    In the world of social media journalism you know you are hitting a home run when you can provoke the main Russian propaganda Embassy London UK...into a direct attack on you.....

    Absolutely no one that I can think of outside the UK social media open source analysis group around @bellingcat and its work on the shot down of MH17 and Sarin gas used in Syria has provoked the UK Russian Embassy as much as this.....

    Someone in Russia is taking notice of the reporting as it is probably getting to close for comfort.....

    APRIL 2017
    Russian Embassy, UK‏
    @RussianEmbassy

    To really special people like @LouiseMensch and @funder who keep telling the world that @POTUS is a Russian puppet.

    WHAT is interesting is that her reporting since APR 2017 has been higly accurate and then confirmed by MSM...

    Since this actually interesting tweet the UK Russia Embassy went silent...

    Pro-Trump groups take no prisoners in rush to help an embattled president
    http://reut.rs/2s2tZKu

    The first sentence raises an interesting question...WHERE does the money come from????

    Flush with cash, political groups outside the White House are aggressively coming to President Donald Trump's aid as he battles low public approval numbers, questions about his election campaign's ties to Russia and a stalled legislative agenda.
    Through television attack ads and online campaigns normally seen only during the tumult of an election, the groups are helping Trump to strike back against his perceived enemies and boost his agenda, adding to the firepower of his Twitter account and the bully pulpit of the White House.
    On Tuesday, one of the groups, America First Policies, launched an attack ad against a senator from Trump's own Republican Party who had balked at a Senate plan to overhaul healthcare that would leave millions more Americans uninsured. The attack angered Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who is struggling to rustle up the votes for the plan.
    It is the first time that a U.S. president has had Super PACs - political action committees that can raise unlimited amounts of money and typically operate during elections - or political non-profits, which do not have to disclose their donors or where they spend their money, actively working to support him after the dust of campaigning has cleared.
    The pro-Trump groups are prohibited from coordinating with the White House, which declined to comment for this story. The New York Times reported that McConnell had complained to White House chief of staff Reince Priebus about America First Policies' ad. The group later pulled the ad.
    I hate using the term "cabal"....meaning an interaction is going on at least on the social media side between the alt right ie white nationalist, white supremacists and the same on the blog sites claiming "news" but carrying largely conspriacy myths...AND the Russian ultra right and Russian bots and trolls with support from the Russian Orthodox Church....feeding on each other with the Russian side feeding propaganda and disinformation straight into the US.....

    It is now appearing that Kaspersky is involved more than many think...two of their Russian employees were arrested for treason...working for the CIA.....rumors were that these two passed CIA information on the Russian hacking during the election...

    THIS is exactly why the Trump WH, SoS and the GOP House is trying to "water down" the Senat bill on controlling Trumps ability to do just this....

    White House could offer to roll back sanctions in first Trump-Putin meeting
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...=share_btn_tw#

    AND Trump plans on doing exactly this.....

    For anyone not fully understanding just why Trump has been tweet bashing Washington Post ever since their article of the Obama response to the Russian hacking and which Trump validated the article by Trump's tweets when he basically bashed Obama for not dong anything to stop the Russians.....

    REMEMBER what the WH spokesperson stated...."if it is a Trump tweet then it is officially from the WH".....

    REMEMBER for over six solid months Trump refused to accept the simple fact that Russia did support his election........

    BUT this might in fact be the reason for the bashing......

    Solid Rumint has it that the Washington Post has a certified copy of the SIGINT recording of Putin giving the order to hack and influence the US election....

    REMEMBER Wapo did in fact allude to it in their article but did not release it at the request of USG IC....SIGINT came from outside the US not from NSA....

    NOW the Washington Post article makes full sense if you read this.....

    REMEMBER as a social media journalist she has been largely accurate in every article she has posted often confirmed by MSM weeks later....concerning Russia and Trump.....

    Article contains 12 names including Trump, his family and his close associates...AND the following sentence.....
    "I have now been granted permission and even encouraged to report everything relating to allied intelligence on Trump Russian suspects".

    EXCLUSIVE Reince ‘Wanted to Run’ – NATO SIGINT on Trump’s Treasonweasels PART 1
    https://patribotics.blog/2017/06/29/...reasonweasels/

    In the wake of the Washington Post’s naturally, and commendably, guarded exclusive on Vladimir Putin’s direct ordering of the Russian attack on Secretary Hillary Clinton, we offer readers a short guide to what sources with links to the intelligence communities of more than one Western nation and sources with links to the Justice Department report that allied nations possess in terms of SIGINT, or Signals Intelligence, on various suspects in the Russian hack of America.
    This guide is intended to be a report on what we know and is not exhaustive. Doubtless there is a lot more out there from allied and enemy nations to the West that we do not know of.
    Donald Trump:
    Countless intelligence agencies, mostly hostile, hacked Trump’s insecure Android phone. The British, Ukranians and Germans all have recordings of Carter Page in Moscow offering treason for hacking, and recordings of Page playing the tape of Donald Trump for his Moscow paymasters, wherein Trump promises unspecificed (to us) shifts of policy in exchange for hacking help.
    As I reported exclusively at Patribotics, this tape was discussed with Sergei Kislyak by Trump, Manafort, Page and Epshteyn. As I further reported, Sergei Kislyak’s phone was ‘hot miked’ through an SS7 exploit by a Five Eyes nation for a portion of last year. By request, I am withholding the nation and the amount of time that Kislyak’s phone was recording all those with whom he came in contact*. #I will report on exactly how each nation holds this intelligence when I come to Carter Page.
    The United Kingdom in particular has a treasure trove of intelligence on Donald Trump. Before Nigel Farage – acting as a courier, sources say – went in to see Julian Assange, Donald Trump called his phone (the previous night). British intelligence taped that conversation, sources say, as Farage was under surveillance, and have provided the resulting fresh evidence of treason to the USIC.
    Julian Assange’s conversations about Trump and with his couriers are all on tape. British intelligence and the NSA have been inside the Ecuadorean Embassy for some time. There is disbelief, sources report, in many conversations between the two closest intelligence partners in the world, America and Britain, at how stupid the Russians and Ecuadoreans have been to believe Julian Assange’s pitiable assertions that his communications were ever secure.
    Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin, for the avoidance of doubt, was recorded by both British intelligence and private allied intelligence firms of more than one nation, directly ordering an attack on the United States election and on Hillary Clinton. This recording was given to the Washington Post, and they held it back out of respect for US intelligence, for which I applaud them.
    Donald Trump Jr
    Donald Trump Jr was directly taped by the French before the election, colluding treacherously with the Russians. As with all NATO allies who are not part of the Five Eyes agreement, there is no legal reason why they cannot directly tape Americans abroad. The FBI would need permission with a FISA warrant to listen to any such intelligence on U.S. persons.

    This report will be updated with a Part II tomorrow.

    Richard Burt, an author of Trump's first foreign policy speech: Ukraine needs neutrality, not Minsk. It could be model for Georgia, Moldova.

    Seems Burt forgot to ask the Ukrainians, Moldavians and Georgians is that is what THEY want.....

    Minsk gives back to Ukraine what Russian took through invasion ...nothing more nothing less...AND this from a man writing a FP speech.....notice he forgot to mention what was taken by Russian from both Moldavia and Georgia.....

    Some of the Fake News Media likes to say that I am not totally engaged in healthcare. Wrong, I know the subject well & want victory for U.S.

    NOW THIS.....Trump tweet

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump

    Democrats purposely misstated Medicaid under new Senate bill - actually goes up.

    NOTE.....not sure who gave Trump this chart BUT it does not match the charts used by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) who clearly and concisely stated that in a 10 year period Medicaid would be cut a total of 773B USDs...

    There have been reports from inside the WH that various fractions fighting for Trump's attention OFTEN give him misleading information such as the chart he is referring to in this tweet....claiming Medicaid raises IN 2016 to reach 458B USDs......

    Trump as this great businessman shows a chart that reflects the Obama input in raising Medicaid BUT does not show you the charts from CBO indicating the massive cuts starting almost immediately under Trumpcare.....

    One heck of a tweet lie....AND yet Trump claims to know all about healthcare and his Trumpcare plan.....

    Trump is holding a fundraiser for his reelection campaign tonight. At his own hotel. 40 months ahead of the election.
    Cost: $35K/person


    REMEMBER in a Trump TV interview in 2008 he stated.."if I ran I could actually make money as a President".....WELL his hotels certainly are and thus he earns on his own re-election campaign that others have not even started yet.

    REMEMBER the Government Office of Ethnics has formally complained to Trump that he is still tied to the earnings of his companies and Trump is under three federal court cases for violating the Emoluments Article for presidential corruption for doing exactly this type of business dealings.....

    So Trump apparently won't even believe NSA Director Mike Rogers re. Russia interfering in our elections.
    http://cnn.it/2snkQM5

    NOW MAYBE this was the exact reason for the Washington Post article and the audio tape evidence on Putin being made public.....

    Trump's own advisers are struggling to convince him that Russia remains a threat
    http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/28/po...eat/index.html

    WHY is that?......as this great and "smart man" that Trump claims to be..he should see and understand clearly what he is being shown about Russian activities....BUT he does not...

    Simple question....WHY not???

    Answer is so easy as he is "in bed with the Russian OC"....he always has been since 1987....THUS he cannot admit that Russians are involved in anything....as then the resulting investigation would come back at him....

    BUT is already is coming back to haunt him.....

    Trump defense of things he did falls into the pattern: It didn't happen but even if it did it's not a big deal.

    In law, we call this the "I never borrowed your lawnmower, it was broken when I got it, and I returned it in perfect condition" defense
