Spider Webs

[H2O Man]

Spider webs are fascinating. They come in various shapes and sizes. Often, one can see the spider that constructed the web sitting, waiting patiently. But, even if the web appears empty, one can be sure that a spider built the web. For there are no spider webs without associated spiders.

There are no criminal webs without criminals. At times, these webs of corruption and deceit are seen sans the criminals that have constructed them. Thus, investigations to untangle such criminal webs can take time. Investigations want to identify all the evidence required to trap the criminals in their web, and to convict them.

There are also investigative journalists who special in deconstructing such webs. There is an extremely valuable documentary on one such investigation of the Trump-Russian web that came out in May. I highly recommend it to everyone on this forum. Here is a link:

Enjoy!

[H2O Man]

2. Thanks!

It's definitely worth watching.

[canetoad]

3. Rec.

Definitely worth watching both parts.

[H2O Man]

5. Thanks!

It makes the right's "but there's no evidence!" seem rather funny.

[beam me up scottie]

4. Kicked and highly recommended!

[H2O Man]

6. Thank you!

A bunch of freaking hoodlums.

[beam me up scottie]

14. You're much more polite about it than i am.

I can't remember the last time I used so many expletives, probably sometime during the Bush years.

[H2O Man]

16. Ha!

Oh, I have my moments when I hear some of the shit.

[oasis]

7. Kick for max exposure.

[H2O Man]

9. Thanks!

I appreciate it!

[H2O Man]

10. Thank you.

I'm likely going to post something featuring Malcolm Nance tomorrow. I think that DU:GD should serve as a resource center for people. (The other day, someone posted an OP that incorrectly implied that Mr. Nance is saying things that he absoplutely is not saying. Sometimes, we "hear" what we want to hear.)

11. Love This

R


Where the Lion?

[H2O Man]

12. Thanks, Me!

I've got a few more planned for this week. It just might be important for DUers to review some of this information before Friday evening.

[Me.]

13. Added An Edit

I found Rachel interesting last night, talking about the Eastern District and how many grand juries may be happening, including Flynn and referencing Sen. Whitehouse. We've heard the same such from some disputed sources on DU

[Me.]

28. The Obvious ?

Why before Friday evening?

[H2O Man]

29. Well, I could

be wrong -- as I often am -- but I have a feeling that both the NY Times and Washington Post will be running some mighty interesting stories on their web sites early Friday evening. Of course, they might wait until the Sunday newspapers. But I think Friday ......

[Me.]

30. Hook, Line & Sinker

Got Me.

[H2O Man]

32. No.

It's the "follow-the-money." It's going to open up.

[Me.]

33. MY Post Means I'm In

Waiting

[H2O Man]

35. Oh, okay.

I think people should be familiar with the players in the film. There's a few that should be in the news soon!

Was just talking about Sater

39. About Sater

[H2O Man]

41. Very good!

[H2O Man]

42. Might have to

title my next OP "Bayrock Watch."

[H2O Man]

40. Mr. O'Brien

hit the nail on the head.

[H2O Man]

31. Part Two ....

It's funny: I was thinking of a discussion we recently had about some tapes. And it hit me -- I could find a link to this film, which contains the answer, so to speak. Kind of like when hippies dissected Beatles albums, but it's there.

[Me.]

34. Number 9

I'm going back to look

[coeur_de_lion]

37. Why do you have the feeling

something's going to break Friday?

[H2O Man]

38. Oh, a few things.

It's a combination of things, really. A few weeks ago, I noted that Flynn had been turned. Not "officially," but he has. The problem is that he's been well documented in lying for the past four years. And I keep talking about the meeting that Erik Prince attended on the island off of Africa. And I've stated that Treasury has been investigating the money flow for months now. Keep those three in mind between now and Friday (Sunday morning at latest).

Did you see Rachel's show this evening? She's already started reporting -- actually, based on another journalist's report -- about the very issues/people covered in the film in the OP.

Finally, remember Me's questions last week? For months now, I've pointed out the MI6 report's mention of Trump and the Russian prostitutes isn't exactly what people think? See, Trump might have been careful while in Russia. But Russian prostitutes travel outside of Russia. Sometimes on big, fancy boats.

Make sense?

[coeur_de_lion]

44. Brother I think you are being deliberately obtuse

Russian prostitutes travel outside of Russia. Sometimes on big, fancy boats.

Make sense?

Nope doesn't make any sense at all.

Bottom line it for me would ya?

[H2O Man]

45. Hey!

Low-blow, calling me "obtuse." I have been trying to lose weight. Don't pick on me.

I can tell that you did not watch the film that is linked unto in the OP. It contains information about the boat trips.

I'm off to do a sit-up or two.......

[coeur_de_lion]

46. Sit ups are great for your back too

No I can't watch the whole film. No time.

And I think it is too depressing for me.

In fact I will have to log out of DU until this whole thing blows over because it is too stressful.

Wrecking my good vibrations y'know.

Keeping my vibration high is very important to me especially right now.

[H2O Man]

48. I know that

many good people, including yourself, find the current situation depressing. I find some of it upsetting, of course, but I also find the process unfolding to be fascinating.

[coeur_de_lion]

50. Yes I can see that

it could be fascinating to many people who are able to look at it objectively.

I can't be objective though.

I just want it to be over.

15. Fascinating until you walk into one.

I did a week's worth of cardio in about 20 minutes last week after doing so.

[H2O Man]

21. Right.

My youngest daughter was about 5 when she got bit by a spider; her face looked like Carmen Basilio's after the second Sugar Ray Robinson fight.

[kentuck]

17. Thanks, Friend!

[H2O Man]

22. Thank you!

I'll be posting a good film of Malcolm Nance tomorrow. He puts everything together quite well. I think it could serve as a good DU:GD follow-up to the flick in the OP.

And Trump ranted against globalism in the campaign! What a jackass.

[calimary]

18. You always come up with worthy reading material, H2O Man

Thanks for posting this!

[H2O Man]

23. Thanks!

I'm trying to put together a few good Trump-Russia OPs. I think they will serve the DU community well in the upcoming weeks.

[Quanta]

19. Check out the Iceland connection.

Something's up there. Iceland kicked out it's corrupt politicians and banksters after the last recession, and are being mentioned in this story. I am going to research this more.

[H2O Man]

24. Very good!

We can do some research here on DU:GD, and perhaps have a group of us send it on to Rachel, Lawrence, and Joy on MSNBC.

[magicarpet]

20. You are the media while MSM investigative reporters snooze and nap. (nt)

[H2O Man]

25. We might be

able to serve as middle-men and -women here on DU:GD. I'd venture that a group of us could put a few ideas together, and send them on to a few media sources that are interested in honest reporting.

[malaise]

26. Thanks WaterMan

[H2O Man]

27. Thanks!

[niyad]

47. k and r and bookmarking.

I notice him saying "IN russia"--which leaves the whole rest of the world for him to spend his russian money.

[H2O Man]

49. Solid point.

His careful use of those words stands out, once you are aware of their true meaning.

[Rollo]

51. Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive...

Trite but oh so true about Cheetolini...

[H2O Man]

53. Today's Washington Post

breaking news story about Putin brings that web into much sharper focus.

[spanone]
