Israel, Great Britain, etc., all spy on the U.S. and interfere in our elections
Before we get to the latest story in this absurd propaganda show, let's "remember" the news from just the past few weeks...

And, now, we're just learning about this latest clusterf*ck...

"It feels a bit too on-the-nose not to be disturbing.”
A consulting firm with ties to Israeli intelligence pitched a plan to the Trump campaign to use social media and foreign assistance to interfere with the 2016 election that turned out to be eerily similar to Russian meddling.
Wikistrat started gaming out a foreign influence campaign just days after Donald Trump entered the race, and an associated firm pitched senior campaign official Rick Gates on the plan in April 2016, reported The Daily Beast.
SPONSOREDThe pitch by Psy Group, which is reportedly owned by Wikistrat founder Joel Zamel, laid out an election influence campaign that involved creating thousands of fake social media accounts to support Trump, and Zamel himself took part in at least two meetings in Washington in 2016 and 2017.
His staff at Psy Group continued making connections about their social media manipulation scheme with individuals who represented themselves as close to the Trump campaign.
Zamel met with Donald Trump Jr. after his father became the Republican presidential nominee to discuss the plan, which resembled the election interference already underway by Russia and the scenario described by Wikistrat the year before.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators have already questioned Zamel, who is so low-profile that no public photos of him are known, and Gates has agreed to cooperate as part of a plea agreement.
It’s not clear whether the Psy Group plans were ever implemented, but some former employees said at least parts of them were carried out.An attorney for Wikistrat pointed out the firm had conducted hundreds of simulations on a variety of scenarios, and many in the cybersecurity world were concerned about foreign election interference when Psy Group conducted the sim.
But one former employee who helped create the 2015 report said the accuracy of their predictions are spooky in retrospect.
“At the time we were discussing the subject of cyber-interference in democratic processes, it seemed and felt like just another idle intellectual exercise and scenario planning project for political scientists,” said Peter Marino, a former Wikistrat analyst. “But retrospectively, it feels a bit too on-the-nose not to be disturbing.”
Wouldn't it be interesting if the public realized the true extent of this Orwellian travesty?
Then again, America...

It's different when Israel does it
Israel has the decency of bribing our politicians.
Russia didn't bribe anyone.
See the difference?
@gjohnsit Thanks for clearing this

Well, to be fair, the Russians did bribe the Clintons ...
back in 2010 in connection with that uranium deal.
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
Exactly my point
No one is complaining about that.
She should be indicted!
Where is Mueller? Probably taking his orders from her.
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
Nobody cares as long as they get their beak wet.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
My gawd you mean to say...
That the Russian Internet Research Agency with 12 trolls and $100,000 was NOT thee driving cause of Hillary's loss. Mueller has your name.
Speaking of the Russian Internet Agency Trolls ...
Mueller says Russians are using his discovery materials in disinformation effort
Pretty dumb for the hacker not to cover up his IP address don't you think? And how was this reported on ToP?
Mueller Says Russians are Altering his Discovery Materials in Attempt to Discredit Investigation
Hmm...this is very interesting
Whenever I read some new story regarding Russia Gate I always ask what the real story is. After Mueller charged Concord Management their lawyers showed up to defend them which I think surprised Mueller. He said that he couldn't share his information with the attorneys because of "national security reasons."
Alleged Russian Troll Farm Attorneys Could Be Sanctioned Over ‘Altered’ Discovery Debacle
Is this Mueller's way of trying to not have to give them his notes?
And speaking of Israel's interference with the election, we know that Flynn wasn't talking to Russia before Trump took office about the sanctions, he was trying to get them to not sanction Israel for their illegal settlements. Bibi asked Kushner to ask Flynn to do that.
This story is probably
I can't believe we have so many crazy people in charge of things.

So basically all those followers
on Tweeter, likes and shit on FB, and god only
knows what else is used on Instagram, Whatsapp
etc.etc.etc. are paid trolls.
It's likely tRump has only a 1-2,000 followers
if that.
Snookered again, amerikans
I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
