Russia Warns Of Donald Trump Assassination Plot, US Refuses To Hear

By Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A chilling Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today is warning that the life of current front-running US Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump may be in “grave danger” after the discovery of his personal travel itinerary with a known Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) “routing/computing number” was discovered on a laptop device seized from the Islamic terrorists responsible for the killing of 43 French nationals. [Note: quotes are added for Russian words having no exact English counterpart and are meant to be understood in their most general context]

According to this report, and as we had previously reported on in our 26 October report Terror Attack On French Bus That Killed 43 Linked To Islamic State, found in the possession of the 5 Saudi Arabian nationals detained by Lebanon’s intelligence services this past Monday after their private jet was forced to land by Federation Aerospace Forces was a “heavily encrypted” laptop computer device.

Upon Lebanon’s General Directorate of General Security (GDGS) seizing of this laptop device, this report continues, they requested assistance from the SVR in “defeating” its encryption, which was immediately granted.

Once this laptop was in the possession of the SVR, this report notes, it was flown to Moscow where computer security analysts were able to unlock its “secret information”, of which the most “startling/confusing” was a document listing the entire travel itinerary and private security plans of Donald Trump for the month of October.

Contained “within/on” this Donald Trump itinerary document too, this report further notes, was a “routing/computing number” the SVR had previously ascertained was used by the CIA in their communications with Islamic terrorist forces they are supporting and arming in Iraq and Syria operating in the Levant War Zone.

As to why these Islamic terrorists had in their possession a CIA-provided itinerary of Donald Trump this report doesn’t state due to there being no other documents on the seized laptop associated with it.

With Donald Trump’s policy positions on the Middle East mirroring Russia’s however, this report says, he has been reviled by the warmongers in the United States (of both parties) since July, 2000, when he released his book titled “The America We Deserve” which a full 14 months prior to the 11 September 2001 (9/11) attacks predicted not only this horrific crime would happen, but actually stated that Osama bin Laden would be blamed. 

In fact, this report warns, so feared is Donald Trump by his nations warmongers should he take power and uncover all of their secrets, top establishment Republican consultant Rick Wilson in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes last week actually called for his assassination, and as, in part, one can read from the transcript:

“Trump is still a very powerful force right now” because he appeals to part of the of the conservative base that Wilson said was activated by his “nativist” message. Wilson insisted that the donor class “can’t just sit back on the sidelines and say, ‘oh well, don’t worry, this will all work itself out.’”

“They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump,” Wilson said. “And that’s a fact.”

Following established SVR procedures when threats are detected against any foreign national, this report says, the Foreign Ministry was directed to convey this information to the US Secret Service who has the responsibility of protecting that nations leaders and presidential candidates.

Upon contacting the US Secret Service though, this report concludes, they informed the Foreign Ministry that Donald Trump was not under their protection and refused to take the information referring it instead to Mr. Trump’s private security company—but which they stated they didn’t know who they were or have any contact information for.

Though not contained in this SVR report, it is important to note the fact that Donald Trump has requested Secret Service protection, but has so far been denied.

Leaked: Bin Laden Not Buried at Sea, Body Moved on CIA Plane to US

From RT

The body of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not buried at sea, according to leaked emails of intelligence firm Stratfor, as revealed by WikiLeaks.

Stratfor’s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, believes the body was “bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane” and then “onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland],” an email says.

The official version is that the body of Al-Qaeda’s top man, who was killed by a US raid in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, was buried at an undisclosed location at sea in a proper Muslim ceremony.

"If body dumped at sea, which I doubt, the touch is very Adolph Eichman like. The Tribe did the same thing with the Nazi's ashes," Burton commented in another email. Eichman was one of the masterminds of the Holocaust by Nazi Germany. He was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina and, tried in Israel, found guilty and executed in 1962. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered at sea over the Mediterranean.

"Eichmann was seen alive for many months on trial before being sentenced to death and executed. No one wanted a monument to him so they cremated him. But i dont know anyone who claimed he wasnt eicjhman [sic]. No comparison with suddenly burying him at sea without any chance to view him which i doubt happened [sic]," Stratfor CEO George Friedman replied.

"The US Govt needs to make body pics available like the MX's do, with OBL's pants pulled down, to shout down the lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck," Burton says in another message.

In another missive Burton says Osama’s body “is a crime scene and I don’t see the FBI nor DOJ letting that happen.”

WikiLeaks began publishing Stratfor emails in late February. The archive was obtained by the hacker group Anonymous, which successfully attacked one of the firm’s servers. More than 5 million emails were apparently stolen.

Stratfor is a US-based intelligence firm called the “shadow CIA” by some media. Among its clients are several US agencies and many big companies. The company relies on paid tips from informants placed in high circles of business, government and security all around the world.

Can We Believe Highly Documented Book that a Catholic President was Killed by the CIA?


As we have seen, a strong case can be made that John Fitzgerald Kennedy -- the first and only Catholic president -- had intensely upset intelligence and military circles in the U.S. with his stated efforts to reconcile with the U.S.S.R. following the Cuba missile crisis. There was also anger over the President's desire to seek better relations with Fidel Castro, halt conflict in Laos, and -- last but not least -- end America's direct involvement in Viet Nam. That Kennedy -- with the help of Pope John XXIII [previous article] -- was attempting this is not commonly known. It was done in large part through diplomatic "back channels."

CIA Admits It Salvaged Sunken Soviet Sub

A very interesting story from The Daily Telegraph about a time when Presidents seized national security intelligence opportunities.

The American government has finally revealed details of a secret mission to raise a sunken Soviet submarine.

The admission ends more than 30 years of silence over one of the most elaborate and expensive projects of the Cold War.

The CIA has always refused to confirm even the barest details of Project Azorian, a daring 1974 exercise that was backed by the industrialist Howard Hughes and estimated to have cost £1 billion in today's money.

However, following an application to declassify the information under the US Freedom of Information Act, the CIA has released an internal account of the mission, albeit with some of the biggest mysteries still unanswered.

Spy Chiefs Turn on Obama after Seven CIA Agents are Slaughtered in Afghanistan


There's hope for America now that Barry Soetoro, the inexperienced community agitator and illegitimate President, has crossed these folks.
From The Daily Telegraph
By David Gardner

B
arack Obama was accused of double standards yesterday in his treatment of the CIA.

The President paid tribute to secret agents after seven of them were killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan.

In a statement, he said the CIA had been ‘tested as never before’ and that agents had ‘served on the front lines in directly confronting the dangers of the 21st century’.

He lauded the victims as ‘part of a long line of patriots who have made great sacrifices for their fellow citizens and for our way of life’.

Yet the previous day he had blasted ‘systemic failures’ in the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies for failing to prevent the Christmas Day syringe bomb attack.

President Barack Obama speaks to the media on December 28

Backlash: Agency officials are angry at the president's about face

One day the President is pointing the finger and blaming the intelligence services, saying there is a systemic failure,’ said one agency official. ‘Now we are heroes. The fact is that we are doing everything humanly possible to stay on top of the security situation. The deaths of our operatives shows just how involved we are on the ground.’

But CIA bosses claim they were unfairly blamed at a time the covert government agency has been stretched further than ever before in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

They point to the murder of seven operatives at a remote mountain base in Afghanistan’s Khost Province as an example of how agents are putting their lives on the line at the vanguard of America’s far-flung wars.

The agents – including the chief of the base, a mother-of-three - were collecting information about militants when the suicide bomber struck on Wednesday.

The attack was the deadliest single day for the agency since eight CIA officers were killed in the 1983 bombing of the US Embassy in Beirut.

Deadliest: In April 1983 terrorists targeted the US Embassy in Beirut with the loss of eight CIA officers

The base targetted by Wednesday’s suicide bomber was a control centre for a covert programme overseeing strikes by remote-controlled aircraft along Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan.

‘Those who fell were far from home and close to the enemy, doing the hard work that must be done to protect our country from terrorism. We owe them our deepest gratitude,’ CIA Director Leon Panetta said.

Some CIA officials are angry at being criticised by the White House after Abdulmutallab, 23, was allowed to slip through the security net and board a US-bound flight in Amsterdam despite evidence he was a terror threat.

The president complained that a warning from the former London engineering student’s father and information about an al Qaeda bomb plot involving a Nigerian were not handled properly by the intelligence networks.

But CIA officials say the data was sent to the US National Counterterrorism Centre in Washington, which was set up after the 9/11 attacks as a clearing house where raw data should be analysed.

Agents claim that is where the dots should have been connected to help identify Abdulmutallab as a threat.

Pelosi-CIA Situation 'Untenable,' Security Risk


An Iowa congressman is pushing for a resolution calling for the suspension of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's security clearance.

From OneNewsNow
By Chad Groening

Speaker Pelosi (D-California) continues to refuse to provide evidence of her allegation that the CIA lied to Congress about interrogation techniques used at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. On Friday she brushed aside reporters' questions to elaborate on her earlier charges that the CIA lied about using waterboarding on terrorism suspects. The speaker said she would say no more on the matter.

"I have made the statement that I am going to make on this," she said emphatically when questioned. "I don't have anything more to say about it. I stand by my comment, and what we are doing is staying on our course and not be [sic] distracted from it."

Nancy PelosiSteve KingCongressman Steve King (R-Iowa) thinks Pelosi's refusal to give details on her allegations jeopardizes the trust between Congress and the CIA.

"This is an untenable situation," says King. "It puts our entire national security at risk, and it must be resolved."

The congressman says the speaker's accusations are a serious matter. "...[S]ince she cannot be legitimately briefed, because she has directly challenged the integrity of the CIA, ...I'm asking that her security clearance be suspended or removed until such time as the situation is resolved."

King says if Congresswoman Pelosi is unable or unwilling to provide evidence to support her allegation, the American people will be left with no choice but to conclude that she made this allegation for political purposes.

What Did Pelosi Know, and When Did She Know It?


Today's Washington Times has an excellent editorial on the dilemma facing Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Even the Obama appointed Director of Central Intelligence is suggesting that his former colleague is a liar and that she tone down the rhetoric. Sadly, she has a long history of being fast and loose with the truth.

What is clear is that either the Central Intelligence Agency, and all those other Members of Congress they briefed, are lying, or Mrs. Pelosi is lying. When any such questions arose in the Bush administration, her response was to call for a Congressional investigation. Given that either the Speaker of the House or the Director of Central Intelligence is a liar, we believe that the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct should initiate a full and public investigation to settle the matter and take what steps are needed to remove the official that can no longer be trusted by the American public. The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct is divided equally, with 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans; they are in the best position to sort this out.

When Mrs. Pelosi was suggesting that the Bush Administration had politicized the Justice Department, she said: "We cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department to go unreviewed. I want to see the truth come forth." Surely, at a time when good, trustworthy intelligence information is vital to Congress and to the safety of millions of Americans, this matter cannot "go unreviewed." Let "the truth come forth."
