Washington Post’s

Newest Fantasy 

Obama's secret struggle to punish Russian for Putin's election assult

Early last August, an envelope with extraordinary handling restrictions arrived at the White House. Sent by courier from the CIA, it carried “eyes only” instructions that its contents be shown to just four people: President Barack Obama and three senior aides. 

Inside was an intelligence bombshell, a report drawn from sourcing deep inside the Russian government that detailed Russian President Vladi­mir Putin’s direct involvement in a cyber campaign to disrupt and discredit the U.S. presidential race. 

But it went further. The intelligence captured Putin’s specific instructions on the operation’s audacious objectives — defeat or at least damage the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, and help elect her opponent, Donald Trump.

 Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Washington Post and the CIA

But it was less than three years ago that Amazon began to achieve any profits to speak of. And, even today, you’d be shocked to know how high its revenues are and how relatively low its profits are. 

For instance, in 2015, Amazon’s fourth quarter revenues were an astronomical $35.7 billion. But its net income was, by comparison, a measly $482 million. Last year, Amazon’s fourth quarter revenue was up 22 percent to $43.7 billion. It’s net income was $749 million. 

I tell you all this so you don’t think what I’m about to tell you represents chump change for Amazon and Bezos. 

The first profitable year for Amazon was 2013. Fourth quarter profits were $239 million and $274 million for the year. The year before, Amazon posted a loss for 2012 of $39 million. 

What happened to make 2013 so much better than the year before? 

Amazon won a $600 million cloud computer contract from the CIA. That was the difference – more than the difference. 

Later that year, Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million. 

To put that another way, Bezos used less than half the money he got from the CIA to buy the Washington Post. 

Do you think that was a sweetheart deal? 

I do. And like others, I believe it’s something Americans should know about. For instance, the Washington Post often quotes unnamed CIA sources in its reporting. Yet, the Post doesn’t disclose that the CIA paid the owner of the paper more than twice what it cost to buy it. You won’t find any mention of this deal on the Washington Post’s Wikipedia page, either. Not worth mentioning, apparently. 

The Washington Post has been on the Russian-Trump story like white on rice ever since – along with the New York Times, CNN, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and the rest of the pack of jackals. This investigation has been going on since 2016, yet no evidence has been found to support the “collusion.” 

Wouldn’t you like to see an investigation into the collusion between John Brennan, Jeff Bezos, Amazon, the Washington Post and the CIA? 

I sure would.

DYI:  Anything that comes out of the Washington Post should be held to the highest level of skepticism all to the benefit of the deep state and the entrenched political class whether Democrat’s or Republican’s.  Their goal is a one world government run by a corporate feudal state and anyone of importance who stands in their way (deep state – corporate elites) will be either be ignored, dismissed, ridiculed, or smeared by the main stream legacy press.
