A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

—Marcus Tullius Cicero

If we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.

—Samuel Adams (writing as Candidus)

The FBI is a puppet that dances on the strings of the CIA.

That is something that has to be said, and not only said, but established, at this point in this series of articles. So before I pick up the 2016 timeline of CIA/FBI treachery from Part A and Part B, I’m asking you to grant me a few minutes to establish the crucial relationships and natures of these two powerful agencies. Government-salaried shills publicly lie or bleat or bluster or grandstand or evade questions or hide documents to keep the American people convinced otherwise, but do not be deceived by the lies. The fact is that the FBI operates in subservience to the CIA in all matters involving national security. In the absence of that certainty, nothing going on in our government will ever make sense.

The grasping of this one simple fact will suddenly align a thousand scattered and otherwise irreconcilable facts: The FBI, by operation of law, not opinion, is a puppet that dances on the strings of the CIA. Oh, the FBI can chase around after all the bank robbers and moonshiners it wants, but if a case even hints of there being any involvement by external, foreign actors, the CIA is all over it like a cheap suit, and the FBI dances only to the CIA’s tune—and therein lies the answer to Russiagate, Spygate, and Watergate alike.

Therein lies the entire explanation of why the CIA arranged for money that obviously had been laundered through Mexico to be planted all over the Watergate op by the Cuban “burglars”—every one of whom was working for the CIA. Those “clues” were planted intentionally by the CIA for the FBI to “find.” At that moment, DCI Richard Helms and the CIA had total control of the “investigation,” which had been planned and was executed by the CIA with malice aforethought to frame and destroy Richard Nixon.

And therein also lies the entire explanation of why DCI John Brennan and the CIA planted covert operatives inside the Trump campaign who had easily “discoverable” ties to Russia—exactly as the CIA had planted covert operatives inside Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign, and for the exact same reason: to smear and frame Donald Trump, first as candidate, and later as elected President, if that became necessary—but using the FBI as the attack dog.

It cannot possibly be otherwise than that the FBI has to jerk to the strings of the CIA in these matters, because in the late 1940s a wormy lawyer (but I repeat myself) named Lawrence Houston was the “principal draftsman of the 1947 act that created the C.I.A. and the 1949 law that gave it the power to spend money in secret.” That would be the National Security Act of 1947, and the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949. After Houston created the CIA, he managed to anoint himself as General Counsel of the agency, a cowering power behind the throne. As the architect of the Central Intelligence Agency, Houston “built the legal foundation on which it rests and the facades behind which it hid.” He then hid himself further still behind the agency’s skirts, using the veil of “attorney-client privilege” as the CIA’s General Counsel. The entire agency, including Houston, hid together behind the impenetrable walls of “national security” he had constructed. Lawrence Huston lurked in that dark hidey-hole of General Counsel to the CIA for 26 long years, during which time he helped to mastermind and carry out some of the most heinous crimes ever committed against humanity, including the horrors of MK-ULTRA.

Houston was still General Counsel to the CIA—working side-by-side with the Butcher of Langley, DCI Richard Helms—in 1972. That year the two of them used the FBI like a two-dollar ho’ to overthrow a sitting President of the United States—a tale fully told only in Watergate: The Hoax. Houston also was there when the CIA committed an assassination in Morocco in order to steal copyrighted technology for its darkest and dirtiest secret program that ran for over 25 years.

For those reasons and more, it requires the greatest exercise of will to speak about the man in terms that can be published at all. In railroading through the creation of the CIA in 1947 and the legalese to empower it, Houston single-handedly nullified 171 years of American heritage, blood, and treasure, destroying the very foundation of our republic by vesting in a single unelected official—the Director of Central Intelligence—sweeping and hidden powers of kings and despots that we had fought a Revolutionary War to free ourselves from. In doing so, he created the largest criminal organization in the history of the world. And he did it with just a few lawyerly worm-words: “The Director of Central Intelligence shall be responsible for protecting intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized disclosure.”

Yes, it was Lawrence Houston who dreamed up the infamous “sources and methods” phrase, creating thereby almost absolute power to permanently shut out the right of the People of the United States to know anything that the DCI decides, in his “sole discretion,” to keep secret. It is the ultimate tyranny of knowledge, and as such is a perfect tyranny of power.

Later “revisions” of the National Security Act have done nothing substantive to diminish that tyrannical power, so don’t be fooled by the shell game in the shuffling around of “17 intelligence agencies,” and the creation of an empty-suit “Director of National Intelligence,” who is a ventriloquist dummy for the DCI. The CIA is still the puppet master, and the FBI dances at the end of its strings on matters of “national security.”

TRAITORS WITHIN THE GATES

If you haven’t read PART A of this series, and PART B, I beseech, implore, entreat, and plead with you to do so. I simply can’t condense it all here. So hang on—here we go:

A primary takeaway from the first two parts of this series, which must be fully understood, is that Carter Page—who was run in on the Trump campaign as a plant in early March 2016, shortly after the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) John Brennan traveled to Moscow—had almost certainly worked previously with Bill Priestap, head of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, or Peter Strzok, Section Chief of the FBI’s Counterespionage section, or possibly both, when Carter Page was an Undercover Employee of the FBI in 2013 working on a sting in New York against Russian covert agents.

Carter Page definitely was in meetings with “FBI agents” in New York City on or about Monday, 7 March 2016, immediately before being taken onto the Trump campaign—but, incredibly, no investigator or congressional committee or trier of fact has asked the direct question whether those meetings involved either Strzok of Priestap. Given that the cover story on why Carter Page was there has something to do with the sting operation against Russian agents, it is impossible that Strzok and Priestap, given their positions, were not directly knowledgable of Carter Page and the New York operation, and one or both of them very likely was in New York meeting with Carter Page.

Carter Page, by his own admission, also had served as a covert operative for the CIA. The circumstantial case is overwhelming, then, that Carter Page was well known to the FBI’s Peter Strzok and Bill Priestap; that he was briefed by one or both of them, either directly or through a cut-out FBI agent, immediately before being taken on the Trump campaign as a “national security adviser” in March 2016; and that at all relevant times Carter Page was a witting undercover operative for the CIA, but under the aegis of the FBI as cut-out.

Another vital takeaway is that the FBI’s head of counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, traveled to London on Monday, 9 May 2016—the very day before George Papadopoulos, another planted “foreign policy advisor” for the Trump campaign, met with Australia’s Ambassador to the UK, Alexander Downer at a London wine bar on Tuesday, 10 May 2016, purportedly telling Downer some version of a story about the Russians supposedly having some kind of damaging material on Hillary Clinton. Bill Priestap was right there in London the day of the meeting, and for several days after the meeting, before flying back to Washington, DC.

All “ambassadors” and embassies everywhere in the world are covers and cut-outs for intelligence agencies and their operatives. Period. Anyone who tells you otherwise is probably an ambassador or an intelligence agent. (Or “liar,” to use the technical term.) It is patently ridiculous that Downer ever would have met with a nobody like Papadopoulos at all—unless instructed to by MI6 working on behalf of the CIA, all part of the Five Eyes conglomeration. The Papadopoulos/Downer “meeting” is exactly the kind of stupidly staged, entirely unverifiable theater-of-the-absurd that has the bloody handprint of CIA and the Five Eyes all over it—yet it has been paraded around by the Deep-State mouthpieces as the “reason” that the FBI later launched the Trump-Russia collusion “investigation.”

BACK TO THE TIMELINE OF TREACHERY

Because professional liars lie and obfuscate for a living, Alexander Downer has claimed in his own words that he “reported (back to Australia) the following day or a day or two after” the Papadopoulos meeting, sending an “official cable about what he had heard,” presumably to his bosses at Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (or to someone somewhere—nobody knows, nobody says). That would have been on or about Thursday, 12 May 2016. In a CIA op, though, there always are at least two different and contradictory stories, and sure enough (bold emphasis added):

[Downer’s] story nonchalantly notes that “after a period of time, Australia’s ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, passed the information on to Washington.”

My reporting indicates otherwise. A diplomatic source tells me Mr. Hockey neither transmitted any information to the FBI nor was approached by the U.S. about the tip. Rather, it was Mr. Downer who at some point decided to convey his information—to the U.S. Embassy in London. … The Downer details landed with the embassy’s then-chargé d’affaires, Elizabeth Dibble, who previously served as a principal deputy assistant secretary in Mrs. Clinton’s State Department.

—Kimberley A. Strassel, The Wall Street Journal

The reason there are two different alternate “realities” concerning this supposedly crucial, pivotal event, and the reason that both “realities” are plagued with foggy, vague expressions about time—even though every single relevant incident could be timed down to the minute from government records—is solely because the entire thing is a CIA op, and as I’ve said repeatedly, and will say repeatedly: The primary product of the CIA is confusion. They create that confusion knowingly, intentionally, using “methods” that are actually nothing more than the “methods” of common criminals everywhere on Earth—which are glorified by calling them psyops.

Choose whichever fictional “reality” you like, because the entire “event” was nothing but a staged, amateur CIA theatrical production to plant false “information” for framing Donald Trump—with the FBI’s Bill Priestap dancing at the end of CIA strings behind the cheap, tawdry stage scenery.

Within only three days of the Downer/Papadopoulos sham—at almost the exact same time that Priestap arrived back in Washington, Friday, 13 May 2016—the CIA/Five Eyes’ other puppet, Joseph Mifsud, used the useful idiot Papadopoulos to plant more frame-up garbage, writing: “We will continue to liaise through you with the Russian counterparts in terms of what is needed for a high level meeting of Mr. Trump with the Russian Federation.” And the next day, Saturday, 14 May 2016, the useful idiot Papadopoulos dutifully emailed the Trump campaign saying: “Russian government ha[s] also relayed to me that they are interested in hosting Mr. Trump.” (This “meet with Russia!” garbage from Papadopoulos went on in emails for months, studiously ignored by the Trump campaign, so I’m dropping further mentions of his relentless frame-up attempts.)

I sure hope you’re enjoying this CIA/Five Eyes theatrical production, because if you’re a US citizen, you paid through the nose for it with your taxes, and your friends, family, or fellow Americans have paid for it with their blood. Do NOT, though, think you’re going to get any backstage passes to find out what goes on behind the scenes, no matter how much you paid. Unh-uh. Nope. Not going to happen. The National Security Act of 1947 and the CIA Act of 1949 made damned sure that you are excluded. The CIA’s attitude is: sit there and take what we give you and shut up.

On or about the same date, perhaps Monday, 16 May 2016, the CIA/Five-Eyes criminal cartel set another of its covert operatives into action, Stefan Halper. He sent an email to Stephen Miller, who at the time was a senior policy advisor for the Trump campaign. Halper attempted to lure Miller to an upcoming event at the University of Cambridge, but Miller declined. Halper didn’t stop there, though. Stay tuned …

At almost the same time as the email invitation, on Monday, 16 May 2016, FBI Director James Comey circulated within the FBI another secret draft version of his statement exonerating Hillary Clinton—who had not been interviewed. Included on the routing were Andrew McCabe, James Baker, Bill Priestap, and Peter Strzok. And on the same day, James Comey went to the White House to visit with President Barack Obama.

Exactly two days later, on Wednesday, 18 May 2016, DCI John Brennan‘s ventriloquist dummy, DNI James Clapper, released a public statement claiming that “foreign spy services are trying to hack presidential campaign networks.” It’s all about narrative, narrative, narrative, script, script, script. The same day, along with the same announcement, came this claim—which was a flat-out lie:

“The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have sent experts to help the three remaining candidates — Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders — take measures to protect their campaigns from digital spying.”

The very next day, Thursday, 19 May 2016, a personal friend of Peter Strzok‘s named Rudolph “Rudy” Contreras was appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). (I’m sorry; were you busy watching the drama unfolding on another stage? See, that’s the problem with the CIA and the Deep State. Far worse than a three-ring circus, their ops are like a multiplex theater, but live, and they love to keep you busy looking in one direction while they are busy doing something else over on another stage, so if you don’t find a way to watch them all at once—and you can’t, because of “sources and methods,” don’tcha’ know—you’ll be in a permanent state of confusion and semi-hypnosis, with fixed attention. That’s their goal.)

The very same day, as it just so happened, Paul Manafort—who had long-held ties to Russia that the CIA, Peter Strzok, and Bill Priestap thoroughly knew about—was “elevated to campaign chairman” for Trump.

Just four days later, on Monday, 23 May 2016, Nellie Ohr—wife of senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr, who was working for Glenn Simpson/Fusion GPS, and was working, or had worked, for the CIA—was granted a HAM radio license, KM4UDZ. The Conservative Treehouse has done an excellent analysis of the significance of this license, which doesn’t need to be rehashed here. The salient facts for this timeline are: 1) that Nellie Ohr was an agent for a CIA front group called Open Source Works, 2) that Nellie Ohr had been employed as a contractor for Glenn Simpson‘s Fusion GPS since at least mid-to-late 2015, and, 3) that she and her husband Bruce Ohr knew and had working relationships with undercover MI6 agent Christopher Steele. Of course all of these roaches-in-the-wall connections were sub rosa, essentially hidden from you. You know: “sources and methods.”

As soon will become evident to a blind mule, though, this is one of the major systems that DNI John Brennan had set up well in advance, with malice aforethought, to launder manufactured “dirt” on Donald Trump through to him without messy, inconvenient paper trails that could point to him—because criminals like Brennan and his cronies love to work in the dark. Nellie Ohr, because of her clearances and employment with the CIA, was the hidden pipeline to Brennan, and the HAM radio license allowed her to communicate not only through her husband Bruce-to-Simpson-to-Steele, but with Christopher Steele directly.

if you doubt this web of conspiracy—and, Lordy! how I hope you doubt it—I hesitate to have to tell you that the very next day after Nellie Ohr got her HAM radio license, on Tuesday, 24 May 2016, Glenn Simpson/Fusion GPS received $91,500 from the Deep-State law firm Perkins Coie—which simultaneously was working for Hillary Clinton, for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and for John Brennan‘s direct boss, Barack Obama.

Three days later, on Saturday, 28 May 2016, the FBI’s Peter Strzok “interviewed” Hillary Clinton‘s lawyer Cheryl Mills—who, of course, was someone who just happened to be very tight indeed with the Deep-State cruds, a.k.a. “lawyers,” at Perkins Coie. The “interview” was supposedly about the Hillary Clinton private email server “matter.” Well, sure it was. Of course it was. Who would dare question that claim? Never mind the fact that Strzok already had seen James Comey’s draft statement exonerating Hillary Clinton. You have no right bringing that fact up. You are, after all, not in the inner circle of the inner Sanctum Sanctorum of the CIA and its cronies. You are, after all, merely a— What’s that dehumanizing word they use to dismiss and demean people like you? Oh, yeah: a “taxpayer.” You’re just a “taxpayer.”

Look, if you begin to feel as though you’ve been sucker-punched and stabbed in the back at the same time, it’s only because you have, but there is no shame in having vested your trust in people whose salaries you are paying, and who, as it turns out, are merely common criminals, liars, and thugs, operating under the color of law to deceive and betray you, hiding all their crimes behind “national security” to protect “sources and methods.” From you.

The bad news is that we’re only up to the end of May 2016, and we have miles to go before this series of articles gets put to bed.

Some good news, though, comes on a personal level. On the very same day that Strzok interviewed Cheryl Mills, Saturday, 28 May 2016, my 600-page exposé on the CIA called Watergate: The Hoax was officially published, and it ripped wide open the crimes of the CIA in the 1970s that overthrew a duly elected President of the United States—which is exactly what the CIA has attempted to do to this sitting President, Donald Trump.

I am proud of the accomplishment. All told, it took nearly 20 years to complete. I had the help, off and on, of a small army of mostly volunteer researchers and analysts that might rival Sherlock Holmes’s Baker Street Irregulars in terms of being a rag-tag bunch from every conceivable walk of life, but by god, they knew how to get things done. The result was a database like no database I have ever seen. It contained over 13,000 entries when I finished the book—and it has more entries now, as I work on the sequel. As valuable as the database content was, the amazing design of the database equalled it. The genius in the design allowed vast flexibility in searching, filtering, and sorting, especially in chronological order of event. We referred to it fondly after a while as “The Lie Counter,” because it made lies of the CIA and FBI and other Deep-State operatives practically leap out of the screen, lights-and-sirens.

Thanks to my unsung-by-choice colleagues, the finished book contained over 400 citations, more than a few to portions of FBI reports about Watergate that never before had been published in a book, plus quite a few documents from the personal files of involved individuals that never had seen the light of day.

The date, 28 May, was chosen for publication specifically because it was the “anniversary” of an entirely fictional piece of “history”: the alleged “first break-in” at the Watergate. There was no “first break-in” at the Watergate. There were no “bugs” planted in the DNC headquarters at all. The entire thing was a massive, vicious CIA hoax on the American people and on the world.

Mark Twain—or somebody—said, “It’s easer to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” If he didn’t say it, he should have, and I will attest to it. Telling people the unimpassioned fact that Watergate was a CIA hoax is akin to attacking someone’s religion. So I am unabashedly taking this moment to thank, from my heart, everyone who believed in me, who supported me, and who has written to me since the publication of the book with their heartfelt gratitude and relief that finally the truth about that awful covert coup has been told.

I was grateful to have found myself in the right places at the right time, with the right people—including everyone associated with Chalet Books—so that the truth could finally come out.

You can always write to me care of info@ChaletBooks.com, and I always will be happy to hear from you.

Meanwhile, I hope that you will read Watergate: The Hoax, not for my benefit, but in the sincere hope that it might help in any small way for you to better understand the depth of depravity of those we have entrusted with our security—not simply to condemn the guilty, but so we all might finally do something effective to change it.

And whether you read the book or not: do NOT miss PART D of this series, coming soon! The thrill ride has barely gotten into third gear!

I count on meeting you back here. I’ll miss you if I don’t.
