Obama and Mueller are going to have a lot of questions to answer now that this memo is gaining traction. Wikileaks is offering $1 Million to help persuade people to try and get that memo into the hands of the public.

The conservative media machine that has been incredibly mobilized since the election of Donald J. Trump is supposedly soon to be vindicated. Dozens of members of Congress have now laid their eyes upon the memo written by Rep. Devin Nunes about the concerns he has regarding the amount of influence Democrats had over the entire election process. The report is so damning that Republicans are fighting to let it be made public, as it supposedly implicates Obama to scandalous levels well beyond Watergate. Wikileaks is now offering $1 million to anyone who can get them the memo.

The country was in an uproar this morning as tweets used by Republicans in Congress vindicated what many had been worried about for the past year, that former President Obama was using U.S. assets to spy on the Trump campaign, its officials, and its associates in order to gain controversial material and compromise the election. It was an unthinkable thought to many who simply refused to think that the United States had been compromised in such a magnificent fashion.

The Democrats are already in full panic mode since Republicans are calling for this Top Secret document to become unclassified. They are trying to block it’s legal release by any means necessary as they fear that the revelations in the document would send the public into a fury. To think that the bastion of democracy and freedom in the world was manipulated by those at the top to keep an outsider out and keep a puppet in are discouraging, to say the least.

It seems now many of what internet dwellers call “Normies,” those who do not yet understand the magnitude of corruption and evil taking place in the government, are waking up. Nearly a dozen Republicans from Congress took to Twitter today to explain how absolutely horrified they were to see what was in the memo. Apparently, it is so incredibly damning and controversial that it needs to become public as possible felony charges could be waiting for many former government officials.

It has not yet been discussed in an open forum about what it could mean for the nation if the sanctities that were once honored and protected were corrupted by mischievous and hostile traitors. To think that those in the intelligence community were directed by superiors to spy on a campaign and do everything possible to sabotage a presidency could happen in the United States does nothing but bring shame to a nation in a time like this.

This kind of thing supposedly only took place in corrupt regimes in far away rogue states. That a sitting tyrant could order his “gestapo” to dig up dirt, or create it, to discredit a challenger is something that should anger every American as it is the very core of the soul of this nation to avoid corruption and do what is right. This is something out of a Marxist dystopian future as it represents the fact that people have lost their say in the government.

With nearly 1.1 million tweets, #ReleaseTheMemo was on the top of the charts for a while, then suddenly it disappeared entirely. Censorship at it’s best.

It also paints a morbid picture for what many thought was a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” kind of situation taking place between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats threw everything away, all of their morals, all of the oaths they have taken, and everything that swore to uphold as they sought to undermine a candidate and sabotage the nation. They tried a slow moving and deliberate coup in order to regain control, something out of a defacto tyrant regime.

The fact that Wikileaks is now offering such a massive prize for the highly ancitpated document can only mean that it is truly damning. Such a document could actually prove the end of an era as all of those complicit with this kind of rhetoric or ideology should be treated as traitors against the United States. For nearly a year now, each and every Democrat has screamed at the top of their lungs to give credit to the Russia hoax and discredit the free thinkers who want them behind bars.

Let that sink in for a moment. Not one Democrat spoke against their party’s actions. Not one Democrat has demanded transparency or even called for their party to reform. They do not care about the truth and if they do not care about the truth then they have no interest in seeing America succeed as a nation.

This nation is an experiment for the world to see and if science has taught humans anything, it is that truth is needed to find solutions. Democrats are not interested in solutions, only control.

A British teenager managed to obtain access to top secret U.S. plans about intelligence operations in different Middle East countries by acting as former CIA Director John Brennan, a court heard on Friday.

Kane Gamble, 18, researched Brennan and used the information he gathered to speak to an internet company and persuade call handlers to give him access to the spy chief's email inbox in 2015.

He pretended to be both a Verizon employee and Brennan to access Brennan's internet account.

Astonishingly, Gamble managed to gain access to Brennan's emails and his addressbook, as well as his iCloud storage. He even managed to remotely access the iPad of Brennan's wife.

Initially, he could not get into Brennan's accounts as he could not recall the name of the spy chief's first pet. But he managed to persuade a call handler to change the pin and security questions he needed to access the email account in question, Britain'sDaily Telegraph reported.

“He accessed some extremely sensitive accounts referring to, among other things, military operations and intelligence operations in Afghanistan and Iran,” prosecutor Lloyd-Jones QC said.

Gamble, aged 15 at the time, also persuaded a helpdesk at the FBI that he was the then deputy director Mark Giuliano.

This all happened from his bedroom in the English Midlands. The breach will raise questions that if a teenager from Britain can breach the highest levels of U.S. intelligence then why can't an intelligence operative of a rival power?

Gamble's motive, the court heard, was that he hated the U.S. government for being, he perceived, "corrupt and cold-blooded."

He also targeted the online presence of then U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and President Barack Obama's Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

In October 2017, Gamble pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including eight charges of “performing a function with intent to secure unauthorized access” to the computers and two of “unauthorized modification of computer material.”

Contradiction has become the norm for US foreign policy over the past many years - an observation that is clear to anyone even remotely paying attention.

On Tuesday the US State Department spokesperson was asked during the daily press briefing about the obvious contradiction inherent in US ally and NATO member Turkey shelling US-backed Kurdish forces in Afrin - the Kurdish held zone in northwest Syria near the Turkish border.

It's not the first time that a US partner force has attacked another US partner force in Syria (and then there's this Vice News headline from 2016 indicating it's sometimes gone three ways: "Three US allies are now fighting each other in northern Syria").

Thus far US military officials have sought to distance themselves from YPG (Kurdish People's Protection Units) operations in Afrin while simultaneously promising to ramp up support for the Kurdish YPG-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) throughout the rest of Northern Syria. US Coalition spokesman Col. Ryan Dillon saidTuesday of the Syrian Kurds in Afrin, "We don't support them, we have nothing to do with them" - in what was a clear case of the Pentagon trying to dance around the issue with old-fashioned double speak, pretending as if the Syrian Kurds themselves don't see "Rojava" Kurds as a single entity.

As a Pentagon spokesman recently told Defense One: "The Coalition is working jointly with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to establish and train the new Syrian Border Security Force (BSF). Currently, there are approximately 230 individuals training in the BSF’s inaugural class, with the goal of a final force size of approximately 30,000."

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said of the new US-backed Border Security Force, which obviously is to be heavily Kurdish in composition, that it is akin to the US hosting a "terror army" along Turkey's border. Erdoğan has vowed "to strangle it before it’s even born."

Meanwhile Turkey has amassed a huge invasion force to oust the YPG from Afrin Canton, and sporadic fighting and shelling is widely reported to have already begun. This as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has indicated"the Unites States will remain in Syria" while continuing to train its SDF proxies and bolster its new "Syrian Border Security Force."

Watch as Heather Nauert fumbles through a response to an excellent and obvious question: What is the US position as its NATO ally is shelling its number one ally in the fight against ISIS in Syria?...

Here is the exchange:

Someone should inform the State Department that this "hypothetical" is already fast becoming the new reality on the ground. But such a blatant contradiction in which a US-backed force attacks another US-backed force is nothing new in Syria, yet no less outrageous as when it began happening years ago in the Syrian conflict.
