How NBC News Killed A Negative Story Exposing The Informant Run Against The Trump Campaign

NBC News has a history of killing stories that don’t fit their narrative. The details of the Trump-Russia investigation are no exception.

Enter Stefen Halper, whose name has cropped up numerous times as one of the “informants” (i.e. spies) run against the Trump campaign in 2016. He made contact on behalf of the FBI/CIA with George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, and Sam Clovis. We’ve all been assured that such actions against American citizens were all on the up and up.

There’s another problem though. Halper is a conman and a liar who had no business being used by U.S. intelligence agencies as a source for anything.

The FBI informant who made contact with members of the Trump campaign has made allegations of Russian spy infiltration at the University of Cambridge that people involved in the matters have called “false” and “absurd.”

A Russian academic who worked at Cambridge with the informant, Stefan Halper, said he made “false allegations” about her interactions with former national security adviser Michael Flynn at an event the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar (CIS) hosted in February 2014.

Halper’s claim in December 2016 that Russians infiltrated CIS has also been called “absurd” by Christopher Andrew, the official historian for MI5 and head of CIS, the Financial Times reported.

While the above excerpt is from a May 2018 article, no evidence to further support Halper’s crazed accusations has come forth. The fact that the FBI/CIA were using such a person to target a presidential candidate is kind of a big deal. You’d think exposing Halper for who he is would have been the kind of story any self-respecting journalist would love to break. You’d be wrong though, as numerous publications and networks did everything in their power to protect Halper and continue to do so today.

The story of NBC’s involvement in that is laid out by Svetlana Lokhova.

She was born in Russia so she’s instantly really scary and must be working for Putin, but in reality, she’s just a longtime historian at Cambridge University and a British citizen. She’s also the woman Halper falsely accused of having an affair with Michael Flynn.

According to NYT, Halper, who was not identified by name in the report, “was alarmed by the general’s apparent closeness with a Russian woman who was also in attendance.” Halper’s complaints prompted a person close to him “to pass on a warning to the American authorities that Mr. Flynn could be compromised by Russian intelligence.”

But Lokhova said Halper’s assessment of her interaction with Flynn was inaccurate.

She also suggested on Twitter that Halper was a source for journalists who investigated stories about her interactions with Flynn. Her Twitter post linked to a March 18, 2017 article published by The Wall Street Journal, which made the first allegations about Flynn’s encounter with Lokhova.

That assertion was based on a single public dinner with Flynn, which even the Washington Post investigated and found there was nothing there. No affair occurred and it was the only interaction between Flynn and Svetlana to ever happen.

TheDCNF has also confirmed that Washington Post columnist David Ignatius looked into the allegations but did not run a story. On Wednesday, Ignatius published a column defending Halper as a “middleman” in a justified investigation of the Trump campaign.

There was no Russian conspiracy and Flynn talking for a few minutes with a Cambridge historian was not actually him being brought under Russian control. Halper, needing to smear Flynn though, spread the rumor in...

ELECTORAL INTERFERENCE: Democrats Push to Throw Trump Off 2020 Ballot in 18 States

Democrats are threatening to remove President Trump from the ballot in 2020 unless he gives away personal information to the public.

Now that FBI spook Robert Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation is over and yielded no evidence implicating President Trump, Democrats have moved onto Trump’s tax returns as the bogeyman threatening our electoral integrity.

Democratic-run states are even willing to jeopardize the integrity of the 2020 presidential election over their new witch hunt against the President. Eighteen liberal states are threatening to remove Trump from the ballot in 2020 if he does not release his tax returns.

The National Conference of State Legislatures reports on the Democratic collusion that may impact the next presidential election:

“As of February 20, 2017 legislators in 18 states (Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia) have introduced bills” to require “future presidential candidates to disclose income tax returns in order to be placed on the general election ballot.”

The Illinois Senate has already passed one version of the bill that would force candidates for president and vice president to submit the previous five years of tax returns that will be viewable to the public on the secretary of state webpage.

“If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn’t worry about anything,” said Democratic state Sen. Tony Munoz on the Senate floor, arguing for his electoral interference scheme.

Republican state Sen. Dale Righter noted that there have been two Supreme Court rulings that would make a measure such as this unconstitutional. He cited...

3 of the Most Telling Failures of Socialism

Some conservatives may be discouraged by the latest surveys confirming that nearly one-half of millennials are receptive to living under socialism and regard capitalism as a captive of greed. In fact, they present us with a golden opportunity to educate all Americans about the manifold failures of socialism and the miraculous advances the world has made under free enterprise.

For example, the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson revealed at a Heritage Foundation event that between 2000 and 2012, “the rate of absolute poverty in the world fell by 50%.” That is, “the poor in the world are getting rich at a rate that is absolutely unparalleled in all of human history.”

Heritage’s 2019 Index of Economic Freedom reported that the greatest advances came in African and Asian countries (such as Botswana and Taiwan) that limited rather than expanded the role of government. More than 100 countries, many of them with less developed or emerging economies, showed marked advances in economic growth and individual prosperity.

Such good news is seldom reported by the mainstream media, Peterson said, because of the technological revolution that’s occurring in every form of media. All the broadcast networks, leading newspapers, and magazines exist in a shrinking market with dwindling margins of profit. To attract attention they are turning to an old journalism axiom: “If it bleeds, it leads.”

The news media obsess over the latest school shooting and bloody street riot. And yet, Peterson pointed out, the rates of violent crime in the United States and in most places “have plummeted in the last 50 years.”

The U.S. is now safer than it has been since the early 1960s, but the reporting of violent crime in America has materially increased as the mainstream media, in pursuit of ratings and revenue, have highlighted the dark side of society.

Conservatives must step forward to tell the truth about capitalism: the better life it has brought to billions of people, the diversity and freedom of choice it celebrates, the individual responsibility it encourages, the continuing miracle of Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,” its rejection of government planning that always leads to dictatorship.

Which brings us to the urgent task of exposing the chimera that socialism is just another political system. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and their fellow socialists carefully omit any mention of the principles laid down by Karl Marx, the founding father of Socialism, such as the abolition of private property and the centralization of the means of production and of decision-making. But make no mistake: There are radical socialists waiting in the wings to promote these extreme initiatives.

It’s up to us to tell the truth. Socialists promise a classless society but create the prison camps of the Gulag and the Isle of Pines. They assure peace but engage in wars of national liberation. They abolish private property but depend upon the underground economy. They stamp out religion but worship Big Brother. They bring down corrupt dictators but institute a dictatorship of the Party.

Here are some of the most telling failures of socialism:

One, socialism has never succeeded anywhere, including the Marxism-Leninism of the Soviet Union, the National Socialism of Nazi Germany, the Maoism of Communist China, the Chavez-Maduro socialism of Venezuela. It has never come close to anywhere near Marx’s ideal of a classless society.

Two, Marx has been wrong about nearly everything he predicted. The nation-state has not withered away. Capitalism didn’t break down as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Workers haven’t become revolutionaries but capitalists. The middle class hasn’t disappeared; indeed, it has expanded exponentially around the world (see the above about the sharp decline in global poverty). Marx’s attempt to use Hegel to create a “scientific socialism” has been an abject failure.

Three, socialism denies the existence of an essential human trait—human nature. Marx borrowed from the Enlightenment to declare that...

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Trump administration should create an omnipresent “Office of the Inspector General” and hire Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch to run it.

They’d find so much corruption, and in record time, that no other oversight apparatus would be necessary.

Once again, the JW president has struck gold in his never-ending quest to get to the very bottom of what appears to be a bottomless pit of Obama-era corruption: Seems like our 44th president was not only well aware of Hillary Clinton’s criminal mishandling of highly classified emails, but he helped her cover it up.

As PJ Media‘s Debra Heine reported:

A former top FBI official has admitted under oath that a repository of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email records was obtained by the Obama White House and housed in the Executive Office of the President.

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch recently coaxed the admission out of the former assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, Bill Priestap, as part of a court-ordered discovery regarding Clinton’s unauthorized email server.

According to a JW press release:

U.S District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides, as well as Priestap, to be deposed or answer writer questions under oath. The court ruled that the Clinton email system was “one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.”

Priestap was asked by Judicial Watch to identify representatives of Hillary Clinton, her former staff, and government agencies from which “email repositories were obtained.” Priestap responded with the following non-exhaustive list:

Bryan Pagliano

Cheryl Mills

Executive Office of the President [Emphasis added]

Heather Samuelson

Jacob Sullivan

Justin Cooper

United States Department of State

United States Secret Service

Williams & Connolly LLP

So in other words, critics of the FBI’s and State Department’s earlier claims that they ‘couldn’t locate’ all of Clinton’s emails were right all along: They were spread over several government entities, at a bare minimum.

Priestap also testified that 48,982 emails were reviewed as a result of a warrant for Clinton email account information from the laptop of Anthony Weiner, who was married to top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, JW noted further.

All of Priestap’s responses are documented here.

“Priestap…is serving as assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division and helped oversee both the Clinton email and the 2016 presidential campaign investigations,” the press release states. “Priestap testified in a separate lawsuit that Clinton was the subject of a grand jury investigation related to her BlackBerry email accounts.”

Priestap was Peter Strzok’s boss, by the way.

“This astonishing confirmation, made under oath by...
