As Obama’s days as U.S. President draw to a close, both the Obama administration and the mainstream corporate media are attempting to provoke a greater conflict with nuclear-armed Russia on the basis of something that never actually happened; at least on the basis of something that they have yet to prove has actually happened. Still, the hype and hysteria being piped from the halls of the White House, intelligence community, and the mouthpiece of the establishment, the corporate media, is incessant. According to the media and the President, the Russians hacked the DNC (never mind the fact that the DNC was acting inappropriately and rigging the elections themselves) and put American democracy at risk.
Of course, neither the intelligence community nor the White House has yet to produce any evidence of their claims, despite the fact that they are clearly provocations aimed both at Russia and the domestic population of the United States, with the intention to frighten the latter into submission with a healthy dose of Neo-McCarthyism and red-baiting. Still, this continuous and baseless propaganda might cause many Americans a number of flashbacks since the last time their President, intelligence community, and corporate media came to them with proof of an encroaching threat to democracy, telling them the evidence was clear but that the masses would simply have to “trust” them, Americans ended up bewildered on the battlefield in Iraq where they remain to this day, thirteen years on.
Once again, we are given no evidence, only vague unproven allegations to justify actions that very well may be destructive not only to the American people but to all the people of the world. All we need is for Colin Powell to give a PowerPoint presentation in front of the United Nations and the circle will be complete.
What little “evidence” released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, FBI, and DHS has been evaluated and found to be nothing more than accusations and, at best, circumstantial evidence. Any other “evidence” possessed by these institutions remains classified and the government isn’t budging, insisting that the public march down the path to World War Three on the basis of trust in organizations that are notorious for lying through their teeth.
After dropping the ball twice, Obama did the only thing an embarrassed child is capable of doing by launching into a torrent of insults suggesting that Russia is small and weak and that they produce nothing but oil, gas, and arms. Apparently, Obama missed out on the irony of an American President criticizing another nation of not producing anything but oil, gas, and arms.But the longer the media and the government continue to promote their hysteria with no proof behind them, the harder it becomes to sustain the narrative. Even the great orator himself, Barack Obama, couldn’t justify the continued holdout of information from the American people if his “intelligence” was so convincing. When faced with a question of whether or not he would declassify the intelligence or at least release proof, as the Russians have suggested, Obama demonstrated just why his reputation for wit and charm are completely overrated in the absence of a teleprompter. After stammering and stuttering his way through a direct question, a hallmark of an unscripted Obama, he was forced to fall back on his tired and wilted “hope and change” style platitudes of how great America is before possibly realizing that, eight years and rivers of blood on, the “hope and change” motivational church speak just doesn’t hold the weight it used to.
He then launched into a tirade of how Russia is not capable of “changing us,” seemingly not noticing that this diatribe rendered his previous hysterical propaganda that Russia had indeed “changed us” as either trivial or completely false. We are also unsure as to whether or not Obama is actually aware of which country he is talking about since Russia is, after all, not small by any means.
Obama then launched into a routine reminiscent of Jimmy Carter, scolding the American people for not trusting their intelligence agencies that already lied to get them in to a war with Iraq, law enforcement agencies that lie on a daily basis to amass convictions, and a White House that finds it impossible to utter a sentence if it contains majority truth.
This is one of those situations where, unless the American people genuinely think that the professionals in the CIA, the FBI, our entire intelligence infrastructure, many of whom, by the way, served in previous administrations, and who are Republicans, are less trustworthy than the Russians! Then . . . people should pay attention to what our intelligence agencies say.
It’s quite interesting that Obama would use the fact that many of these “intelligence professionals” worked in the Bush administration as a positive, since it was during Bush’s tenure that the CIA openly discredited itself in the rush to war in Iraq. We need not even discuss the FBI’s treachery on 9/11. But how does stating that the individuals who are telling us the Russians hacked “our elections” worked in an administration that lied its way into a war and a domestic police state do anything other than prove the critics correct?
It is also worth noting that, while the scolding aspect of the speech was vintage Carter, the rest of the speech was vintage Bush. For a second, it seemed as if we were only inches away from Obama stating “Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories.” Instead, we were treated with Obama’s very own Bushism – i.e. if people believe that our intelligence agencies aren’t trustworthy, they should listen to the intelligence agencies. Classic.
Obama also went on a tirade about how many Republicans have “favorable views” of Vladmir Putin and bemoaned the fact that many Trump supporters want to “stop sanctioning Russia” and “work together” against “common enemies.” In other words, Obama is perplexed at Putin’s support within his own country, which is much greater than Obama’s in the United States, and thus it is cause for a characteristic narcissistic meltdown by Obama. But the outrage over the fact that some people want to stop sanctioning Russia for fighting terrorism and supporting national sovereignty and peace the world over is a very telling display. After all, that “common enemy” Obama seems to think is ridiculous to fight together is al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other jihadist terrorist organizations, the same organizations that Americans have been committing blood, treasure, and virtually all their civil liberties toward defeating for the last sixteen years. The message of this statement was clear, however; the Nobel Peace Prize winner wants a war and certain people are getting in the way of it. Bring on the hissy fits and tears.
In the end, however, Obama refused to cave and made clear he would not be providing proof of his claims. We, the American people, will just have to take his word for it or be forever doomed as “conspiracy theorists,” Russian agents, or dupes of “fake news.”
It is both amusing and sad that a President with only eight days left in office can only stammer and throw accusations at other countries in order to keep the phony narrative for which he has acted as a front man for so long from completely collapsing. The fact that Obama cannot produce one shred of credible hard evidence is telling but, unfortunately, we fully expect the administration and its media lapdogs to continue to do the bidding of the deep state and push the destabilization of America and a confrontation with Russia.
In the meantime, we will be waiting on the evidence and the proof. But we won’t be holding our breath.

Meanwhile Iran and China run wild.
I happened to catch the opening segment of Hannity's radio show on WOR yesterday, and wish that I hadn't. He played an audio montage of all of the fawning, slavering praise of Obamao by the idiots in the MSM. It was literally nauseating. I doubt even Kim Jong Un's media coverage is so ridiculously reverential.
Eight more days. Eight more days. Eight more days.
Thankfully, the Terrorist in Chief was too lazy to start WWIII but he wasn’t too lazy to import an enemy army onto our shores. He thinks he and his family have enough security that they’ll be protected if/when something happens. They won’t be. Terrorists can get to them just like they can get to anyone. He lives in his little narcissistic world and can’t seem to understand that Orlando, San Bernardino, Boston, Paris, Germany, etc. could have easily happened with his family caught in the middle. No amount of security can guard against anything in public areas with people going about their normal everyday lives.
It’s such a shame. He had the choice to be a great leader but chose to be forever known as the worst president America has ever had. Basing his entire 8 years on racism and hate, he’s made sure no black will be POTUS for a long time.
Being the leader of a country, any country, is such a huge job, I don’t know why anyone would want it. If you want the job for the glory and not to fix it, then you should not get it. Unfortunately, this jerk got it.
Can't imagine anything worse than the many treasonous acts the world knows they've done, but you may be right. They don't understand that next time, the war would come to their front door. They don't understand that they and their families would be valuable targets for the other side. They can play footsie with the enemy but they will lose. Their usefulness to the enemy would soon be used up. History has proven that.
A wonderful paragraph with the exception of the first sentence that I chose not to repost. It was not a shame. It was entirely expected that the pig would never fly. Everything about the core of this man is tribal and anti Western. His philosophy is underpinned by urban legend. Now off to a new career. Getting fabulously wealthy off of the racial grievance industry. At least he's unlikely to try and create his own private army like Hildebeast, so that he can strip mine the assets of North Africa and the Levant.
BINGO!
WE HAVE A WINNER!
Someone with a pretty good explanation that starts at video 53: George Webb.
I believe it is because Russia has been settling oil contracts in Yuan and Euros. This threatens the status of the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Search “petrodollar” on this forum for an enlightening read.
Thanks.
100% correct. I was just explaining this point tonight with my drinking buddies.
Why are they so set at trying to get into a hot war with Russia? The only thing I can think is that they [Obama/Clinton, possibly a few Senators, too] want a hot war to cover up some underhanded deals that could prove more embarrassing or cause legal jeopardy [for Obama/Clinton, possibly a few Senators, too].

Never mind that both the Russians and the upper level political appointees in our intelligence agencies can't be trusted.
Indeed, that is the big picture. He’s the Peace Prize winner.
I have mentioned a few predictions in past postings, the US is likely once again to be an ally of the Russians, this time in a war against the Islamic pigs. The Obama/Clinton crime families are simply the proxies for the Islamic world. I think President Trump is fully aware, which is why he is installing 3 marine generals in key positions.
Reminds me if when a B29 had to land in Russia, they duplicated every single rivet, nut and component.
Maybe we can “accidentally” land an F35 for them to copy, maybe they can fix it.
I can just imagine all the vacuum test tube components.....
bingo. also obama admin is stocked with muslims, especially muslim brotherhood types
