This is where the Russia hoax began, back in the opening months of 2016, as I have often pointed out.

Even the friendly media still report that the Russia hoax began in July of 2016 with the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane; they have fallen into a trap! That myth was to protect the vast conspiracy to stifle the threat that Donald Trump posed to the globalists' schemes.

That was why Joseph Mifsud had to mysteriously disappear as well as the FBI agent that trapped General Michael Flynn at the WH into a perjury trap (his name escapes me this early in the morning... he worked with 'Five Eyes' in Europe in the Spring of 2016 to build a case linking Trump with Russia - Pientka?)

Why link Trump with Russia and against 'American' interests? Because they knew the two shared a fear against the sinister globalist plots!

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”.

The only truth the professional liar Chuck Schumer ever spoke. The “IC” is the real “threat to our Democracy”.

Its 4+1 Eyes - the Rump British Empire / London Globalists and their 3 commonwealth colonies

And the United States.

In fact, the accusation that a foreign government meddled in the 2016 election, spread propoganda, and used agents to manipulate candidates - IS ALL TRUE

But it was the UK, not Russia, that did it.

China, North Korea and Russia love it. I’d imagine Saudi Arabia and Iran think it’s cool to.

Though I still have old friends in most of these countries, it’s foolish to believe that the majority of their citizens are now our friends.

Their national and political agendas are increasingly inconsistent with our interests. Besides that, their intel contributions are probably not commensurate with the vast amount of info we provide them. Moreover, some of these countries clearly interfered with our political system. It was time question the value of this arrangement.

***The head of British GCHQ resigned the day Trump was inaugurated in 2016. He knew about the US IC Russia fake collusion coup and the role 5 Eyes played in it?***

See my #42 above. In regards to the 'disappearance' of Joseph Mifsud, note that also Italian intel completely reorganized itself following Donald Trump's election in 2016... they were mending fences!

Mifsud, from Malta, had been working in the Spring of 2016 with Stephan Halper, an American ex-spook teaching at Oxford (or Cambridge?) and acting at times as liaison with MI6, against Trump's aides such as Carter Page and General Michael Flynn.

Also note the involvement of the Australian diplomatic liaison (name?) who helped set up Carter Page... AND the involvement of 'retired' head of MI6, Richard Dearlove.

The only real change is we stop using the other 4 eyes for snooping on Americans unconstitionally.

I’d still like them to give us info especially any info on terrorism. Anything else isn’t as important.

Nothing new under the Sun:

British Security Co-ordination (BSC) was a covert organisation set up in New York City by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in May 1940 upon the authorisation of the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.

Its purpose was to investigate enemy activities, prevent sabotage against British interests in the Americas, and mobilise pro-British opinion in the Americas. As a ‘huge secret agency of nationwide news manipulation and black propaganda’, the BSC influenced news coverage in the Herald Tribune, the New York Post, The Baltimore Sun, and Radio New York Worldwide.

The stories disseminated from the organisation’s offices at Rockefeller Center would then be legitimately picked up by other radio stations and newspapers, before being relayed to the American public. Through this, anti-German stories were placed in major American media outlets to help turn public opinion.

I vaguely recall seeing something about this a long time ago. Thanks for the post.

See my #50 above. UK and Five Eyes, plus apparently Italian intel and I think also a Scandinavian country... I am not aware of other European intel involvement at that time.

It is important to understand that what led up to the American Trump Russia hoax was not just the FBI and CIA, it was a powerful globalist plot that was going to sweep the world after Hillary's election and end the super power status of the United States for good! You and I were headed towards slavery.

Trump is not shutting down Five Eyes.

The U.S. is not withdrawing from Five Eyes.

The four partners will not receive updates on the Russia-Ukraine peace talks. That's it.

from Lifson's substack article..

Five Eyes won’t cease to exist tomorrow, of course; Most of the routines will continue until further notice. And no doubt there is plenty of benefit to the US. But those other four aren’t automatically seeing everything.


All of the other nefarious, devious, dishonest, unpatriotic activities of the Five Eyes multinational corporation - will continue unabated.

While the U.S. is barred from spying on its own citizens, our government is member to a group that intentionally bypasses this safeguard.

The U.S. holds no moral high ground here.

It’s a big win for Russia and China because they have broken several American trusted friends. So that now, they are no longer trusted. I am not against Tulsi doing this. I am just sorry that it had to be done. There was a time when we were aligned. Now they are sadly broken governments who do not believe in human rights. Of course our CIA has a similar problem. We have to fix our governments separately before we can trust again in the future.

Well said! This is a case where trust really matters, and I am trusting President Trump in this decision, which is an actual "bombshell."

Does this mean those countries can’t listen to us anymore?

I want the whole operation dismantled.
