On Death, Killing, and CopWatch


By Anna Von Reitz

I have known too many people for whom death was a blessing to think ill of Death.
I have also grown to realize that none of us would want to live forever, trapped in the same body, stuck in the same identity, polling over the same skill sets, centuries after centuries. How boring and frustrating would that be, with no fresh starts?
Can you imagine arguing with your second wife over your first wife and kids for 800 years?
Being an Accountant for 500 years?
Having the nickname "Binky" for 700 years? (Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.)
Even if you could maintain a steady-state at age 35 and perfect health "forever" ---- there would come a time when you would want to move on and let go. I know it in my own soul. I think that if people are honest, they know the truth.
Now, killing is a different thing.
The reason that we shouldn't kill isn't that death is such a horrible-bad-ugly-no-good-awful thing, but because we can't create life.
If you can't create life, what right do you have to kill?
It's not your life to take. It doesn't belong to you. A murderer is a life-thief, and he can't even give back what he stole.
Now the rest of the conundrum is what do you do with crazy people and people who murder for fun or for profit?
You can't leave them running around on the streets, that's obvious enough. They have to be caught. They have to be stopped.
But what do you do when these characters are hired in jobs of public trust? Layered in like time-bombs ready to go off whenever their imaginations and trigger fingers get the better of them?
And what do you do with soldiers and agency snipers who didn't learn a thing from the Nuremberg trials? Gung-ho Whack-A-Mole types like Janet Reno and Dr. Strangelove?
These people exist and they are on our payroll, working for "our" government.
That should give everyone reading this cause to pause and itch.
You want people with no conscience and no moral logic sensors to be trained to murder people? You think that's acceptable? Or sane?
Somehow the Nuremberg Message that "just following orders" isn't a good enough excuse for genocide and other forms of murder---- needs to get drilled in. And the fact that "agencies" are not actually part of our government needs to be tattooed on sloping foreheads also.
FBI, FEMA, BATF, IRS----- these agencies are all private subcontractors, for-hire enforcement agents, also known as mercenaries----and they are on our shores, causing trouble for us, because the people who are supposed to be over-seeing their activities are misdirecting them.
Remember Christopher Walken in "Mouse Trap"? Imagine 1500 characters like that who are armed, dangerous, and who think that you are the mouse? And who have bosses who pay them to think that and act accordingly?
There is nothing sacrosanct about all these agencies and the men working in them need a lot better training and focus and direction toward actual useful functions than they are getting. When you have old Nazi Hit-Men and Russian Mafia buying these agencies and controlling their functions, you've just stupidly put yourself and your whole country in a world of hurt--and that is just the obvious stuff we need to be concerned about and riding herd on.
No doubt Lon H. (for example) thought he was doing something necessary by drawing down on an innocent young Mother and her baby and trespassing on her private property to do it, but in fact he crossed the line between duty owed to a Commanding Officer and ---lacked the logic circuits needed to recognize---the Moral Imperative.
Good men don't trespass on private property. They don't shoot innocent unarmed women and babies. They just don't. Period.
So that right there tells you that these men who are doing these things are criminals in fact and don't have the brains or the morals to be behind a gun, no matter how accurate their aim may be.
The rule is--- if you can't do it when you aren't in uniform, you can't do it when you are in uniform, either.
If it is not lawful for you to trespass on someone's land and kick down their door and shoot them in their bath tub or stop them on a public road and ambush them when you are off-duty --- guess what?
A crime is a crime is a crime and this criminal government and its sub-contracting agencies need to be exposed and hounded and set-upon in court and in public meetings and in every media venue there is until the message gets through the thick rinds and dead hearts on Capitol Hill.
This is why I subscribe to CopWatch.com and why I grill police officers and hold them to high standards. I do this because I know that a few out of control cops are worse than any average gang and better equipped. I also know that these men are often misdirected by their superiors and that they protect their superiors, who are often nothing but nasty little political capos in need of a good rump reaming and a different job.
Most of the police and law enforcement guys I meet are confused or jaded, mentally and morally adrift while holding the power of life and death in their hands. Far too often these "enforcement agents" know more about filing reports and producing revenue quotas and different kinds of ammunition than they know about the job we have actually hired them and their agencies to do.
As with so much else, it is up to us to tell them and make sure they listen real good to their job description--- which does not include actions like Ruby Ridge and Waco and the ambush of LaVoy Finicum.

The Logic of the Thing


By Anna Von Reitz

I've got people scattered all over the map and missing the logic of what they are doing and why. 

There are two levels of false claims imposed by two separate "US governments"--- Territorial United States claims and Municipal United States claims--- none of which apply to you unless you actually are a federal citizen. 

As a result of those false claims and false legal presumptions you are being hit on all sides with demands and bills and charges galore that you don't owe.  So you got two choices---- suffer the racketeering until you have nothing left and can't pay any more extortion, after which they will evict you and turn you out on the street, or, decide to claim your exemption and (nicely) tell them to bug off. 

You have to de-construct these claims and find ways to block the BEAST, step-by-step, sequentially.  

Maxim of Law: As a thing is bound, so it is unbound. 

This is like untying a knot--- one of those Chinese knuckle-busters that gets tighter the harder you pull--- if you don't get it straight. 

So why send back the Municipal PERSON'S Birth Certificate and appoint Steven T. Mnuchin Fiduciary for it?  

To get it out of your hands, so that if THEY drag you or your assets into THEIR courts, you can say---- "Hey, if the prosecutor wants to bring any charges against the DEFENDANT they need to talk to Steven T. Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury.  He's the Fiduciary for that ACCOUNT, not me."  

Right.  And is the Prosecutor going to say one word to Steven T. Mnuchin?  No. 

Is the Judge going to say anything more to you after having that placed squarely on the table?    Not if he has a brain in his head.  

The purpose of that whole exercise is to deprive the rats of their ability to pretend that you are the Fiduciary responsible for paying the bills of the DEFENDANT.  

So now you have a potent and provable defense against them playing their typical fraud scheme on you.  You can prove that you aren't the Fiduciary, so now the only other thing you can be is the Subrogee --- the Priority Creditor of the DEFENDANT and the bonds that the Prosecutor has brought forward in order to charge YOU.  

Next, you ask, "Will the Prosecutor or Plaintiff please certify me as the Subrogee in writing?"  

Bring out that Authenticated BC and put it on top of your pile of paper.  The Judge knows what it is, and about now, he's beginning to sweat.  

"I have the authenticated Indemnity Receipt guaranteed by THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE under the Full Faith and Credit Clause."  

Yeah, well, you sure do.  That's as good as grenade with the pin out if you know how to use it. 

About this time the Prosecutor is: (a) sweating, (b) blustering, (c) red-faced, (d) suddenly pale, (e) making frustrated hand gestures to the judge, who is looking (a) slightly green, (b) very tight-lipped, (c) leaned back in his chair, (d) leaned forward in his chair, peering down, (e) rolling his eyes like a demented bull.  

"And I have my recorded Certificate of Assumed Name and recorded claim of the writ of Habeas Corpus enabling me to institute and maintain actions of any kind in the courts of "this" state while maintaining my actual true domicile on the land and soil of these United States...." 

Billy-bub-billy-bum and a teedle-dee-dee.....  The bottom just dropped out of the sea.  The poor sharks are flopping around frantically on the mud flat, flipping and twisting and gnashing their teeth.

"If the Plaintiff and the Prosecutor won't certify me as the Subrogee owed all interest in the DEFENDANT corporation and the bonds of that corporation, I guess I will have to ask the Adjutant General to certify me." 

Look around the court.  Give the Clerk a good stare.   Look the prosecuting attorney up and down.   Give the Judge a good-natured smile as if you were just discussing the nice weather. 

"Or ask for all charges to be dismissed because otherwise, the Priority Creditor would be cheated and Justice would be turned upside down and fraud would be committed on the Court by the Prosecutor and the Clerk and the Plaintiff...." 

"And I don't recall granting any consent to the Court Clerk to act as my Porting Authority, either, which means I've been mis-addressed, too, doesn't it?  Yes, I believe so."

By now, things have gotten awfully quiet.  The Clerk of Court (not the Court Clerk) has probably turned off the recording so there isn't even a whirring sound anywhere.  

"Does the Court have any remedy to offer me?  If not, I will conclude that I have exhausted all remedy.   I will also conclude that the Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and therefore bears the cost of these proceedings.  I will request the bonds be liquidated along with the dismissal of the charges --with prejudice---and ask that the remainder of the funds be sent to me in care of the address you have on file." 

If by some fluke they actually offer you the bonds, waste no time.  Sign them right across the face: 

"Accepted for Payment and Settlement of This ACCOUNT Case Number:________" by (Your Name in Upper and Lower Case) all rights reserved. Date it.   

And now you just have to break off.  Nod and smile nicely and wish everyone a good-afternoon.  And walk out.  If the judge calls your name--- don't look back, just keep on walking unless some Bailiff is dumb enough to try to block your way and restrain you.  Play the same "I can't hear you and I can't see you" game as they play.  And remember Lot's Wife. 

All cool and calm and nice as a field of daisies.  

Keeping your freedom and your assets is Job One.  Anything and everything else that comes out of the process is gravy.  As we gain traction and more and more people wake up, the word will spread and the consensus of what to do about it will harden into action demanding correction and mandating change.  The police will know the truth.  The soldiers will know the truth.  The lawyers and bankers will all know the truth.  

But the Clincher is that you and your family and your friends and your neighbors will know the truth and the rats among us will know that you know.  

That is when you will see the mass exodus from the grain storage facilities. 

Until then, try to see the logic of what you are doing and go step by step.

Here Are the Rats Responsible for the Foreclosures:Dinner-Time!


By Anna Von Reitz

It appears to most of you that you have a mortgage with a bank and that the bank has a "loan servicer" working as a subcontractor to collect and administer the terms of the mortgage.   These loan servicers often have names that imply this role, but in fact, that isn't really their role at all. 

They've bought your Promissory Note from the bank after the bank already discharged it once and got payment from trading your assets through the DTC----and now the bank has sold the same Promissory Note to the "loan servicing company" and they are pretending that they have an additional interest in your collateral.  

Try to picture this---- you write a check, someone cashes it, and then the bank sells your cancelled, already cashed check to a Third Party, who comes to collect an equal amount from you again----even though you don't know these people from Adam, don't have a contract with them, and never gave them any interest in your credit or collateral at all.  

All those of you who are currently in some foreclosure proceedings take a look at the back of the Promissory Note the vermin are presenting and expecting you to pay off?   What does it say on the back?   Why, some bank officer signed off on it, endorsed it (just like endorsing a check) "without recourse".  

That means the bank has no further recourse and can't cash it again, but they've happily sold it on to some other suckers who are now intent on alleging that they have a new, separate contract with you, and that you are obligated to pay them under unknown and unstated terms. 

So the bank advertised a "loan" and gave you a future lease re-purchase agreement instead, which is false advertising and fraud on the face of it, then they set up the ACCOUNT in the name of a municipal government FRANCHISE named after you without your knowledge or consent, which is unlawful conversion, then they got immediate recoupment of up to 21X the amount of the purported "loan" via selling your collateral off--- a process that included cashing out your purloined Promissory Note --- and then, to top it off, they re-sold your already-paid Promissory Note to Third Parties. 

Huh?

How is it that these Third Parties are being allowed to cash what amounts to  a cancelled check and also being allowed to claim that they have a contract with you guaranteeing such double-dipping? 

Answer: more undisclosed and unconscionable contracting processes brought to you by MERS, DTC/DTCC, Bank of New York Mellon, and First American Title (ALTA).

Chances are that you were never aware that your signature has Actual Cash Value.  Nobody disclosed that to you, did they?  Well, it does. 

Chances are that you were told you were being given a loan "in the normal course of business" meaning that you would be borrowing assets from the bank and paying them back.  

That isn't what happened.  

The bank seized upon your signature and sold it as collateral to third party investors who returned 3X to 7X the entire mortgage amount to the bank.  

The bank then wrote a check to YOU --- a municipal franchise corporation named after you---- and pocketed the rest.  They also charged YOU interest and got a security interest in YOUR property for nothing at all. 

Well, how's a "dead" man going to do anything about it?   After all, they snicker, they aren't bilking live people.  They are plundering "abandoned" public trust accounts (JOHN MICHAEL DOE) and public utility companies (JOHN M. DOE) and the "government" is letting them do it, because the government is getting a piece of the action.  

Those investors who bought (they think) your signature then turned around and used it like a rubber-stamp, counterfeiting it on everything you can think of---- other mortgages, new car loans, you name it.  Your good name has been whored-out and counterfeited all over the world. 

These four entities--- MERS, DTC/DTCC, Bank of New York Mellon, and First American Title (ALTA) expedited and controlled and caused and promoted all of it.

What do you say we seize their charters?  Nationalize all their assets and accounts along with all the assets and accounts of the colluding banks and corporations that have benefited themselves from these crimes?  

For the Notice of the Crimes of the Banks &: of the Courts:

By the way, we are now reaching 70 million readers each week.  That is about one percent of the world's population!  Pretty amazing, no?  The "Tin Hats" are proving to be the only ones who knew what was going on and their critics are proving to be the crooks responsible for all the crime and theft and misadministration. Who knew?

JFK: Bethesda Autopsy Photos not JFK / Oswald Framed, Warren Report a Sham


By Anna Von Reitz

Finally.  The Truth Begins to Emerge About JFK.  An Update From Jim Fetzer, USMC, Retired..... via Ambassador Lee E. Wanta: 

I don't usually just hit "Forward" on a message and send it to my List or publish it on my page, but I am making an exception today.

I was seven years-old when the Deed in Dallas went down, and even then, I was sitting in front of the TV saying, "But Mom, this is all phony!  Can't you see where the bullet came from?"   

[I have held my immediate distrust and dislike for LBJ throughout my lifetime.  I never lost the feeling that he had something to do with it besides being next in line.  Maybe we will finally find out exactly what his role in these murders (plural) and cover-ups (plural) was.] 

Trump released thousands of files on the JFK Assassination a couple weeks ago.  And guess what?  What we all knew was phony was phony. Oswald was a patsy.  The guy on the slab wasn't even JFK.  And here is the proof in black and white presented below. 

Please pause a moment and think: what you are seeing now has been known by  hundreds if not thousands of Dallas police, federal agency subcontractors, and actual government employees, not to mention the Kennedy family, for over fifty years.  They knew.  They had to know.  So where does that leave us?  

What happened to the actual JFK?   Was he kidnapped?  Murdered in cold blood in the Oval Office?   Imprisoned somewhere---here or abroad?   He certainly never re-appeared among the living.  Jackie moved on.  His children grew up.  The nation mourned. 

For a brief and shining moment, this one man captured the hearts and inspired the minds of not just Americans, but people all over the world.  And then he was snuffed out like a brightly burning candle, and the world he illuminated guttered into night. 

What I felt most of all about this as a small child was righteous anger, a certainty that those who did this--- whoever did it, however they did it--- deserved to go down in infamy, deserved to be caught, tried, and executed, deserved to have every one of us walk by and spit on their tombstones forever afterward.    I feel the same way about them as I feel about the sniper who shot Randy Weaver's wife and baby as they stood in the doorway of their own cabin on American soil and the callous vermin who massacred civilians in Vietnam and the adherents of "ISIS" mindlessly beheading and burning what isn't theirs to kill and more recently the mindless sewer rats who planned the ambush and execution of LaVoy Finicum, an innocent American Rancher exercising his right to attend a public assembly.     

Such men do not deserve to live and much less do they deserve to live among us.  We need to wake up.  We need to stop ducking and dodging and hoping that we won't be next.  We have to find our courage and our resolve to put an end to this criminality in our government once and for all.  

Here is the link.

U.S. Military vs the CIA report


This report received earlier today from a RELIABLE SOURCE; posting FYI ................

From: NL
Date: Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 5:51 PM
Subject: U.S. Military (loyal to Trump) VERSUS Rogue Elements of the CIA (holdovers from Obama)

 

UPDATE 2:23 PM EST -- MONDAY, NOV. 20

I have now spoken to almost ALL of my former colleagues in the Intelligence Community and here's what took place:
Yes, a group of military aircraft approached and circled the CIA Headquarters in Virginia for upwards of 30 minutes on Saturday.  They did NOT land and did NOT enter CIA HQ forcibly - or otherwise.
There is apparently an ongoing and gigantic problem between the Military and the CIA insofar as the Military is engaged in implementing President Trump's policies, while elements within the CIA are still INTENTIONALLY carrying out the failed policies of the Obama regime. 
Specifically, these failed Obama-era policies include supplying weapons and logistical support to so-called "freedom fighters" inside Syria , many of whom are actually Al-Nusra, Al-Qaida and ISIS terrorists.
The support being provided by elements in the CIA is being used against certain units of the US Military who are also inside Syria.
The Military has repeatedly and strenuously told the CIA the old Obama policies must stop.  The CIA failed to stop.
So someone in the Pentagon/Military . . . . no one will say who . . . made a direct show of force to the CIA on Saturday.   It was, for lack of a better description, the sending of a message from the military to the CIA:  KNOCK IT OFF!
It was done over a weekend apparently because most of the big shots in the Pentagon are at home, and by the time they heard something was going on, it was pretty much over . . . . the aircraft returned to wherever they came from.
This is utterly unprecedented.  To have one agency of the US Government make a show of force to another entity of that same government is unheard of.  It smacks of a sort of internal civil war heating up inside our own government!
Apparently things are quickly "coming to a head" between competing policies, and the military is tired of its people being injured or killed by the unintended consequences of the old policies and the CIA' stubborn refusal to stop backing the so-called "Freedom Fighters" in Syria.
No one will tell me who gave the order to "buzz" CIA HQ.   No one will tell me who inside CIA is causing the trouble.  But there is trouble . . . and given the activities over the weekend, one can only hope this thing goes away very quickly and quietly.
In the meantime, as far as the public is concerned: 
"Nothing took place.  Everything is fine.  Nothing to worry about."

FBI Informant Gathered 6 YEARS Worth Of Evidence On Hillary's Uranium Deal


FBI Informant Gathered 6 YEARS Worth Of Evidence On Hillary's Uranium Deal
Wikimedia Commons

An FBI informant gathered extensive evidence during his six years undercover about a Russian plot to corner the American uranium market, ranging from corruption inside a U.S. nuclear transport company to Obama administration approvals that let Moscow buy and sell more atomic fuels, according to more than 5,000 pages of documents from the counterintelligence investigation.

The memos, reviewed by The Hill, conflict with statements made by Justice Department officials in recent days that informant William Campbell’s prior work won’t shed much light on the U.S. government’s controversial decision in 2010 to approve Russia’s purchase of the Uranium One mining company and its substantial U.S. assets.

Campbell documented for his FBI handlers the first illegal activity by Russians nuclear industry officials in fall 2009, nearly an entire year before the Russian state-owned Rosatom nuclear firm won Obama administration approval for the Uranium One deal, the memos show.

Campbell, who was paid $50,000 a month to consult for the firm, was solicited by Rosatom colleagues to help overcome political opposition to the Uranium One purchase while collecting FBI evidence that the sale was part of a larger effort by Moscow to make the U.S. more dependent on Russian uranium, contemporaneous emails and memos show.

“The attached article is of interest as I believe it highlights the ongoing resolve in Russia to gradually and systematically acquire and control global energy resources,” Rod Fisk, an American contractor working for the Russians, wrote in a June 24, 2010, email to Campbell.

The email forwarded an article on Rosatom’s efforts to buy Uranium One through its ARMZ subsidiary. Fisk also related information from a conversation with the Canadian executives of the mining firm about their discomfort with the impending sale.

“I spoke with a senior Uranium One Executive,” Fisk wrote Campbell, detailing his personal history with some of the company’s figures. “He said that corporate Management was not even told before the announcement [of the sale] was made.

“There are a lot of concerns,” Fisk added, predicting the Canadians would exit the company with buyouts once the Russians took control. Fisk added the premium price the Russians were paying to buy a mining firm that in 2010 controlled about 20 percent of America’s uranium production seemed “strange.”

At the time, Campell was working alongside Fisk as an American consultant to Rosatom’s commercial sales arm, Tenex.

But unbeknownst to his colleagues, Campbell also was serving as an FBI informant gathering evidence that Fisk, Tenex executive Vadim Mikerin and several others were engaged in a racketeering scheme involving millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks, plus extortion and money laundering.Justice Department officials confirmed the emails and documents gathered by Campbell, saying they were in the possession of the FBI, the department's national security division and its criminal division at various times over the last decade. They added that Campbell's work was valuable enough that the FBI paid him nearly $200,000, mostly for reimbursements over six years, but that the money also included a check for more than $51,000 in compensation after the final convictions were secured.
The information he gathered on Uranium One was more significant to the counterintelligence aspect of the case that started in 2008 than the eventual criminal prosecutions that began in 2013, they added.

Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said Monday that the agency plans to brief members of Congress next week on Campbell's work, the counterintelligence investigation into Russian uranium and the nuclear bribery case. Some issues related to the case are also being reviewed by senior Justice officials, she added.
"The Department of Justice has authorized the confidential informant to disclose to the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as staff, any information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery involving transactions in the uranium market. Until the informant publicly speaks to what he knew or knows about these matters, we are unable to respond further," she said.
Campbell’s undercover work helped FBI counterintelligence chronicle a Russian uranium strategy modeled after Moscow’s success in creating natural gas monopolies in eastern Europe that strengthened Russia’s economy and geopolitical standing after the Cold War, the officials said.

Part of the goal was to make Americans more reliant on Russian uranium before a program that converted former Soviet warheads into U.S. nuclear fuel expired in 2013, according to documents and interviews. Russia’s ambitions included building a uranium enrichment facility on U.S. soil, the documents show.

The FBI task force supervising Campbell since 2008 watched as the Obama administration made more than a half dozen decisions favorable to the Russians' plan, which ranged from approving the sale of Uranium One to removing Rosatom from export restrictions and making it easier for Moscow to win billions in new commercial uranium sales contracts. The favorable decisions occurred during a time when President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were pursuing a public "reset" to improve relations with Moscow, a plan that fell apart after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Campbell also produced leads for the FBI about suspicious activity inside Iran’s and South Africa’s nuclear industries, the documents show.

And most importantly, it developed concrete evidence that Tenex — at its Russian leadership’s behest — had engaged in a massive racketeering scheme. That evidence led to indictments in 2014 and the convictions of several figures in 2015.

The defendants who pled guilty included Mikerin, the very man Russia sent to the United States to lead its uranium strategy, as well as the head of the American trucking company that moved Russia’s uranium around the United States.

Multiple congressional committees recently got permission from the Justice Department to interview Campbell after The Hill reported last month the existence of his informant work.

Lawmakers want to know what the FBI did with the evidence Campbell gathered in real time and whether it warned Obama and top leaders before they made the Russia-favorable decisions, like the Uranium One deal.

Since Campbell’s identity emerged in recent days, there have been several statements by Justice officials, both on the record and anonymously, casting doubt on the timing and value of his work, and specifically his knowledge about Uranium One.

The more than 5,000 pages of documents reviewed by The Hill directly conflict with some of the Justice officials’ accounts.

For instance, both Attorney General Jeff Sessions in testimony last week and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in a letter to the Senate last month tried to suggest there was no connection between Uranium One and the nuclear bribery case. Their argument was that the criminal charges weren’t filed until 2014, while the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States' (CFIUS) approval of the Uranium One sale occurred in October 2010.

“The way I understand that matter is that the case in which Mr. Mikerin was convicted was not connected to the CFIUS problem that occurred two to three years before,” Sessions testified to the House Judiciary Committee last week, echoing Rosenstein’s letter from a few weeks earlier.

But investigative records show FBI counterintelligence recorded the first illicit payments in the bribery/kickback scheme in November 2009, a year before the CFIUS approval.

Campbell also relayed detailed information about criminal conduct throughout 2010, including the coordinates for various money laundering drops, according to his FBI debriefing reports. The evidence Campbell gathered indicated Mikerin’s corruption scheme was being directed by and benefitting more senior officials with Rosatom and Tenex back in Russia, the records show, a claim U.S. officials would make in court years later.

“There is zero doubt we had evidence of criminal activity before the CFIUS approval and that Justice knew about it through [the natural security division],” said a source with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Republican members of Congress have been angered by the Justice Department’s first answers because they conflict with the evidence already gathered in their probe.

“Attorney General Sessions seemed to say that the bribery, racketeering and money laundering offenses involving Tenex’s Vadim Mikerin occurred after the approval of the Uranium One deal by the Obama administration. But we know that the FBI’s confidential informant was actively compiling incriminating evidence as far back as 2009,” Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) told The Hill.

“It is hard to fathom how such a transaction could have been approved without the existence of the underlying corruption being disclosed. I hope AG Sessions gets briefed about the CI and gives the Uranium One case the scrutiny it deserves,” added DeSantis, whose House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee is one of the investigating panels.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a similar rebuke last week to Rosenstein, saying the deputy attorney general’s first response to the committee “largely missed the point” of the congressional investigations.

“The essential question is whether the Obama Justice Department provided notice of the criminal activity of certain officials before the CFIUS approval of the Uranium One deal and other government decisions that enabled the Russians to trade nuclear materials in the U.S.,” Grassley said.
Flores said Sessions stands by his testimony. "The Attorney General’s testimony is accurate. The criminal case in which Mikerin was convicted and the factual and legal requirements needed to make that case did not address the CFIUS matter," the Justice spokeswoman said.

Similar misinformation surfaced last week in articles by Reuters and Yahoo News in which officials were quoted as casting doubt that Campbell had any information about the Uranium One deal, because Tenex was a different division of Rosatom than the ARMZ subsidiary that bought the mining firm.

But Campbell’s FBI informant file shows Uranium One came up several times in 2010 as the sale was pending, partly because Tenex was Rosatom’s commercial arm and would be charged with finding markets for the new uranium being mined and enriched both in the United States and abroad.

Campbell himself was directly solicited by his colleagues to help overcome opposition to the Uranium One deal, the FBI informant files show. In an Oct. 6, 2010, email with the subject line “ARMZ + Uranium One,” Fisk forwarded a news article outlining Republican efforts to derail the sale.

“The referenced article may present a very good opportunity for Sigma [Campbell’s company] to try and remove the opposing influences, if that is something you can do,” Fisk wrote the informant, who was also a paid consultant for the company at the time.

The next day, Mikerin was sent an 11-page report laying out the larger Russian nuclear strategy and what Russia wanted to do inside the U.S. to gain advantage in the uranium market. The report cited specific concerns about the political pressure opposing Uranium One if it wasn’t overcome. Campbell intercepted the document.

“Some Republicans truly fear the entry of Russia into the U.S. market, as demonstrated by the fact that they are taking steps to block the purchase of Uranium One,” the report warned Mikerin. “This effort bears watching as it may provide clues as to the likely political reaction if a Russian entity was going to participate in the construction and operation of a uranium enrichment plant in the U.S.”

After Rosatom’s sale was approved, Uranium One officials would have direct contact with Tenex and Mikerin, some of which was witnessed by Campbell, the documents show.

For instance, Mikerin forwarded to Campbell an email in 2012 from a Uranium One executive suggesting the planned construction of a new nuclear reactor near Augusta, Ga., might prove a good opportunity for both Uranium One and Tenex to expand their business, the documents show.

Campbell’s debriefing files also show he regularly mentioned to FBI agents in 2010 a Washington entity with close ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton that was being paid millions to help expand Tenex’s business in the United States. The entity began increasing its financial support to a Clinton charitable project after it was hired by the Russians, according to the documents.

Campbell engaged in conversations with his Russian colleagues about the efforts of the Washington entity and others to gain influence with the Clintons and the Obama administration. He also listened as visiting Russians used racially tinged insults to boast about how easy they found it to win uranium business under Obama, according to a source familiar with Campbell’s planned testimony to Congress.

Uranium One was a large enough concern for the informant that he confronted one of his FBI handlers after learning the CFIUS had approved the sale and that the U.S. had given Mikerin a work visa despite the extensive evidence of his criminal activity, the source said.

The agent responded back to the informant with a comment suggesting “politics” was involved, the source familiar with Campbell’s planned testimony said.
Justice officials said federal prosecutors have no records that Campbell or his lawyer made any allegations about the Uranium One deal during his debriefings in the criminal case that started in 2013, but acknowledged he collected evidence about the mining deal during the FBI counterintelligence investigation that preceded it.
In recent days, news media including The Washington Post and Fox News anchor Shepard Smith have inaccurately reported another element of the story: that Uranium One never exported its American uranium because the Obama administration did not allow it.

However, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission authorized Uranium One to export through a third party tons of uranium to Canada for enrichment processing, and some of that product ended up in Europe, NRC documents state.

A Uranium One executive acknowledged to The Hill that 25 percent of the uranium it shipped to Canada under the third-party export license ended up with either European or Asian customers through what it known in the nuclear business as “book transfers.”

But the recent leaks that have most concerned congressional investigators occurred in a Yahoo story late Friday, in which Justice officials anonymously questioned Campbell’s credibility and suggested they had to alter their criminal case against Mikerin in 2015, eventually striking a plea deal, because they feared he would be a “disaster” as a trial witness.

The FBI informant file, however, paints a different picture. After Mikerin pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 48 months prison in December 2015, the FBI took Campbell out to a celebratory seafood dinner and delivered a handsome reward: a check for $51,046.36 dated Jan. 7, 2016, a copy of which was obtained by The Hill.

A source directly familiar with the FBI’s evidence said the primary reason prosecutors working under Rosenstein, then the U.S. attorney in Maryland, changed course in the case was because of concerns their initial indictment miscast Campbell’s role in the investigation.

The original indictments and affidavits portrayed Campbell as a “victim” who became a confidential witness after the Russians tried to “extort” him in summer 2009 into a kickback scheme, court records show.

In fact, Campbell was an informant deeply controlled by FBI counterintelligence starting when he signed a nondisclosure agreement in January 2008, more than a year before Mikerin engaged him in the criminal activity, the FBI’s records show.

Campbell was inserted inside Mikerin’s world specifically to look for criminal activity and other harmful national security actions by the Russians, starting with undercover work he performed as a consultant contracting with a lobbying firm in 2008 and then inside Tenex starting in 2009, according to documents and memos.

Campbell’s regular debriefings dating to 2008 show the nature of some of his undercover work, including making surreptitious recordings and collecting documents well before the first money laundering started inside Tenex in 2009. He also had a long history of collaboration with U.S. intelligence, including the FBI, that predated his case, sources told The Hill.

To facilitate his cover, Campbell made a cash payment in summer 2009 to a Russian consultant after he secured the Tenex consulting contract. His Russian colleagues demanded he hire the overseas consultant to better learn the company's strategy and how the Russians preferred to receive their consulting reports, sources said.
The transaction later worried prosecutors in the criminal case because they feared it might muddy their case of extortion against Mikerin because the voluntary payment was made only shortly before the kickback demands started, the sources said.

The prosecutors also faced another concern about the case unrelated to Campbell, the sources said.

When Fisk — one of the main targets of their bribery investigation — died in 2011, the FBI did not execute a grand jury subpoena to capture all of his evidence. Instead, agents asked his widow for permission to voluntarily search his computer hard drive and remove the documents the agents wanted.

The hard drive was subsequently discarded before the criminal charges were filed, leaving it unavailable for defense lawyers to search, the sources said. Defense lawyers pounced on the revelation late in the case, court records show.

At the time, Fisk was a larger than life figure inside the Russian nuclear industry, having headed the trucking firm that moved uranium across the United States on behalf of Rosatom. Campbell helped the FBI document that both Fisk, starting in 2004, and a successor, starting in 2011, at the trucking firm were paying bribes to the Russians, the records show.

During 2010, Fisk was transitioning from the trucking firm to become a key strategist for Tenex and Mikerin, advising them on the Russian nuclear industry’s aggressive push to expand its business in the United States.

Sources said the recasting of the prosecution in 2015 had much to do with avoiding exposing the extensive nature of the FBI counterintelligence operations that involved Campbell.

“This isn’t really about his credibility or work, which generated leads we relied on well into 2016. Often times, CI investigations are focused first on monitoring and stopping activity that threatens U.S. security and the consequences to later criminal case are a secondary concern,” said one source familiar with the probe. “That’s the reality of a dirty business.”

Asked whether the criminal side of the Justice Department knew about Campbell’s work, including its origins to 2008 and its possible ties to Uranium One, a source with direct knowledge said the prosecutors acquired all of Campbell’s emails as part of a 2015 agreement he signed. Justice also had access to Campbell’s emails recovered from Fisk’s computers in 2011 as well as documents Campbell gave during debriefings that started in 2008, the source added.

The sources familiar with the full body of Campbell’s work said they expect he can provide significant new information to Congress.

“Will he be able to prove that we knew Russia was engaged in criminal conduct before Uranium One was approved? You bet,” the source said. “Were the Russians using political influence and pulling political levers to try to win stuff from the U.S. government? You bet. Was he perfect? No one in this line of work is. But we were focused on much larger issues than just that.”

Campbell endured significant stress during his time undercover and suffered a handful of episodes related to drinking, resulting in two misdemeanor reckless driving charges and one misdemeanor driving under the influence, his lawyer said.

Attorney Victoria Toensing told The Hill that the FBI was fully aware of the drinking incidents and continued to use her client for many years after.

“Until he began working undercover for the U.S. government in his early 60s, Mr. Campbell had an unblemished driving record,” she said. “However, the pressure of living a double life and being threatened by the Russians if he violated their trust took a toll.

“Additionally, there were numerous occasions where he was required to meet socially with the Russians, who were prodigious imbibers of vodka. Any refusal by him to participate could have compromised his cover. Mr. Campbell has not had any driving or drinking issue since 2014 when he ceased working undercover."

Homeless Vet Dies on the Street


HOMELESS VET DIES ON THE STREET WITH NO FAMILY TO LAY HIM TO REST  -  THAT'S WHEN HIGH SCHOOLERS STEPPED IN


By Tracy Mastaler
November 20, 2017 



When a homeless Army veteran died recently on the streets of Boston, students from a local high school stepped in to ensure that the man received a proper sendoff.

Upon learning that no family members or friends would be attending Army veteran John T. Fitzmaurice’s funeral, students from Catholic Memorial High School partnered with a local ministry and a funeral home to make plans to give him a final farewell.




“We have a lot of veterans in my own family so I know the sacrifice he made for the country and I know the service he committed in the years he committed to serving our country,” said Will Padden, president of the senior class at Catholic Memorial.  “John in this case needed a family and we were there to be John’s family,” said Padden.

Prior to Fitzmaurice’s burial, a full mass was held for him in the chapel at the high school, WBZ-TV reported.

The Rev. Chris Palladino volunteered to officiate the service and he gave a eulogy for Fitzmaurice.

A homeless veteran recently passed away on the streets of Boston. He died with no living family members or friends –


Many Catholic Memorial students attended the mass and participated in the funeral.

At the conclusion of the service, a group of seniors carried Fitzmaurice’s flag-draped coffin to the waiting hearse.

A soldier played taps for Fitzmaurice and he was buried with full military honors, according to Fox News.

The experience served as a lesson for the students at Catholic Memorial.  “For us paying homage to a veteran, to bring him to our campus, to provide the burial rights he deserves, and to honor his legacy and to help our boys realize we have to stand with those who are marginalized,” said the school’s president, Peter Folan.

In a comment on Facebook, one user wrote, “Powerful and beautiful – Thank you to the Catholic school who just SHINES. What beautiful souls who make a difference – RIP now to this soldier.  He must be smiling down on all those wonderful students!”

According to Breitbart News, students at other American schools have volunteered to give proper sendoffs to military veterans without loved ones.

In 2015, students at the University of Detroit Jesuit School began an ongoing pallbearer ministry program where high school students serve as pallbearers for “unclaimed” veterans and non-veterans, NBC’s Today reported.

“The students’ service is so important because they realize how they can give back to the people of our community who have given so much to us,” said faculty member Todd Wilson. “They believe that, through being a pallbearer at the funerals of veterans, the homeless, the socially poor and others, they are … offering a final tribute to a person’s life journey.”

NO veteran of ANY branch of service for our nation should EVER be homeless and without those who care for him/her and attend to their needs.  What a travesty for these united States to treat one who laid down his life in service for our safety only to be treated with less respect than a rat running on the sidewalks.  For that matter, NO AMERICAN should be homeless.  And to these high school boys - BRAVO to you for caring and for your 'service' to our vets.  Your caring and your service to this veteran is a wonderful example for us selfish self-centered old coots.  God bless you!
