Making Russia an enemy state coordinated by the U.S. and NATO because ...
WE CAN‼️
I honestly never put credence into the sloppy Steele dossier ... a MI6 operation to smear Vladimir Putin ahead of Election 2016.
The "progressive" community @BooMan attacked me ferociously from that saga until I left w great disappointment in 2018. I had enough of the Gestapo acts of ganging up on my diaries and comments by downrating all my comments.
Soros' alleged ties to Russiagate exposed in declassified annex of Durham report |
CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi coordinated in the declassification of the annex Grassley made public
"The media analysis on the DNC hacking appears solid .... Julie (Clinton Campaign Advisor) says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce," Benardo allegedly wrote, per the appendix. "Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire."
Another email reportedly from Benardo states: "HRC (Hillary Rodham Clinton) approved Julie's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections."
"This should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level," Benardo continued, per the annex. "The point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue. Say something like a critical infrastructure threat for the election to feel manic since both POTUS and VPOTUS have acknowledge the fact IC would speed up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable."
Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation, was opened just several days later, on July 31, 2016.
The appendix reveals that Durham's team interviewed numerous FBI personnel involved in the Crossfire Hurricane probe. Durham said those he interviewed believed the Benardo emails to be "likely authentic."

Communications the Durham team reviewed additionally supported that the Clinton campaign allegedly had been engaged in a plan to tie Trump to Russia, and that the campaign wanted or expected the office of the vice president, the FBI or other parts of the intelligence community, such as the State.
Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), to aid that effort.
"The Office's best assessment is that the ... emails that purport to be from Benardo were ultimately a composite of several emails that were obtained through Russian intelligence hacking of the U.S.-based Think Tanks, including the Open Society Foundations, the Carnegie Endowment, and others," the Durham annex states.

Records obtained by U.S. intelligence officials indicate the FBI would play a role in putting "more oil into the fire" of the Russia collusion hoax ahead of the 2016 presidential election, according to newly declassified documents released Thursday.
The apparent revelation was included in a previously classified appendix that was part of John Durham's 2023 Special Counsel report on the origins of the fabricated scheme attempting to advance the falsehood that Donald Trump colluded with Moscow to steal the 2016 contest.
Docs: Soros Executive Predicted FBI Would `Put More Oil Into The Fire' of Putin-Trump Link
According to the appendix, "Beginning in or about 2014, and continuing through at least in or about 2016, individuals affiliated with Russian intelligence services hacked and gained unlawful access to emails of numerous U.S. public and private entities -- including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and think tanks based in the United States." The declassified records note that one of the nonprofits "hacked by Russian government actors in 2016" was leftist billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations.
Per the appendix, a source reportedly familiar with the contents of the hacked materials (U.S.-based emails and communications) told U.S. officials that among the records were alleged emails issued by Leonard Benardo, who served as Open Society Foundations' regional director for Eurasia. In one of the purported emails, dated July 25, 2016, Benardo allegedly indicated that the FBI would help contribute to the Hillary Clinton campaign's reported "plan" to tie Trump to Russia.
"The media analysis on the DNC hacking appears solid. ... Julie [Hillary Clinton campaign adviser] says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce," Bernardo allegedly wrote, according to the appendix. "Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire."
The appendix includes a second email allegedly sent by Benardo two days later on July 27, in which he purportedly wrote, "HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] approved Julie's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level."

Open Society senior vice president Leonard Benardo was also allegedly involved in the coordination with Clinton campaign staffer Julianne Smith, according to a series of emails in late July 2016 that were discovered, according to a review of the documents by our reporters.
“Julie (sic) says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump,” Benardo wrote on July 25. “Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”

Why a Clinton Foundation/Crossfire Hurricane Comparison Might Backfire | Emptywheel- 24 Sept. 2023 |
She too believed in her government [disinformation and propaganda]
On Russian “intelligence” a key role played by Dutch PM Mark Rutte as intelligence was shared with the NSA and the CIA-FBI from December 2014 forward on the Cozy Bear hacking group in Moscow. Dutch hackers had infiltrated the group and monitored its activities in real time.
Rutte was a staunch Tory backer, conservative and close ally of the likes of Boris Johnson and VDL.
Lying Liars …
The so-called Alpha computers were located inside the Netherlands, the intelligence hub of Amsterdam … I had written about the close relationship in intelligence as partner with the “Nine Eyes” and the Israeli Mossad.

One cannot untie “Nine Eyes” … thus shit will happen in the future.

Steele Dossier: FBI Biased and Lack of Honor – Shocking | by Oui @BooMan on 17 Jan. 2019 |
I have been blogging since the fall of 2004 to express my views in favor of John Kerry and as much against the tyranny of George Bush and his Republican henchmen. @BooMan I considered myself an independent researcher and analyst of politics. In the approach to the Nov. 2016 election, the cross-section of bloggers changed and Democrats were divided in tribes: for or against candidate Hillary Clinton in the primaries. From that time troll rating became a new norm which made writing your view a new adventure.
As soon as the Steele dossier was introduced in the media and discussed on the blog, division hardened. My analysis was plenty of skepticism from the start, especially as I started to look at where the dossier was coming from. My view on the matter was not appreciated. Two years have passed and still not all details have come out.
Reading this article published by The Hill, I agree with the headline: SHOCKING!
This item will be making all the headlines in the coming hours.

Soros and His CIA Friends Targeted USSR/Russia in 1987
Declassified Central Intelligence Agency documents clearly describe how international hedge fund mogul George Soros targeted the Soviet government of Mikhail Gorbachev as early as 1987. Soros, who was already quite wealthy, worked closely with a CIA-linked non-governmental organization (NGO), the Institute for East-West Security Studies (IEWSS), to take advantage of Gorbachev’s policies of «perestroika» and «glasnost» to infiltrate the Soviet economic and political systems to hasten their demise.
At the same time, the IEWSS included as board members Eastern European Communist government officials who were, by virtue of their positions in the IEWSS, aiding and abetting the Soros operations to destabilize the Soviet Union [and economy].
