Mark Maxwell of Independent TV Station WHDT* gave Ray McGovern, (the CIA White House daily briefer for three American presidents) enough time Thursday to expose the public push for something entirely new in U.S. history; a concerted Establishment campaign to effect a “pre-emptive coup” by flipping tomorrow’s vote of the electoral collect prevent.
NSA Holds Key To Russian Hacking Allegations
Interview with Ex-CIA Analyst Ray McGovern
Dear Friends,
None of us enjoy reading about the decline of our country or the west (read the article below). However, the handwriting is on the wall, we need to admit that we are at this juncture. Even so, I’m convinced we can begin to move this country forward in constructive directions; we can stave off decline and build a better future for our children and our country. Of course, it will take a lot of work. The first step is to getting clear about the situation we are in, and secondly …. begin local and nationwide discussions through email regarding how we can get America back on the incline track again.
If we sent jobs abroad … we can bring them back again!
Let us “think out-of-the-box.” We are inventive, creative people. We can come up with thousands of constructive ideas for putting people back to work again, for creating product in this country rather than sending production and jobs out all over the world. If it’s been sent offshore, how can we get it back here? My #1 question is, “Why did former national leaders allow this to happen? Didn’t they see this disaster coming?!”
Dear CCI Friends,
Read and ponder the following article by Peter Bergel.
I didn’t know of Peter until he signed up and traveled on CCI’s June trip to Russia. I admired this tall man’s quiet presence and positions every day of the trip. And I’m delighted but not surprised to get this article in the morning’s mail.
In this email, Peter has articulated a culmination of the many thoughts that have gone through my mind (and no doubt yours) daily over the past couple of weeks; yet I hadn’t been able formulate them into a succinct message. Peter has put it into words for us. Let us all consider his list of suggestions of how we can live above the fray of fighting, accusing, spouting angry words and uncivil discourse — and make statements of our own that will influence others and support the best that might happen in these ensuing rocky days.
Take special note below of: 100 Days of Peace and Justice. As Peter says, “Just do it.”

By Peter BergelThe election is over and Trump won. In a country with a sane election system, he would not have, but we have the Electoral College, so he did. In Joe Hill’s immortal words, “Don’t mourn; organize!”
Hidden in those words is one of the silver linings that surrounds Trump’s cloud. Look around. People are organizing as they have not done since 2003, when the Iraq invasion was imminent, and maybe even not since the 1960s anti-war efforts. People are coming together to protect each other from racist attacks, support the water protectors at Standing Rock, counter hate speech with love, sustain the environmental gains we have struggled for, continue efforts to halt climate change, reorganize the Democratic Party, protect a woman’s right to choose, and more.
I have watched incredulous as the CIA’s blatant lie has grown and grown as a media story – blatant because the CIA has made no attempt whatsoever to substantiate it. There is no Russian involvement in the leaks of emails showing Clinton’s corruption. Yes this rubbish has been the lead today in the Washington Post in the US and the Guardian here, and was the lead item on the BBC main news. I suspect it is leading the American broadcasts also.
A little simple logic demolishes the CIA’s claims. The CIA claim they “know the individuals” involved. Yet under Obama the USA has been absolutely ruthless in its persecution of whistleblowers, and its pursuit of foreign hackers through extradition. We are supposed to believe that in the most vital instance imaginable, an attempt by a foreign power to destabilise a US election, even though the CIA knows who the individuals are, nobody is going to be arrested or extradited, or (if in Russia) made subject to yet more banking and other restrictions against Russian individuals? Plainly it stinks. The anonymous source claims of “We know who it was, it was the Russians” are beneath contempt.
