The Chief Thief's Haul



The Chief Thief’s Haul

By Carolyn McGiffert Ekedahl

In Palm Beach, by the beautiful sea,
There’s a Chamber amazing to see.
It’s got a huge crop
Of secrets quite top!
You can prob’ly get in for a fee!

They’ve been hidden down there for awhile,
The product of theft and of guile.
You’ve the Chief Thief to thank
For this Chamber quite dank.
What could his end purpose be?

The Chief Thief is portly and wan.
His acolytes call him The Don.
He’s know for his bluster,
The mobs he can muster,
And the laws he can break with aplomb.

Was he planning to sell secrets rare?
With whom was he planning to share?
The Russians perhaps?
Or the Kurds or the Lapps?
The “return” matters more than the “where!”

For The Don is a bottom-line thug.
He’s a hole in his pocket to plug.
He’s completely depraved.
Why, he sold his wife’s grave
Just as soon as the hole had been dug!

But those state secrets, codeword and all,
Were just part of his criminal haul.
For the bidder most high
He will certainly try,
If again he escapes from the law!

Carolyn McGiffert Ekedahl is the former Deputy Inspector General for Inspections, Central Intelligence Agency and co-author of “The Wars of Edward Shevardnadze.”

A series of unfortunate events is no accident.

Exclusive: US extracted top spy from inside Russia in 2017

by Jim Sciutto
CNN, Sept. 9, 2019

In a previously undisclosed secret mission in 2017, the United States successfully extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government, multiple Trump administration officials with direct knowledge told CNN.

A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy.

The decision to carry out the extraction occurred soon after a May 2017 meeting in the Oval Office in which Trump discussed highly classified intelligence with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. The intelligence, concerning ISIS in Syria, had been provided by Israel.

The disclosure to the Russians by the President, though not about the Russian spy specifically, prompted intelligence officials to renew earlier discussions about the potential risk of exposure, according to the source directly involved in the matter.

At the time, then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo told other senior Trump administration officials that too much information was coming out regarding the covert source, known as an asset. An extraction, or “exfiltration” as such an operation is referred to by intelligence officials, is an extraordinary remedy when US intelligence believes an asset is in immediate danger.

The source was considered the highest level source for the US inside the Kremlin, high up in the national security infrastructure, according to the source familiar with the matter and a former senior intelligence official.

According to CNN’s sources, the spy had access to Putin and could even provide images of documents on the Russian leader’s desk.

Program MORONIC DONNIE



BLOTUS: "I actually took one when I -- very recently, when I -- when I was -- the radical left were saying, is he all there? Is he all there? And I proved I was all there, because I got -- I aced it. I aced the test. I took it at Walter Reed Medical Center in front of doctors. And they were very surprised. They said, that's an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did."

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

"I'm not under investigation," he added.

Frank went further.

“I have the suspicion, based on the past conduct of this former President, that he was was squirreling this away to do something with it. That he’s not just a collector, but rather he was intending to use it to his own benefit. He saw ‘Classified’ as capital and he was waiting for the moment to use it.”

Geez O. Pete.

Libertarian Group Lists "Woke Churches" for Targetting

Head Douche went to Dartmouth.



As threats of far-right violence rise, New Hampshire Free Staters shared list of 'woke' churches

* A New Hampshire libertarian group tweeted a list of churches, classifying them by how "woke" they are.

* Being LGBTQ-friendly, COVID-cautious, or having a Ukraine flag displayed is considered "woke."

* The list was posted amid a spike in far-right threats of violence.

The Free State Project — a New Hampshire-based libertarian movement — tweeted a list of Christian churches in the state, identifying those that are considered "woke."

The list, which was published on a wiki called "LibertyWins.org," largely measures "wokeness" by whether the church is LGBTQ-friendly, has advocated for racial or social justice, or had implemented COVID precautions.

Snip…

There are nearly 900 churches named, and they are identified by their location and denomination.

Snip…

While displaying a Pride flag, or requiring masks was a sure-fire way to land churches on the list, there were other reasons cited for the classification.

An Episcopal church made its way on the woke list by donating to the NAACP. Another displayed a Ukraine flag on its website. A third included a blurb on its website about how they are located on "unceded native American land."

Body language is part of the language.

Making noises with its face.



A dialect of insane NAZI Demented Dixie Mafiya Moronic Dead Ender Jackboot Gangster Rhythms.

Note the tiny hand formed into a “W-P” shape, bringing the White Power sign used by domestic terrorists into the presidential mainstream. Siding with them makes bloated tick a traitor.

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

And truly they kept quiet. But they stand out by whether they advance the Big Lie nonsense or not. Do they believe in democracy or not.

Gen. Michael Hayden said the GOP is the most dangerous force for evil on the planet.

Bastards are organized, indoctrinated, doped up dead enders programmed to wreck havoc on humanity as they destroy themselves, our country and the planet. Their bosses think they’re going to get away with it, because they have never been held to account for their treason, corruption and criminality. Until now.

Shame on CNN.

Stelter is a great journalist. He keeps them honest.

When the presence of a person with integrity is a threat, CNN has a problem.
