Smoking guns in the Clinton emails - clear evidence of criminal negligence and corruption

Clinton emails contained confidential, secret or top-secret information, the negligent exposure of which is a criminal act.
The federal criminal investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's failure to secure state secrets was ratcheted up earlier this week, and at the same time, the existence of a parallel criminal investigation of another aspect of her behavior was made known. This is the second publicly revealed expansion of the FBI's investigations in two months.

I have argued for two months that Clinton's legal woes are either grave or worse than grave. That argument has been based on the hard, now public evidence of her failure to safeguard national security secrets and the known manner in which the Department of Justice addresses these failures.

The failure to safeguard state secrets is an area of the law in which the federal government has been aggressive to the point of being merciless. State secrets are the product of members of the intelligence community's risking their lives to obtain information.

Comment: Unfortunately, if the PTB may have already anointed Killary as the next president; if that is the case, nothing the investigations turn up will matter. Ways will be found to stymie, blow off, or bury any risk of prosecution.

International Military Review - Syria, Jan.19, 2016

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and popular forces continued to push the militant groups back from more territories in the Northern parts of the Lattakia province liberating the villages of Ra'as al-Qazal and Ra'as al-Kabir. Also, the militant groups have been pushed to withdrew their forces from the villages of al-Skriyeh,al-Kandisiyeh and Jabal al-Khanadiq.

Tens of al-Nusra members were killed and wounded in the army's missile and rocket attacks on their concentration centers in Hawash al-Ash'ari region and the town of al-Nashabiyeh in Eastern Ghouta. The Syrian government forces are conducting military operations in Darayya in Western Ghouta. Separately, the Syrian warplanes bombed the militant groups' bases and defensive positions in Jobar.

Crown Prince meets tribal leaders secretly to spark instability in Saudi Arabia

Mohammed bin Nayef
A prominent Saudi media activist revealed that Crown Prince and Interior Minister Mohammed bin Nayef has held secret talks with the country's tribal leaders to heighten internal conflicts and prevent empowerment of Mohammed bin Salman.

"After news reports said that the Saudi king has decided to leave the power to his son, the Saudi crown prince has held some meetings with the tribal leaders to destabilize domestic conditions in Saudi Arabia," the activist who called for anonymity for security reasons told FNA on Tuesday.

Noting that the details of these meetings are not known, he said it seems that Mohammed bin Nayef sees himself entitled to the throne, and he, thus, seeks to spark internal problems and insecurity with the help of certain tribes to stir crisis and prevent the deputy crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman from ascending to the throne.

End of Schengen? European Council president: 2 months to get migrant crisis under control or Schengen agreement will collapse

The president of the European Council has warned that Europe has "no more than two months" to get the refugee crisis under control, or else its borderless Schengen zone will collapse.

"We have no more than two months to get things under control," Donald Tusk told the European Parliament on Tuesday, adding that the Schengen area would otherwise fail. The 26-nation Schengen zone allows people to travel freely between participating countries, without passport or ID checks.

Tusk also said the EU would "fail as a political project" if the bloc could not exercise proper control of its external borders.

It comes just days after Austria's chancellor, Werner Faymann, announced that the country had "temporarily cancelled" its adherence to the Schengen agreement.

"If the EU does not manage to secure the external borders, Schengen as a whole is put into question...then each country must control its national borders," Faymann told Oesterreich newpaper, adding that if the bloc's external borders are not secured in the near future, "the whole EU [will be] in question."

Comment: Since the refugee crisis appears to have been created and controlled by the US in order to be able to further control their European counterparts, it's likely that part of the plan all along has been for Europe to be forced to end the Schengen agreement. The US is already being completely fascistic about their own borders, so the next step was to force Europe to do the same.

Islamic State is holding around 3,500 people as slaves in Iraq, according to a United Nations report released on Tuesday. Most of those being detained are women and children from Iraq's Yazidi community.

The report, issued jointly by the UN human rights office and the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq, states that an estimated 3,500 people are "currently being held in slavery" by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

"Those being held are predominantly women and children and come primarily from the Yazidi community, but a number are also from other ethnic and religious minority communities," the report says.

The Russian Air Force in Syria has eliminated 60 Islamic State militants in eastern Deir ez-Zor province, the Defense Ministry reported. Several days ago mass execution of civilians were reported there.

"The Russian Su-34 bombers have struck terrorist strongholds near the village of Bagilya in the Deir ez-Zor province where Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have recently executed 300 civilian from the local population for the sake of intimidation," Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said.

Over the weekend, Islamic State jihadists have reportedly slaughtered up to 300 people in the Deir ez-Zor province, killing "whole families" for alleged cooperation with the Syrian Army.

The airstrikes also destroyed three trucks with ammunition, two SUVs with mounted Zu-23 anti-aircraft cannons, he said. Konashenkov said the Russian Air Force is continuing its operation "to deliver food and essential items to areas blocked by terrorists" in Syria.

Ambassador Shapiro slams Israel for attacks on Palestinians and settlement policy, remarks rejected

US ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro has severely slammed Tel Aviv's authorities for unjustly treating Palestinians, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu applies separate "standards" of justice for Israelis and Palestinians. "Too many attacks on Palestinians lack a vigorous investigation or response by Israeli authorities; too much vigilantism goes unchecked; and at times there seem to be two standards of adherence to the rule of law: one for Israelis and another for Palestinians," Shapiro said at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) conference in Tel Aviv on Monday.

Shapiro also raised "questions about Israel's long-term intentions" in the occupied West Bank, saying the US administration is "concerned and perplexed" by Tel Aviv's settlement policy in the area. "This government and previous Israeli governments have repeatedly expressed support for a negotiated settlement that would involve mutual recognition and separation," he said. "Yet separation will become more and more difficult" if Israel continues its settlement activities.

The prime minister's office rejected Shapiro's unprecedented criticism, calling his remarks "unacceptable and wrong." "Israel enforces the law on Israelis and Palestinians. The onus for the stalemate in the diplomatic process is [on] the Palestinian Authority, which continues to incite and refuses negotiations," it said.


Comment: Yes, Israel enforces the law on Israelis and Palestinians. But take the occupied West Bank for example. There, Israeli settlers largely fall under civilian rule, while Palestinians are subject to Israeli military law. It's a total double standard, and when one looks at the situation through the lens of Palestinians living under armed military occupation, who can blame them for fighting back against their oppressors?


Comment: Israel picks the US president, and likely the US ambassador to Israel as well. Shapiro is playing a role and his recent public candor may be nothing more than the US/Israel 'dog and pony.' Regardless, nothing is going to change any time soon unless the US gains a truth perspective on how thoroughly it has been, and continues to be, manipulated by Israel.

There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people. (Howard Zinn, 1922-2010.)
Britain's aiding and abetting of the brutal, head chopping, summarily executing, flogging regime of Saudi Arabia continues unabated.

In spite of a "Letter before action sent as threat of legal action over arms export licences to Saudi Arabia increases ..." (1) by London law firm Leigh Day, acting on behalf of Campaign Against the Arms Trade: " ... challenging the government's decision to export arms despite increasing evidence that Saudi forces are violating international humanitarian law (IHL) in Yemen ... ", it transpires that UK military advisors are also "working alongside Saudi bomb targeters."

According to the Daily Telegraph:
"British military advisers are in control rooms assisting the Saudi-led coalition staging bombing raids across Yemen that have killed thousands of civilians, the Saudi Foreign Minister and the Ministry of Defence have confirmed." (2)
Briefing the Telegraph and other journalists the Saudi Foreign Minister, Adel al-Jubeir, said that the UK and other countries in the control centre: " ... are aware of the target lists."

Made in America: Extremely powerful 'Captagon' drug turned 'Islamic' terrorists in Syria into 'superhuman soldiers'

As The Post's Liz Sly recently noted, the war in Syria has become a tangled web of conflict dominated by "al-Qaeda veterans, hardened Iraqi insurgents, Arab jihadist ideologues and Western volunteers."

On the surface, those competing actors are fueled by an overlapping mixture of ideologies and political agendas.

Just below it, experts suspect, they're powered by something else: Captagon.

A tiny, highly addictive pill produced in Syria and widely available across the Middle East, its illegal sale funnels hundreds of millions of dollars back into the war-torn country's black-market economy each year, likely giving militias access to new arms, fighters and the ability to keep the conflict boiling, according to the Guardian.

Comment: The Washington Post, which is and always has been effectively a CIA press office, is telling us that the 'Islamic' mercenaries in Syria are behaving like 'superhuman soldiers' thanks to a 'miracle' drug.

Clearly this is something that is very powerful.

We're going to make a leap here and suggest that Western intelligence came up with this variant of 'Captagon' specifically for this purpose, and sent a load of it to Saudi Arabia in 2010 so that it would be ready to dole out to the 'Wahabbists' beginning the following year.
