Now at The Daily Caller.
Starting in May 2010, the Washington Examiner reported, drawing on emails obtained by Citizens United, "Clinton Foundation staff pushed Hillary Clinton's State Department to approve a meeting between Bill Clinton and a powerful Russian oligarch as her agency lined up investors for a project under his purview."
His name was Viktor Vekselberg of Renova (a Clinton Foundation donor) and the project under his purview was Skolkovo. The following month, Bill Clinton would receive $500,000 for a speech in Moscow from Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin, a Clinton...

Task: Marking the messaging.
Subjects: Information warfare; hostile foreign influence; subversion; iron-handed suppression of all of the the above by the US government (some of the very subjects discussed throughout American Betrayal*).
1) Pro-Trump Roger Stone is ramping up "McCarthyism" and "Red-baiting" as "fear-mongering" and "mudslinging."
There may be some tiny chance Stone is ignorant about the McCarthy facts; nevertheless, it seems highly unlikely Stone does not know better,...

Had an excellent conversation this a.m. with Alexander Marlow on Breitbart Daily News (not that I realized that I had come up with the headline...) about All Things Swamp.
Here is the write up by John Hayward (audio link, too):
On Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily journalist Diana West, author of American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character,...

Breitbart News Daily host Alexander Marlow and I kick around some ideas about why Joseph McCarthy still terrifies the Swamp; what the "deep state" really is, and how President Trump can drain and expose it all with an American Truth Commission.

On with my favorite All-Americas team -- Allan Dos Santos in Brazil and Jeff Nyquist in the USA -- beginning with the bright shiny "wiretapping" the world is chasing even as President Trump is being walled off from key components of his agenda.

As noted here, CNN recently "reported" the following:
"Steve Bannon in 2013: Joseph McCarthy was right in crusade against Communist infiltration."
... Bannon made his comments in July 2013 while interviewing conservative pundit Diane [sic] West about her book “American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character.”
These statements of facts engender hisses, screams, fainting -- but only among media and other fact-proof ideologues. Informed readers will just shake their heads over the hermetically-sealed mindset that kills curiosity and engenders such Pavlovian-prompt reporting.
As in -- excerpted from American Betrayal, p....

Believe it or not, CNN has done something no other media have done. They actually found a connection between American Betrayal and Steve Bannon.
Not that this is hard to do. There is a massive queue of stories about American Betrayal at Breitbart under Bannon's helmsmanship.
These include:
1) A “breaking history” series in five parts that I wrote for Bannon/Breitbart, drawing from American Betrayal's discoveries.
2) Numerous pieces covering American Betrayal, the controversy (i.e., the disinformation...

Dear X ---
Are you watching what is going on over here?
So, Trump, just to review a couple of items, plans to expand the grossly deteriorated US nuclear arsenal and restore sovereign US powers that were about to expire completely in a morass of world (i.e., anti-democratic elites) governance — and his overall plans for an American restoration include, of course, restoring US manufacturing.
That, we are supposed to believe, made Trump the clear “choice” of V. Putin and all of his strategists — NOT the Clinton machine, which, just to review one item, enriched itself mightily while advancing Russia’s military/intelligence/cyber capabilities in the Obama/Clinton-Putin creation of “Russia’s Silicon Valley” — Skolkovo. So...

The AP reports:
MOSCOW -- Russia on Friday decried the uproar in the United States over Attorney General Jeff Sessions' meetings with the Russian ambassador as a replay of McCarthyism, voicing regret over the lack of any substantive dialogue with Washington....
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov argued that contacts with officials and lawmakers are part of any ambassador's duties. He added that the pressure on Sessions "strongly resembles a witch hunt or the times of McCarthyism, which we thought were long over in the United States as a civilized country."
Repeat after me: "The times of McCarthyism" netted scores of American KGB agents and agents of inflluence covertly embedded in the US government...

The two best pieces I have seen this week on the Trump adminstration and Russia are Walter Russell Meade's "Trump Isn't Sounding Like a Russian Mole," which opens with a salient point that I wholeheartedly agree with: Donald Trump plans to revamp and expand the US' nuclear arsenal. "Someone someone who was safely in Vladimir Putin’s pocket wouldn’t run around saying things like this."
It goes on from there, and Meade offers Trump-watchers the signal tip-off to watch for that will tell us Trump has gone Russian: If "his foreign policy [starts] looking much more like Barack Obama's."
The second piece by Jeff Nyquist is a mind-expanding excursion called: "Golitsyn's Methodology and the Trump Administration."

Thanks to Peter Schweizer, we have a foundational base of information about Skolkovo, "Russia's Silicon Valley," but there is so much more to learn about this dangerous, time-bomb of a legacy of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. That foundational base of information is his report, "From Russia, With Money: Hillary Clinton, The Russian Reset, and Cronyism."
But there is something much worse than the cronyism that Schweizer shows us. Knowingly or unknowingly, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton presided over the modernization and advance of Russian military, including nuclear, and intelligence capabilities. They did this through their "reset" with Russian which included massive technology transfers from the US and wider West through the establishment of the...
