Mosul – The city General Petraeus cleaned up and used as the model  for how to deal with counter insurgency – Has fallen.

“Mosul now is like hell. It’s up in flames,” said Amina Ibrahim, who like many others was heading for northern Iraq’s more stable Kurdish-controlled zone. “I lost my husband in a bomb blast last year, I don’t want my kids to follow him.”

IRAQ – Militants storm northern city of Mosul, freeing thousands of prisoners, as Iraqi prime minister declares state of emergency and offers to arm citizens who volunteer to fight against militants Al-Qaeda seized control of Iraq’s third biggest city on Tuesday, freeing thousands of imprisoned fellow fighters in a series of jailbreaks and sparking a mass exodus of refugees.

The assault on the city of Mosul, 225 miles north west of Baghdad, saw the Iraqi army retreat to the outskirts after a sustained assault by men armed with heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. As well as seizing the main governorate building – forcing the city’s governor to flee – the gunmen were also reported to have gained control of three different jails, numerous police stations and an airport, where several military planes and helicopters were based.

What Mrs. Clinton neglected to point out was that a majority of their legal debts were paid for by a Legal Defense Fund, which brought in more than $8 million by early 2001, leaving only about $4 million in debts for the Clintons themselves — a figure about half of the $8 million book advance she had already secured before leaving office.  (link)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that she and former President Bill Clinton “fully appreciate how hard life is for so many Americans,” seeking to refine remarks she made about the pair being “dead broke” when they left the White House.

At the same time, the former secretary of state dropped another hint that she might be leaning toward a second run for the presidency. Clinton said that she and her husband have “gone through some of the same challenges that many people have” and that they “understand what that struggle is.”

In an interview on the day her book “Hard Choices” was being released, Clinton told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that she and her husband left the White House roughly $12 million in debt at the end of his second term in early 2001. But she also acknowledged that “we’ve continued to be blessed in the last 14 years.” (more…)

Hillary “I haven’t driven a car since 1996” Clinton, proclaims poverty and desperation as a connection to the average American.

Because we all know what it’s like to hold multiple mortgages on million dollar mansions. while paying for private college tuition for a silver spooner, right?

How blatant are the lies ?  Lies so blatant, brutal and transparent that even Andrea Mitchell can’t allow them to go unchallenged.

Some interesting dynamics at play, exposing a myriad of issues:

I’d like to draw attention to a specific moment @2:03 of this video when Andrea Mitchell accidently lets slip that the content of this interview was previously constructed and agreed upon.    The collusion of media and administration reflected.

The sum of the interview is so fraught with obvious administration lies and misinformation it’s a case study in modern 2014 propaganda. (more…)

Against the backdrop of a new media report of SEVERE INTIMIDATION from the White House toward Bergdahl’s squad, and even Pentagon officials, we think it is important to remind you what extents this White House will go to when they are at risk of exposure.  

There is a real danger when your discussions become considered risks.  However, sunlight is not only the best disinfectant, it’s also the best protection.

Go BIG, go LOUD and perhaps you can stay safe…..

Perhaps this one of the most important discussion threads ever regarding Legacy Media manipulation.

We sincerely hope you will take the time to digest the content, think about the ramifications to what is here, and then share the information with others.

What you are about to read is not a subjective matter of opinion, the CNN stories are documented, attributed and cited. They are factual. Everything is verifiable within the embedded links and citations.

We have previously shared information which came to light as part of a CNN reporter, Amber Lyon, leaving the media conglomerate.

However, before getting to the CNN Amber Lyon expose’ (which is incredible and troubling) let’s first back up a moment and take you back to a previous video we shared a few years ago surrounding events in Libya, Egypt and the attack on the U.S. Benghazi compound of 9/11/2012. (more…)

The polling was done to create a narrative against the backdrop of her week long book tour.   Rather than “interpret” the poll, we think it’s more valuable to just share it; then let y’all determine whether this poll is such a wonderful discovery for team Clinton.

Personally, I think Question #2 is quite revealing. 68% of national respondents, who self describe as “Leaning Democrat”, want someone other than Hillary in the 2016 race.

This original information appeared in 2010 as a result of the discoveries within the Wikileaks 400,000 page document dump. I’m reposting it again today because someone must keep history accurate. The information below is totally divergent from what the media writing of history proclaims. It is good to know truth, the historical truth, and not the spin placed upon us by the media machine(s). And if you ever find yourself in one of those conversations with a prog who claims “George Bush lied”, well, you can put them straight. Read on……

The WikiLeaks de facto declassification of privileged material makes it case closed: Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction — and intended to restart his program once the heat was off.

President George W. Bush, in the 2003 State of the Union address, uttered the infamous “16 words”: “The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

Former Ambassador Joe Wilson sprang into action and, in an op-ed piece, in effect wrote, “No, the Cheney administration sent me to investigate the allegation — and I found it without merit.” (more…)

One of the more comical aspects to watching Hillary Clinton say her most significant accomplishment was she “rebuilt the image of the U.S. around the world“, is the abject ridiculous nature of the proclamation.   Intelligent folk will remember the 2010 State Dept WikiLeaks controversy which led to Hillary spending the better part of the following year apologizing to every head of State for the belittlement from her staff.

Then again, there’s always THIS little nugget she likes to keep tucked under the rug.

Apparently things haven’t changed much.   Today Secretary John Kerry took to twitter to defend his peeps yet again.

Always proud of @statedeptspox; she deals in facts #attacksareabadgeofhonor

This stems from Jen Psaki being called out by the international EU community for absurd statements around Ukraine. Despite the New York Times rising to her defense, *cough* “she’s being misinterpreted” *cough*.

[Psaki] has also been criticized for using the phrase “carousel voting” to describe the alleged rigged elections in the east of Ukraine, but later admitted she did not know what the phrase meant. [Carousel voting is a term to describe the practice of bussing voters from polling station to polling station so they can vote multiple times]. Russian state TV has even coined the term “Psaking” to describe someone as stupid and incompetent, according to Buzzfeed. (link)

Actually, this lap of luxury approach might just work. If they get them used to exclusive indulgences the Taliban 5 might just get so used to it they’ll never be able to think about living in the rough rock tribal regions of Pakistan/Afghanistan ever again.
