupt. It is a
pay-to-play system. . .. The American people were sold out. I doubt
there was not much of anything that was approved by Joe Biden.”
In closing, Klayman says, “This is a do or die life experience.
Today it’s LA, tomorrow it’s going to be coming to your hometown and your
neighborhood.”
There is more in the 43-minute interview.

Jerome Corsi filed a lawsuit against Robert Mueller for “illegal
surveillance and leaking” in relation to Corsi (I’m confident Corsi isn’t the only person whose Rights were impugned).
The DOJ tried to have the lawsuit tossed or at least delayed due to the
government shutdown.
EPIC FAIL! The
presiding Judge would have none of it.
Here’s the story pedigree as to how I came across it: I read
about on a MeWe Group OFFICIAL TEA PARTY USA
(12/28/18 12:31 PM), who got it
from David J Harris Jr. via Facebook (12/28/18
10:30 AM), who posted from his (i.e. Harris) website DavidHarrisJr.com
though attributed to Steven Ahle (12/28/18),
who excerpted from the Washington Times
(12/27/18).
Below I am cross
posting the details from the DavidHarrisJr.com website.
The good guys finally
won one. The DOJ tried to get the corruption lawsuit against Robert Mueller
tossed out. The judge even refused a delay and said the trial will go on as
originally planned. The DOJ insisted that the trial be put off because of the
partial shutdown, but since the Mueller investigation isn’t being halted, that
motion was nothing more than a joke. Mueller must now answer for his illegal
surveillance and leaking to the media. Jerome Corsi, who brought the lawsuit
applauded the judge’s ruling and says he plans to be in court for the
proceeding.
Lawyers for the Justice
Department requested the stay on Wednesday, potentially delaying
next week’s court date indefinitely.
“The Department does not know
when funding will be restored by Congress,” James Gilligan, acting director of
the federal programs branch of the Justice
Department’s civil division, wrote in the motion. “Absent an
appropriation, Department
of Justice attorneys are generally prohibited from working, even
on a voluntary basis, except in very limited circumstances,” Mr. Gilligan
added, including “emergencies involving the safety of human life or the
protection of property.”
Mr. Corsi’s
lawyer, conservative watchdog Larry Klayman, cried foul in a response filed in
court within hours.
“Defendants’ motion is, in
practice, proffered tactically for delay,” argued Mr. Klayman. “Indeed, the so
called ‘government shutdown’ is only partial, and Defendants Robert Mueller and
the Office of the Special Counsel, which is an integral part of the U.S. Department
of Justice, is excepted in any event. Thus, Special Counsel Mueller’s
prosecutors and legal counsel can, at a minimum, be present at the hearing on
January 3, 2019.”

Many may already know this, but I just ran into this story
after largely light blogging during Christmas. I just read a WND story that the U.S. Assistant Attorney in
Nevada intends to appeal U.S. District
Judge Gloria Navarro’s dismissal of all charges against Cliven Bundy, his
sons and supporters for the 2014 armed standoff with Bureau of Land Management
agents.
Why were the charges dismissed?
BECAUSE the Federal Prosecutors “… conduct in the case as “outrageous” and “flagrant,”
asserting prosecutors concealed evidence favorable to the defense.”
President Trump needs to drain that Obama swamp in Nevada!
JRH 12/26/18
[Thanks to all who
offered Christmas support in this Blogger’s laptop update. Your generosity is
always appreciated: Please Support SlantRight 2.0]
The federal government is preparing to appeal the dismissal
of charges against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, his sons and supporters for the
2014 armed standoff with Bureau of Land Management agents.
The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Gloria
Navarro, who scolded the government’s conduct in the case
as “outrageous” and “flagrant,” asserting prosecutors concealed
evidence favorable to the defense.
The case was dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning the
government is not allowed to retry the defendants regarding the standoff.
Now, Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, has
told WND that Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth White of the district of Nevada
informed him the federal government has prepared an appeal brief.
Klayman said he asked for confirmation in a letter to the
Justice Department solicitor general, Noel Francisco.
“In light of the history of this case and the gross
injustice which has already been meted out against my client Cliven Bundy, his
sons, and family by rogue Obama-era prosecutors,” Klayman wrote, the only
reason for an appeal would be to cover up for “corrupt prosecutors.”
And he noted that the behavior of prosecutors in the case
remains “under review” by the Department’s Office of Professional
Responsibility and the Inspector General.
“It is time to allow my clients to go on with their lives
and not continue to be persecuted by a Department of ‘Injustice,’ which rather
than meting out justice, ‘circles the wagons’ to try to unethically and
unlawfully protect its own,” he wrote.
Klayman included with the letter a lengthy statement by
whistleblower Larry Wooten, a special agent with the Department of Interior and
Bureau of Land Management, who detailed alleged misconduct in the case.
His description begins: “I routinely observed, [in the case]
and the investigation revealed a widespread pattern of bad judgment, lack of
discipline, incredible bias, unprofessionalism and misconduct, as well as
likely policy, ethical, and legal violations among senior and supervisory staff
at the BLM’s Office of Law Enforcement and Security.”
Wooten said the issues he uncovered put “our agency and
specific law enforcement supervisors in potential legal, civil, and
administrative jeopardy.”
When he went to superiors, he found they either knew of the
issues already or had “instigated the misconduct.”
He charges “gross mismanagement,” “abuse of authority,”
violations of the merit system principles and “prohibited personnel practices.”
The standoff between federal agents and Bundy
supporters stemmed from the government’s contention Bundy had been grazing
his cattle on publicly owned land and was therefore responsible
for substantial past fees. Klayman, among others, has insisted
the prosecution of the Bundy family was politically motivated.
Bundy and his supporters contend the federal government has
no authority over state lands.

I realize there are a lot of unsubstantiated Conspiracy
Theories out there. Because of this Conspiracy Theories are much like the old
story of a Boy who Cried Wolf. In this
day and age of television, video games, laptops, etc.; parents may not share
classic stories like Aesop’s Fables that end with a learning moral. The moral
of the Boy who Cried Wolf is if you tell an alarming lie all the time,
when you tell the alarming truth, no one will believe you.
Deciphering the credible from the incredible Conspiracies
brings up the Boy who Cried Wolf scenario in believability. I have
unappreciated disagreements with Conspiracy Theory enthusiasts about the
credible and incredible.
The current Deep State conspiracy to bring down the Trump
Administration by any lying means necessary is remarkably credible hence
believable.
The sad thing about this anti-Trump conspiracy is that a
huge swath of Americans that ONLY get their information from the primary
Mainstream Media (MSM), televised or print, are probably duped into believing
President Trump is a corrupt criminal. The problem is the MSM is a part of the
Deep State cabal conspiring against President Trump and the agenda he was
elected to perform.
Ergo, if the MSM actually tells the truth about some info,
their dishonesty has been so pervasive, I can’t believe them. AND YOU shouldn’t
believe their wolf crying either.
Thanks to the Winning
America Now e-newsletter, I have discovered some Deep State info
that Chief Justice John Roberts may have been blackmailed into being the
deciding Justice in validating Obamacare.
What was the possible dirt collecting method against Chief
Justice Roberts? Illegal surveillance by the CIA and/or NSA perpetrated by the
Obama Administration.
In full disclosure of the credibility/incredibility scale,
one of the sources involved in making this public is former Sheriff Joe Arpaio who
nearly convinced me that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya rather than
Hawaii. Arpaio made some very credible assessments of Obama’s Birth Certificate
validity. **
** On a personal level of opinion, I believe Obama was
indeed born in Hawaii rather than Kenya. However, sometime between Hawaii to
Indonesia and back to Hawaii, something hinky happened with Obama’s citizenship
status. It is my opinion that Obama’s citizenship records were thus messed up
in the travels that may have even gotten him into Occidental College as a
foreign exchange student. For me this explains the suspicious Birth Certificate
and the reasons Obama school records from childhood through college have been
sealed from public exposure. That’s my conjecture and not a proven fact.
Below is the illegal Obama surveillance story that if true,
should cause a huge Constitutional crisis with Obama forcing an
unconstitutional law into constitutional validity via clandestine blackmail.
Evidence shows that John
Roberts, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, was “hacked” by a
Deep State surveillance operation overseen by Obama administration CIA director
John Brennan and Obama director of national intelligence James Clapper.
Roberts, the Bush appointee
who made the decisive vote to uphold the constitutionality of Obamacare before
the 2012 election, was allegedly the victim of the same Deep State surveillance
program that spied on President Donald Trump.
Tapes released by Federal
Judge G. Murray Snow —preserved on a Whistleblower Soundcloud page— show
real estate billionaire Timothy Blixseth explaining Brennan and Clapper’s
surveillance program to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and detective Mike
Zullo. The existence of this surveillance program has been corroborated by
Wikileaks’ “Vault 7” release and by the public commentsof
former CIA and NSA contractor Dennis Montgomery, who says he worked on the
program for Brennan and Clapper.
Montgomery has gone public
with his claims exposing how the program was used to spy on President Donald
Trump when he was a private citizen. Montgomery has gained immunity and
desperately wants House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes or other
lawmakers to call him to testify about what he knows.
On the explosive tapes,
Blixseth walks Arpaio and Zullo through the details of the program on a
computer screen. At one point, the three begin pulling up specific names of
targeted individuals.
“You know who that guy is?
That’s the head of the FISA court they hacked into, Reggie Walton,” Blixseth
tells the investigators.
“John Roberts, the chief
justice of the Supreme Court, was hacked,” Blixseth tells Arpaio and Zullo.
Insiders have always been
skeptical of Roberts’ motives for siding with President Obama on the 2012
Obamacare case. While there’s still no available evidence that Roberts was
blackmailed, the allegation that he was “hacked” by Obama officials provides
some more context into the justice’s controversial career.
As Big League Politics reported,
former FBI director James Comey seized and buried volumes of information that
demonstrated this wide-ranging government surveillance operation targeting
Donald Trump before he became president.
Larry Klayman, attorney for
former NSA and CIA contractor and whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, delivered to
the FBI 47 hard drives and data amounting to more than 600 million pages of
documentation on the surveillance scheme. Then-FBI director James Comey’s
general counsel James Baker took the data into his possession, according to
multiple sources. But despite possessing Montgomery’s bombshell whistleblower
revelations, Comey never acted on or publicized the information.
Additionally, Comey’s former
firm Lockheed Martin granted entry to Montgomery to one of its facilities to
help him work on the alleged mass surveillance program, which was allegedly
overseen by Obama administration officials John Brennan and James Clapper and
specifically targeted Trump.
“This guy showed me 900
million phone calls. And I see myself in there. I see people I know. I
see Donald Trump in there a zillion times, and Bloomberg is in there,”
Blixseth said on the tape, referring to information that Montgomery allegedly
showed him.
“We don’t have any comment,”
the FBI told Big League Politics when questioned about the existence of the
program.
“I provided to the FBI
seventeen businesses of Donald Trump, including the Trump Tower, the Trump
leasing programs, all of these different programs, and including Trump himself
and the various family members that had been wiretapped under these programs,” Montgomery
said in a recent interview. “There has been a wiretap on Trump for years.”
“I started by going to
Maricopa County and showing that Sheriff Arpaio himself was wiretapped under
the Obama administration,” the whistleblower said.
“I was a CIA contractor both
under John Brennan and under James Clapper and these individuals were running
domestic surveillance programs in the United States collecting information on
Americans. This isn’t political. They were collecting information on
Republicans and Democrats. But they collected everything they could find. Bank
accounts, phone numbers, chats, emails, and they collected a massive amount of
it under the Obama administration,” Montgomery said.

top-level investigative reporters, filmmakers, and citizen journalists all over

Democratic Parties. We are not conservative. We are not liberal. We are road

Judge Andrew Napolitano has caused quite a stir amongst the
Media, the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters
(GCHQ), and officials in the U.S. government when the Judge stipulated that
GCHQ surveilled the Trump campaign for the treasonous President Barack Hussein
Obama. Here is the segment on Fox & Friends Tuesday March 14
morning:
[Blog Editor 4/27/18: I just discovered the HX Video was not only removed by Youtube but apparently the entire Youtube Account was removed which I chalk up censoring Conservatives. The video that was above was Judge Nap's appearance on Fox & Friends making the GCHQ connection. Here is Youtube's fake reasoning that I discovered by click the above HX Video Youtube Channel link: "This account has been terminated due to multiple or
severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, deceptive practices, and
misleading content or other Terms of Service violations."]
Very shortly after the Judge
said he had three sources, the Judge mysteriously - without comment – was
removed from Fox News air time. Incidentally, if you listened to the
segment, the Judge remarked that the GCHQ person who complied with Obama
resigned after Trump was inaugurated. Fox’s censorship means Napolitano
can neither name the three intelligence sources nor the name of the person who
resigned from GCHQ. ALSO, Fox News used later-in-the-day news anchors to
walk back Napolitano’s GCHQ/Obama assertion.
Fox censorship, Napolitano
silence on suspension, GCHQ public denial and an U.S. apology is a set-up the
typically credible Napolitano to look like a tinfoil conspiracist.
AND YET, is Judge Andrew Napolitano a discredited source on
Obama surveillance of President Trump’s campaign? Since I have contended that
Barack Hussein Obama was a crooked President from day one of his
Administration, I am not prepared to throw the Judge under the bus as all
others have seeming done.
Below are two articles that
should give you pause before you consider throwing Napolitano under the bus.
The first article is from today (3/22/17) from Bob Unruh and the second is from
Cliff Kinkaid of AIM posted on 3/21/17.
The first is close to
breaking news corroborated by Fox News. The second article pretty much
elaborates the details that Judge Andrew Napolitano alluded to in his 2-minute
50-second Fox & Friends segment. In fact, there is so much detail in
the second article it is a bit lengthy. You may want to come back a few times
to complete and digest the information that demonstrates a Crooked Obama and a
nefarious Intel community, not to mention an extremely untrustworthy Director
James Comey of the FBI.
The lawyer who founded
Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, Larry
Klayman, has sent a letter to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chairman of the
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, asking him to look at a
whistleblower’s evidence of “systematic illegal surveillance on prominent
Americans, again including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other
justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump, and even
yours truly.”
That spying was done,
Klayman’s letter contends, by the FBI.
It’s become a major issue
following President Trump’s assertion that he and Trump Tower were spied upon
by the federal government, and the subsequent denials by intelligence and
law-enforcement officials, including FBI Director James Comey, who famously
cleared Hillary Clinton on accusations she mishandled classified information as
secretary of state.
Klayman has been working with
Dennis Montgomery, a former NSA and Central Intelligence Agency contractor who
“left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of
information, much of which is classified.”
Montgomery then “sought to
come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate government entities,
including congressional intelligence committees, to expose that the spy
agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent
Americans.”
Explained Klayman: “Working
side by side with former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper,
who lied in congressional testimony, and former Obama Director of the CIA, the
equally ethically challenged John Brennan, Montgomery witnessed ‘up close and
personal’ this “Orwellian Big Brother’ intrusion on privacy, likely for
potential coercion, blackmail or other nefarious purposes.”
But he said the testimony has
been essentially ignored.
Now, however, with the issue
pending before Congress, there even are media reports that appear to
substantiate the general claims that the government has been spying. The New
York Times in January referenced wiretapping at Trump Tower, and just this
week ABC News documented that
the FBI monitored Trump Tower.
The report claimed, “But it
was not placed at the behest of Barack Obama, and the target was not the Trump
campaign of 2016. For two years ending in 2013, the FBI had a court-approved
warrant to eavesdrop on a sophisticated Russian organized crime
money-laundering network that operated out of unit 63A in Trump Tower in New
York.”
It resulted in the
indictments of more than 30 people, ABC said.
Explained the report: “The
FBI investigation did not implicate Trump. But Trump Tower was under close
watch. Some of the Russian mafia figures worked out of unit 63A in the iconic
skyscraper – just three floors below Trump’s penthouse residence – running what
prosecutors called an ‘international money-laundering, sports gambling and
extortion ring.'”
Klayman, a Washington
watchdog who repeatedly took on the Clinton political machine to investigate
suspicion of wrongdoing, explained in his letter to Nunes, which was copied to
other members of Congress, that he previously won a judgment from U.S. District
Judge Richard Leon preliminarily halting the “illegal, warrantless, and
massive surveillance of U.S. citiznes [sic] and lawful residents” in 2015.
As part of Nunes’ hearing on
claims of government spying, he invited “anyone who has information about these
topics to come forward.”
Klayman said that is exactly
what Montgomery has done.
“There is a myriad of
evidence, direct and circumstantial, of the illegal and unconstitutional
surveillance disclosed to the FBI by Montgomery,” said Klayman, describing
how his client made an on-camera interview with the agency about the misdeeds
some time ago.
He said Montgomery “holds
much of the roadmap to ‘draining the swamp’ of this corruption of our
democracy.”
Montgomery, Klayman said, has
information “that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal
surveillance on prominent Americans.”
During Montgomery’s interview
with FBI General Counsel James Baker, under grants of immunity, he “laid out
how persons like then businessman Donald Trump were illegally spied upon by
Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama administration.”
“He even claimed that these
spy agencies had manipulated voting in Florida during the 2008 presidential
election, where illegal tampering resulted in helping Obama to win the White
House.”
But that interview,
“conducted and videotaped by Special FBI Agents Walter Giardina and William
Barnett, occurred almost two years ago, and nothing that I know of has happened
since.”
Klayman wrote that it appears
to have been “buried” by Comey, possibly because “the FBI itself
collaborates with the spy agencies to conduct illegal surveillance.”
He said he previously
visited with a staff lawyer, Allen Souza, to inform Nunes of questions that
needed to be put to Comey while under oath.
“My expressed purpose: to
have Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee ask Comey, under oath,
why he and his FBI have seemingly not moved forward with the Montgomery
investigation while, on the other hand, the FBI director recently claimed
publicly, I believe falsely, that there is ‘no evidence’ of surveillance on
President Trump and those around him by the Obama administration.
“Indeed, there is,” he wrote.
He tells members of Congress
that Comey needs to be grilled during a subsequent hearing, now set for March
28. He asks Nunes to respond by March 24 to let “the American people, and Mr.
Montgomery … know where you and the other members of your
committee stand.”
“Do you intend to get at and
investigate the full truth, or as has regrettably been the case for many years
in government, sweep the truth under the carpet?”

letter were Reps. Adam Schiff, Mike Conaway, Peter King, Frank LoBiondo, Tom

A special report from
the Accuracy in Media Center for Investigative Journalism; Cliff Kincaid,
Director.
[AIM CIJ Director's Note:
UPDATE: Former NSA/CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery has told
Accuracy in Media through his attorney Larry Klayman that it is entirely
possible that the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) was
used as a back channel to collect and pass information-based on electronic
surveillance of Trump associates and Donald J. Trump personally-to officials in
the Obama administration. Montgomery said the procedure known as shell-game
eavesdropping, in which the NSA can deny they are wiretapping, and the GCHQ can
also deny that they are wiretapping, could have been used in this case. In
other words, the NSA, CIA or FBI would ask the British to conduct the
surveillance on behalf of the U.S. government so that U.S. officials could deny
their own involvement.
Montgomery said that he has
provided extensive evidence of illegal wiretapping by U.S. intelligence
agencies to the FBI, but that the Bureau has failed to act on the evidence
since he provided it almost two years ago.
Judge Andrew Napolitano of
Fox News had said, "The NSA has given GCHQ full 24/7 access to its
computers, so GCHQ - a foreign intelligence agency that, like the NSA, operates
outside our constitutional norms - has the digital versions of all electronic
communications made in America in 2016, including Trump's." [Bold Text
Editor JRH] However, it may be
difficult to find Obama's personal "fingerprints" on what happened,
Napolitano warned. Under these circumstances, the House Intelligence Committee
should ask FBI Director James Comey about Montgomery's evidence of illegal
wiretapping and then call in Montgomery for his own personal testimony. Klayman
says Montgomery can shed important light on how Trump and many other innocent
people can be targeted.
ØPlease call the office of
Rep. Devin Nunes at 202-225-4121 and urge that Congress question FBI Director
Comey about the Dennis Montgomery case.]
(Editor's Note: Public
hearings on this controversy are scheduled for March 20 and 28 by the House
Intelligence Committee.)
Senate Intelligence Committee
leaders from both parties, Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Mark Warner (D-VA),
have issued a disingenuous statement[1] that
"no element of the United States government" surveilled "Trump
Tower." They dishonestly evade the fact that media reporting[2] two
days earlier had said that British intelligence operating at U.S. behest had
likely been implicated in wiretapping Trump and Trump associates, all at the
instigation of the U.S. government.
White House Press Secretary
Sean Spicer said on March 16 that Fox News[2] sources
have reported[3] through
retired Judge Andrew Napolitano that then-President Obama had used two
officials to arrange with the British NSA, called GCHQ or Government
Communications Headquarters, to carry out the wiretapping of both Trump and
Trump associates. (See this AIM[4]guest
column.) The British now dispute this claim.
This evasive use of British
spying is done in order to leave no American "fingerprints[5]"
on the highly illegal operation, as the White House quoted Judge Napolitano. It
is a long-standing practice under treaty-like intelligence agreements that
British intelligence can use NSA facilities, and vice versa, for
shell-game eavesdropping.
The trick is for the two
agencies to swap places so that the NSA can deny they are wiretapping, and the
GCHQ can deny that they are wiretapping. The Brits are trying to escape in
between these moves of what a key expert has called the US-UK "wiretapping
shell game."
This is the first time
that news sources[2] have
explicitly stated that Obama personally ordered the wiretapping of Trump
himself, through Obama officials going to the British, though it has been
implied in the past by the suspicious lack of any circumspect denials, even
when The New York Times said on January 19 and 20 that "wiretapped
communications" went to the Obama White House. No one in the article said
"Obama White House-but not Obama personally."
Consider how one important
person-President Trump-got the clear media message that he was indeed the
target of the spying: President Trump told Fox News's Tucker Carlson that he
read this New York Times story of January 20 before he tweeted about Obama
"wiretapping" him. White House spokesman Spicer quoted from this
article.
President Trump told Carlson
on Fox[6] on
March 15 why he tweeted what he did: "Well, I've been reading...I think it
was January 20...New York Times article where they were talking about
wiretapping....I think they used that exact term."
NEW
YORK TIMES (print edition) Jan. 20, 2017, Headline:
"Wiretapped Data
Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides"
"found no
conclusive evidence of wrongdoing ... [but]
"... Wiretapped communications had
been provided to the [Obama] White House." [Emphasis added;
bracketed [ ] text added.]
Remember, this is the same
New York Times, along with other hostile media, that is attacking President
Trump for making what it calls "baseless" and
"unsubstantiated" claims of Obama administration wiretapping of
Trump. It is its own reporting that President Trump was referring to.
The Times hypocritically
suppresses its own front-page headline stories about "Wiretapped Data Used
in Inquiry of Trump Aides" which claimed that these "wiretapped
communications" reports went to the Obama White House (New York Times[7],
Jan. 20, 2017).
White House spokesman Spicer
forcefully made this point to the press, which viciously dodged his points to
continue insisting[8] that
"there's no evidence of this" at all, repeatedly and rudely
interrupting Spicer in an acrimonious confrontation.
Again, the question is: What
did Obama know and when did he know it?
How the "Wiretap
Shell Game" Works
Some reports claim that the
Obama administration sought and/or obtained FISA Court warrants to tap phone
calls and hack emails in Trump Tower.
But FISA warrants are
routinely avoided by a little-known intelligence trick of using U.S.-British
intelligence "reciprocity agreements" to dodge U.S. laws and vice
versa. There are now direct reports[5] of
this Obama-orchestrated British wiretapping of Trump, cited by the White House
to back up President Trump's statements and tweets.
The British are issuing denials[9].
But it is well-known that U.S. intelligence agencies can routinely arrange
for British intelligence officers to use NSA facilities to spy on Americans, so
that the U.S. agencies can claim that "they" (the U.S.) did no
wiretapping or surveillance of Americans. It is a type of "plausible
denial" government lie (see more on this in the appendix to this
article). [Bold Text Editor JRH]
The strange involvement of an
"ex" British MI6 agent, Christopher Steele, in conducting
"opposition research" during a U.S. election has raised no questions
in the left-wing media. It bears consideration, as it could represent in
reality a British "reciprocity" covert operation on behalf of Obama's
CIA, one to fabricate discrediting disinformation about Trump, not a mere intelligence-gathering
or wiretapping operation.
The exact means and exact
agency by which this wiretapping, or much of it, has been done had been left
unclear until now, when the claimed British connection surfaced. These types of
British surveillance wiretaps are known as operations under "UKUSA"
and "BRUSA" intelligence "reciprocity" agreements, which
are the functional equivalent of formal treaties in the spy world.
Such
"reciprocity" operations are designed to evade the laws of each
country, the U.S. and the UK, by having the British spy on Americans who the
Americans want spied on, and having the Americans spy on the British who the
Brits want spied on. [Bold Text
Editor JRH] Each side then exchanges the wiretap and other data the other
side wants, thus without directly incriminating themselves. UKUSA reciprocity
treaty "requests" have the force of direct orders to the other
country's intelligence agencies.
The wiretap data is exchanged
under bogus traditional claims of the "extreme sensitivity" of
"foreign liaison" intelligence, in order to obstruct outside
oversight and thus in reality conceal surveillance of questionable legality.
The UKUSA arrangements go beyond mere data searches and exchanges, by having,
for example, British agents use NSA equipment and facilities on a rental lease
basis to spy on the Americans that U.S. agencies want surveilled (and vice
versa) so that the best equipment in the best position of access is used.
Former Justice Department
Nazi-hunter John Loftus has documented how this British-U.S. "wiretap
shell game" works, and pointed out how it is used to spy on political
candidates in elections, and is covered up from Congress. Loftus reported:
"Over
the years the British back-channel inside the NSA was used for a variety of
political dirty tricks. A large number of American candidates for public office
have been placed under electronic surveillance by British intelligence officers
sitting at their ‘temporary listening post' at [NSA] Fort Meade." [Loftus[10], Secret War Against the Jews[11], 1997,
p. 195]
The media have been saying
that their government sources report that the CIA-NSA-FBI intercept targeting
of Russians shifted to the targeting of the Trump team by September,
2016-possibly as early as June, 2016. There are reports of rejected FISA court
applications in June[12] and July[13] of 2016 which would indicate
that change of focus. (Incidentally, rejections by the FISA court are normally
almost unheard-of.)
The BBC's twist on the third
alleged try at a FISA warrant, allegedly granted on October 15, was that it was
narrowly drawn against only two Russian banks. But the BBC was at pains to
assure us that they had an unnamed source who said that "three of Mr. Trump's
associates were the subject of the inquiry."
"But it's clear this is
about Trump," the source told the BBC[13].
New York Times Lies About
Its Own Reporting
Meanwhile The New York Times[14] is
doubling down on its lies, pretending it never reported that Trump or his aides
had been wiretapped[7],
and with supreme chutzpah claims, "It is not clear why Mr. Trump thought
he was wiretapped or what led him to make the claim." Again, look at the
front-page New York Times headline.
The New York Times has been
forced by confused readers to grudgingly admit[15] that
President Trump's tweets on Obama's wiretapping actually do "echo certain
aspects of The New York Times's reporting from recent weeks." But they try
to offer up sorry excuses to explain away the glaring contradiction in their
own reporting of Obama administration wiretapping of Trump and/or Trump people-and
then their denials of it. The New York Times claims[16] that
what they originally said was that Obama officials merely investigated past
wiretap data in archives of "routine" surveillance already done, but
did not wiretap into future data.
But the New York Times stated
in January[7] that
after past recordings of phone calls of Trump people had been checked, that the
FBI "asked" the NSA to continue to "collect as much information
as possible"-evidently without restraint or limitations-in what were
clearly all future wiretapped calls between Russians and Trump people. It's
known as an intelligence "collection requirement." (New York Times
on January 20[7] and February 14[17];
see also the BBC[13] on
January 12.)
White House spokesman Spicer,
days before the Times' excuse-making, clearly explained[16] that
President Trump's tweets on March 4 were based on open-source news media
reporting of the wiretaps-thus including The New York Times-over the last few
months.
In fact, the news media have
been reporting[18] since
at least September 23, 2016, that U.S. intelligence has been "actively
monitoring" the "talks" (conversations), "wiretapping"
the phone "calls," and intercepting other communications of Trump
aides or Trump himself-communications allegedly made with the Russians.
"Active monitoring"
means wiretapping and surveillance of future phone calls, emails, texts, and
other communications on an ongoing basis.
Not a shred of any New York
Times or other reporting since September, 2016 on the "wiretapping"
of Trump and/or his aides has demonstrated any concern whatsoever for Trump's
civil rights or the sanctity of the election process. No concern was expressed
by the CIA, FBI, NSA or other agencies, or by the Obama White House-or by the
media doing the reporting. In fact, they have been quite excited and eager
about the prospect of illegal snooping on Trump.
As White House spokesman
Spicer pointed out, efforts were made by Obama officials during their last days
in office to lessen the protections of wiretap data in order to spread more widely
any highly-sensitive wiretap data on Trump. The New York Times reported[19] on
March 1 that the Obama administration's lowering of "classification
levels" of NSA data was done to "spread" the Trump wiretaps
around various agencies and even foreign governments (see Obama DNI James
Clapper's orders lowering security protections of raw NSA intercept data,
December. 15, 2016).
The New York Times had originally reported[20] on
January 12 that this massive lowering of NSA wiretap data security was in
contrast to Obama's previous tightening of regulations in 2014, after the
Snowden mass leak, to give "privacy protections to foreigners," like
they were Americans. But not for Trump.
The New York Times
headline story[19] on
March 1 that said Obama officials had "Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of
Russian Election Hacking" also admitted that officials say that alleged
Trump collusion with Russia "has not been confirmed" in any of that
intelligence wiretap data.
So what were they
"rushing" to "preserve?" It is the purported Trump
"conspiracy" with Russia that is utterly unsubstantiated and
baseless. Wiretapping one's political opponents in an election, as Obama or his
minions have done, is a classic Watergate-style threat to the democratic
process.
The Fake "Trump
Dossier"
"As part of the
inquiry," wrote The New York Times, this "wiretapping" was done
by the CIA, FBI and/or NSA to try to "investigate" the alleged
Trump-Russian connections claimed in what is known as the (fake) "Trump
dossier"-within a broader investigation of alleged Russian hacking and
other supposed election interference (NY Times, January 20[7], February 14[17],
2017).
This "Trump
dossier" is the controversial document composed by ex-British agent Christopher
Steele, who had been paid by Hillary Clinton's still unidentified backers to do
election "opposition research" against then-candidate Trump. It is
riddled with absurd self-contradictions and vile allegations against President
Trump.
The "dossier[21]"
cannot even make up its mind, so to speak, as to whether the Russians did spend
"years" passing political dirt on Hillary Clinton to Trump to help
"cultivate" relationship with him-or did not in fact ever pass such
info to Trump (Steele report[21],
June 20, 2016). There are at least eight different origins of the hacked or
leaked DNC emails claimed in the "dossier," including that Trump
hacked them, not the Russians, or that they were all just "created"
or "made up."
The one-party opposition
media have managed to ignore the ridiculous contents of the bogus "Trump
dossier" with its raving lunatic absurdities.
For example, thousands of
Russian retirement "pensioners," according to the
"dossier," did the hacking of the DNC emails and passed them on to
Russian officials, apparently in secret meetings at (we infer) park benches and
shuffleboard affairs in Miami and elsewhere (Steele reports 095 and 111[21] and Newsweek[22], November
4, 2016).
These Russian retirement
pensioners living in the U.S. are "hacking...cyberoperatives"
according to Newsweek, in its pre-election article[22] heavily
based on Steele's "Trump dossier," oblivious to the patent absurdity
of the claim.
You will not hear about that
from the anti-Trump media, which so desperately wants the "Trump
dossier" to be believed, regardless of whether any of it is true.
Appendix:
Former Justice Department
Nazi-hunter, John Loftus, has explained how this US-British reciprocity
scheme-or "wiretap shell game," as he calls it-works. Loftus'
evidence of the top secret trick of US-British, NSA-GCHQ wiretapping of
Americans is based on numerous NSA sources and others from many agencies
stretching back decades, including censorship of this information from his and
another expert's early book manuscripts because of "classification" (Loftus[10], Secret War Against the Jews[11], 1997,
pp. 188-195, 548-9).
According to Loftus this is
how the illegal wiretapping "game" is played:
"...
the NSA headquarters [at Fort Meade, Md.] is also the chief British espionage
base in the United States. The presence of British wiretappers at the keyboards
of American eavesdropping computers is a closely guarded secret...."
"The
NSA is a giant vacuum cleaner. It sucks in every form of electronic
information, from telephone calls to telegrams, across the United States. The
presence of British personnel is essential for the American wiretappers to
claim plausible deniability.
"Here's
how the game is played. The British liaison officer at [NSA Hq] Fort Meade
types the [NSA-supplied] target list of ‘suspects' into the American computer.
The NSA computer sorts through its wiretaps and gives the British officer the
recording of any American citizen he wants.
"Since
it is technically a British target of surveillance, no American search
warrant is necessary. [Loftus' italics] The British officer then simply hands
the results over to his American liaison officer. Of course, the Americans
provide the same service to the British in return...."
"According
to our sources, this duplicitous, reciprocal arrangement disguises the most
massive, and illegal, domestic espionage apparatus in the world....
"Through
this charade, the intelligence services of each country can claim that they are
not targeting their own citizens. The targeting is done by an
authorized foreign agent, the intelligence liaison resident in Britain or the
United States" [Loftus, pp. 189-190; endnotes omitted].
Loftus describes how the
courts tried to shut down some of the domestic wiretapping abuses, and how the
FBI succeeded in evading the judiciary. Then the Bureau got its dream come true
with the FISA law, which only applied to U.S. agencies, not the British:
"In
1978 Congress finally passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FIS) Act
[or FISA], a feeble attempt to stamp out some of the worst excesses of domestic
espionage.... [But FISA] was restricted only to targeting by American agencies,
leaving the British liaison officer with a major loophole. The restrictive
language added to the FIS Act [FISA] left unchanged the arrangement under which
the British wiretapped American suspects and then passed on the information to
the NSA."
"To
this day Congress does not realize that the British liaison officers at the NSA
are still free to use American equipment to spy on American citizens. And, in
fact, they are doing just that. Congress has been kept in the dark
deliberately" [Loftus, pp. 191-2].
Naturally, such dirty-trick
U.S.-British spying schemes have led to political abuses. In a comment of eerie
timeliness today, with the claims of Obama directing the wiretapping of candidate
Trump through British intelligence, Loftus states that:
"Over
the years the British back-channel inside the NSA was used for a variety of
political dirty tricks. A large number of American candidates for public office
have been placed under electronic surveillance by British intelligence officers
sitting at their ‘temporary listening post' at [NSA] Fort Meade." [Loftus,
p. 195]
