TDS Guy Writes Anonymous Book Smearing Trump (Hake News, Fri 10/25/19)
HAKE NEWS, HOUR 1: Friday, October 25 (not 28th), 2019 -
(Drudge) RUSSIA TESTS DISCONNECTING FROM INTERNET (Defense One) The nascent RuNet is meant to allow the country to survive an attack — and Putin to monitor and control the population. Russia will test its internal RuNet network to see whether the country can function without the global internet, the Russian government announced Monday. The tests will begin after Nov. 1, recur at least annually, and possibly more frequently. It’s the latest move in a series of technical and policy steps intended to allow the Russian government to cut its citizens off from the rest of the world. INTERESTING!
“On Monday, the government approved the provision on conducting exercises to ensure the stable, safe and holistic functioning of the Internet and public communications networks in the Russian Federation,” notes an article in D-Russia. (The original article is in Russian. We verified a translation with the help of a native Russian speaker.) “The exercises are held at the federal (in the territory of the Russian Federation) and regional (in the territory of one or more constituent entities of the Russian Federation) levels.”
The word “holistic” shows that the exercises follow April’s passage of the sovereign internet law that will require all internet traffic in Russia to pass through official chokepoints, allowing the government to shut down outside access, block websites that they don’t like, and monitor traffic.
In 2016, Russia launched the Closed Data Transfer Segment: basically, a big military intranet for classified data, similar to the Pentagon’s Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System. The following year, Russia announced that it intends to build its own domain name directory, which would allow it to re-route traffic intended for one website to another. And last year, Putin’s top IT advisor Herman Klimenko and others suggested that the military intranet, properly expanded, might be able to carry the rest of the country’s internet traffic. Klimenko cautioned that moving to the new system would be painful — and as recently as March, Gen. Paul Nakasone, director of U.S. Cyber Command and the NSA, expressed skepticism that Russia would succeed.
(Drudge) Justice Dept opens criminal probe -- into own Russia investigation… NICE. (NY Times via MSN) For more than two years, President Trump has repeatedly attacked the Russia investigation, portraying it as a hoax and illegal even months after the special counsel closed it. Now, Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into how it all began. EXCELLENT.
Justice Department officials have shifted an administrative review of the Russia investigation closely overseen by Attorney General William P. Barr to a criminal inquiry, according to two people familiar with the matter. The move gives the prosecutor running it, John H. Durham, the power to subpoena for witness testimony and documents, to convene a grand jury and to file criminal charges. NIIICE!
The opening of a criminal investigation is likely to raise alarms that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies. (WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATS’ IMPEACHMENT IS, NY TIMES? STUPID.) Mr. Trump fired James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director under whose watch agents opened the Russia inquiry, and has long assailed other top former law enforcement and intelligence officials as partisans who sought to block his election.
LISTEN TO HOW THEY WROTE THIS: Mr. Trump has made clear that he sees the typically independent Justice Department as a tool to be wielded against his political enemies. (THAT’S AMERICA’S ENEMIES.) That view factors into the impeachment investigation against him (DEMS AND MEDIA’S EXCUSE), as does his long obsession (OBSESSION!) with the origins of the Russia inquiry (CURIOUS THAT THE MEDIA’S NOT CURIOUS!). House Democrats are examining in part whether his pressure on Ukraine to open investigations into theories about the 2016 election constituted an abuse of power. KEEP FIGHTING, GOOD GUYS!
The move also creates an unusual situation in which the Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into itself. DEEP STATE!

HAKE NEWS, HOUR 2: Friday, October 25 (NOT the 28th!), 2019 -
(Drudge) Impeachment horror plunges DC into early Halloween… Fun little article in AFP shared by Yahoo News: Trump denounced Never Trumpers as "human scum." A gang of loyal Republican congress members stormed a secure briefing room to stop a Democratic-led impeachment hearing, claiming that a "Soviet style" process was underway. Then they ordered pizza. Not to be out-crazed, Democrat Barack Obama's former national security advisor Susan Rice (OF BENGHAZI VIDEO FAKE NEWS INFAMY!) went on air to brand a senior Republican senator and Trump booster, Lindsey Graham, a "piece of sh—." Meanwhile Hillary Clinton rambled about Russia's "grooming" of a third party candidate in 2020 — trashing Tulsi Gabbard.
The President confronts the limits of his defense strategy… according to far-left anti-Trump AP News. I GUESS HIS STRATEGY IS TO SAY HIS UKRAINE CALL WAS PERFECT, AND ATTACKING DO-NOTHING DEMOCRATS. AP claims there’s a near-daily drip of derogatory evidence (NO EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING! JUST CLAIMS FROM THE SWAMP) emerges from closed-door testimony on Capitol Hill. Also: Some senior officials have complied with congressional subpoenas to assist House Democratic investigators, defying White House orders. SWAMP!
Republican senators fear losing fight… BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, COWARDLY RINOs! The Hill quotes one RINO: “Does he need to be so unhinged? He says the dumbest things,” said one Republican senator who vented frustration with the president’s outbursts on Twitter and in front of the White House press corps. (OH PLEASE! HE SAYS THE TRUEST THINGS) That RINO went on: “Yeah, there needs to be a coordinated response to everything. There needs to be a coordinated effort to just shut up,” the senator said. There are vulnerable Senate GOP incumbents such as Sens. Susan Collins (Maine — I’D WOULDN’T BE MAD IF SHE WERE GONE, RINO), Martha McSally (RINO, Ariz., but at least she signed a resolution condemning impeachment), Cory Gardner(Colo.), Joni Ernst (RINO, Iowa) and Thom Tillis (N.C.).
(Drudge) Bolton Silence Hangs Over Inquiry… (Bloomberg via MSN) Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, John Bolton, is likely to be called as a witness in the intensifying House impeachment inquiry, and no one -- including the president -- can be sure what he’ll say. HE’S A RINO! Multiple witnesses have testified that Bolton -- who was ousted from the White House last month -- expressed open contempt for efforts to seek politically motivated investigations from Ukraine that are now the heart of the House investigation. HE’S AN ESTABLISHMENT RINO. THE INVESTIGATIONS ARE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
The testimony, punctuated by a damaging account from the current U.S. envoy to Ukraine, William Taylor, on Tuesday, underscores that a pivotal witness remains waiting in the wings. Some House Democrats have already called for Bolton to appear in the inquiry, likely expecting that his acrimonious departure from Trump’s administration means he’ll feel free to speak out against his former boss.
Revenge of the fired Trump officials… EVIL! (The Week) John Bolton seemed to have resigned in order to avoid being fired unceremoniously, Rex Tillerson was fired. James Mattis was forced into retirement, announced via Twitter. Trump reportedly suspects Bolton was behind some of the leaks. It seems likely that both he and Mattis will testify before the House at some point alongside at least nine other current or former administration officials. From what the media are claiming, Mattis seems to be betraying Trump.

Anti-Trump book by an anonymous supposed senior Trump Administration Official — a coward!
(Drudge) 'Anonymous' to expose private conversations… (Far-left Axios) The anonymous so-called "senior Trump administration official" who will release a tell-all book, "A Warning," next month was a frequent participant in meetings with President Trump and supposedly plans to recount specific conversations. This traitor has been silent since last year's mysterious New York Times so-called “Resistance” op-ed, and has access to extensive, internal notes that will be revealed in the book, out Nov. 19. This is a Trump-hater trying to smear his character. “You will hear a great deal from Donald Trump directly, for there is no better witness to his character than his own words,” the author writes on the book's back cover, seen for the first time in a graphic the far-left Axios released. WHAT A FAKE. "Hopefully others will remedy the error of silence and speak out," the author says on the jacket.
The book hit #1 on Amazon (as a pre-release) within 24 hours of its announcement. This person has agreed to at least one interview with a journalist to coincide with publication. The format and interviewer haven't been decided. The author, who's being called the original whistleblower of this administration, will explain the decision to remain unknown. TRUMP IS THE WHISTLEBLOWER, NOT THESE COWARDS.
(Drudge) POLL: MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT TO RE-WRITE FIRST AMENDMENT TO STOP 'HATE SPEECH'... DEPORT THE MAJORITY! (Wash. Free Beacon) More than 60 percent of Americans agree on restricting speech in some way, while a slim majority, 51 percent, want to see the First Amendment rewritten to "reflect the cultural norms of today." The Campaign for Free Speech, which conducted the survey, said the results "indicate free speech is under more threat than previously believed."
Of the 1,004 respondents, young people were the most likely to support curbing free expression and punishing those who engage in "hate speech." Nearly 60 percent of Millennials—respondents between the ages of 21 and 38—agreed that the Constitution "goes too far in allowing hate speech in modern America" and should be rewritten, compared to 48 percent of Gen Xers and 47 percent of Baby Boomers. A majority of Millennials also supported laws that would make "hate speech" a crime—of those supporters, 54 percent said violators should face jail time.
Many would also like to see a crackdown on the free press. Nearly 60 percent of respondents agreed that the "government should be able to take action against newspapers and TV stations that publish content that is biased, inflammatory, or false." Of those respondents, 46 percent supported possible jail time.
The poll was released just two days after two University of Connecticut students were arrested for allegedly saying racial slurs in a viral video. The 21-year-old suspects were allegedly playing "a game in which they yelled vulgar words," according to the police report. Campaign for Free Speech executive director Bob Lystad said such incidents and the rise of social media may be behind the increased willingness of Americans to curb speech rights.
Quote: "Hate speech should be condemned, but legally, the answer to speech we don't like is more speech, not censorship," he said. "Our primary focus is education, and to help people better understand the First Amendment, free speech, free press, and why it's so vital to our democracy."

The Hake Report, Friday, October 25, 2019, live at 9 AM PT, Hour 4 of Jesse Lee Peterson’s stream on YouTube, Periscope, DLive, Mixer, and live audio via http://jlptalk.com Podcast afterward via http://thehakereport.com/podcast
ANNOUNCEMENT: No Church on Sunday, but I’ll be hosting The Hake Report Sunday 9 AM PT on my channels as normal. Jesse will be back Monday for his radio show of course. (Jesse’s going to be at Politicon Sunday for a debate, supposedly with John Fugelsang, which should be fun.)
NEWS…
(Drudge) Fires explode across California… (LA Times) At least 6 Homes destroyed… in Santa Clarita up 40 mins north of here in L.A. … Local news reported two people died in an apartment fire in Azusa, CA (40 mins east of here, Joel’s side of town). Punishing winds could last… (AP) California’s biggest utility PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric Co.) admits its electrical equipment may have started a wildfire in wine country (Sonoma County), despite blackouts. WEEKEND: Massive power outages… across parts of California. It’s supposed to be cooler this weekend in SoCal, but in L.A. it’s projected to be mid-to-high 80s (92 today).
I’m still unclear about the Hong Kong protests…
I watched a Hoover Institute video with a guy Jimmy Lai on the Hong Kong protests….
He said: Trump is used to dealing with gangsters (QUOTE 4). So he has hope with China.
He talked about how NBA bowing to China was an insult to Americans (QUOTES 2-3), and we blame NBA for it. (I have some QUOTES [00-01] from people about people caring more about economics than dignity.)
As a British colony, they did not have “democracy,” but they had rule of law, free speech (supposedly), free association, etc. So young people grew up knowing freedom.
The extradition bill was in response to a murder, in which the suspect committed a murder in Taiwan (allegedly killed his pregnant girlfriend), and then went to Hong Kong* — reminds me of politicians pushing gun control.
(CGTN - China Global Television Network YouTube and South China Morning Post) Chan Tong-kai, who is suspected of murdering his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan, was released from prison on Wednesday. He was arrested and sentenced to prison in Hong Kong for money laundering. Chan's case prompted the Hong Kong government to propose a fugitive bill, which has since sparked months of unrest in the city.
Back to Jimmy Lai: He said China sees its deals and economics as WARFARE. They’re not wrong. They break rules like crazy. (I talked with a guy who’s not that into politics but who knows how much they cheat and how corrupt they are in their businesses and production.)
I was thinking about how when we establish a country or government, we seek to associate with people of good character. (No system will work if you don’t have that.) Good character is not present among American democrats and press today, and even is lacking among American Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and even many of the Alt-Lite or Alt-Right, and of course not the Green Party, Communists, Socialists, Antifa, etc. Some of them you can work with. Trump can.
It was remarkable what the Hoover Institute guy Peter Robinson said that Jimmy Lai has been through; he’s been followed, family threatened, etc. He says he decided to drop the fear and carefulness and just do what’s right, because they can do what they want to him when they want. I’d like to see how he is in other situations, and what he thinks of the riots, police shootings, etc.
Caller Log, courtesy of Jesse’s producer, Nick
Al from Detroit, MI has a story of a local University, Wayne State University, that is offering free tuition. Al suspects that it’s only happening because of the high percentage of non whites that go to that school. To Al this screams “free tuition if you’re not white.”
Lunette from Australia wants James take on the incarceration over Marijuana. Lunette wonders if pot is legalized shouldn’t the people in jail over it be released? James has concerns because people don’t realize that these people are worse criminals than people realize. Lunette challenges James because it’s non violent crime why not let them out but James makes the remark that drug dealers support some of the most violent organizations out there, whether knowingly or inadvertently. She also has a news tip about the officer that was fired over the Eric Garner incident, Officer Pantaleo. He is appealing the decision to fire him.
Micah from North Carolina wants to thank James for his show. He asks James if he saw Elizabeth Warren cheering on a so-called trans child. Micah is sickened by the evil inflicted on these kids.
Rick from Hampton, VA wants to comment on Jesse’s view of divorce. He says that if you divorce you really are still married to the first one. Rick reveals a bit of his life and he explains how he married again after his first wife and has kids. Rick has a story of his daughter who was overhearing gossip and she didn’t like that so she went and told the person who was being gossiped on.
Chris from Arizona is happy that the wall going up! Chris brings up Anne Coulter and her criticisms of Trump. You can call it nitpicking or valid comments says James but the truth is that Trump is fighting an uphill battle on pretty much every front. James has faith in Trump and he considers that he is keeping his promises. Chris has some final comments about Joe Arpaio
Donning Armor from California has an interesting story out of Canada where liquor stores have taken a “zero resistance policy” on thievery so viral videos have come out of thieves brazenly taking product and clerks have to stand by helpless. James remarks that this “fake compassion” actually pushes people to get worse.
Brandon from Oakland, CA is a fan of Hake report and is happy to see James show getting good. He admits how he used to skip the show but has really seen James grow. Brandon is impressed by how James keeps going forward.
