Kris Millegan posted this on Facebook today: Recommended read: (5) On Inauguration Day, Trump apparently filed his candidacy for 2020. Beyond being unusual, this opens up the ability for him to start accepting “campaign contributions” right away. Given that a sizable fraction of the campaign funds from the previous cycle were paid directly to the Trump organization in exchange for building leases, etc., at inflated rates, you can assume that those campaign coffers are a mechanism by which US nationals can easily give ca...sh bribes directly to Trump. Non-US nationals can, of course, continue to use Trump’s hotels and other businesses as a way to funnel money to him. (6) Finally, I want to highlight a story that many people haven’t noticed. On Wednesday, Reuters reported (in great detail) how 19.5% of Rosneft, Russia’s state oil company, has been sold to parties unknown. This was done through a dizzying array of shell companies, so that the most that can be said with certainty now is that the money “paying” for it was originally loaned out to the shell layers by VTB (the government’s official bank), even though it’s highly unclear who, if anyone, would be paying that loan back; and the recipients have been traced as far as some Cayman Islands shell companies. Why is this interesting? Because the much-maligned Steele Dossier (the one with the golden showers in it) included the statement that Putin had offered Trump 19% of Rosneft if he became president and removed sanctions. The reason this is so interesting is that the dossier said this in July, and the sale didn’t happen until early December. And 19.5% sounds an awful lot like “19% plus a brokerage commission.” Conclusive? No. But it raises some very interesting questions for journalists to investigate.

John Newman wrote on Facebook today, Saturday 1/28/2017: PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT BUY JFK AND VIETNAM ON AMAZON UNTIL I POST THAT IT IS AVAILABLE THERE. It will have "SECOND EDITION" on the cover. I see someone just purchased the old Warner Books version for the new full price for the new edition. Whoever you were that made that purchase, please send me a message and I will help you get the new version so that your money was not wasted. I asked Amazon to remove the old edition but they explained that they are not allowed to do that because it is being sold by resellers. Second Edition should be on Amazon by Monday or Tuesday. If you want to buy it before then you may do so at the Create Space estore: https://www.createspace.com/6129867.

The Vanity Fair article was posted on Facebook today. Steven Hager commented on it as follows: The assassination was run through JM/Wave's ZR/Rifle project, which recruited assassins primarily through the Sicilian men-of-honor. The first was Johnny Roselli. The three assassins were paid $50,000 each. When a book says "the mob did it" it is a backstop, and not the real story.

From the 2008 Vanity Fair article, “Legacy of Mystery”: As for the truth about J.F.K.? Those documents get declassified in 2017, when we’ll know everything, the debate will be settled, and we can all move on with our lives. And if you believe that, Tupac would like to offer you a great deal on this pad in Boca. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/11/conspiracy200811

Author Jim Hougan posted the following on Facebook today: The “en masse” resignation of the State Department’s senior management team is worrisome. At least one of those who resigned (Undersecretary for Management, Pa...trick Kennedy) had been expected to remain in place. This suggests two possibilities: either those who resigned were ousted by the Trumpistas, or it became suddenly clear to those who left that they could not in good conscience continue in their roles - and so they walked. The first possibility suggests that Trump & Co. have scored yet another own goal, destabilizing their own foreign policy even before it can be implemented. The second possibility - that those who resigned did so to distance themselves from a disaster in the making - is even more worrisome. That Kennedy sought to stay on in the new administration, then suddenly changed his mind, raises the specter of a “known unknown” so alarming that the management felt that it had to run (not walk) away. What that might be is anyone’s guess: it could be intel about Trump’s compromised relationship with Russia, or news that a decision has already been made to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. (Just my guess...)

Trump unhappy being president. http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/donald-trump-now-says-he-cant-enjoy-being-president-why-doesnt-he-just-resign/1161/

My interpretation of the Inquisitr and Wall Street Journal articles is that the infamous 35 page dossier is far from being dead or proved false. Russian intelligence has the goods on Trump gained, perhaps, on his first visit as a businessman in1987 to Russia before he became all-knowing about attempts there to compromise prominent visitors. So there is much activity behind the scenes going on by Western intelligence agencies to establish definitively just how compromised he is today. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-dossier-mi6-christopher-steele-russia-documents-alex-younger-a7528681.html That said, there is also a growing consensus that Trump is a loon and may snap or have a public breakdown sooner rather than later, leading to his voluntary or involuntary resignation as President. http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/carl-bernstein-nervous-republican-officials-are-questioning-president-trumps-emotional-stability/ https://infinite-coincidence.com/2017/01/22/donald-trump-is-going-to-snap-very-soon-and-here-is-how-i-know/

The Wall Street Journal today has an article that provides supplemental information on Sergei Millian, who mentioned above as being the source of the Trump allegations. The Journal reports that Millian appears in protographs taken at VIP functions connected with the Trump Inauguration last week. The Journal also states that Michael Cohen, Trump's personal attorney, declared that Millian has no connection with the Trump organization. However, the Inquiristr article above states that Millian is one of 100 people that Cohen follows regularly on Twitter. So there is a real story here. Where there is smoke there is fire.

Absolutely a must read article: http://www.inquisitr.com/3917528/fbi-businessman-with-ties-to-russia-and-trump-is-the-source-of-dossier-details/

John Newman wrote this on Facebook yesterday: NEW OSWALD HIGHLIGHTS IN VOLUME II According to a legendary senior CIA counterintelligence officer, who was once on track to become the director of the Agency, Lee Harvey Oswald was a witting false defector sent to the USSR in 1959 as part of a mole hunt. This revelation is discussed, for the first time, in Chapter One of Countdown to Darkness. In Chapter Eighteen (which covers the late opening of Oswald's CIA 201 file in December 1960), incontrovertible new evidence is presented showing that the Agency's mole-hunting unit (specifically, Birch O'Neal and Ann Egerter) used the false name Lee Henry Oswald as a marked card strategy in the mole hunt.

Here is the full Trump speech at the CIA headquarters in Langley yesterday. It was a combination of political drivel and sheer insanity and was only outdone by the riotous clapping of approval by the CIA personnel who were present. It is time worthwhile spent viewing the full speech. The CIA is known for having staff psychiatrists who analyze the personalities and minds of the world's leaders. One must wonder what these psychiatrists concluded about President Trump. I feel certain their conclusions coincided with that of their counterparts in the Russian, Chinese and other countries' intelligence agencies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmLi0hB9SMw&feature=share https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/01/22/ex-cia-boss-brennan-others-rip-trump-speech-in-front-of-memoria/21660125/ “CNN’s decision to not air the press conference live illustrates a recognition that the role of the press must be different under Trump. When the White House holds press briefings to promote demonstrably false information and refuses to take questions, then press ‘access’ becomes meaningless at best and complicit at worst. Democracy works best when journalists have access to the executive branch, of course. But that holds true if and only if that access leads to verifiable, accurate information. The decision on behalf of CNN to wait and verify before airing it live suggests that the media are adapting quickly to this new era.” --- Danna Young Professor of Politics and the Media at the University of Delaware

From the article: But if Russia’s role in the 2016 election is basically undisputed, we’re still left with a separate, more troubling question for which there isn’t yet a clear answer: Could Donald Trump actually be a Russian intel asset?.... Whether the material Russian intelligence might have on Trump is the kompromat Steele describes in his dossier, it’s a good bet Russian intelligence has something. http://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/01/13/tinker-tailor-mogul-spy/
