and we're looking forward to breaking more stories with your help late

September 2018 a Reddit user called divest Trump uploaded a detailed report to

Reddit about suspicious political posts that targeted read its main pro Trump

discussion forum the content chiefly originated from two websites

brutalist. press and USA really calm which have both been linked to Russia's Internet

research agency and individuals under investigation by Robert Mueller FBI probe

but it turns out that's just the tip of the iceberg because tens of millions of

additional reddit users could have been influenced in a joint investigation

Point in Engadget have learned that at least three additional domains altright.com veteranstoday.com and Southfront.org are also targeting the Donald and

other conservative subreddits in similar ways I've actually continued to kind of

hunt down Russian propaganda and others state-sponsored propaganda there's just

so much all across Reddit I'm still compiling it but it's it's in the tens

of thousands of posts thousands of users are spreading it and it's a it's

incredibly pervasive the suspected Russian propaganda sites have been

targeting at least 89 subreddits in partnership with data analytics company

Gravwell we have scrutinized the nature and scale of these posts our findings

suggest a Russian net attempt to antagonize and influence Americans

online which began mid-september last year and is still ongoing

the total subscriber base of all 89 subreddit is an excess of 68 million

registered users the majority of the subreddits were conservative or write

lenient such as conservatives only the Donald or

dreamless one but some of the largest subreddits with post from these domains

are also nonpartisan or left-leaning such as world news atheism or communism

at the time of publishing read it had banned six of the eighty-nine subreddit

although two of those were banned because they didn't have any moderators

and not because they were deemed to have violated the rules of engagement

additionally read it has quarantined one of these subreddit 9/11 truth which now

comes with a misinformation warning before users can access the content the

LinkedIn page of USA recon lists its location as Moscow and the social media

manager as Moscow face Dimitri Kukushkin another Russian Alexander Malkovich

created the website and works for Yevgeny Prigozhin who has been indicted for

interfering in u.s. elections the FBI indictment says that Pro goes in

bankrolled Russia's internet research agency which has been accused of being a

troll Factory the other website that divest Trump exposed last month

brutalist.press also have easy breadcrumbs to follow there's a few different sites

online where you can view basic information about a website where was it

registered was it registered in Russia is it hosted in Russia and the tricky

part is you know a lot of the Russian propaganda sites they've they've been

getting smarter and they're using the dot-com top-level domain name and

they're registering through GoDaddy or wherever Namecheap so it all looks

American sometimes they don't even try to cover their tracks which was the case

in USA really they were registered they were hosted all out of Moscow st.

Petersburg wherever in June 2017 a job listing was posted to a Russian career

web site with Alex at Bruce Lee stop press as a contact email address the

advertised position was a front-end developer with English skills who could

work from home the occasional work trip to st. Petersburg the website has since

changed its host country to the United States but a screenshot from a previous

who is page shows that USA really calm was originally registered in Russia

after posting the mail viral threats already exposing the efforts of us a

really calm and ruthless top press divest from toll pointing gadget that

South front org all right calm and veteran today calm were behaving in very

similar ways on reddit South front was previously flagged as suspicious by

jessyca arro a researcher and the Winfred Martin Center for European

studies in Brussels in an academic paper published in the journal European view

she cited South front org as a pro-kremlin domain and said that it

portrays herself as a crowdsource project but it looks more like a

professional info wall projects run or backs by the Russian military it's

difficult to prove beyond doubt that website is part of a misinformation

campaign directed from the Kremlin the researchers of show they only takes a

small band of devotees to influence the balance of an online conversation Shree

Jiang Kumar a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University scrubbed read his

comments and carried out a data-driven analysis of conflicts on ready he found

that a few bad eggs can have a huge impact we wanted to understand the

mechanisms that essentially lead to this phenomena and which users and which

communities are involved at this troll-like

reading behavior on reddit essentially what we found was less than 1% of these

communities were responsible for 75% of these antisocial behaviors of conflict

Worship is a Journey Pt 10 - Graham Kendrick shares his thoughts on the aim of leading worship - Duration: 0:59.

So the worship journey is not just about us encountering God

and how we feel about that

it's also about being sent out

and I think this is such an important thing

that we build into this journey the sending out

the commissioning to go and do to go and live

and that of course is the way that we step into the story

in our experience, we come, we're refreshed, we're renewed, we remember

all God has done for us.

We drink in, we breathe in the goodness of that

and then we're sent out to serve

and to get our feet on on the streets

and in our neighborhoods and in our homes

and to seek to be the followers of Christ that we're called to be.

Worship is a Journey Pt 9 - Graham Kendrick shares his thoughts on the aim of leading worship - Duration: 0:59.

Now one of the scriptures that that is very commonly used

as a template if you like

for the journey of Christian worship is in the prophet Isaiah chapter 6

where, in his vision, first of all he sees God

and then he is merely struck by his unworthiness

and feels he's gonna die

but then comes the angel and touches his lips with coal from thealtar

and that's a symbol of the forgiveness

there's been a sacrifice so you can be forgiven

Because he says 'I'm an unclean man, a man of unclean lips

and live among a people of unclean lips

woe is me I'm finished'

and then having received his forgiveness something else happens

he hears God saying 'whom should we send?'

'Who will go for us?'

and he answers, you know, 'send me, send me, I'll go'.

FISA BOMBSHELL SECRET!! MUELLER IS SHAKING IN FEAR,HE'S DONE - Duration: 11:28.

FISA BOMBSHELL SECRET!!

MUELLER IS SHAKING IN FEAR,HE'S DONE

Senator Lindsey Graham senator I have one big question you're laughing that's a lot

to unpack I was pretty good that's good I care about I don't trust Putin

I think he's a thug I think he sent his thugs here they were we had a

bi spy in his Network he's trying to get a foothold in on uranium industry bribery kickback

money one we all knew about it but they still signed off on that

deal and Hillary benefitted through the foundation she paid for Russian

dasya full of lies absolute lies that were disseminated to the American people where's

that investigation senator well we should have had a special counsel appointed

a long time ago to look at all

things Clinton so here's what I will do if I'm the chairman of Judiciary Committee in

the Senate next year I'm going to look at the FISA warrant application

how much of it was based on the dossier was there he was there any

information beyond the dossier offered to get the warrant and if the the dossier was

unverified how could you swear to the court it was accurate

somebody misled the court so I promise

you and your listeners that we're going to find out how this warrant was issued how could

a judge determine there was probable cause if the if the only document

was the dossier that was unverified how did the system break down

a Senate senator I got to be honest not only did it not break that information was pushed

out to the American people they didn't verify it nor did they tell

the court something I believe is pertinent that Hillary paid for it why would they not

be told why would they

hide that from the court so to issue a warrant against an American citizen to surveil them

under the files of statute the judge has to believe

there's probable cause that the person is connected to a foreign entity

if the document that the judge was given was paid for by a political party in the opposing

candidate and it was never verified and it's not verified to this day

what happens to those who submit the document to the court if they're not

punished you're going to reinforce doing this in the future imagine if it was the Trump

campaign the RNC hired a foreign agent to get a political dossier against Clinton

given to the court that turned

out to be a bunch of garbage I'd be front-page news all over the world we're not gonna let

this go for

because it's important to the American people that the FISA warrant application process

let me ask you directly well we get to the bottom obviously commis biased

and wanted Hillary to win as was Peter struck who interviewed or thought

that she should win a hundred million is zero my question is we got to now go

back to the investigation into a legal server with classified and top-secret information

on a - are we going to get

into the uranium one how did that ever happen was there a quid pro quo and who

would appoint the Special Counsel would it be the new Attorney General can the president

do it can you do it well it'd be the new Attorney General and here's I

think was frustrating to you and others is that when molar is done nobody can doubt that

Trump was looked at very hard they're trying to flip people right and left

none of that was done during the Clinton investigation it's a matter of

fact that people involved investigating Clinton wanted her to win and Trump to lose so we've

never had the same scrutiny I hope in the future that's corrected

last question can the president get the five you telling the

president hold out for the five billion dollars on for the wall or don't do the

deal dig in don't give in get the five being put dock on the table make them say no to

wall funding make them say no to relief for the doctor recipients us

stay strong mr. president you got the right you're on the right side of this issue

all right Lindsey Graham good to see you thank you all right so last night in this program

we had huge news with the hills John Solomon breaking the story that the Justice Department

official Bruce or under oath in congressional testimony revealing

two high-ranking DOJ FBI officials that Christopher Steele and

his dossier was in fact connected and paid for by Clinton and very well would be polluted

politically biased our own Gregg Jarrett now explores the major legal

consequences of this in his new article entitled out on foxnews.com

Muller's team new dossier kicking off Trump investigation was biased and defective here

to discuss the details

author of the number one bestseller Russia hopes the illicit scheme to clear Hillary

Clinton framed Donald Trump Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett and the author

of the bestseller license to lie exposing corruption in the Justice

Department former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell is back with us alright Greg let's

start with your column and let's now take a week so in August of 2016

Bruce or warns everybody all the people

in the FBI the upper echelon and DOJ and DOJ warns them ho Hillary paid for this bias and

Christopher Steele hates Trump right so they knew it's paid for by Hillary Clinton

they knew that it's written by a guy who'd do anything to stop Donald

Trump they should have dropped it therefore in the trash can they didn't they thought

it was gold

we

don't

care

"HE IS GOING TO GITMO 100% FACT!!" KEN STARR JUST EXPOSED ALL PROOF ENOUGH TO INDICT MUELLER!! - Duration: 13:25.

"HE IS GOING TO GITMO 100% FACT!!"

KEN STARR JUST EXPOSED ALL PROOF ENOUGH TO INDICT MUELLER!!

the investigations are piling on and now the federal Special Counsel office is looking

into whether acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker may have received

campaign donations while working as a federal employee two former

federal judge and independent counsel Ken Starr author of contempt a memoir of the Clinton

investigation good to see you can thank you for being here

hey David good to see you thank you let's talk first about this new news

about the the investigation of mr.

Whitaker it could could this actually force him out as Acting Attorney General

oh I don't think so at all it looks to me from what I've seen that this is one

of those inadvertent failure to close down the campaign account in time what will likely

happen and I've been through

this sort of thing that served as chief of staff to Attorney General Smith during the

Reagan years is he will have to simply pay this back but unless there's

any showing of intent which I seriously doubt this will be cleaned up

call it a bureaucratic snafu okay let's talk about his role as Acting AG and particularly

his role overseeing the Muller investigation exactly how much can

he influence that investigation well under the regulations David he can

influence major decisions major steps now those are self-defining that's a judgment

call but he cannot under the

regulations interfere with the independence of the day-to-day operations so let's just

say hypothetically Robert Muller was about to

consider the indictment of one hypothetical marire oh he needs to go to

the Acne Attorney General and say here's what I'm intending to do and this is the reason

why I'm to do it and under the regulations and these regulations have been

play in place since the light years of the Clinton administration that's a

that's within his the Attorney General's prerogative to say yea or nay well let's let's take another

even more specific hypothetical if you will say mr.

Whitaker finds out that mr.

Muller is looking into something with the

the Trump business empire that precedes his running for president could mr.

Whittaker's say hey wait a minute that's out of bounds that's not what you were

hired for yes he does have that authority the Attorney General has that authority under

the regulations he will need to provide in the fullness of time and

explanation to Congress as to why hemade that decision but he does have that

authority Wow now the president has is as we all know now written out the the answers

to mr.

Muller I don't know if they're actually within mr.

Muller's hands right now and if he's going over them but well what is your thinking

about these written answers is is there any danger for the president because clearly he

went over them very carefully with his lawyers to make sure that there weren't

any mistakes in there well there's always a danger but obviously

the president's well served by extremely able lawyers they I'm sure we're extremely careful

about this they know what they're doing and in a way it's a

symbolic victory for the president in that he has not been summoned to testify at least

as far as we know right maybe there's been an invitation to testify live

but written questions written answers and so forth are a safe and

secure way of providing information to the special counsel so yes these answers presumably

are in Bob Muller's hands and so I would expect the classic give-and-take

process hey your answer to question number three mr. president with

all due respect raises a couple of other questions and it'll be this negotiation back and forth

process I assume and so

it's a it's a sort of stay tuned but it does suggest you're absolutely right that mr.

Muller is very far along in his investigation at least with respect to the

allegation of collusion and again I've seen nothing I don't think the

American people have seen anything to suggest that there was collusion you know no zero

on that but there there

have been a lot of indictments for people you know insiders inside the beltway for what

they did is lobbyists etc there were some Russians who probably

will never make it to trial because they're gonna stay in Russia

but of all the information that that mr.

Muller has collected and there's they're probably reams and reams of information

is it conceivable that the written answers of the president would conflict

in any way from the evidence that mr.

Muller has collected well it's conceivable but I don't think that it's

likely again anything can happen someone can go awry you can have a

witness who says X and the president says not X but I think the process especially with

able lawyers is being guided in such a way that the president is

answering truthfully I hope and pray

and that those answers in fact are not going to it anyway implicate him you mentioned the

indictments very quickly one of the lessons that has come out

again with respect to the mall or investigation is tell the truth right

indictments for perjury guilty pleas for perjury and so forth and that of course was exactly

what will the genesis of what unfolded during the Minsk II phases I

recount in my book David all right judge stark great to see you my friend thank you for being

here really

appreciate you coming in my pleasure David thank you and the book by the way is contained

well the Special Counsel investigation is accelerating at some point possibly soon we're

going to see Robert Muller's

report or parts of it it was not

released to the public parts of it will certainly be leaked we'll have that information the

question is how should we assess it Alan Dershowitz has thought a

lot about this question he's a retired Harvard Law School professor author of

the case against impeaching Trump and he joins us tonight professor thanks for coming on

so are we likely to see this report in whole or part and what should

we think when we do well first we will eventually see much of the report probably the whole

report eventually but we should never see it

until we also see the president's legal team rebuttal because otherwise it's a completely

one-sided presentation remember it's like an indictment even though

it won't be an indictment it's

one-sided it's based on the testimony only of witnesses that the prosecution sought to

call and as everybody knows an indictment can't be used as evidence of guilt

it doesn't undercut the presumption of innocence it's just a charging document and that's the

way we

ought to read the report issued by Muller it's simply an accusation and we must see

the other side of the story before we

can come

to any

conclusion

Sending U.S. troops to Venezuela is 'an option,' Trump says - Duration: 7:38.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that sending U.S.troops to Venezuela is 'an option' but he ruled out a meeting with socialist leader Nicolas Maduro

In an interview with CBS News, Trump reiterated that military intervention was a possibility

'Certainly, it's something that's on the - it's an option,' Trump said, adding that Maduro requested a meeting months ago

'I've turned it down because we're very far along in the process,' he said in a CBS 'Face the Nation' interview

'So, I think the process is playing out - very, very big tremendous protests.' His comments come as Western nations are piling pressure on Maduro to hand over power to opposition leader and self-proclaimed President Juan Guaido

The United States, Canada and several Latin American countries have disavowed Maduro over his disputed re-election last year and recognize Guaido as the rightful leader of the economically troubled OPEC nation

Maduro however still maintains the powerful backing of Russia, China and Turkey, whose foreign minister said on Sunday that Western meddling was fueling Venezuela's troubles and punishing millions of its people

Trump spoke with Guaido on Thursday to 'congratulate him on his historic assumption of the presidency,' according to a White House statement

Tens of thousands of people thronged the streets of various Venezuelan cities on Saturday to protest Maduro's government and a senior air force general recognized interim-chief Guaido

France and Austria said on Sunday they would recognize Guaido if Maduro did not respond to the European Union's call for a free and fair presidential election by Sunday night

The Trump administration last week issued crippling sanctions that are likely to further weaken the country's struggling oil industry

While that could weaken Maduro, it risks also exacerbating Venezuela's economic collapse

Venezuela is suffering medicine shortages, malnutrition and hyperinflation that has prompted millions to emigrate in recent years

Venezuela's ambassador to Iraq, Jonathan Velasco, became the latest of a handful of officials to defect from Maduro's government this weekend in a video published on social media on Saturday

Guaido told his supporters in a major rally in Caracas on Saturday that he would on Sunday announce when they would seek to bring in international humanitarian aid from Colombia, Brazil and a Caribbean island

It is unclear whether Maduro's government, which denies the country is suffering a humanitarian crisis, will let any foreign aid through

Last week Maduro accused the United States of orchestrating a coup, and appealed to American citizens on social media early Wednesday morning to stop its government from interfering in the affairs of Latin America

'People of the # USA , I ask for your support to reject the interference of the Donald Trump government that intends to make of My Homeland a Vietnam in Latin America

Do not Let Him!' Maduro tweeted.He shared a direct to camera video on Twitter and Facebook, in Spanish, alongside the message in which he made a similar plea

Maduro also claimed that Trump ordered the Colombian government and mafia to assassinate him, after a mystery Russian jet landed in Venezuela this week 'to ship out gold from the central bank

' He said that he has no doubt that the U.S.President 'gave the order to Colombia to kill me' and that if something happens to him 'Donald Trump will be responsible

' The Trump administration has been ratcheting up pressure on Maduro, granting Guaido the ability to access the regime's frozen U

S.bank accounts and issuing new sanctions intended to dry up Maduro's remaining funds

On Monday the U.S.Treasury Department slapped sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil companies and set in place a system to freeze accounts that also could be placed under Guaido's control

Maduro has struck back at the U.S.action.'Do you think you are the emperor of the world?' he asked Trump

'Do you think Venezuela is going to give up and obey your orders? We will not surrender,' he said

On Saturday, Maduro said he was willing to sit down for talks with the opposition in an effort to promote national 'harmony

' But that offer has been rejected by Guaido, who describes it as a ploy by the Maduro administration to buy time

Previous talks between the government and opposition have failed to change electoral conditions in the South American country, and many political leaders have been forced into exile
