Has Senator Rubio been asleep all these years?
Senator Marco Rubio (Simpleton-Florida), needs to spend less time chasing cameramen and more time reading up on current events... though if he's just following the "news" presented by the mainstream media, it's easy to see why he might not know what's going on the world.
Appearing on CNN Wednesday to discuss Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's connection to the murder of CIA agent and "journalist" Jamal Khashoggi, Rubio said something that made me snort coffee out of my nose.
After outlining his position that bin Salman, also known as MBS, at least knew in advance of Khashoggi's murder if he didn't outright sanction it, Rubio said something needed to be done to rein in MBS's reckless behavior. Otherwise, "he's going frankly pull us into a war one day with some recklessness."
Um. Senator. We've been fighting Saudi Arabia's wars since at least 1991, when Operation Desert Storm started. We're currently helping them fight wars in Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen... and likely other places we haven't heard about.
It's absurd to think MBS's "recklessness" is what's going get us into more wars. There's not much of anyone left to attack in the Middle East, save Iran. And it's Rubio, the neocon warmongers and the MSM that's trying to start wars with Iran, Russia and even China.
I'm beginning to think you're not even smart enough to be a one of us rubes. You must be a politician.
Manafort and Assange
Last week the UK's Deep State mouthpiece The Guardian broke a bombshell, claiming that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort "held secret talks" inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London with WikiLeaks' Jullian Assange, and visited him around the time he joined the Trump campaign.
According The Guardian's "sources," Manafort saw Assange in 2013, 2015 and in the spring of 2016. The implication was — as special persecutor Robert Mueller was putting the finishing touches on Manafort's Russiagate charging memo — that Manafort gained access to emails allegedly hacked from the Democrat National Committee that helped Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
Trouble is, Manafort's passports are in Mueller's possession. They don't show any visits to England at the times The Guardian claims. Both Manafort and Assange deny any visits took place. And Fidel Narváez, the former consul and first secretary at the Ecuadorian Embassy from 2010 to 2018 says it never happened.
As The Canary reports:
It is impossible for any visitor to enter the embassy without going through very strict protocols and leaving a clear record: obtaining written approval from the ambassador, registering with security personnel, and leaving a copy of ID. The embassy is the most surveilled on Earth; not only are there cameras positioned on neighbouring buildings recording every visitor, but inside the building every movement is recorded with CCTV cameras, 24/7. In fact, security personnel have always spied on Julian and his visitors. It is simply not possible that Manafort visited the embassy.
In other words, The Guardian just published fake news. It's not surprising. The Guardian is the mouthpiece of UK Deep State. MI-6 is up to its eyeballs in the phony Trump-Russia collusion story and they're doing everything they can to keep news of their participation under wraps.
National Republican Congressional Committee hacked
Some stories are real head scratchers, and this one, at first glance, is one of them. The National Republican Congressional Committee has reported it was hacked during the 2018 election despite having hired CrowdStrike, a cyber firm supposedly expert at preventing such a thing.
CrowdStrike allegedly has a lot of experience in hacking. We're told that it was CrowdStrike that was handling cybersecurity for the DNC when it was "hacked" by Russians. According to the official narrative, CrowdStrike detected the hacks and thought it had stopped them, but they continued for months afterward.
Of course, the only evidence we have that Russians hacked the DNC comes from CrowdStrike. The DNC didn't allow the FBI to access its servers. The boss told you all of this almost two years ago, as well as providing for readers a breakdown of just who CrowdStrike is.
So why would the NRCC hire a firm with such a lousy track record of providing cybersecurity? Well, it's because of who CrowdStrike is and who they work for.
Which goes to once again prove what Bob Livingston has been telling us for years. There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats in Washington. They serve the same masters and seek the same ends.
