The Great American War Machine

Old Knudsen tries not to watch war movies cos he doesn't want flashbacks to Hamburger Hill ... the movie, not the battle, it was shite! 

I wanted some Netflix and chill so I typed 'watch free online' cos who the fuck pays for Netflix? but I was all out of chill so I watched the latest Brad Pitt movie War Machine with pirated Netflix and luke warm.  

Fuck yer FBI warning and yes I would steal a car so obviously I'll steal a movie. The money I've spent to be disappointed by Hollywood over the years I've finally caught on.     

The film starts with the great line, "Men are imperfect creatures, left to their own devices, all they really wanna do is play with their dicks and eat chicken."

The movie was loosely based around the firing of General Stanley McChrystal. If you recall he sort of resigned/fired because for some reason he did a Rolling Stone interview while in charge of the Afghanistan war and was pretty free with his words. 

He had to apologize to the then President Obama and VP Biden for smack talking about them. I'm surprised that Trump hasn't offered him a job. If Obama fired him then he must be good. 

General Pulver in the movie was loosely based on General Michael Flynn. A not too talented angry person that rode on McChrystal's or rather Pitt's character General Glen McMahon's coattails. 

This movie was based on the book The operators by Michael Hastings who was the actual Rolling Stone reporter that covered McChrystal. 

Ben Kingsley was born to play Hamid Karzai

Hamid Karzai the President of Afghanistan is shown as a figure of fun. This guy who is propped up by the West to lead Afghanistan had to give permission for a military raid but he knew that he didn't really have a say in it. He was hard to get a hold of so Brad Pitt's character McMahon told him to behave like a leader, he replied he was, he was being unavailable just like President Obama.  

Meg Tilly came out of retirement to act as McMahon's wife.That woman has always had a direct line to Old Knudsen's boner and seeing her older didn't matter. 

The one that got away

While the movie had some funny parts it also had a message. All that the US is doing is creating more enemies. McMahon said if you have 10 insurgents and you kill 2, how many do you have left? The answer is 20 cos those two killed had friends and family on the cusp of taking up arms and when you kill the 2 they had their minds made up for them. 

The figure is that for every civilian killed by the west 40 new insurgents are created. The movie saw a young boy killed by a grenade that was targeting insurgents on the roof of his house. The boy's father was given a couple of thousand dollars and told sorry. McMahon could clearly see the hate in the eyes of the young brother of the dead boy, another enemy created. 

You can't win the hearts and minds of the people when you are killing them. Afghanistan can partially be won but it can never be held. Alexander the Great, the British, the Soviets, history has been there and done that and failed. 

Obama had no appetite for this war, now with General Mattis in charge and an easy to manipulate president in his pocket there are more troops being sent there but no one really cares about the place. 

They grow heroin poppies because the US doesn't let them grow cotton as that would interfere with their own product being sold... you can't fight a war tied up and your certainly can't win it like that. 

If you bring the troops home you then condemn the population to Taliban rule and insurgents will grow in strength with free reign to plan more US attacks. It's a fucked up situation.    

General Petraeus or Bob as he was called in War Machine was McMahon's replacement. Just another war loving General with a chest full of medals, same old routine. 

Petraeus resigned when a NATO helicopter killed 9 Afghan boys out getting firewood. Not a career killing event just meh ... er I mean very regrettable. He became the CIA director until an affair with the author of his biography and the mishandling of classified info made him resign from that.

Scandals come and go and the great American War Machine grinds on creating dead bodies, 65 million refugees and more enemies. America has been at war 93% of its time since its creation in 1776, it's the natural state of the cuntry.

18 Days Of The Condom

Totally not putting a listening device under the ledge of the Resolute desk

What we know from the Trump campaign investigation of Russian collusion. General Michael Flynn was allowed to come and go freely and have access to classified material without a new security clearance for 18 days.    

He had been flagged by Obama and Sally Yates as a subject that could be turned by a rival nation but Trump ignored all warnings for some reason. To *quote* Trump, "It's just National security it isn't that important, relax I've got this, he's a terrific guy."

What could Flynn have done in those 18 days of freedom? 

 Rudy Giuliani briefing Trump on cyber security

Giuliani: "with computers you have to be smart, don't click on any odd links or open any suspect e-mails for instance ones with the title 'I want to pee on you' ... an obvious malware trap. Change your password often. Don't use birth dates or titles of books that sit on your desk, they always get hacked in the movies.  I use easy to remember words that I use often in real life. Since this is a classified meeting I can tell you that my passwords are 'fuckyou123' or 'fuckyou456' I change them about all the time and if they ever got hacked the fucker would get access but also get insulted ... lol! ... fuck em ... can I have my $100,000 consultation fee now?"   

He would be in on top secret meetings like this one.  Code named The Condom because he was safe and in like Flynn fucking up America.

Get Mr Vlad a water, coffee, would you like a White Russian Mr Vlad?

Flynn would know who came to visit the White House.  He would no doubt go to the Red Room in the White House which is the secret command center. He'd leave a few USB drives around and unsuspecting people using them would be infecting the White House computers without knowing it. 

With the Kremlin in their system he might bug places where people meet. Trump has a phone scrambler in the Lincoln bedroom that disrupts words spoken to anyone eavesdropping on the calls, these would probably not be disabled as Trump doesn't make sense at the best of times anyways. 

  Trump with a totally innocent Russian nesting doll gift in the background 

Trump is in on the joke as he calls it but with spycraft no one asset ever knows the full picture so they can't give up vital information to bring down the whole operation. They all have their various jobs and often don't even know who else is in on it. Like Fight Club. Trump being told to hire Flynn without a security check no doubt gave him a clue though.

Surprise bitches! My ears were burning what are you kids talking about in here? 

As well as spying there is a psychological aspect too. For instance Trump's 80 inch wide screen TV talks to him with the voice of his long dead father. It's really a Russian putting on a voice, 'what about Sweden Donald ... terrible wasn't it?'  ... 'Comey is out to get you, fire him and it will all go away' ... 'I don't know what tweets are cos I'm your old father but you should tweet about it.'

Sean Spicer has been having 'episodes' recently. Whenever Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Conway or McMaster stand in and take a White House briefing it isn't because Spicer is off with the Navy Reserve, he's crying in a corner with a bottle of vodka. 

Spicer has been known to hide from reporters in hedges. Flynn has put devices in the hedges that say, 'Sean this is your conscience, what you are saying is lies'   ... having him say things unconvincingly is part of the plan. Nothing clues people in more than real self-doubt.

Remember, The Russians play the long game. They never just do a hit and run. Look how long Melania has been with Trump for fucks sake, she even has a child, well played that's 18 years of attachment right there unless they upgrade his wife again. 

The 10 Russian spies caught in New York in 2010 were there for years and succeeding at their tasks according to the FBI.  

So how was Flynn compromised by the Russians? 

 I hope I wasn't too rough on you last night Mikhail

Flynn was fired by Obama in 2014. In 2015 he became a semi-regular analyst on Russia Today and was paid $40,000 to attend a gala dinner in Moscow. Flynn is bitter towards how Obama treated him and how he also fired his friend General McChrystal. He needs money and his ego massaged so he was ripe to be manipulated. 

As like Trump he thinks he knows best and can handle rival governments and their plans. Others warn him but he's Michael T Fucken Flynn, he 'allegedly' leapt off a 40 foot cliff to rescue 2 US soldiers being swept out to sea off the coast of Cuba.  

 My soldiers are so loyal I can shoot random ones and they never stop singing.

Flynn thinks he's a tough guy, but he always feels like he has something to prove as he always has someone not worthy over him giving him orders. Trump also has a similar personalty but is a soft civvie coward. The validation and acceptance of tough guys like Putin is a very 'boys own' club thing, it's a tough guy macho bromance and their judgement gets clouded by it. 

The only thing Putin needs is power. He thinks only HE can rule Russia and needs no one but knows how to use underlings or remove them. While the likes of Flynn and Trump are wracked by insecurities and limited thinking, Putin's only fear is a revolution by the people but after 17 years he's got a pretty good hold on things, he sees leaders and security advisers come and go but there is always Putin ... the long game. 

 

 Complimentary White House file with every 10 visits

In the middle of a Trump/Russia collusion investigation Trump fires the main investigator then mentions how Comey said he wasn't investigating Trump. To top that off he has Russian diplomats to the White House and only lets the Russian media take photos .... Yes RT was releasing photos and the US media didn't have any ... how fucked up is that? 

Flynn would have copied files, downloaded malware and back doors into the security system. He would have given Russia the procedures and White House protocols. Being a military expert he wold have been able to find whatever weaknesses there are to exploit. 

The details of all agents and other White House personnel would be of use to the Kremlin. So many people to turn, a constant household staff of 100 people.        

Someday the White House missile system might malfunction and shoot down an airliner. Flynn would call that a Black Swan, an event impossible to predict.

  Put it there dummy ... I suppose

HR McMaster or as Trump calls him 'Plan B' is Flynn's replacement. The 3 Star General that was passed over for promotion twice in 2006 and 2007 is thought of as being one of the most celebrated soldiers of the Iraq War. Lets hope he's more intelligent than he looks. 

Yeah he did ride a horse into work on his first day .... never a good idea in any job. Doing that got me fired from my shelf stocker job at Tesco. I was really looking forward to stealing shit too. 

  Even glasses fail to make him look intelligent

Trump hasn't been too impressed by his new Yes-Man and McMaster has been seen doing White House press briefings like monkey boy Spicer and dead eyes Sarah. 

Comey was on the other side of the cuntry and heard he was fired from the TV.  McMaster is refusing to travel or look at news channels just in case. Recently his desk was moved to the basement though.

Whatever Flynn did in his 18 days of total access the question is will anyone actually try to retrace his steps or will they be too busy blaming Obama and the Media? 

  

*It's in quotation marks so does it really count as the truth?*

Trump Builds Corners In The Oval Office To Hide In

Lieutenant General Micheal T Flynn worked for Obama as the Director of the National Intelligence Agency from July 2012. On April 2014 he announced he was resigning though he mentions in his book that he was made to resign.

Often called 'brash' for his outspoken ways the man is an Islamophobe with a superiority complex that the top brass people very often have. Like a surgeon's god complex.

His disdain for the civvies in the Obama administration was what got him fired. He didn't like how they were doing things and thought he knew better. 

Flynn is a hater, he hates Muslims and will flip flop over what he believes in for pay. He was perfect for the Trump administration. If Obama fired him then obviously he must be one of the good guys going by Trump's logic. 

Obama warned Trump about Flynn, in Trump's eyes that was a glowing recommendation. 

Like 'Alternative Facts' Flynn had what his staff called 'Flynn Facts' and he didn't listen to anyone. No surprise that he was often abusive toward his staff. 

From 2014 on he had to get other jobs. He guest spoke on Fox and also Russia Today. His consulting company (run by his son) even worked for a group connected to the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey. Flynn very soon joined Team Erdoğan, Muslim or not. He had nothing but praise for him.

He has said that he thinks the US should work closely with Russia and has met Putin at an RT dinner and has had secret meetings he lied about to Mike Pence with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Did he get backhanders for Moscow trips he didn't declare on paper? It seems that he didn't declare a lot of his income and who he was getting it from.

 The T in Micnael T Flynn is for Tyrannosaurus 

The Trump admin backed Flynn to the hilt and said he had done not wrong, even just hours before he resigned. 

Just to think, Flynn was a potential hopeful for the VP job ... scary huh?

Trump is panicking. Trump even blamed Obama saying that Flynn had top level clearance from Obama so how was he supposed to know if anything was wrong? .... it was Obama! 

Top level clearance is handled by the Defense Department and they probably didn't know anything about Flynn's extracurricular activities. It's not like a list is handed to Obama and he signs whatever he is given in front of a load of cameras .... who does that?

Trump signs for two crates of Roma tomatoes that were delivered to the kitchen. 

When someone becomes a new National security adviser they are required to get NEW White House clearance, it just doesn't roll over like minutes on a phone. It's security protocol ... you just don't assume they are ok the job is too important to be slack. 

General Mattis a former 4 Star General went through rigorous vetting for the Secretary of defense job, in fact he seemed a little put out that he had to have it done. 

Flynn a mere a retired Lieutenant General who was fired from the previous admin, who had not only the former President but the former acting Attorney General Sally Yates warn Trump about didn't have any checks. 

Now why is that?  ...  The only reason I can think of is plausible deniability.

Oh the fun a foreign agent can have with 18 days in the White House. 

      Bald and not too bright looking dude took over the job

The Border Agency vets border guards more thoroughly than the Trump admin. 6 White House staffers were fired after failing FBI background checks. 

In theory everyone gets a background check as rival spy agencies will use the leverage of  blackmail on anyone at any level. They look for vices or debt to exploit and set you up further. 

Sally Yates looked at the intel and saw that Flynn was a risk and could be easily compromised by Russia. He was already not mentioning trips to Russia and not declaring expenses so she was obviously right.

If someone likes hookers, drugs, drink, gambling or have money problems ... in steps a Savior at your time of need, oh and there are a few little things you have to do for them. 

Like if a businessman dealing in realty couldn't get a loan due to a recession then a foreign bank might step in and help.  It would be perfect if that businessman went on to run for office a few years later wouldn't it?      

Will the people be happy with Flynn as a sacrifice? To quote Lee Harvey Oswald "I'm just a patsy". 

Can you blame Obama for other things that happened on Trump's watch such as secret Russian meetings with Jared Kushner, Erik Prince, Carter Page ... not even mentioning Paul Manafort? 

Hillary's campaign met with Russians .... but they didn't try to hide it or lie about it. All done in the open and declared. They didn't speak about sanctions and how things will change for Russia when they are elected.

 

Trump recently freaked out and changed his Twitter banner only to change it back hours later. Say it loud and bold enough and people will repeat it.

There is a problem though because Clapper says he didn't see any evidence of collusion because he didn't look. He was leaving his job and deferred to the FBI on those matters anyways. They were the ones running the investigation of Russian involvement.

Clapper mentioned the 'unmasking' of Flynn in intelligence reports. This isn't a devious singling out by the Obama admin as Trump would have you believe it's standard.

When say a Russian spy or diplomat is under surveillance the people they talk to if US citizens will have their name redacted in reports unless requested to be unmasked.

Sometimes if that spy is talking to a US citizen of interest like someone tipped to be the new National Security Adviser then it's important for names to be used. Why the fuck are they speaking to them?

It isn't known what hero who leaked the Flynn meetings to the press though.  

Clapper said this:

 "Russia did, without doubt and with little consequence, deploy resources and tactics to disrupt America's presidential election -- to undermine Hillary Clinton, and to help Trump's campaign."

No wonder Trump stopped using his name on his Twitter banner.

"The Russians used cyber operations against both political parties, including hacking into servers used by the Democratic National Committee and releasing stolen data to WikiLeaks and other media outlets. Russia also collected on certain Republican Party-affiliated targets, but did not release any Republican-related data."

 These aren't conspiracy rantings, these are facts. 

1. Russia influenced the US election, also others in Europe including the recent French election. They use bots and fake stories as well as hacked information.  

2. Russia used Wikileaks to release information but only against specific sides beneficial to their agenda.

3. Trump's people have numerous business and personal ties to Russia. Some contacts being personal friends of Putin and connections to state run banks.

 I love you Rex

Trump tries to distance himself from Putin by talking about US/Georgia relations as well as bombing pre-warned Syrian air fields. It all seems very contrived and half arsed.

He speaks warmly of China at every possible moment, he praises Kim jong-un and he speaks highly of  Duterte.

Any other anti-US dictators and rival nations? He never has such praise for his allies. Does Trump even like America? He seems to always have something negative to say and his praise seems very insincere.

Moving forward we still have the FBI investigation to come out. Trump is using the old tactic of attack being the best defense and has chosen now to fire FBI head James Comey.

You attack their credibility so whatever they say there will be a slight doubt. Gaslighting I believe it's called. 
Old Knudsen wondered about Comey after he worked against Clinton, it didn't make sense for him to get the goods on Trump .... and he hasn't. 

What we now need to know is who knows what, who is compromised and just how dirty is Trump?

Doesn't look like a witch hunt this looks like a fight for survival. Like those spy movies with everything spiraling out of control as the spy catchers move in. 







  
  

A White House From Russia With Love

Former Lieutenant General Michael Flynn was a hate filled arrogant cunt and so was the natural hire of Trump's White House. 
He had been fired by Obama or rather pushed into retirement for being a lose cannon and I don't mean it in an LA cop on the edge cool way. 
He was abusive towards staff, had his way or the highway and was very quick to condemn US policy. As Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency he sent out classified warnings about Syria because he was right and Obama was wrong, he wouldn't shut up.   

He was actually right about what he said about Assad and Turkey but it wasn't his job to go over the boss's head and to say so. He should have started a fucken blog and behave like the soldier he was supposed to be. If they wanted his opinion they've have issued one to him.

Why yes that is Jill Stein on the right but going by her actions she seems to be clean.

To pay the rent he appeared on RT which is the place anyone with anti-American views go to. You want to slag off the US you go on RT. He may have spoken out against Turkey and Erdoğan saying they were looking the other way with ISIS but as soon as his security firm were hired by a company with ties to the Erdoğan government he quickly switched sides and said that Turkey was a critical U.S. ally.   

That is the man he is. During the election he talked sanctions with Russia, he then lied he has done so and then went all Oliver North and pretended to have forgotten if he had or not. His resignation is to protect Pence who no doubt knew what was going on. You don't discuss something like this without having run it past the top bosses.

The Logan Act says it's illegal for unauthorized people to negotiate with foreign powers in dispute over such things like hmmm lets think, the easing of Russian sanctions. Trump hadn't been elected so this does apply. 

Sally Yates the former Deputy Attorney General had already marked her cards before she told her staff not to enforce Trump's un-Constitutional anti-Muslim travel ban. She had told Trump in January she was worried about Flynn and the possibility he was open to blackmail by a foreign power. Trump ignored the warnings as we all know that he himself is in the same boat. 

Hail Hydra you're fired! 

 

 

Paul Manafort who was the former Kellyanne Conway

Paul Manafort has been a lobbyist for Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, military dictator of the Congo Mobutu Sese Seko and worked with Reagan to arm guerrillas of Jonas Savimbiin in Angola. His recent most interesting role was for Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych who was a puppet of Putin and is now living in exile in Russia.
Manafort is under investigation by CIA, NSA, FBI, ODNI and FinCEN for $12.7 million in cash from Yanukovych's Party of Regions and for the $2.2 million he distributed in Washington DC on behalf of that party to gain favor for Yanukovych.

Isn't it funny that a man who has no ties to Russia, no debts and no business interests there and certainly no compromising video from the FSB of Russian hookers peeing on him keeps on hiring people with ties and connections to Russia?

Manafort, Flynn, Tillerson. Oh and Spectrum Health in Michigan that owned the server used for a Trump company to communicate with Alfa Bank in Russia. Spectrum Health is owned by the husband of Betsy DeVos, she as we know paid $1 million to more than 20 senators who were to vote for her to become the head of the Education Department.

We know her brother Erik Prince has been advising Trump too.  

  Aras Agalarov a Russian version of Trump

  

Aras Agalarov put $20 million into Miss Universe. Donald jr spoke of Russian investment in 2008. Don jr also held talks in Paris in Nov 2016 with Russian supporters about Syria. 

Of course he has Russian ties, his deals in Russia span 30 fucken years. Gorbachev visited Trump Tower in 1988 for fucks sake. 

  

  

The CIA denied a special security clearance for Robin Townley who was Flynn's pick as NSC's senior director for Africa. Lots going on in Africa in Libya and Somalia. A government to back and form in Libya and forward operational bases in Somalia. Townley already has top secret security clearance but it says a lot that he was denied further clearance. 

The NSA etc record most calls made by senior people and Flynn knew this. You have to vet top level people to find out their weaknesses and vices. I bet Trump has quite a few. If you know what they are into then you know what Russia and others would use as leverage. 

Need money for a failed business, a couple of mistresses you want to keep quiet, a drug habit? These are all exploitable. 

Too much arrogance and ego? That too can be exploited. Benedict Arnold's ego and the fact he was passed over for promotion sent him into the waiting arms of the British. Similar to Flynn's experiences. 

There have been at least 4 White House advisers being investigated for Russian links. These lower level plebs be sacrificed so Trump, Pence and Bannon can get away. 

I see Trumptards on Twitter still blaming the left for Trump and his people consorting with a rival power ... what the fuck? 

Yeah it was these libtard  snowflake cunts that said, "hey I've got Sergey I. Kislyak's number, you should call him up and discuss the easing of sanctions to Russia even though they've started up the fighting in Ukraine again."

It was liberals that said, "Hey Manafort you should pay lobby groups $2.2 million to help out Viktor Yanukovych."  

Did they also make Trump grab pussies too? 

There comes a point beyond gullibility where you are soo firmly in denial that you become complicate. Time to admit that maybe you aren't so politically savvy and that a TV reality star chicken shit draft dodger and noob to politics perhaps wasn't the right choice.

Or maybe you are a traitor to the US too, that seems like a real possibility. Not even a month in power and his admin is tearing itself apart. This is long from over.
