So we find out five years later, what we all knew was true. The Steele Dossier was propaganda that was either purchased without knowledge that it was false, or the payment was for the production of this propaganda. So the propaganda was either paid for after it was produced, or the production of the propaganda happened after the payment. And the Media was driving the get away car for the Clinton Campaign. They ignored what we knew from the start. But here is what really irks me.
The punishment meted out by Federal Election Commission was: “The Clinton Campaign agreed to pay an $8,000 fine while the DNC agreed to pay $105,000, and both promised not to violate the requirements in the future.” So they “agreed” to pay what amounts to “walking around money”. That is like me paying a fine of ten cents for a speeding ticket! That isn’t enough to keep me from speeding again. But they also “promised” they wouldn’t do it again. They are laughing at this. the Clintons and the DNC should have said, “Here is a check for double the amount, to prepay the fine for the next time we do this. The legal system is a joke. Different rules for insiders than outsiders.
Lets say it like it is. The FBI is really the KGB. Just another example of bureaucrats abusing their power.
Here is a quote from the article: “Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Judiciary Ranking member Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote letters Monday pressing the Department of Justice for answers after an internal FBI audit found that agents violated rules at least hundreds of times over a year and a half.“
If there were that many violations, “found” (how many have not been found?), in a year and a half. How many violations do you think occurred over the last five years? Especially knowing about what the FBI, aka (KGB), the CIA and The Justice Department did with the Russian collusion farce. Do you think the Justice department has any interest in investigating an entity that they helped break the law?
If we call the FBI the KGB. We should call The CIA the GRU. The GRU was the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Soviet Union. Its job was to collect and handle military and political intelligence from sources outside the Soviet Union. So the FBI and KGB deal with domestic intelligence. And the CIA and GRU deal with foreign intelligence. Our FBI and CIA are corrupt bureaucracies. They are abusing their power.
This CIA official lied when he said the Hunter laptop looked like Russians were involved. Just as the FBI lied when they pushed the Steele Dossier. Nothing will happen. These agencies and the Justice department are protecting each other.
Another example of the inefficiencies of bureaucracies. Public funded bureaucracies have no incentive to watch their bottom line, like businesses have to in the market.
Here is a quote from the article: “The agency said in announcing the change that taking a cruise will always pose some risk of COVID-19 transmission but “travelers will make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings.”
Shouldn’t this have been the policy reguarding COVID from the start? Allow people to assess their own risk. If we would have done this, we wouldn’t be in the economic mess we are in right now. People want to blame our economic problems on COVID. But it was Governments response to COVID, not COVID, that blew up our economy.
I don’t know how to explain this. So lets just quote the article: “TSA also said the new standards will go into effect after the implementation of new technology that will in part replace the current, gender-based system, which will be more accurate and “advance civil rights and improve the customer experience of travelers who previously have been required to undergo additional screening due to alarms in sensitive areas.” But wait. There’s more: “Over the coming months, TSA will move swiftly to implement more secure and efficient screening processes that are gender neutral, as well as technological updates that will enhance security and make TSA PreCheck® enrollment more inclusive,” agency Administrator David Pekoske said. “These combined efforts will greatly enhance airport security and screening procedures for all.”
This should make the pat downs more enjoyable for everybody!
In a presidential election that was decided by a little over 20,000 votes. 137,500 votes were unlawfully trafficked! “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for“!
No matter how much evidence comes forward proving wrong doing by the deep state starting with the FBI. I know people who will never believe individuals in government used their power to get rid of him. But the evidence can’t be denied.
These individuals in government, included President Obama, couldn’t allow Flynn to be Trumps National Security Advisor. Why? Because he was Obama’s Director Of Defense Intelligence Agency and knew too much. He also understood the intelligence community, which meant he could see what Obama’s FBI, DOJ, and CIA had done and were still doing.
When you look at the Flynn case, think of The Duke Lacrosse Rape case and Prosecutor Michael Nifong. Do you remember that Nifong was disbarred and convicted for contempt of court. Why? Prosecutorial misconduct. He failed to turn over exculpatory evidence to defense attorneys (click here). That is what the prosecutors did to Flynn. But what the FBI did is worse.
I know these articles won’t change some peoples minds about this case. But if you are interested in knowing what government is capable of doing to you, read these.
The FBI, and other individuals in the food chain, thought they would get away with this. They probably would have if they would have not gone after Flynn once they got him fired.
Never trust individuals who have the ability to use government power. Even though they are portrayed as ‘public servants’ they aren’t. They serve their self interest which is to keep and grow their power.
It blows me away that some people are just hearing about the corruption in this case. Many of us have known all of this was B.S. for three years.
“Whether or not there were individuals or factions within the agency that wanted to attack Trump, what the FBI did to Flynn is normal FBI behavior for interviewing suspects. They’ve been doing it for decades. (Remember Martha Stewart?)”
“Federal statute 18 USC 1001 makes it a crime to lie to the feds on a “material” matter, even if the FBI already knows the truth, aren’t misled, and the lie doesn’t affect the investigation. This incentivizes the FBI to play these games in the first place, to try to trick suspects into a lie that could be used against them.”
“If we lived in a fair and just world, most of the current media would simply go away and try something else.”
“The problem is not that reporters are human and therefore sometimes err. The rub is not even that they are poorly educated or rarely write well.”
“We also expect officials to leak one-sided stories and then the media to print them without edits. These are all things baked into the media cake and the public understands, even if it does not quite accept them.”
“The crisis instead is that they are now almost always wrong, and predictably wrong because they are lazy and biased—and they deny it to the point of self-delusion. The result is that, for all practical purposes, journalists no longer exist for the general public as sources of news.”
“More than half the country now assumes that the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, the networks, and the cable news outlets are culpable not of merely failing to tell the truth but of being incapable of telling the truth. Even if they wished to, or had the skills to report empirically and dispassionately, they simply cannot, given their investments in the progressive agenda, and its investments in them. In other words, they are owned—creatures of that agenda.”
“Sometimes the truth is like mythical kryptonite. It radiates power and yet promises great destruction. And so reality is to be left alone, encased in lead, and kept at bay.”
“One of the most depressing aspects of the coronavirus epidemic has been the failure of the credentialed class — the alphabetic transnational and federal health organizations, the university modelers, the professional associations, and their media enablers. Their collective lapse was largely due to hubris and the assumption that titles and credentials meant they had no need to accept input and criticism from those far more engaged in the physical world — they saw no need to say, “At this time, I confess we are as confused as you are.”
“In sum, the ER doctors, the nurses, and the public in general all eagerly welcomed the research of the experts. But the reverse — in which experts would listen to those with firsthand experience — was not true. The asymmetrical result is that we all have paid a terrible price in misjudging the perfidy of China; the rot within the World Health Organization; the origins, transmission, infectiousness, and lethality of the virus; and the most effective, cost-to-benefit response to the epidemic in terms of saving lives lost to the infection versus the likely even more lives lost through the response.”
“The problem was not just that we were supposed to accept expert, scientific, loud gospel on Monday, which grew muted and doubtful on Tuesday, and in near silence became impossible on Wednesday.”
“In addition, our experts learned nothing and forgot nothing, and so repeated their entire cycle of credentialed haughtiness on Thursday.”

“Fifty years ago, I helped organize Earth Day #1 programs on my college campus, calling attention to serious pollution problems that afflicted much of the USA. Over the ensuing decades, laws, regulations, and changed attitudes, practices and technologies Reduced most of that pollution, often dramatically.”
“I didn’t buy the 1970 end-is-nigh, doom-and-gloom, billions-will-die hysteria that Ron Stein and Ron Bailey recapture so deliciously, including the manmade global cooling crisis. I don’t buy it today, either – certainly not this year’s Earth Day focus on the alleged man made global warming crisis, also blamed on emissions of carbon dioxide and water vapor, the same gases that humans and animals exhale, and plants use to grow. We’re told the crisis is unprecedented, and poses existential threats to humanity and planet.”
“What I find fascinating in all this is the steadfast, often nasty determination of scientists, politicians and interest groups promoting alarmist themes – and profiting immensely from them – to reject and deny any science, history and evidence that undermines their claim that nothing like this ever happened before.”
“Growing up fatherless, or with a father a son rarely sees due to divorce or workaholism (yes, that’s a thing), almost invariably stunts a boy’s growth. The end result is almost always too much mother, which means boys will absorb too much femininity and none of the masculinity they need. Ergo, he will spend years trying to figure out what it means to be a man.”
“It’s a tough subject, and thus taboo. But at some point, we will have to answer why there are so few strong, grounded, purposeful men among us when they used to be a dime a dozen. Video games have nothing to do with it.”
“We have a hard time in this country acknowledging the problems that plague our boys and men; we’re too focused on women and girls to notice. But women suffer, and currently do suffer, just as much from men’s failure to launch as do men themselves. We know this because we’re forever hearing women ask where all the good men have gone.”
We’re Witnessing A Complete Breakdown In Western Values, at theburningplatform.com. Excerpt from the article: “The West adopted core values, like the sacrosanct protection of private property; the ability for an individual to work hard and build wealth; and spirited intellectual debate. This is how western civilization became the most prosperous that history has ever seen. Now people know they’re getting screwed. and they are. They just don’t know why. They have no idea how central bankers who conjure money out of thin air have rigged the entire economy against them. So they blame “capitalism” and naturally embrace its opposite socialism.”

The Market Is True Democracy, by Matthew McCaffery, at mises.org. Quote from Ludwig von Mises: “It would be more correct to say that a democratic constitution is a scheme to assign to the citizens in the conduct of government the same supremacy the market economy gives them in their capacity as consumers. However, the comparison is imperfect. In the political democracy only the votes cast for the majority candidate or the majority plan are effective in shaping the course of affairs. The votes polled by the minority do not directly influence politics. But on the market no vote is cast in vain. Every penny spent has the power to work upon the production processes.”

Ludwig von Mises - "Inflation and credit expansion are the means to obfuscate the fact that there prevails a nature-given scarcity of the material things on which the satisfaction of human wants depends.

Greed for power is no less dangerous than greed for money, and has historically shed far more blood in the process."
Quote
Peter Earle - "In a world of infinate desires and limited means, choices must be made; a study of history and economics reveals that, while markets make no promises, they never lie.
