Particularly frightening scenario of Deep State in the UK and the US - Maajid Nawaz

 

Remember when the intelligence community in the US was collecting endless phone data from its citizens for unknown use. This makes that program look like playing with crayons.

Maajid Nawaz from Italy on the Pope's encyclical address warning about Ai: “Peter Thiel’s Palantir as a company, using the UK as a case study, already has, due to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, already has contracts to manage the nation’s, all of the nation’s health data unified on one platform and that health data being interpreted as it is by Palantir’s autonomous AI, making life and death decisions on the nation’s health. Palantir also separately has a contract with the Metropolitan Police using a combination of not just facial recognition but predictive programming to determine crime and to set the police’s priorities. This is something that, they already have this deal with the Metropolitan Police, but in addition, if you add Palantir’s contracts with the Ministry of Defence in the UK, like it has in the Department of Defence in the United States of America, you can see how a combination of health data, domestic crime surveillance and foreign war-mongering, being all under the auspices of one private company called Palantir, in the UK and in the US, it’s the same, it is a particularly worrying scenario.”

Remember Jim Caviezel's 'Person of Interest'? That was predictive programming. Remember the government were the bad guys in that series. I have no reason to believe it will be otherwise in real life.

Russia > No plans to attack EU or NATO - Estonian Intelligence

 

Russia not planning to attack NATO – Estonian intelligence

The assessment comes as European members of the bloc have begun building up their militaries, citing what they claim is a threat from Moscow

Moscow poses no threat to Estonia in the coming years, the NATO member’s Foreign Intelligence Service (EFIS) has concluded in its annual report. The document was published as the US-led military bloc’s European members are conducting a massive military buildup, citing an alleged Russian threat.

Western officials have long used the threat of allegedly looming Russian aggression to justify military spending spikes such as Brussels’ €800 billion ($948 billion) ReArm Europe plan and NATO members’ pledge to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. Moscow has rejected any claims it poses a threat to NATO as “nonsense.”

The EFIS sees no risk of a Russian attack and is “likely to reach a similar assessment next year,” it concluded in its annual threat assessment report published on Tuesday. “There is… no cause for panic,” concludes the report, which is almost entirely dedicated to assessing Russian policies and the state of its military.

“Russia has no intention of militarily attacking Estonia or any other NATO member state in the coming year,” it added.

The report contradicts the claims made by various European officials, including German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who repeatedly stated that NATO and Germany in particular should be ready for a Russian attack in the coming years.

The claims have been used to press Europe’s biggest economy to speed up its militarization drive and overhaul its armed forces as Chancellor Friedrich Merz vowed to transform its military into the “strongest conventional army in Europe.”

Moscow has repeatedly denied any plans to attack NATO and ridiculed Western politicians over claiming the opposite. Last week, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia has “no reason” to attack the EU or NATO unless attacked first.

In January, the minister also said that it is European NATO members that “are seriously preparing for war against the Russian Federation, and, in fact, are not even hiding it.”

FBI was ‘weaponized’ in Obama-Clinton conspiracy to ‘stop Trump’ – top US senator

The newly declassified Russiagate document exposes a deep state coverup, Chuck Grassley says

The newly released annex to John Durham’s 2023 Special Counsel report exposes the “weaponization” of the FBI under the Obama administration and the agency’s involvement in an attempt to ruin Donald Trump's presidency in 2016, US Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has said.

The senator, a key figure behind the release of the 29-page document, made the remarks to Fox News on Thursday shortly after the annex was published. The file outlines the alleged effort by the Hillary Clinton campaign to falsely accuse Trump of colluding with Russia, and the FBI’s failure to properly investigate the activities despite having solid intelligence.

“[The Durham annex] gives us information that the FBI had eight to ten years ago that they never followed up on. It actually brings attention to the fact that there was either a Clinton conspiracy to make this happen, or Russian disinformation. Either way, it was an attempt to stop Trump, and it proves that the FBI had a hand in it,” Grassley stated.

The annex provides “evidence of the great depth that the deep state will go to cover up weaponization that was going on in the FBI and the executive branch of government, generally, under the Obama administration,” the senator suggested. America needs “maximum transparency” on the 2016 presidential race “schemes” that were hatched “to either stop Trump from being elected or… to ruin his presidency,” he added.

According to the document, the FBI obtained intelligence on “confidential conversations” between then-Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and individuals at George Soros’ Open Society Foundations in early 2016, yet did not take any action. The conversations reportedly detailed a plan to discredit the then-Republican candidate by preparing “scandalous revelations of business relations between Trump and the Russian Mafia.”

The agency allegedly obtained further evidence on the matter in mid-2016, including several “likely authentic” emails sent by Leonard Benardo, senior vice president of the Open Society Foundations. The emails further detailed the plot to “disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated ‘attic-based’ technical structures,” and appeared to predict a future FBI probe into Russiagate, suggesting the agency “will put more oil into the fire” later on.

Corruption is Everywhere - From the White House to Langley > Russiagate Obama's call

 

Russiagate was a ploy to ‘screw Trump’

– CIA boss

The Obama administration’s top spies manipulated the probe from the onset, according to John Ratcliffe

A US intelligence report on Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, commissioned by then-President Barack Obama, was nothing more than deliberate manipulation, CIA Director John Ratcliffe has said, citing his agency’s recent internal review.

Known as the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Election Interference (ICA), the report kickstarted the Russiagate conspiracy, prompted special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry, and “ate up the first two years” of President Donald Trump’s first term, Ratcliffe said in an interview with the New York Post published on Wednesday. The new CIA head ordered an internal review of the report in May.

Obama ordered the ICA just six weeks before leaving office. According to the CIA review of its drafting and rushed release, declassified on Wednesday, then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper were unusually and “excessively involved” in the process.

“The rushed timeline to publish both classified and unclassified versions before the presidential transition raised questions about a potential political motive behind the White House tasking and timeline,” the review said, calling the work on the report “chaotic,” “atypical,” and “markedly unconventional.”

The CIA review found that Brennan had effectively directed the compilation of the ICA and particularly insisted on including the later discredited Steele dossier, a compilation of unverified rumors about Trump and his alleged links to Russia.

The dossier was compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and reportedly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, ‘We’re going to screw Trump,’” Ratcliffe said, commenting on his agency’s findings. “It was, ‘We’re going to create this and put the imprimatur of an IC assessment in a way that nobody can question it.’ They stamped it as Russian collusion and then classified it so nobody could see it.”

“Brennan and Clapper and Comey manipulated [and] silenced all the career professionals and railroaded the process,” the CIA director added.

American public opinion was further manipulated by constant media leaks and unnamed officials cited by The Washington Post, The New York Times, and other mainstream outlets.

“Before work on the assessment even began, media leaks suggesting that the IC had already reached definitive conclusions risked creating an anchoring bias,” the review noted.

The ICA, as well as the FBI’s 2016 ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ investigation and the subsequent Mueller inquiry, cast a long shadow over Trump’s first term, with allegations of “Russian collusion” persisting in the media even after Mueller’s report found no evidence to support them. Moscow has also repeatedly denied any election interference.
