How Many American Intelligence Agents And Assets Are DEAD Because Of Hillary Clinton’s Incompetence And Narcissistic Paranoia?

August 9, 2016

Hillary Clinton illegally purged some 33,000 emails.  She made an awkward, glibly unaware-sounding joke about it (“You mean, wipe them with a cloth?”); but she knew exactly what she was doing when it came to destroying physical evidence.

The only problem is that by destroying the physical evidence of her crimes, the only people who can’t see the evidence against her is the American people.  The DNC leaks – revealing vile bigotry and misogyny resulting in not only the DNC chair stepping down but most of the DNC staff being fired – and on top of that the Hillary campaign leaks prove beyond a shadow of any reasonable doubt that yes, our worst enemies such as the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians had easily penetrated Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized, unsecure homebrewn server systems.  There is one and ONLY One common element between all these hacks: Hillary Clinton.

During World Wars One and Two, there was a proverbial adage that was beyond merely true that “Loose lips sink ships” as German intelligence voraciously consumed any intelligence that would enable them to identify Allied shipping routes and times so they could sink ships and strangle Great Britain.  Which they almost succeeded in doing.

We will never know how many people who sided with us are now DEAD because Hillary Clinton is an incompetent fool by her own admission.  Hillary’s defense was that she was too incompetent to realize that she was breaking the law.

In World Wars One and Two, we would have locked Hillary Clinton up for YEARS or we would have EXECUTED her; or else we would have lost both wars.  There is no way you can allow this kind of criminal and treasonous stupidity to go unpunished.

Which is why Obama is losing so badly now in our war on terror and the rising threat of Russia, China, Iran and other enemies who sense our weakness and our shockingly incompetent leadership.

A valuable Iranian intelligence asset prominently mentioned in Hillary Clinton’s incredibly foolish and depraved and unsecured secret server system was just executed:

Short-Circuit Damage to US Security: Hillary’s Lies and Amiri’s Execution
Sensational lying is nothing new for the former first lady
By Austin Bay • 08/08/16 4:00pm

On Sunday, August 7, Iran’s ayatollah regime announced the execution of nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri. According to Tehran’s robed dictators, Amiri was a traitor and an American spy, so they hung him by the neck until dead.

Amiri’s story is murky and confusing, but historically, charges of defection, spying and treason are marked by murkiness and confusion. Unless you’re a big satellite in orbit or a large antennae aimed at Siberia, spying is a highly clandestine activity relying on deception, dishonesty, deniability and keeping secrets secret. Why keep secrets secret? Well, loose lips sink ships, the famous World War II poster warned.

Loose lips—the failure to maintain secrets or classified information—may also compromise human spies, which leads to their capture and, possibly, execution.

Here’s a sketch of Amiri’s murky trek. In 2009, while on pilgrimage to Mecca, Amiri disappeared. In 2010 he reappeared on Youtube, indicating he was in the U.S. Then he appeared in person, in Washington, D.C., walking into the Pakistani Embassy’s Iranian-interests office. He said he’d been kidnapped by Saudi and American intelligence agents. They tortured him. Then he came to America, and they offered him money to reveal Iranian nuclear secrets. But he didn’t. Now he wanted to go home, to Iran.

This summary from U.S. News & World Report has additional details and speculates that the Iranian government threatened his family. Amiri did return to Iran to be welcomed as a hero. Then, in May 2011, the regime arrested him and accused him of treason. Amiri, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary government, had spied for The Great Satan (the U.S.).

Amiri’s execution intersects with the 2016 U.S. political elections. As the linked article notes, two emails transmitted in 2010 through Hillary Clinton’s off-the-books and unauthorized server appear to refer to Amiri. Clinton senior adviser Jake Sullivan was involved in both emails: one he forwarded on July 5, 2010 (10 days before Amiri returned to Iran) and another (one he sent) dated July 12. The July 5 email said, “Our friend must be given a way out.”

For many good reasons senior official-level traffic is “born classified.” Access to a SecState’s unprotected email traffic provides enemy intelligence services with clues and indications regarding U.S. foreign and defense policy. In some cases, it may provide confirmation of suspected U.S. operations or, perhaps, U.S. intelligence assets and sources. Assets include human spies.

U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton told CBS’ “Face the Nation”:

“I’m not going to comment on what he (Amiri) may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton’s private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman…That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server. And I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe.”

(Cotton also discussed the Obama Administration’s $400 million cash payment to Iran that looks a lot like a ransom for hostages deal. Here is the entire transcript.)

Reckless and careless behavior by Hillary Clinton indeed. To say otherwise is to wage War on Honesty. Did her recklessness and carelessness have deadly consequences? Possibly. The mullahs may not have needed a SecState email to convince them Amiri provided the U.S. with intelligence data. As spy games go, Amiri could have been a double agent, providing the U.S. with disinformation. His execution indicates he wasn’t. We don’t know if Iran had access to Hillary’s email. FBI Director James Comey couldn’t confirm the system had been hacked, but everyone honest suspects it was.

However, the revelations of Hillary’s high-level recklessness with classified information related to human spies and Amiri’s life short-circuited by execution will make it that much harder for U.S. intelligence agencies to recruit spies and attract defectors.

In this respect, Hillary has damaged American national security—already damaged, not theoretically.

When journalists asked Hillary Clinton about her claim in recent interviews that Comey said she told the truth about her use of an unauthorized email server and mishandling of classified information, she replied, “I may have short-circuited, and for that I will try to clarify.” Then she proceeded to claim she ” ‘never sent or received’ classified information on her private email server.”

“Short-circuited” has already become a Campaign 2016 euphemism for lied.

“She lied,” Rudy Giuliani said on ABC’s This Week.

“She didn’t short-circuit. She lied last week when she said the FBI found that she hadn’t lied. You read Comey’s report—he found she lied in about eight different places. So maybe short-circuit is her euphemism for lying.”

Newt Gingrich offered another explanation on Fox News Sunday. Speaking with host Chris Wallace (to whom Clinton claimed Comey verified her honesty), Gingrich said:

“It’s one thing to lie. It’s one thing to lie about lying and then Friday (August 5), she gave us the perfect explanation—Her brain apparently had short circuited while she was talking to you…She now has a fundamental way of saying to people, ‘It wasn’t that I lied to you, I just didn’t quite remember what it was that I was going to say.’”

Sensational lying is nothing new for Hillary Clinton. On January 8, 1996, New York Times columnist William Safire wrote:

“Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady—a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation—is a congenital liar. Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.”

Later in the column Safire added, “Therefore, ask not, ‘Why didn’t she just come clean at the beginning?’ She had good reasons to lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends.”

Never held to account. Lefty profs in academia complain about insidious White Privilege. The Media Privilege extended by mainstream media to Democrats in general, and Hillary in particular ultimately has that effect: system-damaging lack of accountability. Hillary thought she could get away with breaking the classified information laws. Now she thinks she can lie about James Comey’s truly short-circuited investigation. She wagers that by late October everyone will believe Comey exonerated her. Media Privilege functions as a type of vote fraud—voter information fraud. The arrogant recklessness it encourages also damages national security.

Comey didn’t exonerate her.

He did fail to uphold essential national security laws. Gross negligence in handling classified information is a felony. Hillary was also evading federal record keeping laws.

She waged War on Honesty.

Did Hillary’s dishonesty play a role in Shahram Amiri’s death? I doubt we will ever know with certainty—unless a senior Iranian intelligence officer defects, and that’s not too likely if she is elected president.

Once upon a time intelligence professionals used the phrase “walk back the cat” as slang for retracing the trail of evidence and assumptions until they identify the double agent, the false source or the analytic error. The cat walking unraveled the ball of string. Rewind the twisted yarn to find the flaw. CIA, NSA and FBI counter-intelligence may have already done some cat back walking in regards to Shahram Amiri. If they haven’t, in the wake of his execution, they damn well better.

It now stands as a fact that NO ONE should be willing to ally himself or herself with or serve the United States in ANY way unless and until it is evident that Hillary Clinton will NEVER be allowed to hold ANY kind of public office EVER again.

Whether it be the Americans who were let down, abandoned and let to die in Benghazi – whose family members Hillary Clinton then lied to literally over their flag-draped coffins – or whether it is this Iranian agent or God-alone-only-knows-how-many-other-victims – Hillary Clinton will kill you with her incompetence and then callously allow you to die without lifting a finger and will then lie to your family members about the tragedy.

The United States of America deserves to lose if Hillary Clinton is allowed to win.

The Bible TOLD Us Perilous Times Would Come: Obama Reaches Iran Nuclear Deal Threatening Israel With Armageddon On Eve Of Blood Moon

April 2, 2015

I wrote about the blood moons and Israel last year when Israel was embroiled in crisis during the two prophetic blood moons that we saw in 2014:

Four Blood Moons: The Beginning Of The End? Israel Invades Hamas After Over 1,200 Terrorist Rockets And Two Broken Cease Fires

But another year, another demon-possessed madman advancing Satan’s agenda: this time the “deal” to give Iran nuclear weapons.

And Obama and his Stooge of State John Kerry have reached this “deal” on the eve of yet another blood moon.

God told us that He put His signs in the heavens.

As the Word of God declares:

“The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.” (Joel 3:4)

And the heavens are proclaiming against us as witnesses that judgment is at hand and when it comes, WATCH OUT.  The blood moons are one of those signs heralding divine judgment.

As we speak, John Kerry has just announced that he and his Israel-despising president Obama have reached a deal with Iran (that of course the details of which they won’t release).  I don’t even have to ask the question whether any “inspections” of Iran’s nuclear ambitions will include their nuclear sites in North Korea and Syria.  (It is open source information that Iran has been housing a “special commodity” (weapons grade uranium) in North Korea that their fellow rabid fascist regime gave them in exchange for oil).  Because I know they won’t.  Because Obama thinks of Israel and America the same way I think of Obama: and I think Obama is a truly wicked man who deserves to burn in hell forever.

Obama is giving Iran hegemony over the Middle East on multiple fronts, as he grants them the prestige of being appeased by desperate Americans, as he grants them everything they want to possess a nuclear weapon on their timetable as soon as they have the reliable ballistic missiles they need to make nuclear weapons useful, as he helps them to generate a powerful economy that will dominate the region by protecting Iran from Republicans and even Democrats who can’t impose sanctions over a president hell-bent determined to shelter Iran.

A country that is as oil-rich as Iran very clearly doesn’t need nuclear power for energy and anybody who thinks otherwise is clearly too foolish not to be demon-possessed.  And in the same way, ballistic missiles without a nuclear program is rather like having Bluetooth without having a wireless device – because what the hell are you going to put on your ICBM that you spent so much time and money developing???

It’s as obvious as the signs in the heavens that Iran is working toward nuclear weapons; but these fascist fools aren’t looking at the sky, either, are they???

Meanwhile, even as Obama desperately seeks to appease Iran into a “peace in our time” nuclear deal that Iran will violate without a second thought the moment it is in their interest to do so, realize that Iran continues even as we give up the farm as our negotiation strategy to be the world’s largest terrorist threat and defeat America and American interests.  We are helpless in Yemen because Iran is stabbing us in the heart there even as Obama gives Iran hegemony over the Iraq America worked so hard and at such a dear cost to liberate.

Here we are: presented by another blood moon sign from God as Obama and Kerry boast about their wonderful “deal” with Iran in spite of the fact that Iran has NEVER negotiated in good faith, in spite of the fact that the Ayatollah has again and again stated that Iran won’t budge on its nuclear plan – he said so repeatedly in 2013 (and see here), in 2014, and yes just recently this year of 2015 (and see here) – in addition to saying “Death to America!” even as the nuke talks were taking place.   And we know that the top general of the powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guard that is the second most powerful entity in Iran after the Ayatollah said that “wiping Israel off the map is non-negotiable.”

Obama is perfectly happy to negotiate with Iran; it is only the Republicans, Israel, Netanyahu, and anybody who doesn’t have a demon screaming in their skulls – that Obama WON’T negotiate with.

I would rather be a roach than a Democrat, as one day you miserable fools will stand before God as flames of fiery wrath pour out of the wheels of His chariot throne and you stutter and stammer and claim that you didn’t know.  And the fire will pour out blue with heat and God’s voice will roar that He put His sign in the very heavens above you and all you could do was stare at them with your cow eyes while you followed the wicked fool you chose as your leader like the stupidest and most depraved sheep who ever lived.

Update, July 15, 2015: For what it’s worth, the terrible deal that Israel is bitterly denouncing was just agreed to by Obama yesterday.  The Senate will have sixty days to examine this deal, followed by a vote which will require a veto-proof majority to kill.  Which puts us right smack in the middle of the next blood moon cycle, which will reach its zenith on September 28, 2015.

 

Do American Christians Care About the Iranian Election Demonstrations?

June 22, 2009

We see you, Iran.

We don’t fully know what to make of what is going on, but we definitely see you.

For one thing, we don’t know for sure if the election that is being protested was fraudulent in the first place.  We know that a pre-election poll from May 11 (three weeks before the election) predicted much the same results that were officially released by Iran: a more than 2-1 victory for Ahmadinejad, with Ahmadinejad even winning in leading contender Moussavi’s home town.

And we don’t know what to make of Mir Hussein Moussavi: a man who took part in the Iranian Revolution that ushered in the rule of the ayatollahs; a man who governed with the full backing of the ayatollahs as Prime Minister; and a man who supported Iran’s nuclear program.  We don’t know that the man who may or may not have been usurped by fraud wouldn’t be better than, as bad as, or worse than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been.

What we DO know is that millions of Iranian demonstrators are out on the streets.

We also know that the Iranian regime is attempting to block the world from seeing these public demonstrations by restricting journalists and blocking demonstrator’s access to media, internet, and cellular sources.

And we know that demonstrators are being beaten and even killed.

The world IS watching, Iran.  And it DOES SEE what is happening.

You do not need to fear that no one knows or cares what is happening.  You do not need to fear that the regime can simply crack down by cracking skulls, and that no one in the rest of the world will care.

If you are living in Iran, you should know: we in America do not support the Iranian theocratic regime.  We do not support the Ayatollahs, and we want to see the “1979 revolution” defeated.

Nor do we support Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  Or Mir Hussein Moussavi, for that matter.

We do not even necessarily support the Iranian people.

What we DO support is liberty and democracy, not only for the Iranian people, but for ALL people of every race, and of every creed.

Nearly fifty years ago now, President John F. Kennedy said:

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

And while America has never perfectly defended liberty, we have always had the best of intentions in trying to defend and spread liberty to the world.

The United States fought against the evils of communism nearly alone.  The war in Vietnam was one battle in the Cold War which we ultimately won.  But in the aftermath of our defeat and withdraw from Indochina, millions were murdered or allowed to starve to death by the communists.  And in the decades that followed, the United States took the side of the oppressed Muslims against the Serbs in Bosnia.  That same United States would later overthrow Saddam Hussein, who had buried at least 400,000 of his own people in mass graves, and help bring about a stable democracy in Iraq.

In the 1980s, Russian dissidents – some of whom were literally being tortured in the gulags – expressed being “overjoyed” when an American president announced that the Soviet Union was an “evil empire” which the United States would oppose.  Great dissidents such as Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Andrei Sakharov, and Natan Sharansky realized that they were no longer alone against a monstrous system.  That they had powerful allies on the outside who were aware of the crimes going on, and who sided with them against the brutal regime.

When freedom finally came to Poland, after decades of totalitarian control by the U.S.S.R., it turned out to be Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan who had been at the heart of the revolution.

It was Natan Sharansky who called George W. Bush “the dissident president” because of his goal of bringing democracy to countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and who predicted Bush would largely fight for democracy in the world alone.

Mr. Sharansky says of his adversaries among the Western intellectual elite: “Those people who are always wrong–they were wrong about the Soviet Union, they were wrong about Oslo [the 1993 Israeli-Palestinian peace deal], they were wrong about appeasing Yasser Arafat–they are the intellectual leaders of these battles. So what can I tell you?”

In the same way, the great writer and Soviet dissident Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, who likewise experienced the gulags, likewise found himself attacked by Western “intellectual” elites after he delivered his great address entitled “A World Split Apart.”  Following that address, the same “Western intellectual elite” that Sharansky would come to deride as “wrong about everything” attacked Solzhenitsyn.

And upon what value system did these great changes occur?

As you seek to throw off the yoke of theocratic oppression by Ayatollahs, allow me to humbly advise you not to sever yourselves from religion or religious principles, however.

It was George Washington who said:

“…And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion…  Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
– George Washington, Farewell Address, Sept 17, 1796

It might amaze you, Iranian Muslims, that your greatest allies in the West could be Christians.

Christians disagree with Muslims regarding the name and even the nature and purpose of God, but we can agree with any Muslim dissident that there is in fact a transcendent God who created human beings and intended them to have personal freedom, liberty and dignity.

Read Solzhenitsyn address, Iranian people.  Understand what he meant.  His speech excoriated the West for its immorality, materialism, and godlessness.  He affirmed traditional cultures against the all-encompassing mass culture of Western secularism.  He dissected Western materialism and its fixation on comfort and pleasure, which had drained away its capacity for courage and sacrifice.  He deplored the way our laws had been divorced from morality.  And he said, “Society has turned out to have scarce defense against the abyss of human decadence, for example against the misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, such as motion pictures full of pornography, crime, and horror.”

Solzhenitsyn argued that both the communist East and the secularist West suffered from the same spiritual sickness.  And he concluded that, “No one on earth has any way left but – upward.”  Toward God and His transcendent values.  An outraged New York Times editorial summarized the very postmodernism Solzhenitsyn was damning: “He believes himself to be in possession of The Truth” (from “The Obsession of Solzhenitsyn,” New York Times, 13 June 1978).

But Alexandr Solzhenitsyn did have The Truth.  He had found it in the transcendent values of religion.  By contrast, he had NOT found it in Western secularism.

If the people of Iran truly want to throw off the shackles of brutal government control and oppression, we Christians in the West will stand with you.  Because we believe – as the American founding fathers believed – that every human being is created in the image of God, and possesses God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We don’t care who you want for your president.  And we believe you have a right to be Muslims because God gives you the ultimate freedom – along with the ultimate responsibility – to be who you want to be, and to believe what you want to believe.

We care only about a peaceful and democratic Iran, where every citizen has God-ordained liberty and the right to pursue freedom, along with the happiness and prosperity that come with genuine freedom.

And it is as a Christian that I pray for the safety and success of Iranian demonstrators.
