FWIW: Declassified Documents: CIA Helped Fund al-Qaeda via Afghan Government
23:02 14.03.2015(updated 11:02 15.03.2015)
Documents declassified at a trial of a suspected terrorist show that millions of dollars in CIA funds fell into the hands of al Qaeda in 2010. The money was used by Afghan officials in a ransom payment.
It’s deja vu all over again, Yogi Berra might say. Once again, US money funneled through the CIA into the Middle East has ended up being used against… well, the US. Correspondence made public at the trial of Abid Naseer, a Pakistani al-Qaeda operative convicted in Brooklyn of supporting terrorism and conspiring to bomb a British shopping center. They were originally obtained by federal authorities in the famous raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by Seal Team Six in which the US’s most wanted was killed.
In this particular case, the money was used by Afghanistan to retrieve one of their diplomats who had been abducted by al-Qaeda. At $5 million, the ransom for Abdul Khaliq Farahi, Afghanistan’s soon-to-be ambassador to Pakistan, was too high for Kabul. So, they raided a bank account holding CIA money used to make cash payments to the president, Hamid Karzai, a capricious US ally.
The funds were obtained by al-Qaeda after a successful series of drone campaigns had decimated much of their ranks. However, the money would imbue a new life into the organization and likely went to buy new caches of weapons.
Abid Naseer who is on trial in Brooklyn accused of supporting al-Qaeda
“Allah blessed us with a good amount of money this month,” al-Qaeda official Atiyah Abd al-Rahman wrote in a letter to Osama bin Laden.
Bin Laden responded with caution. Apparently concerned about the source of the money, he suggested it could be a CIA trap and warned that the cash might have been poisoned or laced with radiation or that it might have a tracking device. The al-Qaeda leader suggested exchanging the funds for other currencies twice at two different banks.
The US maintains a policy that the country does not pay ransoms. Such policy led to the recent beheadings and deaths by other means of several US citizens by the so-called Islamic State, or ISIL. Ironically, often money and weapons the US has supplied to American “allies” in the Middle East, such as the Karzai government, often seem to find their way into the hands of the very organizations the US is fighting.
Despite learning about the misuse of these particular funds, the CIA continued dropping off bags of cash at the presidential palace every month until President Hamid Karzai stepped down just last year.

ralf r22I have a hard time believing this since her highness has been anointed to be the next president. really? obama hates the clintons so much he would deliberately sabotage his own uber left wing party from winning in 2016? unless they are so delusional to think that somebody to the left of hillary could win? this guy even says they would prefer so see a republican as president rather than see hillary? come on people, this guy is just out to sell books. I remember in 2008 some guy wrote a book about how bill clinton had all these women in every city and how this was going to come out and derail hillary cause it would be so humiliating and nothing ever came of it. conspiracy theories are usually all BS. and before people attack me, I utterly detest obama, and no not because of what chris mathews says that I must therefore be a racist, but because he’s just been the worst president in so many ways, I am a total and complete converted ex ex ex democrat since 2003 and would never, ever vote for another one ever again.

Steven013Jarrett has been and will continue to be Obamas lap dog just like Holder,Rice and Sharpton. This has been the most corrupt administration in the last 50 years and time will bear it out. I am shocked that more patriots in this administration have not come forward especially in the IRS and State Dept. How these spokes persons get get up and lie and decieve the American people is beyond me.

New Olympic event, Machiavellian Toss where the Narcissist-in-Chief destroys his own party out of loathing of a very deserving femnot. The real nitty-gritty will be if the DOJ pursues charges against Killary. obola could kill 3, 4, maybe 5 birds with one stone or indictment if you prefer. I knew almost from the beginning it was the WH behind these allegations. Ask yourself why?, why now? The Clintons have always been masters at sleazeball politics and now they have Bathhouse Saddam Hussein Obama returning some well deserved karma at them by maybe the most vicious of them all, Valerie who by the way is so mean she made Moochelle sit up and beg.

Wow, paybacks in a gentleman’s game! They are playing like bloods and cryps now! Shoot the frontrunner down, down to the ground! If this is true then I have not given Obummer any credit. He is worthless but this is slightly redeeming. He really is on his own, entirely. Talk about a guy who acts on emotion. Not good for a President but great if you can’t stand Hillary like I do. He is doing the country a great favor. Hillary would be the nail in the coffin for this country. We are getting buried now but might be able to escape death if she is not running the country.
Of course there are many conservatives that would be better than Hillary and Obama is barely honest enough to admit it. Now what if this is news to Obama too? What if he finds out on FOX News because he was out playing golf? What if he just found out like the rest of us? Does he knock off Valerie and the Clinton’s knock off this writer? Who knocks off who? Chicago style politics meet Arkansas!
By by Clinton’s, bye bye Dems in the White House. It was going to happen anyways but this makes it much easier. Now to push some more Dems out of the Senate and Congress, then we could really get some positive work done to get this country firmly back on top of the ROW!
Maybe Obummer is setting up a run for Eric Holder. Now that would be disgusting criminal politics at its finest wouldn’t it!?!

They had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. Animal Farm Chapter 7.

Valerie Jarrett, the real President, is running Obama’s sabotage campaign, his lies and cover ups regarding all his scandals. She is the most powerful woman in America. If you watch Obama speak? You can actually see her hand up his backside pushing the mouth buttons.

charlemagne223Mark R Levin said that on his radio show, he was the first to say it was an inside job. As usual, he was right.

Although I’m chuckling a bit over this cat fight in the democratic party, I have to point to the similarity between the the Clinton/Obama unholy Wars and the Shia/Sunni holy wars. In both battles I have to keep in mind that “the enemy of my enemy” in both of these cases are in fact still my enemy.

Margie21No snitch has ever been rewarded. She will have her twenty minutes in the spotlight, but it looks like Valerie’s career is over.

The big problem started because the Clintons refused to convert to Islam and join Jarrett and Obama.
