Maria Butina and I, Part I: Meeting Maria(Patrick Byrne)
DeepCapture ^ | Aug 25, 2019 | Patrick Byrne

Posted on 08/25/2019 10:51:43 AM PDT by Jayster

It is not my intent to reveal anything beyond what I recently said on TV (and likely, even less). Given that much of that is now going through a media blender, I aim merely to organize and state clearly the things I said on television recently, so as to reduce room for misreporting.

A frequently played video in the news this past year has been a clip from the summer of 2015: a 26 year old Maria Butina standing up in a Las Vegas conference to ask Candidate Donald Trump a question. The conference was FreedomFest, an annual conference for liberals (a.k.a. “classical liberals”, “philosophical liberals,” “libertarians”) that occurs in Las Vegas each summer, when freedom-oriented people descend on Vegas for four days and hear lectures on everything from Alexis de Toqueville to Hayek, from the Magna Carta to Bitcoin to Emigrating to Panama.

A glance at the schedule of the 2015 FreedomFest will confirm that I was at that conference as well. Wednesday, the opening day, I gave the keynote (“Turtles All the Way Down: How the Crypto-Revolution Solves Intractable Problems on Wall Street”), and participated in a panel Thursday. I left Friday afternoon. Candidate Trump spoke arrived and spoke Saturday, so we never crossed paths.

Waiting for Part 2 on this.
*************************
Thanks for posting. I’m also now waiting for Part 2. This was well written and very illuminating. Unfortunately the average person, having the attention span of a gnat, will not take time to read the entire piece. I RECOMMEND THIS BE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY!

From Maria:

“I know this will sound ridiculous to you, Dr. Byrne, but there are those who wish me to be president (Russia) someday. I am being groomed for it. By our constitution one cannot run until age 35. I think I will be 40. Many of the oligarchs know me personally, and understand what I want to do for Russia with my life. We want to make Russia a place that people do not want to leave.”

Yes, very interesting. I truly hope there is a ‘liberty’ movement going on in Russia today.

So it was her telling him. That’s his source.

Interesting. I doubt she has a shot but now we know.

He was not on twitter this morning. This clears up the id of the men in black from the other thread. Clearly FBI.

Now let’s see if he mentions San Diego and Hudson Bay. Also recall he said that Maria’s primary interest is dismantling our power grid.

If you go back, not far, in my posts I have posted quite a bit about what he says on twitter in the last few days. Absolutely riveted to this..

That said his stuff on Russian Orthodoxy is not as accurate as he said. Yes and no.

Seemed like he was saying Brennan, Clapper and ???? are X, Y and Z. Of course the Fox gal was leading him on that.

Dunno. Maybe time will tell.

This is the Overstock.com guy.

What a fascinating story. It might be true! I can't wait for Part 2.

Minor complaint: If you are going to write something this interesting, please proofread the damn thing!

Thanks. I had started to say Comey, Clapper and Brennan.

Thanks for letting me know.

This guy needs 5 bodyguards around him 24/7.

Byrne makes no reference to Brennan or Clapper. He clearly mentions Peter Strok (sp) and he mentions Comey is ‘Z’ saying Comey was asking him to do this at the request of someone else. He says do not assume that someone else is Obama.

There were names he did NOT want to say to the Fox gal.

Only that Barr has all the info. He said this at least twice.

I don’t have that link.

Yes, he clearly mentions Strzok as sending lower-level folks to tell him what to do. He said the hearings made it click for him. Prior to those public hearings, he wasn’t sure who it was. Now he’s convinced it was Strzok.

When talking to Cuomo he mentioned Comey and said Comey was Z of the X, Y, Z. He also said Comey was doing it at the request of someone else, but did not say who that was.
