Seamas said:I've seen some discussions on Twitter the last few days since the Meryl Streep business about the disabled reporter story. A close friend of mine just sent me this video:
Its kind of long and slow but if you skip to 5:00 in it shows the scene and two other scenes where Trump uses similar hand motions and mannerisms to illustrate Ted Cruz and an Army General getting flustered when their story was questioned. Long story short the video is arguing that Trump was calling out the reporter for supposedly not remembering a story that he had written about 9/11, not making fun of him for being disabled.
Here is a (lengthy) written version of the same rebuttal from catholics4trump.
My friend asked me if I could do some fact checking for him because I recently turned him on to Sott.netI couldn't find any articles about this on sott, so I'm posting here.
Trump himself said, in response to Meryl Streep's show:
Here are a few articles I found (all pretty similar) with a google search:
ijr.com
The Hill
Daily Mail
and a few more similar videos (slightly faster paced):
Thoughts? Anyone else have any good links on this?
**Added: for the record I think the last video is the best one if you only have time to watch one. **
Thanks for bringing that up. Especially the last video makes it fairly clear that his demeanour/expression in the so called "mocking a disabled person" is just the way he expresses himself in certain situations and has nothing to do with "mocking a disabled person". Seems like that whole story is another (rather successful) attempt from the PTB to paint Trump as a monster. The old routine: blaming a normal human, with something you are yourself, aka a Monster.
Another sneaky smear campaign against Trump, is exposed in my book.
Granted a number of things are besides the point, naive and, but overall not all that bad of a summary. A bit of an "inside story" in regards to Trump over the decades too:
If Trumps is for real (and it pretty much looks like it at this point), the americans got a huge gift there. Then the question arises: does america as a whole (with all its ignorance and bad karma it has loaded onto itself) really deserve a Trump character on top? Is it that easy? I don't think so, since there is no free lunch. Anyway, that is all just so surreal to watch, that I'm literally floored to see it unfold.
We really live in amazing times.

Actually, it's pretty ironic that the source of this information is "CNN", since the actual CNN has recently been called 'fake news' by Trump at the press conference.

The Living Force
Oh, the irony! Amid all the accusations of foreign interference in the election, the first solid indication of it showed up with the publication of a slanderous un-sourced memo written by a “former” British intelligence agent accusing Donald Trump of various “perversions” and claiming he’s vulnerable to blackmail by those evil Russkies. The “ex”-MI6 agent, one Christopher Steele – how’s that for a name straight out of a James Bond novel? – works for “Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd.,” a high-toned Londo-based “private” spook agency usually hired by big corporations out to spy on their competitors or those pesky environmentalists.
The Foreign Plot to Oust Trump
It stretches from London to Langley to Kiev – and several points in between
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2017/01/12/the-foreign-plot-to-oust-trump/
According to press reports, Steele worked undercover in Russia for several years, cultivating a wide network of contacts who, today, regularly feed him information. It was through these contacts that he concocted a series of memos first reported by CNN and later published by BuzzFeed, the product of rumor, gossip, and innuendo – in short, the stuff “raw” intelligence is made of.
News accounts also report that it was Fusion GPS, a Democratic “research” firm, that got the initial contract, and was paid by the Republican wing of the “Never Trump” movement. After Trump won the Republican nomination, the ball was passed to the Democrats, who picked up the bill. Oh, but it didn’t end with Trump’s victory at the polls: Steele and Fusion GPS head honcho Glenn Simpson soldiered on: “By then,” the New York Times reports, “the election was over, and neither Mr. Steele nor Mr. Simpson was being paid by a client, but they did not stop what they believed to be very important work.”
Yes, out of the goodness of their hearts – patriotic duty, dedication to the victory of the West over the Evil Putinite Threat, and good old-fashioned stick-to-it-tiveness – the Dauntless Duo pursued their quarry through thick and thin, and they did it all for free, casting aside any thought of reward and abjuring the huge sums they are usually paid for such work.
We interrupt this fantasy to bring you an important announcement: it didn’t happen that way.
To begin with, anyone who thinks Orbis is a “private” intelligence agency, totally separate from MI6, the legendary British intelligence service, is delusional. These agencies – there are several, including the notorious Halykut, which recently surfaced in China – are simply extensions of the parent organization, MI6, which is, itself, intertwined with similar spook outfits in the US and throughout Europe. It’s an international fraternity, one that shares information, contacts, and a common worldview – and this last is what brings it into conflict with the President-elect.
When Trump began talking about how “obsolete” NATO is, their alarm bells began to go off. The alliance is the bedrock of the international security apparatus that nurtures and rewards this crowd, and the anchor of the expansionist agenda that envisions Ukraine and Georgia as the next entrants in the anti-Russian grand coalition. Those alarm bells started screaming when Trump took up with Nigel Farage, the UKIP leader and spokesman for the rising nationalist anti-EU movement: the Brexit campaign dealt the internationalists a near mortal blow, and the Trump-Farage hook-up drove them up the wall.
Like Trump, Farage is “pro-Russian,” i.e. he opposes the drive to war against Moscow, and the double victory of Trump-Brexit has the NATO-crats in a panic. Something had to be done.…
A piece by Paul Wood, who reports on Syria for the BBC, in the British Spectator, gives us more pieces in this international puzzle:
“[Steele], apparently, gave his dossier to the FBI against the firm’s advice. And the former MI6 agent is not the only source for the claim about Russian kompromat on the President-elect. Back in August, a retired spy told me he had been informed of its existence by ‘the head of an East European intelligence agency.’”
Another account has Sen. John McCain receiving the report from a “former British ambassador,” who then hands it off to the FBI. In any case, Wood goes on to detail his relationship with “active duty CIA officers” who basically told him there was “more than one tape,” made on more than one occasion, “of a sexual nature.” The memo, they told him, was “credible,” which is why “these claims ended up on President Obama’s desk last week, a briefing document was also given to congressional leaders and to Trump himself.” The Trump campaign, by the way, denies getting any such document.
Wood continues:
“Last April, the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was – allegedly – a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign. It was passed to the US by one of the Baltic States’ intelligence agencies. The CIA cannot act domestically against American citizens so a joint counter intelligence task force was created. It included six agencies or departments of government: dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice; for the foreign and intelligence aspects of the investigation, there were three agencies: the CIA, the Office of the Director on National Intelligence, and the NSA, the National Security Agency, responsible for electronic spying. Lawyers from the National Security Division in the Department of Justice then drew up an application. They took it to the secret US court that deals with intelligence, the FISA court, named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They wanted to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks. Their first application, in June, was rejected outright by the judge. They returned with a more narrowly drawn order in July and were rejected again. Finally, before a new judge, the order was granted, on October the 15th, three weeks before election day.”
The investigation, Wood avers, is in progress: a ticking time bomb waiting to go off under Trump’s chair in the Oval Office.
So let’s step back and look at the players: the CIA, MI6, “the head of an Eastern European intelligence agency,” and the “one of the Baltic states’ intelligence agencies” – an international coalition out to oust Trump.
Talk about “foreign interference” in American politics! This makes Russia’s alleged intervention look like child’s play.
The Never-Trumpers are demanding a “bipartisan independent commission” to investigate the alleged Russian connection to the Trump campaign: they might as well call it the Commission to De-legitimize Trump’s Presidency. These “patriots” scream that “foreign interference” is a mortal danger to the Republic, and that Trump is Putin’s Manchurian candidate intent on raising the Russian flag over the Capitol.
It’s hogwash of the sort we haven’t seen since the 1950s, when J. Edgar Hoover was “investigating” (i.e. harassing) anyone who didn’t toe the cold war line. But these people wouldn’t dream of investigating the many foreign connections to the anti-Trump campaign, stretching all the way from London to Kiev to the Baltic states (I’d guess Estonia).
The latest word is that Steele, “in fear for his life,” has fled his multi-million-dollar estate and is hiding in a “safe house,” perhaps in “another country.” Has anyone looked in Lindsey Graham’s closet? Those two drama queens should get along famously.

Obama surprising Biden with the Medal of Freedom turns into meme
http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/314348-obama-surprising-biden-with-the-medal-of-freedom-has-become-a
01/14/17 - President Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to an emotional Vice President Biden during a surprise event Thursday at the White House.
Biden turned around and burst into tears as Obama made the announcement in front of White House staff in the State Dining Room.
The president said he was bestowing the nation’s highest civilian honor on his vice president “for your faith in your fellow Americans, for your love of country and for you lifetime of service that will endure through the generations.”
The award caught Biden and much of the world off guard, as the event had been billed just hours before as a final tribute for the vice president and the medal had not been mentioned.
The moment quickly turned into a meme online, joining countless others involving Biden and Obama's relationship.

Trump In The Clear From Secret Dossier As U.S. Chan Try To Destroy And Cause A Coup On New President (Enclosed Secret Document) ID: Z4k N0VA7
http://novorossia.today/156664-2/
January 14, 2017 - Our whistleblowers gave us information that Russia was going to face great provocation. The Americans intend to manufacture false evidence of the Russian security services’ involvement in cyber attacks during the U.S. presidential elections 2016. (Copy of email)
We cover the names of the provocation facilitators in order not to expose our sources. It is worth saying, a famous American politician and major financier took part in the plot. (Comment - Wonder if the politician and financier might be John McCain and Soros?)

US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a statement that he did not believe the US intelligence community leaked the private security document.
“I emphasized that this document is not a US Intelligence Community product and that I do not believe the leaks came from within the IC,” Mr. Clapper said.
4:39am Trump tweets
Donald Trump has again hit out at the media after his first press conference since the election. The president-elect attacked CNN and Buzzfeed for reporting allegations of compromising behavior by Mr. Trump and alleged links between him and people in Russia.
He later tweeted: “We had a great News Conference at Trump Tower today. A couple of FAKE NEWS organizations were there but the people truly get what’s going on.”
3:29am Clapper speaks with Trump
US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says he has spoken with Mr. Trump to discuss media leaks of the classified intelligence briefing that Trump received last Friday and has assured him that the intelligence community “stands ready to serve his administration.”
Mr. Clapper says he does not believe the US intelligence community leaked a private security document alleging Russian intelligence operatives have compromising information on Mr. Trump
“I expressed my profound dismay at the leaks that have been appearing in the press, and we both agreed that they are extremely corrosive and damaging to our national security,” Mr. Clapper said of last week’s briefing.

“The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions.”
The statement came after Mr. Trump tweeted: “Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to “leak” into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany.
