Ukraine Court Reveals Officials Interfered in US Election by Naming Manafort

A Kiev district court ruled Wednesday that Artem Sytnik, director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, and member of parliament Serhiy Leshchenko acted illegally when they disclosed Manafort's name from among the documents of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions, the Kyiv Post reported. By doing so, they acted in favor of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election.

In response to the ruling, Leshchenko wrote on Facebook that the judge's decision was an attempt to excuse removing Sytnik from office, the Post reported.

Radio Sputnik's Loud and Clear spoke with Mark Sleboda, an international affairs expert and security analyst, about the case.

Sleboda said the revelation was "just the tip of the [Alexandra] Chalupa iceberg of Ukrainian interference in the US election and of collusion between the West-backed Ukrainian putsch regime and the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and there's a long history there."

Political consultant Andrii Telizhenko told Sputnik in September that while working at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington, DC, during the US 2016 presidential election season, he had been approached by Oksana Shulyar, an aide to the Ukrainian ambassador, and told, "if I had any information, or knew other people who did," then he should contact Chalupa.

"They were coordinating an investigation with the Hillary [Clinton] team on Paul Manafort with Alexandra Chalupa," he told Politico. "Oksana was keeping it all quiet," but "the embassy worked very closely with" Chalupa.

This is a foreign press- Russia. Here's part of their "About Us" text:

Sputnik is a modern news agency whose products include newsfeeds, websites, social networks, mobile apps, radio broadcasts and multimedia press centers.

Sputnik HQ is located in Moscow. Regional offices are located in key regions and countries around the world, including the United States (Washington, DC), China (Beijing), France (Paris), Germany (Berlin), Egypt (Cairo) and the UK (London and Edinburgh).

The US news sources are predominantly orchestrated by the CIA so I look at foreign news sources too and pick my way through the offerings and at the end of the day, assemble pieces from various agencies which appear to be supported by evidence found elsewhere over time, or supported by documentation or people who appear to be trustworthy.

[The US news sources are predominantly orchestrated by the CIA]

I’d say far leftists who enter the CIA and the media are fellow travelers. When Catholics enter two institutions and favor Catholic causes, do we say that one institution is leading the other? They’re merely birds of a feather. While the % of far leftists in the media probably far exceeds the CIA quotient, the media look for CIA (and other) sources that reinforce their far left world view and discard the others in their written output. Are there right-wingers in the CIA? Sure. But these are not the people cited by the media.

YOu’ve read about Operation Mockingbird? CIA was acknowledged to have infiltrated media - television coverage etc. That was in the old black and white tee vee days. I recall watching footage of a the head of a broadcasting agency being questioned about it. Well, it never went away. That’s why the news is 24/7 against POTUS and all sounds the same. Well, almost all - there are a few agencies or news casters within agencies not bought and paid for. And the CIA types are both Republican and Democrat. Many people for sale.

This news if true cuts both ways...

There was Ukraine election meddling so Trump was totally justified in asking for an investigation.
There was meddling to favor the Clintons
Manafort received illegal payments.
Did Manafort receive illegal payments? Who made these payments and for what? Were they really illegal? Under Ukraine law? Under US Law?

This news if true cuts both ways...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s the part still to be determined. It may be false, it may contain only portions of false information to tilt conclusions one way or another. It could be designed to attack both Clinton and Trump as maybe the Russians want them both gone. However, very little of anything I’ve watched on our MSM is true, so it’s down to researching for ourselves.

[YOu’ve read about Operation Mockingbird? CIA was acknowledged to have infiltrated media - television coverage etc. ]

You know how success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan? I’m sure the CIA has claimed to influence people, but whether those people were actually influenced by the CIA is a different question. My guess is that many of these CIA employees were influenced by the far left media rather than the other way around. But when you write a report about your exploits so you can advance up the ranks, it helps to suggest that you are a puppetmaster rather than a bemused moneybags or, even worse, a puppet.

I am suggesting something much more structural. The MSM is not an arm of the DNC. The DNC is an arm of the MSM which is HEAVILY infiltrated by the CIA and has been for decades. Anderson Cooper is a former CIA intern, but they usually don’t admit to their “origins.” I read an old pamphlet detailing a meeting following public exposure of the CIA’s presence in media from the 50’s in which Arlen Specter talked to Ted Koppel ( think that’s the right guy) and others and it was quite eye opening. The FBI wanted these community members to agree that it’s appropriate for the CIA to have “representatives” among journalists, foreign missionaries etc. There was an attempt by Congress to get the names of the CIA members in journalism at that time. They were very politely told it was none of their business. It’s not hints and brags - it’s the fact that the MSM is CIA and is acting at present to coordinate farcial media reporting in order to get President Trump removed from office.

If the CIA is all-knowing and all-seeing, who is its Odin, the leader of the divine pantheon? Given that even CIA employees aren’t immortal, how does succession work?

My personal experience is that almost *all* college journalists start out far left and all college papers are funded from the mandatory student fee levied as a charge separate from college tuition. For the CIA to pay journalists to generate left-wing articles once they’ve graduated college is like paying the Pope to spread the Catholic faith, superfluous and a complete waste of money.

But waste and fraud exists in civilian bureaucracies where the owner-manager presumably keeps a wary eye on expenses. Why would it be a surprise that it exists in government bureaucracies where going out of business isn’t exactly a day-to-day concern, since budgets bear no relationship to a divisional P&L statement?

Kevin Shipp, former CIA agent, explains that our government does not function the way we’ve been taught. Other forces entirely “govern” the government and the MSM is the CIA’s psyop to influence the public, just as it manipulates the public in foreign countries. They have made themselves “god” or rulers of the world. They aren’t the top of that hierarchy but in relation to the MSM, they are.

You're thinking about this all wrong. The CIA is not the head of the snake, just an infiltrated and controlled tool of the snake...one head of the hydra that we call the DEEP STATE. Who is at the top of this international cabal? Opinions differ, but I have my suspicions. Anons know.

When capturing a country, one of the first institutions necessary to control is the intelligence community. Through them, you can control the people through the media. Another is the law enforcement agencies, FBI/DOJ. FBI/DOJ covers up for the derps and prosecutes enemies of the deep state. Foreign policy is taken care of through controlling the State Department (see impeachment hearings for Revenge of the State Department).

The education system. You get the picture. So you are describing the process and not the overall reality.

Yes. The CIA controls the media. This is indisputable fact.

Under President Hillary, the total takeover of all American institutions would have been completed and we would have lost our country completely. Thank God for Trump. This is a war.

Best to get our facts from independent sources. Like FreeRepublic and blogs, right Humblegunner?

Well— Yovanovych is herself... Russian born, emigre to Canada and then came to the US and was naturalized.

Obamaumao put a RUSSIAN in the Kiev Embassy as Ambassador. Ya think she’s most likely partial to Russians... not Ukrainians who want independence from the Russian thugs and their “Presidents”

The clinton’s pal Victor Pinchuk- Ukrainian steel oligarch, and major donor to the clinton foundation!— paid for Greg Craig (Clinton fixer lawyer remember him?) to critique the trial of a known Soviet stooge (nice looking lady named Tymoshenko)— so the clintons and their pal Yovanovych— are provably BACKING RUSSIANS and used the Ukraine for cutouts in the GPS Fusion “dossier” and the russia hoax. The filthy dirty scum clintons (please go away hitlery, and shut up).

"Who is at the top of this international cabal? Opinions differ, but I have my suspicions."

Yesterday, when I said that Professor Quigley in his book Tragedy and Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time identified a syndicate of old money families as the rulers of our world, you told me that you and Q already knew that and that, quote:

"I only slightly exaggerate when I say that half of Q's postings discuss and identify the 'old money families' of which you speak."

but now you only have your suspicions? What happened? I hope the kids back in the Q comfort room don't get wind of your lack of faith in Q's pronouncements.

but now you only have your suspicions? What happened? I hope the kids back in the Q comfort room don't get wind of your lack of faith in Q's pronouncements.

I often tread lightly when amongst the blue pilled mobs. They can be a shrill bunch and quick to burst forth in ignorant indignation and shouts of CONSPIRACY THEORY. They think they got it all figured out.

Why do I have to keep telling you things you already know?

p.s. 'Anons know' should have tipped you off.

It's punt or be punted. Here beyond the trees, the know-nothings have shut the door to the truth.

You know this so what are you spouting off about, tater.

Tell you what, tater tot. Let's hear you name names of the cabal.

And then let's wait for the reaction from the crowd.

What ya got other than the title of a book?
