Hillary's State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists

The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government's ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.

What Clinton didn’t mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the UN headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate. “The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.”

Does Boko Haram qualify for the Obama terrorist exemption to enter the US?

Obama admin unilaterally changes law to allow immigrants with 'limited' terror contact into US
The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

WE KNOW THE REASONS WHY OBAMA AND THE DUMMYCRATS ARE FIGHTING TO PASS "IMMIGRATION REFORM."

Giving terrorists free access to the United States is the actual purpose of “Immigration Reform”. Muslims, or converts to Islam, are currently being funneled into the United States at the Southern border. The problem is that they cannot by this means alone, get the volume of terrorists they desire in using the smuggling method.

The Mexican border has become the global gathering place for those planning mayhem in the US. No telling how many Boko Haram types are among those crossing the border into the US. They easily blend in w/ latinos and other swarthy-looking males.

The voluminous "reform" bill forces taxpayers to pay for these activities---the Senate bill contains several slush funds for these groups----$100,000,000 tax dollars--renewable every budget year.

Maybe that is because the drunk, hillary, got confused after hitting her head. She thought it was a music group or she thought she was still fighting a bimbo eruption in some weird way.

Even that $6 billion is probably chump change compared to what was made playing the oil futures market when it was Bill Clinton as president that decided when to release oil for the Oil for Food program.

The Clintons, through Marc Rich, used the OFF Program was a repeat of Hillary’s cattle futures scam with bill Clinton controlling the price of the world oil market.

Couldn’t loose.

I love you too! Until women grow up and drop the crap, they should not be let anywhere near the voting booth. I will happily give up my right to vote if we can exclude pro-choice nuts, harpies, radical lesbian feminists and low information females from “making a difference.”

The Clintons are experts at gaming the system for themselves.

CLINTON POLITICS AND PROFITEERING: Boeing CEO questioned on donations to Clinton foundation Boeing's CEO faced pointed questions about its charitable donation to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation in the same year that then-Secy of State Hillary Clinton advocated on its behalf on an official tax-financed trip to Russia.

(POSTER'S NOTE: Some might say it was common to advocate for US business---but then very few previous advocates had a presidential campaign on the burner----nor did they have three tax-exempt foundations panhandling donations from corporations.)

David Almasi, shareholder and representative of the National Center for Public Policy Research think tank, asked Boeing the question, and gave an indication of the kinds of challenges that companies could face as Hillary weighs a run for president. Dozens of major corporations have made charitable donations to the Clinton Foundation in recent years.

Almasi called the Boeing donation a "clear conflict of interest" that seemed "reckless and unnecessary." (According to Almasi's notes, CEO McNearney called an implication that the donation might have been legally questionable "beyond the pale.")

Boeing contributed $900,000 to the Clinton family foundation (there are three) just months after Clinton had traveled to Russia, where she made what she called a "shameless pitch" for a state-owned Russian company to buy Boeing passenger jets. Boeing won the $3.7 billion Russian contract in June 2010. (Some facts excerpted from wahingtonpost.com report.)

==============================================

Mmmmmm....Hillary's incessant globe-trotting raises new questions about her motives....since it is well-known her global travels contributed nothing to US foreign policy.

Hefty corporate donations to the Clintons' tax-exempt foundations are nice...... but exchanging valuable US ntl security info for campaign contributions......that could really add up.

And the airheaded State Dept sorority sister could not name EVEN ONE of Hillary's accomplishments at State?

===========================================

And just who cleaned out the State Dept's bank accounts? News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

Now we know how Hillary always$ get$ tho$e wonderful poll number$----why $he's always at the top of the pre $idential pack (cackle).

I wonder how much the Clintons made for “Operation Merlin”, which was nothing more than passing out nuclear secrets to the highest bidder and using the CIA sting as a cover story.

More than likely Valery Plame was front and center with Operation Merlin, which is why they claimed she was part of an “undercover CIA” operation.

Muslim money-laundering modalities finance global jihad.

freedomoutpost.com (EXCERPT)---the American Freedom Law Center, has been engaged in a long and drawn out lawsuit againstHamas front group, CAIR. Hamas-CAIR has been running a global criminal money laundering operation out of Washington, DC. "The money laundering scheme was discovered in the course of legal discovery in unrelated federal litigation arising out of allegations by five of CAIR's former clients that CAIR defrauded them by failing to provide the legal services they had been promised."

THE MODUS OPERANDI To avoid reporting these millions of dollars from the dubious Islamist sources and to avoid registering as an agent for a foreign sovereign as required by federal law, CAIR created a separate company called CAIR-Foundation, Inc---an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

CAIR itself quit filing any federal tax returns from 2008-2010 and allowed the IRS to withdraw its status as a 501(c)(4), converting itself to a regular for-profit corporation. CAIR also stopped all of its operations and became simply a holding company, transferring, at least on the books, all of its employees and equipment to CAIR Foundation. --snip--

===================================================

BACKSTORY Billy Boy Clinton was grinning like a simpering fool at the annual meeting of the tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative Foundation"....even Boobomba was there hugging Billy like they were old pals.....all in the wake of the bombshell news that:

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative Foundation uses shady financing;

<><> the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative had employed an active Muzzie terrorist named Gehad el-Haddad (The stupid Clintons did not know Gehad was Farsi for "jihad")

Gehad also knows how the Muslim Brotherhood launders money to finance terrorism, using "tax-exempt foundations."

The Clintons have been connected to the muslim brotherhood, Dixie Mafia, and worldwide organized crime long before the Jug Eared Clown was anywhere near politics, state or national.

That’s why I don’t have a doubt Zippo is nothing more than the Clintons toady.

The Clintons left a “shadow” government in place to create havoc for Bush and usher in Hillary’s return as president.

Zippo is ultimately responsible for what has been going on, can’t be done without the president saying “go for it”, but it’s Hillary that has been directing it trying to get herself back into the WH as president.

Hilary was very confused. She thought they were talking about the 1960’s band Procol Harum and wanted to hear them play for the DNC at the 2012 convention. Ya we have the answer. Bill used to enjoy inhaling to their music.
