RUSSIA TO DESTROY MERKEL: US official discovers intelligence of takedown plot
The Express (UK) ^ | Saturday, December 10, 2016 | By Katie Mansfield

Moscow will escalate a decade long operation to boost support for the far-right and nationalist groups in Germany.

It comes as a CIA probe confirms Moscow helped Donald Trump win the US election though a series of cyber attacks.

A US official familiar with the investigation says Russian President Vladimir Putin will continue to wreck havoc.

The official said Moscow is launching a similar effort to influence the next German election, following an escalating campaign to promote far-right and nationalist political parties and individuals in Europe that began more than a decade ago.

In both cases, said the official, Mr Putin's campaigns in both Europe and the US are intended to disrupt and discredit the Western concept of democracy by promoting extremist candidates, parties, and political figures.

I’ve heard such ‘huff and puff’ statements before about Merkel. Just three weeks ago, the Daily Mail said she would likely be replaced within a week. Didn’t happen.
Her money source will have to dry up first. It’s clear Angela doesn’t give a hoot what her citizens think of her. The approval of her public has never been the issue.
If Brexit , Itaxit (Italy) and Czechit (Hungarian Region) keep going forward, Germany will be left holding even more of the financial burden of this EU experiment.

“Russia the new defender of Liberty knocking out godless Marxism worldwide? Cool beans.”

Or...

They are trying to fire up the Marxists to get rid of western democracies. And Clinton and Obama are part of it.

I fit right in at CIA, but I'm sad because they won't let me wear my armband.

Wow, IF TRUE, which its uniparty prop talking,

Putin is more of an American patriot than socialist democrats.

Perhaps they don’t want TOO MANY communists vying for world power at the same time. How can you justify arms buildups and such against fellow comrades just b/c they are in different countries.

I then visited Red State, hoping to air out a little. I can’t believe they dare apply the word “conservatives” to themselves with their hatred for Trump. Losing Free Republic for a while really makes you appreciate right-thinking conservatives and not being assailed with fruit salad ads and pop-ups, and th

I’m confused and don’t do drugs. How did “cyberattacks” help Trump get elected?

Russians infiltrated the machines in Pennsylvania somehow, even though those machines are not connected to the Internet.

It’s a Matrix thing.

>>>”The Left has sent out its newest meme”

Yep. It’s the same playbook as “the Supreme Court elected Bush..”

We should remember that this, the whole AlGore fiasco, had a big effect on the beginning of his term.

The purpose is to delegitimize and build on it to hamstring and slow and delay, etc..

Didn’t I read here shortly before the election that something like 74 “intelligence experts” had endorsed Clintoonie? I wonder if this “CIA report” has something to do with that.

It appears that Germany does not want to be saved from the muzzies or they would have done something about them.

If true, which I seriously doubt, I say 'yay Putin'.

Merkel needs to go, as did Hillary.
I'm thanking the Good LORD for the latter, and hopefully later for the former. And if HE uses Putin to get truth out - fine. The Lord has used many a flawed vessel in the past.

“CIA knows its about to get its butt kicked.”

Hopefully President Trump will FIRE everyone at CIA who was involved in the latest ‘FAKE NEWS’ concerning the Russian involvement in Hillary’s defeat & supplying weapons to ISIS in Syria.....

How in the heck do they know Putin’s motives ? They could not even determine Hillary’s motive for violating national security protocols even after interviewing her.

I think Germany—as Germany, populated by Germans—is finished no matter what. Unless they find the will to kick the non-Germans out. Given their guilt complex, it seems unlikely.
