We’re Still Here, 1/20/17, Consumed Most of All by Our Fears
One of my favorite quotes includes the lines “I awoke this morning to find that it was not judgment day – only morning. Morning: excellent and fair.” I think that sums up a part of my thinking, but certainly not all.

Episode 312 – Obama: A Legacy of Ashes
[audio mp3="https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/episode312-lq.mp3"][/audio]Obama’s legacy is measured in ashes. From wars of aggression to a police state on steroids, banking bailouts and Obamacare, Obama has been the perfect captain to carry the New World Order football further down the field. But as Americans prepare for a new liner to be placed in their gilded bird cage, today we remember how the Deep State tricked the public in 2008 by giving them what they thought they wanted.

‘We will do NO press on this’ – CIA emails on Claire Danes’ first visit to Langley - Spy Culture
Newly-available emails show that when Claire Danes first visited CIA headquarters, she did so in very low-key fashion after a friendly CIA agent got her in. This confirms that the Agency have been involved in the production of Homeland since the first season, and shows how even their liaisons with the entertainment industry are sometimes done very quietly.

Does Russia Pose a Threat to the US?
Because it's not in Russia's best interests to do so, the Kremlin hasn't sought an unnecessary confrontation with the West. The suggestion that some Russians live in a Cold War era mindset easily applies to the US military industrial complex reared folks, harping on the supposed threat posed by Moscow. Thinking along their lines, some other Americans are subconsciously duped by their reliance on the overall US mass media image of Russia...

George Soros speaks to the global elites at Davos. Says Trump is a “dictator” and will “fail”
George Soros made his annual trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos and spoke with Bloomberg to express his view of the soon to be Trump presidency.
It should come as no surprise that Soros hates Trump. Trump stands to destroy the neo-liberal world order that Soros has so carefully crafted over the last eight years of Obama.
Soros tells Bloomberg that President Donald Trump will divide the America. -

Everything evil with US foreign policy expressed by US Senator Lindsey Graham in this stunning interview
War-hawk US Senator Lindsey Graham went on Tucker Carlson tonight to explain his view of the world, and America’s place in it.
Needless to say, Graham’s world view is complete BS, full of hypocrisy and lies.
Carlson calls him out a bit on his nonsense explanation relating to “Russian hacking”…but after watching the video, we felt that the softball comments being lobbed by Graham could have been crushed out of the park by Carlson if he so wanted to. -

Alibaba founder Jack Ma blasts Obama’s economic track record, “where did the money go?”
Jack Ma did not mince his words when laying blame for America’s deep troubles.
For the Alibaba founder, ‘don’t blame China for your woes America’…the United States is to blame for its problems by spending trillions of dollars to wage endless wars, instead of investing in its people and infrastructure.
America is certainly to blame for the issues it now faces, domestically and internationally. This is what eight years of Bush, and eight years of Obama gets you. -
13 year old Trump protestor tells Fox News, ‘screw our president’, as he sets fires outside National Press Club
The neo-liberal young, brought up in the church of liberalism.
The young protester, who looks to me to be about 13 years old, maybe I am off on the age thing, is burning stuff on the streets of DC and telling Fox News, ‘Screw our president!’
We wonder if this child even knows what he is protesting. We actually wonder if the adults at the Trump rally even understand what they are protesting. -

Chelsea Manning, A Heroine for Our Times
The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s sentence by President Barack Obama is bad politics – and, from my vantage point, the only moral act on his part that I can recall. It took balls to do this, and for that I have to give him credit. One has to also note that the timing here is […]

What the Clemency of Chelsea Manning Means About Obama

Intelligence Wars
There has been much in the media of late regarding the claims of Russian cyber hacking to influence the outcome of the recent American Presidential election. However, just as the Russian cyber hacking storyline has dominated the American and Western media, the bigger story here is the dubious activities of both American and British intelligence services and the politically partisan conflict that has engulfed the American intelligence community with the nakedly political interventions of both the FBI and CIA in the American political process...

Obama implies US intelligence community ‘doesn’t know’ how Wikileaks obtained DNC and Podesta emails
US President Obama in what was supposed to be his final press conference as President (it turns out he may be giving another one tomorrow morning) made a very interesting comment about the role of Wikileaks in the publication of the DNC and Podesta emails, which appears to cast doubt on the whole story of Russian interference in the US election.

CNN imagines assassination of Donald Trump and Mike Pence (VIDEO)
CNN have hit a new low. They have gone from a pro-Clinton mouthpiece to a fake news stalwart, and now they have devolved into a vulgar conspiracy minded ‘piece of garbage’.
That last epithet is of course what Donald Trump assigned to fake news outlet Buzzfeed.
CNN has just done a show fantasising about a mass assassination/terror attack during Donald Trump’s inauguration. -
