In mid-2014, the IRA sent employees to the United States on an intelligence-gathering mission with instructions HARM TO ONGOING MATTER
Get that? The Russian agency seeking to control the political environment of the USA was sent to the USA on an intelligence gathering mission. Not only did they come to gather intelligence, which could be a simple as "What is a babysitter?," but they had instructions. Whom did they have instructions from? It is my estimation at least the oligarch, but, who then gave the oligarch instructions? Putin. We know for a fact Putin had an active interest in controlling the political environment in the USA because he stated that if Clinton was elected there would be a nuclear war and if Trump was elected there would be peace.
First, is there peace? No.
Second, stop to realize that the president of Russia who has been there at least as long as Lenin
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Born - 22 April 1870 – Died - 21 January 1924), better known by the alias Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1922 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924.
Lenin ruled Russia for what was that, 7 years? Putin was voted into office since 2000. I think it was 2000. The poor boy raised within the Russian tradition came to be a respected member of the KGB and continued his rise to power the rest of his life. His influence never ended once he was at the pinnacle of his career as the president of Russia. Even when he was out of office after two terms, the man ? elected ? to the presidency was Putin's Prime Minister.
So, here we are now reading a report from the highly esteemed Robert Mueller and his Special Counsel and what is occurring? Russia left St. Petersburg because the USA is not completely Europe. The USA has a particularly unique culture of "The Cowboy" that resonates strongly in the USA political culture of the Right Wing. The resonation was so strong that they sent a woman pretending to be a foreign exchange student to become a trusted member of the NRA. They not only sent a woman to infiltrate the NRA, but they also sent lots and lots of money, too.
THAT is a methodology. It is not a good methodology. Putin's Russia has absolutely no respect for the American people or it's culture, it only wants to control it, both domestically and internationally.
I wrote a strange and funny thing. ? elected ? because the elections in Russia are controlled to even the point where the ballot boxes are stuffed. The elections in Russia are guaranteed to turn out the same way, the support of a communist government and there is no end in sight. In the USA a communist can run for president and there is probably one on the ballot during every election, but, that doesn't mean they will ever reach the presidency. If anything showing the world that every political belief in the world has a place in the USA only proves how strong we are as a country in that we adhere to our democracy and the freedom it affords us. The 2016 election changed that. We as a country need to know how it was achieved and why!
For those that read this blog ask yourselves if Russia would allow the freedom the USA allows in it's electoral process and the answer is a firm NO. Why even begin to entertain the idea that Mueller, the Special Counsel or the report is not an important event in our history?
The IRA later (after their trip to the USA to study the culture of the USA) used social media accounts and interest groups to sow discord in the U.S.
political system through what it termed "information warfare." (Cyber was now a tool, a methodology of Russian intelligence. Not a passive intelligence, but, a very active intelligence intended to end the USA Constitution.) The campaign evolved from a
generalized program designed in 2014 and 2015 to undermine the U.S. electoral system, to a
targeted operation that by early 2016 favored candidate Trump and disparaged candidate Clinton. (Vladimir Putin himself disparaged Clinton. Don't ignore that.) The IRA' s operation also included the purchase of political advertisements on social media in the
names of U.S. persons and entities, as well as the staging of political rallies inside the United
States. To organize those rallies, IRA employees posed as U.S. grassroots entities and persons and
made contact with Trump supporters and Trump Campaign officials in the United States. The
investigation did not identify evidence that any U.S. persons conspired or coordinated with the
IRA. Section II of this report details the Office's investigation of the Russian social media
campaign.
Why would any president of the United States of America obstruct the findings of this report or a US Attorney General conspire to carry out that presidential directive?
