The Ruling Establishment Does Not Intend For Trump To Become President.
The latest “explosive” fake news is that “multiple US officials with direct knowledge” told CNN that they have “classified documents” that Russia has compromising documents on Trump that would allow them to blackmail the US President. The documents consist of memos compiled by a former British intelligence operative “whose past work US intelligence officials consider credible.”
According to antiwar.com “the dossier claimed several figures in the Trump campaign were in league with the Russian government during the campaign, and that Russia had been conspiring with them to groom Trump as an ally for ‘at least five years.’ It also claims exchanges of information between Trump and the Kremlin for ‘at least eight years,’ . . . The dossier names former Trump adviser Carter Page, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, as well as incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn as having personally and repeatedly met with Kremlin officials on anti-Clinton leaks.”

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is the former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. If such a high level US intelligence official is repeatedly meeting with Kremlim officials and the CIA has to learn about it from memos written by an unidentified former British intelligent agent, the CIA is totally incompetent.
The dossier claims that in Russian hands are videos of “wild sex parties” staged by Trump on his numerous trips to Moscow. And it gets wilder.
The New York Times also ran with the story but did state that there was at the present time no confirmation for the story.
Consider these three questions:
How would a former British intelligence operative get such extraordinary documents from Russian intelligence?
If he had such documents, why would he hand them over instead of selling them to Trump for a major fortune?
Why would such a crazy story be on CNN and in the New York Times unless the ruling establishment intends to use it to block Trump from the presidency?
What this elevation in wild charges tells me is that the CIA’s effort to sell Trump on the Russian hacking did not succeed, and the CIA has escalated its attack on the president-elect.

BS
Yep, the fake CIA report has been blown to kingdom come, done been trolled, LOL!
PCR got caught up in epic troll. 4Channel rocks.
Un-fucken-believable.
Thanks flash! You made my day.
I wonder if CNN will print a retraction on their fake news. NYTimes as well! They have lost all credibility and seem to not care. I wonder if they would have been as eager to run with story if the 4chan troll was about Obamma instead. Not likely is my guess.
They won’t.
They won’t even admit it was actually fake.
It’s not their style.
Being a “journalist”means you never have to say you’re sorry.
The latest revelations are just fuel for the bonfire. It would seem that reason and facts should De escalate the situation, but reason and facts went out the window years ago. The pro USA (I won’t say pro Trump anymore, as he is the president elect and to oppose him now is to oppose the nation) forces can see through the hype and do not want a war with Russia, at least on scant evidence, but the anti Trump/anti USA forces will resort to anything to bring him down. In their mind, If the nation suffers at their rabid hatred, so be it. The shame is we were so close to seeing if the president, at admittedly great odds, could have pulled off making America great again. It is the one regret I will have as we launch into the new era.
I didnt vote FOR trump, I voted NOT hillary. Russian smussian. Wifes half russian. And half peurto rican. Guess which is the bitchy side. I mean the whole side of the family, and her.
At this point I don’t care. It won’t be any worse than the last eight years. If Hildabeast would have got elected we were sold out a long time ago. I would trust Russia before I would trust either Obammy or her.
You know the story is bullshit for one simple reason – video of Trump having a wild party in Russia with hot women doing (un)savory things wouldn’t actually damage his reputation.
Hey, if this sticks its a massive win for the establishment:
1. No President Trump
2. Further piss off fly-over America
3. War with Russia
How awesome is that?
Trump not taking office -> Civil war.
Slow at first, then intense as it develops.
Maybe Untended Consequences style rather than blue vs gray style, but a very unpleasant development nonetheless.
“Maybe Untended Consequences style rather than blue vs gray style”
You know that “blue vs gray style” took some time to develop, right? Hardly any civil wars start instantly. The American Revolution didn’t start instantly either.
It’s entirely possible that future historians will assign some date in 2015, or even much earlier, to the start of the 2nd American Civil War.
This sounds strangely like what would occur should Trump take office as well.
Civil War II is most likely inevitable. I stand by my earlier statement the 2016 vote was never a choice between becoming “Great” again and well, Cankles…but was really a choice between WWIII and CWII.
The correct choice was made, but as Winston Wolf would say: “Let’s not start sucking each others dicks quite yet.”
I don’t know if I agree with that, but I’m not going to discount the possibility either.
I don’t underestimate the Left when it doesn’t get its way through legitimate means.
They’ve done this in other countries, maybe they’ll try it here too. A devastating thing if they do, and I image a losing one for all parties involved.
It’s a prediction…so it is not a certainty. I’m taking the best of the information I have today and applying it to the unknown tomorrow. I hope to hell I’m wrong.
I don’t subscribe to the whole Left/Right thing no matter how you slice it. At the end of the day both sides are to blame, and more the fact that there ARE sides. This is a cultural sickness from which we suffer, born from prosperity, fed by ever increasing decadence and can and will only be cured by great suffering.
We’re in the last staged of the Tytler circle:
Bondage
Spiritual Faith
Courage
Liberty
Abundance
Selfishness
Complacency
Apathy
Dependence
Then starting over with Bondage
The unique player here is technology/globalization….both totally unprecedented in all past cycles.
It’s fake news, dude.
Twitter is awesome cause Jake Tapper is getting ripped a new one right fucken’ now. He deserves it too.

Look how serious he was presenting an 11 minute report about a troll on 4chan spread as fake news!

I can’t entirely balme him seeing as he has to have some trust in researchers to verify. But he has now zero credibility with me as a journalist. If I were him I would quit live on air. Refuse to carry on this which hunt. But instead he wants to double down on stoopid and conflate away. Too funnay
But not as funny as some of the tweets headed his way.

Now CNN is doubling down on stupid and blaming Mother Jones and Buzz Feed. In a backhanded way.
McCain Admits He Gave Dossier Containing “Sensitive Information” On Trump To The FBI
by Tyler Durden
Jan 11, 2017 10:25 AM
While hardly surprising considering the copious amounts of bad blood between the President elect and John McCain, earlier today the Arizona senator confirmed that he passed along the 35-page report to the FBI that details unverified allegations that President-elect Trump’s team coordinated with the Russian government to defeat Hillary Clinton.
In a statement released Wednesday, McCain said passing the report along was the extent of his involvement in the process.
“Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public,” McCain said. “Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.”
As The Washington Examiner notes, reports surfaced Tuesday night that a foreign contact of McCain’s passed along the report detailing alleged compromising information the Russian government has on Trump. That report was published in full by Buzzfeed Tuesday evening, despite being unverified information.
As the Mail adds, Carl Bernstein, the Watergate reporter who contributed to the first story about its existence, suggested that McCain was handed it by a former British ambassador to Moscow.
Bernstein told CNN: ‘It came from a former British MI6 agent who was hired from a political opposition research firm in Washington who was doing work about Donald Trump for both republican and democratic candidates opposed to Trump.
‘They were looking at Trumps business ties, they saw some questionable things about Russians, about his businesses in Russia, they in turn hired this MI6 former investigator, he then came up with additional information from his Russian sources, he was very concerned by the implications of it, he then took it to an FBI colleague that he had known in his undercover work for years, he took it to this FBI man in Rome who turned it over to the bureau in Washington in August.
‘And then, a former British ambassador to Russia independently was made aware of these findings and he took the information to John McCain – Senator John McCain of Arizona – in the period just after the election, and showed it to McCain – additional findings.
‘McCain was sufficiently disturbed by what he read to take it to FBI director James Comey himself personally, they had a five minute meeting the two men, very little was said, McCain turned it over to him and is now awaiting what the FBI’s response is to that information.’
The identity of the former British ambassador has not been disclosed, however, only one former British ambassador to Washington remains in UK government service, Sir Tim Barrow, who went on to be Foreign Office political director and is now Britain’s ambassador to the European Union. The Arizona senator said at the time: ‘”Donald Trump’s behavior… concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy.’
* * *
McCain’s statement comes on the heels of reports that President Barack Obama, Trump and congressional leaders were briefed on the allegations made in the dossier. The two-page summary is based on a collection memos created by political opponents of Trump during his presidential campaign, alleging that the Russians had compromising information on Trump. The memos were purportedly compiled by a former British intelligence official.
The Trump camp pushed back hard against the report Wednesday, calling it “offensive crap” and Trump himself went on Twitter to deny any coordination with the Russian government
Why publish anything this guy writes – he spews shit.
Hey who’s job was it to go get PCR off the roof. You know it gets cold at night and he shouldn’t be out there. And now he’s been off his meds for several days. Somebody has to go over and check on him to see if he is still alive. It could just be his laptop writing these articles.
I saw PCR dumpster diving, and living in a cardboard box. He writes this shit at the public library – where the other homeless live.
9 more days, how much more crap will be flung against the wall to see if it sticks? Washington DC is about to get initiated into chaotic urban warfare, led by the progressive rotundity himself, Michael Moore. The massive pushback will commence with snowflakes soiling themselves before retreating to safe spaces. What has to happen, will happen!!!!!

As I understand US/British relations,it is traditional for the British Prime Minister to fly over & meet w/the new American President shortly after his inauguration.
Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall when they are meeting?
If the post here is correct about the former British ambassador & MI6 agent being involved,Trump will have some choice words 4 him or her?
Unless they were acting unofficially for the British govt.,they will persona non grata in England.
If they were acting on behalf of the British govt.,Trump needs to figure a way to punish them.
The Brit establishment -government as well as private- has been opposing Trump from the start and still are.
One example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/01/05/donald-trump-british-parliament-muslim-ban/78309196/
Well Obama tried to get/scare the British people to go with the establishment and stay in the EU with the back of the line comment. So the establishment there is in the left’s camp. You would think that anyone with commen sense would do the opposite of what the leftist establishment tells them.
This stupid shit gives me a headache.
So where do the CIA and the rest of the anti Trump maggots go from here? What other stupid shit will they fling at him next? What other outlandish accusations will they dream up next? Give it up, you don’t have anything, never did, outside of the silly Billy Bush recording and a bunch of woman you paid to corroborate the narrative , if you did you would have played it by now.
Because you don’t have anything you have resorted to just making shit up. Pathetic. Unbelievable. Disgraceful. Instead of just admitting defeat we know you are going to continue to double down. Bring it meatheads, it just doesn’t matter any more.
The painfully obvious inside job that was 9-11 means ANYTHING is possible.
PCR sucks DDD. Posting his shit is a waste of time. That just one man’s opinion.
Stucky, I’m reminded of your joke, the punchline was – tastes like chicken. Many folks focused on the setup and totally missed – could not appreciate the actual funny punchline.
Folks are doing the same here, finding a way to deny the possibility of a preemptive coup and totally missing Paul’s warning that the opposition is desperate enough to resort to publicizing bullshit and might even have more petards in the arsenal.
The folks who talk about a civil war are discounting the fact it has already started. If you’ve ever watched women fight, it all sounds polite as they tear each other apart.
The nastiness is there, one side is accused of child molesting and even murder. Now the other side is accused of sexcapades while consorting with the enemy. Sounds like one-upsmanship; murder accusations are countered with insinuations the Tweeter in Chief may be a traitor.
This is civil war; it is civil for the moment. Wait til after the inauguration and the fireworks begin.
Those assholes who say they can hardly wait, should go suck an uncircumcised, unwashed big dick. They don’t know what they are asking for.
EC
Agreed! Could be that we are seeing the rockets red glare at Fort McHenry. A pathetic opening shot for sure but a shot none the less.

Can’t help but be reminded of the McLuhan.
The Medium is the message.
Looks like PCR got duped by the hoax but the premise of what he is saying still holds true. All I see is desperation. A Hail Mary pass. The crony establishment and media reeks of it. That is the message and takeaway from yesterday. But those wanting and hoping for civil war need to reassess. Two people holding lit match in the same house, more often than not, will succeed in burning it to the ground.

And then what?
I’m so sick of fake news and fake intel reports I could spit.
