 Trump Failing: PollThe economy is the only area where Trump has majority approval and it’s going to slow down on way to a probable recession by 2020 before the election www.google.com Obama got us out of the recession and was rated the greatest President in the lifetime of most Americans today www.google.com and in contrast after even a failing economy catches up with him Trump will be considered the worst failure; far worse than even Nixon.

Polls Lie . . . www.google.com >> With all of the fake news (lies) of Mainstream Media, and their failure at predicting the election in 2016 one would think intelligent people would stop paying attention to their polls. One would think. One thing I would like to find out about you dmaestro, is why you and so many other anti-Constitutional Communists are so against this president who is saving America from the Globalist takeover of the world? Unless, you yourself are a Globalist that is. Are you? Also, please answer another question: Why are so gullible of the Mainstream Media? You know, don’t you that the Globalists also run the Mainstream Media, don’t you? << The economy is the only area where Trump has majority approval and it’s going to slow down on way to a probable recession by 2020 before the election www.google.com Obama got us out of the recession and was rated the greatest President in the lifetime of most Americans today www.google.com and in contrast after even a failing economy catches up with him Trump will be considered the worst failure; far worse than even Nixon. Just wait... >> You say President Trump’s approval is sliding. You say the slide will continue to the 2020 elections when the Democrats will beat him for the presidency. Why oh, why do you want Communistic Democrats in the White House?! Obama was a disaster for America is so many ways! Why do you continue to support him?! “Economists Agree: Trump Not Obama, Gets Credit for Economy” thehill.com << Trump Failing: Poll www.google.com The economy is the only area where Trump has majority approval and it’s going to slow down on way to a probable recession by 2020 before the election www.google.com >> Your DNC Communists HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER AMERICA. They can’t win. As long as they continue to offer failed Socialistic/ Communistic policies, for crying out loud. “Why Trump Will Win in 2020” Nearly a thousand days remain between us and Nov. 3, 2020, but President Trump is already making announcements about his next campaign. I feel comfortable saying that he has this thing in the bag. Trump is an uncouth, mean-spirited, delusional narcissist hated by the media. So was Richard Nixon in 1972, and he won re-election that year in the biggest landslide in American history. Like Nixon's, Trump's appeal among his base is foolproof. Even the slightest accomplishment can be presented as evidence of his deal-making savvy. Every promise he has failed to keep — on health care, trade, immigration, The Wall — can be answered away by invoking the specter of his enemies. Unlike Nixon or any president in recent memory, he has the benefit of being able to count the leadership of both parties among the latter. The GOP is fine with this arrangement. Mitch McConnell really will allow Trump to badmouth him in front of the American people if it means not having a Democrat in the White House. theweek.com << Obama got us out of the recession and was rated the greatest President in the lifetime of most Americans today www.google.com and in contrast after even a failing economy catches up with him Trump will be considered the worst failure; far worse than even Nixon. Just wait... >> “How Trump Recused the Economy From Obama’s Failed Policies” Just one day after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, famed New York Times writer Paul Krugman wrote, “It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? A first-pass answer is never … So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.” Nearly two years later, Krugman couldn’t possibly look more foolish, as President Trump has ushered in one of the most stunning and successful economic turnarounds in modern history. Under former President Barack Obama, the economy was stuck in neutral, but Trump has pushed the economic gas pedal firmly to floor by allowing businesses and individuals to control more of their own money and easing government-imposed restrictions that limited growth throughout Obama’s tenure. The evidence showing the widespread successes of the Trump administration is overwhelming. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the number of full-time employees in the United States has increased by 4 million since August 2016. Black and Hispanic unemployment has reached historic or near-historic lows (depending on the measure used), and the average unemployment rate for women in 2018 is now the lowest it’s been in 18 years. www.washingtonexaminer.com “Trump Has Reversed Every Single Failed Economic Policy of the Obama Era – Here is What Must Happen Next” Friday was a great day for America’s economy and the American people under the leadership of President Trump, as the Labor Department reported our nation’s unemployment rate fell to just 3.7 percent – the lowest level since 1969. Millions of us have never seen an unemployment this low in our entire lives. There is simply no denying the overwhelming success of the Trump economy. Need more evidence? • Hispanic and black unemployment are at historic lows, while female unemployment has reached a 50-year low. • Meanwhile, wages are increasing at the fastest pace in nearly a decade. • Manufacturing jobs completely reversed course. In the final year of President Obama’s term, the manufacturing sector lost 16,000 jobs. In the first year of the Trump administration, there was a gain of 196,000 manufacturing jobs. • Accordingly, and perhaps unsurprisingly, “American manufacturers are on track for their most optimistic year in at least two decades,” according to the National Association of Manufacturers. For nearly a decade before President Trump was elected in November 2016, Americans suffered through the worst economic recovery since World War II. (1) Because of the disastrous Obama-era failed liberal policies, manufacturing jobs fled, wages were flat, and millennials lost access to the job market. Everything changed when America elected a businessman and a job creator to be president of the United States. Immediately upon taking office, President Trump set out to cure the ills of the ailing U.S. economy.

The MSM is simply more accurate than right wing media as studies have shown. BBC is rated the most reliable of the news sources. There are times when I can say right wing media is off from personal knowledge so I see no reason to believe it while MSM has proven more accurate. Trump isn’t saving the country from globalists that is just a diversion. He is weakening the nation over the long term. He doesn’t have majority support for what he is doing and does not even care. That is unacceptable to me. |

The first thing I noticed from your post is you did not answer ANY OF MY QUESTIONS from the post I put up. Secondly, you have NOT POSTED any DOCUMENTATION! Where are you getting this information – other than your imagination, sir. Please, a little foot-work from you would not only carry credence, but would show me you are actually engaged in having a discussion, you know? |
||
|
Polling Accuracy The polls are slightly more accurate now than they were before 2016, and even 2016 the polls were as accurate as they have been since 1972. The polls accurately predicted the national election results in the 2016 presidential race, even though the missed some state races. Polls have never been 100% accurate, but they have improved considerably in the days since Dewey Beats Truman. That poll was so far off because it relied on reader response cards, and subscribers to the digest tended to be older and more conservative than the general public. |
||
|
Threading Up As the link indicates, Dmaestro is right. No one ever claimed the polls were 100% accurate. What I really wanted to find was how often they miss altogether. Is the accuracy rate 90%? Is it above that, or below it? I think the 2016 election is the first since BEFORE 1972 that national polls failed on the presidential race. (2016-1972)/4 = 11 election cycles. 10/11 = 91% accuracy. My gut feeling is that the polls are indeed about 90% accurate. If they are within 3% points, as they claim, then maybe they are closer to the 95-97% range. |

Questions What is a globalist? "A person who advocates the interpretation or planning of economic and foreign policy in relation to events and developments throughout the world." [Google] Sounds good to me. The US should not operate in a vacuum, nor absent consideration of the impact of our policy on the rest of the world. I thank the good Lord every day Obama was able to save planet Earth from the economic devastation wrought by the prior administration. We were headed for prolonged global economic depression, and he saved us. He saved us. Trump is setting the stage for a big repeat of the Bush economic disaster. Unchecked federal deficits, though in his case without the benefit of rescuing the world. Enormous unpaid corporate tax breaks. We are headed for doom, and instead of easing up Trump continues shoveling more coal into the firebox. |
||
|
Question II While I know this was directed at Dmaestro and not me, I do enjoy answering your questions. People say, "how come you never answer my questions?" And I respond, "what are you talking about? I ALWAYS answer questions. Except those by Romans, who promised to offer insight into issues with cosmology and then backed out. Sometimes I answer with, "I don't know," which I hope is perfectly acceptable so long as I avoid doing it very often. I guess it depends on the topic. But as for the media, they are honest, enjoy considerable integrity, exercise high standards for journalistic integrity, adhere to proper codes of conduct--such as not lying and pointing out when someone they interview IS lying. I like all that. Notable exceptions of course are Breitbart, Fox, and Infowars. Rush Limbaugh is another egregious liar, though he doesn't always deserve the bad press he gets. For example, Rush never claimed volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans. www.rushlimbaugh.com Limbaugh did not say that. He said more "pollutants and ash." And that is certainly true enough--though NOT more CO2. Had he singled out CO2, his statement would have been an outright lie. Even "pollutant" is hard to justify, given volcanoes are not (in general) man made. |

Trump Failing www.apnews.com We see Fox employees are being disciplined for taking talking points from Scott Pruitt during one of their interviews. It is nice to see some kind of endorsement of journalistic standards from the Fox organization. I assume by this action Rupert Murdoch's grip must be slipping a little bit. But in general--yes. Standards and practices are what gives us grounds for trusting the mainstream media. Granted--if the media interviews climate science deniers (politicians, housewives, shills paid by the fossil fuel industry and the Heritage Foundation, etc.) without balancing those with a preponderance of evidence and statements from actual scientists, then our trust SHOULD suffer. In fact, given 97% of the world's scientists endorse the consensus, I'd like to see about 97% of media time devoted in favor of climate science, and the clowns and bozos get 3% of the time to refute reality. Even 3% is generous, given that FAR less than 3% of climate scientists oppose the consensus. More than 2.5% (back when these polls were first conducted) simply were not convinced the evidence was sufficiently compelling to adopt the consensus--NOT that they disagreed with the findings. I offer the above only as an example for not being more trusting of the main stream media. And of course, none of this thread is directly concerned with the Declaration of Independence. I hope we retain it anyway, as I find the topic of interest. IHS--shall I continue with your other questions? |

Lord_shiva. . . "Obama Used Espionage Act Against Reporters More Than Any Other President" www.politifact.com And another source reporting same; freedom.press I will look into your post closer tomorrow, time permitting. Wonder why dmeastro isn't addressing these questions. Seriously considering placing this thread subject over at the other Club. What do you think? |

2A? Softaire, sometimes--but he tends not to weigh in if he agrees. |
||
|
Lord_shiva. . . No one there is qualified to discuss these matters >> That statement succinctly describes the rationale/ and attack mindset of the Leftist Deep State! Did you know that that was what the "Democratic Socialists" of Nazi Germany said. And what the totaltarian Communists said? And so they rounded up all the desenting voices they said were not "qualified" to be heard. This is going on in America today! Both zorro and obsteve are Leftist in their political views - what a surprise you should consider them qualified to speak on this matter. Didn't know zorro was a club member; have never seen any posts. Please, ask him to join this club or the 2A. |

A Dog is not a Cat Nazi Germany fascists were not democratic socialists. They were big on health care, which the Germans have enjoyed since the late 1800s. The only other way they represented socialism was that major industry controlled their government--which is what we have here. The Iraq War, for example, was pretty much planned and carried out by Halliburton and the US fossil fuel industry. Dick Cheney's secret energy cabal drafted Iraq War plans long before 9/11. You're right, Zorro is not a member of 2A. Those qualified to speak are the set who know real facts, not made up propaganda. John Heck, Mo-One, Baby Tiger, Apatzer, Obsteve, and maybe a couple of others. I cannot imagine Zorro has any interest in joining either 2A or here. But I should invite people to come join this club. Would you object if I invited Shirlmygirl or TennesseeHiker? Your club has five members. |

LOL! Infowars has a "real news" section? One that isn't embedded on their comics page? |
||
|
Lord_shiva. . . (from Infowars Real News)... Infowars has a "real news" section? One that isn't embedded on their comics page? >> Obviously, you have not watched any of David Knight's programs; yet you sit in judgment and ridicule? That means your mind is CLOSED and UNABLE to hear another point of view. Discussion is IMPOSSIBLE when people have such an attitude, isn't it? How CAN YOU SAY YOU UNDERSTAND me if you will NOT LISTEN to my point? ( Two questions have been asked - please, answer them ) If you'll listen to Real News, I promise you'll not hear the scripted fake news which us now brainwashing America. Sure, invite whoever. Not sure what they'll have to contribute. The more the merrier. Let them know I said that, too. |
||

Questions Two While you don't do that very much, have you read any of Andrew's posts? But in answer to your question--no, I haven't read any of David Knight's work. Let us look some up. From his page on the Infowars web site: Khashoggi cut to pieces alive as they played music. Will anyone be held accountable? I ponder the same question. Why won't this administration do anything about that? Is Pelosi doing inside trades--again? No, not only is she not, she never did before either. EU Army threatens new world war. Well, that is nonsense. The EU DOES need an army to defend itself from China, Russian, and the US, now that the US has abdicated its role as world policeman. Even President Trump explained this to them--that they were now on their own and could no longer count on the US to honor its NATO commitment. I cannot read these, they all connect to video content I cannot readily access. Plus, I don't really want to sit through expository compositions, especially the likes of Alex Jones. Maybe David Knight is much more reasonable and sensible, but his claim that human emissions of forty billion (40,000,000,000) tons of heat trapping gas per year cannot possibly have any negative environmental impact, while the REAL warming is the result of arcane geoengineering feats is loony bin talk. 2. How can you say you understand me if you will not listen to my point? I'm getting on in years. Can't really blame that for any lack of focus on my part, however. So tell me, Frank, what is your point? Threading back I think I overlooked it. |

Spencer Bachus & John Boehner I know how you like links. In the link above Nancy shows that she voted on consumer protection bills AGAINST the interests of Visa (in whom she and her husband had purchased stock and did ok). In contrast, the REAL insider trades were conducted by Republicans Bachus and Boehner, and likely plenty of others too. Nancy is innocent of the charges against her, but Bachus and Boehner are not, and of course Trump threw the rule book into a porta-potty. Are you familiar with how the lawsuits over his fake charities and real emoluments are wending through the courts? It isn't enough he shelled out millions over his fraudulent university. |

|
Nancy Pelosi Revisited www.csmonitor.com Nancy made three or four purchases of Visa stock, the first during the initial IPO and then three more at later times. None of these purchases were indicative of someone seeking a short term gain, and in fact she LOST $2000 to $5000 on her (so far) single sale of Visa stock. So where is the insider trading? Contrast this with Martha Stewart. An executive officer of Imogen told her about a decision the board was about to announce. She dumped her holdings, saving herself around $10,000 in potential losses. The woman is worth umpteen billion dollars--she could afford to lose the entire investment, but she chose to cheat other investors lacking her inside track. Anyway, because she herself isn't an insider, she couldn't really be prosecuted for any financial crime. Nancy Pelosi is not an insider either, but I do completely agree it is unseemly for legislators to trade on information they are privy to that isn't available to the general public. Case in point--Trump shorts Amazon, then bad mouths them, and profits handsomely off the stock price fall. www.thestranger.com I cannot accuse you of not hearing me or getting this point, because you pick up on everything I write, including things that sometimes I myself missed. I have to admit I admire this trait in you--you're extremely perceptive. I also suck at compliments. I have no reason to compliment you or butter you up. We do not see eye to eye on politics or on religion, as you are well aware. I just appreciate that you are nothing like Andrew, who is just a horrible human being. I know Apatzer sometimes attacks you, but I do believe he has the best of intentions. Like me, I think he sees enormous potential in you. Again, I couldn't say why--this is just my gut instinct, which unlike the gut instinct of Donald Trump actually does work. |

Environmental Change and Globalism is Anti-American << What is a globalist? "A person who advocates the interpretation or planning of economic and foreign policy in relation to events and developments throughout the world." [Google] Sounds good to me.

I thank the good Lord every day Obama was able to save planet Earth from the economic devastation wrought by the prior administration. We were headed for prolonged global economic depression, and he saved us. He saved us. >> The United States does not “operate in a vacuum”, sir. There is a Constitution upon which our legislators should turn to in helping steer the course of our country. Something President Trump has been endeavoring to do since before he took office two years ago. Advocating for America to concede or to accommodate domestic policies in place of policies which foreign conglomerates may formulate necessarily requires our abdicating national sovereignty over determining our individual future. As for Obama’s environmental policies go, you are being duped regarding “climate change” and its impact on our planet, sir. “Global Warming – Globalist Propaganda & Trillion Dollar a Year Scam” A great scientist named Roger Revelle had Al Gore in his class at Harvard and the Global Warming campaign was born. Revelle tried to calm things down years later, but Gore said Revelle was Senile and refused to debate. John Coleman documents the entire story (1) and shows how our tax dollars are perpetuating the Global Warming alarmist campaign even though temperatures have not risen in years and years… over 20 years. Now over 4.7 billion dollars a year in U.S. tax money is funding, and perpetuating, this 100 trillion dollar global warming scam. (1) youtu.be Global Warming is on its way to becoming a hundred trillion dollar scam. The New World Order politician’s goals are to have total power and control over all the people. These politicians are using powerful human motivators in climate change: Fear and Guilt. Our Fear… We fear our modern way of life will kill our children and grand children. We the people are being told that carbon dioxide is a toxic pollutant and must be curtailed. In fact without carbon dioxide above 150 parts per million, all plants would die. If these politicians succeed, food and energy will again be reserved for the rich and billions of humans will die of starvation or exposure. Cost of Our Guilt… According to Danish statistician Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, the President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center: “We will spend at least one hundred trillion dollars in order to reduce the temperature─ by the end of the century─ by a grand total of three tenths of one degree...the equivalent of postponing warming by less than four years...Again, that is using the UN's own climate prediction model.” “Global Warming a Hoax: Best Document Ever” youtu.be “Video Part 1: 97 % of Scientists Claim it is a Scam” www.facebook.com “Global Warming is a Blatant Lie: and this Video Proves It” youtu.be www.linkedin.com And this environmental protection policy on America was not properly studied for the negative impact, neither. “Obama’s Climate Plan Was a Failure on All Accounts” Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt officially began the process of rolling back the incorrectly named Clean Power Plan. No matter how states would have developed their plans, the economic damages would have been felt through higher energy costs and fewer job opportunities. Congress should pass legislation prohibiting the EPA and other agencies from implementing harmful regulations that stunt economic growth. www.heritage.org Finally, on this post, let me assert that your Globalist advocacy is counterproductive and dangerous to America’s future. I assert that America’s freedoms and traditional way of living would be jeopardized eventually erased were your Secular/ Humanist ideologies implemented in America. |

IHS I can appreciate why DM didn't bother to answer your questions, but I'll do what I can. Your questions (I found two): 1: Why are we so gullible of the Mainstream Media? Who’s “we” --- It’s certainly not me and I doubt that it's DM. You must be referring to yourself --- Fox news watchers are full of delusional types. 2: Obama was a disaster for America is so many ways! Why do you continue to support him?! “Economists Agree: Trump Not Obama, Gets Credit for Economy” False questions are unanswerable by any means other than “because Pigs can fly”, etc. The remainder of your 1st comment in this forum appears to be far-right bull-bray.

Mainstream Media Lies They told us about the Trump Tower meeting with Russians, and we continue finding out more and more about that--there were more Russians than Don let on, the talks concerned much more than just adoptions, dirt was offered. We find out the Trump Tower Moscow project had NOT been placed on hold but that they were working on the project throughout Trump's campaign. The only time I'm aware of egregious main stream media lies is when they interview some dunderhead regarding climate change and fail to balance that with real science opinions at about 100 to 1. |

The Real Story Being Ignored! While the mainstream media is chasing their tail about supposed Trump-Russia collusion, the scandal involving Uranium One unfolds to expose a Clinton-Russia connection as well as a stunning coverup by the Obama administration. Rather than reporting real news, they continue to churn out phony news that Russia swayed the 2016 election with Facebook ads and a hodgepodge of other thus-far debunked Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theories. The Clintons' chief political go-to guy Mark Penn recently disproved the conspiracy theory that Russia swayed the 2016 election with $100,000 in Facebook ads.Penn wrote in the Wall Street Journal that in the end, only $6,500 was spent on "actual electioneering" and most ads "did not solicit support for a candidate." Even if $100,000 was spent on actual electioneering, compare that to the Clintons' multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme going on while Russia was conspiring to grab 20-percent of U.S. uranium reserves with the acquisition of Uranium One. As I wrote in a March column, Uranium One is a Russian-owned uranium mining company that lobbied the Obama State Department through a firm co-founded by Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta. Uranium One fell under the corporate control of Russia's atomic energy agency Rosatom through a series of transactions approved by Hillary Clinton's State Department, effectively giving Russia control of 20 percent of U.S. uranium - while a flow of cash found its way to the Clinton Foundation. All told, Newsweek reports $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation or its initiatives from those linked to Uranium One. Former President Bill Clinton also received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank promoting Uranium One stock with ties to the Kremlin. Additionally, the chairman of Uranium One is a close friend of the Clintons and is on the board of the Clinton Foundation, according to Peter Schweizer, author of "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich." Fast forward to now. Enter: Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller and James Comey - the same folks investigating the so-called Trump-Russia collusion investigation were also involved in Uranium One. www.jacksonsun.com “Understanding the Uranium One Scandal” Uranium One “scandal” Timeline Perhaps the most damning evidence today, however, exists in the form of a FBI informant who possesses video and audio evidence and documentation to support the allegations of the use of positions of power and influence to sell one of our nation’s most important natural resources, and the abuse of power to cover it up. Peter Schweizer, author of Clinton Cash, The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, was one of the first to document the story behind what has become known as the Uranium One scandal. Mr. Schweitzer painstakingly detailed the events that led to the transfer of 20% of uranium from the United States to Russia through a complex and confusing maze of domestic and foreign businesses. Building upon that foundation, the American public is now learning much more. The information being uncovered is creating an even stronger case of self-enrichment at the cost of national security. The Uranium One “scandal” is not a scandal at all, but a host of potential crimes against the United States. Not just one crime, but many overlapping crimes. It not only involves the Clintons, but many others who potentially conspired to use their positions of power and political influence to facilitate one of the most egregious crimes against America—and others who assisted in covering it up. The following is presented as a detailed (but not exhaustive) outline, in chronological format, of key people and events comprising what is known as the Uranium One scandal. It is intended as a reference resource for those truly desirous to understand the depth and scope of one of the most disturbing allegations of criminality in modern U.S. history. canadafreepress.com |

|
You DO Realize There is no cover up. There is no scandal. It is false the Clinton's received any money for any political favors. All these allegations are bogus and completely without merit. Now, the Trump administration has apparently ordered the FBI to investigate its political rivals, with primary focus on Hillary and Uranium One, but that was about a year ago and so far has amounted to the nothing-burger it always was. en.wikipedia.org "The Uranium One controversy refers to the sale of Uranium One to Rosatom, which American conservative media and Republican politicians characterized as a bribery scandal involving Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. No evidence of wrongdoing has been found after three years of allegations." So a lot of smoke and hollering, by political hacks with axes galore to grind, but no actual fire. Mostly just mirrors and a couple of smoke grenades. In conservative land, an ounce of accusation is worth a pound of hard evidence, unless of course it's THEIR guy standing accused. Then it becomes, "well the evidence IS indisputably rock solid, but collusion isn't a crime in the first place, or pedophilia isn't really a crime at all, etc." |

More Mockingbird Media Subterfuge! “FBI Uncovered Russian Bribery Before Obama Administration Approved Controversial Nuclear Deal With Moscow” Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews. Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show. They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill. Read that last again: THEY ALSO OBTAINED AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT – BACKED BY DOCUMENTS – INDICATING RUSSIAN NUCLEAR OFFICIALS HAD ROUTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE U.S. DESIGNED TO BENEFIT FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON’S CHARTIBLE FOUNDATION DURING SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON SERVED ON A GOVERNMENT BODY THAT PROVIDED A FAVORABLE DECISION TO MOSCOW. thehill.com “FBI’s 37 Secret Pages of Memos About Russia, Clinton and Uranium One” thehill.com What do you suppose these memos reveal? The corruption within the FBI before Trump took office accounts for lack of convictions to date. “FBI Head Proves Washington Has Vendetta Against Trump” nypost.com “Code Named Crossfire Hurricane: The Secret Origins of the Trump Investigation” www.nytimes.com |
||
|
It turns out that none of this is even remotely true, from beginning to end. There wasn't any controversy about the deal in 2010, the controversy was all manufactured years later in a fake political campaign to smear Hillary Clinton. Moscow does not gain control of any American uranium, per se. Instead they own a large portion of a Canadian mining company that has uranium contracts. If they refuse to mine the ore, those contracts are nullified, and may the be sold to another company. NONE of the ore mined may be shipped to Russia, or to any country not on the short list of close allies. I think France can buy it enriched to 3%, well below bomb grade. But I'm not certain of that. There is no evidence of bribery, kickbacks, extortion, or money laundering associated with the Rosatom acquisition. Had there been, the deal would not have made it to the State Department in the first place. Trump is seeking to use the FBI to launch numerous nuisance investigations against his political opponents, both to harass them and to distract from his own growing legal problems. nymag.com |
