Breitbart News published the following report on June 14, 2016. We are re-publishing it now to provide context amid national media controversy surrounding presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comment that President Obama “founded ISIS.”
[h=2]WASHINGTON, DC — Hillary Clinton received a classified intelligence report stating that the Obama administration was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that became the Islamic State.[/h]The memo made clear that Al Qaeda in Iraq was speaking through Muhammad Al Adnani, who is now the senior spokesman for the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. Western and Gulf states were supporting the terrorist group to try to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad, who was being propped up by the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese.

​

In August 2012, a “SECRET” classified memo was sent to various top Obama administration officials and agencies, including to the State Department and to Clinton’s office personally.
“The document is an IAR, an intelligence information report,” said Christopher J. Farrell, who serves on the board of directors of Judicial Watch, which obtained the document. “It is produced by somebody within the Defense intelligence agency (DIA). It is reporting from the field by an intelligence agent” who could be a U.S. government agent, a defense attaché, or a source.
“It’s a report from the field back to headquarters with some intelligence that somebody is willing to bet their career on,” Farrell said.
Farrell confirmed that the report was sent to Clinton’s office, based on the recipient marking “RUEHC/SECSTATE WASHINGTON DC.”
The report identifies Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) as being one of the principal elements of the Syrian opposition, which the West was choosing to “support.”

THE GENERAL SITUATION:
A. INTERNALLY, EVENTS ARE TAKING A CLEAR SECTARIAN DIRECTION.
B. THE SALAFIST, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, AND AQI ARE THE MAJOR FORCES DRIVING THE INSURGENCY IN SYRIA.
C. THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY SUPPORT THE OPPOSITION; WHILE RUSSIA, CHINA, AND IRAN SUPPORT THE REGIME.
​

The intelligence report contains an extensive backgrounder on AQI and its methods and capabilities, noting that AQI was speaking through the spokesman of the Islamic State of Iraq Muhammad Al Adnani.
Al Adnani is now the chief spokesman for the current version of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS.
According to the report:

AL QAEDA – IRAQ (AQI):
A. AQI IS FAMILIAR WITH SYRIA. AQI TRAINED IN SYRIA AND THEN INFILTRATED INTO IRAQ.
B. AQI SUPPORTED THE SYRIAN OPPOSITION FROM THE BEGINNING, BOTH IDEOLOGICALLY AND THROUGH THE MEDIA. AQI DECLARED ITS OPPOSITION OF ASSAD’S GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT CONSIDERED IT A SECTARIAN REGIME TARGETING SUNNIS.
C. AQI CONDUCTED A NUMBER OF OPERATIONS IN SEVERAL SYRIAN CITIES UNDER THE NAME OF JAISH AL NUSRA (VICTORIOUS ARMY), ONE OF ITS AFFILIATES.
D. AQI, THROUGH THE SPOKESMAN OF THE ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ (ISI) ABU MUHAMMAD AL ADNANI, DECLARED THE SYRIAN REGIME AS THE SPEARHEAD OF WHAT HE IS NAMING JIBHA AL RUWAFDH (FOREFRONT OF THE SHIITES) BECAUSE OF ITS (THE SYRIAN REGIME) DECLARATION OF WAR ON THE SUNNIS. ADDITIONALLY, HE IS CALLING ON THE SUNNIS IN IRAQ, ESPECIALLY THE TRIBES IN THE BORDER REGIONS (BETWEEN IRAQ AND SYRIA), TO WAGE WAR AGAINST THE SYRIAN REGIME, REGARDING SYRIA AS AN INFIDEL REGIME FOR ITS SUPPORT TO THE INFIDEL PARTY HEZBOLLAH, AND OTHER REGIMES HE CONSIDERS DISSENTERS LIKE IRAN AND IRAQ.
E. AQI CONSIDERS THE SUNNI ISSUE IN IRAQ TO BE FATEFULLY CONNECTED TO THE SUNNI ARABS AND MUSLIMS.
​

The intelligence report also predicts the rise of a broad “Islamic State” forming from segments of Al Adnani’s group:

THIS CREATES THE IDEAL ATMOSPHERE FOR AQI TO RETURN TO ITS OLD POCKETS IN MOSUL AND RAMADI, AND WILL PROVIDE A RENEWED MOMENTUM UNDER THE PRESUMPTION OF UNIFYING THE JIHAD AMONG SUNNI IRAQ AND SYRIA, AND THE REST OF THE SUNNIS IN THE ARAB WORLD AGAINST WHAT IT CONSIDERS ONE ENEMY, THE DISSENTERS. ISI COULD ALSO DECLARE AN ISLAMIC STATE THROUGH ITS UNION WITH OTHER TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN IRAQ AND SYRIA, WHICH WILL CREATE GRAVE DANGER IN REGARDS TO UNIFYING IRAQ AND THE PROTECTION OF ITS TERRITORY.
​

“AQI HAD MAJOR POCKETS AND BASES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER TO FACILITATE THE FLOW OF MATERIEL AND RECRUITS,” the report states.
“THERE WAS A REGRESSION OF AQI IN THE WESTERN PROVINCES OF IRAQ DURING THE YEARS OF 2009 AND 2010; HOWEVER, AFTER THE RISE OF THE INSURGENCY IN SYRIA, THE RELIGIOUS AND TRIBAL POWERS IN THE REGIONS BEGAN TO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE SECTARIAN UPRISING. THIS (SYMPATHY) APPEARED IN FRIDAY PRAYER SERMONS, WHICH CALLED FOR VOLUNTEERS TO SUPPORT THE SUNNI’S IN SYRIA,” the report continues.
“IN PREVIOUS YEARS A MAJORITY OF AQI FIGHTERS ENTERED IRAQ PRIMARILY VIA THE SYRIAN BORDER.”
Al Adnani was named by the State Department as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” in 2014.
The Clinton campaign did not immediately return a request for comment on this report.

Russ, the sooner we accept the fact that the current administration is corrupt from top to bottom the sooner the heartburn will subside. You and I have zero control of how the government works on the national level. Best we can do is try and effect what happens on a State and local level.

That never crossed my mind. I’ll chalk it up to subliminal messaging I suppose.

Not bad. Not bad at all.


Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton released her tax returns on Friday, showing that she and her husband Bill made $10.6 million in 2015, after taxes.

[SIZE=+7]DOJ BLOCKED CLINTON FOUNDATION PROBE[/SIZE]

Fuck the DOJ! New York state is taking matters into their own hands.


Multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation, according to a former senior law enforcement official.


The investigation centers on New York City where the Clinton Foundation has its main offices, according to the former official who has direct knowledge of the activities.


Prosecutorial support will come from various U.S. Attorneys Offices — a major departure from other centralized FBI investigations.


The New York-based probe is being led by Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Bharara’s prosecutorial aggressiveness has resulted in a large number of convictions of banks, hedge funds and Wall Street insiders.


The official said involvement of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York “would be seen by agents as a positive development as prosecutors there are generally thought to be more aggressive than the career lawyers within the DOJ.”

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton admits she has an issue with likability and trust, but says’s she’s optimistic that, if elected president, Americans will learn to love her.


The check’s in the mail.

[h=6]- AUGUST 12, 2016 -[/h][h=1]TRUMP CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON HILLARY CLINTON’S TAXES[/h]"Hillary Clinton has turned over the only records nobody wants to see from her – the American public wants to see the 33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an FBI investigation. We want to see the Clinton Foundation records showing how the Clintons sold our uranium to Russia, ripped off Haiti and cut deals with oppressive regimes around the world. We want to see the pay-for-play emails that Clinton’s Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills, refuses to turn over. We want to see the transcripts of the secret Wall Street speeches Clinton was paid $10,000 dollars-a-minute to give. We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn't send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun.

Hillary Clinton is at the center of an international corruption scandal that reveals her use of government authority and influence for personal gain. The records we need to see are those being hidden, deleted, obstructed and stashed away by Hillary Clinton to keep authorities from untangling this corrupt scheme that reaches into the world's shady corridors of power. Everything she doesn't want us to see has been digitally shredded or put under lock and key. This document release is nothing more than an attempt at distraction and misdirection by an individual who created and then purged an illegal private email server."

HRC released her tax records...income $10 million. Claims 10% charitable contributions. 96% of their charity donations went to their own foundation! The Clinton's claim they gave $1.2 million to "charity." It was all tax deductible. It went to THEIR Clinton Foundation to pay Chelsea's salary. Pure fraud.

Now they want Trump to release his tax records. He is under audit and it is against the law to release them under those circumstances. He has released other financial information that tells much more than what can be found on a tax record. The Clinton Foundation has had to amend tax records. Why don't they release financial information regarding their Foundation. They are so charitable that they gave $1.2 mill to themselves LOL. She wants him to release tax info but it was just fine for her to not release and to destroy emails. Hypocrite to the core.

Most of the ruling political class is filthy rich. What does that tell you?

[h=1]ICYMI: CLINTON’S NEWEST EMPTY JOBS PROMISE[/h]Please read the following excerpts from “Why would anyone believe Hillary’s promise of 10 million jobs?” by The New York Post’s Editorial Board, 8/14/16

---

Hillary Clinton was scheduled to lay out her economic plans Thursday but instead spent much of her time bashing Donald Trump — and offering little of anything new.
No wonder: She has so little to offer, at least when it comes to jobs.
…
Clinton did repeat her claim Thursday that her economic plan would create 10.4 million jobs by 2026. She has said 640,000 of these will be in New York.
Ha! New Yorkers are still waiting for the 200,000 jobs she promised for upstate back in 2000, when she was running for the Senate.
Anyone who buys her new promises probably also believes she had no classified e-mails on her home-brewed server.
…
It doesn’t account for the cost of her programs. A Tax Foundation analysis of the net impact says Clinton’s plan would actually shrink the economy 1 percent and produce 0.8 percent lower wages — and 311,000 fewer jobs.
What do you expect? All told, Hillary’s tax hikes would suck $1.3 trillion from taxpayers’ pockets. How on earth is that supposed to create jobs?
And Clinton herself doesn’t pretend any new jobs on her watch would be true, private-sector-generated jobs.
…
Fact is, she’s really more interested in growing government than jobs. Which is too bad: With years of weak wage growth and record numbers of people out of the labor market, polls show Americans rank job-creation among their top priorities.
Yet all Hillary can do is make more of the same empty promises she’s already broken.

Hillary and Bill Clinton funneled 96 percent of their charitable donations to their own family foundation, according to the Democratic nominee’s 2015 tax returns.
Last year, $1 million of the total $1,042,000 that the Clintons deducted in charitable contributions went to the Clinton Family Foundation, the Daily Caller reportedFriday.
The tax return showed that the other $42,000 in contributions went to Desert Classic Charities, a nonprofit that organizes an annual charity golf tournament. The organization then in turn contributed $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation. A foundation adviser and longtime Bill Clinton assistant, Doug Band, was on the organization’s board of directors through 2014, according to IRSfilings.
The Clintons earned in total more than $10.5 million in 2015, primarily from paid speeches. Less than 10 percent of their total income went to charity.
Clinton released her tax returns Friday as pressure builds on Donald Trump to follow suit. The Republican nominee has argued that he cannot release his returns because he is being audited by the IRS.
An IRS official told the Washington Post in April that there was no reason Trump could not release his tax returns prior to 2009.

[h=1]Clinton Supports Imposing Death Tax on Americans While Avoiding It Herself[/h][h=2]As a senator, Clinton voted against repealing the Death Tax[/h]SHARE

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has long supported a death tax but new reports find that she doesn’t want to pay for it herself.
“To reduce the tax pinch, the Clintons are using financial planning strategies benefitting the top 1 percent of U.S. households in wealth,” Bloomberg reports. “These moves, common among multimillionaires, will help shield some of their estate from the tax that now tops out at 50 percent of assets upon death.”
According to financial disclosures, Clinton shifted the ownership of their New York house to residence trusts in 2011, which could save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in estate taxes.
“The goal is really be thoughtful and try to build up the nontaxable estate, and that’s really what this is,” says David Scott Sloan, a partner at Holland & Knight LLP. “You’re creating things that are going to be on the nontaxable side of the balance sheet when they die.”
Clinton has said that “the estate tax has been historically part of our very fundamental believe that we should have a meritocracy,” Americans for Tax Reform reported. “While Clinton is all too happy to use tax avoidance mechanisms, as a senator she voted against repealing the Death Tax and even voted against giving small businesses and families a higher level of Death Tax exemption.”
