TRUMP

“I think it's pretty clear there was an effort to cover it up,” says Former CIA Deputy Director John McLaughlin.

The whistle-blower complaint, he says, “is very well done – frankly [it] has CIA analyst written all over it just the way it's written, the carefulness.”

(wie herinnert zch nog de onsmakelijke pers conf in het CIA gebouw voor de muur met gevallen CIA agetnen die ter plekke door trump werd bezoedelt?

n President Donald Trump’s first full day in office, he crossed the Potomac to visit CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he attempted to assure the intelligence professionals gathered there that nobody—nobody—cared about the agency more than he did. Of course, the people who work at the CIA are paid to see through such deception—which, in this case, may not have been terribly hard, given that Trump had just days earlier compared them to Nazis.

Trump compounded the awkwardness of this moment by choosing as his backdrop the hallowed Memorial Wall, which commemorates men and women of the CIA killed in the line of duty—and then compounded this compounding by saying casually, “Probably almost everybody in this room voted for me, but I will not ask you to raise your hands if you did.”

This encounter aptly foretold the tenor of the relationship between the CIA and this White House—uncomfortable, mutually suspicious, at times hostile.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said Wednesday that the partial transcript of President Trump's call with Ukraine’s president released by the Trump administration doesn’t show a “compelling” case for impeachment.

The whistleblower is a C.I.A. officer who was detailed to work at the White House; he has since returned to the C.I.A., NYT reports.

Whistleblower complaint

New York Tims bericht :
Trump told staff from he US mission to the United Nations that he wants to now who provided info to the whistleblower, saying that whoever did so was 'close to a spy' and that 'in the old days', spies were dealt with differently.

Trump wil weten wie er uit de school heeft geklapt. En mensen die dat doen zijn 'spionnen'.
En daar werden in oude tijden korte metten mee gemaakt.
Trump voelt zich aangevallen.
Dus Trump is nu op oorlogspad naar mensen in zijn groep die hem hebben afgevallen.

The remark stunned people in the audience, according to a person briefed on what took place, who had notes of what the president said.

The event was closed......and during his remarks, the president called the news media 'scum'(uitschot) in addition to labeling them as crooked.

Mooi, dus de NYT geeft aanwijzingen wie de fluiter zou kunnen zijn, en trump zegt dat hij geexecuteerd moet worden...
Gelukkig is zijn aanhang heel stabiel, redelijk en voorzichtig met andermans leven.

Ach, Marc Thiessen heeft weer een mening:

Remember when Democrats insisted that President Trump was “working on behalf of the Russians,” only to have special counsel Robert S. Mueller III declare he "did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities"?

Well, we now have the rough transcript for Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and it’s clear that, once again, Democrats got ahead of the evidence.

Keep in mind, when this story broke, The Post reported that “two former U.S. officials” said “Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a ‘promise’ that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint" (emphasis added). Well, it turns out Trump makes no “promise” anywhere in the transcript. He makes no threats, either. Indeed, it was Zelensky who raised the issue of investigating corruption, not Trump. “We wanted to drain the swamp here in our country … You are a great teacher for us and in that,” he told the president.

AD

NBC’s Katy Tur claimed that the transcript shows Trump said, “Will you do me a favor and investigate Vice President Biden’s son?" No, he didn’t. When Trump asked Zelensky to “do us a favor,” it had nothing to do with Biden. According to the transcript, he was asking Zelensky to cooperate with an official Justice Department investigation into the origins of the Mueller probe that is being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, a career prosecutor. A Justice Department spokesman says Durham is “exploring the extent to which a number of countries, including Ukraine, played a role in the counterintelligence investigation directed at the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.”

WASHINGTON — President Trump expressed disgust Thursday morning with the explosive whistleblower complaint, slamming the intelligence officer and the White House aides who helped him or her as “almost a spy” and suggested it was treason.
Speaking at a private event in New York, Trump described reporters as “scum” and raged at the Democrats’ new impeachment proceedings, which were spurred by the whistleblower’s complaint alleging that Trump tried to strong-arm Ukraine’s leader to interfere in the 2020 election.

The still-unidentified whistleblower acknowledged that he did not listen to Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, but cited information from more than half a dozen U.S. officials over the past four months as part of “official interagency business.”

“Basically, that person never saw the report, never saw the call, he never saw the call — heard something and decided that he or she, or whoever the hell they saw — they’re almost a spy,” Trump said.

“I want to know who’s the person, who’s the person who gave the whistleblower the information? Because that’s close to a spy,” he continued. “You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now.”

Trump spoke at a private event at the Intercontinental Hotel in New York, where the president thanked the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, and her staff as he wound up four days of meetings around the U.N. General Assembly.

Beetje rare gang van zaken, dat telefoongesprekken van Trump met leiders in de wereld op schrift komen en ergens in een la worden gelegd die toegankelijk is voor bepaalde personen.
Een Democraat gaat het schrift zitten lezen en schrikt. Rent naarbuiten en roept van de daken, dat Trump wat meer wilde weten van Joe Biden en zijn zoon in de Oekraine i.v.m zijn eventuele herverkiezing. Alle Democraten in rep en roer.
Leiders die met Trump telefoneren zullen beter gaan opletten wat men zegt. Wordt opgenomen op band en op schrift gesteld. Op zich niet erg maar zorg dan dat er niemand bij kan. En zeker geen Democraat , die je voor geen meter kunt vertrouwen.

eveniets anders (en toch ook weer niet)

The Federalist (een naam die in rechts-idiote kringen wel eens vaker opduikt)

Climate Worship Is Nothing More Than Rebranded Paganism
We're seeing sexualized dances, hallucinogens, worshiping nature, confessing sins in pagan animism, worshiping purified teen saints, all to promote a supposedly greater cause.
Sumantra Maitra By Sumantra Maitra
SEPTEMBER 26, 2019
Lynn Townsend White Jr., an American historian from Princeton, wrote an influential essay in 1967, at the height of the cultural revolution in Western campuses, arguing that Christianity and Judeo-Christian values are responsible for ecological disaster and climate change. The essay, naturally, was adapted by generations after, ironically almost like a document of faith.

The central argument went like this. White argued, “The victory of Christianity over paganism was the greatest psychic revolution in the history of our culture. … By destroying pagan animism, Christianity made it possible to exploit nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of natural objects.”

If nothing else, the last few days should be enough to prove that Western civilization, a product of more than 1,500 years of Judeo-Christian values, is facing its most significant and sustained challenge in centuries from tribalistic paganism, a force that seeks not only to turn back time but essentially to destroy the entire current edifice.

Greta Thunberg and the Church of Mother Earth
As secular liberalism destroyed the fundamental ties that bind society — faith, flag, and family — the human instincts for faith — to believe, worship, submit, and fear — didn’t just go away but manifested in various other pre-civilized tribal ways. For example, a liberal seminary encouraged its students to skip classes to pray and confess sins in front of potted plants. In Switzerland, 250 people in full funereal garb mourned the apparent approaching death of a glacier.

That is why members of “Extinction Rebellion” do what they do. Extinction Rebellion is an apocalyptic cult that wants to radically end every thing around you, from your private cars to the burgers you eat and the plastic chairs in your yard. It is a cult that was formed after its founder took psychedelic drugs and prayed for “social change.” Members have blocked D.C. and London intersections, “twerking” the way people in a pre-civilized era would perform a fertility dance to pray to Gaia.

And then there’s Saint Greta, our perpetual teen of sorrow. I have been comparing her worship to Joan of Arc ever since she was invited to the British Parliament, the birthplace of modern democracy. She was surrounded by buffoons nodding their heads like they were listening to gospel truth.

Ik hoop van ganser harte dat je poogt middels lichte luim ons te verleiden tot een grimlach :-)

Mocht je dit echter serieus geloven, dan zou ik je willen aanraden niet langer op de zwarte strepen van het zebrapad te stappen, want daar zitten de krokodillen!

Beetje raar verhaal wat je nu vertelt.
Er is geen democraat geweest die het telefoongesprek, op schrift , heeft gevonden en gelezen.

Het ontbreekt niet aan fantasie.
Vraag eens aan die trollen in St Petersburg of ze geen beter verhaaltje kunnen verzinnen.

Oh Rudy....

Rudy Giuliani: ‘You Should Be Happy for Your Country That I Uncovered This’
President Trump’s personal attorney unleashes in a new phone call with The Atlantic while Trump allies turn on him.

When I last saw Rudy Giuliani for lunch, at the Trump International Hotel in Washington four weeks ago, his most pressing concern was that he had been locked out of his Instagram account. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and current personal attorney to President Donald Trump, had a young woman named Audra, who told me she had won the “hottiesfortrump” Reddit channel’s “Miss Deplorable” contest three years in a row, there to assist him. As Giuliani and I spoke, roughly a dozen tourists asked him to pose for photos and congratulated him on the “work” he was doing for the country.

Today, Giuliani, and specifically his “work” on behalf of the president’s 2020 reelection campaign, is a key part of a whistle-blower complaint describing alleged efforts to solicit foreign interference in the upcoming election—perhaps the most damning scandal of the Trump presidency to date. The complaint alleges that White House officials sought to “lock down” all records of Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which Trump offered the help of Attorney General William Barr and Giuliani to investigate the dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter in the country. It also alleges that State Department officials were “deeply concerned” about Giuliani’s subsequent conversations with Ukrainian leaders.

Even among the president’s closest allies, Giuliani is now the subject of scorn. When I reached him by phone this morning, following House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s release of the full whistle-blower complaint at the center of the Ukraine scandal, he was, put simply, very angry.

“It is impossible that the whistle-blower is a hero and I’m not. And I will be the hero! These morons—when this is over, I will be the hero,” Giuliani told me.

I’m not acting as a lawyer. I’m acting as someone who has devoted most of his life to straightening out government,” he continued, sounding out of breath. “Anything I did should be praised.”
