    Editor’s Comment: The absurdity is overwhelming. There’s no square deal or honest dealing in the region, yet we are supposed to get outraged about the actions of the man who is officially in power there – even if it means the U.S. is tacitly backing actual al Qaeda terrorists, along with the al Nusra front, whatever is left of the so-called “rebels” who’ve now been largely defeated militarily by the Russian/Syrian forces.

    It is outrageous the pack of unbelievable lies that are to make up the current pretext for war, and the motivations for intervention there. The corporate interests and conflicts of interest are blatant and in your face. And yet the drums march ever onward…

    ‘Al-Qaeda is On Our Side in Syria’ — Email Shows Clinton Knew US Worked With Terrorists

    by Matt Agorist

    Jacob Jeremiah Sullivan is an American policymaker and a senior policy advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election campaign, who’s been seemingly attached to Clinton’s hip for nearly a decade.

    Sullivan was widely rumored to be a front-runner for the position of U.S. National Security Advisor under a Hillary Clinton administration before she lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election. He was also Deputy Assistant to the U.S. President Barack Obama and National Security Advisor to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden.

    He also served as the Director of Policy Planning at the U.S. Department of State, and as Deputy Chief of Staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He was deputy policy director for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential primary campaign and a member of the debate preparation team for Barack Obama’s general election campaign. 

    For all intents and purposes, it is safe to call Sullivan a well-connected D.C. insider.

    Now, according to a recently discovered email from WikiLeaks, he knew the US was working alongside Al-Qaeda in Syria — and, by proxy, so did then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

    While it may come as no surprise, to those who’ve been paying attention, that the US has been arming and supporting terrorists in Syria, this email, confirming Clinton’s knowledge of it prior to Obama’s ‘red line’ in 2013, is nothing short of bombshell.

    While the United States admittedly gave supplies to the ‘rebels’ as early as 2011, these supplies were all non-lethal, meaning they came in the form of food, trucks, and other rations. However, through covert lines, the CIA quickly began to dump cash, weapons, and eventually heavy artillery into the hands of the ‘moderate rebels’ over the course of the next few years.

    What this email shows is that the US knew Al-Qaeda leader al-Zawahiri called on Muslims in Turkey and the Middle East to aid the rebels in the Free Syrian Army. From this day forward, the lines between who Al-Qaeda or the ‘rebels’ actually were — became heavily blurred. But, according to the email, the state department did not care as they knew Al-Qaeda was on their side.

    As the email states:

    UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05789138 Date: 10/30/2015 AL-ZAWAHIRI URGES MUSLIM SUPPORT FOR OPPOSITION (U) Al-Qaida leader al-Zawahiri called on Muslims in Turkey and the Middle East to aid rebel forces in their fight against supporters of Syrian President Asad in an interne video recording. Al-Zawahiri also urged the Syrian people not to rely on the AL, Turkey, or the United States for assistance.euters)

    Once this wire went out to multiple departments in the form of an Ops Alert, apparently there may have been some original concern about Al-Qaeda joining the ranks of the US-supported rebels — which were being used by the American Deep State to destabilize Syria on behalf of special interests. However, Sullivan quickly replied to his master, Hillary Clinton, to let her know that Al-Qaeda “is on our side in Syria.”

    This email adds credence to the claims of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard — who was forced to take action to stop the US/ISIS collusion in Syria — by proposing a bill to “Stop Arming the Terrorists.” Last month, Gabbard called on President Trump to “end the regime change in Syria,” adding that this is what is causing the refugee crisis. While some were hopeful that Trump may comply, after last week, all hope was lost.

    “For years, our government has been providing both direct and indirect support to these armed militant groups, who are working directly with or under the command of terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, all in their effort and fight to overthrow the Syrian government,” Gabbard said in an interview last month.

    Shortly after Gabbard proposed this monumental legislation, she received bipartisan support from Sen. Rand Paul. Paul, a Republican, and Gabbard, a Democrat, have symbolically joined hands in calling on the federal government to be more accountable with how and to whom it gives money and material support.

    The S. 532, the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, “Makes it illegal for any U.S. federal government funds to be used to provide assistance covered in the bill, including weapons, munitions, weapons platforms, intelligence, logistics, training, and cash, to terrorists.”

    Going further, the bill, “Prohibits the U.S. government from providing such assistance covered in the bill to any nation that has given or continues to give such support to terrorists.”

    Whether or not this bill will actually pass, or whether or not Trump will veto it after its passage, remains a mystery.

    However, thanks to WikiLeaks, US citizens now have a far clearer picture of what is going on, and who exactly, is supporting whom in Syria.

      1. Seen Assad in a clip on FOX. Shepard Smith said, “Don’t believe him, he is a liar”. Interesting commentary from the unbiased free press PRAVDA. In the meantime the US supporting ISIS, AQ “on our side” gets no reporting and hence traction.

        • DNA TESTS PROVE

          NORDICS HAVE VERY LITTLE VIKING OR ROMAN DNA

          THE RAPACIOUSNESS OF THE VIKINGS AND ROMANS IS ANOTHER LIE

          IN EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH REGARDLESS OF THE LAW WHEN YOU LOOK AT RACE THE CRIME RATE IS ALWAYS EXACTLY THE SAME

          ITS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE THE STONE AGE

          • Then there is Japan. 🙂

          • From that atricle

            ” General Eisenhower prohibited the German Public from sharing their own meager rations with detained German soldiers on pain of death. Hence from 1944 until 1948 a U.S. and Russian Holocaust for the Germans was on going. ”

            The war ended in may of 1945 and Eisenhower returned to the United States in November of that year.

            That article is filled with all kinds of factual errors and associations that make the very premise of the article highly questionable.

            FWIW, Eisenhower anticipated “Holocaust denial” during the short timehe was there and ordered extensive documentation of it, documentation that can be referred to today to affirm it took place.

        • Sorry Folkes but TRUMP is a FRAUD. Yep I got suckered into voting for him too, but he was the lesser of 2 evils.

          Well read this article.

          Trump Flips On Five Core Campaign Promises In Under 24 Hours link: ht tp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-04-12/trump-flips-five-core-key-campaign-promises-under-24-hours

          I don’t have time this AM to repost the 5 things, you can read the article for yourself, but I can add a few more things Trump has flip flopped on.

          6. Escalating the War in Syria,
          7. Failing to Prosecute Hillary
          8. Now Lifted the Ban of all Federal Hiring besides Military.
          9. Trump now Loves NATO, and before he wanted to pull out.
          10. Failed to drain the Swamp, and instead Filled the Swamp with more Evil Zionists.
          11. Said he was going to get along great with Russia and Putin, and we are now headed to WW3.

          There are more flip flops, I don’t have time to list. But help add few more yourself and make a full list of all Trumps Flip Flops.

          Trump is showing himself to be a Fraud and flipped on most campaign promises. New Boss same as the old boss.
          We are F@cked as usual.

          • Hermes, about Trump, to paraphrase and post on ZH once, ‘they showed him a clip from the JFK killing from a different angle’ and asked him, “any questions?” and he responds with, “how can I help?” 🙂

            Simple as that.

            • What is really pathetic is how each time some drip of proof comes out like this Hillary email- which has been around for awhile on the net? Every body raises the roof as if US support is just being discovered. WE HAVE KNOWN THIS SINCE 1980s AFGHANSTAN Mujahedin scam by Reagan. Then OBL scam of 911 and all his offshoots. Nobody recalls Abu Musab ZARAQAWI who was the Demomization of the Day during Iraq War 2? Known even then as CIA cutout?
              We keep reinventing the wheel… Its because disinfo alt media (which now comprises most outlets) keep peddling the 911 Wars as if each one is distinct, separate and UNRELATED to all the others!?! They are ALL War on Terror for Israel. Once we allowed DOD to rebrand their scam? We lost its continuity, history, beneficiaries and real cause. NO its not pipelines, dinar or oil (Syria’s oil is almost depleted). Certainly not about terror or we’d attacked Saudi Arabia right after 911. Its about eradicating ISRAELs enemies

          • Hermes, I hate to say it, but you’re right. He let himself get co-opted by the damn neocons. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Disgusting.

          • Yes we’re are screwed. I didn’t vote for either. I don’t want any evil. And I knew both would me trouble. I knew nothing would change with Hillary and I knew war was with Trump. Either way. Stay prepped that’s why we’re here. Everything his ran on he reverse in our face without no vasoline. So stay prepped. What did you do this week to be rrady?

          • You are an idiot!

        • Kevin2, let me rephrase what the Fox News talking head said. “Never believe the talking heads from any MSM outlet. They are all liars.”

        • This just in:

          It turns out there’s been corruption in government…

          Pfft! As if we haven’t had any idea.

        • Gee, Matt. What was your first clue? The e-mails? Or was it her 2008 public statements with Obama that ‘Assad must go’? Perhaps the fact that she and her puppetmaster in the WH orchestrated the overthrow of Libya’s and Egypt’s governments, among others in the Middle East, with Syria simply next in line – all to help establish their beloved Caliphate? Was it her being in bed with McCain and Graham on ‘moderates’ to fund and support? How about her surrounding herself with Muslim Brotherhood royalty, like the WH populated high level government positions with the same? Just because she’s compromised virtually every piece of classified info she had the remotes contact with is no reason to cast her out. After all, the American public came within a hair’s breadth of electing her POTUS. What’s your problem?

      2. Got rope?

        • Got Rode and Several very tall trees!!!!!
          Sgt.

          • got rope not rode DUH!!!!

            • It’s time to string some up. We’re way overdue for a good hanging.

              • It seems that we need to drop a MOAB on some others too.
                What do you think everyone ?
                Let’s hear some screams from them.

                • MOABs are a huge waste of taxpayer money IMO.

                  • BlackMoe, if they’re dropped on the RIGHT targets they’re worth every dime. Like Wall St., DC, Hollywood, CITY OF LONDON, etc.

                  • The Pentagon says they took out 80% of ISIS fighters in the area with that one bomb.

                    Cheap way to do it, IMO, and cheap isn’t a waste of money.

                    h t t p://pamelageller.com/2017/04/isis-suffering-big-losses-afghanistant-pentagon-ordered-hit.html/

              • Yep Hang you self why don’t you. Do us a favor. And one more favor. Can we quit using Hilary and Obama now. It going on 100 days guys. It’s yal shot deal with it or fix it. Thanks. Quit blaming for 4 yrs. Thanks.

        • BTW/ it was Hillary’s State Dept that ended the occupation in Iraq adnd eft all the weaponry for the Vacuum and ISIS to scoop upi and take to invade Syria. Everybody with a clue saw this FRAUD happening. And when the US military started air dropping more munitions and supplies directly to ISIS, in direct violation of US LAW, the handwriting was on the wall. Then Bengazi disaster happened and then Hillary used some medical excuse to quit her failed position at the State Dept. But also after she Gave Russia 20% of the US Uranium supplies for Bribes to the Clinton Foundation and the Podesta Brother connection. These POS Basturds all need to be sitting in a Prison cell to await a firing squad. Including Obama, who let this all happen. Traitors and Thieves.

          • Hermes, it would be gratifying to see every one of those scum get a bullet to the head. That’s what they really deserve.

      3. OK, its getting desperate now. Everyone with half sense knows this even millennials!

      4. Demand the USA get out of the middle east! Call, write, e-mail the white house and make this demand, show them we are not as dumb and compliant as they think we are. Also demand all aid to the middle east be stopped immediately. This is blatant in your face disrespect to the citizens of America. Trump is looking more like a turncoat everyday.

        • Better yet, stop feeding the beast and stop paying all Federal Taxes all together. The IRS can’t audit every America out there.

          • I would love to see that momentum build. That is truly the only way to shut down the machine.

      5. Finally and arrest with charges posted on Freedom Outpost:

        State Department employee Candace Marie Claiborne is facing charges of obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements to the FBI, both felony offenses, for allegedly concealing numerous contacts that she had over a period of years with foreign intelligence agents, according to a federal complaint that was unsealed at the end of March.

        Ms. Claiborne began working as an Office Management Specialist for the Department of State in 1999. She has served overseas at a number of posts, including embassies and consulates in Baghdad, Iraq, Khartoum, Sudan, and Beijing and Shanghai, China.

        According to a statement by the Justice Department:

      6. Even though those in the know (meaning us) knew about this i just got so furious reading this. It really makes me want to see Clinton and all the deep state traders hang from trees.

        • James

          “It really makes me want to see Clinton and all the deep state traders hang from trees.”

          This is going to continue. The deep state is imbedded so deep that the agencies are essentially rogue and working for them. I have no doubt that President Trump could issue an order and if it went too far out from the deep states goals it wouldn’t be carried out. What’s he going to do, say, “They won’t listen to me”? It actually happened post Beirut Marine Barracks bombing. President Reagan ordered a very large retaliatory strike. Admiral Lyons stated publicly that the order was never carried out. He said, “What or who is running the show”?

          • I listen to Bix Weir on youtube. His theory about the Fed and The Road to RootA comic the Boston Fed put out in the 80’s is very interesting. I hope he is right cause he says the good guys are winning but there still is some deep staters left to take out.

            • James

              “good guys are winning but there still is some deep staters left to take out.”

              For the life of me I don’t see it. One thing is happening is that more people are getting informed because its got so damn obvious. At one time they kept in the shadows, covertly operating trying not to risk exposure; now they don’t care. I assume that its because their control is so complete that they figure nothing will stop them.

              I’de love to be an optimist but my personal observations preclude it.

              • Its arrogance, you ever talk to any of these people? They are as arrogant as they come, better than all others in their own minds and are the end all be all of and reason for everyone els existance,,, they think they walk on water, i say put concrete boots on em and let em try,

              • I think they are coming out due to desperation. They are loosing and are running out of time before they completely loose the control they have. They no longer have time on their side and covert operations take more time.

                • erv,wish,pray,hope your right.But!!I’m leaning towards K2,they don’t care what we the people think.
                  Let’s see,the whole African continent is a mess!
                  The middle east is basically in chaos!
                  Part of Europe is flooded with ragheads!
                  Were arming up the rest Europe,in Russia backyard
                  Hell let’s not leave Asia out!
                  Keep sticking your nose in other peoples business,someone is going to break it!And people wonder why so many people hate us.
                  Be well all!
                  Maniac –out

              • Kevin2, I know that feeling all too well. I’m not optimistic either.

          • You got that right Kev.

          • Hang them ALL or more if you please. . . . . .

      7. To be honest…… I am more pissed off that that this EPA employee spent 15k for year long gym memberships for 50 people than I am that Hildog was/is supporting ISIS.

        I’d much rather see EPA and other government agency employees fired and see them starve and suffer than have Trump wipeout ISIS. If I had the choice…

        • Good point AZcats, I would add that I am more upset that Holder and Obola aren’t behind bars for their gun-running scandal that got people murdered, all to frame gun owners with an agenda for more illegal gun control.

          Add to that the Clintons for their drug smuggling crimes, pedo crimes, numerous murders, money laundering “Clinton Foundation” scam, etc…

          And Lois Lerner for her illegal abuse of power in the IRS.

          And so much more…

          We need more rope!!!

        • That government shutdown will hopefully happen and be the catalyst for a melt down,,,
          Its time, its way way beyond time, bring it on already.

        • This f’ing Gov’t is so amazingly crooked, incompetent and corrupt from top to bottom my fellow citizen patriots!

      8. Basically these USA are run by the CIA, an arm of the NWO.

        • NWO owned by Rothchilds. Remember, U cant have a war w/o banksters. Red Shields have been loaning to both sides for over 100 years.

      9. The government at all levels and on whatever artificial side of the isle they say they are from is corrupt and does not any longer represent the people, it represents special interest,
        And i mean at ALL levels.
        Bureaucrats need to be taught a lesson

      10. Let me get this straight. ISIS in Syria, friend. ISIS in Afghanistan, foe.
        Give me a drink already.

      11. fork-off with the in your face adverts here that force you to read shit just looing for the “piss off” link or i will stop coming here

        Stop being so folking rude and save the “running costs” BS

      12. And the Americans actually believed Hillary was going to be indicted under Trump….
        ISIS is another intelligence created big bad wolf just like Al-Qaeda.
        Intelligence agencies like the CIA, MI6, and Mossad recruit Arabic Muslims and use them to infiltrate groups of Muslims.
        These agents manipulate Muslims by attaching terrorist ideology to Islam.
        By using these agents in Muslim countries the Zionists can topple regimes at will.
        Zionist puppets like Obama and Hillary knew America was protecting and aiding
        ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
        Reagan sent Saddam Hussein chemical and biological weapons made in America.
        Reagan also illegally sent weapons to Iran and aided the Islamist Mujahideen in Afghanistan.
        The Zionists own your government America, and just like his predecessors Trump will make war profits great again!
        America, land of the fees and home of the slaves.

      13. So why is she not being PROSECUTED UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT THEN?

      14. Its time to bring these people to justice.

        • Yes, yes it is. I completely agree with you 100%. Folks, we all need to wake & see what in the world is going on with this country and all the quacks.

      15. Duh. WTH do you think was going on in Benghazi (missiles to our stated ENEMY) and why Obama and Hillary ALLOWED, yeah sorry liberal retard, ALLOWED those men to die.

        Because they didn’t want it out that the Obama admin was arming our stated enemy and is EXPLICITLY guilty of treason.

        • Benghazi is one of the most disgraceful events to ever take place!! This piss-poor Gov’t let those people be viciously attacked….Good old Crooked Killary & Barry Hussein NoPooper at work for you folks. Talk about 2 worthless cunt$ that deserve a tight rope around their no good for nothing necks.

          • After Benghazi I don’t understand how Obama, Hilary, and Comey can show their treacherous faces in public. They did not want to save those people. There were many scenarios in place to save them, but were denied. It was the most disgraceful event to ever have taken place.

      16. That black flag in the headline picture quite clearly says “Jews” on it.

      17. Hilary a crook? You could knock me over with a feather with that one!

      18. And then Trump drops the “Mother of all Distractions” bomb on Afghanistan. Have you ever seen so much television coverage for one conventional bomb? It’s too obvious now. Obama was portrayed as the weak president. Trump is portrayed as the strong president. Trump dropped a nothing burger on a small Syrian air base, and a whooper on ISIS in Afghanistan. Trump has an aircraft carrier group move near NoKo. If this follows the script, The North Koreans will back down, as planned with China and the US. Or black swan time. Seoul gets obliterated by the North and it’s on.

      19. “They hate us for our freedom.”

        When I heard that I said out loud “What!” I knew it was bs. But I didn’t know what the real reason was. Then when Bush put the whole Bin Laden family on a plane I said, “What”! I knew it was not Kosher. But I did not know why. A lawyer or detective or cop, I’m not sure who he was; he was interviewed and said the FBI questions all family members after a criminal has commited a crime. He was stunned by Bush’s shielding the family from being interrogated (questioned) by police and FBI.

        So much bs about Al Qeida. A crew of news people found Bin Laden but the government couldn’t find him, then two weeks later boom/crash/collapse 9/11. All bs.

        So now we need a law to tell us not to arm terrorists. Next thing you know we’ll get a law telling us to look both ways before crossing. This is bs, too. It is supposed to satisfy us that something is being done about the situation. When nothing is being done. There are already laws against treason. Arming America’s alledged enemies is treason. Or, is the truth that they are not and never were America’s enemies. Did they not participate in the planning and execution of the largest single attack on American soil? Or, is it just more bs?

        Hitlery is a Communist hippy spokesperson for the CFR and her and hubbies friends in the Deep State. She is smart and ruthless. It is no surprise she is taking down America. She’s been working for these Rothschilds for so long she thinks she is one. But she knows she’s expendable. That’s why she yells all the time. She’s afraid she’ll hang if the right people emerge from the shadows and truly take back America.

        __ it’s a disgrace and she is lucky she doesn’t hang, but hanging a former First Lady would be a bad idea no matter what she did. Put her under house arrest with Bill. That ought to be punishment enough for both of them! ??

        __

        • The Clintons and Obamas have bought estates in Qatar for their escape. Qatar is a Muslim country with a no extradition law. They probably know it’s only a matter of time, so they’ve prepared. Funny they should pick a Muslim country…….I guess that’s because they’ve been working for them so long.

      22. Is government accountable for Anything….

      23. …”‘Aid’ rebels in the Free Syrian Army” means “take them over”, by easily duping American people into thinking of the two as synonymous. This proves the powers-that-be’s creation of and use of “Al Qaida”, “ISIS” and such as CIA-esque agencies, created by the powers-that-be (that’s the ones who rule over you) to be used for such false-flag purposes–to co-opt real libertarian (freedom) movements (such as the Free Syrian Army) by infusing them with terroristic (governmental) elements and atrocities so as to denigrate them in the easily-duped, simplistic and bigoted minds of the American sheep herd. Now that “ISIS”‘ mission in Syria has been said to be “wrapped up” (unless the real Free Syrians have a resurgence in their overthrow of the West’s Big Oil governor of Syria–Assad), “ISIS” can now be used to conflate with American freedom advocates in order to denigrate them in the feeble and scared minds of American “snowflakes”, the go-along dog-pack who expect and depend on government (their captors) to “protect” them from anyone who their media (real “fake news”) sics them to bark at. Then, that dog-pack public’s pit bulls (their cops and military) can lunge at whomever they malign as being “terrorist”–the term that actually describes government, however– that the dog-pack has been whistled by their media to bark.

        • Anonymous:

          Thank you for the English lesson. Bravo. You nailed it down beautifully. I could not have put it into words if I tried, but you did it for those of us who have not been paying attention. All those bread and circuses, you know. The pleasant distractions that allow government to go about as they do, without most people having any idea what the heck is happening around them and to them.
