Principal Kira Gribanovskaya drops some truth bombs on her foolish pupils.
At a school outside Bryansk, about 350 miles southwest of Moscow, the principal sat down last week with a class of students to talk about anti-corruption activist and opposition leader Alexey Navalny.

Why the sudden heart-to-heart? Police had just grabbed Maxim Losyev, one of the school’s students, straight out of the classroom for urging classmates to attend an unsanctioned demonstration on March 26 calling for an investigation into corruption allegations against Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Losyev also created a student group in support of Alexey Navalny, whose Anti-Corruption Foundation published an investigation earlier this month accusing Medvedev of masterminding a vast and illicit private empire.

In an effort to prevent further activism, the school’s principal — reportedly a woman named Kira Petrovna Gribanovskaya, referring to herself in the third person — discouraged the class from supporting Navalny, and even questioned the room’s intelligence and patriotism, when students challenged her assertion that Russia is in the middle of a “civil war.”

One of the students recorded the meeting with Gribanovskaya, and leaked the footage on social media. This weekend, the news site Meduza transcribed the nine-minute encounter. You can read the Russian transcript here, and listen to the Russian audio below.

Principal: Raisa Aleksandrova [the homeroom teacher], may I say something? This is for those who have taken an interest in Navalny’s activities: Okay, he proposes that we smear our top leaders. He says, “No to corruption” and so on. But what specific actions does he propose? Assemble for a protest? Tell [Medvedev] what a jerk he is?

Student 1: He just wants answers. He filmed a video about Medvedev, and he wants answers from the authorities.

Principal: And so what?

Student 1: And the authorities are silent.

Principal: No, hold on. If you film a video about Kira Petrovna, and write about how she’s this way and that way, how she’s not doing her job, and how there are cockroaches running around all over the school, and you come out to protest, demanding answers — do you think I’ll come out to have a conversation with you?

Student 2: No.

Principal: And he [Medvedev] won’t, either! It’s a joke! A political platform is about concrete actions: strengthening the economy, developing various plans. What Navalny is doing is a pure provocation. Do you get it? You still don’t understand this. I’ll tell you this straight: right now, our economic situation is very unstable. It’s an economic pit. And why’s all this happening? You’ve taken social studies and all that. You know that we’re basically living under an economic blockade in this country. But I want to hear what you think. What’s going on right now?

Student 2: A crisis.

Principal: And what’s causing this crisis?

[Unintelligible voices]

Student 2: Sanctions, the European Union, this whole blockade.

Worth it to read the rest.........

Mensch argued that going after Nunes would bring the fight to the GOP and force them to be tied to Trump, who may very well be engaged in treason.

She went on to say that she thinks “we are a lot further down the line to the end of this than most people think” in the Russia investigation. “I sense panic at the White House. I sense an absolute whiff of panic.”

Maher noted that the White House is collectively sweating like whores in churches. He confessed that he has deep concerns of FBI Director James Comey and his inability to control the FBI.

It was like a decomposed corpse washing up on the river bank during a massive flood. It came in the form of a brief, cryptic tweet in the whoosh of running online commentary on FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee: “After my sister visited Paul Manafort's hometown as part of her investigation: attempted home break-in, her phone/comp. Hacked, car trashed 2x.”

You had to be at least a part-time detective on the Trump-Russia beat to get the clues. The name of the tweeter, Andrea Chalupa, rang a bell. I looked her up. The sister she referenced was Alexandra, an operative for the Democratic National Committee who in 2015 had begun digging into the affairs of Donald Trump’s campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort. Since the bigtime D.C. lobbyist for developing world kleptocracies was close to pro-Russia elements in Ukraine, Chalupa began to suspect Moscow would have some sort of connection to the Trump campaign. She didn’t pay much attention at first, because Trump’s campaign was just a clown show. But then he got traction and she looked again. And then came the suspected Russian hacks of the DNC, including her own email account. Even stranger things began to happen, as her sister’s tweeted shorthand reminded everyone on Monday afternoon.

Yes, there had been an “attempted home break-in” last year, in her leafy, virtually crime-free neighborhood of northwest Washington, D.C., as Politico’s Kenneth P. Vogel and David Stern reported in January. Her iPhone was hacked, too, and a death-metal track popular in Russia appeared on her playlist. Her car was broken into and trashed twice, with nothing stolen. The second time, the burglar left a red, traditional Ukrainian blouse draped across the back seat. She reported the incidents to the D.C. police and FBI, which by then had opened a counterintelligence investigation into Russian subversion. No arrests have been made.

More strange things have happened since, to her and some of her friends, that she’s not ready to go public about. But she did say that, like virtually everyone else in official Washington, she was glued to the TV Monday for the House Intelligence Committee hearing on Moscow’s campaign to destroy Hillary Clinton, put Donald Trump in the White House and rattle Americans’ faith in their core institutions. Over five and a half hours, the star witness of the astonishing event, FBI Director James Comey, absolutely obliterated the credibility of the increasingly unhinged president of the United States.

Stone has made headlines in recent weeks because of his connections to the hacker who reportedly broke into the Democratic National Committee’s servers, Guccifer2.0. He was recently temporarily suspended from Twitter after a misogynist meltdown in which he repeatedly called a female critic a “stupid b*tch.”

This is not his first claim that someone is trying to assassinate him. Stone claimed in January that someone had poisoned him with the radioactive chemical polonium 210, which was used to murder Russian journalist and Putin Critic Alexander Litvinenko.

Not only did Monsanto knowingly expose Americans to Glyphosate, a cancer-linked chemical, for which they are already paying, but they did so by purposely suppressing research on the chemical and composing their own research on the safety of their product which was later attributed.

According to court documents which include emails sent internally as well as email correspondences between the company and federal officials, Monsanto’s concerted effort to keep the truth about Glyphosate was more darkly orchestrated than previously believed.

In one email unsealed Tuesday, William F. Heydens, a Monsanto executive, told other company officials that they could ghostwrite research on glyphosate by hiring academics to put their names on papers that were actually written by Monsanto. “We would be keeping the cost down by us doing the writing and they would just edit & sign their names so to speak,” Mr. Heydens wrote, citing a previous instance in which he said the company had done this.

Whenever Palmer Report breaks a story, skeptics like to say "If this were legitimate, wouldn't it be all over the news?" Days ago we reported that Preet Bharara was investigating Fox News at the time Hannity urged Trump to fire him; the major corporate news outlets are just now reporting that same story today. A month ago Palmer Report reported that Dmitry Robyolovlev had been flying in to meet with Trump; MSNBC finally reported the same thing last week. A month ago Palmer Report reported that Betsy DeVos was connected to the Trump Tower Russian email server; CNN finally reported the same thing the other day. I could provide dozens of similar examples.

Now Palmer Report is reporting that Michael Flynn paid Turkish money to the former FBI agent who smeared Hillary Clinton during the election. This story actually required little investigative effort, as Flynn is admitting to the payments in his new government filings, which our article links to. Anyone who reads our article can see for themselves that it 100% verifiable. And yet skeptics, despite being on our side of the political spectrum, are still falling back on "If this were real, everyone would be reporting it." If only those skeptics realized how foolish this makes them look. They'll look even more foolish a week or a month from now, when CNN finally decides to report the same thing. But that's not required for our reporting to vindicated, because any of you can look at Flynn's filings right now.

If you're legitimately skeptical about an article and you want to find out how solid it is, follow its supporting source links to see if they verify the facts being laid out in the story. And if you don't want to do that kind of legwork, then rest assured that lazily shouting generic skepticism in the comments section won't help our cause and won't make you look judicious.

If you truly want to ask skeptical questions of the media, go ask cable news and the corporate news outlets why they're typically days, weeks, or even months behind a nobody like me. They have the resources to dig up most of these stories far quicker than Palmer Report can. Stop skeptically asking me why my (fully source-linked and easily verified) reporting isn't simultaneously being reported by the big news outlets. Start asking them that question
