    Associates of RU's Alfa Bank are trying to sue @BuzzFeedNews for publishing Trump-RU Steele dossier.
    Buzzfeed's response:

    BUT WAIT...they are just following the Trump business model of his over 4000 court suits...in order to force others to either stay silent or pay huge court costs....with the same effect....

    BTW...the two mail servers one in Trump Tower and one in Alfa Bank Moscow are in fact under FBI investigation...and that has been confirmed....

    This is what Russian information warfare is all about....

    Demoralisation process can be easily reverted - first of all by restricting import of Russian Propaganda - Bezmenov.

    Demoralization, Destabilization, Insurgency, Normalization
    https://mcalvanyintelligenceadvisor....-normalization

    This amazing interview was done back in 1985 with a former KGB agent who was trained in subversion techniques. He explains the 4 basic steps to socially engineering entire generations into thinking and behaving the way those in power want them to. It’s shocking because our nation has been transformed in the exact same way, and followed the exact same steps.
    Interviewer, G. Edward Griffin: Our conversation is with Mr. Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov. Mr. Bezmenov was born in 1939 in a suburb of Moscow. He was the son of a high ranking Soviet Army officer. He was educated in the elite schools inside the Soviet Union and became an expert in Indian culture and Indian languages. He had an outstanding career with Novesti, which was the, and still is, I should say, the Press arm or the press agency of the Soviet Union. It turns out that this is a front for the KGB. He escaped to the West in 1970 after becoming totally disgusted with the Soviet System. And he did this at great risk to his life. He is certainly one of the world’s experts on the subject of Soviet propaganda and disinformation and active measures.
    When the Soviets use the phrase ideological subversion, what do they mean by it?
    Yuri Bezmenov: Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate, overt and open. You can see it with your own eyes. All you have to do -- all American mass media has to do -- is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes and they can see it. There is no mystery. There is nothing to do with espionage.
    I know that espionage -- intelligence gathering -- looks more romantic. It sells more deodorants through their advertising, probably. That’s why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type, in free words.
    But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion and the opinion of many defectors of my caliber only about fifteen percent of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other eighty-five percent is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, or active measures, (~Activitia perionachia, in the language of the KGB), or psychological warfare. What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. It’s a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being demoralization.
    It takes from fifteen to twenty years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words Marxist-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counter-balanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism.

    Remember the Trump WH keeps on saying the US should be working with Russia on fighting terrorism in Syria.....meaning IS, AQ and HTS....

    Russian "war on terror in Syria"...remember that was the reason they told the UNGA they were going into Syria for.....


    BUT WAIT...Putin did define a "Syrian terrorist" at the UNGA as someone carrying an AK47 rifle and fighting against Assad....he never did really mention he was basically supporting Assad and not bombing IS, AQ and or HTS....

    Trumps altered state of reality...this maybe what he thinks he achieved by bashing them in front of the NATO Hdqs BUT that is not what the MSM of the various countries are carrying as news from NATO or G7.......

    Not exactly sure in the Trump WH is telling him this....?????

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump
    Many NATO countries have agreed to step up payments considerably, as they should. Money is beginning to pour in- NATO will be much stronger.

    Trump still fantasizing NATO countries pay us. Ignorant & unteachable, delusional or just lying?

    S.A. web firm might be included in probe of the Trump-Russia ties
    By Bill Lambrecht, Washington Bureau
    May 26, 2017

    WASHINGTON — The FBI’s wide-ranging criminal investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election may include scrutiny of the Trump campaign’s San Antonio-based digital operation overseen by senior White House adviser Jared Kushner.
    San Antonio-based digital operation overseen by senior White House adviser Jared Kushner.

    Let's be clear: Kushner lied on his first SF86 security clearance form. Then he LIED AGAIN on his revised form. These are 2 separate Federal crimes.

    A Reuters review found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

    "The president wants you to know the meetings are going unbelievably well" Cohn tells reporters.

    So why no @realDonaldTrump news conference?

    Valid question is it not??

    No trip ending news conference by Pres Trump. Two senior WH officials briefing reporters instead. Off-camera.

    In remarks just now in Sicily, Merkel showed her frustration with Trump not committing to Paris climate deal

    He probably needs to attend a proTrump rally to in order to bash the agreement for his voter base....

    For those excusing Kushner for naivet: Gen. Flynn was reportedly with him during those meetings.

    They may be stupid but they aren't naive
    .

    Former intelligence officials say the reported Kushner-Russia plan is unlike anything they've ever seen
    http://read.bi/2r923ar

    But what Kushner appears to have done is "substantially different, in two ways," he said.

    "First, he is not seeking a back-channel for a low-level staff exchange," Olson said. "He wants high-level direct-contact communication. This is extremely dangerous because it results in verbal (and therefore undocumented and unwitnessed) agreements, which are binding on governments. Free governments do not work this way. They can't. If they do, they are no longer free."

    He continued:

    "Second, he asked to use a foreign government's commutation asset. This is way beyond a private server. This is doing US government diplomatic business over a foreign government's communication system. It's not an off-the-record conversation. It's a conversation recorded by the opposing party. This shows a staggering lack of understanding of the US and its place in the world. Actually, it shows a staggering lack of common sense. When he negotiates a business deal does he use the other guy's notes?"
    Appears that Trump WH literally trusted the Russian government more than it did the US government which many in the WH call the "Deep State"...

    McMaster: "In Brussels the president confirmed America’s unbreakable commitment to our allies and article 5"

    In three months and now two completely false statements to cover for the Presidents own mistakes....McMaster has basically ruined a 30 year career...AND his creditability..

    Trump absolutely did not explicitly state this....he used the words "friend will stand together"...but does this mean AFTER they have paid the US to fight for them which is really what Trump was saying and that was explicit.....

    The Trump G7 hits just keep on coming.....Trump does not get the simple fact that European leaders have years of experience in negotiations and how to get the "best deal"...that is what happens inside the EU just to get 28 countries all onboard with a decision.....

    Outlaw 09,

    I am puzzled at your choice of author for this commentary, as his very short byline states:
    Leonid Bershidsky is a Bloomberg View columnist. He was the founding editor of the Russian business daily Vedomosti and founded the opinion website Slon.ru.
    Even a cursory look at his previous articles suggests he has his biases and they are not anti-Russian.

    made news several months ago as well...
    THIS is interesting in that this Ukrainian oligarch which is proPutin allied took out a FULL page ad in multiple MSM newspapers claiming what was being written about him and his connections to Manafort and Trump were fake news.

    THIS oligarch was also behind the secret Ukrainian peace deal that Trumps own personal lawyer was involved in and was also tying in Carter Page.

    Indicates again the social media reporting on this individual Ukrainian oligarch was in fact correct...he is attempting to gain legal protection as he is under investigation for money laundering thus potential RICO charges that would strip him of all his assets globally...
    This particular oligarch is very close to Putin and travels into the US on a diplomatic passport as he was turned down for a Green Card....so why would he want to turn on Putin and lose his diplomatic passport....beside he and Manafort have had a falling out over money deals the past years...so was he sending a message to Manafort.....

    Corey Lewandowski could join the White House “as early as next week” in Trump war room to combat Russia scandal.
    https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2017...-warroom.html#

    Now explain why Jared is running the so-called White House "war room" to respond to the Russia scandal that he’s squarely in the middle of.
