Five months of texts deleted? Hmm... Just so happens to be the months of the coup? 

 

 

What happened during those five months? 

 

-Dossier published

-Strzok interviewed Flynn

-Flynn fired

-Comey and Trump discuss Flynn

-Comey tells Congress abt Russia probe

-Comey fired

-Mueller appointed

 

Think there are nuggets from that time period that are relevant?

Linking this here too:

Just now, Deranged Rhino said:

This also belongs in the deep state thread, but I'll put the original here: 

 

Is 45 lining up treason charges for 44?

 

A bold idea, certainly. But is there any substance to it? Let's dig into it a little deeper and find out.  

 

This story hasn't gotten nearly enough ink, though that's about to change since Sessions and the DOJ just opened a fresh investigation into this scandal:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/22/sessions-orders-doj-review-after-report-obama-administration-gave-hezbollah-pass.html

 

First, remember who Hezbollah is. They've been listed by the State Department as a terrorist organization since 1997. They are fanatically anti-American and, outside of AQ, have killed more Americans around the globe than any other terrorist outfit. The Americans killed include both civilians and military (1983 Berlin bombing). Their reach and power have grown through associations with a rogue's list of American enemies: Iran primarily, but also (at times) North Korea, Syria, Russia, Cuba and Venezuela. 

 

But don't be mistaken, Hezbollah is Iran. They consider the Mullahs to be their leaders, and are merely an extension of the Islamic state.

 

Even the loathsome former DNI Clapper agrees:  

http://www.dia.mil/News/Speeches-and-Testimonies/Article-View/Article/570863/statement-for-the-record-worldwide-threat-assessment/

(more background)

https://www.cfr.org/interview/hezbollah-connection-syria-and-iran

 

Iran has been on the State Department's list of terrorist sponsors since 1984. In June 2016 the State Department declared Iran to be the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism. Their number one target is Israel, followed closely by the United States. Iran has committed acts of terror and attacked America through Hezbollah and other Jihadi groups, including cyber attacks on American banks:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwarfare_in_Iran#Attacks_by_Iran

 

The point is that both Iran and Hezbollah have been US enemies for decades, carrying out operations against civilian and military targets alike across the globe. But no one knew much about Hezbollah's operation inside the US until the brilliant (and shocking) politico article which started this thread:

https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/

 

If you haven't read that, do. Sit down while reading. It's not only long, it's shocking. It lays out in detail how 44 was so obsessed with getting the Iran deal done, he was willing to allow Hezbollah to operate unchecked INSIDE the US, running drugs and human trafficking networks.

 

The article paints a vivid picture of 44 actively working to strengthen Iran's power in the Middle East as well INSIDE the United States through a drug trafficking network. Those drugs were being brought into the poorest and most vulnerable communities. The very ones who voted him into office. Yet, 44 felt it was more important to not piss off Iran and let Hezbollah flourish - US citizens be damned. 

 

The Iran deal was all 44, make no bones about it, even though it was framed as an international push. The details were finalized in April of '15 and signed in January '16. There was INTENSE opposition to this deal the entire time. Knowing this, 44's administration was spying on Americans illegally - domestic groups and members of Congress opposed to the deal. (sound familiar?) 

http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/229062/did-the-obama-administrations-abuse-of-foreign-intelligence-collection-start-before-trump

 

One of the most vocal opponents to the deal was Trump: 

 

There is evidence that the deal itself violated the terms of other treaties the US was a part of, and was also unconstitutional. But 44's administration cared not for law, so they went ahead anyway: 

http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/250793-how-the-iran-deal-violates-the-constitution

 

Due to the MSM doing 44's bidding, almost no details of the deal were known prior to 2017. And once those details started to come out, they were absolutely staggering. Here are just a few: 

 

* As part of the deal, 44 freed known spies and terrorists in US custody - as many as 35. The US got 4 citizens back. 

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/24/obama-iran-nuclear-deal-prisoner-list-details-237381

 

* 44 signed the deal while US prisoners were still being held hostage, rather than demanding their release first - not a violation of law but a disgrace and attack on long precedent. 

 

* The payout wasn't in dollars, but $400 million in Swiss Francs and 1.3b in European notes. 44 organized the swap of US dollars for these currencies to make the deal. 

 

* However, there was a difficulty with the $1.3b total, because of a long standing US gov't rule that limited a payout to $1b in total... so to avoid that, 44 and his team split the request into 13 separate requests of $999,999,999.99 each and a top out of $10,390,236.28. 

 

* Each time the payout was loaded onto pallets and onto a waiting, unmarked Iranian cargo plane which took it to Tehran. 44 sought no assurances that money would stay in Tehran, which is ASTONISHING  considering some of that money most certainly ended up in Hezbollah's and other terrorist outfits hands. 

 

* The deal gifted the Mullahs another $100b+ by lifting the sanctions (which as we've seen, did NOT trickle down to the people, hence the protests now)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/3/iran-claims-100-billion-windfall-from-sanctions-re/

 

 

Those are just a few examples of how shockingly bad this deal was. And how badly 44 wanted to push it through. S. 110 of Article III of the Constitution & 18 U.S. Code 2381 are quite clear:

 

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere is guilty of treason."

 

Does this fit the bill? Let's see:

 

Did 44 owe an allegiance to the US? Yes. 

Are Iran and Hezbollah enemies of the US? Yes.

Did 44 adhere to them? Yes. 

Did he give them aid and comfort? Yes - even worse he actively sought to make them stronger. 

 

Will Trump actually try to charge 44 with this? Remember, Trump despises Obama. It really sounds personal with him: 

http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-obama-isis-2016-6

 

Does that mean he'll actually try to indict a former POTUS for treason? I'm not sure. But the DOJ investigating this sure doesn't seem like a good sign for 44.

The Media’s Shameful Failure On #FISA702

U.S. Senator Rand Paul spent part of Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union talking with Jake Tapper about the problems of the FISA reauthorization. It was a good discussion with Paul saying President Donald Trump erred in signing the reauthorization bill into law. He also explained the problems with the FISA database, and how innocent Americans end up in it. The problem is this discussion came a week late.

 

The reauthorization of FISA was a blip on the radar in DC last week, with most of the media discussing the votes after the fact, or in reference to Sara Carter’s story on a possible House Intelligence report looking into FISA abuse. It’s an extremely frustrating and irksome reality for privacy advocates who have been discussing the problems with the spying program in the days leading up to the votes. Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Elizabeth Warren, and Ron Wyden should have been all over the media on Monday and Tuesday explaining why it was awful Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wouldn’t allow amendments on the bill. The fact the Senate barely approved the legislation via procedural vote should have been the lead, or at least warranted greater discussion, especially since the White House had to send National Intelligence Director Dan Coats to Capitol Hill to twist arms.

 

But that didn’t happen. The focus Monday and Tuesday was on whether Trump actually said “sh*thole countries,” and then whether Trump was physically and mentally fit to be president. CNN had Dr. Sanjay Gupta discuss Trump possibly having heart disease, while Sean Hannity crowed on Fox News Trump was healthy and it was the media which needed to have its heads examined. The debate was on whether Trump weighed what he claimed to weigh, instead of issues which were more important. I saw one person say on Twitter the physical mattered because it was possible the White House doctor lied. That’s fine, but what happens when the entire government may be lying about the benefits of the FISA program. Let’s also not forget the coverage of New Jersey Senator Cory Booker’s treatment of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen during a Senate hearing. Why wasn’t Booker asked why he didn’t ask Nielsen about FISA, since she is the head of DHS? Why was Illinois Senator Dick Durbin not asked about FISA? Why was the focus on DACA, which expires in March, when FISA was scheduled to expire last week, before re-authorization. It just doesn’t make sense.

 

{snip}

 

 

One thing Cato’s Patrick G. Eddington told me was Bill of Rights issues really aren’t important, unless “it’s to attack law abiding gun owners whenever there’s a mass shooting by a random psycho,” and he’s right. The media is far more concerned with emotion or something which can get people talking. The idea of having a deep discussion on constitutional issues aren’t a thing unless there’s scandal involved, hence Hannity’s talk days later on possible FISA abuse.

 

The media should know better, but it’s not surprising. News outlets have long preferred the salacious instead of discussions of actual importance. George Washington was criticized for not getting involved in the French Revolution. The run up to the election of 1828 featured mudslinging of all kinds, with arguments Andrew Jackson’s wife was a bigamist, and John Quincy Adams’ alleged purchase of “gambling items,” for the White House with government money. The Meese Report in the 80’s studied pornography. Democrats these days like to say people are going to die, when something happens, whether it’s a government shutdown, Net Neutrality being repealed, or tax cuts.

 

Media outlets have every right to cover what they want, when they want. It’s the nature of the free press and the First Amendment. But it’s maddening when they decide to ignore constitutional issues to focus on issues which may or may not be important, like presidential physicals. It allows the government to get away with passing unconstitutional programs, like FISA.

His status is NOT unclear. He's been moved to a high security prison (says a lot) and is being asked to pay 6b for his release. But, because of the EO on the 22nd of December (one that should be looked at closely if you haven't already), he doesn't have that cash. He'll die in prison, if he's not executed first.

[Deranged Rhino]

Speaking of that Executive Order, it's important to understand in context of what coming our way. I contend that this EO will wind up being one of the most historically important EO's of 45's term.

 

We haven't really broken it down in detail before. Let's change that: 

 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

 

This is an EO designed to confiscate the property of those people involved in serious human right's abuses and corruption. First notice the language used declares a state of emergency is already in place. This means that 45 can exert incredible powers at this time, including instituting Martial Law if needed. 

 

Quote

I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

 

Linking human rights abuse with corruption isn't unheard of, but it's seemingly an odd combination for this EO at first blush. Notice both human rights abuse and corruption are viewed as an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to national security, foreign policy and the economy of the United States. 

 

Now, we get into the order itself: 

 

Quote

Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:

 

(i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order;

 

(ii) any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney

General:

 

(A) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, serious human rights abuse;

 

(B) to be a current or former government official, or a person acting for or on behalf of such an official, who is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in:

 

(1) corruption, including the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources, or bribery; or

 

(2) the transfer or the facilitation of the transfer of the proceeds of corruption;

 

(C) to be or have been a leader or official of:

 

(1) an entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section relating to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or

 

(2) an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order as a result of activities related to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or

 

(D) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section; and

 

This is all pretty standard so far, stuff we've seen before. It's laying out how they can now seize the assets of any person on the attached list (which we will get to) or any foreign person who does business with them. 

 

Where it gets REALLY interesting is here in (iii):

 

Quote

(iii) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:

(A) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of:

(1) any activity described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section that is conducted by a foreign person;

(2) any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or

(3) any entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section, where the activity is conducted by a foreign person;

(B) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or

(C) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (iii)(A) or (B) of this section.

 

Notice, this gives the SecTreasury and AG the power to seize the assets of Americans who do business with any of the names on the list (again, we'll get to the names) OR any American who violates these terms from section (ii):

 

Quote

(B) to be a current or former government official, or a person acting for or on behalf of such an official, who is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in:

 

(1) corruption, including the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources, or bribery; or

 

(2) the transfer or the facilitation of the transfer of the proceeds of corruption;

 

Hmm... does anything stand out to you on that list in terms of US government officials? Or about what might be coming out in the memo or the DOJ IG report? It's a blanket order to seize the assets of those AMERICANS IN PUBLIC OFFICE (and the private sector) who engage in "misappropriation of state assets/corruption related to government contracts". 

 

Remember what's been found on Hillary's servers so far: SAPs. Those are some of the most prized and classified programs in the USIC and there were dozens of SAPs found on both Weiner's laptop and Hillary's servers which we KNOW were breached by MULTIPLE state actors. Meaning, she exposed SAP programs to foreign actors... That's just one example of how the language in this order can be turned on the Clintons or their team.

 

This gives 45 incredible power to directly deal with corruption inside the government without having to go through the court system where friendly/bribed judges could stymie the effort. 

 

Now, keeping all this in mind. Let's look at the names targeted by this order:

This is a rogue's gallery of bad actors. Known arms dealers, human traffickers, and genocidal madmen. But... if you do a little digging, what do you discover about almost every name on that list? 

 

Most have a direct connection to either the Clinton Foundation, Bill Clinton, Obama, or Hillary Clinton herself. 

 

Don't believe me? Look: 

 

Here's #5 on the list with the Obamas.

 

What's he famous for? Well, get this: he was installed in 1994 as part of a CIA backed coup in Gambia - an op authorized by the Clinton administration. In 2014, the Obama administration worked to sideline an attempted coup to overthrow Yahya. (remember our rule of thumb: CIA v DIA). He was a friend of both administrations:

 http://www.washingtonblade.com/2014/12/05/obama-administrations-response-gambian-human-rights-abuses-criticized/

 

How about #9 on the list? Oh, this one is a doozy:

 

Goulnara Islamovna Karimova, 45, and daughter of former Uzbekistan leader Karimov, ran a powerful crime syndicate that leveraged state actors to expropriate businesses, solicit bribes, and administer extortion rackets. In early 2016, Amsterdam-based telecom giant VimpelCom (now VEON) admitted to a conspiracy in which they paid millions in bribes to Karimova for entry into the Uzbek telecom market. The US Justice Dept has sought the forfeiture of $850m in bribe money from various bank accounts in Europe. In July, Uzbeck officials arrested Karimova for fraud, money laundering, bribery, and embezzlement.

In 2009, WikiLeaks cables note that Karimova set her sights on Bill Clinton to gain access to then SecState HRC:

https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09TASHKENT1357_a.html

 

Three years later, Karimova co-sponsored a 2012 Clinton Foundation Fundraiser in Monaco. HRC's State Dept was asked to weigh in on Bill Clinton's contact with Karimova at an AIDs chairty in France:

Let's look at #3 on that list: Dan Gertler - a name that should be familiar to some. He's an Israeli billionaire mining magnate and was outted in the Paradise Papers as being the chief negotiator between the Democratic Republic of Congo and his primary business partner GLENCORE founded by... MARC RICH, who was pardoned for corruption by WJC on his last day in office, after his wife gave $450k to the Clinton Library. Glencore immediately fired Gertler following this EO going public. 

http://archive.is/8hH5p

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/glencore-cuts-ties-with-corrupt-israeli-billionaire-dan-gertler-mxzwcjsz0

 

In 2001, Gertler gave $20m in cash to DRC president Kabila which was used to buy arms in order to secure his power base. In exchange, Getler's company IDI was granted a monopoly on the DRC diamond trade worth hundreds of millions a year. In 2013 he sold the DRC the rights to mine oil for $150m - over 300x what he paid for it when he bought the rights from Kabila. 

https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-diamond-mogul-named-in-paradise-papers/

 

In 2012, Kabila offered WJC $650k for a speech in the DRC - which Clinton had to seek State Department approval - which was denied. 

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/glencore-cuts-ties-with-corrupt-israeli-billionaire-dan-gertler-mxzwcjsz0

 

Let's look closer at #2 on that list: Angel Rondon Rijo from the DR was sanctioned for funneling a $92m bribe from Brazilian conglomerate Odebrecht to DR officials as kickbacks. Oderbrecht donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. 

 

Look at #7: Benjamin Bol Mel from the Sudan. He's a financial advisor to South Sudanese President Salva Kiir and president of ABMC construction company which is accused of massive corruption and slave labor. HRC pushed for a waiver from the Obama Administration on the prohibition of military aid due to the use of child soldiers. In other words, HRC's State Department said they're okay with South Sudan using child soldiers... why? Because ABMC donated to the Clinton Foundation. 

 

How about #1 on the list? That guy? He's a kidney doctor who runs a human organ harvesting network out of Pakistan. I have a lot to say about this !@#$wad, but he does not have a direct link to the CF, Clintons, or Obama - but there IS a connection I'll dig into at a later date. 

 

(I've run out of time this morning. There are more names to go through. I'll come back)

 

Summary: Because I'm out of time I'll wrap this up by pointing out several key facts. This order is a shot across the bow of the Clintons and Obamas. It also lays the groundwork to deal swiftly with any corruption found inside the government ... and we know there are right now 22 active investigations into corruption by the DOJ. 22! 

 

And Eric Schmidtt of Google resigned immediately after this order went public. Coincidence? Nah... 

 

So mad I ran out of time on this post... hope it's illuminating regardless.

Speaking of that Executive Order, it's important to understand in context of what coming our way. I contend that this EO will wind up being one of the most historically important EO's of 45's term.

 

We haven't really broken it down in detail before. Let's change that: 

 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

 

This is an EO designed to confiscate the property of those people involved in serious human right's abuses and corruption. First notice the language used declares a state of emergency is already in place. This means that 45 can exert incredible powers at this time, including instituting Martial Law if needed. 

 

 

Linking human rights abuse with corruption isn't unheard of, but it's seemingly an odd combination for this EO at first blush. Notice both human rights abuse and corruption are viewed as an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to national security, foreign policy and the economy of the United States. 

 

Now, we get into the order itself: 

 

 

This is all pretty standard so far, stuff we've seen before. It's laying out how they can now seize the assets of any person on the attached list (which we will get to) or any foreign person who does business with them. 

 

Where it gets REALLY interesting is here in (iii):

 

 

Notice, this gives the SecTreasury and AG the power to seize the assets of Americans who do business with any of the names on the list (again, we'll get to the names) OR any American who violates these terms from section (ii):

 

 

Hmm... does anything stand out to you on that list in terms of US government officials? Or about what might be coming out in the memo or the DOJ IG report? It's a blanket order to seize the assets of those AMERICANS IN PUBLIC OFFICE (and the private sector) who engage in "misappropriation of state assets/corruption related to government contracts". 

 

Remember what's been found on Hillary's servers so far: SAPs. Those are some of the most prized and classified programs in the USIC and there were dozens of SAPs found on both Weiner's laptop and Hillary's servers which we KNOW were breached by MULTIPLE state actors. Meaning, she exposed SAP programs to foreign actors... That's just one example of how the language in this order can be turned on the Clintons or their team.

 

This gives 45 incredible power to directly deal with corruption inside the government without having to go through the court system where friendly/bribed judges could stymie the effort. 

 

Now, keeping all this in mind. Let's look at the names targeted by this order: 

 

This is a rogue's gallery of bad actors. Known arms dealers, human traffickers, and genocidal madmen. But... if you do a little digging, what do you discover about almost every name on that list?

If it doesn't get released, by the way, I agree with you. 

 

Just adding this to the last sentiment: if the memo does come out, remember despite whatever it says that it's only the start. Not the finish line. 

 

The DOJ IG report is going to be much more massive in scope.

Everybody, grab some goodies and watch this. Thanks Rhino.

Wouldn't someone in the Democrat party tell all the powers that be in the US in 2016 that if we do all this it could come back to bite us in the butt?

 

These same corrupt morons are the ones who claim Trump is this, this and that, so wouldn't have they been smart enough to let Trump be treasonous on his own if they were so worried about Hillary not being President and Trump being elected President?

 

The dopey criminal Dems should have left it alone, now they all could face a very heavy price.

Absolutely. I'd throw Flynn in there as well. What they have done, what Flynn has sacrificed, has left me in awe of them the more I've studied and talked to men and women who served under both. This has been a Military Intelligence operation, one of the most brilliant counter-intel stings in IC history. 

 

One thing to remember too... Rogers is about to step down from the NSA. When he does, he will be freed from his NDAs and allowed to testify/spill the beans to the public about what's gone down.

Re: Chuck's tweet - the released FISA memo from April has been referenced several times here by me and in other threads. One important thing to look at now, in hindsight, is WHY did DNI Coats make this memo available to the public back in April? 

 

https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf

 

This all has been planned for YEARS, people. There's no other reason to release this document unless it's to set the table for what's to come. And what has come since April - the texts, the FISA abuse, etc - are clarified and elevated when analyzed in conjunction with this memo. 

 

That wasn't a coincidence or accident. These guys know what they're doing.

It does indeed.  

 

Think of the hubris. They were so confident she would win, and none of this would see the light of day, they openly communicated their plots on burner phones and secret servers despite knowing that NSA (and MI) have eyes and ears everywhere. Then, when she lost, they were forced to go all in on a coup attempt just to keep their asses from being exposed - and in the process they only dug their grave deeper. 

 

The books that will be written about this period of history are going to be epic.
