US will 'not repeat' claims GCHQ wiretapped Donald Trump
BBC ^

Posted on 03/17/2017 5:30:05 AM PDT by UKrepublican

The US has agreed not to repeat claims the UK's communications intelligence agency wiretapped Donald Trump in the weeks after he won the US election.

GCHQ denied allegations made by the White House that it spied on Mr Trump as president-elect.

No 10 has been assured the allegations would not be repeated, a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said.

He said it had been made clear to US authorities the claims were "ridiculous and should have been ignored".

A GCHQ spokesman said: "Recent allegations made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ being asked to conduct 'wiretapping' against the then president-elect are nonsense.

The Brits are right. GCHQ was not asked to "conduct wiretapping."

According to Judge Napolitano, they were asked to look in the massive database of telecom and internet communications that had already been gathered by the NSA, covering the entire country, which GCHQ has access to, and pull out the Trump communications for Obama.

One has to carefully parse these denials as if they are being made by Clinton.

Remember the great employment numbers that came in? Yeah. Me neither. Because Trump just had to tweet out this wiretap crap. Here’s an idea. How about having facts first you can lay out to support something.

Reminds me of a line from Hee Haw, something like “You’ll never hear me repeating gossip, so listen carefully the first time”

They’ve had their collective knickers in a twist over there re: Trump since he won the election. In hindsight, that looks to me as if it’s a confirmation that all was not right.

Right... the White House will no longer say that the entity “GCHQ” directed the surveillance. BECAUSE:

GCHQ gets 24/7 raw surveillance from the NSA, and ANYONE, working in or as a “sideline” (which of course NO-one does at GCHQ or in the MI-5 (can you say Mr. Steele of “dossier” fame) in order to forward their role as double agents for a foreign government— can you say, Russia or China, hmmmmmm?)

The reason the WH will not say it, is that the PM and Trump talked, and GCHQ is no doubt doing as they have ALWAYS had to do— look for moles rife in their secret services, which has to be done, literally everytime we “share” with them. And this “sharing” allowed Brennan, and Morell and Panetta ,working for obamaumao “who dind kno nuffin (BS)” to sift and target surveillance info for use of the Clinton campaign, the DNC and to keep their jobs in the assumed Clinton “win”
. Let’s see, what is the Brit history?: The Cambridge 5, George Blake, Abwehr agents from WWII who turned out to be Soviet doubles working for Stalin, Klaus Fuchs,Alan Nunn May, etc.). Additionally,UK officials, including experts at its MI5 intelligence agency, are fearful that China could shut down businesses in the nation with Chinese cyber attacks and spy equipment embedded in computer and telecommunications equipment. Canada (a part of the Brit Commonwealth who answer to the Queen, lest we forget) has estimated there are at least 1000 chi-com spies in the country. And, uh, Canada most likely has access to the GCHQ “shared” NSA. Which would fit rather nicely, the modus operandi of the Clinton Foundation in obtaining 20% of the US uranium through Frank Giustra- Canadian mining exec, and Board member of their Foundation, laundering the money through Canada (which is what happened).

See how this can happen? And it’s not false flag— which would be designed to turn our intel inside out. It’s directed and intended political illegal action by Mr. Brennan at the behest of his “religion” and the Muslim Brotherhood (found in large numbers in the UK and... Canada).

So, yes the proper correction is not to say anymore, that GCHQ did it- in accusatory fashion. But the wheels and worm is turning. And one worm is on the run, wife-free, to be with his french iranian/russian nuclear pals. imho.

Dave thanks for all your great info on these threads!

Years ago someone told me about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_(software)

I already understood then how 1984 was all but a reality.

My default position is every government agency lies about everything all the time even when not necessary and they are guilty until proven innocent.

Will enough wake up before it’s too late is the main question.

We also have a standing agreement with the UK not to air their dirty laundry so they can preserve their Official Secrets Act.

Behind Trump, when he spoke at CIA hq, was the wall of honor of all those who have been killed in line of duty, many due to the very ‘hall of mirrors’ lying communist doubles that have always been in our and our allie’s countries.

In that same hallway, on the wall is the quote “Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you Free”.

A corollary from history written by the victors: “The Truth is that which is remembered.” Which is a principal goal of propaganda in any police state, academia indocrination, and includes the continuing effort by the deep state to maintain the ruse, steering the narrative through the media/coup, Constitutional crisis with a Nuremburg style created judiciary foiling our LAW (rule by judges must not happen).

It is a time for all who love this country and our Constitution to defeat those who would supplant it for their “higher world peace” marxist goals.

What GCHQ does, Case study: https://www.gchq.gov.uk/features/how-does-analyst-catch-terrorist.

The GCHQ home page at www.gchq.gov.uk gives a bigger picture of their activities. Neither the NSA nor GCHQ have the resources or charter to monitor and analyze their entire populations. They have to be very selective and stick to their missions.

You are welcome.

It is obvious that, the rats involved in the ordering of the imonitoring/surveillance of Trump and his people at Trump Tower Gate will use the cop out, we didn’t do it.

If the accusations can be demonstrated, then they should be repeated.

The movie, “The Imitation Game” was an excellent movie. The only one we saw that year.

“Are they telling us the front page NY Times report on Inauguration day (Jan 20, 2017) was FAKE NEWS?”

The irony here is just too much. The NY Times accused President Bush of spying on Americans in 2003 and were proven wrong. Yet, in 2016, we may have President Obama doing exactly that and the evidence for it provided by the very same NY Times. In Jan 2017, their front page said:
