Russian TV's Kiselev likens the US intelligence report on alleged Russian hacking to "a mouse excreting something, it's pathetic"
Carter Page Dec '16 Moscow visit & Zvezda TV breaking news on US lifting Russian sanctions is play-book confirmation of Caribbean Crisis.
Russian TV's Kiselev likens the US intelligence report on alleged Russian hacking to "a mouse excreting something, it's pathetic"
Kiselev on Obama's presidency: "a disgrace...destructive...bloody... catastrophic". Kiselev on Trump: "plain-talking...a man of his word".
On Russian TV Kiselev's take is mirror image of Western media: portrays Obama admin as immoral/corrupt, Trump as upstanding/victim of "lies"
Tonight Russian state TV anchor Dmitry Kiselev quoted a UK newspaper article. But left a bit out.

Kremlin spokesman about #Trump meeting with #Putin:
"The sooner, the better."
Chris Wallace asks Pence if he can deny any contact between Trump associates & Russian operatives re: hacking of Dems. Pence deflects twice.
Chris Wallace gets a direct answer from @mike_pence re: communication b/t Trump campaign/Russians.
PENCE: "Of course not."

Interesting Trump project....on the social media open source analysis side...
Big new project: TrumpWorld, a vast dataset of people & firms around Trump. Help us build it out!
https://www.buzzfeed.com/johntemplon...ap-trumpworld#
BuzzFeed News spent two months mapping Trump's personal and business connections — and found more than 1,500 in all and adding more each day...
WHAT would be extremely interesting would be to feed all of this data into a network analysis tool called Palantir........currently in heavy use as a threat finance tool for chasing jihadi money globally.....
Identify novel patterns of fraud by intuitively analyzing data at massive scale
Palantir Anti-Fraud allows human experts to look across their entire universe of data to find novel patterns of suspicious activity. Investigators at commercial enterprises have the contextual knowledge to know where to look for unique strains of fraud, such as money laundering, check kiting, or complex, synthetic identity fraud across lines of business. Tax authorities have the experience and domain expertise to develop hypotheses about new forms of tax fraud, illegal transfer pricing, and other forms of tax evasion. Palantir Anti-Fraud’s extensible analytical applications enable these domain experts to interact with the data in ways explicitly designed for fighting fraud. With transactions, weblogs, network traffic, and other dense, low-signal, disparate data from across the enterprise fused into a coherent object model, analysts can ask questions in the language of entities, events, and relationships, not data primitives.
Might in fact surprise Trump and his transition team what the Russian connections are....

Kellyanne Conway: Details of Russia investigation should be kept secret ‘to protect the public’
http://ow.ly/5REr3081dSh
Because maybe the truth might be to unsettling to realize an elected US President might in fact be a traitor under US Criminal Code
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
BUT WAIT...Conway is totally wrong...normally a classified document is not intended to "protect the public"...BUT to protect sources and methods...
Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway on Sunday expressed disappointment that intelligence officials and lawmakers are leaking information on the Russian hacking of the election to help the president-elect and insisted it should be kept secret to “protect the public.”
Appearing on Fox & Friends, Conway was asked by co-host Clayton Morris about Trump’s planned meeting with embattled FBI Director James Comey, only to have Conway lash out at leaks coming from U.S. intelligence agencies.
“I’m always disappointed how public and sometimes political some of these figures can seem to be,” she responded. “I’m very concerned, very concerned. You realize it is the Trump team, only us at this time, that is not divulging what occurred in a classified briefing.”
“Ladies and gentlemen,” she continued with her voice rising. “It’s called a classified briefing for a reason. You had the vice president of the United States making a comment about it the other day. You have intelligence officials confirming or denying. This classified information, it’s top secret. Why is it top secret? It’s not top secret to keep it from the public, but to protect the public.”

CIA director: "What I do find outrageous is [president-elect] equating intelligence community w/ Nazi Germany."
NOT exactly sure WHY Trump does not understand the Chinese language......
They are getting a tad more direct with him YET he cruises along as if he does not get the not so subtle warnings....
Beijing will 'take off the gloves', if Trump continues on Taiwan- China Daily
http://reut.rs/2jmZApa
ANOTHER perfect example of exactly WHY Trump is now dangerous for both NATO and the US.....
This depicts just how poorly informed he is and or the poor quality of advice he is getting....
NATO not fighting terror.....ASK how many NATO soldiers and civilians have been killed and wounded helping the US in both Iraq and AFG....AND how many NATO aircraft are flying over Iraq and Syria....
OR which NATO countries are providing SOF troops into Iraq...Syria...and AFG....
Trump says NATO is obsolete but still 'very important to me'
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said NATO was obsolete because it had not defended against terror attacks, but that the military alliance was still very important to him, The Times of London reported.
“I took such heat, when I said NATO was obsolete," Trump told the newspaper in an interview. "It’s obsolete because it wasn’t taking care of terror. I took a lot of heat for two days. And then they started saying Trump is right."
Trump added that many NATO members were not paying their fair share for U.S. protection.
“A lot of these countries aren’t paying what they’re supposed to be paying, which I think is very unfair to the United States," Trump said. "With that being said, NATO is very important to me. There’s five countries that are paying what they’re supposed to. Five. It’s not much."

BBC News - Donald Trump says Merkel made 'catastrophic mistake' on migrants
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38632485#
WHY does Trump think he can determine what is right and or wrong with Merkel and Germany WHEN he himself stands under strong suspicion of being compromised by Russia...
NOTE...there are a number of comments here that in fact prove what the US EU Ambassador recently stated when he assumed Trump wants to destroy EU......
1. Smart decision for UK...does not kick in until 2020 if UK pulls the article 50 trigger and right now UK politics around Brexit is in chaos to say the least
2. US/UK trade deals...APPEARS both Trump and UK does not realize that NO EU member can do separate trade deals without EU approval..UK is the earliest able to do this is 2021-2022....before leads to massive fines placed on UK by EU which UK must pay
3. WHY does Trump feel that what Merkel does can be critiqued BUT what he says and tweets he gets anagry when one disagrees with him
4. Have already commented on NATO is obsolete because it does not fight terror?????
5..He creates a number of lies with his Tweets and YET does not seem to realize this....

Interesting that Trump wants to trade nuclear weapons reductions for lifting of sanctions....SO Putin will state in the public he will reduce....THEN Trump will automatically lift sanctions WITHOUT a clear and verifiable reduction treaty in place....
WHY will he do that...because he wants the immediate gratification of success WITHOUT the hard diplomatic treaty work...AND because he has promised via his advisor in their Russian contacts he will lift all sanctions....
Trump Slams NATO, Floats Russia Nuke Deal in European Interview
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...man-interview#
TRUMP threatens German auto manufacturers...with 35% tariffs on their cars exported into the US.....
THIS is another perfect example of what will not work....the last time I checked German manufacturers adhere to WTO and EU export regulations and tariffs AND are already producing cars in the US...
TRUMP with this move might in fact trigger a massive trade war with EU THAT his agricultural voters might not appreciate.....A large amount of US trade with EU is in fact agricultural in nature and EU can and would slap a 35% equally tariff on US exports...THUS hurting again WU workers...AND then try to sell US beef ...chicken and grain somehow else in competition with Ukraine and EU producers who produce at a far lower cost range than the US....
THEN Germany would march to WTO and file a court case which they will win automatically as the 355 violated even WTO regs...AND with heavy fines on the US....
SO I am not so sure Trump fully and completely understands world trade and trade regualtions/agreements.....
Worrying: sanctions on #Russia for invading #Ukraine wd be lifted w/o Ru withdrawal, in return for nuclear arms deal that US doesn't need?
MORE prove what the current CIA director stated yesterday...Trump does not fully understand Russian actions and capabilities...Georgia.....Moldaiva....Crimea...ea stern Ukraine....Syria....

Report: CIA set up task-force in 2016 to investigate possible Russian funding of Trump's campaign
http://read.bi/2iTFlvI
BUT WAIT...Trump states no contact with anyone and anything in Russia and no money from Russia...REALLY......???
Let us see just what this Trump knows abut international trade these days...not much actually and why should he..he dealth largely with licensing name deals and real estate and money laundering along the way....
"there are more German cars on US roads than US cars in Germany..that has to end....."
BUT WAIT if we use the Trump motto of producing German cars in the US...THEN EU could equally demand US produce cars inside EU or face a 35% tariff.....
All is fair in love and trade these days......
Secondly...Trump is no thinking through that there are already US auto companies in Europe....Ford....Fiat/C....GM.....producing cars for Europe and contributing to the overall profit margins of those US companies....the problem for them is how to bring back their profits with virtually no US taxes....OH forgot Trump has a plan for that....and it will cost the US taxpayer as the last time under Obama that US companies were allowed to bring back their overseas profits estimated in the 1.5T USD range...it all went towards stock buybacks and shareholder value in the form of dividends of Class A shares....
RIGHT now one of the main problems with US car sales in Europe is the US pricing of those export vehicles...you can get a quality VW/MB/BMW at a lower price than the equal US model....WHY is that..US manufacturers want to make a killing on each vehicle as they cannot mass export a particular model and must potentially build a factory in EU in order to do that.
BTW...Trump seems to forget that US produced cars and exported to EU do not reach EU safely standards and must be altered at the import harbor before entering legally into EU...adding more to the vehicle price.....same requirements for Japanese and or Korean produced vehicles BTW...
AND oh by the way...all those German cars on US roads were largely produced inside the US..why the same problem US cars coming into Germany...Germans have coming into the US adding additional cost to a vehicle....example....US headlight standards have not changed for over 75 years and EU light technologies are now world class and yet cannot be sent into the US ....or let's look at bumper safety differences between EU/US....
BUT WAIT...Trump knows this already as he is "smart"....
SO is Trump going to tell US auto companies to export cheaper????
US auto companies are in the profit business not loss business....
WHAT Trump in his "down on EU comments in the interview" also forgets in international trade is the simple fact that the EU market is 800Mstrong vs the US market of 300M...add in the association and say CETA then the EU trading zone has over 1.2B consumers AND Trump wants to do a trade war with who again...1.2B consumers?????
Trump is also against the TTP trade deal...but by not holding to it...Trump literally allows china to dominate the Asian markets by setting product standards...financial standard s and trades services.....AND the US is on the outside looking in...
AND that makes sense in Trump's calculations of expanding US jobs and exports.....???

Thank you to Bob Woodward who said, "That is a garbage document...it never should have been presented...Trump's right to be upset (angry)...
BUT WAIT....that is not what many European intel types are now saying and that is the reason the CIA has setup a project to check Russian money flows to Trump....

.@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!
COMMENT:...Trump and his advisors have never trusted US MSM journalism and is trying hard to discredit US MSM....
I had posted a research project on statements taken from Trump rallies..Trumps own comments and Trump tweets as to where he gets his information and it is definitely not US MSM...mainly Brietbart.com...Infowars...and above all FOX...
You would think the of all people Woodward with "deep throat" would be saying something else in the face of comments coming out of Europe about the article by Steele....
But Woodward sold out long ago to the Republican Party...
IF Woodward cannot see the Trump similarities to Nixon then Woodward has a major problem....
