Dear KAG: 20201021 Open Thread

This thread by Robert Patrick Lewis goes with my missing thread/comment.

With the release of the letter between Burisma & Hunter Biden thanking him for introducing the most corrupt company in Ukraine to his dad VP Dementia Beijing Biden, I really want you to take a moment today to reflect on all of the US media, “journalists” and pundits who ran –
…cover for the Bidens, who helped hide the Burisma corruption evidence, who did softball interviews with Hunter to rehab his reputation- namely Amy Rohrbach who was also more upset she didn’t get to break the Epstein story than she was that he was allowed to rape children-
…for years despite the evidence having been in her hands to put him away – and who helped impeach the greatest President in US history to cover up Biden’s Ukraine corruption just like they invented Russia Gate to hide HRC’s Russia corruption.
These people are complicit in –
…every single crime they’ve helped cover up, reframe & redirect.
They should be jailed and publicly shamed for their traitorous crimes against the Republic.

And then add this to the whole…
THE CIA AND THE MEDIA

How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up
BY CARL BERNSTEIN
In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.
Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the past twenty‑five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. Some of these journalists’ relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services—from simple intelligence gathering to serving as go‑betweens with spies in Communist countries. Reporters shared their notebooks with the CIA. Editors shared their staffs. Some of the journalists were Pulitzer Prize winners, distinguished reporters who considered themselves ambassadors without‑portfolio for their country. Most were less exalted: foreign correspondents who found that their association with the Agency helped their work; stringers and freelancers who were as interested in the derring‑do of the spy business as in filing articles; and, the smallest category, full‑time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad. In many instances, CIA documents show, journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of the managements of America’s leading news organizations.

THE AGENCY’S DEALINGS WITH THE PRESS BEGAN during the earliest stages of the Cold War. Allen Dulles, who became director of the CIA in 1953, sought to establish a recruiting‑and‑cover capability within America’s most prestigious journalistic institutions. By operating under the guise of accredited news correspondents, Dulles believed, CIA operatives abroad would be accorded a degree of access and freedom of movement unobtainable under almost any other type of cover.
American publishers, like so many other corporate and institutional leaders at the time, were willing to commit the resources of their companies to the struggle against “global Communism.” Accordingly, the traditional line separating the American press corps and government was often indistinguishable: rarely was a news agency used to provide cover for CIA operatives abroad without the knowledge and consent of either its principal owner, publisher or senior editor. Thus, contrary to the notion that the CIA insidiously infiltrated the journalistic community, there is ample evidence that America’s leading publishers and news executives allowed themselves and their organizations to become handmaidens to the intelligence services. “Let’s not pick on some poor reporters, for God’s sake,” William Colby exclaimed at one point to the Church committee’s investigators. “Let’s go to the managements. They were witting.” ….

The Dulles boys were no friends of the USA in my opinion. Remember the New World Order was hatched right after WWII.

….Origin of the Myth
The frightful idea that U.S. treaties with foreign nations supercede the Constitution has been regularly promoted since the Eisenhower era. It was given a big boost in 1952 when Secretary of State1 John Foster Dulles, a founding member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), made the following statement:

… congressional laws are invalid if they do not conform to the Constitution, whereas treaty laws can override the Constitution. Treaties, for example, can take powers away from Congress and give them to the President; they can take powers from the states and give them to the Federal Government, or to some international body and they can cut across the rights given the people by the Constitutional Bill of Rights.

And remember Allen Dulles his brother was the first CIA director.
….During the Eisenhower years, Allen and John Foster would very much act as partners: John Foster in articulating an “us versus them” mentality that would paint the Soviet Union as an intractable enemy, and Allen, the spymaster, in making covert war against this enemy. [And as a result making lots of money for the Military Industrial Complex and Federal Reserve -GC]

Dulles learned spy craft during World War II as the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) station chief in Bern, Switzerland. During the Third Reich’s last days, he worked with Himmler’s chief of staff, SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Wolff, to engineer the surrender of German forces in Italy, and later helped Reinhard Gehlen (who was over intelligence for Hitler’s Foreign Armies East and controlled a large archive of intelligence on the Soviet Union) evade war crimes prosecution and become head of West German intelligence….

And we know we got saddled with a heck of a lot of Nazi’s after WWII…

I do not see War with China even over Taiwan.
I DO see Trump coming down on China economically like a Ton of Bricks. Remember at this point Trump is just ITCHING to have a reason to slap China silly AND China is VERY economically dependent on the USA. They also have a LOT of exposure here in the USA in terms of real estate and corporate holdings and they are holding a lot of US debt, ALL of which can be canceled…. Remember that EO on Forfeiture as a result of human rights violations???
