Putin and Trump - World-Class Liars

Trump – “There is no collusion. Absolutely none. I have nothing to do with Russia.”

Putin - "Thank you, President Trump. Information obtained from the CIA was sufficient to search for and arrest of criminals.”

          Today, it is revealed by White House press manipulator Sarah Huckabee Sanders that on Sunday Russian President Putin phoned Trump to thank him for a tip from the CIA that thwarted a terrorist attack being planned at Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg. A tip from the CIA? And Trump had a hand in providing it?

Countries share intelligence occasionally, but this call was highly unusual since presidents rarely, if ever, thank one another for something from the other's spy agency. According to the White House press release, which was offered only after the Kremlin had mentioned it in their own TASS dispatch, “The Federal Security Service said Friday that seven members of a terror cell had been detained for their involvement in the plot, and that "a significant amount of explosives," weapons and "extremist literature" were confiscated.

          TASS also reported that when caught, the perpetrators even obliged by confessing to the whole terrorist scheme on camera. It was almost as if it was STAGED!!!

For the fifth time this year, this information was released by the RUSSIANS…not by the White House. Not until the Kremlin made the phone call known did our own president acknowledge he had been colluding with…I mean, in contact with, Putin. So we’re just now finding out OUR intelligence agency is working with the RUSSIAN intelligence agency and American citizens have deliberately been kept in the dark. Yet both governments now want to openly brag about it, so it’s not like they’re trying to keep it a secret so they can thwart future terrorist attacks. Why is Trump telegraphing this information? He said so many times on the campaign trail that he wasn’t going to let our enemies know what the U.S. is doing. (What he seems to mean is he doesn’t want U.S. citizens to know what he’s doing.) As if it has always been done this way, Trump is pointing out how our intelligence service is helping the Russians.

This then begs the question of why didn’t our CIA do the same for the Pakistanis who supposedly are our allies when a terrorist bomber struck at a Christian church in Quetta last Sunday killing 9 people? Why didn’t our intelligence services provide any help to Nigeria in recent weeks when Boko Haram killed hundreds of people in separate attacks across that country since mid-November? Closer to home, why didn’t that vaunted intelligence stop Akayed Ullah the New York City subway bomber on December 12th? On top of all that, as recently as last month, Trump said he didn’t trust our intelligence agencies, and less than a year ago he was comparing them to the Nazis. Why was their untrustworthy intelligence good enough now to pass on to the Russians?

Does anyone believe this nonsense? What evidence do we have that the CIA provided the information? There is nothing to show it sent anything or contacted the FSB at all. Neither Trump nor Putin has provided proof of cooperation between the two agencies. We just have to take their word for it. But things that are asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Putin called to thank Trump for the CIA tip, after Thursday's call congratulating him on how strong our economy is. Why would the Russians congratulate the U.S. on a booming economy? How does that help Russia?

          This is just the latest pack of lies from two world-class liars. It was invented (by Putin or Trump, or both) to gloss over something entirely different. Both leaders agreed that this serves as an example of the positive things that can occur when the two countries work together. Here’s the bizarre part…you notice that “when the two countries work together,” the Trump administration never works with Brazil, Thailand, Iran, Denmark, China, Sri Lanka, or any other country in that manner. It is always…ALWAYS…the Russians - and only the Russians. Why?

          Do you believe Trump when he says there’s no collusion?

JFK Assassination fallout - Liars-in-Chief

What if...?

          May 29, 2016 marked the 99th birthday of John F. Kennedy. He probably wouldn't have lived that long but the history of the past 53 years would be vastly different if he had not been murdered. Thanks to his assassination we have been cursed with a parade of Liars-in-Chief holding the highest office in the land.

          When the American people allowed whoever it was that killed JFK to get away with his murder, the killers and those who supported them realized they could lie to us and we wouldn’t do anything about it.  

          I prefer to say things up front. John F. Kennedy WAS killed by a conspiracy, and the people who carried it out are still being protected by elements within our government…the FBI, the CIA, and the military. Lee Oswald didn’t kill anyone on November 22, 1963…not Tippit and not Kennedy. However, he has been vilified since then as the lone nut assassin. He was silenced by Jack Ruby so that the blame could be pinned on him without any recourse or anyone challenging it. He was exactly what he shouted in the halls of the Dallas Police Department, “I’m just a patsy”.  

The liars saw it and said that it was good.

          Are you satisfied with the course our country has taken since November 22, 1963? Kennedy’s death led to one liar after another holding the office of presidency. If any of these men had been Pinocchio, there wouldn’t have been enough wood available to keep extending their nose. Look at just a few examples of each:

None of these men would have become president if JFK had not been assassinated

          Lyndon Johnson will forever be remembered as the liar who pushed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution which was used to justify the American military buildup in South Vietnam and a war that killed over 58,000 U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, nurses...and over a million Vietnamese.

          Richard Nixon lied about a secret plan to end the war in Vietnam to get elected, then illegally invaded Laos and Cambodia while lying to cover it up…and lied about virtually everything else until he resigned.

          Gerald Ford lied about what was in the Warren Commission testimonials. He knew the truth because he was ON the commission but still lied to protect the predetermined solution to the murder...that Oswald was the sole assassin.

          Jimmy Carter lied about being a “nuclear physicist and a peanut farmer.” He was neither: he held only a bachelor’s degree, and he owned a peanut warehouse.

          Ronald Reagan's lies started before he even got into office. Remember his famous “There you go again” line to Carter at the debate on October 28, 1980? Carter had just accused Reagan of being against Medicare and Social Security. Carter was right and Reagan was wrong, Reagan had recorded a record album in the 1960s opposing Medicare and Social Security because he claimed it was leading us down a socialist path. But Reagan got away with it because he got a laugh from the line. He also lied about the illegal war in Nicaragua that he initiated, the Iran-Contra deal, his environmental policies…the list goes on.

          George H.W. Bush – remember “read my lips, no new taxes”? He then passed the biggest tax increase in our nation’s history to that date. Also, unlike 99% of Americans alive then, Bush says he can't recall where he was the day Kennedy was shot, (even though there’s a picture of him standing outside the Texas School Book Depository that afternoon). I guess CIA agents don’t need to have reliable memories.

George H.W. Bush chats with other CIA and FBI agents while police sweep the TSBD.

          Bill Clinton lied about his numerous extra-marital affairs; even going so far as to try to redefine what “is” is during the run up to possible impeachment proceedings. Of course, when smoking pot, he didn't inhale, either.

          George W. Bush – lied about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and dragged the U.S. into two wars.

          During a Joint session of congress in 2009 discussing health care reform, Barak Obama said: "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false – the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." In a breach of decorum South Carolina congressman Joe Wilson pointed at Obama and shouted, "You lie!" twice. But Wilson was right. Numerous cases have turned up where illegal immigrants had no problem getting on the Affordable Care Act. Obama even got MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber to identify the American voters as stupid people for passing the act. Not a lie per se, but a serious misjudgment.
          This is what our chief executives regularly pull off because it has become "part of the job"..  

          In November 2013 CNN even did a story about how and why presidents lie: http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/24/politics/presidents-lie/

          As if that makes it okay.

If the president's lips are moving, he's lying.

          Lying now defines American politics and presidents. They consistently lie because the U.S. government, to this day, continues to lie about the Kennedy assassination. Lying did not start there; it just became accepted and expected from that point on. It set a precedent that the liars in our government continue to build on.

          As long as we let the assassination lies and the liars who maintain it continue to rot American history and politics, our image around the world will sink lower and lower. We used to be considered “a shining beacon on a hill”. Now, thanks to lies that justify numerous wars we initiated or expanded since the JFK assassination, allow or encourage rampant CIA intrusions into foreign affairs, kill countless people the government gets to define as “bad”, and show callous disregard for the rights of other people or nations, we are the bully on the block...the rich, drunken, quarrelsome doofus that no one trusts.

      Are you pleased with what the U.S.A. has become?

          Then do something about it, because we are about to hold an election where we’ll have to choose from two more proven liars for the presidency.

They move in the same circles when they're not running against each other.
