Former NSA Director is Cooperating With Probe of Trump-Russia Investigation
The Intercept ^ | December 19th 2019 | Matthew Cole

Posted on 12/20/2019 2:14:33 PM PST by Jacquerie

RETIRED ADM. MICHAEL ROGERS, former director of the National Security Agency, has been cooperating with the Justice Department’s probe into the origins of the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump presidential campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, according to four people familiar with Rogers’s participation.

Rogers has met the prosecutor leading the probe, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, on multiple occasions, according to two people familiar with Rogers’s cooperation. While the substance of those meetings is not clear, Rogers has cooperated voluntarily, several people with knowledge of the matter said.

Rogers, who retired in May 2018, did not respond to requests for comment.

Rogers’s voluntary participation, which has not been previously reported, makes him the first former intelligence director known to have been interviewed for the probe.

“He’s been very cooperative,” one former intelligence officer who has knowledge of Rogers’s meetings with the Justice Department said.

Politico and NBC News have previously reported that Durham intends to interview both former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. It is unclear if that has happened. Brennan and the Justice Department declined to comment. Clapper could not be reached for comment.

Thank you for the very thoughtful response. I am inclined to let Churchill have the last word:

'In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing...

Look, you need to get off this.

These alleged quotes even if accurate are in no way representative of the Jewish people. If anything they represent a small group of criminal like minds.

But I’ll tell you the real cause and effect behind this, it’s a stream of Jew haters who are putting together hate memes the same way Area 51 junkies put together UFO sightings, the same way that gold bugs put together end-of-the world scenarios.

Take it somewhere else. Last warning.

Too late to warn Churchill and Solzhenitsyn, they are both dead. It’s your funeral, what the descendants of the Bolsheviks don’t achieve, the mohammadans surely will.

I’ve been warned. There are some aspects of history that are taboo. Churchill and Solzhenitzyn were fruitcakes.

University of Cambridge: An article that Winston Churchill wrote but then banned from publication because of its “perverse” messages about the persecution of Jews has been uncovered by a Cambridge University historian.

New York Times: Churchill took swipe at Jews in 1937 article

Reuters: Long lost Churchill paper on Jews uncovered

and then comes this from the International Churchill Society:

Myth and Reality – What Did Churchill Really Think About the Jews?

In fact, this article has not “lain unnoticed,” and not one word of it was written by Churchill. Nor did the article ever appear in print, either under his name or that of any other. The article was written in its entirety by a British journalist, Adam Marshall Diston (1893-1956).

Winston Churchill was not available for comment.

Speculating on why the article never saw the light of day, he concluded: “In terms of its potential impact on public opinion, it was one thing to say these things in 1937 but quite different to say them in 1940 when Britain was at war.”

And to top it off nicely, Solzhenitsyn's book, Two Hundred Years Together hasn't found a translator or a publisher in the West.

Who was it said, if you want to know who rules you, identify whom you must not criticize...(paraphrased)

"I saw that too and I was a bit surprised because Graham is not usually like that. I read it exactly the way you did and since Graham knows a lot more than I do, I assume that Rosenstein is as dirty as the others."

Did you see that FReeper Karl Spooner posted a video of the Graham statement we're talking about? It's in his post #88 on this thread.

(Thanks again Karl)

From Russian Bolsheviks to American Socialists

By Alexander G. Markovsky

In December 1991, the world watched in amazement and trepidation as the communist empire spectacularly collapsed. The jubilation proved to be premature. Marxism adapted to a new reality and, in one of the most dramatic reversals of history, comfortably relocated to the United States, where it acquired a new life and malignancy within the Democratic Party.

In 2008 this ferment culminated in the election of Barack Obama who by 2016 had successfully transformed the Democratic Party into the de facto Social Democratic Party.

For those who are not familiar with the terminology:

Social democracy is a political ideology that has as its goal the establishment of socialism through implementation of a policy regime that includes, but is not limited to, high taxation, government regulation of private enterprises, and establishment of a universal welfare state.

Had Obama been succeeded by Hillary Clinton, America would have continued the smooth transition into socialism as planned. But as it often happens with the best-laid plans, life arranged some unexpected detours. What was near-universally seen as foreordained was preempted by the election of Donald Trump.

The collapse of high expectations did not shatter the socialists’ capacity to shape posterity. As the aspirations of the Bolshevik Revolution were being reincarnated in Vermont and exported to New York and California, the country inured to the world of unsustainable populist demands. The barrier separating utopia and reason is crumbling; growing embrace of free education, free health care, and a guaranteed minimum income by young people is an obvious indication of the rise of the socialist movement.

Yet, despite socialism’s increasing appeal, the Democrats are aware that “socialism” is still a dirty word in the political vocabulary and the population at large. Indeed, using the term socialism would be too forward leaning. So, they mask Marxist ideology by not mentioning the word “socialism” without the prefix “democratic.”

The “democratic” cannot conceal a commonality of the ideological vocabulary of the Democratic Party’s leadership with Marxism. Visceral hatred of capitalism and seductive promises of miraculous fulfilment of egalitarian dreams leave little doubt about the Party becoming a plagiarizing scum of Lenin’s faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) or Bolsheviks. Coincidentally they also had “democratic” in the party name.

Therefore, we shall not be confused by the ideological taxonomy. Democratic socialism promulgated by Bernie Sanders and his disciples is a socialist trojan horse disguised as an alternative to Marxism. Unlike the Bolshevik’s strategy of taking power via violent revolution, this one emulates the strategy of the Russian Mensheviks Julius Martov and Pavel Axelrod designed to enact socialism gradually and make it more palatable by installing the Hugo Chavezes of this world through the democratic process...read more

Alex Markovsky is a scholar of Marxism/ Leninism and a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research. He is an author of Anatomy of a Bolshevik and Liberal Bolshevism: America Did Not Defeat Communism, She Adopted It.

BERNIE SANDERS, WIKI

Bernard Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is an American politician who has served as the junior United States Senator from Vermont since 2007. Vermont’s at-large Congressman from 1991 to 2007, he is the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history and a member of the Democratic caucus. Sanders ran unsuccessfully for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president and is running again in 2020.

A self-described democratic socialist and progressive, Sanders is known for his opposition to economic inequality...

Sanders was born on September 8, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York City.[5][6][7][8] His father, Elias Ben Yehuda Sanders (1904–1962),[9] was born in Sopnice, Galicia, in Austria-Hungary (now part of Poland),[10][11] to a Jewish family. In 1921, Elias immigrated to the United States, where he became a paint salesman.[10][12][13] His mother, Dorothy Sanders (née Glassberg, 1912–1960), was born in New York City[14][15] to Jewish immigrant parents from Poland and Russia.[16][17]

It was very difficult for me to witness Jeff Session’s decision to recuse himself from AG matters relating to the Russia-collusion witch-hunt. However, in retrospect, I feel it gave the rabid and therefore careless left a wonderful opportunity to make fools of themselves—AGAIN...

Rosenstein tagged the partisan Mueller team, which failed spectacularly. The Mueller hit squad did not waste the opportunity, handed to them by the swamp dweller Rosenstein, to splash egg all over their faces.

I now patiently await Durham’s investigation to hopefully pry the lid off of the Obama, Hillary, Rosenstein, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, (et al.) garbage can of dirty dealing.

I guess it all boils down to which side God may be on. Sessions was a big mistake, but certainly nothing big enough for the Lord to not overcome. It had to be heading into a direction that was going against his will and overall plan. HE does this sort of stuff to foil enemies time and time again in the OT.
