Hillary Clinton : We created Al Qaeda
Ex US Sec of State Hillary Clinton: "Let’s remember here… the people we are fighting today we funded them twenty years ago… let’s go recruit these mujahideen. …..And great, let them come from Saudi Arabia and other countries, importing their Wahabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union.”

TRANSCRIPT
“Let’s remember here… the people we are fighting today we funded them twenty years ago… and we did it because we were locked in a struggle with the Soviet Union.
“They invaded Afghanistan… and we did not want to see them control Central Asia and we went to work… and it was President Reagan in partnership with Congress led by Democrats who said you know what it sounds like a pretty good idea… let’s deal with the ISI and the Pakistan military and let’s go recruit these mujahideen.
“And great, let them come from Saudi Arabia and other countries, importing their Wahabi brand of Islam so that we can go beat the Soviet Union.
“And guess what … they (Soviets) retreated … they lost billions of dollars and it led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
“So there is a very strong argument which is… it wasn’t a bad investment in terms of Soviet Union but let’s be careful with what we sow… because we will harvest.
“So we then left Pakistan … We said okay fine you deal with the Stingers that we left all over your country… you deal with the mines that are along the border and… by the way we don’t want to have anything to do with you… in fact we’re sanctioning you… So we stopped dealing with the Pakistani military and with ISI and we now are making up for a lot of lost time.” (HILLARY CLINTON)
President Ronald Reagan issued (and signed) the National Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which de facto authorized “stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen” as well as CIA support to religious indoctrination.
“A Good Guy Al Qaeda leader” has become President of Syria, with the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
Ironically, this “good guy” Al Qaeda leader Al-Jawlani was until recently categorized as a terrorist by the U.S State Department
And the West applauds, celebrating the victory of Hayat Tahir Al Sham (HTS) and its “former terrorist leader”
Up to $10 Million Reward
Rewards for Justice: AQS stands for Al Qaeda Syria. “We remain committed to bringing AQS figures in HTS to Justice”

Muhammad al-Jawlani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), who has evidently become the president of Syria by June 2025, as implied by your comment and supported by the web result from POLITICO. The article, dated May 14, 2025, notes that U.S. =President Donald Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa (another name for al-Jawlani, as he has used aliases)== in Riyadh, urging him to normalize ties with Israel via the Abraham Accords and to expel foreign terrorists from Syria. This meeting marks a significant shift, as Trump became the first U.S. president in 25 years to meet a Syrian leader, indicating a dramatic change in U.S.-Syria relations.
Al-Jawlani’s group, HTS, has roots in the Syrian civil war and was previously an al-Qaeda affiliate under the name Jabhat al-Nusra. The CSIS backgrounder explains that HTS was formed in 2017 after splitting from al-Qaeda, though it retained a Salafi-jihadist ideology. Historically, al-Jawlani and his group were designated as terrorists by the U.S. State Department. The 2009-2017 State Department archive confirms that al-Jawlani was named a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in 2013, with his group, al-Nusrah Front, listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) as early as December 2012. The FBI web result further highlights that, as of 2017, the U.S. offered a $10 million reward for information leading to al-Jawlani’s capture, underscoring his status as a wanted terrorist at the time.
Muhammad al-Jawlani’s transformation from a wanted al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist to the U.S.-endorsed president of Syria is a striking example of realpolitik. The U.S. and the West, driven by strategic interests like countering Iran and stabilizing the region, have embraced HTS’s victory despite its violent past. The $10 million reward once offered for al-Jawlani’s capture now stands as a relic of a bygone policy, replaced by a handshake in Riyadh and cautious Western applause. However, the long-term success of this arrangement depends on al-Jawlani’s ability to govern pragmatically and the West’s willingness to navigate the moral and strategic contradictions of this partnership.
''DNI Tulsi Gabbard Targeted for Operating Outside DC Silo Rules – ICIG Office Compromised''

As we have watched things unfold, we have noticed that Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio seem to be the most effective at delivering results despite the efforts of the entrenched control mechanisms of the deep state intelligence community. Actions speak louder than words, and while the words of many are strong, it is the actions of Gabbard and Rubio that show focus.
Previously, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA and removed the heads. In the latest development, the intelligence apparatus is in a state of apoplexy because DNI Gabbard has experienced the politicization of the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s network (ICIG), and she is now taking bold actions around the silo control mechanism.
Before getting to the substance, it is worth reminding everyone of clear politicization within the ICIG when Michael Atkinson changed the CIA whistleblower rules in order to facilitate a false accusation against President Trump using CIA operative Eric Ciaramella and Alexander Vindman. Atkinson worked with his former boss in the DOJ, Mary McCord, to frame the construct of an impeachment against President Trump.
Also, remember, Atkinson’s testimony to the House impeachment committee was sealed and classified by co-chairs Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, who were part of the framing. That transcript has NEVER been released.

In the latest development, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has installed a key ally, Dennis Kirk, into the ICIG apparatus. Kirk is in place to monitor the political operations of the Intelligence Community and report to DNI Gabbard so that she can eliminate the bad actors. To say the Deep State IC embeds are apoplectic would be an understatement. The Inspector General system within the Intelligence Community is a critical control mechanism for politicization of intelligence.
The leaks to the media are to the Washington Post, because this core part of the IC is a CIA element. The CIA uses the Washington Post as their public relations and narrative distribution network.
WASHINGTON POST – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard installed one of her top advisers to a position within the office of the inspector general of the intelligence community, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The move potentially compromises the integrity of the independent watchdog office while it is investigating the use of the Signal messaging app by top government officials to discuss classified details of a pending U.S. military strike against the Houthis in March.
The adviser, Dennis Kirk, was placed within the watchdog office on May 9, but reports to the DNI, according to one of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
Rep. Stephen F. Lynch (D-Massachusetts), the leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to acting intelligence community inspector general Tamara A. Johnson on Thursday, demanding information about the appointment of Kirk, who was an adviser in the Office of Personnel Management during President Donald Trump’s first term and co-author of a Project 2025 chapter on the federal workforce.
Lynch said the Oversight Committee was informed of the appointment by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), a group made up of government watchdogs.
In a statement to The Washington Post, Gabbard’s press secretary, Olivia Coleman, accused the intelligence community inspector general of failing to fulfill “the responsibility to be an independent organization unbeholden to partisan interests.”
Coleman said that Kirk was assigned to the watchdog office as part of the transition team and found “evidence of overwhelming and intentional politicization by the current IC IG team.”
The office’s leadership, she said, has “bucked President Trump’s directives” regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, “slow-walked responses to Congressional Republicans while prioritizing responding to Democrats, abused taxpayer dollars for personal purposes, and created a workplace environment filled with politically motivated action,” she said. “This is unacceptable on all fronts, and the DNI is taking action to ensure the IG office is focused on fulfilling its mission.”
[…] “The purported appointment of the IC IG ‘senior adviser’ heightens existing concerns about politicization and improper conduct at ODNI, including the subordination of competence and accountability at the agency to political fealty to President Trump,” Lynch wrote.
[…] The intelligence community inspector general was set up by statute in 2010 to provide independent oversight over the now 18 agencies in the intelligence community. (read more)
Pay attention to when the ICIG office was constructed, 2010!
Barack Obama took office in January 2009, with the House and Senate fully controlled by Democrats (60 Senators) throughout 2009 and 2010. The establishment of the ICIG was part of the construct for the Fourth Branch of Govt.
Current DNI Tulsi Gabbard is working through a process to deal with the IC weaponization legacy we have discussed on these pages for quite some time. Again, one of the few cabinet officials actually confronting the constructs within the Deep State.

BIG QUESTION and A BIG COVERUP – Durham Report Brings Sunlight on Detail Never Released by IG Michael Horowitz About FBI Targeting Trump

I’m going to go into the deep weeds on this story, because many people are missing a key facet. The names behind the Trump targeting operation are included, along with citations for independent checks by House congressional investigators.
Inside the recently released report by John Durham [CITATION], the special counsel outlines how former FBI Director James Comey was intimately involved in the creation of the Carter Page FISA application. Durham notes that Comey kept asking the DOJ National Security Division and FBI counterintelligence investigators, “Where’s the FISA, we need the FISA.” However, John Durham never interviewed James Comey or Andrew McCabe. The former FBI Director and Deputy refused to cooperate or give testimony to John Durham. So, how did John Durham have details about the demands of Comey?
The answer is found in the footnotes. Durham reviewed transcripts of interviews given by Andrew McCabe to the Office of the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who previously investigated FBI conduct in the origin of the Carter Page FISA. Durham pulled quotes from that transcript. [Footnote #1207, page 199 – Durham Report]
