Finally, I want to highlight a story that many people haven’t noticed. On Wednesday, Reuters reported (in great detail) how 19.5% of Rosneft, Russia’s state oil company, has been sold to parties unknown. This was done through a dizzying array of shell companies, so that the most that can be said with certainty now is that the money “paying” for it was originally loaned out to the shell layers by VTB (the government’s official bank), even though it’s highly unclear who, if anyone, would be paying that loan back; and the recipients have been traced as far as some Cayman Islands shell companies.
Why is this interesting? Because the much-maligned Steele Dossier (the one with the golden showers in it) included the statement that Putin had offered Trump 19% of Rosneft if he became president and removed sanctions. The reason this is so interesting is that the dossier said this in July, and the sale didn’t happen until early December. And 19.5% sounds an awful lot like “19% plus a brokerage commission.”
Conclusive? No. But it raises some very interesting questions for journalists to investigate.

I am optimistic for a presidency that will be for the people but will stay vigilant on keeping an eye on things.
But important facts about the deal either have not been disclosed, cannot be determined solely from public records, or appear to contradict the straightforward official account of the stake being split 50/50 by Glencore and the Qataris.

Haven't we got to this point of insanity because we took our founders reasons for creating the Constitution for granted? They did after all warn us didn't they? By God, we are experiencing what would happen if we didn't heed their warnings!
Let's take it a step farther. We have been groomed, domesticated, call it what you will, but whether you lean left or you lean right, it is quite obvious that the Corporations thru the use of the MSM are the ones doing the manipulations so that they the 1% have their agenda instituted? Which BTW, means our whole government is complacent in selling us out?
This is MKULTRA SQUARED!

Trump doesn't have that kind of money.
For months all I heard is he was broke.

I always enjoy reading your posts.
But just some food for thought on a statement you just made.

Sorry, but nobody will receive a trophy if this madness of entitlement continues!
