A BLITZ ON STEFAN HALPER
Stefan Halper has been in the news recently as he was the one who reached out to George Papadopoulos in September 2016 to arrange a meeting in London.

dailycaller.com/2018/03/25/geo…
In 1967, Halper graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. with high honours.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
Halper then studied at the University of Oxford, graduating with a doctorate in philosophy in 1971.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
Presumably shortly after graduation, Halper then began working as a member of the White House Domestic Council as a member of the Nixon Administration, holding the position from 1971 to 1973.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
After this, Halper's position evolved, and he joined the Office of Management and Budget as Assistant Director of the Management and Evaluation Division, holding the position from 1973 to 1974.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
On August 9, 1974, Gerald Ford was inaugurated as the President of the United States, due to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon.
Halper was then moved from the Office of Management and Budget to join the office of the Chief of Staff, working as the Assistant to the Chief of Staff. This was a position he held from 1974 to January 20, 1977.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
As such, Halper worked as an assistant to three Chiefs of Staff - Alexander Haig (until September 21, 1974), then Donald Rumsfeld (from September 21, 1974 to November 20, 1975), and then Dick Cheney (from November 20, 1975 to January 20, 1977).
On November 2, 1976, Jimmy Carter was elected to become the President of the United States.
Carter said he would not hire a White House Chief of Staff, and he held onto that position (for roughly two years), and as such, Halper left his position on January 20, 1977.
Halper worked as a legislative assistant to Senator William Roth of Delaware holding this position from 1977 to 1979.

books.google.co.uk/books?id=cj96D…
Because Halper was working with Senator Roth, he also became a Special Counsel to the United States Congress' Joint Economic Committee.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
In 1979, Halper left both positions to become the National Director for Policy Development for George H. W. Bush's Presidential campaign.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
At the 1980 Republican convention, Richard V. Allen, then Ronald Reagan's foreign policy adviser for his Presidential campaign, searched for a potential Vice President for Reagan, and spoke with Halper about considering H. W. Bush for the role.

nytimes.com/2000/07/30/mag…
Halper then became the National Director of Policy Coordination on the Reagan / Bush Presidential campaign.

upi.com/Archives/1983/…
On November 4, 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected to become the President of the United States.
From 1981 to 1984, Halper worked as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
As such, Halper served under three different Secretaries of State - Alexander Haig (from January 22, 1981 to July 5, 1982), Walter J. Stoessel, Jr. (from July 5, 1982 to July 16, 1982) and George P. Shultz (from July 16, 1982 to 1984).
After this, Halper became a Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense, and a Senior Advisor to the Department of Justice, positions lasting from 1984 to 2001.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
However, in 1982, Halper helped organise Palmer National Bank while working as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, then left his role shortly before the bank opened. By 1984, Halper was Palmer National Bank's chairman.

nytimes.com/1984/11/01/us/…
The idea for Palmer National Bank came about after a conversation between Halper and Harvey D. McLean, Jr. in 1980, both of whom worked on H. W. Bush's Presidential campaign. McLean later became the Vice Chairman of Palmer National Bank.

nytimes.com/1984/11/01/us/…
Halper also became the chairman / majority shareholder of two other banks - the National Bank of Northern Virginia in Leesburg, VA; and the George Washington National Bank in Alexandria, VA.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
Oh, apparently Halper's former father-in-law was Ray Cline, who was the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

books.google.co.uk/books?id=OhdZC…
Also, Palmer National Bank made loans to customs who then used it to channel the money to a Swiss bank account controlled by Colonel Oliver North, who then used the same bank account to provide military assistance to the contras.

books.google.co.uk/books?id=OhdZC…
Apparently while working on H. W. Bush's Presidential campaign, a member of Halper's research staff was Robert Gambino, a veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency.

books.google.co.uk/books?id=pqevD…
Stefan Halper was indeed married to Ray Cline's daughter, Sibyl Cline, now known as Sibyl MacKenzie.

nytimes.com/1996/03/16/us/…

whitepages.com/name/Sibyl-Mac…
Several Central Intelligence Agency related people were on the H. W. Bush campaign, including Ray Cline, Sam Wilson, Howard Aaron, Henry Knoche, Robert Gambino, Bruce Rounds, Jon Thomas, Jack Coackley and Richard Stillwell. All working with Halper.

washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
Halper was on the Board of Directors at the National Intelligence Study Center, alongside Ray Cline, in 1983.

google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j…
Halper also began writing a weekly syndicated column for 30 newspapers, hosting "World Wise", a television program, and "This Week From Washington", a radio program, from 1986 to 2000.

iwp.edu/faculty/detail…
"World Wise" was hosted on NET Television.

csmonitor.com/1996/1018/1018…
The President of Palmer was Webb Hayes IV, and Halper also received assistance in organising Palmer National Bank's foundation from a Texas real estate mogul he met during his trips while working for the Department of State.

washingtonpost.com/archive/busine…
Apparently Halper and his team of Central Intelligence Agency people during the Reagan / Bush ticket actually collected inside information on the Carter Administration's foreign policy - with Halper in charge - although Ray Cline rejected this account.

nytimes.com/1983/07/07/us/…
The real estate mogul involved with Palmer National Bank was apparently Herman K. Beebe, who gave a $2.8 million loan to Harvey McLean.

I will be stepping out the house soon so I'll stop there for the time being.

pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

BREAKING: Judge dismiss House Oversight Dems lawsuit v. GSA for seeking info related to Trump Hotel DC lease for lack of standing. "The fact that a political remedy is hard to achieve does not automatically swing open the doors to the federal courts."
Rationale the judge applied reaching the afore-quoted conclusion seems—to this very non-lawyer—like it also could be applied to the 196 Senate and House Dems' emoluments lawsuit v. Trump too.*

1. #QAnon told us to re-read #Q's drops regarding the FBI leadership modifying their form 302 interview reports from the interviewing agents originally completing the forms, to changing them afterwards. The DOJ is now being forced by Congress to supply this info.

2. #QAnon's point reveals that "McCabe was upset after hearing from the agents that they didn’t think Flynn was lying", therefor needed to change the report to say he was. saraacarter.com/what-happened-…

3. #QAnon Horowitz has received referrals & is investigating.

@RepMarkMeadows said “There’s growing evidence that 302s were edited & changed to either not prosecute OR to prosecute”

NEW: Details of "suspicious" approaches of George Papadopoulos, including from Sergei Millian, the Steele dossier source. dailycaller.com/2018/06/06/geo… @dailycaller
Confirming for the 1st time that Millian is who Papadopoulos was referring to a July 22, 2016 Facebook message referred to in Mueller documents. Papadopoulos met Millian a couple of days after. Some possible implications for the dossier.
Simona Mangiante says that Millian offered Papadopoulos $30,000 a month in a business deal that would require him to work from within Trump admin. She says Papadopoulos rejected the idea.

The “thousands of Clinton’s emails” story told by GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS, which is critical to “Trump/Russia collusion”, still doesn’t add up.

ALEXANDER DOWNER just blew a major hole in it.

And: I think Special Counsel Robert Mueller has known this for months too.

THREAD
In this thread I’m going to show you three NEW pieces of info:

1: First relevant interview with ALEXANDER DOWNER (H/T @ChuckRossDC)

2: A new analysis of @RepAdamSchiff Feb 2018 memo in light of that interview

3: A new, not yet reported Jan 2018 interview with JOSEPH MIFSUD
This will be controversial, so I’m going to keep this thread as factual as possible with clear references to source material that you can check

I want to lay out three possibilities for you....
