Former Obama Aide Evelyn Farkas’s Outs Obama, Deep State Spying On Trump


Though he initially tweeted, clumsily and imprecisely on the topic, the gist of Donald Trump's claim that Obama (or people following Obama's orders) had been spying on him, unsurprisingly, because it is becoming par for the course, President Trump was correct. The administration of his predecessor, Barack H. Obama, had indeed been surveilling Trump and those close to his campaign.

The aim of this illegal and unethical activity was to gain enough spinnable information to give the appearance of substance to the totally fabricated claims by a Clinton campaign that realised the presidency was slipping away from their unelectable candidate. 

In an article published by Town Hall, Jack Kerwick demonstrates how Democrat propaganda print web news organisations The New York Times, Slate, Mother Jones, and Heat Street, had confirmed months before it became an issue team Obama's surveillance efforts had been directed towards finding a way of linking Trump and his associates to corrupt business deals with Russia. However we now know it was Hillary Clinton and her cronies, through The Clinton Foundation (aka The Clinton Crime Syndicate) and Obama who had, while holding public office, benefitted financially from deals with Russian oligarchs.

Ostensibly, foreigners, specifically, Russians, were the subjects of the surveillance. But it is equally true that arrangements were made by those within Obama’s government—the so-called “Deep State” to illegally unmask and leak public information regarding those private citizens that allegedly got swept up in these spying operations.

For those still in denial about the corrupt nature of the Obama administration and The Clinton Foundation, Evelyn Farkas goes on to remove all doubt. Farkas was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for “Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia,” in the Obama administration according to the official U.S. Department of Defense website. She left in 2015 to become an adviser to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In March 2016 she appeared on MSNBC and made the following comments on Morning Joe:
 
“I was urging my former colleagues and, frankly speaking, people on the Hill…[to] get as much information as you can, as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves the administration.”
Farkas admitted that she “had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior people [from the Obama administration] who left.” She feared that it would disappear into the abyss of “the bureaucracy,” and “that the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about…the Trump staff’s dealing with Russia, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods.”

There are several startling admissions remarks.

First, Farkas acknowledges that the Obama administration had in effect been gathering intelligence, or spying, on private citizens.

Second, being a Democrat partisan, Farkas’ intention in making these comments in the left-friendly venue of MSNBC, was to suggest that the Democrats’ “The Russians Made Us Do It (Lose)” narrative was more than just smoke and mirrors.

In the typical shyster - lawyer style of the Obama administration, Farkas never actually said that the intel offered any evidence of “collusion” between Putin or “the Russians” and Trump. Had there been anything there, she would have taken it up and run screaming to every Democrat friendly newpaper, TV news channel and radio station.

Third, Farkas does not mention any correspondence between Trump and “the Russians.” No, she instead vaguely references “Trump folks” and “the Trump staff” when talking about Russia. This is totally unlike Wikileaks (not connected with Trump but vehemently opposed to Clinton) leaking thousands of emails that proved disastrous for the Democrats campaign as they offered plenty of evidence of unethical activity (including conspiring to cheat Hillary's rival, Bernie sanders, out of the nomination,) corruption, illegal links with foreign governments and much worse.

Fourth, while Farkas obviously wanted the public to think that Obama’s goons discovered some nefarious connection between “Trump folks” and those dastardly Russians, the only allusion she makes is to the “dealings” that she alleges transpired. In other words the suggestion is deliberately vague to avoid anything that can be challenged.

Fifth, Farkas acknowledges that she worried about “the Trump folks” discovering “how we knew what we knew….” What reasonable person would not infer from such a statement that the “how” in question, the methods by which intelligence was supposedly gathered, consists of surveillance of the “Trump folks?” were somewhat less than ethical if not downright criminal.

Finally, Farkas talks about how the Trump administration would react when it found out “how we knew what we knew….” Who is this “we?” Farkas was no longer in the government after 2015 but her choice of words would have us think that she is still very much in the loop, collaborating with bureaucrats in the Deep State, i.e. civil servants who have no business taking an active role in election capaigns. Moreover, considering her position in the Obama administration, it is again reasonable to think that Farkas’ selection of the first person-plural in this context refers to Farkas and her fellow partisans that remain embedded in the bureaucracy over which her former boss presided.


Farkas has tried retreating from her comments. The left-leaning media has been busy with damage limitation. But the cat is out of the bag. The Deep State, under Obama, surveilled American citizens, in this case, Trump and his “folks.” They wanted any information that they had gathered that could be damaging to Trump to be as widely disseminated—leaked— as possible.

How to stop Google tracking your every move

Do you ever get the feeling you are being watched or followed? OK, it could possibly be because you are paranoid but more likely you've noticed a few things that are just beyond creepy when you are using the web and particularly Google services.


For an example, has an advertisement for a product or service ever popped up on your screen just after you were talking to someone about it?

When security researcher Mustafa Al-Bassam popped into a McDonald’s for a halal burger last year, he was shocked when a prompt to download the fast food restaurant’s app popped up on his smart phone. Mustafa tweeted at the time:

Yesterday I almost had a heart attack when I entered McDonald's and I had a notification on my phone asking me to install their app.


Your every move is being watched. Monitored. Analysed. Not just by creepy spooks like the NSA and GCHQ but also by corporate pirates determined to get their grubby mitts on your hard earned. Google, (don't be evil, that's our job) are probably the worst culprit and are known to collaborate with National Security agencies to gather data on citizens, not just suspected criminals or political activists but ordinary punters. The aim is to build a profile of you that will make it possible to predict your behaviour.

Around the time Mr Al-Bassam noticed he had a creepy stalker in his cellphone phone, other Google users began to realise that despite having deleted Google Maps, another Google-based app, Google Play, was “almost obsessive” in its need to check user’s whereabouts.

While location services on your smartphone are commonplace in modern society, Google's cosy relationship with the US government enables them to circumvent civil rights an privacy laws and accurately follow you, building a picture of where you go and what you do. Google Play passes on your location data to databases and installed apps via an API, whether Maps are installed or not.

For Android users, Google uses this information in a service called Nearby, “which notifies you of things that can be helpful near you”, according to Google.

Google jovially tells you “The Play Store offers over one million apps — many of which are created to be used in specific locations or situations. The right app at the right moment lets you get more done.”

But one they are in your system, Google makes it particularly difficult to switch these features off.

Here’s how to get out of it.

Deleting or uninstalling the apps are helpful, or you could turn your phone’s location services on and off as you use each app. But this is irritating and time consuming. However News.com Australia have compiled some instructions to help you shake off the stalker in your smart phone. See below:



ANDROID

Tapping on ‘Your Timeline’, Google will ask you to turn on your Location history. This allows you to rediscover places you’ve visited in the past. But it also allows Google to create a complex profile of your personality.

Here’s how to stop Google Maps tracking you:

• Select ‘Your Timeline’ in Settings

• Tap the Burger Icon (the three dots on the top right-hand side of the screen) and select ‘Settings’

• Scroll down to Location Settings

• Tap “Location History is on”.

• A pop-up window will appear; tap the checkmark next to “On”. Swiping to the left should turn it off.

• Tap “OK” on the window that appears.

You can also turn location off and delete location history in the same settings. Google will issue a warning that says your services might be affected — but let’s be real, you’ll be fine.

APPLE IOS

The ‘Your Timeline’ feature doesn’t exist for Apple users, as they do Android. But there are ways to opt out.

• Make sure you’re signed in and go to your Settings

• Scroll down to Settings

• Tap ‘Location History’ and slide it off

• To erase your history, scroll down the Settings menu to ‘Maps History’.

• There is currently not an option to delete everything at once, but you can tap the ‘X’ next to the locations you want to delete.

• You can also turn off ‘Location Data Collection’ by tapping ‘About, terms and privacy’ under Settings

— There is a sneaky way to allow Google to track your location while only using the App.

Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Google Maps and select ‘While Using the App’.
The Settings menu in Google Maps is where you’ll find location preferences.

Latest NSA Spying Scandal: White House Spied On US Congress.



Has anyone else noticed how Obama always never knows anything about it? (Image source)

During the aftermath of Ed Snowden's NSA snooping revelations which revealed the US had been spying on its closest allies for years, Barack Hussein Obama announced he had banned eavesdropping by U.S. government agencies on leaders of US allies and promised he would begin to curtail the collection of Americans' phone data in a series of limited reforms.

Below are a few key lines from a speech Obama made in January, 2014:

Our capabilities help protect not only our nation, but our friends and our allies, as well. But our efforts will only be effective if ordinary citizens in other countries have confidence that the United States respects their privacy, too. And the leaders of our close friends and allies deserve to know that if I want to know what they think about an issue, I’ll pick up the phone and call them, rather than turning to surveillance.

In other words, just as we balance security and privacy at home, our global leadership demands that we balance our security requirements against our need to maintain the trust and cooperation among people and leaders around the world.

The bottom line is that people around the world, regardless of their nationality, should know that the United States is not spying on ordinary people who don’t threaten our national security, and that we take their privacy concerns into account in our policies and procedures. This applies to foreign leaders as well.

Unsurprisingly the president was lying, and the privacy concerns of "people around the world" have clearly never once been taken into account in Obama's domestic or foreign policy decisions.

Three days before, Senator and Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders sent an email to the NSA Chief Keith Alexander asking if the NSA 'has or is currently spying on members of the US Congress or other American elected officials.' The letter defined spying as including "gathering metadata on calls made from official or personal phones, content from websites visited or emails sent, or collecting any other data from a third party not made available to the general public in the regular course of business."

The response: the National Security Agency's director, responding to questions from independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, says the government is not spying on Congress.... "Nothing NSA does can fairly be characterized as 'spying on members of Congress or other American elected officials." Alexander wrote in the letter, dated Friday and released Tuesday.

The former NSA head also lied, but that's very clear from the way he qualifies his response. Nothing NSA does can fairly be characterized as 'spying. Clearly Alexander's definition of spying is different to the one cited by Sanders.

In the latest Wall Street Journal report on the NSA's spying scandal, it is reported that even though Obama announced two years ago he would curtail eavesdropping on friendly heads of state, the spying continues and "behind the scenes, the White House decided to keep certain allies under close watch. Topping the list was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

The spying, or counterespionage (which is not the same as spying at all - ahem), was necessary 'in order to facilitate the US-Iran nuclear negotiations and deal' which took place this summer over Netanyahu's firm objection to scuttle any lifting of the Iran embargo (an embargo which Iran had skirted for years by importing billions of dollars worth of gold from Turkey via Dubai).

That in itself would not be quite so scandalous considering the frosty diplomatic relations between the two nations in recent years, if it didn't also involve the direct and indirect spying by the NSA and the executive branch, on members of Congress ...

The National Security Agency’s targeting of Israeli leaders and officials also swept up the contents of some of their private conversations with U.S. lawmakers and American-Jewish groups. That raised fears—an “Oh-s— moment,” one senior U.S. official said—that the executive branch would be accused of spying on Congress.

White House officials believed the intercepted information could be valuable to counter Mr. Netanyahu’s campaign. They also recognized that asking for it was politically risky. So, wary of a paper trail stemming from a request, the White House let the NSA decide what to share and what to withhold, officials said. “We didn’t say, ‘Do it,’ ” a senior U.S. official said. "We didn’t say, ‘Don’t do it."

Which explains why for the past two years the Obama administration, which knew this moment was inevitable, has been maintaining an attitude of abject incompetence, claiming it had no idea anything like this happened. In fact, as the Bezos Post reported in late 2013, "Obama didn’t know about surveillance of U.S.-allied world leaders until summer "of 2013. That too was a lie.
