FANTASTIC JOHN B WELLS:

DAILY DOSE OF STRAIGHT TALK

RE the full court press of destructiveness on the national stage--political & otherwise.

Quotes an excellent summary

Cites . . . . JOHN W WHITEHEAD HAS WRITTEN AN AMAZING ARTICLE . . . HE CRITICIZES EVERYONE . . .

. . . Shadow Government . . . DEMI-COMMIE CRATS . . .

OCRAZIO CORTEX is supposed to be worth several millions dollars already. Not bad for a worthless Puerto-Rican bartender from the Bronx.

His article: D is for a DICTATORSHIP DISGUISED as a democracy . . .

He really makes some extraordinary points . . .


--BEGINS with a quote from Professor Neil Postman:

from his work:

AMUSING OURSELVES TO DEATH: DISCOURSE IN THE AGE OF SHOW BUSINESS

{EMPHASES ADDED}

"WHEN A POPULATION BECOMES DISTRACTED BY TRIVIA;
WHEN CULTURE & CULTURAL LIFE IS
REDEFINED AS A PERPETUAL ROUND OF ENTERTAINMENT;
WHEN SERIOUS PUBLIC CONVERSATION BECOMES A FORM OF BABY TALK;
WHEN, IN SHORT, WHEN A PEOPLE BECOME AN AUDIENCE & THEIR PUBLIC BUSINESS A VAUDVILLE ACT,
THEN A NATION FINDS ITSELF AT RISK OF CULTURE DEATH--IS A CLEAR POSSIBILITY."

John Whitehead writes:

"What characterizes American government today is not so much dysfunctional politics as it is ruthlessly contrived government carried out behind the entertaining, distracting & disingenuous curtain of political theater. And what political theater it is--diabolically Shakespearean at times--full of sound & fury--yet in the end signifying nothing. Played out on the national stage and eagerly broadcast to a captive audience by media sponsors, this farcical exercise in political theater, can at times seem riveting, life-changing & suspenseful--even to those who know better . . . . "

 
{Well worth a listen, imho.}

THANKS TONS for your kind well-wishes.

FOR THOSE ALLERGIC TO TMI, PLEASE SCROLL ON BY. LOL:

Thankfully, the urethral camera insertion video largely revealed healthiness. It did show from within bladder etc. that my prostate is enlarged vs small as the MD had deduced from the typical finger exam.

And the CAT scan indicated a very small 'calcified cyst' or some such on the outside of one of my kidney's.

They are asking me back at the end of August to do a dye CAT scan to check on that calcified cyst.

Guess that's about all. I have mixed feelings about the dye contrast CAT scan. I understand some of the dye stuff has caused really ugly things. So I want to investigate that a bit more etc. before just going along with it. I understand many do fine and it may depend on the specific dye used.

Thanks HUGELY for your caring

Would sure appreciate more viewing & at least more comment on this important post, video and thread here:

http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,360719.0.html

RE Linda Moulton Howe's recent disclosure of the real entities behind the "alien" critter stuff (i.e. that they are essentially, fallen angels perpetuating the great END TIMES Deception Christ spoke of). She has more or less been forced to accept this input because of the high level nature of the sources and the manner in which they communicated. There have been other inputs to her of such facts but she has always been (imho), more than reluctant to accept this perspective as the overriding valid one.

The last msg I'm aware of from her sources via a different channel has been that it is too dangerous for all of them for them to communicate further with Linda.

One of the things they emphasized to her was that the ONLY force, power, option to succeed against such critters is the Person & Power of Jesus The Christ. I think this has rattled the 75 year old Linda no small amount.

If you'd prefer a PM comment, that's fine.

Would just like a sampling of folk's responses and to move the dialogue along some.

THIS DOES relate to Q-anon . . . who has responded to the issue cryptically once or twice.

It CERTAINLY relates to the welfare of individuals and to the stability & welfare of our Republic.

I don't know how to emphasize the importance more or more convincingly. I say that after study of the topic since 1962.

Cheers. Blessings,

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/05/unequivocally-and-absolutely-without-a-doubt-obama-knew-about-spying-and-was-in-on-it/

UNEQUIVOCALLY AND ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT OBAMA KNEW ABOUT SPYING AND WAS IN ON IT.

We now know without a doubt the former President Barack Obama was in on the Deep State’s actions to spy on President Trump and entrap his team members.  We don’t know how much spying and attempts of entrapment went on, but we do know Obama was aware of it all.

Democrats and Deep State dirty cops have claimed for months that there was no spying on the Trump campaign.  Now we know without a doubt that there was not only spying, but the dirty cops in the Deep State attempted to entrap Trump team members through this spying.  We also know without a doubt that Obama was in on it.

We know Obama was in on it based on numerous pieces of information.
 

For starters we know that Obama spied on numerous people for years while he was President.  Obama took the US Intelligence community and corrupted it.  He used the US intelligence apparatus to spy on anyone and everyone and especially his enemies.  We put a list of the many individuals and entities Obama spied on that we know of here.

We also know that Hillary’s long lost emails were found in the White House.  This was reported by Judicial Watch in April 2019 –

    Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch announced that Bill Priestap, former Assistant Director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division admitted, in writing and under oath, that the FBI found Hillary Clinton’s emails in the Obama White House — specifically the Executive Office of the President!

    The FBI also admitted that almost 49,000 Hillary Clinton emails were reviewed as a result of a search warrant for emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.

We know that Susan Rice, Obama’s former National Security Advisor, left a email on the last day that she and Obama were in office that confirms Obama was in on it.  Senators Grassley and Graham sent a letter to Rice asking about this email –

    Ambassador Rice appears to have used this email to document a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting between President Obama, former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates regarding Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election.  In particular, Ambassador Rice wrote:

    “President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book’.  The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective.  He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.” 

Rice and Obama must have felt guilty about their crimes because they sent this email in an attempt to cover up their illegal actions.  Unfortunately, nobody is buying it.
We also know that Obama, in essence, told incoming President-elect Trump in the Oval office that he was involved in the Deep State coup.  Obama did this inadvertently by advising Trump not to hire General Michael Flynn.

    President Obama warned Donald Trump against hiring Michael Flynn as national security adviser in the days after the 2016 election, according to three former Obama administration officials.

    The warning came during an Oval Office meeting between Obama and Trump after the Republican’s victory. Flynn had been fired by the Obama administration as the head of the military’s intelligence branch.

This was plastered all over the media in May 2017 a few days before the Mueller Special Investigation was put into place by Rod Rosenstein.  Obama had to know about the coup in order to make this recommendation to Trump months earlier but the media only thought about using this to discredit both Trump and Flynn.  Now its coming back to haunt Obama.

In March 2019 Deep State coup participant James Clapper said to CNN’s Anderson Cooper –

    One point I’d like to make, Anderson, that I don’t think has come up very much before, and I’m alluding now to the President’s [Trump’s] criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn’t do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren’t for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller’s investigation.

    President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. I think it’s an important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama.

U.S. revokes citizenship of Portland mosque’s imam
Updated May 6, 2019; Posted May 6, 2019

By Maxine Bernstein | The Oregonian/OregonLive

The U.S. government has revoked the U.S. citizenship of the former imam of Portland’s largest mosque after he arrived in Somaliland last week.

Mohamed Sheikh Abdirahman Kariye is on the government’s no-fly list, but the government arranged for him to travel back to his homeland after reaching a settlement with Kariye in January.

Under the deal, Kariye agreed not to challenge an order revoking his citizenship and acknowledged having provided false information to immigration officials in July 1997 when he had applied for U.S. naturalization.

NEON REVOLT

Tracking the #MaltesePhantom and #Spygate’s Crown Connections – #QAnon #GreatAwakening #NEONREVOLT

May 6, 2019 by Neon Revolt   

https://www.neonrevolt.com/2019/05/06/tracking-the-maltesephantom-and-spygates-crown-connections-qanon-greatawakening-neonrevolt/

One of the big “problems” we have in the QAnon community is a lack of specificity when talking about certain groups or global affairs – and it’s understandable why, especially in light of my last article breaking down Ukrainian involvement in the #Spygate scandal. Things just get so convoluted, it’s often just easier to refer to everything under one, big, collective label. But we need to be aware that we can lose precision when we do that – and precision can be very important in some instances.

One such group we haven’t really been specific enough with is, frankly, #TheCabal itself.

It’s very easy to simply say “The Cabal diddit” when talking in generalized terms, but in truth, I think it would be more beneficial to us all if we got really specific whenever we are able, especially when dealing with the subject of the Cabal itself.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying the term itself is bad or something to be avoided. I’m just saying that as a general rule of thumb, specificity is better, when we’re able to get specific.

And today, I’m hoping to get real specific when dealing with one particular wing of the Cabal.

So I want to open this article with a question.

Have you seen these tweets, yet?

. . .

Unfortunately, this is a mistake on our part, because PapaD dropped one of the biggest names he could have ever mentioned with this one little tweet.

I’ll explain in a bit, but first…

Quick timeline refresher:

The Trump Tower meeting took place on June 9th, 2016.

That would place this Dinner between the Ohrs and Saunders on June 5th, 2016.

PapaD met with Joseph Mifsud for the first time on March 14th, 2016, in a London Hotel.

(Sidenote: You’ll find a fantastic post about the hotel they met at, the Andaz hotel, and the hidden Masonic temple built within, in the Notable Gab Posts linked after the article. Well worth the read. Click here to jump to it right now).

The woman who attended the dinner with the Ohrs is one Alison Saunders, former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), over in the UK.

. . .

So, her role is sort of similar to that of the Attorney General’s, here in the US.

There’s also the question of if she was really taking order from the Queen’s Privy Council, which is a sort of advisory body made up of mostly, though not exclusively, British Politicians and Nobility. Appointments in the Privy Council are for the lifetime of whichever Monarch they’re serving under.

Because four days before the Trump Tower meeting… she was slated to have dinner with the Ohrs, here in the US, as this e-mail obtained by Judicial Watch shows below:

BRIAN CATES THREAD UNROLL

Comey’s being forced to admit all the spying, the Spygate plotters were forced to leak details about Azra Turk, the fact that the St. Dept got official briefings from Steele himself on his dossier, you know why this is ALL happening right now?

. . .

I strongly suspect the DRAFT REPORT from Horowitz on SpyGate was handed out about a week ago and they now realize in a panic that he found stuff they thought they’d managed to hide from him.

🚨
GAME CHANGER
🚨


Fmr. FBI Director Comey confesses to spying on Trump. Comey was briefed regularly on the spying & ordered his team of spies to “do what you need to do.”

Two questions:
1. When did Obama know?
2. When does Comey’s prison sentence start?

END SUBQUOTE
. . .

Just TWO WEEKS AGO Comey was laughing off any claims of spying on the Trump campaign. Now watch him here.
Again a lot of people don’t kno how anything works.

A draft of the section of the report where they are investigated is *always* given to the people being investigated so they &their legal teams can make a rebuttal before the final report is made public.


This is exactly how it was done with McCabe, if you'll recall.

He and his lawyers were given a draft copy of Horowitz's report about 2 weeks before the final report was issued.

That was so McCabe & his legal team could provide the IG's office with a rebuttal of the report.
So my thinking is just over a week ago Horowitz's office delivered the first rough draft sections to Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Baker, etc., and they read it and went HOLY SHIT HE KNOWS ABOUT THAT?! and that led them to RUSH to contact their DNC Media allies to start leaking.
But remember what I told you back in January: it's too late.

It's far FAR too late.

These idiots were lulled into complacency thinking they were succesfully HIDING stuff that was being shown to grand juries months ago. Back when Jeff Sessions was AG.

BRIAN CATES:

Commentary

A lot has happened since my last column. Transcripts from the congressional testimonies of three key Spygate participants—Bruce Ohr, Lisa Page, and James Baker—have been made public: two of which were revealed right here on the pages of The Epoch Times. In addition, there’s been several other fascinating developments.

Let’s briefly survey the current state of affairs.

Mueller Coming Up Empty

Special counsel Robert Mueller will be wrapping up his investigation into the 2016 election in the next couple of months, having found no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. And with Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz staring over his shoulder with Page’s and Peter Strzok’s heads hypothetically mounted on the wall behind him, Mueller knows he’s in no position to try to fake anything.

It’s suddenly being reported at places such as ABC News that the usual anonymous sources who’ve spent almost two years furiously leaking about how Mueller has President Donald Trump and his Russian spies exactly where he wants them are suddenly changing their tune and telling their media contacts that perhaps it would be best to begin managing expectations and preparing their audience for something “anti-climactic.”
Desperate Mainstream Media Steps Up Efforts to Save Narrative

That’s why Fusion GPS and other Spygate plotters are desperately seeding the DNC Media Complex including The New York Times, The Daily Beast, and other outlets with absurd stories that don’t stand up to any real scrutiny.

. . .

END SUBQUOTE

. . .

The plotters are desperately running around leaking to the media and giving interviews where they try to set the narrative themselves, but it won't work.



Remember, one side in this uses anonymous leaks to DNC Media allies.

Trump & his team AREN'T GOING TO BE USING ANONYMOUS LEAKS.

You are going to see US attorneys filing indictments based on EVIDENCE.

Adam Schiff and the Democrats’ Desperate ‘Phantom of the Opera’ Gambit

Commentary

What a difference a month makes.

When acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker surprised the media at a press conference on Jan. 28 by stating that the Mueller special counsel investigation was almost completed and he looked forward to receiving Robert Mueller’s final report, the consensus that immediately formed was that Whitaker had no idea what he was talking about.

What he was calmly saying was so counter to the narratives both the Democrats and the mainstream media had been pushing for over two years, that the reaction of many to his words was denial followed by outright hostility.


https://youtu.be/DxkRA0kEHsE

There had been signs surfacing for weeks that the special counsel probe was drawing to a close, such as when the anonymous sources both inside and surrounding the special counsel’s office—who had been feeding various DNC Media outlets juicy leaks about supposedly soon-to-be-revealed key evidence that would lead directly to indictments for people such as Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner, and perhaps even President Donald Trump himself—abruptly changed their tune. All of a sudden, these very same sources began telling their media contacts that perhaps it would be best to begin managing expectations about Mueller’s results, and the word ‘anti-climactic’ was even used.

So Whitaker’s announcement shouldn’t have caught everyone by complete surprise, but that’s what happens when people invest heavily in narratives that feed their biases: new information has to be rejected or explained away so that they may continue to be comfortable in their beliefs.

As I stated in an earlier column:

“You’re being asked to believe that while all the leaks from inside the Mueller investigation that claimed to prove Trump–Russia collusion blew apart upon examination, somehow the very same leakers inside the special counsel’s office have been sitting on the real evidence and have not leaked any of it, waiting for some sort of grand revelation in the future.

“Can it actually be possible that supposed crack investigative journalists are this gullible?”

Now, just over a month since Whitaker’s statements, it’s becoming increasingly clear that he did, in fact, know what he was talking about, and is owed an apology by many on the Left and the Right who attacked him as being either confused or untruthful.

For the Democrats and the media outlets that spent more than two years relentlessly pushing a false narrative, the impending disaster of a Mueller final report that doesn’t find any Trump-Russia collusion has to be spun somehow into not being a total defeat.

The person currently tasked with being the public face of this embarrassing salvage effort is Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the current chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).

Over the past two weeks, Schiff has repeatedly raised his public profile by giving countless media interviews, in which he gushes about just how much evidence of Trump-Russia collusion he’s supposedly seen.

While pontificating confidently for the cameras about how vast the evidence is that he’s personally seen, Schiff has simultaneously floated a second talking point, and a most absurd one: he’s claiming Mueller’s exhaustive, two-year investigation was very limited in its scope, a claim that people who followed the Mueller special counsel probe since it’s inception will find howlingly funny.

This new talking point first surfaced Feb. 10, when Schiff complained that the Mueller Special Counsel’s office didn’t go far enough in its investigation into Trump’s ties to Deutsche Bank. Since then, Schiff has claimed several times that Mueller’s team simply didn’t go far enough in its Trump-related investigations.

In fact, Mueller’s special counsel’s office was given such a wide latitude that his team was allowed to go digging through the estate records of the president’s long-deceased father, Fred Trump, desperately looking for anything they could find. Despite months of lurid claims from media outlets such as The New York Times, it appears no tax fraud charges are forthcoming for any of the Trump family members.

Former White House counsel Ty Cobb, who left the administration in May 2018 when he announced his retirement, surfaced March 5 in an interview in USA Today in which he was loudly singing Mueller’s praises.

Cobb noted that Mueller is expected to submit a final report to new Attorney General William Barr that will confirm he found no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, or any other Trump-related crimes. Meanwhile, Democrats in the House and elsewhere, in places such as the Southern District of New York, are preparing to launch extensive fishing expeditions, in hopes of uncovering a crime that they can then use to remove Trump from office, or at the very least greatly hamper his re-election efforts.

“Schiff has tacked to basically saying Mueller didn’t look into enough things, and we need to be fishing around to find other possible avenues through which to get to the president,” Cobb told the USA Today.

Cobb also said that Schiff, along with House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., are “hell-bent on issuing a lot of subpoenas to get to the administration and perpetuate this investigation,” according to USA Today.

Watching Schiff desperately babble about the huge amount of evidence ‘proving’ Trump-Russia collusion that he’s supposedly seen but Mueller just couldn’t find reminds me of the end of the classic 1929 film “The Phantom of the Opera. In the final scenes, the Phantom, masterfully portrayed by actor Lon Chaney, is being pursued by a mob. Cornered and surrounded, he looks around wildly and then, with a flourish, he dramatically reaches inside his jacket and then holds up his clenched fist with a triumphal look on his face. Confused and fearful of what he might have in his hand, the mob falls back.

For just a few more moments, the dread Phantom is able to manipulate their fears to his advantage and then, with maniacal laughter, he slowly opens his fist to reveal … nothing!

Schiff and others are going to try to desperately point at their empty clenched fists in front of the entire country for the next two years.

They are reduced at this point to leaking ACTUAL EVIDENCE to their DNC Media allies to get out ahead of what Horowitz's report will reveal. Stuff they thought they'd manage to HIDE but that they now know Horowitz found & grand juries have been hearing about.
Never in a million years would they have admitted Azra Turk was one of theirs unless they realized Horowitz was about to make that revelation himself.

Never in a million years would they have called attention to Steele giving briefings on dossier BS inside the St. Dept...
BUT THEY HAVE TO NOW.

That's the corner they are boxed into.

They HAVE to try damage control before the final report drops.

Only now - NOW! - do they realize Horowitz got it all and so they are forced into damaging admissions themselves to try to control the fallout.

. . .

Anonymous leaks won't stand up to US Attorney's that presented cases to seated grand juries using real evidence & got indictments returned.

They were *always* doomed to lose this fight, the SpyGate plotters.



And you can quote me on that.

Judicial Watch: Records Obtained in Court-Ordered Discovery Reveal Obama White House Tracking FOIA Request for Clinton Emails

MAY 10, 2019

‘WH called – have we received a FOIA request’ – State Department

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained 44 pages of records from the State Department through court-ordered discovery revealing that the Obama White House was tracking a December 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking records concerning then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of an unsecure, non-government email system. Months after the Obama White House involvement, the State Department responded to the requestor, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), falsely stating that no such records existed.

Judicial Watch’s discovery is centered upon whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system and whether the State Department acted in bad faith in processing Judicial Watch’s FOIA request for communications from Clinton’s office. U.S District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides, as well as E.W. Priestap, to be deposed or answer written questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”

The State Department’s Office of Inspector General issued a report in January 2016 saying “At the time the request was received, dozens of senior officials throughout the Department, including members of Secretary Clinton’s immediate staff, exchanged emails with the Secretary using the personal accounts she used to conduct official business.” Also, the IG “found evidence that [Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills] was informed of the request at the time it was received …”

The State Department produced records in response to court-ordered document requests that detail Obama White House involvement in the Clinton email FOIA request.

In a December 20, 2012, email with the subject line “Need to track down a FOIA request from CREW”, Sheryl L. Walter, director of the State Department’s Office of Information Programs and Services (A/GIS/IPS), writes to IPS officials Rosemary D. Reid and Patrick D. Scholl and their assistants:

WH called – have we received a FOIA request from CREW (Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington) on the topic of personal use of email by senior officials? Apparently other agencies have. If we have it, can you give me the details so I can call the WH back? I think they’d like it on quick turnaround. Thanks! Sheryl

In the same email chain, Walter on December 20, 2012 also emailed Heather Samuelson, Clinton’s White House liaison, describing the CREW FOIA request:

Hi Heather – Copy attached, it was in our significant weekly FOIA report that we send to L and S/ES also. Do you want us to add you to that list? It’s a subset of things like this that we think likely to be of broader Department interest. More detail below re this request. As a practical matter given our workload, it won’t be processed for some months. Let me know if there are any particular sensitivities. If we don’t talk later, happy holidays! All the best, Sheryl

Sheryl: The request is assigned Case #F-2012-40981. It was received on 12/6/2012 and acknowledged on 12/10/2012. The request is assigned for processing.

On January 10, 2013, Walter writes to Samuelson that she is not including “personal” accounts in the FOIA request search:

Hi Heather – did you ever get any intell re what other agencies are doing re this FOIA request that seeks records about the number of email accounts associated with the Secretary (but isn’t specifying “personal” email accounts so we are interpreting as official accounts only). We are considering contacting the requester to find out exactly what it is they are looking for. Do you have any-concerns about that approach?

Soon afterward, Samuelson responds, “White House Counsel was looking into this for me. I will circle back with them now to see if they have further guidance.”

CREW’s general counsel, Anne Weismann, submitted a FOIA request to the State Department on December 6, 2012, seeking “records sufficient to show the number of email accounts of or associated with Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the extent to which those email accounts are identifiable as those of or associated with Secretary Clinton.”

On May 10, 2013, [Information Programs and Services] replied to CREW, stating that “no records responsive to your request were located.”

Samuelson became Secretary Clinton’s personal lawyer and in 2014 led the review of Clinton’s emails to determine which ones were work-related and which were personal. She was also one of five close Clinton associates granted immunity by the Department of Justice in the Clinton email investigation.
