The Real News: Is Trump Betraying the American People?

What does Trump really think about Russia? Does he understand it, or not?

Is the Russia Russia hysteria a serious threat?

Or is the neoliberalism of the American oligarchy and their Russian counterparts the greatest threats?

The transcript of this interview will be available at The Real News.

Bill Binney In His Own Words: 'A Collaborative Conspiracy to Subvert the Government of the US'

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

William Edward Binney is a former highly placed intelligence official with the United States National Security Agency (NSA) turned whistleblower who resigned on October 31, 2001, after more than 30 years with the agency.

He was a high-profile critic of his former employers during the George W. Bush administration, and later criticized the NSA's data collection policies during the Barack Obama administration.

In 2016, he said the U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election was false.

Wikipedia, Bill Binney

Because of his analysis in conjunction with Veteran Intelligent Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) that has tended to carefully debunk the Russia Russia narrative, Binney has not been given much airtime on certain channels within the mainstream news media.  So like you I had not heard of him except recently when reading something else.

I found this recent interview to be very interesting.  I am not qualified or sufficiently well-informed to assess it, but listen to it for yourself and see what you think. It would seem to be worth your time at least.

He has some good things to say about Donald Trump and draining the swamp. And you know how I feel about his Presidency. So there must be something there for me to find it worth hearing.

He discussed a number of controversial topics including 9/11, etc.

Binney certainly has the right pedigree to be an informed whistleblower, and he has never been brought to heel or silenced, so he must have something going for him.  He does seem to be extraordinarily well-informed. I would imagine that if it was possible that he would be charged or discredited or smeared.

Stocks climbed higher today led by big cap tech, which in turn was led by Apple, which managed to close as the first trillion dollar market cap US stock. Huzzah!

The US Dollar managed to close over the 95 handle again on expectations that the Fed will keep raising rates because of our strong recovery.

Gold and silver sold off a bit in anticipation of the Non-Farm Payrolls report tomorrow, as hedge funds pile in on the short side of the futures.

The Trump EPA has decided to bailout the US auto manufacturers, and the middle finger to consumers and the environment, and is rolling back fuel efficiency and emission targets.  Yay us!

Did anyone else notice that Russia is positioning its military on the border of Syria and the Golan Heights?   I think not.

Need little, want less, love more. For those who abide in love abide in God, and God in them.

Non-Farm Payrolls Report tomorrow.

Have a pleasant evening.
