“Trump demands extradition of former MI6 officer Christopher Steele over Russia dossier”

'This man should be extradited, tried, and thrown into jail' Trump tweeted on Saturday



Well, Trump almost never opens his mouth without saying something outlandish or dishonest or stupid.

But the problem with America is much, much bigger than that.

Because the same thing is true of the major Democrats and of the major security agencies and of the major news services.

It’s just they don’t all do it with such loud noises and rude words.

But they do the same kinds of things.

As the completely phony recent story about the Russians and the Taliban shows us. Only one of many such creations, including the “hacking” of the Democratic National Committee’s computers.

And of course, Christopher Steele, a sleazy ex-British spy in the business of creating such products as the Trump "dossier" for big fees, was paid for the work by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

It is total corruption in America. Principles and ethics have been cast aside in the mad rush of the power establishment to serve the wealthy and maintain and expand an empire.

Response to a comment calling into question my characterization of the Taliban story as phony and saying I probably reject to Skripal attack too


It is laughable on its face that the Taliban would require bounties to kill Americans with whom they have been at war for 19 years.

And the story shows ignorance of how intelligence works.

Wire transfers?

My God, Afghanistan is swimming in US cash, cash from many things, including payoffs and bribes of every description,  but especially opium, which the former Taliban government had banned, but the US invasion brought roaring back to the extent that street prices dropped and violence among American city drug dealers soared owing to efforts to maintain or grab turf.

Spies pay for things in untraceable cash, just as does the Mafia, a closely related kind of oganization.

This phony story very likely has its origin from someone in the Afghan government security services wanting to sink the deal between the Taliban and the US.

And if you don't understand by now, you never will, Putin is too clever and careful to ever have such an operation undertaken.

He is a remarkable statesman.

And Theresa May’s Salisbury fairy tale never happened. I’ve studied the matter, and there is not one bit of real evidence. Indeed, there are dozens of contradictions in the official story.

And where are the Skripals? You know, the pair found on a bench, either pretending to be sick or sick from what was most likely a fentanyl overdose? British officials turned them into victims of Russian intelligence supposedly using an exotic nerve agent, with absolutely no proof, and they have not been heard from again. Talk about disappearing people.

An extremely dishonest and servile PM trying to give American authorities something to make them happy.
