More interesting dots connecting.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross divested many of his holdings. One holding he kept was in a company called Navigator Holdings, a shipping company specializing in transporting liquified natural gas around the world.

The (in)famous Paradise Papers have exposed that Ross has made millions from his holding in Navigator, through a network of holding companies in the Cayman Islands. Navigator's biggest client is the Russian petrochemicals giant Sibur, whose biggest stake holder is Kirill Shamanov, a Russian billionaire and the son of one of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle of oligarchs. He’s also married to Putin’s youngest daughter.

So, Ross is making millions via his investment in a company connected directly to Putin. And this is our Commerce Secretary.

1. Im shocked by this revelation....but

It seems like every single Trump appointment has Russian ties. Maybe he’s thinking this will protect him and cover his ass for the election rigging ?

2. Russia's intelligence service has penetrated the White House.

We may as well say it out loud. Let's not beat around the bush. Russia is inside the White House. The Dems know it, the GOP knows it, and Trumpy knows it. Trumpy is a Russian asset, a puppet. He's being directed by the Kremlin.

So many of us simply fail to understand the truth of the matter. We soft-pedal treason partly because our day-to-day lives don't reflect the changing of the guard. But the guard has indeed changed. We are being led by Russians FOR Russians. The changeover will be slow and nearly unnoticeable. Hell, those brutal tax increases and the weakening of health care and Soc Security will not have an immediate impact. We get a chance to adapt to slow, inevitable impoverishment while the international oligopoly takes a firm grip of everything. The thin thread between now and then is the Rule of Law. The GOP Congress is inept and complicit. Only the Justice Department and Mueller are left. And that means that only Mueller is left because Sessions is a traitor and a Russian hack.

The US Constitution is hanging by a whisker. Right now.

7. That's a great start.

Now add in Breitbart, Limbaugh, Savage, InfoWars etc. and you have the entire Russian propaganda Wurlitzer playing in the U.S. 24/7 on every media type available. All of the Trumptards, and most of the Republican party, are nothing but useful idiots for the Kremlin's propaganda campaign.

Make. America. Great. Again. Oh, the GOP and Trump are "making it great again" alright. They're making the U.S. the greatest asset the Kremlin has ever had. Our country is now 'Russia West', with all the oligarchs in each country just raking in the money. The oligopoly has never had a greater friend than Donald J. Trump, the patron saint of international greed.

10. And 30 years of prep work before that, and plenty of sugar daddies...

...keeping all of the less profitable supporting structures afloat.

5. It's a new and unique problem, that's for sure.

Can't help but think that something's right around the corner to change the whole story. This tension is all too much.
