Mossad vs. the FBI

This is one wherein the FBI actually turns out to be the Good Guys.

...The FBI is America’s lead counterintelligence agency. As such, the FBI’s #1 priority is protecting America (and Americans) from foreign intelligence services that engage in espionage and target USPersons to turn against America. Israel is a country with a long and well documented history of espionage against America, of targeting, compromising (for action against America), and even killing Americans—yes, the USS Liberty and Rachel Corrie are two examples that come to mind immediately. The total tally of cases that confirm the FBI’s designation of Israel’s Mossad as an HIS (Hostile Intelligence Service) is too long to go into here. Think of Jeffrey Epstein, Jonathan Pollard (now leading a hero’s life in Israel for betraying America), the Larry Franklin/AIPAC case, the well documented spying and eavesdropping on US officials (up to and including the POTUS), the same regarding members of Congress—not to mention the special status of AIPAC and the Israel Lobby generally to operate as agents of Israel without registering....

Mossad, a Hostile Intelligence Service.

Who'da thunk?

South Korea Has a Suggestion for Biden

 We all know that another several hundred pardons will be issued by President King of Corruption Biden.

But why bother with all that paperwork?  There's an easier way, now in effect in South Korea, and for the same reason; the President is corrupt as Hell (second only to Biden). 

 

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declares emergency martial law, accusing the opposition party of "sympathizing with North Korea and of anti-state activities." (CNN)

"Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin."

"I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country."

He asked people to believe him and tolerate "some inconveniences."...AOSHQ quoting Colin Rugg

Substitute "Russia" for "North Korea".  The rest of the text is just fine for the purposes of Joe and the Democrats.

Of course, there are those 450++million guns in the hands of Americans to contend with......

Act Blue On the Hot Seat--FINALLY!

Whaddya know about that?  Act Blue is going under the microscope.  

Is this news?  YES!  Is it significant?  Probably.  So it is not covered by any SE Wisconsin news outlet.

A Wisconsin court decision is placing increasing scrutiny on ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform. Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel approved a subpoena directed at ActBlue, demanding explanations concerning GOP consultant Mark Block’s claims about unauthorized donations using his email identity. This legal action is part of a broader investigation coordinated by Congress and 19 state attorneys general.

Judge Schimel rejected ActBlue’s objections, which claimed compliance with the subpoena was overly burdensome. The court granted Block and his legal team from the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) permission to pursue discovery, aiming to uncover potential fraud tied to the unauthorized donations from his old email address linked to various liberal campaigns....

Act Blue created "smurfs."  A "smurf" is someone who is named as a contributor to a Democrat campaign, but who did NOT make a donation--exactly as Mark Block asserts.  Usually, "smurf donations" are in very small amounts--$2.XX, as an example.  Sometimes those fake "donors" contributed well into the five figures ($10K+++) to hundreds of Democrat campaigns all around the country.  The Evers campaign of 2018 had a boatload of them, as did the campaign of Abortion Protasciewicz.

Congress and 19 Attorneys General are looking into Act Blue.  But not Wisconsin "news" orgs.

 

Got Gallium?

No, that's not a creature from Lord of the Rings.

Red China produces (mines) 98% of the world's gallium output.  And they just decided to halt ALL exports of the material to the USA.

What does gallium do?

 

 Yah, well, we can go back to hard-wired phones and ........ahhh......the US mail for data transmission, no?.

Yes, the Reds just told Trump to GFHimself....

HT:  Wauck

You're NEVER Cynical Enough...

 Maybe you thought that the 'opposition press' will finally bring out all the truth during the next Administration.

Hah.  That's only if you believe that the 'opposition press' tells all the truth.

They won't.  I'll cut to the chase here, but the entire post from Sundance is worth reading.

...A good rule of thumb is never to think of anyone from inside the DC information system, regardless of their disposition, as a Truth Teller.

Every Information Manager was matriculated, and are compromised, by the system around them that is entirely based on corrupt activity....

 ...Truth Teller Examples: Patel Durov, Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and Matt Taibbi.  Pavel Durov (arrested in France) now lives in Dubai. Glenn Greenwald now lives in Brazil. Edward Snowden now lives in Russia.

  Truth Manager Examples: John Solomon, Sean Hannity, Sara Carter, Catherine Herridge, Steve Bannon, Kash Patel, Glenn Beck, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and the entire Fox News lineup.  There are many more, but the financial aspect runs consistent.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had to agree to stop being a Truth Teller and become a Truth Manager in order to be released from prison.  As he readily admits, part of the agreement was to give the Western Intelligence Community first right of review for any information WikiLeaks would release.  This shifts Julian Assange from Truth telling to Truth managing.  In this unique case, I don’t fault him a bit....

The likelihood of Trump releasing all the truth?

Zero.

Not Just Tacky. Insulting!

The pictures are at the link.

Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations look like what would happen if a group of circus clowns projectile vomited all over the White House, which I guess is the perfect metaphor to sum up the last four years.

Remember that Barack Obama made him Vice-President.  

Obama would do anything for the power; the Bidens would do anything for the money.

 

Remember This?

ZMan has gems buried in his essays.  Here's one most of you have forgotten, as did I.

...once word got out that Clinton had pardoned Marc Rich there was a hue and cry in Washington demanding that the incoming Republican administration investigate the matter. It was not just Republicans pretending to be outraged. All the beautiful people were playing along as well. Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to look into it, but she took the job seriously, so she was replaced with James Comey, who could find nothing wrong with it....

Key word:  "pretending."  George W. Bush fired a real prosecutor and hired a Deep State apparatchik.

Gee.  Huh.  How could that happen?

The Pardon Was NOT for Hunter

Can't claim this is original with me.

The pardon was for the benefit of Joe and his entire crime family.  Remember that Joe's criminal (treasonous) involvement with Ukraine, China, and Russia all flowed through Hunter--whose criminal IRS counts are no longer operative.

 ...On Sunday night, President Joe Biden announced a “full and unconditional pardon” on all “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” over an 11-year period after repeatedly vowing he wouldn’t.

“I have never seen language like this in a pardon document that purports to pardon offenses that have not apparently even been charged, with the exception of the Nixon pardon,” Margaret Love, U.S. pardon attorney from 1990 to 1997, told Politico....

Without those convictions, indictments of Treason Joe will be near-impossible, and Treason Jim Biden is also breathing easier.

Update on Georgia's "Color Revolution"

Yesterday we noted that Georgia (the country) went nat-populist in its recent elections.

Today, Vox brings the news that the current President refuses to resign.

The neoclowns are up to their usual shenanigans in another country that borders on Russia, led by a French diplomat who somehow managed to get elected President and, like Zelensky in Ukraine, is now refusing to step down when her term comes to an end....

She also called for riots to express 'the real will of the people.'  I.E., the usual crap.

Look where that got the Ukrainians!

Grim's Analysis of Aleppo (etc.)

It's very hard to read the entrails in the Middle East.  Grim, who knows stuff, disentangles them.

...Yesterday a surprise offensive led to the fall of Aleppo, Syria's largest city. The most important question to ask yourself when trying to understand the various wars in the Middle East is, "Whose proxies are these?" The struggle for dominance and control in the region is led by different factions, and if a surprise offensive happens it means that one of them has provided clandestine support at sufficient scale to enable a breakout.  ...

Grim then dis-assembles a typically obtuse NYT article.  (Remember that the NYT is the official FBI spox.  Not CIA; that's the WaPo.)  In graf 9, the NYT finally comes clean on WhoDunIt.

...Oh. They're Turkish and Muslim Brotherhood forces. Erdogan, who has been aligned with and backed the Muslim Brotherhood across the region, is making a play to take advantage of the recent crippling of Hezbollah by Israel to strengthen his power versus Iran. This is part of the long-running Sunni-Shia competition to dominate the Middle East, and Erdogan's personal quest to restore Turkey to the leadership position of the Islamic world. The Ottoman Turks held that position (and the title of 'caliph' of the 'caliphate,' which the Brotherhood exists to try and restore) for centuries; and while the oil and gas wealth of the Gulf states gives them power and independence from the traditional Sunni leadership in Egypt and Turkey, it's a goal of Erdogan's to reclaim that place....

Side-note:  please, please, please:  observe that there is a religious background here.  Yes, it's 'territory' and 'influence,' but deep in the background is the theological split in Mohammedanism.

 

 ...Iran is the leading challenger to that traditional Sunni leadership, and it has had a good run for decades now following our deposing of Saddam and their consequent establishment of a 'Shia crescent' stretching from the gulf across Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon to the Levant and the Mediterranean. They use this to supply Hezbollah, and then Hamas and the Houthis. Their Houthi proxies at the mouth of the Red Sea have given them an ability to threaten shipping throughout the Middle East. ...

Russia supports Iran, who supports Hezbollah.  Russia also assists the Houthis.  When Israel took action against Hezbolla, Turkey moved.

...Most likely Erdogan started moving the clandestine support for this play about the time Israel and Hezbollah started their clash, realizing he'd be able to expand and consolidate his zone of control in Syria in the wake of that. He has several times threatened Israel over the war in Gaza as part of asserting that claim for leadership of the Islamic world, but as you can see, he's functionally on Israel's side -- even if he's actually only on his own. His actions damage the Iran/Russia/Assad axis, and therefore are bad for Israel's enemies. Whatever he may say out loud, what he's doing advances their interests:  accidentally, but actually....

 

There.  Clear enough?   

 

Of course not, Jake:  it's the Middle East.

 

Sen. "Holy Pictures" Hawley

Interesting little discussion here in the Senate about a stock-trading ban for Congress.

Note that Sen. Hawley is posing for holy pictures.

Also note that Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) offers a VERY sensible amendment suggestion. (8:00)

Congrats to you, Ron!!  But will it get past Holy Pictures Hawley??
