As reported moments ago, CNN is leading with a story about a 35-page dossier compiled by a former member of British intelligence, which had been distilled into a 2-page appendix presented to Trump last Friday by the US intel community, and which contains “explosive, but unverified, allegations” that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for at least 5 years and “endorsed by Putin” gained compromising information about him, with the aim of “encouraging splits and divisions in the western alliance.”
The memo has allegedly been circulating among elected officials, intelligence agents, and journalists for weeks.
The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, “includes specific, unverified and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians” according to Buzzfeed.
Of course, the question on everyone’s lips is what are these “unverified and potentially unverifiable allegations” contained in the memo. We now know the answer, courtesy of Buzzfeed which fill published the full document “so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government.”

There are just a few problems with this revolutionary Rosetta stone that should, at least superficially, discredit the Trump presidency as a puppet of the Kremlin. As eve BuzzFeed observes, “the document is not just unconfirmed: It includes some clear errors. The report misspells the name of one company, “Alpha Group,” throughout. It is Alfa Group. The report says the settlement of Barvikha, outside Moscow, is “reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates.” It is not reserved for anyone, and is also populated by the very wealthy.”
Even more amusing is that the documents have circulated for months, and were available to the Clinton campaign should she have chosen to use them to discredit Trump yet for some “odd reason” she did not, and furthermore “acquired a kind of legendary status among journalists, lawmakers, and intelligence officials who have seen them.”
Mother Jones writer David Corn referred to the documents in a late October column. Harry Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson tweeted Tuesday that the outgoing Senate Democratic leader had seen the documents before writing a public letter to FBI director James Comey about Trump’s ties to Russia. And CNN reported Tuesday that Arizona Republican John McCain a gave “full copy” of the memos to FBI Director James Comey on December 9, but that the FBI already had copies of many of the memos.
So with all this information floating around “for months”, and duly noted by everyone in US government, from intelligence to the FBI, and certainly peopple in the unsuccessful Clinton campaign, it only emerges now, ten days before the Trump inauguration?
Coincidence? Readers can decide on their own.
For those pressed for time, here is the best – as in most laughable – part, discussing “Trump’s personal obsessions and sexual perversions”, in which we learn that when staying at the Ritz Carlton Moscow hotel, in order to defile a bed in which Obama had stayed in previously, he employed “a number of prostitutes to perform “golden showers” show in front of him.” Good stuff.
The full memo, courtesy of BuzzFeed, is below (link).
The Left is unleashing the hounds of hell on Trump.
That is not a “report” but more like a Bart Simpson’s homework. Mr Trump should sue them!
Anyways – Trump won. Clinton lost. Deal with it, Democrats!
Yes, they have been compromising Trump for 5 years.
They threatened him. You have been watching porno on our internet when you visited our hotels.
You either run for president. And damn you better do multiple rallies in several states on the same day. Every day in order to win th election or we will expose you. And as a consequence NBC will cancel reruns of your show the Apprentice. Especially, if the porno was hetro.
Ok. Now I’m convinced.
If the FSB really had the room bugged with cameras, then they would have video of the first gay couple bath house Barry and his tranny “wife” Michael
True, that…
If it’s People Magazine or the “rooskies”, does it really matter where TRUTH comes from?
You’re certainly not going to get it from the government propaganda organ, the MSM.
Yeah, not a chance, I could have faked it better.
Truly despicable any news organization would publish unverifiable trash like this. I can only hope a Hulk Hogan-like lawsuit sends them to their demise.
I’m going to assume that Putin did attempt to defeat Hillary the Horrible through whatever means were available. Why the fuck not? Hillary compared Putin to Hitler. How stupid and arrogant is that cunt that she wouldn’t expect the leader of the country that lost 30 million people fighting Hitler to be offended by any such rhetoric?
Not sure why Llpoh gives a rats ass about the news organizations. We KNOW they are worthless trash.
Look at all the USA!USA!USA govfuks with their hands in this; Shitstain McCain, Cuntham, FBI director, etc etc.
At this point I would support — even applaud — if Trump did a Stalin-esque type “purge” on his first day in office. Bury your enemies, Donald. BURY them!!!
This is just setting the stage for what we can expect from the left for the next eight years. Every time Trump does something the communist subversives (unconvincingly masquerading as either Democrats or Neocon ‘Republicans’) don’t like, they are going to call Trump a Russian puppet.
This is just the first load of poorly composted bullshit they plan on dumping onto Trump. Their ‘plan’ is to spew forth an unending stream of baseless garbage like this, hoping desperately that the American public is gullible enough to fall for it, in a third rate attempt to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.
If they weren’t so hopelessly incompetent, it might have had a prayer of success.
I have no idea what Trump has planned for January 21, but I will be very surprised if there are not a massive number of newly unemployed government ‘intelligence professionals’ that day.
He had me at golden shower. Now I hope Trump does a golden shower on Jake Tapper’s face.
It’s a 4chan hoax! Story on Zerohedge
4Chan Claims To Have Fabricated Anti-Trump Report As A Hoax
by Tyler Durden
Jan 11, 2017 5:51 AM
In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous “golden showers” scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as “fanfiction”, then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election.
Here is 4Chan’s explanation of how the story came to light:
>/pol/acks mailed fanfiction to anti-trump pundit Rick Wilson about trump making people piss on a bed obama slept in
>he thought it was real and gave it to the CIA
>the central intelligence agency of the united states of america put this in their official classified intelligence report on russian involvement in the election
>donald trump and obama have both read this pol/acks fanfiction
>the cia has concluded that the russian plans to blackmail trump with this story we made up
just let that sink in what we have become.
And a summary posted on pastebin:
On january 10, Buzzfeed posted a story under the byline of Ken Bensinger, Mark Schoofs and Miriam elder titled “these reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia” and posted a link to a document alleging, among other things, that russia has been cultivating trump for 5+ years, that trump has been in constant contact with the kremlin for information on his opponents, and perhaps most inflammatory, that there are many recorded instances of blackmail of trump in sexual misconduct. A prominent claim is that trump rented the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in moscow, where he knew that the Obamas had slept in; he them hired a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden shower’ (pissplay) on the bed and in the room. https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-dee…
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984/Trump-Intelligence-Al…
Noted #nevertrump voice Rick Wilson later commented on twitter, stating that the report “gave a new meaning to Wikileaks” (
and that the report was the reason everybody was fighting so hard against the election of Trump. (
The remarkable thing? It’s all fake. And not only fake; it’s a prank perpetuated by 4chan, on Rick Wilson himself. A post on 4chan on october 26 stated “mfw managed to convince CTR and certain (((journalists))) on Twitter there’ll be an October surprise on Trump this Friday” along with a picture of a smug face with a hash name. http://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/94704894/#94705224
on november 1, a person without a picture but is assumed to be the same person posted “So they took what I told Rick Wilson and added a Russian spy angle to it. They still believe it. Guys, they’re truly fucking desperate – there’s no remaining Trump scandal that’s credible.” https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/95568919/#95571329
on january 10, moments after the story broke and began to gain traction on social media, a person with the same smug grin face, and the same hash title for the picture, stated “I didn’t think they’d take it so far.” http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/106514445#p106520376
This story has taken on something of a life of it’s own. Going through Rick Wilson’s twitter, you can find many different stories from the time that he had shown the story to a wide number of anti-trump news sources, trying to find a news organization that would actually publish the story. During that time period, he referred to it often as ‘the thing’, and often playing coy with followers on the content with the story with anybody who was not also a #Nevertrumper. Unconfirmed sources has people as high up as John McCain giving the story to FBI Director James Comey to attempt to verify the story. Given that Rick Wilson runs in Establishment circles, it is not an impossible scenario that long-serving senators are falling for what amounts to a 4chan troll trump supporter creating an ironic October Surprise out of wholecloth to punk a GOPe pundit who derogatorily referred to them as single men who masturbate to anime.
While this entire incident is laughable, and even more so if the 4Chan account is accurate, what makes it quite tragic, is that it is no longer possible to dismiss the “fake news” angle to an intelligence report. And if the CIA is compromised, what is left for “news outlets” like CNN and BuzzFeed, which were all too eager to run with the story without any attempt at verification?
As I have said before, before this is over we will have to have firing squads working around the clock. The Progressives, the Neo-Con’s and all the rest of the human garbage floating in the sewer the USA has become will have to be dealt with, and dealt with without pity or mercy.
Kremlin Denies It Has “Compromising” Dossier On Trump, Calls Intel Report “Complete Fabrication”
by Tyler Durden
Jan 11, 2017 7:02 AM
Responding to the latest report accusing Trump of being a Russian pawn (which may at least partially have been the spawn of a 4Chan hoax), the Kremlin said on Wednesday it was “total nonsense” that Russian officials had assembled a file of compromising information on Donald Trump. Speaking to reporters on a conference call today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the dossier containing the claims was a hoax which had been dreamt up to further harm U.S.-Russia relations, which are already at their lowest level since the Cold War.
Peskov told reporters that Russia had no “kompromat” – a term for ‘compromising material’ – on Trump, as claimed in an unsourced report widely shared among the highest levels of US government, and which had been distributed months ago, and also available to the Clinton campaign.
“The information is not true and is nothing other than a total fabrication,” Peskov said, according to Interfax. “It’s a complete fake, it’s a complete fabrication, it’s total nonsense.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov
“It is an attempt to damage our bilateral relations. It is pulp fiction,” said Peskov, who according to Reuters also roundly dismissed as false assertions in the dossier that he himself was heavily involved in running a Russian campaign to undermine defeated presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “You have to react to this with a certain humor, but there’s also a sad side to this. Hysteria is being whipped up to maintain a political witch hunt.”
Peskov added that the Kremlin does not engage in compiling compromising dossiers on anyone and was focused on building relations with Russia’s foreign partners instead. Putin’s spokesman also said the Kremlin also did not have a dossier on Hillary Clinton.
“The Kremlin does not collect kompromat. The Kremlin and the president of [Russia] establish relations with our foreign partners: first of all, in the interests of the Russian Federation and the Russian people, and secondly, in the interests of global peace, stability, and security,” he said.
“It’s an obvious attempt to harm our bilateral relations,” he added. “Fabricating these ‘fakes’ and the quality of the declassified part of the previous report [on alleged Russian meddling in the US election] and this ‘fake’ – when put together, they’re pulp fiction. Of course, you also need to react to this with a certain amount of humor, although there’s a sad side to it.”
Russia’s response conforms with Trump’s angry outburst on Twitter last night, when in a tweet on Tuesday evening, the president-elect likewise dismissed the reports that Russia had compromising information on him. “FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!” he wrote on Twitter.
Peskov echoed Trump’s response. “There are definitely people who incite this hysteria, who go out of their way to support this witch hunt. That’s how president-elect Trump defined this latest fake – as the continuation of a witch hunt.”
On a separate matter, asked to respond to the prospect of new U.S. sanctions affecting Russia’s oil and gas sector, Peskov said such measures, if they happened, would damage Russia, bilateral ties, and the global economy. The Russian energy sector would definitely get compensation if such sanctions were imposed, he added.
Peskov also said Putin was unfazed by reports that Trump’s pick for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, would say at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday that Russia posed a danger, which previously was praised Tillerson, who has experience of working with top Russian officials in the oil sector. Peskov said the Kremlin stood by its assessment of Tillerson as someone who was willing to listen and was constructive, but was aware he was likely to be a tough operator too.
“We understand that Tillerson will continue to be quite tough in pursuing his line,” said Peskov, saying the Kremlin was not wearing rose-tinted glasses when it came to the former U.S. oilman.
But when I called the FBI about 1990 and told a Black female agent that they need to watch Wake up America by Dumitru Duduman because he says God told him terrorist will back-pack (nuclear) weapons across our southern border and attack out nuclear plants; she went off on me like a certified Useless Idiot demanding I tell her when, where, and who or STFU. The whole liberal affirmative action house of morans (MSM, CIA, FBI, IRS, EPA, DOJ, RNC, RINOs, etc) is finally being exposed in the Counter Revolution. The great POTUS ass clown, his designated replacement, and all his stupid arrogant minions ultimately went way to far to fast; they finally lost the Hearts and Minds of most American Patriots.
NYT Suggests CNN, BuzzFeed Peddled “Fake News”
by Tyler Durden
Jan 11, 2017 8:49 AM
In a fascinating retort by the NYT to the story of the day, namely the CNN-BuzzFeed narrative based on an unverified 35-page memo allegedly prepared by a UK intelligence officer, even the paper of record takes the two media outlets to town, and in an article titled “BuzzFeed Posts Unverified Claims on Trump, Stirring Debate” essentially accuses them of doing what CNN has accused so much of the ‘alternative media’ in doing when distributing “fake news.”
Here are the key excerpts:
The reports by CNN and Buzzfeed sent other news organizations, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, scrambling to publish their own articles, some of which included generalized descriptions of the unverified allegations about Mr. Trump. By late Tuesday, though, only BuzzFeed had published the full document.
BuzzFeed’s decision, besides its immediate political ramifications for a president-elect who is to be inaugurated in 10 days, was sure to accelerate a roiling debate about the role and credibility of the traditional media in today’s frenetic, polarized information age.
And the punchline, where the NYT essentially accuses both CNN and BuzzFeed of stooping to the level of “fake news” disseminators:
Of particular interest was the use of unsubstantiated information from anonymous sources, a practice that fueled some of the so-called fake news — false rumors passed off as legitimate journalism — that proliferated during the presidential election.
It then continues its scathing critique of what now passes as “journalism”
CNN said that its journalists had reviewed the full 35-page compilation of memos, the same document later published in full by BuzzFeed, but declined to include some details, saying that the network “has not independently corroborated the specific allegations.” CNN said its reporters spoke with multiple high-ranking intelligence and government officials before publishing its report.
Meanwhile, the NYT held off for one simple reason: “In a brief interview in the Times newsroom on Tuesday evening, Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The Times, said the paper would not publish the document because the allegations were “totally unsubstantiated.” “We, like others, investigated the allegations and haven’t corroborated them, and we felt we’re not in the business of publishing things we can’t stand by,” Mr. Baquet said.
But BuzzFeed could.
It wasn’t just the NYT who lashed out at the “report” – on social media, some left-leaning writers who generally oppose Mr. Trump expressed skepticism about the document published by BuzzFeed. “An anonymous person, claiming to be an ex-British intel agent & working as a Dem oppo researcher, said anonymous people told him things,” wrote Glenn Greenwald.
Immediately after BuzzFeed’s publication, some reporters volunteered that they, too, had received copies of the report. “Raise your hand if you too were approached with this story,” Julia Ioffe, a journalist who has written extensively on Russia, wrote on Twitter, adding that she had not reported on the information in the document “because it was impossible to verify.”
Writers at the blog Lawfare, which covers national security issues, said they had been in possession of the document “for a couple of weeks” but opted not to publish because the allegations were unproven.
“Yes, they are explosive; they are also entirely unsubstantiated, at least to our knowledge, at this stage,” the site wrote on Tuesday night. “For this reason, even now, we are not going to discuss the specific allegations within the document.”
To be sure, BuzzFeed’s move was welcomed by some people, who expressed concern that news outlets and government officials with access to the allegations had not disclosed them sooner. Almost immediately, the report’s publication prompted questions from Hillary Clinton’s camp about why the claims had not surfaced earlier. “Today has brought a gush of reporting that outlets knew about and sat on prior to November 8,” Brian Fallon, Mrs. Clinton’s chief campaign spokesman, wrote on Twitter. He added, in a second message: “I repeat: certain media outlets were told this prior to November 8.”
Ultimately, the reaction to the report simply confirmed just how polarized US society has become, and that when it comes to information, virtually anything can now pass as “fake news” if not factually checked and corroborated by evidence, which incidentally in the entire “Russia hacking” means everything.
Finally, we would find it supremely delightful if, indeed, it was 4Chan who hoaxed not only CNN and BuzzFeed but the US intelligence agencies, into posting the “golden showers” scene. If so, then faith in conventional US media (and US intelligence) will fully disintegrate.
In the end, vipers eat their own.
It is still up on Jake Tapper’s feed on twitter. So I tweeted.

FWIW and IMO:
The “Birthers” presented more evidence for their claims than the CIA and FBI combined has for this crap.
Hahaha! Where’s your proof, duffus. “Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.”–Carl Sagan.
Shows how desperate the Neo-cons have become. Hey! Maybe we won’t have world war after all. That’s good isn’t it? Sorry, McCain, Lindsey and all you Neo-cons, life’s a bitch.

What does Russian report say about First lady Big Mike’s ?
How on earth did they take this seriously? It was obviously a fucking joke, amazing lefties cant get that because they have no humour.
