Trump’s possible backtracking on withdrawal from Syria means he may have been once again outmaneuvered by the Deep State, says Virginia State Senator Dick Black. Following the outcry after President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was pulling U.S. troops from Syria, it appears that Trump may be succumbing to political pressure. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) visited the White House on Dec. 30 and afterward told reporters: “We talked about Syria. He told me some things I didn’t know that made me feel a lot better about where we’re headed in Syria,” Graham said. Trump’s withdrawal plans are “slowing down in a smart way,” Graham said, according to NBC News. The Washington Post added: ” ‘Graham described Trump’s decision as ‘a pause situation’ rather than a withdrawal, telling reporters, “I think the president’s taking this really seriously.” Graham said: “He promised to destroy ISIS. He’s going to keep that promise. We’re not there yet. But as I said today, we’re inside the 10-yard line, and the president understands the need to finish the job.”
The mainstream media refuses to acknowledge that the hardest fighting against ISIS and al Qaeda has been done by Syria and its allies. Indeed, we label Iran’s fight against Syrian terrorists as “malign activity,” ignoring the fact that al Qaeda in Syria [al Nusra] is the progeny of the al Qaeda force that highjacked jets and flew them into the Twin Towers and Pentagon, killing 3,000 Americans on 9-11.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Seymour Hersh, wrote that a Defense Intelligence Agency review of Syrian policy in 2013 revealed that clandestine CIA Program Timber Sycamore, had degenerated into a program that armed all terrorists indiscriminately, specifically including ISIS and al Qaeda. I seriously doubt that this was merely a program failure. There is strong evidence that the U.S. planned to overthrow Syria in 2001; the U.S. Embassy in Damascus issued a detailed strategy to destabilize Syria in 2006–long before the so-called “Arab Spring;” and that our focus has consistently been on toppling the duly elected, constitutional and UN-recognized government of Syria.
It’s sickening to hear these clowns repeatedly claim that “Assad murdered 500,000 of his people,” as though the U.S.-backed terrorists have played no role in the killings. I’ve viewed hundreds of beheadings and crucifixions online but none committed by Syria troops–all were proudly posted by the hellish filth that we’ve recruited, armed and trained for the past eight years. Major war crimes, like beheading 250 Syrian soldiers after running them across the desert in their underpants, were scarcely mentioned by the MSM.
During a five-hour drive across liberated Syria this September, I spoke with many people, from desert shepherds, to nuns and Muslim religious. There were palpable expressions of joy that the Syrian armed forces had liberated them from the terrorists. That was coupled with broad-based, unequivocal support for President Bashar al Assad and the Syrian Armed Forces.
This disastrous war would never have occurred without American planning and execution. And it would have ended years and hundreds of thousands of casualties ago had we closed our training and logistics bases in Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Syrian War had little to do with the “Arab Spring” and much to do with clandestine actions of CIA, MI-6, Mossad, Turkish MIT, French DGSE, Saudi GID and others, working with the savage Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. We trained and recruited far more terrorists than we killed, and we will encounter those survivors again, at other times and places.
It is instructive that, despite President Donald Trump’s strong directive on a rapid Syrian pull-out, apparently not one soldier or Marine has departed Syria. And the argument that they’re tied up with fighting ISIS doesn’t hold water. On Syria’s southern border, across from Jordan, lies the U.S. base at al Tanf. ISIS is nowhere around. Al Tanf’s sole purpose is to hold and defend the sovereign territory of Syria (using a 55 km no-fly zone). It denies Syria the right to restore order and provide aid to starving Syrians trapped in the American zone.
Al Tanf is the canary in the Syrian coal mine. If Trump’s pullout has any credibility, the 800 or so troops and equipment assigned there could be withdrawn across the Jordanian border within 24 hours. Their failure to do so suggests duplicity by our foreign policy shadow government. The Pentagon seems unresponsive to the Commander-in-Chief, and he has surrounded himself with advisors whose allegiance does not lie with him–or with the American people.

Dick Black and His Band – A Taste of Dick Black
Dick Black bent over backwards to defend Syria’s dictator.
Casey Michel at ThinkProgress:
One of the most outspoken defenders of Syria’s dictator and Russia’s propaganda machine has announced his retirement from the Virginia State Senate.
On Monday, Dick Black announced on Facebook that he would not seek re-election to the Virginia Sate Senate, where he’s served for seven years. Black didn’t specify any particular reason for his retirement, writing only that he is “looking forward to the next chapter.”
While Black isn’t a household name, he has made a name for himself in national security circles for the past few years. He became an outspoken defender of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and Russian propaganda alike, and lately took on a notable role in pushing pro-Trump conspiracy theories about former FBI official Andrew McCabe.
Black did not respond to ThinkProgress’ request for comment.
In 2016, Black took a now-infamous trip to Syria, where he had a two-hour meeting with Assad. The Syrian government published photos of their handshake. In the midst of the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons and barrel bombs against civilian populations, Black announced that he didn’t believe the Assad regime “favors any sort of widespread improper conduct.”
“There was sort of a spring in [Assad’s] step and a sense of joy and optimism, and looking out to the future and bringing the nation together,” Black later said.
The visit also came after Black wrote a letter to Assad praising him for his leadership. According to Black, Assad was a “heroic” leader. (A fellow Republican joked at the time, “What’s the matter, Dick? Kim Jong Un not returning your text messages?”) Black would go on to say that the U.S. could not allow Assad to be toppled.
Black’s support for Assad has, unsurprisingly, veered wildly into conspiratorial territory. In September, for instance, Black announced that Britain’s MI6 intelligence agency was plotting a chemical weapons attack in Syria — an attack that, Black explained, London would later blame on Assad.
But Black’s thirst for conspiracy didn’t end in Syria. Instead, it made him a favorite of another font of conspiracy: Russian propaganda outlet RT, which regularly featured Black to prop up Kremlin talking points. (RT mis-identified Black as a “Virginia Senator.”)
Despite the role RT played in Russia’s 2016 interference efforts, Black had no problem making multiple appearances on the outlet in 2018. Black also claimedthat the Russian propaganda outlet was “the only credible mainstream media dealing with the Syrian conflict.”
As Black said in a separate interview, Russia is “not a threat to the United States” — contrary to almost every intelligence assessment the U.S. has.
“Virginians deserve public officials who go to Richmond to improve their lives, not ones that defend murderous foreign dictators, discriminate against the LGBTQ community and attack women’s health care rights,” Democratic Party of Virginia spokesperson Jake Rubenstein told ThinkProgress. “We look forward to replacing Senator Black with a Democrat whose focus will be lifting up his or her constituents in Prince William and Loudoun Counties.”
Did Andrew McCabe Set a Rat Trap for Senator Black?
"They never thought she would lose." - #Q
Booz Allen Hamilton whistleblower, Scott Bennett, gave an interview recently to Jason Goodman wherein a little gem was dropped at the very end of the show. It's starting to look as if a charge of conspiracy to entrap a U.S. senator might possibly be added to the growing list of treasonable offenses committed by disgraced FBI Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe.
At the 1-hour-and-11-minute marker in this video linked below, Bennett has made the claim that, during 2015, when McCabe's wife Jill was running for Virginia State Senate against incumbent Senator Dick Black, McCabe sent four FBI agents to Black with an offer he happily refused.
The story was spun to Senator Black that the FBI wanted his help in arranging a negotiation between the US government and certain Syrian "freedom fighters" (cough, cough) in an attempt to secure the release of some Syrian journalist sitting in jail. Black was no stranger to Syria, having visited sacred sites like Palmyra and praising President Assad for his efforts in protecting Christians in that country. The senator would be a logical candidate for such a meeting.
However, the senator smelled a rat and after his staff sniffed out the scheme, they realized that Senator Black was being deliberately set up for blackmail by FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Once the meeting with these terrorists was recorded, McCabe was planning to leak that tidbit to the media and let his wife, Jill, use that #FakeNews as part of her smear campaign against the Senator.
Apparently, the $500,000 to $1 million that Clinton supporters gave to his wife's campaign - which comprised about one-third of her total campaign support - wasn't enough to do the job. She lost her bid for the senate seat in 2015.
Again, Dead Babies
One of the reasons she lost was the effective smear campaign that Black launched against Jill, which was the allegation that Jill McCabe, in her medical position with Inova Loudon Hospital and her links to Planned Parenthood, was profiting from the illegal sale of body parts gleaned from aborted fetuses.
Now, I'm not going to launch a tirade against Planned Parenthood or the abortion issue or the ethics of selling stem cell tissue. However, in researching this story, I did raise an eyebrow over yet another coincidence:
Wherever Hillary Clinton goes, sacrificed babies seem to follow.
It is still a bit of a mystery to me why the Clintons were so aggressive to get their gal Jill McCabe into the Virginia senate. A half million dollars or more and the treasonous entrapment of a sitting senator is an awfully high price to pay, even for them. Is there something we're missing here? Is it possible that Dr. Jill McCabe has been providing some kind of covert "disposal service" to the sacrificing Satanists who seem to pop up whenever Hillary's name is mentioned? Was Jill McCabe the victim of yet another Hillary Clinton broken promise of political advancement and now that bill sits unpaid by the Clinton Foundation?
I'll just leave that there and we'll see what develops. The McCabe Family has certainly learned a hard lesson on what it means to be left high, dry, and hanging in the wind ... not unlike what was done to Ambassador Stevens.
Benghazi
One thing we do know is that Andrew McCabe did secure the sham arrest of Ahmed Abu Khattala, the Syrian terrorist scapegoat upon whom the FBI pinned Hillary Clinton's sacrifice of Libyan ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens on September 11, 2012 in Benghazi. Khattala was later acquitted of 14 out of 18 charges. He was only convicted of conspiring to support terrorism. In Syria, I would think that amounts to something like a liquor store robbery.
Just for laughs, here's what WaPo was saying in praise of McCabe back in 2014:
Newly at the helm of the Washington field office is Andrew G. McCabe, 46, a rising star in the FBI whom many bureau officials think will be the next deputy director when Mark F. Giuliano retires.... "It’s been an intense couple of years," McCabe says.
Yup, that worked out well. Oh and did we mention that McCabe was sitting on all that lurid evidence found on Anthony Weiner's laptop in 2016? You know, the files like Huma Abedin's "insurance" video, that final nail in the HRC coffin that the #QAnon Faithful are constantly clamoring to have released to the public?
So, here we are, on the eve of Beltane 2018, halfway between spring and summer. #QAnon has promised lots of "May flowers." We may wonder if the McCabe family is now ready to do some spring planting of their own. It would be a shame to let all those secrets go to waste.

Fort some reason one does not usually think of Alabama as a hotbed for modern metal, yet BrokenRail is quickly proving the South has something fresh to offer in a genre often stale with generic detritus. The band got its start in 2008, looking to follow the direction of artists such as Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, Hinder

The gift was approved despite post-McDonnell reforms because the donor is not a lobbyist or contractor.
The Virginia state senator who met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad last week made his unlikely journey at the expense of a Florida businessman, who estimated the cost was $10,000.
State ethics officials signed off on the gift to Sen. Richard H. Black (R-Loudoun) ahead of his trip to the war-torn country, finding that it complied with state ethics laws. He will be required to report the free business-class air travel and accommodations on the financial disclosure form he files with the state.
But Black is not sure how to put a dollar figure on something the Syrian government lavished on him during his visit: security.
“We went around in a four-ton, bulletproof car,” he said. “When we went to Palmyra, as we were traveling some of the roads, they had a very large assault jet flying in at treetop level with ear-splitting roars. And on the other side were four assault helicopters. And we had a truck with a dual-barreled cannon on the front.”

State Sen. Richard Black's trip to war-torn Syria obviously isn't a secret, but will Virginia's new ethics laws eventually require him to disclose who paid for the trip?
Probably not, except maybe, it's hard to say.
The case presents unusual circumstances that highlight the nuance of a still evolving ethics law, and the difficulty determining where some of the more complicated lines are. The press and public can't simply ask the state's new ethics council staff for clarity because a little-noticed change in the law last year restricted staffers to giving advice only to legislators, lobbyists and others who must file ethics disclosures.
Black, R-Leesburg, has not said who paid for this trip, or who arranged for him to fly into Syria, which is not the simplest task. He told The Washington Post he'd discuss this upon his return.
