Libya was brought down by Hillary and Co to get a cut of the Money Hidden away by Gadhafi. The private email server allowed them to work outside of the Laws of the US

EXPOSED! THE REASON WHY HILLARY TOOK DOWN Gadhafi with Obama's Approval!  #followthemoney


Why do you think.. The entire Obama Cabal is fighting to bring down Trump? They are all culpable. They all pocketed money. Everyone was paid off in some form. Its all about the Hundreds and hundred of millions of dollars that was spread around. From the top to the bottom.

If anyone truly believes that Obama and his spy ring had no knowledge of any thing that was going on.. YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON OR A LEFTY IDEOLOGUE WHO KNOWS BUT WANTS YOUR GANG TO SUCCEED SO YOU LOOK THE OTHER WAY!  EITHER WAY THE CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING! My Blog is filled with posts about each crook and the circumstantial evidence about the Thievery! www.john-gaultier.blogspot.com    

Records recently posted online by the FBI indicate that it looked the other way regarding allegations from reliable inside private sources about a scheme in which Sydney Bluemthal the hatchet man for the Clintons along with Comey and Mueller and Strzok and other 7th Floor Justice Department Cabinet members and John Brennan and Clapper and Eric Holder and other associates of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton exploited their connection to her to profit from the turmoil in Libya in 2011. 


#followthemoney.

Look Hillary had a private server and all these crooked individuals were on it. 

Even Hussein Obama had a fake name to communicate on that server.


Obama used an undisclosed pseudonym to communicate with then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her private email server – shocking her top aide Huma Abedin when she learned of it.

The FBI received the documents in June 2016, around the same time it launched an exhaustive, three-year investigation of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia based, in part, on information from private sources connected to Democrats that in the main would prove to be false – the Steele dossier.  
The bureau’s different responses to these documents also came during the same period when FBI Director James B. Comey controversially cleared Clinton, in his first of two exonerations, of criminal wrongdoing in the bureau’s probe of her unauthorized and insecure email setup. 
Sidney Blumenthal: A cut of Gadhafi's billions? Top photo: Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on a C-17 military plane departing Malta for Libya in October 2011.
 
The documents, quietly released as part of the FBI’s case files for the “Midyear Exam,” its code name for the Clinton email investigation, revive a lingering mystery from Clinton’s tenure as the nation’s chief diplomat: Why did Sidney Blumenthal, the former journalist and Bill Clinton White House aide, send her a series of detailed memos and reports about Libya beginning in 2011?  
The documents offer an answer. They allege that Blumenthal sent the emails as a "quid pro quo" to free up classified State Department financial intelligence to help Libya recover as much as $66 billion spirited offshore by slain strongman Moammar Gadhafi.  
Out of that, Blumenthal and associates stood to gain a brokers' cut of perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars. 
The private Libya inquiry leaves important issues unsettled. The documents do not include emails or other original source material to support the allegations within. While claiming to possess evidence that Blumenthal and his associates had contracts and offshore accounts to repatriate the money, the documents say "no concrete evidence" was found suggesting Clinton acted to support the effort. 

 the files might shed light on why Clinton kept her emails, tens of thousands of which have gone missing, out of normal government communication channels. 

They do offer tantalizing connections between the Libya and Trump-Russia affairs. Previous reporting from multiple outlets has established Blumenthal worked on Libya with Cody Shearer, another longtime Clinton operative. Shearer would later join Blumenthal in passing anti-Trump claims similar to those in the Steele dossier on to the State Department and across the federal government. The FBI's acquisition of the Libya files made it freshly aware of Blumenthal's possible past motives - including personal financial gain - as he spurred an investigation meant to help defeat Donald Trump and elect Clinton.
In addition, one FBI agent played an especially pivotal role in the bureau’s response to both sets of allegations: Peter Strzok, who would eventually be fired by the bureau because of his anti-Trump bias. 
The new material certainly adds twists to an already tangled web of intrigue. 
Birth of an Inquiry
The heavily redacted files are part of a 428-page FBI document dump posted on FBI.gov in June, which can be downloaded here (relevant pages: 318-380). The documents are labeled by the FBI as having been received on June 6, 2016 – a month before the first of Comey’s two exonerations of Clinton and roughly seven weeks before the FBI opened its counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign, relying on the Steele dossier. They are watermarked as having been declassified in December 2016, after the presidential election.
Peter Strzok: FBI hot potatoes on his plate were apparently handled differently.
Describing the genesis of the Libya inquiry, FBI notes say its methodology was conceived by private entities with data recovery expertise and that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich referred them to the watchdog group Judicial Watch for financial support. Gingrich, a Republican, did not reply to a request for comment from RealClearInvestigations.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, confirmed that his organization funded the freelance investigative project, including research on the encrypted “dark web,” after the work was already underway -- “and then we found a key Libya-linked document suggesting Mrs. Clinton’s server was hacked by the Russians.”
He said his group passed the probe’s information on to the FBI team led by Strzok, the agent in charge of the Clinton email inquiry.
The FBI files do not indicate how, or if, the allegations in the documents were pursued. The only hint is a few handwritten notes of an FBI interview with someone apparently involved in the private probe, with the names redacted.
Fitton said he does not know why the alleged Libyan asset-repatriation plan had not been publicized earlier. He would not identify the private investigator or elaborate further on the investigation.
The FBI and Justice and State departments declined to comment for this article. Spokesmen for Clinton did not respond to requests for comment. Shearer could not be reached. 
After an earlier version of this article was published, Blumenthal contacted RealClearInvestigations objecting that its contents were "false and defamatory." He said that, contrary to the article's earlier assertion that he did not respond to a reporter's inquiry, he had received no inquiry from the reporter seeking his comment or perspective.
Blumenthal continued: “At no time did I seek to obtain classified information from the State Department. It is completely false that I ever sought to recover any of Gadhafi’s assets. It is completely false that I stood to gain a broker’s cut as a result as falsely stated in the article.”
'We Came, We Saw, He Died'
The turmoil in the oil-rich North African nation of Libya and its troubled aftermath created a fraught period in Obama-era foreign policy, marked by the phrase “leading from behind” to describe the administration’s backstage role in the allied-backed ouster of Gadhafi, and Secretary Clinton’s awkwardly triumphal comment afterward, “We came, we saw, he died.”
During that period, Clinton heard often from Blumenthal – a controversial infighter, dubbed “Sid Vicious” by detractors, whom the Obama administration prevented from joining her at State. He emailed the secretary on a range of foreign policy issues, some of which he had financial interests in. He began regularly emailing Clinton about Libyan affairs at the start of that country’s civil war in 2011, the year before the infamous attack on the American consulate in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
Tyler Drumheller: Called part of a "secret spy ring" to funnel information to Clinton.
Reporting by ProPublica and Gawker in 2015 established that Blumenthal was working with Shearer and former CIA officer Tyler Drumheller, who died in 2015, as part of what the publications called a “secret spy ring” to funnel information to Clinton.
Over the next few years, Blumenthal sent her intelligence reports prepared by Drumheller, a former chief of the CIA’s clandestine service in Europe who left the agency in 2005. Emails between Blumenthal and Drumheller suggest that Shearer may have been in contact with the Libyan authorities.
The group’s interest in Libya came to light after Marcel Lazăr Lehel, the notorious Romanian hacker who goes by the name “Guccifer,” stole Blumenthal’s emails in 2013 and published his correspondence with Clinton online. The hack also revealed that Clinton was conducting sensitive State Department business on a personal email account, though her email practices didn’t become a high-profile controversy until 2015, during the congressional investigation into the Benghazi attack.
A 2015 New York Times article on the hack reported that “[m]uch of the Libya intelligence that Mr. Blumenthal passed on to Mrs. Clinton appears to have come from a group of business associates he was advising as they sought to win contracts from the Libyan transitional government.”
Nevertheless, the Times reported that Clinton passed Blumenthal’s memos on to other State Department officials, though a Clinton aide would obscure the source of the information, saying “they had come from an anonymous ‘contact’ of Mrs. Clinton.”
A Lucrative Opportunity
The documents recently released by the FBI purport to spell out the exact nature of business Blumenthal and company were pursuing:
“Our evidence shows that Mr. Blumenthal was involved with a group of intelligence professionals seeking to repatriate asset[s] which were plundered and then exfiltrated by the [Gadhafi] family and hidden in various offshore localities.”
The documents continue with an apparent reference to the Mossack Fonseca law firm in Panama, which was implicated in the 2016 Panama Papers media exposé on shady offshore finance:
“One of the devices used by [Blumenthal’s] lawyers and advisors was the infamous Panama papers law firm that has recently been referenced in the news. This program is better known as Rogue National Judgment Recovery Litigation, for which we have much experience, sources, and knowledge generally.” 
The findings continue:
“However, in order for Mr. Blumenthal and his associates to be successful with this program, they needed high quality FINCEN [Financial Crimes Enforcement Network] intelligence analysts that formerly worked as liaisons with the CIA; he needed complete access to the Libyan Central Bank to do the financial traces; and most important of all, needed access to the State Department Intelligence Bureau file regarding the Libyan Frozen Assets Fund, which consisted of about $30 billion in frozen and recovered assets.”
It’s estimated that Gadhafi and his family may have squirrelled away some $66 billion in assets around the globe. Recovering that money was likely to be extremely lucrative, the private inquiry stated.
“As an illustration of how profitable this program could be, since the Blumenthal group had a contingency contract with the coalition government [in Libya], if they found just $1 billion in assets and the contingency fee was 10% of the funds recovered (which is extremely conservative and considerably below industry standards), it would mean the group would earn a windfall of $100 million gross. Assuming expenses of 10% of the gross, which would be extremely generous, the net to the group would be nearly $90 million. The only obstacle separating Mr. Blumenthal and the money was the State Department intelligence; and the key to getting it was Mrs. Clinton, his longtime patron.”
The private inquiry asserts that the “constant Libya memos” Blumenthal and his associates were passing on to Clinton were meant as “bait to entice the State Department to release the data” and an “official example of quid pro quo.
The documents released do not include evidence regarding this and other claims, though one person connected to the private inquiry told RCI supporting material was provided to the FBI. The investigation further mentions that another person whose name is redacted began contacting senior intelligence analysts about recovering Libyan assets in January 2012, nine months after the March 2011 American military intervention in Libya. This person, described as having a “rather controversial history within the U.S. intelligence community,” also claimed that he had contacts in the Libyan coalition government and was dealing with “high-level political types in the U.S." in the State Department.
The documents published by the FBI claim Blumenthal and his associates were working on the Libya “scheme” as late as December 2015. The documents assert that they got as far as obtaining a draft agreement for asset recovery with Libya’s coalition government and setting up an “offshore corporate vehicle” – with the help of Mossack Fonseca, the Panama Papers firm. But the findings of the private investigation state that “what we do not know is whether the team was actually operationalized or if the attendant publicity surrounding [Clinton’s] email server” — which ramped up throughout 2015 — “effectively shut down the Blumenthal team’s efforts.”
Still, the private inquiry’s broader assessment is confidently stated: “For these reasons, we assess that the true motivation behind Mr. Blumenthal’s willingness to move mountains of data about Libya to Mrs. Clinton was all about the money and to get access to or actually obtain the State Department intelligence file, notwithstanding the fact it would be highly illegal for the file to be released to a private citizen.”
To date, these claims are unverified. Still, the FBI’s subdued  handling of the matter appears to contrast with its all-hands-on-deck response to another set of unconfirmed memos that it also received in mid-2016 – the Steele dossier – and the fact that Blumenthal and Shearer were deeply involved in the effort to tie Trump to Russia.
The Second ‘Dossier’
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Blumenthal and Shearer were actively preparing opposition research on behalf of Hillary Clinton. Two memos prepared by Shearer claimed, as did the Steele dossier, that Donald Trump had been compromised by the Russians.
Jonathan Winer: State Department official dealt with his "old friend" Sidney Blumenthal.
One of the people they used to pass on these false allegations to the FBI was Jonathan Winer, then a U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement and former special envoy for Libya.
Winer declined to comment for this article, but in a Washington Post op-ed in February of last year, he explained his meeting with his “old friend” Blumenthal. When the two met in September 2016, Winer had already met with Steele and was familiar with the contents of Steele’s dossier on Trump. “What struck me was how some of [Shearer’s] material echoed Steele’s but appeared to involve different sources,” Winer wrote. For instance, both reports contain unproven allegations that Trump was filmed during sexual acts at a hotel in Moscow.
After the Blumenthal meeting, Winer passed Shearer’s material on to Steele. “[Steele] told me it was potentially ‘collateral’ information. I asked him what that meant. He said that it was similar but separate from the information he had gathered from his sources. I agreed to let him keep a copy of the Shearer notes,” Winer recounts. He further states: “I did not mention or share his notes with anyone at the State Department. I did not expect them to be shared with anyone in the U.S. government. But I learned later that Steele did share them — with the FBI, after the FBI asked him to provide everything he had on allegations relating to Trump, his campaign and Russian interference in U.S. elections.”
Cody Shearer: compiled separate Trump dossier.
In a previous RealClearInvestigations report by Lee Smith detailing the contents and genesis of Shearer’s dossier, former CIA agent Robert Baer said that he spoke to Shearer about his work collecting dirt on Trump in “March or April” of 2016, which would roughly coincide with the time that the Democratic National Committee was hiring the Fusion GPS research firm to employ Steele and create the primary dossier. Given Blumenthal and Shearer’s close ties to Clinton and their previous work doing opposition research for the Clintons, there’s a possibility that one or both men could have been aware of the Steele dossier and its findings as the work was ongoing — and that perhaps Shearer’s dossier was not an independent corroboration but part of a larger operation to manufacture credibility for the Steele dossier.
 
A memo released by the Senate Judiciary Committee last year appears to reference Steele’s use of the Blumenthal-Shearer Trump dossier to corroborate his own:
"One memorandum by Mr. Steele that was not published by BuzzFeed is dated October 19, 2016. Mr. Steele’s memorandum states that his company ‘received this report from [REDACTED] US State Department,’ that the report was second in a series, and that the report was information that came from a foreign sub-source who ‘is in touch with [REDACTED], a contact of [REDACTED], a friend of the Clintons, who passed it to [REDACTED].’ It is troubling enough that the Clinton campaign funded Mr. Steele’s work, but that these Clinton associates were contemporaneously feeding Mr. Steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility."
As Smith’s RCI article notes, it is also significant that Steele provided the FBI with only the second of Shearer’s opposition research reports on Trump. The first identified a Democratic funder: Shearer relates that Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch of Fusion GPS had been hired by the DNC to “rack [sic] down Trump compromised story.” 
Did Steele obtain both Shearer reports? Winer is vague in his Washington Post op-ed on the exact nature of the “notes” Blumenthal passed on to him. But if Winer provided both reports to Steele, that suggests that Steele would have been aware of who was funding his efforts, and that he withheld that information from the FBI by not sharing the first report. The FBI’s FISA warrant application to surveil the Trump campaign includes no mention that Steele knew of the dossier's politically motivated funders, the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Instead, citing the Steele dossier, the application states that Simpson “never advised Source No. 1 [Steele] as to the motivation behind the research into candidate’s #1 [Trump’s] ties to Russia.” 
The newly posted material says Blumenthal and Shearer’s efforts to recover Gadhafi’s pilfered funds involved reaching out to many people in Washington familiar with Libyan affairs.
Winer was a State Department envoy to Libya and an expert in international organized crime. As such, he was well-positioned to know that Blumenthal was actively engaged in passing on Libyan intelligence to the State Department and whether he had tried to obtain State Department information in order to profit off recovering Libyan assets. If Winer knew what Blumenthal was working on regarding Libya, then he had to be aware that Blumenthal might have a large financial interest in seeing Hillary Clinton become president. 
Similarly, if the FBI had been made aware in mid-2016 that Blumenthal and Shearer might have had financial motives tied to presidential candidate Clinton, Steele’s decision to pass on information obtained by Shearer later that year should have been a red flag about the reliability of Steele’s information. The FBI cited Steele’s dossier in its first application for a FISA warrant to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page in October — months after the bureau received the Libya documents.
In May of this year, former Rep. Trey Gowdy, who chaired the House Oversight and Benghazi panels, told Fox News that he had seen Blumenthal’s name on an FBI spreadsheet that attempted to list independent corroboration for specific factual assertions in the Steele dossier. Apparently referring to Blumenthal’s reputation for pro-Clinton political machinations, the Republican said the operative’s past should have concerned the FBI. “When the name Sidney Blumenthal is included as part of your corroboration, and when you’re the world’s leading law-enforcement agency, you have a problem,” Gowdy said.

2011 Obama bought Russian helicopters for Afghan military with US TAX PAYER DOLLARS! Follow the Obama Kick Backs. Follow the Money

US Defense Department under Obama bought  Russian helicopters for Afghan military with US TAX PAYER DOLLARS!

 

WHO IS Rosoboronexport.. http://roe.ru/eng/    they are the dealers who arranged the Obama Deal. They refuse anyone to look at their books in 2011. Follow the money people.

 I FOUND THIS FROM 2013. Follow the money! Every Deal that Obama and his gang of thugs made had a "Kick Back" Component. 30% going to his Coffers. That is why the Cabal is determined to get Trump and his investigators out before all this is exposed!

I Remember when Obama said this ... ?




The Pentagon bypassed US helicopter makers, choosing to spend more than $1 billion on dozens of Russian Mi-17 helicopters. A study shows the Chinook built by Boeing is a better fit.


From December 7, 2013

The deal looked sketchy from the start.
To outfit Afghanistan's security forces with new helicopters, the Pentagon bypassed U.S. companies and turned instead to Moscow for dozens of Russian Mi-17 rotorcraft at a cost of more than $1 billion.
Senior Pentagon officials assured skeptical members of Congress that the Defense Department had made the right call. They repeatedly cited a top-secret 2010 study they said named the Mi-17 as the superior choice.

Turns out the study told a very different story, according to unclassified excerpts obtained by The Associated Press.
An American-made helicopter, the U.S. Army's workhorse Chinook built by Boeing in Pennsylvania, was found to be "the most cost-effective single platform type fleet for the Afghan Air Force over a twenty year" period, according to the excerpts.

 

Lawmakers who closely had followed the copter deal were stunned.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's No. 2 GOP leader and one of the most vocal critics of the contract, said the Department of Defense "repeatedly and disingenuously" used the study to prove the necessity of buying Mi-17s.
More than two years since the Mi-17 contract was signed, a veil of secrecy still obscures the pact despite its high-dollar value, the potential for fraud and waste, and accusations the Pentagon muffled important information. The unprecedented arms deal also serves as a reminder to a war-weary American public that Afghanistan will remain heavily dependent on U.S. financial support even after its combat troops depart.

"So why are we buying Russian helicopters when there are American manufacturers that can meet that very same requirement?" Cornyn asked. "Makes no sense whatsoever and the Department of Defense has steadfastly refused to cooperate with reasonable inquiries into why in the world they continue to persist along this pathway."
As recently as September, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter cited the study in a letter to House members defending the decision. Carter left his job this past week.

Last year, Frank Kendall, the Pentagon's top acquisition official, and policy chief James Miller pointed to the study in a written response to questions posed by Cornyn.

Just a few weeks after the secret study was completed, Army Secretary John McHugh wrote in a 2011 memo "that the Mi-17 stands apart" when compared with other helicopters.
The "Pentagon" denies it misled Congress.
Who in the Pentagon.. find the people and check their tax returns and you will find payments.
A senior department official said the study was focused on long-term requirements and not the immediate needs of the Afghan military, which were best met by the Mi-17. Also, U.S. commanders in Afghanistan wanted the Mi-17 because it is durable, easy-to-operate and the Afghan forces had experience flying it, according to the official, who was not authorized to be identified as the source of the information.
The war in Afghanistan, now in its 13th year, has been full of paradoxes.
What was once President Barack Obama's "war of necessity" has become a race for the exits. Hopes of eradicating the Taliban and transforming Afghanistan into a viable state have been dialed down. U.S. combat forces are scheduled to depart by the end of next year, leaving the Afghans responsible for ensuring the country doesn't collapse into the pre-Sept. 11 chaos that made it a terrorist haven.
There's no dispute that heavy-duty helicopters capable of quickly moving Afghan troops and supplies are essential to accomplishing that mission. But the decision to acquire them from Russia has achieved the rare feat in a deeply divided Congress of finding common ground among Republicans and Democrats.

Why, lawmakers from both political parties have demanded, is the U.S. purchasing military gear from Russia?

After all, Russia has sold advanced weapons to repressive government in Syria and Iran, sheltered NSA leaker Edward Snowden, and been criticized by the State Department for adopting laws that restrict human rights.

On top of all that, corruption is rampant in Russia's defense industry, heightening concerns that crooked government officials and contractors are lining their pockets with American money.

"We're not dealing with a corrupt system. Corruption is the system," said Stephen Blank, a Russia expert at the American Foreign Policy Council, a Washington think tank. "This is not a world we're familiar with."

Overall, 63 Mi-17s are being acquired through the 2011 contract. It was awarded without competition to Russia's arms export agency, Rosoboronexport, even though the Pentagon condemned the agency after Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces used Russian weapons to "murder Syrian civilians."

Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, a high-ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said the arrangement has put American taxpayers in the intolerable position of subsidizing a company complicit in the atrocities occurring in Syria.

"The lack of straightforward information from the Pentagon on the ability of American-made helicopters to meet the mission in Afghanistan is but another factor severely undermining their credibility and justification for pursuing this sorely misguided procurement," DeLauro said.
No Pentagon official was made available to speak on the record for this story.

The AP also requested in late October that the department release unclassified portions of the 2010 study and other records supporting the decision to buy Mi-17s instead of Chinooks or other helicopters. The department provided only a one-page summary of a report that provided no new information.

Afghanistan's mountainous terrain demands a helicopter capable of operating in the most rugged conditions at altitudes well in excess of 15,000 feet. The Mi-17 met all these requirements, Carter and other U.S. military officials told lawmakers in correspondence and in testimony.
But so could the heavyweight Chinook. The Boeing helicopter is larger than its Russian counterpart, carries up to a 26,000 pound payload, which is twice as much as the Mi-17, and can operate at nearly the same high altitude.

The armed Mi-17s being purchased for Afghanistan from Rosoboronexport will replace older and less capable Mi-17s that the U.S. and other countries had purchased from brokers and contractors through the open market and then donated or loaned to the Afghans.
The fact that the Afghan forces had years of experience flying the Mi-17 figured prominently in the Pentagon's decision.
Carter and other U.S. defense official contended that adding the Boeing helicopter to the mix would unnecessarily burden the Afghans with having to learn how to operate and maintain an unfamiliar helicopter.
The 2010 study "specifically analyzed the opportunity for DOD to provide a U.S. alternative to the Mi-17 for Afghanistan," according to the excerpts.
It outlined a transitional approach in which Chinooks being retired from the U.S. military's fleet would be available in late 2013 to be refurbished and then replace older Mi-17s in the Afghan fleet, according to the excerpts. A combination of Mi-17s and renovated Chinooks, known in the Army's nomenclature as the CH-47D, could work as well.
The 2010 study advised proceeding cautiously. Shifting too quickly away from the Mi-17s already in use could undermine progress made in training the Afghan air force, the excerpts said. But it recommended a plan for converting the Afghan forces from a "pure" Mi-17 fleet to one that uses US helicopters.
The Chinook option never materialized.
An extensive analysis of both helicopters concluded that a refurbished Chinook would cost about 40 percent more overall to buy and maintain than the Mi-17, said the senior defense official.
That's hard to fathom.
Boeing executives informed congressional staff during a meeting held in late September that the cost of a refurbished CH-47D would be in the $12 million to $14 million range, according to a person knowledgeable about the discussion but not authorized to be identified as the source of the information.
That would make an overhauled Chinook $4 million to $6 million less than what the department is currently paying for Mi-17s, according to figures compiled by the Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell, the Pentagon office that fills urgent requests for equipment from battlefield commanders.
Boeing spokesman Andrew Lee referred questions about Chinook costs to the Defense Department
The figures also show the average cost of each new Mi-17 has increased with each successive order — from $16.4 million to $18.2 million. The Pentagon has assured Congress that the prices were "fair and reasonable," and in line with what other countries have paid.
But an internal Defense Contract Audit Agency document shows that the department could not conduct a comprehensive cost comparison because Rosoboronexport wouldn't allow U.S. auditors to look at its books.
Army negotiators omitted a provision standard in government contracts that permits pricing reviews. In examining the contract, the audit agency noted that Rosoboronexport "is arguably an agent or instrumentality of a foreign government, and is therefore exempt from most cost accounting standards."
Rosoboronexport's director general, Anatoly Isaykin, said in statement late last month that his agency was "completely transparent" in negotiating Mi-17 prices with the U.S. He provided no details on costs or any examples of transparency.
"In our opinion this contract is most acceptable to the U.S. Department of Defense in terms of quality/price ratio," Isaykin said.
The roots of Rosoboronexport's involvement reach back to 2010 when the U.S. and Russia were engaged in high-stakes diplomacy aimed at fulfilling Obama's goal to reset relations between the two former Cold War foes.
Dmitry Medvedev was Russia's president, not Vladimir Putin, and the talks resulted in agreements to expand cooperation on global security issues and strengthen economic ties.
Among the breakthroughs: The U.S. terminated penalties against Rosoboronexport that the Bush White House had imposed in 2006 after the State Department determined the export agency had provided Iran and Syria sensitive military technology. The sanctions had barred the U.S. government from entering into any contracts with Rosoboronexport. Russia agreed to support a U.N. resolution to punish Iran over its nuclear program.
Headquartered in Moscow, Rosoboronexport is the only Russian agency authorized to export and import military hardware. The agency is controlled in turn by Russian Technologies, a state holding company that includes the country's top arms manufacturers. The chief executive of Russian Technologies is Sergei Chemezov, a longtime confidant of Putin, who returned to the Russian presidency last year.
U.S. officials long have known corruption in Russia's defense industry is widespread.
William Burns, then the U.S. ambassador to Russia, wrote in a 2007 classified cable later published by the Wikileaks website that "it is an open secret that the Russian defense industry is an important trough at which senior officials feed, and weapons sales continue to enrich many."
Nothing has changed, but figuring out who is personally profiting is nearly impossible, said Russia expert Clifford Gaddy.
Only a small circle of investigators close to the Kremlin know who is involved in various schemes.
"Since the information they have is one of the most powerful instruments Putin has to control the individuals who run Russia on a day-to-day basis, they protect that information," said Gaddy, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-author of "Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin."
With the penalties lifted against Rosoboronexport, Russia's ministry of foreign affairs wasted little time informing U.S. officials that new Mi-17s could be purchased only through the arms export agency because the helicopters were military gear intended for another country's armed forces.
After lengthy deliberations, the U.S. agreed. Pentagon officials no longer would permit third parties to acquire Mi-17s. They would deal with Rosoboronexport directly.
Last month, the Pentagon changed its mind. After re-evaluating, officials decided to cut 15 copters out of the 78 they had planned to buy from Moscow. Isaykin, Rosoboronexport's director general, said the decision won't hurt the export agency's bottom line.
"Rosoboronexport's order book is sufficient to ensure the steady utilization of Russian defense industrial complex's production capacities, especially in the helicopter sector, for the next three-four years," he said.

The Democ-RATS and their Pressholes are now attacking Rudy Giuliani to get rid of Trump. Read and share the Facts


The Democ-Rats are out to try and get Rudy before he brings their house of corruption down. They are going through his old divorce case and anything they can dig up hoping to black mail him into stopping the exposure.

FOLKS WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE AFTER DONALD TRUMP SO FEROCIOUSLY? ITS BECAUSE FORM GEORGE SOROS AND OBAMA DOWN TO THE FOOT SOLDIERS LIKE MCCABE AND STRZOK.. THEY ALL GREASED THEY ALL TOOK KICKS BACKS AND OTHERS HAD THEIR PALMS GREASED TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY!

U.S. District Court • Southern District of New York

THE DEMOCRAT STRONGHOLD ...THE US DISTRICT COURT.,.SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (PORTRAYED SO WELL AS TO HOW CROOKED THEY ARE IN THE SHOWTIME SERIES "BILLIONS" ) IS TRYING TO BLOCK RUDY GIULIANI FROM EXPOSING THE DEEP DEEP CORRUPTIONS THAT EXISTS IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. THE WHOLE PARTY APPARATUS IS SET UP FOR "PAY TO PLAY"

SO NOW..the FAKE NEWS mainstream media (MSM) are parading around “Two business associates" of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani  shown being arrested on campaign finance charges” as if this a something burger. It’s a nothing burger and obviously a trap they walked right into it. 

According to the indictment, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman have been under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan. The MSM is making sure that you know that these two men are associates of attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani who happens to be their lawyer (in other matters – not this), and who also is President Trump’s personal attorney. They were arrested on charges that they conspired to funnel foreign money to U.S. politicians in a bid, while attempting to launch a marijuana business across four different states with a foreign investor (like most large ventures do), according to a newly unsealed indictment






In summary here is what the indictment claims:



Why Do People Believe in Conspiracy Theories? | SiOWfa16 ...

  • They deal in multi-million dollar real estate deals and other businesses. (How dare they make money?)
  • They wanted to cash in on recreational marijuana but needed investors. (How dare they raise money for a business venture?)
  • They met with foreign investors over dinner and drinks to discuss the recreational marijuana business (Unheard of)
  • They never donated money to a campaign except for Donald J. Trump (So did half of America)
  • They got $1 MIL from the foreign investor for a multi-state recreational marijuana business (They don’t need proof they just know)
  • These two Americans are of Ukrainian and Belarus decent! (Every Syrian is now a suspect? Racist Much?)
  • There is a lot more intricate language like: One donated on behalf of another and it was such an insane amount – $10,000 he donated weeks after meeting with a Russian.
  • They made a lot of money from selling property in Miami. Multi-million dollar properties to foreigners and then after successfully making a ton of money, they donated to a PAC for Trump. The money was from foreigners!


I guess these foreign born or linked guys should be looked into as well. HGTV: Million Dollar Listing

IF IT’S A NOTHING BURGER WHY THE INDICTMENT?

You can get a ham sandwich indicted because the grand jury only hears your side of the story. In court this will all be dismissed. After all, these men now have time to prepare and get discovery! All of that will be under seal, which means that Adam Schiff is having a bad day.



Pencil Neck Full O’ Schiff

Adam Schiff loves closed-door testimony because he doesn’t have to release the transcript and he can say whatever he wants to the media and they take it as gospel. MSM aren’t reporting news. The MSM is the PR arm for the Dishonest Democrats.


Adam Schiff subpoenaed Parnas and Fruman to testify and turn over documents and communications related to their donations today. Is it because they care about the ongoing private civil suit going on in Florida? No, it’s because the “RUSSIA HOAX” is dead and they are looking to revive it.



Resurrecting the RUSSIA HOAX and UKRAINE/RUSSIA HOAX
What’s funny is, is that they didn’t know they were arrested late last night. It’s almost as if Leaky Schiff’s office is in the dark about many things. The Delinquent Democrats are so terrified that they will be held accountable for their crimes they have committed against the people of the United States (not to mention the ACT OF WAR of weaponizing migrants by funding caravans) that they will do anything to remove President Trump.
Apparently Paul Pelosi Jr. found out that when Joe Biden was NOT officially a candidate for the Presidential race, Giuliani was talking to the Ukrainians. In fact, Parnas told the Post that Giuliani is his lawyer. He set up a call via Skype for his lawyer with Viktor Shokin and coordinated (because he speaks Ukrainian) the face to face meeting Yuri Lutsenko had with Giuliani in New York. Viktor Shokin was the guy Biden bragged about getting fired.


Since they are so insanely vicious they can’t see, they walked right into it.
Parnas said he and Fruman helped set up a Skype call for Giuliani in late 2018 with Viktor Shokin, who was Ukraine’s prosecutor general from 2015 to 2016, and an in-person meeting in New York in January 2019 with Yuri Lutsenko, then Ukraine’s prosecutor general.
NY Attorney General Leticia ran her campaign foaming at the mouth about President Trump, so when SDNY announced that they might have something linking President Trump or his attorney to Ukraine, they immediately went after it! They didn’t consult with Adam Schiff, who was waiting to subpoena them today to testify behind closed doors. OOPS!


Below are the subpoenas Schiff sent off this morning demanding them to appear. Unfortunately, they were arrested last night. Will they offer them a “deal”? They walked right into it. It’s a criminal investigation that means they can’t attend his “pony show”.

Link to all Documents
On page 4, Schiff made it clear that as private citizens they HAVE to testify, but now that they are arrested they can’t. Everything they asked them to produce is under attorney client privilege in an ongoing criminal investigation.
That means that all the Ukraine details about Biden, Pelosi, Romney, and many many more will be part of PUBLIC RECORD, not behind closed doors. The timing of the subpoena is very suspect. Regardless, if I were Adam Schiff, I would be worried about the UKRAINIAN that donated TONS of cash to his campaign. Which Ukrainian? Igor Pasternack.



According to Scott Adams, Pasternack received $15.5 MIL of government funding for development work – not to provide an actual product just research and development. Apparently BLIMPS are “incognito and great for covert surveillance.



Across the street from AEROS “business” a jet that is owned by PACIFIC REAL ESTATE CONSULTING is parked? Don’t the Pelosi’s have a company with that name in their portfolio?  https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Pelosi-s-husband-prefers-a-low-profile-2660253.php
Everyone who signed off on the $15.5 MIL allocation to AEROS (that includes SCHIFF) got big campaign donations from the company itself. THAT'S PAY TO PLAY

Looks like this SHELL COMPANY who has 5 employees got tons of money from Californian Democrats. Funny thing is, AEROS got a fancy patent (HERE) for their surveillance blimp granting them exclusivity in 2015! In 2015, Schiff and the other Democrats that got campaign donations from AEROS raised MORE money for the shell blimp company.

WILLIAM BARR AND THE SENATE REPUBLICANS WITH BALLS... NEED TO OPEN UP AN INQUIRY TO GET THE TAX RETURNS OF PELOSI, SCHIFF AND OTHER CRIMINALS!



Democrats “invest” in incognito Ukrainian surveillance blimps
No wonder Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and almost all the Democrats are working overtime with their partner, the MSM to overthrow the government.

TIME FOR US TO FIGHT BACK

FACTS ABOUT THE KURDS AND WHAT TRUMP DID IN SYRIA. FAKE NEWS HAS BLOWN IT UP AGAIN.

No, We’re Not Selling Out the Syrian Kurds. But We Should Mediate Their Conflict With Turkey. DO NOT BELIEVE THE LEFTY FAKE MEDIA! 

You've probably been hearing hearing from the Democrats and the Lefty Fake News Media how terrible President Trump is for abandoning "our allies," the stateless Kurds.

The fact is, he pulled 50 US troops out of harm's way and redeployed 250 others.

And by the way...all in a war created by President Obama WHO NEVER SOUGHT NOR RECEIVED CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL AS REQUIRED BY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. 

Caught up in a conflict between long-standing NATO ally Turkey and a recently engaged Kurdish tactical partner in Syria, the Trump administration has accommodated the legitimate security interests of Turkey by staging a partial pullback of U.S. special operations forces in northeastern Syria. 

It did so to get out of the way of a Turkish intervention launched Wednesday. 

Although critics of the Trump administration have rushed to denounce the decision as a “sellout” of the Syrian Kurds, that’s not true. Washington received no payoff from Ankara for stepping aside, and is not “abandoning the Kurds,” as many critics contend.  
Washington’s ad hoc partnership with Syrian Kurds never included a commitment to help them fight Turkey, only to fight the Islamic State, the terrorist army also known as ISIS.
The United States still supports Syrian Kurds against ISIS, just as it supports Iraqi Kurds and the Iraqi government against ISIS. But Washington has remained neutral with regard to Turkey’s complaints about the threats Syrian Kurds pose to Turkey.  
To be more specific, the Pentagon continues to support the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces against ISIS. It has declined, however, to work with the largest Kurdish armed faction within the those forces, the People’s Protection Units (YPG in its Kurdish acronym) to resist the Turkish intervention.
In geopolitical terms, that’s a logical and necessary decision.
Trump Warns Turkey’s President
Turkey is a long-term strategic ally that exercises major influence in the Middle East. The YPG is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK in its Kurdish acronym), a U.S.-designated terrorist group that has waged war against Turkey off and on since 1984 in a bloody separatist insurrection that has claimed more than 40,000 lives.
Although the Obama and Trump administrations accepted the YPG as a newfound tactical ally in the war against ISIS, neither administration embraced the YPG/PKK agenda regarding Turkey. 
Both administrations stressed U.S. cooperation with the Syrian Democratic Forces, an ad hoc anti-ISIS coalition in which the YPG influence was diluted by the participation of Arab factions opposed to ISIS.
President Donald Trump on Oct. 7 warned Turkey against going “off limits” in Syria, and has threatened to apply economic sanctions if Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ignores the warning. 
The president doubled down on the sanctions threat Friday by authorizing the Treasury Department to prepare “significant sanctions” against Turkey, if necessary.  
That’s a far cry from giving Ankara a “green light,” as some critics contend. 
Washington also stands ready to act as an intermediary between its Syrian Kurdish partners and Ankara. After Turkey has secured its border, a possibility exists that the United States can broker an understanding that could mitigate friction between the two.
Nor is the Trump administration removing all U.S. troops from Syria at this time. The Pentagon has pulled back about 50 special operations troops from the Turkish-Syrian border, and up to 230 U.S. troops—out of the roughly 1,000 deployed in Syria—have been redeployed to the south, but remain in eastern Syria.  
Disagreements Over Buffer Zone  
The United States had been negotiating with Turkey on creating a buffer zone in northeastern Syria, in part to avert a unilateral Turkish intervention, which Ankara long had threatened. 
But Erdogan, apparently frustrated over the failure of Washington to accede to his demand for a zone 20 miles deep and 300 miles long along Turkey’s border, pulled the plug on the negotiations.  
Things came to a head Oct. 6, when Erdogan told Trump in a phone call that Turkey was determined to cross the border. After Erdogan stated that he would unilaterally establish the zone by force, Trump acquiesced and pulled U.S. troops out of harm’s way.
If that order had not been given, there was a significant risk that U.S. troops would have been caught up in the fighting or even drawn into a military clash with Turkey.  
Although there has been much handwringing over the administration’s failure to support the Kurds against Turkey, it’s difficult to see how battling a NATO ally would have preserved American credibility as an ally. 
Pentagon officials on Tuesday denied breathless press reports that defense officials had been blindsided by the president’s action, revealing that Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, actually had participated in the president’s phone call with Erdogan.
What some U.S. officials may have been surprised by was Trump’s tweet about a total U.S. withdrawal from Syria to end what he called “endless wars.” They know that the enemy gets a vote in ending any war, and ISIS by no means has given up fighting. 
Holding ISIS at Bay
U.S. vigilance will be necessary to block the terror group’s comeback. Trump must listen to his national security team and avoid declaring a premature end to war against ISIS.  
ISIS has returned to its underground roots, but remains a potent threat to regional security and a long-term threat to U.S. security if it can regroup.  The Islamist extremist forces that morphed into ISIS already made a disastrous comeback in Iraq in 2014 and could do so again in Syria.  
The underlying political conditions that facilitated the rise of ISIS remain in Syria—anarchy, dysfunctional government, and the systematic repression meted out by the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad. Washington must be careful not to contribute to a power vacuum that would make an ISIS resurgence easier.
The inspector general for the coalition to defeat ISIS warned in a report in August that ISIS has established “resurgent cells” in Syria and launched bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, and suicide attacks in areas liberated by the Syrian Democratic Forces.
Turkey is not in a position to guarantee that ISIS will not return. It would have to fight its way through the Kurds to get at ISIS.  
Erdogan, who has turned a blind eye to the infiltration of foreign Islamist extremists into Syria through Turkey, always has viewed the Kurds as a bigger threat to Turkey than ISIS.

For better or worse, the Syrian Democratic Forces are a necessary partner in the struggle against ISIS. Not only does it have skilled and motivated fighters on the ground, but it controls more than 20 prisons and camps that hold about 12,000 ISIS fighters and 58,000 of their family members and supporters.
Q    I just have a question about Turkey.  Are you — how serious are you about being a mediator between the Kurds and the Turks?

THE PRESIDENT:  So, Turkey and the Kurds have been fighting for hundreds of years.  We are out of there.  But we have a tremendous financial strength, which I’ve helped a lot with, because our country has become much stronger since I’ve been President, by many trillions of dollars.  And if Turkey does something that they shouldn’t be doing, we will put on sanctions the likes of which very few countries have ever seen before.

Press question to President Donald Trump October 12, 2019
Bottom Line: Diplomacy Needed
The United States will have to withdraw from Syria eventually. The real issue is whether Washington has made arrangements to adequately protect U.S. interests; namely, preventing an ISIS resurgence, blocking expansion of Iranian influence, and reaching a political settlement in Syria that eases the humanitarian situation and allows the return of refugees.
The Turkish intervention complicates efforts to attain those goals, but does not make them impossible to achieve. 
It’s not too late to salvage an acceptable situation in eastern Syria if the administration can tamp down the fighting between Turkey and the People’s Protection Units and maintain counterterrorism ties with the Syrian Democratic Forces.
Washington should push for a cease-fire in northeastern Syria and reach a clear understanding with Ankara about the size and purpose of Turkey’s new buffer zone. 
The long-term goal should be to broker a sustainable understanding between Ankara and the Syrian Kurds, similar to the understanding that it brokered between Ankara and Iraqi Kurds.
Without such an understanding, Turkey’s intervention will push the Syrian Kurds into the arms of Russia and the Assad regime. Such an outcome would undermine U.S. national security interests in the region, while promoting those of Iran and ISIS.

CLIMATE CHANGE LIARS.. 50 YEARS OF HOAXES. ARE SCIENTISTS REALLY STUPID OR JUST PAID LACKEYS?

Wrong Again& Again & Again: 

50 Years of Failed "Eco-pocalyptic" Predictions

 

 

ARE THE DOOMSDAY SCIENTISTS STUPID OR ARE THEY PAID LACKEYS FOR A CORRUPT GANG OF SCAMMERS TRYING TO STOP CAPITALISM SO THAT COMMUNISM CAN TAKE ROOT ?

ALWAYS ASK WHY THE FERVOR AND PASSION FOR A BOGUS PREDICTION

THE PRIZE IS 
$10,000,000,000,000

Ten trillion dollars. That’s the conservative estimate of the amount of money Barack Obama, Albert Gore Jr., and a whole cast of criminals stand to make yearly (gross) off of the greatest scam in human history: "global warming." "Climate Change"  or whatever the shit you want to call it today. Its all about the money! 



Before we look at the 50 years of scams.. lets revisit why The Green New Deal is louder than ever!

If you have ever sat back, scratching your head and wondering why the Marxists are pushing for a "cap and trade" bill that would not only make energy costs "necessarily skyrocket," to quote Barack Obama, but do absolutely nothing to effect fictional "climate change, " one way or the other, you are about to find out.

We have long known this Marxist idea was nothing more than a continuation of the communist desire to "spread the wealth" by forcibly stealing from those who create and earn, and giving to those that don’t. This is an inbred mental defect that can’t be cured, only contained, the most effective way being: not to elect these evil, corrupt bastards in the first place!
WATCH THIS

 




When we first learned of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) we smelled a rat. No one has been more radical than Barack Obama when it comes to pushing the "global warming" hoax, and the "cap and trade" scheme. Being based in Chicago, common sense told us that Obama was somehow involved, and it was as corrupt as the day is long.
It took Glenn Beck to put it all together, and he has done a remarkable job of spelling it all out. In the videos below, Glenn documents Obama’s ties to the multi-trillion dollar carbon trading scam, Goldman Sachs, the Joyce Foundation, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers' brother, Al Gore, George Soros, Maurice Strong and a whole cast of nerdowells.

Beck does a great job of connecting the dots here, as well as spelling out the scam itself. It’s quite interesting to note that all of the Marxist-democrats were pounding Goldman Sachs in their "show trial" for their handling of derivatives, a "synthetic" financial product, created out of thin air. Never mind it was the Marxist-democrat Party controlled Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac who were involved in the creation of this product, and President Bill Clinton who sanctioned it.

Even Obama’s boss, George Soros, got in on the act writing an essay on his website speaking to the dangers of derivatives.



And yet, this is what carbon trading is, in a way. You are not buying a real product, or producing a benefit. Trading carbon credits can best be described as a "sin tax" with the "sinner" being able to purchase the ability to continuing "sinning," without stopping the "sinful behavior" in any way whatsoever. You are simply redistributing wealth. In this case, those who actually produce will be forced to purchase the right to continue to produce from those who don’t produce. A real triumph for the glorious communist revolution!




But stealing money from the producers, and giving it to the non-producers is only half the story. These carbon credits will have to be tracked and traded. These credits will be treated as any other commodity, and traded on the open market. This is where the Chicago Climate Exchange comes in. They will be the only exchange for trading these credits and will make hefty commissions buying and selling these credits. (They get paid coming and going)

Energy prices will "necessarily skyrocket" because of two factors. One, because producers will have to purchase these credits, adding to the cost of doing business, a cost that will be passed on to the consumer, and two, these producers will be forced to buy the privilege of continuing to produce, from the Chicago Climate Exchange, which will raise the cost of doing business even more, again this will be passed on to the consumer.

This is where Obama, and the rest of what Beck is calling Crime, Incorporated come in. Conservative estimates are Obama, Gore and the other scam artists involved in this deal will gross ten trillion dollars yearly, selling nothing but thin air.

They are lengthy, about 10 minutes each, but watch Glenn as he systematically spells out the entire scam. Pay particular attention to the "shadowy figure" he introduces partway into all of this.

As you see it’s pretty easy to understand why, despite mounting evidence that every single "scientific calculation" declaring the existence of "global warming" is fraudulent, much of it deliberately skewed to show a result that doesn’t exist, Obama, Gore, and a whole host of corrupt-o-crats are pushing harder than ever for a "fix" to a non-existent problem.

Ten trillion dollars is a whole lot of money to be made for essentially doing nothing.

Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange—the rest of the story
Good news to know that the truth will always out—even when you’re Barack Obama.





"Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing Through Congress" is a FOXNews story by Ed Barnes. In short, "While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president."

The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were "instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself "North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide."

And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes.

The "privately-owned" Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong.

For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.

Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as "the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil."





Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate Exchange.





Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States. That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.

Full credit for the expose on the business partnership of Strong and Gore in the cap-and-trade reduction scheme should go to the investigative acumen of the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR).

The tawdry tale of the top two global warming gurus in the business world goes all the way back to Earth Day, April 17, 1995 when the future author of "An Inconvenient Truth" travelled to Fall River, Massachusetts, to deliver a green sermon at the headquarters of Molten Metal Technology Inc. (MMTI). MMTI was a firm that proclaimed to have invented a process for recycling metals from waste. Gore praised the Molten Metal firm as a pioneer in the kind of innovative technology that can save the environment, and make money for investors at the same time.

"Gore left a few facts out of his speech that day," wrote EIR. "First, the firm was run by Strong and a group of Gore intimates, including Peter Knight, the firm’s registered lobbyist, and Gore’s former top Senate aide."

(Fast-forward to the present day and ask yourself why it is that every time someone picks up another Senate rock, another serpent comes slithering out).

Second, the company had received more than $25 million in U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research and development grants, but had failed to prove that the technology worked on a commercial scale. The company would go on to receive another $8 million in federal taxpayers’ cash, at that point, its only source of revenue.

With Al Gore’s Earth Day as a Wall Street calling card, Molten Metal’s stock value soared to $35 a share, a range it maintained through October 1996. But along the way, DOE scientists had balked at further funding. When in March 1996, corporate officers concluded that the federal cash cow was about to run dry, they took action: Between that date and October 1996, seven corporate officers—including Maurice strong—sold off $15.3 million in personal shares in the company, at top market value. On Oct. 20, 1996—a Sunday—the company issued a press release, announcing for the first time, that DOE funding would be vastly scaled back, and reported the bad news on a conference call with stockbrokers.

On Monday, the stock plunged by 49%, soon landing at $5 a share. By early 1997, furious stockholders had filed a class action suit against the company and its directors. Ironically, one of the class action lawyers had tangled with Maurice strong in another insider trading case, involving a Swiss company called AZL Resources, chaired by Strong, who was also a lead shareholder. The AZL case closely mirrored Molten Metal, and in the end, Strong and the other AZL partners agreed to pay $5 million to dodge a jury verdict, when eyewitness evidence surfaced of Strong’s role in scamming the value of the company stock up into the stratosphere, before selling it off.

In 1997, Strong went on to accept from Tongsun Park, who was found guilty of illegally acting as an Iraqi agent, $1 million from Saddam Hussein, which was invested in Cordex Petroleum Inc., a company he owned with his son, Fred.

These are the leaders in the Man-made Global Warming Movement, who three years later were to be funded by the man who was to become President of the United States of America.

If we follow the time line on where Obama was during the funding of the Chicago Climate Exchange, he was still a professor at the University of Chicago Law School teaching constitutional law, with his law license becoming inactive a year later in 2002.

It may be interesting to note that the Chicago Climate Exchange in spite of its hype, is a veritable rat’s nest of cronyism. The largest shareholder in the Exchange is Goldman Sachs. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is its honorary chairman, The Joyce Foundation, which funded the Exchange also funded money for John Ayers’ Chicago School Initiatives. John is the brother of William Ayers.

What a flap when it was discovered that the senator from Chicago had nursed on Saul Alinsky’s milk, had his political career launched at a coffee party held by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and sat for 20 years, uncomplaining in front of the "God-dam-America" pulpit of resentment-challenged Jeremiah Wright.

Folk were naturally outraged that the empty suit who would go on to become TOTUS was spawned from such anti-American activism.

But the media should have been hollering, "Stop Thief!" instead.

The same Chicago Climate Exchange promoting public rip-off was funded by Obama before he was POTUS.

Even as man-made global warming is being exposed as a money-generating hoax, Obama is working feverishly to push the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme through Congress.

Obama was never the character he created for himself in the fairy-tale version in "Dreams of My Father". He’s the agent of Change and Hope for cohorts making money down at the Chicago Climate Exchange.

The Barbarians are pushing at the gate of the Global Warming fraud, and to borrow a line from children playing Hide and Seek, Here they come, ready or not!




These are world class crooks we are dealing with here, and these plans have been in motion for quite some time. As you can easily see, hyping the "global warming" scam is nothing more than a scheme by a very few über corrupt Marxists who want to gain unbelievable wealth for themselves and their cronies, as well as the complete and total domination over all mankind.

This is nothing short of pure evil, and this group wishes to build a worldwide power base that absolutely no one will be able to escape the reach of. It’s a diabolical scheme that will not only destroy the United States, but every civilized nation on earth. It will wipe out the very concept of personal Liberty and Freedom world wide. The entire world will be little more than slaves to the whims of a few deranged sociopaths whose desire for wealth and power is without limit.

Investors Business Daily has also addressed this incredible mess:



The $10 Trillion Climate Fraud
Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.

Lost in the recent headlines was Al Gore's appearance Monday in Denver at the annual meeting of the Council of Foundations, an association of the nation's philanthropic leaders.

"Time's running out (on climate change)," Gore told them. "We have to get our act together. You have a unique role in getting our act together."



Gore was right that foundations will play a key role in keeping the climate scam alive as evidence of outright climate fraud grows, just as they were critical in the beginning when the Joyce Foundation in 2000 and 2001 provided the seed money to start the Chicago Climate Exchange. It started trading in 2003, and what it trades is, essentially, air. More specifically perhaps, hot air.

The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) advertises itself as "North America's only cap-and-trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide." Barack Obama served on the board of the Joyce Foundation from 1994 to 2002 when the CCX startup grants were issued. As president, pushing cap-and-trade is one of his highest priorities. Now isn't that special?





Few Americans have heard of either entity. The Joyce Foundation was originally the financial nest egg of a widow whose family had made millions in the now out-of-favor lumber industry.

After her death, the foundation was run by philanthropists who increasingly dedicated their giving to liberal causes, including gun control, environmentalism and school changes.

Currently, CCX members agree to a voluntary but legally binding agreement to regulate greenhouse gases.

The CCX provides the mechanism in trading the very pollution permits and carbon offsets the administration's cap-and-trade proposals would impose by government mandate.

Thanks to Fox News' Glenn Beck, we have learned a lot about CCX, not the least of which is that its founder, Richard Sandor, says he knew Obama well back in the day when the Joyce Foundation awarded money to the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, where Sandor was a research professor.

Sandor estimates that climate trading could be "a $10 trillion dollar market." It could very well be, if cap-and-trade measures like Waxman-Markey and Kerry-Boxer are signed into law, making energy prices skyrocket, and as companies buy and sell permits to emit those six "greenhouse" gases.

So lucrative does this market appear, it attracted the attention of London-based Generation Investment Management, which purchased a stake in CCX and is now the fifth-largest shareholder.

As we noted last year, Gore is co-founder of Generation Investment Management, which sells carbon offsets of dubious value that let rich polluters continue to pollute with a clear conscience.

Other founders include former Goldman Sachs partner David Blood, as well as Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris, also of Goldman Sachs. In 2006, CCX received a big boost when another investor bought a 10% stake on the prospect of making a great deal of money for itself. That investor was Goldman Sachs, now under the gun for selling financial instruments it knew were doomed to fail.

The actual mechanism for trading on the exchange was purchased and patented by none other than Franklin Raines, who was CEO of Fannie Mae at the time.

Raines profited handsomely to the tune of some $90 million by buying and bundling bad mortgages that led to the collapse of the American economy. His interest in climate trading is curious until one realizes cap-and-trade would make housing costlier as well.

Amazingly, none of these facts came up at Senate hearings on Goldman Sachs' activities, which may be nothing more than Ross Perot's famous "gorilla dust," meant to distract us from the real issues.
The climate trading scheme being stitched together here will do more damage than Goldman Sachs, AIG and Fannie Mae combined. But it will bring power and money to its architects.

recap:

The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) is projecting a $10 trillion a year gross profit if the Obama regime’s cap and tax scheme passes. It will destroy the nation’s economy. When Trump became President  they LOST THIS LONG TERM PROSPECT TO RAPE AMERICA. YOU CAN SEE WHY THE DEMOCRATS WANT TRUMP OUT! HE STANDS IN THE WAY OF HUGE PAYOUTS FOR THE "DEMOSOACIALIST" OLIGARCHY CLASS OF CROOKS

Barrack Obama, while a board member of the Joyce Foundation, provided the funding for the formation of the CCX. Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s top adviser, still sits on the board. The money to form the CCX was funneled by Obama to the brother of a murdering domestic terrorist, who declared war on the United States and set off bombs in the Capitol, the Pentagon, as well as police stations, Army recruiting centers, and other government buildings nationwide.

London-based Generation Investment Management (GIM), realizing this was a license to print money, purchased a significant stake in CCX. (fifth largest shareholder) GIM was founded by none other than former Vice President, and chief "global warming" hoaxer, Albert Gore, Jr., along with a cabal of former and present Goldman Sachs people such as David Blood, a former Goldman executive, as well as Mark Ferguson, and Peter Harris, who are still part of Goldman Sachs, just to name a few. Read more here.

Franklin Raines, perhaps one of the most crooked men alive, the man who stole $90 million dollars, for himself, while head of Fannie Mae...by cooking the books, a deed that most certainly helped cause the housing collapse and economic hardships we are in now, used taxpayer money to buy the technology to measure and manage "carbon." The "big board." The patent for this nonsense was granted the day after Obama won the presidential election. More reading here.

GIM, the collaboration between Al Gore and the Goldman Sachs people owns 10 percent of CCX, and it’s potential $10 trillion yearly take, Goldman Sachs also owns 10 percent of CCX. This is an incredible weave of corruption, deceit, and greed. Remember when Obama said last week that at some point one has "made enough money" ? Obviously this vile concept doesn’t apply to Obama himself or his crooked friends.

There is only one way to stop this nightmare from reaching it’s full potential, and the destruction of civil society as we know it, and that is to make sure no legislation mandating cap and tax, or any other "climate change" tomfoolery ever comes to fruition.

With the enviro-moonbattery that is being ginned up over the tragedy in the Gulf, you can bet Obama and his co-conspirators will be working at breakneck speed to get the legislation in place that will make them wealthy beyond all description, and enslave mankind to their will for all eternity.

This must be stopped and stopped now. In a just society, men like Al Gore, George Soros, Barack Obama and the rest of this criminal enterprise, would be thrown in a dark prison to rot, never to see the light of day again.

I’m not sure we can make that happen, but we can expose these people and make sure none of their plans come to fruition. We can then start voting all of those who sympathize with this nonsense out of office until there are no more Marxists, progressives, or any other corrupt beings serving in any elected office, at any level. This is the only way we can save the nation, and the world.


Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.
None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.
What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.
More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.
While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited.

Gas hydrate dissociation off Svalbard induced by isostatic rebound rather than global warming
Abstract
Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when the rate of isostatic uplift outpaced eustatic sea-level rise. The resultant local shallowing and lowering of hydrostatic pressure forced gas hydrate dissociation and dissolved chloride depletions consistent with our geochemical analysis. Hence, we propose that hydrate dissociation was triggered by postglacial isostatic rebound rather than anthropogenic warming. Furthermore, we show that methane fluxes from dissociating hydrates were considerably smaller than present methane seepage rates implying that gas hydrates were not a major source of methane to the oceans, but rather acted as a dynamic seal, regulating methane release from deep geological reservoirs.

MORE HOAXES AND PREDICTIONS!
In 1974, there was unanimous consensus among scientists that earth had been cooling since the 1940s.


Fast forward forty-five years. A small group of people, many of whom who were not alive in 1974, have determined they know more about the weather in 1974 than the scientists who lived through it and studied it at the time.

Zeke Hausfather, who openly brags about being a left-wing activist, is one of those people. He believes that adding tens of thousands of very low quality fragmented records into the database, has improved the quality of the temperature record.

It is simple enough to test out which version of the pre-1980 temperature record is better. The version made by the people who lived through it, or the younger people now who are paid to generate graphs which show a lot of warming.  We can compare the two versions vs. historical accounts of ice and other observations.
It’s amazing how many people even today use a computer to do something you can do with a pencil and paper in less time.

Glaciers and sea ice were rapidly shrinking during the first half of the 20th century.

The Changing Face of the Arctic; The Changing Face of the Arctic – The New York Times
But a few years before 1960, things changed. Earth started cooling rapidly, and ice started expanding.




We have a number of historical data points. Let’s plot them on the different graphs and see which make sense. In the 1974 NCAR graph, ice melts at high temperatures, and forms at low temperatures.
But in the current NASA graph, Ice melts at low temperatures, and forms at high temperatures. This makes no sense and shows us that the graph is bogus.
Climate scientists colluded to make these worthless graphs.

If we look at only high quality temperature data from Australia, the graph makes sense.

But the official BOM graph makes no sense.

The 1979 US temperature graph from NASA made sense.

The current version makes no sense.
It is crystal clear that current official temperature graphs are nonsense.
“No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated.”

Government funded scientists say the Arctic is warming at an astonishing rate.
Scientists released this year’s Arctic Report Card on Tuesday, and it is a dismal one. Researchers say the Arctic continues to warm up at rates they call “astonishing.”

Arctic Is Warming At ‘Astonishing’ Rates, Researchers Say : The Two-Way : NPR
Almost 70 years ago, experts used the exact same words.
Dr. William S. Carlson, an Arctic expert, said last night that Polar icecaps were melting at an astonishing and unexplained rate and threatening to swamp seaports by raising ocean levels.
“The glaciers of Norway and Alaska,” he said, “are only half the size they were 50 years ago.”

Zeke seems to think his poor data practices supersede the historical record.
The exact same thing was done by Michael Mann to the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age.




  


There was a time when climate scientists did actual science.  We need to return to that.
Dr. Roberts was spot on.

The summer of 1976 was the warmest and driest on record in England.

By 1977, California was experiencing their worst drought on record.




In 1936, the Australian Medical Congress was certain about the relationship between sunspots and natural disasters.

In 1932, scientists showed a close correspondence between sunspot cycles and past climate.

In 1994, astronomers showed a correlation between the length of sunspot cycles and Earth’s temperature.

The relationship between sunspots and grain prices has long been known.

This idea was first proposed by British astronomer William Herschel in 1801, and confirmed 200 years later.


Dr. Willett was spot on. We need real scientists like Willet and Walter Orr Roberts – not arrogant hacks like Mann and Hausfather.

Scientists now claim that a 0.0001 mole fraction increase in CO2 over the past century controls the climate.  This is because the Sun can’t be controlled, scientists can’t pretend they know how to prevent bad weather, and politicians can’t use sunspots as an excuse to raise taxes and control energy policy.

The 1:10,000 increase in atmospheric CO2 over the past century is equivalent to packing an extra two people into Madison Square Garden

People like Hausfather have been using bad data to promote imaginary climate change for over 150 years. Time to bring this episode to an end.

Smoking Gun Of Fraud And Collusion

Zeke claims that there was no cooling in the Southern Hemisphere from 1940-1960, and he uses NASA temperature graphs as his evidence.
He also says every group of government researchers around the world agrees about this.

This is in direct contradiction to what NOAA said in 1978, when they showed peak surface cooling in the Southern Hemisphere
This is easy to test, because there is only one country in the southern hemisphere with coherent long term data. Australia has twenty locations where temperatures have been continuously recorded back to the 1880s.
This group of stations shows that Australian temperatures peaked about a century ago, and reached their minimum during the 1970s. All metrics show the same thing.

Here is the list of stations used in this analysis.

The only plausible explanation for how all the agencies got it wrong, is that they colluded to produce the same graphs – as indicated in this Climategate e-mail

The Australian temperature graph from the Bureau of Meteorology is not only fake, but it hides all of the hot temperatures before 1910. It in no way represents Australia temperatures

January, 1896 was the hottest month on record in New South Wales, and BOM hides the heat.






It was also hot in Europe in 1896.

A ten day heatwave during August 1896 killed thousands of people in the US, many of them in New York.

Arizona’s record heatwave over 120F occurred in 1896.

1896 was also a momentous year for climate science, when it started down the path of junk science, superstition and hiding and manipulating data
As early as in 1896, Swedish physicist Arrhenius proposed that the presence of atmospheric greenhouse gases may result in warmer surface temperatures on Earth than a simple radiative balance would imply. A comparison between measured surface temperatures and estimated effective temperatures (assuming the planets behave like black bodies and are at radiational equilibrium) of the planets in our solar system has later revealed that planets with thick atmospheres, such as Venus and Earth, have a warmer surface than a simple radiation equilibrium can explain (Houghton 1991). The high surface temperature can be attributed to the greenhouse effect proposed by Arrhenius
The climate science was an actual science, its participants would want to understand the heat of the past – rather than hide it.

Balls Of Fire Fell Like Meteors

On October 8, 1871 the worst fires in US history occurred. Chicago burned to the ground, as did many other towns around Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Peshtigo, Wisconsin was hardest hit, with more than 1,000 dead.
Balls of fire were observed to fall like meteors in different parts of the town.
It seemed as if the love of God had been withdrawn from the place, and the fury fiends of hell had been loosened to wantonly vex and torment the people.

The Worthless Temperature Record From South America

Time Travelling Climate Scientists

Zeke Hausfather has determined that he knows more about the weather of the 1970s, than all of the scientists who were studying it at the time.
By definition, the temperatures recorded 40+ years ago are at least 40 years old.  Zeke is arguing that history should be ignored, because it is old. He thinks he knows better than the scientists who actually observed the global cooling in the 1970s, like NCAR, the National Academy of Sciences, and NOAA.
NOAA showed cooling in both hemispheres from both surface and radiosonde measurements.

NOAA
There was no question earth was cooling sharply after the 1940s. Ice was increasing. Ice doesn’t lie, but climate scientists do.






Forty-two top American and European researchers sent a letter to the president warning that the current rate of cooling would lead to a new ice age in about a century.

This Climategate email shows that scientists at multiple agencies and different countries colluded to remove the warmth of the 1940s, and subsequent cooling.

Zeke brags that they are using a lot more stations now, but note that there has been essentially no change in historical coverage.  All they have done is add a lot of fragmented, low quality data which scientists 40 years ago were wise enough to ignore. In the 1970s they used only high quality data, because they were actual scientists.

The only thing Zeke has accomplished is he has added a huge number of broken, fragmented stations.  Here is every single daily temperature record for Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in the GHCN database. The vast majority of these stations should never have been used.
Zeke claims they have millions of ocean temperatures from the “mid-century period”

In this Climategate e-mail, Phil Jones said much of the Southern Hemisphere data was “made up.”

NASA didn’t even pretend to have usable pre-1950 ocean data until about 15 years ago.
The methodology for collecting ocean data has created an error bar which is much greater than the claimed trend.
Zeke claims that all of these independent agencies agree, but when Gavin Schmidt at NASA was confronted obviously fraudulent temperatures in Iceland, he responded by saying his data comes from NOAA. There is nothing independent about the data.

Senator Malcolm Roberts confronted Schmidt about this data tampering.

Gavin responded with this ad hominem attack.
Then he responded by saying that NASA data actually comes from NOAA. So there is nothing independent about the data sets.
Zeke claims there were no cooling outside of the Northern Hemisphere higher-latitude regions

The US is the only large area with a high quality long term temperature record, and it shows sharp cooling into the 1970s, and temperatures no warmer now than 80 years ago.
Summers were much hotter in the US 80 years ago.
