thelibertydaily--2020-12-23--Report: President Trump Infuriated by Pence ‘Not Fighting Hard Enough’ for Election Integrity

President Trump is apparently infuriated by Mike Pence , who the President thinks is `` not fighting hard enough '' @

President Trump is apparently infuriated by Mike Pence, who the President thinks is “not fighting hard enough” for him and election integrity.
In a report from Axios, White House sources reveal that President Trump is notably angry with many of his supposed “allies” who are not fighting the good fight to defend election integrity, most notably Vice President Pence.
The President allegedly brought up an ad from the Never Trump group, the Lincoln Project, which claims that Pence is “backing away” from him. According to the sources, Trump believes Pence is “not fighting hard enough” – in the Vice President’s case, he has not made any public comments on election integrity since the election.
Pence has been focused on anything but the election, including spending time campaigning down in Georgia, focusing on the pro-life policies of the administration, and working on the production of the coronavirus vaccine as the head of the coronavirus task force.
The Vice President has also planned a trip to Israel, Bahrain, and Poland, with a departure date set for January 6th, the same day that he is meant to chair a joint session of Congress and tabulate and verify the Electoral College votes. One Pence ally told Politico that the timing of the trip is “anything but coincidental.”
If nothing was done on election integrity, Pence would be the one to certify Biden as the 46th President of the United States. This role that Pence will take in the certification of the Electoral College votes has apparently “begun to loom large” in the President’s mind. “Trump would view Pence… validating the election result as the ultimate betrayal,” Axios noted.
However, while the Vice President could be the one to put the final nail in Trump’s coffin, he may also hold the key to his survival, a draft White House memo obtained by National File argues. In the memo, Trump allies reveal that Pence not only has the power to reject Electoral College votes from states that violated the Constitution, but is “duty bound” to do so.
As National File reported:

WASHINGTON - These days , many Christians , especially college-age students , face having their faith in God and the Bible questioned if not downright assaulted .
Dr. Jonathan Morrow teaches Christian students how to defend their faith at the Impact 360 Institute in Pine Mountain , Georgia .

Josh McDowell wrote one of the most authoritative defenses of the Bible with Evidence That Demands a Verdict and its sequel The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict .
He pointed to how even respected `` non-believers '' wrote about Jesus .
`` There are 16 total historians apart from Scripture that reference Christ , '' he said .
`` Almost everything about Christ we can find without ever going to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about this in his newest books God-Breathed and 77 FAQs About God and the Bible .
Morrow points out in his book Questioning the Bible there 's more evidence that Jesus lived than Julius Caesar , yet no one doubts Caesar existed .
`` When you 're doing history , you want early and you want eyewitnesses .
And the gospel writers give you both , '' Morrow explained .
`` They investigated everything carefully .

Morrow pointed out respected biblical writers Paul and Luke interviewed the apostles and knew many others who witnessed Jesus ' life , death , and resurrection .
And the writers ' Peter , John , and James actually lived with Jesus .
`` John said , 'What our eyes have seen , what our ears have heard , what our hands have handled is what we 're declaring to you , ' '' McDowell said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ eyewitnesses . '
'' More Accurate than Any Other Document '' The closer the manuscript to the original , the less chance of error or miscopy , '' he said .
Current surviving Bible manuscripts get closer to the original work than any other manuscripts from the ancient world .
`` We 've got manuscripts and fragments that show up within 35 or 40 years of the time when they were written , '' Morrow said of these biblical survivors .
`` Why does that matter ?
It means there 's not enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the message of what 's going on there , '' he said .
But doubters scoff at those while readily accepting manuscripts of Greek and Roman histories that were created hundreds of years after the originals .
`` When you look at Greek and Roman historians like Herodotus and Tacitus and Livy , those ( oldest surviving manuscripts ) are hundreds of years later - 500 , 600 , 700 years after the fact , '' Morrow said .
McDowell pointed out a second rule among scholars of ancient works .
`` The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is to reconstruct the original , '' he said .
When it comes to the Bible , the surviving ancient copies or pieces of it way outnumber all other ancient works .
McDowell said there are `` 66,420 some manuscripts and scrolls '' for the Bible .
Second place goes to Homer 's The Illiad , with just 1,827 .
Most ancient works have far few intact remnants .
`` We do trust Homer .
How much more should we trust the New Testament documents ? ''
Morrow asked .
With so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scribes across the centuries , it 's no surprise there 'd be occasional errors .
But critics claim there are some 400,000 mistakes or `` variants '' in the Bible .
`` Ninety-nine percent of those 400,000 or so number evaporate as simple spelling errors , word order , '' Morrow said .
`` But none of those , those texts that are in question , affect any central teaching of Christian doctrine or practice , '' Morrow insisted .
Bock explained many of the so-called contradictions in the Bible are just different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` And difference does not equal contradiction .
It 's just difference , '' Bock said .
`` One text may be more precise than another , but they 'll both be accurate . ''
For instance , one Gospel talks about Jesus and His disciples coming upon two demoniacs in a graveyard , but another Gospel speaks of one demoniac there .
A simple explanation is one writer shared the raw fact two demoniacs were present .
The other writer only mentioned the one demoniac because he wanted to concentrate on that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example : one Gospel says Judas hanged himself while another says he fell to the ground and his insides spilled out .

`` Four-thousand regulations the scribe had to follow to guarantee accuracy , '' he said .
McDowell brought to CBN News a massive scroll from the Middle Ages owned by a Jewish village in Europe .
In producing such a scroll , the scribes would have needed about three years to carefully ink its 300,000-plus letters .
Then a man known as a `` counter '' would come check their lettering meticulously .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Leviticus 11 , '' McDowell explained .

Archaeology : The Bible 's Best Friend Another reason to trust the Bible : archaeology and related research have time and again shown the Bible is true and the skeptics to be wrong .
`` Archaeology has probably cleared up already over half of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Scriptures , '' McDowell said .
Skeptics used to say there 's no record of a Nazareth , so the New Testament ca n't be true .
They 'd point out there was no proof of the oft-mentioned Hittites , so the Old Testament ca n't be true .
Archaeology and associated research have since shown both existed .

Finally , there 's proof of logic .
After Jesus ' death , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowledge everyone around them had , even their opponents .

A Truth Worth Dying For McDowell pointed out that dying for the Gospel would have been a crazy thing to do if you were making the whole story of Jesus ' miracles and resurrection up .
`` They appeal to their opponents for the facts of which they talk about .
To me , that 's one of the best tests of truth historically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bock asked what better proof the earliest disciples were n't making it all up than the fact they almost all were martyred for it ?
`` You do n't die knowingly for something that you know you made up , '' he said .

Dr. Darrell Bock teaches at the Dallas Theological Seminary and co-wrote Truth Matters.
"The faith is very, very defendable," Bock said. "That's why it's lasted 2,000 years."
Overwhelming Evidence
Josh McDowell wrote one of the most authoritative defenses of the Bible with Evidence That Demands a Verdict and its sequel The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict.
He pointed to how even respected "non-believers" wrote about Jesus.
"There are 16 total historians apart from Scripture that reference Christ," he said. "Almost everything about Christ we can find without ever going to the New Testament."
McDowell writes extensively about this in his newest books God-Breathed and 77 FAQs About God and the Bible.
Morrow points out in his book Questioning the Bible there's more evidence that Jesus lived than Julius Caesar, yet no one doubts Caesar existed.
"When you're doing history, you want early and you want eyewitnesses. And the gospel writers give you both," Morrow explained.
"They investigated everything carefully. They have the ring of truth to them. They include embarrassing details," he continued.
One supposition of scholars is the closer in time a writer was to events, the more likely his account is accurate.
Morrow pointed out respected biblical writers Paul and Luke interviewed the apostles and knew many others who witnessed Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.
And the writers' Peter, John, and James actually lived with Jesus.
"John said, 'What our eyes have seen, what our ears have heard, what our hands have handled is what we're declaring to you,'" McDowell said. "In other words, 'We're eyewitnesses.'"
More Accurate than Any Other Document
McDowell explained another understanding among scholars.
"The closer the manuscript to the original, the less chance of error or miscopy," he said.
Current surviving Bible manuscripts get closer to the original work than any other manuscripts from the ancient world.
"We've got manuscripts and fragments that show up within 35 or 40 years of the time when they were written," Morrow said of these biblical survivors.
"Why does that matter? It means there's not enough time for error and mythology to corrupt the message of what's going on there," he said.
But doubters scoff at those while readily accepting manuscripts of Greek and Roman histories that were created hundreds of years after the originals.
"When you look at Greek and Roman historians like Herodotus and Tacitus and Livy, those (oldest surviving manuscripts) are hundreds of years later - 500, 600, 700 years after the fact," Morrow said.
McDowell pointed out a second rule among scholars of ancient works.
"The more manuscripts you have, the easier it is to reconstruct the original," he said.
When it comes to the Bible, the surviving ancient copies or pieces of it way outnumber all other ancient works.
McDowell said there are "66,420 some manuscripts and scrolls" for the Bible.
Second place goes to Homer's The Illiad, with just 1,827. Most ancient works have far few intact remnants.
"We do trust Homer. How much more should we trust the New Testament documents?" Morrow asked.
Really 400,000 Mistakes?
With so many more copies produced by thousands of scribes across the centuries, it's no surprise there'd be occasional errors.
But critics claim there are some 400,000 mistakes or "variants" in the Bible.
Such a claim steams Bock, McDowell, and Morrow.
"Ninety-nine percent of those 400,000 or so number evaporate as simple spelling errors, word order," Morrow said.
"Like 'honor' spelled h-o-n-o-r -or 'honour' spelled h-o-n-o-u-r," McDowell explained.
"But none of those, those texts that are in question, affect any central teaching of Christian doctrine or practice," Morrow insisted.
Bock explained many of the so-called contradictions in the Bible are just different ways of telling the same story.
"And difference does not equal contradiction. It's just difference," Bock said. "One text may be more precise than another, but they'll both be accurate."
For instance, one Gospel talks about Jesus and His disciples coming upon two demoniacs in a graveyard, but another Gospel speaks of one demoniac there.
A simple explanation is one writer shared the raw fact two demoniacs were present. The other writer only mentioned the one demoniac because he wanted to concentrate on that one for a particular reason.
Another example: one Gospel says Judas hanged himself while another says he fell to the ground and his insides spilled out.
A look at the area where it's thought Judas died has trees above and on rocky cliffs with jagged rocks below. Judas could have hanged himself and then the branch broke or the rope came unknotted and his body crashed to the rocks, splitting open.
Meticulous Copy Process
Doubters have a hard time believing that the Bibles we read today could accurately reflect the actual words written by the authors so many centuries ago.
But McDowell explained how for Jewish scribes, copying books like Genesis and Exodus was holy work and strictly controlled.
"Four-thousand regulations the scribe had to follow to guarantee accuracy," he said.
McDowell brought to CBN News a massive scroll from the Middle Ages owned by a Jewish village in Europe.
In producing such a scroll, the scribes would have needed about three years to carefully ink its 300,000-plus letters. Then a man known as a "counter" would come check their lettering meticulously.
"They knew what the center was, in Leviticus 11," McDowell explained. "And they would count 159,402, hoping the next one, 403, was a center letter. If it wasn't, they couldn't use it."
Monks had tight rules for copying as well.
Archaeology: The Bible's Best Friend
Another reason to trust the Bible: archaeology and related research have time and again shown the Bible is true and the skeptics to be wrong.
"Archaeology has probably cleared up already over half of all what appeared to be alleged discrepancies in the Scriptures," McDowell said.
Skeptics used to say there's no record of a Nazareth, so the New Testament can't be true. They'd point out there was no proof of the oft-mentioned Hittites, so the Old Testament can't be true.
Archaeology and associated research have since shown both existed.
"Now you can go to Harvard or anywhere else and study the Hittite language," McDowell said.
Finally, there's proof of logic. After Jesus' death, the apostles kept pointing to the shared knowledge everyone around them had, even their opponents.
McDowell paraphrased the logic, "You know what I'm talking about. You were there."
A Truth Worth Dying For
McDowell pointed out that dying for the Gospel would have been a crazy thing to do if you were making the whole story of Jesus' miracles and resurrection up.
"They appeal to their opponents for the facts of which they talk about. To me, that's one of the best tests of truth historically," McDowell stated.
Finally, Bock asked what better proof the earliest disciples weren't making it all up than the fact they almost all were martyred for it?
"You don't die knowingly for something that you know you made up," he said.

‘We’re Going to Keep It Up’: NC Couple Fights Back after HOA Demands Cross in Yard Display Be Removed

Since it 's the Christmas season , you might think it would make sense to include a cross as part of your holiday decorations .
But one North Carolina homeowners association did n't see it that way .
James Faison says after Easter this year , his homeowners association said he could put up a six-foot cross during the holidays .
However , after he and his wife put it up for the Christmas holidays , they received a letter from the association .
`` We were shocked .
We really were .
We were shocked , especially whenever the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not representative of Christmas , '' Faison told CBN News .
Faison also says the North Raleigh couple was even more surprised when the homeowners association told them they had to provide biblical references connecting the cross to Christmas .
`` As if we did n't know why we had the cross up for Christmastime , '' he said .
`` And I knew they had stepped out of ... they stepped out of bounds , just asking that question . ''
`` And it just , it almost , it was an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he continued .
`` And so we just thought , 'Hey , we 're going to keep it up .

The HOA even threatened to fine the couple .

The couple provided the Bible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outlet contacted the homeowners association .

thelibertydaily--2020-12-24--A Reason To Pardon Julian Assange

A Reason To Pardon Julian Assange

According to reports in November of 2019 , U.S Attorney John Durham and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr were spending time on a narrowed focus looking carefully at CIA activity in the 2016 presidential election .
One quote from a media-voice increasingly sympathetic to a political deep-state noted : It is interesting that quote came from a British intelligence official , as there appears to be evidence of an extensive FBI/CIA operation that likely involved U.K. intelligence services .
In addition , and as a direct outcome , there is an aspect to the FBI/CIA operation that overlaps with both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wikileaks founder Julian Assange under tight control .
In this outline we will explain where corrupt U.S. and U.K. interests merge .
To understand the risk that Julian Assange represented to FBI/CIA interests , it is important to understand just how extensive the operations of the FBI/CIA were in 2016 .
It is within this network of foreign and domestic operations where FBI Agent Peter Strzok is clearly working as a bridge between the CIA and FBI operations .
By now people are familiar with the construct of CIA operations involving Joseph Mifsud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a western intelligence operative who was tasked by the FBI/CIA to run an operation against Trump campaign official George Papadopoulos in both Italy ( Rome ) and London .
{ Go Deep } In a similar fashion the FBI tasked U.S. intelligence asset Stefan Halper to target another Trump campaign official , Carter Page .
Under the auspices of being a Cambridge Professor Stefan Halper also targeted General Michael Flynn .
Additionally , using assistance from a female FBI agent under the false name Azra Turk , Halper also targeted Papadopoulos .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Page were all based overseas .
This seemingly makes the CIA exploitation of the assets and the targets much easier .
One of the more interesting aspects to the unfinished Durham probe is the possibility of a paper-trail created as a result of the tasking operations .
We should watch closely for evidence of a paper trail .
HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes has outlined how very specific exculpatory evidence was known to the FBI and yet withheld from the FISA application used against Carter Page that also mentions George Papadopoulos .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ FISA .
However , there is an aspect to the domestic U.S. operation that also bears the fingerprints of the international intelligence apparatus ; only this time due to the restrictive laws on targets inside the U.S. the CIA aspect is less prominent .
This is where FBI Agent Peter Strzok working for both agencies was important .
Remember , it ’ s clear in the text messages Strzok had a working relationship with what he called their “ sister agency ” , the CIA .
Additionally , Brennan has admitted Strzok helped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( ICA ) which outlines the Russia narrative ; and it is almost guaranteed the July 31st , 2016 , “ Electronic Communication ” from the CIA to the FBI that originated FBI operation “ Crossfire Hurricane ” was authored by Strzok… .
and Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief intelligence officials around Australian Ambassador to the U.K. Alexander Downer .
In short , Peter Strzok appeared to be the very eager , profoundly overzealous James Bond wannabe , who acted as a bridge between the CIA and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI career agent for CIA Director John Brennan to utilize .
Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open Source analyst Nellie Ohr toward the end of 2015 ; at appropriately the same time as “ FBI Contractors ” were identified exploiting the NSA database and extracting information on a specific set of U.S. persons .
It was also Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson who was domestically tasked with a Russian lobbyist named Natalia Veselnitskaya .
A little reported Russian Deputy Attorney General named Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was working double-agents for the CIA and Kremlin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Natalia Veselnitskaya , and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S. Glenn Simpson managed Veselnitskaya through the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr .
However , once the CIA/Fusion-GPS operation using Veselnitskaya started to unravel with public reporting… back in Russia Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash .
Simultaneously timed in late 2015 through mid 2016 , there was a domestic FBI operation using a young Russian named Maria Butina tasked to run up against republican presidential candidates .
According to Patrick Byrne , Butina ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Strzok who was giving Byrne the instructions on where to send her .
{ Go Deep } All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump ’ s orbit .
International operations directed by the FBI/CIA , and domestic operations seemingly directed by Peter Strzok operating with a foot in both agencies .
[ Strzok gets CIA service coin ] Recap : ♦Mifsud tasked against Papadopoulos ( CIA ) .
♦Halper tasked against Flynn ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Papadopoulos ( CIA ) .
♦Azra Turk , pretending to be Halper asst , tasked against Papadopoulos ( FBI ) .
♦Veselnitskaya tasked against Donald Trump Jr ( CIA , Fusion-GPS ) .
♦Butina tasked against Trump , and Donald Trump Jr ( FBI ) .
Additionally , Christopher Steele was a British intelligence officer , hired by Fusion-GPS to assemble and launder fraudulent intelligence information within his dossier .
And we can not forget Oleg Deripaska , a Russian oligarch , who was recruited by Asst .
FBI Director Andrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the Trump campaign and create the impression of Russian involvement .
Deripaska refused to participate .
All of this engagement directly controlled by U.S. intelligence ; and all of this intended to give a specific Russia impression .
This predicate is presumably what John Durham is currently reviewing .
The key point of all that background is to see how committed the CIA and FBI were to the constructed narrative of Russia interfering with the 2016 election .
The CIA , FBI , and by extension the DOJ , put a hell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Intelligence community work that Durham is now unraveling .
We also know specifically that John Durham is looking at the construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment ( ICA ) ; and talking to CIA analysts who participated in the construct of the January 2017 report that bolstered the false appearance of Russian interference in the 2016 election .
This is important because it ties in to the next part that involves Julian Assange and Wikileaks .
On April 11th , 2019 , the Julian Assange indictment was unsealed in the EDVA .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ under seal since March 6th , 2018 : On Tuesday April 15th more investigative material was released .
Again , note the dates : Grand Jury , *December of 2017* This means FBI investigation prior to… .
The FBI investigation took place prior to December 2017 , it was coordinated through the Eastern District of Virginia ( EDVA ) where Dana Boente was U.S. Attorney at the time .
The grand jury indictment was sealed from March of 2018 until after Mueller completed his investigation , April 2019 .
What was the DOJ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it gets interesting… .
The FBI submission to the Grand Jury in December of 2017 was four months after congressman Dana Rohrabacher talked to Julian Assange in August of 2017 : “ Assange told a U.S. congressman … he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents … did not come from Russia.
” Knowing how much effort the CIA and FBI put into the Russia collusion-conspiracy narrative , it would make sense for the FBI to take keen interest after this August 2017 meeting between Rohrabacher and Assange ; and why the FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Wikileaks and Bradley Manning ) for a grand jury by December 2017 .
Within three months of the grand jury the DOJ generated an indictment and sealed it in March 2018 .
The EDVA sat on the indictment while the Mueller probe was ongoing .
As soon as the Mueller probe ended , on April 11th , 2019 , a planned and coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was executed ; Julian Assange was forcibly arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London , and the EDVA indictment was unsealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who has researched this three year fiasco ; including the ridiculously false 2016 Russian hacking/interference narrative : “ 17 intelligence agencies ” , Joint Analysis Report ( JAR ) needed for Obama ’ s anti-Russia narrative in December ’ 16 ; and then a month later the ridiculously political Intelligence Community Assessment ( ICA ) in January ’ 17 ; this timing against Assange is too coincidental .
It doesn ’ t take a deep researcher to see the aligned Deep State motive to control Julian Assange because the Mueller report was dependent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is contingent on the Russia DNC hack story which Julian Assange disputes .
This is critical .
The Weissmann/Mueller report contains claims that Russia hacked the DNC servers as the central element to the Russia interference narrative in the U.S. election .
This claim is directly disputed by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange , as outlined during the Dana Rohrabacher interview , and by Julian Assange on-the-record statements .
The predicate for Robert Mueller ’ s investigation was specifically due to Russian interference in the 2016 election .
The fulcrum for this Russia interference @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the only factual evidence claimed within the ICA is that Russia hacked the DNC servers ; a claim only made possible by relying on forensic computer analysis from Crowdstrike , a DNC contractor .
The CIA holds a massive conflict of self-interest in upholding the Russian hacking claim .
The FBI holds a massive interest in maintaining that claim .
All of those foreign countries whose intelligence apparatus participated with Brennan and Strzok also have a vested self-interest in maintaining that Russia hacking and interference narrative .
Julian Assange is the only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gained custody of the DNC emails ; and Assange has claimed he has evidence it was not from a hack .
This Russian “ hacking ” claim was ultimately so important to the CIA , FBI , DOJ , ODNI and U.K intelligence apparatus… .
Well , right there is the obvious motive to shut Assange down as soon as intelligence officials knew the Mueller report was going to be public .
This is why Julian Assange deserves a pardon , so he can tell his story .

According to reports in November of 2019, U.S Attorney John Durham and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr were spending time on a narrowed focus looking carefully at CIA activity in the 2016 presidential election. One quote from a media-voice increasingly sympathetic to a political deep-state noted:
“One British official with knowledge of Barr’s wish list presented to London commented that “it is like nothing we have come across before, they are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services””. (Link)
It is interesting that quote came from a British intelligence official, as there appears to be evidence of an extensive FBI/CIA operation that likely involved U.K. intelligence services. In addition, and as a direct outcome, there is an aspect to the FBI/CIA operation that overlaps with both a U.S. and U.K. need to keep Wikileaks founder Julian Assange under tight control. In this outline we will explain where corrupt U.S. and U.K. interests merge.
To understand the risk that Julian Assange represented to FBI/CIA interests, it is important to understand just how extensive the operations of the FBI/CIA were in 2016. It is within this network of foreign and domestic operations where FBI Agent Peter Strzok is clearly working as a bridge between the CIA and FBI operations.
By now people are familiar with the construct of CIA operations involving Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese professor generally identified as a western intelligence operative who was tasked by the FBI/CIA to run an operation against Trump campaign official George Papadopoulos in both Italy (Rome) and London. {Go Deep}
In a similar fashion the FBI tasked U.S. intelligence asset Stefan Halper to target another Trump campaign official, Carter Page. Under the auspices of being a Cambridge Professor Stefan Halper also targeted General Michael Flynn. Additionally, using assistance from a female FBI agent under the false name Azra Turk, Halper also targeted Papadopoulos.
The initial operations to target Flynn, Papadopoulos and Page were all based overseas. This seemingly makes the CIA exploitation of the assets and the targets much easier.
One of the more interesting aspects to the unfinished Durham probe is the possibility of a paper-trail created as a result of the tasking operations. We should watch closely for evidence of a paper trail.
HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes has outlined how very specific exculpatory evidence was known to the FBI and yet withheld from the FISA application used against Carter Page that also mentions George Papadopoulos. The FBI also fabricated information in the FISA.
However, there is an aspect to the domestic U.S. operation that also bears the fingerprints of the international intelligence apparatus; only this time due to the restrictive laws on targets inside the U.S. the CIA aspect is less prominent. This is where FBI Agent Peter Strzok working for both agencies was important.
Remember, it’s clear in the text messages Strzok had a working relationship with what he called their “sister agency”, the CIA. Additionally, Brennan has admitted Strzok helped write the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) which outlines the Russia narrative; and it is almost guaranteed the July 31st, 2016, “Electronic Communication” from the CIA to the FBI that originated FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane” was authored by Strzok…. and Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief intelligence officials around Australian Ambassador to the U.K. Alexander Downer.
In short, Peter Strzok appeared to be the very eager, profoundly overzealous James Bond wannabe, who acted as a bridge between the CIA and the FBI. The perfect type of FBI career agent for CIA Director John Brennan to utilize.
Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open Source analyst Nellie Ohr toward the end of 2015; at appropriately the same time as “FBI Contractors” were identified exploiting the NSA database and extracting information on a specific set of U.S. persons.
It was also Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson who was domestically tasked with a Russian lobbyist named Natalia Veselnitskaya. A little reported Russian Deputy Attorney General named Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was working double-agents for the CIA and Kremlin. Karapetyan was directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S.
Glenn Simpson managed Veselnitskaya through the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. However, once the CIA/Fusion-GPS operation using Veselnitskaya started to unravel with public reporting… back in Russia Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash.
Simultaneously timed in late 2015 through mid 2016, there was a domestic FBI operation using a young Russian named Maria Butina tasked to run up against republican presidential candidates. According to Patrick Byrne, Butina’s handler, it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who was giving Byrne the instructions on where to send her. {Go Deep}
All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump’s orbit.
International operations directed by the FBI/CIA, and domestic operations seemingly directed by Peter Strzok operating with a foot in both agencies. [Strzok gets CIA service coin]
Recap: ♦Mifsud tasked against Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Halper tasked against Flynn (CIA), Page (CIA), and Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Azra Turk, pretending to be Halper asst, tasked against Papadopoulos (FBI). ♦Veselnitskaya tasked against Donald Trump Jr (CIA, Fusion-GPS). ♦Butina tasked against Trump, and Donald Trump Jr (FBI).
Additionally, Christopher Steele was a British intelligence officer, hired by Fusion-GPS to assemble and launder fraudulent intelligence information within his dossier. And we cannot forget Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, who was recruited by Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe to participate in running an operation against the Trump campaign and create the impression of Russian involvement. Deripaska refused to participate.
All of this engagement directly controlled by U.S. intelligence; and all of this intended to give a specific Russia impression. This predicate is presumably what John Durham is currently reviewing.
The key point of all that background is to see how committed the CIA and FBI were to the constructed narrative of Russia interfering with the 2016 election. The CIA, FBI, and by extension the DOJ, put a hell of a lot of work into it. Intelligence community work that Durham is now unraveling.
We also know specifically that John Durham is looking at the construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA); and talking to CIA analysts who participated in the construct of the January 2017 report that bolstered the false appearance of Russian interference in the 2016 election. This is important because it ties in to the next part that involves Julian Assange and Wikileaks.
On April 11th, 2019, the Julian Assange indictment was unsealed in the EDVA. From the indictment we discover it was under seal since March 6th, 2018:
(Link to pdf)
On Tuesday April 15th more investigative material was released. Again, note the dates: Grand Jury, *December of 2017* This means FBI investigation prior to….
The FBI investigation took place prior to December 2017, it was coordinated through the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) where Dana Boente was U.S. Attorney at the time. The grand jury indictment was sealed from March of 2018 until after Mueller completed his investigation, April 2019.
Why the delay?
What was the DOJ waiting for?
Here’s where it gets interesting….
The FBI submission to the Grand Jury in December of 2017 was four months after congressman Dana Rohrabacher talked to Julian Assange in August of 2017: “Assange told a U.S. congressman … he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents … did not come from Russia.”
(August 2017, The Hill Via John Solomon) Julian Assange told a U.S. congressman on Tuesday he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents he published during last year’s election did not come from Russia and promised additional helpful information about the leaks in the near future. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who is friendly to Russia and chairs an important House subcommittee on Eurasia policy, became the first American congressman to meet with Assange during a three-hour private gathering at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has been holed up for years. Rohrabacher recounted his conversation with Assange to The Hill. “Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues, including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] emails during last year’s presidential election,” Rohrabacher said, “Julian emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails.” Pressed for more detail on the source of the documents, Rohrabacher said he had information to share privately with President Trump. (read more)
Knowing how much effort the CIA and FBI put into the Russia collusion-conspiracy narrative, it would make sense for the FBI to take keen interest after this August 2017 meeting between Rohrabacher and Assange; and why the FBI would quickly gather specific evidence (related to Wikileaks and Bradley Manning) for a grand jury by December 2017.
Within three months of the grand jury the DOJ generated an indictment and sealed it in March 2018. The EDVA sat on the indictment while the Mueller probe was ongoing.
As soon as the Mueller probe ended, on April 11th, 2019, a planned and coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was executed; Julian Assange was forcibly arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and the EDVA indictment was unsealed (link).
As a person who has researched this three year fiasco; including the ridiculously false 2016 Russian hacking/interference narrative: “17 intelligence agencies”, Joint Analysis Report (JAR) needed for Obama’s anti-Russia narrative in December ’16; and then a month later the ridiculously political Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) in January ’17; this timing against Assange is too coincidental.
It doesn’t take a deep researcher to see the aligned Deep State motive to control Julian Assange because the Mueller report was dependent on Russia cybercrimes, and that narrative is contingent on the Russia DNC hack story which Julian Assange disputes.
This is critical. The Weissmann/Mueller report contains claims that Russia hacked the DNC servers as the central element to the Russia interference narrative in the U.S. election. This claim is directly disputed by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, as outlined during the Dana Rohrabacher interview, and by Julian Assange on-the-record statements.

Facebook Declares War on Apple

Facebook launched a PR assault against Apple on Wednesday , proclaiming that the iPhone maker ’ s upcoming changes to its mobile operating system will hurt small businesses ’ ability to target advertising and app makers ’ ability to offer free content .
When Apple AAPL , updates iOS 14 on mobile devices early next year , it will require all apps to show a prompt allowing users to opt out of targeted advertising .
People opting out of tracking will hinder Facebook ’ s FB , ability to collect information it could use to personalize ads , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ standing with “ Fortnite ” owner Epic Games Inc. in its antitrust suit against Apple .
Previously : Big Tech is turning on one another amid antitrust probes and litigation In full-page ads Wednesday morning in the New York Times , Washington Post and Wall Street Journal , Facebook said it is “ standing up to Apple for small businesses everywhere.
” The social media giant also held a news conference featuring a couple of small-business owners who said their businesses have thrived because they effectively target personalized ads .
“ There ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be where it is today without personalized ads , ” said Monique Wilsondebriano , who co-owns Charleston Gourmet Burger Co. in South Carolina with her husband Chevalo .
She said that when they started their business in 2012 , they turned to online ads because they could not afford radio or television advertising : “ No way , hands down.

“ We believe that this is a simple matter of standing up for our users , ” the company said in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know when their data is being collected and shared across other apps and websites — and they should have the choice to allow that or not.
” An Apple spokesperson pointed to a letter sent by Jane Horvath , senior director of global privacy at the company , to privacy advocates last month in response to their disappointment that Apple was delaying the rollout of iOS 14 .
“ Some companies that would prefer [ app tracking transparency ] is never implemented have said that this policy uniquely burdens small businesses by restricting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the current data arms race primarily benefits big businesses with big data sets , ” Horvath wrote .
After the iOS update , users will be able to more easily track who ’ s tracking them and make changes if necessary , Apple said .
It said it was delaying the rollout to give app developers more time to adjust .
Dan Levy , Facebook vice president for ads and business products , said Facebook “ fundamentally disagrees ” with Apple ’ s stance that “ personalized ads are inherently inconsistent with privacy.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the industry “ can protect privacy while using personalized data.
” Levy also said Apple ’ s moves are “ anticompetitive , ” echoing antitrust sentiment against Big Tech , and said Apple is trying to “ go back 20 to 30 years ” to a time before targeted advertising .
“ We welcome in-app advertising and are not prohibiting tracking , ” Apple said in a statement .
“ We ’ re simply requiring each app to obtain explicit user consent.
” Facebook also said it intends to support Epic Games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accuses Apple of anticompetitive behavior after it removed Fortnite from the App Store because Epic offered a way to pay for in-app purchases that bypassed the App Store .

An Apple spokesperson pointed to a letter sent by Jane Horvath, senior director of global privacy at the company, to privacy advocates last month in response to their disappointment that Apple was delaying the rollout of iOS 14.
“Some companies that would prefer [app tracking transparency] is never implemented have said that this policy uniquely burdens small businesses by restricting advertising options, but in fact, the current data arms race primarily benefits big businesses with big data sets,” Horvath wrote.
After the iOS update, users will be able to more easily track who’s tracking them and make changes if necessary, Apple said. It said it was delaying the rollout to give app developers more time to adjust.
Dan Levy, Facebook vice president for ads and business products, said Facebook “fundamentally disagrees” with Apple’s stance that “personalized ads are inherently inconsistent with privacy.” He added that Facebook and others in the industry “can protect privacy while using personalized data.”
Levy also said Apple’s moves are “anticompetitive,” echoing antitrust sentiment against Big Tech, and said Apple is trying to “go back 20 to 30 years” to a time before targeted advertising.
“We welcome in-app advertising and are not prohibiting tracking,” Apple said in a statement. “We’re simply requiring each app to obtain explicit user consent.”
Facebook also said it intends to support Epic Games’ lawsuit against Apple. The lawsuit accuses Apple of anticompetitive behavior after it removed Fortnite from the App Store because Epic offered a way to pay for in-app purchases that bypassed the App Store.

Apple, which has been criticized for the 30% cut it takes from app developers, last month launched a program that slashes commission rates in half for businesses that make under $1 million a year.
The company expected companies like Facebook to fight its upcoming update.
Craig Federighi, Apple’s head of software engineering, said at a privacy conference in Europe last week that “it’s already clear that some companies are going to do everything they can to stop the App Tracking Transparency feature I described earlier — or any innovation like it — and to maintain their unfettered access to people’s data.”
Apple and Facebook have sniped at each other for years. Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook has pointedly said his company doesn’t “monetize” its users through advertising. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hit back by saying that his company does not charge its users, while Apple’s products are sold at a premium.
Facebook faces its own antitrust scrutiny, with the Federal Trade Commission and 48 attorneys general signing on to an antitrust suit against the company last week. Alphabet Inc.’s GOOGL, -1.18% GOOG, -1.18% Google also faces federal and state antitrust charges, and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -2.06% is being investigated for potentially anticompetitive actions by the European Union and reportedly the U.S.

Facebook shares gained slightly Wednesday, while Apple declined slightly. Apple stock has gained 73.6% so far this year, making it worth more than $2 trillion, while Facebook shares have increased 34.4%. The S&P 500 index has gained 14.4% in that time.

US Attorney Brian Moran said, "…since January there have been 41 incidents of shunts placed on the BNSF tracks in Whatcom and Skagit counties—causing crossing guards to malfunction, interfering with automatic braking systems, and, in one case, causing the near-derailment of tanks of hazardous chemicals."

The site lauded praise on the 'autonomous zones' in the Pacific Northwest and other anarchist actions and events.
