From Agora Financial (Jim Rickards) The White House has never before acted in support of a candidate like Obama is doing right now. The Clinton-Bush-Obama/Clinton  oligarchy is fighting to the death.

Moments after we went to virtual press on Friday afternoon, President Obama directed U.S. intelligence agencies to investigate whether and how Russia “hacked the election.” He wants a report on his desk before he leaves office on Jan. 20.

Which by itself, we suppose, is fine. “Obama is right to order a full review of Russia hacking claims,” tweeted The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald a short time later. “The evidence should be made as public as possible.”

Heh… As if that’s how the establishment operates. Instead, mere hours after Obama asked for the review, The Washington Post breathlessly informed us “the CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system.”

And what evidence did the Post cite to back up this scandalous assertion? Zilch. “The key claims,” Greenwald wrote, “are based exclusively on the unverified assertions of anonymous officials, who in turn are disseminating their own claims about what the CIA purportedly believes, all based on evidence that remains completely secret.”

Sounds rock-solid to us!

The New York Times had its own story to the same effect, citing still other anonymous officials. It was too much for our own Jim Rickards…
