Clinton Foundation accepted millions from sheikh who WMR reported to the FBI for terrorist ties
A leaked email from the vice chairman and CEO of the Clinton Foundation-affiliated Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), Ira Magaziner, to John Podesta and Clinton Foundation executive Amitabh Desai indicates that CHAI attempted to shake down a $6 million donation from Saudi-Ethiopian billionaire Sheikh Mohammed Hussein al-Amoudi.

The email, from November 2011, while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, states that CHAI demanded $6 million in return for Bill Clinton to attend the 2011International Conference on AIDS and STIs in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. The billionaire sheik was also to provide his personal jet for the former president to attend the conference.

At first, al-Amoudi indicated he would only donate money to Clinton based on the former president's annual visits to Ethiopia. The email states:

"Sheik Mohammed approached CHAI in 2006 shortly after we opened an office in Addis Ababa.  He proposed  that he would give $2 million to CHAI every year that you [Bill Clinton] visited Ethiopia. We eventually negotiated an Agreement with his Washington attorney, George Salem, in which he agreed to fund CHAI at a rate of $2 million per year for 10 years.   They rejected any proposals to put a payment schedule in the agreement, but dropped any reference tying the donation to you [Bill Clinton] visiting Ethiopia."

Al-Amoudi then tried to renegotiate the deal by demanding a personal visit by Clinton to the 2011 conference. The "deal" is similar to one with Morocco in 2013, in which Hillary Clinton was to visit Morocco in return for $12 million to the Clinton Foundation from the king of Morocco. Mrs. Clinton did not travel to Morocco but sent her husband and daughter Chelsea in her place. In the case of al-Amoudi, the then-U.S. ambassador to Ethiopia, Donald Booth, pressured al-Amoudi to pay up to the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton receives his payola from Sheikh Mohammed Hussein al-Amoudi.

On December 19, 2008, WMR reported that al-Amoudi attempted to shakedown $100,000 from this editor in 2004 in return for dropping a lawsuit threat. In our 2008 report on questionable donations to the Clinton Foundation, WMR stated, "Another donor is Mohammed Hussein al-Amoudi, a Saudi-Ethiopian billionaire who once threatened a libel lawsuit against this editor unless more than $100,000 was deposited in his foreign bank account. The attempted shakedown by this dubious individual was reported to the FBI." This editor stressed to the FBI that al-Amoudi was linked to the Saudi infrastructure that was involved in financinf the 9/11 attack. Since the release of the 28-classified pages from the joint congressional inquiry on U.S. intelligence failures related to 9/11, our initial report is bolstered. And the links between the Clinton Foundation and al-Amoudi put into question the Clintons' own knowledge of the 9/11 attack before it occurred and the theft of Al Qaeda-related documents from the National Archives by Sandy Berger, Bill Clinton's national security adviser.

WMR replied to al-Amoudi's Jewish-owned law firm in London, Nathanson Nabarro, that as far as the editor was concerned, al-Amoudi could go pound sand up his ass. However, the original publisher of the article that got al-Amoudi's dishdash in a twist, Counterpunch, folded like a cheap two dollar suitcase:
"CLARIFICATION

ALEXANDER COCKBURN, JEFFREY ST CLAIR, BECKY GRANT AND THE INSTITUTE FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF JOURNALISTIC CLARITY, COUNTERPUNCH

We published an article entitled “A Saudiless Arabia” by Wayne Madsen dated October 22, 2002 (the “Article”), on the website of the Institute for the Advancement of Journalistic Clarity, CounterPunch, www.counterpunch.org (the “Website”).

Although it was not our intention, counsel for Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi has advised us the Article suggests, or could be read as suggesting, that Mr Al Amoudi has funded, supported, or is in some way associated with, the terrorist activities of Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda terrorist network.

We do not have any evidence connecting Mr Al Amoudi with terrorism.

As a result of an exchange of communications with Mr Al Amoudi’s lawyers, we have removed the Article from the Website.

We are pleased to clarify the position.

August 17, 2005"

Al-Amoudi was not the only dodgy donor connections of the Clinton Foundation. The following is also from our 2008 article, a time when the malfeasance of the Clinton Foundation was hardly a blip on the radar screen.":

"One of the most astounding Clinton donors is the Alavi Foundation. Alavi is the co-owner of a 36-story building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. On December 17, federal officials charged that Alavi's co-owner, Assa Corporation, is a front for Iran's Bank Melli that funneled revenue from the building to Bank Melli via a front company in the Channel Islands. Hillary Clinton has been a hawk on Iran and once suggested that she would launch a devastating military attack on the country. Apparently, the Clintons are not so hawkish when it comes to taking Iranian money in a "pay-to-play" enterprise . . .

Bill Clinton certainly was a busy man as a globe-trotting panhandler. He managed to get donations from a number of foreign governments, including Saudi Arbia, Norway, Oman, Brunei, Kuwait, Qatar, Australia, Jamaica, Ireland, Taiwan, Italy, and the Canary Islands' Tenerife island government. Other foreign donors include the Netherlands National Postal Lottery, Swiss Reinsurance Company, the Swedish Postal Lottery, China Overseas Real Estate Development, Venezuela's Venevision TV network, Credit Suisse, National Opera of Paris, South Africa's African Rainbow Minerals, Bahrain Petroleum, Beirut Container Terminal Consortium, De Beers Marine Namibia, National Bank of Kuwait, Taiwan Mobile Foundation, Baltic International Bank, Booz Allen Hamilton, BNP Paribas, Jordan Investment Trust, Kenya Commercial Bank, New Zealand Stock Exchange, Newmont Mining Corp. (major gold mining compamy), Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Palestine Telecommunication Company, Portugal Telecom, Reykjavik Energy, Society Tourism Diversions of Macau, Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank Co Ltd., TD Bank Financial Group, De Beers Family of Companies, Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. of Israel, First Philippine Holdings Corporation, International Bank of Commerce of Laredo, Texas, Oppenheimer Funds, Inc., Hutchison Whampoa Limited,PT. Polychem Indonesia, Neptune Orient Lines Ltd. (Singapore), Morgan Stanley Asia Limited, and UBS Wealth Management.

Another major donors is Clinton Foundation trustee Frank Giustra, a Canadian billionaire who made a windfall profit in 2006 after landing a huge uranium contract from Kazakhstan's authoritarian President Nursultan Nazarbayev with Bill Clinton's help.

Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment guru who supports Israeli interests over those of his adopted country, was also a multi-million dollar donor to Clinton's non-profit contrivance.

Other major donors are Saudi construction billionaire Nasser al-Rashid;  Dubai Emir Mohammad Rashid bin Maktoum, the majority owner of Dubai Ports World; Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese Christian billionaire with sizable investments in oil-rich Nigeria; the Zayed ruling family of Abu Dhabi; Jordanian-Canadian Victor Dahdaleh, chief of Dadco Group, who was once accused in a lawsuit of bribing Bahrain officials on behalf of Alcoa and using front companies in the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, and Switzerland; Lebanese Houston-based Issam Fares, a former Lebanese Deputy Prime Minister; Indian mining mogul Lakshmi Mittal, aka "Taj Mittal," who has been accused of running slave labor mines in places like Kazakhstan; Ukrainian Jewish mining oligarch Viktor Pinchuk; former Loral Chairman Bernard Schwartz, who was investigated for the transfer of sensitive missile technology to China; URS Corporation's Richard Blum, the Iraq war profiteer husband of incoming Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA); Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation Foundation; Little Rock billionaire and longtime Clinton financial supporter Jackson Stephens; personal data mining giant Acxiom Inc,; scandal-plagued American International Group (AIG); Denise Rich, the ex-wife of American-Swiss-Israeli billionaire fugitive Marc Rich; Mexican telecommunications baron Carlos Slim Helu; former AES CEO and secretive Arlington-based Fellowship Foundation supporter Dennis Bakke; Barrick Gold, whose international advisers have included Bill Clinton's golfing buddy George H. W. Bush; Israel supporter Edgard Bronfman; Lynn F. de Rothschild; sub prime mortgage perpetrator Merrill Lynch; Brazilian Jewish banking billionaire Joseph Safra of Safra Group; right-wing political funder Richard Mellon Scaife; the American Jewish Committee; the University of Judaism; Iranian expatriate Farhad Azima, a longtime provider of air services to U.S. intelligence agencies; Wall Street collapse perpetrator Goldman Sachs; Banque Privee Edmond De Rothschild; Evelyn de Rothschild; Lazare Kaplan International Inc.; Rahm Emanuel, Lafarge Corporation (where Hillary Clinton once served as a director during a time when the firm was implicated in the shipment of restricted materials to Saddam Hussein); The Chatterjee Group (which is linked to Marvin Bush, brother of George W. Bush); Wesley K. Clark and Associates; Albanian-American Center for Information and Cooperation, and World Vision.

Another donor was Citigroup and its Citi Foundation. Citigroup is one of the recipients of the U.S. government's nearly $1 trillion bailout of Wall Street. No conflict-of-interest there Mr. and Mrs. Clinton?

Another donor is Jordanian-American businessman A. Huda Farouki, Nour USA and Erinys Iraq majordomo who, like al-Amoudi, once threatened a libel lawsuit against this editor.

George Soros' Open Society Institute and the Soros Foundation, which fund "themed" neocon revolutions and destabilizing political chicanery around the world, also kicked into the Clinton Foundation.

The Friends of Saudi Arabia, Saudi billionaire businessman Walid Juffali, the U.S. Islamic World Conference, and Saudi construction mogul Hamza al Kholi are among Clinton's donors.

With a donation from the First Bank of Nigeria and Nigeria's Intercontinental Bank Plc, as well as Nigeria's Obat Oil And Petroleum Limited, the Clintons may be the first successful recipients of Nigerian "419" money. Congratulations Bill and Hillary!"
There is a corollary to the old Middle Eastern adage, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." It is also true that the friend of my enemy [or enemies] is also my enemy. The Clintons have been on WMR's enemy list for 11 years and counting. Hillary Clinton can be assured that, if she is elected, she will have WMR exposing her and her family's and administration's chicanery, fraud, and scandals 24 x 7.

The following is what our late colleague Alan Simpson wrote about the al-Amoudi lawsuit threat in 2004:

Libel, Oil and Terrorists?

The story over the letter, or hoax letter to journalist Wayne Madsen is getting real legs in Washington, with old enemies joining forces to once and for all silence the ultra rich Saudi Businessmen, or as has been suggested have them interned in Guantanamo!

Now I feel the witch hunt against all Islamic Charities is wrong, and the notion that giving help to families in need should be stopped if one of their kin has links to Hamas, or Al Qaeda, or even giving them Martha Stewart cookbooks.

I feel that on the flip side that if the foreign courts assist organizations and individuals carry out acts of terrorism the lawyers, and judges share an equal responsibility as the man who strapped the bomb to his chest and killed innocent civilians in the marketplace.

I am all for dragging foreign judges to Guantanamo Bay as "Enemies of the State" even "Enemies of Humanity" when their decisions fly against justice, and aid terrorists.

The same with Saudi businessmen. If they are innocent they should not be wrongly accused. If they are guilty they should be hunted down with the same passion as if they were Bin Laden. I know that President Bandar Bush believes the Saudis have special exemption, even to laying on special planes to fly them out of harms way.

But the Bush protection plan may not be renewed in November, and certainly not in four years time.

But the fact that they contribute to Islamic Charities should not be held against them, if it is for the benefit of the poor, and unfortunate families around the world. The larger the web of donations the less the detailed scrutiny of the use of the funds is possible.

The same applies to corporations that have plants and branches around the world. You never can tell who is a legitimate business partner and who has links to political organizations. Remember one man's Terrorist is another's Freedom Fighter!

The Republicans hate being reminded but President Reagan was an avid supporter of Central American Terrorists seeking to overthrow a legitimately elected government by the use of guns and bombs. So were the Israelis and by today's definition most of the early leaders should have been arrested and executed. Come to think of it George Washington was a Terrorist, wooden teeth and all.

FBI shining light on Clintons' ties to Kosher Nostra by Wayne Madsen Report

FBI shining light on Clintons' ties to Kosher Nostra by Wayne Madsen Report
In releasing 129 heavily-redacted pages from its file on the William J. Clinton Foundation and the late fugitive businessman Marc Rich, who was believed by many in law enforcement to have been a major asset of Israel's Mossad and Russian-Israeli-Ukrainian organized crime, the FBI has partially-illuminated the shady world of the Clintons' ties to the international underworld. In the remaining few hours of his administration in 
January 2001, Bill Clinton pardoned Rich, who was living in Switzerland under a federal arrest warrant. The pardon came after Marc Rich's estranged wife, Denise Rich, donated more than $1 million to Hillary Clinton's New York U.S. Senate campaign and a half million dollars to the Clinton Library Foundation. 

The cash-for-pardon deal was worked out by Marc Rich's attorney I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and deputy Attorney General Eric Holder. Libby was convicted in 2007 of four counts of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements in the matter of releasing the identity of CIA clandestine officer Valerie Plame Wilson. Holder became Barack Obama's first Attorney General. Holder, unsurprisingly, has been at the forefront of the public condemnation of the FBI's recent transparency in criminal investigations relating to the Clintons.


FBI file on Marc Rich and Bill Clinton submitted to a federal grand jury in 2001

Rich's ties to Russian Jewish gangsters was legendary. Via the accounts of Russian fugitive Mikhail Khodorkovsky's Menatep Bank's Clearstream accounts in Luxembourg, Rich and Khodorkovsky donated cash into the political campaign coffers of a number of pro-Israeli politicians, including French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Khodorkovsky, since leaving Russia after serving a prison term for tax evasion and fraud, has been at the forefront of an international effort to topple Russian President Vladimir Putin from power. There is little doubt that Hillary Clinton's invective against Putin are influenced by her and her husband's longstanding ties to Russian Kosher Nostra figures like Khodorkovsky; Leonid Nevzlin, who is living in exile in Israel; Platon Lebedev, a convicted criminal; and their backers, who include hedge fund mogul George Soros.

Menatep was linked to a number of Russian-Israeli mafiosi figures, including Semyon Mogilevich, once considered to be the most dangerous "Kosher Nostra" crime boss in the world. In January 2007, Yuri Golubev, a Khodorkovsky business partner, died in London under what Russian prosecutors believed were suspicious circumstances. Dead bodies appear to trail the Clinton crime network far from the confines of Arkansas. The FBI also recently released its report on the 1993 death of Bill Clinton's longtime friend, Rose law firm partner of Hillary Clinton, and deputy White House counsel Vince Foster.It should be noted that the 1992 Vince Foster "suicide" was among the very first stories ever investigated by this editor, the other being the 1991 "suicide" of journalist Danny Casolaro.

In addition to Rich, Clinton also pardoned another Kosher Nostra figure, Pincus "Pinky" Green. Green and Rich fled the United States in 1983 after being indicted by then-U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani for tax evasion and illegal trading with Iran.

The FBI file states that U.S. Pardon Attorney testified that "none of the regular procedures were followed" by the Justice Department and White House in the eleventh hour pardons of Rich and Green. The FBI intimates that a dubious deal was worked out between Holder and another one of Rich's attorneys, Jack Quinn, a former White House counsel for Clinton and chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore.

A February 19, 2001 FBI memo to the bureau's Public Corruption Unit cited "William J. Clinton - Former U.S. President," "Marc Rich - Fugitive," and others as being the subjects of the FBI's criminal probe of selling a presidential pardon for a cash infusion to the Clinton Library Foundation and Mrs. Clinton's Senate campaign.


FBI memo on public corruption investigation of Bill Clinton, Marc Rich, and "others." "Others" may have included Hillary Clinton, who received a million dollar donation from Marc Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich; and former deputy Attorney General Eric Holder.
A March 6, 2001, FBI memo confirms that the bureau's investigation of Clinton and Rich was bolstered by an "anonymous complainant" from Switzerland. In addition to the New York FBI Field Office's public corruption squad's "war room," FBI offices in Baltimore and Sacramento and the resident agent office in White Plains, New York, as well as the Legal Attaché offices in London and Bern, were also involved in the investigation of Clinton and Rich.

Clinton email included classified NSA information; FBI investigation looking at links to Colombian drug cartels By Wayne Madsen Report

 Clinton email included classified NSA information; FBI investigation looking at links to Colombian drug cartels By Wayne Madsen Report
The steady drip of "Emailgate" continues to badger the Hillary Clinton campaign. Contained in the partially-released FBI report, dated July 2016, on the bureau's findings concerning Hillary Clinton's private email servers and the classified information contained on them is a reference to the presence of National Security Agency (NSA) classified information. The FBI report states that of 81 classified email chains discovered on Mrs. Clinton's server, 36 were deemed to be Not Releasable to Foreign Governments (NOFORN) and 2 were releasable to five Allied partners (FVEY). The caveat FVEY (Five Eyes) is classified information derived from communications intelligence systems operated by NSA and its four partner agencies in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Many of the documents revealed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden were marked as FVEY.



Here is what Mrs. Clinton said about Snowden in September: "[Snowden] stole very important information that has unfortunately fallen into a lot of the wrong hands . . . So, I don’t think he should be brought home without facing the music."

One could also ask whether Mrs. Clinton's cavalier handling of information at the same classification level of that released by Snowden should also warrant criminal prosecution. It is now being reported that the FBI field office in Miami is investigating the operations of the Clinton Foundation, along with other FBI offices in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, and Little Rock.

The FBI investigation in New York is principally focusing on the links between the Clinton Foundation and  Teneo Capital, a private equity and intelligence firm co-founded by Bill Clinton's former chief assistant at the Clinton Foundation, Doug Band. While collecting a government paycheck from Mrs. Clinton as her chief assistant at the State Department, Huma Abedin, now under FBI scrutiny as a result of the discovery of 650,000 of her emails on the laptop computer of her estranged and disgraced husband, former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, was also being paid by Teneo as an employee.

One of Teneo Intelligence’s many global offices is located in Bogota, Colombia. A secretive Colombian private equity fund, Fondo Acceso, founded in 2010 and which, ironically means "Access Fund," was financed by Mexican mega-billionaire Carlos Slim Helu and Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra, is run out of the Clinton Foundation’s Bogota office. Not much is known about the fund other than that it claims to invest "education entities and agricultural and fishing products commercialization."

Fondo Acceso and the Clinton Foundation are co-located at Calle 93A #14-17, Suite 707, Bogota. The fund benefited financially from the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, for which Mrs. Clinton strongly lobbied as Secretary of State. And, lo and behold -- Teneo Intelligence shares the same office building in Bogota, the Chico Business Park, with Fondo Acceso and the Clinton Foundation!


One big happy family at the Chico Business Park in Bogota: Clinton Foundation, Fondo Acceso, and Teneo Intelligence. The FBI field office in Miami is likely taking a very close look at this operation.

Tracking the money being fed into the Clinton Foundation may include proceeds from the illegal narcotics traffic in Colombia and other nearby countries. Therefore, the involvement of the Miami office in investigating Clinton Foundation funding, including the major donations from Slim and Giustra, makes a world of sense. There is also various reports that the Clinton Foundation diverted millions of dollars in aid money destined for earthquake- and hurricane-ravaged Haiti. The FBI field office would be the natural focal point for a multi-pronged investigation of the Clinton Foundation since it would have to coordinate its activities with FBI Legal Attachés at U.S. embassies in Bogota, Mexico City (as the investigation pertains to Slim), and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

According to Mexican press reports, Slim, the top shareholder in The New York Times, has been linked to narcotics smuggling. "Acceso Fondo" claims it finances fruit tree farms in Colombia. Perhaps it funds other "agricultural" products, as well. The fund's investments in fishing boats is also of particular interest. The one man who knows about Slim and his drug cartel connections, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, is in solitary confinement in a Mexican prison awaiting extradition to the United States. El Chapo is a prime candidate to be offered a special plea deal in return for his knowledge about the Clinton, Slim, and Giustra narcotics smuggling operations in Colombia. However, as seen with the politicization of the U.S. Justice Department by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, that is not about to happen.

The NSA maintains an active counter-narcotics intelligence operation at NSA Texas in San Antonio. The fact that Mrs. Clinton's email chains contained NSA FVEY information should have the NSA and FBI scurrying to find out if America's counter-drug cartel operations were compromised by the Clinton team.

Scoundrel Media Whining About Comey’s October Surprise by Stephen Lendman

Scoundrel Media Whining About Comey’s October Surprise

by Stephen Lendman

Media scoundrels for Hillary want her left untouchable, her scandalous public record suppressed - high crimes too serious to ignore.

No wonder public trust in government is the lowest in 50 years, according to Gallup polling. Less than 30% of Americans believe their interests are served.

Increasing numbers abhor media scoundrel reporting, proliferating misinformation and Big Lies, suppressing hard truths.

Lead Hillary press agents NYT and Washington Post editors blasted Comey’s October surprise.

The Times editorial board called it “inscrutable, election-shaking…about emails that may or may not be new or relevant to the previously concluded investigation…(His) logic makes (no) sense…”

Fact: Relevance won’t be known until an investigation is concluded and results announced.

Fact: Having absolved Hillary in July, despite clear indictable evidence, it’s hard imagining Comey changing tactics now.

Bashing him dominates headlines - from establishment hero to goat overnight, a public official most Americans likely couldn’t identify if asked is now a household name. 

Times editors called his Friday announcement “breathtakingly rash and irresponsible,” adding he “undermine(d) the American people’s trust in the nation’s top law enforcement agencies.”

Throughout the campaign, they ignored Hillary’s disgraceful public record, the most ruthlessly dangerous presidential aspirant in US history - serving as her press agent.

Neocon Washington Post editors asked what to do now, saying Hillarygate (my term, not theirs) isn’t “bigger than Watergate.” It’s hugely bigger with far greater potential consequences.

She “does not belong in prison.” If ordinary people committed her high crimes, they’d be locked up for life.

Trump “debases the process by labeling his opponent ‘crooked’ (harming) American democracy.” The Bill and Hillary crime family long avoided accountability. “American democracy” is pure fantasy. None exists.

WaPo: “Mr. Trump is the least qualified and most dangerous major-party nominee for president in our lifetimes. He is frighteningly cavalier about the use and spread of nuclear weapons; contemptuous of democratic norms and ignorant of the Constitution; totally unmoored from the truth in his public statements.”

All of the above applies to the Bill and Hillary crime family - and a whole lot more. Trump-supporting Breibart.com accurately discussed high crimes Hillary should and could be held accountable for.

They include perjury, obstruction of justice, bribery, pay for play, illegal use of an NGO, racketeering and fraud.

Her war crimes, orchestrated coups, anti-Russia, anti-China, anti-Iran militancy, and support for Israeli slow-motion genocide against millions of Palestinians were omitted - among other offenses.

Her advocacy for recklessly interventionist foreign policy threatens everyone everywhere.

The Clinton email investigation in non-hysterical terms By The Wayne Madsen Report

The Clinton email investigation in non-hysterical terms

By The Wayne Madsen Report
With FBI director James Comey informing 16 Republican and Democratic congressional committee and subcommittee chairmen and ranking members with responsibility for justice and the judiciary, intelligence, homeland security, and governmental affairs, oversight, and reform that he was re-examining the bureau's probe of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's email server and related matters, the Clinton team and her loyalists in the media have all had a case of the vapors. Comey's October 28th letter to Congress must be read without the hysterical hair pulling and teeth gnashing now on full display within the Clinton campaign and the editorial offices of The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Daily Beast.

Comey, in his letter, wrote:

"In previous congressional testimony, l referred to the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had completed its investigation of former Secretary Clinton's personal email server. Due to recent developments, I am writing to supplement my previous testimony.

In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.

Although the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant, and I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work, I believe it is important to update your Committees about our efforts in light of my previous testimony."

Comey's letter to Congress was followed by an open-letter to FBI employees:

"To all:

This morning I sent a letter to Congress in connection with the Secretary Clinton email investigation.  Yesterday, the investigative team briefed me on their recommendation with respect to seeking access to emails that have recently been found in an unrelated case.  Because those emails appear to be pertinent to our investigation, I agreed that we should take appropriate steps to obtain and review them.

Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record.  At the same time, however, given that we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression.  In trying to strike that balance, in a brief letter and in the middle of an election season, there is significant risk of being misunderstood, but I wanted you to hear directly from me about it."

No where in the two letters did Comey say that his re-opened investigation had anything to do with the FBI's recent criminal investigation of former New York Representative Anthony Weiner for allegedly "sexting" pictures of himself to an underage female teen in North Carolina. The information about Wiener's involvement came in the form of anonymous leaks by Democratic political appointees within the Department of Justice, who are loyal to Hillary Clinton. One chief suspect in the leak is Comey's deputy director, Andrew McCabe, the point man for the FBI's investigation of Clinton's email server.

McCabe's wife, Dr. Jill MCabe, received a half million dollars from the political action committee of Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, an ally of Hillary Clinton, for her 2015 Virginia state senate campaign against incumbent Dick Black. Senator Black was at the forefront of the campaign to release the 28 classified pages in the congressional report on the 9/11 attack. McAuliffe is the subject of yet another FBI investigation of the governor's contributions received from Chinese billionaire Wang Wenliang. Foreign contributions to political campaigns are illegal and the Clintons' association with Chinese money is nothing new as the 1996 Clinton campaign attests. Chinese businessman Johnny Chung and Chinese People's Liberation Army Lieutenant Colonel Liu Chaoying donated $300,000 to Bill Clinton's and the Democrats' 1996 re-election campaign. The Democrats returned $360,000 due to "insufficient information" about the money's origins. The Clintons' chief fundraiser in 1996 was none other than McAuliffe.

Comey never indicated what newly-discovered emails prompted his re-opening of the case but from previous statements, it is known that the FBI has been investigating several e-mail chains and more than one e-mail server operated by Hillary Clinton and her associates.

By leaking information that Comey was looking at Weiner's laptop computer and information found on it that belonged to Weiner's estranged wife and Hillary Clinton's number one aide Huma Abedin, the news media and public were, once again, diverted to sordid sexual events surrounding Weiner.



Weiner became Mrs. Clinton's "fall guy" in the same manner that NBC Today Show host Billy Bush became a fall guy for the Donald Trump "grab her pussy" scandal in the leaked out take videotape from the show "Access Hollywood." The Clinton psychological operations team, in doing damage control, wanted Weiner's "dick pics" to be the focus, as much as Trump's lewd comments about "grabbing pussies" became a diversion for public consumption.

Mrs. Clinton and the Democrats immediately called on Comey to reveal everything about the case before the end of October. With eight days left before the election, the Clinton team tipped their hand in calling for "full disclosure." In fact, the Clinton team does not know what new information Comey has in his possession and whether or not it is limited to the investigation of information found on Weiner's laptop computer. FBI sources indicated that the focus on Wiener's laptop  came after a "metadata" search of its hard drive by FBI agents involved in investigating Wiener for violating federal statutes on child pornography.

The fact that Comey decided to inform the congressional intelligence and homeland security committees about his extended investigation is significant. The government oversight and judiciary committees are one thing, but the addition of intelligence and homeland security indicates several possibilities in the ongoing case against Clinton and Abedin.

Abedin said she does not know how her information ended up on her husband's laptop. In 2013, Abedin signed a government affidavit affirming, under criminal liability for false statements,  that she returned all classified information while serving as Clinton's chief aide at the State Department. In potentially finding additional classified information on Weiner's laptop, the FBI may have caught Abedin in two cases of lying: once to FBI agents who interviewed her and another in perjuring herself in the State Department classified material retention affidavit. Prison is often the outcome for those charged with lying to federal agents.

Forgetting the Weiner case for the moment, Comey may have information that Abedin was funneling classified information to Teneo, the Manhattan-based hedge fund and intelligence firm where Abedin worked simultaneously to her government employment with the State Department. It has been reported that since August the FBI has conducted an intensive investigation of the Clinton Foundation from the FBI's field office in southern Manhattan.  The choice of Manhattan, not Arkansas, as the focal point for the investigation of the foundation would suggest strongly that the FBI's investigation involves Teneo, an outfit founded by Bill Clinton's longtime personal aide Doug Band and on whose advisory board Bill Clinton served.

It is very likely that Comey might have more evidence from the bureau's investigation of the Clinton Foundation, which, of course, involves Abedin. The suspended Clinton email investigation could have very well been reignited as a result of new evidence stemming from two New York-based investigations: that involving Teneo and the other focused on Weiner's laptop. The more recent investigation of Weiner may have also provided ancillary evidence in the investigation of the Clinton Foundation and its foreign donors. And it is the foreign connections, including foreign governments, of the Clinton Foundation that would have resulted in Comey informing congressional intelligence and homeland security committees that his investigation of Mrs. Clinton and her cohorts was resuming. If it turned out that Mrs. Clinton was receiving foreign campaign donations and the FBI knew it prior to the November 8th election, Comey would have been at the center of a Watergate-level criminal conspiracy involving obstruction of justice and acting as an accessory to racketeering.

By informing all the relevant congressional committees before the election, Comey took out an insurance policy for himself and the bureau in the event Mrs. Clinton is elected president. The FBI, in opting for disclosure of the investigation of Mrs. Clinton, avoided being pulled into the same sort of political controversy that plagued FBI director L. Patrick Gray in the Watergate scandal. Gray was raked over the coals during the pre-impeachment events surrounding President Richard Nixon for burning Watergate documents in his fireplace. If Clinton is elected president and there is a subsequent move for impeachment over her perjury and obstruction of justice, Comey is above the political fray and he wanted Republicans and Democrats in the key committees to know that. Longtime Clinton adviser and friend Doug Schoen retracted his endorsement of Mrs. Clinton in the wake of Comey's re-investigation. Schoen cited what he believes will be a near-certain "constitutional crisis" if Clinton is elected president.

Like Watergate, which not only involved the White House Plumbers Unit break-in of Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate building but also the break-in of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office and criminal pay-offs of cash to conspirators and political dirty tricks operations, the Clinton scandal is not merely limited to private email servers and destroying hardware and erasing computer files.


From Nixon to Poppy Bush to Hillary: crimes of state.

The Clinton scandals also involve the illegal shipment of U.S.- and foreign-manufactured weapons to jihadist rebels in Libya and Syria against U.S. law. When Clinton and Abedin oversaw the jihadist rebellions in both countries, the U.S. was subject to a United Nations arms embargo against both civil war theaters. The sudden decision on October 5 by the Justice Department to drop all charges against the State Department-licensed Turi Defense Group and its owner, Marc Turi, for violating U.S. law by shipping unregistered weapons to Libyan rebels, some of which were transferred to Syrian rebels by the CIA station in Benghazi, indicates that Attorney General Loretta Lynch wanted the Turi case to disappear before the November 8th election. The federal trial of Turi and his company was due to begin on November 8th. The indictment of Turi was brought in the U.S. Court for the District of Arizona in Phoenix. Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport was the scene of an impromptu and highly-questionable tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Lynch on June 27, 2016. Turi claims that approval for the secret weapons shipments to Libya and onward to Syria were personally approved by Mrs. Clinton and had a green light from the CIA. Any new email or other evidence that Mrs. Clinton authorized illegal weapons shipments to jihadist terrorists would have required Comey to notify the homeland security committees in Congress.


There are multiple FBI investigations of Hillary Clinton, ranging from her private e-mail servers and foreign political contributions to weapons smuggling to terrorists and obstruction of justice.

It is extremely noteworthy that Comey sent his letter to the Senate and HouseAppropriations Subcommittees on Commerce and Justice. The Commerce Department has a role, along with the State Department, in approving the export and re-export of certain items, pursuant to the Export Administration Act of 1979, to countries designated by the U.S. Secretary of State as state sponsors of international terrorism, as well as certain countries, entities and individuals subject to domestic unilateral or UN sanctions. Since Mrs. Clinton, as Secretary of State, violated the law in approving weapons sales to terrorists in Libya and Syria, the Commerce Department may be a partner in the FBI's investigation since Commerce is a more neutral actor. Hence, Comey's letter to the Commerce oversight committees.

It is obvious why the Clinton team, the Obama White House, and the pro-Clinton media wants to divert attention to Weiner's "wiener pics." By taking several deep breaths and examining Comey's letters and other known evidence, the case against Clinton may very well involve major criminal conspiracies, including foreign funding of the Clinton campaign via the Clinton Foundation and Teneo, Clinton's role in illegal weapons smuggling reminiscent of the Iran-Contra scandal, Abedin and Weiner being potential agents for a foreign power or powers, and massive obstruction of justice by Mrs. Clinton and her top State Department and campaign aides.


The 2016 "October Surprise" caught the scandal-plagued Clinton team short.

The Clinton scandal, in many ways, resembles more the Iran-Contra scandal than Watergate. In Watergate, the cover-up by Nixon and his cronies, in many respects, was worse than the original crimes. In Iran-Contra, the arms and drugs smuggling crimes were as bad as the cover-up, including the role of George H. W. Bush in the entire affair. With "E-mailgate," shipping U.S. weapons to terrorists and accepting foreign campaign donations from dodgy regimes in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Qatar are every bit as bad as the obvious ensuing cover-up by Hillary Clinton and her and her husband's cronies. If that is what Comey and the FBI are now looking at, they had every right and a major responsibility to inform Congress and the voting public. And Comey has every right not to tip off the data- and equipment-destroying Hillary Clinton about what he and the bureau may have on her.

 The Killing of Osama bin Laden hoax

By Moeen Raoof

One of the greatest deceptions in recent US history was the biggest hoax of them all, the killing of Osama bin Laden, the head of the Al Qaeda terror group, on the night of May 2, 2011 by U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU).

We are led to believe that the most wanted man in the world was hold-up in a compound in the Pakistani cantonment city of Abbottabad, one of the largest military cantonment areas in the country. Bin Laden's compound was allegedly opposite a major military complex and right under the noses of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the equivalent to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The astounding story really boggles the mind.

As the story goes, SEAL Team Six entered Pakistani airspace during the night of May 2, 2011, at 1 am local time, on board two Sikosky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The aircraft are said to have taken off from the city of Jalalabad, in Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, heading for the city of Abbottabad in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP)), located in a neighbouring sovereign nation and covering a distance of approximately 158 miles.


Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk

Furthermore, the two Black Hawk helos are said to have been in the Abbottabad OBL compound area for approximately 40 minutes, with engines running. One Black Hawk was hovering in the air near the compound, while the second helo hovered over the compound where the SEALs slid down ropes into the compound. Aboard the two helos we are told were 25 SEALs, an interpreter, and a tracking dog.

According to reports about the raid, one of the Black Hawks started to shudder uncontrollably in the thin air of the night heat in Pakistan, forcing the pilot to attempt landing the craft. After the tail and rotor hit a wall in the compound, the helo crashed, nose down in the dirt. Luckily, all personnel, including the two pilots, evacuated into the outer courtyard of the building.

The two helos were carrying a full load of personnel with weapons, ammunition, night vision goggles, and full kit, including bulletproof vests, boots, helmets, and extra magazines. The equipment required a minimized strain on the two helos, resulting in the absence of external fuel tanks with their extra fuel loads. Special operations required that with weather factored in, cargo was calculated down to the ounce. In this case, the total distance the helos could cover was 368 miles. The helos were specifically manufactured by Sikorsky for special operations, with mufflers added to the tail rotor and engine sound minimized. Maximum weight load was 11 personnel, not including the pilots.

Taking into account the distance covered from Jalalabad to Abbottabad, 158 miles, and hovering for 40 minutes, or so, equates to a distance of 231 miles from Abbottabad. Total distance, not including hovering period of 40 minutes, would have been 389 miles, with no mention of refueling stop either in Pakistan or Afghanistan. According to the Sikorsky UH-60's performance statistics, the helo has a combat radius of 368 miles.

One of the greatest mysteries regarding the OBL Raid of May 2, 2011, is that Bin Laden was not even wanted for the 9/11 attacks.  The FBI Most Wanted Fugitive poster does not mention the attacks at all.

The “official” White House press release stated the following regarding the OBL raid and killing:

Nineteen SEALs would enter the compound, and three of them would find bin Laden, one official said, providing the exact numbers for the first time. The second [helicopter] was to hover above the roof to drop SEALs there, then land more SEALs outside, plus an interpreter and the dog, who would track anyone who tried to escape and to alert SEALs to any approaching Pakistani security forces. If troops appeared, the plan was to hunker down in the compound, avoiding armed confrontation with the Pakistanis while officials in Washington negotiated their passage out. The two SEAL teams inside would work toward each other, in a simultaneous attack from above and below, their weapons silenced, guaranteeing surprise, one of the officials said. They would have stormed the building in a matter of minutes, as they'd done time and again in two training models of the compound. The other aircraft did not even attempt hovering, landing its SEALs outside the compound. Now, the raiders were outside, and they'd lost the element of surprise. They had trained for this, and started blowing their way in with explosives, through walls and doors, working their way up the three-level house from the bottom. They had to blow their way through barriers at each stair landing, firing back, as one of the men in the house fired at them. They shot three men as well as one woman, whom US officials have said lunged at the SEALs. Small knots of children were on every level, including the balcony of bin Laden's room. As three of the SEALs reached the top of the steps on the third floor, they saw bin Laden standing at the end of the hall. The Americans recognized him instantly, the officials said. Bin Laden also saw them, dimly outlined in the dark house, and ducked into his room.

The three SEALs assumed he was going for a weapon, and one by one they rushed after him through the door, one official described. Two women were in front of bin Laden — yelling and trying to protect him, two officials said. The first SEAL grabbed the two women and shoved them away, fearing they might be wearing suicide bomb vests, they said. The SEAL behind him opened fire at bin Laden, putting one bullet in his chest, and one in his head. It was over in a matter of seconds. Back at the White House Situation Room, word was relayed that bin Laden had been found, signaled by the code word "Geronimo."  That was not bin Laden's code name, but rather a representation of the letter "G."  Each step of the mission was labelled alphabetically, and "Geronimo" meant that the raiders had reached step "G," the killing or capture of bin Laden, two officials said. As the SEALs began photographing the body for identification, the raiders found an AK-47 rifle and a Russian-made Makarov pistol on a shelf by the door they'd just run through. Bin Laden hadn't touched them. They were among a handful of weapons that were removed to be inventoried. It took approximately 15 minutes to reach bin Laden, one official said. The next 23 or so were spent blowing up the broken chopper, after rounding up nine women and 18 children, to get them out of range of the blast. One of the waiting Chinooks flew in to pick up bin Laden's body, the raiders from the broken aircraft and the weapons, documents and other materials seized at the site.

The helicopters flew back to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, and the body was flown to a waiting U.S. Navy ship for bin Laden's burial at sea, ensuring no shrine would spring up around his grave.

Had a Boeing CH-47 Chinook twin-engine tandem rotor heavy-lift helo entered Pakistani airspace and landed or hovered over the OBL Compound in clear sight of one of the largest military bases in Pakistan, it would have been heard long before it would have been seen. Therefore, the scenario of being detained in the compound with Washington having to negotiate their safe passage would have taken place in real time, yet not one of these scenarios came into play. Those familiar with the Chinook helo would be familiar with its size and sound and would be astounded that this craft could enter a built-up area without being noticed.

Boeing CH-47 Chinook

Here is where the greatest raid story starts to unravel. According to witnesses on the ground, including Pakistani military personnel who saw the whole episode from arrival of the two helos, to the crash of one of them and the departure of the other, no other helos were seen approaching or landing near the OBL compound area. So this begs the question, how did 25 SEALs, one interpreter, one tracking dog, and two pilots from the crashed helo, as well as the body of OBL, fit into one UH-60 Black Hawk helo?

Witnesses in Abbottabad have provided first-hand accounts of the night the White House claimed a major triumph, yet not one person on the ground saw a third helo either in the air or approaching the compound to pick up personnel. This is the greatest hoax of our lifetime.
