Let's take a closer look at this: 

 

And to get a sense of what prompted this, read this article and be sure to watch the Nunes interview linked in it: 

https://saraacarter.com/nunes-congress-to-hold-ag-sessions-in-contempt/

 

So, Nunes found something damning that is classified and wants it released. The White House and Sessions denied the request, prompting the letter above. The DOJ is refusing to name a specific individual - in a classified matter - because it would bring severe consequences, "including potential loss of human lives, damage to relationships with valued international partners, compromise of ongoing criminal investigations, and interference with intelligence activities." Naming one individual could do all that? 

 

Well, it could if that individual was this man: 

 

 

Remember him? FISC Judge Contreras - who was originally assigned Flynn's case and then removed without comment. Contreras is also close personal friends with both Peter Strzok (as we learned in the texts) and has a 20 year friendship with Eric Holder. Remember, we learned from leaked (not released) text messages that Page was pressuring Strzok to meet with his good friend Judge Contreras during the election...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/texts-show-judge-who-recused-himself-in-flynn-case-was-friendly-with-fbi-agent-involved-in-probe/2018/03/16/3b3736f2-293d-11e8-b79d-f3d931db7f68_story.html?utm_term=.68324e14b7bf

 

What happens if it's revealed that Contreras was a part of the palace coup, rather than just a duped judge whom the FBI CID lied to in order to secure a FISA?

 

 

Chaos. 

 

It would immediately call into question every case Contreras presided over, as well as every active (legit) FISA warrant and ongoing investigation. It could, quite literally, end the FISC overnight - and in turn put our IC in a compromised position, and expose the nation to grave danger. This is a bombshell that must be diffused before it's released to the public. Which brings us full circle to the "process" we find ourselves in today. 

 

This is why much of the evidence of this coup attempt needed to be slow walked out over the past several months. It cannot simply be exposed all at once and eliminated because the the corruption is so insidious and so deep that it's become destabalizing to undue.

 

That's quite a feat. 

 

More to come...

I read there that he never paid the tree $130,000 to fall silently.

 

CNN's going to do a 4-part series on the tree next week, the tree is scheduled to be on SNL next month, and Mueller is looking into whether or not the tree met with a Russian birch in Prague last year.

Hopefully Rudy G will run around saying Trump fell out of the tree, even though there was no tree and the tree is now very fine and we should visit it. Rudy will then deny saying the tree does not exist even though he has never seen it. Sarah Sanders will say the tree is a tree and always was a tree and Trump was never in the tree and the President didn't know the facts when he tweeted the tree was on fire.

 For the life of me, I cannot reconcile OIG Horowitz's involvement in this with his role as an internal watchdog of a specific Federal Agency in DC... unless it was the nature of what was being used as blackmail leverage being directly tied to other, ongoing investigations which necessarily would have crossed his desk because of their ties to the ongoing palace coup attempt, and what those at the top were/are attempting to hide their involvement in.  (think KSA, DPRK, NXIUM, Epstein)

 

Other than that, I can't reason through what the OIG of DOJ is doing investigating a small potatoes fraud ring operating out of NY City.

EXACTLY why I'm digging in deeper to figure this one out. It's strange... but your theory is where my mind went first. 

 

Add a followup to the above, in the indictment there is an INDIVIDUAL A named 19 times. Everyone else is named. My guess is whoever Individual A is works for DOJ.

The defendants are known "gypsy psychic frauds" in the NYC area, too.  

 

Just adding that for the weirdness factor...of course the OIG would be investigating NYC gypsy psychics.  Maybe McCabe went to them to try to get psychic evidence against Trump...?

Long post incoming... 

 

TOPIC: What is HAKLUYT and how do they factor in to the Russian Collusion Narrative? 

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

What follows is a combination of my own research and that of several active and former intelligence officers from both the US and the UK. It's an excerpt from a larger piece, and I think it shines a light under some rocks that have yet to be overturned and examined by many. This might be too in the weeds for some, but it's really crucial to understand. If nothing else, this examination shows just how small the intelligence and political circles are on both sides of the pond, and how they can be weaponized to do political damage.

 

Over the course of the past year we have seen various data points and timelines shift after "breaking news" forced admissions by both the DOJ and Trump's team. Perhaps the most important, and contentious, of these data points is exactly when the FBI Counter-Intelligence Division began its investigation into the possible collusion of Trump's campaign and Russian intelligence services. We were first told by the FBI-CID that their investigation began with Carter Page in October of '16, and was so secretive they did not inform Congress for fear of it leaking. Months later, after the HPSCI began questioning Andrew McCabe and others inside the FBI, the DOJ changed their story. The investigation really began in June 2016 after former Australian minister Alexander Downer had a conversation with Trump campaign member George Papadopoulos. 

 

Much of the focus since that time has been on when the investigation started, rather than into how the meeting between Downer and Papadopoulos came together. I have devoted numerous posts to that issue because it's important and reveals the true motive for the FISA abuses uncovered months later. I have long contended that the FBI-CID investigation into Trump began as a result of various bad actors inside the CID needing to cover their asses after Admiral Mike Rogers shut down the 702 about query loop hole in April of 2016. This still holds true today. But when I started examining the origin of the Downer/Papadopoulos meeting, and Downer's connections to the intelligence community, something unexpected jumped out, begging for more digging.

 

That something was a private British intelligence firm called HAKLUYT and the role it played in the Steele Dossier and the FBI-CID investigation into Trump's campaign. Keep in mind the situation in June of 2016 before we dive in fully. The FBI-CID had been caught by Admiral Rogers abusing the 702 about query system (they were allowing contractors to access NSA data on American citizens without a warrant or oversight since at least 2015 prior to Rogers' action), and now they needed to justify to the FISC why they needed FISA warrants and surveillance on Trump team members. They needed probable cause and time was of the essence. 

 

Enter Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS. Simpson's firm was hired just days after Admiral Rogers shut off the program, in June of 2016. Just days before Papadopoulos and Downer had their chat in the Kensington Wine Rooms. The topic of that conversation was Cypriot Joseph Mifsud (the "professor") and Hillary's missing emails. According to McCabe, it was this conversation - a conversation Downer initiated himself - that launched the FBI-CID's investigation into Trump Russian Collusion. Of course, even the New York Times concedes that Downer may have been fishing for dirt all along: 





 



 

Who is Alexander Downer?

 



 

·       Hakluyt Advisory Board member ’08-’14, shareholder and still attending corporate meetings as recently as late 2015

·       Secured $25m for Clinton Foundation while serving as Australian Foreign Minister from 1996-2007

·       UN Envoy to Misfud’s native Cyprus ’08-14

 









 

Starting in late April, again right after Admiral Rogers shut down the 702 spigot, there was an uptick in these sorts of conversations. Conversations initiated by outsiders reaching out to Trump campaign members and specifically looking to gossip about Russia and/or Hillary’s emails. And as was the case with Downer, who has direct ties and loyalties to the Clintons, many of these "outsiders" trying to initiate conversations had ties to a company called Hakluyt. A company that also has deep Clinton ties.

 

Who, or what, is Hakluyt?



·       A private corporate spy/intel firm

·       Founded in 1995 by ex-MI6 officers

·       Set up with the blessing of the then head of MI6

·       Clients world wide

·       Very secretive and small, only 72 staff

·       HQ in very expensive part of London, US offices in NYC

 

The name Hakluyt is derived from British writer and explorer Richard Hakluyt (1553-1616), who promoted the colonization of North American and published detailed cartographical maps of “NOVS ORBIS” (Latin for New World). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hakluyt

 

When Christopher Steele left MI6 and set up his own private intel firm – the same firm Fusion GPS contracted to dig up opposition research on Trump in June of 2016 – he named it ORBIS Business Intelligence Ltd.

 



This is either a huge coincidence or he too was similarly influenced by Hakluyt.

 

The real life inspiration for James Bond was one of Hakluyt’s three original founders, Fitzroy Maclean.



 

The other two founders were Christopher James and Mike Reynolds. Both were longtime undercover senior MI6 officers and well connected in the political and spying world.

 

Christopher James



 

·       MI6 1975-1998 (ran MI6 “business liaison”)

·       Founder and ran Hakluyt from 1998-2006

·       One of James’ first clinets was Mach Mclarty – former WH chief of staff to “oldest friend” Bill Clinton and childhood friend of Hillary’s.

 





 

Mike Reynolds

 



 

·       Set up MI6’s counter-terrorism branch

·       MI6 head of station in Berlin

·       Founder and director at Hakluyt from 1998-2004

·       Apparently a “close friend” of Sir Richard Dearlove – former head of MI6 and former boss of Chris Steele. Dearlove vouched publicly for Steele’s credibility during the dossier hoopla

 

Hakluyt’s links to British intel extend beyond MI6. The day after Trump announced his candidacy in June of ’15, Hakluyt created a mutual firm: Hakluyt Cyber Ltd. The two initial hires to the board were GCHQ veterans, including the former director.

 





 

Hakluyt also has contacts high up in the British government. In recent years high level staff have been seen dining with Sir Jeremy Heywood (Cabinet Secretary, the top civil servant) and meeting with the then National Security Advisor Kim Darroch.

 



 

As we can see, Hakluyt is well connected to British intelligence and the political establishment. But there's even similarities when compared to Fusion GPS:

 

1.       Their formation and the secrecy revolving around it.

2.       Produced intel in a similar way to Steele’s dossier for former clients.

3.       Possible corrupt ties to various media outlets.

4.       The boost in money they received during the ’16 election.

 

An early Hakluyt director, and member of the media for eight years, Michael Maclay said in 2001:



 

In 2000, founder Mike Reynolds and Hakluyt were paid to dig up dirt against a client’s corporate rivals. One of them were based in the Czech Republic. Hakluyt produced a document of bullet points with grave allegations including corruption and murder. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2002/B2.html

 



 



 



 

To add authenticity – just like Steele did for his own dossier 16 years later – the allegations were filtered through a UK ambassador (to Prague). But in a twist, the target sued Hakluyt’s client for defamation in the high court.

 

Nobody showed to defend the claim, so the judge presumed them to be untrue.

 



 

What about Hakluyt’s ties to journalists?

 

·       Targeted journalists as sources (paying them)

·       Recruited journalists onto the payroll

·       A Hakluyt leader even impersonated a journalist and spread fake stories.

 

Hakluyt tried to recruit Australian health journalist Melissa Sweet in 2008. The recruiter even admitted in an email that many other journalists were already acting as confidential (and possibly paid) go-betweens for Hakluyt. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:eyP4debCrDIJ:https://www.crikey.com.au/2008/07/31/turning-journalists-into-spooks/

 



 



 

As well as Maclay, Hakluyt recruited Mark Huband, a hard left wing security/intel correspondent for the Financial Times (and the Guardian) and had him on staff from 2005-2008.

https://www.intelligenceonline.com/business-intelligence-and-lobbying/2006/07/07/from-the-financial-times-to-hakluyt,20693001-bre

 

Huband later set up his own Hakluyt style firm: http://www.markhuband.com/mark-huband-professional-life/

 

Keith Craig was Hakluyt’s CEO from 2002-2016. Craig’s an ex MI6 undercover officer who in 1994 posed as a journalist in Bosnia, writing fake stories under a fake name in the UK’s prestigious and longest running magazine The Spectator.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/jun/12/pressandpublishing.mondaymediasection

 



 



 



 

That gives us a brief overview of Hakluyt's leadership and their connections to the world of politics, intelligence, and media. It's striking how similar in creation, and execution Hakluyt and Fusion GPS are, and how easily it would be for them to work together - with Steele - on oppo research.

 

But Downer is not the only Hakluyt linked person who reached out to team Trump, there was also Dr. Stefan Halper.

 

Dr. Stefan Halper



 

·       Cambridge Fellow

·       Set up “Cambridge Intelligence Forum” with Sir Richard Dearlove – but quit due to “Russian influence” https://www.ft.com/content/d43cd586-c396-11e6-9bca-2b93a6856354

·       CIA Father in Law (Ray Kline)

·       Various roles at White House and the DOJ

·       Loudly supported Hillary in 2016 https://sputniknews.com/politics/201611031047032702-clinton-us-uk-cooperation/



 



 



Like Downer, Halper initiated a London meeting with Papadopoulos, picking up his flight and hotel expenses, meeting at the up-market Connaught and paying him $3k for a never published energy paper. Halper was first to mention Clinton Emails: http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/25/george-papadopoulos-london-emails/

 





 

 

Halper also has strong ties to Hakluyt:

 

·       Co-wrote a book (America Alone) with Jonathan Clarke, a Hakluyt Director of US operations

·       Used other Hakluyt directors as book sources, including Sir Robin Renwick

·       Shared academic panel with Downer http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/26739

 



 



 



 

Why did Halper pick the Connaught Hotel to try and establish a client/financial relationship with Papadopoulos?

 

Well, it’s only a five minute walk from Hakluyt’s HQ.

 



 



 

It’s literally around the corner.

 



 

Must be a coincidence!

 

Hapler didn’t stop at Papadopoulos. He also invited Carter Page to a seminar in London in July of ’16, which Page attended.

 

Who else was there? Oh, only Sir Richard Dearlove, Steele’s MI6 boss.

 

Nothing to see here!





 

Sir Robin Renwick, a source for Halper’s book, was also a long time director at Hakluyt and was replaced by Downer in 2008. That’s how pervasive these connections are and how small this intel world is.

 

Renwick is also connected to Dearlove and Joseph Mifsud!

 

Sir Robin Renwick



 

·       UK Ambassador to South Africa 1987-1991

·       UK Ambassador to USA 1991-1995 (Sir Richard Dearlove was head of DC station at the same time, based in the same building)

·       Hakluyt Advisory Board Director and Banker 2000-2008

·       Lord for Kensington, London until 2018

 

While Renwick was a UK ambassador to South Africa, an undercover MI6 officer, Charles Crawford, worked in his embassy. Crawford now teaches at the London Academy of Diplomacy (LAD) with Joseph Mifsud – the "professor" who Papadopoulos told Downer had offered him Clinton’s emails.







Crawford, a visiting professor at LAD, has given seminars called “Dealing with the Media” alongside Mifsud and Gianni Pittella. http://archive.li/V8AAy

 

Pittella, a socialist European politician, spoke at the 2016 DNC convention, calling Trump a virus. https://archive.is/4jyO1#selection-1701.0-1701.127









 

 

 

Crawford can also speak Russian, and may have been posted to Moscow during Steele’s final year there in 1993. Does Crawford personally know Steele? Because he definitely knows and works with Mifsud. But I’m sure that’s just another coincidence.

 





 

To quote a federal judge, COME ON, MAN!

 

All of these people know each other, they all initiate conversations with Trump’s team and they all have long standing links to both the US and British IC as well as politicians on both sides of the pond? Is the intel/political/media world really that small that it's just happenstance?

 

Or was there coordination? 

 

Almost all the conversations happened within a few square kilometers of each other in a small part of London. What are the chances of these "unconnected" people all wanting to initiate conversations about the same topic - Russia and Clinton emails - with Carter Page and George Papadopoulos all in the same place? I say slim to none and none just walked out the door...

 

None of this proves anything nefarious about Hakluyt on its own of course. But when you have this many coincidences, all at the same time and all are huge blows to one campaign, it raises suspicions. 

 

Then there’s the money of it all...



 

How did anyone found out Hillary and the DNC were paying Fusion GPS? Through bank records. Well, when you dig into Hakluyt, there are about ten million reasons to take a closer look. During the height of the presidential campaign, starting the very same time Admiral Rogers shut down the 702 spigot, at the very same time that Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, Hakluyt had a huge spike in income - and there's reason to think its origins are US based.

 

According to financial statements filed in London, Hakluyt’s controlling company had a massive 22% (10m) increase in revenue during key periods of the campaign (June 16-17, 46-56m pounds). This compares to just 3.1% the year before. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03481321/filing-history

 





 

The filings also imply significant inflows from the USA. There is a unique increase in revenue due to currency translation. Given the EU Brexit vote of June 16 resulted in a large fall in the pound/dollar exchange rate, this suggests US clients were likely paying millions of dollars to Hakluyt beginning in the crucial month of June ’16.

 

Ain't that a coincidence? 



 



 

 

Anyone else curious to learn more?

It’s worth noting again that DOJ deliberately leaked to the Washington Post specific biographical and professional information that could publicly identify and endanger its “top secret” source while pretending it wanted only to protect the source.

Let's hear from Rep. Schiff.

[Deranged Rhino]

Here we go... now the fun is going to start. 

 

[Deranged Rhino]

https://www.wsj.com/articles/about-that-fbi-source-1525992611

 

Now we're moving from speculation about plants inside to the campaign, to confirmation... so who are the most likely suspects? Here's my list: 

 

1. Dr. Stefan Halpner

 

-Covered in depth in the Hakluyt post. Ticks all of the boxes of what we know of the "spy". He wasn't a campaign member, but he met with all the "controversial" members including: Flynn, Papadapoulos, Page, and Manafort -  and he has been interviewed by Mueller's team. 

- Brennan went to London and met with (redacted) before he began pushing the dossier. It's likely he met with Hakluyt, and possible it was through them that Halpner became a cut-out for the operation.

- If it's Halpner (and make no mistake, he played a role in this), that ties in MI6, Hakluyt, Russia, the FBI CID and CIA all working together to rig our election. Think about the ramifications of this revelation, this is bigger than any of the allegations of Trump/Russia collusion. This is active collusion with two government intelligence services...

 

2. Carter Page

 

- Has a history of working with the FBI as an undercover informant before, in fact was held in high regard by the FBI right up until they named him as a foreign agent and got the FISA in October of '16. 

- Former ONI, fluent in Russian, and much smarter/more capable than he comes off on TV (which is schtick). 

- He's still walking around free, despite having a Title I warrant on him. 

- Used to work for the Clintons

 

3. George Papadapoulos

 

- Strongest evidence is the sealed court hearing after his arrest where he was (likely) given a wire to wear while being ordered to remain away from any Trump members. Which begs the question, who was he wearing a wire for?

- Strong connections to Manafort and the Clinton camp. 

 

Other possibilities, but less likely:

 

Paul Manafort

 

- Based on his legal fight, it's unlikely Manafort was an FBI plant. It's been my contention (and I still hold to it) that he was a Podesta/Clinton plant. This approach would make sense, they'd have multiple moles/spies from multiple places to provide redundancy and reliability on the witness stand. 

 

Rick Gates

 

- Same as Paul, Gates is a likely plant though not from the FBI-CID or CIA. 

 

Good breakdown of Halpner as the spy:

Page weighs in - says it's not him... hints that it's Halpner (and he would know, he met with Halpner):

We saw, for example, how in depth the OIG report on McCabe was (40+ pages) - and that was just a one-off. The upcoming report(s) are over 1.2 million pages and will cover a ton of ground.

Probably 98% redacted.

I think some will definitely be redacted - especially some of the more explosive, international elements - but I think there will be enough unredacted to make the point. If not, expect 45 to use his powers to declassify a ton of it. 

 

What we are uncovering is a coup attempt that allied with foreign intelligence services, including the UK and Russia, and exploited the USIC's most invasive tools of surveillance. That's the kind of thing where examples need to be made, high up examples, otherwise it's just going to happen again and again. I know people scoff at the notion of someone as high up as Comey, Lynch, Holder, or Brennan being held accountable (and they might be right), but someone high up (or multiple higher ups) need to be made an extreme example to assure this never happens again. 

 

Whoever gets a pass in terms of public prosecution or indictments, I suspect, will be meeting an untimely end in an 'accident'. 

 

There will be a heavy price paid by the conspirators. I can almost guarantee it.
