It’s back to Russia, Russia, Russia hype, and/or attempts to prolong the withdrawal from the empire’s longest war.

American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The United States concluded months ago that the Russian unit, which has been linked to assassination attempts and other covert operations in Europe intended to destabilize the West or take revenge on turncoats, had covertly offered rewards for successful attacks last year.

Because that just makes perfect sense…

Spokespeople at the National Security Council, the Pentagon, the State Department and the C.I.A. declined to comment.

I imagine this whole idiotic story is nothing but their fictional comment. But hey, Boomer Cons love this kind of fantasy.

Confirming Another Conspiracy

Given enough time, almost all conspiracy theories turn out to be fact. For years, some have suggested that the CIA is a major player both in organized crime and in the drug import business. A case from 1985 lends credence to the views.

Killed by a cartel. Betrayed by his own? US re-examines murder of federal agent featured in ‘Narcos’. Federal authorities assess new witness claims that a DEA official and CIA operative were tied to DEA agent Enrique Camarena’s 1985 murder in Mexico.

I’m sure there’s a lot of assessment going on, of the CYA variety. Why, again, do we have these alphabet agencies?

I need not even consult Tom Ironsides on this one. More (and more and more) lies from DC.

Walder started at Langley in 2000, at the age of 21, eventually becoming an expert in al Qaeda and chemical weapons and interviewing captured terrorist associates in the Middle East. Although she didn’t exactly look the part of a Middle East scholar, Walder writes that she had been terrified of Osama bin Laden for years, having caught a harrowing television interview with him in 1997. Then the unthinkable happened: That very same man attacked the United States on September 11, 2001.

Bullshit.

Meanwhile, in the months after 9/11, Walder says, the White House was only interested in intelligence that linked al Qaeda to Saddam Hussein. The problem? There wasn’t any.

Then, “The Girl” left the CIA FBI. In the brief time that she was in the Bureau, she might have learned that OBL was never charged with anything related to 9/11 as, like Saddam, there was nothing to link him to it. BTW, the real masterminds are still out there.

The CIA was Listening

Big surprise there. The CIA owned the sole provider of encryption technology for decades. It’s called spying and they do it (did it) very well. Tom Ironsides mentioned something about this a few meetings ago.

Things are changing, with the Chinese poised to start doing the mass listening. That might be better for average Americans, as the Chinese, even with they hear your private conservations, etc., won’t be in much of a position to do anything about it other than target you with ads.

Leave it to the deep state to brag about useless torture.

Evidence garnered from the CIA’s interrogations already cannot be used in court; the defendants also want to exclude that from parallel FBI interrogations.

All the defendants are still in the preliminary phases of their trials, which have been stalled for years by complex rules, poor administration and legal maneuvers from both sides.

“Mitchell is a big part of the reason why the victims’ families still don’t have any justice,” said Amnesty International’s Julia Hall.

“Mitchell has said he is giving this testimony for the victims and families,” she said.

“However, it is in large measure because of the torture techniques that he himself created and used on the detainees that there has been delay after delay. Evidence extracted under torture can’t be used in these proceedings.”

Other than what has been deduced by outsiders, is there any evidence to support any part of the government’s 9/11 narrative and following wars? No.

Oh, wait.

GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — For the first time, the military commission that is preparing to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who is accused of planning the Sept. 11 attacks, will focus almost exclusively on a subject that for years wasn’t allowed to be mentioned in the courtroom: torture.

On Tuesday, Mohammed is expected — also for the first time — to be in the same room with two CIA psychologists who, his lawyers say, tortured him. The encounter will occur at the start of the 40th series of pretrial hearings for Mohammed and four other defendants charged in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, in which hijacked jetliners were crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing 2,973 people and altering the course of history.

The five defendants were all captured in 2002 or 2003 and held in secret prisons overseas until they arrived at Guantánamo in late 2006. Mohammed, now 55, was captured in Pakistan and then taken to Afghanistan, Poland and Romania before being moved to Guantánamo. He was subjected to waterboarding and other brutal methods of interrogation that have now been the source of controversy across three presidencies.

2002 or 2003. That’s that speedy trial stuff right there! And, isn’t a little false flagging worth the torture? They had to alter the course of history after all.

Didn’t even make it a full two days before the same shit started in earnest. Yay! A few things:

  1. There is not, nor has there been, a siege on the US Embassy in Baghdad – which is in the “green zone,” btw. Smoke and a mob running hither and tither? Fake. There’s a book by a German journalist that … nevermind,
  2. I had just found a news article (from Asia) that starts to tell the truth about this FAKE Iran-Iraq fakery. But, instead,
  3. Trump goes and puts forth his best argument form removing himself from office (which still won’t happen). Please read those two Asia Times articles and see if you can’t pick out a pattern. Even if you can’t, you also can’t provide any valid reason for the Empire involvement in the SandBox.

2020 So Far: There is an active deep state coup against Trump. Trump does nothing about it. Trump then uses the same arguments and equipment that he could easily use to put down the coup, to instead start WW3. Gonna cut this analysis short – I’ve done this hundreds of times before.

Y’all are going to lose a carrier.

UPDATE: Iran has already filled Gen. Soleimani’s position.

UPDATE: Lindsey Graham is a goddamned idiot:

The Hidden Hand of the Coup

Not my words. Not Tom Ironsides’s. This, from a real CIA officer.

The essence of a coup, which some might refer to as covert action, is the hidden hand. One does not announce that a foreign power is overthrowing the government and installing a new government. One pulls strings as if from behind a curtain, making events that are all part of a carefully orchestrated plan appear disconnected, spontaneous and serendipitous.

As I read through the recently released IG report for the second time, as someone with a great deal of experience in military and intelligence matters, I see that hand everywhere.

Per the IG report, a single report is delivered to the FBI in the summer of 2016. It concerns a meeting between a cooperative contact of a foreign intelligence service and a junior level employee of the Trump campaign, George Papadopoulos. The report relates what are frankly very amorphous comments by Papadopoulos concerning the Russian government and its alleged possession of information on Hillary Clinton.

…

It’s like a combination of an evil version of Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand” and that wriggling spider hand from the Barrow-Downs. I imagine the fingers have initials like, I don’t know, “HRC” and “BHO.” Just guesses. Past time to designate the hand an enemy combatant and drone strike it.

Why Not Sue the CIA?

The legacy of MK Ultra lives on and it may be very costly for American manufacturers. Thank you, conservative Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has denied Remington Arms Co.’s bid to block a lawsuit filed by families of victims of the Sandy Hook school massacre. The families say Remington should be held liable, as the maker and promoter of the AR-15-style rifle used in the 2012 killings.

The court opted not to hear the gun-maker’s appeal, in a decision that was announced Tuesday morning. The justices did not include any comment about the case, Remington Arms Co. v. Soto, as they turned it away.

Remington had appealed to the highest federal court after the Connecticut Supreme Court allowed the Sandy Hook lawsuit to proceed in March. In recent court filings, Remington says the case “presents a nationally important question” about U.S. gun laws — namely, how to interpret the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which grants broad immunity to gun-makers and dealers from prosecution over crimes committed with their products.

Remington manufactured the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle that Adam Lanza used on Dec. 14, 2012, to kill 20 first-graders and six adults at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Attention, businesses of any kind. If you sell a product that someone else uses in a crime, then you may be liable. Welcome to Connecticut, 2019. How conservative to step aside and let communists set national policy! Thank you for your service.

The Conspiracy is usually a Fact, not a Theory.

No need to fret, [Redacted], whoever prepared the FBI document dump on the Finders also threw in a map produced from the execution of a search warrant on McMartin preschool in Manhattan Beach, CA.

If the name McMartin Preschool rings a bell, it’s because the school gained infamy as ground zero for the child abuse case that kicked off the so-called Satanic Panic.

360 children were alleged to have been abused at McMartin daycare. Many of the children claimed that they’d been subjected to sexual and satanic ritual abuse in a system of tunnels under the school. When investigators declared that excavations turned up nothing, the claim of secret tunnels became a byword for spurious ritual abuse claims.

Now, after a generation of ridicule, the FBI has confirmed the tunnels’ existence, vindicating the children’s testimony.

When do those military tribunals start?
