How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!

—Mark Twain

If your breath can fog a mirror and you ended up here, you probably have at least some hazy idea that the FBI had filed one, or possibly two, requests for warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), sometime in June and/or July of 2016—having something somehow to do with Donald Trump and his presidential campaign. You likely also have the idea that the FISA court denied the request (or requests).

That opening paragraph is about as foggy as breath on a mirror for an inescapable reason.

It’s a bet-the-farm certainty that you cannot say with any confidence at all whether the number of purportedly failed FISA applications was one, or two. It’s also an all-in certainty that you cannot say with any confidence whether any such failed FISA applications happened in June of 2016, or in July of 2016, or both.

The reason you can’t say is because the number of such failed FISA applications isn’t one, and it isn’t two; the number is zero. It didn’t happen in June 2016, and it didn’t happen in July 2016, or both, because it never happened at all.

That’s why it is categorically impossible for you or me or anyone in the world to produce even a kibble-sized scrap of evidence that any such failed FISA applications took place. The whole story is a malicious CIA fiction.

And fiction doesn’t leave a paper trail.

This report, though, if you’ll stay with me, exposes critical irrefutable evidence proving beyond any reasonable doubt that no such FISA applications were filed and rejected at all in June or July of 2016.

Before we get to that evidence, here is how the fiction was manufactured:

On 7 November 2016—the day before the presidential election—Louise Mensch spewed out onto her own widely read Heat Street website a breathless story: “EXCLUSIVE: FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia.” As with all CIA lies, it was a deadly cocktail of fact and fiction. It said in pertinent part:

The FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses … The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. … Sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.

The only truthful fact in all of that gossipy sewage is that a FISA warrant actually was granted in October 2016. The approval came on 21 October 2016, according to the Department of Justice Inspector General’s report published in June 2018: “A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election.” But that information about the approved 21 October 2016 FISA warrant was a closely guarded secret at the time of Mensch’s article, 7 November 2016.

Just exactly how Ms. Mensch learned of the oh-so-secret October 2016 FISA warrant within only 17 days of its approval is a damned good question, but one that will have to be put on hold for another time. (Soon.)

Meanwhile, what can be said with unshakable certainty is that Louise Mensch was being a water-carrier—or perhaps “sewage-carrier” would be more apt—for the CIA and other Deep-State actors in the Five-Eyes conglomerate, poisoning the groundwater of public knowledge to effect a willfully wicked purpose. Stay tuned…

With the eerie creeping pace of a stalking big cat, the Sewage Masters in the CIA and Five Eyes allowed just over two months to go by before opening another one of their big sewage valves: the BBC’s Washington correspondent, Paul Wood. On 12 January 2016—just in time to hose filth all over Donald Trump’s inauguration—Wood let loose on the BBC’s US & Canada News site with the article, “Trump ‘compromising’ claims: How and why did we get here?” In it, he ratcheted up the Mensch lies, embellishing them with new lies—and even twisting the one grain of truth into a lie:

I understand the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat—or compromising material—on the next US commander in chief. At the same time a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump’s organisation or his election campaign. …

Lawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice … drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the FISA court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted permission to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks.

Their first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on 15 October, three weeks before election day.

The “15 October” date is wrong—and there is not the slightest doubt that it is intentionally wrong, an unmistakable bloody handprint of the CIA, which I’ve covered extensively in this online excerpt from my book, Watergate: The Hoax. The actual date, as we know now, was 21 October—and I will show in an upcoming article that the difference in dates is as crucial as the path of a surgical scalpel hitting or missing an artery.

The rest of what Wood wrote is simply raw sewage—including the sly implication left hanging, like used toilet paper on a branch, that the October FISA warrant had something to do with “electronic records from two Russian banks” in connection with Donald Trump. We know—now—that was nothing but filthy fabricated fiction.

So were Wood’s claims of two rejected FISA applications, one supposedly in June 2016, one supposedly in July 2016. And here’s the actual evidence to support that conclusion.

EVIDENCE OF THE LIES

The report issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation” (colloquially, the “Nunes Memo”), provided a dispositive and essential fact—vital emphasis added:

On October 21, 2016, DOJ and FBI sought and received a FISA probable cause order (not under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC.

Note carefully that the FISA authorization was specifically and only for electronic surveillance—NOT physical search. Electronic surveillance is covered under Title I of FISA statutes, Sections 101-112 (50 U.S.C. §§ 1801-1812).

Below is a table extracted from the publicly available “Report of the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts on Activities of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts for 2016,” an annual report required by law covering the activities of the FISA courts. The report for a given year includes “the number of applications or certifications submitted” and “whether those requests were granted, modified, or denied.” In this table for calendar year 2016, the category of “electronic surveillance” is identified by its relevant United States Code section for FISA court orders, § 1805—and the relevant information has been marked here in red:

Number of electronic surveillance applications denied under § 1805 in calendar year 2016: Zero. Zip. None. Nada.

That means that the claims of Mensch and Wood about one or more such FISA applications being denied in June and/or July of 2016 were malign lies. Subsequently, their toxic CIA-generated sewage has been spread all over the world by unwitting and well-meaning others attempting to analyze and make some kind of sense out of the madness, only to fall into the putrid pools of confusion and contradiction that were created with malice aforethought by the anonymous Deep State “sources” who pumped the sludge out through Mensch and Wood.

THE PURPOSE: CONFUSION IS THE PRIMARY PRODUCT OF THE CIA AND THE FIVE EYES

I wrote in Watergate: The Hoax: “The primary product of the CIA is confusion, as much as possible.”

That is as true today as it was during Watergate, and it will be just as true for every tomorrow that comes as long as these professional liars are allowed to hide their crimes behind the black shroud of “national security.”

The purpose of this particular set of CIA lies about the non-existent “denied FISA application(s)” was to create as much confusion as possible about the timeline of the CIA and Five-Eyes surveillance and monitoring of Donald Trump and his associates. That full story has yet to be dragged out from behind the black shroud—but it will be. When it happens, it will be evident that the CIA and other Deep State actors had to cover their tracks, so planted these lies in the public through their compliant useful idiots, Mensch and Wood.

The CIA lies exposed here have all the bloody handprints of the CIA and their “allied” counterparts in the Five Eyes. They use the same psyops over and over and over, which I have documented extensively in the Watergate book. That section from the book is freely available on this site: “The CIA Psyops of Watergate and Beyond.”

I urge you to read that article in full, but a few of those psyops bear some brief review here specifically related to this “denied FISA application(s)” psyop.

THE MANIPULATION OF TIME

When Bob Dylan wrote about the “foggy ruins of time,” he had likely experienced a too-heavy dose of CIA, perhaps from being incautious enough to read a newspaper or watch mainstream TV news. Those news sources have long been the primary channels of CIA propaganda, and the CIA (and all Deep-State actors) love to make time as foggy, vague, and downright wrong as possible—especially around their most nefarious doings. That’s exactly why the confusion about “June, or July, or both” was planted in this op.

They commonly use broad-stroke generalizations about time, such as “in the summer” (when it was actually, e.g., October), or “last year.” Sometimes they’ll throw out a month—but even that is often the wrong month. Even if the month is correct, such “information” is essentially useless in critical analysis of important events because so much can transpire in a month. Not knowing the exact correct sequence of events within a given month can wreak havoc on analysis, and the Deep State boys are masters at muddying those waters.

Consider this: There is not a single thing that goes on in government that isn’t dated and time-stamped, sometimes down to the minute or second. It is absolutely ludicrous that a government official could not give an exact date for any event of any slightest consequence—yet it is damned near impossible, in many cases, to get an actual date out a government source. Any time you encounter confusion or vagueness about the date of an important event related to the government, you can bet your mother’s teeth that there is a knowing, willful attempt to hide something. And it’s something important.

THE PLURAL VS. SINGULAR MIND SPINNER

Was it one “rejected” FISA application, or was it two? Of course the only right answer is “Zero.” But the Deep State operatives use this singular/plural psyop frequently to sow confusion. As an example: How many bugs were planted in the Watergate DNC offices, and how many monitoring units were used to monitor them? Do you know? Better read this: “CIA Crimes: There Were No ‘Bugs’ in DNC Headquarters at the Watergate.”

THE “NO-SEE-UM” PSYOP

This should need no explanation—yet it is utterly astounding how readily and willingly many people will accept without question some “claim” or allegation, even one that is once, twice, thrice or more removed, without having the slightest scintilla of actual evidence that any such thing ever existed or happened at all.

And of course the “rejected FISA application(s)” op never was anything but a whole-cloth fiction, a “no-see-um” that had no more reality than a flying horse.

Such ill-intended fictions are the realm of gossip-mongers, and without gossip mongering, there would be no “intelligence community” at all. They live, sleep, eat, and breathe gossip and willful lies.

Courts and lawyers have created and fostered the naive belief that “testimony” is “evidence,” and while it can be evidence—if something is directly perceived by an honest person—the world of professional pathological liars such as the CIA is built entirely on creating vast, elaborate, complex, and downright vicious fictions, fantasies that have no actual existence at all.

The entire “Watergate” hoax was erected on little else. I recently wrote two articles on this subject of no-see-ums alone. Please read “Myths and Madness: The No-See-Ums of Spygate, Russiagate, and Watergate, Part 1” and Part 2.

DEMAND actual EVIDENCE—do not accept no-see-ums!

THE UNSEEN BLOODY HAND

The CIA and its fellow criminal counterparts around the world stay out of sight in the woodwork, like cockroaches.

The Deep State actors are cowardly enough to always use cutouts and conduits for their dirty work. They manipulate. They blackmail. They buy off those who can be bought off.

You never see the bloody hand—but you can learn to recognize the bloody handprints, and this “denied FISA application(s)” op has the bloody handprints of the CIA all over it, even though they used the cut-outs of their British counterpart operatives and some lapdog British alleged “journalists.”

The bloody handprints don’t lie, though: This wicked fiction could not possibly have been manufactured and spread around the world without witting tacit approval and consent having been granted by former CIA Director John Brennan, in collusion with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The lie was then laundered through their Five-Eyes fellow criminals in Great Britain, to be spewed out into world through their twin Brit sewer pipes: Louise Mensch and Paul Wood.

Whether Mensch and Wood were witting accomplices or merely useful idiots is immaterial. At the very least, they were so bankrupt of decency and integrity that they never once demanded actual EVIDENCE of the claims coming from their cowardly, pathologically lying, anonymous, hidden-in-the-woodwork “sources.”

And all of us suffered for it.
