What George Papadopoulos did before joining the Trump campaign: a chronology
Brian Whitaker
Aug 24, 2018

… 2013
October 22: Hudson Institute holds a one-day conference in Washington entitled “Power Shifts in the Eastern Mediterranean: The Emerging Strategic Relationship of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus”. Speakers include representatives from Greek, Cypriot and Israeli embassies, plus Bush-era Neocons Douglas Feith and David Wurmser. In his CV, Papadopoulos claims credit for setting it up:

“My vision resulted in the successful completion of the first ever conference on US-Greece-Israel-Cyprus political, commercial, and energy ties. This tripartite relationship that I have promoted has the potential to become the stabilising link of the post-Arab Spring structure in the Eastern Mediterranean that U.S. policy desperately seeks.”

… 2014
January 29: In an article for Arutz Sheva (known in English as Israel National News), Papadopoulos warns against viewing Turkey as an ally of the United States:

“The US would be wise to shift its policies, and resources, towards improving relations at all levels with its stalwart allies in the region, Israel, Greece, and Cyprus, to contain the newly emergent Russian fleet, and malignant jihadist forces operating around Israel’s borders.”

The article describes him as “a senior consultant” at the Hudson Institute and as “initiator of the first conference on US-Israel-Greece-Cyprus geopolitical developments”.

Baker Testimony Reveals Concerns About FBI Probe, Pre-Election Contacts With Mother Jones Reporter
BY JEFF CARLSON
March 26, 2019

James Baker, the former general counsel at the FBI, provided a stunning testimony to congressional investigators in October last year.

… During testimony, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.)… paused to outline his concerns, telling Baker, “everything about this investigation seems to have been done in an abnormal way, the way that you have gotten the information, the way that Peter Strzok got information, the way that Bruce Ohr was used, the way that Perkins Coie actually came in and gave you information.”

… Baker responded: "… I had skepticism about all this stuff. I was concerned about all of this. This whole situation was horrible, and it was novel and we were trying to figure out what to do, and it was highly unusual.”

… Baker repeatedly met with Michael Sussmann, a partner at Perkins Coie, who shared with him information that detailed alleged communications between servers in Trump Tower and servers located in Russia at Alfa Bank—an allegation that eventually was debunked. Baker also acknowledged that he had a “personal relationship” with Sussmann, as they had previously “both worked in the criminal division together at the Department of Justice.”

… Early in Baker’s testimony, he was asked about his relationship with Mother Jones reporter David Corn. Baker said that Corn was a “longtime friend...”

Baker testified that after Corn provided his memos from the Steele dossier to him, those new memos were then provided to the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.

“He gave it to me, and then I immediately gave it to — I think it was Bill Priestap…"

MSNBC PANEL ADMITS MUELLER REPORT ‘UNDERCUTS ALMOST EVERYTHING’ IN STEELE DOSSIER

The two journalists most closely linked to the Steele dossier acknowledged Monday that the Democrat-funded document was debunked by the Mueller investigation, which found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government...

referring to the Steele dossier as "the dossier," "the dossier." Somehow they never refer to it as Opposition Research PAID FOR by the Clinton campaign.

So it turns out not to be true. So now is the Clinton campaign going to sue Fusion GPS for having produced this boo-boo?

According to Wikipedia "Fusion GPS is a commercial research and strategic intelligence firm based in Washington, D.C. The company conducts open-source investigations and provides research and strategic advice for businesses, law firms and investors, as well as for political inquiries, such as opposition research.[1] The "GPS" initialism is derived from "Global research, Political analysis, Strategic insight."

@Linda Wood

The dossier was exactly opposition research on Trump's campaign. That her supporters don't see a problem with Hillary using her party's intelligence agencies to do that is mind boggling, but then they don't believe that she rigged the primary or did any of the things we know she did.

This informative article has lots of links to others that pretty much sums up lots of stuff we knew about and some that I didn't.

Horowitz and Huber are supposed to be doing investigations into Hillary's foundation and the FBI investigations to see if it was botched. We already know that it was from the redacted IG report, but apparently it was supposed to even deeper. Huber hasn't asked people any questions yet nor has he intervened a grand jury. If these investigations take place I'm wondering if anything will come of them? Will they be just another white washed ones like we've been seeing since Fitzmas? Will the PTB let one of their own take a fall? I'm doubting it because our justice system is broken. But we know what they did and why they got away with it.

@Linda Wood The dossier is fake and not even legitimate opposition research--more propaganda. Also it appears that Fusion GPS set up the Trump tower meeting between Veselnitskaya and Don Jr. et al. that was designed to provide evidence for going to the FISA court to get clearance for security agencies to spy on the Trump campaign.

@Roy Blakeley had previously been prohibited from entering the US, but Obama's DoJ gave her a special entry visa.

As problematic as it has been for the Special Counsel's office to connect Trump to election interference by the Russians, It should be very easy to connect Clinton to the Russians in a quid pro quo (Uranium 1) or via the Steele dossier. Veselnitskaya is a good example of how the Obama Administration is very connected to the Mueller probe.

@gulfgal98 was a justification for going to the FISA court to obtain permission to survieille the Trump campaign. The whole thing was a setup and the Obama State Department was complicit.

@Linda Wood

about GPS's being an "initialism."

The "GPS" initialism is derived from "Global research, Political analysis, Strategic insight".[2]

What is the difference between the words acronym and initialism?

Acronym is a fairly recent word, dating from the 1940s, although acronyms existed long before we gave them that name. The term was preceded in English by the word initialism, meaning an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of a phrase, and which has been in use since the late 19th century.

Some people feel strongly that acronym should only be used for terms like NATO, which is pronounced as a single word, and that initialism should be used if the individual letters are all pronounced distinctly, as with FBI. Our research shows that acronym is commonly used to refer to both types of abbreviations.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/initialism

I imagine some flexibility exists, as with using or dropping the first letters of articles, prepositions, etc. However, that is not what the Fusion folk did.

The intialism of "Global research, Political analysis, Strategic insight" would be GRPASI.

"GPS" would, however, be the initialism of "Global Political Sh*t" (like "the dossier").

I've posted it here before but it might have been in a dead thread.

All roads lead to the U.K. intelligence and Milsfud

This dude setup Papadopoulos with the story that Russia had Hillary's emails which he then told the Dutch ambassador.

The previous article I posted above talks about how the FBI setup the Trump tower meeting with the Russian lawyer who was being paid by Fusion GPS. She had a problem with her passport and the state department fixed it for her so she could make the meeting. Afterward she went to dinner with the head of Fusion GPS. Sweet gig huh?

for both of these good links, which I hope to read as soon as possible. Can you imagine how bad this is? I just truly hope the pressure from the American people will bring the truth out and bring the ad men for our war machine to justice.

as the history of virtually all the key players was studiously avoided. Paul Manifort, for example, had been in the same business for four decades, plying his trade with both Democratic and Republican administrations. Claims of national security will continue to be used to keep the truth hidden from the public. Investigations and the pursuit of justice become fodder for kabuki theatre only, never the the pursuit of the truth.

I just truly hope the pressure from the American people will bring the truth out and bring the ad men for our war machine to justice.

I share your hope and your wish for the truth to be revealed. Because I believe that both parties of our duopoly are equally complicit and will continue to grant immunities for confessions (Ollie North, Imran Awan, etc), avoid implicating those actually running the show and continue to pursue the wars for profit, regime change and world dominion that have been the Deep State’s overarching purpose since the end of WWII.

@ovals49 @ovals49

with everything you say, especially when you describe their efforts to

pursue the wars for profit, regime change and world dominion that have been the Deep State’s overarching purpose since the end of WWII.

I hope you will look into the history that shows Allen Dulles and his clients performed the same proxy war in the 1930s that we are seeing today, the arming of fascist death squads and terrorist armies in order to end the labor movement and to destroy democracy worldwide.

https://www.panshin.com/trogholm/secret/rightroots/dulles.html

Early in 1933, both Dulles brothers attended a meeting in Germany where German industrialists agreed to back Hitler's bid for power in exchange for his pledge to break the German unions. A few months later, John Foster Dulles negotiated a deal with Hitler's economics minister whereby all German trade with the United States would be coordinated through a syndicate headed by Averell Harriman's cousin. With the Nazis enforcing a favorable climate for business, the profits for Thyssen and other companies soared, and the Union Banking Corporation increasingly became a Nazi money-laundering machine. In 1934, George Herbert Walker placed Prescott Bush on Union Bank's board of directors, and Bush and Harriman also began to use the bank as the basis for a complex and deceptive system of holding companies.

The Hamburg-Amerika shipping line, which Harriman and Walker had controlled since 1920, had a particularly high degree of Nazi involvement in its operations. In 1934, a congressional investigation revealed it to have become a front for I.G. Farben's spying, propaganda, and bribery on behalf of the German government. Rather than advising Walker and Harriman to divest themselves of these tainted assets, Prescott Bush hired Allen Dulles to help conceal them. From 1937 on, the Dulles brothers would serve Bush and Harriman in all their covert dealings with Nazi firms. They also performed similar cloaking services for others, like the Rockefellers.

It goes without saying that Harriman, Walker, Bush, and Dulles were morally tainted by their connections with German firms like Thyssen and I.G. Farben, since they both funded and profited from Hitler's crimes against humanity. However, their entire enterprise was corrupt in a more subtle sense as well, in that its very basis was financial fraud on an unprecedented scale. That would have been true even if Hitler had never come to power. The real significance of adding the Nazis to the equation was that it upped the stakes, both increasing the potential rewards for the participants and forcing them into increasingly elaborate deceptions to conceal their frauds.

I hope to have time to really look at this graphic of the CIA journalism connections, if that's more or less what it is. But yes, that's what's happening here. The private former intelligence contractors gave salacious unverified lies to journalists who gave them to the FBI.
