Moment Russian FSB Captures Armed
Suspect In St. Petersburg Attack
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ One of the perpetrators of the bombing of the Russian subway system in St. Petersburg on April 3rd is now believed to have been captured, and the moment of the apprehension was captured on video tape... That blast, in addition to the property damage and disruption to the services, killed ten innocent people and injured fifty more. Take down was made in a remote area, where the likelihood of encountering or injuring civilians in the process was minimal. It took place on a pathway leading up to a set of train tracks, upon which a train was passing at the same time. That made their running approach virtually silent to the unsuspecting fugitive terrorist. Surely the FSB agents appreciated the opportunity to reciprocate with their own sneak attack on the bad guys who planted bombs in the middle of unaware citizens. Additionally, the first two FSB agents to engage the suspect were approaching from the opposite direction of those who were accompanied by the cameraman, giving them the advantage of having his escape route cut off and being able to attack from two directions simultaneously. They had him smothered before he ever knew what hit him... http://rickwells.us/moment-russian-fsb-captures-armed-suspect-st-petersburg-attack/

liar-nObama Lied, People Died
by M.J. Randolph
{observer.com} ~ Howard Dean did something different. In the midst of a very difficult war Dean rhetorically energized and exploited a corrosive lie that provided propaganda cover for America’s mass murdering enemies... That lie would eventually metastasize into a propaganda ditty yoking 9-11 conspiracy theories with the failure to find weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq. Everyone’s heard the brutal bumper sticker jingle that undermined the American war effort: “Bush Lied, People Died.” Glenn Reynolds points out that Johnson "also said British scientists had confirmed that 'sarin or a sarin-like substance' was used in the April 4 attack. Sarin is a nerve agent. liar-nObama didn’t get rid of Assad’s chemical arsenal" as his administration had claimed. liar-nObama lied, people are dying... http://observer.com/2017/04/obama-bashar-al-assad-syria-chemical-weapons/

Brit Hume scorches NPR for 1 blatant lie
by Bob Unruh
{wnd.com} ~ Longtime journalist and commentator Brit Hume has gone to social media to scorch National Public Radio for falsely reporting that Planned Parenthood provides mammograms... He cited a report from the Media Research Center’s NewsBusters that said, “NPR spreads old lie that Planned Parenthood offers mammograms.” “On Friday’s ‘All Things Considered,’ NPR health policy correspondent Alison Kodjak was the offender as she reported on President Trump’s reversal of Barack liar-nObama’s attempt to preserve Planned Parenthood subsidies in GOP states that moved to defund them,” the report said... http://www.wnd.com/2017/04/brit-hume-scorches-npr-for-1-blatant-lie/

Republicans Better Throw Paul Ryan
Out Of Speaker’s Office
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts on “the role of Speaker Paul Ryan in derailing President Trump’s agenda, at least to this point... President Trump’s set to travel to Ryan’s home district in Wisconsin tomorrow and visit the headquarters of tool-maker Snap-On.“ “But not to worry,” Dobbs reassures us, “Speaker Ryan won’t be there as the President focuses on his hire American, buy American, America first agenda – jobs, jobs, jobs. No, Speaker Ryan will be off in Europe, where he becomes the first Speaker in American history to have his own foreign policy.” Dobbs reminds us, “This is the same Speaker who worked against President Trump in the presidential campaign, who’s worked against him every step of the way, as Mr. Trump became President. And as you know, Ryan not only has his own foreign policy, he has an important domestic policy too. And it’s collided with the President’s agenda. It’s a dreadful mess that Ryan calls, insufferably, “A Better Way.” Get it? Better way.”... http://rickwells.us/lou-dobbs-republicans-better-throw-paul-ryan-speakers-office/

Heavily armed Muslim warns U.S. public:
'Be terrified'
by Leo Hohmann
{wnd.com} ~ A Muslim man entered a private gathering of Christians in a hotel ballroom in South Dakota, started cursing and livestreaming video on Facebook of the event and then, after he was ushered out... displayed multiple firearms and issued statements the speakers say were a direct threat to their safety. The man, wearing a t-shirt that said, “I’m American, I’m a Muslim, I open carry, I conceal carry, and I’m dangerous only if you’re stupid,” was approached by a security guard and told to leave. Once back in his car, he brandished an arsenal of weapons, including two military-style rifles with loaded magazines and three handguns, and made several threats of “Be scared, be F—ing scared. Be terrified.” Again, it was all livestreamed on Facebook while parked in the conference-center parking lot...He should of been arrested. Why wasn't he? http://www.wnd.com/2017/04/heavily-armed-muslim-warns-u-s-public-be-terrified/

British Role Confirmed in Trump Spying Scandal
British Wiretapping
{www.aim.} ~Past British Prime Ministers have been implicated in various scandals involving wiretaps. Some have involved the “Echelon” global surveillance system set up by the NSA with its counterparts in the other “Five Eyes” nations—UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Any one of these countries is able to circumvent domestic laws against spying on their own citizens by asking another Echelon member country to do it for them. This is precisely the “wiretap shell game” used by the liar-nObama administration to have British GCHQ spy on Trump, as outlined by Judge Napolitano and his sources.
To avoid unraveling the longstanding Five Eyes spying “wiretap shell game,” the GCHQ had to pretend they “routinely” came across this Trump-Russia wiretap data “by chance,” unprompted by requests from U.S. agencies (such as the NSA or CIA) or by liar-nObama officials, working outside normal NSA chain of command on Signals Intelligence or SIGINT (as Judge Napolitano reported on March 14).
So the heroic British GCHQ comes to the rescue with conveniently “accidental” captures of wiretap communications between Trump people and sinister-sounding “Russian intelligence agents,” with the wiretaps sent here to help out the U.S. agencies. We are supposed to believe the U.S. agencies and the liar-nObama White House just passively received this bombshell wiretap data from GCHQ, no questions asked, for over a year from late 2015 to early 2017. (The Guardian has no end date for the surveillance, such as the November 8 election, and indicates continued surveillance into the Trump transition, with the FBI “throwing more resources” into the investigation then.)
Did liar-nObama officials ever say, “Wait! Stop sending us this material, it may be illegal!” It does not appear so. Hence, the questions that have to be asked by the House and Senate Intelligence Committees are:
*Were there requests for more wiretap data on Trump and his team?*Were there requests for more complete transcripts, or even voice recordings?
This “alerting” of the U.S. on Trump-Russia communications was needed, according to the Guardian and its U.S. and U.K. intelligence sources, because the U.S. agencies were “asleep” or “untrained,” or were legally prohibited from “examining the private communications of American citizens without warrants.” But to the GCHQ, America is a “foreign” nation and evidently they think they are free to spy on Americans “without warrants.”
liar-nObama’s CIA and the Anti-Trump Task Force
Previous reporting has said that an interagency task force of six U.S. intelligence agencies was set up to investigate the alleged Trump-connected names supposedly discovered in “incidental collection” of digital wiretap surveillance of Russian communications. The six agencies are said to consist of the CIA, NSA, FBI, the Justice Department’s National Security Division, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Treasury Department financial crimes unit.
Until now, no one has known who in the liar-nObama administration set up the task force, who directs it, what its operating directives state, what its activities have entailed, and who it is really accountable to.
But the Guardian is now reporting that it was CIA Director John Brennan who initiated, in about August 2016, what clearly seems to be an illegal domestic investigation of the Trump political campaign, which would be prohibited by the CIA charter.
Reportedly “Brennan used British GCHQ information and intelligence from other partners to launch a major interagency investigation.” The infamous fake “Trump dossier” is apparently dragged in too.
Brennan then proceeded to give highly classified “urgent” briefings to individual members of the Congressional “Gang of Eight.” Beginning on about August 25, with then-Sen. Harry dinky-Reid (D-NV) on that date, CIA chief Brennan claimed that the Russian email hackings of the Democratic National Committee were designed to help Trump win the election, according to The New York Times. These partisan briefings represent the politicization of the CIA under liar-nObama, and are of dubious legality.
In September 2016, this anti-Trump intelligence task force changed the previous “incidental” collection to outright direct targeting of Trump people so that their communications with Russia were “actively monitored,” not merely retrieved retroactively in digital archives with names having to be laboriously “unmasked.”
Unmasking is unnecessary if one starts with the specific names of Trump personnel first, and then flags them for future surveillance, going forward in time. In that case, the “actively monitored” and flagged Trump names automatically trigger alerts in the NSA-GCHQ computers whenever the names turn up. These wiretap reports would then have been submitted to liar-nObama officials at the level of national security adviser Susan Rice and CIA director Brennan, and perhaps to liar-nObama himself.
Interestingly, the Guardian’s sources carefully try to avoid implicating or involving the NSA in GCHQ’s allegedly unprompted reporting on intercepted wiretap data on Trump associates. It’s the “shell game” again with the NSA and GCHQ covering for each other.
British GCHQ Director Implicated
Instead, the Guardian’s anonymous intelligence sources say that then-director of GCHQ Robert Hannigan passed on a top secret “director level” report on Trump-Russia in “summer 2016” to CIA Director John Brennan, rather than to the NSA. However, if GCHQ was using NSA’s digital wiretap facilities to “routinely” spy on Trump people, then the NSA would be implicated by the very arrangement used.
As we predicted at AIM, the unexpected sudden resignation of GCHQ director Hannigan, announced on January 23, makes him the potential villain and scapegoat. Hannigan stayed on his job until his replacement took office on April 7.
In an unprecedented BBC interview on April 5, Hannigan fired a parting shot at the Judge Napolitano and White House reports of his GCHQ’s spying on Trump. Hannigan snidely dismissed the reports, saying, “We get crazy conspiracy theories thrown at us every day. We ignore most of them. On this occasion it was so crazy that we felt we should say so and we have said it’s a ridiculous suggestion.”
The Guardian’s report refutes Hannigan, barely a week after he left office, possibly with official connivance or approval. But why is Hannigan getting being thrown under the bus so soon? Is it fear of the impending findings of U.S. Congressional and official investigations exposing GCHQ?
Such reports in the British press on highly sensitive intelligence matters surely must have been quietly cleared by the British government as a first fallback position on GCHQ spying on Trump. Otherwise the Guardian would be in deep trouble under the UK’s Official Secrets Act and its D-Notice procedure to suppress or censor news stories on secret intelligence matters.
Finally, the British also seem to be trying to spread the blame around to a laundry list of other countries allegedly passing on intelligence about Trump-Russia contacts—Germany, Estonia, Poland, Australia, the Dutch and the French DGSE.
Still, no “smoking gun” has ever been found in any of this wiretap material, for it would already have been leaked like Lt. Gen. Flynn’s fairly benign conversations with the Russian ambassador that got him fired.
Despite the sensational news from The Washington Post that the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to wiretap ex-Trump adviser Carter Page, which may even still be in effect, his “Russian contacts” also seem to be completely ordinary and routine. Page is so confident of his innocence that he has been going on various television news programs to talk openly about his work on Russia, supplying Russian contacts with some of his New York University classroom materials.
To be sure, a certain large percentage of these kinds of business meetings with Russians will turn out to be with undercover Russian intelligence officers—unbeknownst to the Western business and academic people meeting them. The media portray them as suspicious. But this kind of Russian spy game has always been going on since the Cold War and is nothing new.
The FISA warrant, rather than proving any malfeasance by Carter Page—again no “smoking gun”—only adds to the evidence that what President Trump said from the start was true: that Trump and his associates were under electronic surveillance.
Unasked Questions
What do the wiretaps on Trump actually say? The media don’t want to know if the NSA-GCHQ wiretaps actually exonerate President Trump.
One of the advantages of the adversarial system in the courts is that advocates on the opposing side ideally get a fair chance—unlike the one-sided media with journalists who, at the rate of more than 90 percent, contributed to the liar-Hillary Clinton campaign.
Questions not asked of Rice or other sources by the media include whether she or other liar-nObama officials “flagged” the unmasked Trump team names for future NSA or British GCHQ automatic unmasking and delivery of transcripts and summary reports.
Did the liar-nObama people regularize the “unmasking” so that routinely a new retroactive search was automatically ordered with automatic unmaskings? That would be another way to turn “incidental collection” into an effectively ongoing wiretap order. Did President liar-nObama or Rice or others request actual sound recordings of Trump and others to review?
Did the liar-nObama team “unmask” other presidential candidates and associates besides Trump, such as Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who visited Moscow in December 2015 and dined with Putin? Fox is reporting that Congressional investigators are now looking into whether other presidential candidates and Members of Congress were surveilled too. In 2014, CIA director Brennan was caught red-handed lying to the Senate about the CIA’s criminal hacking of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s computer system.
We are told that many, if not most, of these wiretaps and unmaskings of Trump people were not even wiretaps about Russia or “incidental collection” on legitimate foreign intelligence subjects, though they may have begun that way.
The evidence now indicates that the information was procured for partisan political purposes—to spy on the Trump opposition to liar-Hillary Clinton using the full weight of the U.S. government’s NSA spying apparatus or NSA facilities used by British GCHQ.
Pompeo Must Clean Out the CIA
Trump’s CIA Director Mike Pompeo is in a position to get to the bottom of this scandal. Yet, on April 13, 2017, in his first public speech as director, he seemed to indicate that the evidence being developed in connection with the CIA’s role in the illegal surveillance of President Trump was going to be ignored or brushed aside. It was a forceful, even strident, defense of the Agency.
“I inherited an Agency that has a real appreciation for the law and for the Constitution,” he claimed. “Despite fictional depictions meant to sell books or box-office tickets, we are not an untethered or rogue agency. So yes, while we have some truly awesome capabilities at our disposal, our officers do not operate in areas or against targets that are rightfully and legally off-limits to us.”
The evidence suggests the opposite. The CIA under liar-nObama’s CIA Director Brennan was involved in illegal surveillance, using those “truly awesome capabilities,” against political targets that should have been off-limits.
One of those targets was the President who appointed Pompeo as CIA director.
