    A whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twitter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance. They describe the activities of an “anti-disinformation” group called the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL, that officially began as the volunteer project of data scientists and defense and intelligence veterans but whose tactics over time appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The CTI League documents offer the missing link answers to key questions not addressed in the Twitter Files and Facebook Files....
  • Have the Cheneys Forgotten the Deep State Hit on Scooter Libby? Self-awareness is not one of the Cheneys’ strengths.

    I have been ashamed to hear members of my party attacking the integrity of the FBI agents involved with the recent Mar-a-Lago search,” the perversely self-righteous Liz Cheney tweeted on Thursday. “These are sickening comments that put the lives of patriotic public servants at risk.” Rep. Cheney seems to have forgotten one significant event in her family’s political life: the same weaponized deep state that okayed the raid on Mar-a-Lago convicted her father’s chief-of-staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby on charges that were as manufactured as those leveled against President Trump. If Liz has forgotten, former vice president Dick Cheney surely remembers....

    The State Department (which Hillary Clinton used to run and where she still holds significant influence) has been very clear about one thing. There is no relationship between donations to the Clinton Foundation and actions taken by the Secretary of State during her tenure there. Period. Full stop. End of discussion. Perish the thought. You’re all just a bunch of Clinton haters who are trying to stop the ongoing charity work of these wonderful people. And yet for some strange reason we keep seeing stories like this. Hillary hadn’t even finished unpacking her things in her new office at...

    VIDEOThat muskrat sitting atop Frank Luntz's head has gotten angrier and angrier over the years especially since Donald Trump became president. One result is that Luntz is now working with liberals on how to manipulate Trump supporters to accept the Green New Deal agenda as you can see here in his TDS affected advice to them at an Aspen conference recently.So when you see an "angry farmer" advising Trump supporters to support the liberal "climate change" agenda, you will know the idea of using him as a manipulator came from Frank Luntz... or from Frank Luntz's muskrat.
  • House intelligence committee member warns people not to share health data with sites like 23andMe because it can be used to program new bio-weapons to target them

    A member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee warned that bio-weapons are being made that use a target's DNA to only kill that person. Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum on Friday, US Rep Jason Crow of Colorado warned Americans to not be so cavalier about sharing their DNA with private companies due to the coming of the new type of weapon Earlier this week the Washington Examiner reported on just how easy it could be for privately-owned databases to be used to develop bioweapons such as the ones touted by Crow. The publication explained how DNA belonging to a...

    SNIP Speaking before a crowd of 400 people at the Aspen Institute on February 5, 2015, Bloomberg said that to prevent violent crimes, police should seize guns from minorities. Bloomberg specifically noted that 95 percent of murders—both murderers and murder victims—in New York and “virtually every city” were committed by individuals fitting the same profile. “Male, minorities, 16 to 25,” he said. SNIP “95 percent of your murders—murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description. Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, sixteen to twenty-five. That’s true in...
  • Aspen Disinformation Group Includes Twitter Exec Who Censored Hunter Biden Story

    Washington Free Beacon ^ | November 16, 2021 | Chuck Ross •
    The Twitter executive responsible for blocking stories about Hunter Biden's laptop is one of several advisers to the Aspen Institute's disinformation commission. Yoel Roth is one of several questionable advisers to Aspen's Commission on Information Disorder, which on Monday released its much-anticipated report. Commission members include Katie Couric, who recently acknowledged that she edited comments on National Anthem protests out of a 2016 interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg to preserve the justice's reputation with liberals. Another commissioner, Rashad Robinson, helped fuel actor Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax. Commission members' censorship of legitimate news stories could undercut their lofty mission. The...

    The Weekly Standard ^ | 4-7-15 | Fred Barnes
    Judith Miller, the former New York Times reporter, has blown a big hole in the case against Lewis “Scooter” Libby, convicted of lying to avoid blame for outing a CIA agent. Miller was a key witness in Libby’s trial, but in her new book she has repudiated her testimony. Libby was “railroaded in his conviction” by Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, she said in an interview on Fox News yesterday. In her book, The Story: A Reporter’s Journey, she writes that Fitzgerald cajoled her into testifying in 2007 that Libby had told her Valerie Plame, the wife of a critic...

    Globalist elite Prince Harry announced he’d be joining the neoliberal think tank Aspen Institute to preside over a thorough inquiry into American “misinformation” on Thursday, with the royal drawing criticism across both sides of the Atlantic for his embrace of left-wing politics and professional victimhood. The global elite has been appointed a commissioner on the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder, presiding over a six-month study into supposed “misinformation” with fourteen other commissioners. “As I’ve said, the experience of today’s digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to...

    Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said that he no longer considers himself a Republican in the wake of the riot that broke out at the Capitol building last week. Asked by CNN's Fareed Zakaria whether he believes "fellow Republicans" who have not criticized President Trump "encouraged, at least, this wildness to grow and grow," Powell responded that "They did, and that's why I can no longer call myself a Republican." "I'm not a fellow of anything right now. I'm just a citizen who has voted Republican, voted Democrat throughout my entire career, and right now I'm just watching my...

    The FBI has joined a criminal investigation of what police said appears to be an "intentional attack" on gas service lines in Aspen, Colorado, that left thousands of residents and businesses without heat as temperatures in the skiing mecca plunged to near zero degrees. Work crews are scrambling to restore gas service, and local authorities handed out electric space heaters to residents still without heat Tuesday, as a storm is forecast to bring up to 8 inches of snow in the Rocky Mountains region this week. Temperatures are forecast to fall to 2 degrees in Aspen on Tuesday night, according...

  • Arrest Warrant Requested for Yellowstone Club Owner

    A Colorado company suing the owner of the exclusive Yellowstone Club to recoup a $13 million debt has asked a federal judge to issue a warrant for her arrest after she failed to appear at a scheduled court hearing. The U.S. District Court in Colorado issued a separate arrest warrant on Feb. 13 for owner Edra Blixseth's son, Matthew Crocker, the principal developer of Bozeman's stalled Story Mill Development. As of late Wednesday night, the judge had not issued a warrant for Blixseth, who had been ordered to appear earlier in the day for a hearing to determine the location...

    The Washington Post "Fact Checker" column gave former CIA operative and current Democratic New Mexico congressional candidate Valerie Plame three "Pinocchios" for her claim that former George W. Bush administration official I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby leaked her identity. Plame blamed Libby for the leak in a campaign ad released Monday, but according to the Post's fact-check, there is no evidence he disclosed her role to columnist Robert Novak. Novak wrote the piece that reported that Plame, identified as a CIA operative, suggested sending her husband, Joe Wilson, to Niger to look into a report that Saddam Hussein had sought uranium...

    MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace suggested on Tuesday that "maybe a reporter ends up in jail" during President Trump's second term during a discussion about whether or not House Democrats pursue impeachment. Wallace began by stressing how "important" the hearings of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller are on Wednesday and questioned the mindset of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has been outspoken with her hesitancy to impeach the president. "I'm sure she has really good reasons, but if any of them are political, she'll be reaping what she sewed," Wallace said.
  • Shouldn't Adam Schiff recuse from Russia probe now that he's caught hobnobbing with Fusion GPS?

    American Thinker ^ | 02/08/2019 | Monica Showalter
    A while back, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to recuse himself from the investigation into President Trump's campaign's supposed collusion with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. The grounds for it? Sessions had shaken hands and made small talk with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak, meaning, he had a conflict of interest. Sessions, being the honorable naif that he was, obliged. Well, now the shoe is on the other tootsie. House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, who's vowed a kitchen-sink style investigation against President Trump, (now that no Russian collusion has been found) has been caught in photographs taken...

January 25, 2019 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Jonathan Greenblatt introduced the ADL’s Never is Now 2018 conference with a full-throated defense of George Soros. It was a strange decision for an organization that had once criticized the radical anti-Israel billionaire’s defenses of anti-Semitism. But under Greenblatt, a former Obama official, the ADL had turned sharply to the left and Never is Now,...

    In “The Story: A Reporter’s Journey,” which hit book store shelves Tuesday, April 7, former New York Times reporter Judith Miller revealed in the final chapter that she now believes that she was induced by then-Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald to give false testimony in the 2007 trial of I. “Lewis” Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. Given that Fitzgerald’s three-and-a-half year-long investigation and prosecution of Libby riveted the nation’s capital and generated vast news coverage implying, when not outright declaring, that the Bush administration lied the nation into war, one might think that recantation...
