Almost immediately after reading the article, I suspected the foreign country could be Israel. Its nuclear program is one of the most secretive in the world, while the ongoing assumption is that, yes, America helped Israel to manufacture its stockpile. Information about Israels program is highly sought-after by spies from Muslim and secular nations alike, and therefore would carry with it significant monetary and reputational value to anyone willing to barter for that information....
The answer is obvious to anyone whos observed him operating as a con-man for the last 40 years. Nuclear secrets like these could be used to extort the foreign nation in question. In other words: Unless you do X, Y, and Z for me, I might just let this document fall out of my briefcase next time Im in Riyadh. Or, similarly, it could be used as a dead-mans switch: If you arrest and prosecute me, one of my people will email this document to Breitbart or Riyadh, or Damascus, or Tehran....
Millions of gullible dummies handed this monkey, Trump, a loaded machine gun the nuclear codes and access to literally all of our most guarded national security secrets, as well as practically unchecked power to disrupt and subvert the rule of law, American foreign policy, and national stability. If you need another reason why the presidency should never be handed over to political tourists, crooks, game show hosts, or con-men who pander to your grievances, "access to nuclear secrets" is near the top of the list.

(84 posts)I believe Trump's goal is a world where Putin runs the show, with Xi and the Saudis to back him up, and that the (surveys proven as) unintelligent who follow them will believe that America still runs the show, because they agree on many subjects with Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church.
I'm stunned over the last few months as to the number of conservatives who actually openly support him, given the chance and the window to say something.

Lets explore the Ape with Ak 47 video.
{snip}
Its a Fake
The video that claims to show an Ape firing a gun is in fact Fake. The video looks real and seems very real, however, the video is fake and was created by 20th-century fox studios as it says in the corner of the screen, however, why was this video made? The video was made as an advertising campaign for their upcoming film, at the time, Rise of the Planet of the Apes! This video wasnt put in the news other than on Military Times, but they didnt have a clue if it was fake or not. This video is hard to tell but it is fake!

(9,898 posts)I suspect that the unexpected scramble to retrieve missing documents happened when someone abroad or at a computer workstation found something that no way in hell should be found where it was.
I am surprised that audits in the US (apparently) did not show that so many documents were missing, unless Flynn and Meadows completely trashed the security operation. But then again, custodians of SCI should have known immediately.
Oh what a cluster.
I put this up on pastebin so long ago that I forgot.
Nothing changed.

THE RUSSIAN PLAN
While legislators and DOJ investigate a failed coup attempt at the Capitol, a successful coup has overtaken the USSC, which is dismantling the Constitution in an effort concerted with right-wing domestic terrorists, the GOP, oligarchs, Christian Nationalists and others, a Mitchavillian (!) scheme that follows the Russian strategy to divide and destroy the United States:
Simply put, Normalize hate and violence. Stochastic terrorism. Bring down elected government and democratic processes. This was also seen in 30s Germany,
We are in a state of emergency, and are today divided into slave and free states.
The suspected instigator and supporter, Russia, has proven itself to be a third-rate power, relying on agents within the U.S. who sabotage the U.S. with acts of terrorism, insurrection and sedition, a second civil war.
Pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly. They involve: The RW shift from issues to outright terrorism and Russian messaging, Russias dependence on oil, their State-Adopted Religion and white dominance, long-term plans to annex Ukraine, divisive bot posts on social media, a major news outlet praising Putin, sponsorship of NRA to encourage mob rule, fear and domestic terrorism over constitutional government. (more detail below)
ACTION PLAN.
Russias subversion of the US, and all its domestic assets must be stopped by all means, including emergency powers. We are already this day divided into slave and free states.
This calls for extraordinary measures, some of which are in the expanded executive powers granted since 2001.They may include executive orders, expanding the USSC, ending the filibuster rule or others more potent such as emergency powers. This is Putins Armageddon. It must be his Twilight of the Gods, his Valhalla gone up in flames, not ours.
While patient investigative and legal processes are essential, they might be rendered moot by a rogue court of ideologues and traitors to the constitution. What is the definition of sedition again? So, any beneficial action outside these slow channels is urgent or people and democracy will perish in the mean time.
BACKGROUND:
HOW DO WE KNOW THIS?
When you start with the premise that Russia has instigated a campaign of disruption in the U.S. to bolster its aims, ALL the pieces fit together perfectly.
1. The conservative movement took a hard swing right from its Limbaugh days of conservative issues and hate to pure hate and destruction. This coincides with the breakup of the Soviet Union. Anti-Soviet messaging ceased.
2. Russias economy is extremely oil-dependent. Oil interests control many legislators, and reap massive subsidies and favors.
3. Russia is an Orthodox Christian in name only, mostly white state. The church blesses nuclear warheads and Putin has declared his intention to expand his White Christian Nationalism.
4. Putin wants Ukraine. Arguably, that is the cause of his interference in the 2015 election to install an asset as president and weaken NATO, effectively delivering him Ukraine.
5. Bots spread lies and divisive messages to get Americans to fight one another.
6. A major news outlet repeatedly praises Putin, when theres nothing apparent to gain by doing so. On the surface, anyway.
7; Russia financed and infiltrated the NRA with the goal of replacing constitutional government with mob rule, and domestic terrorism.
8. It is the M.O. of fiends to get people to believe in causes that are against their own best interest.
9. And yet! When a dictator takes power, their beloved freedom fighters become their biggest threat, so AWAY WITH YOUR GUNS. Courts that destroyed constitutional law to put them in place become useless baggage, so SAY GOODBYE.
10. The abortion issue is just the first volley. They have others at the ready, and are working top-down and bottom-up to destroy constitutional rights, the constitution and the country, and hand it over.
