Harvard Law Review:

Criminal justice reform has been a focus of my entire career — even since before my time at the Harvard Law Review. As a community organizer, I saw firsthand how our criminal justice system exacerbates inequality. It takes young people who made mistakes no worse than my own and traps them in an endless cycle of marginalization and punishment. More than twenty years ago, I wrote about my experience in neighborhoods where “prison records had been passed down from father to son for more than a generation.”

Well, this is a mouthful, and he’s said too much, enough to indict his own argument.  First of all, I agree that we have criminalized far too many thing, with petty drug offenders sent to prison to be hardened by real criminals, turned into real killers and street thugs, and maybe converted to Islam in the prisons.  I have advocated against such things, and in fact I don’t believe in prisons at all because they are unbiblical.  The Scriptural prescription for wrongdoing is retribution and restitution.

Retribution is the death penalty for high crimes such as rape, kidnapping and murder, and restitution means that the perpetrator becomes the slave of the wronged until the debt is paid.  There is no biblical concept of a “debt to society.”  No one has a debt to society.  There is no biblical notion of the collective.

But by invoking fatherhood he has damned his own argument.  The absence of fathers, undergirded by the absence of true religion and public giveaway programs to hold the inner city black man in slavery, has led to the situation Obama laments.  He won’t admit it because he is of those who enslave.  He believes in the enslavement he laments.

We have a responsibility to act. And like the vast majority of Americans — including the vast majority of gun owners — I believe we can take commonsense steps to reduce gun violence that are consistent with the Second Amendment.

As an Administration, we’ve made some meaningful progress on keeping guns out of the wrong hands through background checks — whether it’s making clear that anyone in the business of selling firearms must get a license and conduct background checks, or dedicating more resources to ensuring those background checks are conducted on time.  We’ve also jumpstarted the development of smart gun technology.  As long as we’ve got technology to prevent a criminal from stealing and using your smartphone, then we should be able to prevent the wrong person — including kids — from pulling the trigger on a gun.

But there’s a great deal of work left to be done. Congress should pass the kinds of commonsense reforms supported by most of the American people — from investing in access to mental health care, to expanding background checks, to making it possible to keep guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists. The actions we take won’t prevent every act of violence — but if even one life is spared, they will have been well worth it.

He’s lying and he knows it.  The vast majority of gun owners do not in fact believe in his proposals.  His inability to enact further gun control is all the proof you need.

We’ve dealt with smart guns before, and it’s an idea that will never obtain for reasons Obama himself understands.  His “investment” in mental health care is the same thing as his notion of keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists.  It’s all a red herring.

It’s a way to prevent people from having access to means of self defense by circumventing the constitution with so-called “health care professionals” and secret lists made by government employees who are accountable to no one and unreviewable even by courts.  It’s all a method to avoid due process.  He should be asked “why are there known terrorists in America at all?”  To which he can only answer that he’s referring to Americans who haven’t been convicted of any crime at all.

But even deeper than that, this is a great kabuki dance.  The constitution says “shall not be infringed.”  There is no point in having this conversation.  We will not submit by having our rights removed by statists.  On too many issues to catalog, Obama and his ilk broke covenant with the American people, from confiscating huge swaths of land (under the purview of the federal government) that wasn’t his, to taxing people for failing to purchase a product on the open market (Obamacare), to sending weapons South of the border to arm the drug cartels.

We can only hope and pray that the awful man’s legacy turns to dust and disappears from the earth.  He is a usurper and deceiver of the highest order.  Good riddance to the ass clown.  I wish I had never known him.

CNN:

US intelligence has identified the go-betweens the Russians used to provide stolen emails to WikiLeaks, according to US officials familiar with the classified intelligence report that was presented to President Barack Obama on Thursday.

[ … ]

Meanwhile, US intelligence has received new information following the election that gave agencies increased confidence that Russia carried out the hack and did so, in part, to help Trump win.

Included in that new information were intercepted conversations of Russian officials expressing happiness at Trump’s win. Another official described some of the messages as congratulatory.

“Happiness.”  “Congratulatory.”  Leading to the firm conclusion that the Russians carried out a hack to help Trump win.

What a damn joke.  What’s surprising is that they’re still keeping up this charade.  They’ve tried riots, bullying the electors, hysteria over so-called “fake news” (the only examples of which are found in the MSM), and now this.  But they’re not letting go of the “Russian monster-under-the-bed” meme.  It’s all they have left.

John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and other senators, rogue generals like David Petraeus and others are just butt hurt that their oil plays in North Africa aren’t going to work out without a whole lot more effort.  I guess DynCorp and money from George Soros isn’t going to be enough, is it?  How’s that seven country plan working out for you, Petraeus?  That bright idea from your Princeton days isn’t quite what you thought it was, no?

Sadly, Rich Lowry is confused about this.

Donald Trump and his most fervent supporters have seemingly made it a matter of principle not to admit that Russia interfered in our election, despite what appears to be overwhelming evidence (although the more we can learn about the intelligence behind this determination, the better). They evidently fear that admitting the Russia role will taint Trump’s win. It’s not particularly difficult, though, to do what Paul Ryan did yesterday – which is concede Russia’s interference, lament it, and point out that Trump legitimately won and prevailed for all sorts of reasons not directly related to the hacking. This would be a much better posture for Trump, and perhaps he will eventually adopt it, but so far he is doubling down on denial.

Rich is a beltway man and thus is missing the point(s).  Put aside the issue of hacking for a moment.  From all we know about the emails, Seth Rich is responsible for handing over the DNC cache to Wikileaks.  Someone else is responsible for handing over the Podesta cache to Wikilaks, possibly David Braverman.  Either way, we know it wasn’t a state actor.

The collective emails are damning, and point to corruption so deep, far and wide it may never be possible to root out the “deep state” that has been operating underneath the transient government, this deep state run by the CIA, military contractors, the State Department, The Clinton Foundation, big money donors, and rogue generals.

There is a reason that the existing “intelligence” apparatus wants the American people to believe that someone evil is culpable for the email leaks.  Most American people, if they knew of the depths of depravity associated with the deep state, wouldn’t be able to process it, and when they finally did, they would call for heads to roll.  Literally.

Furthermore, there are operations currently in process that, if they are stopped, stand to cause a lot of monetary loss for a number of powerful people.  As for whether Russia wanted Trump to be elected, I don’t blame them one bit if it’s true.  Hillary was posturing for an unnecessary and dangerous war with Russia.  Such a thing would be a catastrophe for both America and Russia.

Regarding hacking, besides the fact that it wasn’t the source of the emails to Wikileaks, I’ve spoken to this issue before.  I work for a very large company which sustains hundreds of thousands of hack attempts per month.  My understanding is that the chief culprit is China.  Russia hacks computer systems.  China hacks computer systems.  The Mossad hacks computer systems.  The CIA hacks computer systems, including those in Russia.  The drama over the alleged Russian hacking attempts comes across as “get thee to thy fainting couch, everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing.”  You don’t say?  Color me shocked.

Finally, note the red herring.  Whereas the real story is the content of the emails, the misdirect is how Wikileaks got them.  Again, notice what subject has the attention right now?  You guessed it, the fake news of Russian hacks has the attention, except among thoughtful men and women who see the code language in the emails, who see the communications between TCF and others concerning operations in North Africa, who are monitoring the operations of TCF and DynCorp, and who have never seen the deep state exposed quite like this.

It’s ugly, it’s awful, it’s dangerous, and they show no signs of stopping.  No wonder they want to shift the attention to something else.  One amusing comment pretty much says it all.

Their true ‘intelligence’ lies in their successful peddling of the Redirected Narrative.

From: HRC, the DNC, Abedin, Podesta are sleazy, and probably criminal people who should be prosecuted

To: Never mind the truth of the Contents, and let’s go after the Leaker. Er, hackers. Yes, that’s it — the Hackers. Russian hackers. Directed by Putin. And look there: a skittles-shitting unicorn!

But they’re only peddling it to idiots (no one else believes them) and liars who stand to lose big.  To close, it’s laughable that the intelligence community would simply think that they can trot out information from unidentified intelligence officials and analysts who won’t sign their name to the crap that’s in the report and assume that the people will just bend over and accept it.

Note to the CIA.  Go back to your hole.  You’re not wanted.

George Webb does a good job of connecting many dots he has drawn for us over the last several weeks.

I just have a few comments.  First of all, these kinds of operations will continue until the culprits are found and dealt with.

Second, you no longer have to wonder why David Petraeus is a gun controller when you consider his role in all of this.  In his mind, none of this could ever obtain with an armed citizenry.

Finally, none of this could ever obtain anyway.  The American people aren’t the Libyans or Syrians, and a good portion of America is still Christian even if it doesn’t feel like it.  Christianity is the foundation and basis for liberty, and is inimical to statism.  Americans have more guns than the world’s armies put together and enough ammunition in gun safes and garages that it’s raised the cost of training for the U.S. military.

COIN and counterterrorism cannot control America.  Stability operations might be something one discusses concerning Egypt after the fall of the MB, but not in America.  The only stability operations conducted in America is being done by the police in confined, geographically small urban areas like Chicago, LA, St. Louis and Houston.  An Army trying to control suburbia and the countryside of America would get cut to pieces.

George asks some very good questions.

Things proceed apace in the #Pizzagate investigation.  Below I’ve linked both David Seaman and George Webb.  I’m glad to see George tying all of this together in his videos.  It’s a tangled web and it takes quite a while to comprehend the wickedness and scope of the project.  Before we get to the videos, let’s discuss some details of DynCorp’s involvement with The Clinton Foundation and the so-called seven country plan (where TCF and private armies were to topple seven countries in five years as a part of a play for weapons, children and oil).  Actually, I won’t describe the seven-country plan, you need to watch George Webb’s videos for that.  But it’s clear that DynCorp has played a significant role with TCF.  In fact, the plan is moving forward as we speak.  You understand, right?  There is a shadow government at work that is different than the transient government.  The things you are watching in history are a function of the shadow government.

There is no question that there are Senators involved in this plan, and without further information you may suspect those Senators who press the hardest on “Russian hacking the election” to be involved the deepest in global chaos.  There is also no question that it is being led by The Clinton Foundation, with involvement by the CIA and State Department, and along with an army of Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS fighters.

But the military side of things (aside from the more formal bombing campaign of the coast of North Africa which was led by a NATO general who was recently killed under very suspicious circumstances) must be managed by someone with a military background.  That someone appears more and more to be DynCorp.

DynCorp has had contracts in Haiti, and apparently is linked to the State Department in underage human trafficking.  Furthermore, Voat.co/v/Pizzagate has sustained a hack attempt by DynCorp (and possibly Raytheon).  DynCorp has a history in nefarious behavior.  First, consider the incident discussed between Cheryl Mills and Hillary Clinton.  The incident occurred in 2009.

According to my reporting, the week of April 13th, the DynCorp regional commander from Konduz, Flint Chambers, allowed his men to hire a 15-year-old boy dancer to do tribal dances at a DynCorp party on the training site. Some 15 or so DynCorp employees in attendance pulled out a single chair and had the boy do mock lap dances. This was captured on video. The video shows DynCorp employees putting dollar bills in the boy’s waistband, just as they would a stripper’s garter. The revelry lasted about 45 minutes.   The video was leaked by Mike Gonzalez to another DynCorp employee who emailed the video to Martin. Flint Chambers retaliated against Mike by spitting in his face, pushing him to the ground in front of the DynCorp security building in Kabul.

It goes wider and deeper.

One refrain we keep hearing against Wikileaks is that the cable releases aren’t really “whistleblowing,” because they’re not really revealing anything. However, it seems like each day there’s another big revelation of rather horrible things being done (and covered up) by the US government. The latest, pointed out by Boing Boing, involves a report from a cable that US-based private security contractor DynCorp, who was hired by the US to train Afghani police, was apparently supplying drugs and young boys for a sort of sex party.

With every dot that is connected by a researcher, every hack attempt by a military contractor, every deleted #Pizzagate post at Voat, every de-monitized YouTube video, and every frozen PayPal account (see David Seaman’s Video below), the nefarious actors convince us more and more that we’re on the right track.  And DynCorp is a major player.

Nick Bryant, author of The Franklin Scandal, says to “proceed with caution” to the researchers of The Clinton Foundation, #Pizzagate and the seven-country plan.  Very well.  I carry a tactical knife and two guns at a time now.  But I won’t be dissuaded.  You see I’m a Calvinist, and I believe that I won’t live one second longer than my appointed time on earth.  The corollary is that I will live every second of my appointed life, much to the chagrin of my haters.  DynCorp and The Clinton Foundation are not in control of my future.  DynCorp doesn’t make me one bit nervous.  If DynCorp wants to follow me around, very well.  Remember Herschel’s Dictum.

Attempts to dissuade David Seaman don’t seem to impress him either.  So there is no turning back from this citizen investigation.  But it’s worth a good education, yes?

Ask yourself this question, patriots and gun owners.  If a military contractor who is comprised in the main of former U.S. SpecOps and Special Forces is willing to traffic humans and kill in the name of weapons, money and oil, what makes you think that collecting guns door to door will be any different?  What makes you think that anyone in such an organization has any respect for God given rights such as bearing arms?  And what makes you think that you or your children won’t be subject to such mercenary armies in the future?

I think you know the answer to those questions.  Trump has given us time.  The swamp is a function of fallen human nature, and cannot be completely drained.  I think you understand that.

CNN:

… US intelligence officials say that newly identified “digital fingerprints” indicate Moscow was behind the intrusions.

One official told CNN the administration has traced the hack to the specific keyboards — which featured Cyrillic characters — that were used to construct the malware code, adding that the equipment leaves “digital fingerprints” and, in the case of the recent hacks, those prints point to the Russian government.

[ … ]

“It is clear that Russia has attacked the United States of America,” Republican Sen. John McCain said.

It’s really a shame that no one in the MSM actually does investigative reporting any more.  They all wait for the talking points to be issued by the White House or State Department and then parrot them or chit chat about what they may mean.

As I’ve said before, my company receives hundreds of thousands of hack attempts per month.  It’s my understanding that China is the chief culprit.  I assume that Russia tried to hack into servers somewhere in the U.S. within the last several months, as I’m sure the U.S. has hacked their servers.

That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the DNC or Podesta emails which were given to Wikileaks by insiders.  The CNN doesn’t have their story straight because they are shills.

As for Russia having attacked us, that the dumbest thing I’ve heard this year.  Congratulations to John McCain.  He is an ass, and he proves it anew each day.

Oh, and finally, not a single person associated with this report can be reached by email or left any contact information whatsoever.  Remember what I said about people who write things and leave no means of contact?  They are cowards, one and all.

Here are George Webb’s installments for today.  In case you haven’t already viewed them, please be sure to do so.  No one is doing the kind and depth of work on TCF that George is, and I suspect that includes the NYPD, DoJ and FBI.  They should all begin their efforts by watching his videos beginning at day 53 (Eric Braverman) on his YouTube channel.

In these videos George continues the hard work of connecting the dots throughout the Middle East based on George Soros’s plan for chaos, human trafficking and then ultimately oil pipelines, tied together by a private army of former SpecOps folks, the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS.

There are two more points worthy of mention as well.  First of all, George begins to fill out the details of the relationship of Fast and Furious to TCF, where the cartels were to be armed to fight each other, one cartel was preferred as winner, and this cartel was to be used to force legislation in Mexico to allow an oil play.  He also connects the dots to names of people engaged in F&F with the same names engaged in the ME plan as part of TCF.  I had always seen F&F as related only to impetus for gun control.  It may have been indeed that, but I also always thought that if gun control was the sole intention behind it, there were easier ways to go about it and much less expensive to boot.  After all, Obama persuaded 51 senators to vote for the worst legislation in American history.  If George is right, the goals were much more nefarious.

Finally, I believe with absolute certainty that this “shadow government” of which he speaks exists in actuality, run by TCF, and in fact, what we see happening in the ME right now is part of the same plan that has been ongoing for years.  It hasn’t stopped.  The seven country plan is in process as we speak.  Here is advice for Donald Trump.  If you and Jeff Sessions don’t dig into the deep state and root out this shadow government, you’ll not only have a millstone hung around your neck for the foreseeable future trying to deal with their oil plays, but your entire administration will come to naught.  You had better root out the problems in the CIA, the FBI, the DHS and the State Department.  Dig deep.

I lied. I want to make one more point before I send you to the videos. DynCorp apparently has a hand in all of this. They had been one of the more reputable military contractors in the world after the collapse of Blackwater. No more. They are as dirty as everyone else.

I have to say that I had never considered the relationship George brings up between oil in Mexico, The Clinton Foundation, and Fast & Furious.

George tickles the issue of human trafficking as he explains that he was involved in researching the Franklin scandal, but doesn’t go too far into the details because, as he put it, many people died as a result of researching that scandal.

Very well, but given the horrible things George is managing to bring to light and explain in a manner that makes some sense, as well as connecting the dots for people who haven’t followed all of the nefarious dealings of The Clinton Foundation, I’m not sure why George feels any safer covering TCF than he would covering Pizzagate.

But here are his four installments for today.
