Manhattan Madam worked as web designer...

I just heard on 11th Hour that Manhattan Madam worked for years as a web designer with Roger Stone and on other internet projects as well. Anyone else hear this? Or know about it?

Bank Fraud...

From the article:

Court rules 20 yr old docs unsealed re Trump &

Felix Sater

http://washingtonpress.com/2018/02/10/federal-court-just-unsealed-trumps-20-year-old-dirty-secrets/

I think the journalist’s name is Grant Stern. The link to the article also has a link to the court ruling.

Per the article there is info re Trump Soho and also Felix Sater using back channels to advise Trump or be a liaison to Trump. Also Felix Sater involved with Ukraine.

I recall hearing about this guy on TRMS.

It seems to me the powers that be are waiting for

tRump to start firing people. Of course I have no way of knowing but it feels like we are watching some extreme game of chicken (I hate that term and never liked the game). Actually, more accurately, maybe we’re watching multiple layers of games of chicken.

There seems to be a palpable sense of waiting.

And knowing how guilty tRump is acting and how desperate he is to stop this investigation it wouldn’t be unlikely for him to start firing everyone he thinks endangers him.

I just get the feeling that behind the scenes forces are ready and waiting. Just a thought.

Did anyone catch the segment Rachel did abt

the 3 ruskies who are prohibited from entering the country were given visas against sanctions to get in? She said they called Rex Tillerson’s ofc to see if he made this happen and his ofc said visas were confidential and no comment. The question is yet unanswered.

Anyone have any take-aways on the segment if you saw it?

For months Ive been trying to figure out

if we are living in the series Blacklist or Man in the High Castle? Perhaps this environment is a hybrid of these two.

The Man in the High Castle analogy seems self explanatory; maybe the Blacklist reference is also but the Blacklist idea is revolting and fascinating kind of like the series. Basically I often wonder if these GOP characters in our government aren’t like many characters in Blacklist who do horrible things and some good things reminding us that people are imperfect fatally flawed humans.

My guess Trump knows Nunes altered

the memo and Trump approved said changes as they are working together and have been working together since the beginning.

If I am correct then Trump will have to choose to protect Nunes or leave him flapping in the wind and we know how self-serving Trump is.

Just a thought.

You know, it surely seems odd, all these

KGOPers “not seeking re-election” I mean certainly the writing is on the wall regarding the political climate they are in with the majority of their constituents that they have shafted, still, it is as if they are getting legal advice to step down NOW. Or, perhaps they are being otherwise advised that it would be in their best interest to exit due to the possibility of accountability in some circumstances they may have been involved in, hypothetically speaking of course. Either way, and whatever is driving these departures, I don’t believe for a second these 30+ Republicans would be leaving on their own. I mean, no way, they just decided nonchalantly for no serious reason to leave in droves. It’s as if their hands are tied or they’re being somehow convinced to go NOW. Something and/or someone behind the scenes is working to motivate these resignations.

What a curiosity this is.

James Carville called it on Nov 8, 2016

I cannot yet find a video clip but I recall watching “election” coverage 11/8/16 and in the wee hours when it was called for tRump I remember hearing James Carville say, “it’s a coup, it’s a g—damn coup” I think that’s what he exclaimed.

Anyone else recall this? Have a transcript or video clip?

I was thinking today that James Carville called it first; meaning he is the first one I recall using the word “coup” maybe he said “coup d’etat” but definitely “coup” and he made such an impression on me that the word was imprinted, like indelibly stamped in my mind. That night I wasn’t clear what he meant but over these past months it became more distinct and certainly it is crystal clear now.

Excerpt
Carville Blows Up On MSNBC Anchor: Our Democracy Is Under Assault By Comey, The KGB And Republicans

CARVILLE:

[snip]

So American democracy is really under attack here. And the question is how are we and in particular and how are Democrats going to respond to this. We have to understand this is really, really quite extraordinary. And it would seem to me that the FBI shouldn’t be getting rolled by the House Republicans and that’s what happened here. There is nothing going on and in the meantime we do know that our democracy is under assault by the KGB. To me, that’s something we ought to be talking about. That’s a relevant issue in this campaign. And people have to decide do we want our country for ourselves with the people in charge or are we going to elect the the KGB and the House Republicans to decide this election.

It seems Carville has been vindicated.

Has anyone here seen this

[link:http://www.investigaterussia.org|

I just found it today. It seems to have lots of info. I looked at the board members, the glossary of relevant terms, timelines, investigations, and more.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it. Perhaps it isn’t new to you?
