Three pings on the new documentation of CIA soliciting 5 Eyes spying on Trump.
Putting this one first b/c it's the least discussed, but very important.
Ping 1. Intentionally or not, new info could function as a limited hangout to minimize blowback on actors OTHER than CIA.
1/5
Tweeted this last night. Remember, Brennan/CIA were evidently NOT the whole source & origin of Russiagate. We already know that. Don't be swayed by new info into thinking something different. 2/5
Here's your coincidence.
9 March 2016 was the day the FBI went ballistic over discovery of the contractors' access to raw 702-query material at the Wash Field Office.
The discovery was by NSA. Lisa Page notified Peter Strzok about it in her famous text msg.

A few missiles are one thing. We can be complacent that intercept relatively close to #Israel works OK.
But what only US can provide is DETERRENCE, & major USN assets are now out of position to do that, apparently by design. 2/7

Date when Gal Luft told DOJ about this alleged mole is very interesting (28-28 Mar 2019).

So DOJ knew about mole & China links at same time Hunter Ukraine links were coming out & Trump had investigator who was bound to uncover them.

It's true that a president whose nation is under invasion would ordinarily be more diplomatic about the natl politics of by far his biggest donor.
One of the things that give the whole Ukraine situation a consistently "off" ring.

The Biden admin is Zelensky's chief excuse & touchstone on this point. The admin isn't listening to its own people, or making a convincing case - for *its specific actions*, as opposed to a case for supporting Ukraine.

No disrespect to Herman, a justly admired analyst, but it's too limiting to see US maritime superiority in Middle East as being "about" keeping O&G shipping lanes open.
Almost everyone has same narrow & off-tgt view.
Keeping waterways open is of course important. And not...

An excellent summary of analysis about the origins of the “deep state,” done by sundance at CTH, can be found at this link. theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/06/0…

On shooting death of Al Jazeera journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh, in Jenin (W Bank) 11 May 2022, best analysis by far comes from @elderofziyon.

Bit more to it than that, but US leadership is lacking. It's not something Milley can change.
Turkey closed the Black Sea to Bosphorus passage for warships at end of Feb.
As administrator of Montreux Convention, Turkey can do that. news.usni.org/2022/02/28/tur… 1/4
It's uncharted territory in some ways. It's why US hasn't had an Aegis missile defense ship on station in Black Sea since Feb.
That means we have big holes in NATO missile defense vs Iranian & Russian IRBMs.
As for grain exports from Ukraine, Turkey's negotiating...

...isn't all we know.
Taken together, what we know tells us that Russiagate/Spygate was a comprehensive enterprise, of which Hillary & the dossier were a big hinge, but not the earliest moves.

Re the excellent Callin going in @LeeSmithDC podcast: Elias is a "huge fish" b/c he knows who's behind all of this.
It's not Hillary. It's bigger than Obama. It's not "The FBI."
Elias knows who it is. callin.com/live/durham-on…@LeeSmithDC Elias wasn't running it. He knows who was.
Good point about FIFA case involving all same players: this looks like a shadow war that's been going on for at least a decade.
Given Elias' biggest source of election interference funding, there's at least one place we HAVE to look.

I don't think this is just generic warning either.

An attempt to remove Russia from UNSC (demanded by Zelensky) would have to blow UNSC up anyway. Could not be done another way.
Curiously, under conditions, I'd be OK with that. wsj.com/articles/ukrai…

Main condition is that US have alternative to current UNSC situation to propose & implement immediately.
