Mini AOC is back with ‘climate apocalypse in 12 years’ parody video

The child actor who starred in a series of parody videos as “Mini AOC” is back, after having been bullied off the internet with death threats in July, as Fox News reported back then

The 8-year-old child actor who went viral for impersonating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, is no longer going to make videos due to death threats and harassment she and her family have received.

Earlier this year, Ava Martinez, known as “Mini AOC,” brought joy to her fans with several videos poking fun at the socialist darling, collecting millions of views on social media.

However, the fun came to a screeching halt on Wednesday when Martinez’s family announced that she would no longer be impersonating Ocasio-Cortez and that all the videos created would be removed.

 

 

Since children in political videos are now such a hot topic, or maybe “inspired” by Greta Thunberg’s PR blitz, or maybe because the death threat thugs have been apprehended, Mini AOC is back. And her comeback video is better than ever. Eat your heart out, Greta!

Trump Exposes Paul Ryan and Romney Republicans

One of the greatest public services President Donald Trump has done for the nation is forcing institutions and people to reveal their true character.

While this has been the most valuable when it comes to the media, it has also been valuable when it comes to unmasking globalist Republicans.

This was again on display this week, most notably in the revelation that Paul Ryan was inciting Fox News from his position on the board of Fox Corporation to “decisively break” with President Trump.  Ryan has apparently graduated from providing the worst advice to the president as the speaker of the House to providing the worst advice to Fox News.

Were Fox to follow this advice, the network would have even fewer viewers than CNN, which can at least count on hapless airport captives to boost its numbers.  I find it hard to believe that any of Fox’s viewers are not to the right of Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace.  If Fox management thinks it can somehow compete for liberal viewers, it is delusional.

These people are supposedly preparing for life after Trump, but more likely, they are preparing for life without viewers.  For when they speak of chasing moderates, what they are really suggesting is appealing to liberals.  These viewers are never going to tune in to the object of their hatred when they have so many long established liberal echo chambers, no matter how many Donna Braziles they bring on board.  But Fox management can certainly chase off its audience by following Ryan’s advice.  One America News, or another network to be named later, would welcome their viewers.

Most Republican voters did not realize how in thrall so many of its leaders were to globalism and open-border insanity.  They do now.

Trump has realigned the Republican Party, and there is no going back any time soon — not without completely destroying the party and likely the country in the process.  That realignment has offset what looked to be a permanent demographic advantage for the Democrats as Trump’s commonsense nationalism is chewing into voting blocs Democrats thought they had locked up for generations.

This is why the latest impeachment gambit is an act of pure weakness, a sign that the Democrats do not think they can beat Trump’s message at the ballot box.

Trump’s approval rating is at least 91% among Republicans.  But that number tells only part of the story.  That approval runs deep.

Why?  Because Trump kept his promises to his voters.  His record of accomplishment on the full gamut of issues that his voters care about is impressive.  He has been the best Republican president of the modern era on what matters the most (energy independence, unleashing the economy, appointing Constitution-minded judges, keeping the U.S. from further foreign entanglements, advancing the pro-life cause, the Second Amendment, etc.).

A Trump-hating liberal colleague and friend asked me what Trump would have to do to lose my support.  The answer was easy: abandon both his principles and his supporters.  Judging from his splendid speeches last week in defense of religious freedom and serving the national interest, that is not going to happen.  A national election is a binary proposition.  It is simply not possible for Trump to devolve to the point where any of the current Democrat options would be preferable.

Republican voters are no longer going to tolerate globalists or Weekly Standard–reading foreign adventurists.  That era is gone.  Those voters are all too aware of the rigged system that was passed off as free trade, even as the U.S. and working-class Americans were ripped off.

Any Republican politician who thinks his constituency is the media and not the voters is in for a rude awakening.  Mitt Romney, who once all but rolled over onto his back so Candy Crowley would scratch his belly, has been one of the worst offenders.  Apparently, Crowley is way scarier than Trump, since Romney did not have a bad word for her as she eviscerated his campaign.

Even though Utah is not among the most pro-Trump Republican states, Romney’s approval is crashing among the broader Republican electorate.  He is of that breed of Republican, following in the footsteps of George W. Bush and John McCain, who would not dare criticize a Democrat, reserving his fiercest barbs for a fellow Republican.  Why?  Because these politicians become addicted to being a hero in the media’s story.

Romney is more Fredo than Lando, too foolish to realize how badly he is being used even as he listens to the media sirens calling from the rocks.  It’s bad enough when Republican voters see Democrats opposing Trump.  But the way so many Republicans do it is disgraceful and dispiriting.

This is not to say the president is above criticism.  But adding Republican voices to obvious liberal insanity is a sad spectacle of self-loathing.  It’s mostly a media phenomenon.  If you are a Republican, the media are the enemy.  Any Republican who does not understand this dynamic is not fit for office.

Barack Obama could always count on full party loyalty, and the media would have crushed any dissenting Democrat voice that broke from him.  Those same media will celebrate any Republican who breaks from their party.  John McCain practically built a career out of bowing to the media, and Romney seems committed to being his heir to that party-bucking label.

When Republicans go bad, they quickly progress through the seven stages of stupidity.  Bill Weld suggested that President Trump should face the death penalty over Ukraine.  For what is anyone’s guess.  He must really seek media adoration to have eclipsed the insanity emanating from the Democrat clown car.  Shocker that he is down by only 67 points in New Hampshire.  Hey, there is still time for George Will to jump into the race to really shake things up.

Many former Republican pundits and washed up former politicians labor under the delusion that Trump is an aberration and that their audience will come back begging them to toss their pearls of wisdom before deplorable swine.  It’s never going to happen.  Their audience is gone unless they have a serious conversion moment.

Without Trump, many Americans would not know how awful so many of these politicians and pundits truly were, even as they helped advance the Democrat anti-nation globalist nightmare vision.

It was a good con while it lasted, but it’s over.  While the Paul Ryans of the world were vastly preferable to most Democrats, they were still awful, wrong on far too many issues and not committed to actually championing anything of value or opposing the destructive forces arrayed against the Republic.  This latest outrage brings further clarity to Ryan’s long track record of failure in the House of Representatives.

Most Republicans will never again care what Mitt Romney thinks about anything, nor will they look to Paul Ryan for guidance or direction.  Unless the Murdochs really are set on CNNing their empire, they would do well to send Ryan packing.

Khan’s London: 16-strong Knife Gang Singles Out White Victims

A 16-strong knife gang targetted a group of young athletes in London’s Finsbury Park, robbing and threatening to kill the three white people in the group but telling the black people with them “You’re good.”

The six victims, while walking home through the eponymous park, found “They were being tailed by one of [the gang] on a bike,” recalled Adrian Klemens, a coach at the Dynamic Sports Academy, in comments reported by the Islington Gazette.

“Then there were 16 of them. They circled them and picked one [of the victims] off to the side and said: ‘Give me your phone or I will stab you — put in your Apple Pay password’,” Klemens continued.

“Out of our group three were white and three were black and they said to the black guys: ‘You’re good,’ and just attacked the white guys.”

However, the victim did not know the password, as it was mother’s account, and after getting it wrong several times was warned: “If you get this wrong again you’re dead.”

Fortunately, he had the athleticism to make a dash for freedom, escaping the potentially murderous group. The other two white members of the group had their phones taken from them.

The victims were young, aged 17 to 22, and the one who had to run for his life is now too frightened to return to the academy.

“The kid who ran off said he’s scared to come now — they threatened to stab him,” explained Klemens.

The coach suggested that the forces of law and order have a weak to non-existent presence in Finsbury Park, located in a multicultural area best known for its links to radical Islam.

“I’ve been running that sports academy for 13 years and I’ve never seen police,” he said.

Curiously, the Islington Gazette provided no description of the suspects, despite the attack’s racially-charged overtones.

NYC now has a ban on saying “illegal alien”

The craziness in New York City continues unabated. In the municipal government’s endless war against the insufficiently woke, a new weapon has been added to the social justice warriors’ arsenal. The City Hall Commission on Human Rights has now issued an edict saying that it will henceforth be illegal to use the phrase “illegal alien” if it’s directed at someone in a way that is “motivated by hate.” You will also be in violation of the law if you threaten to call immigration enforcement on an illegal alien. And the fines you can be hit with are jaw dropping. (NY Post)

It’s now against the law in New York City to threaten someone with a call to immigration authorities or refer to them as an “illegal alien” when motivated by hate.

The restrictions — violations of which are punishable by fines of up to $250,000 per offense — are outlined in a 29-page directive released by City Hall’s Commission on Human Rights.

“‘Alien’ — used in many laws to refer to a ‘noncitizen’ person — is a term that may carry negative connotations and dehumanize immigrants, marking them as ‘other,’” reads one passage of the memo. “The use of certain language, including ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals,’ with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination.”

So using the same phrase that appears all through Title 8 of federal law to identify an illegal alien in New York City can now land you in hot water. And if you inform the illegal alien that you are going to report their unlawful presence in the country to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), not only will the police not assist the feds in taking the illegal into custody, but they may be dispatched to take you in if the person files a complaint.

Then you may have to cough up a quarter-million dollars in fines to the city. (And given how badly the budget has been mismanaged under the de Blasio administration, they could probably use the money.) Isn’t that just lovely?

The ironic thing here is that it’s still technically legal (though very messed up) to use a racial epithet against a citizen, provided it’s not in the workplace, it’s against the law to identify a criminal based on their illegal status. And while you are encouraged to report virtually any other crime you observe to the police for investigation, suggesting that you might report this particular crime can wind up bankrupting you in municipal court.

Oh, and there’s even more good news for illegal aliens in the Big Apple. The Mayor is going to try to order bars and restaurants to accept city ID cards (which illegal aliens in New York City can now sign up for, along with driver’s licenses). And he’s doing it despite the fact that it’s a violation of state law to accept that ID for the sale of alcohol. (They can only accept a driver’s license, a non-driver ID card issued by the DMV, a U.S. military ID, a valid passport or a visa from any country.)

In New York City the patients are now running the mental asylum. Flee while you can, folks. Somebody is eventually going to wise up and just build a huge wall around Gotham and trap you all there.

Soros Linked to Whistleblower Report – Former US Attorney Finds Proof Buried in Footnotes

Former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova and his barrister wife Victoria Toensing dropped a bombshell claim in a recent Fox News appearance.

Appearing on Fox’s “Hannity,” the pair took on the ubiquitous Trump-Ukraine whistleblower fraud (and that’s what it is: a fraud, not a scandal — at least not for the president).

DiGenova’s assessment of the situation was direct.

“This whistleblower needs to go to prison. He doesn’t need to be feted, he needs to go to prison,” he said.

The former U.S. attorney didn’t explain exactly why the anonymous informant should be jailed, though it may well have something to do with what Fred Fleitz, the former National Security Council chief of staff and CIA analyst, suggested: that “rules restricting access and knowledge of these sensitive calls [were] breached.”

Regardless, the call for prison was just a prelude to what was coming. It was at that point that Toensing jumped in, saying, “U.S. and other people made false statements about him, yeah, that was George Soros-funded NGOs who were also in bed with the State Department. They were in bed with each other during that time, in the name of anti-corruption and it really means that Soros goes after his competitors.”

Then she dropped the bomb: “The whistleblower sprinkles throughout his document footnotes referring to a publication with the initials ‘OCCRP.’ One guess, Sean, who funds OOCRP? George Soros.”

One of the organizations funding the OCCRP (an initialism for the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project) is the Soros-founded Open Society Foundations.

DiGenova followed up, “Soros’ dirty money is all over this story from day one,” to which Toensing replied, “And all over Ukraine and he still has embedded people at the State Department.”

Both diGenova and Toensing appear to be right. The whistleblower’s complaint does reference the OCCRP multiple times, in footnotes 4, 9 and 10 on pages 4, 5 and 6 respectively.

Footnote 4 states, “In a report published by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) on 22 July, two associates of Mr. Giuliani reportedly traveled to Kyiv in May 2019, and met with Mr. Bakanov and another close Zelenskyy adviser, Mr. Serhiy Shefir.”

Footnote 9 states, “In May, Attorney General Barr announced that he was initiating a probe into the ‘origins’ of the Russia investigation. According to the above-referenced OCCRP report (22 July), two associates of Mr. Giuliani claimed to be working with Ukrainian officials to uncover information that would become part of this inquiry. In an interview with Fox News on 8 August, Mr. Giuliani claimed that Mr. John Durham, whom Attorney General Barr designated to lead this probe, was ‘spending a lot of time in Europe’ because he was ‘investigating Ukraine.’ I do not know the extent to which, if at all, Mr. Giuliani is directly coordinating his efforts on Ukraine with Attorney General Barr or Mr. Durham.”

Footnote 10 simply refers to the OCCRP report already mentioned and an article in Bloomberg. Footnote 10 is attached to a bullet that states, “It was also publicly reported that Mr. Giuliani had met on at least two occasions with Mr. Lutsenko: once in New York in late January and again in Warsaw in mid-February. In addition, it was publicly reported that Mr. Giuliani had spoken in late 2018 to former Prosecutor General Shokin, in a Skype call arranged by two associates of Mr. Giuliani.”

The whistleblower was pulling at least some of his information from OCCRP reports or using OCCRP reports to support some of his claims.

The line linking Soros to an attempt to essentially overthrow the president isn’t direct, but neither is it non-existent. It runs from Soros through a foundation he created to an organization it funds to a set of footnotes buried in a document receiving massive media attention and implying wrongdoing on the part of a sitting president.

The line connecting it all is serpentine, but it is a line nonetheless.

At this point, no other Soros links have surfaced. Perhaps they will. Perhaps they won’t.

This surprising (or alarming, depending on your point of view) connection should concern every American but not just because of the direct implications for the Ukraine fraud.

Every American should consider just how incestuous the swamp, both in the U.S. and internationally, has become.

Say the connection means nothing. Even then, shouldn’t we worry if a phony international scandal accidentally ties back to a U.S. political wheeler and dealer, even if he wasn’t involved? That shows a level of interconnectedness (some would say incestuousness) among powerful people and institutions that simply cannot be healthy for democratic civil societies. This begins to look like plutocracy, rule by the wealthy, instead of republican democracy.

And in perhaps the greatest irony of the last four years, the ultra-wealthy Donald Trump is the one trying to bring down Soros and the rest of the elites’ burgeoning plutocracy — and those elites haven’t the foggiest idea of how to stop him.

Actor Jon Voight Defends Trump From Radical Left: “This Is War” (VIDEO)

Jon Voight is a rare man in Hollywood.

He is a conservative and he openly supports President Trump.

He just released a new video on his Twitter feed, during which he defends Trump and goes after the far left for trying to destroy him.

Breitbart has a partial transcript:

“War. This is war against truths. This is a war against the highest noble man who has defended our country and made us safe and great again,” the Jon Voight said. “Let me stand with our president. Let us all stand with our President Trump in a time of such evil words trying for impeachment.”

“This is a crime that the left are trying to force. This is a disgrace by such ignorant followers that have no truth of what truly has been brought back to our country,” he said. “We have gained greatness. We have gained jobs. We have gained more than any president has promised.”

“This radical left are destructive. Their codes of what is supposed to be are corrupt with lies, deceits and anger,” he said. “And we ask why: we ask how could a human being have such anger toward the greatness of our country’s glory? I’ll tell you why. Because for so long their anger has been growing and with such deep pain with no open heart for loving and seeing the truth.”

“And what does the radical left do for such greatness? They want to destroy. They want civilization to be run like a corrupt ring. I say stand now with Trump. Let truth prevail. And may God show all the truth, that we are truly a nation stronger because of our president. The left are afraid, for their power is lessening with every deal that is accomplished by Donald Trump.”

Watch the video:

Here are a few responses to Voight’s message:

It’s a powerful message.

Maryland Sheriff Urges Congress to Take ‘Serious Measures’ to Address Illegal Immigration ‘Crisis’

A Maryland county sheriff told members of Congress on Thursday that the United States’ immigration system has reached a “crisis point.” 

“We’re at a crisis point in this country,” Sheriff Chuck Jenkins of Frederick County, Maryland, said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing called “The Expansion and Troubling Use of [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] Detention.”

“Congress needs to take serious measures right now in the enforcement of our immigration laws, both at the border and in the interior [of the country],” said Jenkins, a Republican. “These two missions have overlapping, serious impacts to public safety.” 

Jenkins was first elected in November 2006 to be the sheriff of Frederick County, which is the largest county geographically in Maryland. He was elected to a fourth term last November. 

He said one way to address the illegal immigration crisis is simply to let the Border Patrol and ICE do their job. 

“The hostility against ICE has to stop, and demonizing has to end,” Jenkins said of opposition to the federal agency from some on the left. “Detention and especially expeditious removal of criminal aliens are key components of overall public safety. It is an imperative that ICE has access to suitable detention facilities throughout the United States.”

The Frederick County lawman said illegal immigrants are to blame for much of the crime that occurs, making it a dire issue that needs to be addressed. 

“From my perspective, the infiltration of criminal aliens … and criminal gangs, such as MS-13, across our open borders and in our communities has severely endangered the public safety of every city in every county in America,” Jenkins said. “There’s been a level of violence never before experienced in this country.”

He said criminal illegal immigrants are to blame for the opioid epidemic that he says has overrun his county. 

“This situation would be much, much worse without ICE doing their job,” Jenkins said. 

“We have allowed the heroin [and] opioid trafficking networks to establish themselves across the entire country through open borders and sanctuary policies with cartels continually infusing heroin, fentanyl, and other dangerous drugs into America,” he said, noting that Frederick has seen “record numbers” of fatal overdoses in the past seven years. 

The sheriff also pushed back on claims that facilities for holding detained illegal immigrants are not up to standards. 

“The federal detention standards are the highest standards out there we meet, and we actually meet all of those standards and beyond,” he said. 

“We just recently underwent an … inspection a week ago before I came down here. Nothing in our jail is subpar. Those higher standards are met, and the standards are higher under [President Donald Trump] than under President [Barack] Obama.”

Jenkins added that “Americans are frustrated and tired of the open-border issue and not enforcing the law,” and asked the public to support Trump’s efforts to secure the border.

WHAT DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE: Overview of Crowdstrike – Firm that Claimed ‘Russia Hacked’ the US and the Ukraine – Is Now Under President Trump’s Radar

The most shocking piece in the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and the new President of Ukraine Zelensky is related to a company by the name of Crowdstrike.  Below is a summary of our reporting related to this company that is behind the false claims of Russia hacking in both the US and the Ukraine.

On Wednesday the Trump Administration released the White House transcript of President Trump’s call with President Zelensky of Ukraine.  In the transcript President Zelensky brought up Rudy Giuliani and his investigations with President Trump.

President Trump asked Zelensky to look into the 2016 election including information on Crowdstrike.

The President did not ask President Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden as was widely reported by the lying mainstream media.  But President Trump did drop the name of the company behind Russian hacking in the US and the Ukraine, Crowdstrike.

The transcript revealed President Trump is going after the origins of the Trump-Russia witch hunt.  Foreign Policy expert Tony Shaffer says this is what the left is most worried about.

Rush Limbaugh focused on this bombshell from the transcript on his Wednesday show.

Now, just a little bit more about CrowdStrike ’cause I have paid attention, there’s not a single — I haven’t seen a single report focus on CrowdStrike in this transcript. Now, I know why the Democrats are ignoring it. The Democrats are bent out of shape that Trump even knows about CrowdStrike. They think Trump’s an idiot. With Trump specifically zeroing in on CrowdStrike the Democrats have learned today, after reading that transcript, what Trump is really doing here.

Trump is soliciting assistance from allies all over the world to help Barr prove the scam run against him. That’s what’s going on. That’s what the Democrats have learned today with that word “CrowdStrike” being in the transcript. CrowdStrike, the founder of CrowdStrike is a Russian emigre who hates Putin with a purple passion. It seems to color CrowdStrike’s security work.

Prime example being when CrowdStrike claimed that the Russians had hacked the Ukraine artillery software during the time Russia was invading Ukraine. CrowdStrike claimed the Russian hack caused the Ukrainians to fire on their own troops, killing thousands of them. They were dead wrong about it! And that’s a massive thing to be wrong about. Because the only problem was Ukraine said there was no such hack and no such battle and there were no such casualties.

They said that CrowdStrike had made all of it up. And guess what? CrowdStrike withdrew its report and admitted that it was wrong. Now, this, whether it sounds like it or not, don’t doubt me, this is highly relevant to this entire Russian collusion story, which is why Trump was asking about it and why the Democrats don’t want the Ukrainians to reinvestigate it.

The reference to CrowdStrike, mark my words, is momentous in this transcript today. I know damn well the whistleblower didn’t tell the Democrats about that or they would have a different strategy laid out for this. Because another thing — don’t doubt me on this — what this really means, folks, is that Trump — he was asking for assistance on Biden, but it’s all related. What Trump actually was asking the president of Ukraine to do was to help the attorney general.

Other Deep State slayers noted this as well –

Crowstrike is lying about the DNC emails behind the Trump-Russia collusion sham being hacked by Russia –

Ann Coulter also identified this in her column this week –

The second issue the media does not want anyone to think about is CrowdStrike.

What is CrowdStrike, you ask? That is the cybersecurity firm that is the sole source of the claim that the Russians hacked the DNC’s emails — which launched the conspiracy theories that tied our country in knots for the past three years.

The Russian collusion story was originally hatched by Hillary Clinton in the summer of 2016 to cover up the utter corruption revealed by the dump of Democratic National Committee emails on Wikileaks. As was her practice whenever a scandal threatened to engulf her, Hillary rushed out and told the press to investigate something else.

And “the great story” about the DNC email hack wasn’t about a “vast right-wing conspiracy” — as she claimed when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke. No, this time, it was a vast Russian conspiracy!

At the time, the entire media laughed at Hillary’s Russian conspiracy nonsense — The New York Times, New York Newsday, the Los Angeles Times and so on. But then Trump won the election, and suddenly the Russia conspiracy seemed totally believable. What else could explain how Americans could put this boob in the White House?

The subsequent three years of breathless Russia coverage was based entirely on the word of one cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, that the DNC’s emails had been hacked by Russia.

Recall that the DNC wouldn’t allow the FBI or any other U.S. government official anywhere near its computers. That’s precisely why so many cybersecurity experts doubted that it was the Russians: The FBI was never allowed to perform its own investigation.

CrowdStrike was founded by Ukrainian Dmitri Alperovitch (now an American citizen apparently — because who isn’t?) and funded by the fanatically anti-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk.

Talk about interfering with our democracy! Alperovitch and Pinchuk sent one political party and nine-tenths of the American media off on a wild goose chase into Russian collusion that, after years of accusations, investigations and embarrassing conspiracy-mongering … turned up goose eggs.

The entire Russian insanity was launched by a couple of Ukrainians. I think a lot of us would like to get to the bottom of that.

We reported in July that one of the reasons why Google executives cried after the 2016 election is because Google invested in Crowdstrike!  In July 2015 Google invested $100 million into Crowdstrike.

We also reported that former NSA employee and whistle blower, Bill Binney, has reviewed the DNC emails released and provided online by WikiLeaks and it shows that the data coming from the DNC was not hacked (as claimed by Crowdstrike who the FBI relied on for confirmation) but rather copied to a disk or flash drive!

Binney says:

The problem with the Mueller report and the Rosenstein indictment is it’s all based on lies. I mean the fact they’re still lying about the, saying the DNC was hacked by the Russians and the Russians gave it to WikiLeaks.

Well, we had some of our people and our group, the VIPS, the Veteran Intelligence Professionals, look at the data that WikiLeaks posted on the DNC data. They actually posted the DNC data…

…that entire set of data was read to a thumb drive or a CD Rom then physically transported. Now this is what Kim Dotcom is saying. This is what Julian Assange basically was inferring. Others have been saying the same things.”

So we have known for some time that the Russians did not hack the DNC and did not provide emails to Wikileaks as the FBI claims based on information from Crowdstrike. 

It’s clear the DNC was not hacked and it’s more likely an insider like Seth Rich copied the files to a disk drive and turned them over to Wikileaks.  This is more likely than reports that the Russians hacked the DNC.

Per the transcript of President Trump’s discussion with the Ukrainian leader above, we don’t believe Crowdstrike has the DNC’s physical servers.

It sounds more like Trump is saying “server” in the same sense he used the word “wiretap” – not a literal meaning.  Crowdstrike may have the images (copies) of the hard drives, the memory dumps for some of the computing devices and the logs for networking equipment (like switches, routers, and firewalls), but not the actual DNC servers, which is really all you need. Either their “evidence” stands on its own merits or it doesn’t. The onus is on CrowdStrike now to prove their claims based on their “evidence” they have on hand regarding their assertion in the US.

The Ukraine likely doesn’t have the DNC/Podesta email servers. They have some Gmail related emails that can be analyzed to show that Crowdstrike was wrong when they alleged that the Russians hacked the Ukrainians during the separatist war.

The linkage to Ukraine is based on the number of articles that appeared around December 2016 trying to connect the DNC leak to other Russian government cyber-attacks.  The whole argument that the Russians were tracking Ukrainian artillery units by compromising android devices is nonsense. The whole publication was a coordinated effort by major news outlets like Reuters, AP, the NYT, WaPo, and others to create and manage this narrative.  Some of the claims that Crowdstrike made were:

• “the Ukrainians lost 80% of their filed artillery”
• “Ukraine’s howitzers suffered the highest percentage of loss of any … artillery pieces in Ukraine’s arsenal.”

All this turned out to be completely false. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) the losses were 10%-20%, which is in the range of any conflict where both parties use artillery.

Also the claim that the Russian malware was able to “retrieve communications” and “some locational data” from infected devices, is also not true. There are much faster/more accurate ways to track and target filed artillery than to hope that the battery team downloads an unsecured mobile phone application (which according to the developers wasn’t hacked) from an email that was flagged by Gmail as suspicious.  Just like with the DNC hack, they made up the whole thing and no one in the media challenged them or asked for a solid proof.

The details of the alleged attack in the Ukraine:

In 2016-2017, two Ukrainian developers named Dobronravin and Dmytro were providing the Ukraine military through an NGO called Army SOS with navigation software. Version 1.0 of the solution was distributed on Android tablets loaded with digital topographic maps. Version 2.0 of this solution expanded the features to including an add-on called the Network Bridge that allowed the operator to connect to other tablets via digital radio (Motorola XPR) to allow different units to exchange text messages.  It’s important to note that the tablets had no real-time GPS tracking capabilities and that these were all off-line devices.

On August 27, 2015, Dmytro’s email contacts received a phishing email impersonating his name. The email instructed them to download the latest version of the Network Bridge. Allegedly (and we don’t know this for a fact), the modified add-on in the email had the ability to intercept the text messages from the tablet.

(The phishing email)

Dmytro immediately told his users not to download the malicious add-on and sent a copy of the phishing email to a Ukrainian hacker called ‘Sean Townsend’ for analysis.  According to Dobronravin and Dmytro no one in their application user group downloaded the malware because Google flagged the email as suspicious (see image above).

It just happens to be that ‘Sean Townsend’ is connected to Crowdstrike and knows their CEO. This is how the story about the malware and artillery software got out to them.  They sat on that information for about 16 months (August 27, 2015 – December 2016) and when the whole Russia collusion story was being baked they jumped on the opportunity to reinforce the Russian role in DNC attack showing the same pattern of attack in Ukraine.

(The malicious add-in Dmytro sent to Sean Townsend in 2015)

(The artillery app published by CrowdStrike in 2016)

But as has been indicated, Crowdstrike’s report was completely bogus. Crowdstrike completely made-up the Ukrainian howitzers artillery losses and the statement that the rogue artillery app (really the Radio Bridge add-on) was to blame. The MSM was happy to spread the fake news without ever looking into the simple fact that even if this malware was installed and used, all of these tablets were offline devices without GPS functionality and the code was entirely based on a Bluetooth messaging interface–which the Motorola radio did not support.

The Ukraine doesn’t need to investigate this because they were the ones that debunked the story, so they already know all about it. The “server” referred to by President Trump has to refer to whatever the Ukrainian citizens, Alperovitch and/or Pinchuk have in their possession related to Crowdstrike’s Russia hacked the DNC sham assertions.

Crowdstrike was wrong in the Ukraine. Crowdstrike was forced to retract its false reporting there. Crowdstrike is wrong in the US and the Ukraine may have the information to prove it!

That’s what Democrats are scared to death.

Revealed: CIA Whistleblower Report Links to Soros-Funded Project Three Different Times (VIDEO)

Former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Joe diGenova and his wife and attorney Victoria Toensing to discuss the latest developments in the Democrat-media attempted coup of President Trump.

The two discussed the partisan CIA “whistleblower” attack on president Trump. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, we now know the “whistleblower” was a CIA operative, likely close to John Brennan, who was serving in the White House in order to spy on President Trump. The alleged whistleblower wrote his report based on hearsay and opinion. The report was written by seasoned lauyers. The report is already falling apart with numerous errors and lies.


During the discussion Victoria Toensing brought up the Soros connections to the whistleblower’s report.

Victoria Toensing: Sean I want to jump in here too. On these false statements how did that work? US and other people made false statements about him. Yeah, that was George Soros funded NGOs who were also in bed with the State Department… My last point here. The whistleblower sprinkles throughout his document footnotes referring to a publication with the initials OCCRP. One guess, Sean, who funds OCCRP. George Soros.

Joe diGenova: Soros’s dirty money is all over this story.

OCCRP – Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project is funded by the Soros Open Society Foundations.

The OCCRP is linked in the whistleblower report to Congress three different times in the 9 page document.

Trump: Shouldn’t Schiff resign for lying to Congress?

As Jim Geraghty wrote yesterday, get ready for the 1918 trench warfare of impeachment, where there’s lots of noise and damage but the lines barely move. The transcript of the call between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky turned out to be mostly a letdown for the media and Democrats, but the whistleblower complaint will take more time to unwind. In the meantime, shots will continue to volley across no-man’s-land, such as Trump’s call for Adam Schiff to resign:

Er … Schiff’s performance yesterday at the House Intelligence Committee hearing was embarrassing enough, but it’s pretty clear that Schiff wasn’t claiming to have read the “exact transcribed version” of the call. In fact, that was Schiff’s problem — he couldn’t sell impeachment based on the transcript, which Democrats and the media had promised would contain explicit quid pro quos and demands for cooperation. Instead, Schiff had to claim that he could deduce Mafioso emanations from penumbras between the lines, while the media used ellipses to completely distort the meaning of the text.

But having Trump call on Schiff to resign over that grandstanding and mockery is somewhat akin to Don King telling people to pipe down and act maturely. In the first place, it’s not going to happen, which makes this kind of demand look silly and impotent. It’ll charge up Trump supporters for a day or so, who will also demand that Schiff resign, all of which will have all the impact of a letter to the editor. It’s a meaningless artillery bombardment across an unimportant stretch of land — call it Schiffville — that no one really wants. It won’t move the lines an iota.

But is there a shortcut to victory in this trench warfare? Trump wondered that aloud yesterday in a quick press avail:

“What … Democrats are doing to this country is a disgrace and it shouldn’t be allowed. There should be a way of stopping it, maybe legally through the courts,” Trump said upon returning from a trip to New York where he attended the U.N General Assembly.

It’s not the first time Trump has suggested that he’d go to court to stop an impeachment. In April, just after the Mueller report had been released, Trump went on Twitter to threaten to sue the House if they began impeachment proceedings:

Would that work? Naaah. At the time, I reviewed the relevant precedents, so feel free to check the above link. Basically, however, impeachment is a political process with the House’s full authority over it enshrined in the Constitution. There is no role for the judiciary on impeachment itself, although certainly they will resolve disputes over demands for evidence and testimony, as they do now.

Unfortunately, there are no easy solutions to trench warfare, either literal or figurative in a political sense. One side generally has to fatigue first, or somehow acquire enough strength to overwhelm the other in a frontal attack. Before that happens, though, expect a lot more rhetorical bombardments with little effect.
