Russian Probe: Awaiting a blockbuster reading the Nunes Memo, but it was all rotten tomatoes!

I was today anticipating the biggest blockbuster, the biggest most bold and brilliant Memo. The Republican Devin Nunes Memo, made by the Californian lawmaker. Clearly this is no Stephen Spielberg movie, this is no movie with Jennifer Lawerence or Benedict Cumberbatch. I was expecting fire and fury. It was supposed to blow my mind. If not, why all this drama of not unleashing the Democratic Party Memo and this?

Why are this such a big deal? That President Donald J. Trump wants to obstruct the Russian investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Because he is afraid of what he will find with his indictments and the things Trump is trying to hide. That is why Trump does whatever he can to dismiss, dismantle and destroy Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), because they are investigating him and he cannot counter-sue it to oblivion like he could like a business-man of some strange sort.

So that he would unleash a possible confidential information within the memo. Proves that the Law and Order President, only care for law and order, when he detains other than himself or his party. David Nunes isn’t the brightest fellow on Capitol Hill and that is proven with this one. Instead of letting a blank being in the chamber, he tried a shot and thought he would kill deer. The only thing he killed was possibly his career or proving his loyalty to Trump. Who will use him like condom, like the ones he used with Stormy Daniels. Well, that is another dirty story for bad tabloid. Not me, though Trump and the Porn Star story deserves total scrutiny, in the sense and levels of Barrack Obama wearing a brown suit. Check that up and see how much that was written about that crap.

Well, back to the nonsense of the obstruction of justice, because they want to make it harder and leave breadcrumbs around trying to validate a reason to stop the investigation of Trump. It’s proven again that the Republican’s doesn’t care or listen to Democrats, just like they did when the government was shut-down. They are majority, so they do as they please, but the efforts to thwart the investigation. Proves how far the President will go. Unleash state secrets to the public to save his own skin. The constitution, protocol or even breaking the norm doesn’t matter to him. Just his own ego and ass.

Donald Trump is an ass, the biggest asshole in a long time running a Nation. That is why he used his White House Counsel Donald McGahn II to address the legal matter and importance, because Trump cannot answer or take responsibility for the acts of destruction against Department of Justice and his own Attorney General Jeff Sesssions. Also the attacks in general on the FBI and the rest of the intelligence organizations within the state. He will leave no stone unturned to fix his predicament.

That Devin Nunes wrote a Memo on 18th January 2018, that isn’t surprising. That he is trying to make the Steele Dossier look like a smirk job is hilarious, considering the implication and that both Dutch and United Kingdom Intelligence has verified parts of it. That he tries to pin it on Hillary Clinton and such, that is political statement and not news. Trump would pin aids, cancer and ebola on Clinton if he could. In this regard, Nunes is only following his orders from the White House.

What is amazing that there are supposed no connection between Carter Paige and George Papadopoulos, which is striking in itself. Since they we’re both in the Trump Campaign and working to get Trump elected. Secondly, the we’re both aides and worked to generate support both in Russia and in Greece. Papadopolous has already pleaded guilty and is co-operating, while Paige is still working on his matter before Mueller. Paige already has a profile and been followed, because of his ties to Moscow. So with that in mind and Russia hasn’t really been a friend, there been Russian spies in the United States who has been expelled. Therefore, that government surveillance on Paige shouldn’t be striking. More evident of how reckless the Trump Campaign was and used the Americans with Russian ties. To secure a benefiting relationship with Russian counterpart and their priorities. Because the Trump Presidency are afraid of when the pieces are collected together. That is why the Memo had to be released. Not that confidential memos usually are released hot-cakes, but maybe that is the future of the White House. Since they are not caring, can we get the memos from former FBI Director James Comey and all others than reveal more facts into the Obstruction of Justice case of Trump.

So now the nonsense is out and the supposed big booming memo is unleashed, we can now scrutinize the White House and the Nunes, who had an agenda, but instead shooting themselves in the foot. That the American government are having secret surveillance on American Citizen’s make sense; because US Citizen are in possible cahoots with a foreign enemy states, which happens to Russia like Carter Paige. So it is not strange that there was more extensions of so and that the FBI continued to investigate it. It only suddenly matters because the person was connected to the Trump Campaign and was in meetings with people in and around Trump. That is why the President is pissed, because he found out someone was under surveillance because of their connections. So it is the company that he kept and their history is following them. Just like former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort and Richard Gates who are indicted too, who has to many connections to Ukraine and Russian oligarchs. Therefore, Nunes, who knows this is trying deflect the issues with this sort of play.

The cards are already play and the Trump Campaign, the White House and aides around the Republican Party are trying to sort this out; however they are not good at it. It is a reason why Trump cheats on the golf-course and also on his marriage. Because he isn’t loyal and cannot be honest. That is proven, that’s why the confidential can released, since it was to help his case. Clearly it doesn’t, this should make Nunes a laughing stock in DC. He deserves it, because this Memo isn’t working as salvation, this is made for their own crucifixion. Peace.

The New York Gang doesn’t want to sanction Russian’s like the Congress do!

Today, 180 days after the ‘H.R.3364 – Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act’, an act where the United States Government could sanction Russia, Iran and other countries, that the United States have less favorable relationship with. This was a reaction by the Congress, that got unanimously support in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate. On the 25th July 2017, the House of Representatives voted for it 419 for it and 3 against it. Two days later on the 27th July 2017, the Senate voted, 98 for it and 2 against it. Therefore, of the lawmakers in the United States. They was all for it, in the sense of protecting the Republic from foreign powers and sanctioning them for interfering.

Clearly, the White House and the Donald Trump Administration see it otherwise. Since they are using part of the law to their advantage. So they don’t have to enact or add sanctions on Russia. It is weird, but they are writing a waiver by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who wrote to Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representative Edward R. Royce this on the 29th January 2018:

The guidance established a multi-factor approach to determining what constituted a “significant” transaction that includes, but is not limited to, the significance of the transaction to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, including its relation to cyber misconduct; the nature and magnitude of the transaction; and the relation and significance of the transaction to Russia’s defence and intelligence sectors more generally” (…) “We engaged in extensive consultations and “deep dives” with the relevant country desks at the Department of State and the Department of Defense to promulgate a comprehensive approach to implementing the legislation, identify opportunities and challenges for implementation in each affected relationship, and develop engagement approaches integrated with the entire range of bilateral priorities at stake. We extensively engaged the private sector, bot via in-person meetings and by responding to the many inquires received through our public web address, to promote compliance and identify private sector challenges” (Rex Tillerson waiver to Edward R. Royce on H.R. 3364).

We can wonder what sort of Bilateral Priorities means, as this is politician lingo, to say things of importance without specifying. If this is ExxonMobile Contracts to extract petroleum together with GazProm, who knows. If there are other initial priorities that we don’t know about. The DoD and DoS are using one by sentence to not add sanctions on Russia, and it can make any thinking man wonder:

This is taken from Sec. 231:

(1) a written determination that the waiver—

(A) is in the vital national security interests of the

United States”

(c) DELAY OF IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS.—The President may delay the imposition of sanctions under subsection (a) with respect to a person if the President certifies to the appropriate congressional committees, not less frequently than every 180 days while the delay is in effect, that the person is substantially reducing the number of significant transactions described in subsection (a) in which that person engages” (H.R. 3364) .

We can wonder what vital national security interests that the President Trump and Secretary Tillerson are seeing within Russia. Is the Pee-Pee tape with hookers, that the Kremlin might have? Is it possible hacked documents from the Trump Campaign. Is the possible ties to Russian Mobs and Russian Laundromat for fueling black-market monies and white-wash them for Russian Oligarchs through the Trump Organization? Is the help of Russian agents and operatives during the 2015 and 2016 Campaigns before the election victory of President Trump?

That is just simple questions we are awaiting answers on and hoping the Special Counsel Robert Mueller can answer these and find the evidence of the involvement with Russian’s in the Elections in 2016. All of the connections between the Russians and Trump. That has been uncovered with time, and more and more questions have been arisen. They will not become smaller while the investigations linger and the knowledge of the collusion from Russian operatives within the United States Presidential Election, the in-action from the current administration is saying more than words.

That the Trump Administration who has enough problematic sources, enough trying to fire anyone who investigate into the Russian Collusion, fires anyone and questions the intelligence organizations who has warned of the Russian interference. Are still being silenced. Just like former FBI Director James Comey. Also, now FDI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The firing of Attorney General Sally Yates. And all the former who was Attorney General of Southern New York Phreet Bharara, who was also fired by Trump. Anyone he can get haul of will he fire or make it an easy with. We can just await Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who haven’t been loyal enough to Trump (in his deluded mind) and also Deputy General Rod Rosenstein, who got Special Counsel Mueller to start investigations into his affairs. We just know there will be more men to block and silence, so that people will not know the ugly truth between the Trump Organization, Trump Campaign and Russian interference. Which is evident, as the meetings, documentation and the help that is going-on until this day.

And it is not easy to escape anymore as the net is circling around the White House. With the plea deal made with Michael Flynn. The indictments of former Campaign Manager Paul Manafort and aide Richard Gates. Together with the George Papadopoulos a former campaign aide who has also told his stories to investigation. For whatever bread-crumbs these gentlemen are leaving behind, as well as the interviews and subpoena’s that the Grand Jury is delivered can clearly indict more people inside the White House. This sort of allegations and also counts who has been charged with is damning. It isn’t a civil suit, it is serious tampering of the state as agents of a foreign power. That is not something that should be taken lightly.

Therefore, that the Trump Administration isn’t answering or adding any sanctions to the Russians after 180 days, only delivering a kitty cat report of possible subjects and close aides of Putin. Shows that Trump is afraid of the consequences of adding on the already Russian sanctions made by the Obama Administration. This after all intelligence organizations are saying that the Russian did interfere and no question of a doubt. It’s like the Trump administration thinks people are stupid and ignorant. Many are because they are looking at Fox News, believing what nonsense they are saying as truth.

That is why President Trump and Tillerson is off the chain, showing more loyalty to Kremlin, than to Congress. They are showing more solidarity with Russians, than with Americans. They are actually pushing for less interference from the Americans towards Russians. It is backwards…

I still wonder, what “bilateral priorities” did Tillerson have in mind? Are they what we think they are or is it something else. Since it isn’t like people in Detroit are lining up to Russian motorcars or power-tools! How often has you seen Lada on the streets of New York? That is what you should wonder about. Because this doesn’t make slightest sense, as all of the clues that isn’t connected yet, but hopefully pieced together by Mueller. So he can report with evidence and transactions done between Trump and Russians. Peace.

RDC – Sud Kivu: “Objet: Denonciation de l’irresponsabilite politique de Monsieur Justin Bitawira” (29.01.2018)

At least one other peacekeeper was wounded in the attack.

The Secretary-General extends his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and to the people and government of Pakistan. He wishes a speedy recovery to the injured and calls on those responsible for this attack to be brought to justice.

The Secretary-General reiterates his call on armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to lay down their arms and seek to resolve their grievances peacefully.

RDC: Comite Laic De Coordination (CLC) – Communique (27.01.2018)

Opinion: President Kabila uses the argument of financial restraint to postpone the elections; Any tricks to stay I assume!

There was scheduled Presidential Elections in November 2016, as the end of the second official term of President Joseph Kabila would end on the 19th December 2016. However, we are in January 2018 and days away from February 2018. Still, there are no credible movement or changes within the leadership or the government to prepare for a genuine exercise of a new election. It’s unlikely that CENI will deliver, not matter sort of international pressure. That is proven by the first Press Conference in ages or years from the President himself who said this:

“The election budget is 1.2 billion dollars, and I say it quite often, the elections in this country are starting to cost us a lot more than even the development of the country. And at some point we will have to make a choice, will it be necessary to be cited around the world as the most democratic country, or is the development that counts?” he said” (…) “Today, we are nearing the end of enlistment operations in Kasai. We are more or less 46 million voters enlisted. The elections in this country is a vast operation,” said Joseph Kabila” (…) ““We must take the most courageous options and decisions not to fall or fall back into the situation with a budget of 1.2 billion for elections, while we have a total budget of 6 or 7 billions,” added the Congolese president” (Xuequan, 2018).

What is striking that he is using the defense of budget and funds. While his own Republic who had scheduled this ever since he won in November 2011. Could have planned funds ahead for a coming election. If they are a serious government and if it is such a big operations, why did the Kabila government plan it earlier?

A thing that the President should be careful about, is that United Kingdom has already spent funds on Electoral Operations and Electoral Organizations in the years ahead of the 2016 and still supports it with funding. This they do together with United States Aid (USAID). The Development tracker proves that the UK has already donated £6,6m in April 2015 to technical support to the National Electoral Body (CENI), from the same donors £3,5m in April 2015 to civic education, also in April 2015 gotten £2,5m to Election Observers through the Carter Center. In October 2016, the UK donated to promote woman participation in the Election a total of £1m. The DFID has already also pledged for supporting the Electoral Process in total £14,5m. This is just from one Nation to another. That is funds that is already spent and misused. While he is crying foul.

President Kabila should be careful playing with fire, especially since he is creating insecurity with his position. That someone is speaking of delaying election into April 2019. There was already rumored in August 2017 that it would either be in 2019 or 2020. So it is not to far off, after the new timeline was released in November 2017. That was a year after the term ended. Still, there was no international outcry, neither was anyone really supporting the CENCO initiative or trying to force Kabila out.

Kabila has been allowed to stall for time, to buy time and awaiting his next move. Since he didn’t change the Constitution like many other clinging to power Presidents. That was one of his foolish moves, since he really doesn’t want to step and give way for a legitimate President in the Republic. His term already ended 434 days ago or 1 year two months and 8 days ago.

So the saga continues and the postponed election will continue. If it is insecurity or lacking of funds continue. He will use that for his own gain, as reasons not to step down. That if there is coming militias or militants from Burundi, Rwanda or Uganda. While refugees are fleeing from the Republic to Uganda and Angola. Because of the insecurity in North and South Kivu’s, also in Kasai Province. This has not let go.

So I don’t expect any election in 2019 or following the timeline of November 2017. The CENI or Kabila administration has no plan to achieve a new Presidential Election, where Kabila has to step-down. I don’t expect a President who has already registered himself twice for the elections. That he uses expenses and that its a big operation as an excuse. Shows that since he first talked about it now, that he wants to make sure the world knows he is struggling. Even if he could have planned it together with CENI all through 2014 to 2016. Where the timeline could have been met and also fixed the succession. However, President Kabila had no interest of securing his own self leaving power. Therefore, nothing has happen.

Now he has extended his time and showed up in public for a press conference after using brutality and killing demonstrators. Had to show the world he cared and was working on solution. Even if he isn’t, it’s hard to believe he is doing anything when he is already 1 year and 2 months over his ended term. So the ones who has supported the DRC with financial aid between 2015 to 2017 for purpose of Elections, you have been tricked and given money for nothing. That is proven.

Kabila is stalling and using all tricks in the book. Expect Kabila to have more trouble with militias and insecurity, as he is the only key to stop the violence. Even if he initially sponsor it or has connections to the ones who make sure it happens. That is what is very ill about the whole situation. Peace.

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (22.01.2018)

NEW YORK, United States of America, January 22, 2018 – The Secretary-General is disturbed by reports of the killing on Sunday of at least six people during protests calling for the full implementation of the 31 December 2016 political agreement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
