US Spies Conned Into Delivering $100,000 in a Suitcase to Berlin Hotel Room — Were Offered Dirt on Trump

A National Security Agency breach that actually took place several years ago is still having repercussions today as more and more damaging information comes out.

A group called the Shadow Brokers has been strategically leaking information and publicly identifying people whose job descriptions and projects were classified since late summer of 2016:

Current and former agency officials say the Shadow Brokers disclosures, which began in August 2016, have been catastrophic for the N.S.A., calling into question its ability to protect potent cyberweapons and its very value to national security. The agency regarded as the world's leader in breaking into adversaries’ computer networks failed to protect its own.

“These leaks have been incredibly damaging to our intelligence and cyber capabilities,” said Leon E. Panetta, the former defense secretary and director of the Central Intelligence Agency. “The fundamental purpose of intelligence is to be able to effectively penetrate our adversaries in order to gather vital intelligence. By its very nature, that only works if secrecy is maintained and our codes are protected.”

In the months since, the NSA has been working to recover the cyber weapons stolen in that breach — and when a Russian figure came forward offering to deliver them, the NSA made a deal. It agreed to pay $1 million and delivered the first $100,000 cash payment in a suitcase to a hotel in Berlin.

In addition to the cyber weapons, however, the Russian promised “compromising” information that could damage President Donald Trump — information that the American spies say they told him they did not want.

But according to The New York Times, the whole deal fell through — leaving the American spies out $100,000 and short the promised cyberweapons:

Several American intelligence officials said they made clear that they did not want the Trump material from the Russian, who was suspected of having murky ties to Russian intelligence and to Eastern European cybercriminals. He claimed the information would link the president and his associates to Russia. Instead of providing the hacking tools, the Russian produced unverified and possibly fabricated information involving Mr. Trump and others, including bank records, emails and purported Russian intelligence data.

Those involved said that they initially became wary that the deal was not on the up and up because the Russian insisted so heavily on including the compromising information he claimed to have on Trump and then quickly dropped his asking price from $10 million to $1 million when the Americans began to lose interest.

Steven L. Hall, the former chief of Russia operations at the CIA, pointed out the real challenge in dealing with Russian informants: “The distinction between an organized criminal and a Russian intelligence officer and a Russian who knows some Russian intel guys — it all blurs together.”

Chuck Schumer had to look twice when he saw the results of this poll Democrats and their allies in the so-called “mainstream” media have been counting down the days until the November midterm elections. They think it’s a shoe-in that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi will be running Congress in 2019. But Schumer and the rest of the Democrats did a double take when the results of a brand new poll began to circulate. The latest Politico/Morning Consult survey found Republicans building momentum on voter’s perception of them handling issues like immigration, the economy, jobs and national security. Breitbart reports: “On the question of who voters trust more to handle key issues, voters have moved away from Democrats and towards Republicans… Economy June 2017: Democrats 40 / Republicans 42 — R+2 February 2018: Democrats 36 / Republicans 45 — R+9 Republican gain of +7 Job Creation June 2017: D 40 / R 42 — R+2 February 2018: D 37 / R 43 — R+6 Republican gain of +4 National Security June 2017: D 37 / R 43 — R+6 February 2018: D 33 / R 46 — R+13 Republican gain of +7 Immigration June 2017: D 40 / R 43 — R+3 February 2018: D 37 / R 43 — R+6 Republican gain of +3 Energy June 2017: D 44 / R 34 — D+10 February 2018: D40 / R 36 — D+4 Republican gain of +6” Democrats ended 2017 on a high note. They thought the anti-Trump media accomplished their mission of turning the American people against the President. Democrats would then ride a toxic political environment to victory in 2018. But after Republicans in Congress passed Trump’s tax cut bill, Americans began to take stock of the booming economy and handed the credit to Trump and his policies. The Democrats already face a difficult senate map. They are defending 10 seats on states Trump won. Any uptick in support for the President and his party will doom their chances of winning control of the Senate in November. We will keep you up to date on any new developments in the election 2018.   The moral outrage of Mitch McConnell’s cowardly leadership The wrong senator from Kentucky is the Republican majority leader. by Chris Pandolfo Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images

A travesty occured in the chambers of Congress last night and early this morning. Republicans in Congress exposed themselves as hypocrites and frauds by passing an unconscionable two-year budget deal that will explode this year’s deficit and add $1.5 trillion to the debt. This is a level of spending that is three times larger than government spending in President Obama’s final year in office. A majority of Republicans in both chambers of Congress voted for the bill, and President Trump signed it Friday morning. Whatever pretense of fiscal conservatism the Republican Party once professed has vanished from all but a few conservatives in Congress. In the United States Senate, Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., stood in objection to the Republican Party’s fundamental betrayal of conservative principles. He was joined by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. Paul held up the Senate vote Thursday evening, triggering a short government shutdown in the middle of the night. In a lengthy speech on the Senate floor, Paul criticized his colleagues for assailing government spending under President Obama and then outdoing Obama under President Trump. “So the reason I’m here tonight is to put people on the spot. I want people to feel uncomfortable,” Paul said on the Senate floor. “I want them to have to answer people at home who said, ‘How come you were against President Obama’s deficits and then how come you’re for Republican deficits?’ Isn’t that the very definition of intellectual dishonesty? If you were against President Obama’s deficits, and now you’re for the Republican deficits, isn’t that the very definition of hypocrisy?” It is, on both counts. And the liars and the hypocrites are outraged that Sen. Paul would dare expose them as such. Republicans are savaging Sen. Paul in the media. Sen. John Thune, the number three Republican in the Senate, called Paul’s actions “a colossal waste of time.” “He wanted attention and he got attention,” said Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Penn., went so far as to suggest it’s “easy to understand why it’s difficult to be Rand Paul’s next door neighbor.” Dent is referring to the neighbor who assaulted Sen. Paul, breaking several of his ribs and putting him in the hospital. But receiving disgusting comments like that are the norm when you expose the swamp, as Sen. Paul has done. So are accusations of “grandstanding.” Paul is being criticized for taking breaks from his Senate speeches to make appearances on cable news. Some call this “Kabuki theater.” It is better understood as taking his case directly to the American people when the leaders of his party refuse to do so. What is truly disheartening, truly outrageous, is that Paul’s demand was entirely reasonable. He wanted a half-hour: fifteen minutes to debate an amendment to the spending bill that would respect the budget caps Republicans in Congress fought for when Obama was president, and fifteen minutes after that to hold a vote on keeping spending in accord with those budget caps. Republican leadership denied this request. The official line was that if Sen. Rand Paul was allowed a vote on his amendment, other senators would each demand votes on their own amendments. Is this not absurd? Votes?! What is this, the United States Senate?! How could Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., possibly let elected representatives represent their constituents by voting? And there is the problem. This Republican hypocrisy, this betrayal, is a result of failed leadership. Senator McConnell has once again proven that as a leader, he will not fight for a conservative legislative agenda. Under his “leadership,” the Senate has abandoned the regular order of passing a budget and twelve separate appropriations bills to fund the government, in favor of passing continuing resolutions to run up the clock to the last minute. Under this scheme, senators can be pressured to vote for massive spending bills they do not support because the alternative is shutting down the government. As Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., demonstrated yesterday, any conservative who objects to massive, irresponsible deficit spending will be shamed and accused of holding the military hostage. It is, frankly, sickening to see the lengths to which the Republican establishment will go to maintain the status quo of ever-growing government. It does not have to be this way. As Sen. Paul explained on the Senate floor Thursday night, a reformed process in which the Senate spends the first three months of the year conducting hearings on spending and then passes a budget will end, once and for all, these shutdown crises. Permitting Senators to debate individual spending provisions, to offer amendments, to conduct their business in the light of day would allow both parties show the American people where they stand. But leader McConnell holds the keys to this process, and he would rather the business of government be done in the dead of night. By refusing a vote on Sen. Paul’s amendment, he shielded liberal Republicans from voting against budget caps they once supported. By passing a two-year budget deal and raising the debt ceiling, McConnell shielded liberal Republicans from having tough fights on spending during an election year. He does not want to fight because fighting is difficult. Fighting means taking a position and defending it to the American people. Fighting means putting the Republican majority at risk to do what is right. Fighting means putting McConnell’s position as majority leader at risk. And so McConnell does not want to fight, and the government grows. There are consequences for this cowardice. The national debt has already eclipsed the value of all the wealth produced in America. As the government continues to spend beyond our means, interest payments on the debt will continue to get bigger and bigger. With interest rates rising, these payments will consume a larger portion of the federal budget, which will force Congress to raise taxes on American families to avoid default. As these interest payments grow, there will be less money for our welfare state. The government will be unable to write Social Security checks. It will not make Medicare and Medicaid payments. The economy will shrink, people will lose their jobs, and there will be no unemployment insurance. There will be no money to fund our military. The irresponsibility of Congress and the Republican leadership today risks a great financial collapse that will cause the ultimate government shutdown. Tea Party conservatives once understood this. In 2009, conservatives across the United States rose up to object to President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party’s profligate and irresponsible levels of government spending. Tea Party protests broke out across the nation. Tea Party candidates ran for Congress campaigning for fiscal sanity, for balanced budgets, for an end to dangerous deficit spending. In 2010, Tea Party conservative voters delivered at the polls and sent these candidates to Congress. The Republican Party took the majority in the House of Representatives, and in 2014 they took the Senate. In 2016, conservative voters delivered the presidency to the Republican Party. The great work that began with the Tea Party has culminated today in a self-defeating Republican majority that renders the blood, sweat, and tears of these patriots as worthless as the campaign promises of the governing majority. “When the Democrats are in power, Republicans appear to be the conservative party,” Paul said. “But when Republicans are in power, it seems there is no conservative party. The hypocrisy hangs in the air and chokes anyone with a sense of decency or intellectual honesty.” It is past time for new leadership in Congress. If the Republican Party will not deliver it, conservatives must look elsewhere. Editor’s note: This article has been updated to note that Sen. Mike Lee joined Sen. Rand Paul in objection in the Senate. How can human liberty turn into slavery without the people's knowledge? Gradualism is the key. Anything can be accomplished with gradualism, so there is no need for absolute military conquest. Whether it takes 50 years or 100, the elites don't care. They're patient. So how do they do it? Change the monetary system to fiat, i.e., paper money. This replaces wealth with fiat and transfers it to the State via inflation and depreciation of the currency. Have a graduated income tax. Create wars. Keep race stirred up with class warfare. Destroy the family — put the wife to work. Promote homosexuality. Glorify it along with any variants such as unisex and/or transgenderism in order to promote all types of perversion. Create government schools under the name of free public education. Dumb the people down so they can't think. Promote "brotherly love" — altruism. Denigrate women. Hold and maintain all the historic free-sounding names like constitution, privacy rights, private property, American flag, voting rights, democracy, elected representatives, free press, etc. while perverting the institutions themselves. Use very elite and refined propaganda to sway the public on all issues. Keep the public ignorant on gold (real money). Erase it from memory. Control guns and weaponry. Cultivate the public to fear guns by promoting the idea that guns are dangerous. Inflate gun accidents and gun incidents on nationwide media. Sensationalize the negative. Keep the trusted gang (the deep state) in power no matter who is president. Manipulate government statistics — inflation, jobs, money supply. Promote peace and manufacture arms for export. Be the world's number one arms manufacturer and exporter of terrorism. Harass people with "foreign bank accounts" while having the largest tax haven in the world with and through U.S. banks within the U.S. Enslave the world with fiat called euphemistically a "reserve currency." Don't allow the gold standard anywhere in the world. Call land ownership "private property" but have perpetual and increasing property taxes. Confuse the terms liberal, conservative, socialist, communist, fascist, democrat, republican and especially democracy. One of the greatest deceptions of all Persuade the public that there is a "national debt" and "deficit spending." This ruse implies legitimate accounting. The public must not know and must never know that a fiat system implies default from its inception. How, my friends, can there be debt when everybody knows that fiat is created to infinity at no cost? Do we really think the Pentagon "lost" trillions of dollars? This is a false premise promoted by the media. The money was not lost. It was spent on exactly what the elites and the deep state desired it to be spent on without the public's knowledge. The money is simply disappeared with accounting. The same applies to banking. A bank grants "loans" to you to buy a home or some other large ticket item and calls it your debt, but is it? The bank just created the account out of nothing. It does not even need to have an equal amount of money in its coffers to make the loan. It cost the bank nothing, but the bank calls it your debt or your mortgage and you believe that you have debt. The bank invests in you without risk. If you are unable to pay your mortgage the bank forecloses. It has taken hold of real property under the guise of the consumer having defaulted on the loan without putting a dime of its own money at risk. The banks and quasi-governmental institutes like Fannie Mae own a majority of the houses and land and this is economic freedom? Gradualism and deception No dear reader, with the above accomplished the American system is quietly and imperceptibly converted to communism. The American system over the last 100 years has, through gradualism, become benevolent totalitarianism. It is a seductive system of psychological warfare coupled with a highly oppressive legal and financial system that essentially puts the people in an economic and political straitjacket while keeping them believing that they are free. Following are the 10 planks of communism. See if you recognize any — or all — of these in America today: Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. (Private property rights are almost nonexistent today. You don't own your property if it can be confiscated for non-payment of tribute to the king, or if a government agency like the Environmental Protection Agency can arbitrarily tell you what you can and can't do with it.) A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (Accomplished via the American tax system. Enforced via the Gestapo-like Internal Revenue Service.) Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (Accomplished via the estate tax.) Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (Accomplished via rendition and drug laws allowing law enforcement to confiscate property if it is suspected of being used in the trade or manufacture of drugs — often without evidence.) Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. (Accomplished via the Federal Reserve, which is not Federal and doesn't hold "reserves.") Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. (Accomplished via the Federal Communications Commission and the regulated airline industry, Amtrak, public transportation and the regulated auto industry. Further attempts being made to seize more power through control of the Internet.) Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of wastelands and the improvement of the soil, generally in accordance with a common plan. (Accomplished through price controls on the utilities via their government-supported monopolies and subsidies tax policies that benefit favored industries or penalize those out of favor.) Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (Industrial armies accomplished through regulations favoring/subsidizing unions.) Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equitable distribution of the populace over the country. (In progress via Agenda 21, "sustainable development" communities, etc.) Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. (Accomplished via the public indoctrination system called public education under the control of the Federal government, child labor laws which are, in fact, anti-work laws.) These planks are all supported by the major political parties and their politicians. Is this freedom under a republic? Or is this something else? I've said it before, and it bears repeating: communism = socialism = fascism = democracy. The labels are important to the global elite only insofar as they deceive the masses. We cannot escape this creeping American communism until our intellect overpowers spiritual and political deception. Eventually we get the great revelation that politics and organized religion are more alike than they are different. This is the master key and the essential ingredient. This is the key to understanding. Yours for the truth, Bob Livingston Editor, The Bob Livingston Letter™ Sexual Misconduct BY V SAXENA When the #MeToo movement first emerged last year because of since-exposed Hollywood pervert Harvey Weinstein, it initially centered around women rightly exposing the slimy men who had sexually harassed and/or abused them. As time progressed, however, the movement devolved into a veritable witch-hunt, and now, months later, it seems like the #MeToo craze has experienced a stunning reversal, with the same women who originally championed it now themselves being called out for inappropriate behavior. Case in point: Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, a California legislator who served as one of the “leading voices” of the #MeToo movement, has herself been accused of sexually harassing and groping two men, according to a shocking report published this week by Politico. One of the accusers, Daniel Fierro of Cerritos, revealed that during his tenure as a staffer to Assemblyman Ian Calderson, a reportedly drunk Garcia “cornered him alone” after an annual Assembly softball game and “squeezed his buttocks and attempted to touch his crotch.” The second accuser, whom Politico described as a “prominent Sacramento lobbyist,” experienced something similar when Garcia drunkenly propositioned him during a fundraiser at a bar in Sacramento. Garcia “was whispering real close and I could smell the booze and see she was pretty far gone,” the lobbyist said. “She looked at me for a second and said, ‘I’ve set a goal for myself to f*** you.'” The #MeToo Assemblywoman then reached for and grabbed his crotch, spurring him into blurting out, “That ain’t gonna happen.” Apparently, when Garcia championed the phrase #MeToo, what she actually meant was that she too is a pervert. The irony is rich, especially given how vocal this woman has been on social media and elsewhere about her #MeToo activism. “How many victims must come fwd before there are real consequences for predators w/in our legislature?” she wrote in one tweet last November. “How often are we manipulated into prioritizing the abuser over the abused? How often are we being suckered into a side of a debate that we shouldn’t even be having? – how about due process for the victims?” she tweeted two months ago. She obviously wasn’t a fan of due process. Below are more tweets: No one should have to wait for an investigative article to know the truth about the kind of environment they work in. I'm working with @SEIU1000 on a bill to create a centralized mechanism to track sexual harassment complaints in state government. https://twitter.com/asmgarcia/status/956962831471005696 … Cristina Garcia@AsmGarcia I didn’t know I was part of the story. That I was pictured and added to a timeline of this reckoning. It’s an awkwardly humbling experience, but I am proud of this work and the company I am in. I hope you’ll pick up a copy of @TIME &read about the bravery.#MeToo #WeSaidEnough 2:26 PM - Dec 15, 2017 The latter tweet referenced a photo of Garcia included in Time magazine’s “Persons of the Year 2017” issue, which had been dedicated to women affiliated with the #MeToo movement. Following the publication of Politico’s report, Garcia “announced she was taking immediate unpaid leave from her position in a statement Friday,” according to Time magazine (ironically enough). Interestingly, her statement sounded awfully similar to the one issued by Weinstein after allegations against him first surfaced last year. “Upon reflection of the details alleged, I am certain I did not engage in the behavior I am accused of,” Garcia said. Uh huh … “However, as I’ve said before, any claims about sexual harassment must be taken seriously, and I believe elected officials should be held to a higher standard of accountability,” she continued. “Therefore, I am voluntarily taking an immediate unpaid leave from my position in the State Assembly, including any accompanying committee assignments, so as not to serve as a distraction or in any way influence the process of this investigation.” It sounds like she suddenly believes in due process for the accused. How very convenient and immensely hypocritical. In other words, how unsurprisingly liberal of her.   G’ day…Ciao… Helen and Moe Lauzier
