Ex President Clinton Flew On Sex Offender's Plane 26 Times, Three Days Without Secret Service

[From article]
Former president Bill Clinton was (sic) flew on the plane of registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein far more often than was originally believed.
Epstein, who avoided federal prosecution for child sex abuse, witness tampering and money laundering that would have put him behind bars for decades, took a plea deal:
On Sept. 24, 2007, in a deal shrouded in secrecy that left alleged victims shocked at its leniency, Epstein agreed to a 30-month sentence, including 18 months of jail time and 12 months of house arrest and the agreement to pay dozens of young girls under a federal statute providing for compensation to victims of child sexual abuse.
In exchange, the U.S. Attorney’s Office promised not to pursue any federal charges against Epstein or his co-conspirators.
The list of Epstein friends and associates who flew on his orgy plane - dubbed "The Lolita Express" - reads like a who's who in business, the arts, and politics.
As for Bill Clinton, it was believed he flew on Epstein's plane about a dozen times. Instead, flight logs obtained by Fox News show that the ex-president traveled with Epstein on 26 occassions. The flights were notorious for the sex orgies that took place with girls as young as 12.
On at least 5 occasions, Clinton ditched his Secret Service detail.
Fox News has hit a wall with the Secret Service, the Clinton Library, prosecutors and lawyers in trying to get information about the ex-president having sex with underage girls.
[. . .]
on a five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, not a single Secret Service agent is listed. The U.S. Secret Service has declined to answer multiple Freedom of Information Act requests filed by FoxNews.com seeking information on these trips. Clinton would have been required to file a form to dismiss the agent detail, a former Secret Service agent told FoxNews.com.
[. . .]
However, hundreds of pages of court records, including reports from police and FBI agents, reviewed by FoxNews.com, show Epstein was under law enforcement scrutiny for more than a year.
Police in Palm Beach, Fla., launched a year-long investigation in 2005 into Epstein after parents of a 14-year-old girl said their daughter was sexually abused by him. Police interviewed dozens of witnesses, confiscated his trash, performed surveillance and searched his Palm Beach mansion, ultimately identifying 20 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 who they said were sexually abused by Epstein.
In 2006, at the request of Palm Beach Police, the FBI launched a federal probe into allegations that Epstein and his personal assistants had “used facilities of interstate commerce to induce girls between the ages of 14 and 17 to engage in illegal sexual activities.”
I am feeling unclean simply by writing about this. They should have thrown Epstein into a dark hole - along with his partner in sexual deviancy Bill Clinton - and thrown away the key. Meanwhile, the Great Enabler, Hillary Clinton, runs for the highest office in the land as her pervert husband campaigns for her.
As long is Bill is campaigning for Hillary, this issue is fair game for both of them. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the rest of the media to jump on this. It may be that Clinton's sexual peccadilloes might actually matter this time around, which means the truth must be covered up at all costs.
For those smirking reporters who not-so secretly had admiration for Clinton's sexual conquests, perhaps they should wonder how they'd feel if their teenage daughter had been on one of those flights?

Conformist Polish Media Protects Communist Leaders, Censors Dissent. Entire Government Leadership Killed in Plane Crash




How is this different from what U.S. journalists do when reporting and not reporting about government criminals?

[From article]
With New Year fireworks, Western media opened a frontal attack on the new Polish government formed after a landslide election victory by the Law and Justice Party (PIS). In 2015, the PIS won both presidential and parliamentary elections, and for the first time since WWII, removed entrenched post-communist forces from power in Poland. To the surprise of many Polish people, American media reacted with anger to this development, announcing that in Poland a radical right-wing government was formed and overnight introduced a dictatorship. Poland’s so-called “disturbing tilt to the right” was of grave concern to the Western media, which had been dutifully supporting the previous post-communist government of the Civic Platform (“PO”) and PSL coalition. Protests against “violation of democracy” and “Putinization of Poland” reverberated across the West.
[. . .]
The Western media were outraged that the PIS government challenged the appointment of five judges to the Constitutional Court hastily pushed through the parliament by the previous PO/PSL coalition. They failed to report, however, that the constitutional crisis in Poland resulted from the illegal attempt of the PO/PSL coalition to force its 14 judges to the 15-member Constitutional Court in the final days of the parliament term.
[. . .]
A similar constitutional crisis occurred almost simultaneously in Venezuela. The party in power that was about to lose elections stacked the Supreme Court with their own appointments just before elections. The difference in reporting on these two similar cases is astonishing. The Venezuelan case received a detailed coverage. All relevant facts were provided and arguments of both sides were clearly presented. No one called the struggle over the Supreme Court in Venezuela as a coup d’état. Instead, constitutional law experts provided arguments for both sides of the conflict. No one raised concerns about “putinization” of Venezuela.
[. . .]
With respect to Poland, Western media disregarded the obligation to provide diverse viewpoints and responsible content. Paradoxically, this serious failure to provide balanced reporting took place while the media were accusing the new Polish government of violating freedom of speech and freedom of press.
[. . .]
A massive wave of firings in all Polish media took place in 2010, in the aftermath of the crash of Polish Air Force One in Smolensk, Russia. At the time, nearly all independently thinking journalists were removed from the mainstream media without a single complaint from the Western watchdogs of free speech and human rights. The publisher of a leading daily, Rzeczpospolita, was almost destroyed by the PO/PSL government for revealing that samples from the Smolensk crash site tested positive for explosives.
[. . .]
The gap between Western myths and the reality of contemporary Poland is alarming. To most Americans, Lech Walesa remains a symbol of victory over communism. Thus far, no Western historian has been willing to take on the subject of what the archives reveal about Lech Walesa. But in Poland everybody knows that Walesa was a communist collaborator used by the Jaruzelski regime to assure communist forces in Poland a smooth transformation into free marketeers with all their powers and privileges intact.
[. . .]
The year 2009 leading up to April 10, 2010 was marked by an unprecedented media onslaught on President Lech Kaczynski. He was attacked and ridiculed for his every move and every word. His every public appearance was used to discredit him in the eyes of the public. All the mainstream media were engaged in the massive assault on President Lech Kaczynski. Looking back, the statement of a Russian FSB agent Alexander Litwinienko made just before his untimely death that the public must be adequately prepared for a political assassination was prophetic.
On the morning of April 10, 2010, President Lech Kaczynski, the entire Central Command of the Polish Armed Forces, and representatives of the patriotic elite of Polish society evaporated in the crash of the Polish Air Force One in Smolensk, Russia. Poland froze.
[. . .]
Providing half-truths was not sufficient either. The most common tool used by the PO/PSL media was the practice of discrediting those who disagreed with them.
[. . .]
those who dared to challenge the official version of the Smolensk crash were brutally discredited as conspiracy theorists, some key opponents committed so-called suicides. Public discourse became one gigantic manipulation.
[. . .]
communist victims were turned into oppressors, Solidarity real heroes became renegades, and efforts to demand accountability for communist crimes were discredited as ill motivated.
[. . .]
One commentator observed that watching these post-communists from KOD protesting against violations of democracy in Poland is like watching the Gestapo and SS protesting against anti-Semitism.

Solar Powered Plane In Non Stop Round The World Flight With Two Pilots




Solar Impulse plane begins first sun-powered flight around the world
Two Swiss pilots began the first ever attempt to fly around the world in a solar-powered plane. André Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard, the founders of the project, will take it in turns to fly the plane during the five-month long project. Each flight will last five or six days, with the two pilots swapping when the plane stops to be maintained. The plane set off from Abu Dhabi and will head around the world before coming back to the Gulf in late July or August.

FBI Operating Secret Low Altitude Flights Over U.S. Cities For Surveillance




Is this part of the business model for the FBI? First the U.S. government relaxed border enforcement allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter the US for whatever reasons. Then the police and the FBI began watching them to see what they do. Maybe some of them are, Gasp! terrorists, or criminals. Gasp! Gasp! That is like the Savings and Loan scandal (see, e.g., The Daisy Chain, by James O'Shea) Congress repealed laws protecting small banks from fraud and theft of funds. Criminal lawyers and accountants take advantage of the re-opened loop holes and steal millions bankrupting small banks. The FDIC covers the losses and Congress hires the same lawyers and accountants to restore the banks to their former healthy status. Or the feds allowing illegal drugs to flow over borders from South America and Europe. Then they use taxpayer funds fighting the drug wars which they created and sustained.

[From article]
The FBI is operating a small air force with scores of low-flying planes across the country carrying video and, at times, cellphone surveillance technology — all hidden behind fictitious companies that are fronts for the government, The Associated Press has learned.
The planes' surveillance equipment is generally used without a judge's approval, and the FBI said the flights are used for specific, ongoing investigations. In a recent 30-day period, the agency flew above more than 30 cities in 11 states across the country, an AP review found.
[. . .]
U.S. law enforcement officials confirmed for the first time the wide-scale use of the aircraft, which the AP traced to at least 13 fake companies, such as FVX Research, KQM Aviation, NBR Aviation and PXW Services. Even basic aspects of the program are withheld from the public in censored versions of official reports from the Justice Department's inspector general.
"The FBI's aviation program is not secret," spokesman Christopher Allen said in a statement.
[. . .]
The AP traced at least 50 aircraft back to the FBI, and identified more than 100 flights since late April orbiting both major cities and rural areas.
One of the planes, photographed in flight last week by the AP in northern Virginia, bristled with unusual antennas under its fuselage and a camera on its left side.
[. . .]
The surveillance flights comply with agency rules, an FBI spokesman said.
[. . .]
During the past few weeks, the AP tracked planes from the FBI's fleet on more than 100 flights over at least 11 states plus the District of Columbia, most with Cessna 182T Skylane aircraft. These included parts of Houston, Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis and Southern California.
[. . .]
Officials say cellphone surveillance is rare, although the AP found in recent weeks FBI flights orbiting large, enclosed buildings for extended periods where aerial photography would be less effective than electronic signals collection. Those included above Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.
[. . .]
After The Washington Post revealed flights by two planes circling over Baltimore in early May, the AP began analyzing detailed flight data and aircraft-ownership registrations that shared similar addresses and flight patterns. That review found some FBI missions circled above at least 40,000 residents during a single flight over Anaheim, California, in late May, according to Census data and records provided by the website FlightRadar24.com.
[. . .]
The FBI asked the AP not to disclose the names of the fake companies it uncovered, saying that would saddle taxpayers with the expense of creating new cover companies to shield the government's involvement, and could endanger the planes and integrity of the surveillance missions. The AP declined the FBI's request because the companies' names — as well as common addresses linked to the Justice Department — are listed on public documents and in government databases.
At least 13 front companies that AP identified being actively used by the FBI are registered to post office boxes in Bristow, Virginia, which is near a regional airport used for private and charter flights. Only one of them appears in state business records.
[. . .]
Included on most aircraft registrations is a mysterious name, Robert Lindley. He is listed as chief executive and has at least three distinct signatures among the companies. Two documents include a signature for Robert Taylor, which is strikingly similar to one of Lindley's three handwriting patterns.
[Does that mean the FBI is filing false documents to government agencies? Perjury? Felonies?]
[. . .]
The FBI does not generally obtain warrants to record video from its planes of people moving outside in the open, but it also said that under a new policy it has recently begun obtaining court orders to use cell-site simulators. The Obama administration had until recently been directing local authorities through secret agreements not to reveal their own use of the devices, even encouraging prosecutors to drop cases rather than disclose the technology's use in open court.

Fifteen Killed in Two Accidents



Fatal plane crash
David Proeber, Bloomington Pantagraph
Investigators work at the site of a plane crash near Bloomington, Ill., on April 7, 2015, that claimed the lives of seven people. The Cessna 414 took off from Indianapolis and crashed just short of Central Illinois Regional Airport after midnight after returning from the NCAA Final Four.


[From article]
Two members of Illinois State University's athletic department were among the seven people killed when their small plane crashed near the Bloomington airport while returning from the NCAA basketball championship game in Indianapolis, authorities said.
They were identified as Aaron Leetch, deputy director of athletics for external operations, and Torrey Ward, associate head coach of the Redbirds men’s basketball team.
[. . .]
Four other victims have been identified: Terry Stralow, a partner in a popular bar in Bloomington-Normal; Scott Bittner, owner of a meat-processing company and owner of the twin-engine Cessna 414 that crashed; Andy Butler, a regional representative for Sprint; and Jason Jones, a senior vice president/investment officer with Secord-Jones Wealth Management Group.

New LASER Weapon Demonstration Destroys Cars



Lockheed Martin ATHENA laser weapon system defeats a truck target by disabling the engine, demonstrating its military effectiveness against enemy ground vehicles. 
(Lockheed Martin)
This is latest demonstration of a weapon used by criminals in and out of government to attack humans, and electronic devices for many years. It was alleged that Russian military used a LASER to shoot down a US satellite. They may have been used to disable civilian aircraft. But with the dumbed down media, and politicians who remain  obsessed with same sex marriage and racism, who knows? Electromagnetic pulse weapons are also used to disable automobiles.    

[From article]
In the demonstration, the 30-kilowatt fiber laser weapon was able to disable the truck’s engine. The purpose of the test was to show the company’s innovations in developing weapons technology that is more precise.
“Fiber-optics lasers are revolutionizing direct energy systems,” Keoki Jackson, Lockheed Martin’s chief technology officer, said in a statement. “We are investing in every component of the system – from the optics and beam control to the laser itself – to drive size, weight, and power efficiencies.”
ATHENA is a ground-based prototype system. In the test, the laser burnt through the engine in a just a few seconds, after being fired from over a mile away.
[. . .]
The military is already testing laser weapons. The Office of Naval Research, for example, is building a laser weapon that will be able to shoot down aerial drones.

White House Threatened To Shoot Down Israeli Jets




[From article]
The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.
According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.
The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
[. . .]
According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army's chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran's nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel's security.”
The sources added that Gantz and his commanders prepared the requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets reportedly even carried out experimental flights in Iran's airspace after they managed to break through radars.
Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast

U.S Refuses To Assist Egypt and U.A.E. Airstrikes on Libya


Egyptian President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi, right meets with Libyan parliamentary speaker Ageila Saleh Eissa in Cairo on Aug. 26, 2014. Amid fears by Libya's neighbors that it is sliding deeper into turmoil, the U.S. says Egypt and the UAE carried out airstrikes against Islamists there. 
(AP Photo/MENA)
[From article]
The United States does not support Egyptian and Emirati airstrikes against Islamist militias in Libya because the U.S. believes the crisis in Libya must be resolved politically and without outside interference, a Department of Defense spokesman said Tuesday.
Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrying out airstrikes in Libya was different from U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant forces in Iraq, Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told a briefing, because the U.S. was acting in Iraq, in a “very targeted” manner, at the request of its government.
[. . .]
Libya’s slide into anarchy has alarmed neighboring Egypt and several Gulf states, who have voiced concern that chaos there will help to spread the jihadist threat in the region. An al-Qaeda-linked group, Ansar al-Shariah, controls most of Benghazi and another Islamist faction, Fajr (“Dawn”), seized the Tripoli airport at the weekend.
Qatar, whose backing for Islamists including the Muslim Brotherhood across the region has angered its Gulf neighbors, has funneled support to the Islamists in Libya.
Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are believed to be supporting a former Gaddafi-regime chief of staff, Gen. Khalifa Hifter, who early this year declared war on the Islamist militias. The Islamists have accused him of being an “American agent,”

The North Carolina CEO who is believed to have been piloting his private jet when it came down on a Washington D.C. suburb killing a mother and her two young sons had crashed a plane in March, 2010, on the same approach.
According to a government official who asked not to be named, Dr. Michael K. Rosenberg missed the runway on his approach to Montgomery County Airpark near to Gaithersburg and crashed his propeller-powered plane into trees.
No one was seriously hurt during that crash but on Monday, Marie Gemmell lost her life shielding her six-week old son, Devin and three-year-old boy, Cole, from the fireball that engulfed her home when Rosenberg's plane crash landed.
