Friday 22 July 2016 at 10:30am EDT, WikiLeaks released over 2 publications 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee — part one of our new Hillary Leaks series.

“[…] but the FBI never requested access to the DNC’s computer servers,” Eric Walker, the DNC’s deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News.

The FBI instead relied on the assessment from a third-party security company called CrowdStrike.”

Crowdstrike’s assessment is that Russia is responsible for the hack, but they were not alone. Media outlets, such as REUTERS chimed in with their impeccable, yet totally unnamed, sources can confirm these claims.

A U.S. official involved in the investigation said that the classified information collected on the hack so far “indicated beyond a reasonable doubt that it originated in Russia.”

Jim Lewis, a cyber security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington stated

Usually, the Russians are not ham-handed,” He said Russia was believed to have hacked Democratic and Republican campaigns in 2008, but that it did not leak material.

And even went on to make the very politically, savvy prediction

“It would be a bold move to try and shape the election, but we can’t rule it out,” Lewis said.

Whether or not that was the primary point he was trying to get across or if it was merely a response to a question posed at the tail end of an informal interview, but that appears to be a foreshadowing statement that wouldn’t typically be made by the professionals actually doing the official investigation. (Which we have now come to find out never took place. Possibly because prior investigations going so poorly?

They’ve been silent since Dec. 16, even as Sony reversed its decision to cancel the release of “The Interview” — a movie that depicts a couple of bumbling Americans recruited by the CIA to assassinate North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un.

At this point, alarm bells were going off as things were not adding up, especially when weighed against the veracity at which the media and Washington D.C. were throwing accusations at another country and with such very little evidence. Especially considering how badly the prior investigation had missed coupled with the MEDIA BLACKOUT attempting to bury the only truly verifiable news information being circulated… The Wikileaks! The Wikileaks provided hard evidence that the DNC was colluding to ensure that Bernie Sanders never had a fair opportunity to win the nomination. Clearly a pretty significant impact on the overall outcome of the election in my opinion.

I did what any sane and logical person would NEVER do in a OVERLY politically correct society… I took to social media to express my concern. Too many things were not adding up in my mind. I didn’t care what the risk was to my “social” identity or how irritated it may make MY ENTIRE family (kidding).

Now we come to the next set of leaks… The Podesta emails.

This time it would be different. The many other people across the country that were having the same kind of trouble as myself couldn’t look the other way. Forcing myself to live another reality wasn’t option. We took to the internet and we did in such a way that I would have never thought possible. There was no turning back. Before I’d even had a chance to realize what was happening, I was digging through hundreds of thousands of documents, chasing the latest lead being offered by a fellow citizen journalist. We may have all served a very minor roll, but nonetheless, we were uncovering the news that would eventually go on to be used by all the major media outlets including Wikileaks themselves.

NEW WIKILEAKS! Podesta Emails part two: 2,000 more emails… Post what you find below

See also: WIKILEAKS CENTRAL STATION

Start here: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/785474021211140096 Findings

  • EMAILID 2170 Attachment How to make $8 Million campaign debt disappear for Hillary? For example by “renting voter and donor information lists” from the Hillary 2008 campaign. Renting them with other organizations that they control, thus funneling money back into the campaign to cancel the debt. This was outlined in a memo, but they actually did it. With HillPAC for example (investigated by a journalist at The Intercept).
  • EMAILID 2783 Hillary took foreign money. The implication through Huma is she knew about it and solicited it. FARA stands for the Foreign Actors Registration Act Huma said…”we had decided to accept it wanted to know who the individuals are and (Hillary) wants to weigh in”
  • EMAILID 3990 “Beyond this Hillary should stop attacking Bernie, especially when she says things that are untrue, which candidly she often does. I am one of the people with credibility to suggest Bernie people support her in November, and she and Benenson and others have no idea of the damage she does to herself with these attacks, which she does not gain by making.”
  • EMAILID 2953 Too afraid to ask for Bernie’s medical records. Knowing Hillary’s medical records are much worse.
  • EMAILID 2485 Names of some big money Democrat donors.
  • EMAILID 2301 A famous but unnamed journalist is warning about how “Clinton’s sex life” could cause problems because “sources close to the Clintons” are telling him exactly that. Attempts are made to shut up these sources internally, because Bill Clinton sex “allegations are hurting both Clintons” LOL
  • EMAILID 3782 HRC Campaign thanking Univision’s owner Haim Saban for its moderators handling of Hillary against Sanders. Things were a bit rigged against Bernie?
  • EMAILID 1786 Preparing for huge attacks on Bernie Sanders : “Sanders once wrote that men fantasize about women being on their knees and women fantasize about being raped by three men simultaneously.”
  • EMAILID 2535 Hillary Camp prepares for hard-hitting interview with MSNBC “journalist”, they prepare sections of text for her. They call the whole thing “tax hit”, meaning the thing is supposed to be some hit piece against Bernie (possibly). This is early 2016, so during the fighting against Bernie. HRC then proceeds to read sections almost verbatim from these prepared remarks : compare this video to the text .
  • EMAILID 3154 Discussion about the emails. Should Hillary make a joke about the emails? She shouldn’t because “We don’t know what’s in the emails, so we are nervous about this. Might get a big laugh tonight and regret it when content of emails is disclosed. “- Mandy Grunwald . Better not to joke about the “emails” (turns out the email case was really about how she exposed classified TOP SECRET/SAP information through the “emails” to the following people: Combetta, Pagliano, all of her lawyers, all of Platte River Network maybe a few janitors. )
  • EMAILID 2631 Hillary’s stance on the Defense of Marriage Act revealed, 2015 October “I’m not saying double down or ever say it again. I’m just saying that she’s not going to want to say she was wrong about that, given she and her husband believe it and have repeated it many times. Better to reiterate evolution, opposition to DOMA when court considered it, and forward looking stance.”
  • EMAILID 2372 Hillary campaign scared shitless, about the NYT. Maybe they will report meetings with a PAC “So afraid that NYT is going with this story on Priorities whether we like or not. They have sources about the meetings. Honestly, it sounds like Priorities staff was yapping.” Did the NYT go with it? (They didn’t, they are in the tank). Language suggests meetings took place, there was coordination with Priorities PAC.
  • EMAILID 2676 Probably the moment when they figured out how to destroy all of the emails: “When I worked for the leadership we had a records retention policy to actively destroy all emails after 3 or 6 months . Each office made up its own policy. ” So if you just change your policy to something “made up”, you get to destory all the evidence after the fact. BLEACHBIT TIME

Eventually the information being uncovered was beyond believable for any normal (((normie))) individual to comprehend. To fully understand the the information flow and digging for answers actively yourself.

Ahhh but then it got better! The Hillariously predicable Clinton camp went on the aggressive and got away with it! These ARE the Clintons we are talking about here… Bill had no problems with deception and lies before when he WAS the president, It didn’t seem likely that the change of heart would happen anytime before the election was over (or quite possibly ever). THEY INTRODUCED THE MEME FAKE NEWS and WARNED against it. As if it would be as bad as trump supporters NOT ACCEPTING THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION. It was a smart move on her end though, I will say, it did keep the majority of people in my social circles away from the information.

Hillary Clinton warns of ‘fake news epidemic’ — BBC News

Fake News virtually didn’t exist on the internet prior to October 2013

And so fast forward to present day and you have the same lousy media spreading totally wild claims and people STILL falling for it as if they are captive to these operatives.Are we as a society so highly susceptible to the hold these people have on our daily lives that we not only fall for it, but continually ALLOW it to happen? Are there some that are not motivated to do their part to at least be informed and in control of the information they allow themselves to believe? Do some feel its more important to get along with everyone than it is to raise an issue that may be unpopular at the time? How can you be certain that the the current culture or norms are not based entirely on facts, but rather how “facts” are presented to you and by whom. Or what facts are ignored.

LIKE THE ONE IN MAY 2015 — Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal

What is ultimate the hardest thing for people to understand, is that the Majority of people who find themselves in similar position as myself are not politically motivated people. We don’t have aspirations for anything in politics other than keeping politics out our lives and wanting nothing more than liberty, peace and justice for the betterment of all.

So when I see news outlets like Buzzfeed EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Screenshots Reveal BuzzFeed Director Wishing for Trump Assassination having discussions about assassinating the president AND publishing fake news stories of Trump giving Russian hookers a golden shower… I just think to myself… how pathetic those people are and how unfortunate they are to have missed out on one of the most amazing experiences that will never happen again. They know only one way and that’s the way of Hillary… Don’t even show up to give a concession speech because the class, character and quality are simply not there.

With all that being said…. It does beg the question: will James Julio be able to come in and save the day if all other attempts at diplomacy fail? Possibly Katy Perry?

Or could it be that the real “Interview” is playing out before our very eyes as Trump attempts to court the North Korean leader saying he would be ‘Honored’ to meet Kim Jong-un. If he were to arrange a sit down, one that would almost certainly determine the foreign dictators fate, the levels of irony at play would only be something that I’d come to expect in this day and age.

CONFIRMED: Hillary’s Brother Sits on the Board of a Mining Company that Scored an Extremely Rare “Gold Exploitation Permit” in Haiti as Hillary and Bill Clinton Disbursed Billions of U.S. Taxpayer Dollars in Haiti

The Washington Post confirms the accuracy of Clinton Cash’s revelation that Hillary Clinton’s brother, Tony Rodham, serves on the board of a mining company that scored a coveted and lucrative “gold exploitation permit” in Haiti as then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton were doling out billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars in the wake of the Haiti earthquake.

According to the Post, Rodham’s mining company “won one of the first two gold-mining permits the Haitian government had issued in more than 50 years,” just as Clinton Cash reveals.

The Wall Street Journal confirms the book’s revelation that another foreign donation, one by Canadian mining executive Stephen Dattels, made a hidden donation of two million shares in Polo Resources that the Clinton Foundation chose not to disclose in violation of the Memorandum of Understanding the Clintons signed with the Obama administration.

“About two months later, the U.S. ambassador to Bangladesh pushed the energy adviser to that nation’s prime minister to allow ‘open pit mining,’ including in Phulbari Mines, where Polo Resources has a stake,” reports the Journal.

The New York Times confirms, “The sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.”

CONFIRMED: Bill Clinton was Paid by a For-Profit Education Company Laureate While the Company Benefitted from an Increase in Funding from Hillary’s State Dept.

Bloomberg has confirmed that, as reported in Clinton Cash, Bill Clinton was paid by “Laureate International Universities, part of Laureate Education, Inc,” a position he abruptly resigned from on Friday.

Bloomberg’s examination confirms that “in 2009, the year before Bill Clinton joined Laureate, the nonprofit received 11 grants worth $9 million from the State Department or the affiliated USAID. In 2010, the group received 14 grants worth $15.1 million. In 2011, 13 grants added up to $14.6 million. The following year, those numbers jumped: IYF received 21 grants worth $25.5 million, including a direct grant from the State Department.”

The company nor the Clintons will release the exact amounts Bill received for working for the controversial for-profit education company.

CONFIRMED: Bill Clinton Delivered Numerous Speeches Paid for By Individuals and Corporations with Pending Business Before Hillary’s State Dept.

ABC News has confirmed Clinton Cash’s reporting that myriad businesses and individuals paid Bill Clinton to deliver speeches even as their companies had business on Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s desk.

ABC News noted it found “an instance where paid and unpaid speaking appearances were conflated,” but that Clinton Cash’s essential “premise” is “supported by records” ABC News independently analyzed.

CONFIRMED: Bill Clinton Lied about Hosting a Meeting with Frank Giustra and Kazakh Nuclear Officials at Clinton’s Home in Chappaqua, New York

New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Jo Becker confirmed in a one-hour Fox News television special on Clinton Cash that Bill Clinton lied when questioned about whether Clinton, Giustra, and executives from the Kazakh-owned nuclear company Kazatomprom ever met in Clintons’ home.

“When I first contacted both the Clinton Foundation — Mr. Clinton’s spokesman — and Mr. Giustra, they denied any such meeting ever took place,” said Becker.

“And then when we told them, ‘Well we already talked to the head of Kazatomprom, who not only told us all about the meeting, but actually has a picture of him and Bill at the home in Chappaqua, and that he proudly displayed it on his office wall.’ They then acknowledged that yes, the meeting had taken place.”

As Politico concludes, “Hillary’s Clinton Cash dismissal is dead in the water.”

*Politico article*
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/04/hillarys-clinton-cash-dismissal-is-

Clinton Cash, is a feature documentary based on the Peter Schweizer book that the New York Times hailed as “The most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.”

Clinton Cash investigates how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke” after leaving the White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with over $2 billion in donations to their foundation. This wealth was accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors.
