Republican hide classified memo of FBI soft coup attempt.
"Many Americans do not seem to understand what is at stake. What America is confronted with is a coup conspiracy organized by top officials of the Obama Justice Department, FBI, CIA, the Hillary DNC, and the presstitute media to overturn the result of a democratic election and remove the president from office. The basis of the coup is a fake dossier purchased for money that consists of unsupported allegations against Trump and that was used to obtain warrants from the FISA count to spy on Trump and various associates hoping to find something that can be used against Trump. Regardless, the false allegations could be fed to the CIA’s media assets and used to create a scandal requiring a special prosecutor to investigate Russiagate. Once the investigation was underway, the presstitutes kept the scandal alive hoping to convince enough Americans that Trump must have done something—“where there is smoke, there is fire”—that justifies his removal."It'll come out. More. More.

Trump, Durbin, immigration and the alleged sh**hole comment. I still think this is a distraction from the real evil going on, probably expanding surveillance powers.

Documents prove western leaders promised Soviets they would not expand NATO eastward.

CIA false flag accused in coordinated drone attack against Russian base in Syria.
"On the Syrian attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week at a meeting with senior Russian media executives that the culprit was not Turkey even though the drones were initiated from the northern Syrian province of Idlib where Turkish military forces are associated with militant groups.That sounds like the CIA.
“The attacks were provocations to destroy relations between Russia, Turkey and Iran. They were provocateurs, but they were not Turks,” said Putin."

A top congressman admits the CIA, NSA, and FBI cannot be trusted with the intelligence they collect on Americans.
"Yet Nunes voted to enhance federal bulk surveillance powers.Trump changed his mind because spies rule over all. This vote happened while the press promoted Trump’s supposed “sh**hole” comment claimed by Sen. Durbin.
Bulk surveillance – which is prohibited by the Constitution – is the acquisition of digital versions of telephone, email and text communications based not on suspicion or probable cause but rather on geography or customer status. As I have written before, one publicly available bulk surveillance warrant was for all Verizon customers in the United States; that’s 115 million people, many of whom have more than one phone and at least one computer. And it is surveillance of Americans, not foreigners as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act contemplates.
How did this happen?
It happened in the dark. The NSA has persuaded the FISC, which meets in secret and only hears the government’s arguments, to permit it to spy on any American it wishes on the theory that all Americans know someone who knows someone else who knows someone who could have spoken to a foreign person working for a foreign government that could wish us ill."

Whaley drops out of governor's race.
"“Not only was Good Sam an economic anchor to northwest Dayton, but they also were a neighborhood stabilizer,” said Dayton City Manager Shelley Dickstein. “We are gravely concerned about an exit of that anchoring presence.”"Everybody should be concerned. Founding.
Whaley drops out of governor's race.
"“Nan Whaley and the other early candidates - Connie Pillich, Betty Sutton, Joe Schiavoni - all suffered from a lack of statewide name recognition,” said University of Dayton political scientist Christopher Devine. “As long as they were the only candidates in the race, Whaley had a chance. That changed when Cordray entered the race, given that he has won statewide office, has a national profile, and can tap into a wider network of campaign donors.”"Sounds like the Democrat party issued marching orders. Since they're winning elections everywhere, they don't want to waste this opportunity to possibly oust Kasich.

Our justice system is about profit, not justice.
"Whether you’re talking about the government’s war on terrorism, the war on drugs, or some other phantom danger dreamed up by enterprising bureaucrats, there is always a profit-incentive involved.Don't forget asset forfeiture.
The same goes for the war on crime.
At one time, the American penal system operated under the idea that dangerous criminals needed to be put under lock and key in order to protect society. Today, the flawed yet retributive American “system of justice” is being replaced by an even more flawed and insidious form of mass punishment based upon profit and expediency.
Sessions’ latest gambit plays right into the hands of those who make a profit by jailing Americans."

"Talking to young people in places such as Kashan or Mashhad showed me how solid the popular base was behind the Islamic Republic experiment. It was certainly more thought-provoking than listening to ayatollahs in Qom.Apparently other countries are not.
Still, what is happening now in Iran is that legitimate protests related to economic hardships have been hijacked by the usual suspects in a move to influence the minority. After all, Rouhani’s administration is comparatively liberal compared to the populist Ahmadinejad government.
So, what we have is a concerted attempt to turn legitimate protests into a “revolutionary” movement with the aim of bringing about a regime change. In all practical purposes, this would be civil war.
Well, it will simply not work. Anyone familiar with Iran knows the country’s civil society is far too sophisticated to fall into such a crude and obvious trap."
