As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This Paul Whelan is becoming a bit more of nuance in the cloak and dagger world, as for all intensive purposes he has the appearance of a rather 1950's badly created asset following the same pattern as the person who became known as Lee Harvey Oswald.
Oswald served overseas in a non Russian theater of Korea. Whelan served in Iraq. Both were busy learning Russian, showing an obsession with the state, and after some interesting exit from the military, both ended up in Moscow to become an international problem for the two nations.
Whelan would set off FSB red flags all in what he was engaged in, from internet sites to trips to Moscow to his somehow founding a security firm for American corporations. That stinks to a Russian of CIA and that is the signature which would have Whelan monitored constantly.
It did not help that Whelan had four passports which is not legal.
The American detained in Russia has four passports. That could help him - or hurt him.He was discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps in 2008 for bad conduct. He has dozens of Russian friends on Russian social media site …
It did not help that this Whelan was booted out of the Marines for stealing a huge amount of money, and yet he had the money to found a security business, which would set off red flags as dishonorable discharges are not things which corporations seeking security appreciate.
The Marine Corps found Paul Whelan, the American citizen detained by Russia on espionage charges, guilty of attempting to steal more than $10,000 worth of currency from the U.S. government while deployed to Iraq in 2006 and bouncing nearly $6,000 worth of checks around the same time, according to records obtained by The Washington Post.
Then Whelan was making contacts with Russian military people. Again another blantant red flag, as much as Whelan constantly publishing about KGB sites and Americans detained there.
The meeting of Russians and yes some were FSB monitors, is what the Russians meant in the charges that Whelan had attended a gathering of spies. He did in fact attend a FSB mole meeting with other pro American groupies, in the same fashion as Hutatree manufactured with the BATFE for Obama to get Conservatives into trouble.
as well as photos of Russians he counted as friends, some of whom he said were serving in the Russian military at the time. Any attempt by Whelan to make inroads with Russian active-duty soldiers while an active-duty Marine could have put him on the radar of Russia’s security services.
Then of course the ringer appears in this in what the Russians apparently were angling for in this operation, in the release of Robert Mueller's witch hunt
Whelan’s Russian lawyer, who is a former Soviet government investigator, has indicated that he hopes his client might be traded for Butina, telling the Daily Beast that he wants to bring back “at least one Russian soul.”
This is the ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald past, present and future. There is something disturbing in this in everything which is wrong in Whelan is convicted for stealing, but not any jail time, just broken in rank and pay. This looks deep state in they wanted him on the outside, and he was in Moscow causing problems by design, and this all centers on the Robert Mueller witch hunt arrest of an innocent Russian woman who liked the NRA and promoting right wingers in America for Moscow.
Whelan began traveling to Russia at least two years before his discharge from the Marines. Those who served with him in Iraq in 2006 recalled that he was learning Russian for fun during the deployment and took a vacation to Moscow and St. Petersburg during their weeks off, when many of the Marines went home to visit family.
And lastly, enter Theresa May, Christopher Steele, MI6 and Pissgate, in Paul Whelan's passports as an American, like Obama who was a Birther, now have for some reason involved the governments of Britain and Ireland. Translate that as to what the hell this really looks like in Paul Whelan's parents were assets of MI6, came to Canada, birthed Paul Whelan like Obama was Brithered in Hawaii, Whelan came to America in the Marines swearing allegiance, and it appears that he was really Her Majesty's troll, in the the Isles are now trying to get one of their assets back.
Whelan also carried passports from Canada, where he was born, as well as Britain and Ireland. Whelan obtained the two European passports through family lineage.A person familiar with Whelan’s case said he has a total of four passports. “He collected them as a game. There was an ongoing competition with his sister to see who could get the most,” the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity surrounding the situation.Both Britain and Ireland are seeking consular access to Whelan, who is being held in prison on the outskirts of Moscow.
This was not a game. No government is going to waste time on a kook collecting passports, but will instead prosecute them and in best resort, let the Russians put him in to a dungeon to handle the matter. This was a deliberate red flagging of Russian intelligence so they would go after Whelan.
In the American reaction in Sec. Mike Pompeo, who was with CIA, it appears the Americans have figured this out in this like Pissgate was coming out of London, and they are not going to get involved in a pissing contest with Moscow over an asset of London's MI6.
By all appearances, someone in MI6 created a Lee Harvey Oswald for whatever reason, using the American intelligence prototype for another deeper operation.
This was designed by London to cause more trouble for Donald Trump. Mr. President should leave this situation alone and not touch it as handing over the hot Russian conviction, will have him investigated for obstructing justice. The Russians have Theresa May's asset. Let them deal with it as America does not need any more ghosts of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Nuff Said
