It were estimated that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam had a yearly revenue of 200- 300 million US dollars and maybe more.LTTE got funding from diaspora living outside Eelam and taxes in Eelam. LTTE had bank systems and other revenues in LTTE controlled territories which were 1/3 of the Island.LTTE owned many millions USD worth buisnesses and fronts outside Eelam and some say even Lyca and Lebara were owned by the LTTE. Not only that LTTE was known for real estates, Tamil Schools globally, Maaveerar Naal donations, Stocks, Farms, companies etc.There were rumours in the 90s after the LTTE sucsess in the Battlefield and the political arena that the Tamil Tigers had aquired aircraft and bombers and civillians say flights fliying in the sky and not being from SLAF. There were rumours about submarines used and bulit by the LTTE and bulletproof homeade armoured veichles.The LTTE credits the formation of the Air Tigers air-wing to Colonel Shankar, alias Vythialingam Sornalingam, a diploma graduate of Hartley Collegein Point Pedro and a fellow student of the famous Jaffna Hindu College.Colonel Shankar (left)He has an Engineering Diploma in Aeronautics from Hindustan Engineering College in Tamil Nadu, India. On November 27–28, 1998, newschannel Tamilnet reported the LTTE-operated Voice Of Tiger radio station had claimed “Aircraft of the Air Tiger wing of the Liberation Tigers [had] sprinkled flowers over the cemeteries of the slain LTTE cadres in Mulliyawalai,” during the annual Heroes Day celebrations.Earlier in the month, the web based news agency reported (November 19, 1998) an unidentified aircraft allegedly belonging to the LTTE had been spotted in the Thondamanaaru region in Jaffna by Sri Lankan Navy officials. The report said it was also believed the Tigers had built an airstrip in the Mullaitivu army base after it was overrun by the LTTE in 1996.Minister of Defence Anuruddha RawatteOn November 27, 1998 Tamilnet reported Deputy Minister for Defence Anuruddha Ratwatte had scoffed at speculation that the LTTE has acquired aircraft, claiming the reports were part of an LTTE strategy of psychological warfare.Three days later, the news service reported unconfirmed reports of a Tiger helicopter being sighted in the Batticalloa‐Amparai region. The report also said The Sunday Times Military analyst Iqbal Athas had reported military intelligence UAVs had taken images of the LTTE helicopters and Mulativu airstrip. The Sunday Times Situation Report said (November 1, 1998)LTTE soliders and Tamil Eelam police with LTTE peace negotiater and a prominent leader of the Politcal division of the Eelam and Diplomat and minsiter Erik Solheim.“Senior SLAF officials suspect the helicopter on ground to be similar to R44 Astro — a small, light, four-seat, piston-engined civilian helicopter produced by the Robinson Helicopter Company since 1992.Sri Lankan newspapers corroborated discovery of an R44 Astro and also suggested that Australian LTTE contacts had facilitated the purchase of two Australian-made AirBorne microlight aircraft.Some of the helicopters may have been purchased from international contacts and some would have been taken from Sri Lankan bases.AirborneThe Singapore based Asian Tribune e-newspaper claimed (July 28, 2006) the LTTE had acquired two Czech-built Zlin Z‐143's, according to eyewitnesses in Eliranpuram, Pudukudiyiruppu and Meerukandi, who also claim to have frequently seen the Cessna Skymasters flying overhead for several months. The report also said it was believed the acquisition had been made between April and July 2006.Similarly, news of LTTE airstrips in the north had made periodic appearances in the southern Sri Lanka media, including a May 28, 2005 admission by the Norwegian‐led Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission of having sighted an airstrip in the Iranamadu area, in northern Sri Lanka. The new air strip was reportedly located near the ruins of another Tiger air strip that was abandoned due to air force bombing in the late 1990s.The Tamil Protection unit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam first built an airstrip in Iranamadu in the early 1990s. In 1993 they started clearing land south east of the Iranamadu Tank and over the next two years constructed a runway which was opened by Hon. LTTE leader V. Prabhakaran on 19 March 1995. The runway was then bombed and destroyed by the Sri Lanka Air Force and in late 2003, during the Norwegian facilitated ceasefire, the LTTE started clearing land at another site, east of Iranamadu Tank.LTTE Bomber jet also used as a Kamikaze air vehicle and was a sucsess in air raids and the attack of bases for example in the operation Ellalan named of a Tamil Chola King.LTTE did also aquire unmanned aircraft casually known as millitary drones amd sunmarines.Sri Lankan soliders with a caputured drone.Within a year the LTTE had built a 1,200 m (3,900 ft) runway. The airstrip was the launchpad for a number of Air Tigers attacks including the raid on Anuradhapura Air Force Base in October 2007 under the secret name of Operation Ellalan. The Sri Lankan military captured the airstrip on 15 January 2009Iranamadu airstripe and Mullaitivu airport bulit by the LTTE and today are a airports in the Northern Province in the captured areas.On March 16, 2007 the Daily Mirror defence analyst Sunil Jayasiri reported military intelligence had revealed the LTTE had constructed yet another airstrip in the South East of Pudukiduiruppu area in the East. “The Pudukiduiruppu airstrip is 1,250 metres long and therefore even a Hercules C-130 aircraft could land with a full load of cargo”, the report said.To give a picture how big a Lockhead Hercules c130 would look like compared to some tiny humans.The Sri Lankan Government alleged that the aircraft have been shipped with foreign aid.That year, the Air Tigers smuggled two to five or ten unassembled Czech Zlín Z 43 light aircraft onto their bases.The Air Force was inspried by the Japanese Kamikaze flight in the Pasific War during Second World War.On August 11, 2006, Tamilnet reported that “at least one unidentified aircraft” had flown over the Sri Lankan military base at Palali, firing “rockets” at government forces.“Sri Lanka Army (SLA) artillery fire being directed from the base stopped after the attack…,” the report said. When contacted by the Tamilnet to comment on the reported aerial attack the LTTE military spokesman Irasaiah Ilanthirayan alias Marshall was reported to have said “we will use our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in an all out defensive measure to protect our people and homeland.”MarshallThe report was openly dismissed by the Colombo administration as blatant Tiger propaganda.Palali raid On April 23, the Air Tigers conducted its bombs on a nearby military bunker, killing six soldiers Colombo raids On April 26, Sri Lanka’s airBandranaike Airbase and Airport attackMilitary analyst Iqbal Athas said “Air Force officials flatly denied the claim,” adding a Bell 212 helicopter was damaged due to artillery fire, but Athas claimed personal communications with military sources had suggests the possibility of an unidentified aircraft.A few weeks before the alleged aerial attack on Palali, the web based news agency published a series of ‘edited’ images taken during the July 5 Black Tiger celebration, at an undisclosed location in the Tiger held Wanni region. Significantly one of the images showed the tiger leader flanked by a number of Black Tiger ‘suicide’ cadre in the foreground against the backdrop of a somewhat crudely painted fixed wing military aircraft, with symbolically ambiguous flames emanating from the cockpit.Palali raidIn April 23, the Air Tigers conducted its bombs on a nearby military bunker, killing six soldiers.Colombo raidsOn April 26, Sri Lanka’s air defenses in Colombo fired into the sky following reports that unidentified aircraft had been spotted on radar. No attack was reported.However, a few days later on the early morning of April 29, while the nation was watching the Cricket World Cup Final, a Tiger aircraft bombed two fuel storage facilities outside Colombo. Chaos followed and electricity in the capital was shut off for nearly an hour. There were no casualties and minimal damage. The security forces were unable to bring down the aircraft prompting much criticism from the public and opposition political parties.Tamil Eelam air craft with fixed missiles rockets and explosives to the Kamikaze attack.On October 22, 2007, Air Tigers launched a pre-dawn combined arms assault on a SLAF airbase at Anuradhapura, about 212 kilometers (132 mi) north of the capital, Colombo.The assault started at around 3:20 am, with LTTE ground forces attacking the airbase and overrunning key positions, including an anti-aircraft position, before the Air Tiger's ultra lights dropped bombs on government positions. A total of 14 Sri Lankan Air Force personnel and 20 Tigers were killed.Weli Oya attackOn April 27, 2008, at approximately 1:45am, at least two Air Tiger aircraft dropped three bombs on military installations near the army forward defense lines in Weli Oya. No damage was caused.Government Defense Authorities claimed that they had sent Air Force interceptors to engage the Tiger aircraft, but they were unable to do so as it had already flown back before they reached the area.Strike on Trincomalee harbourThe Sri Lanka Navy confirmed that at least one LTTE plane dropped bombs on the naval base at Trincomalee on August 26, 2008. At least four SLN sailors were killed and more than 35 wounded in the air strike, which inflicted heavy damage on the SLN base, according to the LTTE. The aircraft safely returned to their base after carrying out their mission.Vavuniya attackBlack Tigers before the Vavuniya AttackOn September 9, 2008, during heavy fighting in the north, an Air Tigers aircraft dropped bombs at a military base in Vavuniya, in northern Sri Lanka. Simultaneously, an LTTE attack on the military base was launched, intended to destroy the India-provided INDRA-II radar that the Sri Lankan government was using to detect the LTTE planes. Eleven soldiers and a policeman were killed along with eleven Tigers; two Indian technicians were wounded.After the raid, the military claimed a Sri Lankan air force plane shot down the LTTE craft, but the LTTE denied it; no proof from either side was given.Air Tigers with LTTE Chief Hon. V Prabhakaran in casual jungle camoflageLTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, on October 31, conferred Awards of Valour for the Tiger commandos who excelled in their performance in the operation against the Vanni Headquarters, as well as on the Tiger pilots and operators who took part in consecutive and successful attacks against targets in the south and the bases of the Sri Lankan military. The Air Tiger pilots who had participated in three consecutive successful air attacks received the Warriors Award of Tamil Eelam (Thamizheezha Ma'ravar Viruthu), while Kiddu artillery formation received special awards for their performance in this specific attack.National Tamil Leader Karikalan (Prabhakaran) awarding an Air Tiger for his bravery during air warfare.Mannar and Colombo strikesTiger aircraft struck again on October 28. One air raid happened at the Thaladi army camp in Mannar, and another occurred against the Kelanitissa near the capital, Colombo. The Sri Lankan government said there had been no major damage at either location, but that two of the turbines hit at the power plant would take six months to renovate.Pictures of Black Tigers, worlds first sucide squad after a flight attackSuicide air raid on ColomboOn February 20, 2009, the LTTE launched a kamikaze-style attack aimed at SLAF Colombo - the Sri Lankan Air Force Headquarters on Sir Chittampalam Gardiner Street – and the SLAF hangars at SLAF Katunayakeadjoining the International Airport in Katunayake.Sri Lankan Goverment was so shocked that they panicked and shot everywhere in the sky in a hope to penetrate the flights.Both of the planes were shot down with one of the planes crashing into the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) opposite the Sri Lankan Air Force Headquarters, starting a fire which resulted in the building sustaining minor damage.The Trans Asia Hotel, which is adjacent, was also damaged though slightly. The Air Force claimed that a plane crashed into the IRD building when the pilot lost control due to anti-aircraft fire. The second aircraft was shot down by anti-aircraft fire close to Bandaranaike International Airport; much of the plane was found intact with the body of the pilot and explosives inside. Two persons (two pilots) were killed and 58 were injured including two airmen of the SLAF.Air Tigers of LTTE Full Documentary with Video read more hear for more details about the Air Force

Currently ArrestedFormer Union Minister P Chidambaram was sent to the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation, which arrested him on Wednesday evening alleging that he was not cooperating with the investigation. Ruling out Mr Chidambaram's contention that he had answered all the questions of the agency the one and only time he was questioned in the case, special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar said, "Considering all the facts, custody is justified".The former minister's legal team had argued that the CBI's contention was not justified and Mr Chidambaram had not been asked about alleged kickbacks to his son Karti Chidambaram during his questioning on June 6, 2018.In his special submission to the court, Mr Chidambaram confirmed it, and asked the judge to refer to the transcript of his questioning by the agency, which is part of the case diary.Pointing out that no new developments have taken place, Mr Chidambaram said there was no question of his fleeing the country, nor was he tampering with the evidence, and so, there was no reason for any custodial interrogation."This case is completely based on a case diary and a statement of another accused," said Congress's Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who is part of Mr Chidambaram's legal team. Mr Chidambaram, he said, was first called in June 2018, months after Indrani Mukerjea recorded her statement.P Chidambaram was arrested amid high drama on Wednesday nightMr Chidambaram's wife Nalini Chidambaram and son Karti Chidambaram were present in court. Karti Chidambaram has been named in the case as a recipient of kickbacks. The judge said while in custody, the 73-year-old will undergo medical examination every 48 hours. He would also be allowed to meet his family members and counsels for half-an-hour every day.The former minister will be lodged in the "Lock-up suite 3" in the guest house floor of the CBI building, where he spent the night after his dramatic arrest on Wednesday. But he was not questioned at all last night. This morning, he was asked 12 questions, but they did not include anything on kickbacks, Kapil Sibal said.The investigators have alleged that in 2007, Mr Chidambaram facilitated a huge transfusion of foreign funds to INX Media -- then owned by former media baron Peter Mukerjea and his wife Indrani Mukerjea -- during his tenure as the finance minister in the UPA government. His son Karti Chidambaram had received kickbacks for the arrangement, the investigators said.Indrani Mukerjea, who turned approver in the case, has alleged that Mr Chidambaram instructed them to help Karti Chidambaram in his businesses in exchange for the approval for foreign investment.On Tuesday, the Delhi high court refused anticipatory bail to Mr Chidambaram, which led to his arrest last evening.Sources said Mr Chidambaram is likely to be confronted with files of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board, which gave the clearance. Mr Chidambaram, who headed the board as the finance minister, had signed off on it.Hope you liked it!!Thanks for Scrolling and reading.“Have a nice day.CREDIT-FAUZAN FAHAD

I do not believe Donald Trump’s ties to Russia are politically motivated. It is about personal gain for him. Politics is simply being used to achieve that personal gain.I do not know that I can answer this without creating a political backlash for my answer, but I’ll do my best.Let me break this down as best as I can, and in the timeline that caused me to feel the concern I do.First, I believe Putin would have tried to interfere in our election regardless of who the candidates were. I believe this, because he is doing this in so many other countries. he wants to compromise democracies and wants to restore Russia to what he views as their former glory.That he could get back at Clinton, I believe is just an added perk to him.My concern began when I read this:A veteran spy has given the FBI information alleging a Russian operation to cultivate Donald TrumpThe article actually says this is not about party politics."This is something of huge significance, way above party politics," the former intelligence officer comments. "I think [Trump's] own party should be aware of this stuff as well."I began digging for more information. I wanted to understand more about what was going on.I began reading about a person listed by the Trump campaign as being a foreign affairs advisor. In March of 2016, Trump told the Washington Post that Carter Page was an advisor.Memos: CEO of Russia's state oil company offered Trump adviser, allies a cut of huge deal if sanctions were lifted"Sechin's associate said that the Rosneft president was so keen to lift personal and corporate western sanctions imposed on the company, that he offered Page and his associates the brokerage of up to a 19 per cent (privatised) stake in Rosneft," the dossier said. "In return, Page had expressed interest and confirmed that were Trump elected US president, then sanctions on Russia would be lifted."This is where people should become concerned, if not before. This is where the Trump team is negotiating our government’s policies in exchange for personal profit.The sale of 19.5% of Rosneft took place on December 7, 2016. You may not think that 19.5% is much. When you are sitting on $8.3 trillion in oil… that 19.5% is worth $1.6 TRILLION.As the article above states, Carter Page appears to be the person that worked as the liason through this negotiation.According to the dossier by Christopher Steele, Paul Manafort who was then Trump’s campaign manager asked Page to be the liason.Even though the sanctions have not yet been dropped, President Trump has signed legislation that is laying the necessary groundwork for this to happen.Trump signs his first significant bill — killing a transparency rule for oil companiesWhen he signed this, President Trump said:This is a big signing, a very important signing.No one made much of it, thinking that only a handful of companies would benefit from it, such as Exxon who lobbied against it at the time.President Trump did not lie. By repealing that bit of Dodd Frank, it means that he can receive money from Rosneft proceeds and not have to disclose it. That one piece of legislation allows him and his associates to get away with the whole Rosneft oil deal.Ok… back to the Russian ties.So, once Carter Page had the terms; the 19%+broker fee of Rosneft in exchange of the sanctions being dropped, things began to change.At the RNC convention, in walked Robert Mercer, and with him, Kellyanne Conway.Will Donald Trump’s Data Analytics Company Allow Russia to Access Research on U.S. Citizens?Robert Mercer is a billionaire. Before the convention, Mercer was the money behind Ted Cruz’s campaign, which is how Kellyanne Conway went from being Ted’s campaign manager to being Trump’s campaign manager. Not only did Mercer become the money man, but he too has close ties to Alfa Bank in Moscow. (The wire taps you’re hearing about now… it appears that they may have gotten taps in regards to the private server in Trump Towers that was in constant communication with a server at the Alfa Bank).It seems straight forward doesn’t it? Wait…Now then, you have an agreement. A stake in an oil company worth more than a trillion dollars in exchange for dropping a few sanctions. Is that such a horrible thing?Yes.So… to make sure you’re on page… at this point, the negotiations appear to be initiated by Paul Manafort. Paul Manafort isn’t someone who you would expect to be a campaign manager.How did he become involved? Through Donald Trump’s close friend and advisor Roger Stone. Roger Stone (who happens to be the person that was tweeting about Podesta being in the cross fire more than 5 weeks before his emails began being released on WikiLeaks) has been friends with Trump for more than 30 years. He has also been a business partner of Paul Manafort for over 15 years.At the time of the convention, news was coming out that Manafort could be facing an investigation into his dealings with Ukraine and money he received perhaps illegally. Manafort then departs the campaign and Conway steps in.Robert Mercer brings someone else along with him. Steve Bannon. You see, Robert Mercer is the main investor behind Breitbart news.This is where it begins to be an issue you should worry about, regardless of your politics.People begin joining the campaign, I believe mainly to see that this transaction goes through as planned. However, each has their own agendas.Steve Bannon’s goal is to destroy the Democrat and Republican parties. He hates each of them. Robert Mercer believes our banking system is nothing more than a massive ponzi scheme and wants to restructure the whole thing. (Keep watching… Dodd Frank is going away)Robert Mercer also heads up one of the largest hedge funds on Wall Street. One of the first executive orders that President Trump signed was one that said investment brokers were not obligated to ensure a transaction was in the best interest of their client.Who do you think is behind that? President Trump does not invest heavily in stocks… he personally does not care.Luckily a court overturned that executive order as well. A federal judge ruled that as a broker accepts a fee, then he is legally obligated to act in the best interest of his client. That order was overturned about the same time the immigration executive order was overturned.So we have Steve Bannon that wants to destroy the government, and Mercer wants to destroy the banking system. Mercer, by the way, does not like the Republican party any more than Bannon does. He feels they are too close to Wall Street.Bannon Says Cabinet Picks Intended to ‘Deconstruct’ Regulation and AgenciesWhat Kind of Man Spends Millions to Elect Ted Cruz?If you are a Republican and want to strip Dodd Frank regulations… ok… but I doubt you would like what Mercer would do… because the banks would become privately owned like they are in Russia.Do you wonder how this one deal with Russia could influence our government in other ways?If you are going to be a part of a deal that is worth over $1.6 Trillion, would you personally trust that Donald Trump… that is so thin skinned and fights over strange things to make sure this deal was able to happen?You’re going to have to have a party that helps with hiding the financial aspect of the transaction.Is Trump Advisor Steve Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone Group, The Missing Link In The Trump/Rosneft Scandal?Enter Trump advisor Steve schwarzman CEO of Blackstone, and a close associate of the Koch brothers, David and Charles. Also enter VP Mike Pence.Blackstone Group and Glencore are both part of the Rosneft transaction. That indicates the involvement of the Koch Brothers. Who are they? Charles and David Koch, along with Philip Morris Co. are the money behind the Tea Party movement. The Koch brothers also happen to be the force behind Citizens United. That should ring a bell because they had a case taken to the Supreme court in 2010. That case, Citizens United v FEC overturned parts of the Campaign Reform Act of 2002. It means the Koch brothers are behind legalizing SUPER PACS. So, while you may not like big money in election campaigns… it is thanks to the Koch brothers that it is allowed.The Secret Origins of the Tea PartyNow, the Koch brothers do not like or trust Donald Trump. There is not much love lost between the Koch brothers and Robert Mercer.The Brewing Billionaire Feud at the Heart of the G.O.P. Given the 2 factions… you may begin to see why there is such strife within the Trump administration.If you recall… Donald Trump seemed to be favoring Christie as his VP. Well… in fact, he had decided on Christie. He felt he was loyal, he liked him, and felt he could trust Christie.The Koch brothers wanted Pence. They were the money behind his campaigns. They did not trust Trump, but if things fell apart with Trump, then Pence could quietly make sure the deal was done.Paul Manafort comes into the picture again. Manafort lied to Trump. He told him there were problems with the plane and that they would be stuck overnight and convinced him to go ahead and meet with Pence.Paul Manafort Staged Airplane Malfunction To Trick Trump Into Picking Pence Over ChristieAll of the sudden you have the Koch brothers’ choice in as VP.Is Pence enough to keep everything moving forward? Probably not. After all, he was no longer in DC, he was governor of OH. However, Koch brothers have congressmen in their pockets.Mitch McConnell has admitted as much:In Leaked Tape Mitch McConnell Admits The Koch Brothers Are Running The Republican PartyKoch brothers control among others, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Jason Chaffetz, all of whom are doing their very best to keep any investigations into the Trump ties to Russia from moving forward.Meet The 40 Members Of The Congressional Koch CaucusI do not actually see this as political. I see this as business. It just so happens that the Koch brothers chose to back members that are republican. I believe it could just as easily have been democrats, but that is who they chose. Koch brothers actually wanted to rebuild the whole Republican party and also want to re-structure our government.Koch Watch - Part 99Again… you may be aligned with this or not, it is what it is.So… in regards to the Trump ties to Russia, we have 2 billionaire factions, each working to achieve their own ends while making sure a massive deal gets done with Russia.Koch brothers bring with them the support of Congress to minimize any oversight.Is that all?NOOOOOOOOO….Because Putin is no fool either. You may not like the man… I sure don’t, but he’s incredibly smart also.Putin wants people that he too can trust to make sure things happen according to plan.Enter Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of Commerce Wilbur Ross.Tillerson, as we all know is the former CEO of Exxon Oil.Tillerson lobbied the Obama administration to prevent the sanctions that Obama imposed after Russia invaded Crimea.Why did he lobby? Because Exxon was in the middle of negotiating a $500 billion partnership with Rosneft.The oil that Russia sits on, they cannot get to without assistance. They need help from companies that have the machinery, the technology and the experience with hydraulic fracturing. Much of the oil is beneath the artic, and it will take assistance from a company like Exxon to get to that oil.When Obama levied the sanctions against Russia, it put an abrupt end to the negotiations between Exxon oil and Rosneft.Tillerson is well liked by Putin, he trusts him, and Tillerson has a reason to want to see this deal happen. He was with Exxon for 40 years.Again, Trump was looking at others, and had never even met Tillerson. Once he met him, he agreed to bring him on board. Some say oil companies pushed him, but there is that very close tie to Putin.Then let’s look at Wilbur Ross. You are not hearing much about him yet. He’s just sort of flying under the radar.In October—two days after the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declared that Russia was responsible for hacking Democratic targets to influence the 2016 election—the Trump campaign zapped out a press release claiming that Hillary Clinton was actually the candidate in the race with "close ties" to Russian leader Vladimir Putin and that she had "sold out American interests to Putin in exchange for political and financial favors." One piece of supposed evidence for this claim was that Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian billionaire oligarch and Putin ally, made a donation, through his company, to the Clinton Foundation.Would it surprise you to learn that the Viktor Vekselberg mentioned in that release by the Trump campaign was also a business partner of Wilbur Ross?In 2014 Wilbur Ross led a Billion euro take over of the Bank of Cyprus. The second largest shareholder happens to be Viktor Vekselberg. Ross is still on the board of the bank. It happens to be known for Russian money laundering.Who else is on that board? Dmitry Rybolovlev. He is the Russian Oligarch that bought Trump’s florida mansion for $100 million.Donald Trump and the mansion that no one wanted. Then came a Russian fertilizer kingDmitry is also very close to Putin.Donald Trump has claimed that he never met Rybolovley, but it was recently discovered that their planes kept showing up at the same small airports during the campaign.Intriguing overlap in paths of Russian oligarch, Trump campaignYou have all of these people that are trying to make sure this deal happens. However, look at where they are all placed within the administration.The loyalty of these people is first to make sure they make a ton of money. At what cost?It is clear that our country means little to them, and Trump will let anyone do what they want in order to keep the focus on these things rather than this deal.Is our national security at risk? Absolutely. You have someone involved that stands to gain financially from the deal with Russia as our Secretary of State. As our President. As our Vice President. As our head of the Department of Commerce, and there is more. All of these people can very easily pass on highly confidential information to Russia that would destroy our country.But there is more.There is another billionaire working behind the scene, pulling some strings as well.Erik Prince.Notorious Mercenary Erik Prince Is Advising Trump From the ShadowsPrince founded the notorious private security firm Blackwater, which rose to infamy in September 2007 after its operatives gunned down 17 Iraqi civilians, including a 9-year-old boy in Baghdad’s Nisour Square. Whistleblowers also alleged that Prince encouraged an environment in which Iraqis were killed for sport.Now you know how Betsy DeVos became the head of the Department of Education. She is Erik Prince’s sister.Prince is just scary.Trump is not brave enough to give him a position in his cabinet, it would be political suicide for anyone to do, but Prince is very involved. Prince also believes they can work with Putin.So… your head is now spinning… and you’re thinking… what in heaven’s name does Erik Prince have to do with any of this?The Domestic Conspiracy That Gave Trump The Election Is In Plain SightInformation presently public and available confirms that Erik Prince, Rudy Giuliani, and Donald Trump conspired to intimidate FBI Director James Comey into interfering in, and thus directly affecting, the 2016 presidential election. This conspiracy was made possible with the assistance of officers in the New York Police Department and agents within the New York field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. All of the major actors in the conspiracy have already confessed to its particulars either in word or in deed; moreover, all of the major actors have publicly exhibited consciousness of guilt after the fact. This assessment has already been the subject of articles in news outlets on both sides of the political spectrum, but has not yet received substantial investigation by major media.While a full summary of the Prince-Giuliani-Trump conspiracy would require a longer discourse, the actions of these men, along with multiple still-anonymous actors, can be summarized in five paragraphs. It will be for journalists with more resources than this writer to follow up on these leads—and, moreover, to see how this domestic conspiracy dovetails with the Trump-Russia controversy, though this too is briefly addressed below.In addition to the paragraphs here, this article incorporates its three predecessors (I, II, III).1. As reported by the New York Times, FBI Director James Comey released his now-infamous October 27th letter in substantial part because he had determined that “word of the new emails [found on Anthony Weiner’s computer]...was sure to leak out.” Comey worried that if the leak occurred at a time when the nature and evidentiary value of the “new” emails was unknown, he “risked being accused of misleading Congress and the public ahead of an election.” By October 27th, the FBI had had access to Weiner’s computer—which it originally received from NYPD—since October 3rd, during which interval the Bureau had both the time and IT know-how to determine that the “new” emails in its possession were in fact duplicate emails from accounts already revealed to the Bureau by Clinton, her aide Huma Abedin, and the State Department. However, when Comey was briefed on the case by agents from the New York field office on October 26th, he discovered that not only had this IT work not been done, but in fact no warrant to seize the full emails had been sought, no permission to read the emails had been requested from cooperating witnesses Weiner and Abedin, and indeed nothing but a summary of the emails’ “meta-data” (non-content header information) had been prepared by his agents. The result of this investigative nonfeasance was that Comey feared he would not be able to get a warrant for the emails and confirm them as duplicates prior to Election Day—a fact that would allow anti-Clinton elements within NYPD and the FBI, and Trump surrogates and advisers with sources in these organizations, to mischaracterize the “new” emails in a way that would swing the election to Trump. As long as the Clinton investigation remained open, Comey would not be able to respond to such misinformation; his only hope of keeping public discussion of the “new” emails within the sphere of reality was to use the cover of a prior promise to Congress to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation—and then close that investigation in short order.2. The effort to intimidate Comey into publicly commenting on the Clinton case—a win-win scenario for Trump, as either a comment from Comey or silence from Comey (the latter coupled with inaccurate, Hatch Act-violative leaks by the FBI, NYPD, and/or the Trump campaign) would sink Clinton—began concurrent to Comey’s October 26th briefing on the Clinton case. In an October 25th Fox & Friends appearance and an October 26th appearance on Fox News with Martha McCallum, Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s closest advisers, began teasing an October “surprise” which, Giuliani said, would turn the tide against Hillary Clinton. He refused to say what the forthcoming surprise would be, but he indicated that it would be coming in just a few days. Meanwhile, Erik Prince—the founder of Blackwater private security, one of Trump’s biggest donors, a conspiracy theorist who’d previously accused Huma Abedin of being a terrorist in the employ of the Muslim Brotherhood, and a man who blamed Clinton family friend and former Clinton Chief of Staff Leon Panetta for outing him as a CIA asset in 2009—was positioning himself to play an important role. Just as Giuliani had boasted on the Mark Larson radio program on October 28th that he had sources within the FBI—active agents—who had told him of virulent anti-Clinton sentiment in the New York field office and an internal rebellion against Comey’s July decision not to indict Clinton, Prince claimed to have sources within the Weiner investigation who were illegally leaking information to him. In Prince’s case, the sources were within NYPD, and the information he relayed from them to Breitbart News on November 4th—when it was not yet known that Comey, the next day, would reveal the “new” Clinton emails to be duplicates—turned out to be almost entirely false. The full extent of Prince’s lies on November 4th, all of which were Trump campaign disinformation delivered by an adviser and major donor to the campaign, are too numerous and spectacular to list here. Two brief quotes from Breitbart’s interview with Prince should suffice:Prince claimed he had insider knowledge of the investigation that could help explain why FBI Director James Comey had to announce he was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s email server last week....”[NYPD] found a lot of other really damning criminal information [on Weiner’s computer], including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton went there more than twenty times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times,” he said. “The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress, was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained. “I believe—I know, and this is from a very well-placed source of mine at One Police Plaza in New York—the NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making in this investigation, and they’ve gotten huge pushback, to the point of coercion, from the Justice Department.”Virtually all of this is untrue. Prince continued:“So NYPD first gets that computer. They see how disgusting it is. They keep a copy of everything, and they pass a copy on to the FBI, which finally pushes the FBI off their chairs, making Comey reopen that investigation, which was indicated in the letter last week. The point being, NYPD has all the information, and they will pursue justice within their rights if the FBI doesn’t. There is all kinds of criminal culpability through all the emails they’ve seen of that 650,000, including money laundering, underage sex, pay-for-play, and, of course, plenty of proof of inappropriate handling, sending/receiving of classified information, up to Special Access Programs....The point being, fortunately, it’s not just the FBI; five different offices are in the hunt for justice, but the NYPD has it as well....From what I understand, up to the commissioner or at least the chief level in NYPD, they wanted to have a press conference, and DOJ, Washington people, political appointees have been exerting all kinds of undue pressure on them to back down....This kind of evil, this kind of true dirt on Hillary Clinton—look, you don’t have to make any judgments. Just release the emails. Just dump them. Let them out there. Let people see the light of truth.”Prince’s statements of November 4th—whether given with the knowledge that they were untrue or without any knowledge of their accuracy whatsoever—underscore the sort of disinformation Comey feared would be given to voters, and, more importantly, believed by voters, if he did not complete his investigation into the duplicate emails and announce his findings before Election Day. This alone explains his deviation from FBI protocol prohibiting discussion of open cases (and announcements regarding major investigations within two months of a general election).3. It seems clear that Giuliani, who was the top surrogate for the Trump campaign and in near-daily contact with the candidate, acted under orders from Trump, and that Prince either acted under orders from Trump or Steve Bannon—well-known to Prince from their mutual association with, and financial investment in, Breitbart and its ownership, including Robert Mercer—and, moreover, that all those associated with the conspiracy were subsequently rewarded. Erik Prince’s sister, Betsy DeVos, was named Education Secretary by Trump, despite having no experience for the job other than advocating sporadically for charter schools in Michigan. Prince himself was named a shadow adviser to Trump, even though, by November 8th, the fact that his statements to Breitbart had been part of a domestic disinformation campaign was clear. Prince is so close to Trump that he appears to have been present at the election-night returns-watching party to which Trump invited only close friends and associates; Prince’s wife posted pictures of the event. Giuliani, originally assured a Cabinet position and then separated from the Trump team entirely—perhaps as punishment for his carelessness on Fox News—was then given a highly lucrative but substance-free position within the administration on the same day, January 12th, that the DOJ announced that the Inspector General would be investigating the sequence of events comprising the Prince-Giuliani-Trump conspiracy. Inspector General Horowitz noted that within his brief was investigation of the series of leaks that occurred between the NYPD, the FBI, and outside entities—including, we can surmise based on context, the Trump campaign.4. Both polling, poll analysis, and internet meta-data (see below) confirm that the Comey Letter was sufficient to hand Trump the 77,143 combined votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania that won him the election. We know from the statements made by Giuliani, and from numerous statements made by Trump on the campaign trail, that both men believed the Clinton email server case could be leveraged to ensure Clinton’s defeat in November. It turns out they were correct.5. By the time Christopher Steele, the former head of MI6’s Russia desk, disseminated his research into Donald Trump’s ties with Russia to American journalists and the American intelligence community—something he did, tellingly, when he was no longer being paid for the work—he had come to believe, per The Independent, that “there was a cover-up, that a cabal within the Bureau blocked a thorough inquiry into Mr. Trump, focusing instead on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.” Evidence substantiating this concern is legion: that the FBI had Steele’s memos as early as mid-summer of 2016, after the Clinton investigation was closed, but appeared to do no work on the case (which involved alleged treasonous conduct by the Republican nominee in collusion with a hostile foreign actor) between that time and Election Day; that FBI Director Comey was intimidated into revealing the status of the Clinton case on October 27th but would not, even in the face of numerous allegations of federal crimes against the president-elect, reveal anything about the Bureau’s investigation into that matter; or that the Clinton and Weiner investigators at NYPD and the FBI appear to have leaked repeatedly to the Trump campaign, yet there have been no leaks whatsoever regarding the FBI and CIA’s ongoing investigation into Trump’s ties with Russia. It is thus clear that better understanding the scope, purpose, and players of the domestic conspiracy to elect Donald Trump will also shed light on how the FBI and CIA managed to conduct little or no investigation of criminal allegations exponentially more serious than any of those leveled against Hillary Clinton.Now, if this is correct, and Comey became a part of this, how is the FBI going to honestly investigate any of this?How is Comey implicated? Is it just that he sabotaged Clinton with his announcement? No.There are allegations out there that Comey provided the emails found on Weiner’s laptop.Dear Mr. Putin, Let’s Play ChessThis is worth reading. In this article the writer states”In 2012/13, a young Russian hacker called Yvegeny Nikulin, then 26, was using Snowden’s NSA techniques – stolen credentials – to hack LinkedIn, Dropbox and Formspring.Formspring, which shut down late 2013, was the app that Anthony Wiener used for his sexting.According to John Schindler, “a hacker”(Nikulin) was picked up in Prague, October 5th, on suspicion of interfering with the DNC and the Democrats in America’s election. He had been sought on an FBI red warrant.He is being extradited to the United States (if Jeff Sessions does not try to stop it) over strong protests from Russia. The DoJ announcement on his indictment mentioned not only Formspring, but ‘a count of conspiracy’ and ‘sending a code to a computer’……Mr. Putin, it is my surmise that some of the Russian moles inside US counter-intelligence work within the FBI’s criminal division, and particularly, within the New York field office.It is my surmise that your hacker, Nikulin, sent a command buried in a virus earlier transmitted by Formspring to ‘wake up’ that old computer and either find, or place, emails from Huma Abedin on to it, and that you then contacted your moles inside the NYPD/ FBI NY and told them to “suddenly find” emails that, the expectation was, could not possibly be combed through in time before the election.Your agents within the FBI Field Office then did a number of additional things.Firstly, they illegally spoke to any friendly press and the Trump campaign about putative ongoing criminal investigations into the Clinton Foundation and the matter of her email server.They told Fox News’s Brett Baier that Hillary Clinton “Would soon be indicted” and this was reported on TV, and then retracted after the damage was done.They told your agents of influence, Rudy Giuliani and X Kallstrom, that ‘a group of active FBI agents’ had demanded Comey release his letter. Both of them stated as much, Mr. Giuliani specifying ‘active’ FBI agents.They used your agent General Flynn – I scorn to use ‘of influence’ in this case, Flynn knew what he was doing – to say on live television that active FBI agents were talking to him about an going ‘criminal investigation’And they told the New York Times that the FBI ’Saw No Clear Ties to Russia’ in the matter of the Russian bank servers. And the New York Times printed it, even though they, the Times, knew it was false.The writer of this claims her information came from a coder by the name of Dustin Giebel.Important in this is that Using stolen credentials from Weiner’s compromised Formspring account, Nikulin planted a virus on Weiner’s laptop, which would allow him to “wake it up” at some future date. And the laptop sat dormant for years, waiting to be summoned to active duty in the service of the Kremlin.The day arrived in early October, 2016. Nikulin “awakened” the Weiner laptop, using his remote access to upload hundreds of thousands of emails to it. On October 3, the New York Police Dept., acting on a tip from the FBI’s New York office (more about that field office later) seized the laptop.This operation was confirmed a month later by Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater and brother of Christian fundamentalist/billionaire donor/unqualified nominee for Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, on Breitbart Radio. “Because of Weinergate and the sexting scandal, the NYPD started investigating it,” Prince said. “Through a subpoena, through a warrant, they searched his laptop, and sure enough, found those 650,000 emails. They found way more stuff than just more information pertaining to the inappropriate sexting the guy was doing. They found State Department emails. They found a lot of other really damning criminal information, including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.”On November 4, the same day Erik Prince gave his Breitbart radio interview, Giuliani boasted on TV that it was his friends at the Bureau who tipped him off that this was in the works. “Did I hear about it?” he said. “You’re darn right I heard about it, and I can’t even repeat the language that I heard from the former FBI agents.” (Maybe he couldn’t repeat the language because they were speaking Russian?). The next day, perhaps after being privately taken to the woodshed, the former mayor amended his story, claiming that his sources were former agents.That the Russians were behind the DNC hack was old news by Election Day—Hillary mentioned that “17 intelligence agencies” believed this during one of the debates, and that was true. In September, however, the intelligence community took this one step further, announcing its conclusion that the Russian hacking had been done to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.The FBI, however, did not join in this assessment. Why? Was the FBI in bed with the Russians? Was Comey? And if he wasn’t, why on earth had he sent that letter to Congress?I do not comment much on the Comey aspect, because I have not been able to confirm this part through main stream sources.But as so much other information has turned out to be truthful, then I think there is a very good chance this will be also.So from where I stand, this is not about Republican vs Democrat. This is about corrupt vs non-corrupt.It is ultimately for money and power. It just so happens that to gain that money and power they give up our democracy.As for what would Putin gain from that oil? Well with that, he can restore Russia’s economy. He can “Restore Russia to her former glory.” Because regardless of what you hear, sanctions do work, and until Putin taps into that oil, Russia will not be the true power Putin wants to be.I do not view this as Clinton losing the election. I accepted the results the night of the election.I do not accept that a handful of greedy people should be given the opportunity to destroy our country.Where the politics comes in… while we are trying to figure out what Trump is up to… Congress is taking advantage.Congress this weekend is working on legislation to shut down the EPA. Do you enjoy the outdoors? Do you remember how polluted lakes and rivers were in the 70s… that could be heading back our way.They are working on implementing the voucher system for schools. For those that think this will work like KC schools were forced to do to meet the requirements of the Supreme court, don’t bank on it. The plan is give vouchers to states and kids can go to any school they want. This will allow inner city children access to same education right? Umm… how are they supposed to get to those schools that are not close by? That does not appear to be part of the voucher plan.They are working on repealing and replacing the ACA. I’m here to tell you… if something has to be kept hidden… there’s a reason they don’t want you to see it.I’m not advocating a political stance. What I would like to see is that these drastic measures are dealt with one at a time, while an impartial investigation takes place into the Russian ties.I accept that Republicans control congress. Yeah, I’m a democrat and I oppose all of what they are trying to do, but if it is all legit, what is the harm in this being done in the open where voters are aware and able to learn about each of these bits of legislation?To me the political part is that they want all of this done while Trump is in office. That way they can impeach him, put Pence in, and then claim that it was all Trump’s doing and avoid the backlash from voters.
