British Member Of Parliament Accuses Russia Of Manipulating Brexit Vote


First, the US blamed Russian hackers for Hillary Clintons unexpected loss, Germanys domestic intelligence agency is reporting a striking increase in Russian propaganda and disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing German society, and targeted cyber attacks against political parties.Now, its the UKs turn.According to a former Labour Member of Parliament, Russian hackers probably swayed the EU referendum vote in favor of Brexit. leading Remain campaigner Ben Bradshaw has joined the parade, and questioned the validity of the stunning June result, claiming people were underestimating the extent of cyber warfare by Russian President Vladimir Putin. It was not exactly clear how Putin hacked the UK, or the millions who voted for Brexit, but well let that slide for now.[embedded content] I dont think we have even begun to wake up to what Russia is doing when it comes to cyber warfare. Not only their interference, now proven, in the American presidential campaign, probably in our own referendum last year.Proven? Where? we dont have the evidence for that yet,

Mortgage applications have fallen almost non-stop since their exuberant peak the week of July 4th, tumbling to 2016 lows to the same dismal level of activity as was witnessed after Lehman in Oct 2008.

Top 11 Russian-hack questions the rogue-Electors should ask theCIA

John Rappaort the top 11 questions theelectors should ask the CIA presenter:1. We need a precise distinction here. How did Russia hacked the DNC, Hillary, Podesta, and Weiner emails and fed the emails to WikiLeaks who released them suddenly morph into Russia hacked the election vote?2.The security systems that protected the DNC, Hillary, Podesta, and Weiner emails were so feeble a child could have gotten past them in a few minutes. Why should we assume high-level Russian agents were involved?3. Not only does the CIA have a history of lying to the American people, lying is part of your job description. Why should we believe you?

Someone Has Officially Called The CIAs Bluff Over Russia

Dirty Warsauthor and investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill took to The Intercept to call the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on its bluff.In the article, Obama Must Declassify Evidence Of Russian Hacking, Scahill and Jon Schwartz called out U.S. intelligence agencies for their record of deceit, asserting that the American people are not going to simply take their word for it.U.S. intelligence agencies have repeatedly demonstrated that they regularly both lie and get things horribly wrong, the article argues. But when it comes to the CIAs case against Russias alleged interference with the latest U.S. presidential elections, its impossible to claim the hearsay is based on facts if evidence is not made available to support the agencys claims.In order to give Barack Obamas administration that extra push to release any proof the CIA has that the 2016 U.S. elections were rigged, the Intercepts duo encouraged feds or whistleblowers to use the publications secure droplink, where a patriotic whistleblower within the U.S. intelligence community may drop the leak that proves Russia is behind President-elect Donald Trumps win. [W]e will verify its legitimacy and publish it, they added. After all, assertions are not evidence, and major publications like the Washington Post have been basing their Russia-related reports using nothing but assumptions.

Martin Armstrong Slams CIA False Flag To Cover Its Own Hack For Obama

this latest act by Obama is clearly a politicized action that seems more about widening the divide in the country and to continue to smear doubt over the election. There is absolutely NO WAY that a professional hacker who leaves no concrete trace with Hillarys emails, would be sloppy enough to leave such a trace at the DNC.Furthermore,Julian Assange came out and stated publicly it was a leak and not a hack but declined to say who was the leak. This is clearly a false flag report by the Obama Administration supported Washington Post, which has lost all credibility during this election. YThere is absolutely no evidence that the votes were hacked in any state by Russia So exactly how is this sinister hack supposed to have influenced the election?There is something else behind the curtain.

Anti-Trump Elector Chris Suprun Paid For Ashley Madison While Bankrupt And Married With 3 Kids

Anti-Trump Texas faithless elector Stephen Christopher Chris Suprun, who wrote a widely-shared op-ed inThe New York Times about his decision, in which he claimed ideological superiority over Trump, which would prevent him from voting for the President-elect on December 19 as he is required,

GotNews research into Supruns bizarre and unexplained flip-flop against President-elect Donald J. Trumpturned up Ashley Madison data, damning bankruptcy records, and a series of P.O. boxes and what appears to be an association with a payday loan scam site.Even though he useda throw-away e-mail address and changed his birth date by a few days, the Ashley Madison credit card data is unmistakably Suprun:



Theres only one Stephen Christopher Suprun, from Texas, born in March 1974, and the P.O. box is one of many P.O. boxes registered to Stephen Christopher Suprun that can be found with a quick search of any public records database.Its also the same P.O. box used for Supruns Never Forget 9/11 charity, which he still lists on his Twitter profile:

According to the data, Suprun joined Ashley Madison in February 2012, just six months after joint-filing for bankruptcy with his wife, Dianne Michelle Suprun, in September 2011, and paid for an affair guarantee in September 2012.GotNews exclusively obtained the records from Supruns 2011 chapter 13 bankruptcy filing:



In the year before he signed up for cheating website Ashley Madison, Chris Suprun was unemployed (and eventually bankrupt) for 8 months, with three young kids, while his wife worked full-time:



Public records also show that Stephen Chris Suprun registered 6 different P.O. boxes in 6 cities in Texas and Virginia. Why does one person need so many P.O. boxes?

Harvard Professor Says Hes Rallied Nearly Enough GOP Electors To Block Trump

If 37 Republican electors can be persuaded to cast their votes for someone other than Trump, that would throw the election into the House of Representatives, and it is unclear what the House would do in that scenario.As of last night we noted that 40 democrats had signed the petition and, as of this morning, the list has grown to 55.

Here We Go Again: Obama Sends Arms Trade Treaty to Senate for Ratification

With just over a month left in office and no gun control achievements to speak of during his time in the White House, President Obama has sent the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) to the Senate for one last shot at ratification. It was signed by Secretary of State John Kerry on September 25, 2013, but it is not binding because Republican Senators shot down ratification efforts.At the time that Kerry signed the treaty theNRAwarned,This treaty threatens individual firearm ownership with an invasive registration scheme [and is full of regulations and requirements that are] blatant attacks on the constitutional rights of every law-abiding American.The registration scheme referenced by the NRA is a clear and present danger which still presents itself in this latest ratification attempt. This is because the ATT is advertised as a way to monitor and control the movement of small arms and light weapons across borders. To that end,the treaty encourages records for end use or end [users] to be maintained for a minimum of ten years after the weapons reach their final destination. This requires the creation of a database of sales recordswhich would include information on the weapons and the ownersand that information would be internationally maintained; after all, this is a UN treaty.The treaty gives gun controllers an opportunity to usurp the authority of the Second Amendment, replacing it with the authority of the UNan unaccountable international body that lacks commitment to the natural rights which served as guiding principles for our Founding Fathers.Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) released a statement on Obamas new attempt at ratification, saying:

Since 2012, many senators, including myself, have expressed opposition to the small arms treaty, citing an array of concerns with Second Amendment rights. Nothing has changed over the last four years to suggest the treaty is in our national interest, and it will remain dead in the water. I reiterate my strong opposition and will work with my colleagues to protect the rights of Americans.

New York Times CEO Delivers Speech On Eradicating Fake News

Mark Thompson, President and CEO of The New York Times Company, delivered remarks to members of the Detroit Economic Club.Thompson threw around the idea of government censorship of fake news.

, there are certainly some who favor a kind of functional censorship, with fake news sites identified and taken down, and fake news somehow filtered out of search and social media by human or algorithmic means.

Thompson then admits this is unrealistic. Besides, there is a thing called the First Amendment.He then suggests a Ministry of Truth, of sorts, run by corporations, but admits this is worrisome.Thompson then falls back on a solution imposed by the state by using food labeling as an example. Nutrition information on food products was mandated by the FDA in 1994. Is this what Mr. Thompson is advocating? A new government agencya ministry of truththat will decide what is fake and what is not fake news?

Aleppo Atrocities: The Mainstream Medias Latest Psy-Op

The recent barrage of reports alleging that the Syrian Arab Army is committing atrocities against the liberated people of Aleppo stems from unsubstantiated Twitter accounts and melodramatic YouTube videos.Lights, Camera, Action! The glorious liberation ofAleppo bythe victorious Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has finally arrived, yet the Mainstream Media is predictably doing its utmost tocast a dark pallor overthis celebratory event. Instead ofrejoicing that the terrorists have been expelled and that the largest hostage crisis inhistory is now over, theyve gone intooverdrive alleging that the SAA is committing all sorts of atrocities Independent journalist Vanessa Beeley is onthe ground inAleppo documenting everything thats going on, including the large-scale humanitarian operation aimed athelping the tens ofthousands ofrefugees that escaped terrorist rule inEast Aleppo, yet her photographic evidence and personal accounts are completely ignored bythe Mainstream Media infavor ofshadowy figures such asBilal Abdul Kareem.This man, likeMs. Beeley, is also inAleppo, butthe primary difference is that while shes an objective observer documenting the reality ofwhat life was likefor the thousands ofhostages which barely survived the prolonged terrorist occupation, hes one ofthe perpetrators who facilitated this nightmare byactively spinning the Orwellian narrative that the rebellious locals are under deadly oppression bythe SAA.Kareem, who is an American citizen bybirth, presents himself asan independent journalist, buthis independence only goes asfar asparroting the moderate oppositions totally unverified claims that retributive atrocities are taking place all overthe city.

U.S. Military Aid to Al Qaeda, ISIS-Daesh: Pentagon Uses Illicit Arms Trafficking to Channel Enormous Shipments of Light Weapons into Syria

What is abundantly clear is that the Obama administration has supported both al Qaeda and ISIS-Daesh, providing the terrorists in Raqqa Northern Syria as well as in Aleppo with large quantities of weapons. The Western media is portraying the Al Qaeda terrorists in Aleppo as opposition freedom fighters protecting civilians. This is a big lie: The al Qaeda affiliated rebels in Aleppo havecommitted countless atrocities, includingarbitrary executions of civilians, yet the media is now blaming Bashar al Assad for the crimes committed by the US-NATO sponsored Al Qaeda brigades.US military aid has been channelled to Al Qaeda as well asISIS-Daesh. The US has used the illegal weapons market to channel vast amounts of weapons and military hardware to the Syrian rebels. According to Janes Defence Weekly, quoting documents released by the U.S. Governments Federal Business Opportunities (FBO), the US as part of its counterterrorism campaign has provided Syrian rebels [aka moderate Al Qaeda] with large amounts of weapons and ammunition.The US and its allies (including Turkey and Saudi Arabia) have relied on the illicit trade in light weaponry produced in Eastern Europe, the Balkans, China, etc. for delivery to rebel groups inside Syria, including ISIS-Daesh and Al Nusra. operating out of the occupied Golan Heights, Israels IDF has provided weapons, ammunition, logistical support to Al Qaeda rebels operating in Southern Syria.These shipments of weapons are not conducted through internationally approved weapons transfers. While they are the result of a Pentagon (or US government) procurement, they are not recorded as official military aid. They use private traders and shipping companies within the realm of a thriving illicit trade in light weapons.U.S. Weapons Supply Routes Via Third CountriesAlthough the bulk of the weapons and ammunition supplied to the Syrian rebels (including the FSA, Al Qaeda affiliated entities and ISIS-Daesh) are channelled by Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the US is also involved in the routine delivery (originating from third countries) of light weapons to the rebels including anti-tank and rocket launchers.The shipments of weapons purchased and funded by the US are carefully coordinated, with deliveries to rebels in the North and South of Syria respectively. The weapons are shipped out of the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta (December 2015):1) First, to the Turkish Eastern Mediterranean facility of Agalar-Limaninear Tasucu in support of rebels in Northern Syria, to be smuggled into Syria with the support of the Turkish authorities. (half the shipment unloaded)2) The remainder of the shipment to the Jordanian Red Seaport of Aqaba(for rebels in Southern Syria) via the Suez canal. According to Jane, the cargo of light weaponry included AK-47 rifles, PKM general-purpose machine guns, DShK heavy machine guns, RPG-7 rocket launchers, and 9K111M Faktoria anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) systems. It is worth noting that a large share of the RPG rocket launchers were slated for delivery to Northern Syria 994 Tons of Weapons in a Single shipment,



PG 7VM Anti-tank

Concluding RemarksThe United States and its allies use arms trafficking i.e. the unregulated illicit trade in light weapons through private traders including organized crime, to channel large amounts of weapons and ammunition to the terrorists inside Syria. These shady transactions initiated in Washington are inviolation of international law and the treaties under UN auspices pertaining to the trade in small and light weaponry.
