Old Dog Old Tricks

The BBC is up to its old tricks of splashing a big accusatory headline that states ‘as fact’ that something has happened when there is absolutely no proof that it did…but the target of the piece is ‘deplorable’ so facts just get in the way of justice don’t they?….

Email ‘linked Kremlin to Trump son meeting’ – New York Times

Trouble with that headline?  It’s just not true…there’s absolutely no evidence of a link between ‘Trump son’ and the Kremlin.  No evidence that the email makes any mention of any Kremlin connection, the man who contacted ‘Trump son’ didn’t know the source of his information and it is likely to have come through various ‘others’ before getting to him…all of which the New York Times [rabidly anti-Trump along with the Washington Post] eventually admits as does the BBC.

And where is the email?  The NYT tells us that it is reporting what three people who say they have seen the email have said…but no  email, not even a direct quote from the email.  Remember how Comey’s infamous memo about Trump suddenly disappeared…Comey himself having destroyed his own copies…why would he do that when it was clearly such an important, crucial, document for his claims?  Is this yet another NYT/WaPo fabrication built on whispers and lies from the dread ‘Deep State’?

Here’s the Times’ nonsense…

Donald Trump Jr. was informed in an email that the material was part of a Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy, according to three people with knowledge of the email.

So  it was all part of a Russian government conspiracy…or was it?  The NYT muddies the water…and why ‘three sources’?  Trying to make out it is credible?….and was it part of a Russian campaign or not part of a Russian campaign?….

Mr. Goldstone’s message, as described to The New York Times by the three people, indicates that the Russian government was the source of the potentially damaging information. It does not elaborate on the wider effort by Moscow to help the Trump campaign.

So…the Russian government was the source but no indication part of a Russian government campaign?  How can the email indicate the Russian government was the source when the NYT then admits….

It is unclear whether Mr. Goldstone had direct knowledge of the origin of the damaging material. One person who was briefed on the emails said it appeared that he was passing along information that had been passed through several others.

So the NYT doesn’t know if the email sender, Goldstone, knew Russia may have been the source…and yet they say earlier it definitely was indicated to be the source.

As with all other ‘sourced’ material the NYT and WaPo never provide links to the original material…they haven’t even quoted the email here.

Much like all these leaks the sources are dodgy with vested interests in spreading anti-Trump misinformation…good of the BBC to help out….as usual.

And just who are the NYT’s sources?  Looks like it was leaked by Comey’s pals in the intelligence services…

Two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican presidential nomination last year, his eldest son arranged a meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan with a Russian lawyer who has connections to the Kremlin, according to confidential government records described to The New York Times.

So not only are the intelligence services acting against the President but this shows that when Trump said they had been spying on him he was correct despite all the mockery and dismissive claims that he was paranoid and deluded….of course we know that Obama loosened the rules on who could see intelligence and what they could report….part of his campaign to undermine the Trump campaign by allowing intelligence information gathered for one purpose to be used by politicians for another, ie to attack Trump.

Curious how ‘Trump son’ is accused of collaborating with the Russians for having met a ‘Russian national’ who said they had information on Clinton…why would he not meet with them?  The BBC had no qualms about our dodgy MI6 officer meeting supposedly ex Russian intelligence officers to get information on Trump for the Clinton campaign.

Claims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent. As a member of MI6, he had been posted to the UK’s embassy in Moscow and now runs a consultancy giving advice on doing business in Russia. He spoke to a number of his old contacts in the FSB, the successor to the KGB, paying some of them for information.

How on earth can anyone take seriously information fed to them by Russian intelligence…lol.

Interesting….the Russian who met ‘Trump son’ employs the private investigation firm that cobbled together that dodgy dossier...hmmm…any chance that the meeting with ‘Trump son’ was set up precisely to try and associate ‘Trump son’ with the Russians and hence provide headlines that Trump was helped by the Russians? [Corallo is a spokeman for the President’s lawyer and Ms. Veselnitskaya is the Russian contact]

In an interview, Mr. Corallo explained that Ms. Veselnitskaya, in her anti-Magnitsky campaign, employs a private investigator whose firm, Fusion GPS, produced an intelligence dossier that contained unproven allegations against the president. In a statement, the firm said, “Fusion GPS learned about this meeting from news reports and had no prior knowledge of it. Any claim that Fusion GPS arranged or facilitated this meeting in any way is false.”

    After the President’s Polish speech the elites are panicking. Here and in the USA as they face a President who is going to speak directly to us and not via them again.
    So anyway they can they will try to destroy him. It seems so degenerate are they that anyone who stands up to defend our countries and our way of life is to be taken down. Who are these people that dare to do this to our nations?
    They are our sworn enemies now and amongst them and corrupting all it touches is the BBC led progressive media.
    Time to take sides.

      Don’t worry, these are clearly desperate actions from the establishment. They have no idea how to stop Trump so they’re just regurgitating libellous conjecture that has already failed. Madness is repeating the same thing and expecting different results, and liberalism is a form of psychosis. They have no weapons other than their attack dogs in Antifa.

    The BBC does like its news… From sources… to be at least one degree of separation away.

    To be fair they were ridiculously biased against Regan and Bush, and ridiculously biased in favour of Clinton and Obama, so nothing has changed, except maybe that people are sick of their fake news. If you told Americans that we are forced to pay our Leftist bullshit (or be sent to prison) they would be amazed.

    One “old dog” I doubt we will ever see on the BBC again, is Guy Gibson’s black Labrador from
    the film the Dam Busters.. Please don’t watch a clip on You Tube if certain names upset you.

      It seems that in America the name was dubbed to become “Trigger”. There is no truth in the false news that confused audiences often leave cinemas asking where the bloody horse was and complaining that they must have cut the scene in the film where Roy Rogers sang his songs.

      I believe a more recent remake of the film the dog in now called “Digger”. I can’t wait to see what they will contort the dog’s name into if the Australians complain they find that name insulting and demand it be changed to assuage their hurt feelings but I suspect the Aussies don’t suffer the same pathetic invented oversensitivity of certain other groups of people.

    It appears the story originated from the same organisation which fed the NYT the fake story about Trump, prostitutes and activities in Russian hotel rooms. You know the one, it was the story the NYT, CNN, the bBBC and other similar news organisations swallowed whole and regurgitated with great enthusiasm only to have the whole stinking mess blow straight back into their faces.

    One thing that the NYT, the bBBC and others carefully ignore is that the Russian lawyer was trying to sell the story that Billary’s campaign was being funded by the Russians but the claims were so vague that they were completely ignored by Trump’s son but that doesn’t serve their propaganda efforts.

    Oh, and the organisation which created both the above stories are apparently massive financial supporters of the Clinton’s so called Charity.

    Reprise of the old Private Eye cartoon where an old dear asks a chum, “And who is this Connie Lingus we keep hearing about”?
    (Pre Hislop, he’d still be at school, so therefore the cartoon is funny).

    Answer: – Faye Q’news, a new name on the bloc, seriously groomed by the bbbc as the farting man’s antidote to Quatti Quai…

    Another poster sometimes seen on less important sites such as bBBC, is Faq D’fano, and yet another is Stan Stereason.

    These are both names dreamed up by an able-tinctured Scrobs in his hour of need, and I claim my five splonders.

    Oh for the days when a journalist hung around in pubs, got pissed, wore a hat with a card saying ‘Press’ in his hat band, and wrote from the heart, not from his arse…

      Toady al beeb watch

      I like the way the al beeb editorial script works noticeably more often now e.g.

      “Diane Abbot is the most trusted politician in parliament “—- a report says. It allow the al beeb lefties to attack/support their target without direct support for it . I know it’s an gutter journo method it it’s so frequent it hurts.
