Clinton E-mails Show George Soros Gave Sec of State Foreign Policy Marching Orders


A series of message within the September 2015 State Department dump of Hillary Clinton e-mails show the Secretary of State of the United States received direct orders over U.S. foreign policy from none other than Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros.

Soros – who for years has been suspected of pulling the strings behind Clinton as well as dozens of foreign policy and open borders groups – appears to have sent a message through his “special advisor” Jonas Rolett.

Rolett, who is listed as “Special Advisor to the Chair” on Soros’s Open Society Foundations website, sent a message to then-State Department official Richard Verma.

Mr. Verma duly passed the message along to an e-mail chain including Hillary’s top foreign affairs advisor Jacob Sullivan, her Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Gordon, as well as a recipient “William J” – believed to be William Joseph Burns who was then Deputy Secretary of State.

The e-mails, dated January 24 2011, begin with Verma forwarding a message from Rolett with the note: “Below message is from George Soros for the Secretary. Understand his organization was sending through other channels as well”.

Rolett’s message continues beneath, stating: “Rich, Here’s the text of the message. I’m available to talk at any time. Thanks, Jonas”.

Then follows what can only be construed as instructions for the Secretary of State from Democratic Party donor Soros, who has so far given her over $7 million this election cycle:

Dear Hillary,

A serious situation has arisen in Albania which needs urgent attention at senior levels of the US government. You may know that an opposition demonstration in Tirana on Friday resulted in the deaths of three people and the destruction of property. There are serious concerns about further unrest connected to a counter-demonstration to be organized by the governing party on Wednesday and a follow-up event by the opposition two days later to memorialize the victims. The prospect of tens of thousands of people entering the streets in an already inflamed political environment bodes ill for the return of public order and the country’s fragile democratic process.

I believe two things need to be done urgently:

1. Bring the full weight of the international community to bear on Prime Minister Berisha and opposition leader Edi Rama to forestall further public demonstrations and to tone down public pronouncements.

2. Appoint a senior European official as a mediator.

While I am concerned about the rhetoric being used by both sides, I am particularly worried about the actions of the Prime Minister. There is videotape of National Guard members firing on demonstrators from the roof of the Prime Ministry. The Prosecutor (appointed by the Democratic Party) has issued arrest warrants for the individuals in question. The Prime Minister had previously accused the opposition of intentionally murdering these activists as a provocation. After the tape came out deputies from his party accused the Prosecutor of planning a coup d’etat in collaboration with the opposition, a charge Mr. Berisha repeated today. No arrests have been made as of this writing.

The demonstration resulted from opposition protests over the conduct of parliamentary elections in 2009. The political environment has deteriorated ever since and is now approaching levels of 1997, when similar issues caused the country to slide into anarchy and violence. There are signs that Edi Rama’s control of his own people is slipping, which may lead to further violence.

The US and the EU must work in complete harmony over this, but given Albania’s European aspirations the EU must take the lead. That is why I suggest appointing a mediator such as Carl Bildt, Martti Ahtisaari or Miroslav Lajcak, all of whom have strong connections to the Balkans.

My foundation in Tirana is monitoring the situation closely and can provide independent analysis of the crisis.

Thank you,

George Soros

Indeed just days after the message was sent, Mr. Lajcak, named by Mr. Soros in the e-mail, was sent to the Albanian capital in order to attempt to negotiate the situation. At the time Mr Lajcak said it was up to Albania’s leaders “to do what we ask them to do”.

Mr. Soros is known for using and indeed manipulating major world events for both his ideological and financial interests. He became known in the United Kingdom as the man who “broke the Bank of England” during one of the worst financial episodes in the country’s recent history. On ‘Black Wednesday’, when Britain withdrew from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, Mr. Soros made over $1bn in one day.

His organisations have also recently been responsible for agitating against the new, populist Polish government, as well as in his home country of Hungary, where President Viktor Orban has repeatedly blamed him for the migrant crisis, claiming his staff are “drawing a living” from the problem.

In May, Breitbart London exclusively revealed the words of Tomasz Piotr Poreba – a former Adviser to the Committees on Foreign Affairs and Regional Development in the European Parliament – who said: “Not so long ago relations between the Clintons and billionaire Soros were revealed… Soros supports Clintons and Clinton followed his order. That is no secret.”

At the same time Mr. Orban declared: “…here, in Central Europe a shadow power exists, which is linked to George Soros, he is one of the most important sponsors of the Democratic Party, so I have to say that although the mouth belongs to Clinton, the voice belongs to George Soros”.

Mr. Soros recently called for the overturning of the Brexit vote to leave the European Union, and the Wall Street Journal revealed the multi-billionaire, while backing Mrs. Clinton to the tune of millions, is betting against U.S. stocks.

Venezuela is a workers paradise the government owns or has seized most of the countries companies so its not possible that things are bad for if Venezuela is failing then globalism will also fail and that means all of us could soon be in the same position!

Why is August the Most Active Month for War?


War-Cycle-2014

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You have stated that August is the season of war. Van you explain a bit more than just that. I am sure you have before. But I am new to the blog.

Thank you for opening my mind

ANSWER: The majority of wars have begun in the Spring and Summer with August being the danger zone. The War of the Roses began on May 22nd, 1455, which was one of the earliest. The 100 years war really began on June 24th, 1340. But as we bottomed in global climate during the 1700s, this cycle tended to shift the wars to later summer. The American and French revolutions technically began in July. However, it was the Insurrection of August 10th, 1792 that was one of the real defining events in the history of the French Revolution since the monarchy fell 6 weeks later. If we look at World War I, that began on July 28th, 1914 and World War II began on September 1st, 1939. The Vietnam war and the Tonkin Gulf incident was August 1st, 2014. The Gulf War (first invasion) took place on August 2nd, 1990. The Iraq War (second invasion) began on March 20th, 2003 but this was clearly a monetary war game set in motion by Dick Cheney and appears clearly out of sync historically with conflicts, which is why it appears to be orchestrated.

We are in the dangerous this month for armed conflict. The cycle turned up in 2014. Ever since we have seen a rising international arms race created by Obama and a rising trend of civil unrest and terrorism. We have Iran and North Korea in a made rush to enter the nuclear weapons game. So yes. Beware of the month of August.

Hillary Clinton’s War Policy


Hillary doesn’t just want to be the US “Queen” she wants to be “Queen” of the entire world; unfortunately for her there are not many outside the US that would support that and Obama has decimated the US military so with the mad Red Queen in power — world devastation would ensue.

Germany the 800 pound Gorilla

800-pound-gorrila

This week, a German cooperative savings bank in the Bavarian village of Gmund am Tegernsee with less than 10,000 in population, announced it will begin charging retail customers to hold their cash starting in September. This will apply to accounts greater than €100,000 euros. This means the bank will charge customers 0.4 percent, which amounts to a direct pass-through of the current level of the ECB’s negative deposit rate. After speaking directly with banking sources, what is happening is that cash is flooding into German banks from around Europe just to park avoiding the negative deposit rate. Now, the banks are starting to pass the negative rates back to the clients. However, much of this flow of capital has also been money fleeing other banks outside of Germany for fear that the euro will break and they will get Deutschemarks.

However, THE 800 POUND GORILLA in the corner of the room is Deutsche Bank itself. Rumor has it that its derivative book is 5 times the GDP of Germany. The real issue here is what happens when Deutsche Bank needs more than a banana? This is the largest bank in Germany and thus the most important bank for all of Europe even if you do not bank there. Can Germany really allow the BAIL-IN process to take place? Politically, this would be total disaster economically, politically, and for the stability of the EU itself. The theory which destroyed Cyrus and has wreaked havoc in Greece, if applied to the largest economy of Europe, will destroy all confidence in Brussels.

Does the fate of Europe hinge on the fate of Deutsche Bank? If the Germans blink, what are the ramifications that will reverberate throughout Europe? These are issues we will discuss at the upcoming WEC Institutional Session.
