Collusion? Russians Gave $35 Million to Company with John Podesta on Board
Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, John Podesta, played a
central role in another potential Russian collusion scandal that has not
yet been investigated.
Podesta, the former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, served on the board of Joule Unlimited, a now defunct alternative energy company, from January 2011 to January 2014. He resigned from the company’s board to accept the powerful job of Counselor to President Barack Obama.
During Podesta’s tenure on the board of Joule Unlimited, a
significant investment in the company by a firm owned by the Russian
government escaped review and scrutiny by the Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

Clinton, Podesta And Others In Senate Crosshairs Over Dossier; Given Two Weeks To Respond
Tuesday, January 9, 2018
WikiLeaks: John Podesta Was Briefed On "Gross Negligence" Before FBI Removed Phrase From Clinton Exoneration
Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, John Podesta, received an email from an advisor
which brought up the phrase "gross negligence" in regards to the FBI's
email investigation before the FBI agent in charge of the probe removed
the phrase from her exoneration statement, according to WikiLeaks.
President Donald Trump believes special counsel Robert Mueller will treat him fairly in his ongoing investigation, but he is curious why charges have not yet been filed against democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta.
“Whatever happened to Podesta?,” the president asked during a wide-ranging New York Times interview published Thursday. “[T]hey closed their firm, they left in disgrace, the whole thing, and now you never heard of anything.”
Trump referenced the apparent scrutiny the Podesta Group is under by Mueller’s team for lobbying work it did in the U.S. on behalf of former Ukranian leader Viktor Yanukovych. The lobbying reportedly resembles the same activity former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was indicted for by the special counsel.
The Podesta Group, once headed by brother of former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, is likely to close by the end of this year. His brother, Tony Podesta, stepped down from his position at the firm in late October.
You won't believe how many incredible things are happening right NOW. And a whole bunch of it is quantifiable. If your name it "Hillary Clinton" or "John Podesta" or "Tony Podesta", you should be sh#tting your pants right now. Because according to #Qanon we are seeing the Trump Patriot deep state counter coup against the Satanic elite. Investigative journalist Liz Crokin joins me to discuss.

This article is Part 2 in a series of three articles investigating the Seth Rich murder. Read Part 1 HERE.
Part 1 developed the following: Hillary’s campaign, lax on cybersecurity and working with the DNC to make sure Sanders did not have a chance of winning, invited multiple attacks from both hackers on the outside and from leakers on the inside.
Part 2 makes clear the multiple hacks and multiple leaks that plagued Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign came from multiple sources.
The breakthrough in this series of articles is the attempt to apply intelligence analytical techniques to sort out the various known cybersecurity attacks on the Democrats during the 2016 presidential campaign to determine the rogue agent responsible for each separate known cybersecurity attack.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign was hit by so many hack attacks and so many leaks, the CSI problem is almost impossible to decipher.
By election day, Hillary Clinton’s electronic campaign began to resemble a corpse killed by multiple gunshot wounds.
The pattern of wounds upon wounds evident in the corpse were so combined and so confused, it is today hard to tell – if not impossible – how precisely many shooters there were or who fired the fatal round.
To sort this out, we begin with the first hack attack on Clinton emails, the hack that began with Guccifer in March 2013.
March 2013: Guccifer, the first hacker
In March 2013, a Romanian hacker Marcel Lazar, who went by the username “Guccifer,” a combination of “Gucci” and “Lucifer,” shocked the world by the revelation Hillary Clinton had utilized a private email server while secretary of state.
On March 15, 2013, the Smoking Gun broke the story, disclosing that Guccifer had spent the past several months “breaking into the e-mail accounts of family, friends, and political allies of the Bush family,” only to “cross party lines” and illegally access the AOL account of a former senior White House advisor to former President Bill Clinton, then 64-year-old Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confident of Hillary Clinton.
Guccifer entertained himself by reading the cache of Blumenthal emails that went back to 2005, with emails sent to “an array of Washington insiders, including political operatives, journalists, and government officials.”
When he realized some of the emails between Blumenthal and Hillary involved an email address Hillary used, hdr22@clintonemail.com — causing Guccifer a “WOW” moment when he realized the initials matched Clinton’s maiden name, Hillary Diane Rodham – and the email address “clintonemail.com” revealed the use of a private, unsecured email server.
During an interview given in Romania in 2015, Guccifer then in prison commented to a reporter that he accessed in Hillary’s hacked emails memos that Clinton got as secretary of state, with CIA briefings attached.
“I used to read her memos for six or seven hours then I’d get up and do the gardening in the yard,” Guccifer said.
Guccifer never published a trove of Clinton emails, tending to be more malicious than politically motivated, as demonstrated in March 2013, when he hacked Colin Powell’s AOL email account and defaced Powell’s Facebook page with an anti-Bush diatribe.
In June 2013, after Clinton had left office as secretary of state, the private server was moved from the Clintons’ Chappaqua home to a data center in northern New Jersey, where it was maintained by Platte River Networks in Denver; in early 2014, Platte River Network staff uploads Hillary’s emails to a Gmail account and then transfers them over to a Platte River Network server.
That Hillary had used a private server at the State Department was largely ignored until the New York Times ran a front page article on March 2, 2015, reporting that Clinton had turned over 55,000 pages of emails from her personal server to comply with federal record-keeping practices as required by the Federal Records Act.
In the period March 25-31, 2015, Platte River Staff member Paul Combetta realized he forgot to wipe Hillary’s email archive from the Platte River Network server, as he had been advised to do by Hillary aide Monica Hanley the previous December.
Now desperate, Combetta decided to use BleachBit software to wipe Hillary’s emails from the Platte River Network server, despite a subpoena Hillary received from the House Select Committee on Benghazi on March 4, 2015, instructing Clinton to preserve and deliver all emails from her personal servers.
The thousands of Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails that have been made public have resulted not from Guccifer’s hacking efforts in 2013, or from the private email server Pagliano set up for Clinton in Chappaqua, or from the Platte River Network server) to which Hillary’s State Department-era emails were transferred.
All Hillary Clinton emails from her term as Secretary of State that are public today have come either from Judicial Watch FOIA requests, or from various subpoenas Clinton was issued in Congressional investigations.
The Clinton emails that have been made public were archived as they were being released on the Judicial Watch website and on the U.S. Department of State website.
Guccifer was arrested in Romania on Jan. 22, 2014, and convicted to four years in prison, where he remained until he was extradited to the United States in March 2016 to face U.S. federal criminal charges.
On Sept. 1, 2016, a U.S. district judge in Alexandria, Virginia, sentenced Guccifer to four years in federal prison, after he pleaded guilty to one count each of aggravated identity theft and unauthorized access to a protected computer.
What this timeline makes clear is that the Podesta emails dating through May 25, 2015, published by WikiLeaks starting in October 2016, could not possibly have resulted from Guccifer’s 2013 hacking efforts, if only because Guccifer/Marcel Lazar has been in prison non-stop since he was arrested in Romania in January 2014.
It should also be clear that the source of the Podesta emails published by WikiLeaks in October 2016 could not have resulted from someone hacking the Pagliano server.
The Pagliano server remained unplugged in storage in New Jersey from June 2013 until the FBI seized it in August 2015.
In late-March 2015, the Platte River Network servers were scrubbed of all Hillary emails making it impossible for Podesta emails dated in May 2015 to have been hacked from that source.
The “Russian Hack” and Guccifer 2.0
On June 14, 2016, the Washington Post reported Russian government hackers had penetrated the DNC computer network, gaining access to the entire database of opposition research on GOP candidates – an article that cited unnamed “U.S. officials” who claimed the intrusion into the DNC was one of several targeting “American political organizations,” including the computer networks of the Clinton and the Trump campaign “targeted by Russian spies,” as well as computers of various GOP PACs.
“I completely rule out a possibility that the(Russian) government or the government bodies have been involved in this,” Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman told Reuters in Moscow, on the same date.
The next day, June 15, 2016, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, Inc. posted a notice on its website that two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries began hacking DNC computers in May 2016.
The CrowdStrike posting noted that on June 15, 2016, a blog post to a WordPress site “authored by an individual using the moniker Guccifer 2.0” claimed credit for breaching the DNC.
“Whether or not this posting is part of a Russian Intelligence disinformation campaign, we are exploring the documents’ authenticity and origin,” CrowdStrike commented.
“Regardless, these claims do nothing to lessen our findings relating to the Russian government’s involvement, portions of which we have documented for the public and the greater security community,” CrowdStrike concluded.
In the June 15, 2016 posting on WordPress, Guccifer 2.0 revealed he had advance warning of the CrowdStrike conclusions ready to be posted the next day.
“Worldwide known cyber security company CrowdStrike announced that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) servers had been hacked by ‘sophisticated’ hacker groups,” Guccifer 2.0 wrote under the heading “DNC’s Servers Hacked by Lone Hacker.”
Guccifer 2.0 bragged that hacking the DNC’s servers was “easy, very easy.”
“Guccifer (Marcel Lazar) may have been the first one who penetrated Hillary Clinton’s and other Democrats’ mail servers,” Guccifer 2.0 noted. “But he certainly wasn’t the last. No wonder any other hacker could easily get access to the DNC’s servers.”
Then Guccifer 2.0 bragged: “Shame on CrowdStrike: Do you think I’ve been in the DNC’s networks for almost a year and saved only 2 documents? Do you really believe it? Here are just a few docs from the many thousands I extracted when hacking into the DNC’s networks.”
On June 15, 2016, Guccifer 2.0 published on WordPress an opposition research report the DNC wrote on Donald Trump, marked “Confidential,” and dated Dec. 19, 2015; several pages of donor lists, suggesting Guccifer 2.0 may have breached the NGP database; but no emails.
Guccifer 2.0 claimed he sent the main part of the hacked documents, “thousands of files and mails,” to WikiLeaks, bragging that WikiLeaks “will publish them soon.”
From June 15, 2015, through Oct. 18, 2016, Guccifer 2.0 published a series of documents, making it clear he had extensive access to DNC internal memorandums and donor lists.
But what was missing in the Guccifer 2.0 publication of DNC hacked documents were emails, suggesting Guccifer 2.0 had not penetrated the DNC email server, or the private email archives of John Podesta and other Clinton campaign officials.
Also absent from the Guccifer 2.0 publications of DNC hacked documents were any documents prepared by the Clinton campaign.
The Guccifer 2.0 controversy flared again when the Wall Street Journal published on May 25, 2017, published an article claiming Guccifer 2.0 had sent Aaron Nevins, a GOP Republican consultant in Florida, 2.5 gigabytes of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (housed in the same building with the DNC) documents, some of which Nevins published on a blog HelloFLA.com that Nevins ran using a pseudonym.
Nevins told the Wall Street Journal he set up a Dropbox account “so whoever was using the Guccifer 2.0 name could send large amounts of material.”
This episode confirms that Guccifer 2.0 had hacked only the DNC computers, the donor data in the VAN computer servers in Massachusetts, and the data in the NPG computer servers in Washington.
Guccifer 2.0 confirms this in a post to his WordPress site posted on Jan. 12, 2017, in which Guccifer 2.0 wrote the following: “I already explained at The Future of Cyber Security Europe conference that took place in London in last September, I had used a different way to breach into the DNC network. I found a vulnerability in the NGP VAN software installed in the DNC system.”
Note also that Guccifer 2.0 is a different person than the first Guccifer, Marcel Lazar, whose hacking capabilities have been severely limited during his continuing imprisonment that began with his arrest in Romania in January 2014.
Give that the WikiLeaks publication of hacked documents that began in October 2016 – the hacked document dump the Clinton campaign, the FBI, and the U.S. intelligence agencies want to blame on Russia – consists almost entirely of emails from Podesta and others related to the Clinton campaign and/or the Clinton Foundation, it is extremely unlikely Guccifer 2.0 was the source, regardless how many assertions U.S. intelligence makes that Guccifer 2.0 was a Russian agent – something Guccifer 2.0 continues to deny.
U.S. intelligence blames WikiLeaks on Russians
The CrowdStrike post dated June 15, 2016, explained their experts had identified the “sophisticated adversaries” attacking the DNC computers as “Cozy Bear” and “Fancy Bear” – both identified by CrowdStrike as “Russian-based.”
On Jan. 6, 2017, the office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report entitled, “Background to ‘Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections’: The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution.”
This report concluded “with high confidence” that Russian military intelligence “used the Guccifer 2.0 persona” to release the Podesta files to WikiLeaks, but the report also admitted the identification of the origin of a cybersecurity attack was “difficult” based only on “tradecraft” that relies on circumstantial evidence at best, presuming a hacker leaves a signature, such that cyberattacks like “Cozy Bear” and “Fancy Bear” can be reliably be attributed to Russian intelligence operatives.
On March 7, 2017, WikiLeaks released 8,761 documents on the CIA’s “global covert hacking program” that included documents from a project called “Umbrage” proving the CIA could launch “false flag” cyberattacks and make them look as if they originated from other countries, such as Russia.
“The CIA’s Remote Devices Branch’s UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques ‘stolen’ from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation,” WikiLeaks noted.
“When UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the ‘fingerprints’ of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from,” WikiLeaks continued.
In December 2016, after Clinton had lost the election, John Podesta said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the first time he was contacted by the FBI was two days after Oct. 7, 2016, the date WikiLeaks started dropping his emails.
If the FBI had no reason to believe the then-known hacks of Clinton’s private email server and the DNC had also breached Podesta’s email files until after WikiLeaks began publishing Podesta’s emails, this strongly suggests the person who leaked Podesta’s emails was not Guccifer, Guccifer 2.0, “Cozy Bear,” or “Fancy Bear,” but a separate and distinct incident, likely carried off by someone not previously identified.
Yet, to date, the U.S. intelligence agencies have insisted on lumping together all hacks of the Democrats during the 2016 presidential, blaming the Russians for every hacking incident, regardless of the content released by the hack or the target data source known to have been hacked.
What seems likely is the FBI had no idea Podesta emails had been hacked (or leaked) until WikiLeaks started publishing them.
Yet, despite this intelligence failure, U.S. intelligence agencies took their fallback position, concluding the Russians must have hacked Podesta’s emails too.
On Dec. 30, 2016, after the presidential election was over, then-President Obama took a step to implant the “Russian interference” meme into the U.S. mainstream media, by expelling 35 Russians from the United States and ordered sweeping new sanctions as retaliation, stressing that U.S. intelligence services believe Russia had ordered cyberattacks on the DNC.
Interestingly, there was an earlier expulsion of Russian diplomats during the 2016 presidential convention.
On July 8, 2016, the Obama administration expelled two Russian diplomats from the United States supposedly in retaliation for a Russian police guard who had tackled a U.S. diplomat outside the American Embassy in Moscow in a scuffle that was captured on security footage and broadcast on Russian television.
Anonymous, in a video released May 24, 2015, provides an alternative explanation why these two diplomats were expelled.
Anonymous claimed Mikhail Fradkov, the head of Russia’s SVR intelligence agency from Oct. 6, 2006 to Oct. 5, 2016, authorized an emergency contact with the U.S. State Department on July 7, 2016, to reveal the details of Seth Rich’s breach of Podesta’s emails and the subsequent danger to his life, only to find themselves expelled immediately.
Fox News host Sean Hannity got suspended over the Memorial Day holiday following a series of broadcasts beginning March 12, 2017, in which Hannity appeared to be advancing what is being termed the “WikiLeaks’ conspiracy theory.”
This theory suggests U.S. intelligence agencies hacked Hillary’s email server, the DNC, the VGP-VAN database, and Podesta’s emails, in a “false flag” that used tradecraft leaving cyberattack “fingerprints” that traced back to the Russians.
On the broadcast March 12, 2017, two former U.S. intelligence operatives, Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer and former NSA official William Binney, told Hannity that retired NSA intelligence officers were responsible for hacking the DNC.
“Sean, we did it [hack the DNC], not me, but our guys—former members of NSA, retired intelligence officers used these tools to break in there and get the information out. That’s what the Democrats don’t want to talk about because it doesn’t fit their narrative,” Shaffer explained.
The U.S. Intelligence agencies have assumed the Russian government hacked the Democrats because Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to win.
But there is well-documented proof the Russians had been paying Hillary Clinton through the Clinton Foundation for her decision as secretary of state to support the Frank Giustra ploy that resulted in Russia getting control of 20 percent of the uranium in the United States, while Russia was using a shell company in the Netherlands to pay Podesta in stock for supporting the “technology transfer” to Russia the Obama administration had authorized under Secretary Clinton’s “reset” initiative.
How would Russia know in advance that hacking Hillary, Podesta, and the DNC would turn up sufficiently damaging documentary evidence to throw the election for Trump?
Why would Putin want Trump to be president, when the Russians had invested millions during the Obama administration to establish their blackmail potential to control the actions of both Clinton and Podesta, starting the minute Hillary took the oath of office as president of the United States?
Despite all the U.S. intelligence and Democratic Party hoopla, the fact remains there is no irrefutable proof the Russians hacked Hillary Clinton or the DNC during the 2016 presidential campaign, nor is there any proof the Russians accessed John Podesta’s email account.
So far, the “Russian Collusion” meme implicating Trump in a supposed Russian hacking scheme is nothing more than a lame Clinton excuse for losing.
In the final analysis, if Hillary and the DNC had not conspired to steal the nomination from Sanders, and if Podesta’s emails were not so filled with dark brooding and scheming (often aimed at HRC herself), it would not have mattered their documents were hacked, leaked, and published.
The dark, dirty truth is that Hillary Clinton could not sustain the revelation to the American people of the truth Podesta and the DNC spoke in private, almost every day, as they schemed to put Hillary in the White House.
Hillary even today refuses to acknowledge the problems that continue to dog her White House ambitions, ranging from Benghazi, to the Clinton Foundation, to her handling of classified material transmitted over her private email server, to name just a few.
John Podesta, the embattled former campaign chair for Hillary Clinton, is pushing a fake conspiracy theory implying that President Trump calls Infowars to discuss PizzaGate.
The irony is that Podesta, who came under fire after Wikileaks released thousands of emails linking him to “Spirit Cooking” and other bizarre rituals, pushed his conspiracy theory while blasting the epidemic of “conspiracy theories.”
“…Trump peddles [PizzaGate], his people peddle it, Bannon peddles it, Breitbart peddles it… you know, he still calls Alex Jones and talks to him and… Infowars,” he said in a panel discussion entitled The Hacked Election, a name of which refers to the conspiracy theory that Russia “selected” Trump.
Skip to the 20:36 mark.
He also claimed people who “largely live in reality and in the mainstream media world” are likely unfamiliar with Infowars.
But if Podesta was actually paying attention, he would have noticed the discussion around PizzaGate largely occurred on Reddit, 4Chan and Twitter – but not Infowars.
And a quick search of Breitbart.com found scant reporting on the subject except for wire news reports, such as a UPI article Breitbart reposted about a man firing a gun inside the pizza place at the center of the controversy.
Additionally, President Trump doesn’t appear to have ever tweeted anything about PizzaGate, despite Twitter serving as his main bullhorn.
Podesta’s other assertion that the mainstream media equates to reality is also laughable; CNN, AP, Buzzfeed and other outlets were caught pushing fake news in a series of recent scandals which resulted in numerous retractions and other “corrections,” including the botched National Guard/deportation story and the infamous “Peegate.”
The mainstream media doesn’t represent objective reality but rather the interests of the ruling class which owns the handful of multinational corporations that, in turn, own at least 90% of the mainstream media.
In fact, a recent poll revealed that Americans trust Trump more than the mainstream media.
“The Trump administration is more trusted than the news media among voters, according to a new Emerson College poll,” reported The Hill. “The administration is considered truthful by 49 percent of registered voters and untruthful by 48 percent.”
“But the news media is less trusted than the administration, with 53 percent calling it untruthful and just 39 percent finding it honest.”
Exclusive: Russian Bank Docs Show How Putin Laundered Money to Hillary & Podesta
Now we know why Clinton & Co. were so desperate to frame Trump with ties to Putin
Jerome R. Corsi | Infowars.com - February 21, 2017
Today Infowars investigative journalist Jerome Corsi met with former vice-head of Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee, Curt Weldon, to discuss his committees’ deep research into the Clinton technology transfers to Russia in exchange for Clinton Foundation donations. Weldon validated much that is presented in the following article, which is part one of a series of investigative articles coming out over the upcoming week based on intel by Weldon and other sources:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congress may want to examine concrete evidence showing Russian President Vladimir Putin paying Hillary Clinton and John Podesta for a long time before the mainstream media goes even more overboard trying to fabricate a tie between Putin and President Donald Trump.
The money trail hunt begins with a document Infowars has obtained from the Russian Central Bank “Registry of Significant Control,” known generally as the “RSC Registry.”
This document traces the ownership of Metcombank, a relatively small Russian-domiciled bank located in the Russian Ural Mountains, to ownership by Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian billionaire with close ties to Putin.
As we shall see this document provides evidence of the circuitous path the Russian government has been using since Hillary Clinton was secretary of state to make large financial payments to John Podesta and to the Clinton Foundation.
Be sure to keep referring to this document to cross-check as you continue reading the article below.
As the RSC Registry makes clear, Vekselberg has been paying Clinton and Pedestal through a complicated money laundering scheme involving Metcombank in Russia, with payments tracing back to the Renova Group, a Russian-based energy and investment international conglomerate also owned by Vekselberg.
A NYT article from April 23, 2015 revealing how Clinton made military transfers to Russia.The entire scheme involves a Netherlands-listed private company that plays prominently into the international money laundering the Russian government has been conducting through offshore entities in the Cayman Islands, as documented by the Panama Papers.
Money laundering schemes created by professional criminals are typically complicated. To begin understanding the PSC registry on Metcombank, note that the bottom box on the chart (second page) makes clear that Vekselberg effectively owns 100 percent of Metcombank.
First, the simple part.
Metcombank appears to be the bank Vekselberg has used to make transfers to the Clinton Foundation, with the money flowing first through the Moscow branch of Metcombank, and from there into Deutsche Bank and Trust Company Americas in New York City, finally ending up in a private bank account in the Bank of America that is operated by the Clinton Foundation.
How Putin paid Podesta is more complicated. John Podesta, the campaign chairman of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential run. Podesta has deep ties to Russia despite blaming President Trump of the same.
The complication begins when we examine the RSC Registry and realize that Vekselberg owns Metcombank through a series of intermediary companies, starting with the Renova Group, a Russian corporate conglomerate with interests in oil, energy, and telecommunication that lists Vekselberg as chairman of the board.
Conveniently, Vekselberg also has ties to Rusnano, the Russian State Investment Fund, via his ownership and management of the Renova Group in Russia.
In 2011, Vekselberg directed Rusnano to make a $35 million investment into Joule Unlimited, a small Massachusetts-based energy company, owned by Joule Global Holdings, N.V., in the Netherlands, with Joule Global Stichting, the ultimate controlling entity.
The Rusnano investment into Joule Unlimited was made when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spearheaded the transfer of U.S. advanced technology to Russia, some with military uses, as part of her “reset” strategy with the country.
As previously reported, in June and July 2011, while he was advising then-Secretary Clinton on State Department policy, John Podesta joined the board of three Joule entities: Joule Unlimited, a small Massachusetts-based energy company; its holding company, Joule Global Holdings, N.V., which was based in the Netherlands; and Joule Global Stichting, which appears to be the ultimate controlling entity.
Podesta, it turns out, has been paid an undisclosed amount, starting in 2011, for serving on the executive board of Joule Unlimited that he neglected to report to regulatory authorities in the U.S., as well consulting fees from the Wyss Foundation, a group controlled by Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, an investor in Joule Energy.
In a Aug. 2016 report entitled “From Russia with Money,” the Government Accountability Institute noted Podesta consulted for a foundation run by one of the investors in Joule Energy, Hansjörg Wyss, who in turn was a major Clinton Foundation donor.
Podesta was evidently paid $87,000 by the Wyss Foundation in 2013, according to federal tax records.
The GAI report also documented the Wyss Charitable Foundation has given between $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Joule Global Stichting was established in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on March 14, 2011.
John Podesta joined the Joule Global Stichting’s executive board on June 25, 2011. The Joule Global Stichting is a foundation, but it’s not strictly a foundation in the charitable sense.
A foundation of this type, a Dutch stichting, is a popular means for reducing one’s tax burden, as noted on the website of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which is at the heart of the Panama Papers investigation into offshore banking and money-laundering operations as archived and released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
The Government Accountability Institute concluded that although Podesta is listed on the corporate records, he failed to disclose his membership on the board of Joule Global Stichting in his federal financial disclosure forms when he joined the Obama White House as a senior advisor.
To complete the circle, Vekselberg, the Renova Group, the Skolkovo Foundation, and Hansjörg Wyss all have ties to the Clinton Foundation, either as substantial donors or as participants in the Clinton Global Initiative.
Joule Global Stichting and Joule Global Holdings, N.V., figure prominently as a client of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca that is at the heart of the Panama Papers investigation into offshore money-laundering operations on a massive international scale.
Today we are witnessing the continuation of a soft coup against not only President Trump, but of our Republic. The Democrats must be highly compromised, i.e. lots of skeletons in their closets. This was the most blatantly biased investigation of Democrats looking for a crime. Yet not that some Republicans are not compromised. Donald Trump did not erase 33,000 e-mail, did not accept 145,000,000 from a Russian Bank, did not hammer his Blackberries, did not bleach bit his computers, did not threaten Ukraine with withholding $1 Billion dollars from Ukraine unless they stopped the investigation of his drug addicted son Hunter, did not sell out the United States of America like Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, and the compromised Democrats have. If the impeachment does not work this time they will try again, and again any means necessary to end the Presidency of Donald Trump, for they do not want their swamp drained.
Gun Safety, ala Governor Murphy
The NWO puppet that is the currently selected Governor of New Jersey constantly calls for "common sense gun control" should step back, and look at what "common sense gun control did for a group of Mormons in Mexico. In Mexico it is illegal to own a gun. Hey Murphy, what criminal obeys the law? He is in reality working for the disarmament of the American people and their subsequent enslavement.
Coup d'etat
Halloween a day when the demons come back to haunt us. It is the day of the devil. Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff are perfect examples of the personification of evil. Nancy is an extremely devious person, and Adam continues to bite the apple over and over again. He tries to cover his loins just a Adam did as described in the Book of Genesis. The Star Chamber events that only the corrupt and compromised Democrats can call witnesses, and the accused has no right to confront his detractors. Only what lying little Adam Schiff see what will help his narrative gets out.
So now they will bring the charade out in the open, but with Nancy and liddle Schiff's caveats. Republican can only call witnesses if liddle Schiff approves them.
This is a Deep State operation in high gear. If the treasonous Democrats succeed in this impeachment it will be the END OF AMERICA as we know it.
Damn the Democrats, and I am a registered Democrat. I will vote in 2020 for President Trump!
Bought and Paid For
Jerry Nadler claims that there is NO evidence that Google censors conservatives. Either he is a liar, a fool or both. Well he pocketed $26, 000 from Google. It does not take much to buy this clown. My own blog went from 3000 hits-per day to between 50 to 100. It happened from one day to the next. It is called shadow banning. When I googled a story that was a rare story my blog DID NOT appear.
What else does the Deep State have on Nadler? Could it be pedophilia?
Death of Bush a Distraction
Hey did they pull the plug on daddy Bush to delay the Trump's release of classified information? This was to be the week of revelation about Hillary, Bill and the Deep State. Monday the Whistle blower on the Uranium One deal was to speak, but instead we have receive lies about a very evil man. The FBI raided the home of the whistle blower instead. Folks if you cannot see the current war that is going on inside our borders they you are either blind of dumber than a box of rocks. WTFU!!!
With the consummate liar, Netanyahu, claiming that there is a secret nuclear program in Iran is beyond hypocrisy. This criminal lives in a glass house, and should not throw stones. If Israel has the right to nuclear weapons so does Iran. What I would be looking for is Israel pulling a false flag on the US Navy.
Stein Hillary's Shill 120216
On Wednesday I listened to "Democracy Now", and later the Tucker Carlson Show. Each host was interviewing Jill Sellout Stein, but neither asked the key question. The key question for me would have been the following: "Jill, a hand recount of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania would probably not be completed by the December 19th deadline for the electoral votes. That would deny Trump the necessary votes to be elected President. That seems to be the Hillary strategy to steal the election, so why would the Green Party candidate shill for Hillary's election. Has Hillary, Bill, the Clinton Campaign, the DNC or others that are connected to the Clinton's approached you, and what were you offered?"
That would have been my question, but then again that is why I only operate in the "Fake News" section of journalism.

The shooting at the Pulse night club in Orlando, which is just another false flag to promote a not so hidden agenda if failing to convince America that the gun did it. At the gym last night no body believed the government's story.
Just think of the 2.5 to 3 million UNCOUNTED votes in California. Had to get that off the front page. Just think that yesterday Trump was going to give a speech on the crimes of the Clintons. Well that had to be postponed. Cui bono? Hillary of course, and the Indonesian male prostitute that resides in the White House, and vacations around the world. He is determined to disarm law abiding Americans before he leaves the White House.
Iowa Caucus
How about Hillary's luck with her winning 6 coin tosses? Maybe she should play the horses, blackjack, etc. as they all can be fixed too. In six coin tosses you would have a 1 in 64 chance of winning all six. What that tells me is that the Iowa democrats have more allegiance to The Wicked Witch of the West than they do to their own country.
How about Sen. Cruz? He was not natural born, and there is doubt that his mother was born in the US. He is ineligible to run for President, but hey Obama did it why not him?
As for Rubio he was born in the US, but not of US citizens, so he too is not eligible to run for President. He has quite a few skeletons in his closet, and that is why they like him.
So much for representative government. It is a joke, but it is not funny.
Pearl Harbor
Today one should remember a day of "infamay". Yes today December 7th, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, as Roosevelt hoped that they would. He made sure that the aircraft carriers were out to sea, and the dinosaur battleships were in port.
He needed an attack, where the US would lose military personnel, so that he could take the side of Churchill against Hitler. You see there were many like the Bush family that backed Hitler. So this necessitated the sacrifice of Americans to further Roosevelt's agenda.
And the beat goes on. We are still expendable to further hidden agendas.
December 7th, 2015
Halloween brings people in strange costumes, and strange people without costumes. So to does it sometimes bring strange events, in costumes. A Russian jet crashes in the Sinai. Well who was, and still is looking for their candy? Who would be willing and able to inflict such damage to the Russians? Looks to me that it would be Israel, the US, with the most means to do it. With ISIS a distant third.
Who does the security at the airport that the plane took off from?
Listening to the House Hearings on Benghazi was maddening.
The question not asked of the Wicked Witch of the West was "Why were we in Libya, and under what Congressional authorization justified it?"
What Hillary said at one point was that "We had to stop Quadafi from oppressing his people." Well he could ride standing up in an open top car without armed protection, and hear the "oppressed" cheer him. Quadafi had turned his country around, and he ran it for the benefit of the people.
The "oppressed" that the Witch referred to were the hired mercenaries out of Benghazi that Quadafi was fighting, and fighting successfully.
The Democrats were not interested in a thorough investigation of what happened, and why, but only in "Lets cover Hillary's ass mode." They accused the Republicans of turning it into a political circus. Well Hillary and Barry (aka Barack) immediately turned in into a political fairy tale while the dead Americans bodies were still warm. Obama thinking of 2012 election and Hillary thinking about 2016.
What Stevens was in on was the knowledge that Hillary and Obama were shipping weapons such as Stinger Missiles to the enemy. The enemy was fighting a US, Israeli, Saudi proxy war to overthrow Assad. My fellow Americans that is TREASON.
Was Hillary using here State Department Office to enhance the Clinton Foundation with money from people and countries that made generous "contributions" to it? In essence these were bribes to pay for her 2016 Presidential run
Hello all,
The technical support that I signed up for in 5 minutes has resolved the problem. So we will be back up and flying soon.
Obama will hate that fact.
October 3, 2015
The problem is back.
October 2, 2015
Finally, the problem has been fixed. Will be posting again soon, but first I have to take care of personal business.

Campus was a gun free zone, and vet with concealed carry was prevented to stop the carnage.
Also the World's most notorious killer, Barack Obama, referred to himself 28 times in his feigned attempt to turn the still warm victims as sacrificial lambs in his desire to disarm all Americans. This is a sick man that the rest of the World suffers from him NPD. Did you notice his pursed lips during his reading of his "sympathy" speech? That is a true sign of NPD. He knows NO empathy whatsoever.
Every Tuesday this asshole sits down with a kill list, and picks out who to execute with drones. Many men, women and children dies as collateral damage with the actions of this beast.
October 1, 2015
Still cannot post.
Will keep trying to right the situation.
September 30, 2015
Could not get into the blog today, and now that that has been addressed, we now cannot post.
Bear with us as we try and right the situation.
I guess that we must have annoyed someone.

Christie Waddles for the Presidency
Just this past week the big fat bully governor of New Jersey announced that he was running for the Republican nomination for the Presidency. We here in New Jersey knew that he was waddling for the job ever since he was elected governor.
He has been a disaster for New Jersey, and he would be worse for the US.
JUST A COINCIDENCE
This past Friday I received a survey from "Everytown for Gun Safety", and of course it was about gun control. Or should I say the disarming of the citizens of America before their total enslavement and death.
It was also just a coincidence that the DHS ran an "active shooter" drill at the time of the Charleston shooting.
DISTRACTION
April 30, 2015
They have been trying to divide and conquer for quite some time, and Baltimore is just another attempt. Do not fall for it. Yes the murder of Freddie Gray was terrible, but it does not justify violence. Beware of agent provocateurs.
Yes there were peaceful protests, but looking at MSM you would not know it. What are they hiding while the Baltimore Riots takes front page, while a Treaty disguised as an agreement is being thrust upon our Nation. Discussed in secret, and with transnational corporate input. No Congressional input. They cannot even discuss what they have been told with their constituents.
Fast Track began with the Nixon administration for tariff rate, and only tariff rates. Treaties required 2/3 of the Senate to pass. Along comes The Great Communicator, the straight man for a chimp, and he declares treaties nothing more than agreements. So Ronnie only needed a simple majority of both houses.
Then came coke snorting, womanizing, money laundering Bill Clinton to get Fast Track on NAFTA, GATT, etc.
The TPP will grant sovereignty to corporations, and subject the citizens to their greedy whims and fancies. The poverty in this country and in others will explode, and violence will begin. That is why you are being subjected to another drill for Martial Law in Baltimore.
Just wait for Jade Helm, and again a psyops to get the masses used to Martial Law.
My friends any one who pushes the TPP is a TRAITOR.
FORCLOSURES
April 17, 2015
In the local paper every Friday has what appears in the classified section is a listing of Sherrif's Sales. Every Friday the list was 3, 4 or 5 pages. Today while we are in "recovery" the pages number 7, and the Republican Congress is pushing the TPP, which will destroy not only the soveringty of the US and any other signatories, but it will further bring down the middle class (what is left of it). Do not worry though, the vultures will peck at the bones of the national, state, county, and local government's assets, and they will get them for pennies on the dollar. The bastards of banking will devour the houses, and turn them into rentals.
WTFU America.
January 20, 2015
Just listenedd to Obama's Chief of Staff say that Obama with his State of the Union will continue his struggle for the middle class. "Continue his struggle for the middle class...", is that sarcasm. Obama, if that is his real name, has been attacking the middle class, and in so doing is destroying the United States of America.
His speech will be nothing more than rhetoric. He is going to demand increased taxes on the rich. Well how will that happen with a GOP House and Senate? It cannot happen and he knows it. It is all for show, and he continues his life in lies.

There is outrage on the outcome of the Dallas Cowboys versus the Green Bay Packers. Why is their outrage on this total distraction? Fans here belong to one of two tribes that support the circus of the "bread and circus".
It has become a game of less and less interest as commercials, reviews, more reviews, pregame shows of several well paid ex-jocks to tell us what must be done by each team to win. Then after the game the same go over and over the game and why one team won and one lost. The media has more covering a meaningless event than the do covering all of Africa.
It is done to take you mind off the reality of the day. It is the blue pill to keep you from seeing that you are accepting a police state as you are groped and searched when you enter the stadium.
Then there is more money to be made in the betting on the game than in the TV and commercials. So would it be any surprise to you that the games might be fixed? It isn't to me. Have you ever seen the pro football game where one team plays and the other merely shows up? Maybe the team that only showed up knew who the winner would be.
There is also a globalist plan to destroy national sports such as US football, and replace it with soccer. Could this be a step in that direction?
I remember the day well. A Customer Service Representative was promoted to Outside Sales, and he left just before lunch. His new job was to begin on the following Monday. He came back in at about an hour or two later. His face was white as a ghosts. He took a deep breath and said "President Kennedy has been killed."
It was a quiet at the bus stop in Newark that night, and the bus was dead silent. Just like today people are silent on the coup d'etat that happened that day in Dallas. It angers me that people can forget that at that day and time on the 11th month and the 22nd day our country was changed forever, and not for the better.
Many still believe that it is us versus them, and Democrat versus Republican when there is not a dime's worth of difference. The US and the world are run by a SSG (Secret Shadow Government).
Here is the audio of President Kennedy speaking about the danger to American in Secret Societies.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? It takes more than flying a flag and closing your eyes to the senseless slaughterr of men, women, and children to be patriotic. The "Great Satan" has struck again, and killed children in Ahrar Ash-Sham, Syria. It is to stop our own creation ISIS, or so they say. It is really to wage war against the Syrian government, and his majesty want Congress to expand his war making powers. So get off of your patriotic ass and call your Congressman and Senator and say, "I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore. End the wars, stop the bombing."
November 5, 2014
Today is the day after, and many of us know what a day after can be like. We promise never to do it again when we recover, but we forget about it and do it again. Well we did it again. We traded one bunch of traitors for another. It is like getting drunk on a different beverage. What will change? Nothing much will change. It will be the continued destruction of the United States, and the impoverishment of millions more. When will we ever learn, when will we ever learn?
