We have raised and discussed serious matters of fact and questions about the role of CIA Director Gina Haspel in the Anti-Trump conspiracy. It appears Haspel (while serving as London Chief of Station from 2014 to early 2017) was an active, knowledgeable party to the efforts to target candidate Trump with an FBI-instigated foreign counterintelligence operation. That seditious conspiracy carried forward to a more sophisticated and aggressive plan to carry out a soft coup against President Donald J. Trump.

Looking back on news reporting concerning Haspel, we turn (with caution) to a Washington Post article from July 2019 by Scott Shane, titled: “The quiet director: How Gina Haspel manages the CIA’s volatile relationship with Trump”. We are supposed to believe that Haspel and her office did not cooperate with the reporter for the article. Shane disclaims Haspel involvement by writing:

“This report is based on interviews with 26 current and former officials who have worked with Haspel in the United States, particularly when she served in senior management roles at headquarters, and in London, where Haspel served two tours as the CIA’s top representative — chief of station — a plum post that is usually the steppingstone to the agency’s highest ranks.”

No Washington Post article in the last decade has contained such a scrupulous sourcing statement. Of course, Haspel had nothing to do with the article. Remember that, won’t you?

Haspel, twice-over Chief of Station in London, had close connections with the British intelligence and security services. Given the nature of the “special relationship” between the two countries, that is hardly surprising. Shane’s interviews of British intelligence officers take things a step further, however:

“… what she lacked in after-hours sociability she made up for with deep professional ties to the upper echelon of the British security establishment. ‘She had access to anyone in our service,’ the former British intelligence official said.”

Shane goes on to explain:

“Haspel has become the CIA’s linchpin to the Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, its most important foreign partner. Her British colleagues say that she knows them so well — warts and all — that they call her the ‘honorary U.K. desk officer.'”

In the next paragraph, Shane notes breathlessly:

“… Trump has accused the United Kingdom of conspiring with American intelligence to spy on his presidential campaign.”

President Trump certainly has made that claim, and one believes for very good reasons that seem to compound weekly. Reasons that make the “intelligence community” and 95% of “official Washington” extremely nervous. It is the sort of statement that presidential aides and counsels look nervous about, wring their hands and respectfully, earnestly plead: “But Mr. President, you just can’t say that sort of thing!” Truth be damned.

Concurrent with the FBI’s anti-Trump foreign counterintelligence operation, launched from the United Kingdom (with Haspel’s affirmative “coordination”), keep in mind that the UK’s version of the National Security Agency — the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) — was engaged in an aggressive Signals Intelligence campaign later codified in UK law as the Investigatory Powers Act (and referred to colloquially as the “Snoopers’ Charter”). Having the British run an aggressive intelligence collection operation against Team Trump targets, bypassing US legal prohibitions, and then laundering the intelligence “take” back to US officials via the UK-US liaison relationship is precisely something an “honorary UK desk officer” might be good and adept at accomplishing.

Certainly, these subjects and questions deserve closer examination, without the phony prophylactic defense of grave warnings about “sources and methods.” No one examining the coup against President Trump is seriously interested in the precise technical collection techniques of GCHQ — they just want to know if the Brits were involved in an attempt to subvert a presidential campaign and then overturn the results of an election. CIA Director Gina Haspel can answer all of those questions, and she does not even have to touch upon classified information to do so. The American public is due her answers.

During a campaign event in Tampa, Fla., Joe Biden made a rather bizarre comment that really shows us what the Democratic nominee thinks of black Americans.

“The American public, the blinders have been taken off. They’ve all of a sudden seen a hell of a lot clearer. Geez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.”

Um… what? This bizarre remark reminds me a lot of the time Biden said that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” as well as other racist comments he’s made over the years.

Does Joe Biden assume that the only people who stock grocery store shelves wherever his handler shops for him are black women? What if they support Trump and “ain’t black”? Remember that one?

These and other comments continue to prove just how little Joe Biden really thinks of black Americans.

Turkish President Erdogan is a grave threat to all Christians, to Europe, to civilization and to our common values.

After Syria, Libya and the eastern Mediterranean, the Turkish ‘sultan’ now is intervening in Nagorno Karabach, a historic piece of Armenian land disputed by Muslim Azerbaijan.

Erdogan, backed by the usual treacherous Qatar, sent his Islamist henchmen, already become very efficient in Libya and against the Kurds in Syria, to help the Azeris. AsiaNewsrevealed that 4,000 Syrian mercenaries are in Azerbaijan and that others are leaving for that purpose. They say they “fight against the Christian crusaders” and that “it is part of the jihad”.

Israel must stop selling weapons to the Azeris. After all Turkey has also become Israel’s enemy. I was disappointed when the vote in the Knesset to recognize the Armenian Genocide was canceled.

The Armenians are left with only Putin and Russia, as has often happened when it comes to Eastern Christians. My friend, the Armenian writer Antonia Arslan, is right in asking: “Who, in the old continent, wants to die for Nagorno-Karabakh? Nobody wanted to die for Danzig in 1939, let alone today for Stepanakert”.

Europe must understand that, from the Greeks to the Armenians, not only interests are at stake when fighting against Erdogan, but also civilization. This is why the former church of Hagia Sophia has just been reconverted to mosque.

The West is decaying before our eyes. I implore Israel to stand with the little Armenia. “Who remembers the Armenians?” Hitler asked in planning the Holocaust.

Jews and Armenians are very different from their neighbors. They have a long history and they have survived many wars and invasions.

Israel and Armenia, two islands of European civilization in the Islamic ocean. two islands the Jihadists want to eradicate.

The rallies in favor of the unlimited and immediate reception of all immigrants from Greece are increasingly infiltrated by left-wing (migrantifa) and anti-Semitic extremists. This became very obvious last weekend at a demonstration in Frankfurt.

Our Tweet of the week comes from the well-known television journalist, author, editor, filmmaker and war correspondent Düzen Tekkal.

She tweets:

“Where anti-Semitic slogans are shouted, I would never participate. Since I am not the only one to do so, this harms the cause of a more humane refugee policy. After the attack on the Jewish student in Hamburg, such incidents intensify the feeling of being threatened.”

The reason for this clear positioning: During the Refugee welcome march on the occasion of Moria/Lesbos, not only nationalist flags could be seen, but also anti-Semitic slogans could be heard: “Free Palestine-From the River to the Sea” implies that the whole of Israel should be made ” free of Jews”.

Other participants even report of “Israel Jews-free” shouts at the “Moria march” in Frankfurt.

The Twitter video seems to be an excerpt from this longer video posted on Instagram:

Ahmad Mansour on the behavior of these activists: “Their international solidarity is selective. It is not for charity to the refugees, but because it makes them feel more moral.For the Jews in Israel this solidarity is not intended. Not even if they are threatened daily by terror & rockets”.

At least this raises the question:What is your attitude to this anti-Semitism you pro refugee activists, “Seebrücke”, “Migrantifa” and Enissa Amani? And if you clearly disapprove of it, then please say so clearly. Without such a distancing, you might get the impression that you are in favor of such ideologies within the Refugee Welcome movement!

And, of course, Malca Goldstein-Wolf is right when she asks: “What else must actually happen so that leftist and Muslim anti-Semitism becomes a topic for the ” Tagesschau”?
