SPECIAL REPORT: Was Clinton's Personal Email System Courtesy of Soros's Techies?…

March 5, 2015

by Wayne Madsen
Wayne Madsen Report

There is no question that Hillary Clinton and George Soros are very close politically and socially. However, did Mrs. Clinton’s tight relationship with Soros result in the multi-billionaire mogul instructing his army of tech-savvy social networking gurus to install the private e-mail server at the Clinton home in Chappaqua, New York that the then-Secretary of State used to communicate privately and outside the purview of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Federal Records Act (FRA) with her closest advisers, many of whom previously worked for Soros’s NGOs?

As more details are revealed about the nature of Clinton’s email network, these and other questions are being asked about the true nature of Clinton’s decision to have her staff, just two months ago, cherry pick through hundreds of thousands of emails and release only 50,000 of those which she and her staffers deemed compliant with the FARA.

Aside from Clinton skirting the intent of the FARA and FRA, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest could not say whether Clinton’s use of a private email system resulted in a security vulnerability. Earnest even directed a question whether Mrs. Clinton linked her private email system to the State Department’s classified email system back to the State Department.

Clinton’s private email system at her New York residence was registered by an aide named Eric Hothem. However, Internet registration records list his name as Eric Hoteham. The original clintonemail.com domain name was registered by another aide named Justin Cooper. Cooper now works for Teneo Holdings, a firm that advises corporate clients that was co-founded by former Bill Clinton personal assistant Doug Band. Mr. Clinton’s and Band’s names appeared on the passenger manifests of several flights made with convicted underage sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on his private Boeing jetliner.

Those who defend Clinton’s use of the private system claim that it was already in place when she became Secretary of State. However, Internet domain registration records for clintonemail.com show that there domain was registered on January 13, 2009, eight days before she was confirmed as Secretary of State by the U.S. Senate. Obama announced his selection of Clinton as Secretary of State at a December 1, 2008 press conference in Chicago.

The registration records also indicate that updates of the Whois database record for clintonemail.com were made on February 26 and March 5, 2015 just prior to and after the story about the private email broke in The New York Times. Clinton’s service provider is Perfect Privacy LLC, a private domain registration firm listing its address in Jacksonville, Florida although its website claims its headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia. Florida Secretary of State corporation records contain no record for Perfect Privacy LLC of Jacksonville.

It has been reported by The New York Times that those who used the private Clinton email system represented Mrs. Clinton’s inner circle of family, friends, and close advisers. They included daughter Chelsea Clinton, who used the pseudonym “Diane Reynolds,” and Mrs. Clinton’s personal assistant Huma Abedin, the wife of disgraced New York congressman Anthony Weiner who resigned after “sexting” photographs of his genitals to unknown women using the pseudonym “Carlos Danger.” Questions are being asked about Mrs. Clinton’s use of the private system to help raise money from foreign sources for her and her husband’s and daughter’s Clinton Foundation, which has been mired in controversy over receiving generous donations from foreign governments.


Was Hillary’s high-tech email system provided and funded by George Soros to conduct a private foreign policy?

There are also credible reports that Mrs. Clinton’s deputy Secretary of State, James Steinberg, also used the private e-mail along with other top aides at the State Department. After Mrs. Clinton took over the reins at Foggy Bottom, she appointed current Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew as her deputy secretary of State for resources and management. Neither Lew nor Steinberg have commented on what knowledge they had of the private email system although it would have been Lew’s responsibility to manage Mrs. Clinton’s email usage of the official unclassified and classified email networks.

WMR has learned that the private email system used by Mrs. Clinton is similar to those installed with funding by Soros’s Open Society Institute in countries targeted for internal subversion. These private systems, such as the one being installed for Cuba’s Jewish community by State Department/U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contractor Alan Gross, jailed by Cuba for espionage, were developed by Soros’s technical personnel as part of his “Internet Training and Access Program (ITAP).” ITAP was designed to permit activists in certain countries to bypass government restrictions on Internet access and communicate between themselves domestically and internationally with foreign colleagues.  The ITAP project was underwritten by funding from USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and other State Department programs.

It is believed by some observers of State Department operations that Mrs. Clinton’s private system may have been used by her top echelon, including then-spokesperson Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman, Steinberg, and Lew to foment “themed” revolutions, some of which led to civil wars, in the Arab world. The focus of congressional investigators examining clintonemail.com, WMR is told, should be on the other possible users of the system, which, in addition to Steinberg, Nuland, Feltman, and Lew, may also include Bill Clinton, Doug Band, Soros, and NED president Carl Gershman.

REPORT: Epstein Plea Deal With Feds Protected Bill Clinton and the House of Bush…

January 23, 2015

by Wayne Madsen 
Wayne Madsen Report dot com

WMR obtained the heretofore sealed Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) struck between lawyers for billionaire Florida registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and George W. Bush-era federal prosecutors. Epstein received the NPA after he was charged with soliciting sex from an alleged “prostitute.” However, the so-called “prostitute” was actually a 14-year old girl who was recruited by a network of Epstein’s employees who basically served as child sex traffickers and pimps.

Lawyers for Epstein attempted to block federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Kenneth Marra from unsealing the NPA as per the wishes of attorneys for four child sex trafficking victims known as Jane Does 1 through 4. However, Marra decided to unseal the NPA on January 21 and WMR was present at the Paul G. Roberts Federal Building to obtain a copy of the NPA. However, it was also discovered that the publicly-accessible case database maintained in the court’s clerk’s office has been malfunctioning recently and court records are difficult to retrieve. An employee for the clerk’s office told WMR that the computer system was to have been fixed but that no steps have been taken to restore ease of access to court records.

The NPA was agreed to on October 30, 2007 by U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta. Although Acosta later criticized the plea deal in an open letter, he did not respond to WMR’s request for an interview on the current case in which four of Epstein’s victims are suing the U.S. government claiming that the NPA violated their rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. The victims, who are now adults, claim that the federal government’s NPA with Epstein violated the 2004 CVRA. The government argues that because Epstein was never charged with a federal crime, the victims have no rights under the CVRA. In their request to Marra to unseal the NPA, the attorneys for the Jane Does, said that the federal government and Epstein colluded “to avoid a firestorm of public controversy that would have erupted if the sweetheart plea deal with a politically-connected billionaire had been revealed.”

The NPA was signed on behalf of Acosta by A. Marie Villafana, the then-Assistant U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida who is now the U.S. Attorney under Attorney General Eric Holder. The plea deal with Epstein was concluded after the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami and the FBI investigated Epstein separately from the investigation conducted by the Palm Beach County Police Department and the Florida Attorney’s Office.  The deal cut between Acosta and Villafana and the state of Florida, which was then under the governorship of then-Republican Governor Charlie Crist and Republican Attorney-General Bill McCollum stated that the federal government would defer to Florida the prosecution of Epstein. Acosta has gone on to become the dean of the law school of Florida International University in Miami.

The NPA also stipulated that a list of individuals who the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami and the FBI has identified as victims of Epstein’s sexual abuse and trafficking would be provided to Epstein’s attorneys who included Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. Jane Doe 3, identified as Virginia Roberts, has claimed that Dershowitz has sex with her while she was a minor. Dershowitz has vigorously denied the allegations and he has cited a “conspiracy” against him by anti-Semites who are getting even for his longtime support for Israel. Unsubstantiated conspiracy theories by Dershowitz aside, the fact remains that the NPA immunized all of Epstein’s co-conspirators, who allegedly include Dershowitz, former President Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew of Britain from future federal prosecution. The NPA states: “. . . the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Goff, or Nadia Marcinkova.” The NPA also suspended the federal Grand Jury investigation against Epstein and held ion abeyance all federal Grand Jury subpoenas in the case against Epstein. These subpoenas presumably included those directed to witnesses in the case, individuals that likely include Dershowitz, Clinton, and Andrew.

Flight manifests of Epstein’s Gulfstream jet and Boeing 727 indicate that Epstein’s passengers were often a mix of underage sex traffic victims and some of the world’s most powerful politicians and businessmen. These include Clinton, Dershowitz, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Chicago Pritzker family chieftain and Hyatt Hotels executive chairman Thomas Pritzker (the first cousin of U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker), and failed Palm Beach mayoral candidate Gerry Goldsmith.

Epstein’s Gulfstream II-B (N909JE) has, along with his Boeing 727, been spotted at Paris’s Le Borguet Airport in frequent occasions. Epstein’s Sikorsky S-76B helicopter has been seen flying between Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Epstein’s Cessna 172-XP has flown to and from Double Eagle II Airport outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Epstein’s Boeing 727-31 on ground at Prague’s Vaclav Havel International Airport in May 2004. Tail number N908JE. It’s the same plane that Bill Clinton flew on.

Also appearing on the flight manifests are the names of some of the alleged victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking: Virginia Roberts, Cindy Lopez,   Other passengers are only listed by their first names: Colleen, Tatianna, Margarita, Carolina, Lisa, Margaret, Dana, Julie, and Jessica. Epstein’s two major pimps are also frequent flyers on Epstein’s “Pederast Airlines” — Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of the late publishing tycoon and Mossad asset Robert Maxwell, and Sarah Kellen (now Sarah Kensington), the girlfriend of NASCAR driver Brian Vickers.


Alan Dershowitz’s name appears on Epstein flight manifests on flights from Bedford, Massachusetts to Teterboro Airport, New Jersey (Feb. 5, 2004) and Pierre Trudeau International in Montreal (Nov. 17, 2005). “AD” appears to be Alan Dershowitz on a Nov. 17, 2005 flight from Teterboro to Palm Beach International Airport along with”JE” (Jeffrey Epstein) and “SE” (Sarah Kellen) and another flight from Bedford to Teterboro with Epstein (“JE”), Tatianna, and an “AM.”


Larry Summers’s name appears on a Sep. 14, 2005 flight with Epstein from Bedford, Massachusetts to Westchester County Airport, New York.


Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s Boeing 727 from Miami to Westchester, New York on February 9, 2002 with Epstein, four Secret Service agents (has the recent prosecution of Secret Service agents for liaising with prostitutes been an attempt to intimidate them if they ever decide to speak out about Clinton on Epstein’s flights?), “2 males” (unidentified), “1 female” (unidentified), Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, and a “BP.”

It is noteworthy that Charlie Crist, who became a Democrat after leaving the Republican Party and becoming an independent, received the enthusiastic backing of Bill Clinton in Crist’s failed bid to oust GOP Governor Rick Scott last year. It now appears that Clinton may have owed Crist more than a political favor as details begin to emerge of the Crist administration’s deal with Acosta in Miami to immunize Clinton from any future prosecutions in the Epstein case. Although the NPA with Epstein was agreed upon during the Crist and McCollum tenure, Epstein’s 2005 arrest for having sex with a 15-year old and the onset of his attorneys’ back-and-forth with the government occurred during the Jeb Bush administration and his Attorney General Crist. The U.S. Attorney General from 2005, when Epstein was first charged with having sex with an underage minor, to October 2007, when the plea deal was signed with Epstein, was Alberto Gonzales, President George W. Bush’s former chief counsel. The Epstein case, therefore, tarnishes both the Clintons and the Bushes.

Up to 40 women have been identified as being the victims of sexual abuse by Epstein. Court records indicate the number may be higher with one reference to a Jane Doe 103.

Epstein’s 97-page address book, called the “Holy Grail,” contains the personal phone numbers and email addresses for some of the world’s most rich and famous, which, in addition to Clinton, includes Prince Andrew, John Kerry, Donald Trump (also a resident of Palm Beach), Tony Blair and his chief spokesman Alastair Campbell, Ehud Barak, Michael Bloomberg, Richard Branson, George Mitchell, Henry Kissinger, Andrew Cuomo, Itzhak Perlman, Dustin Hoffman, Tea party financier David Koch, former newspaper tycoon and convicted felon Conrad Black and his extreme pro-Israel wife Barbara Black, Andrew’s former girlfriend and porn actress Koo Stark, and Mick Jagger. Epstein is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Prince Andrew used the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland as a platform where he denied allegations that he was involved in Epstein’s underage sex ring. Virginia Roberts  (Jane Doe 3) alleges that she had sex with Andrew when she was still a minor.

WMR also obtained from federal court records unsealed on January 21 a partially-released transcript of an April 7, 2011 telephone conversation between attorneys Brad Edwards, who is representing Roberts and other Jane Does, and Jack Scarola, who was representing Edwards. In the conversation, Roberts recounts that Epstein was presented with two 12-year old girls from France as a “birthday gift.” The two girls were said to be from poor families in France. Roberts recalled how Epstein sent her when she was 19 to Thailand to learn Thai-style massages. However, in Thailand, Roberts said she met an Australian kick boxer, fell in love with and married him, and moved to Australia. Before that Epstein asked Roberts to bear his child and sign it over to him and Maxwell. Epstein offered Roberts a mansion and a monthly allowance if she agreed to the terms. Roberts opted instead to move to Australia with her husband.

The victims of Epstein’s sex slave ring may never see justice or adequate compensation. Attorneys for the victims, who are scattered from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, appear as interested in grabbing hefty contingency fees in the event of successful suits against Epstein as much as Epstein’s well-paid attorneys are interested in limiting Epstein’s financial drain.

Global Post, the employer of freelancer James Foley, fails to pass smell test

August 22, 2014

by Wayne Madsen
WayneMadsenReport dot com

National news media operations based in Boston are almost like musicals that run “off Broadway.”

We can add Global Post to the off-Broadway journalistic hit parade. Global Post is the Boston-based website that employed freelance photo journalist James Foley in Syria, recently beheaded by his Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) guerrillas in Iraq, appears to be a subsidized operation with an agenda that matches up nicely with that of international hedge fund tycoon George Soros.

National media operations not based in New York or Washington, DC are usually subsidized by interests with agendas. One Boston-based media operation that has a clear agenda is The Christian Science Monitor, a church-owned operation, which has become increasingly neo-conservative in its coverage since it scrapped its print edition and became an exclusively web-based operation. The other Boston-based national media operation is CAMERA  – the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America — which serves as the Israel Lobby’s often rabid media watchdog.

Foley, who was kidnapped on November 22, 2012 in northern Syria, near Idlib, by Syrian guerrillas who were not members of ISIL for the simple reason that ISIL did not yet exist. Foley was originally captured by an Islamist group that took its orders from the Central Intelligence Agency-organized and trained Free Syrian Army (FSA), whose leaders led their “army” not from the battlefield but from posh Istanbul hotel suites paid for by the Turkish, Saudi, and Qatari governments.

In early 2013, ISIL took over the rebel group holding Foley and other kidnap victims. Foley, like other journalists, was offered up for ransom by ISIL, which is now said to have some 4000 members who are Europeans, Australians, North Americans, and even a few Japanese, who have no Muslim or Middle Eastern familial backgrounds. In fact, the British citizen who beheaded Foley on video is said to go by the first name of “John,” which is certainly not a Muslim name.

Ransom payments for kidnap victims like Foley have turned into a big business for ISIL and other terrorist groups. France, Italy, and Spain have paid large ransom amounts for its nationals taken hostage in Syria, West Africa, and Somalia. It is stated U.S. and British policy not to pay ransoms for hostages, however, as witnessed in the Iran-contra scandal, the U.S. is known to have traded arms to Iran for the release of hostages held by Shi’a groups in Lebanon.

In the case of Foley, ISIL had been in email communication with his family and Global Post to work out a ransom deal. However, ISIL said it beheaded Foley in retaliation for U.S. air strikes against ISIL guerrillas who were advancing toward the Kurdish capital of Erbil in northern Iraq.

There are reports that ISIL has even purchased kidnapped Westerners from other groups as far afield as Kashmir, Somalia, and Yemen in order to trade them for cash. Al Qaeda’s reputed leader, Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri, is said to have called for Islamist groups to seize Western hostages in return for freeing Islamists held in prisons around the world.

The focus on Global Post yields some interesting connections. Foley had previously covered other U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Foley was always embedded with U.S. troops, as was the case in Iraq and Afghanistan, or U.S.-supported militias in Libya and Syria. During the 2011 CIA-initiated Libyan rebellion against Muammar Qaddafi’s government, Foley was taken captive by Qaddafi army loyalists and held for 44 days.  Foley preferred being embedded with those fighting on the side of the United States rather than cover wars from different perspectives. Such wartime journalism would lead some believe that Foley was performing non-journalistic tasks on U.S.-created battlefields, that is, espionage.

President Obama interrupted his summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard to condemn Foley’s beheading. Obama also phoned Foley’s parents who live in New Hampshire. Subsequently, it was reported officially that U.S. Special Forces had attempted a rescue mission in Syria to free Foley and other American hostages but it failed. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that normally such operations would not be revealed but that in the case of Foley an exception had been made because the information on the failed rescue operation had already been “leaked” to the press. One could ask why an administration that is intent on putting some journalists in prison for publishing leaks of classified information would make such an exception, itself involving classified special forces operations, for Foley?

There has long been a debate within the U.S. intelligence community as to whether it is proper to use intelligence agents operating abroad under journalistic cover. Past administrations, including those of Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, banned the use of journalists and missionaries by the CIA. Others, including the Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush administrations were not so adamant against the use of journalists as spies. The Obama administration’s leeway given to the CIA for all sorts of operations previously prohibited or inhibited opens the door for journalists, once again, being used as agents in hot spots like Syria, Libya, and Iraq.

Which brings us back to Global Post. The media operation has not been around long. It was initiated on January 12, 2009, a week before the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, by two Boston businessmen, Charles Sennott and Philip Balboni. The new website claimed it was going to “redefine international news for the digital age.” Originally charging an annual subscription of $199 a year, Global Post cut its annual rate to $30 a year, which has been WMR’s unchanged annual subscription rate since 2005. However, Global Post’s subscribers’ base only stood at around 400. Yet, Global Post could boast of 65 worldwide correspondents, albeit, many of whom, like Foley, were freelancers. But how does an on-line media with subscribers only in the hundreds manage to finance reporters in war zones like Syria and Libya while maintaining a worldwide network of correspondents?

Global Post, with its lackluster business revenues, was able to cut syndication agreements with the Public Broadcasting System (sometimes mockingly referred to as the “Pentagon Broadcasting System”), the Sumner Redstone-owned CBS, and the Mort Zuckerman-owned New York Daily News. Oddly, just two years after its start-up, Global Post had garnered Peabody, Polk, and Edward R. Murrow awards for its “On Location” video coverage. Clearly, someone wanted to increase Global Post’s street credentials through an “award washing” campaign.

Owned by Global News Enterprises, LLC and headquartered on Boston’s affluent waterfront, Global Post’s board of directors and management includes those who have had only a glancing encounter with actual journalism: former cable television executives, a former chairman of C-SPAN, a former member of the board of The Boston Globe, a former publisher of The Boston Globe, an assistant to the CEO of the Hearst Corporation, a public relations flack for PBS, and a board member of the Boston public television station WGBH.

But even more suspicious is the presence on the staff of Global Post of two former editors for The Cambodia Daily, a CIA-connected publication officially owned by Cambodian orphanage “aficionado” Bernard Krisher; a former senior correspondent for the CIA- and Soros-linked Radio Free Europe in Prague; a graduate of the CIA-linked Sasin Business Institute in Bangkok; a former Boston Globe Jerusalem bureau chief, a former editor for the CIA-connected Tico Times of Costa Rica, and a former editor for the hard-neocon publication The Atlantic. Global Post’s team of international correspondents are steeped in neocon credentials, from The Daily Beast and Kyiv Post to The New Republic and The Daily Telegraph.

While the White House and journalists mourn the death of Foley, it is important to point out that his photo reporting seldom departed from the confines of U.S. military units or irregular rebel forces supported by the CIA. It is tragic that one of those CIA rebel forces ultimately would subject Foley to a gruesome videotaped beheading. However, as much blame for that rests with those who supported the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, individuals like CIA director John Brennan and national security adviser Susan Rice, as with the rebel executioners themselves.

A Christmas Message from Ed Snowden

Edward Snowden was invited by Britain’s Channel 4 to provide a Christmas message to the good people of Britain during the same time slot the Queen was imparting hers. When Channel 4 was challenged by their decision to air Snowden’s message Jon Snow of Channel 4 responded on Twitter stating –

@leshinton @Channel4 If the UK Government had any balls we’d grant Snowden asylum for Christmas, he’s done the world a service

— Jon Snow (@jonsnowC4) December 24, 2013

Bravo! Jon Snow! Indeed he has done the “world a service” and as regular readers of The T-Room are most aware, Britain lacks “the balls” and would rather put their precious resources into kidnapping him to a) shut him up and b) to shut him up. Well, today, he has a short Christmas message for you and we sincerely hope you’ll click on full story to hear it –  [Read more…]

The Obama administration, in yet another display of the use of Orwellian language, has embarked on a military doctrine called “Mass Atrocity Prevention” (MAP), the Pentagon operational plan to implement the White House’s “R2P” or “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine. Essentially, the Pentagon will militarily support the intervention of international forces operating under the umbrella of NATO, UN, the African Union, the Organization of American States (OAS), the Arab League, and others to prevent a “massacre” by a dictatorial government perceived to pose a threat to its domestic opposition.

by Helen Tansey ©

Jack Abramoff’s “tell all” book “Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption From America’s Most Notorious Lobbyist,” released today, and according to WND is a “tell all” expose that has the halls of Congress abuzz while also reverberating out to K Street and beyond. Abramoff’s book is being billed as a “lifting of the gossamer veil” of just how monstrously corrupt the entirety of the congressional club has become.

Politico’s MJ Lee reports that Abramoff recalled having “100 congressmen in his pocket” and the Washington Post details how Abramoff and his team of lobbyists were able to gain access and control over congressional staffers by suggesting they come and work for his firm – [Read more…]
