Who’s in Putin’s Pocket — Clinton or Trump? (Clinton Uranium RussiaGate scandal)

The New American ^ | August 3, 2016 | William F. Jasper

"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."

***********************************************

RUSSIAGATE

Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission & $500,000 speaking fee (US uranium to Russia)

qura.com ^ | July 27, 2016 | Sierra Spaulding

Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?

You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.

Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."

WikiLeaks Show How Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta Became ‘Business Partners with Vladimir Putin’

“...WikiLeaks emails provide proof that the “Clintons have a long and lucrative history of financial deals with the Russians, particularly with the Russian government.”

Schweizer explained the “deep ties” the Clintons have to Russia, specifically how in 2010 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale and transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium output to the Russian government ...”

John Podesta’s Payoff for Helping Hillary Give American Military Technology to Russia’s Putin

Written by Bob Adelmann
Monday, 17 October, 2016

As part of just-inaugurated President Obama’s new foreign policy to improve relations between the United States and Russia, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009. Meeting in her hotel’s Salon Panorama in Geneva, she presented him with a small gift box containing a bright red button symbolizing the Obama administration’s desire to “reset” the relationship between the two governments.

Thus began an effort to transfer American technology to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own “Silicon Valley,” called Skolkovo. In a report released in late July by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) entitled From Russia With Money, authors Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweitzer reviewed the long sordid history of the technology transfer from companies such as Google, Intel, and Cisco of hi-tech technology with useful military applications.

The report quoted warnings from the FBI and the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth that the transfer would work against American interests. Warned the U.S. Army:

[The “reset” would serve as] a vehicle for world-wide technology transfers to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.

It was clearly a “quid pro quo” arrangement: 17 of the 28 companies involved in the technology transfer gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation or to Bill Clinton for giving some speeches.

When those authors, both of whom are affiliated with Breitbart News, summed up their conclusions, one question remained: “The GAI investigative report says it’s unclear how much, if any, money [John] Podesta made.” Podesta, having served the Clintons for years, first as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and then as counselor to President Obama and finally as Hillary’s campaign chairman, deserved a payoff.

But it wasn’t clear until the latest batch of e-mails provided by WikiLeaks went public last week that Americans now know. For his efforts Podesta received thousands of shares of common and preferred stock in one of the companies involved in the transfer. The fact came to light when WikiLeaks published e-mails Podesta sent to the company ordering it to transfer his shares to a shell corporation he had created a month earlier.

The e-mails included a letter Podesta wrote to the corporate secretary of that company instructing him to retitle 33,693 shares of preferred stock to Leonidio Holdings, LLC, a corporation that Podesta (or one of his staff) created using a Corporation Service Company to hide the shares from public view.

The company that gave Podesta the stock shares, Joule Unlimited, claims to be a producer of “alternative” energy technology that will eventually be able to produce energy that will be competitive with oil priced at $50 a barrel. It was a recipient of millions of Putin’s rubles as one of the gang of companies working to transfer American technology to Russia, one of America’s enemies.

As Schweizer told the New York Post in an interview in July:

The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies get special access to the Russian market and workforce….

All I ask is that people look at the money. Who made the deals, who benefited from the deals?

Thanks to WikiLeaks the “people” now know the name of at least one of those who participated in the deals and how he benefited from them: John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager.

Who are the 17 intelligence agencies that reportedly agreed that the Russians hacked the DNC, tried or aided Trump’s campaign (how?), and DID EACH TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE FINDING? I heard that at least three of them did not totally agree and had reservations about some of the conclusions.

I’ve listed some of the 17 and put question marks around possible others. Please add or eliminate (tell us why) as you can.

1. FBI - Comey
2. CIA - Clapper
3. NSA - Rogers?
4. Treasury
5. Dept. of Justice
6. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (Brennan)
7. Dept. of Homeland Security (Jeh Johnson, Dept. of Homeland Insecurity if you ask me)
8. State Dept. Intell - BOSS or another unit
9. OPM? Office of Personnel Management (who got hacked to the tune of 22 M names)
10. FEC ? (Fed. Election Commission)
11. Office of Naval Intelligence ? (ONI) (In the 30’s they were in “the game” long before the Army was)
12. Air Force ? (Office of Special Investigations) if it is still called that
13. ASA ? - the old Army Security Agency (think they merged into another department or agency or the Army’s present equivalent (re electronic warfare)
14. Somebody listed the Coast Guard - ? I can’t see them involved in this kind of affair, but ..
15.
16.
17.
Congressional Police? Sort of doubt it but ...

If you go to the BBC referenced article as the source:

“Claims about a Russian blackmail tape were made in one of a series of reports written by a former British intelligence agent, understood to be Christopher Steele.”

It is the same old shit that has been discredited.

Within the last few days, Obama signed an executive order for the NSA to release all phone calls and data from Trump and his team.

This article is making what was basically a basket of allegations much of which was immediately shown false, and the rest of which is unbelievable and unverifiable, seem to be some sort of credible Russian influence on Trump.

I know that CNN and other LSM are doing all they can to advance this narrative. I also don’t put anything past the Deep State - falsifying data and planting stuff to frame people is within their playbook.

Impeachment is on their mind, if riots don’t work, or maybe they think they can hurry up and frame him and arrest him to prevent him from being President. These people are desperate.

Here is the “source” of this crap:

“Trump ‘compromising’ claims: How and why did we get here?”

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38589427

It is linked in the first of the article as “BBC”.

It is utter rubbish. It quotes Nobody in the intelligence community and is only hearsay by UK reporters. The usual lying MSM crap.

>Why in hell would the Russians prefer a strong-on-defense team like Trump-Pence over a very weak HR Clinton administration? It was Obama-Hillary who gave away the store to Putin on all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal. This while they systematically took apart OUR military. Putin’s aim is to basically ring back the Soviet Union. The last thing he needs or wants now is a strong American military.

Because Hillary promised war with Russia if she won.
