Watching MSNBC, they’ve been pushing the DNC Talking Point of “When ALL the Intelligence Agencies…” and “17 Intelligence Agencies said…”, pushing it hard.
It just reeks of the “97% Agree!” line.
All of it based on the logic fault of appeal to authority.
This got me to thinking… Ought we have a new term of art for such a tactic? While the link I provided gives a description of what they are and why they ought to be avoided, many (particularly on the Looney Side Of Left) seem to take this as a “How To Guide” to propaganda. So to highlight that use, perhaps something else is needed?
To that end, I offer “Consensus Trolling” as the act of using “Appeal to The Consensus Of Authority” as the proposed term of art.
So the news, and many on the left in news conferences, et. al. are indulging in Consensus Trolling per the laundry list of TLAs that have said “The Russians Did It!”. Never mind that it is only the politicized top level administrators who are saying this. Never mind that ‘under the covers’ you can never know who did a hack until you catch them; only make Good Guesses. Never mind that the server was so wide open I’d expect a 1/2 dozen agencies and even private parities could get in. Never mind that any of them might be the actual source of the “leak”. Never mind that one of the Russian agencies (the military one) had only gotten in a few weeks earlier and the mail goes back much further. Roll Out The Consensus Trolls! “We, the Politicized Managerial Elite agree, therefor YOU (idiots – implied) shut up and sit down.”
Just rankles.
And they wonder why they lost the election…
Musings from the Chiefio 
A fine term
It has a very short life. IN 2 weeks, other findings will be released which disagree with the consensus trolling and just as fast, these idiots will be telling us how “politicized” the intelligent agencies are. Which is what we have said all along.
At this point the MSM would have to do a lot of digging just to manage to get back into the sewer. Science is getting just as bad a reputation and for the same reason.
Moderates lost trust in science in the late 1970s, Conservative more gradually and only hard core Progressives ~27%? still have much faith in science and that is only ~40% of them.
(Study is bookmarked on other computer)
It looks to me as if the Globalist Elite have managed to blow through all the ‘credit’ build up by the US government, the MSM and science in the last few decades. It may be for the purpose of bringing down the US culture and government.
Here is John McAfee on the subject:
http://www.usapoliticstoday.com/cybersecurity-legend-blows-up-democrats/
He is unimpressed…
It was never really 17 intelligence agencies. It was head of Homeland Scty and his politically appointed counterpart at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, an organization that oversees 16 intelligence agencies. IOW, two political hacks did Obama’s bidding. As is the case with the Climate Change 97%, when you did deeper, you reach the mud room of the Wizard of Oz.
Consensus trolling, circular reasoning, a snake swallowing its own tail, or plain insanity

Efficiency:_
The same logical error that prevented Dr. Carl von Weizsacker from building an atomic bomb for Hitler during World War II, . . .
a sloping baseline from which to calculate “nuclear binding energy“
was inserted in nuclear physics textbooks after WWII to save frightened world leaders from the possibility of worldwide nuclear annihilation after WWII.
John McAfee says the exact same thing that E.M. said a few days ago. Some kid using old stuff available off the internet not Russia.

From the TreeHouse on the Sunday FBI data dump.
Followed a ways down a note about a Chelsea Clinton Email to Podesta.
TWITTER
Chelsea tattling on Justin Cooper for putting spyware on Foundation computers…
Robby Mook writing email 2 Huma Abedin -says “i would only do this…to make Soros happy
Continuation of the comment:
Also, Cooper emails appears 10 times in Podesta emails, one of those times is an email, photo attached of two beautiful asian women, one child, sharing a plate of pizza at an outdoor picnic-looking table. Cooper, one word response was, “Nice”.
The photo, turns out, was encrypted with other layers of data, a gateway to another photo(s) or video. It was determined, the encryption used a special access program and comes from the highest levels of our Intelligence community. (There was also an ongoing search to match these two women with two asian journalists that went missing in the past, an event where Bill Clinton sent a plane, thought to be Epstein’s, to pick up two women, “human rights workers” in Asia rescuing children. The reddit page-link was scrubbed & shutdown)
Two people? Probably….
WIKI says Justin Cooper was a senior adviser to Bill Clinton. He first worked within the Office of Science and Technology.Clinton asked Cooper, along with Doug Band, to move to New York to play a critical role in his post-presidential activities including traveling with him and assisting President Clinton in editing his books. He “…has a close working relationship with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her senior most advisers since their White House days, including Cheryl D. Mills and Huma Abedin, is often responsible for briefing and advising the President on a range of issues including finances, business matters, public relations, politics, the Clinton Family Foundation and the Clinton Foundation’s initiatives as well as the Clinton Global Initiative. Cooper was one of the key persons that help administer Hillary’s private email server. Hillary’s private server as been part of an on going Federal investigation. The internet domain, clintonemail.com, was registered to Cooper, not the Clintons, while she was secretary of state. The domain was registered by Cooper before Hillary became secretary of state on January 21, 2009… Cooper had no US security clearance or expertise in computer security.”

That sounds like the same stonewalling Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley got in the Congressional investigation on the Benghazi investigation.
What a complete mess. No wonder they want keep saying “Oh look A RUSSIAN Squirrel!”

Gail said: “It may be for the purpose of bringing down the US culture and government.”
Just so.
The simple fact is that as “top dog” in the world post W.W.II, we were a target for everyone else. Then communism in the FSU went under, so also went underground.
It did not go away.
Between Communists, Islamists, and others, we are the only common target.
On all levels and in all ways, the attack is on.
(I say this as someone who has done ‘security work’ for about 30 years)
“Insurgency” is the aftermath of every successful war, and we have a lot of them in our history, so…
Trump is really inheriting a major mess but the weapons put in place by the enemy can now be used against them.
First Trump has already cut off the MSM at the knees and he can certainly make it a lot worse by getting HIS NEWS out the gate first leaving the MSM trying to get their shoes on to chase him. This is a major, major weapon and he knows it.
So while I do expect more temper tantrums from the Progressives, the Agents Provacateurs, the MSM and the rest of the idiots who want to dismantle the USA. I also expect Trump to be first explain the situation taking the wind out of the ‘Fake News’
As far as the Progressives salted through the intelligence agencies, Trump can always start with the Top Secret report just leaked. EVERYONE in that command chain is subject to dismissal when you think about it. It gets even juicier if you consider we are still ‘at war’ and Obama Signs 2013 NDAA: May Still Arrest, Detain Citizens Without Charge Obama “…signed into law the renewal of his power to apprehend and detain Americans indefinitely on no more authority than his own suspicion of their complicity with enemies in the “War on Terror.”
Trump may have quite a bit of info on who exactly the snakes are.
Admiral Michael Rogers, the Director of the NSA (National Security Agency) and U.S. Cyber Command, met with President-Elect Trump, somewhat quietly in mid-November. “It has been reported that Admiral Rogers did not inform his “superiors” of the meeting with President-Elect Trump. President Obama is out of the country. Def Sec Ash Carter and DNI Chair James Clapper, both loyalists to President Obama, do not necessarily align with Admiral Rogers…” LINK And DHS Whistleblower Philip Haney is an expert on islamic terrorists in the USA, working for DHS until the progressives shut him down. link and link
Trump has throughout his campaign worked very hard to win over the local law enforcement and with the targets on their backs I do not expect them to be very loyal to the Progressives. Especially with an honest Justice Department backing them up instead of helping paint that target.
Trump has the power to selectively withhold funding and Obummer gave him that precedence too.
White House won’t keep funds from North Carolina before court battle over transgender rights is resolved
Arizona Joins Texas in Lawsuit to Stop Federal Overreach
Obama did the same via exc order to states wanting to set up schools as English Only to save the massive amount of funding needed to teach in multiple languages. He declared not providing multiple languages ‘Unconstitutional.
Note in all these cases there were no actual federal laws with funding attached. Just Obama’s whim.
Once you get Congress involved it really gets nasty.
GOP Rep. Culberson: No Justice Dept. Funding Without Crackdown on Sanctuary Cities
Food stamps via the USDA, education and many other federal Gimee programs could also have funding withheld from states refusing to cooperate.
Four Times the Government Held Highway Funding Hostage
If Congress were to lose the Highway Trust Fund, it would also lose a powerful tool to keep states in line.
So going in Trump has lots of options and the chutzpah to use them.
I like the idea of referring to the argument from authority error as “the Priest told me” argument. The main appeal is that the “progressives” are not mere irreligious, but are in fact anti-religious. Referring to their arguments from authority as being equal to “the Priest told me” is just a nice way of poking a finger in their eye.
I just wonder that CIA, FBI and NSA could be taken on the bed in this.
Are they so incompetent that they can only spy on those who don’t try to make harm.
And then you can say that it was Hillarys own fault if it was hacked.
Keyword ‘independent’ missing. Without that, the consensus is fake. and Benghazi was a movie. With so many echo chambers and a big hall of mirrors we can see through the fog of war.
Nothing new to see here. Everybody loved disco then and now none will admit they did. Beware consensus; consensus changes.
And they wonder why they lost the elections…
A Reddit post comment points out how Guccifer used Russian proxy servers to go undetected. Therefore the FBI is well aware that independent crackers use this method of hiding their tracks.

First you need to know:
John McCain funded by Soros since 2001
2014 John McCain Hangs Out with Old Pal George Soros in Switzerland
UK Guardian: Dec 2013 John McCain tells Ukraine protesters: ‘We are here to support your just Cause
Cain and GOPe Never Trumpers hired the ‘MI6 former investigator’ and then the DNC got into the act. McCain, living up to his name of Songbird, was picked to turn the ‘creative writing exercise’ over to the FBI.
McCain Admits He Gave Dossier Containing “Sensitive Information” On Trump To The FBI
Sundance opines the chain of custody of the ‘Golden Shower’ fiction was
The question becomes WHY???
And here is the answer to all the “RUSSIANS ARE COMING” Idiocy.
Senate bill: S.2943-NDAA Act for 2017 (now law) sponsored by McCain prohibits Trump from allying with Russia vs ISIS until Ukraine joins NATO.
In other words it sets up WWIII in such a way that Trump’s hands are tied. However McCain/Soros still have to kill off Trump’s popularity and paint Russia as evil to get the war they are so set on.

So the FBI despite blatant destruction of evidence can not find ‘intent of wrong doing’ Something NOT necessary to indict and jail BTW. Yet with ZERO real evidence the same group of idiots ACCUSES a foreign power of a crime for which Congress passes various sanctions and tries to start a war???
Does anyone else see a major problem here? Esp since we caught China red handed but did nothing?
Gail, along with the US Troop movements in Eastern Europe and the Bill you found preventing the US helping Russia with ISIS, it does look as if Obama & co are intent on pushing the world in to a war with Russia.
Surely this can’t be just to get at Trump’s Presidency can it?
On top of that the FBI sought FISA court warrant to spy on Gen. Flynn, Michael Cohen, Carter Page and Paul Manafort.

Interesting that the heads of US government investigations want to investigate American patriots while working to clear known internationalist traitor/spies.
The CIA and Department of State are known hot beds of Anti American Internationalists. Small wonder they fear the ascendance of America first patriots. These people were so sure that the Clinton syndicate would win that they were willing to do anything asked of them. Even now there are many that still believe the decision will be reversed.
Prophecies say that “The Great Deceiver” would be replaced by a “Wise Old Man” or “The Beast” depending on your point of view. Trump could fit both of these descriptions. Hillary or her running mate could not fit that description.
It would seem that the head Oligarch that has been working to help the Muslims has been assassinated by some of them.
Now, “the Americans and Russians will ally to end this Muslim Jihad.”
“The 12th Imam will teach Muslims to walk in the path of Jesus.”

@p.g. I assume Nostradamus. Got a link?
@Ilanfar, That would require you reading several books on Nostradamus and then you evaluate all that you have read;
https://pgtruspace.wordpress.com/about/wizards-page/
A place with links to start,
Then there are books on, about, translations, interpretations. etc. mostly garbage in my opinion. This is the most published on theme after the Bible, since Gotenburg invented the printing press.
The most interesting to me is “Conversations with Nostradamus” by Dolores Cannon, that follows a different vein, for it’s insight.
Nostradamus said “500 years from his time, his work would be properly interpreted, Not by and educated man, and it would be of great comfort to people of that time.” it is time…pg
Some of this nonsense might be stopped if Obama’s Nobel-prize winning Secretary of the US Department of Energy, a nuclear physicist named Steven Chu:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Chu
publicly addressed the obvious error in logic in Weizsacker’s definition of “nuclear binding energy,” an error that effectively reversed the natural direction of nuclear evolution for the whole universe:
_ a.) From compacted neutrons =(becoming)=> interstellar hydrogen atoms
_ b.) To interstellar hydrogen =(becoming)=> compacted neutrons =(becoming)=> black holes,
This intellectual absurdity became the consensus scientific model of an expanding universe in which entropy always increases for natural (spontaneous) processes.

The problem with providing a link to a particular Quatrain is their construction. Each is 4 lines, of 2 sentences, not necessarily the same subject. Nostradamus was dodging the Inquisition when he created his books of prophecy. There is some unknown code to placement of the sentences to yield time,place,event. as well as people involved. Some parts are more plain then others and 500 of the total 780 years have passed. The 2 Great stones/rocks/mountains that clashed/crashed in the New City of the western nation, with great loss of life at the start of the 21th century is a very bright light in this tapestry.
