* How come no mention of former Congresswomen Jane Harman, who was a member of the panel on intelligence, agreeing to act for an Israeli operative in exchange for pressure through a donor on Pelosi to appoint her chair of the intelligence panel? This was learned through an NSA wiretap in 2005.
* Perhaps this is where Hillary makes some sort of deal with the NSA just prior to the ’16 election, a la “Ok, you guys know what to do. When I’m elected you’ll receive an unlimited budget, and total complete control on wiretaps etc if you’ll just promise to:
1. Keep my stuff that you have under wraps for at least the second yr of my second term (ca. 2022).
2. Give me the juiciest bits that you have on Trump in his file so I can use it this yr. during the campaign. I can then discretely have the NYT/DC Post “accidentally” dig it up on their own so that it makes them look like they found it themselves with no direct connection to my campaign. Caveat: Uh, just make sure that Bill isn’t directly involved or else there’s no win for me. I mean, I sure can’t have the NYT brandish a story about Bill and Donald going to some luxurious getaway to pick up teens/early twentysomethings together cause that would nullify any direct political points that might come my way. Plus it would only serve to confuse both sides (e.g. Family Values crazies and the loony Liberal base of which I’m so dependent on to come out and vote for me in the fall).
So remember: Only give me the juiciest bits on Trump that the NYT/Post can suddenly discover just a few days before the election. Has to be juicy, plausible, and of course, damaging to him without directly involving Bill. Maybe something like the Firefly scout plot point in David Mamet’s Wag the Dog thriller. Something along those lines.
Whatever you’ve got on The Donald, I want it. Whatever it takes to keep you guys happy, it will be worth it, and that’s my promise. After all, you guys listen in on all the secrets.
* Sailer Echo Syndrome: Alex Jones is starting to talk about the Gulen Cult, and is doing it in a way that makes me think he’s reading your old posts about Gulen, the Poconos, charter schools and government contracts.
* Does anyone know the specific reasoning behind Obama not wanting to go to war with Iran? (I know the obvious reasons, of course, but they didn’t seem to stop George W. Bush in Iraq. I would like to know what exactly makes Obama anti-Iranian war). Also, does anyone know why the mere knowledge of Israeli influence on a US lawmaker is enough for the White House to defeat the Israeli tactic of influencing US lawmakers? Is it just that the administration and its catspaws in Congress have the repartees ready in advance for every talking point of the Israeli-dominated bloc in Congress? Clearly the Obama administration is not taking this information to the press in an attempt to win the public’s sympathy, that is, releasing the names of specific US lawmakers who are controlled by Israel. I guess my question is, how did this US surveillance work to keep us out off Iran?
* I know people who were involved in that 1970s effort to bring Soviet Jews to the US. One of the interesting bits of that saga is that the Israelis were constantly trying to sabotage their efforts. The Israelis wanted the Soviet Jews to come to Israel instead.
* Speaking of Maxwell, the English satirical Private Eye had a long running fight with Maxwell, whom they nicknamed Captain Bob (he was an avid sailor)- careful on the spelling there, Jones. He sued them for libel numerous times and they took to incorporating a new legal vehicle for each Issue at one point if they had good stuff on him.
They of course had the last word, after he was found drowned after falling, drunk, off his boat, the PE headline was
“Captain Bob, Bob, Bob”
The word around town at the time was that Maxwell had been “suicided.”
* The fact that the NSA spies on everyone means that one has to assume that government is largely conducted by blackmail. I don’t know if that is true or not – but it has to be assumed as a possibility.
Do we even know who runs the NSA? I mean who really runs it. How do we know they don’t sell their intelligence to the highest bidder? How do we know they don’t spend a considerable fraction of their working day engaged in day trading, using the best possible inside information?
