Flashback Email: Hillary Clinton didn't know name of dead US ambassador Chris Stevens

US ambassador Libya Chris Stevens
The night a U.S. ambassador was killed in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, Hillary Clinton sent a message to three senior State Department officials.

The recepients were Jake Sullivan, Deputy Chief of Staff to then-Secretary of State Clinton, Cheryl Mills, an adviser to Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and Counselor and Chief of Staff to the Secretary, and Victoria Jane Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.

"Cheryl told me the Libyans confirmed his death. Should we announce tonight or wait until morning?" Clinton says in the email, time stamped 11:38 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2012.

The email had as its subject line: "Chris Smith." The murdered ambassador was Chris Stevens.

The Secretary of State didn't even know the name of the U.S. ambassador to Libya - even after terrorists stormed an American compound and killed him.

Sean Smith, an information management officer with the United States Foreign Service, was also killed during the attack in Benghazi. They'll no doubt say she meant him - but she actually got BOTH names of the dead wrong.

Comment: What could we expect of a woman who laughed at Gaddafi's murder and the destruction of Libya?

World chaos diagnosis: Acute Zionist infestation causing misery in America and everywhere else

US Army classroom
"Western societies have been infected by an insidious flesh eating bug, a blood sucking tick that spreads a bigoted and elitist disease that will eventually destroy us all."

"Average Joe," who's an American veteran down on his luck, could have begun his own landscaping or mechanic business when hard times came. Only Uncle Sam was too broken to gift good old Joe $30,000 or so to get things rolling.

It's too bad, because Joe got a bronze star and lost a leg over there in Iraq. If Joe's family only knew how Zionist, pig bankers had cost millions of Americans an alternative future, then maybe we'd all stand a better chance of life and liberty. But, they don't know yet.

For a couple of years now I've laid awake nights trying to figure out how to convey to my countrymen the catastrophic abuse of power leveraged by Israel's Washington-based henchmen. At first, I was like most people, worried friends and enemies alike might call me an "anti-Semite" for the insinuation of Zionist lobby skullduggery.

Then, a murdered and sodomized Libyan leader made fun of by a presidential candidate, and a few tens of thousands of dead kids over there in Syria, Yemen, and in Gaza, and some more in Yemen, all caused me not to give a damn what people label me as. But wait, what about my Jewish friends? What would they think if I jumped feet first into Bibi Netanyahu and his AIPAC vampires?

Comment: It's a sad state of affairs, especially when the man in the White House promised "America First" and instead lets his son-in-law deliver "Israel First".

FBI Agent Peter Strzok changed Hillary email scandal language from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless"

Peter Strzok Mueller
Over the weekend we noted that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's top FBI investigator into 'Russian meddling', agent Peter Strzok, was removed from the probe due to the discovery of anti-Trump text messages exchanged with a colleague (a colleague whom he also happened to be having an extra-marital affair with).

Comment: While it seems clear that Strzok was pro-Hillary and anti-Trump, and was taking steps to both take Trump down and protect Hillary, is this really why he was let go from the Mueller investigation? As astutely pointed out in Robert Mueller's firing of anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok doesn't make sense, "Mueller's entire team hates Trump. What is the real reason for the firing?" As more information continues to be released, it will be interesting to see what the real motive behind Strzok's dismissal was. See also:

Flashback SOTT Focus: John Kerry admits that Russia entered Syrian war to stop ISIS, U.S. used ISIS to pressure Assad

State John Kerry

Back in late September, the New York Times published an interesting piece: Audio Reveals What John Kerry Told Syrians Behind Closed Doors. (PolitRussia's Ruslan Ostashko commented on it here.) But the NYT piece left out THE most damning statements made by Kerry. The full video is below, followed by one of the biggest revelations:

26:09: "I mean, the reason Russia came in is because ISIL was getting stronger. Daesh was threatening the possibility of going to Damascus and so forth. And that's why Russia came in. Because they didn't want a Daesh government. And they supported Assad. And, and, uh, and we we know that this was growing. We were watching. We saw that, that Daesh was growing in strength. And we thought Assad was threatened. Uhh, we thought our, we could probably manage, uh, you know, that Assad might then negotiate. Instead of negotiating, you've got Assad and you've got Putin to support him."

Trump White House weighing Blackwater founder's plans for private spies to counter "Deep State" enemies

Blackwater founder Erik Prince
© Jacquelyn Martin/APBlackwater founder Erik Prince arrives for a closed meeting with members of the House Intelligence Committee, Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
The Trump administration is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer - with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal - to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals. The sources say the plans have been pitched to the White House as a means of countering "deep state" enemies in the intelligence community seeking to undermine Trump's presidency.


Comment: We can already see the flaw in the plan. Who is to say that the founder of Blackwater, a retired CIA officer, Oliver North and Mike Pompeo are not already working for the "deep state"? Even if they aren't, how likely are they to succeed against a system that has been in place for at least half a century?


The creation of such a program raises the possibility that the effort would be used to create an intelligence apparatus to justify the Trump administration's political agenda.

"Pompeo can't trust the CIA bureaucracy, so we need to create this thing that reports just directly to him," said a former senior U.S. intelligence official with firsthand knowledge of the proposals, in describing White House discussions. "It is a direct-action arm, totally off the books," this person said, meaning the intelligence collected would not be shared with the rest of the CIA or the larger intelligence community. "The whole point is this is supposed to report to the president and Pompeo directly."

Comment: While in principle the plan sounds intriguing, the more we read about it, the more it sounds like Erik Prince is just feeding ideas to the White House and Trump donors in order to make some buck$.

Mueller empty handed as Flynn deal disproves election collusion

Michael Flynn
© desconocido
This whole charade with former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn reeks of desperation and makes clear that Mueller's team has an empty hand...

To summarize the plea agreement from the FBI Special Counsel's "Statement of the Offense"
  • On December 29, 2016, Flynn called a senior official of the Presidential Transition Team to discuss whether or not to talk to the Russians about recent U.S. sanctions imposed by Obama.
  • Flynn got the go-ahead from someone (does not name Trump) and called the Russian Ambassador, requesting that Russia not escalate the situation - asking that they only respond to the U.S. sanctions in a reciprocal manner.
  • On or about December 30 - the next day, Russian President Vladimir Putin released a statement indicating that Russia would not take retaliatory measures in response to U.S. sanctions.
  • Flynn lied about this on January 24 in a voluntary interview with the FBI
  • Flynn also lied to the FBI about calls he made to the Russian Ambassador and other countries to try and influence a UN resolution submitted by Egypt regarding Israeli settlements, stating he only asked the countries' positions on the vote
ABC news takes it a step further, reporting from an anonymous source that "Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians, initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria." - though NBC News reports it was Trump's son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner.

War rumblings continue: Bibi says Iran is another Nazi Germany

Benjamin Netanyahu
Dangerous rumblings of war continue in the Mideast, the day after Israeli warplanes and surface-to-surface missiles attacked an Iranian military base near Damascus. Suspicion continues that an alliance among Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince, 32-year-old Mohammed bin Salman, plans to widen the conflict and target Iran.

Netanyahu reinforced this fear with a saber-rattling speech to the Saban Forum in Washington, D.C., in which he repeatedly called Iran another Nazi Germany, with a "ruthless commitment to impose tyranny and terror . . . to murdering Jews." The Israeli prime minister spoke by satellite yesterday from his office in Jerusalem to the Forum's yearly conference on the Middle East. He once again denounced the Iran deal, and endorsed Trump's effort to "fix the great flaws" in the agreement.

Comment: What a scumbag. Netanyahu's schemes are so transparent.

Former Democrat Congresswoman sentenced to five years for ripping off fake children's charity

Former Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown
© Kris Connor/Getty ImagesWASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 25: Representative Corrine Brown(D-FL) speaks during the Stars For Trayvon: A Fundraiser at Shadowroom on April 25, 2012 in Washington, DC.
Former Florida Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown was sentenced to five years in federal prison Monday on number of charges including tax fraud and tax crimes.

A judge sentenced Brown to five years in prison and a 3-year supervised release. Brown will be forced to surrender to authorities sometime after Jan. 8., according to CBS 47.

The jury convicted Brown of stealing money from a fake charity, One Door For Education. The "charity" was supposed to give scholarships to children who could not afford school but instead the Democratic congresswoman used the donations to go on trips and purchase expensive items. She also used the money to host parties.

Comment: 5 years seems like a slap on the wrist considering Brown was facing 18 fraud counts which could have put her behind bars for the rest of her life (maxium 277 years). See Former Florida Democratic Rep Corrine Brown pleads for mercy after being convicted of stealing funds from children's charity, where we read:
Just to let you know how bad Brown really was, more than $800K was deposited into the One Door for Education, the Virginia-based "charitable foundation," but only $1,200 went to charity. Over $200K went to NFL tickets, luxury vacations, plane tickets and lavish events, but she wants mercy and compassion. Give me a break!
...
I don't care about the good she did, that didn't get her in trouble with the law. She's a crook and isn't remotely remorseful for all of her illegal activities. She needs the max so that other politicians understand that if you betray us and have the audacity to even manipulate a charity fund for children, you will be punished.

Five years would be far more lenient than she deserves, but I doubt she will serve even one day behind bars. She knows all too well how to manipulate the system, as she has proven by refusing to admit her guilt or show any remorse. In her mind, she honestly believes she has done no wrong.

Double standards: Clinton aides went unpunished after making false statements to anti-Trump FBI supervisor

Michael Flynn
© REUTERS/Jonathan ErnstFormer U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Flynn arrives at U.S. District Court in Washington, U.S., December 1, 2017.
The FBI agent who was fired from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation team for sending anti-Donald Trump text messages conducted the interviews with two Hillary Clinton aides accused of giving false statements about what they knew of the former secretary of state's private email server.

Neither of the Clinton associates, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, faced legal consequences for their misleading statements, which they made in interviews last year with former FBI section chief Peter Strzok.

But another Strzok interview subject was not so lucky.

Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser, pleaded guilty last week to lying during an interview he gave on Jan. 24 to Strzok and another FBI agent. Circa journalist Sara Carter reported on Monday that Strzok took part in that interview with the retired lieutenant general.

Comment: Oh dear. Could it be that all this chasing after Trump people (such as Flynn) will actually come back to haunt Hillary Clinton via Peter Strzok? We can't wait to see what happens next!

Veteran FBI agent: Trump's attack on the bureau unprecedented

President Donald Trump
© Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesPresident Donald Trump walks before boarding Marine One at the White House on Sept. 29 in Washington.
Over the weekend, President Trump took to Twitter to rant about the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its former director, James Comey. "After years of Comey," the president typed, "with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and MORE), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters - worst in history!" This was merely a continuation of the president's attack on the credibility of the Department of Justice and follows the guilty plea of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn - for lying to the FBI.

To talk about the inner workings of the FBI, and its interactions with presidents and politicians, I spoke by phone with Robert E. Anderson Jr., who served in the bureau for almost 22 years and, by the end of his career, was an executive assistant director in charge of numerous divisions. During the course of our conversation, which has been edited and condensed for clarity, we discussed what's so unique about Trump's behavior, the differences in leadership styles between James Comey and Robert Mueller, and why the latter's case might wrap up sooner than we think.
