The REAL story: Hillary’s SAP emails

The American Media Maggots are making Palin’s endorsement of Trump Tuesday’s focus, in an attempt to obfuscate and divert attention from the REAL story.

From Politico.com:

Watchdog: Clinton’s server had classified material beyond ‘top secret’

by Rachael Bade & Josh Gerstein

Intelligence officials have discovered sensitive national security information on Hillary Clinton’s server that goes beyond the “top secret” level, the intelligence community inspector general told lawmakers in a letter last week.

In a copy of the Jan. 14 correspondence obtained by POLITICO, Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III told both the Senate Intelligence and Senate Foreign Relations committees that intelligence agencies found messages relating to what are known as “special access programs,” or SAP. That’s an even more restricted subcategory of sensitive compartmented information, or SCI, top secret national security information derived from sensitive intelligence sources.

Information like this is mandating a continued clear investigatory path by the 6’8″ James Comey’s FBI — a director who has never shied away from Obama.

The Business Insider writes, in explanation:

Intelligence is allocated to a special-access program when “the vulnerability of, or threat to, specific information is exceptional,according to Executive Order 13526, which was signed by US President Barack Obama in late 2009 and details how to properly handle and protect classified national-security information.

Clinton signed a nondisclosure contract when she got to the State Department, in which she agreed to “never divulge anything marked SCI [sensitive compartmented information] or that I know to be SCI to anyone who is not authorized to receive it without prior authorization from the US Government department or agency that authorized my access.”

FoxNews.com adds:

Intelligence from a “special access program,” or SAP, is even more sensitive than that designated as “top secret” – as were two emails identified last summer in a random sample pulled from Clinton’s private server she used as secretary of state. Access to a SAP is restricted to those with a “need-to-know” because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection — or a human asset — at risk. Currently, some 1,340 emails designated “classified” have been found on Clinton’s server, though the Democratic presidential candidate insists the information was not classified at the time.

“There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT ONE COULD NOT RECOGNIZE SAP MATERIAL.

Now check this:

While the State Department and Clinton campaign have said the emails in questions were “retroactively classified” or “upgraded” – to justify the more than 1,300 classified emails on her server – those terms are meaningless under federal law.

THOSE TERMS ARE MEANINGLESS UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

Hillary Clinton comes ever closer to being criminally indicted, and it couldn’t happen to a more applicable person.

A very important note from Guy Benson:

According to court documents, former CIA Director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing intelligence from special access programs with his biographer and mistress Paula Broadwell. At the heart of his prosecution was a non-disclosure agreement where Petraeus agreed to protect these closely held government programs, with the understanding “unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention or negligent handling … could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation.” Clinton signed an identical non-disclosure agreement Jan. 22, 2009.

Please closely read these stories from Hot Air, Fox News and Business Insider.

The sagacious Charles Krauthammer weighs in:

Krauthammer’s Take: Hillary E-mail Scandal Now ‘Worse than What Snowden Did’

Petraeus, as was mentioned earlier, he pled guilty because precisely this kind of information he shared. And I don’t see, given the fact that he is the inspector general of the intelligence community who was writing this officially to the intelligence committee heads in Congress that there is any way to contradict this. It is not a news story. This is an investigative story. And now it’s in the hands of the FBI. It’s hard to imagine that the Department of Justice will ignore this or wave it away.”

Finally, as I theorized here, is this the next step?

JOE BIDEN to Run for PresidentWill an arrogant, corrupt, law-breaking Clinton finally be indicted?

Clinton ruminations

Hillary Clinton Pleading Not To Be JailedSo there I was, last Monday morning, being wheeled into a surgery theater, face up, wearing a stupid hairnet and dressed in the Mark I Model I Embarrassing Hospital Gown with my ass completely uncovered.  Thank God my ass was ass-down on the rolling gurney as it entered the cold room.  I ooched from the gurney onto the operating table and was told to scoot down, scoot down.  Then, clank-clank, two armrests were dropped down and I was splayed out like the fat BZ turkey I am, an IV already attached.  Down came the mask and I was asked to breathe deeply.  I seem to recall taking three deep breaths.  Nighty-night.

About 75 minutes later, my dream featured someone talking to me from above.  “Open your eyes,” my protagonist said.  Eventually I did so.  “A better life through chemicals,” I thought.  I was literally feeling no pain.  Then.

My point is, I’m going to be horizontal for the next few weeks as I am supposed to stay off my foot, the subject of some ongoing and worsening problems.  The drugs are fairly serious anti-inflammatory and pain meds.  Some hours they work well, some hours not so much.  I won’t be able to place weight down for about six weeks.  Until then I “work” from the lounger in the living room.  Work, live and sleep there.  The laptop is on an adjacent tray table which I move to my lap until the thighs get too hot.  Getting to the bathroom is an ordeal; first with crutches and now with a rented knee scooter.  The drugs make me woggy or lucid, just depending.  I sleep when I can.

As a consequence, I spend a lot of time on the confuser, texting, reading and watching television.  I’ve found programs I didn’t know exist.  It’s also given me time to reflect on some political machinations involving the presidential race.

Hillary Clinton ShyIt has been presumed this year and last that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Demorat candidate for president.  Much of this is because it is Clinton’s “turn” and she has “paid her dues.”

Like Tammy Wynette, Hillary stood by her man whilst he swived his way through hordes (Linda Tripp alleges over 1,000) of jaded strumpets.  She did it all not because she enjoyed being the butt of fuck, blue dress and fellatio jokes, but because she recognized the inherent power that William Jefferson Clinton CLINTON Affairs and Assaultspossessed.  She knew that, if played properly, she could ride on Bill’s coat-tails from the periphery of power to real personal political power.

Hillary Clinton Leave Her AloneBut just when you may have thought it was “her time,” some pesky things have gotten in the way.  Like Trey Gowdy, some emails, some security and server concerns, four American deaths at the Benghazi consulate and the Clinton lies that began immediately thereafter.  When Hillary provided immediate excuses for the terrorists killing our Americans, she declared a further and more pointed open season on the United States.

Hillary Benghazi Bloody HandsOn the other hand, there is this:

It’s pretty obvious the DNC has done its level best to bury the Demorat debates on the weekends, but this debate was even more “buried” due to the three-day weekend.  Conventional wisdom is that the less Hillary is exposed — because “it’s her turn” — the lesser a chance of her being challenged or damaged.  The problem with that, recently revealed, is that she has been losing points in the polls whilst Sanders has been gaining.  Uh-oh.  Time to push Hillary more towards Front Street.  Sort of.  But not too much.

It was simply assumed Hillary would win Iowa and perhaps New Hampshire.  Now, Sanders is looking strong in New Hampshire.  Hillary is being overcome by the self-described Socialist Demorat.  And a doddering one at that, with wild hair and a funny accent.

Further, Hillary’s husband is doing her no favors thanks to Trump’s recent focus.  It also doesn’t help — though it makes me laugh abundantly — that the top recent Google search question is “will Hillary Clinton get prosecuted?”

So began to think further: what if Hillary loses Iowa and New Hampshire to Sanders?  What if he actually gets stronger and not weaker?  What if Hillary is actually indicted?

We know that Martin O’Malley isn’t pulling numbers.  I would also submit that Sanders is a Nutjob of the First Order whose mind doesn’t operate in reality.  The DNC won’t kill SuperPacs just for Bernie nor will they eschew corporate cash.

Who or what is left?

Will the DNC pull a Biden out of its hat?  An Al Gore?  Maybe even a Jim Webb?

What if Hillary really does go back to her unappealing 2008 days?

Moreover, can the GOP manage to coalesce around one candidate and, further, can that chosen candidate beat a Demorat?

Hillary doesn’t know the difference between a Socialist and a Democrat

I hope you’re sitting down.

That is, after all, absolutely shocking news.

Not.

Let’s look and listen.

Hillary stammers and avoids.

That bespeaks volumes, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, if only the GOP had a great candidate willing to crush nuts, name names and tell the truth.  Who didn’t have skeletons in their own closets.

Otherwise, the Demorats are SO handing themselves over to the GOP and Conservatives on the proverbial silver platter.

As my 60s Civics teacher Mr Helms said over 40 years ago in high school: “Democrats don’t win elections; Republicans lose them.”

Truism.

A moment of clarity about the The Realist

BZ Logo For BlogI’ve received a few emails from lost souls who actually follow my blog (they must be the ones who also religiously clean their fish tanks and balance check books), and are asking about the new header and its meaning.  Actually, I received more emails about the new header than I’ve ever received in the history of the blog.

They all asked: so, what does “I am The Realist” mean?

I decided it was time to explain and clarify.

Yes, I am still the Bloviating Zeppelin.  I have been so since this blog’s inception on Blogger in 2004.  I have kept this blog running for 11 years now.  These days that is unheard of.  Most blogs last a few weeks or a month, if that, then are abandoned.  The Blogosphere is replete with the abandoned floating remnants of good intentions ignored.

BZ Beard Avatar 1But, in my 60+ years on the planet, never have I encountered times such as these, where the 180-Paradigm is so completely embraced.

That is to say: if something is good, wonderful, fantastic, honest, clear, loyal, brave, powerful, proud, supportive of the United States, you can be assured that the current administration will do or embrace the complete reverse.

I am so done with that.  I am done with receding, with subsuming, with parsing my words, with taking care, with hesitating, with trying to acquire a readership, with attempting to appeal to more readers.  I am in my 60s, my days are numbered, I am done with tolerance, with acceptance, with any form of political correctness.

Let me make this plain.  I have “mine.”  I purposely purchased food for me and my wife to continue living.  I have a water source.  I have a defensible cabin far away from population centers.  I have a bangstick and one bullet.  I have the mindset and the training and the education and experience to utilize all of these things when necessary.  Further, I have a modicum of fiscal security.  I may have been a cop, but I was not a stupid cop.

I planned for my retirement when I was only in my single digits.  Shame on you if you haven’t planned for your retirement.  It’s not my responsibility to take care of you, that you haven’t had the insight I had or if you’re stupid.  Which reemphasizes: I have “mine.”  If you weren’t equally smart then shame on you.  Which translates to: if I advocate against the GOPEE or take certain stands, it’s because I don’t so much mind if the nation collapses.  I am better off than 99% of the rest of the US.

I don’t have to equivocate or worry about what anyone thinks about me.  That, frankly, is rather liberating.  And, as The Realist, it’s time to yank the covers off the national bed and expose the soft white underbelly of politics.  Because I am done.

This nation is not going to survive “compromise.”  It is not going to survive “bipartisanship.”  It is not going to survive communal thoughts or bicameral decisions or deconfliction or Progressives or Socialists or Demorats or Leftists or the SEIU or illegal immigrants or Muslims or open borders.

It’s time to be a Realist.  It’s time to realize what can be done and what must be done.  It’s time for me to fish or cut bait.  It’s time to be even more plain than ever before.  Because, in my estimation, the literal life of this nation, this great nation, is literally on the line.

There are elements, many elements, that wish to see this nation go down in flames.  They exist from without but way too many of these elements exist from within the nation.  I must identify them, call them out, be Politically INcorrect, and use plain and coarse language.

It’s not about me.  As I said, I have “mine.”  I can survive when pushed against the wall.  Too many Americans cannot.  And too many Americans are stupid and dull and groomed for extinction.  They don’t realize that they are the frog in the boiling pot.  They are dulled by their television and their news and their indifference to life around them.  They cannot see two inches in front of their faces.  They have been groomed and petted and coddled to be the dullards they have turned out to be.  The Millennials are the worst.  And they are in for a massive shock.  They are the least prepared for it.

There is a huge societal “thump” coming.  It may be revealed in a physical sense, in a geographic sense, in a fiscal sense, in a budgetary sense, in a stock sense, in an internet sense, in a viral sense, in a technological sense.  Or all of these.

But there is a major “thump” coming and oh-so-very-few people are prepared.  With that in mind, I have to ratchet up my rhetoric because ratcheted-up rhetoric is about to be banned.

You doubt me?

Just you wait and see.

Hence: I am now The Realist.

I must be more clear than ever before.

Why the GOP no longer matters

American VotersWhy?

Because there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the Old Staid GOP and the Demorats.

The ancient and staid GOP wants what it wants when it wants it.  They want their watering holes in DC, they want their limousines, they want their grand offices, they demand the deference of “lessers”, they want the Proles and Groundlings and Serfs to declare their subservience.  Heel and boot-licking.

STFU PhasersAnd they want true Conservatives to sup from the cup of Shut The Fuck Up.

Actual Conservatives ruin the play.  They spill their alcohol, they break the Legos, they kick out the Lincoln Logs, they dare to question.  They dare to even configure questions.

Republicans place the actual Conservatives into small offices, they take them out of committees, they refuse to see them, speak to them, acknowledge them.

Except that a few of them, to the tune of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, seem to have lives that are not unlike digital games.  As in: they go on and on.  Like a bad battery monkey.

Monkey-CymbalsEven Donald Trump throws a massive monkey wrench into the GOP engine.  It’s not appreciated.

Who did the GOP throw up against Barack Hussein Obama?  Oh, right, the greatest RINO ever: John McCain.  And an ignorant dupe: Sarah Palin.  She’s about as intelligent as a hubcap.

Who did the GOP throw up next?  Oh, right, Mitt Romney.  The guy who wasn’t even convinced that he should run.  Just ask his son, Tad.

The current GOP “leadership” leads about as effectively as a band of cystic nematodes.  To include John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

GOP RINOs Voting For Illegal AmnestyWelcome back, GOP RINOs.

Let me make myself clear.  Battle lines need to be drawn.  There is no more room for “moderation” or ‘bipartisanship” or any of the other bullshit words and phrases crafted by both sides of the aisle.

I am 64 years of age.  My best years are “behind me” according to Leftists.  I am the one to whom no one should apply any amount of the healing arts.

And with that I say: I have spent those years preparing for what is coming, because I was sufficiently aware to recognize a bit of the future.  I have precious metals, I have precious metal launchers, I have food, I have water, I have a mindset.

And if I don’t support or vote for the GOP piece of shite that the Leftists have pushed upon us, I quite couldn’t care less.  Because, finally, I have mine.

Hillary About YouAnd Hillary gives hers.

For the rest of you, you’d best be prepared to be cast aside.

Republicans Move to Save Obamacare Subsidies if Supreme Court Eliminates Them

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans will move to temporarily continue health care subsidies for millions of people if the Supreme Court overturns the aid, according to plans discussed in the House and Senate Wednesday.

Republicans on both sides of the Capitol met privately to discuss how to respond to the politically explosive ruling that’s expected in the next two weeks and could result in some 7 million people losing subsidies to buy coverage under President Barack Obama’s contested health care law.

Good to know, eh wot?
