 The Latest WaPo Dezinformatsiya on Trump 
 and the Russians 
EsgqkMxD0kqA_ZR0ndNfBTYE0j4XtK8P-xBTpjGmAEqY3AY8V7WuiZzbvF1YZHuSmGl6QgwGlN5uBjFqSE-280LWsYlcDIgpom76y8Vcp7wbaPJkAiOL2yCXDNvLCJs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
According to the old adage, there are two sides to any story — unless it's a Leftmedia hit piece, and then there is only their side.
          Monday the Washington Post trumpeted, "Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador." The Post claimed that Donald Trump disclosed classified information that "jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State." The Post asserted the sources of this information were current and former unnamed U.S. officials. How's that for ambiguity.
          Of course, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Reuters, CNN and BuzzFeed all got the same memo from the same "official sources" with the same objectives.
          Monday evening, both National Security Advisor H.R. McMasters and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson insisted the Post's "story is false." McMasters stated, "At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no military operations were disclosed that were not already known publicly." Tillerson released a similar statement which read, "During President Trump's meeting with Foreign Minister Lavrov a broad range of subjects were discussed among which were common efforts and threats regarding counter-terrorism. During that exchange the nature of specific threats were discussed, but they did not discuss, sources, methods or military operations."
          Tuesday morning Trump weighed in with the following social media post, "As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism." That brought howls of accusations, claiming that according to the Post, "Trump just threw his top advisers under the bus ... again." We're not sure how that phrase applies here because he didn't contradict anything they said, even though that's what the Post would have you assume.
          Here's a reality check: Nations with shared national security interests, in this case concerns about bombs on civilian airliners, share classified information on a regular basis. The ostensible reason for the Post report is not that sensitive information was shared, but a much more nuanced and complicated question of what protocols, sources and methods might have been compromised by sharing some piece of information. "Nuanced and complicated questions" are the stuff of great conspiracy theories, and lots of MSM advertising revenue.
          It's not like Trump kept classified information exposing sources and methods on a private unsecured server in a bathroom closet, as was the case with liar-Hillary Clinton. Nor was it like Barack liar-nObama, who whispered in the ear of Dmitry Medvedev that after his re-election he could cut a deal with Vladimir Putin and sell out U.S. national security.
          The Leftmedia, of which the Washington Post is a flagship outlet, are propagating this story for two reasons. First, it sells. It's the life blood of tabloids — and WaPo has devolved into little more than that. Second, the Washington establishment is terrified of this administration's policy objectives, restoring Rule of Law and disenfranchising central government power — and the MSM is doing everything possible to disable and undermine those objectives. ~The Patriot Post

{conservativehq.com} ~ Today, President Trump is meeting with Turkey’s Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. You will hear a lot in the establishment media, and maybe even some from the White House, talk about what an important “ally” Turkey is to the United States... Don’t believe it. It is true that Turkey is part of NATO and was once part of our bulwark against the old communist Soviet Union, but those days are long past. Today, Turkey’s government is part of the Islamist assault on the West and President Erdogan is one of the Muslim world’s leading advocates of cultural jihad and hijra – Muslim invasion by immigration... http://www.conservativehq.com/node/25676

Arkansas Joins Ranks of States Standing Up to
Protect Constitutional Rights Against Foreign Law

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Thanks to the tenacity and persistence of two key legislators in the Arkansas state capitol, Arkansas has joined the growing ranks of states that have moved to protect their citizens and residents from foreign laws and foreign legal doctrines... including Shariah, in state courts. The U.S. Constitution especially under the Bill of Rights, the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution, has a unique set of rights that are truly unique around the world. Rights like Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Expression covered under the First Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms in the Second Amendment, Due Process, Equal Protection-all of these rights are uniquely American and are specified in our Constitution. Many foreign laws and foreign legal doctrines, including Sharia as just one example, as practiced around the world are in direct contravention of these rights. In fact, such rights do not exist in many foreign laws and foreign legal doctrines. When court cases arise in the United States involving foreign laws, there are inevitable conflicts with the U.S. Constitution... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/arkansas-joins-ranks-of-states-standing-up-to-protect-constitutional-rights-against-foreign-law?f=must_reads

Ted Cruz may be the only man who

{cnbc.com} ~ Senator Ted Cruz has spent much of his tenure in Washington angering Democrats, Republicans, and the Trump team to boot. It often seems like he may be the most hated man in American politics... But now, he just might be the most needed. This is all because the GOP liar-nObamacare replacement bill is on life support on arrival in the U.S. Senate. As it stands now, it's a lot like Cruz in that it's almost universally hated by everyone. Of course the bill is a non-starter for Democrats, but many Republicans are terrified by the fact that it basically keeps almost all of liar-nObamacare intact without maintaining even its currently insufficient sources of funding. And then comes the White House, which seems to only be interested in getting a replacement bill passed and then declaring victory no matter what's in the measure. So who can save this damaged bill that has almost no fervent supporters?...http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/11/ted-cruz-may-be-the-only-man-who-can-save-the-gop-health-bill-percent-u2014commentary.html

Comey Do-It-Yourself Fabricated
Evidence Against Trump

by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ There are two questions that immediately come to mind when learning of the “new evidence” from James Comey that President Trump supposedly attempted to influence him... the first being why would anyone believe a word this political hack and likely crook has to say and secondly, why would we trust an accounting of it in the New York Times to be anything other than a partisan, anti-Trump hit job? Of course the answer to both questions is “we shouldn’t.” The New York Times is the same trusted “news” source that was busted for fabricating stories about the President and some of the women in his life, such as Rowanne Brewer Lane, a year ago to the day. If anything they’ve gotten less credible since that time. They labeled a document written by Comey, supposedly his own notes of a February meeting with President Trump, as “evidence that the President has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and FBI investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.”...http://rickwells.us/comey-diy-fabricated-evidence-trump-nyt-dems-run/

Everything you want to know about Seth Rich story

{
wnd.com} ~Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, who was murdered nearly one year ago, was communicating with WikiLeaks before his death, according to the family’s private investigator.
 
Investigator Rod Wheeler, a former D.C. police homicide detective who was hired by a third party to investigate for the Rich family, told Fox 5 in Washington, D.C., Rich’s laptop had evidence indicating he had been in contact with the organization.
 
“Now, questions have been raised on why D.C. police, the lead agency on this murder investigation for the past ten months, have insisted this was a robbery gone bad when there appears to be no evidence to suggest that,” the news station reported Monday.
 
“The police department nor the FBI have been forthcoming,” said Wheeler. “They haven’t been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving his death lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police department or either at the FBI. I have been told both.”
 
A federal investigator who reviewed an FBI forensic report detailing the contents of Rich’s computer generated within 96 hours after his murder told Fox News that Rich made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time.
 
MacFadyen, an early mentor and defender of the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, died of lung cancer in October 2016.
 
The investigator, who requested anonymity, said 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between DNC leaders, spanning from January 2015 through late May 2016, were transferred from Rich to MacFadyen before May 21.
 
Fox 5 asked Wheeler if his sources have connected Rich to WikiLeaks, and he replied: “Absolutely. Yeah. That’s confirmed.”
 
Wheeler said he believes there’s a big cover-up that involves the FBI and the police department.
 
“My investigation shows someone within the D.C. government, Democratic National Committee or liar-Clinton team is blocking the murder investigation from going forward,” Wheeler told Fox News. “That is unfortunate. Seth Rich’s murder is unsolved as a result of that.”
 
Wheeler also told the station: “I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department. Again, I don’t think it comes from the chief’s office, but I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor’s office and the DNC and that is the information that will come out Tuesday.”
 
WND contacted Metropolitan Police Department and asked: “Can you confirm or deny your department has a laptop owned by murder victim Seth Rich that had evidence of contact with WikiLeaks on it, or that your department was ‘told to stand down on this case.'”
 
The police department sent WND a statement:
The Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Homicide Branch is actively investigating Mr. Rich’s murder and we continue to work with the family to bring closure to this case as we do with all homicide investigations. If there are any individuals who feel they have information, we urge them to call us at 202-727-9099 or text us at 50411. The department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information on this case that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.
A spokesman for Rich’s family on Tuesday said Wheeler was not authorized to speak for the family and denied the report that Rich had been in contact with WikiLeaks.
 
“As we’ve seen through the past year of unsubstantiated claims, we see no facts, we have seen no evidence, we have been approached with no emails and only learned about this when contacted by the press,” spokesman Brad Bauman said in an emailed statement. “Even if tomorrow, an email was found, it is not a high enough bar of evidence to prove any interactions as emails can be altered and we’ve seen that those interested in pushing conspiracies will stop at nothing to do so.”
 
The family’s statement continued:
 
“We are a family who is committed to facts, not fake evidence that surfaces every few months to fill the void and distract law enforcement and the general public from finding Seth’s murderers. The services of the private investigator who spoke to press was offered to the Rich family and paid for by a third party, and contractually was barred from speaking to press or anyone outside of law enforcement or the family unless explicitly authorized by the family.”
 
Bauman said the family condemned what they see as an attempt to politicize Rich’s death.
 
“It’s sad but unsurprising that a group of media outlets who have repeatedly lied to the American people would try and manipulate the legacy of a murder victim in order to forward their own political agenda,” Bauman told Business Insider. “I think there is a special place in hell for people like that.”
 
Bauman is a professional Democratic crisis public-relations consultant with the Pastorum Group in Washington, D.C.
 
“Progressive politics is my passion, it is more than just my life’s work,” said Bauman in a company press release announcing his hiring in 2016.
 
The slain man’s parents, Mary and Joel Rich of Omaha, Nebraska, said in an August 2016 interview with the Daily Mail that their son had been asked to join liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign four days before he was murdered.
 
“He had just found out they wanted him and he was probably going to be moving up to Brooklyn through the election. He was really excited about that,” said Joel Rich.
 
WND reported Rich was murdered near his affluent neighborhood in Washington, D.C., on July 10, 2016. He was shot in the back at 4:18 a.m. while he walked home.
 
Rich had been at Lou’s City Bar a couple of miles from his house until about 1:15 a.m.
 
An employee offered Rich a ride home because he appeared intoxicated and unsteady on his feet. Rich refused and said he was planning to walk over to Wonderland Ballroom, a popular late-night bar a few blocks away, reported the London Daily Mail.
 
However, no one at the Wonderland recalls seeing Rich there, and his whereabouts from the time he left Lou’s until the time he was shot remain a mystery.
 
Rich, who called several people as he later walked home, was talking on the phone with his girlfriend, Kelsey Murka, when he was accosted a block from his house.
 
“If it was a robbery it failed because he still has his watch, he still has his money, he still has his credit cards, still had his phone, so it was a wasted effort except we lost a life,” said Joel Rich, shortly after the murder.
 
Police have declined to say whether he was able to describe his assailants.
 
Rich previously worked on the failed U.S. Senate campaign of Nebraska businessman Scott Kleeb, whose clean-energy business had come under investigation after losing $300,000 in 2010 and another $300,000 in 2011 despite having been subsidized by the liar-Clinton Global Initiative.
 
Rich is on WND’s list of 33 people associated with the liar-Clintons who have died mysterious and often violent deaths.
 
On July 22, just 12 days after Rich was killed, WikiLeaks published internal DNC emails that appeared to show top party officials conspired to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont from becoming the party’s presidential nominee.
 
A commentary by Rachel Alexander at Townhall suggested possible corruption between the liar-Clinton Global Initiative and Kleeb “led to Sanders’ cronies pressuring Rich to leak what was going on.”
 
In an August 2016 interview on the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur, Assange appeared to suggest that Rich, 27, was the source of the WikiLeaks-exposed DNC emails.
 
“Our whistleblowers go to significant efforts to give us material, at often very significant risks,” Assange said. “There was a 27 year old, works for the DNC, who was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons other than that he was walking down the street in Washington.”
 
The interviewer interjected, “That was just a robbery, I believe, wasn’t it?”
 
Assange replied, “No, there’s no finding.”
 
The interviewer asked, “What are you suggesting?”
 
"I’m suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that,” Assange said.
 
“But was he one of your sources then?” asked the interviewer.
 
“We don’t comment on who our sources are,” Assange said. “We have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States. Our sources are, you know, our sources face serious risks. That’s why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity.”
 
Assange continued: “Others have suggested that Rich was murdered. We are investigating. If you understand what happened in that situation with Seth Rich, I think it is a concerning situation. There’s not a conclusion yet. We wouldn’t be willing to state a conclusion, but we are concerned about it. More importantly, a variety of WikiLeaks sources are concerned when that kind of thing happens.”
