What unites Gessen, Greenwald, Lears, and McCarthy obviously isn’t politics—rather, it’s the recognition that the Russiagate campaign represents an attack on American political and social institutions, an attack on our liberties, an attack on us. Russiagate is a conspiracy theory, weaponized by political operatives, much of the press, as well as high-level intelligence and law enforcement bureaucrats to delegitimize an American election and protect their own interests, which coincide with those of the country’s larger professional and bureaucratic elite.
By Lee Smith
Half the country hates Donald Trump, and even the half that thinks he’s doing a good job often flinch from his boorishness, his nasty public attacks, sometimes even on his own aides. For all the top talent he says he’s surrounded himself with, the president repeatedly attracts among the worst that Washington—and New York—have to offer. No doubt that’s one reason why whatever is thrown at him seems to stick.
At the same time, there is a growing consensus among reporters and thinkers on the left and right—especially those who know anything about Russia, the surveillance apparatus, and intelligence bureaucracy—that the Russiagate-collusion theory that was supposed to end Trump’s presidency within six months has sprung more than a few holes. Worse, it has proved to be a cover for U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement bureaucracies to break the law, with what’s left of the press gleefully going along for the ride. Where Watergate was a story about a crime that came to define an entire generation’s oppositional attitude toward politicians and the country’s elite, Russiagate, they argue, has proved itself to be the reverse: It is a device that the American elite is using to define itself against its enemies—the rest of the country.
Yet for its advocates, the questionable veracity of the Russiagate story seems much less important than what has become its real purpose—elite virtue-signaling. Buy into a storyline that turns FBI and CIA bureaucrats and their hand-puppets in the press into heroes while legitimizing the use of a vast surveillance apparatus for partisan purposes, and you’re in. Dissent, and you’re out, or worse—you’re defending Trump.
Recently, a writer on TheNew Yorker blog named Adrian Chen gave voice to the central dilemma facing young media professionals who struggle to balance their need for social approval with the demands of fact-based analysis in the age of Trump. In an article pegged to special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictments of the Internet Research Agency, Chen referenced an article he had written about the IRA for TheNew York Times Magazine several years ago. After the Mueller indictments were announced, Chen was called on to lend his expertise regarding Russian troll farms and their effect on the American public sphere—an offer he recognized immediately as a can’t-win proposition.
“Either I could stay silent,” wrote Chen, “and allow the conversation to be dominated by those pumping up the Russian threat, or I could risk giving fodder to Trump and his allies.”
In other words, there’s the truth, and then there’s what’s even more important—sticking it to Trump.
The Justice Department announced Wednesday it would hand over documents related to the Obama-era Fast and Furious gun scandal to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Former President Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder had previously refused to produce documents requested by Oversight, documents which former Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz at the time called “critical” to pursuing the investigation.
The original Fast and Furious operation — conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — somehow allowed nearly 2,000 firearms to find their way into the hands of Mexican cartel members.
Firearms connected to the program were found at multiple crime scenes in both the United States and Mexico, including the murder scene of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

#2NDAMREV: March 11 is Game On! #RedOctober Captured! #STORM
I confess. I was an #IBOR resister. It didn’t make sense to me since free speech is already guaranteed in our constitution.
But, thinking logically, the one thing that would scare the data-mining cabal the most is an articulated right to privacy when using the internet.
No more data mining for ads. No more algorithms screwing up how we communicate with others on Facebook. No more capturing my favorite soda to sell to a competitor who might want to make me buy something else.
Also, and really important to me, is the right to be forgotten. It’s already been adjudicated in Britain. Here’s a bit of the detail:
So if this continues to be a thing, think of it way beyond being censored for free speech. Think of it in terms of privacy, too. No more selling personal information. No more dedicated IPs to track your every move. No more email apps that pre-select your possible replies, because no more email being mined.
Mail could be configured with the same privacy rights as US mail, for example.
Last I’ll post on this one. But if it goes forward, please consider expanding the scope.
Also keep in mind that there’s more than the WH petition site to make your ideas known. Most of us have senators and congressmen to represent us in Washington, D.C. Maybe talk to a real person?

Free speech does not apply in a private co setting.
The risk?
Loss of revenue.
Backstopped by the circus.

Social media control is everything.
The age of the MSM is over.
Q
Who controls social media?
Who performs in a circus?
Who wrote the code to embed and censor across multiple platforms?
Why Russia?
Why China?
Why HK?
Why did ES (himself) arrange a C-link in multiple countries?

Q
How did @Snowden clear customs/immigration in HK AFTER the public release?
Why wouldn’t he FIRST travel to final destination prior to public release?
If wanted by the US govt would he be cleared to travel?
Who provided support to escape?
Who was the US after during this time?
JA – have you learned & eliminated L-6?
Use logic.
Q
@Snowden
We are going LIVE -24 [comb your hair].
Re: IBOR
This scares them more than anything.
Loss of control.
Use logic.
Nothing to do w/ AT&T.
Must be regulated to prevent censorship & narrative push.

Thank you to a beautiful soul and friend on facebook, I have finally been given a link to this Executive Order many have been speaking of. My own searches having proven futile. Here is the official White House link. Here is a link to the Annex (which is over 600 pages):
Editor’s note: Posting this at 11:44. I so much relate to this one and I hope it will inspire/fill-up some of you as well. Last year while in meditation I was shown and heard “You are a Wayshower”. I am not so much into labels but have appreciated that experience given the pieces I find on the term, which resonate fully. I have become SO sensitive to the energies of others ~ more than I have before. We had 3 people over yesterday and I wanted none of them near me. Not to be rude of course – it was purely an energy “thing”. I am very tuned inwardly now and feel – KNOW – this is my truth and is serving a purpose. Having read some other pieces about now being the time to GO DO and send out my energies to do this or that – which none of that resonates with me – the words below indeed resonate w/Who I Am. I am now aware each of us are here for our own reason/purpose so not all words will resonate with everyone. This IS a very individual process of transformation and awakening. I will write up and share a piece later as to what I am “receiving” today about this process. Lots of love and peace to every one of us…[wp-svg-icons icon=”heart-2″ wrap=”i”]

WAYSHOWERS:
At the exact point of the forthcoming ‘LIGHT WAVE’, certain humans will serve as energetic node points across GAIA. They are positioned accurately. As energetic nodes, their light will link up across the WHOLE of GAIA as a HUMAN GRID SYSTEM. They came in, this lifetime to do this, for humanity, for Gaia, her kingdoms, the solar system and beyond (ripple effect). They know who they are, they serve the WHOLE, period. So this post is specific to those individuals:
After recent Trigger Point (spurring the ‘loving detachment’ phase), came a rest period.
SELF CARE NOW / INCREASE and HOLD FREQUENCY:
Now we enter a period of SELF CARE and CLEAR OBSERVATION MODE, in order to be at optimum frequency at the time of the ‘LIGHT WAVE’. It is essential (and you know it) for this period, or will very soon realise this within. Self care means caring for all our bodies:
PHYSICAL BODY:
Sleep needs, food and fluid needs, exercise needs, skin/muscle/blood/nerve needs (your body will tell you what is required).
MENTAL BODY:
We have already pulled away from much. Yet there is a paramount need for awareness in what we allow into our own time and space. What drains you? Who drains you? Be aware and take action for the highest good (the ALL). Being aware of outside forces draining our energy field is paramount to ensuring, holding, rising to our highest frequency possible NOW. When helping another, are you simply ‘feeding’ them or is the assistance serving the whole? Being drained down of your own energy when participating in other human contact is something to look into, at INNER level.
EMOTIONAL BODY:
Our emotions are our indicator (gifted by our Higher Aspect), to show us how aligned we are in any one moment TO our Higher Aspect. There is a centralised point of balance, harmony, peace and bliss. There are energies either side of this serving as a barometer. Where some emotions are lower energy frequency and to the other side of the scale are higher energy bursts of frequency. The third dimensional construct labels human emotions, yet at their core truth, emotions are just energy at variable frequencies. It is essential at this time, pre-shift to observe our own frequency (via observation of our emotions), in order to adjust, work at, in order to BE the balance, BE the harmony, BE the peace, BE LOVE. And keep observing, keep adjusting back to central point of balance in these NOW times for we must BE the highest frequency at LIGHT WAVE, to serve as we intended to all along.
LIGHT BODY:
Work AS THE LIGHT BODY. For you are it NOW. You know that, so work as THAT for it is YOU. By now you know what to do from your inner guidance system. Connections increase and heighten now as intended per individual and their divine missions. It’s action time pre-WAVE. Gaia and her kingdoms, galactic, humans…are connecting NOW pre-Wave at increased levels, working together at energetic levels for the greatest good. As the human that connects the HUMAN GRID, you will be working (knowingly or unknowingly) with the other humans doing the same GRID task. This is focused work…be aware of anything ‘outside’ TRYING to distract away from this work.
DARK ENERGY:
Awareness in all moments now… up until LIGHT WAVE. Dark energy will try all methods to lower your frequency. They are aware of you. They will use whatever means, be it a sick relative, the elderly, friends, loved one, family, fellow Lightworkers and people just now awakening at this 11th hour who feel confused and panicked. Dark energies will LITERALLY use ANYONE with any weak spot they can enter. Use discernment and watch your own energies as a gauge. Guard your own energy with your own tools. The dark know what’s coming. So they will attempt to infiltrate the HIGH FREQUENCY humans who create the HUMAN GRID at LIGHT WAVE point, those that absorb the highest light on behalf of the ALL.
HELPING OTHERS:
For these ‘humans’ (starseeds) with this pre-agreed task, we have now reached (or you will reach very shortly) Self Care Mode (not selfish care mode…huge difference). We continue to help others yet will have AWARENESS at this juncture. At this 11th hour, we NOW discern where help will or can be of benefit. Yet quietly knowing each are divine aspects of Source, each having THEIR individualised experience within the illusionary scenario, and knowing all ARE LOVED and cared for. Each human chose this planet, at this time, and ARE responsible for their OWN energy having chosen their current path at pre-birth stage. As Love for ALL we continue to assist, but not at the expense of the GREATER PICTURE, or the expense of the ENERGY we have thus embodied, continue to embody for we have come here to BIRTH NEW energy through our physical bodies on behalf of the UNIFIED FIELD of ONE.
ENERGIES:
Naturally, as we embody more energy and become heightened frequency beings, we are able to withstand greater, more powerful energies with each current and ongoing incoming wave. These current and timely incoming energies WILL ONLY become stronger in order to build up our human body’s physical and mental ability to withstand the LIGHT WAVE at the highest capable INPUT to the human vehicle. At LIGHT WAVE point, energies will enter through the human vehicle thus creating MULTIPLE (repeat, multiple) wave patterns within the whole physical body. So not just one wave pattern will be felt within the body. Currently, in REAL time, we are physically and etherically building to this ability with each incoming. Yes it is currently felt as strong multiple energy patterns in the head, and more recently lighter patterns are being felt within the rest of the body…however, as a guide…the nearer to the LIGHT WAVE we get, the clearer and STRONGER the HEAD and BODY multiple patterns will be. We build, we withstand, we take it…because we can.
Starseeds…We came in to do this…it IS our mission. So NOW, we build ourselves, retain our highest frequency at all times, regardless. Use discernment, maintain your own frequency. It’s very much the time to be CLEAR about this.
