OUTRAGEOUS: The FBI Is Renting Billboards Around the Country To Pervert Reality and Promote Democrat Lies that President Trump and His Supporters Are Violent

FBI Billboards are everywhere. The corrupt FBI is advertising across the nation on billboards requesting information on individuals who attended the Capitol protests on January 6th. By doing so they promote the lie that Trump and his supporters are violent.

The FBI is so corrupt now it really needs to be shut down and rebuilt from the bottom up. The individuals leading this agency are not honest and often participate in criminal acts themselves (see Mueller Russia Collusion sham). So it is no surprise that this corrupt agency is advertising on billboards across the country insinuating the Capital protests a few weeks ago the most egregious act since 9-11. They do this by advertising the event. Something we have never seen before from this corrupt agency

The above billboard was in Florida. Others have been reported across the country. Syracuse. com reports:

The FBI has put up a billboard on Interstate 690 near Syracuse as part of a national campaign to identify those involved in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

The billboard, which went up Friday near the interchange of I-690 and the New York State Thruway in the town of Geddes, asks passing motorists to call or leave an online tip identifying people who participated in the insurrection that resulted in five deaths.

What the above report does not tell you is that one policeman who is included in the death count at the Capitol died the next day of natural causes. The remaining individuals were innocent Trump supporters who we still don’t have much information on how they died. One Trump supporter was shot dead by a Capitol policeman whose name has remained hidden. This is believed to be because of his suspected prior allegiances to BLM.

Instead of investigating how the individuals died during the event, of why the Mayor of DC didn’t call for more help ahead of time, the FBI is producing billboards sharing Democrat talking points that Trump and his supporters are violent. This is despite ample evidence that the violent actions on January 6th in DC were committed by Antifa goons who inserted themselves in the event.

The FBI will never report this. They to date haven’t investigated much related to BLM or Antifa for the billions in losses and multiple deaths in 2020 related to their riots.

The FBI is a broken agency and it shows when it resorts to advertising lies insinuating President Trump and his followers are violent while Hillary, BLM and Antifa are given a pass.

Get ready for four years of vomit-inducing media fawning as our ‘brave’ journalists transform into PR agents for President Biden

Joe Biden is a swamp creature to his core, but to mainstream pundits, his arrival in Washington is akin to the second coming of Christ. The sycophancy is pathetic, but it’ll soon get dangerous when Joe actually starts to govern.

The return of a clapped-out career politician to the White House has the mainstream media squealing with delight. Their liberal bias hasn’t exactly been a secret these last four years (“fiery but mostly peaceful” Black Lives Matter protests vs. the “extremist insurrection” on Capitol Hill being the latest example), but their outpouring of emotion over Biden’s inauguration would make even a North Korean news anchor blush.

This is so f*cking cringe even for CNN."Those lights that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial, along the reflecting pool, it’s almost like extensions of Joe Biden’s arms embracing America.” pic.twitter.com/WITMcEeDLO

“Those lights that are just shooting out from the Lincoln Memorial, along the reflecting pool, it’s almost like extensions of Joe Biden’s arms embracing America,” CNN political director David Chalian gushed on Tuesday, describing a pre-inauguration Covid-19 remembrance ceremony attended by the incoming president.

MSNBC commentator Eddie Glaude went a step further, comparing Biden to God himself. Quoting Psalm 147:3, Glaude declared that Biden “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

“Let the healing begin,” CNN’s Shimon Procupecz tweeted, as Biden departed Delaware for Washington, adding “we have needed this.” New York Times editor Lauren Wolfe described feeling “chills” as old Joe touched down at Joint Base Andrews later that afternoon.

Reporters who weren’t openly professing their devotion to Joe were busy holding the new administration to account with hard-hitting journalism: by probing Kamala Harris’ choice of shoes, Joe Biden’s love of ice cream (tell us which flavor you got Joe!), and the new administration’s inauguration party playlist.

We get it. It’s embarrassing as hell. But we get it. You spent four years howling at Trump, calling him every name under the sun and lurching from one jumped-up scandal to the next. Russia. Impeachment. Pussy-grabbing and travel bans. You’ve worked extra hard to hold Trump’s feet to the fire every single day, and you deserve a vacation.

The last 4 plus years have been like living in a fever dream. I look forward to some calm and boring news.

Biden’s cheerleaders can be forgiven their victory lap on inauguration day. But Biden will be in charge for four years. If the media can’t be bothered to hound him like they did Trump, his administration will have carte blanche to impose whatever agenda it wants, while the press returns to its Obama-era cooing and mooing. How many Americans think Barack Obama’s tenure was “scandal free” despite seven foreign wars, the crushing of whistleblowers, gun-running and political spying? A significant number likely still do because the media was willingly asleep at the wheel for eight years.

And that’s the optimistic take. An infinitely more dangerous –and equally realistic– prediction is that the media will become a PR shop for the national security state.

Make no mistake about it, domestic repression is coming. The Capitol Hill riot has been milked for all its worth. Those who took part in what essentially was a goofy game of right-wing dress-up have been labeled “domestic terrorists” by Biden, with the mainstream media extending that description to Trump’s supporters as a whole. Trump’s 75 million voters have been described in the media as ”white supremacists” and “cult members” who need to be “deprogrammed” and placed in “re-education camps,” while the MAGA movement itself has been painted as a cancer that needs to be “cleansed” from public life.

Media Literally Compares Biden to God, Whitewashing New Face of US Police State & War Machine

January 20, 2021 was a historic day for Americans. It marked the day that Joseph Robinette Biden was sworn in as President, ridding the planet of orange man bad once and for all and restoring hope in the land of the free. All problems will be solved, debts forgiven, pandemics cured and a glorious heaven on Earth will flourish in the wake of the inauguration….or so the mainstream media says, almost verbatim.

In stark contrast to how the media portrayed Donald Trump as a reincarnation of Hitler, Joe Biden — a career politician, segregationist, police state worshiping warmonger — is receiving a warm embrace by our alleged non-partisan mainstream media.

As the newly elected racially diverse gift to the prison industrial complex duo assumes their respective thrones in the nation’s capitol, they can take solace in the fact that the mainstream media will be salivating over them as they take the torch from Trump and continue America’s worst policies.

The new face of the fascist American war machine has shifted from an R-rated orange baby and his sycophant dogmatic underling to a G-rated biracial team of woke warriors, ready to fulfil their roles by dropping hellfire missiles on hospitals and brown children from drones painted with BLM and LGBTQ flags.

To maintain the façade of perceived differences between the two parties, the leftist establishment media is already going to great lengths to paint Biden as America’s savior — quite literally.

MSNBC’s Eddie Glaude took a break this week while blaming Trump supporters for the 400,000 dead from COVID-19 and broke out in tears, literally comparing the new dynamic duo to God, citing Psalm 147:3.

“I’m thinking about all those folks who, just for a moment, the nation shared their grief,” Glaude said though crocodile tears. “Oh, what a first step. What a beautiful step.”

“I’m reminded of the Psalmist, you know, ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds,’” Glaude said of his new messiah.

But that’s not all.

After MSNBC compared Biden to God, CNN did it too, claiming the lights around the reflecting pool for the COVID-19 victim memorial were like “extensions of Joe Biden’s arms embracing America.”

Make no mistake, when mainstream media repeats this rubbish propaganda enough times, Boobus Americanus will start to believe it. Most Americans will go back to sleep and continue to unquestioningly support the US government’s worst and most murderous foreign policies.

When the corporate press says “things will be different under a Biden presidency” rest assured that what they really mean is “we will be different under a Biden presidency,” and it has already started.

This was the exact play by the corporate media under Trump’s presidency as well, except the leftist media roasted the president every chance they got instead of worshiping him. Though the two approaches use opposite tactics, the result is the same — distracted Americans argue over irrelevant talking points while they continue to get dumbed down, sent off to wars, poorer, and less free.

Biden Administration Will ‘Thoroughly Assess’ US-Taliban Deal

Trump left the Biden administration 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, deal calls for full US pull-out by Spring 2021

Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, said at a Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday that the new administration will “thoroughly assess” the US-Taliban peace deal that was signed in February 2020.

The deal calls for a full US withdrawal from Afghanistan by the Spring of this year. The Trump administration left 2,500 troops and over 18,000 Pentagon contractors in the country for the Biden administration.

“We have to look carefully at what has actually been negotiated. I haven’t been privy to it yet,” Blinken said. “We must thoroughly assess the US-Taliban peace agreement, I still do not know the details of this agreement.”

The details of the deal that have been released to the public call for intra-Afghan talks between the US-backed government and the Taliban. The talks have been struggling but are still taking place in Doha. The Taliban also agreed to not allow groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS from gaining a foothold in Afghanistan, and pledged not to attack US forces.

It’s not clear if President Biden will go through with the complete withdrawal, and there are excuses he could find to stay, like the struggling talks and ongoing violence. He has previously said that he favors leaving a small counterterrorism force in Afghanistan, something Blinken hinted at in his comments.

“We want to end this so-called forever war. We want to bring our forces home. We want to retain some capacity to deal with any resurgence of terrorism, which is what brought us there in the first place,” Blinken said.

US, UK Sign Agreement to Merge Forces for Historic Joint Carrier Deployment

Top U.S. and United Kingdom defense officials signed an agreement this week to merge some military forces in 2021 to form a combined carrier strike group.

Marine Corps F-35B Joint Strike Fighter aircraft and the Navy destroyer The Sullivans will deploy as part of the strike group, former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller announced Monday. The U.K.-U.S. combined strike group will be led by the U.K. aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth.

The agreement was signed by Miller and U.K. Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace. The strike group is scheduled to sail out of Portsmouth, U.K., later this year.

"This deployment underscores the strength of our bilateral ties and demonstrates U.S.-U.K. interoperability, both of which are key tenets of the U.S. National Defense Strategy," the Pentagon's announcement on the agreement states.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in November that the task force will operate in the Mediterranean Sea, Indian Ocean and East Asia.

"Next year, HMS Queen Elizabeth will lead a British and allied task group on our most ambitious deployment for two decades," he said. "… We shall forward-deploy more of our naval assets in the world's most important regions, protecting the shipping lanes that supply our nation."

Ten Marine F-35B Lightning II fighter jets embarked on the Queen Elizabeth in September as part of a training deployment. The embark was in preparation for this year's full-length deployment, Marine officials said last year.

Lt. Gen. Steven Rudder, the former head of Marine Corps aviation, said in 2019 that the F-35 embark would serve as a "new norm" for how the U.S. will conduct operations with maritime partners.

Wallace said the deployment embodies the strength of bilateral ties between the U.S. and U.K., and reflects the depth of the vital defense and security partnership.

"I am delighted that the U.K. now possesses a 21st-century carrier strike capability, which has been greatly assisted by the unswerving support and cooperation of the United States at all levels over the past decade," he said.

Commanding Officer of Navy Reserve Center Fired After Investigation

The commanding officer of a Navy operational support center in Tennessee was removed from his job on Wednesday after officials lost confidence in his ability to lead.

Capt. Scott Moss, who led the NOSC in Knoxville, was relieved of command by Capt. Dale Maxey, the head of the Navy's Reserve Component Command Southeast Jacksonville, the service announced on Wednesday. Moss the subject of an investigation following an inspector general complaint, Cmdr. Ben Tisdale, a spokesman for Navy Reserve Force, said.

"The Navy Reserve has taken appropriate corrective actions to pursue accountability," he added. "Due to privacy concerns, it would be inappropriate to provide further information on the particulars of the investigation."

The Navy Operational Support Centers around the country are typically responsible for handling training and administrative requirements for reservists and hosting on-site drill periods. They also support families of deployed reservists supporting military operations worldwide.

Moss declined a request for comment through his former command. He has been temporarily reassigned to Reserve Component Command Southeast Jacksonville.

Cmdr. Timothy Trimble has temporarily assumed command of the Knoxville NOSC until a permanent relief is assigned, officials said on Wednesday.

No one else was removed from their positions over the investigation into Moss, Tisdale said.

Moss was commissioned in 1998 as a naval flight officer. He reached the rank of captain in September and reported to the NOSC in Knoxville in July 2019.

He served with several fleet air reconnaissance squadrons before reporting to Navy Personnel Command in Tennessee ahead of his Knoxville assignment.

World’s largest Holocaust memorial planned for Ukraine’s Babyn Yar ravine

Covering 370 acres, site of central ‘Holocaust by bullets’ massacre will become one of world’s largest commemorations for Jewish genocide

Reversing plans to build one central museum at the site of the Holocaust’s largest open-air massacre, the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center (BYHMC) announced plans on January 21 to construct 12 buildings across 370-acres of the filled-in Kyiv ravine where over 100,000 people were slaughtered during World War II.

On September 29 and 30, 1941, German Nazis and Ukrainian collaborators murdered 33,771 Jews at “Grandmother’s Ravine” on the edge of Ukraine’s capital. An additional 70,000 people were murdered at Babyn Yar during the next three years, including Jews, Ukrainian resisters, Roma, and disabled people.

“Currently, there are far too many people unaware of the nature of the place,” BYHMC artistic director Ilya Khrzhanovsky told The Times of Israel. “If you visit Babyn Yar today, you will see families relaxing and playing as if it were a regular park.”

Biden Obliterates Women’s Sports, Reinstates Rule Allowing Transgender Students to Use Bathrooms According to Gender Identity on Day One of His Presidency

Joe Biden obliterated women’s sports on the first day of his presidency.

Biden also reinstated the rule allowing transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms according to their “gender identity.”

In other words, a biological male can now waltz into a bathroom and locker room to watch your teenage daughter change into gym clothes.

Any learning institution that receives federal funding must admit biological males to women’s teams, women’s scholarships etc.

Trump revoked an Obama-era rule that extended Title IX protections to transgenders and pervert Biden’s priority was to reverse it his first day in office.

Section 1. Policy. Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports. Adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based stereotypes. People should be able to access healthcare and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination. All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Sec. 2. Enforcing Prohibitions on Sex Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation. (a) The head of each agency shall, as soon as practicable and in consultation with the Attorney General, as appropriate, review all existing orders, regulations, guidance documents, policies, programs, or other agency actions (“agency actions”) that:

(i) were promulgated or are administered by the agency under Title VII or any other statute or regulation that prohibits sex discrimination, including any that relate to the agency’s own compliance with such statutes or regulations; and

Biological males who identify as females can now compete in women’s sports.

Transgender athletes have completely destroyed women’s sports and robbed young girls of a chance to compete fairly.

Labor Pick Paid Biden-Linked Firm Tens of Thousands Prior to Nomination

Boston's Marty Walsh has paid Anita Dunn's firm $90k since September

Months before President Joe Biden tapped Boston mayor Marty Walsh to head the Department of Labor, Walsh began using campaign funds to make large payments to the D.C. consulting firm founded by top Biden adviser Anita Dunn.

Walsh's campaign first paid Dunn's firm, Democratic communications giant SKDKnickerbocker, $18,000 in early September in "consulting" fees. Just one day after receiving Walsh's payment, Dunn—who led Biden's presidential campaign and serves as SKDK's managing director—joined the Biden transition team as one of four national co-chairs.

Walsh went on to send SKDK an additional $72,000 in consulting fees over a three-month span, with the most recent $18,000 payment coming in late December. Just two weeks later, Biden chose Walsh to lead the Department of Labor. Biden then selected Dunn to serve as a senior White House adviser one week after Walsh's nomination.

This is not the first time SKDK has taken lucrative payments from a state official looking to cozy up to national Democrats ahead of a career-advancing appointment. Former California secretary of state Alex Padilla awarded the firm a $35 million no-bid contract in August and fought to pay out the deal when the state's chief fiscal officer refused to approve it. California governor Gavin Newsom (D.) picked Padilla to fill Vice President Kamala Harris's Senate seat in December.

Walsh's payments were a rarity for SKDK, which does not often work in Massachusetts state politics. Walsh had never previously employed the firm and became the first state politician to do so in nearly two years. The Democrat in October told the Boston Herald that he hired SKDK to "prepare for what is ahead for 2021" while he "fully engaged in City Hall work." Walsh had not declared his intention to seek a third mayoral term in November 2021 at the time. His SKDK disbursements were his largest to a single vendor during the months of September, November, and December—Walsh paid just one other out-of-state vendor over those three months.

The Biden administration did not return a request for comment. An SKDK spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon the firm is "proud to have provided strategic consulting and communications support to Marty Walsh's reelection campaign for Mayor of Boston," adding that Dunn "was on leave from the firm when Mayor Walsh hired SKDK and did not not work on the campaign at any point."

Fauci Announces the US Will Rejoin the World Health Organization, Promises to Give Them Our Money

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is now serving as Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, announced that the president has reversed the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization.

Fauci will be leading the U.S. delegation.

“I am honored to announce that the United States will remain a member of the World Health Organization,” Fauci told a virtual meeting of the WHO.

“The United States also intends to fulfil its financial obligations to the organization,” he added.

FBI feared foreign power was targeting money to Clinton before 2016 campaign, memos show

Bureau delayed FISA warrant and instead gave candidate defensive briefing, in stark contrast to Trump, declassified memos show.

FBI agents opened an investigation in late 2014 into a foreign power's effort to curry influence with Hillary Clinton's prospective presidential campaign through donations, but the bureau's leadership slow-walked a surveillance warrant and instead arranged for the candidate to get a defensive briefing, newly declassified memos show.

FBI agents became so frustrated that they were being stonewalled from securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to investigate the foreign money plot that they even escalated to then-FBI Director James Comey, according to the memos declassified by President Trump on Tuesday night and obtained by Just the News.

"The FISA application has remained in limbo for the last four months, even though subsequent investigative activity by [redacted] provided additional probable cause for the FISA application," an FBI employee wrote Comey in an April 14, 2015 email in which he expressed concern he was "overstepping" his chain of command by raising his concerns.

That email stated the FBI field office leading the probe was "still uncertain as to why the application has not been sent to DOJ for final approval although several reasons have been put forth by CD [Criminal Division], most recently that the decision to put the application on hold originated 'on the seventh floor.'"

The seventh floor of the FBI headquarters is where the FBI director and his team have their offices and is a common reference among field agents to the FBI's management team.

Comey wrote back to the agent, "Don't know anything about this but will get smarter."

You can read the memos here.

File

ClintonDefensiveBriefing.pdf

The memos don't offer any further evidence that a FISA warrant was ever approved. Instead, they show that FBI leadership ultimately decided to give Clinton's team a defensive briefing in October 2015 as her presidential campaign geared up. The briefing was given to her legal team led by David Kendall and Katherine Turner, the memos show.

"Kendall and Turner were advised the FBI was providing them with this briefing for awareness and so Ms. Clinton could take appropriate action to protect herself," a summary memo stated. "They were also told the FBI was seeking their assistance to identify other appropriate recipients of the brief, if any."

The Clinton lawyers were told "the campaign should increase its vigilance of contributions related to any of the matters discussed above."

Reached by phone on Wednesday, Kendall declined comment.

The memos redact the name of the foreign country that was suspected of seeking the influence as well as the FBI field office that led the probe. But they do make clear the plot involved "foreign aid money that might be contributed to her campaign should/when she announce(s) her run for POTUS." The memos indicate there was no evidence Clinton herself was aware of the plot.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham Turned Looting Of Humanitarian Aid To Displaced Civilians Into Profitable Business

Officials of the Humanitarian Camp Management in Idlib affiliated with the Al-Nusra Front (currently known as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham), are involved in corruption, bribery and theft of UN aid, according to private sources. This situation undermines the humanitarian situation and further and increases the suffering of displaced civilians.

The sources said that the Al-Nusra-run Camp Administration is the main distributor of relief aid to camps. It demands from officials from local councils to hand over a part of the aid to Al-Nusra officials.

In particular, sources revealed that camps in the town of Mashhad Rouheen affiliated in the area of Deir Hassan north of Idlib, recently received an aid in the form of financial vouchers ($150 each). The head of the local council in the city of Maarat al-Nu`man, which includes Deir Hassan , had to pay $30 for each voucher to Al-Nusra.

Camps involved in these corruption schemes receive continuous relief support, while neighboring camps live in difficult humanitarian conditions. People lack even minimal necessities of life such as water and bread.

There are public commercial stores that sell UN aid and relief aid in Idlib. Sources confirmed that the aid trade has become a permanent source of revenue for the Al-Nusra terrorist group, amid the continued suffering of displaced civilians in camps and their denial of access to any real assistance.

Hong Kong Arrests 7 for Alleged Role in $813 Million Money Laundering Case

Hong Kong police arrested seven former bankers on Tuesday who were allegedly responsible for laundering US$813 million of illicit funds into numerous local banks, the Commercial Crime Bureau confirmed to OCCRP in an emailed statement.

Hong Kong SkylineThe metropolitan area Hong Kong, home to 7.5 million residents (Photo:Benh LIEU SONG, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons)As part of a sweeping operation known as “Overcloud,” the financial crimes unit of Hong Kong’s police force said they believed that they had “successfully dismantled a transnational economic crime syndicate,” and that had not ruled out the possibility of future arrests.

According to their emailed statement, the arrested individuals – five men and two women in their mid thirties – are suspected of receiving payments in exchange for helping 16 mainland Chinese and foreign criminals open up 14 company accounts at a series of local banks, which were not disclosed to OCCRP.

Police said that nearly half a billion dollars was allegedly laundered through just one account between 2018 and 2019.

They also said that they seized a number of computers, mobile phones, bank records and company documents, along with over a million dollars in cash at a public housing unit where one of the arrested suspects lived.

If convicted, the accused money launderers could face a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail, along with a several hundred thousand dollar fine, the police said, adding that they encouraged the general public to avoid handling money from any unknown sources in order to avoid a similar fate.

Chu Kin-wah, a senior police inspector said at a press conference that the money “was transferred into Hong Kong from all over the world including Italy, Vietnam and Germany, the South China Morning Post reported.

Jodi Vittori, Research and Policy Manager at Transparency International Defense and Security, responded to the news on Twitter, saying that Hong Kong is “often overshadowed by more famous money laundering hubs like Dubai, the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, the U.S. and the U.K.,” but that it remains a leader for attracting illicit financial proceeds.

Hong Kong ranks fourth in the world on the Tax Justice Network’s Financial Secrecy Index and tenth on its Corporate Tax Haven Index.

Niger ‘scandal of the century’ exposed in FinCEN Files sparks lawsuit demanding action

Publisher Moussa Aksar was targeted as his reporting on millions in disappearing defense spending was submitted in a request to force a government inquiry.

English front companies allegedly siphoned millions of dollars from Niger, one of the world’s poorest countries, in a military procurement scandal that has engulfed the country and sparked lawsuits.

Last year, journalists in Niger obtained a confidential audit from the country’s ministry of defense that alleged up to $120 million in defense spending had disappeared from the West African country, often into tax havens and bank accounts controlled by unknown owners.

The newspaper L’Evenement obtained a copy of the audit and revealed that two companies, Halltown Business LLP and Stretfield Development LLP, signed a $2 million agreement for two aging Ukrainian helicopters. L’Evenement’s publisher Moussa Aksar, matched details of the audit with bank records that formed the basis of the FinCEN Files investigation. Aksar is a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Last month, four Niger-based civil society organizations filed paperwork in court in the capital, Namey, to force the government to open an inquiry into corruption, forgery, and other crimes. As part of the case file, the organizations submitted the L’Evenement’s FinCEN Files investigation.

Never before have so many millions disappeared from state coffers involving senior administration officials and private operators.

— Ali Idrissa, Network of Organisations for Transparency and Budgetary Analysis

According to the Niger audit, the two companies signed a deal in July 2012 worth $2 million. “This apparent contract…was in reality subject to a secret contract of commissions, that is to say, kickbacks,” officials wrote. “This is contrary to regulations and constitutes a collusive maneuver having allowed the withdrawal from the state of $2,000,000.”

The audit alleges that $120 million was lost between 2017 and 2019 through false contracts, much of it going to shell companies, according to L’Evenement.

The FinCEN Files documents show that one company, Halltown Business LLP, received $30,000 in exchange “for textiles” just weeks after it signed the deal to provide helicopters to Niger. The payment, from a Romanian company, passed through Deutsche Bank before reaching Halltown’s Latvian bank account, according to FinCEN Files documents. Halltown Business received another $12,000 in April 2015, leaked FinCEN records show.

The discrepancy between Halltown Businesses’ apparent deals – textiles and military equipment – was one of several red flags that signal possible financial crime, experts told ICIJ.

‘President’ Pedo Biden Declares Little Girls Have To Share Their Bathrooms With Boys

Woo-Hoo! Biden Kills Off an Estimated 52,100 Jobs in First Day as President — During a Pandemic!

On his first day in office Joe Biden killed off an estimated 52,100 American jobs.

That must be a record, right?

After his bizarre inaugural behind fences and 20,000 military troops, Biden hobbled to the Oval Officer were he signed several executive orders including the end of construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and the end of construction of the Trump border wall.

Canceling the Keystone Pipeline costs over 11,000 construction jobs and 42,100 jobs throughout the US during the construction process according to the US State Department.

Canceling the Trump border wall will cost 10,000 jobs.

That’s a total of 52,100 jobs lost in his first 8 hours in office.

Nice work, Joe!

With the stroke of a pen, Biden has put 11,000 jobs and over $1.6 billion in wages on the chopping block. The kicker, the pipeline’s developer has pledged that the project would have zero carbon emissions.

Indeed, union leaders are already calling out Biden for the loss of good-paying union jobs…

Mark McManus, General President of the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters : “In revoking this permit, the Biden Administration has chosen to listen to the voices of fringe activists instead of union members and the American consumer on Day 1. Let me be very clear: When built with union labor by the men and women of the United Association, pipelines like Keystone XL remain the safest and most efficient modes of energy transportation in the world. Sadly, the Biden Administration has now put thousands of union workers out of work. For the average American family, it means energy costs will go up and communities will no longer see the local investments that come with pipeline construction”

Joe Biden also ceased construction of the Trump border wall. This is on his first day and at the same time that more illegal alien caravans are seen working their way to the US.

Conservative estimates suggest the border wall created over 10,000 jobs.
