Is the Pope an Argentine Marxist and globalist factotum?

The deal was negotiated between CIA and the Russian security agencies. I very strongly doubt that the CIA would have gotten involved if it was just an innocent journalist.

And he used to be the one they wanted back the most. You don't get more CIA than that. All clues point there. There's no public presentation of evidence to top it off because it's normal in spy games, but in this case there's no reason to doubt when they say they got him red-handed.

The fact that the Biden/obama/harris administration made a deal & it wasn’t for a lesbian of color tells that he was a US spy. Look at Afghanistan - they could give a shit about rescuing Americans.

Trump surrendered to the Taliban and it was the right decision…cry more, neocon!!

What does it say about me, when in this instance, I trust Putin far more than the corrupt enterprise of the Soviet States of Divided Amerika? A no longer constitution Republic with a democratically elected government that jails American journalists, political rivals, spies on citizens, arrests parents of rape victims at school board meetings, abortion protesters who pray, surveils American citizens, prosecutes political competitiors, stages fake kidnappings,, places undercover Feds in the JK crowd and foments riots… Interferes in elections and policies in foreign nations to foment chaos- in the case of Israel, distraction Bibi from advanced know of the Hamas massacre, playing both sides funding Red/Green Alliance CommunoIslamoFascist Jihad Protests- Queers and Fatties for Hamas a fave. If SNL was still funny or relevant, the skits would be writing themselves

Just a normal person, I presume. I mean, Putin's track record has been pretty open and straightforward so far, especially given the environment he operates in. When not deliberately telling a white lie he usually is uncharacteristically honest for his rank.

In addition, the current Biden regime uses the Secret Service agents to assassinate the major opposition leader in the coming election.

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

The assassin was a bitter clinger MAGA Deplorable….Obama and Hillary profiled him perfectly!

Yang Ming Mountain's avatar

@Rufo, By the way, after so much information has been uncovered, you still believe that Crooks was the assassin? You must be an evil, moronic Dem.

Yang Ming Mountain's avatar

People like you are really deplorable. Because you believe the blatant lies from the imbecile who is the acting director of Secret Disservice.

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

You should visit Russia! 😂

At least this deal was better than the disgusting exchange of Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout a couple years ago.

Gershkovich is an unfettered journalist as Navalny was an opposition candidate of his own making. The “ Russian” poisoning of the Skripals using the signature Cold War toxin, novachuk …and “ miraculously “ survived. Or Trump/Flynn/KT McFarland,/Ezra Watnick-Cohen,/Roger Stone,/Giuliani,/Tulsi Gabbard/ Steve Bannon/George Papadapoulis/ Kash Patel/Carter Page/ Hope Hicks/ Devin Nunes/ Julian Assange/ Dana Rohrbacher/ Lara Logan/Victoria Toensig/Joe DiGenova and James O’Keefe are “Russian Agents.”

And the UN is a peacekeeping organization, the WEF is about free trade , peace, love, happiness and prosperity for the global economy and all the little people, the WHO is all about a healthy, robust population and disease eradication and… drumroll… Bill Gates, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Tim Cook, Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, the Rockefellers, Gettys, Pritzkers, Goldman/Gelbers,Carnegies, Clintons, McCains,Family Bush, Reid Hoffman, Koch,George Clooney , Klaus Schwab are “ Philanthropists”.

Thank you for assembling such a great summary.

Gail's avatar

You’re most welcome. I have a very bizarre memory retention for minutiae. But I can’t remember scheduled meetings, appointments, to pick up prescriptions, where I placed my keys, documents, wedding rings, wallet… Its awful.

URsomoney's avatar

You forgot the Warburgs - apparently much wealthier than the rothchilds but apparently stealthier because nobody knows/mentions them.

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

Except you!! But you probably voted for Bush/Cheney and so a lot of good your knowledge did you!?!

Now do Paul Whelan. When he was arrested, I was impressed by how purely spy-like his profile was: ex-military with less-than-honorable discharge; vague international business of some sort; possessed several passports. Or maybe that background is evidence of innocence because the CIA would come up with a less suspicious cover?

Gail's avatar

Absolutely! Never doubted it.Bill Browder is another piece of work.

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

Plus Trump let him rot in prison.

MarianneK's avatar

Come on. He works for CIA.

Given that the WSJ deleted the critical part of Trump's speech to the Christian group, I would have to say yes.

Hi Jordan,

An unconvincing and idiotic conclusion based on practically nonexistent evidence. If this is the way you think about major issues, I’ll skip your future articles without any hesitation.

it wouldn’t be a stretch. i mean, media personalities have aligned themselves with government instead of remaining unquestionably independent.

Would be nice if a sting operation were done here to spy on those Chinese who acquired land near US military bases.

Neal Bush has been on China’s payroll for at least 25 years. The Bush family was very open about wanting to make China great again but Republicans gave him a pass because he loved Jesus!

Inverted Pyramid's avatar

First, I dislike the Bush family especially Papa Bush.

Second, IMO families of the Executive branch should be barred from acting as Foreign Agents due to conflict of interest.

Third, when someone is accused of “... has been on China’s payroll...”. What exactly does that mean? Is it a company, if yes, then what company? Is it the country, if yes, then how do you know?

George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations. He is the third of five children of President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush. He and his wife Maria live in Houston, Texas and have six children.

Mr. Bush has been involved with energy, real estate and international business development for four decades beginning in 1980. For the past 25 years, Mr. Bush has engaged in various international business development activities with a focus on China. He first visited China in 1975 when his father was the chief liaison officer representing the United States in Beijing. His business and personal interests have allowed for many return trips over the years. Since 1975, Mr. Bush has traveled to China over 140 times and has visited over 40 cities.

Jamal Khashoggi, Washington Post Reporter, killed at an embassy for looking into a regime’s misdoings.

Daniel Pearl, WSJ Reporter, killed in Pakistan for looking into connections to Richard Reid, the shoe bomber.

137+ Reporters have been killed in Gaza since 10-2-2023.

Project Mockingbird, a CIA Operation, targeted personnel for placement within media companies.

It would seem to me that the ideal spy would have a lower profile than Gershkovich. That said, cavorting around in a country at war that is notoriously hard on those who disagree with its policies might not be the smartest thing to do if you want to stay out of their prison system...

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

So…Valerie Plame??? A woman married to an ambassador wouldn’t make a great spy?? 😉

Ransom Frank Glew's avatar

I don't remember enough about Valerie Plame to comment on her specifically but there has long been a symbiotic relationship between nations diplomatic corps and their intelligence services, the latter using the former as cover. My point was that, in my view, the ideal spy would not even be noticed by the target nation. They would fly under the radar, quietly gathering intel and passing it covertly back to their home country...

Pangolin Chow Mein's avatar

Apparently her husband Joe Wilson drank himself to death…great way to go! 😉

"Leaving Las Vegas" must be a favorite of yours...

When I need to cheer myself up I watch that or Manchester by the Sea…so heartwarming!!
