CIA Review Reveals Obama Pushed Intel Community To Launch Trump-Russia Witch Hunt

President Barack Obama. Not CIA Director John Brennan. Not Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. And not FBI Director James Comey.

But President Barack Obama. The 44th president of the United States directed the intelligence community to interfere in the peaceful transition of power to his successor — Donald Trump.

And for that Obama should forevermore be considered a pariah in presidential history.

Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe released the agency’s review of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

The CIA’s review exposed extensive problems with “the procedures and analytic tradecraft employed” by the intelligence community in crafting the ICA, revealing at the same time the role Brennan, Clapper, and Comey played in the corrupt process.

However, the CIA’s review of the ICA on Russia’s targeting of the 2016 election exposed something much more scandalous: President Obama was behind the entire plot to portray Putin as seeking to help Trump win the 2016 general election.

Yes, the CIA report showed, in the words of CIA Director Ratcliffe, “how Brennan and Clapper and Comey manipulated [and] silenced all the career professionals and railroaded the process.”

But they were merely doing the dirty work for Obama, which is why CIA Director Ratcliffe stressed: “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’”

While last week’s CIA report did not finger President Obama with the same neon-light arrow deployed by Director Ratcliffe, the details included confirm that yes, “[t]his was Obama;” and not merely that Obama knew or condoned the politicalization of the intelligence community, but that the former president directed the politicalization….


Abortion cases illustrate Chief Justice’s concerns about ‘serious threats’ against judges

(Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Recent comments from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts criticized rhetoric from both sides of the aisle, saying it has led to threats against justices and judges — and this has been plainly seen in cases involving abortion.

Key Takeaways:

  • Roberts harshly criticized multiple political figures for their statements encouraging violence against judges.
  • One of the people Roberts seemed to be referencing was Senator Chuck Schumer, who publicly said that Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neal Gorsuch should “pay the price” for their positions on a Louisiana abortion case.
  • Kavanaugh was the target of an attempted assassination after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
  • Pro-abortion extremists have leaked the personal information of other pro-life Supreme Court justices to the public, including the schools their children attended.
  • Death threats have also been made against judges in lower courts who were involved with abortion-related cases.

The Details:

Speaking at a judicial conference, Roberts criticized comments coming from figures on both sides of the political aisle against judges for how they ruled in various cases. While it isn’t unusual for judges or rulings to be criticized, the threats have become much more direct in recent years as the rhetoric and the court decisions have contributed to intense reactions.

Roberts pointed out that threats of violence against judges are on the rise.

“It becomes wrapped up in the political dispute that a judge who’s doing his or her job is part of the problem,” Roberts said, adding that anyone “expressing a high degree of hostility to the court, on whatever basis” could be problematic.

He added:…


How Reagan’s intelligence overhaul was later used in a sneaky game-changing plot twist…

Once upon a time, America’s intelligence agencies were respected. Well, at least, that’s the fairy tale we’ve been told. But what we’ve actually witnessed over the last few decades is the slow, calculated transformation of the US intelligence community into a full-blown domestic psyop machine.

Forget spies fighting the bad guys overseas; these guys are now way too busy gaslighting you at home.

The Russia Hoax wasn’t just a smear campaign; it was a coordinated intelligence operation to destroy a sitting president. His only real crime was beating Hillary Clinton, the regime’s chosen one. Donald Trump didn’t come from their world. He didn’t play their games. And that kind of independent threat to power had to be crushed at all costs.

In the end, it didn’t work; Trump was still standing, but the damage was done. That elaborate hoax left deep scars and lasting shame on the country.

And let’s not forget January 6. That wasn’t just a protest that got a little out of hand; it was a federally concocted honey pot, set up to bait and destroy not just Trump, but everyone who dared stand with him. They wanted to wipe out President Trump and the entire MAGA movement in one fell swoop. It was the same blueprint, same players, same goal: obliterate the outsider and anyone who refuses to bend the knee to the progressive-globalist agenda.

This is a US intelligence community that’s decided it knows what’s best for you, and it’ll use everything from fake news to federal raids to make sure you obey. And the scariest part is that most people still have no idea how deep the rot goes.

But if you really want to understand when the tide started to turn, we’ve got to go back, not to Obama or Bush, but to Ronald Reagan…

Yes, the Reagan era brought a lot of wins, but also a lot of controversy. And one particular move unintentionally opened the floodgates for the mess we’re drowning in today. That move was the “restructuring” of the intelligence community… and the quiet creation of something called Internews….


July 6, 2025 – Cover Story: Exploited Children: Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson

As the U.S. has been inundated with a record number of illegal immigrants, the unaccompanied children crisis has also spiked. Unaccompanied children are those who cross illegally without a parent or guardian. The government typically pays to send them to a sponsor.

But whistleblowers say the sponsors are vetted through little more than an honor system, and the kids are sometimes trafficked into the hands of criminals and gangs.

In August, the Inspector General seemed to confirm the worst. In an urgent report, it said the government has lost track of more than 32,000 children over the last five years.

China buying up mines globally – FT

Chinese companies are buying more mines abroad than they have in over a decade to secure key raw materials as Western countries restrict their investments, the Financial Times has reported.

Ten deals each worth more than $100 million were signed last year, the highest since 2013, the outlet reported on Sunday, citing an analysis of S&P and Mergermarket data.

“The rise in dealmaking partly reflects China’s efforts to get ahead of the deteriorating geopolitical climate, which is making it increasingly unwelcome as an investor in key countries such as Canada and the US,” the FT quoted analysts and investors as saying.

Major deals reportedly included gold mines in Kazakhstan, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast, a copper mine in Zambia, a copper-gold mine in Brazil, and a 50% stake in a rare-earth project in Tanzania.

China is the leading refiner of rare earths, responsible for 90% of global processing capacity, and holds the world’s largest reserves of the critical elements.

Beijing has made mineral security a national strategic priority, as the global demand for lithium, cobalt, and nickel rises with the growth of clean energy and high-tech manufacturing….


Former Russian transport minister Roman Starovoit found dead hours after dismissal

Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead from an apparent suicide on Monday, hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin fired him from his job.

No reason was given for Starovoit’s dismissal, but it came after a Ukrainian air assault that may have significantly disrupted the country’s air industry.

The Russian Federal Agency for Air Transport said 485 flights were canceled, 88 were diverted, and 1,900 were delayed over the weekend and into Monday. The agency attributed the delays to “external interference.”

Starovoit was found in his car on the outskirts of Moscow, in Odintsovo, with a gunshot wound.

Russian media has reported his dismissal could be linked to an inquiry into the embezzlement of state funds allocated for building fortifications in Kursk. The embezzlement has been cited as one of the reasons for the region’s lack of border security.

When the Kremlin was asked whether the dismissal was due to a lack of confidence, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, “In the case of Starovoyt, there was no such wording.”…


Would-be kidnapper grabs boy, 6, off Coney Island street as screaming child’s parents chase him down, wild video shows

A brazen would-be kidnapper briefly scooped up a 6-year-old boy from a busy Coney Island sidewalk Sunday night — only to let him loose once the screaming child’s parents were hot on his tail, according to cops and wild video. 

The 36-year-old creep — seen wearing all black, including a bizarrely tall black hat — grabbed the boy just before 10 p.m. near the corner of Stillwell and Surf avenues, police said.

The sicko pounced on the child as he started trailing behind his parents, according to witness Nora Smiles, known as “The Sneaker Lady,” whose shop is right next to the scene.

“So a man came and he was trying to cut him off, then the little boy was trying to spin off of him,” Smiles told Freedomnews TV.

“The man just grabbed him up and started running with the little boy,” she said. 

The boy screamed and called out for his mom as the fiend scooped him up in one arm — prompting both parents to immediately spring into action, video obtained by Freedomnews shows….

An armed man wearing tactical gear launched an apparent ambush early in the morning on Monday, July 7, at a U.S. Border Patrol annex building in McAllen, Texas, near the city’s international airport. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the suspect entered the Rio Grande Valley Sector Annex and opened fire on federal agents.

Border Patrol agents and local police returned fire, killing the gunman. A source close to the investigation told Telemundo 40, “He’s down. We’re fine.” Authorities have not identified the shooter or confirmed a motive.

No Border Patrol agents were injured in the exchange. However, a McAllen police officer was struck during the gunfight. Authorities say the officer is in stable condition.

McAllen Police spokesman John Sáenz told Telemundo 40 that investigators are still processing the scene and plan to release more information soon.

CBP issued a brief statement confirming the fatal shooting and said additional details will be shared as the investigation continues….
