Leid Stories—High-Level U.S. Intelligence Operatives Mount Opposition to Clintons’ ‘Civil Coup’ of U.S. Government. Hillary’s Presidential Run, Clinton Foundation in the Crosshairs—11.03.16

In an almost surreal Election 2016 development, a former deputy assistant secretary of state announced yesterday that high-level operatives in the U.S. intelligence community, outraged by a Clinton-orchestrated “coup” of the U.S. government through “corruption, cooptation and cronyism,” as of yesterday began a “countercoup” to torpedo Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid and dislodge an entrenched Clinton-directed shadow government.

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Steve Pieczenik said that recent and ongoing releases by WikiLeaks of damning documents about the Clinton empire are from many in the U.S. intelligence community opposed to what he called the Clintons’ “civil coup” of the U.S. government. Pieczenik cited The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation in his statement about the kind of lawlessness the intelligence group aims to expose and stop. 

Leid Stories looks at this stunning development in light of our ongoing series on the Clinton Foundation. Charles Ortel, a former Wall Street financial analyst and leading expert on the foundation’s operations, calls “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in history.” He returns as our guide through the Clinton billion-dollar “charity” boondoggle, which he has been probing for about two years.

Leid Stories—Even More on the Clinton Foundation’s Massive Charity Fraud —11.02.16

Leid Stories continues its series exposing how the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation and its various affiliated pseudocharities have been the hub of a what former Wall Street financial analyst and leading expert on the foundation’s operations calls “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in history.”

Thousands of emails and documents from foundation executives and other key players are being released daily by WikiLeaks. They appear to confirm Ortel’s self-initiated, two-year-old investigation.

Ortel blew the whistle on stock fraud on Wall Street prior to the 2007-2008 crash. The extent of fraud in the Clinton Foundation, he says, is of similar magnitude in the world of philanthropy.

Leid Stories—The ‘Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy’ Had Called It Early on the Clintons; New Bombshells on the Clinton Foundation’s Charity Fraud —11.01.16

Back in 1998, when Bill Clinton was into his second term as president, Hillary Clinton famously blamed a “vast, right-wing conspiracy” for propagating a series of scandals that were meant to tarnish the sterling reputations and characters of the White House’s two main occupants and turn the people against them. The Clintons still profess this to be true, pointing to a torrent of unflattering, even sensational, headlines and news coverage they’ve had to endure. But they always could depend on the mainstream media to blunt harsh criticism.

As Leid Stories has noted, many of the issues that have now become central to Hillary Clinton’s candidacy were raised not by major “liberal” media, but by right-of-center and independent, unapologetically partisan news outlets. Dr. Jerome Corsi, a senior investigative reporter with the right-leaning WND.com (formerly World Net Daily), is among them. He discusses some of the stories about the Clintons that would not have seen the light of day were it not for news outlets determined to break the hegemony of “liberal” media on national politics.

More bombshell news about the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation and its various affiliated pseudocharities—and it’s very, very bad.

Charles Ortel, former Wall Street financial analyst and recognized leading expert on the   Clinton Foundation, reveals new findings about the foundation’s illegal operations, and discusses criminal probes that have been launched, both within the United States and by several foreign governments, to track down where billions of dollars went.

Ortel calls the foundation “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in history.”

Leid Stories—Dr. Gerald Horne’s Radical Guide to Understanding Election 2016 and What’s Next—10.31.16

Election 2016, with its constant and dramatic twists and turns, is one of the most contentious elections in U.S. history. Nov. 8, Election Day, will not bring an end to the drama; it will only be a marker for a fresh start to political mayhem and turmoil. 

Historian and political scientist Dr. Gerald Horne brings radical clarity about the messy presidential election, its domestic and global impacts, and what we’re learning about the state of nonmainstream politics in the United States.

Horne, the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston and prolific author of more than 30 books and 100 scholarly papers on struggles against imperialism, colonialism, fascism and racism, regularly decodes complex social, political and economic issues on Leid Stories.

Leid Stories—Haiti: Official Report Says Obama, Security Council Backing U.N.’s Denial of Responsibility for Cholera Outbreak—10.27.16

Kim Ives, co-founder and editor in chief of the English-language division of Haïti Liberté, an international news weekly, discusses a scathing report by U.N. special rapporteur Philip Alston that condemns the United Nations for denying responsibility for a cholera epidemic that has ravaged Haiti since 2010, and blames the Security Council and the Obama administration in particular for shielding the United Nations from blame.

Poor health and sanitation habits of U.N.-supervised troops assigned to Haiti after a 7.0-magnitude earth leveled several parts of the country introduced a unique strain of cholera in Haiti that claimed almost 10,000 lives and infected 7 percent of the population. After Hurricane Matthew, cholera cases are once again on the rise. 

A new cache of Clinton Foundation emails released by WikiLeaks leaves no doubt that its highest-level executives, including the Clintons, knew that they and the megacharity were in flagrant violation of the law, but were making so much money with their pay-to-play formula, they found no reason to go straight.

Charles Ortel, former Wall Street financial analyst and recognized leading expert on the  Clinton Foundation, adds a new chapter to his self-initiated, two-year probe of the foundation and its operations, which he calls “the largest unprosecuted charity fraud in history.”

Leid Stories—Election 2016: 16 Days to … What?—10.26.16

With D-Day just 16 days away, Leid Stories “polls” listeners’ state of mind about the election; if/how they are likely to vote; how media coverage might have shaped their views and decisions; and how “third” parties and independent movements will fare at the polls.

Leid Stories—Still in the Closet: Hillary Clinton’s Unexplained Health Problems—10.25.16

Years before she declared her candidacy for president, Hillary Clinton’s health was of concern to her family and those in her inner circle. She had had several major health setbacks and experienced symptoms of serious medical conditions—including sudden falls, concussions from those falls, potentially fatal blood clots, sustained double vision, frequent fainting, coughing fits, seizures and hypothyroidism. Team Clinton, only when the media inquired, would say Clinton is improving and looking forward to being back soon.

Clinton’s dramatic and alarming exit last month from the 9/11 commemoration in Lower Manhattan—ostensibly due to “dehydration” and, later, to “pneumonia”—brought out in the open longstanding concerns about her health that had been stuffed in the political-expediency closet, lest they give life to questions about medical “fitness to rule.” 

Several in the medical field have been raising questions about Clinton’s health, pointing generally beyond physiological issues and more toward neurological effects of the known health setbacks Clinton has suffered that could affect her brain function—including ability to think and reason, memory, making sound judgment, etc. Such findings will disqualify a presidential candidate from holding office.

Dr. Ted Noel, who has spent 32 years working in critical care and anesthesia and 10 years as the medical director of a surgical center, independently has been producing a series (VidZette.com) on what he says is evidence that Hillary Clinton is suffering with neurological problems, displaying symptoms very often seen in people with Parkinson’s disease.

Leid Stories—New WikiLeaks Docs Reveal Even More Clinton Foundation Turmoil and Money-Grubbing Scams—10.24.16

Charles Ortel, former Wall Street financial analyst and leading expert on the Clinton Foundation, discusses more evidence of what he calls “bright-line” fraud by the charity and its multiple affiliates. The new bombshell revelations are based on thousands of insider emails and related documents released by WikiLeaks over the weekend.

He also discusses the growing concern among foreign governments that had contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to various Clinton Foundation projects that their donations have either not yet been accounted for or might have been redirected for purposes they did not intend.
