Obama Administration Issues Sanctions Against Russia, Removes 35 DiplomatsBy Derrick Broze In the latest drama between the United States and Russia, President Barack Obama has announced an amendment to a previous executive order designed to target foreign entities who attempt to interfere with the electoral process. Obama also ordered the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats, sanctions against Russian intelligence officials, and the closing of two Russian intelligence facilities in New York and Maryland. In response to allegations that Russia was responsible for the hacking of the Democratic National Convention, Obamaapproved an amendment toExecutive Order 13964. Originally issued in April 2015, theexecutive order created a new authority responsible with helping the U.S. deal with significant cyber threats. However, the new changes ordered by Obama authorize the U.S. government to sanctionthose who attempt to interfere with the U.S. elections. Russias recent activities has made clear that a tool explicitly targeting attempts to interfere with elections is also warranted, reads the White House statement. In the same statement, The White Housediscusses harassment of U.S. diplomats in Russia. The Obama Administration accuses Russian security and police of significantly increasing the harassment of diplomatic personnel. In response to the apparent abuse, Obama issued an order calling for the expulsion of 35 Russian officials. Today the State Department declared 35 Russian government officials from the Russian Embassy in Washington and the Russian Consulate in San Francisco persona non grata. They were acting in a manner inconsistent with their diplomatic status. Those individuals and their families were given 72 hours to leave the United States. Russian officials will also be denied access to two compounds in Maryland and New York beginning at noon on Friday, according to Reuters. The Russian foreign ministry told Reuters the sanctions were counter-productive. Although the U.S. claims the removal of 35 Russian diplomats is unrelated to the hacking accusations, the timing may indicate that the actions are simply another facet of the U.S. and Russian proxy war.In addition to removing the diplomats, President Obama sanctioned two Russian intelligence agencies, as well as four intelligenceofficers, and three companiessuspected of providing support the intelligence agencies. Also on Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a new reportinvestigatingthe hacking of the DNC. The Joint Analysis Report (JAR) details alleged evidence of Russian civilian and military intelligencehacking. Thejoint reportattempts to strengthen claims against the Russian government regarding the hacking of the DNC and attempted manipulation of the U.S. election. This activity by Russian intelligence services is part of a decade-long campaign of cyber-enabled operations directed at the U.S. Government and its citizens, a statement reads. These cyber operations have included spearphishing, campaigns targeting government organizations, critical infrastructure, think tanks, universities, political organizations, and corporations; theft of information from these organizations; and the recent public release of some of this stolen information. The 13-page report looks atthe tools used by Russian intelligence services for compromising and exploiting the election. According to the report, the Russian hacking campaign is known as Grizzly Steppe involving theFederal Security Service (FSB) and the group known asAPT29.The GRU, Russias military intelligence service, and a second group known as APT28 are accused of leaking the now infamous Podesta emails. The DHS and FBI report mirrorsprevious reports from government agencies and private institutions which claim that Russia is behind the cybersecurity breach. One of these reports came on June 14 from cybersecurity company Crowdstrike. The company was hired by the DNC to identify the culprits responsible for the hacking. Still, WikiLeaks poked fun at the new report, claiming that it was lacking in evidence. 1) Doesnt mention WikiLeaks WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) December 29, 2016 Despite thelack of strong evidence tying Russia to the hacking of the DNC, U.S. agencies and private contractors continue to expect the American public to accept their claims without hard evidence. When the political leaders and media pundits are eagerly pushing for conflict it is wise to proceed with caution, at least until proof of hacking has clearly been established. The American public is being asked to trust the same establishment that has a long record of deception. Remain skeptical, friends. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

Maybe you should read it rather go down this conspiracy crap. Just push the nuke button Boobus Americanus Bob? They released a paper on it, huh Bob? Putin replied with a pic of a duck with LAME imprinted! Lol What is more important is the content of those leaked emails. The treason being committed by people in our own government is reprehensible and criminal. Amen. For me its a binary argument. The info is either true or it isnt. I dont give 1/4 of a rats a where it came from. Thats very true, Cypher, thats an essential operating principle for gathering information as we are forced to continuously sort the wheat from the chaff regardless of where be began our Journey for Truth and Freedom. Something to consider is TPTB know those of us who are awake and engaged only have so much time and energy to focus our efforts on effective resistance. Certain kinds of cointelpro reporting are designed to act as lightning rods to run out the clock. That would be only one motive in Black Ops leaks from the top of the Pyramid Cap. Division and weakening the publics faith in representative government to pave the road for authoritarian technocracy are two others. Consider the timing this month of TIME magazine promoting a pro-Technocracy book with a top goal of dismantling of the Electoral College the same top goal by the TPTB who launched the Technocracy political movement in 1930s. Problem, reaction, solution. Just saying we need to work together to help each other stay on top of the steep curve deciphering TPTBs psy ops. Big pic synthesis before they attempt to pull the rug out from under us and shut down open communication. The content IS the ONLY salient point all the wagging the tail to distract us is falling on deaf ears Im afraid. America woke up and pushed back. NOW we all better protect that second amendment By creating twilight zone sanctions on the innocent, the lies by the fake victims seem to be authentic, otherwise why would one go trough the trouble of creating the sanctions in the first place, one may wonder. Still people of sound mind would need to examine evidence. However, as in 9-11, counter government overwhelming evidence is worthless to the feeble minded and to those with delusion beliefs, and so many go to their graves never willing to understand the truth. Obama is nothing but lies. The producers of disinformation and misinformation and propaganda succeed as long as the public is left so confused and devoid of facts that there is no authentic evidence to learn. More abject failure from the administration that specialized and even reveled in it. Thats YOUR legacy Obama. And January 20th cant get here fast enough You all know they are fomenting political unrest between Russia and the US when in fact were allied with them, right? You know that all UN nations have one goal in mind, and theyre all working together toward that goal, right? And you all know what that goal is, right? One world government, religion, finance, culture, language, and absolute physical and temporal domination. Why is that so hard for so many of you to see when they practically advertise it now? As soon as we started calling their collective bluff on their FAKE news like the FAKE tension between Russia and the US what did they do? They started another FAKE war against FAKE news! Come on, wake up and smell the garbage! This propaganda needs to be outed for the bullshittery (pardon) it is, and Im not talking about this article, author, its not your fault. Im talking everywhere we see these fake stories pop up about all these nations pretending to be at odds with each other. Its all acting, folks, all of it and we cant go on allowing them to LIE to us like this anymore. Putin and the US and all UN nations are freemasonic buddies working for the same goal and its enough to make my hair hurt when I watch everyone taking sides against one another as if the numerous sides of this swollen, psychopathic head called the NWO arent really just one. Just another gay Piss Ant line in the sand and Putin made him look totally irrelevant, blew him off wished him a Happy New year . Translation? Ill wait until a real President shows up. NO One respects this little pissy gay guy You are being played and distracted from the creation of a global gulag. Putin is implementing the NWO final UN 2030 paradigm. Look it up! In recent news not reported anywhere in the alt media or MSM, Russia is combining the forces of a company using blockchain technology (think cashless payments) with the GLOBAL smart grid build out. Deep global integration of energy and multinational integration = 2030 Agenda. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/qiwi-blockchain-crimea-energy-project/ The transfer of CLASSIFIED US military technology to Russias Skolkovo Foundation was done under Obamas reign at the behest of Hillarys State Department. This was not an accident. Its an admitted project of the Trilateral Commission. I am well aware of all you posted however OBAMA is a weak puppet and Putin like him or not[I dont] made him look like an idiot with the wave of his hand.he IS way more cunning than Obama and the chess game right now shows Putin ahead. TPTB are intent on making the US appear feckless and corrupt to the rest of the world as they work behind the scenes to transfer US hegemony to their totalitarian world government system which most certainly is interlocking ALL nation states. Ive gathered incontrovertible evidence that Russias elites are working hand-in-hand with the Rothschild cabal to implement the NWO paradigm. The chess game meme you speak of is an intelligence psychological operation. You are placing your faith in a reporting system that has been telling you Assange / Wikileaks is on our side, yet Assange has been openly hostile to 9/11 Truth. This same reporting system favorably reported Gen Clarks son went to Standing Rock though they never pointed out last year Clark promoted the idea of placing Americans who criticize government policy in internment camps or the that Clark is a close friend of the Clintons and was directly involved in the Waco massacre! No context is given. Only half a picture. Putin has a close friendship with Kissinger from way back when he was an up and coming KGB/FSB agent. Theres a reason for this. Weve been bamboozled for generations. And OBAMA and his efforts for a World citizenry is patently obvious to me. I hope Trump cuts the UN cord and not get killed for doing so I couldnt agree with you more, Deborah G, its a nightmare. While Im highly suspicious Trump has been either duped or controlled / contained somehow, whatever his true intentions are, I hope Im wrong in my assessment that he is being used to forge a Hegelian synthesis and unable to help us. If I am right though, then we dont have any time to waste to get busy ourselves, activate as many people as we can, and move away from the control grid. As you know, once its in place, the mark of the digital slavery beast can instantaneously lock us out of society with the tapping of a few keys. No time to lose and in the process well be strengthening Trumps anti-NWO intentions if thats what hes about. I hope he exposes the climate change meme as a tool for UN 2030 global domination if he doesnt, we have to. Thanks and great to know youre fighting the good fight too. In God we TRUST and in the meantime Trump Please consider taking a close look at Patrick Woods website Technocracy.news, hes a devout Christian who has been working to expose the NWO for decades. As a much younger man he worked side by side with the late great Professor Antony Sutton to write Trilaterals Over Washington. There are some great Sutton interviews on YT, done by the recently passed Dr. Stanley Monteith, another dedicated and devout man, equally brilliant. Ya know, theres a long legacy of courageous patriots sacrificing much to expose the NWO. I stay away from Catholics these days I think they are up to their eyeballs in this NWO drive Wood isnt a Catholic if thats your concern. Absolutely, the Vatican has always had a big hand in the NWO. I have to laugh that the Pope said he would baptize aliens when they arrive all part of that NWO New Age religion psy op in the pipeline since before most of us were born. Goes way back to Aldous Huxley and the Fabian Socialists. I dont kid myself in that Trump is very wealthy and probably has ties to several of the NWO bunch in some fashion even if they simply live in one of his Condos.the Rothschilds had a compound near where I grew up. We used to ride our horses through their vineyard. Never ever saw one of them. The few people we saw were French and didnt speak English.No one in the entire area knew one of them or anything about them. Interesting and great youre into horses, some of my closest friends are horse lovers. Yeah, the Roths seem to exist on another plane. P.S. Deborah G, Can you consider Obama vs. Putin is another version of Demo-rat DINOs vs. Repub RINOs same Kabuki theater? Doesnt make sense TPTB groomed Lenin Stalin for a Communist takeover of Russia and continued supporting the USSR at least through the Nixon administration (with Sec of State Kissingers conspiring) only to pack up their tent a walk away as they became ever more powerful through their international banking tentacles. I can provide links proving Russia is being transformed under UN 2030. I absolutely know of this and agree with you 150%! Thanks! The reason everyone is so hostile to trump is that he ISNT NWO! My concern or impression is the hostility to Trump is part of a script to keep us distracted and in the game. Most certainly, the Establishment is VERY hostile to those of us fighting the NWO takeover. The scary thing is I research five layers information every week closely following the big international money flows and harmonization of laws (with and without the involvement of treaties) and I see this new ugly UN globalist paradigm quickly coming together and tightly interlocking behind the geopolitical curtain. I believe thats why TPTB are becoming extremely brazen and eager to use their black ops intelligence assets to leak damaging information to make us all lose heart in our nation and faith in representative government. No offense but smart people HAD lost faith, until our election of Trump Hope you are aware of the possibility it already looks like Trump is being used to promote globalization of international business deals as being sources of new jobs for Americans when the reality is it will serve the economic interdependence, a cornerstone of the NWO. Another thing to keep your eyes on is something Trump said in his campaign about the need to find ways to give young people new ways to boost their credit scores. A HUGE part of the roll out of global Technocracy is the gradual introduction of Social Credit Scores, China-style. Everything an individual does, purchases, where they go, what they read, their stated opinions, etc., tabulated for extreme Skinner Box Pavlovian conditioning large scale social engineering. Already, the CEO of FICO is working on this new paradigm and publicly stating what people post on social media is a legitimate way to measure their credit score. FICO has been developing a new scoring system to this end. The current and past CEO of FICO have long standing connections to Globalist run institutions such as IBM, General Electric, and Citibank. I know Chase recently started hammering me online to send them my annual income under the guise of a possible credit increase and score. I saw right through that called them and told them it is NONE of their business and to stop harassing me.. They acted like my card was in Jeopardy if I didnt. I told them they could have it if they wanted it . I have excellent credit dont need them Wow, thats aggressive hinting theyll take your card. Im hounded with a pop up asking me that question every time I go online to pay my Citicard statement in full each month, never ever late, always great credit. Chase Citicards : thats banking with Rothschild, Morgan, and Rockefeller institutions so no surprise what theyre up to. Now Im remembering how invasive some of the new US Census questionnaires are. I refuse to play their games. That is one reason nOT to have a smart phone. tracking is way to easy and they claim it is for personal safety. LOLI have a dumb phone Yep, me too. Though, were in a shrinking minority. Astounding to see people glued to their phones driving, walking, riding bikes. Dont you want to tap dance in front of them? lol I was out riding the other week and one of those vapid lib women actually jogged right into my horse! Earphones on texting away. Lucky my horse didnt kick her teeth in LOL Yes, no values, no morals, no sense of decency but gotta worry about that credit score that measures matrix compliance. Phew, speaking of social media, this just showed up in my news feed Playing the script and / or intel subliminal synthesis (anti-globalists should love the globalists make nice)? Its already in the tea leaves, Hanz. At the moment my head is in Pyras stigmergy threadsimilar concept to others Ive come across, echoed in your nice response to her. Im reviewing left wing market capitalism on Wikipedia for historical context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_market_anarchism I imagine you know the details well. Off topic, Eddy shared this with me a little while ago. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/california-democrats-legalize-child-prostitution/article/2610540?custom_click=rss Yeah, I think the root problem lies in our dehumanized nature as individuals into an unbounded and shattered postmodernist diaspora of sorts. Principia Discordia en masse, chaos that cannot be tamed without the individuals transformation into higher consciousness. I thought that tweet from Trump was the perfect example of the kind of perfected black magick (frequencies of thought control) that rips through the matrix destroying any hope of evolution in the collective psyche and with perfect ease and demand. Kind of like the original War of the World psyop of discordia without the same limitations. If youre reading for historical context here is a good piece on Lewis Mumford that touches on root constructs in this forlorned area of economics. Lewis Mumfords Green City chaos that cannot be tamed without the individuals transformation into higher consciousness Thats it exactly, Hanz. Well said and insightful take on the tweet as mind control. Thank you for the link. Best wishes for the new year. Heres to as much peaceful tranquility and good cheer as we can muster in our awakened states. Catch you later. Viel Glck, Gesundheit und Erfolg im neuen Jahr! The Glucksschwein! Cool, luv it! Thanks, J. Sanctioning without hard, verifiable evidence of wrongdoing is a foolish and dangerous thing to do! The Russians should sanction back and throw 35 American diplomats out of Russia. this was far more a slap in your face little man than retaliation. Putin just told the world and Obama he is irrelevant. NWO or not he looked ridiculous in a little gay snit with zero hard fact much research on this and what seemed to be the origin of the source was washington dc not russia..putin is not a globalist and has benn targeted by the elite for rejecting their agenda. Of course, obama and hillary are both globalist as was the bushs. It was considered a leak not a hack and before assange was wisked off in the middle of the night Oct 16 he said that the info released did not originate from russia. wikileaks has a 100 percent accuracy. pray for assange Good grief, Assange is extremely hostile to the 9/11 Truth movement. Wikileaks = CIA. Thank you , Mr President! Now lets see Mr. Trump cozy up to the Russians with anti-Russian AZ Senator J. McCain standing by to encourage even harsher reprisals. Your comments indicate a steady diet of MSM with little (or no) non-mainstream sources of information to support the formation of an objective opinion of your own. And dont forget Lieberman! Instances of the United States overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War. (* indicates successful ouster of a government) Well Done!!! And, it should be noted that many innocent people were the victims of these despicable acts of sedition and treachery. Hypocrisy just never ends. Look just how many have died in all these BS wars since JFK was greased. The Gulf of Tonkin, Pizza face and Panama, Soddom Insane 1 2. Tim Osman and Al-CIA-duh and Afghanistan, Mommar and Libya, Assad and Syria, w/Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), this is just a drop in the bucket. The list above is for the most part the work of Economic Hit Men. The Banks, CIA, NSA, FBI, Military Industrial Complex,The Fed, Economic Hit Men,and others were going to loose there powers and influences. Then theres all the false flags in America, Orlando, Boston, Sandy Hook, Milwaukee, Aurora, 9/11, Twin Towers Bombing, OKC, Waco, Ruby Ridge.. I thought there could never be a worse AG then Alice the Goon (Reno). I guess never say never. Whats the end game? Now you are getting there. Thats the right question. Thanks for the lively discussion, everyone. I believe the end game is to turn earth into Mars, in the sense of total plunder of all resources, organic and inorganic. There is a theory that has unfortunately been attached to the flat earth theory (for the purpose of piggybacking on the popularity of FE as a top You Tube search) but it has nothing to do with FE. The theory is that the earth has been an ET mining colony for hundreds of thousands of years. Not only mining of the traditional things like ore and oil, but also organic genetics, human bioenergy, water, oxygenyou name it. Suck earth dry of every available resource and you get - Mars, or at least NASAs version of it. Time is only a third dimensional construct, so the end comes when earth is completely harvested and dead. The real question, in my mind, is Will humanity let it happen? See Janus, hopefully sometime soon we can compare notes on the endgame, trenchant prosecutorial lenses into base tendencies, and a neuroscience lens into interference in the optimal development of a healthy prefrontal cortex. In the meantime, wishing you and yours all the best in the new year. Cheers! Blue Sorry for the tangential insertion of a news item Eddy just shared with me. Very concerning and somewhat related to our recent discussions of child exploitation and abuse. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/california-democrats-legalize-child-prostitution/article/2610540?custom_click=rss Something to consider, Janus, if one goes back further to deeper inflection points of the expansive grip of global elite control from the City of London and beyond, we can also point to the 1913 Fed Reserve coup and, before that, the battles in the US with central banksters going back to the 1800s; the Pyramid cap instigating the America Civil war resulting in the death of ~800,000 soldiers and a wake of widespread death and destruction in a nation of 30 million. The globalist pathocracy mindset over the centuries plotting how to weaken populations, eliminate healthy strong young males by the millions, hundreds of millions via the world wars and large scale democide by Stalin and Mao; conquest of the Empires, Pharoahs, and warlords. Its a human disease, not only Americanhence, the spotlight should be wide enough to expose and disinfect patterns of human behavior, rather than laying psychological ground for another iteration on a much grander scale hiding behind a new simulacrum. I do like your choice of words. And, wasnt it you who paused when I mentioned the bloodlust on the table. Yes, as you gain more understanding of past events, this will give you the insights needed to expose the new iteration. I will point out, however, that there are few more powerful emotional contexts than legitimate murder/war. In a world of passive zombies, can you see the attraction? You mean they are given a sense of purpose? If so, I would argue that is the hidden or largely unspoken Achilles heel of humanity. Once again, you are a master of words. Motive is all essential. History informs us. What evidence do we have over the thousands of years of history accessible to us that people have been motivated to take/seize what belongs to others, to expand into the territory of others and harm and enslave the inhabitants thereof, to perceive slights as a justification for wars meant to kill, destroy, enslave and take? How can such violence by justified by the belief that the victors are better, stronger and thus more deserving of what belonged to others? Can a powerful country ever justify the kind of interference in the lives and governments of other countries that has been practiced before and after the Monroe Doctrine? Was trade a step up in consciousness supporting mutuality and a respect for others? Did philosophical movements embracing kindness ever make much of a dent, and if not, why not? By the reign of the Pharaoh Akhenaton/Ikhnaton, he and his father before him convinced at least 4 other contemporary Great Kings to make some social changes including a day of rest (Sabbath), the cessation of torture and public whippings/ executions, food banks, adequate compensation to workers and other simple rules, later codified into the 10 Commandments. The Golden Rule was known and respected. So, yes,the propensity for and existence of institutionalized violence appears to be the unspoken Achilles heel of humanity, and we see small and large examples of it everywhere. When I first heard of the 35 expulsions of Russian diplomats yesterday , my first thought was ,I wonder how Russia will respond. Im not paranoid I KNOW they are out to get us LOL Thanks for the link, I didnt see the mention of a depopulation figure. Its a MIC website, their profits and very raison detre is to control the plebs, a wipe out would be not in their best interests. lol Sorry if I missed the connection. But, yeah, with geoengineering bioweapons experimentation underway, for sure, something wicked this way comes. Once Technocracy is in full swing it could be done globally in a very orderly and sanitized manner. Whats with all the Robots and the robosexuals (no kidding, this week it was reported a woman in France is in love with her robot and wants to marry it). China is turning over its manufacturing to robots and a few months ago Chinese officials announced by 2020 they will be moving 100 million small farmers off their land and into the giant ghost cities. Forced sterilization cant be that far behind. i do not think Russia is responsible for the dnc hacking nor the leaks. And. if they did- i dont give a f*ck. In fact, maybe we should give them a medal; because the CONTENT of the hacks is what counts; and the contents simply told us the truth about wtf is happening. What should be reported and what we as US citizens should be concerned about is the message, instead of blaming/killing the messenger.
