Report from www.LaRouchePAC.com Harley Schlanger Mon Feb 19th

Given the media hype around Mueller’s indictment of “Russian trolls”, I am sending you this preliminary analysis of what this means.  Despite the hype, this will go nowhere, though it will be used to pound home the original fraudulent message of “Russian meddling.”  The author, Barbara Boyd, previously produced our Special Report, “Robert Mueller Is an Amoral Legal Assassin,” which has been instrumental in exposing Mueller as an Anglo-American Intelligence hitman.

Please circulate this widely — it will be published in this week’s Executive Intelligence Review.

SPECIAL REPORT

Robert Mueller III Indicts Some Russian Social Media Trolls:
Indictment Scams the American People

by Barbara Boyd

Feb. 18 (EIRNS)–In the first two weeks of February, things
looked really bad for the coup being run against the President of
the United States. Congress, in the form of the House
Intelligence Committee, announced that it would be publishing a
series of three memos exposing how the coup was fomented. If the
first memo, published on Feb. 2nd concerning a deliberate fraud
on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court by former FBI
Director James Comey, former Deputy Attorney Sally Yates, and
others, is any guide, criminal investigation of the Obama White
House is on the agenda.
The House Intelligence Committee, backed by members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, has announced that two upcoming memos
will expose the role of key State Department personnel and
Obama’s intelligence chiefs, respectively, in the coup. The track
being followed by Congressional investigators is centered on the
use of a very dirty dossier about Donald Trump produced by
British intelligence agent Christopher Steele as part of a full
spectrum British/Obama information warfare operation designed to
defeat Trump in the 2016 election. Failing that, the British and
Obama set out to poison Trump’s presidency and impeach him.
Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham had already
referred Steele to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal
prosecution. Something, clearly, had to be done to turn the
tables or, at least, slow the charge. Something had to be done to
take the focus away from the actual British criminals and their
U.S. co-conspirators and refurbish the increasingly discredited
Russiagate myth. Enter the ever dutiful Robert Mueller III and
his flimsy Feb. 16 indictment of 13 Russians and 3 Russian
companies which allegedly conspired to interfere in the 2016 U.S.
election.
A few things are of note just on the surface of this case.
The indictment, written and formulated like a press release
rather than a legal document, will never have its factual basis
challenged in court. Mueller knows this. The U.S. has no
extradition treaty with Russia, and the Russian Constitution bars
extradition of Russian citizens. According to Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein, the Russians fooled the Trump campaign by
pretending to be Americans, based on stolen identities. There is
no allegation of “collusion” with the Trump campaign. There is no
claim that this operation affected the vote in the Presidential
election, nor could there be, as the expenditures alleged for
this amateurish hit-or-miss social media operation were
completely dwarfed, by huge orders of magnitude, by the
expenditures made by Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Bernie
Sanders, and associated PACS and organizations.
But, oh those evil Russian “bad actors” who “meddled” in an
American election, as even the President initially tweeted. As we
have repeatedly warned, the strategic context of the coup against
Trump is an all out effort to preserve the Anglo-American order
against what is perceived to be the rising power of China, now
allied with Russia. China has constantly and persistently invited
the United States to join its One Belt, One Road initiative, the
largest infrastructure development project ever undertaken in
world history. Trump’s reasoned approach to both Russia and China
is seen as an existential threat to the continued Anglo-American
partnership which has dominated the world since Franklin
Roosevelt’s death.
Russiagate’s initial narrative, that Russians hacked the DNC
and John Podesta’s email accounts to damage the Clinton campaign
and elect Trump, has been discredited by the work of the Veteran
Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. William Binney, a former
technical director of the NSA, states that if such Russian
hacking occurred, the NSA would have the evidence of it and would
have found a way to produce it. The VIPS also conducted a
scientific experiment demonstrating that the source of the
WikiLeaks DNC emails was a leak, not a hack. Now, the emphasis
has shifted to another claim in the January 2017, evidence-free
“assessment,” of supposed Russian interference by three of
Obama’s intelligence chiefs–this one the claim that the Russians
ran a social media campaign designed to support Bernie Sanders
and Donald Trump, and later to roil the existing divisions in
American society. This social media campaign was run from an
entity called the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg,
Russia, according to the 2017 Obama intelligence assessment and
Mueller’s indictment.
Mueller claims that from 2014 forward the Internet Research
Agency, financed by two companies owned by Russian oligarch
Yevgeniy Prigozhin, planned and implemented a campaign to
interfere with the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections as part of a
project named “translator.” According to Mueller, the campaign
involved phony Facebook groups, and phony Twitter, Instagram, and
email accounts, all run by Russians from the IRA who had stolen
six U.S. identities to facilitate the operation. They used
Facebook’s paid advertising feature to boost their posts; two IRA
employees visited the U.S. under false pretenses to gather
intelligence; contacts were made with the Trump campaign’s state
offices and field organizations to coordinate social media and
set up rallies in Washington, D.C., New York, Florida, and
Pennsylvania. Allegedly, the IRA sought to suppress the black
vote by bogus social media posts and also claimed that the
election was “rigged” on Clinton’s behalf. After the election,
the IRA engaged in the same social media and rally activities to
support both Trump and the “Resist” movement seeking Trump’s
impeachment.
I will leave it to others to document the obvious U.S.
hypocrisy concerning the premise of Russiagate. The United States
has intervened in elections all over the world, repeatedly, and,
as James Woolsey recently said on Fox News, for the “good of
those nations.” When someone is elected who we don’t like, like
Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine, we simply launch a coup using such
native assets as neo-Nazi shock troops (Ukraine) or Al-Qaeda and
other Islamic terrorists (Syria). Obama’s White House, in the
form of the National Security Council’s Ben Rhodes, claimed that
it conducted information warfare operations with finesse, setting
up, for example, a media echo-chamber to sell the Iran nuclear
deal based on the fact that most reporters were “27-year-old kids
who knew nothing.”
The indictment’s own overblown allegations should subject it
to ridicule. How do we know that Yevgeniy Prigozhin is the boss
of this operation? According to Mueller, an IRA employee took a
picture of himself in front of the White House on Prigozhin’s
birthday with the sign, “Happy Birthday, Boss.” The amazing
Russian sleuths found out the amazing fact from one their
American social media contacts that they should concentrate on
“purple states.” The indictment contains an email from one of the
