Exclusive: 50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked
Note the last two paragraphs we excerpt. Being a lefty news outlet (The Daily Beast) it’s not at all surprising they’d want to get those comments in. However, the two situations are quite different and the “allegations” of 2002, 2003 don’t account for the fact that other countries’ intelligence services were reporting the same information on Iraq’s WMD potential.
But that’s the Obama narrative and they’re sticking with it…of course.
More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned.
The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.
The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said. . . .
“No, I don’t think we’re losing,” President Obama said in May.
Yet a growing group of intelligence analysts persisted with their complaints. For some, who have served at CENTCOM for more than a decade, scars remained from the run-up to the 2003 war in Iraq, when poorly written intelligence reports suggesting Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, when it did not, formed the basis of the George W. Bush administration’s case for war.
“They were frustrated because they didn’t do the right thing then” and speak up about their doubts on Iraq’s weapons program, the defense official told The Daily Beast.

Border Patrol Chief: Only 40% of Border is Under ‘Operational Control’
From PJ Tatler
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told a congressional committee that less than half the border is under “operational control.” He also testified that about one in five illegal immigrants caught at the border have a criminal record.
While the president says the border has never been more secure, Judd’s testimony exposes the immigration crisis and places it in stark relief. In short, 60% of the American border is made of Swiss cheese and government pronouncements about how secure it is aren’t worth squat.

Arctic Has Gained Hundreds Of Miles Of Ice The Last Three Years
Wasn’t president Obama just in Alaska, scaring people, blaming loss of “perma-frost” on man-made global warming and using it to call for drastic policies? From Steve Goddard’s real Science:
The Arctic has gained hundreds of miles of ice over the past three years, much of which is thick, multi-year ice.
Nobel Prize winning climate experts and journalists tell us that the Arctic is ice-free, because they are propagandists pushing an agenda, not actual scientists or journalists.

Coddling Castros Has Made Cuban Regime More Vicious Than Ever
How would it be possible for Pope Francis to make it any clearer that he is an all-in supporter of communist dictators, and is, himself, a devout Marxist?
His visit is going to be a week long celebration of Communism, global government, and oppression under the guise of “concern for the poor”. From Investor’s Business Daily:
Cuba’s dictatorship has cracked down harder than ever on dissidents at a time when high-ranking leaders, political pilgrims and tourists are paying tribute to the regime in droves. Who will stand for freedom? . . .
Having won such legitimization, it’s passing strange that far from loosening up, the Castro brothers are cracking down on Cubans harder than ever. It’s as if to say the fresh attention to their island is a perk for them alone, and the Cuban people not invited. . . .
Castro’s secret police have arrested 4,264 dissidents for political reasons so far in 2015, according to the unofficial Cuban Commission on Human Rights Reconciliation. That squares with Hablemos Press agency’s 782 arrests counted in August, topping the 506 arrested in July and 617 in May, in the highest numbers of the year

Hidden Cameras Capture Clinton Campaign Staff in Nevada not Only Skirting the Law but Mocking it
From the investigators / whistle-blowers at Project Veritas (no connection)
In this latest video, Christina Gupana, a Las Vegas attorney and Hillary for America Fellow, counsels fellow campaign workers in Nevada that they should “do whatever you can, whatever you can get away with just do it.”
We uncovered a clear theme within the Nevada Clinton campaign, when it comes to the law: ask for forgiveness not permission. Phillip Kim, a staff organizer for Hillary for America was captured on hidden camera saying: “ask for forgiveness not for permission. Courtney Kravitz, a Hillary for America Fellow was caught stating to one of Project Veritas Action’s undercover journalists that “I mean we kind of abide by the like ask for forgiveness type of thing.” And Harrison Lee, another Hillary for America Fellow was caught on hidden camera admitting: “Typically the style of campaigning that we do is like, we just ask, do they support Hillary Clinton. And if we’re not allowed to do that, then we ask for forgiveness.”
