Working on long-form post on 7th floor group members.

We've heard about them far too much to not know more about them.

Will post in sections soon.

(first of several posts to complete)

Introducing: The Seventh Floor Group

This group of people has been mentioned repeatedly. It’s time to get to know them.

Post goal: To educate anons on 7th Floor Group member names mentioned in wikispooks (copy/pasted below), by focusing only on names which are less well-researched. Therefore, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry will be omitted from this post.

Source material began with Wikipedia and expanded to other easily-available internet information for this very basic collection of profiles, intended only to be a starting point to familiarize us with these individuals. Further expansion on this information will be welcome.

Further research by other Anons requested which would expand knowledge significantly:

A. Cross-referencing with Wikileaks email dumps of previous years

B. Searching names with databases of corporate and non-profit boards of directors

1. Heather Higginbotham, Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources. From Binghamton NY. Education: Univ. of Rochester, George Washington University. Service: Dec 2013 to 2017. Husband: Daniel Alejandro Sepulveda.

Began government service in 1999, when she joined the office of then Senator John Kerry as Legislative Assistant. During her years in Senator Kerry’s staff, she handled a wide array of domestic and foreign policy issues, and eventually served as his Legislative Director, overseeing all policy matters. She also served as the Deputy National Policy Director for the Kerry-Edwards Presidential Campaign. After the 2004 election, Higginbottom founded and served as Executive Director of the American Security Project, a national security think tank. She began her career with the national non-profit organization Communities In Schools. On November 24, 2008, it was announced that Higginbottom was appointed the Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council in the administration of President Barack Obama.[3]

On January 7, 2011, President Obama nominated Higginbottom to the position of Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget.[4] Some Senate Republicans united in opposing Higginbottom's nomination, citing her "lack of business and accounting experience"; however[5] she was confirmed in the Senate in a 64–36 vote on October 20, 2011.[1]

After John Kerry was confirmed to be United States Secretary of State in 2013, he hired Higginbottom as Counselor.[6] In 2013, Obama nominated Higginbottom to serve as Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources. On November 14, 2013, her nomination was reported to the full U.S. Senate by the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. On December 13, 2013, the Senate confirmed her in a 74–17 vote.[7]

1. Roberta Steinfeld Jacobson: U.S. Ambassador to Mexico (20 Jun 2016 to ?), Ass’t Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Jul 2011 – May 2016. From Englewood NJ. Education: Brown and Tufts. Husband: Jonathan Jacobson.

In 1988, she worked at the United States National Security Council. The next year, she joined the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs in the United States Department of State as Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, becoming Executive Assistant to the Assistant Secretary in 1992.[3] She also served as Coordinator for Cuban Affairs. From 1996 to 2000, she was director of the Office of Policy Planning and Coordination at the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, covering issues such as civil-military relations, human rights, foreign assistance, and counter-narcotics throughout the hemisphere.

From 2000 to 2002, she was Deputy Chief of Mission in the United Embassy in Peru. The American Foreign Service Association, which represents the interests of career diplomats, objected to her appointment because the post is normally reserved for a foreign service officer and she was a civil service employee. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright overrode the recommendation of a State Department grievance board that recommended Jacobson be reassigned. The U.S. ambassador to Peru, John Hamilton, had chosen Jacobson over several career diplomats. He defended her selection in November 2000 saying: "She is the best manager I've come across in my 31 years in the Foreign Service".

Jacobson was Director of the State Department's Office of Mexican Affairs from December 2002 to June 2007. At that point, she became Deputy Assistant Secretary for Canada, Mexico and NAFTA issues in the Bureau. She was Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs from December 2010 until July 2011, with responsibility for regional political and economic issues, management and personnel, and regional security issues.

When Arturo Valenzuela left the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, she became Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs. U.S. President Barack Obama named her Assistant Secretary of State and she was sworn into office on March 30, 2012.

Led a U.S. delegation to Havana for historic talks with the government of Cuba in January 2015. According to advance media reports, she was expected to press Cuba to drop travel restrictions on American diplomats and propose that Cuba and the United States establish an embassy in Washington and Havana respectively.

On November 10, 2015, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved Obama's nomination of Jacobson as the American ambassador to Mexico by a vote of 12-7. Opposition to her appointment came primarily from the Republicans on the committee, notably presidential candidate Senator Marco Rubio. He and six other Republican senators, along with Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, raised concerns about her position on normalisation of relations between Cuba and the U.S., human rights issues, and the failed extradition of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who had escaped Mexico's highest security prison in July 2015.

The Senate approved her appointment to be U.S. Ambassador to Mexico on April 28, 2016. She presented her credentials to Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on June 20, 2016. Current position: Remains U.S. Ambassador to Mexico.

1. Patrick Francis Kennedy (not to be confused with Patrick Joseph Kennedy, of the JFK/RFK family): Kerry’s Deputy Secretary of State. From: Chicago. Education: Georgetown. 68 years old, very extensive resume in State Dept/Diplomatic Corps.

(My note: Remember Patrick Kennedy’s name! Read on, and research further, to see why!)

A. In 2007, Patrick F. Kennedy chaired an investigation into the behavior of Blackwater Worldwide, following the Nisour Square shooting.

B. During the 2008 presidential election, Kennedy ordered that State Department employees in Europe be barred from attending Senator Barack Obama's speech in Berlin on July 24, 2008, to ensure they displayed political neutrality. Kennedy labeled Obama's visit as a partisan political activity.

C. Kennedy's role in diplomatic security decisions has come under scrutiny from politicians since the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi in 2012. Kennedy testified to the House Oversight Committee on October 10, 2012, about the death of Chris Stevens. He testified that, after the October 2011 fall of Gaddafi, the government of Libya was in flux, and that Stevens first arrived in Benghazi "during the height of the revolution", which occurred between February 17 and October 23, 2011, "when the city was the heart of the opposition to Colonel Qadhafi and the rebels there were fighting for their lives." At that time he was Special Representative to the National Transitional Council. Stevens returned to Libya as ambassador in June 2012, and was killed on September 11 of that year.

“ Ambassador Stevens understood that the State Department must operate in many places where the U.S. military cannot or does not, where there are no other boots on the ground, where there are serious threats to our security. And he understood that the new Libya was being born in Benghazi and that it was critical that the United States have an active presence there. That is why Ambassador Stevens stayed in Benghazi during those difficult days. And it’s why he kept returning as the Libyan people began their difficult transition to democracy. He knew his mission was vital to U.S. interests and values, and was an investment that would pay off in a strong partnership with a free Libya.”

The Republican minority on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence alleged that Kennedy, as Under Secretary for Management, failed to approve requests for additional security in Benghazi and Tripoli, and failed to implement recommendations regarding high-risk diplomatic posts that had been issued after the bombings of embassies in 1998. In fact, the facility was classified as a U.S. Special Mission, which was then a novel category, that required a waiver which "legally allowed the CIA annex to be housed in a location about one mile from the U.S. special mission."

D. On June 10, 2013, CBS News reported that a memo from an official in the State Department inspector general’s office alleged that the then-current ambassador to Belgium, Howard Gutman, was ditching his security detail to engage prostitutes and underage children , and further alleged that Patrick F. Kennedy had killed the original investigation in order to protect Ambassador Gutman and maybe others.[9] On June 11, 2013, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney confirmed that the allegation regarding Kennedy was under active investigation by an independent inspector general.[10][11][12] On June 21, 2013, the White House announced Denise Bauer as the new nominee to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Belgium.

E. On October 17, 2016, the FBI released interviews related to the Hillary Clinton email investigation. One of the interviews alleges that Patrick F. Kennedy "pressured" the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to declassify an email from Hillary Clinton's private server in exchange for a "quid pro quo" of placing more agents in certain countries. The FBI stated that the email's classification status was re-reviewed and remained unchanged and denied quid pro quo accusations. The State Department called the allegations "inaccurate" and maintained that Kennedy was trying to "understand" the FBI's classification process.

There is MUCH more. Kennedy is obviously a VERY key player, and we have failed to drill down on him until now. Set aside your aspersions about this source for a few minutes, and read this analysis on Kennedy: https://www.infowars.com/fbi-hillarys-shadow-government-buried-email-scandal/

Current position: Unknown, but given age (68) and likely financial position, retired.

1. Cheryl D. Mills: Counselor & Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton. Education: Univ. of Virginia, Stanford Law School.

During her tenure, Reynoso was charged with developing and implementing a comprehensive security and Rule of Law strategy for Central America and the Caribbean.

In October 2011, President Obama expressed his intention to nominate Reynoso as United States Ambassador to the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, a nomination that required the advice and consent of the United States Senate. On March 30, 2012, the U.S. Senate confirmed Reynoso as United States Ambassador to Uruguay. As an ambassador, Reynoso focused on trade and commerce, with particular interest in agricultural trade, and on science, technology and education cooperation.

1. Lona Juel Valmoro, “main scheduler” for Hillary Clinton. Education: Rutgers, London School of Economics. Husband: Gregory Speed.

Lona was the Gatekeeper. Somebody somewhere NEEDS to be getting the schedules & calendars that Lona kept into the hands of somebody who can prosecute with a big stick.

See: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/437312/clinton-foundation-corruption-hillary-clintons-foreign-donor-meetings-scrutinized

And this too, from https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2016/02/10/confirmed-again-hillarys-top-aides-handled-top-secret-classified-info-on-private-email-accounts-n2117631

“The newly released Abedin emails include a lengthy exchange giving precise details of Clinton’s schedule using unsecured government emails. The email from Lona J. Valmoro, former Special Assistant to Secretary of State Clinton, to Abedin and Clinton reveals exact times (including driving times) and locations of all appointments throughout the day. Another itinerary email provides details about a meeting at the United Nations in New York at 3:00 on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, with the precise disclosure, “that would mean wheels up from Andrews at approximately 12:00pm/12:15pm.”

Yep. PDF of Fire & Fury that Wikileaks posted yesterday (er, Sunday, depending on your time zone)

It's so late in EST that I really should be on GMT. Eh, can sleep when I'm dead.

>>24261

Thanks. Starting to run out of gas here, but those 7th floor fuckers, if we can call a bunch of girls and Patrick Kennedy by that collective noun, need to get the full fire hose.

The 7th floor is Hillary's little private sorority of world-destroyers, and they're all still wandering around loose in fancy little prestige jobs to match their fancy educations. They could all use an ass-whooping out behind a barn, if you ask me.
