    Wonder if this has anything to do with the "Proud Boys" emails.

    They released an intelligence advisory last night and Ratcliffe left out a portion in his communications, care to guess what portion?

    At least, the advisory is out and the states know their systems have been breached, again.

    I certainly won't defend the Russians or Iranians, but it seems their "breach" concerns voter registration rolls.
    These are public record - you can look up anyone's voter information.

    You mis-assume. It was my, "HEADLINE." Judging from other headlines I've seen (including other threads, which have seemed more popular than most of those I, so far, have started) I believed BOLD CAPS would catch more perusing posters' attentions (which, I now see, is not always a good thing).


    P.S.-- I AM surprised that IRAN would interfere; I hadn't considered that 1) they had a horse in the race, which was perhaps an oversight on my part; but probably more my surprise is due to the fact 2) that, "they," would judge it worthwhile.

    The reason is that, by they, I was thinking of the official heads of Iran's elected government, who were in favor of the U.S. & European, "nuclear deal." To my mind, it only makes sense, as explained in my post # 11, that the hard-line, most extremist Iranian power structure is behind this.

    (For any who see no distinctions amongst Iranian politicians, or even, perhaps, amongst the millions of the Iranian populace, their views are clearly drawn in ignorance of truth, to the point that it might be realistic to also expect from them, hostility towards it--which I don't deem worth MY trouble).

    Also the key ingredient for nuclear power plants. The top levels of enrichment are extremely more difficult than the lower levels.

    Former Overlords? Doesn't exactly read like even a remote attempt at objectivity, unless you're referring to the ancient Normans or Romans (& that still wouldn't explain this distant connection to our ancestors). I'm guessing that's not who you're referring to; so could you clarify a bit?
    Wage growth has been stagnant under both, "liberal"-- which is a term you misuse, because we haven't had what could be truly called liberal economic policy, w/ regard to the political milieu of the time, since Franklin Delano Roosevelt's prescriptions for addressing the Great Depression-- and, "Conservative," business policy WHICH, by the way, is not at all what any, even mildly- knowledgeable, person could term TRUMP'S economic policy. Again, you really need to define what you mean by these terms that you throw around with a liberal disregard for their definitions.

    As a side note, although Presidents typically have a limited ability to influence the overall economy, since they have no control over business cycles (ask George H.W. Bush), historically speaking, since WW2, the stock market, at any rate, has grown faster under Democratic Presidents, overall, than under Republicans.
    For a claim that remarkable-- the collapse of the Chinese economy-- one's only choices are to offer documenting evidence, or to be considered a crank, peddling ludicrously-prepared tripe.

    This is why America needs to revisit the privacy issue. Sunshine laws that that allow anybody with an internet connection to look up your voter information in some of these states will make these things increasingly common.

    While I can see someone having that interpretation (as I hope you will acknowledge that my interpretation is at least understandable for a reasonable to conclude, even if, in your view, it's wrong) but what complicates the matter is that other Trump supporters take the exact opposite side of that coin--

    --

    that is, the argument from other Trump supporters is that the Iranians KNEW that they'd be discovered, yet this, also, was calculated to, "make Trump look bad."

    NB: It took me a long time to research the validity of my arguments, and I suggest you do the same. This doesn't mean I'm always right. It only means I did my due diligence. And remember: I do my research. I don't do yours. If you have a point to make, that's your burden. Don't ask me to do your research for you.....<----- Does this include your so very well, thought out post above?

    Clearly Joe Biden should be investigated for Iranian collusion.

    But but that's harder than just reading a headline.

    It is not an interpretation unique to me. Why do you think the Iranians sent the letters under the Proud Boys name, because the MSM keeps trying to associate them with Trump. Why would the Iranians want Trump to win??

    Except, if you look at motive: Biden is LEADING IN ALL MAJOR POLLS, including FOX & RASMUSSEN's. So why would Democrats need, "a desperate attempt?" We all know who's getting anxious these days. Still, I'm not blaming Trump, of course. We have the DNI (a Republican Senator before appointed by Trump) telling us it's Iran. Why would HE cover for Dems. Without a shred of proof, to assign blame elsewhere is textbook conspiracy theorizing.

    My point remains the same.

    Since Iran's 2nd Constitution (1989), Iran has repeatedly reached out to normalize relations with the US but Israeli lobbies who dominate US Mid East policy prohibit US politicians from doing so.

    Iran was in full compliance with the "Nuclear Deal" (1) and it was the US (Trump) that tore it up.


    (1) "Iran adhering to nuclear deal with world powers, U.N. watchdog says"

    Well if there is anybody on earth to be believed, it would be Christopher Wray and J. Edgar's Federal Bureau of Intimidation.

    :roll:

    The Agency's reputation for mendacity is nearly as good as the CIA's

    Why not? Not like it’s hard to do. Quite easy actually. You know what false flags are and why they are done? The MSM can then run a story about Russia or Iran or China helping Trump. Scare more people. Keep the bogus story alive that white supremacists are raging across the country and NOT BLM and ANTIFA.

    Why do you think Biden runs ads about evil white people marching, rioting and threatening people? There aren’t that many and the incidents are few or not even real. But he ignores the millions on the Left that are actually doing all the billions in damage and all the actual murdering. But then people like you believe it’s Proud Boys that are dangerous when BLM and ANTIFA are infinitely more dangerous by every available measure and proof of incidents.

    My only comment is that I think it is a given that the Iranian leadership liked the nuclear deal since it was all in their interest. The U.S. and Iran are bitter enemies. It is expected that Iran would do anything to hurt the U.S. while getting away with it. The U.S. isn't going to go to war over election meddling. It isn't a big deal. It upsets Americans but doesn't really affect the elections. It is a perfect activity for a bitter enemy to choose.
