‘The Enemy Amongst Us - Charles Krauthammer

”There’s a reason why in New York we have the Statue of Liberty,not the Statue of Equality.”

An article from the New York Post:

I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called “Organizing for Action” (OFA).

OFA is 30,000+ strong and working to disrupt everything that our current president’s administration is trying to do. This organization goes against our Democracy, and it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If it is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws?

If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America!

Our ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration’s top dogs over to Organizing for Action.

OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution.

OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for “progressive” change. Its issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform.

OFA members were propped up by the ex-president’s message from the shadows: “Organizing is the building block of everything great we have accomplished Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2017 and beyond.”

OFA’s website says it obtained its “digital” assets from the ex-president’s re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it is the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic we know as AMERICA.

Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says, “The OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.”

Sperry writes that, “The ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the Trump administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide. The OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate that the OFA has 32,525 (and growing) volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his wife will oversee the operation from their home/ office in Washington DC.

Think about how this works.. For example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; the OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; the ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action in support of these activities; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; and violence follows. All of this happens from the ex-president’s signal that he is heartened by the protests.

If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years.

If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know.

So, do your part. You have read it, so at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we are so compliant. We are becoming a “PERFECT TARGET” for our enemy!

Charles Krauthammer

Yes, it’s happening before our very eyes as we speak.’

Now the LS post:
To: thinden; 1_Rain_Drop; 3D-JOY; Abbeville Conservative; Abby4116; acoulterfan; aft_lizard; ...
I’m replying to all my ping list so I don’t answer 100 separate e-mails.

1. So far, there is little confirmation/expansion of this “story.” It’s really CNN or WSJ-—unclear which has the “source.”

2. They are probably both using the same source, which would explain it.

3. Could be some sort of designed leak to reveal leaker in GJ.

4. For now say it’s legit, say there are “indictments.” Per news last night (Fox) neither Manafort nor his atty have been informed of any indictment. That is odd, especially for someone who was a “cooperating” witness. (BTW, I still don’t buy that his house was “raided” in the way we are told. I think it was staged with Manafort’s cooperation-—get it? He’s a “cooperating” witness?) Anyway, a cooperating witness usually gets consideration. They aren’t grabbed in the middle of the night. They are allowed to turn themselves in on the specified day.

That said, neither Manafort nor his lawyer have had any such notification.

That jibes with what I’m hearing form my “source”, namely that there will be no immediate arrests.

5. The indictments I’m hearing-—and I could be totally wrong, as I’ve said on every thread-—are Manafort AND Tony Two-Toes Podesta, both for failing to register as foreign agents.

6. This leads entirely, I’m told, to the Podesta Group, and money laundering for the DNC/Cankles.

7. It does NOT lead to Trump or the administration.

8. If this is correct, then likely Manafort has already turned “state’s evidence” and is providing info, and Tony Two-Toes will soon sing.

How does my theory that Mulehead is working for Trump sound so far?

9. Further, I’m told by a counter-terror guy who has LOTS of experience with precisely these kinds of arrests/cases that indeed this is the tip of the iceberg, that Combover is a likely target given that the case against him is already made in public and there isn’t much work to do.

A solid giveaway, he says, that the case is national security related is the sealed nature of the indictments. That reeks of U1 as well, but we’ll see.

10. The only way Hannity’s little “tick tock” means anything is IF between now and Monday Mulehead comes up with new indictments (won’t happen cuz court is closed). Possible on Monday he might . . . for ppl related to U1. If that’s the case . . .

11. How does this mean Mulehead isn’t working for Trump?

There is only one scenario in which Mulehead is working for the bad guys and that is if the indictees are Manafort, Don Jr., or Jared (no chance). Possible there could be an indictment for the Russkie chick, leading back to . . . Podesta.

In other words—AND I COULD BE WRONG-—right now all signs point to an investigation of the Podesta group as the starting point, with or without U1.

Here is one that never got any traction bout should have:
Its a video of the Rense piece that tells of the evolution of Obama by a Russian woman,most likely KGB, in 1992 before any of the Obama BS had started.
It’s long but well worth the time.
Once you view this you will never forget it.

Transcript from Tucker Carlson show last week on Manafort connection:

Well, good evening and welcome to “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” We are beginning tonight with a story we just learned a few hours ago, a story that amazed us.

Last night on this show, we told you about how the Podesta group, a lobbying firm co-founded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign — and John Podesta and his brother Tony have been sucked into the independent counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of alleged Russian interference in American politics. Before last night’s show was even over, we got an email from a man with direct personal knowledge of that story.

The man, whose name we can’t reveal for the time being, is a former senior employee of the Podesta Group. He worked there for years. He said he was motivated to contact us by the disgust he felt watching media coverage of the Russia story. Not only were most reporters getting it wrong he said, they were getting it backward. The Russians were in fact deeply involved in American politics, but the real story had almost nothing to do with the 2016 presidential campaign.

Well, intrigued, we agreed to meet with that source today. He just left our offices here in Washington a couple of hours ago. The story he told us is astonishing. We will be following up on it, confirming more of it and bringing you details throughout this week and after.

But first, here’s an overview of what he told us: Media reports describe Paul Manafort as a central figure in the Russia investigation due to the several months he spent as Donald Trump’s campaign chairman. According to our source, that’s only half true. Manafort is indeed at the center of this investigation, but not because of his ties to Trump. In fact, Paul Manafort spent years working with the Podesta Group on behalf of Russian government interests.

That relationship extends back to at least 2011 when our source claims Manafort had dinner in Washington with both Podestas, Tony and John. In the years following, our sources says, he saw Paul Manafort in the Podesta Group offices, quote, “all the time.” At least once a month. Manafort was not there to socialize, he was representing Russian business and political interests, who sought to influence Capitol Hill, Hillary Clinton’s State Department and the Obama administration.

Our source describes Manafort bringing what he called a parade of Russian oligarchs up to the Congress where they met with members and their staffs. But the central effort to extend Russian influence was focused on the executive branch, the Obama administration. The vehicle through which Paul Manafort worked for the Russians was a shell group called the European Center for a Modern Ukraine.

Now, the group supposedly was based in Belgium, but it had no actual offices there. It had in fact only two employees, both of them based in Ukraine. Their telephone number in Brussels rang in Kiev. It was a sham. Yet it did have a presence here in Washington. The European Center for a Modern Ukraine was a major client of the Podesta Group.

Now, why did the Russians choose the Podesta group? Well, because both Podestas were close to the Clintons and Hillary was then Secretary of State. She could get things done for the Podestas’ Russian clients. It was influence peddling, the most obvious kind.

For example, our source says that at John Podesta’s recommendation, his brother Tony hired a man named David Adams. Now, before joining the Podesta group, Adams worked at the State Department as assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs. He was also chief legislative adviser to Hillary Clinton. As part of his job, Adam’s personally briefed Hillary Clinton every day.

He aided in the confirmation of at least 122 political nominees at state. By hiring him in 2013, our source says, the Podesta Group got a direct liaison between their offices and by extension their Russian clients, and Hillary’s State Department. Sometimes, our source said, ties between the Podesta Group and the Clintons were explicit. Tony Podesta spoke regularly to Hillary Clinton while she ran the State Department.

Our source remembers Podesta’s assistant announcing that, quote, “Secretary Clinton is on the line.” At one point in either 2013 or maybe early 2014, our source says a meeting was held that included both Tony Podesta and a representative of the Clinton Foundation. The explicit subject of that meeting? How to assist Uranium One, that’s the Russian owned company that controls 20 percent of American uranium production, and whose board members gave more than $100 million to the Clinton Foundation.

As our source put it, quote, “Tony Podesta was basically part of the Clinton Foundation.” Now, apparently there was not a lot of pretending about this internally at the Podesta group. According to our source, Manafort was clear, crystal clear that Russia wanted to cultivate ties to Hillary Clinton in the belief she was likely to become president. These links to Hillary were apparently quite valuable to the Russians.

Our source believes that the Russian money Manafort funnel to the Podesta Group greatly exceeds the roughly $1 million they were officially paid. That’s what he said. Some of these payments he indicated could be hidden kickbacks that would be hard for investigators to trace. Our source described the Podesta groups books as, quote, “A treasure trove, and highly secret.”

He told us the Podesta group had no board overseeing it and that all financial decisions internally were made by Tony Podesta personally. The group’s employees he said included a person whose only official job was managing Tony Podesta’s art collection. It would be obviously pretty easy for an organization like that to conceal financial transactions. Now, the source we spoke to has been interviewed extensively by Robert Mueller’s independent investigators.

In press accounts, Mueller’s investigation is still framed for a hunt for collusion between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the government of Russia. Our source says investigators are in fact very interested in Manafort’s behavior while he ran the Trump campaign, but otherwise that description is mostly bogus. The investigation has broadened now to determine which people and which organizations in Washington have spent years working secretly as de facto operatives on behalf of Russian government and business interests.

The Podesta group is chief among these. Quote, “They are more focused on facilitators of Russian influence in this country,” says our source, “than they are on election collusion.” “The Podesta Group,” he says, quote, “is in their cross hairs.”

Now, we should note the obvious, which is that many of the lobbying efforts are source described to us today are not yet illegal necessarily and that tells you a lot about modern American politics.

But if true, the story we heard overturns much of what we think we know about Russian attempts to influence American policy. We believe our source is telling the truth. We don’t think he has reason to lie to us. The facts we’ve been able to check have turned out to be accurate. We believe our source has exposed behavior that undermines this country, but that unfortunately is common here in Washington.

We plan to proceed carefully as we report this out, but we will proceed bringing you everything we find. We suspect there’s a lot there.

Re OFA from the Federalist: Obama’s Campaign Paid $972,000 To Law Firm That Secretly Paid Fusion GPS In 2016

Former president Barack Obama’s official campaign organization has directed nearly a million dollars to the same law firm that funneled money to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the infamous Steele dossier. Since April of 2016, Obama For America (OFA) has paid over $972,000 to Perkins Coie, records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show.

FEC records as well as federal court records show that Marc Elias, the Perkins Coie lawyer whom the Washington Post reported was responsible for the payments to Fusion GPS on behalf of Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, also previously served as a counsel for OFA. In Shamblin v. Obama for America, a 2013 case in federal court in Florida, federal court records list Elias as simultaneously serving as lead attorney for both OFA and the DNC.

My bet is the indictment will be General Flynn.

That used to be called SEDITION.
