REMEMBER ROHM EMANUEL QUOTE "NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE"
Fact Checker Did the Clinton Foundation raise ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’ for a hospital in Haiti that was never built?
By Michelle Ye Hee Lee June 13, 2016
“Hillary Clinton … took in hundreds of millions of dollars for a hospital in Haiti that went to the Clinton Foundation, that was never built — that was years ago. Where is that money?” — Donald Trump surrogate Michael Cohen, interview on CNN, June 1 Michael Cohen, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization and special counsel to Donald Trump, made this accusation while answering questions about Trump’s donations to veterans’ groups. He blamed the news media for asking questions about Trump’s donations, yet letting Hillary Clinton’s allegedly squandered hospital promise go unquestioned. Although Cohen made the comment in passing, it was picked up by Diamond and Silk, a pro-Trump duo with a Twitter following of more than 80,600. They cited Cohen’s claim and doubled-down on the question in a video, which was retweeted or liked at least 4,600 times: .@HillaryClinton foundation raised $100 Mill 2 build a hospital N Haiti but D hospital was never built. Where's D $$https://t.co/q5NRihVLDK — Diamond and Silk® (@DiamondandSilk) June 3, 2016 We reached out to Cohen directly and through the Trump Organization and Trump campaign several times, but he didn’t respond to our request for a source for his claim. So we dug around to see if there were any facts to support it. What we found had all the makings of a mishmash talking point stringing together different information relating to Haiti recovery efforts — such as a message from the last player in a game of “Telephone.” The Facts The Clintons played a major role in recovery efforts in Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Former president Bill Clinton was the public face of U.S. efforts in Haiti through several recovery roles. He was the United Nations special envoy to Haiti, co-leader of the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund (with former president George W. Bush) and co-chairman of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, a quasi-government planning body that approved hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. government-funded recovery projects. The U.S. Agency for International Development supported the commission’s efforts, and Hillary Clinton led the U.S. response in Haiti as secretary of state. The Clinton Foundation raised more than $30 million for Haiti relief projects. The Clinton family’s charitable work in Haiti has been a mix of success, disappointment and controversy. As our Washington Post colleagues reported, some Clinton-backed projects didn’t come through, such as a $2 million housing expo for thousands of new housing units. The Government Accountability Office found poor planning and unsustainable outcomes for taxpayer-funded projects through USAID, such as a $170 million power plant and port for the Caracol Industrial Park, which the Clinton Foundation promoted. Hillary Clinton’s younger brother had connections to a mining project in Haiti, raising suspicions among Haitians about the Clintons’ motives. Luxury hotel projects paid by the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund promised construction jobs — but for Haitians, it represented another disconnect between Clinton-backed efforts and the realities of one of the poorest countries struggling to rebuild after one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the Western Hemisphere. There’s real frustration among Haitians over failures in progress promised to them, not just by the Clintons but from the international community at large. In 2015, Haitian activists protested outside the Clinton Foundation in New York, claiming the Clintons mismanaged hundreds of millions in taxpayer money through the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission. But there is no evidence that Hillary Clinton, through the Clinton Foundation, raised “hundreds of millions of dollars” for a hospital that was never built. We consulted groups that have been critical of recovery delays in Haiti, but they could not point to a specific Clinton Foundation-funded hospital project, either. “We’ve tried to figure out what he might be citing as well, but we can’t provide you with a source of his claim because one doesn’t exist,” said Craig Minassian, a Clinton Foundation spokesman. “The Clinton Foundation never committed to build a hospital, nor did it accept, raise, or spend funds for that purpose. His claim is false.” At a joint news conference held with Haiti's then-President-elect Michel Martelly on April 20, 2011, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke about the progress the country had made towards recovery with help from the U.S. and how much was left to do. (C-SPAN) There are hospital projects that have been delayed, but there’s no evidence that there were “hundreds of millions of dollars” in foundation money promised to those efforts. For example, the USAID inspector general found delays in the $99 million reconstruction of medical facilities and medical supply warehouses through the Health Infrastructure Program. This program included the $82.3 million construction of the country’s key public hospital, the Hospital of the State University of Haiti in Port-au-Prince, one of the first projects that the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission approved. But the project is backed by money from the U.S. government, Haiti and France — not the Clinton Foundation. Another major hospital project was the University Hospital in Mirebalais, run by Partners in Health, a group that has worked on recovery efforts with the Clinton Foundation. This hospital opened in 2013, and Partners in Health confirmed that no donation of “hundreds of millions of dollars” was committed by the Clinton Foundation for the project. (The Clinton Foundation is not listed as a supporter.) The Clinton Foundation helped provide solar panels at Hospital Bernard Mevs in Port-au-Prince, a trauma center. But Minassian said the foundation did not commit hundreds of millions of dollars for construction of a new facility. Perhaps Cohen was referring to the $500 million in “commitments to action” that the Clinton Foundation announced would be used for projects in Haiti. The commitments were secured from private businesses through the Clinton Global Initiative. The commitments are public pledges that companies made at a Clinton Global Initiative conference, promising to do good in the world. The Clinton Global Initiative tracks progress of the commitments but is not responsible for their implementation. The Pinocchio Test There’s a lot of criticism lodged against the Clintons for their involvement with recovery efforts in Haiti. But Cohen’s claim that Hillary Clinton raised hundreds of millions of dollars through the Clinton Foundation for a hospital that was never delivered is not credible. There is, indeed, a major public hospital in Port-au-Prince that has been delayed, even though it was one of the first projects approved by the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. The commission was co-chaired by Bill Clinton, who became the face of many recovery efforts in Haiti. Cohen can blame Bill Clinton’s leadership on the commission, or the managing of taxpayer money for this project. But that claim is entirely different from the one Cohen made. Perhaps Cohen was referring to the $500 million in “commitments to action” for Haiti initiatives announced by the Clinton Foundation. But not all of the commitments were relating to health care or building a hospital, and the commitments don’t involve Clinton Foundation money. We’ve done our part to check out his claim, but the burden of proof still lies with Cohen. If he wants to respond and point us to a specific source, we’re eager to take a look. In the meantime, he earns Four Pinocchios. Four Pinocchios

Subject: How Hillary Can Crash Planes, Trains And Automobiles Fri Feb 02, 2018 10:03 am
#2 February 1, 2018 This Is How Hillary Can Crash Planes, Trains And Automobiles - Remember Journalist Michael Hastings Deadly Car Crash Before He Could Publish Devastating Obama Expose - 'In Politics, Nothing Happens By Accident - If It Happens, You Can Bet It Was Planned That Way' By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
While some argue the quote "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way" allegedly made by Franklin D. Roosevelt was never said by him, all across the internet a connection was made yesterday between the forthcoming release of the FISA memo and Wednesday's Virginia train crash as Republicans and their families made their way to a retreat in West Virginia.
And while the retreat had long been planned and a yearly occurrence and not 'Republicans suddenly escaping to the underground bunker' that just happens to be at the Greenbrier Resort as some people thought might be happening, as we hear in the final video below titled "How Hillary Crashes Cars And Planes", it's well within the 'deep states' power to suddenly stall a garbage truck on train tracks in Virginia or any place else for that matter.
In fact as we learn in that video, Hillary Clinton and the 'Rose Law Firm' in Arkansas are directly tied to the patent and company that create the QRS-11, the 'backdoor' in every moving vehicle that allows 'stealth assassinations' to be ruled as 'accidents'.
While the mainstream media truth-distorting apparatus quickly lashed out at all of the 'conspiracy theories' that were going viral across the internet about the crash and the possibility that we were witnessing a 'deep state hit' upon Republican members of Congress even making its way into Facebook's trending news section, even the Washington Post reported back on March 8th of 2017 that the CIA had the ability to hack into and crash cars with this stunning line within the first paragraph of their story: the agency has looked into hacking cars, which WikiLeaks asserts could be used to carry out “nearly undetectable assassinations.”
And while that would be old news to people who followed what happened back in 2013 to journalist Michael Hastings, the number of people who have met their untimely ends in mysterious crashes and who somehow had ties to Hillary Clinton is absolutely astounding as seen in the stupefying graphic at the bottom of this story.
As Jerome Corsi reported on WND back on August 29th of 2013, Hastings was preparing to publish a major investigative piece tied to the undercover agent who is suspected of sanitizing President Obama’s passport records prior to the 2008 presidential election. And while most of the life of Barack Obama remains hidden nearly 8 years later, something has so spooked the majority of the Democratic Party and the 'deep state' that 'creating an incident' might be the only way to take the attention off of the tidal wave that is coming.
With AOL, Vanity Fair, Vice, Salon, Media Matters, Vox, the Daily Beast and Snopes all putting out stories yesterday attempting to debunk these 'conspiracy theories' showing the kind of 'co-ordinated response' we've long seen coming from the left, we're not the least bit surprised that 'gatekeeper' Google joined them by highly promoting their attempts to debunk.
As AOL reports, according to 'conspiracy theorist' Alex Jones, the train/garbage truck crash that happened in Virginia was taken straight from the pages of a CIA hit by placing an already dead body inside of the truck and pushing it on to the tracks as we read in this Infowars story and hear in the 1st video below. As Jones asks us, what are the odds that such a crash would happen the day after President Trump's State of the Union address and soon before the forthcoming 'release of the menu'? Jones also claims this 'crash' was an attempt at a 'stealth hit' in an ongoing civil war.
The fact that even globalist gatekeeper and one-time Facebook 'arbiter of truth' Snopes got involved attempting to debunk these 'conspiracy theories' and reported that "no evidence validates claims of foul play in a train crash involving Republican members of Congress", without even doing any real investigation into the the ability of the deep state to crash planes, trains and automobiles, tells us this really may have been some kind of 'deep state hit' with a cover-up ongoing.
According to WND writer Corsi, we were just warned that such events might happen as the 'deep state' goes into full panic mode with potential false flag attacks ahead as seen in the two screenshots of recent Corsi tweets both above and below.
And while ANP is not in the position at this moment to prove that Wednesday's train crash was caused by the deep state, as we reported Wednesday prior to the crash, all eyes and ears should be wide open and Americans totally prepared for the kind of event that might be brought on by a corrupt power structure exposed before America's eyes with the release of the memo.
If US Congressman Scott Perry is correct and this memo details a 'KGB-type' power structure in America that is about to be exposed, we expect that they will continue to do everything within their power to make sure it never gets out.
In the 2nd video below our videographer talks with us about the train crash and 'Q-Anon's' recent deep state warning that Corsi tweeted about above, warning us to keep our eyes open for false flag events and assassinations.
In the last video below from the American Intelligence Media we learn about the technology behind the deep state ability to take down planes or crash cars and get away with 'stealth assassinations' that are forever swept away as 'accidents' into the 'dustbin' of history. Thanks so much to ANP reader Pine 4 Better Daze for making us aware of this video.
As we're informed, the QRS-11 is a powerful device placed in all moving vehicles including planes, cars, busses, trains, missiles, and satellites. This is an eye-opening conversation in a video that was published prior to Wednesday's train crash. They immediately begin to detail Hillary Clinton's ties to the very patent and company that creates these potentially deadly 'stealth assassination' devices. As our videographers share with us, knowing this at least allows us to know what potential dangers are being hidden from 'we the American people', technology that may have been used on Wednesday against Republican members of Congress.

COURTESY WILD BLUE MEDIA/NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Using a revolutionary technology known as LiDAR (short for “Light Detection And Ranging”), scholars digitally removed the tree canopy from aerial images of the now-unpopulated landscape, revealing the ruins of a sprawling pre-Columbian civilization that was far more complex and interconnected than most Maya specialists had supposed.
“The LiDAR images make it clear that this entire region was a settlement system whose scale and population density had been grossly underestimated,” said Thomas Garrison, an Ithaca College archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer who specializes in using digital technology for archaeological research.
Garrison is part of a consortium of researchers who are participating in the project, which was spearheaded by the PACUNAM Foundation, a Guatemalan nonprofit that fosters scientific research, sustainable development, and cultural heritage preservation.

“Tip of The Iceberg” – The Pending Intelligence Memo is The Beginning, Not The End…
Posted on February 2, 2018 by sundance There continue to be questions about the substance behind the pending release of the House Intelligence Committee memo. With that release in mind, today it is worthwhile remembering this is the beginning of exposing the corruption within the DOJ not the end.
For several years the U.S. justice department has maintained an attitude of non-accountability within its ranks. The Obama years elevated that attitude and provided multiple examples of a DOJ gone rogue. A complicit media enables that attitude by engineering a false narrative the U.S. Justice Department was/is an independent fourth branch of government; unaccountable to congress and entirely separate from the executive branch. The House Intelligence Memo is simply using the example of currently known FISA abuse to open the door and show the U.S. electorate how corrupt this unaccountable institution has become. Behind that door are very uncomfortable realities for all of those who constructed the weaponized agency; and also those who have benefited from it. Consider:
♦When IRS head Lois Learner unlawfully sent the 21 CD-ROM’s containing the “Schedule B” filings of over a million Americans to the Obama administration, the recipient was the DOJ. (LINK) It was the DOJ who was chosen to utilize the political lists in their “Secret Research Project“. ♦When U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen demanded DOJ lawyers attend ethics classes due to their false representations to his court – he was highlighting a corrupt DOJ. (LINK) ♦When the case against the Bundy family was recently thrown out of court, it was the “gross malicious conduct” of the DOJ highlighted by the judge. (LINK) This is the same DOJ who denied their own Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, the right to conduct oversight on DOJ internal action. (LINK – pdf) The expressed Justice Department intent in every action has been an attempt to remain unaccountable. The U.S. Justice Department has become a rogue agency weaponized against it’s political opposition in almost every jurisdiction. This is the pervasive attitude, an air of ideological unaccountability, found rampant within every corrupt system. So it doesn’t come as a surprise when the epicenter of that attitude in Washington DC balks at the concept of having oversight, and thumbs their nose at congress by refusing to turn over the underlying FISA application documents. The House Intelligence Committee, Chairman Devin Nunes, has oversight over the entire intelligence apparatus, including DOJ/FBI counterintelligence and the FISA Courts. The House Judiciary Committee, Chairman Bob Goodlatte, has statutory oversight over the entire Department of Justice. The Senate Judiciary Committee, Chairman Chuck Grassley, has oversight over the federal court processes used by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, is the internal DOJ watchdog.
Unfortunately the corruption appears systemic within the entire justice system. This is the problem currently being confronted. This is also a system being defended by a political media apparatus who have benefited from seeing their opposition targeted. The American people became the threat to their system. The American people became their enemy. This outlook sounds stark, but this is exactly the way the DOJ has behaved. We The People are in an abusive relationship with the Department of Justice. Representative Mark Meadows puts it thusly:
Quote :
THREAD: Because through all the “memo” news and headlines, it’s critical to remember why this issue is important and why it should matter to everyday Americans. What this issue is all about: whether the Department of Justice and FBI, under President Obama, abused their surveillance authority against American citizens and political opponents. Put another way: was the Obama DOJ weaponized to spy on the Trump campaign? Remember, in general, the DOJ and FBI spying on American citizens should automatically be met with MAJOR skepticism. That’s what the Fourth Amendment is designed to protect against. When those American citizens are ALSO political opponents? It should raise even more red flags. So, take that principle, and look at what happened in this case. The DOJ spied on Carter Page, an American citizen. Red flag. Carter Page was also part of the Trump campaign. Double red flag. It should automatically raise questions. Now, pause: we know about the Peter Strzok/Lisa Page texts, the “missing” texts, the McCabe concerns, etc. But this is about more. Focus on the dossier here–the political opposition research project put together by Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS, and the DNC by extension. Quite simply: This infamous “Russian Dossier” was unverified political opposition research paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. If the Department of Justice used information like that as a key part of getting a surveillance warrant, it would be a HUGE problem. Now, from what we’ve already known for months, it sure looks like that’s exactly what happened: that the FBI used that very dossier to get a warrant. @Jim Jordan asked the FBI about it 2 months ago. I asked too. We asked for the FISA application, and the FBI wouldn’t show us. WATCH:https://youtu.be/N7A3QViXy-8
Quote :
We’ve asked repeatedly for information from the FBI, both privately and publicly. We’ve openly told FBI and DOJ officials–if we’re wrong, tell us! Tell us what was in the FISA application. Let us see the document. But we’ve been stonewalled for almost a year. So the bottom line is this: if, in 2016, the DOJ and FBI used an unverified, Clinton/DNC paid-for dossier to spy on American citizens (and political opponents) in the Trump campaign, that is as wrong as it gets. If that happened, Americans deserve to know about it. Period. I know we live in a hyper-partisan environment, and I know it can be easy to disregard any inquiry like this as party politics. I understand that. But this is so far above politics, folks. Lady Justice wears a blindfold. Her scale is supposed to be balanced. If any Department of Justice, Republican or Democrat, put their thumb on the scale for the sake of politics–it would undermine the very fabric of who we are as a nation. Americans deserve the truth, one way or the other. Last point: If you remember anything from this news cycle, remember: your right as an American to privacy from your government spying on you is critical. It is foundational to who we are as a Republic. Never take that right for granted, no matter the political party you belong to. (link)
The release of the House Intelligence Memo is only the tip of the iceberg; the crack in the door to see just how corrupt the unaccountable Justice System became. There are going to be many more revelations as the investigations into the FBI and DOJ continue. Combine that understanding with the pending OIG Horowitz report, and we have only just begun to see how bad this is… The key aspect to begin restoring a system when it has fallen into the clutches of corruption, is to remove their internal image of unaccountability. The DOJ and FBI are part of the Executive Branch and they are accountable to congressional oversight. We need to constantly remind people of that, and push back against this insufferable media-generated narrative of the DOJ being an independent fourth branch of government.

[size=36]ALERT: When the FISA memo is released, watch for massive, coordinated censorship and “glitches” across Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube Thursday, February 01, 2018 by: Mike Adams Tags: Censorship, chaos, civil unrest, civil war, computing, FISA memo, Google, Hillary Clinton, preparedness, President Trump, search engines, Social media, tech giants[/size]
4,100VIEWS
[size] (Natural News) The release of the FISA memo is imminent, according to numerous sources, which means the covert, criminal deep state that flourished under the corruption of the Obama regime is about to be exposed for all to see. Accordingly, the deep state is in a whole new state of absolute panic. The “Schiff” is about to hit the fan. The new history of America is about to be emblazoned on our collective consciousness, and we will never look at government the same way again.
Tech giants will collude to suppress all truthful information about the FISA memo
Because the deep state operates in collusion with social media to stifle independent journalism and push false, deceptive narratives that deliberately misinform the masses — take the “Russia collusion” hoax as an especially salient example — we should expect search engines and social media to be heavily pressured to censor all posts about the facts revealed in the FISA memo. This means a “near-blackout” will likely be put in place to shadow ban or outright banwebsites, social media accounts, YouTube users and others who dare to cover details of the FISA memo. The insane, hate-filled and hopelessly corrupt “Left Cult” of America (which now dominates the ranks of tech giants) will stop at nothing to try to memory holethe reality that’s now being revealed. The criminality of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and a long list of other deep state operatives will be inescapable. Ultimately, as the evidence is meticulously followed and applicable laws are applied, people like Hillary Clinton will be indicted and imprisoned for their treasonous crimes against America. Google, which is now run by a lunatic Left-wing cult of insane Clinton worshipers, will no doubt attempt to blacklist sites like Natural News, InfoWars, Breitbart and others who are daring to engage in real journalism. Facebook will shadow ban accounts that post FISA memo details, and Twitter will make sure user accounts suffer mysterious “glitches” that prevent users from posting tweets. The full force of the hate-filled, anti-American, totally unhinged tech giant cult will be unleashed across the internet in a last-ditch, desperate attempt to silence the shocking, mind-blowing truth contained in the FISA memo.
Make a special effort to go DIRECTLY to the news sites that report the truth
For this reason, you must make a special effort to go directly to your favorite independent media websites by typing the URLs into your browser. Do NOT rely on Google, Facebook or Twitter to bring you truthful content about the FISA memo. They will distort, suppress or simply wipe out all content they don’t want you to see. That’s how dangerous the FISA memo truly is to the totalitarian narratives of the hopelessly corrupt Left. Remember, too, that they are the ones who abused government power by “weaponizing” the FBI and DOJ to destroy their political opposition, all while absurdly claiming it was Trump who meddled with the election. There are too many amazing websites to list here, but some of the “must-read” websites that will offer shocking but true coverage of the FISA memo include: Censored.news | TheNationalSentinel.com | TheGatewayPundit.com | InfoWars.com | AllNewsPipeline.com | Breitbart.com | TheDailySheeple.com | SHTFplan.com | SGTreport.com | PJMedia.com
I publicly predicted Trump would win the election… here’s my prediction for what happens next
Before the 2016 election, I publicly predicted Donald Trump would win an election victory. For being proven correct, I was mocked by the Washington Post, which has since proven to consist of a cesspool of presstitutes and professional liars who despise democracy and have actively conspired with the deep state to publish maliciously false “news” based on fictitious sources. (This is the new standard of “journalism” on the Left: They fabricate anything they want, call it “anonymously sourced,” and publish it as “fact.”) Tonight, mere hours before the release of the FISA memo, I am publicly predicting that these shocking revelations will eventually lead to the indictment of Hillary Clinton. It may take months or even a couple of years for that to happen, but if the laws of this nation are truly applied equally across all citizens, they demand that Hillary Clinton be charged with multiple felony crimes for destruction of evidence, theft of government property, obstruction of justice, violations of national secrecy laws, collusion, corruption and possibly even RICO Act racketeering crimes. (I’m not predicting she’ll be charged with all those at once, just that she will be indicted on something, sooner or later.) If hints about its contents are true, this FISA memo utter destroys the blatant lies and disinformation engineering of left-wing bureaucrats like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi, two of the most mentally deranged figures to ever haunt our nation’s political stage. Nancy Pelosi is a walking poster child for the long-term dangers of mass medication, and Adam Schiff is a sociopathic, paranoid idiot with the IQ of a doormat and the ethics of a Satanist. Once the full details of this memo are made public, both of these putrid propagandists will see their careers — and their credibility — utterly obliterated for all time.
Be ready, because this will also lead to civil unrest and an attempted violent revolution of the communist Left
As I’ve predicted in my podcasts at HealthRangerReport.com, the criminal indictment of Hillary Clinton is likely to set off a nationwide revolt of deranged, violent Leftists who attempt a communist takeover of America, mostly by burning down sections of their own miserable, bankrupt cities. Their attempt will fail, of course, but it will require National Guard involvement — and effective “martial law” on a temporary basis — to quell. Radical Antifa forces will self-activate during all this, carrying out “suicide mission” assaults on local police and Guard troops. Blood will be spilled in the streets of American cities, and when the defeat of these Antifa radical is finally accomplished, this country will have rid itself of some of the most dangerous, deranged left-wing lunatics any of us have ever witnessed. It won’t take long for police, National Guard troops and private military contractors to regain control and restore law and civility to America’s cities, and in the aftermath of that, we will rightfully see mass arrests of left-wing terrorists who can finally join their favorite mafia boss Hillary Clinton behind bars. Those mass arrests, by the way, must include the hundreds of terror-recruiting collegeprofessors who have exploited their university privileges to recruit actual left-wing terrorists under the guise of “education,” as Horowitz’s Front Page Mag has meticulously documented.
This is what taking back your country looks like
Cleaning up this country isn’t going to be pretty, but as Rush Limbaugh rightly states, this is what taking back America looks like. You have to defeat the communists, defeat the terrorists, defeat the deep state and reestablish the rule of law. Those who run the deep state — and the media mouthpieces that parrot its engineered propaganda — will resist with everything they’ve got, no matter how irrational or insane. Because they know what you and I already know: Once the truth comes out, the radical Left is finished. And with that, their psychopathic dreams of overthrowing this nation and installing a totalitarian dictator as “President” melts into oblivion. The political Left in America is about to be thoroughly exposed for the deceptive, lawless, lying cesspool of collusion and corruption that it has always been. The false facade of “compassion” and “hope” is about to be ripped away, exposing the ogres and demons lurking inside. Stay informed. Read LeftCult.com and all your other favorite independent media websites. Defend America. Share the truth about the FISA memo with everyone you know. And most of all, be prepared to defend your nation against any attempt to destroy it, overthrow it or transform it into a left-wing “utopian” communist regime.[/size]

Subject: FISA-ABUSE MEMO RELEASED! HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS Fri Feb 02, 2018 12:07 pm
Category: U.S. National News Friday, 02 February 2018 12:06
2 Comments
The Hal Turner Radio Show has confirmed that as of 11:30 AM eastern US time, the White House had dispatched a Secure Courier to the Capital Building, to deliver the FISA-Abuse Memo and Presidential approval to Declassify it, to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence for their release to the public later today. The memo has now returned to the Capital. The nation awaits its public release.
UPDATE 12:17 PM EST --
White House spokesman Raj Shah said the document has been transmitted to the minority and majority members in the House Intelligence Committee. The document was also sent to House Speaker Paul Ryan's office, Shah said. The White House requested no redactions, Shah said. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump implied the memo revealed political bias at the FBI. He said he believed the purported bias was a "disgrace" and said certain people should be "ashamed of themselves." The memo, spearheaded by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, alleges that the FBI used the opposition research dossier on Trump and Russia written by ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele to secure a FISA surveillance warrant on former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page without disclosing that the dossier was funded in part by Democratic sources. In a statement earlier this week, Nunes said, "It's clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign."

Reported that the fake dossier was needed to get the FISA warrant. Without it, no Trump surveillance would have been possible since no FISA warrant would have been issued.
Fake info used for falsely generated FISA warrant, confirmed!
UPDATE 12:22 PM EST - MEMO RELEASED
The House Intelligence Committee has released its controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department in the Trump-Russia investigation. Here are some key points: * The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
* Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information. * The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications. * DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president. The FBI and Justice Department mounted a monthslong effort to keep the information outlined in the memo out of the House Intelligence Committee's hands. Only the threat of contempt charges and other forms of pressure forced the FBI and Justice to give up the material. Once Intelligence Committee leaders and staff compiled some of that information into the memo, the FBI and Justice Department, supported by Capitol Hill Democrats, mounted a ferocious campaign of opposition, saying release of the memo would endanger national security and the rule of law. But Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes never wavered in his determination to make the information available to the public. President Trump agreed, and, as required by House rules, gave his approval for release. Finally, the memo released today does not represent the sum total of what House investigators have learned in their review of the FBI and Justice Department Trump-Russia investigation. That means the fight over the memo could be replayed in the future when the Intelligence Committee decides to release more information.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 2, 2018 The Honorable Devin Nunes Chairman, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: On January 29, 2018, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (hereinafter "the Committee") voted to disclose publicly a memorandum containing classified information provided to the Committee in connection with its oversight activities (the "Memorandum," which is attached to this letter). As provided by clause 11(g) of Rule X of the House of Representatives, the Committee has forwarded this Memorandum to the President based on its determination that the release of the Memorandum would serve the public interest. The Constitution vests the President with the authority to protect national security secrets from disclosure. As the Supreme Court has recognized, it is the President's responsibility to classify, declassify, and control access to information bearing on our intelligence sources and methods and national defense. See, e.g., Dep 't of Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 527 (1988). In order to facilitate appropriate congressional oversight, the Executive Branch may entrust classified information to the appropriate committees of Congress, as it has done in connection with the Committee's oversight activities here. The Executive Branch does so on the assumption that the Committee will responsibly protect such classified information, consistent with the laws of the United States. The Committee has now determined that the release of the Memorandum would be appropriate. The Executive Branch, across Administrations of both parties, has worked to accommodate congressional requests to declassify specific materials in the public interest.' However, public release of classified information by unilateral action of the Legislative Branch is extremely rare and raises significant separation of powers concerns. Accordingly, the Committee's request to release the Memorandum is interpreted as a request for declassification pursuant to the President's authority. The President understands that the protection of our national security represents his highest obligation. Accordingly, he has directed lawyers and national security staff to assess the declassification request, consistent with established standards governing the handling of classified information, including those under Section 3.1(d) of Executive Order 13526. Those standards permit declassification when the public interest in disclosure outweighs any need to protect the infonnation. The White House review process also included input from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department ofJustice. Consistent vvith this review and these standards, the President has determined that declassification of the Memorandum is appropriate. Based on this assessment and in light of the significant public interest in the memorandum, the President has authorized the declassification of the Memorandum. To be clear, the Memorandum reflects the judgments of its congressional authors. The President understands that oversight concerning matters related to the Memorandum may be continuing. Though the circumstances leading to the declassification through this process am extraordinary, the Executive Branch stands ready to work with Congress to accommodate oversight itquests consistent with applicable standards and processes, including the need to protect intelligence sources and methods. Sincerely, Donald F. McGahn II Counsel to the President
UNCLASSIFIEIrw°"""" Declassified by order of the President January 18, 2018 February 2, 2018 To: HPSCI Majority Members From: HPSCI Majority Staff Subject: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Ptinsm. This memorandum provides Members an update on significant facts relating to the Committee's ongoing investigation into the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) during the 2016 presidential election cycle. Our findings, which are detailed below, 1) raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FLSC), and 2) represent a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process. Investigation Update On October 21, 2016, DOJ and FBI sought and received a FISA probable cause order Casa under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC. Page is a U.S. citizen who served as a volunteer advisor to the Trump presidential campaign. Consistent with requirements under FISA, the application had to be first certified by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI. It then required the approval of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General (DAG), or the Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division. The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant targeting Carter Page and three FISA renewals from the FISC. As required by statute (50 U.S.C. §1805(dX1)), a FISA order on an American citizen must be renewed by the FISC every 90 days and each renewal requires a separate folding of probable cause. Then-Director James Comey signed three FISA applications in question on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one. Then-DAG Sally Yates, then-Acting DAG Dana Boente, and DAG Rod Rosenstein each signed one or more FISA applications on behalf of DOJ. Due to the sensitive nature of foreign intelligence activity, FISA submissions (including renewals) before the FISC are classified. As such, the public's confidence in the integrity of the FISA process depends on the court's ability to hold the government to the highest standard—particularly as it relates to surveillance of American citizens. However, the FISC's rigor in protecting the rights of Americans, which is remtorced by 90-day renewals of surveillance orders, is necessarily dependent on the govenunent's production to the court of all material and relevant facts. This should include information potentially favorable to the target of the FISA application that is known by the government. In the case of Carter Page, the government had at least four independent opportunities before the FISC to accurately provide an accounting of the relevant facts. However, our findings indicate that, as described below, material and relevant information was omitted.
1) The "dossier" compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia.
a) Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele's efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials.
b) The initial FISA application notes Steele was working for a named U.S. person, but does not name Fusion GPS and principal Glenn Simpson, who was paid by a U.S. law final (Perkins Coie) representing the DNC (even though it was known by DOS at the time that political actors were involved with the Steele dossier). The application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of—and paid by--the DNC and Clinton campaign, or that the FBI had separately authorized payment to Steele for the same information.
2) The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016, Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page's July 2016 trip to Moscow. This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News. The Page FISA application incorrectly assesses that Steele did not directly provide information to Yahoo News. Steele has admitted in British court filings that he met with Yahoo News--and several other outlets—in September 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS. Perkins Cole was aware of Steele's initial media contacts because they hosted at least one meeting in Washington D.C. in 2016 with Steele and Fusion GPS where this matter was discussed.
a) Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBI source for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations--an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI in an October 30, 2016, Mother Jones article by David Corn. Steele should have been terminated for his previous undisclosed contacts with Yahoo and other outlets in September—before the Page application was submitted to UNCLASSIFIED
the FISC in October—but Steele improperly concealed from and lied to the FBI about those contacts. b) Steele's numerous encounters with the media violated the cardinal rule of source handling—maintaining confidentiality—and denaonstrated that Steele had become a less than reliable source for the FBI. 3) Before and after Steele was terminated as a source, he maintained contact with DOJ via then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, a senior DOJ official who worked closely with Deputy Attorneys General Yates and later Rosenstein. Shortly after the election, the FBI began interviewing Ohr, documenting bis communications with Steele. For example, hi September 2016, Steele admitted to Oho his feelings against then-candidate Trump when Steele said he "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about !Ana not being president." This clear evidence of Steele's bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files—but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications.
a) During this same titne period, Ohr's wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife's opposition research, paid for by the ANC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs' relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the FISC. 4) According to the head of the FBI's counterintelligence division, Assistant Director Bill Priestap, corroboration of the Steele dossier was in its "infancy" at the time of the initial Page FISA application. After Steele was terminated, a source validation report conducted by an independent Imit within FBI assessed Steele's reporting as only minimally corroborated. Yet, in early January 2017, Director Comey briefed President-elect Trump on a summary of the Steele dossier, even though it was--according to his June 2017 testimony—"salacious and unverified." While hie FISA application relied on Steele's past record of credible reporting on other unrelated matters, it ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations. Furthermore, Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in Deceroper 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information. UNClAkSSIFIED
5) The Page FISA application also mentions information regarding fellow Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, but there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos. The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok. Strzok was reassigned by the Special Counsel's Office to FBI Human Resources for improper text messages with his mistress, FBI Attorney Lisa Page (no known relation to Carter Page), where they both demonstrated a clear bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton, whom Strzok had also investigated. The Strzok/Lisa Page texts also reflect extensive discussions about the investigation, orchestrating leaks to the media, and include a meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an "insurance" policy against President Trump's election.

Subject: DRIPS FROM THE SKY = YOU, FOOD ... The Real Purpose of Chemtrails Fri Feb 02, 2018 12:13 pm
#8 The Real Purpose of Chemtrails – Dave Hodges – The Common Sense Show
The Real Purpose of Chemtrails
Sometimes in the business of reporting, we receive information that appears to be both important and true. However, the information may lack the ability to totally confirm the claims. Therefore, when this has happened in the past, I take the issue to the general public as well as to my trusted sources with expertise in these areas. This is one of these times as I am placing shocking claims, that I can partially verify, in front of trusted private sources as well as the general public in an effort to shake the trees to see what falls out. This is actually my second attempt at writing this article. A funny thing happened on the way to writing the previous article on this topic: [list="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"] [*]My screen went totally blank on two occasions and I had to reboot. Because I frequently save my work, I was able to recover the work.
[*]Despite saving my work approximately every 3-5 minutes, the entire article was stripped as it was 95% completed.
[/list] Today, I have taken precautions involving duplication that will not allow this to happen again. I had previously, about a week ago, written an article on an investigation I did into space-based weapons, I was forced to publish this article a few days earlier than planned. Today, marks my second attempt to make this information go public. These events tell me that this information is disturbing to someone who has te ability to penetrate my highly secure website. In my mind, this has increased the legitmacy of what you are about to read.
[size=42]Chemtrails Are Largely Ignored On The Common Sense Show[/size]
Followers of The Common Sense Show know that the subject of chemtrails is not something that I ordinarily cover in my various forms of media outlets. However, over the past 6 months, I have been receiving communications whose delivery system is similar to what I have received for sources, related to government agencies. In other words, this supposed source, previously unknown to me, knows what they are doing. The originators of the communications have admonished me to not copy and paste thee communications because it could lead to the identifcation of the source. Therefore, the information is presented as a series of paraphrased excerpts. It should be mentioned that I have ignored the communications because I was unable to verfiy very much of what the source was telling me, until recently. The communications were highly intellectual, so I suspected that this was a disinformation ploy and this certainly would not be the first time the “left” attempted to engage in such a strategy with regard to my investigations. Because of the sabotage of the previous article and the fact that I can now partially verify some of the claims, I am presenting the findings here and asking others to look into this as well so we can collectively assess the threat to humanity.
[size=42]What is a Chemtrail?[/size]
Over the past 10 years, I have interviewed Ty Bollinger several times. Chemtrails were never the major source of our interviews, however, I was aware the Ty had an interest in the topic and my revelations proved fruitful. Here is Bollinger’s definition of a chemtrail:
Quote :
Chemtrails are geo-engineered aerosols that are loaded with toxic chemicals, including but not limited to: barium, strontium 90, aluminum, cadmium, zinc, viruses and “chaff.” Chaff looks like snow but it’s actually Mylar fibers (like in fiberglass) coated with aluminum, desiccated blood cells, plastic, and paper. Polymer chemist Dr. R. Michael Castle has studied atmospheric polymers for years, and he has identified microscopic polymers comprised of genetically-engineered fungal forms mutated with viruses, which are now part of the air we breathe. Unlike normal contrails which quickly dissipate, chemtrails (“fake clouds” as my children call them) sometimes take hours to dissipate and eventually fan out to a “spider web” type of milky haze that covers the entire sky. As these are formed from minute reflective metallic particulates they eventually reach the earth…
Bollinger’s definition matches, in part, with what I have been receiving.
[size=42]Covert Communications[/size]
The following is a series of excerpts, stemming from several communications that I have received from an unknown confidential source with regard to this topic.
Quote :
Mr. Hodges, …Chemtrails consist of nanobot polymers that are ingested by human beings. These polymers are microscopic and it enters the host through the air, water and our food supplies… …Chemtrail particulates are part of the weather patterns and they are designed to infect the entire human species and there is nowhere human beings can hide…. …I know for a fact that these particulates are designed to compromise immune systems with time-delayed effects… …the chemtrails can induce mood changes…. …the particulates are biospecific in that they can target certain groups of people… —It is known that about 80% of the exposed population will eventually succumb and their compromised immune systems will eventually lead to their demise. From the models, it is theorized that the remaining 20% will be increasingly docile and relatively easy to control…. …When I look at what I know, I believe that chemtrails are going to destroy the food supply on this planet. What will replace it, I have no direct knowledge, but I suspect that this is the ultimate application of using food as a weapon….Male sperm counts are deliberately being impacted. There is no other conclusion than the creators of this technology want human beings to eventually stop reproducing.
Does this blend in with transhumanism and its goals of morphing and controlling human beings?
Quote :
Here are just a few more patents relating to chemtrails and geoengineering for those who doubt the authenticity of what is being claimed:
Patent #1619183
Patent# 2045865
Patent# 2591988
Patent# 3437502
Patent# 3531310
It is on these final points that Ty Bollinger weighs in.
Quote :
…what goes up, must come down and we’re being bombarded daily with a chemical and radioactive fallout surpassed only by Agent Orange, the defoliating chemicals developed by Monsanto to wipe out the jungles during the Vietnam War… Since aluminum has an affinity for water, all life forms attract these oxides. This causes contamination of even organic fruits, vegetables, and livestock if they’re exposed to the open air, because plants readily absorb aluminum salts from the soil into their vascular systems. Everything absorbs aluminum salts and it’s in the air. (TIME FOR GREEN HOUSES AND DOME HOUSES) Processed foods are filled with aluminum salts and aluminum sulfate is added to water to make it clear. Apparently we are in the “Aluminum Age” and it’s everywhere, but so unhealthy according to Dr. Christopher Exley, Professor of Bioinorganic Chemistry at Keele University in the UK… …published in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry demonstrates that exposure to aluminum can increase migratory and invasive properties of human breast cancer cells, while a 2012 article in the Journal of Applied Toxicology shows that aluminium promotes growth in human mammary epithelial cells. And “aluminum production” has been classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Couple these studies with other recent studies indicating that aluminum binds to cellular estrogen receptors and may cause proliferation within hormone-sensitive tissues, and we understand why one research team coined a new term (“metallo-estrogen”) to describe an entirely new class of metal-based endocrine disruptors (including aluminum, cadmium, and barium). Disturbingly, all of these metallo-estrogenshave been found in chemtrails.
Ty Bollinger concludes his research into these matters with the following excerpt:
Quote :
…there is a growing concern that the earth will soon become unfit for organic food and pure water sources because of the unrestricted spraying without our consent. It appears that “control of the masses” has taken on a whole new meaning….
Back in 2014, Dane Wigington weighed in on this topic and stated that the food supply was being negatively impacted by chemtrails. Dane is a guest on my radio show this Sunday evening.
[size=42]Conclusion[/size]
I am confident in stating that the viability of our total food supply is being imperiled by chemtrails. Further, I am confident that low sperm counts, are at least in part attributed to chemtrails. What I think it true, but I cannot totally confirm is to the degree that chemtrails are bioweapons with a definitive end game. I also cannot confirm the allegation that chemtrails are mood and behavior altering and for what purpose. Therefore, I am appealing to serious researchers to respond to this article with detailed references and research-based conclusions. There is obviously much more to come on this latest assault on humanity and this is my way of shaking the trees to see what falls out.

Subject: The Brick-and-Mortar-Retail Meltdown in January Fri Feb 02, 2018 12:22 pm
Sears Holdings, which has been on a highly effective hedge-fund-manager-designed program of cost-cutting itself to death, announced today that it obtained another $100-million loan from JPP, LLC and JPP II, LLC, which are solely owned by said hedge-fund manager and CEO of Sears Holdings, Eddy Lampert. After prior loans by the same entities and by Lampert’s hedge fund ESL were secured by the part of real estate that hadn’t been sold off in sweetheart deals to affiliated parties, the new loan is secured “by certain real property interests” and by “substantially all of the unencumbered intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries” except the IP related the Kenmore and DieHard brands. Stripping out while the stripping is still possible. Yesterday, Sears announced another step in cost-cutting itself to death: axing 220 jobs mostly at its corporate office. This was part of its stated goal to trim $1.25 billion from its annual expenses. After closing hundreds of Sears and Kmart stores last year, the company is on track to close 63 more stores in January. This will leave it with 1,041 Sears stores, down from 3,555 in 2010, and with about 500 Kmart stores. But sales are dropping even faster. In Q3 2017, the last quarterly report available, revenues fell to $3.7 billion, down 26% year over year and down 68% from Q3 2007. Sears shares [SHLD] currently trade at $2.41, down 6% for the day, and down from the Lampert-hype induced 52-week peak of $14 on April 19, 2017. Day traders are having fun riding them all the way to zero. A bankruptcy filing will occur after Lampert runs out of assets to strip. Now he’s going after Sears’ IP, meaning he’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. Bon-Ton Stores, which had hired bankruptcy advisors in September, announced some details yesterday on a new wave of store closings in early 2018, involving 42 stores. Bon-Ton has taken on a third-party liquidator to get rid of the merchandise in those stores. Liquidation sales begin today. On December 15, Bon-Ton failed to make a $14-million interest payment and opted to take the 30-day grace period instead. After the grace period expired, Bon-Ton announced on January 16 that it had entered into forbearance agreements with some of its lenders. These lenders agreed not to exercise the remedies available to them to go after the missed payment. That agreement expired on January 26…. A bankruptcy filing is imminent. Bon-Ton shares [BONT] are trading at 16 cents. They’re goners Stein Mart, with about 290 off-price stores in the US whose same-store sales had fallen about 7% in Q3 year-over-year, after having fallen 4.6% in the prior year, announced on Monday that, “given the continuing challenges of the retail environment,” it has formed a special committee to “review our strategic options,” “explore all opportunities,” and “identify potential strategic alternatives.” Since the announcement on Monday, shares have plunged 42% to 65 cents. They too are goners. Nine West Holdings – which focuses on women’s shoes, accessories, jeans, jewelry, and handbags sold at its own stores and at department stores – became subject of intense bankruptcy rumors on January 24, when “people with knowledge of the negotiations” told Bloomberg that the company was negotiating with some of its creditors on a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing before an interest payment comes due on March 15. It would include restructuring nearly $1.5 billion in debt, sell parts of the retailer, make first-lien lenders whole, hand a majority of the equity of the reorganized company to unsecured term-loan lenders, and hand a small part of the equity to bondholders as a consolation prize. These bonds traded at 11 cents on the dollar. The retailer was acquired by private-equity firm Sycamore Partners as part of its $2.2 billion leveraged buyout of Jones Group in 2014. Sycamore is becoming an old hand in failed brick-and-mortar retailers, including its portfolio company Aeropostale, which filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2016.

Eruption of Fuego volcano forces school closures, Orange Alert issuedPosted byTWonFebruary 02, 2018in
Guatemalan authorities issued an Orange Alert for Fuego volcano after its first eruption of the year on February 1, 2018. Explosions at the volcano lasted 20 hours, generating pyroclastic flows and a column of ash up to 6 500 m (21 325 feet) above sea level. Ash drifted up to 40 km (25 miles) to the west and southwest. CONRED said the eruption affected 47 704 people in the departments of Sacatepéquez, Chimaltenango, Escuintla and Suchitepéquez. Pyroclastic flows descended through the Honda, Santa Teresa, Las Lajas and Ceniza ravines with lengths between 700 and 1 500 meters (2 300 - 4 900 feet), INSIVUMEH reported. Ashfall was recorded in the La Rochela and Ceylon communities in Escuintla, Escuintla; in the urban centers of Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa and Siquinalá, Escuintla; San Pedro Yepocapa, Palo Verde Estate, Sangre de Cristo, Panimaché I and II, Santa Sofía, Morales and Yucales, in Yepocapa, Chimaltenango. In addition, authorities closed the National Route 14 at kilometer 90 due to the advance of pyroclastic flows. The closure was a preventive measure.

To provide a better response and coordination in the municipality, San Juan Alotenango, Sacatepéquez, declared Municipal Red Alert and activated the Municipal Emergency Operations Center, which identifies the places that could function as shelters. The population living in the vicinity of the volcano is urged to comply with instructions issued by authorities and stay away from the ravines or places that could be affected by ballistic materials expelled from the crater. In addition, precautionary measures must also be taken for ashfall, protecting the containers where water for human consumption is stored, covering eyes and respiratory passages in the presence of fine ash particles and reporting observed incidents at number 119 of the CONRED.[/size]

Jeremiah Johnson February 1st, 2018 SHTFplan.com
With everything you’ve seen thus far from the State of the Union address, the Democrat-Progressives, and Left-leaning Republicans are arraying themselves against the President. Never have so many movie stars, oligarchs, and media mouthpieces threatened the President of the United States with bodily harm (veiled, or overtly) without repercussions. Soon the FISA memorandum will be made public. The makings of a true civil war are formulating before our very eyes. What this means is that we have a government that is divided, but the division is not an even split. Most of the politicos (we don’t have representation in the United States Congress anymore) want to see complete control over the people with individual rights removed. They want this. For proof? It was a Republican (Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-VA) who introduced H.R. 4760, with a “harmless and patriotic” title for the public to gobble down with a smile: The Securing America’s Future Act of 2018. Wonder how much they paid “Smilin’ Bob” to introduce that one?A harmless, patriotic act in our national interests, yes? No. Securing the citizenry under the “lock and key” of a National ID Card with biometric data and complete storage of individual records back to the time of birth. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution: it will be gone with “the stroke of a pen…. the law of the land,” to paraphrase Paul Begala. Left out are the words “kind of neat” he finished the statement with. That is because it is not neat, nor will the whole situation end neatly. The President vowed to drain the swamp, and now he (and any who support his policies) will face an attack by the Deep State: The Military Industrial Complex (MIC), the Oligarchy (yes, of the ilk of the Zuckerberg’s, Soros’s, Gates, and Buffets), the Obama holdovers (too numerous to count) currently in the administration, and Republican 5th columnists masquerading as conservatives but in reality, Marxist-Totalitarians. This “Deep State Army” are joining forces to topple the current administration, return the “paradigm shift” to the left at full speed, and bring the U.S. down…toward a global governance. Joining hands with them are the Democratic party entire, and all the liberal Democrat citizen-puppets, along with an army of clueless idiots who believe they are obliged to abandon conservative values for the sake of “unifying” with the liberals. This bill H.R. 4760 is a “backlash” of the mandatory clause of the Affordable Health Care Law being overturned: the law is now “toothless,” as it is no longer mandatory to have it. This poses a problem for these globalists. Now, here we go on the bandwagon again in another direction…another parade…this time to “Secure America’s Future,” by making sure [that means through force…all authority is enforced and maintained with the barrel of a firearm] everyone…citizen, illegal alien, or “guest” worker/visitor…has a National ID card with biometric data. The State cannot be beaten: Not unless the people either remove the politicians and reform the policies, or (if that isn’t possible) they must revolt. The United States (with this bill 4760) intends to hire more than 25,000 additional border patrol agents. Do you know why? It is to keep the taxpayer-serfs in, not to keep the illegals out. The State has unlimited resources, and the bureaucracy and infrastructure to deploy those resources. The State has federalized the National Guard units, the local and state law enforcement, and militarized all of them with weapons, equipment, APC’s (armored personnel carriers), and millions of rounds of ammunition. The State has multiplied itself into so many federal agencies that it is impossible to keep track of all of them. The State has armed all federal employees to the teeth, even those originally comical “Keystone Cop” organizations, such as the Social Security Administration, the Motor Vehicle Administration, and the Post Office. Pull up the article Police State? National ID Card Tucked in Immigration Bill to see the details. There is a precept that has not been mentioned. There is something the Deep State wishes, and yet is terrified of all the same. They desire a war with North Korea. It would be a simple matter afterward to round up and control all the survivors, especially as such a thing could be “timed” to appear spontaneous, yet when the Deep State had prepared with ample warning…as they will precipitate it. The terrifying part to them? If it is an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) attack, it will render the surveillance grid inoperable for at least a time. They do not wish to lose the surveillance net they have been “crafting” all these years with the help of Facebook, Verizon, Google, and the other companies of the MIC. The chipmunk-toothed, squinty-eyed sixty-pluses with soft hands and full bellies…the CEO’s and oligarchs who have sequestered armies of military and security personnel to protect them…they will be in bunkers when it begins, sipping on a 21-year-old Portwood Balvenie. Former Congressman Ron Paul has launched a campaign against this new House bill. Here is an excerpt from the referenced article:
Quote :
“The biometric identification information on the cards, Paul warns, which could include fingerprints, retinal scans, or scans of veins on the back of hands, could easily be used as a tracking device. Paul noted that the law would require all employers to purchase an ID scanner to verify the cards, and he fears that it would be only a matter of time that ID scans would be required for routine purchases. The national ID card, the former congressman recalls, was a key portion of the failed “comprehensive immigration reform” bills both parties tried to pass during the Obama administration. “Now, using the momentum behind Trump’s tough talk on immigration and border security, I’m afraid the statists believe the best way to finally enact their National ID scheme is by promoting their bill on Capitol Hill as a ‘DACA fix’ while they sell it to the GOP base as a border ‘security’ measure,” he writes.”
[size] As you can see, this is serious. The Deep State is playing for keeps. The big question remains: “How will the President combat and defeat these forces arrayed against him, if his stance is for real, and he’s not just playing a part as a “prop” in the unfolding battle?” We must take that viewpoint as a possibility as well: that he may just be “making it look good…kicking and fighting,” although he’s really on their side. Hopefully he’s on our side. We haven’t had anyone on “our” side…the side of “We the People,” in a long time. One thing is for sure: the fight is just getting started, and it’s going to be a long one without a clear-cut victory for quite some time, if we do win.[/size]

Subject: Trump Video + Release of Memo Highlighted Fri Feb 02, 2018 12:45 pm
Update: The just released FISA memo accuses senior officials at the DOJ of inappropriately using biased opposition research into then-candidate Trump to obtain surveillance warrants on transition team members as part of the federal investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia. According to the document, information from the the so-called Steele dossier was "essential" to the acquisition of surveillance warrants on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. It claims that then-deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe told the committee in December that without the information from the Steele dossier, no surveillance warrant for Page would have been sought. The memo alleges that the political origins of the dossier — paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — were not disclosed to the clandestine court that signed off on the warrant request. The document claims that although the FBI had "clear evidence" that the author of the dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele, was biased against Trump, it did not convey that to the surveillance court when making its warrant applications. Steele told then-associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr that he was "desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president," the memo says. House conservatives have touted the memo's revelations as “worse than Watergate” and hinted that it could prove the undoing of the federal investigation into Trump’s campaign. Meanwhile, Democrats on the panel say that it is a cherry-picked set of inaccurate accusations designed to kneecap special counsel Robert Mueller. They have drafted their own counter-memo to rebut the Republican-drafted document, but the majority voted against immediately making that document public earlier this week. The memo is based on a slate of highly-classified materials provided to the committee by the Justice Department itself, in a closed-door deal brokered by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). Naturally, the DOJ has claimed that the release of the memo is an abrogation of the terms of that deal, an assertion spokesmen for both Ryan and Nunes have rejected. Meanwhile, the underlying evidence remains classified, a state of affairs that Democrats and some national security analysts say makes it impossible to independently verify the memo’s conclusions. As The Hill reported earlier, ahead of the document's release, Paul Ryan privately urged House Republicans not to overplay the document — and not to tie it to the Mueller investigation. Here are select excerpts from the FISA memo (full pdf below)
Quote :
On October 21, 2016, DOJ and FBI sought and received a FISA probable cause order (not under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC. Page is a U.S. citizen who served as a volunteer advisor to the Trump presidential campaign. Consistent with requirements under FISA, the application had to be first certified by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI. It then required the approval of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General (DAG), or the Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division. The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant targeting Carter Page and three FISA renewals from the FISC. As required by statute (50 U.S.C. §1805(d)(1)), a FISA order on an American citizen must be renewed by the FISC every 90 days and each renewal requires a separate finding of probable cause. Then-Director James Comey signed three FISA applications in question on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one. Then-DAG Sally Yates, then-Acting DAG Dana Boente, and DAG Rod Rosenstein each signed one or more FISA applications on behalf of DOJ. Our findings indicate that, as described below, material and relevant information was omitted. The "dossier" compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia.
What follows is what some have dubbed the "damning section", as there was no reason not to disclosed the relationship between Clinton and Steele, unless the authors were worried about exposing a clear political link:
Quote :
a) Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele's efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials. b) The initial FISA application notes Steele was working for a named U.S. person, but does not name Fusion GPS and principal Glenn Simpson, who was paid by a U.S. law firm (Perkins Coie) representing the DNC (even though it was known by DOJ at the time that political actors were involved with the Steele dossier). The application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of—and paid by—the DNC and Clinton campaign, or that the FBI had separately authorized payment to Steele for the same information.
The section above also makes a good case for releasing the underlying FISA application, as either the Clinton connection was disclosed or it wasn't - not a fact either party can distort. In a curious twist, in order to corroborate the dossier, the memo reveals that the FBI "extensively" cited a news article -- that was based entirely on the dossier. In effect, using the dossier to corroborate the dossier.
Quote :
The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016, Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page's July 2016 trip to Moscow. This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News. The Page FISA application incorrectly assesses that Steele did not directly provide information to Yahoo News. Steele has admitted in British court filings that he met with Yahoo News—and several other outlets—in September 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS. Perkins Coie was aware of Steele's initial media contacts because they hosted at least one meeting in Washington D.C. in 2016 with Steele and Fusion GPS where this matter was discussed.
The memo continues revealing more information about Steele and his clear political bias:
Quote :
Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBI source for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations—an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI in an October 30, 2016, Mother Jones article by David Corn. Steele's numerous encounters with the media violated the cardinal rule of source handling—maintaining confidentiality—and demonstrated that Steele had become a less than reliable source for the FBI. 3) Before and after Steele was terminated as a source, he maintained contact with DOJ via then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, a senior DOJ official who worked closely with Deputy Attorneys General Yates and later Rosenstein. Shortly after the election, the FBI began interviewing Ohr, documenting his communications with Steele. For example, in September 2016, Steele admitted to Ohr his feelings against then-candidate Trump when Steele said he "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president." This clear evidence of Steele's bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files—but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications. During this same time period, Ohr's wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife's opposition research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs' relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the FISC. * * * After Steele was terminated, a source validation report conducted by an independent unit within FBI assessed Steele's reporting as only minimally corroborated. Yet, in early January 2017, Director Comey briefed President-elect Trump on a summary of the Steele dossier, even though it was - according to his June 2017 testimony - "salacious and unverified." While the FISA application relied on Steele's past record of credible reporting on other unrelated matters, it ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations. Furthermore, Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information. The Page FISA application also mentions information regarding fellow Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, but there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos. The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok. Strzok was reassigned by the Special Counsel's Office to FBI Human Resources for improper text messages with his mistress, FBI Attorney Lisa Page (no known relation to Carter Page), where they both demonstrated a clear bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton, whom Strzok had also investigated. The Strzok/Lisa Page texts also reflect extensive discussions about the investigation, orchestrating leaks to the media, and include a meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an "insurance" policy against President Trump's election.
#14The bottom line: as noted earlier, if found that there was clear undisclosed bias in the launch of surveillance of Trump's team, then Mueller's probe - whose findings would be the result of a flawed FISA warrant - would be null and void, leave space for Trump to fire the special prosecutor or Rod Rosenstein. Incidentally, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump suggested the document shows political bias at the FBI that tainted the probe into whether his campaign cooperated with Russia’s election meddling. “I think it’s a disgrace,” Trump said of the alleged bias. "A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves." The decision cleared the way for the House Intelligence Committee to release the memo, which it did shortly after noon. “It was declassified and let’s see what happens,” Trump said. White House made no redactions to the document.
https://youtu.be/FK_0_SvAdZc
 Full memo at the bottom: * * * Earlier: Just before noon on Friday, the "FISA" memo compiled by House Intelligence Committee staff, led by chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), from classified documents provided by the Department of Justice, was officially declassified by Trump's lawyer Donald Gahn - over the objections of the DOJ and the FBI - as explained in the letter below. [url=https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/mcgahan memo.jpg][/url] According to the Washington Examiner's Byron York who had access to an early released version, a key point in the memo is that the "salacious and unverified" Steele dossier formed the essential part of the initial and all three renewal applications against Carter Page, in line with what as previously leaked. As York also explicitly highlights, "The FBI's Andrew McCabe confirmed to the committee that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information." This, as Fox News confirms, means that absent the dossier, at least one of the surveillance warrants in the case would not have been obtained, and - by implication - the entire Mueller probe is thus on shaky legal ground. Back to the memo, which as York adds, "the political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications."

As Dow Jones confirms, DOJ officials knew Steele was being paid by democrats, and that officials at the DOJ and FBI signed one warrant, and three renewals against Carter Page. York also notes that DOJ official Bruce Ohr was relayed information about Christopher Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president. All else equal, sounds like a clear case of bias, and when extended, it would imply that the entire Mueller probe is based on grounds that could be overturned in court. * * * To recap, here are the key points disclosed in the memo, as summarized by the Washington Exmainer which has an early unclassified version of the memo:
The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the intial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.
As a reminder, the FBI and Justice Department mounted a months-long effort to keep the information outlined in the memo out of the House Intelligence Committee's hands. Only the threat of contempt charges and other forms of pressure forced the FBI and Justice to give up the material.
Quote :
Once Intelligence Committee leaders and staff compiled some of that information into the memo, the FBI and Justice Department, supported by Capitol Hill Democrats, mounted a ferocious campaign of opposition, saying release of the memo would endanger national security and the rule of law. But Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes never wavered in his determination to make the information available to the public. President Trump agreed, and, as required by House rules, gave his approval for release.
Finally, the memo released today does not represent the sum total of what House investigators have learned in their review of the FBI and Justice Department Trump-Russia investigation. That means the fight over the memo could be replayed in the future when the Intelligence Committee decides to release more information. Moments after the announcement that the memo was declassified, Trump spoke to reporters and was asked if the memo makes it more likely that he will fire Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, to which Trump responded.

With a full statement as follows: STATEMENT BY SASC CHAIRMAN JOHN McCAIN ON PARTISAN ATTACKS ON THE FBI & DOJ Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on partisan attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice:
Quote :
“In 2016, the Russian government engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in an American election and undermine our democracy. Russia employed the same tactics it has used to influence elections around the world, from France and Germany to Ukraine, Montenegro, and beyond. Putin’s regime launched cyberattacks and spread disinformation with the goal of sowing chaos and weakening faith in our institutions. And while we have no evidence that these efforts affected the outcome of our election, I fear they succeeded in fueling political discord and dividing us from one another. The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s. The American people deserve to know all of the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”
One wonders if he even read the memo?

Subject: Unfinished Business - Ted Butler Fri Feb 02, 2018 1:01 pm
February 02, 2018 by Ted Butler, SilverSeek: The big news this week was the filing of charges and settlements for price manipulation and “spoofing” brought by the CFTC, in conjunction with the DOJ and FBI, against three banks and a half dozen individual traders; mostly involving illegal trading activities in COMEX gold and silver futures. The announcement set off a debate about whether the filing proved the allegations that gold and silver prices were manipulated as many, certainly including me, have maintained. http://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/pr7682-18 Put simply, the filings do not prove that silver and gold have been manipulated lower in price over the years. But then again, neither do the filings show that prices have not been manipulated in the manner I contend. What the charges do prove is that spoofing is a corrupt and illegal practice that should not exist in any form and on that basis. My immediate reaction is what the heck took the CFTC this long to act? Regular readers know I have railed against spoofing for many years as being completely devoid of any redeeming or legitimate features while the CFTC stood by. The practice of placing phony orders to influence price should have been outlawed from day one. That said, I suppose it is good that the agency finally took action, under the kindest interpretation of the cliché of it’s better late than never. Certainly, those banks and traders accused of the practice will likely not do so in the future. And seeing the CFTC actually use the word manipulation in connection with COMEX gold and silver can’t be considered bad. Beyond that, unfortunately, the charges and settlements are troubling in that they only scratch the surface of whether silver and gold prices are manipulated. Truth be told, if the regulators were out to clean up what ails silver and gold pricing, then they didn’t come close with these filings. If the CFTC was intending that this week’s announcements showed that it was truly cracking down on bad actors in silver and gold, then it failed. I would remind you that many of the violations announced took place while the CFTC was in the midst of its infamous five year silver “investigation”. Think I’m being too hard on the CFTC? Then try explaining how the agency has managed to ignore the activities of the most prominent gold and silver market crook of all – JPMorgan. It’s not as if the agency hasn’t been given ample evidence of JPMorgan’s dominant role in manipulating prices ever since the bank took over Bear Stearns in 2008. I know because I’ve done nothing but make the case against JPMorgan for nearly all that time. And I must say, I am disappointed in the actions, or lack thereof, of the Enforcement Director, James McDonald. Privately, I’m still assured that McDonald is a straight arrow, although lately the question has come up whether what JPMorgan is doing is really illegal if higher ups in the government pecking order have ordered McDonald to keep off JPM’s case. To that I say balderdash – in matters silver and gold, JPMorgan is a stone cold crook and no order from above supersedes McDonald’s oath to uphold the Constitution and the law of the land. It’s disturbing that the agency seems to be going after the little fish, while the biggest market crook of them all, JPMorgan, gets a pass. It’s not as if I haven’t gone out of my way to present the case against JPMorgan to McDonald, starting on his first day on the job last April 10. I spelled out in great detail how JPMorgan had never taken a loss on any short position it ever added in COMEX silver in nearly 10 years; a trading record that would be impossible if JPMorgan wasn’t rigging prices. And get this – since I wrote to McDonald last year, JPMorgan has added and bought back silver shorts on four separate occasions for more than 10,000 net contracts on each occasions, making close to $500 million in total trading profits. As a reminder, I base all my calculations on the data published by the agency. http://silverseek.com/commentary/another-opportunity-16489 In that public letter last year, I even spelled out the rationale for why JPMorgan was manipulating silver (and gold) prices, namely, to allow this crooked bank in acquiring as much physical metal as it could get at the lowest prices it could rig. This is the means, motive, opportunity and intent behind JPMorgan’s manipulation – to pick up as much cheap metal as it possibly could. In the last 10 months, in addition to racking up massive profits in paper COMEX trading, JPMorgan has added another 100 million oz of silver to a hoard now measuring nearly 700 million oz. And as I have written recently, JPMorgan has been doing the exact same thing in gold, namely, making enormous paper profits by being the largest short in COMEX gold, while picking up boatloads of physical gold on the cheap – at least 20 million oz over the past 5 years.

Subject: DANGER AHEAD FOR U.S. GOVT: Unable To Service Debt As Interest Rates Surge Fri Feb 02, 2018 1:26 pm
DANGER AHEAD FOR U.S. GOVT: Unable To Service Debt As Interest Rates Surge BY IWB · FEBRUARY 1, 2018
BY SRSROCCO The U.S. Government is in serious trouble when interest rates rise. As interest rates rise, so will the amount of money the U.S. Government will have to pay out to service its rapidly rising debt. Unfortunately, interest rates don’t have to increase all that much for the government’s interest expense to double. According to the TreasuryDirect.gov website, which came back online after being down for nearly a month, reported that the average interest rate paid on U.S. Treasury Securities increased from 2.2% in November 2016 to 2.3% in December 2017. While this does not seem like a significant change, every increase of 0.1% in the average interest rate, the U.S. Government has to pay an additional $20.5 billion in interest expense (based on the $20.5 trillion in total U.S. debt). Already, the U.S. Government is off to a BANG as it’s interest expense paid for the first three months of the year increased to $147 billion compared to $139 billion in the same period last year:
This chart was taken directly from the TreasuryDirect.gov site, with my added annotations. As we can see, the U.S. Government paid $126.5 billion to service their debt Oct-Dec 2015. We must remember, the U.S. Government Fiscal period starts in October. So, in just two years, the interest expense the U.S. Government paid for Oct-Dec increased more than $20 billion. Now, what is interesting is that the average interest rate in Dec 2015 was 2.33%, but in Dec 2017 it was only 2.31%. Thus, it was actually lower, even though the interest expense increased by $20 billion. The reason for the $20 billion increase in the interest expense during Oct-Dec 2017 versus Oct-Dec 2015 was due to a more than $2 trillion increase in U.S. debt over that two-year period. So, the U.S. Government will have a serious problem as interest rates really start to rise… and that doesn’t even include the continued increase in total U.S. debt. This next chart shows the increase in U.S. debt, while the average interest rate fell from an average 6.6% in 2000 to a low of 2.2% in 2016:
The falling average interest rates occurred due to the Federal Reserve policy to stimulate the economy as well as to keep the U.S. Government interest expense from skyrocketing.
Now, there is a difference between the U.S. Federal Government net interest expense of $266 billion on the $14.7 billion in public debt in 2017 versus the total $458 billion interest expense on total debt of $20.3 trillion, which includes “intragovernmental holdings.” The Federal Government is only stating the interest it’s paying on the public debt in its budget. However, Intragovernmental debt is debt that one part of the government owes to another part. In almost all cases, it is debt held in government trust funds, such as the Social Security trust funds. So, if we want to know the total interest expense paid via total U.S. Treasury Securities, we have to also include the intragovernmental holdings, or that amount that the U.S. Government has borrowed from other governmental agencies.
For example, before the government raised the debt ceiling on Sept 7th, the public debt was $14,410 billion, and the intragovernmental holdings were $5,434 billion for a total of $19.844 billion:
However, the intragovernmental holdings increased the most in percentage terms by rising 4.7% ($256 billion) to $5,690 billion while total public debt only increased 3.2% ($649 billion) to $14,802 billion… for a grand total of $20,493 billion. The U.S. government still has to pay interest on their intragovernmental holdings… and a lot of that interest is going to pay for Social Security. According to Social Security Report July 2017, of the $836 billion in benefits paid in 2017, an additional $88 billion came from earned interest. Thus, 10% of Social Security payouts last year came from a large percentage of interest earned on the Social Security portion of the intragovernmental holdings. If we consider total U.S. Government interest expense, including intragovernmental holdings, it hit a record high of $458 billion in 2017:
Unfortunately, when interest rates move back toward a more normal rate of 5%, the U.S. Government will have to fork out $1 trillion-plus a year, just to service its total debt. Even though the Federal Reserve might try to lower interest rates during the next market crash, the market will likely react in the opposite direction as real rates start to rise. The Central Banks have purchased $15 trillion in assets since the 2008 market meltdown. Furthermore, their zero-interest rate policy has driven speculative growth with the addition of $70 trillion in debt in the same time period. While the Central Bank insane easy monetary policy may continue for a few more years, the tremendous amount of LEVERAGE in the system is getting out out hand.
