It’s Monday, even though I’m writing this on Tuesday. I’m working with a new schedule, so my normal pattern of writing before going to sleep might not be tenable for the next few weeks. I’ll do what I can, since we’re getting close to some craziness about to drop.

FBI DID NOT INFORM TARGETS OF RUSSIAN HACKING ATTACKS

This came out on Sunday from the AP. Out of the 80 targets that the AP contacted, only 2 were previously told of the hacking attempts by the FBI. The rest found out from the AP.

PROJECT VERITAS TRIED TO SCREW WITH THE WASHINGTON POST. IT DID NOT GO WELL

James O’Keefe is a lying sack of shit, a corrupt gun for hire whose lies have lead directly to innocent people dying violent, needless deaths.

Recently, his group Project Veritas attempted to discredit the Washington Post, sexual abuse victims, and decency in general by trying to show that the media is biased against Roy Moore.

This plan blew up in their face.

WaPo received a random tip from someone claiming to have some dirt on Roy Moore. When the Post did their research, it turned out that the woman, Jaime Phillips, was a paid operative of O’Keefe’s.

The Post confronted her with the evidence, including her GoFundMe page looking for money to move to New York to fight the evil media, called bullshit on every part of her story, and recorded her recording the interview. Then, they followed her to PV HQ, confronted O’Keefe, and recorded that as well.

Oh, by the way, Trump has donated to O’Keefe and PV before. They were involved in several ploys during the 2016 election, so there is a good chance that he is on Mueller’s radar.

FLYNN’S LAWYERS MEET WITH SPECIAL COUNSELOR TEAM

Nothing rings in the holidays like watching Mike Flynn’s legal team meeting with the Special Counselor’s team in front of the press.

JAMES WOOLSEY MEETS TRUMP AT MAR-A-LAGO FOR DINNER

James Woolsey is a former CIA Director, and was a witness to the September 2016 meeting where Mike Flynn conspired with the Turks to kidnap a cleric. James was interviewed by the Special Counselor, and supposedly testified before a grand jury.

Last week, Trump invited him to dinner in Florida. They talked for over an hour.

I wonder, what are the odds that Woolsey was wearing a wire?

JOHN CONYERS AND HIS RUSSIAN TIES

Here’s an article from John Schindler going into John Conyers past with the Russians.

SPOILER: The KGB is involved.

LITHUANIA ADOPTS MAGNITSKY ACT

Lithuania voter unanimously to enact their version of the Magnitsky Act, and have proposed several names for their list.

The list of countries cracking down on human rights violators grows by the day.

KOCH BROTHERS BACKED COMPANY TO BUY TIME MAGAZINE

Meredith Media, the publishers of Family Circle and Sports Illustrated, agreed to purchase Time, Inc., the parent organization of Time Magazine. Meredith is partly owned by the Koch Brothers.

Get ready for Ayn Rand to be named Person of the Year.

IN OTHER NEWS…

Trump makes racial slurs against Native Americans while at an event honoring the Navajo Code Talkers of WWII.

Bulk of FCC comments in favor of repealing net neutrality are fake.

WRAP-UP

That’s it for now. Once I figure out a format and schedule, I’ll work with that until the new year. This might also force me to write structured articles more often.

Let’s see how it goes.

Thank you, and have a good one.

Thanksgiving weekend is here. It’s been a long year, and a lot has changed since this time last year. I’ll cover all of that at the end of the year.

This is a check-in for November 23 to 26, 2017. There are a few stories that came in, along with a blockbuster or two that deserve their own posts.

FLYNN LAWYERS NO LONGER COMMUNICATING WITH TRUMP LEGAL TEAM

I’m going to go into more detail on this in my next post, but this is massive. If Flynn’s lawyers told Trump’s lawyers that they can no longer share information on Mueller’s case, there’s a very good chance that they’re no longer on the same side.

TRUMP APPEARS IN PANAMA PAPERS AS EARLY AS 1991

A company named Process Consultants, from Panama, purchased a condo in Trump Tower in 1991. A couple years later, they flipped the condo for $335,000.

I’m not saying that a company that hides the identity of its owners, based in a known money laundering haven, that sells an anonymous share of a condo quickly for a profit far above market value is absolutely proof of money laundering, but it sure smells fishy.

MANAFORT TIES TO KREMLIN GREATER THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT

Paul Manafort traveled to Moscow an average of once per month since early 2014. Combine that with the news that Russians knew about Trump’s desire to run for President as far back as November 2013, these trips look a lot more insidious.

DETAILS ON THE ISRAEL MISSION TO INFILTRATE ISIS THAT TRUMP SPILLED TO THE RUSSIANS

This article goes into great detail about the mission Israel Intelligence undertook to infiltrate ISIS, and how Trump told the Russians about everything.

NRA INFILTRATED BY RUSSIAN AGENTS

Take this news with a grain of salt, since I don’t exactly trust Daily Caller, but the story does fit with some previous stories I’ve talked about concerning the National Rifle Association.

KONSTANTIN RYKOV, RUSSIAN PROPAGANDIST, DOCUMENTED TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN REAL TIME

Here’s a Twitter thread about a Russian propagandist and Kremlin Insider who put all of his interactions with Donald Trump online, from November 2013 through the election. Included in the thread is the Moscow Miss Universe pageant in 2013, and how they knew about Trump’s desires to run for President 18 months before he officially launched his campaign.

Oh, he also negotiated to open a tower in Moscow in the same phone call with Putin. That deal fell through due to Putin and his bank getting hit with sanctions from the Magnitsky Act.

That’s it for today. I hope to go into more detail about Mike Flynn and what his flipping on Trump could mean this weekend.

Thank you, and have a good one.
