Christopher Steele is at it again

The New Neo Posted on by

It worked so well the first time, he figures he might as well have a rerun, this time in the UK:

Christopher Steele became famous in the United States as the author of a “dossier” that claimed Russians had been “cultivating, supporting, and assisting” Donald Trump “for at least 5 years.”

Now Steele is back, claiming that the Russians have been cultivating the Tories and Boris Johnson for . . . five years.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Ah, but Steele can. And despite his preposterous claims, he nearly brought down a president – or at least it looked for a while as though he might do so:

…[T]he whole shooting match should have ended once the world got a chance to read Steele’s reports. Any sane person’s Malcolm Gladwell-Blink reaction to these memos would be that they were lunatic conspiratorial horseshit…

No part of this Clintonian 9/11 Truth tale of a world riddled with plotters united by the same statistically rare urge to treason (and the same strategic instinct to create unnecessary layers of felony witnesses) has ever been proved: not the “moles in the DNC and hackers in the U.S.,” nor any of the sleeper émigré conduits, nor the sophisticated Russian hackers in Prague who for some reason needed the direction of the medallion taxi owner/Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

Trump aides Page and Paul Manafort, named as key conduits, managed to keep their conspiracy to act as intelligence go-betweens hidden even from secret FISA monitoring, the vast Chinese swindles never emerged, and no one ever found those cutout consular officials, whom Steele in an interview with a State Department official seemed to have believed were being paid out of a nonexistent Russian consulate in Miami.

And yet Steele is back for another go-round.

Christopher Steele is at it again — 26 Comments

  1. The most interesting question about Steele and his infamous dossier is how much of his misinformation/disinformation really came from Russia and how much might have been derived from Ukraine. It is obvious that the real foreign collusion in 2016 was between Hillary/DNC and various Ukrainian sources.

  2. You can’t make this stuff up.

    You dont have to, as it already happened once before!!!
    they are just repeating history you dont know, or ignored (when i detailed it), or forgot it, or whatever answer you wont complain about that indicates it isnt on the table.

    You would have to delve into the defectors (you avoid, and their history) and what they caused to happen by the people who knew they were right, and acted on it… and weren’t too big on celebrating loudly – as they just wanted it to be forgotten by the people

    (which as i said, is why its not on the table, any more than your knowing Munzenberg, or Frieda Utley who Ronald Reagan spoke of highly and now is erased like statues by al qaeda, or similar in the US, or how feminists removed books from the libraries, stuff that would be interesting and revealing if one knew where the directions were to find it)

    Steele just knows history in detail (or his handlers do)
    as i know history in detail (as i do anything i read given my memory)
    and so remember what was erased from your memory (or never was there)

    Do you remember when i covered it?

    not being very creative, the exist and work by repeating history the same way science repeats experiments to the same outcomes: Scientific socialism

    So whatever they are doing, is either by accident, or from history
    this is the mechanism of why history repeats… there has to be one..

    Given that i am tired and your tired, and everyone is tired
    [paraphrasing the scene from Caberet]

    the players.. Micheal Foot, Thatcher, Reagan, And the defector of many that you never discuss or go over, Oleg Gordievsky (who i mentioned yesterday before these threads were started)

    its covered in a book that wont be read:
    The Spy and the Traitor: The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War

    How A KGB Double Agent Saved Britain And Won The Cold War For The West

    Labor Party leader, member of Parliament, and former employment secretary Michael Foot had been a paid KGB agent for decades, and was still on the KGB books as an agent of influence when he headed the British Labor Party and ran against Thatcher for leadership of England in 1983. Foot would have become prime minister if Labor had won.

    So what is being implied is doing so by the fact that it happened before, the brits know it, we dont, and they will believe it because of prior evidence

    you dont have to make it up.. the unbelievable happened already
    we just ignore the memos that matter… and especially certain players that have the answers, so we dont have answers (not an inclusive we, i know this stuff, and so i sit here dumbfounded, and why i am going to go pop some popcorn)

  3. How did MI6 know Foot was a KGB agent? Because the KGB deputy station chief in London Oleg Gordievsky told MI6 he was. Not only that, Gordievsky accompanied the news with specific information from a fat file he’d examined at length in the Lubyanka, the KGB’s headquarters and torture prison, leaving no doubt that Foot was a rat. Why did Gordievsky do it? Because Oleg Gordievsky was a British spy. He’d been working for MI6 for years at that point.

    Gordievsky learned that Foot had been paid large sums by the KGB in the 1960s, most of which he used to fund the Democratic Socialist magazine Tribune. In return, Foot delivered information on Labor Party activities along with government intelligence once he became privy to it, and put out whatever propaganda Moscow required of him. Foot’s traitorous complicity with Moscow was revealed in the mid-1990s, when Gordievsky published his highly readable memoir, Next Stop Execution.

    He supplied MI6 with lists of KGB operatives (including sleeper agents) in the UK.

    He outed all KGB agents in Britain (including the MI6’s own nascent spy, Michael John Bettany)

    He outed one in France, and two in Denmark—which led to multiple arrests

    He explained to MI6 exactly how Soviet intelligence worked and how people within its labyrinthine walls thought
    [important given that this blog tried to fathom that kind of thing all the time but prefers to make up stuff or do its own analysis missing lots of details!!]

    Gordievsky was able to lucidly report on the mindset of supreme Soviet leadership, including Yuri Andropov and later Mikhail Gorbachev, and his reports had a significant influence on Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.

    this is the last part as i covered this before about their seriousness and its in the last sentence

    Thatcher called him “Mr. Collins.” She eagerly read his reports and worried about him in his precarious position in the Soviet embassy. The Soviets did not merely imprison their traitors in the ranks. One slip, and Thatcher’s Mr. Collins would be dead. As MacIntyre reminds us, the rumor has always been that MI6-CIA agent Oleg Penkovsky, betrayed by British-spy-turned-Soviet-agent George Blake, had been cremated alive in 1963 by the KGB after they were done torturing him.

    Making the odd things with James Bond prior to his liberalization kind of more real than we think..

    the article i am quoting is in the federalist…
    its VERY long… so i cant write much..
    but given i covered it previously, its redundant..

    We also know Sein Fien stuff too thanks to another Thatcher spy: Agent 3007

    all kind of juicy stuff we expect liberal and left press to tell us?
    really?

  4. One can hope the British public won’t buy this nonsense. I can see how the Russians might have cultivated Labour. The idea of their grooming Tory leadership, and Johnson, doesn’t sound credible. And of course it’s Steele, who has a record for unreliable information.

  6. And back to credulity and credibility

    [i think this next one is kind of popcorn funny given the history
    also, given how much Romanians dislike communism… no suprise]

    Columbia professor who fled communism resigns, says university is becoming communist
    https://www.thecollegefix.com/columbia-professor-who-fled-communism-resigns-says-university-is-becoming-communist/

    A Romania-born academic says he recently left his tenured position at Columbia University because the Ivy League school is “on its way toward full blown communism,” according to a Romanian TV interview translated by a Romanian-American immigrant.

    [snip]

    The TV host expresses incredulity at multiple points in the interview, seemingly shocked that the American higher education system is headed toward communism.

    Serban fled from the ideology, which ruled Romania for much of the 20th century.

    [snip]

    Serban says in the interview that after a faculty member retired, the remaining professors in the department were called in to a meeting to discuss a replacement.

    It was at this meeting that the dean of the art school told them that there were “too many white professors, too many heterosexual men,” and that it would be best to hire a minority or a woman, or a gay man.

    Serban, who was the director of the hiring committee, says that he was told that it could not be someone like him because he is a man that has been “married, a heterosexual man who has children.”

    The professor says that he then asked if they could choose a straight white male if the most qualified candidate happened to be so, and was promptly told that they could not. “I felt like I was living under communism again,” he said.

  8. The impeachment is now falling apart BIG TIME!

    Taylor also testified that his knowledge of the phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymr Zelensky wasn’t first-hand knowledge.

    “And this isn’t firsthand. It’s not secondhand. It’s not thirdhand,” Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., said to Taylor. “But if I understand this correctly, you’re telling us that Tim Morrison told you that Ambassador Sondland told him that the president told Ambassador Sondland that Zelensky would have to open an investigation into Biden?”

    “That’s correct,” Taylor admitted.

    I posted title and link in the Whistleblower piece..
    but then i read more and more, and it was too good NOT to include

    Testimony Transcript Shows William Taylor Never Talked To Trump, Wasn’t Even On July 25 Phone Call
    A top anti-Trump witness for House Democrats admitted he wasn’t on the July 25 phone call and had never even spoken with Trump about Ukraine military aid.

  9. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results: insanity. The left is in the throes of TDS, it has driven the left into a deep delusional state of emotional turmoil. They can‘t accept the fact that the crazy, bastard Trump out foxed them in 2016. That he keeps to continue to out fox them produces rage in their emotional turmoil.

  10. Artfldgr,

    We have a rotary phone on our kitchen wall. Clearer sound than any digital phone. Sometimes analog tech trumps digital.

  11. It’s a good thing if Labour support is collapsing. I hear that Nigel Farage, having been unable to get Johnson to agree to ditch the deal, is running Brexit candidates, but focusing on campaigning in Labour constituencies. If they ended up with a Tory-Brexit coalition government, Brexit might actually get done.

  12. Reuters News Service is reporting tonight that the prostitutes from the infamous “Steele Dossier” are scheduled to testify at the impeachment hearings next week. The women, Ivana Pissallovaya and her sister, Imgonna Pissallovaya, will be accompanied by their lawyer, Boris Bladderoff, a specialist in Urinary Tart Lawya. Bladderoff says the sisters will expose Trump’s Urine demands.

  13. Parker,
    I have a push button slimline phone that has been in use since they first came out and you had to rent them. (there was a market for phones at that time, as you could not get an extension phone with out paying more)

    I regret not taking a small rotary box phone we used in the apartment building basement when we moved that grand dad put in in the 1930s-40s. And we couldnt take the rotary phone from the bedroom or kitchen as they still belonged to MA BELL.. which didnt break up till 1984…

    The Trimline telephone is a series of telephones produced by Western Electric, the manufacturing unit of the Bell System, and first introduced in 1965. It was designed by Henry Dreyfuss Associates under the project direction of Donald Genaro; the firm had designed all previous desktop telephone models for the American Telephone & Telegraph conglomerate.

    We wonder if johnny fevers (WKRP in Cincinnati) telephone cops will get us

    anyone but me remember phreaking?

    What is phone phreaking? A phone phreak is someone who loves exploring the telephone system and experimenting with it to understand how it works. Phone phreaking got its start in the late 1950s. Its golden age was the late 1960s and early 1970

    this had nothing to do with the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers… [Mr Cool, or Zippy the Pinhead] – however, as i walk down the street, from what i see, i think i may have fallen into a R Crumb comic (may his brother rest in peace).

    the hero of the time was Captain Crunch!
    why? cause the little red whistle in the cereal box was the right tone to make over seas calls… actually it allowed the call to hang up and leave an open connection!! 2600hz..

    the history behind this is fascinating.. given a kid with perfect pitch “joe Engressia, a blind seven-year-old boy” figured it out by whistling the fourth E above middle C – his friend, figured out the cereal box exploit and became captain crunch.. as a handle.

    “. John Draper discovered through his friendship with Engressia that the free whistles given out in Cap’n Crunch cereal boxes also produced a 2600 Hz tone when blown (providing his nickname, “Captain Crunch”).”

    there was also dialing out of places who had the rotary locked or had it removed (pressing the hang up button fast in the right counts would cause it to dial).

    There were also blue boxes, brown boxes, black boxes, etc… we would make them.. at one point, living in the bronx, we would lift a phone mans special test phone with clips..

    after moving to jersey the first Trash 80s came out, and i had a commodore, and we wrote BBS boards… these were the TRUE beginning of the internet!!
    the schools had things like wais, gopher, and so on… and the first lines to dial in, but it was us BBS board people who really made the internet happen – NOT darpa net..

    because darpa net was school, and boring.. but the BBS boards from wealthy kids had custom software we wrote, and ran by themes.. mine was with another kid and was kept at his house… Shore64.. but i still remember and have some transcripts from places like The morgue, who would assign you a toe tag… some started writing muds and moos in text.. and part of this was cracking software security.

    i nearly got in trouble as i ended up with what was later a war games dialer i made, and ended hacking into RCA spacelabs before it was illegal… but i never got caught.. a good friends father was a upper person at AT&T right after the split, and she would share with me some special phone numbers.. one would test your line to see if there were bugs and was used by the government, the other was a line that gave you unlimited phone calls without record… which is what i used.

    In the 1980s, the revolution of the personal computer and the popularity of computer bulletin board systems (BBSes) (accessed via modem) created an influx of tech-savvy users. These BBSes became popular for computer hackers and others interested in the technology, and served as a medium for previously scattered independent phone phreaks to share their discoveries and experiments. This not only led to unprecedented collaboration between phone phreaks, but also spread the notion of phreaking to others who took it upon themselves to study, experiment with, or exploit the telephone system.

    Thats how i started my computer career… i can still hack.. and even have software that can write software.. but cant sell gold to a banker at a discount, so no one is interested… but i can write whole programs in a day, error free, for online using that software… its online too… also self modifying code… AI… and more… high speed chip search for genetics.. no one wants that either… lots of stuff..

    but again… as an adult never in the fertile space to achieve with that
    which has me very depressed… also a fashion photog, gem cutter, graphic artist, portrait artist (photo real)… designer… new products.. and i can go on

    but its way too depressing now.. 🙁

  15. You guys should read Fiona Hill’s testimony. I mean. Read it. Don’t rely on the Press.

    To make you read it, she was one of the first, maybe THE first person to suggest that Christopher Steele had been duped by the Russians.

    But she’s not a useful idiot like Matt Taibbi. She is, I would like to think, one of your own. An anti-commuinsit. On the right side of history.

  16. Qatari owned Brookings Institution’s Fiona Hill? That Fiona Hill? Sure.

    While we’re suggesting readings, how’s about you pick up a copy of Lee Smith’s new book, “The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in US History“, Munchie. Then maybe you’ll get up to speed.

  18. JFK and RFK did not kill themselves. Ruby Ridge, Waco 1, Waco 2, they did not shoot themselves. Andrew Breitbart, did not kill himself.

    Jeffrey Epstein killed himself though? lol

  19. Looks like “Man of Steele”, The Sequel (or “Son of Man of Steele”, if you prefer…).

    BUT WAIT!:
    “…Christopher Steele had been duped by the Russians.”

    Oh my! Dat poow, poow myan….

    (Actually, you and Fiona might think about taking it on the road. Could be joined by Pete and Lisa, and James and James, and John and Andrew, and Susan and Loretta, and Eric and Alex—with lots of other guest appearances)! Think of it as a kind of Rolling Thunder Revue, dusted off for the current conspiracy-addled zeitgeist. Should bring in a bundle. The T-shirts alone….)

  20. WE are all useful idiots when we dont know the game..
    especially those who think otherwise!!
    they are easier to use
    (as they are already deluded).

  21. Gosh, Fiona does seem to be getting a lot of attention these days. (Maybe she won’t be able to make the tour after all. Pity…. But maybe Valerie will be able to fill in…. Stefan? Azra? If only they could find Joseph….)

  22. Kiev may have been the planned baby. Maybe they are trying to force a Slavic Spring. South Africa, Zimbabwe, Libya, … a pipeline through Kosovo, but not Kurdovo. The temptations for redistributive change of Russia’s natural resources must be overwhelming.

  23. n.n. Velvet Revolution… 😉

    i have mentioned this over the past 10 years.. to no avail

    The Velvet Revolution (Czech: sametová revoluce) or Gentle Revolution (Slovak: nežná revolúcia) was a non-violent transition of power in what was then Czechoslovakia, occurring from 17 November to 29 December 1989

    If i was Virgil, this crew would get lost in hell despite someone showing them the way!!!!!!!

  25. Well well well, look what we have here!

    Lee Smith @LeeSmithDC:

    No Russian disinformation in the dossier. Steele was used as FBI avatar to push Clinton disinformation back into FBI. Question is: why was Fiona Hill covering for Steele—and FBI?

    AesopFan, this is one where reading down in comments can be recommended. For instance, Steve McIntyre says:

    1/ it is shocking that Steele’s 100 or so memos on Ukraine from 2014-2015, disseminated within State by Winer and Nuland, funded by an unknown benefactor, haven’t been made public and that funding remains unknown. it is not enough to say that Steele dossier is “crap” (tho it is). 2/ it makes a big difference whether it was Fusion GPS fabrication as opposed to “Russian disinformation” and scandalous that this remains uninvestigated by authorities with subpoena power.

    And M Ryutin follows with:

    Quite obvious to me. Claiming Russian fed false information is meant as cover for crooked FBI/Intel/DOJ conspirators: “We must have also been misled. A mistake not a crime”

    Munchie was on message already! The memo had gone out: “Push Fiona! Her testimony will save us!”

  26. Artful,

    Thanks for the article on Gordievsky. Very interesting. I’ll have to try to find the book. (Used.)
