It’s Sniper Season At The DNC!

While the mainstream media heaped praise on the Biden Administration for securing the release of Paul Whelan in the recent prisoner swap with Russia, George Webb reports there’s something more sinister to the exchange.

Webb said they didn’t bring back a political prisoner in Whelan, but an arms dealer and international espionage fixer. Webb said Whelan, who owns several arms armories and gun dealerships throughout the country, was convicted of espionage by the Russian government for transporting Russian snipers from the country’s elite Spetsnaz, or special Army forces, to the United States.

Dubbed the super-sniper recruiter by Webb, Whelan recruited Russian operatives who could be bought on contract to provide training to snipers in the U.S., like Matthew Yearick and Thomas Crooks. “They (Russian operatives) went to all these Republican events around the United States,” Webb said. “What were they doing? They were taking pictures of all the different dignitaries, all the targets, all the different ways of taking down people.” Webb elaborates further.

Fact Or Fiction?

Back in 2005, Nicolas Cage portrayed an arms dealer in the Hollywood movie Lord of War. He’s being chased by an Interpol agent, played by Ethan Hawke, who eventually catches up with Cage and confronts him about the shamelessness of his work.

Cage answers, “I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss – the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year – sometimes it’s embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can’t be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I’m a necessary evil.”

Here, Mark Dice looks back upon the movie in a video called Fact Or Fiction?
