WAYNE MADSEN : CIA Spent $1 Billion To Train 60 Members Of "Free Syrian Army"

Actual cost of training goat-herders was the going price for 60 submissive goats;  the rest went for 5 star CIA-appropriated hotels, the best coke and booze, high end prostitutes and a couple of private jets to fly them around in

WAYNE MADSEN REPORT

07/08/2015

A day after WMR reported on President Obama telling a Pentagon press conference that the United States "is speeding up the training of ISIL forces" in Iraq, seemingly a faux pas, which the Pentagon quickly deleted from the video posted on its website, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the United States has trained only 60 Syrian rebels to fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria. 

It is clear that Obama's woefully honest slip up and Carter's admission that a mere 60 Syrian rebels have been trained provides yet more evidence that the U.S., along with Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar, has been egging on ISIL in an attempt to redraw the borders of the Middle East to harm not only Syria and Iraq, but also Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Libya.

The Central Intelligence Agency has spent $1 billion to train so-called "moderate" members of the Free Syrian Army, which means that with a grand total of 60 rebels trained so far, the United States has spent some $16,500,000 million to train each Syrian rebel to date. That is typical "CIA math" which translates to much of the money budgeted to train the virtually non-existent Free Syrian Army going somewhere else via a series of slush funds. That "somewhere else," as indicated by U.S. weapons air drops to ISIL forces in Iraq's western Anbar province and Iraqi Kurdistan, is ISIL. The Israelis and Turks have been caught red-handed supplying ISIL and its allies with military, intelligence, and logistics support in Syria and Iraq. CIA director John Brennan, a former CIA station chief in Riyadh, has consistently supported Saudi objectives in the Middle East, including support for ISIL.

The ISIL steam roller shows no signs of slowing down. ISIL has carried out grisly attacks on Taliban forces in Afghanistan, where the Islamic State has made a pact with the Hezb-e-Islami forces under the command of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The CIA funded Hekmatyar during the mujaheddin war with the Soviets in the 1980s to the tune of a half-billion dollarts a year. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the CIA has spent $1 billion supposedly funding 60 Free Syrian Army rebels with the remainder being siphoned off to train ISIL in camps in Turkey and Jordan.

In 1987, the CIA provided Hekmatyar with short-range missiles that his forces fired into the then-Soviet republic of Tajikistan. With Tajikistan's U.S.-trained OMON Special Forces chief Colonel Gulmurod Khalimov now a top ISIL field commander, the CIA appears poised, once again, to use Hekmatyar and his forces to launch military attacks into Tajikistan, the home of a major Russian army base. Khalimov also received training in the United States from Blackwater* through its contract with the Department of State's Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program. Khalimov has vowed to return to the Tajik capital of Dushanbe to execute President Emomali Rahmon and thereafter return to the United States to "kill Americans" in their cities. The training of Khalimov and other OMON troops, some of whom may have joined Khalimov in ISIL, was a pet project of U.S. ambassador to Tajikistan Susan Elliott, career foreign service officer who was a favorite of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

There are now reports that ISIL will, on behalf of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the U.S., target another Arab country that has served as a mediator between the Arab states and Iran. Oman, whose sultan is in ill-health and may be facing a crucial succession, is on alert for a spillover of ISIL operations from neighboring Yemen into its Dhofar province. In the 1960s and 70s, Dhofar was the location of a protracted guerrilla war against Oman by local tribesmen. It now appears that ISIL, with help from the Saudis, Israelis, and others, is trying to re-ignite tribal tensions in Dhofar.

* In September 2010, WMR received a phone list containing the names and numbers of Blackwater employees. Although, the firm has changed its name and ownership, first to Xe Services, and now to Academi, the fact that Blackwater was tied to training individuals who are now threatening to kill Americans abroad and on the streets of American cities has caused us the re-evaluate our original decision to delete the names of the Blackwater personnel when we originally published the list. Since these employees may be witnesses to Blackwater's training of future terrorists, individuals like Khalimov, for example, it is in the public interest that these Blackwater personnel be named, in the very least, as sources of information on Blackwater's training of terrorists who now pose a significant threat to the safety of Americans and others at home and abroad.

Hillary Clinton Lied To CNN About Secret Email Use

Trey Gowdy "hearings" nothing more than a sham as was CNN's "interview"  

JUDICIAL WATCH
07/10/2015

During an interview this week with CNN, Hillary Clinton boldly claimed that her email scandal was no scandal at all. 

Bug-eyed, murdering demented mummy clearly 

not pleased with e-mail questions

She flatly declared, “everything I did was permitted. 

There was no law. There was no regulation. There was nothing that did not give me the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate.”

Mrs. Clinton certainly operated at the State Department as if “there was no law,” but she surely knows better. 

In fact, there is a lot of law, including criminal provisions, which governed her conduct.

Here is a partial list:

The Federal Records Act 

44 U.S.C. § 3102: Establishment of Program of Management

The head of each Federal agency shall establish and maintain an active, continuing program for the economical and efficient management of the records of the agency. The program, among other things, shall provide for

(2) cooperation with the Archivist in applying standards, procedures, and techniques designed to improve the management of records, promote the maintenance and security of records deemed appropriate for preservation, and facilitate the segregation and disposal of records of temporary value.

Ass-sucking CNN fraud Brianna Keilar conducted Clinton "interview"

44 U.S.C. § 3105: Safeguards

The head of each Federal agency shall establish safeguards against the removal or loss of records the head of such agency determines to be necessary and required by regulations of the Archivist. Safeguards shall include making it known to officials and employees of the agency–

(1) that records in the custody of the agency are not to be alienated or destroyed except in accordance with sections 3301-3314 of this title, and

(2) the penalties provided by law for the unlawful removal or destruction of records.

The Gowdy subpoena; so much for that lie

44 U.S.C. § 3106: Unlawful Removal, Destruction of Records

(a) FEDERAL AGENCY NOTIFICATION.—The head of each Federal agency shall notify the Archivist of any actual, impending, or threatened unlawful removal, defacing, alteration, corruption, deletion, erasure, or other destruction of records in the custody of the agency, and with the assistance of the Archivist shall initiate action through the Attorney General for the recovery of records the head of the Federal agency knows or has reason to believe have been unlawfully removed from that agency, or from another Federal agency whose records have been transferred to the legal custody of that Federal agency.

(b) ARCHIVIST NOTIFICATION.—In any case in which the head of the Federal agency does not initiate an action for such recovery or other redress within a reasonable period of time after being notified of any such unlawful action described in subsection (a), or is participating in, or believed to be participating in any such unlawful action, the Archivist shall request the Attorney General to initiate such an action, and shall notify the Congress when such a request has been made.

CNN - "Reality TV News"

74 Federal Register 51020 § 1222.34

“Agencies must implement a records maintenance program so that complete records are filed or otherwise identified and preserved,” and “records can be readily found when needed.”

44 U.S.C. 3105-06; 74 FR 51029, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) §§ 1220-1235, 1230.10, 1230.12 (2009)

Heads of federal agencies must “prevent the unlawful or accidental removal, defacing, alteration or destruction of records,” and “implement and disseminate policies and procedures to ensure that the records are protected against unlawful or accidental removal, defacing, alteration and destruction.”

44 U.S.C. § 3102: Establishment of Program of Management

The head of each Federal agency shall establish and maintain an active, continuing program for the economical and efficient management of the records of the agency. The program, among other things, shall provide for

(2) cooperation with the Archivist in applying standards, procedures, and techniques designed to improve the management of records, promote the maintenance and security of records deemed appropriate for preservation, and facilitate the segregation and disposal of records of temporary value.

74 FR 51017, NARA, § 1220.32(e)

“Records, regardless of format, are [to be] protected in a safe and secure environment and removal or destruction is carried out only as authorized in records schedules.”

74 FR 51029, NARA, § 1230.3(b)

“Removal means…transferring…or otherwise allowing a record to leave the custody of a Federal agency without the permission of the Archivist of the United States.”

Rebellion As Greeks Set To Pass Tougher Three - Year Rescue Package

Deal looks to be more severe than the proposal rejected by Sunday's referendum and - crucially - there is no mention of debt sustainability; should Tsipras betray Greek people following overwhelming "NO" vote on austerity and cave in to EU banksters, IMF rapists a rebellion is predicted by Greek media; CNN corporate frauds and hacks continue to shill for Junckers, Nazi Merkel, EU parliament anti-Greece terrorists    
AGENCIES

07/10/2015

The Greek parliament is set to sign off on austerity measures that were overwhelmingly rejected by the country in a referendum last weekend. 

Has Merkel won a new lease on the rape of Greece?

Anti-austerity demonstrators, many affiliated to the Communist party (KKE) are now gathering outside the parliament building in Syntagma Square to voice their backing for an 'Oxi' for austerity.

The Left Platform hard wing of Syriza have decided to back Mr Tsipras. Earlier today we heard that there were only 5 rebel MPs calling for a rejection of the terms. 

However, the remaining 65 or so will vote 'Yes' to the rescue deal giving the government a mandate to negotiate ahead of this weekend's emergency summits.

All eyes will be on Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem tomorrow. The Dutch finance minister has said finance ministers are due to put out a statement having gone through the proposals today. 

"We have to make a major decision. Whichever way" said Mr Dijsselbloem. 

Mr Dijsselbloem said before the referendum, it would be difficult to strike a deal with the current government, which had lost "credibility" in his eyes. 

Has Tsipras caved in to the EU banksters and IMF Nazis even after overwhelming "NO" referendum result on "austerity?"

But speaking to his Parliament today, he said broad support within the Greek parliament would also "give the proposals more credibility". 

"But we have to see whether the proposals will genuinely help pull Greece from the doldrums."

"I'll keep my final judgement for later. I'll first await the verdict from these institutions."

Were the PM's speeches before the EU parliament nothing more than stagecraft?

Mr. Tsakalotos has told his parliament that the government will secure a deal for a "bond swap" from creditors. This is likely to pay off the maturing bonds, worth around €6.5bn in July and August, held by the ECB. Greece owes the ECB €22bn overall as part of government debt owned by central bank after its 2012 bail-out. 

He has also urged his fellow MPs to vote for the compromise deal, insisting that there remain a number of "grey" areas to be sortedThe government has long argued that these bonds represent a big contingent liability on the state. In return, they are asking for a low interest-rate bearing loan from Europe's rescue funds to pay off all of that debt in one swoop. 

Has Greece been a proxy for the sellout of the entire EU to the IMF?

This is a form of debt relief, and one that would probably be more palatable to hawkish members of the eurozone as it doesn't technically reduce Greece's overall liabilities. It would however be one way of further extending maturities and reducing interest rate payments. 

It has also been a cornerstone of the proposals Yanis Varoufakis pushed for during his time in office. Mr Varoufakis has come out in support of it again today on Twitter:

@xgrigoriadis Sine qua non: debt restructure or no deal! Or so say I.

Reuters is reporting that the Greek banking system will need a massive injection of liquidity to stop going bust in the coming days if they are ever to re-open. 

Has Greece been handed over once more on a silver platter to the tender mercies of the EU criminal banksters for yet more rape and pillage?

They quote a banking source as saying: "There is a cushion of about €750m euros until" Monday. Moody's earlier today said deposits are due to run out by Sunday. They estimte that the banking system will need a €10-14bn in recapitalisation funds. 

National Bank, Piraeus, Eurobank and Alpha, which account for about 95 percent of the industry, will likely need to be recapitalised after an assessment by regulators and are not likely to return to a semblance of normalcy for months. 

Will the Greek people revolt if more "austerity" is imposed upon them? Will they allow themselves to be humiliated and raped once more by the EU banksters and IMF Nazis?

"There is an estimated need of about 10 to 14 billion euros in new capital," the banker said. "Given the magnitude of the shock we have been through, regulators will take stock of the situation and the impact on non-performing loans. A stress test by September would allow time for things to normalise."

Athens would seek to raise the money from private investors, but if it proves futile, banks may get a capital injection from the European Support Mechanism's Direct Recapitalisation Instrument (DRI), a new facility which has so far been unused.

Finland: We Won't Give Any More Money To Greece 

Speaking of the Finns, the country's foreign minister Timo Soini has said today that Finland will not fork out any more money to bail-out Greece. 

The Finns have a chequered history with the Greeks (read more here). As one of the "creditor" bloc countries which has been suffering from its own economic turmoil, the Finns are loath to hand out any more of their cash. 

Richard Byfält, a Finn, has got in touch to point out that the current government's manifesto read: "The Government is opposed to increasing Finland’s liabilities in handling the euro crisis. The primary means to handle the financial problems of a euro country are the country’s national measures to consolidate the economy and stabilise public finances."

Will the Greeks ask for another piece of the shit pie being served up by CNN deviant drug addict Richard Quest and their pro-EU corporate propagandists?

Mr Soini is reported to have said today: "These amounts, which are now talking about, would be a clear increase in responsibility." He has previously called Greece's bail-out a "ponzi scheme". 

The country's parliament will have to vote through any new ESM programme by an absolute majority. They could, in theory, be part of a group of hostile countries that could form a "blocking minority" 

Who Do The Rest Of Europe Think Is To Blame? 

A poll by YouGov finds that Finns are way ahead in their hardline against the Greek government, with nearly three-quarters of those polled laying the blame for the crisis as the feet of various Athens governments. 

Will the Greek people rise to defend the defenceless pensioners about to be raped once again by the EU bank criminals and IMF scum?

Germans interestingly are behind the Danes and Swedes (both not in the euro) in apportioning blame to Greece. The French meanwhile, are taking the equitable approach to blame sharing, with more than a third saying both creditors and Greece have been at fault.

Moody's: Banks Will Run Out Of Deposits By Sunday 

Credit rating agency Moody's estimates that Greek banks will now "exhaust their liquidity resources in the coming days" and estimate deposits will run out by Sunday. 

Will the Greek people allow themselves to be 

raped once more by the banks with a bogus

"haircut" which is nothing more than a code

word for the outright theft of their money?

They note that Eurosystem funding for Greek banks (€126bn) –now exceeds the level of private deposits (€120bn) – which means the financial system is now almost entirely being propped by emergency cash, raising severe doubts about their solvency. 

Even with a new rescue, Moody's "expect banks’ asset quality to deteriorate significantly and for them to require recapitalisation, with or without a third bail-out." 

They also add that the proposed reforms will be very difficult for the government to implement in full. 

If a political agreement on a third programme is reached, we believe implementation risks will remain high and the conditions under which external finance is provided will be harder to absorb because of the political and social challenges in the country. 

If no agreement is reached, the risk of Greece leaving the euro area – either as part of a managed exit supported by the EU, or as a disorderly process – would be high. Given the heightened uncertainty as negotiations have dragged on – and especially since capital controls have been introduced – the macroeconomic outlook has deteriorated significantly. The Greek economy is now likely to shrink quite sharply this year, rather than see a modest contraction.
