PART ONE: PAWN TAKES QUEEN
I have an overarching theory of Russia’s attack on America and the West. Here it is.
There have not been a series of attacks on America and Europe by Vladimir Putin. There has been one single operation; it is the same operation.
Mr. Putin always wanted to use the strength of the West as
a lever to attack it, because Russia is weak and poor. So he did, and
he used a very old-fashioned and effective method. Spies inside the IC.
He also believes in propaganda and mind-games. He uses them on the West,
he uses them on Russians, in Russia.
Hillary Clinton correctly noted that Putin rigged his own election in 2011. This, apparently, is when he started to hate her.
By the 2012 election,
Russia’s desire to interfere
with American democracy was already there, but it as yet didn’t have
the tools to succeed in that aim. I deliberately omit some of the
timeline here in order to get to the bigger points in the story, but I
will return to it later.
Russian moles placed inside the NSA recruited Edward Snowden.
A letter between the FSB in Cuba and SENAIN in Quito held in a file marked ‘Assange’ in London, dated 4
th April 2013, the day before Snowden sent his only email on legalities, April 5
th
2013, and before Snowden took his uppermost level documents during the
rest of the month of April, proves conclusively that Mr. Snowden is a
Russian agent who acted on instructions from Moscow. After Snowden fled
to Hong Kong, he escaped from there by an Ecuadorean travel document
arranged by Julian Assange, and tried to get to Cuba.
Snowden is a low-level IT idiot. He had help taking
what he took from the NSA. I recommend the NSA review their case files
and pick up the Russian moles within their agency. Snowden used stolen
credentials, but it is almost certain that he received a piece of
removable media like a memory card from his Russian handlers. He took
military secrets. And by “he” I mean the FSB.
In 2013, after the Russians received all of the Snowden
files, and China some of them, most press coverage concentrated on the
traps that terrorists and Russian spies were able to avoid. They missed
that Russian hackers would now proceed to use the NSA’s tech
offensively.
In 2013, the Russians briefed their army of hackers.
Formspring, which shut down late 2013, was the app that Anthony Wiener used for his sexting.
It was three years later. Nikulin was now 29.
Mr. Putin, it is my surmise that some of the Russian moles
inside US counter-intelligence work within the FBI’s criminal division,
and particularly, within the New York field office.
Your agents within the FBI Field Office then did a number of additional things.
Firstly, they illegally spoke to any friendly press and
the Trump campaign about putative ongoing criminal investigations into
the Clinton Foundation and the matter of her email server.
They told Fox News’s Brett Baier that Hillary Clinton
“Would soon be indicted” and this was reported on TV, and then retracted
after the damage was done.
They told your agents of influence, Rudy Giuliani and X
Kallstrom, that ‘a group of active FBI agents’ had demanded Comey
release his letter. Both of them stated as much, Mr. Giuliani specifying
‘active’ FBI agents.
They used your agent General Flynn – I scorn to use ‘of
influence’ in this case, Flynn knew what he was doing – to say on live
television that active FBI agents were talking to him about an going
‘criminal investigation’
And they told the New York Times that the FBI ’Saw No
Clear Ties to Russia’ in the matter of the Russian bank servers. And the
New York Times printed it, even though they, the Times, knew it was
false.
Before the election, only I reported, correctly, that the
FBI’s Counter-Intelligence division in Connecticut had obtained a FISA
warrant for ‘any US persons’ relating to the two banks involved in the
Trump Tower server; Alfa Bank and SVB Bank.
So your moles in the NSA recruited Ed Snowden in 2012/2013.
You got to work using NSA hacking techniques. Stealing
legit credentials features often. You hacked Wiener in 2013 via
Formspring. You waited.
You used your moles in the FBI Field Office and, in 2016
at the right moment, you woke up Wiener’s laptop via the ’Snowden
Virus’, found or planted old emails on it, and suddenly had the FBI
Field Office “find it” and then lean, hard, on Comey to produce the
letter he did.
Your RIS moles in the FBI then engaged in some agitprop
with Giuliani, Flynn, an innocent Fox News, a not-innocent New York
Times who deliberately used its prior authority to rubbish Franklin Foer
and David Corn’s Alfa Bank server reporting, to make absolutely certain
that “Trump-Russia” was suppressed and Clinton was defeated.
The trouble with hiring young and foolish men to flood
twitter and Facebook, to act as your hackers and so forth, is that they
are young and foolish. Trolls gonna troll.
In this case, the Twitter account @FBIRecordsVault ceased
being dormant for the first time in two years. It went on a little tweet
storm. The last tweets were attacks on Hillary Clinton with a chaser of
an attack on Eric Holder, the former AG.
The first tweet, however, was a tweet praising Fred C. Trump.
(Donald Trump has often said that his father is his only hero). It used
language about Mr. Trump senior that was not only unlike any FBI
descriptors ever used before, but had been lifted from Donald Trump’s
commercial, company website.
When I saw that, I was overwhelmed with joy. It was not
the severity of the offense, it was its traceability. Somebody sat at a
keyboard and typed those tweets. Identifiable people. An
FBI statement wrongly said
that these were automated responses to three FOIA requests. Not true.
Some identifiable person ordered and gave that statement.
When
I filed a private FOIA lawsuit with Mark S Zaid and Bradley Moss, we
wrote the questions in ways that would be difficult to avoid answering.
Who wrote those tweets? How many agents knew of them? What records
exist of FBI agents or staff visiting the Trump commercial website to
lift the descriptor of Fred Trump? What
internal investigations
exist into FBI agents leaking criminal investigations to Flynn and
Giuliani? Do they feature any of the same agents who composed, knew of
or authorized the FBI Records Vault tweets?
Even little pawns, like Twitter accounts, can become Queens, if you let them reach the 8th square, Mr. Putin.
So there you have it. Part One:
Russia has moles inside the IC, several of whom are not yet caught.
Ecuador exfiltrates Snowden to Moscow.
Russia’s FBI Field Office moles “suddenly find” the emails, perhaps even placed on that computer, at a crucial juncture.
Russia’s FBI Field Office moles pressure Comey into releasing his letter, and thereby spin the election to Trump.
How am doing so far, Mr. Putin? You know, for a woman. And an amateur.
PART TWO – FBI: WHITE KNIGHT VS BLACK KNIGHT
Or, James Comey’s Counterintelligence FBI vs Rudy Giuliani’s NY Criminal FBI
There are three parts to this theory, like a good play,
and narratively, the next section ought to be about your spy ring in the
University of Cambridge, your hacking of Facebook and Twitter and your
propaganda wars across Europe, but as I have learned from you one must
play to the audience, and I think American readers are mostly terrified
that Director Comey will throw America under the bus and cover up your
coup.
I don’t agree. Here is my take.
Before the BBC and the Guardian confirmed
my HeatStreet exclusive on the FISA warrant issued in October,
I was a lone voice in the wilderness on its existence.(And may history
record that our conservative-leaning website had that scoop). When the
writer Jason Leopold of Vice asked if Trump had been under investigation
in September he got a GLOMAR response: ‘We can neither confirm nor deny
the existence of any such records’.
GLOMAR responses are named for a submarine and can only be
given if a matter of national security is at stake. Mr. Leopold
announced he would sue, for why should a concluded investigation be a
matter of national security? I told him, with little credibility then
and tons now, that the GLOMAR response made sense because there is an ongoing investigation into Mr. Trump and his associates on a matter of national security.
Democrats, including Democrats in Obama’s government who
ought to know better, have asked if James Comey had ‘a double standard’
over the investigations into Clinton and Trump. Yes; he did, and he
does. He may talk about a criminal investigation. He may not talk about a current, ongoing investigation into espionage, bribery, money laundering and so forth that affects US national security.
Over the summer and early autumn Democrats wrongly stated
that the FBI / Comey had said they were not looking into Roger Stone and
had declined to investigate Roger Stone, who announced his links to
Wikileaks. This came from a Senate hearing and
Mr. Comey’s testimony to Democrat Rep. Nadler. Rep. Nadler asked if Stone’s boasts constituted special circumstances, Comey said “I don’t think so.”
It
must have been frustrating for Comey. He was GLOMAR-ing Congress right
to their face and they did not understand what was going on.
Subsequently, the heads of NSA, CIA and FBI “Glomar”ed, in
no particular order, two Congressional open Russian hack hearings, one
closed briefing to the House of Representatives, and in the case of the
CIA’s Director Brennan, Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.
Furthermore, although Comey is a natural Republican he
appeared to have played it straight. In the summer he cleared Clinton of
a criminal standard of negligence. In the fall, he had been sandbagged
by Russian moles inside the FBI Field Office in New York. But I do not
believe Mr. Comey surrendered wrongly to ‘pressure’. He knew the moles
had effective kompromat – the emails your hacker Nikulin planted
or woke – and that were he not to revise his testimony in the light of
new evidence, his far more important natsec investigation into the
traitor, Donald Trump, would be discredited. He then worked around the
clock to clear Mrs. Clinton.
All evidence shows that James Comey is pursuing your
assault on America, Mr. Putin, with the fearless I expect from a
counter-intelligence patriot. In June, he named Donald Trump to a FISA
court as an agent of Russian influence. In July, he did the same. Both
times, the court turned him down. In April, Mr. Comey received audio of
Russian money financing Trump – that’s the same time that Paul Manafort
joined the campaign to run it. He formed a joint CIA/FBI /Treasury task
force to look at the money.
Over the summer, US counter-intelligence met with Chris
Steele because they had already got their own independent information
that he was correct. On October 5th,
your hacker Nikulin was picked up on an FBI ‘Red Warrant’ in Prague
which means Director Comey had put a top priority on getting him some
time before. Armed with whatever Nikulin spilled – and, Mr. Putin, he
fainted when they caught him – Director Comey went back again, to a new
FISA judge, on October 15, and he got his warrant.
Every indication is that Director Comey is not only
independent but plays better chess than both you or I, Mr. Putin. (Can I
call you VVP? I feel like I know you). For in September, the FBI did
not join the ODNI statement about Russia’s intent being to aid Trump.
Why not? Because while the NSA and CIA had heard the tapes of Americans
in Trump’s camp working with your officials, taking your bribes,
disseminating your information, Director Comey had not yet received his warrant.
In order not to give Trump’s defense and the defense of his camps
anything to go on, the FBI was Caesar’s wife. It did not act on
surveillance of US persons abroad offered by the UK, Estonia, BIS, and
Lithuania until it got the warrant. Director Comey does not want any
‘fruit of the poisoned tree’ defenses (no pun intended, Mr. Putin, and
may I remind you sir that it is bad form to kill one’s opponents in
chess. It’s cheating).
The FBI ‘changed’ its stance on the final Russian hacking
report because they had, by then, listened to the tapes. Legally. Under a
warrant.
The FBI has, fortunately, always employed the principle of
compartmentalization. The FBI Counter-Intelligence division in New York
kept their dealings secret from the criminal field office in New York.
But, some readers will say, Russian moles in the NSA – OK,
it’s a worthy target. Why would the Russians have sleeper moles in a
mere FBI criminal field office, even if it is New York?
And the answer to that is simple; a corrupt FBI NY Field
Office guards the interest of Russian mobsters, allows them to launder
their money through Trump’s “failing” casinos and building projects,
makes sure that Trump being paid double for a Florida house doesn’t get
investigated, allows paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to keep a mansion in New
York City, ensures that
Trump’s criminal taxes don’t get investigated, and sits hard enough on
the NYPD that Trump can commit crime after crime in plain sight,
socializing with the FBI’s most wanted mobsters, and never get charged
with a damn thing. It ensures that Manafort and Stone can live in Trump
tower, that Cohen’s trips on Russian-Registered private jets get washed.
It allows the “FBI” to be next to the media, including the New York
Times and Fox news, and act as un-named law enforcement sources. The FBI
Field Office in New York wasn’t just infiltrated by your agents to
scupper Hillary Clinton, Mr. Putin. It was there to guard the money of
your billionaires and to cover the tracks of your handlers in the
Russian embassy and consulates. That’s why the dead security guard at
the Russian consulate never got investigated. You have a lot of people
in New York, and they are very affable, pleasant folks, too. I’ve met a
couple.
But let’s get back to the game. Your trouble is that Mr.
Comey is not for sale. You have nothing on him. Let’s remember your
hacker Nikulin, whom Comey was chasing since who knows when. A few days
ago Comey picked up another of your hackers in Spain as he was about to
board a plane to France with his wife. You yourself, through your
propaganda sites, connected this to the DNC hack. You had the identical
reaction that you did to Nikulin being picked up. You threw a rather
beta male hissy fit.
Stanislav Lisov
had coded a bank virus. But there’s rather more to it than that. Lisov
fits the hacker narrative in the Steele dossier. He needed paying.
He has Gazprom connections, and he has a
scary interest in satellites, which you, Mr. Putin, would like to weaponize against the United States.
But you know, the FBI caught him, none the less. Comey
caught him. They know about the US company he formed, how it transferred
to Oregon from Florida, and how money was funneled through a failed
‘secretive startup’.
The white knight is outplaying the black knight and all his moves indicate that.
PART THREE: ENDGAME – THE ‘IAGO GAMBIT’
It’s plain from both money and propaganda that Steve
Bannon is your tool, your agent of influence; that you work through
Nigel Farage and so on; that RT and Sputnik are not merely spy centers,
but money-laundering tools; and that you have used ‘Big data’ of
Cambridge Analytica (personality types plus propaganda from SCR) to
poison the minds of Americans and indeed voters across the West. You
have your hackers sitting on 4 Chan, where
the ‘prank’ on the Brexit petition involved Russian server addresses.
But you are a careless player, Mr. Putin. Scrubbing
archive.is
of tweets wherein @GenFlynn pushes your hideous propaganda is pretty
dumb. Scrubbing Michael Cohen’s phone data is also dumb, when we have
him and his daughter waltzing around Europe and the Caribbean in
Russian-owned private jets. You live by the troll, sir, then you die by
the troll. Your propaganda and how you pay for it is all traceable.
America has its hackers, too.
But Mr. Putin, James Comey’s friends were waiting there to
turn your black pawn into our white queen. And whenever Flynn tweeted
Russian agitprop, the FBI and the NSA had a URL.
The King is dead. And I didn’t even have to bother with
Sessions, Page, Manafort, Stone, Flynn, and all the SIGINT that we have
on them, the deals they made with Wikileaks to receive intel that you
hacked and phished and planted with your viruses.
Impeachment of Mr. Trump is on the way.
What you should ask yourself is if it is in Russia’s and
your own best interest for you to keep deceiving an angry America? For
when the trials do start, the back-covering, the rage, the scrambling,
the desperate need to seem harder on your oligarch friends than the next
politician – this could harm not only you and your allies but the next
generation of Russian kleptocrats too.
It would surely be better to give it up now, release some
of that kompromat now, push Trump out, and face the anger of a relieved
United States after Trump resigns.
But perhaps you cannot.
Perhaps Mr. Putin, you have played yourself right into a corner. After all, those who know what komprat you hold on them also know that you hold it. And they can collaborate with the FBI.
Chess is a good game, sir.
But the reason Russians are so poor is that you can’t stop playing it.
