New tonight: Given NYT has now made details on Russian spy public, I can now report additional info we had withheld. Asset had direct access to Vladimir Putin, including the remarkable ability to take photos of presidential documents, and had served US for more than a decade. 1/
2/Asset had risen to the highest levels of Russia’s national security infrastructure. US offered extraction months earlier during Obama administration, but asset refused. Asset’s information was crucial to IC assessment that Putin had directed election interference to favor Trump
This is based on Trump and Obama administration ofcials with direct knowledge.

As Putin again claims “no proof” of Russian responsibility for #MH17 shootdown, let’s recount the incontrovertible evidence as I lay out in #TheShadowWar

1- US satellite and radar data showed within hours that the missile was fired from inside Russian-controlled territory. 1/
2/ Blast pattern in cockpit and fuselage of plane corresponded to blast pattern of Russian BUK antiaircraft missile system - in front of and above target.
3/ Pieces of BUK missile were found inside the bodies of cockpit crew, along with pieces of windshield.
4/ Eyewitness accounts and photographs tracked the BUK missile and mobile launcher’s arrival in Russian-controlled territory hours before the attack and its departure hours after & subsequent return back inside Russia proper.

Folks, Republicans and Democrats, as you digest the President’s insistence he can and would accept information from foreign countries in an election, remember: information is the interference. It is the weaponizing of information. This is the core of what Russia did in 2016. 1/
2/ Case in point 1: Russian hackers stole DNC emails and then released those emails to hurt Clinton and help Trump. The stolen information was both the target and the weapon. And Russia maximized the impact by releasing said info around the DNC convention.
3/ Case in point 2: Russia stole John Podesta’s emails and then released them, as before, to damage Clinton and help Trump. The information was once again the target and the weapon. And the weapon was timed for maximum impact: released 29 minutes after the Access Hollywood tape.

#Epstein #Wexner #Lindner #Riklis

In 2006 Charles Linder (partner of my abuser and his father Meshulam Riklis) was named as the 2nd wealthiest man in Ohio.

The first wealthiest man in Ohio was Leslie Wexner.

NOTE: These men all know each other. Connect the dots.
In this 1991 lawsuit Rapid American Corp v Harris you can see Meshulam Riklis's name as the owner of Rapid American.

Carl Lindner's name is mysteriously mis-spelled.

Linder was Riklis's partner.

Riklis also went to Ohio State like Leslie Wexner.

Riklis served in the British army in 1942-1946.

It is during the war it has been said that Riklis worked as a covert agent aka intelligence asset aka spy.

Here are a series of tweets with American content. Bernie vs establishment Democrats.

I’m putting them here so you can use them to compare how similar in content, and intensity they are to corresponding Canadian tweets between a divided left.
Take any Canadian thread that has Green or NDP ideologues arguing the merits of voting your conscience over voting strategically in the next election.

Examine the rationale Singh and May use to gain votes.
Take a step back from the rhetoric and look at the strategy. It’s Exactly the same as Bernie.

Take another look at the narrative progressive supporters are using to argue the merits of a Green or NDP vote. It’s exactly the same strategy.

Equador: Swedish national #OlaBini arrested for connections to #wikileaks.

Johannes Wahlström:

#JulianAssange's "human rights are violated on a daily basis"

"#JulianAssange is imprisoned for #journalism."

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"
