Bill Kristol's Money-Grifting Gollum Jonathan V. Last: You Know Who's Really Implicated by The Arrest of Crossfire Hurricane FBI Agent Charles McGonical for Taking Money from a Russian Oligarch?
Donald Trump, That's Who.

Speaking of liberals who lie because their liberal audience pays them to lie: The Dispatch and The Bulwark have made no mention of the exposé about the Hamilton68 lies they promoted. Even Twitter realized that all Hamilton 68 was doing was taking typical Trump/conservative leaning chatter and claiming that "RUSSIAN AGENTS" are behind it all, or at least amplifying it.

Matt Taibbi posted proof that the "RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS" Hamilton 68 claimed proved "RUSSIAN MANIPULATION" are almost all just American, British, and Canadian critics of The Regime.

I expected that.

What I was not expecting was effeminate Regime courtier Jonathan Last to claim that the arrest of the FBI agents who initiated Crossfire Hurricane for taking Russian money was not a black eye for his team of Russiagate Conspiracy Peddlers, but in fact very bad news for Donald Trump, as Charles McGonigal's arrest proves just how deep the Russiagate Conspiracy goes.

How, you might wonder?

Simple: Jonathan V. Last strongly insinuates -- these cowards won't commit themselves to Russiagate Conspiracy Theories because they're tired of having their past statements thrown in their faces, so now they just insinuate so they can say, "I never said that" -- that Charles McGonigal was a RUSSIAN AGENT, sure, but he was a RUSSIAN AGENT paid off to deliberately tank the Trump Russiagate investigation.

That's what he's insinuating. Russiagate was all true and none of us have anything to apologize for for promoting Hillary Clinton Conspiracy Theories for six years; and we'd have the poof of that, except that Oleg Deripaska, who must be some kind of Trump Kremlin Handler, paid off Charles McGonigal to make sure the proof never came to light.


Here are the people who rail against "conspiracy theories in which the absence of evidence is taken to be the final proof of the conspiracy" deciding that the absence of evidence for their Russiagate fantasies just proves the conspiracy is worse than we ever imagined.

1. The Real Deep State

Timothy Snyder's newsletter has become invaluable over the course of the war in Ukraine. But he has insights about American politics, too.

This week he discussed the arrest of FBI agent Charles McGonigal:


On 23 January, we learned that a former FBI special agent, Charles McGonigal, was arrested on charges involving taking money to serve foreign interests. One accusation is that in 2017 he took $225,000 from a foreign actor while in charge of counterintelligence at the FBI's New York office. Another charge is that McGonigal took money from Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch, after McGonigal's 2018 retirement from the FBI. Deripaska, a hugely wealthy metals tycoon close to the Kremlin, "Putin's favorite industrialist," was a figure in a Russian influence operation that McGonigal had investigated in 2016. Deripaska has been under American sanctions since 2018. Deripaska is also the former employer, and the creditor, of Trump's 2016 campaign manager, Paul Manafort.

The reporting on this so far seems to miss the larger implications. . . . In 2016, Trump's campaign manager (Manafort) was a former employee of a Russian oligarch (Deripaska), and owed money to that same Russian oligarch. And the FBI special agent (McGonigal) who was charged with investigating the Trump campaign's Russian connections then went to work (according to the indictment) for that very same Russian oligarch (Deripaska). This is obviously very bad for Trump personally. But it is also very bad for FBI New York, for the FBI generally, and for the United States of America.

In other words, it's bad for Trump that the man who was "fixing" his problems in the FBI has gotten arrested.

Don't worry, it gets even worse, Last says, just loving this latest conspiracy theory.

Don't worry. It gets worse.

The reason I was thinking about Trump and Putin back in 2016 was a pattern that I had noticed in eastern Europe, which is my area of expertise. Between 2010 and 2013, Russia sought to control Ukraine using the same methods which were on display in 2016 in its influence operation in the United States: social media, money, and a pliable candidate for head of state. . . .

Trump and Yanukovych were similar figures: nihilistic, venal, seeking power to make or shield money. This made them vulnerably eager partners for Putin. And they had the same chief advisor: the American political consultant Paul Manafort. . . .

Anne Applebaum once put the question the right way: why didn't the FBI investigate Trump's connections to Putin much earlier? In retrospect, it seems as though the FBI investigation of Trump's campaign and its Russian connections in 2016 was not only late, but weirdly understated.

"We were so right about Russiagate that we didn't even know how right we were!!!"

Read the whole thing.

If the McGonigal allegations are proven, then we have an entirely new set of problems. Not just that one political party was willing to become the cat's paw of a foreign government, but that a key part of America's law enforcement apparatus was in on the game.

Russia bought off the FBI to exonerate Trump you guys. We were always right, but the RUSSIAN AGENTS in the FBI destroyed all the evidence!

The Bulwark is always denying the Deep Staters they play Mob Lawyers for exist, but now, Jonathan Last says, we have proof of an actual Deep State: The one being run by the Kremlin for Trump's benefit.


In other words: An actual Deep State.

As always, projection is the sincerest form of Trumpism.

A member of his political team, Team Crossfire Hurricane 4Ever, got arrested taking money from a Russian oligarch, and it's a black eye for those who said these guys were corrupt, and this just proves that it's the Trumpists who are guilty of "projection."

114 Manafort replaced the Michelle Fields arm breaker to corral delegates in the 2016 National Convention. The media started harping on Manafort's ties to Russia and Trump dumped him for Kelly Ann Conway during the convention.

I think Manafort worked for Trump only about three months.

I still remember when Trump picked Manafort to replace the arm breaker, CTH posted an all caps headline, MANAFORT, and then spent pages saying why this was such a great move by Trump.

There is often a disconnect with deductive logic solely from non-observed "facts" rather than actual experience. You can gather good information from a liar or propagandist or from other tainted sources but it usually requires substantial knowledge in the first place to determine whether the source is tainted and what filter should be used to draw out what information is probable from these sources.

The most recent updates on the Twitter Files reveal on Friday that the FBI set up a dashboard called 'Hamilton 68' to falsely accuse "a bunch of legitimate right-leaning accounts of being Russian bots," former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth said in an email shared by Matt Taibbi, a journalist who exposed the corrupt ties between the FBI and the social media platform.

He claimed "compartmentalization" would allow for all that, and the Astronauts, being good soldiers, just followed orders. I asked what about the lunar mapping satellites, that show the landing sites, footprints, rover tracks and hardware. I guess those are fake too, etc.

245 Hey, Oddbob.

You remember how I over-torqued my loading gate screw on my 1894 and sheared it off? I got that fixed a little while ago, but I also decided to do a little digging online.

I found out that particular screw is a #4-40 course thread 3/16" long. I went on McMaster Carr and found a screw there that is way stronger than stock, about the same as a grade 8 bolt. I bought a set of ten and replaced the stock screw.

I'm still going to torque to spec, but it's good insurance.

258 None of this nonsense is going to matter when things really go sideways. It's all intended to position us for that event in a way that the left thinks they'll win.

I think they're making a grave mistake equating effectiveness in manipulating narratives and rose-tinted BS white papers with what it's going to take to actually win.

They're too divorced from what keeps the lights on, food on the table, and water coming out of the tap. As a typical example: look how the "elite" are unconcerned about destroying western vehicle products and infrastructure. They assume they can price personal transport out of reach of the peasants but have no fear at all of collapsing the quality of the product, or ruining the day-to-day support network that makes using them possible. A car is just something they throw money at for someone else to drive them around.

I laid out very carefully in early 2020 what was happening to our Information Stream and our society, through behavior modification, almost hypnotic suggestion, and excessive fear mongering. That COOF was the tool by which they were delivering a mind control (for lack of a better term) op.

I predicted what the result would be - a docile, confused populace who would much more easily tolerate senseless "novel information" (such as - as it turns out - men can be women, or it's racist to not be racist).

I specifically said to watch for what this "new information" would be, that it would appear "out of nowhere" in mid to late 2020, to be followed by even more of it every six months or so, because it was on its way to us whether we Iike or not. I said the appearance and subsistence of such crazy insane narratives, above all else, would be the proof that I was correct.

Chem 1 at Berkeley had an experiment in which students carried out a reaction of Cu metal with elemental sulfur, and tried to determine the composition of the product.

The results were fascinating. Out of 1200 students (yeah, big class) roughly half plumped for Cu2S, and the other half for CuS, but there was a perfect Gaussian distribution covering all possibilities, even including pure Cu to pure S. The funny part is the mean and the median corresponded precisely to the correct stoichiometry, Cu(x)S with x ~0.5 (IIRC), as the product is a non-stoichiometric compound.

399 Heard there is also a group that does not believe that Man can fly. Airplanes are a conspiracy.

With how crazy things are now -- and I mean literally insane as in mentally deranged, not "wow that's crazy!" -- its easy to start looking back and wondering about other conspiracy theories.

But it wasn't always this insane. That's important to remember, things are this crazy now, but have not been that way forever. Just 10 years ago people said you were stupid and demented if you said a man can be a woman just because he feels like it. 15 years ago even homosexual activists mocked the idea of two dudes getting married. Things have CHANGED.

I will say that flying has a weird sense of displacement and disbelief. I remember when we went to Rome and that day we had flown out of New Jersey and yet here we were standing in St Peter's square. It had a sense of unreality to it.

Did not have that when I went to Japan. Of course, I had not seen 100s of photos and movies that I could recognize of Japan.

422 Difference is, I don't like to, and I try to not repeat the same sin. I strive to be Christ-like, but always come up short.

Sinclair Ferguson teaches (and I believe he is right) that its not true repentance if you don't change. You don't become perfect, you don't stop sinning, you probably even do the same sin you repented of. But you change, even if just a little, you try a bit harder, you fight a bit more, you sin a bit less, you feel a bit more guilt.

The Puritans called it "besetting sin" which means the kind of sin that particularly is a struggle for each person. It varies for each of us, it could be really obvious like gambling or adultery or swearing, it could be internal like pride or anger, but I think we all have at least one sin that we fall prey to and fight all our lives, one especially hard fight.

I put homosexuality into that category: this is a sin that the homosexual has to battle all their lives and it is brutally difficult to deal with. Modern society instead endorses and supports, even mandates these sins.

429 I did come across an interesting variation of the "moon landing was faked" conspiracy theory. In summary, US astronauts did go to the moon, but it was a one-way trip ie the people who "came back" weren't the ones sent there, who perished for the greater good of showing the superiority of American tech against the Soviets.

It's like having your cake and eating it too, as you can then say the moon landing was partially faked.


My favorite Moon Landing Conspiracy is the one where they hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the landing, and he insisted on maximum realism by shooting everything on location.

Tricky stuff. We had a guy try to land and didn't realize that he couldn't put a helicopter on our flight deck if it weighed too much. It could capsize the cutter. Tipping point is too high. Had to wave him off as he approached.
