Want to know why Obama looks so thin and haggard-looking with bags under his eyes since the election was held?

Read this.

It's not just FISAGate. Most people have no real idea just how deep the RussiaGate/SpyGate rabbit hole goes.

I do know.

I put in the work. I read all the filings. From most of the cases. I am not a hot take surface skimmer. Farming for engagement on here did not exist when I put in the groundwork on all of this from 2017 through 2020.

Read it to believe it.

See, Obama is not sleeping at night because he knows what's coming when Trump gets back in there with the AG and the FBI Director he wants.

Obama knows the country is ready for it now.

It wasn't ready for ALL of this to be declassified and exposed BEFORE...

BUT IT IS NOW.

AND THIS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIES THAT GAY MOTHERFUCKER.

Nothing can stop what is coming.Image
Fake News isn't just used to promote and hype fake scandals, false hoaxes and lying narratives in order to control the public perception of current events.

There's another key job Fake News has that was very important to The Machine right up until we destroyed it:

The suppression/denial/covering up for any real scandals that emerged.

The Machine protected it friends from their real crimes/scandals while inventing fake scandals/crimes to go after its enemies.

And trust me on this.

In that column linked up there, this was a massive scandal that, if we had a real mainstream news media in this country, would have sparked a national scandal and had every investigative reporter in the country digging into it.

As it so happened, only a few people like me realized what was happening and covered it at the time.

And history will reflect this.Image
After the American public spent more than five long years being relentlessly assailed with the false narrative that Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign [and it’s subsequent presidency] was compromised by Russian agents, not only has the truth emerged about the vicious dirty trick operation launched by the Hillary Clinton team, the September 2020 declassification of CIA briefing notes created in August of 2016 raised very real questions about which campaign it actually was that had Russian agents embedded within it.
But none of those questions were even asked, much less answered at the time by the mainstream press or anyone in either party in Washington DC.

I have been asking the pertinent questions ever since former CIA Director John Brennan’s briefing notes were declassified and publicly released by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. I wrote entire columns about the issue, both at The Epoch Times and at Uncover DC.

[The Epoch Times link no longer works.]

Now, if you haven’t heard about the Brennan briefing notes, what was in them, who he briefed and when, you’re probably not going to believe it at first when I lay this out, but this is all verified with evidence. It’s not speculation or wish-casting. Image
For dramatic effect, I’m going to go over the boring version of the timeline that leaves out just one crucial detail.

When the briefing notes have been covered in the [FAKE NEWS] news media, this is the version everybody sees. [REMEMBER, A VERY **CRUCIAL** DETAIL IS BEING OMITTED FROM THIS ACCOUNT!]

On July 26, 2016, a strategy meeting of the top level of the Hillary Clinton for President campaign took place.

During that strategy meeting, Clinton’s top foreign policy advisor presented her with a plan for her approval.

The plan involved paying political operatives in the campaign’s employ to manufacture fake Trump/Russia collusion scandals in order to distract the American public from her ongoing email server scandal.

After having the plan explained to her, Hillary Clinton gave her approval

The CIA soon learned about this top-level Clinton campaign strategy meeting, and early August, CIA Director John Brennan went to the White House to brief President Obama and several members of the National Security Counsel about both the plan to vilify President Trump with fake Russian scandals and Clinton’s approval of the plan.

More than a month later, the CIA sent an investigative referral to the FBI about the Russian intelligence analysis to James Comey and Peter Strzok.
OK now I’m going go through that same timeline again. See if you **spot** what I added in. You know, the crucial detail that was left out of every single damn Fake News version of this story:

On July 26, 2016, a strategy meeting of the top level of the Hillary Clinton for President campaign took place.

During that strategy meeting, Clinton’s top foreign policy advisor presented her with a plan he and others had come up with for her approval.

The plan involved paying political operatives in the campaign’s employ to manufacture fake Trump/Russia collusion scandals in order to distract the American public from her ongoing email server scandal.

After having the plan explained to her, Hillary Clinton gave her approval.

***Russian intelligence agents very quickly learned what was discussed at this Clinton campaign strategy meeting, and created their own intelligence analysis of the meeting.***

The CIA soon learned about this top-level Clinton campaign strategy meeting ***when it intercepted the Russian intelligence analysis,*** and CIA Director John Brennan went to the White House in early August to brief President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and several members of the National Security Counsel about both the plan to vilify President Trump with fake Russian scandals and Clinton’s approval of the plan
I said none of that above is speculation.

I’m going to show you the documentation that supports the claims.

You’ll see every one of the 6 points above is supported with documentary evidence.

The Brennan handwritten notes from his briefing with President Obama and members of the NSC at the White House either very late in July 2016 or early August 2016:Image
This is the September 2020 investigative referral that the CIA sent to the FBI, cc James Comey/Peter Strzok: Image
This is the DNI John Ratcliffe letter to Congress in September of 2020 announcing the declassification of both Brennan’s briefing notes and the CIA investigative referral: Image
This is DNI John Ratcliffe’s letter to the US Congress that accompanied the declassified documents when they were made public: Image
As you can see, all six points in the timeline are fully supported by the documentation that was declassified.

Even down to the fact it was Hillary Clinton’s chief foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan that presented her with the plan to target Trump with fake Russia scandals.Image
How Did The Russians Find Out So Fast?
The one thing **everybody avoids discussing** for the past two years is exactly how Russian intelligence agents were able to so quickly create a detailed analysis of this key Clinton campaign strategy meeting where the dirty trick operation targeting Trump with fake Russia scandals was presented to her and she approved it.

The one question nobody dares ask is: how did the Russians find out almost instantly what was discussed at this meeting and get an analysis of it created, which allowed the CIA to intercept it and then quickly go brief Obama and members of his NSC about it?

IF that Russian intelligence analysis was real, then that means the Hillary Clinton for President campaign either had a Russian agent embedded at a high level or someone at the highest level of the campaign was unwittingly handing the details to a Russian agent.
“That’s Just More Russian Disinformation!”
The one objection that’s going to be immediately raised when this question comes up of how Russian intelligence got this info so quickly is that the intelligence analysis the CIA intercepted was just Russian propaganda; it wasn’t real.

It would be claimed that the Hillary Clinton campaign never held a strategy meeting in July of 2016 where Jake Sullivan presented her with a plan to vilify Trump by manufacturing fake Russia scandals. It never happened.

The problem with this objection...is that Brennan and the CIA took the Russian intelligence analysis they’d intercepted so seriously that Brennan went to the White House to brief the President and the NSC about it.Image
And then more than a month later, in September, the CIA was still taking the Russian analysis so seriously that they sent an investigative referral to both then-FBI Director James Comey and Peter Strzok.Image
An Amazingly Accurate Fake Russian Intelligence Analysis?

While two years ago back in September/October of 2020 it was pretty darn easy to dismiss the new declassification as just ‘more Russian disinformation’, a whole lot more evidence has surfaced since then about the fact that the Clinton campaign did indeed launch a dirty trick operation that targeted the Trump campaign with fake Russia scandals.

If the Russian intel analysis that the CIA intercepted and briefed Obama about is fake, it just so happens it was an amazingly accurate fake.

Two years ago several key facts about the manufacture of the fake Steele Dossier and Alfa Bank hoaxes by Clinton’s private operatives had not yet been made public.

For that reason the mainstream press had to expend little effort in simply dismissing the Ratcliffe declassification as ‘mere Russian disinformation’.
John Brennan himself, when braced with the implications of his own declassified briefing notes in October of 2020, had this to say to Jake Tapper on CNN:

So when asked about these notes and what they say, Brennan obfuscates and lies about his own briefing notes.

The CIA intercepted a Russian intelligence analysis of a very key top level Clinton campaign strategy meeting in which her top foreign policy advisor presented her with a plan to vilify Trump with fake Russia scandals as a way to distract the public from her own email server scandal.

And Clinton approved the plan.

THIS IS WHAT BRENNAN'S OWN NOTES SAY.Image
What the former CIA Director artfully dodges in this interview with fake newsman Jake Tapper is the real reason the CIA sent an investigative referral to the FBI: they wanted to know who at the very top of the Clinton campaign was either a Russian agent or blabbing key Clinton campaign strategy details to a Russian agent.

People miss the mark when they think what the CIA was asking the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division to do was to investigate to see if Hillary Clinton’s campaign had indeed approved and launched a dirty trick operation targeting Donald Trump.

NOTHING ABOUT THAT HAS TO DO WITH COUNTERINTELLIGENCE.

No, what then-FBI Director James Comey and Peter Strzok were being asked to investigate and find out was **who in the Clinton campaign was compromised by Russia**.

THAT is the kind of thing a counterintelligence investigation looks into.

How did a foreign intelligence service get all the details of this Clinton meeting?

And I watched 2 years ago as nobody cared to even ask these questions, much less answer them.
But I have hope that someday these important questions will be addressed.

About which 2016 Presidential campaign it was that had real Russian assets embedded in it.

Because I suspect Special Counsel John Durham is very interested in how Russian intelligence so quickly got an analysis of the meeting.

I believe Durham’s very interested in anything having to do with the Clinton dirty trick campaign targeting Trump for fake Russia scandals, and that would include how Brennan came to the White House in mid-2016 to brief both President Obama and key members of the NSC about it.Image
I’ll close with this: The Vice President is a key member of the NSC. In fact, the VP is what’s referred to as a ‘statutory attendee’ when the NSC meets.

He’s required to be there.

It is **extremely likely** that current President Joe Biden was in the room when CIA Director Brennan briefed Obama and other NSC members in mid-2016 about the coming Trump/Russia hoaxes that the Clinton campaign was preparing to release.

The Obama White House knew the Steele Dossier and the Alfa Bank hoaxes were coming long before anyone else did.Image
Image
They all knew. They did all this knowingly.

By mid-2016.

Long before any FISA warrant application was presented to spy on Carter Page.

They all knew, nobody was fooled by the Clinton private operatives coming to them with the Steele Dossier hoax or the Alfa Bank hoax.

Obama knew. Biden knew. Comey knew. Brennan knew. Strzok knew. Susan Rice knew.

THEY. ALL. KNEW.Image
And they played along anyway and pretended they didn’t know anything at all about a dirty trick campaign using paid operatives being sent to them by Hillary Clinton.

So they could spy on and investigate and sabotage Donald J. Trump.

And Durham will 100% prove this.

And you can quote me on that.

[end column from 2022]
And Durham DID prove all of this. It's in the filings. It's already in all the court records.

What hasn't happened is any CHARGES and PROSECUTIONS for any of this.

Good thing there's no statute of limitations on TREASON, right?

Something I assure you that Trump knows VERY WELL.

He gets in there with the Attorney General and the FBI Director that he wants, hell yes they're going to pay for what they did to him.

Now you know why that tired looking gay motherfucker isn't sleeping too well. And why he's now reduced to giving absurd speeches like this as he tries to head off what is coming.

BUT NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING.

Ain't life grand?Image

All eyes on Delaware County.

briancates.substack.com/p/is-delaware-…

Those whistleblower videos, man.

They were REALLY something...

The county officials weren't just CAUGHT on video ordering the destruction of federal election records to cover up the shit they did in the 2020 election...

...the whistleblower also got some of them on camera actually DESTROYING the records.

This is a column from FOUR YEARS AGO, November 2021.Image
Image
Exactly like what Maricopa does in AZ, waiting for ALL THE OTHER COUNTIES TO REPORT FIRST, so they KNOW how many fake votes to 'find' to rig the election results, Delaware County did this for PA in 2020.

But an open records request to actually SEE the Delaware County election records presented a massive problem for the county's election officials: the numbers they had to report to hand PA to Joe Biden so he could 'win' it DID NOT COME CLOSE TO MATCHING the actual records.

So Delaware County officials were forced to begin getting, shall we say, CREATIVE in trying to fight off a court ruling to make the records accessible.Image
Yes, this is true.

Upon the court granting the petitioners the access to the Delaware 2020 election records they were requesting to view, the county election officials marched straight to where they'd been hiding the records and started destroying them.

AND THEY WERE CAUGHT ON VIDEO DOING THIS.Image

In light of today's breaking news about Adam Schiff and his leak team in the US Congress:

A gentle reminder: this was one of the last columns I wrote for the @EpochTimes back in 2021.

You know, way back in the dim dark days of yesteryear when I was still one of them weird 'conspiracy theorists' that thought SpyGate was going anywhere.

Does anybody REMEMBER that this happened? Schiff and Swalwell were both surveilled and investigated by a federal grand jury for SEVERAL YEARS?

Or am I the only journalist in America that recalls any of this?

theepochtimes.com/opinion/suspec…Image
Image
In case you've never read it, and don't know any of the facts, I'm going to reproduce that entire Epoch Times column here in a thread:

This column appeared on the Epoch Times website on June 22, 2021. Image
Two prominent Democrat politicians who sit on the House Intelligence Committee have alerted the news media that they were informed by the Apple corporation back on May 5 that their phone records had been targeted by a subpoena issued by a grand jury as part of a federal investigation into criminal leaking of classified material.

Apple said in a released statement that a non-disclosure order from a federal judge prevented them for more than three years from alerting any of the affected phone and email accounts that their records had been accessed by the federal grand jury.

Both Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) stated in media interviews how shocked they were to discover that that federal prosecutors would even think of allowing a grand jury to subpoena their private phone data. Both men professed outrage at the invasion of their privacy, and congressional Democrats are now angrily calling for former Attorney Generals Jeff Sessions and William Barr to be brought in to answer questions, along with former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The validity of both the subpoenas and the evidence upon which they were based are loudly being called into question, something that has already led to Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz to review the matter, to ensure that all proper steps and regulations were followed while these congressmen, their staff, several family members, and media reporters were spied on by this federal grand jury.

The Durham Report Classified Annex has now been released by Senator Grassley.

Thread:



Thanks to @walkafyre for posting the link!grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Entire first page.

I suspect the part blocked out at the bottom is the grand jury information. Image
It could be the same redacted section appears at the top and bottom of every page in the annex is that they still haven't gone public with

1. the federal grand jury
2. the federal grand jury's location
3. which court is hearing the evidence/managing the cases

In past filings I've looked at, the top and bottom of each page is stamped with the court or Special Counsel's office that involved in the investigation.

So there's something STILL remaining classified, and I suspect it has to do with the grand jury and whoever may have been leading it.Image
