IT’S OFFICIAL: PUTIN WANTED TRUMP TO WIN
Vladimir Putin is ruthless.
Vladimir Putin is capable of murder.
Vladimir Putin is insatiably nationalistic.
Is Vladimir Putin stupid? Wouldn’t it be great if most of our politicians were that kind of stupid?!
Is Vladimir Putin an idiot? Same answer, basically.
Putin’s dilemma, prior to November, 2016: “Do I want Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to be elected president of the United States?”
It’s widely held that Hillary Clinton’s presidency would be tantamount to Barack Obama’s third term. What gains did Russia achieve during the eight years of Obama: No American political figure did more to enable Putin’s predatory behavior than President Obama.
• In 2009, Obama started off by canceling President Bush’s missile defense program for Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. This betrayal demoralized and antagonized our most reliable European allies.
• Obama’s insane New START nuclear arms control agreement with Russia that Mitt Romney rightly labeled as one of the Obama administration’s worst foreign policy mistakes.
• The Ukrainian territory of Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation on 18 March 2014.
• Since 2014, Russia has made significant advances into Eastern Ukraine.
• Obama’s reticence allowed the situation in Syria to deteriorate to the point where Putin saw it as an invitation for Russia to get involved.
• Obama failed to act or even to inform the American people when it was reported that Russia had hacked our 2016 election.
• Obama’s misrepresentation of ISIS as “The JV Team” allowed Radical Islamic Terrorism to proliferate in the Mid East to the point where it was virtually out-of-control.
There’s more; I’ve merely scratched the surface.
Then there’s Hilarious, whose initial venture as Secretary of State under Obama was to present a big, red “reset” button to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a meeting at Foggy Bottom, ostensibly to restart the U.S.-Russia relationship. Both participants in this infantile venture had a good laugh at the Russian word, "peregruzka", that was affixed to this symbolic gift. It was presumably intended that this would be the Russian word for "reset" but actually was the word for "overcharged". Apparently, instead of consulting someone fluent in the contemporary Russian language, Hillary must have conferred with someone who said he took a course in Rudimentary Russian in high school.
Then there’s Mrs. Clinton’s involvement in the Uranium One deal, in which 20 percent of the United States’ uranium interests were transferred to Russia. Don’t forget: Uranium is elementary in the production of Nuclear Weapons!!
Summing up: Would Vladimir rather deal with President Hillary, who he knew he could manipulate and play like a dime-store ukulele, or would he rather tangle with President Trump, a world-class negotiator and dealmaker, who had campaigned on his vow to rebuild the military that Obama seemed dedicated to reduce to pre-WWII levels, restore President Bush’s missile defense program for Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, re-establish NATO as a viable force, reverse Obama’s energy-dependent policy to become an energy competitor with Russia and to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
Vladimir’s momma didn’t raise no idiots.
His intentions were, and are, crystal clear.

"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."
***********************************************
RUSSIAGATE
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?
You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."
Former Senator Al D’Amato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. D’Amato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran.
Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran!
Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, “What?”
It’s true.
In January 2013, Pravda celebrated the Russian atomic energy agency’s purchase of the company “Uranium One” in Canada.
That same company, Uranium One, owned uranium concessions in the United States. Because uranium is a strategically important commodity, the Russians would need approval from the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, before the purchase took place.
Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.
The Clintons took the cash from Uranium One officials before the deal was approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed with the Obama administration wherein she promised and agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure as Secreatary of State. (Via Breitbart)
The New York Times reported on the crooked deal in 2015.
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And then there’s this...
Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told Greta Van Susteren the deal Hillary approved gave Putin ownership of 20 percent of US uranium and Russia sells uranium to unfriendly countries, including Iran.
______________________________________________________________
Remember those side deals Obama forged with Iran that were not part of the text of the official treaty? Now we are finding out some of the details.
Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Iranian officials confirmed they have received at least $10 billion in cash, commodities, and assets from Washington since 2013. And that is likely a conservative estimate.
But cash is not the only thing the Islamic Republic of Iran is receiving for gracing us with their willingness to sign onto our own capitulation. The AP is reporting that Russia, with the support of President Obama, is shipping Iran 116 metric tons of natural uranium.
While Iranian officials have obviously declined to disclose the use of such uranium, AP notes that this is enough to enrich weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs:
“Despite present restrictions on its enrichment program, however, the amount of natural uranium is significant should Iran decide to keep it in storage, considering its potential uses once some limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities start to expire in less than a decade.
David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Iran’s nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, “depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon.” ...”

As part of just-inaugurated President Obama’s new foreign policy to improve relations between the United States and Russia, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009. Meeting in her hotel’s Salon Panorama in Geneva, she presented him with a small gift box containing a bright red button symbolizing the Obama administration’s desire to “reset” the relationship between the two governments.
Thus began an effort to transfer American technology to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own “Silicon Valley,” called Skolkovo. In a report released in late July by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) entitled From Russia With Money, authors Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweitzer reviewed the long sordid history of the technology transfer from companies such as Google, Intel, and Cisco of hi-tech technology with useful military applications.
The report quoted warnings from the FBI and the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth that the transfer would work against American interests. Warned the U.S. Army:
[The “reset” would serve as] a vehicle for world-wide technology transfers to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.
It was clearly a “quid pro quo” arrangement: 17 of the 28 companies involved in the technology transfer gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation or to Bill Clinton for giving some speeches.
When those authors, both of whom are affiliated with Breitbart News, summed up their conclusions, one question remained: “The GAI investigative report says it’s unclear how much, if any, money [John] Podesta made.” Podesta, having served the Clintons for years, first as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and then as counselor to President Obama and finally as Hillary’s campaign chairman, deserved a payoff.
But it wasn’t clear until the latest batch of e-mails provided by WikiLeaks went public last week that Americans now know. For his efforts Podesta received thousands of shares of common and preferred stock in one of the companies involved in the transfer. The fact came to light when WikiLeaks published e-mails Podesta sent to the company ordering it to transfer his shares to a shell corporation he had created a month earlier.
The e-mails included a letter Podesta wrote to the corporate secretary of that company instructing him to retitle 33,693 shares of preferred stock to Leonidio Holdings, LLC, a corporation that Podesta (or one of his staff) created using a Corporation Service Company to hide the shares from public view.
The company that gave Podesta the stock shares, Joule Unlimited, claims to be a producer of “alternative” energy technology that will eventually be able to produce energy that will be competitive with oil priced at $50 a barrel. It was a recipient of millions of Putin’s rubles as one of the gang of companies working to transfer American technology to Russia, one of America’s enemies.
As Schweizer told the New York Post in an interview in July:
The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies get special access to the Russian market and workforce….
All I ask is that people look at the money. Who made the deals, who benefited from the deals?
Thanks to WikiLeaks the “people” now know the name of at least one of those who participated in the deals and how he benefited from them: John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager.
Bkmrk
Schweizer explained the “deep ties” the Clintons have to Russia, specifically how in 2010 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale and transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium output to the Russian government ...”
People not being able to see this kind of Evil is the reason America is in sad shape.But you also notice the news media and intelligence agencies say nothing about it.
And my source is better than Rachel Maddow's is, too.
I think breaking windows,destroying property,selling guns to drug runner’s,selling uranium to Russia are unusual.
I figure on the one hand he wanted a democrat that he could keep beating up, but on the other Obama had already pretty much set the world on fire so they would have been kind of grateful for adults to deal with again.
The Russians want an American admin that will enable them to continue on with their aggressive expansionist actions in Eastern Europe and now the Middle East. It ain't even close as to which party that implies. Comrade Obama's goal was to decimate our military, while Hillary, never once, expressed any concern over the deteriorating conditions. This despite all the BS huffing and puffing we now hear from their side about the Russian threat.
Ya mean it hasn't?
Which indicates that nearly half of the voters in the U.S. are down to one functioning neuron...
From day one I’ve held that Russia would prefer a weak and corrupt political hack like Clinton over an America-loving strong and patriotic businessman. Why on Earth would they want otherwise?
You’ve done some great research. Thanks for sharing with us.
“Putin wanted Trump to win so he could keep his monopoly on communism.”
You just might have something there.
“the proceeds of the sale went to the Clinton Foundation “
I don’t think they got the proceeds, but they got millions in kickbacks and Bubba’s speaking fees.
You’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
“the world will descend into chaos and ruin.”
It still might if the Lame Stream Media has its way.
