Eileen Wellstone, Winthrop Rockefeller, Webster Hubbell

I’ve found an interesting book about the crimes of the Clintons – Roger Stone & Robert Morrow – The Clintons’ War on women (2015): https://www.scribd.com/doc/289181307/The-Clintons-War-on-Women
It is an interesting collection of stories about the Clintons, but it certainly isn’t complete. I have taken the most interesting parts from the book to add to this thread.

EILEEN WELLSTONE RAPE (1969)
Before Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick he was expelled from Oxford University, England. Some sources claim that Bill was expelled for raping Eileen Wellstone in 1969. In the following excerpt also information on 2 other early rape incidents (in 1972 and 1974).

Indeed, Clinton is one of the few Rhodes Scholars without a degree from Oxford. That is because at age twenty-three, Clinton was expelled from the oldest university in the English-speaking world for sexually assaulting a nineteen-year-old coed named Eileen Wellstone. Harris and Hampton discovered that Wellstone was assaulted after she “met [Clinton] at a pub near Oxford where the future President was a student in 1969. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim’s family declined to pursue the case.”13

In 1972, a twenty-two-year-old woman told Yale University’s campus police that she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton, and although no charges were filed, a retired policeman confirmed the incident to Capitol Hill Blue. The woman herself was also tracked down and confirmed it, though she elected to stay anonymous.

Next, in 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then law school instructor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference, groping her and forcing his hand inside her blouse. Although she complained to her faculty advisor, who confronted Clinton, the complaint again failed to go anywhere, as Clinton claimed the student ‘’came on’’ to him.

Here’s the link to the story on which this is based; by J. Harris and Teresa Hampton: http://www.albertpeia.com/oxfordassault.htm
This story has been debunked by simply claiming that there isn´t enough evidence.
I have to agree in part: Bill was in Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship and wouldn´t have been expelled for raping some 19-year-old woman.

There’s even a suspicious suicide of his roommate at Oxford - Frank Aller - in 1971 (did he know why Bill Clinton was expelled?):

The novelist Sara Maitland, another undergraduate friend of Clinton's at Oxford, remembers how theory and practice came together for the Americans. 'I remember Bill and Frank Aller taking me to a pub in Walton Street in the summer term of 1969 and talking to me about the Vietnam war. I knew nothing about it, and when Frank began to describe the napalming of civilians I began to cry. Bill said that feeling bad wasn't good enough. That was the first time I encountered the idea that liberal sensitivities weren't enough and you had to do something about such things.'
Aller, also a Rhodes scholar, committed suicide in 1971, possibly for draft-related reasons. Clinton described him in a letter, in December 1969, as 'a draft resister who is possibly under indictment and may never be able to go home again. He is one of the bravest, best men I know.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-inhaling-what-else-did-he-learn-1556769.html
There has got to be more, but I couldn´t find it…

WILLIAM JEFFERSON ROCKEFELLER
After Bill was expelled he simply won a new scholarship for Yale (almost as prestigious as Oxford). Later Bill Clinton had a meteoric career; how could the simple son of Bill Blythe and Virginia Cassidy become one of the most powerful men in the USA? All the more strange because his complete lack of talent. This moron got disbarred for perjury – all lawyers lie.

According to the Stone & Morrow book:

Nine months before August 19, 1946, Bill Blythe was still in Italy. Virginia heard the talk. Her answer was that Billy was born a month early. He had been induced weeks ahead of schedule because she had taken a fall and the doctor was concerned about her condition.
(…)
Gartner found the nurse, Wilma Rowe Booker, who helped deliver Clinton. “I was the first person to spank Bill Clinton’s butt, ha ha … But I wasn’t the last,” Booker said.503 Gartner also found Richard Fenwick, a friend of Bill’s mother, who “held Bill Clinton in the hospital the day he was born".
Bill was not a premature baby according to Booker: “he was a big, pink, healthy-looking full-term baby. There was absolutely no way he was premature.”

This makes it very improbable that Bill was the (biological) son of Blythe.

According to the Stone & Morrow book:

She told Gartner that she knew who Clinton’s real dad was.
Gartner asked her if he might be kin to a Larry Wright who was a school age friend of Clinton and
the son of Dr. George Wright:
“As a matter of fact, it does. Dr. George Wright was Bill Clinton’s father. Everyone in town knew that.”
“Everyone knew? I heard that there were lots of different rumors about a variety of suspected fathers.”
“Oh, no. There were not lots of different rumors. There was one rumor, and it was no rumor. Everyone in Hope knew it was Dr. Wright.”
“How did you know it was Dr. Wright?”
“I had personal knowledge.”
“Personal knowledge?” I asked, trying to imagine what they could possibly be.
“One of Dr. Wright’s best friends told me that Wright said to him: ‘I’m Billy Blythe’s father.’”

I rate this “personal knowledge” as too thin, furthermore having George Wright for a father would still not explain how Bill could become president of the USA. Even before Bill was born (August 19, 1946) Bill Blythe died in a suspicious car accident on May 19, 1946 (is this the first in the Clinton bodycount?).

So I looked on the internet for the probable biological father of poor Bill and found - Winthrop Rockefeller.
Winthrop Rockefeller was the son of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Abby Greene Aldrich, his brothers were John D. III, David, Nelson and Laurence Rockefeller, and he was the grandson of John Davison Rockefeller Sr. (founder of Standard Oil).
Winthrop Rockefeller also went to Yale University, 1931-1934, and was governor of Arkansas from 1967 to 1971: http://inaaronsopinion.blogspot.nl/2005/12/us-president-william-j-rockefeller.html
This not only explains the (otherwise inexplicable) career of this boy from Arkansas but also Hillary Clinton’s pet name for Bill “Jew motherf*cker!”.
Here´s a picture from left to right: Winthrop Rockefeller, Rosalie Williams, Virginia Cassidy (mother), and Bill Blythe (reported father).

Here´s a picture of Bill Clinton and Juanita Broaddrick in 1978; I see some resemblance with Winthrop.

I see even more resemblance between Winthrop and Bill Rockefeller in the following 2 photos.

CHELSEA HUBBELL
I agree with the probable biological father of Chelsea Clinton in the Stone, Morrow book.

Hillary, Hubbell, and Bill had taken the bar exam together in Arkansas four years earlier. “I remember she had frizzy hair and thick, round glasses, and she was wearing jeans and a light blue sweatshirt with the word YALE on the front of it,” Hubbell said. “Under the wild hair and behind the glasses, there was something oddly attractive about her.”480

By 1978, Bill was gearing up for a run at the governorship of Arkansas. Around this time, in a powwow among the Clinton inner circle, Hillary inquired about the then attorney general’s future plans. “Bill, what are you doing?” Hillary asked.
“Hill, I’m gonna run for governor!” Bill answered boisterously.
“Well I gotta get in Rose…. I’m gonna fuck Hubbell,” Hillary replied without missing a beat.
In 1979, Hillary became the first woman to make full partner at Rose.481 The married Hubbell, like Foster, was under the spell of Hillary. “Vince and I were mesmerized by her,” Hubbell said. “She was like nobody we had ever been around before. Bill wasn’t much of a presence in our lives.”

On February 27, 1980, Chelsea Clinton was born. As she grew, she bore none of the distinct features of Bill that Danney Williams had, but curiously many facial similarities to Hubbell.
The genetic giveaway is the protruding large lower lip that both Hubbell and Chelsea possess. Even after going through extensive plastic surgery in her twenties, this feature is still noticeable. The large rubbery Hubbell lips are especially noticeable in pictures of a teenage Chelsea.
In her twenties, Chelsea reportedly had “gotten a nose job and may have also gotten a chin augmentation or implant to give her a stronger jawline,” according to Dr. Jennifer Walden, a Manhattan plastic surgeon. “Chelsea, who wore braces on her teeth during her youth, is now also sporting a less gummy smile and has straightened her naturally curly hair.”482

In Dr. Walden’s estimation, “Clinton also underwent dental work and received Juvederm—a dermal filler—to disguise her ‘gummy’ smile.”483
Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer said that Chelsea has improved over the years and now has a nose that fits her face thanks to her surgeon.
Melrose Larry Green, author of the book Why the Clintons Belong in Prison, was one of the first to point out the strong resemblance between Hubbell and Chelsea.

“I present it to you as rumor, not a fact,” Green wrote. “I am the first to admit that without DNA or blood type analysis, this story must unfortunately be considered an allegation, not a fact. I heard this allegation from many people. According to a woman who has worked for a Republican US Senator for 18 years, the rumor has been around Capitol Hill for years. People who knew and worked with the Clintons in Arkansas have told me they heard the rumor. I am reminded of the maxim: ‘A picture is worth a thousand words.’ Look at the picture of Webb Hubbell in David Brock’s book and judge for yourself.”

Hillary has always been protective of Hubbell. When Clinton was elected president in 1992, Hillary tried to make Bill promise to appoint Hubbell to the U.S. Supreme Court if a vacancy opened. Hillary ordered the newly elected president to give Webb an interim appointment as chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court: “Well goddam it Bill, he’s my friend, you can appoint him by law, so do it!” said Hillary according to L. D. Brown.
After Bill was sworn in, Hillary made sure that Hubbell was placed in the number three spot at the Justice Department. Hubbell himself clearly saw Chelsea as one of his greatest achievements.
“On summer evenings, I could sip a drink in my big living room and look out at children— including the Fosters’ and the Clintons’, when Chelsea got big enough—bouncing happily on a trampoline in the shade of my big oak trees,” Hubbell wrote in his account of the Clintons, Friends in High Places. “Such a scene made me feel successful.”

Bill Clinton told Juanita Broaddrick – after he had raped her – not to worry about a baby because he had a low sperm count. Dolly Kyle the (reported) mistress to Bill Clinton for 3 decades confirmed that Bill never used a condom because he had a low sperm count: https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/tag/chelsea-clintons-biological-father/

In March 1979, Bill told Dolly he wanted a child for political reasons but couldn’t because he’s infertile. Within a year, Chelsea Victoria Clinton was born.
In Edward Klein’s “The Truth about Hillary” (2005), Bill discovered his wife was pregnant by reading it in the ‘Arkansas Gazette’.
Former Clinton aide Larry Nichols claims that Bill once told him he was not the biological father of Chelsea, and that Chelsea’s real father is Webster Hubbell, the former mayor of Little Rock, Arkansas. They were discussing a woman’s claims that Bill is the father of her child. Bill Clinton denied this because the measles had rendered him sterile. His exact words were, “I shoot blanks” he answered who got Hillary pregnant with “Oh, Webb (Hubbell) sired her”: https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2014/06/25/bill-clinton-not-chelseas-biological-father/

The young Chelsea Clinton definitely looked a lot like Webster Hubbell.

A lot of the pictures that show the similarity between Webb and Chelsea Hubbell focus on their similar facial expressions and their really thick lips. I tried to find a photo of a young Webster; this is the best I found (next to Bill Clinton).

Apparently Chelsea had plastic surgery done to make her lips less enormous and her nose less wide, which makes her look less like Hubbell.

President Trump’s first week

How naïve was I to think that Donald Trump is just too dump to be US president?
Since being inaugurated last January 20, Trump has already proven he got what it takes. He has read the speeches that were written for him and above all he signed some very nice executive orders - planned and written by others – while looking very confident.
Just see the confidence after signing the executive order to withdraw from TPP on January 23.

NO AUDIT FOR THE FED
On February 22, 2016 Trump tweeted “It is so important to audit The Federal Reserve” and since then has repeatedly repeated this campaign promise.

No surprise here - Goldman Sachs bankster Steven Mnuchin made clear that the Trump administration will not audit the Fed because “The Federal Reserve is organized with sufficient independence to conduct monetary policy and open market operations. I endorse the increased transparency we have seen from the Federal Reserve Board over recent years”: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ndependence-and-signals-reform-isn-t-priority
Is that the same transparency that I call secretive?!?

QUEEN ELIZABETH REIGNS SUPREME
By his warm friendship with that “terrific guy” Jeffrey Epstein, who specialised in arranging little girls for the sexual perversions of his wealthy friends (including Bill Clinton), Trump made his private jet available for Prince Andrew.
Now that Trump has made it all the way to the oval office he is immediately visited by British Prime Minister Theresa May, that will hand deliver the personal instructions from Queen Elizabeth and Evelyn de Rothschild (the personal financial advisor to the Queen).
Trump’s team is considering a “passporting deal” so that British and American firms can set up and trade in each other’s countries with minimum hurdles. A senior Whitehall source said May hoped to make a trade deal with the USA to strengthen her hand at the Brexit negotiating table. The plans were discussed with Boris Johnson last week.
Donald Trump has also planned a visit to Queen Elizabeth II at Baltimore castle, Scotland this summer. Donald Duck has made clear about his priorities for this visit: he really wants to play golf with the 5 ft 1 (1.55 m) Queen (expected to be 91 years old). This has nothing to do with his love for sports and games, but he wants to better the photos of Ronald Reagan (pictured riding horses side by side with the Queen): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...s-new-deal-britain-theresa-may-becomes-first/

WITHDRAWING FROM TPP
Now that we know that “make America great again” means going all the way back to the colonial times of British oppression, it suddenly isn’t so strange that Donald Trump withdrew from TPP while at the same time planning a trade deal with Great Britain. In this way it makes the position of Britain negotiating the Brexit deal with the EU as strong as possible.
According to Donald Duck this is a really great idea because he will make much better deals (than TPP) using his negotiating skills (kissing the ass – excuse me: I mean shaking the hand – of Elizabeth?).
Trump has promised that he will institute a “very major border tax” to make companies move their factories back to the USA: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/...fic-partnership-tpp-deal-170123170334145.html

TORTURING BY THE CIA REINSTATED IN ALL GLORY
"Do I feel it works? Absolutely, I feel it works" Trump said about torturing.
Trump isn’t just like a parrot that says anything his puppeteers want him to; he really, really understands what he’s talking about because "people at the highest level of intelligence" have told Trump that torture does work. He has said in an interview with ABC "When ISIS is doing things that no one has ever heard of, since medieval times, would I feel strongly about waterboarding? As far as I'm concerned, we have to fight fire with fire". Is Trump talking about the same ISIS that was founded by the US government, while their videos are directed by the CIA and the torturing done by Europeans in medieval times?
Trump further stated "I will rely on Pompeo and Mattis and my group. And if they don't want to do (it), that's fine. And if they do want to do (torture), I will work toward that end".
President Trump issued a three-page draft order - Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants – to undo many of the restrictions on handling detainees that Obama instated: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/25/politics/donald-trump-waterboarding-torture/index.html
Here’s a nice story about the torturing techniques by the CIA: https://news.vice.com/article/senat...ss-effective-and-more-brutal-than-anyone-knew

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Reportedly President Donald Trump is even less popular than Barack Obama. In 2009 a lot of people came to Obama’s inauguration, in 2013 a whole lot less and for Trump even less. Arguably more protesters than fans of Trump came for the show.
Following you can see a comparison of the crowd for this year’s Donald Duck inauguration (left) as compared to the crowd in 2009 (it would be fairer to compare with 2013).

But of course mere facts are no problem for the one and only real Donald. Media that reported about this were simply made out for liars, while Trump’s spokesman Sean Spicer stated that “this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration - period” while Trump estimated “it looked like a million, a million and a half people”.
Trump said in response to media reporting the truth (for a change): “I have a running war with the media, they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth, and they sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community” - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/...se-briefing-inauguration-crowd-size.html?_r=0
Crowd scientists say that the “Women’s March” in Washington had 3 times as many people as Trump’s inauguration.
Surely I agree that journalists are dishonest, but even journalists aren’t such pathological liars as the average politician or lawyer.
Does “make America great again” mean that when the truth is inconvenient: tell “great” lies?

Andrew Puzder - labour rights

Andrew F. Puzder was nominated by Donald Trump for Secretary of the Labor Department. Puzder is another corrupt lawyer, that’s best known for being the CEO of CKE Restaurants (the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.).
Puzder and his wife donated $332,000 in support of Donald Trump, most of it right as he secured the nomination. So basically Puzder bought his spot in the Trump cabinet.
Puzder has a controversial reputation when it comes to labour rights. He is violently opposed to (higher) minimum wages. Puzder said in reply to a law raising California’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2022: “How do you pay somebody $15 an hour to scoop ice cream? How good could you be at scooping ice cream?”.
Remember that this comes from a corrupt lawyer that would break down and cry if he would be forced to work for such a (low) hourly rate. Of course I’m very impressed that it took him till he was 28 years old to finally get his law degree and then had such a successful career anyway.

Restaurant employees of CKE complained they were forced to work (extra) hours without wages. Some said they were expected to start early but weren’t allowed to clock in until later. Others said they were forced to work through their mandatory breaks. These “rest periods” were even unpaid. Tracy Bradshaw complained about these practices and later showed papers that her pregnancy would prevent her from doing certain tasks. A week later, she was fired.
Mr. Puzder defended CKE by saying that these rest breaks make no sense and that “Lawyers support state politicians out of profits from class-action lawsuits, and once they’re elected, lobby those politicians to pass more restrictive laws”: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/15/us/politics/andrew-puzder-labor-secretary.html
Puzder claimed that the laws protect the workers (too much) because politicians are bribed by lawyers. I’ve good reasons to believe that both politrics and lawyers are under control of the big corporations, but nobody listens to a little guy like me.

In 2016 Puzder said that he wanted to increase automation in his restaurants because machines are "always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall or an age, sex, or race discrimination case".
Puzder wants to use this kind of rhetoric to lower the minimum wages. He claims that millenials actually prefer being helped by a machine over human beings. Maybe I’m the only one to think that something is very wrong: http://www.businessinsider.com/carl...-location-2016-3?international=true&r=US&IR=T

Andrew F. Puzder acknowledged last Monday that he had employed an undocumented immigrant to clean his house for several years. According to Puzder he fired her after learning of her status and paid back taxes in full to the IRS later.
Puzder isn’t the first cabinet nominee who has hired undocumented workers. Mr. Trump’s choice for the Commerce Department, Wilbur Ross, had employed an undocumented household worker for several years.
Representative Mick Mulvaney, Republican of South Carolina and the nominee for White House budget director, said that he didn’t pay taxes on a nanny. He had to pay more than $15,000 in taxes and penalties to the IRS: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/us/politics/andrew-puzder-labor-trump-undocumented.html?_r=0

In 1989 “The Riverfront Times” published an article claiming that Puzder had abused his wife. To support his nomination the allegations were retracted by his ex-wife: http://www.riverfronttimes.com/news...was-accused-of-abusing-wife?showFullText=true

Here are Donald Trump and Puzder.

Muslim ban

On January 27 Donald Trump fulfilled a campaign promise and signed the executive order to block entry for citizens from the following 7 countries (a 90/120-day ban): Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.
Didn’t the USA restore democracy and freedom in Iraq by removing Saddam Hussein…

Then U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle blocked (froze) Donald Trump’s Muslim ban from taking effect. The plaintiff was Washington State.
Judge Robart implied that since refugees or nationals of the 7 banned countries had not committed terrorist attacks in the USA “that they constituted particular threats to national security didn’t count as a rational basis”: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4201864/Trump-lawyer-hit-judges-questions-Muslim-ban.html
I can understand that a judge can decide that this Muslim ban is racist, so in violation with constitutional rights, but I don’t get how such a (low) judge can rule for the whole USA…

According to Trump’s team the president has clear authority to “suspend the entry of any class of aliens” to the USA under the guise of national security. They also defended the law by saying that the countries banned under the executive order had already been singled out by the Obama administration (for their visa screening process).
According to Donald Trump: "But courts seem to be so political and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right. And that has to do with the security of our country".
I thought that judges must uphold the laws to protect us…
A Cato Institute study found that no Syrian refugee has been charged for carrying out a terrorist attack in the USA in the last 4 decades, and only 17 people from the 6 other countries. No one died as a result of a terrorist attack by anyone from these 7 nations: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...immigration-travel-restrictions-a7569341.html

To sell the Muslim ban; Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway made up a terrorist attack by Muslims from Iraq: the Bowling Green massacre. Conway also erroneously claimed that the Obama administration banned Iraqi refugees from entering the USA for 6 months in 2011 because of this terrorist attack: http://www.vox.com/world/2017/2/2/14494478/bowling-green-massacre
According to a recent poll by Public Policy Polling, 51% of the Trump voters agreed with the statement “the Bowling Green massacre shows why we need Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration?”

It wasn’t the first time Conway spoke about the “Bowling Green Massacre”; she later apologised and said that she had meant to say “Bowling Green terrorists”. I am probably not the only one that had never heard of Bowling Green. The following happened at Bowling Green (involving Iraqis)...
In 2010, an unnamed man paid by the FBI, approached an Iraqi refugee living in Bowling Green named Waad Ramadan Alwan, and asked if he’d be interested in shipping weapons and money to Iraqi insurgents. Alwan said yes and recruited another Iraqi refugee - Mohanad Shareef Hammadi.
In the next months, Alwan and Hammadi deposited machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Stinger missiles, and C4 plastic explosives in warehouses and tractors. The FBI arrested Alwan and Hammadi in May 2011 (the only terrorism-related arrests of Iraqi refugees in US history): http://www.vox.com/world/2017/2/6/14521968/bowling-green-massacre-kellyanne-conway-lies
Isn’t this clear evidence that the FBI is criminalising the USA…

It looks like blocking the Muslim ban was a set-up, because another plan has been unfolded...
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly explained that - because the Muslim ban has been blocked - there are now plans to ask visa applicants for passwords for their social media accounts.
Kelly said "If they don't want to cooperate, then they don't come in" to the United States”: http://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/02/08/17/us-could-ask-visa-applicants-for-social-media-passwords

Puzder, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Carter Page

This makes me really sad.
Just last February 9, I made some less than flattering remarks about Andrew Puzder.
According to the “independent” Wikipedia these reasons are precisely what made Puzder withdraw his nomination as Secretary of Labor on February 15:
“Puzder had "come under intense fire from Democrats and liberal groups who accused him of mistreating his workers, opposing the minimum wage and supporting automation in the workplace" as well as conservatives who criticized Puzder's "employment of an undocumented immigrant as a housekeeper and his failure to pay taxes for her services."[SUP][39][/SUP] On February 15, 2017, the eve of his scheduled confirmation hearing, Puzder withdrew his nomination, after "it became clear to Republican Senate leaders that they did not have the votes to confirm him" in the Senate confirmation.[SUP][40][41][/SUP] Puzder acknowledged that the allegations of spousal abuse, which he denied and his ex-wife recanted in 1990 as part of a custody agreement, contributed to his withdrawal”

What makes me almost break down and cry is that Puzder wasn’t the only great patriot on the Trump team that is looking for a new job.
On February 13, national security adviser Michael Flynn was forced to resign after his cosy relation with Putin’s Russia couldn’t be denied anymore.
I’m just happy that I wasn’t going crazy like the “fake news media … with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred”.
Even now I won’t imply that Donald Trump is even more involved with Russia’s regime than the Obama administration. I just hope nobody finds out that Donald Trump is a Goldman Sachs puppet.

If I understand correctly Flynn had to step down because he discussed sensitive national-security information with Russia’s ambassador… According to the media this all the more damaging, because he did this before becoming national security adviser?!?
Flynn called Russian ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, the day Obama imposed new penalties and gave him "the impression that the sanctions would be revisited at a later time".
On December 25, 2016 Flynn sent a friendly text to Kislyak “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”. Kislyak immediately replied with similar good wishes.

When this news broke, suddenly Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence claimed that Flynn had not been totally open about his warm relation with the Kremlin. They also claimed that Flynn had done nothing illegal. Maybe Donald Trump’s rant on Twitter makes this less convincing:
“From intelligence, papers are being leaked, things are being leaked. It’s criminal action, criminal act, and it’s been going on for a long time, before me, but now it’s really going on, and people are trying to cover up for a terrible loss that the Democrats had under Hillary Clinton (…)
The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by “intelligence” like candy. Very un-American! (…)
I think it’s very, very unfair what’s happened to General Flynn, the way he was treated, and the documents and papers that were illegally, I stress that, illegally leaked. Very, very unfair””
I have to agree with Donald: it’s really American to cover up all kinds of corruption and criminal activity by the US government: http://www.news.com.au/finance/work...n/news-story/1685cb2e71793b8ae91cf39204d2c6c4

Here we can see Michael Flynn and Vladimir Putin shaking hands in Russia in 2015.

I just hope nobody finds out that Flynn is already the third man in Trump’s team that resigned because of ties to Putin’s Russia. Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager, and Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser, had to step down from the Trump campaign, over their dealings with Russia.
Manafort "managed" communication between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, and received "kickback payments" from deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych throughout 2016. Yanukovych was ousted in 2014 and has lived in Russia since: http://www.businessinsider.com/mich...rter-page-2017-2?international=true&r=US&IR=T

Maybe the saddest thing is that Donald Trump doesn’t look as confident as he did before. He couldn’t possibly have doubts about his (lacking) skills, could he?

The latest “news” on and by Donald Trump is just goofy.
It looks that they’re not even trying to make up stories to convince anybody, but simply bombard us with ridiculous stories.

Donald Trump has said that former President Obama is behind all of the protests against Trump and also that Obama’s team leaked confidential information. I guess this is the “fake” news that Michael Flynn was all too cosy with Putin’s Russia: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ames-obama-leaks-protests-ahead-major-speech/

Eeven more ridiculous is that George W. Bush has attacked Donald Trump for his ties to Russia (what about all of their ties to Zionist Israel?).
Bush also criticised the Muslim ban:
"I am for an immigration policy that's welcoming and that upholds the law (…)"I think it's very hard to fight the war on terrorism if we're in retreat".
And the most ridiculous comment of all, is that Trump endangeres the media, that should “protect” us from people like Bush Jr. himself:
“I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. We need the media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive, and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power” - http://www.smh.com.au/world/george-...ia-immigration-and-media-20170227-gumnl5.html

Donald Trump used to be good friends with George H.W. Bush.

Theresa May, 50 billion for army, Soros in Macedonia

At the end of January Donald Trump had a nice talk with British Prime Minister Theresa May that gave the orders from Queen Elizabeth and Rothschild. They only definitely agreed upon Trump’s state visit to Queen Elizabeth later this year.
They haven’t yet finalised a trade deal yet, but Trump promised that trade arrangements that Britain has with the USA through its EU membership will continue after Brexit.
Maybe before Brexit the USA and Britain will already remove mobile phone roaming charges, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and remove non-tariff barriers blocking British exports for certain agriculture and food products: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...n-union-holding-hands-menu-card-a7550956.html
Trump and May were walking arm-in-arm in what looks like some kind of Masonic holding hands.

A couple of weeks ago Donald Trump made a speech that he’s “inherited a mess, at home and abroad”, but not to worry “we’ll take care of it”, Donald’s team will solve “the problem”. We’re gonna build the best military. We need a strong military and strong law enforcement.
Donald Trump further explained that this means “I want to increase our military spending significantly. We have to. Our military is depleted. Our equipment is old and tired and we’re going to have the finest military that the United States has ever had by far”.
I guess that bombing the Middle East alone is not enough to “make America great again”, more war will surely fill the bank accounts of the banksters that own the oil and weapon companies (of course Trump will get a reward for being such a good servant).
Trump also explained that he had no problem that Michael Flynn discussed the Russian sanctions by the Obama administration with the Russian ambassador. But - on the contrary - would have a problem “if he didn't do it”: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...of-his-administration/?utm_term=.68f4d1302c5a

Ed Royce reacted (ignoring the expected raise in spending for the military and law and order): “I am very concerned by reports of deep cuts that could damage efforts to combat terrorism, save lives, and create opportunities for American workers (…) The committee will thoroughly review the administration’s foreign affairs budget request when it’s made available to Congress”.
The Wall Street Journal reported that “President Donald Trump is developing a federal budget that officials said would add more than $50 billion to the base defense budget. The increase would be made possible by significant cuts elsewhere, officials said on Monday, particularly to the State Department and its foreign aid division”.
Secretary of Homeland Security Gen. John Kelly is implementing immigration reforms designed to remove bad people from the USA: http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...athway-obamacare-repeal-tax-cuts-border-wall/
Maybe I’m the only one to think that bombs for peace don’t work and that our justice system in fact protects the big criminals.

It’s been some time since I’ve heard from Judicial Watch, which is still digging up dirt on the Obama-Clinton administration.
This time they’ve made a press release about how George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, financed by millions of dollars from the US government, has been destabilising the democratically elected Macedonian government. The cash flows through the State Department and the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID) and is funnelled by Jess L. Baily.
USAID has allocated about $5 million to Soros’ groups in Macedonia since 2012, and at least $9.5 million has been earmarked by the agency to destabilise its government for 2016-2021.
One Macedonian government official recently interviewed by Judicial Watch described that they organise youth movements, create influential media outlets and organise violent protests to undermine the government. Soros funded the translation and publication of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” into Macedonian - a tactical manual of subversion, which provides direct advice for radical street protests and proclaims Lucifer to be the first radical: http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2...ons-destabilize-macedonias-conservative-govt/

Jeff Sessions

Another man on Trump's team is in heavy weather; again Russia is involved…

US attorney general Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III is another lawyer, who is under scrutiny because he blatantly lied about his ties to Russia.
At the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing in January, Senator Al Franken asked Sessions what he would do as Attorney General "if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign".
Sessions replied: that he was “not aware of any of those activities” and “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it".
On January 17, Session repeated in reply to written questions from Senator Pat Leahy, that he had no contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government regarding the 2016 election.
On March 1, Sessions came under scrutiny after it became public knowledge public that he did have contact with the Russian government officials. Apparently Sessions had met the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, twice during Trump’s campaign (the ambassador that repeatedly discussed with Michael Flynn), once at the Republican National Convention in July, and again in his Senate office in September.
On March 1, Sessions replied to this (false?) news with "I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false".
Yeah sure - they weren’t talking about “the campaign”...
Sessions had already started a nice “investigation” of the alleged interference of Russia in the presidential election, but on March 2, announced that he would “recuse” himself from these investigations: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/opinion/jeff-sessions-had-no-choice.html?_r=0

There is more dirt on Jeff Sessions, he has been accused of being racist, violating human rights and using his office to attack Democrats, opponents for political reasons (including revenge).
When I look at recent stories about Sessions’ racism, they look sugar coated, but older articles are much harsher.
In 1986, Sessions was nominated by Reagan as judge of the US District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, but his nomination failed due to criticism of his record on civil rights and racism.
In March 1986 the widow of Martin Luther King, Loretta Scott King, sent a letter opposing the appointment of Sessions as Judge on the District Court, because “Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters”.
The most damaging statements came from the black Thomas Figures that had worked for Sessions, who testified that Sessions repeatedly called him “boy” and told him to “be careful what you say to white folks”.
Figures also told about an instance when Sessions was discussing the civil Hodge case with Figures and told him that “I wish I could decline on all of them". Figures understood that Sessions wanted to decline civil rights cases in general.
J. Gerald Hebert, a senior civil rights attorney at the Department of Justice, testified that Sessions had described a white attorney as a “disgrace to his race” for working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Hebert also claimed, that Sessions had called various civil rights organisations, including the National Council of Churches and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference: “un-American”.

Hebert was threatened by Alabama senator Jeremiah Denton, a close ally to Sessions, to help him get appointed as US District Court: “He said that I’d better get out there and straighten up this nomination, or else I might find myself packing my bags when I got back to the justice department”.

In 1990, after departing Sessions’ office and returning to private practice, Figures was defending a civil rights activist accused of dealing crack cocaine. A drug dealer, John Christopher, was expected to testify against Figures’ client. Figures went to see Christopher in jail, unaware that Christopher was offered a deal to set Figures up, and was wearing a wire. Christopher asked Figures to pay him $50,000 to stop him from testifying. Figures didn´t decline this offer. Figures later testified at his trial that he did this so he could have Christopher charged with attempted bribery.
In 1992, Figures was charged with attempting to bribe Christopher by offering $50,000. Figures faced a potential 15-year prison sentence and $250,000 fine if convicted, but was acquitted in March 1993.
Douglas Wicks, a former Mobile County commissioner, spent more than 5 years in prison after being convicted on charges that were brought against him by Sessions a few months after he had accused Sessions of calling him a “nigger”. According to Wicks: “[I]Sessions decided to go after me because he didn’t get the federal judgeship[/I]”.
A businessman was sent into Wicks’ office by the FBI, wearing a wire, and recorded Wicks saying that he welcomed campaign contributions. The businessman was seeking a waste haulage contract from the county. Sessions accused Wicks of taking $3,000 in cash that the businessman had left in an envelope on his desk. Wicks denied that he ever saw this envelope: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ion-donald-trump-douglas-wicks-thomas-figures

Another interesting case is that in 1985, Sessions accused 3 black civil rights activists, known as the Marion Three, for voter fraud. This included Martin Luther King’s former aide Albert Turner. The defendants were accused of tampering with absentee ballots in the 1984 primary election. They charged them with violations of federal mail fraud statutes.
What makes this affair seem racist is that in 1982, Sessions was asked by then-District Attorney Roy L. Johnson to investigate voting irregularities including interference with absentee ballots in Perry County. In 1983, a majority-black state grand jury found that the right of black Perry County citizens to vote had been tampered with — and asked the federal government to intervene. But Sessions did not investigate that case.
The Marion Three were acquitted of all charges: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...s-bid-for-a-judgeship/?utm_term=.c4ca08c074a0

There are other accusations against Sessions. The following story accuses Session of charging Democrats for political reasons, including: Lambert Mims, Bob Gulledge, and Gary Greenough.
Gurney Owens alleged that after he had been caught on tape soliciting a bribe from a local businessman he was offered a deal if he would frame some Democrats. Owens didn’t play along and was sentenced to 10 years in prison: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...ons-legal-past-democrats-trump-administration
In my opinion this last story doesn’t prove that all of these “Democrats” were innocent, but it does show how corrupt lawyers (like Sessions) use their position to help their “friends”.

Jared Kushner – Blackstone and George Soros

I never suspected that the husband of Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, is such an interesting fellow.
After Ivanka failed to catch the heir apparent of the Rothschild trillions, Nat Rothschild, she got the next best thing – Jared Kushner.

IVANKA & KUSHNER – ADVISOR TO PRESIDENT
The daughter of Ivanka Trump, who already had a West Wing Office in the White House, is now an official advisor to President Trump. Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner had already been appointed as a senior advisor to father-in-law Donald.
The couple Kushner have a security clearance, but are “unpaid”.
The Justice Department determined that this isn’t in violation of anti-nepotism laws. According to the state media this is actually better, because as official “advisors” the Kushners have to abide by federal ethics regulations.
Since 1967, a federal anti-nepotism law prohibits executive branch officials from appointing their relatives to jobs.
Trump is certainly not the first president to appoint close relatives. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s son James served as his secretary. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s son worked as assistant staff secretary in the White House. John F. Kennedy made his brother Robert attorney general and put his brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, in charge of the Peace Corps: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politi...e-Trump-White-House-the-rewards-and-the-risks

More recently President Bill Clinton let Hillary oversee his health care changes, but she didn’t get an official White House function.

FINANCIAL TIES – BLACKSTONE, GOLDMAN SACHS, SOROS
There are some concerns about the financial ties of the Trump administration.
Last January, Jared Kushner stepped down from his management positions at Kushner Companies, a family-run real estate investment firm that has taken part in more than $7 billion of acquisitions over the past decade.
Jared will remain a beneficiary of the business, through a series of trusts that own the various real estate companies. The worth of this estate and investment business is estimated at $740 million.
Jared Kushner didn’t disclose information on his business partners or lenders to his projects. His real estate firm has borrowed money from amongst others: the Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Natixis bank (France), and Hapoalim (Israel’s largest bank).

The CEO of the private equity giant Blackstone Group (one of the corporations of Baron Jacob Rothschild) Stephen A. Schwarzman, was made an economic adviser to Donald Trump and chairman of the “Strategic and Policy Forum”.
Kushner is also partners in crime with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager (I’m not sure about the details). BlackRock was founded in 1988 as part of the Blackstone Group. According to the state media BlackRock is independent from Blackstone since 1995. The founder and CEO of BlackRock is Larry Fink.

Gary D. Cohn, the former president of Goldman Sachs, now heads the National Economic Council. Cohn’s net worth is valued between $253 million and $611 million, and his income last year was $77 million.
Another White House official, Reed Cordish, who heads technology initiatives, accumulated assets valued at $424 million.
The Trump’s administration is considered the wealthiest in American history, with according to Bloomberg members of his senior staff and cabinet worth an estimated $12 billion: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/31/...g-from-business-empire-filings-show.html?_r=0

Around the time Trump received the Republican nomination, Kushner’s firm began negotiating with the Chinese Anbang Insurance Group, with ties to some of the Communist Party’s leading families about a plan to invest billions of dollars in Kushner’s office tower at 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
After Donald Trump became the president elect, Anbang became even more determined to close the deal with Kushner.
They ended the talks when the deal became too controversial after weeks of negative publicity. The building had already been rescued by other prominent companies, including: Carlyle and Zara (of multibillionaire Amancio Ortega): https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/07/us/politics/jared-kushner-trump-business.html?_r=0

The White House has acknowledged that Jared Kushner together with Michael T. Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, met the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, in late November or early December, 2016 in New York.
The Russian ambassador is apparently quite popular amongst Trump’s partners in crime.

The father of Jared, Charles Kushner, has been embroiled in a nasty family feud over how to distribute the business’s proceeds. At one time, Charles hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped the encounter and sent the footage to his sister.
Charles pleaded guilty, and in 2005 was sentenced to 2 years in prison for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal campaign donations.

According to Forbes, the Kushner family is worth at least $1.8 billion.
Jared’s brother, Joshua (Josh) Kushner, started his working career at… Goldman Sachs
In 2015 Jared, Josh, and Ryan Williams (of Blackstone, who became Cadre’s CEO) founded the investment firm Cadre.
The money came from Goldman Sachs and George Soros: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chloes...ortune-donald-trump-real-estate/#4e66f6c12f42
George Soros invested more than $250 million in Cadre: https://therealdeal.com/2017/01/27/...inancier-behind-kushner-backed-startup-cadre/
That’s the same George Soros that supported Hillary Clinton with campaign contributions and “criticising” Donald Trump, and who were together involved in a bankruptcy fraud involving the General Motors building in New York.

On a lighter note some media claim that Ivanka Trump last February couldn’t keep her eyes of the Canadian PM (Puppet Minister) Justin Trudeau: https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/186238-When-Ivanka-Trump-couldnt-take-her-eyes-off-Trudeau

Here is the couple Kushner with daddy Trump, on 16 June 2015 when Donald announced his campaign for the presidency.

Alex Acosta, Scott Gottlieb

Both the Clintons and Donald Trump were good friends of Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing underage girls and running a paedophile sex ring. Epstein was convicted to a whopping 13 months in jail, for a total of 8 hours per day.
Most accounts claim that every Sunday Epstein was locked up the whole day... This means that Epstein was locked up for a total of 56 whole days.
Epstein arranged underage girls for Prince Andrew, and Donald Trump provided his private jet for Prince Andrew to meet with his good friend Epstein.

ALEX ACOSTA
Most people thought Donald Trump couldn’t do it. But against all odds he picks an even bigger scumbag than Andrew Puzder for Secretary of Labor - Alexander Acosta
In 2008 no other than Alexander Acosta as US Attorney made the sweet deal with Jeffrey Epstein. Here is the deal in all glory: http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/palmbeachpost/news/S60BW-109091810400.pdf

Not only did Epstein receive a very mild sentence, but it also immunised several of the paedophiles that used the “services” of Epstein’s sex ring.
In 2011, Acosta wrote a letter in which he defended this decision:

Our judgment in this case, based on the evidence that was known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register as a sex offender and pay his victims restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of success. I supported that judgment then, and based on the state of the law as it then stood and the evidence known at the time, I would support that judgment again.

In the 2011 letter, Acosta agreed that the work release seemed "highly unusual treatment" that "undermined the purpose of a jail sentence".

At his senate confirmation hearing, Alexander Acosta was supposedly “grilled” by the Democrooks; where he described the secret non-prosecution deal with Jeffrey Epstein as “a good thing”.
According to Acosta, the state had been outmatched by Epstein, whose attorneys launched "a year-long assault" on prosecutors “more aggressive” than any Acosta had previously encountered. Including following witnesses and discrediting victims by offering their social media profiles: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article136073328.html

Any idea what would happen if some small time drug dealer would harass witnesses or law enforcement agents?
Acosta’s office didn’t file a pair of obstruction of justice charges against Epstein. The first for harassing 2 of his personal assistants to thwart FBI agents from serving investigation subpoenas. The second for dissuading a female victim from talking with agents.
But of course for billionaire pervert Epstein and his friends the laws do not apply.
Kent Frank, 50, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Alex Acosta declared in a news release that society

cannot permit such individuals to seek sanctuary in our community (…)
We will prosecute sexual abuse of children aggressively, both when the targets are children in our community and when the defendants travel to target children abroad.

Kent Frank 40 years, Jeffrey Epstein 56 days…

Acosta was head of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice during the Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2005, the Department of Justice Inspector General let Bradley Schlozman do the hiring. Under Acosta’s watch, Schlozman illegally purged “liberal” attorneys in favour of hiring more conservative, “real Americans” (Schlozman’s words).
Acosta agreed this “conduct should have never happened, I deeply regret it”: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...re-pedo-jeffrey-epstein-was-a-good-thing.html

Acosta also oversaw the settlement with UBS, a bank from Switzerland which helped 20,000 Americans with assets of about $20 billion evade taxes.
The bank paid $780 million and agreed to hand over the names of “some of their clients”: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/18/AR2009021802541.html

Here you can see Alex Acosta standing to the right of Ivanka and Jared Kushner. I sometimes see politicians and think they’d sell their own mother for a dime; Acosta’s face false in this category.

SCOTT GOTTLIEB – BIG PHARMA HEADS THE FDA
Donald Trump has chosen Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a conservative health policy expert with deep ties to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, to lead the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Gottlieb was healthcare analyst at the investment bank Alex, Brown & Son, who decided he could make more money by entering pharmaceutics as a Dr.
Since 2005 he is a writer for Forbes magazine.

Scott Gottlieb is completely tied up with the pharmaceutical industry.
Gottlieb is a director at Tolero Pharmaceuticals and Daiichi Sankyo Inc., and on the investment board of GlaxoSmithKline (the pharmaceutical giant that sells the highly toxic AZT).
Gottlieb has earlier worked on the development of the FDA's policies related to the approval of fixed dose combination drugs for the treatment of AIDS-victims.

Gottlieb is also a partner at T.R. Winston (a merchant bank) and a venture partner at investment firm New Enterprise Associates, which invest heavily in health care and biopharma.
From 2013 through 2015 Gottlieb received some $413,700 from drug companies for “consulting, speaking or other services”. In 2015 alone, he collected $199,951 from eight drug companies, most of it coming from Vertex, GlaxoSmithKline, and Daiichi Sankyo (see the following picture).

When he was appointed by President George Bush Jr. for the FDA in 2005 Gottlieb’s conflicts of interest raised eyebrows. Gottlieb had to recuse himself for up to a year from matters involving 9 drug companies, including Eli Lilly, Roche, Procter & Gamble and Sanofi-Aventis.
Some of the companies involved with Gottlieb, have a controversial reputation. In 2012, GlaxoSmithKline paid $3 billion to settle charges of improper marketing and other practices. In 2009, Eli Lilly paid $1.4 billion to settle similar charges.
In 2009, Pfizer settled a health care fraud for $2.3 billion: http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-gottlieb-fda-20170315-story.html

Gottlieb has repeatedly criticised FDA’s “flawed culture” in which the safety of a drug is too much of a concern. Gottlieb will try to dramatically cut regulations governing food, drugs, cosmetics, dietary supplements and tobacco, so the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t have to worry about something minor like the health of their victims.
Of course this is not a drastic change from the policy under the Obama administration. FDA review for new drugs has fallen from an average of about 18 months a decade or two ago to about 12 months more recently, while the percentage of approvals of drug applications has risen to more than 90% in 2015.
Gottlieb was chosen over Jim O'Neill, a libertarian investor close to Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel.
A survey by Mizuho Securities USA Inc of 53 pharmaceutical executives found that 72 % favoured Gottlieb over other potential candidates: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-health-fda-gottlieb-idUSKBN16H2AM

Elaine Chao

It could be funny if it wasn’t so horrible...
The trail of drugs trafficking, money laundering, Henry Kissinger, leads to Elaine L. Chao and back to Donald Trump, George Bush and the Clintons: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?508005-Drugs-profits-for-Oil-wars

President Trump nominated Elaine L. Chao (born in Taiwan) to Secretary of Transportation, which the Senate confirmed by a vote of 93-6 (her husband Senator Mitch McConnell didn’t refrain from voting…).
Elaine Chao has earlier served as a Reagan administration official and secretary of labor in the George W. Bush cabinets (from 2001 to 2009). Elaine Chao is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

Elaine’s father, James S.C. Chao, was a classmate at Jiao Tong University of Jiang Zemin, the president of China in the ’90s. They have kept in touch ever since.
Through James Chao, Elaine and Mitch McConnell met Jiang several times, both in Beijing and Washington. When Jiang visited the White House in 1997, he met privately with Elaine and Mitch McConnell, before a state dinner hosted by President Clinton; Senator McConnell again met Jiang the next morning.
In 1999, Elaine and Mitch appeared at the University of Louisville with Chinese Ambassador Li Zhaoxing.

When James Chao emigrated from Taiwan to the USA, upon settling in New York, he founded the Foremost Maritime Corporation. Foremost transports goods to China and buys its ships from the China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
Senator Mitch McConnell’s ties to the Chao family go back to the late 1980s, when James Chao began donating to his campaigns. In 1993, McConnell married Elaine Chao.
In April 2008, James Chao gave Elaine and Mitch $5 to $25 million to help the McConnells get over the dip in their stock portfolio after the financial crisis earlier that year. The generous gift made McConnell one of the wealthiest in the Senate, with an estimated net worth of $22.8 million.

In 1989, Elaine asked John Huang to raise money for Republican senators. In 1993, Huang, then head of the Lippo Bank (based in Indonesia), arranged a coalition of Chinese banks and individuals to sponsor Chao’s visit to Los Angeles as the new head of United Way.
Huang also gave McConnell $2,000 in illegal donations as part of a foreign money-laundering scheme.
Elaine has been a director for Protective Life Corp., which owns 50% of CRC Protective Life Insurance. Lippo co-owns the rest of the Hong Kong-based insurance company with China Resources Holdings Co., a front company for China’s People Liberation Army.
Lippo is controlled by the Riady family and was at the centre of the Clinton “Chinagate” fundraising scandal. Lippo´s chief executive James T. Riady pled guilty to a felony charge for illegally donating to the campaign of Bill Clinton.

One of Elaine’s patrons was Maurice “Hank” Greenberg.
Greenberg is chairman and chief executive of the New York-based American International Group (AIG), which does a lot of business in China.
Greenberg and AIG, through its employee PAC, have donated thousands of dollars to Mitch McConnell’s campaigns. Mitch also received large sums for speeches for AIG.
AIG has also hired Henry A. Kissinger, for his connections (including in China).

Chao also served on the board of directors for Bloomberg Philanthropies, the foundation started by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Elaine served as studies advisor to Heritage as well. Bloomberg gave Heritage $180,000 in 1998 and at least $100,000 a year for more than a decade through his Starr Foundation for writing favourably about trading with China: http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/trump-shocker-who-is-elaine-chao/

The China connection (again) leads to Henry Kissinger.
Kissinger has visited China more than 80 times since his first clandestine 1971 trip.
After Donald Trump became US president elect, Kissinger swiftly visited Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Kissinger was amongst a select group of US experts that met Xi in February 2012 before he became president.
Other Americans on this short list were former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and… Elaine Chao: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ling-with-trump-turns-to-old-friend-kissinger

Now for the shocking stuff…
In August 2014, the ship “Ping May” of the Foremost Maritime Corporation of daddy Chao was in Santa Marta en route to the Netherlands.
Before it could leave the port, Colombian inspectors discovered, amidst its load of coal, approximately 40 kilograms (about ninety pounds) of cocaine in 40 separate packages: https://www.thenation.com/article/mitch-mcconnells-freighted-ties-shadowy-shipping-company/

The following photo shows James Chao (second from right), at the christening of the “Ping May” in Shanghai.

Elaine Chao has also served on the board of Wells Fargo, one of the biggest banks in the world.
In 2012, Wells Fargo paid a $175 million settlement after it was accused of charging higher fees and rates to minority borrowers (maybe not of Chinese origins…) than to white borrowers with the same “credit risk”.
Even more interesting is that in 2010, Wachovia – purchased by Wells Fargo in 2008 – paid a settlement of $160 million for laundering over $100 million in drugs money for “Mexican and Colombian drug cartels” (I didn’t know that Bush, Clinton and Kissinger are Mexican Columbians…).
The bank admitted that it had failed to “apply the proper anti-laundering strictures” regarding the handling of $378.4 billion in currency exchanges with Mexico between 2004 and 2007.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the big banks received huge government bailouts (Wells Fargo got $25 billion from the US government).
According to the UN, proceeds from the global drug trade was “the only liquid investment capital” that ultimately helped keep Wells Fargo and other banks afloat.
Wells Fargo also profited, and continues to profit, at the other end of the “war on drug” as a major investor in the prison-industrial complex, specifically with heavy investments in the GEO Group, the second largest private prison company in the USA: http://www.alternet.org/economy/whats-wrong-wells-fargo

 

[Anti-Neocon]

Boycotting the elections seems like something that ensures that the anti-liberty party duopoly will continue to reign supreme.

In fact it makes me wonder how many people who suggest this idea are actually honest people, or trolls trying to quash the resistance against what is essentially a one-party stranglehold on Washington DC.

The reason why boycott can be an effective protest is that it hurts people you disapprove of in profit. It's a good free market libertarian way to exercise power you have through your free choice, no offensive force involved. In a libertarian society with less regulated corporations, that would be one of the major checks on companies harmful to the collective. The "collective" word may sound scary but it isn't collecitiv-ism, it's just individuals choosing to use their money essentially as speech.

But the key here is that financial boycott has a mechanism for bringing about change. "Boycotting" the vote just makes the people you are supposed to be protesting smile. Who do you think is happy when D + R adds up to 99%? The very people you are trying to protest! Hand in a blank ballot, write-in your neighbor, whatever, vote third party, whatever. Any of that is better strategically than staying home, unless you like our two party-system as it is. I would suggest voting for the most popular 3rd party in every election you could, just to create an opening for something that isn't D or R. But you may have a different opinion, whatever. Just don't stay home.

In fact it makes me wonder how many people who suggest this idea are actually honest people, or trolls trying to quash the resistance against what is essentially a one-party stranglehold on Washington DC.

Which resistance are you talking about? Are you talking about the Tea party that's financed by the Koch brothers (both in Forbes top 10 billionaire list)?

The objective of political elections is to pacify us into submission.
The elite keep getting richer over the backs of the poor slaves.

Ultimately it is mental slavery that makes all of this possible. An important role in this scam is fooling us into believing that our wonderful democratic rights (to vote for the corrupt puppets of the elite) guarantee our freedom...

Over here in the Kingdom of the Netherlands where I survive, we are ruled by the ruthless Orange-Nassau family.
We have the “right” to vote for subordinates of King Willem-Alexander...

The situation is similar in Britain.
Canada is ruled by a Governor General selected by Queen Elizabeth, and is in fact still a colony of England: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?498934-Dictator-of-the-British-Empire

The USA is ruled by the one party Democrook-Republicons; you have the right to vote, which could actually mean something...

In the last US presidential election, the only 2 candidates that stood a chance were Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Both are puppets for Goldman Sachs.
The husband of the daughter of Hillary, Chelsea, is a Goldman Sachs alumnus.
The brother-in-law of the daughter of Donald, Ivanka, is a Goldman Sachs alumnus.

Both have been good friends with paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who in turn was arranging underage girls for the sexual appetites of Prince Andrew.
Both are involved in money laundering of drugs money...

When our constitutional rights are violated in the worst ways imaginable there’s nothing we can do about it (at least not as one individual against a powerful government).

It is stupid to vote in a dictatorship that is sold to us as a democracy.
Not voting won’t make this place a better place, but it could be a first step in the process of waking up.
Another important step in the process of waking up is to stop listening to the telescreen (subliminal messages...).

Australian born media mogul Murdoch owns the FOX Broadcasting Company and was (also) schooled at Oxford. He has been friends with Baron Jacob Rothschild since the 1960s. Rothschild served as deputy chairman of Murdoch's BSkyB Corporation from 2003 to 2007.
Murdoch jointly with Rothschild invested in a 5.5% stake in Genie, which conducts shale gas and oil exploration in amongst others Colorado and the occupied Golan Heights. Other notable investors on Genie’s Strategic Advisory Board of Genie are: Dick Cheney and James Woolsey.

According to Forbes, Murdoch is the 96th richest person in the world, with a net worth of $13.1 billion.
In June 2016, Donald Trump welcomed Rupert Murdoch and his wife Jerry Hall for dinner at his golf course in Scotland.

In 2015, Ira Greenstein donated $10,000 to Trump’s campaign. Greensteinwas Genie’s President from 15 December 2011 to 3 May 2017.
John Sweeney conducted interviews to choose applicants for the Trump administration with 3 transition team members: Ira Greenstein (president of Genie Energy Ltd.), Anthony Scaramucci (Goldman Sachs alumnus, who joined FOX Business Network in 2014), and Martin Silverstein (US ambassador to Uruguay under President George Bush Jr.).
Democrats have also sat on the Strategic Advisory Board of Genie, like Shelley Berkley: https://animeright.news/zanting/gen...icant-interviews-for-the-trump-administration

Rupert Murdoch and his ex-wife, the Chinese born Wendi Deng, are also very close to the couple Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner (advisors to President Trump). See Jared and Rupert.

Nobody could mind that the Trump organization is making lots of money now that Donald will “make America great again”, in the words of Eric Trump: “I think our brand is the hottest it has ever been”.
The Mar-a-Lago, where the members sometimes have access to President Trump, doubled its initial membership fees from $100,000 to $200,000 days after Trump assumed the presidency.

Less than 10 days after Trump won the election, the Trump International Hotel in Washington hosted a gathering for about 100 foreign diplomats and tried to convince them to book rooms there when they stayed in Washington.
Since then, the governments of Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have booked rooms and/or hosted events at Trump’s hotel.

After Donald Trump was inaugurated, he spent 7 of his first 14 weekends at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
President Trump hosted an open-air situation room in Mar-a-Lago when he consulted with Japanese President Shinzo Abe on how to respond to a North Korean missile test launch.
On another Mar-a-Lago weekend, he was visited by Chinese President Xi Jinping, when Trump made the decision to fires 59 Tomahawk missiles at an air base in Syria. The day Ivanka Trump sat next to Xi and his wife at Mar-a-Lago, the Chinese government approved 5 new trademarks for Ivanka’s company.

The limited liability company Milan Investments, with anonymous owners, bought 11 condos at the Trump International Las Vegas, which Trump co-owns, for $3.1 million: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-first-100-days-nepotism-wealth_us_59039ce4e4b0bb2d086e6d4f

I’m just glad that Donald Trump has convinced us all that he’s above corruption.
No need to check of course…

Since Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty on sexually abusing underage girls and running an underage sex ring, Donald Trump has sort of denied that they were close.
I have found 3 photos that look like Donald and Epstein were pretty close.

Palm Beach, Florida, 1 January 1997

Victoria’s Secret angels party at the Laura Belle club in New York City, April 1997

Donald and Jeff with Melania Knauss (now First lady) and Epstein’s aide Ghislaine Maxwell at the Mar-a-Lago, 12 February 2000

Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach estate was a walking distance from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club

There are some pictures of one of the famous “clients” of Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew. It’s hard to estimate the age of this girl with Andrew.
This looks like a scene from the movie “Eyes Wide Shut”.

John McCain, Deripaska, Follieri

By mid-2005 Rothschild and Deripaska, had already virtually taken control of Montenegro’s economy by snapping up its aluminium plant, KAP – which accounts for up to 40% of the country’s GDP and some 80% of its export earnings. Deripaska is controlling shareholder of the Russian aluminium giant RusAl, and in 2008 listed as the ninth-richest man in the world.

In January 2006, Rick Davis introduced Oleg Deripaska to John McCain at a villa in Davos, Switzerland.
The McCain campaign later claimed that “any contact between Mr. Deripaska and the senator was social and incidental” but afterward Deripaska thanked Davis for arranging “such an intimate setting”.

In August 2006, John McCain was spotted celebrating his 70th birthday in Montenegro at a yacht rented by the Italian Raffaello Follieri (later convicted to years in prison) and his then movie-star girlfriend Anne Hathaway.
See on the left Raffaello Follieri and Anne Hathaway. Follieri is shaking hands with Rick Davis and McCain is shuffling up the yacht behind him.

On the same day one of the largest yachts in the world, the Queen K of Rothschild’s associate Oleg Deripaska, was in the same bay of Kotor.
This was the real reason McCain and Davis went to Montenegro; they met Deripaska at a reception.

In 2008, Paul Manafort and Rick Davis again arranged for then–presidential candidate John McCain to meet Deripaska (in Switzerland).
At the time, Rick Davis was McCain’s campaign manager.

Deripaska also reached out to Washington-based intelligence firm, Diligence, chaired by GOP foreign policy hand and member of the Nixon Center (now called CNI) Richard Burt, McCain’s adviser in 2000 and 2008.
In 2007 Burt left Diligence to join Henry Kissinger’s consulting firm (Kissinger is also honorary chairman of the pro-Russian think tank CNI).

Nathaniel “Nat” Rothschild bought a stake in corporate spying firm Diligence.
Deripaska was a client of Diligence. Possibly the most important service Diligence delivered to Deripaska was a “due diligence” report to the World Bank, which was used to approve a $150 million to a Deripaska subsidiary, the Komi Aluminum Project.
Getting the loan was useful in gaining Western investors confidence in RusAl (of Deripaska and Rothschild): http://exiledonline.com/kremlin-whores-how-mccain-staff-sold-countries-to-putin/

For some reason it’s very easy to find the connection of John McCain to the Clinton crime syndicate, but difficult to find the connections to Donald Trump. The first “search” results are about some feud between Trump and McCain, because Trump “exposed” that McCain was no war hero in Vietnam.
Of course our wonderful “search” engines aren’t expected to show that Manafort was once campaign manager to Trump, while Davis stayed with him even after Manafort resigned.
It's obvious that Clinton is close to McCain, as their supporter and friend - Lynn Forester de Rothschild - serves on the McCain Institute.

See Donald Trump, with his good friends Lynn Forester and her husband Andrew Stein in the 1980s.

In September 2008, when McCain was running to get Obama elected...
Donald Trump said on CNN’s Larry King Live and then repeated for FOX On the record:

Well, I have. And I've known him [John McCain] for a long time, and I've known Hillary for a long time.
(…)
But I've known Senator McCain for a long time. He's a great guy, a great man. He's just a very strong guy, a very strong leader, and he's very, very smart.
(…)
So I endorsed John McCain. I've known him for a long time. He's a brilliant guy, and I think he'll be a great president.

Trump on McCain choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate:

I think it was brilliant, and I think it is a great testament to him.
He took a chance on somebody, and it's been amazing, the response. I don't think I've seen a response like this that people have to her--some negative, but mostly positive.
And she's just amazing. And she has totally united the Republican Party like I've never seen before. It was a brilliant choice, and I think she'll be fantastic.

Donald Trump has also (written in 2008):

donated to McCain for years, and gave the legal maximum to the Arizona senator in May. The same month, the members of Trump’s family — wife Melania Knauss and children Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric — also gave McCain the maximum individual donation allowed under federal campaign finance laws.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/18/trump-endorses-mccain/

In 2011, Trump and Palin got a lot of publicity for meeting in a pizza joint in New York. Trump got criticised for eating his slice with knife and fork…
Sarah Palin has also worked for the FOX network of Jacob Rothschild’s and Jared Kushner’s friend - Rupert Murdoch.
In 2015, Palin interviewed Donald on her show “On Point”.

In 2016, when Donald supposedly had a feud with John McCain, Sarah Palin publicly endorsed Trump for president.
In early 2010, Palin was the keynote speaker at a National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee: https://www.npr.org/2016/01/23/464068087/how-sarah-palin-paved-the-way-for-donald-trump

For the feud that gave Donald Trump some additional press coverage and votes, Trump-backer Sheldon Adelson donated $1.2 million to Senator John McCain’s super PAC: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...gives-donation-to-super-pac-supporting-mccain
In 2008, Sheldon Adelson raised more than $200,000 for McCain: http://truth-out.org/buzzflash/comm...y-capitalist-the-sharks-are-eating-each-other

John McCain (like Trump) is also friends with Rockefeller’s favourite agent Henry Kissinger (that met Trump again a couple of days ago), who said:

John and I have been friends for 30 years. I have great confidence in him.

http://www.spiegel.de/international...-unpopularity-of-president-bush-a-535964.html

John McCain has also been spotted with Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, who has also donated to McCain: http://blogs.marketwatch.com/capito...hwarzman-meets-with-john-mccain/?link=instory

Wayne Lee Berman is a close friend of McCain and served as Finance Chairman of his 2008 presidential campaign, after being a senior advisor to the 2000 and 2004 Bush-Cheney campaigns.
Berman currently works for the Blackstone Group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Berman


Raffaello Follieri is an interesting story in its own right (including some great photos).
In February 2007, Follieri hired Davis and Manafort’s lobbying firm.

Follieri was involved in a multimillion dollar money laundering scheme with the Clinton Global Initiative of which the details have been obscured.
Doug Band introduced the con man Bill Clinton to Follieri, who pledged $50 million to the Clinton Global initiative. Band also introduced Follieri to Carlos Slim, then called “the richest man in the world”.

Follieri formed an investment partnership with long-time friend and donor of Clinton – billionaire Ron Burkle. In 2005, the Yucaipa Group of Burkle invested $50 million into Follieri’s money laundering scheme to buy and develop surplus real estate properties of the Catholic Church. Bill Clinton was senior adviser at Yucaipa.

Follieri’s connections went all the way to the top of the Vatican. Follieri introduced Anne Hathaway to Pope John Paul II - note the Masonic handshake.

Through another Clinton contact, Keith Stein, Band hooked Follieri up with Michael Cooper, whose Dundee Realty Corporation kicked in $6 million.
Follieri paid $400,000 to a shell company that Band had set up for a kick-back scheme. With that money in hand, Band and his brother Gregory made $4,600 contributions - the maximum allowed - to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Follieri's personal receipts later included $37,000 per month for an apartment with executive chef and private dog-walker, and a $107,000 jet rental for him and Hathaway to join the Clintons for New Year's Eve at Oscar de la Renta’s Dominican Republic estate.
See Hathaway, Follieri and Bill Clinton .

The Clintons were not amused when the scheme wasn’t a success.
Raffaello Follieri was forced to plead guilty to 8 counts of wire fraud and 5 counts of money laundering. Follieri admitted to redirecting at least $2.4 million of investor money to foreign personal bank accounts.
Anne Hathaway dumped Follieri like a bad habit.
Follieri spent 4 1/2 years in federal prison for defrauding investors, while the rest of the gang remained free of charges: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...aelo-Follieri-Bill-Clintons-inner-circle.html

Cambridge Analytica

Cambridge Analytica was the company that gave us Brexit and President Trump...
Cambridge Analytica is a subsidary of the SCL Group.

I don't think that this video can be seen much longer...
The best part of the video is Alexander Nix, who explains that they send people with a bribe or some girls to seduce the target (and leak the video).


EDIT - additional video by Cambridge Analytica whistleblower (former employee) Christopher Wylie, who explains how they dit it.
He also explains the important role of Aleksandr Kogan.
They not only used the "personal" Facebook data, but also information on the friends network.
For some reason Christopher Wylie has been blocked from Facebook and other social media...



Most media outlets claim that Robert Mercer is the largest shareholder in Cambridge Analytica.
Steve Bannon of Robert Mercer-owned media outlet Breitbart News joined the Board of Cambridge Analytica. Trump Advisor Kellyanne Conway also has close ties to Robert Mercer. Mercer funds Cambridge Analytica. At one time Michael Flynn worked for the parent company of Cambridge Analytica – SCL Group.

From shortly after its inception in 2005 until June 2015, the largest of the 15 shareholders of the UK Strategic Communications Laboratories Ltd. (in 2015 renamed to SCL Group) was Vincent Tchenguiz (so not Mercer).
Tchenguiz has been involved with the Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash, who was involved with (once Trump’s campaign manager) Paul Manafort: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...-Tax-Charges&p=6555024&viewfull=1#post6555024

There are also stories that the British authorities have started an investigation into Cambridge Analytica violating privacy, by using Facebook data...

Oligarchs, Mnuchin, movies and oil

Maybe all of this controversy over Trump’s team ties to Russia (while the ties to Britain are ignored...) is strange.
Even during the “Cold War” the relations between the US and USSR were very tight. See for example the ties between Rockefeller agent Henry Kissinger and Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin.


The following article details some of the “Putin” proxies that funnelled millions to Republican political campaigns.
In reality Moscow (like Washington) takes their orders from London...

In the 2015-16 election cycle, US-UK citizen Leonard “Len” Blavatnik was one of the largest donors to the Republicans. In the late '70s, Blavatnik's family emigrated from the USSR to the US.
In 2009-10, Blavatnik started donating to US political campaigns, during that season he contributed $53,400. His contributions increased to $135,552 in 2011-12 and $273,600 in 2013-14. During this period his contributions were fairly balanced across party lines.
In 2015-16, Blavatnik's political contributions soared to $6.35 million only to Republican action committees - including Senators Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham.
Blavatnik's AI-Altep Holdings donated $2 million to McConnell's PAC.

Viktor Vekselberg is one of the 10 richest men in Russia, and together with long-time business partner Blavatnik (they met at university in Russia.) hold a 20.5% stake in the Rusal of Oleg Deripaska and Nat Rothschild.
In 1990, Blavatnik and Vekselberg co-founded the Renova Group; one of their earliest investments was in Tyumen Oil Co. (TNK), founded in 1995. In 2003, TNK formed a joint venture with British Petroleum (BP). That relationship ended 10 years later when they sold to the state-controlled Rosneft.
Vekselberg has connections to at least 2 Americans that made large Republican campaign contributions.

Andrew Intrater has been reported as Vekselberg's cousin and is chief executive of Columbus Nova (Renova's US investment arm).
In January 2017, Intrater contributed $250,000 to Trump's Inaugural Committee. His gift got him invited to a dinner billed as "an intimate policy discussion with select cabinet appointees”.

From 1998 to 2003, oil magnate Simon Kukes worked for Vekselberg and Blavatnik as CEO of TNK. CIA documents released in 2003 claimed that TNK president Kukes "bribed local officials".
In 2016, Kukes contributed a total of $283,000, most of it to Trump’s Victory Fund.
In June 2003, Kukes resigned as CEO of TNK to join the board of Yukos Oil, at the time the largest oil company in Russia owned by the richest Russian, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Four months after Kukes joined the board, authorities arrested Khodorkovsky on trumped up charges of tax evasion to make Kukes the CEO.

In 2000, Alexander Shustorovich , chief executive of IMG Artists, tried to donate $250,000 to George W. Bush’s presidential campaign, but this was rejected.
Trump on the other hand gladly accepted Shustorovich's $1 million check to his Inaugural Committee.

From the start of the 2015-16 election cycle through September 2017, Blavatnik, Intrater, Shustorovich and Kukes made $10.4 million donations to US politicians (99% to Republicans).

Trump’s super PAC, Make America Number 1, was primarily funded by Robert Mercer. His Renaissance Technologies hedge fund also invested $15.5 million in Cambridge Analytica (subsidiary of the British SCL Group), the firm that Jared Kushner hired for $5.9 million to arrange Trump’s election.
Alexander Nix has confirmed that he asked Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to forward the Clinton-related emails. Assange said he declined: https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/...-proxies-helped-funnel-millions-gop-campaigns
(archived here: http://archive.is/zlfiu)


In 1993, Senator Mitch McConnell, who received $2 million from Lev Blavatnik, married Elaine L. Chao.
Elaine Chao (born in Taiwan) is Trump’s Secretary of Transportation; she earlier was an official in the Reagan administration and secretary of labor in both George W. Bush cabinets (from 2001 to 2009). Elaine Chao is also a member of the CFR.

Elaine’s father, James S.C. Chao, is a long-time friend of the president of China in the 1990s - Jiang Zemin (they were classmates at Jiao Tong University).
In August 2014, a ship of the Foremost Maritime Corporation of James Chao was caught with 40 kilograms (about ninety pounds) of cocaine on board.

Elaine Chao and McConnell are also connected to John Huang of the Indonesian Lippo Bank of the Riady family.
Lippo was at the centre of the Clinton “Chinagate” fundraising scandal, in which Lippo´s chief executive James T. Riady pled guilty to illegally donating to Bill Clinton.


Goldman Sachs, Bonesman Steve Mnuchin owned Hollywood financing company RatPac-Dune with Len Blavatnik.
Mnuchin sold his stake before becoming Treasury Secretary without disclosing to whom.

In April 2017, Blavatnik’s Access Entertainment purchased James Packer’s ownership share of RatPac Entertainment.
RatPac is a partner in RatPac-Dune Entertainment with Dune Entertainment, which was led by Steven Mnuchin. Since 2006, Dune partnered with Warner Brothers and Fox Filmed Entertainment (of Rothschild agent Rupert Murdoch).
Mnuchin was also co-chairman of movie company Relativity Media (co-owned by Brett Ratner and Packer), which distributed or financed nearly 200 motion pictures that were nominated for 60 Oscars.
Relativity founder Ryan Kavanaugh was sued for fraud and neglect, which involved porn photo shoots involving Dana Brunetti. Brunetti met gay paedophile Kevin Spacey in 1997, and became long-time partners, including working on several feature films.
In 2007, then Senator Hillary Clinton threw a fundraising party at Brett Ratner’s home, whose guest lists have included Paris Hilton (also close to Donald Trump).

Brett Ratner, co-owner of RatPac-Dune directed X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). Gay paedophile Bryan Singer had directed X-Men (2000) and its 2003 sequel. Singer’s and Spacey’s career took off with The Usual Suspects (1995), for which Spacey’s won his first Oscar.
In 2012, prominent Democratic fundraiser Ron Burkle purchased a large stake in Relativity. Bill Clinton has flown on his buddy Burkle’s private Boeing 757 that some refer to as “Air Fuck One.”

In 2000, Rothschild associates Oleg Deripaska and Roman Abramovich partnered to found RUSAL. Abramovich is the owner of investment company Millhouse LLC and is maybe best known as the owner of Chelsea Football Club. Blavatnik and Viktor Vekselberg hold a 15.8% joint stake in Rusal.
Blavatnik is the founder of Access Industries that now owns Warner Music Group. In 2015, Blavatnik was called Britain’s richest man (ignoring the Houses of Windsor and Rothschild…).

Benjamin Netanyahu has been suspected of fraud and bribes from Los Angeles producer Arnon Milchan, Australian billionaire James Packer, and others. Netanyahu’s son Yair flew on Packer’s private jet and stayed in hotels at Packer’s expense: http://www.conspiracyschool.com/blo...wood-sex-parties-and-russian-oligarchs-part-i

In 2003, BP formed a joint venture with the Russian Alfa–Access–Renova consortium (AAR) - TNK-BP - to explore, extract, refine and sell Siberian oil and gas. The joint venture generated more than £19 billion in dividends for BP and accounted for around a quarter of its total oil production.
In 2011, BP tried to form a strategic alliance with Russia’s largest state owned oil company - Rosneft. BP and Rosneft were forced to put their plans on hold after AAR obtained a High Court injunction against BP. In July 2012, the Russian courts awarded 100 billion roubles (about £2 billion) to AAR.
Rosneft eventually partnered with Exxon-Mobil and BP lost out on this opportunity.

On 18 October 2012, Rosneft bought out BP and AAR for a reported £56 billion deal, including a significant stake in Rosneft for BP: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=2cc65ae4-6b7f-4237-85c0-52fc4e4ea1e0

Rex Tillerson, who was recently unceremoniously dismissed (by tweet) as Secretary of State, was CEO of ExxonMobil…


From 1995 to 2000, Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton. The ties to Russia have been a little overlooked.
During the 5 years with Cheney’s as CEO, Halliburton was awarded $3.8 billion in government contracts or insured loans. During Cheney’s 5 years, government banks loaned or insured loans to Halliburton (most for its subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown and Root) worth $1.5 billion, compared to (only) $100 million during the previous 5 years.

For the refurbishment of the Siberian oilfield, the Tyumen oil company (TNK) was loaned $489 million from the US Export-Import Bank (after lobbying by Halliburton). Halliburton in return received $292 million for the refurbishments: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/jul/21/globalisation.georgebush
