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.

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.

Wayne Madsen Report - The Killing of Osama bin Laden hoax By Moeen Raoof

 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.

Is NSA behind Samsung smart phone immolations? By Wayne Madsen Report

Is NSA behind Samsung smart phone immolations? By Wayne Madsen Report
Samsung may not have to look any further than the National Security Agency's malware as the culprit behind its exploding Galaxy Note 7 smart phones, off of which have been recalled after a number of them began smoking and catching on fire, including one on a Southwest Airlines that forced the evacuation of the aircraft. Samsung has recalled all of its Galaxy Note 7 phones and has ceased production of the model. Experts agree that the problem is with the phone's lithium-ion battery. However, as previously reported by WMR, Samsung phones may be particularly vulnerable to a National Security Agency Trojan implant that purposely drive up the radio frequency (RF) energy of phones to cause the phones to become permanently disabled.

WMR previously reported that NSA's Advanced Network Technology (ANT) Division has fielded special units code-named WATERWITCH that boost the radio frequency (RF) output of mobile phones causing them to overheat and, sometimes, emit smoke and flames. Special equipment code-named TYPHON target specific makes and models of mobile phones.

According to sources inside NSA, this editor was burned by his own Samsung cell phone in January 2011 as a result of NSA cell phone targeting. Although NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden had not yet revealed details of WATERWITCH at the time, NSA sources confirmed the overheating of the Samsung phone was due to a classified NSA program designed to sabotage various phones. Samsung phones appear to be particularly vulnerable to WATERWITCH attacks. The WATERWITCH/TYPHON operational suite can target phones up to a mile away. In densely-populated locations like Louisville International Aiport, where a Galaxy Note 7 began emitting smoke on board Southwest Airlines flight 994 while the plane was boarding passengers at the gate, a mile can take in a number of smart phones.


Is NSA's WATERWITCH behind the burning of Galaxy Note 7 smart phones?

The burn caused by this editor's Samsung phone, began as what was similar to a bad sunburn but soon developed into a second-degree burn with blistering on the right neck and shoulder. This skin burn began on the evening of January 6, 2011. On January 8, NSA insiders informed me that the burn was a result of NSA's highly-classified RF boosting program that targeted specific cell phones. The contour of the burn mark was oddly similar to the two equal halves of the Samsung's flip-top phone, with a white stripe in the middle where the hinge was located.

In its zeal to wage offensive cyber-warfare, NSA has ignored the collateral damage that can be caused by its activities in cyberspace. An example of this is the Stuxnet malicious software worm program developed by NSA and its Israeli counterpart, Unit 2800, to infect Iranian programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that operated the centrifuges used for uranium enrichment. PLCs are found in computers that operate supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems found in various industries, including nuclear power plant operations. The Iranian infection was caused by a Stuxnet-infected USB flash drive being inserted into a Microsoft Windows computer. From Windows, Stuxnet infected Siemens Step 7 software that operated the centrifuge PLCs.

However, the Stuxnet malicious software spread far beyond its intended target. Although 58 percent of the computers infected by Stuxnet were in Iran, the damaging code also infected computer systems in Azerbaijan, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, China, Russia, Germany, Hong Kong, Brunei, Kuwait, South Korea, Canada, Malaysia, the United States, Turkey, and Japan. Stuxnet spawned off two related and similar programs, Duqu and Flame, the latter of which infected computer systems in Palestine, Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Austria, and Hungary. It was reported that Stuxnet infected the computers that operate the integrated British railway system. Since the deployment of Stuxnet, British rail collisions at Norwich Station, Plymouth Station, on the Abellio Greater Anglia line, and on the Scarborough to Liverpool Lime Street line, were all blamed on varying degrees of system failures. The accidents resulted in one fatality and 38 injuries.

A possible Stuxnet infection of the PLCs that controlled the emergency shutdown operations of the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant following the March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake may have resulted in the meltdowns of the Unit 2 and 3 reactor cores.

Samsung phones catching on fire, railway system security being compromised, and nuclear meltdowns may all be the result of an unsupervised NSA cyber-warfare program that has placed dangerous toys in the hands of infantile generals and admirals.

Snopes.com: the latest CIA addition to Internet disinformation By Wayne Madsen Report

 Snopes.com: the latest CIA addition to Internet disinformation
By Wayne Madsen Report
WMR has previously reported on how certain highly-touted websites are nothing more than disseminators of disinformation on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA's presence within the "established" and "accepted" Internet media should come as no surprise. Upon its founding in 1947, the CIA made arrangements to place its agents-of-influence within the newsrooms of America's largest newspapers, as well as all radio and television networks.

The so-called "fact-checking" authentication website Snopes.com is the go-to website for CIA propaganda. On April 19, 2016, WMR reported: "Snopes enjoys a symbiotic relationship with Wikipedia and they often cross-reference their 'anti-conspiracy' drivel. In comments made in Washington, DC two years ago, former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson described Snopes.com and Wikipedia as the two worst reference sites on the Internet. As a telltale sign of their collaboration, the Wikipedia site contains no criticism, such as that leveled by Attkisson and others, against Snopes.com."

We also reported, "Snopes.com is run by a California couple named Barbara and David Mikkelson, who founded the San Fernando Valley Folklore Society . . . The Mikkelsons chose the name Snopes because it is the name of a fictional family featured in William Faulkner's novels that includes a pedophile, a murderer, a bigamist, a corrupt racist politician, and a thief who live in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi. The idea is to label all those targeted by the Mikkelsons as candidates for membership in the Snopes family. As someone who attended the University of Mississippi in Oxford, where Faulkner lived and wrote, and who took more courses on Faulkner than palatable, this editor can point out that Faulkner also, in creating the Snopes family, had in mind the creation of characters resembling bullshit artists like the Mikkelsons."

Snopes.com is on record calling WMR a "disreputable web site." Nothing says "CIA" more than Snopes.com's description of legitimate news reports of CIA director John Brennan being a Wahhabist and Saudi sympathizer as "bogus."

Snopes's most recent dissembling of the truth was to discount reports from Greece that Turkey has been shipping weapons disguised as furniture shipments to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and affiliated terrorist groups in North Africa and Europe.

Snopes claims that because the story of a Greek Coast Guard interception of a weapons shipment south of the island of Crete dates from 2015, there is no validity to the Turkish connection to weapons shipments to ISIL terrorists. The ship transporting the weapons was the Bolivian-flaggedHaddad 1, operated by Delta Sea Maritime of Turkey. The vessel had loaded twelve containers at the Egyptian port of Alexandria, a favorite weapons shipment location for the CIA. The ship, before stopping in Famagusta in the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, loaded another three containers at the Turkish port of Iskenderun, the transit port for the shipment of captured weapons from Muammar Qaddafi's arms warehouses to Syrian jihadist rebels. It was the Iskenderun transport operation that involved the late U.S. envoy to Libya Christopher Stevens; Turkish Consul General in Benghazi Ali Sait Akin; CIA director David Petraeus; and, reportedly, senior advisers to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The CIA had to commission its favorite Internet disinformation site to throw cold water on the Turkish weapons links to ISIL because it threatens to expose the CIA's massive weapons smuggling operations to ISIL terrorists that involved Turi Defense Group of Arizona -- a case just buried by the Department of Justice on orders of the Obama administration and the Hillary Clinton campaign -- and other covert weapons transfers being carried out on the orders of "Al Hadj" John Brennan, veteran of the Islamic ritual pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca.

One of the CIA's smuggling operations entailed the Belgian-based arms manufacturer Fabrique Nationale (FN), which has a CIA-connected subsidiary called FNH-USA. One particular FN rifle, the Fusil Automatique Léger (FAL), was the standard weapon used by the Libyan rebels in 2011 and 2012, including the jihadist group that attacked the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. The FAL, called the "Right Arm of the Free World" during the Cold War, uses only NATO standard rounds. The weapon was never used by the Libyan Army, which relied on Soviet weaponry. Claims by NATO that the rebels were using Libyan weapons captured from Libyan army arsenals and caches were patently false.

Snopes is now questioning Turkey's weapons links to jihadist terrorists in North Africa and Europe. However, photographs do not lie, as seen below. Ammunition and 5,000 shotguns from the Turkish-owned arms dealer Yavex USA were shipped from Istanbul in boxes denoted as plastic office furniture manufactured by the Turkish firm "Senyayla Plastik Sanayi ve Ticaret A/S" of Istanbul. The Turkish government and the CIA had their "plausible deniability" cover story on the intercepted weapons and ammunition ready to go just after the Greek Coast Guard interception: The 492,000 handgun bullets were destined for the Sudanese national police and were to be delivered through the port of Beirut, Lebanon and the 4900 shotguns were "hunting rifles" destined for Lebanese customers. TheHaddad 1 was stopping at the Libyan ports of Misrata and Tobruk, according to the Turkish government, to deliver bags of "cement mix." At the time of the interception, Libya was subject to a United Nations arms embargo.

Yavex's U.S. subsidiary is located at 6361 Corporate Park Circle in Fort Myers, Florida. It is clear that both Yavex USA, Turi Defense Group, and FN-USA, now called FN-America, were involved in a covert CIA weapons smuggling operation in violation of the UN arms embargoes imposed on Libya, and later, on Syria, with the connivance of Hillary Clinton. Not surprisingly, FN-America operates from a post office box in McLean, Virginia, not far from CIA headquarters in Langley.

What may have possessed Hillary Clinton to destroy thousands of State Department emails transmitted, processed, and stored on her personal servers? Perhaps it was her involvement in a major CIA weapons smuggling operation that saw U.S. and NATO weapons being shipped to jihadist terrorists in Libya, Syria, and Europe. As Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton had ultimate authority for approving U.S. weapons transfers abroad pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act.

As far as Snopes.com is concerned, nothing they report should be taken seriously. They are as reliable a news source as The Onion.

The "fact checkers" are correct: Huma Abedin is not associated with the Muslim Brotherhood; she's linked to Al Qaeda By Wayne Madsen Report

 The "fact checkers" are correct: Huma Abedin is not associated with the Muslim Brotherhood; she's linked to Al Qaeda By Wayne Madsen Report
Once again, the conservative media has gotten it wrong. After publishing story after story about Hillary Clinton's closest adviser, Huma Abedin, being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, the "fact checkers" at The Washington Post, Snopes.com and other media outlets got it correct. Abedin has not been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. However, what the Post and others failed to investigate is Abedin and her family's links to an organization far worse than the Brotherhood, Al Qaeda.

When Barack Obama's birth certificate became an issue after he was inaugurated as president in 2009, the media also got it very wrong. Obama's birth in Honolulu in 1961 was never at issue. What was a fact was that his Indonesian stepfather renounced young Obama's American citizenship when he was enrolled in an Indonesian school in 1968. Indonesian law prohibits dual citizenship. Obama carried his Indonesian citizenship after he returned to Hawaii. There was never any document provided by Obama showing that he proactively declared his U.S. citizenship before he turned 21 years old. In fact, Obama was enrolled at Occidental College as a foreign student under a Fulbright Scholarship. All of this may have been a problem for many U.S.-Indonesian children, however, with Obama's mother and grandparents being associated with the Central Intelligence Agency, there was never an immigration or naturalization problem for young Barry Soetoro.

Nor does there seem to be a "problem" for Huma Abedin, born in 1976 to an Indian Muslim father, Syed Zainul Abedin, and a Pakistani Muslim mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From the age of two to the age of eighteen, Abedin lived with her parents in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and was schooled, as any Muslim woman citizen and resident of Saudi Arabia, in the misogynistic tenets of Wahhabist Islam, the most fundamentalist and radical sect of Islam on the planet.

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) practices an intelligence-gathering technique known as "contact chaining." When NSA analysts are interested in a certain person of interest, they establish a "contact chain," which is graphically represented by names on a relational chart, sometimes interposed on a map. The contact chain is developed by a database code-named MAINWAY, which develops chaining data from a number of meta-databases created from collecting phone numbers associated with the person of interest. In addition to calls made to and from the person of interest, the phone calls to and from their associates and their associates' associates are added to the contact chain.

For example, if MAINWAY was queried on an individual's "Al-Qaida affiliates," the ASSOCIATION database would provide a list of all cell phone calls linked to the target, BANYAN would list all landline calls linked to the same target, and the MARINA database would provide e-mail, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Skype, and other web-associated links. In addition, other NSA databases would provide global positioning system (GPS) data on the target and his or her associates gleaned from mobile phone companies and GPS companies like Tom Tom, Mio Technology, and NAVICO.


Example of NSA contact chaining for the email chains of two executives of the Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei.


Example of an NSA contact chaining diagram for phone calls only.
If Huma Abedin's name were entered into NSA's MAINWAY query option, there is no doubt that her contact chain would yield some interesting results. However, using information gleaned from bona fide news organizations and other research sites, WMR was able to develop a contact chaining chart for Abedin that yields some alarming results. For example, Abedin, a former assistant editor for her mother's Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, was only four degrees of separation from Wa'el Hamza Jalaidan, the founder of Al Qaeda.

Ms. Abedin was also four degrees of separation from Sayid Qtub, a professor at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a sister college of Abedin's mother's Dar al-Hekma College for women, also in Jeddah. Qtub was the inspirational teacher of Al Qaeda's Osama Bin Laden and Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri, both of whom attended King Abdulaziz University. The two colleges are steeped in Wahhabist doctrine and have been nest eggs for radical Salafist and Wahhabist terrorist movements around the world.

Those who have attempted to link Abedin with the Muslim Brotherhood could not be further from the truth. The Brotherhood believes that Islamist domination can be achieved through the democratic electoral process, as previously seen in Egypt before a military coup ousted the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government of Mohamed Morsi. In fact, the pro-Saudi Salafist party in Egypt supported the military coup in its ouster of the Brotherhood, longtime enemies of radical Wahhabism and Salafism.


Huma Abedin's "contact chaining" diagram. One produced by NSA would be even more detailed and alarming for someone who might end up inside Hillary Clinton's Oval Office as a fully-cleared, for all security levels and compartments, presidential adviser. Click on image for larger display.

By trying to link Abedin to the Muslim Brotherhood, an entire lifetime of her connections to Saudi Wahhabism, Salafism, and jihadism was overlooked, either by accident or by design.

Syed Qtub and Mohammed Qtub, his brother who succeeded him at King Abdulaziz University, opposed the Muslim Brotherhood's tactic of achieving power through the electoral process. The two brothers who provided inspiration for Al Qaeda believe that power must be achieved through jihad, or holy war, and violence through terrorism is a justifiable means to an end.

It is the Islamic Wahhabist and Salafist schools of thought, both baselines for Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, which grew out of Al Qaeda in Iraq, that are most closely associated with Huma Abedin, whose path also crossed at George Washington University with another Al Qaeda figure, Anwar al-Awlaki, the Denver-born Islamic cleric who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011. Although WMR's contact chain on Abedin was not extended beyond six or seven degrees of separation, Awlaki's network included many Al Qaeda- and Islamic State-inspired terrorists, including the Christmas Day 2009 "underwear bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 2009 Little Rock armed forces recruiting office shooter Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad (Carlos Leon Bledsoe), the 2010 Times Square attempted bomber Faisal Shahzad, Fort Hood mass shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan, British Labor Cabinet member Stephen Timms's stabber Roshonara Choudhry, 2013 Boston Marathon bombing brothers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 2015 San Bernardino Indlan Regional Center mass shootersSyed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, and 2016 Orlando Pulse nightclub mass shooter Omar Mateen.

Although WMR did not extend Huma Abedin's contact chain beyond what could be represented on a single contact chain diagram, if NSA were to conduct a contact chain analysis on Ms. Abedin, it would include all of the aforementioned terrorists. And by extending Huma Abedin's contact chain of known terrorists by just one degree of separation, the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, would be included in the Al Qaeda/Islamic State contact chain, as well.

America has seen ill health denials (Hillary Clinton) in past presidential politics By Wayne Madsen Report

 America has seen ill health denials in past presidential politics

By Wayne Madsen Report
Hillary Clinton's press spokesman Nick Merrill responded in a Twitter message to an NBC News report about the Democratic presidential nominee's ill health by tweeting, "this ain’t news . . . Get a life." A spate of coughing fits by Clinton has resulted in a re-examination of the health issues that have been dogging her ever since a concussion resulting from a fall in December 2012. Although the press has been under steady fire from the Clinton campaign over Mrs. Clinton's repeated coughing seizures, as well as repeated bed rest, such attacks over presidential health issues are not new in American history.

In 1955, when President Dwight Eisenhower suffered a major heart attack, the president briefly considered not running for a second term in 1956. There was an attempt by the Eisenhower administration to keep the seriousness of the heart attack from the press. Neither Eisenhower nor his closest aides wanted to give Vice President Richard Nixon and his supporters reasons to demand Eisenhower step down for health reasons in favor of his scandal-plagued vice president.

First Lady Nancy Reagan and her closest aides fended off questions from the press about President Ronald Reagan's early stages of Alzheimer's disease during his second term. Mrs. Reagan, while not as hands-on in filling in for her husband as was Galt Wilson, was, nevertheless, involved in a number of important presidential decisions.

The most infamous White House attacks on the press over presidential health came during the second term of President Woodrow Wilson. First Lady Edith Galt Wilson claimed that her husband's disappearance from public view in 1919 was due to "nervous exhaustion" from his participation in the Paris Peace Conference in Versailles, outside of Paris. In fact, Wilson had suffered a second stroke -- his first was in 1914 -- that left him permanently paralyzed on his left side. Efforts by most of the press to get to the bottom of Wilson's health issues proved unsuccessful for all of 1919 and early into 1920.

The New York Times, always prepared to carry the White House's political baggage then and now, wrote that the fact that Wilson managed to speak to Republican Senator Albert Fall during a visit to the White House, a call designed to ascertain Wilson's health, "silenced for good the many wild and often unfriendly rumors of Presidential disability." The term "unfriendly rumors" was the "conspiracy theories" pejorative of the day. In fact, Wilson was unable to walk, speak, or write and he tired easily and his attention span was limited. Wilson suffered from frequent headaches and double vision. Wilson's handshake was described at the time as feeling like "a ten-cent pickled mackerel in brown paper."

The First Lady acted in the president's stead in an effort to prevent Vice President Thomas Marshall from assuming the presidency. Marshall was considered too close to Wilson's chief Republican adversary, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Conspiring with chief White House physician Dr. Cary T. Grayson, Mrs. Galt Wilson hid the president's massive stroke from not only the American public and the press but even from the president's chief aide, Joseph Tumulty.

She died at the age of 89 on the morning of December 28, 1961, as she was preparing to attend the formal opening ceremony for the cross-Potomac Woodrow Wilson bridge, spanning the river between Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, DC.

What does Wilson and Galt Wilson have to do with Hillary Clinton? Plenty.

If a President Hillary Clinton's health were to decline, it is a certainty that former President Bill Clinton would emulate Galt and act in his wife's stead as president. Senator Tim Kaine was chosen as Mrs. Clinton's running mate because he, as was Marshall, is a milquetoast politician, would not seek to become acting president of the United States in the event of the incapacitation of the president. Marshall was urged to demand to be sworn in as acting president by Secretary of State Robert Lansing and other Cabinet secretaries but the former governor of Indiana, known as a go-along, get-along humorist who is best remembered for his quip, "What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar," refused.

For Bill Clinton, serving as the de facto president would be an effective third term as president, something barred by the U.S. Constitution.

Substitute Dr. Oladotun Okunola, Mrs. Clinton's traveling neurologist, who is never far from her side, for Wilson's Dr. Grayson, and we have a similar situation of a doctor engaged in a medical cover-up. Photographic evidence showing Okunola constantly at the side of Mrs. Clinton, even helping her to climb stairs and remain steady while speaking, indicate that the Democratic presidential nominee is partially-incapacitated.

Clinton's foreign policy would be fraught with problems By Wayne Madsen Report

Clinton's foreign policy would be fraught with problems

By Wayne Madsen Report
The Clinton campaign is running television ads suggesting that GOP nominee Donald Trump's foreign policy would be a disaster for America. Forgetting the fact that Mrs. Clinton's foreign policy, and by default, that of President Obama, was up for sale to the highest bidder while she was Obama's Secretary of State, there is another major problem facing a Clinton presidency. Mrs. Clinton's close friend and aide Huma Abedin, who has tried to downplay her and her family's ties to radical Wahhabist Sunni Islam, has maintained for some time a Svengali-like influence over Clinton.

While Secretary of State, Mrs. Clinton let it be known throughout the Department of State that there would be no tolerance for any rumors about "H&H," meaning "Hillary and Huma." WMR learned from a number of State Department sources that the close relationship between Clinton and Abedin resulted in the belief in some quarters that Abedin unduly influenced Clinton's desire to rid the Middle East of enemies of Wahhabism, namely, Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Only Assad survived the decision by Clinton to back massive street revolts, with the financial help of George Soros, against these leaders, with Qaddafi, Mubarak, and Saleh falling while Clinton was Secretary of State and Maliki and Mikati falling after Clinton left office.

Abedin has also weighed heavily on Clinton to support the relocation of mainly Muslim refugees from conflicts in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia -- conflicts perpetuated by the Obama-Clinton administration -- to Europe and the United States. Mrs. Clinton favors a 500 percent increase in the admittance of mainly Muslim refugees from Syria, North Africa, Iraq, and South Asia. That equates to some 65,000 to 100,000 individuals. Clinton also supported German Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to permit over a million-and-a-half Muslim migrants entering Germany and other European countries from Turkey and North Africa.

Mrs. Clinton's recent tirade against "right-wing" populist media and causes, which in her conspiratorial view of the world includes Russian President Vladimir Putin and former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader and Brexit victor Nigel Farage spells a certain disaster for her ability to get along with such other populists as British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, potential French president Marine Le Pen. Other current and possible future leaders in Europe and elsewhere who oppose accommodating jihadists, Wahhabists, and Salafists at the expense of Western civilization and Christian culture could also incur the wrath of Mrs. Clinton and Abedin.

As President, Mrs. Clinton will undoubtedly give a cold shoulder to anti-Muslim political leaders, and, with Abedin as her likely White House chief of staff, a Clinton administration could impose visa bans on individuals such as likely Austrian President Norbert Hofer, who opposes burkas and Muslim migrants; Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his fellow FIDESZ party Member of the European Parliament György Schöpflin, who recently recommended placing pigs' heads on the Hungarian border to drive out Muslim border crossers; Slovak President Robert Fico, who vowed to "never bring even a single Muslim" into Slovakia; Czech President Milos Zeman, who said "Islamic culture" should not be allowed in the Czech Republic; Polish MP Krystyna Pawłowic, who proclaimed it her duty to "defend the Cross, not the Crescent"; and 28 French mayors who have decided to defy a French court ruling suspending their bans on Muslim "burkinis" as potential threats too public safety.

While Clinton and her lap dog media paint people like Trump, Farage, and others as "fringe," the popular defiance of people of good faith against Wahhabist Sunni extremism, such as represented by the Abedin family and the sharia-loving and Muslim Brotherhood-connected immigration loophole lawyer Khizr Khan, is the mainstream. Mrs. Clinton; Huma and her professor mother who teaches at a Wahhabist-financed university in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; the Khans; and the Saudi-funded Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are on the radical fringes. CAIR considers any criticism of Muslim radicalism to be "Islamophobic."


With "H&H" in the Oval Office, the U.S. would see an immediate freeze in relations with four EU nations: Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia.

One has to give the Wahhabists some credit in how they moved an agent-of-influence like Huma Abedin so close to the probable next President of the United States. Abedin married ultra-Zionist former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, who is Jewish. Weiner repeatedly took his sex to electronic levels through smart phone "sexting," acts that cost him his House seat and any chance of being elected mayor of New York. Recently, Weiner, who once used the handle "Carlos Danger," was caught sexting a woman while his five-year old son Jordan was lying in bed next to him. Nothing spells "family values" more than wank-sexting while your young son is next to you in bed. But when it comes to "family values," why would not the Wahhabist wife of a pervert not want to be the chief of staff for the wife of a president, who 18 years before, required the Oval Office carpet to be steam cleaned after his seminal DNA was splattered all over the presidential office and on the blue dress of an intern?

Yes, Trump sounds like a super-wealthy Archie Bunker. But, given the alternative, most Americans can relate to Archie Bunker. They cannot, however, relate to sharia law advocates, Wahhabist fundamentalists, or a potential president who finds a female Muslim apologist for Sunni misogyny and pederasty to be "attractive."

NSA formulating American foreign policy in secret By The Wayne Madsen Report

NSA formulating American foreign policy in secret

By The Wayne Madsen Report

The recent disclosures of classified National Security Agency documents liberated from NSA databases by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal that the signals intelligence agency has been heavily involved in formulating American foreign policy. Information contained in a series of internal NSA newsletters called "SID Today," SID meaning the Signals Intelligence Directorate, describe a foreign policy bureaucracy, rivaling that of the State Department and Pentagon, existing within the intelligence agency. The degree to which NSA now influences U.S. foreign policy represents a sea change in the role of an agency originally charged with eavesdropping on foreign diplomatic and military traffic and protecting U.S. government communications from surveillance.

Many of the detailed foreign policy decisions by NSA are carried out by SINIOS, or SIGINT National Intelligence Officers, assigned particular areas of responsibility. For example, there are SINIOs for Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, East Asia, Strategic Programs and Arms Control, Science and Technology issues, and Global and Multilateral Issues, the latter including the operations of the United Nations. The SINIOs meet at regular and ad hoc SINIO Council meetings that assess and prioritize the most critical foreign policy issues facing the United States. The SINIOs operate under the aegis of the NSA's SID Customer Relationships Directorate. This top secret foreign policy apparatus operates with little oversight from the Congress and little, if any, input from the State Department. The proceedings of the SINIO Council and even its very existence would have never been known to the public or the press had it not been for Snowden's disclosures.

A July 17, 2003, SID Today item dealt with ways to eliminate Liberian President Charles Taylor's government in Liberia. The SINIO for Sub-Saharan Africa prepared a top secret report on Taylor and elimination options, titled "Charles Taylor -- West African Pariah;    Down But Is He Out?" 

In October 2003, the SINIO for Global and Multilateral Issues proposed ways to deal with a recalcitrant Germany and France, which opposed a UN Security Council imprimatur on an Iraq reconstruction donors' conference in Madrid. Other disclosed NSA classified documents described how NSA authorized "surge" surveillance of the UN missions of members of the Security Council, including those of Germany and France. The SINIO Council called such opponents of U.S. policy in Iraq, the "Coalition of the Unwilling" in an August 6, 2003 SID Today. The SINIO Council also aped the Bush administration's "Axis of Evil" terminology to describe Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.

Other SINIO Council meetings held in 2003 dealt with deterring Vladimir Putin's Russia, dealing with "political Islam" in the Middle East and South Asia, and how the United States, Japan, and South Korea could best deal with a "rising China."

On July 22, 2003, the SINIO Council was briefed by an outside entity called the Eurasia Group. The SID Today announcement stated: "Ian Bremmer, head of Eurasia Group, and severa colleagues will be coming to speak at NSA. Eurasia Group is a research and    consulting firm that focuses on global political-risk analysis, as well as country-specific    and industry research for emerging markets. The name is a bit deceiving, as their    country research coverage includes more than 65 countries in Africa, East and Southeast Europe, Former Soviet Union, Latin America, Middle East, and Southeast and East Asia." The focus on the briefing was on oil and natural gas, terrorism, and Iraqi reconstruction. Bremmer is an advocate of the "weaponization of finance," the use of sanctions, trade embargoes, and asset freezes to supplement America's military power. It is easy to see why NSA was enthused about Bremmer's ideas about waging economic warfare since that eventually became a main focus of NSA's and its US Cyber Command's offensive information warfare strategy.

Bremmer was not the only dalliance by NSA, then headed by General Michael Hayden, with war-hungry neoconservatives. A November 2013 seminar at NSA on "China Rising: Implications of Military Modernization" had, as one of its speakers, a representative from Frank Gaffney's extreme neoconservative Center for Security Policy.

NSA's role in formulating U.S. foreign policy can be traced back to 1971, when the agency created its own International Affairs Institute (IAI), a top secret version of the Council on Foreign Relations. The IAI became its own bureaucracy, inviting hundreds of intelligence community and outside speakers to address NSA audiences and publishing a number of foreign policy papers. In August 2003, NSA and the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) conducted a joint classified seminar on the instability of the south Caucasus region at the secure FANX facility near the NSA's Fort Meade headquarters. FANX is an acronym for the "Friendship Annex," a reference to Friendship Airport, the old name for Baltimore-Washington International Airport. The seminar discussed ways to pursue America's interests in the region.


Under Michael Hayden, now a major opponent of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, NSA received foreign policy briefings from the ultra-neocon Center for Security Policy.

A December 2003, NSA three-day foreign policy seminar dealt with ways for the U.S. to deal with "populist and left-of-center leaders in Latin America over the past five years." This seminar undoubtedly dealt with the ill-fated April 2002 coup attempt by the U.S. to overthrow Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The coup had the support of the CIA and NSA.

The initial goal of the IAI was to promote an interest among NSA employees in international events and affairs. NSA's foreign affairs "interest" has now grown to include foreign policy formulation.

Through NSA's Foreign Affairs Directorate (FAD), the agency even decides on major foreign policy initiatives with its FIVE EYES signals intelligence partners in Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand outside of the civilian foreign policy infrastructures of the five nations. These initiatives included the decision in 2003 to jointly target communications in Burma, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia by NSA, the Australian Defense Signals Directorate (DSD), and New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB).

A June 12, 2003, SINIO Council meeting dealt with Turkey. It is clear that NSA had suspicions, along with the Turkish military's General Staff with the Justice and Development Party (AKP) of then-Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It is also highly probable that the recent abortive coup attempt against Erdogan was carried out by U.S.-aligned members of the Turkish General Staff, aided and abetted by certain elements within the U.S. military-intelligence complex, including defense and intelligence contractor companies. WMR has a string reason to believe that these elements hatched the coup plot in February of this year but without a Presidential Finding from Barack Obama or a green light from CIA director John Brennan, both of whom have close ties to fellow travelers of Erdogan's Islamist leanings. The 2003 NSA briefing discussed how the "pro-Islam Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Turkish General Staff (TGS), guardian of Turkey's    secular democracy, view each other with mutual suspicion. The strategic relationship with the U.S. is seriously weakened, so the U.S. is unlikely to champion Turkey's cause in Europe or with the IMF/World Bank as fervently."

The presence of a super-classified U.S. foreign policy apparatus buried deep within the bowels of the NSA is yet another indication that American democracy died a slow death when intelligence bureaucracies like the NSA were given a wide berth to operate. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the last two and current NSA directors are hard core neoconservatives who believe in American global supremacy.
