A French cement company based in the northeastern countryside of Aleppo province is buying fuel and oil from the Islamic State, documents obtained by Zaman al-Wasl showed.
The data, emails and documents revealed that Lafarge Cement Syria has been buying fuel from ISIS, besides negligence of safety procedures for the 2500 workers in the factory, as well as using dangerous chemical can be used for making explosives and fuel for rockets, added to discrimination in paying ransoms of millions of pounds to free Alawite abducted workers, ignoring other abductees.
Frederic Jolibois, CEO at Lafarge Cement Syria, refused to comment on the summary letter sent by Zaman Al Wasl, "our company does not reply to rumors and guessing" confirming that Lafarge was keen to protect workers and safty was their priority, therefore they had evacuated to plant situated in Jalibeh town, 160 km away from Aleppo, in September 2014.
Zaman Al Wasl opens an investigation about Lafarge Cement Syria company and publishes it in parts, in this part concentrating on the relationship between the company and the Islamic State and the mediators between both of them. Lafarge is a French industrial company specialising in three major products: cement, construction aggregates, and concrete.

On July 15, the new company was officially launched around the globe under the name of Lafarge-Holcim, creating a new leader in the Building Materials sector. It has 2500 factory around the world in 90 countries worth a profit of $32 billion a year, the number of worker reaches to 115 thousand workers.

[Oberver] LaFarge CEO Frederic Jolibois may have negotiated with ISIS in order to continue doing business in Syria.
One of the most troubling revelations exposed by Wikileaks has been completely ignored by mainstream media. On August 1, Wikileaks shared an article on Twitter from a French publication which outlined the connections between LaFarge, a French company linked to funding ISIS in Syria, and Hillary Clinton.
"Apart from being a regular donor to the Clinton Foundation, Clinton herself was a director of Lafarge in the early 1990s, and did legal work for the firm in the 1980s," The Canary reported on July 29.
In June 2016, one of France’s most well-known publications, Le Monde, released an investigative report accusing LaFarge of making payments to ISIS. The connection was first made in February 2016, when a Syrian opposition publication revealed emails and documents it obtained from LaFarge, implicating CEO Frederic Jolibois negotiated with ISIS in order for the company to continue doing business in Syria.
Between 1990 and 1992, Clinton served on Lafarge’s Board of Directors. "Shortly before Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992, Lafarge was fined $1.8 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for pollution violations at its Alabama plant. A year later, the Clinton administration reduced that fine to less than $600,000," reported The Washington Post in 2007. While Clinton served on the board for Lafarge, the company was embroiled in controversy over its use of hazardous waste to fuel its U.S. cement plants.
Wikileaks also recently tweeted a link to an email between Clinton and her aide, Cheryl Mills, outlining a brag sheet of how deeply involved Clinton was with the regime change in Libya while she served as secretary of state. The political vacuum that intervention caused in Libya was cited by President Obama as the biggest mistake of his presidency, in which the country has become a haven for ISIS and other terrorist organizations to thrive.
Despite criticism, Hillary Clinton has attempted to distort her role in Libya into endearing foreign policy experience and has downplayed the disaster in Libya. "You know, the United States was in Korea--and still is--for many years. We are still in Germany. We are still in Japan. We have a presence in a lot of places in the world that started out as a result of conflict," she said during a CNN presidential town hall in February 2016, dismissing the notion that Libya was an immense failure on her part.
Wikileaks’ Julian Assange has been a vocal opponent of Clinton’s foreign policies. "I have had years of experience in dealing with Hillary Clinton and have read thousands of her cables. Hillary lacks judgement and will push the United States into endless, stupid wars which spread terrorism," he wrote in a statement posted on Wikileaks in February 2016. "Her personality combined with her poor policy decisions have directly contributed to the rise of ISIS."
Assange recently claimed Wikileaks will release emails implicating Clinton in arming jihadists (ISIS) to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-Assad, before the Benghazi controversy.
Since the Democratic convention has ended, mainstream media has reverted its attention almost exclusively to Donald Trump. Three additional, prominent DNC staffers formally resigned in the wake of the DNC email scandal, yet the content of the DNC emails--and those released by Guccifer 2.0, further corroborating the DNC’s collusion with the Clinton campaign--are receiving only a fraction of the attention warranted.
The recent DNC resignations may be in anticipation of more releases from Wikileaks, likely to incite further controversy over the DNC’s role in securing the Democratic presidential nomination for Hillary Clinton. During the Democratic convention, it was reported that both the Clinton campaign and other Democratic Party organizations were hacked. The Clinton campaign and the DNC have largely blamed Russia for the hacks in an attempt to distract from the content of the leaks.
The worst is yet to come for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.

If Hillary loses in November ISIS will have to hit the US hard on December before Trump takes control in January. 10,000 Syrians arrive December 1 with Obamas blessing. That is the group ISIS and Al Qaida will have many people mixed on with.
Stop that December 1 influx.

[HEATST] Fairfax City Mayor R. Scott Silverthorne, a supporter of Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Liberatress of Libya and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Charles Evans Hughes ... , was tossed in the slammer Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! Thursday after allegedly giving methamphetamine to an undercover police officer in exchange for sex.
Silverthorne, who has been mayor of Fairfax since 2012, was announced as a member of "Mayors for Hillary" back in February of this year.
The city of Fairfax is located in Fairfax County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and one of the richest counties in the country. The 50-year-old mayor was arrested at a hotel in nearby Tysons Corner.
According to Fairfax County police, they encountered Silverthorne after learning of an individual who was distributing meth through a website used to arrange male-on-male sexual encounters.
An undercover detective created a profile on the site and was contacted by Silverthorne, who said he could provide meth in exchange for sex. They arranged to meet at a hotel, where Silverthorne was arrested for felony distribution of methamphetamine.
Silverthorne is also reportedly a substitute teacher in the Fairfax County Public School system.

Not that the Democrats see anything wrong with the male-on-male sexual encounters thing.

Drag a meth pipe through a bath house and see what comes out.
[LATIMES] Friday could have marked the end of what has been arguably the best week of Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Timothy Pickering ... ’s campaign.
Coming off a successful Democratic convention, combined with some of the most pronounced Republican infighting to date, Clinton took a commanding lead over GOP rival Donald Trump, both in national and many swing state polls.
But instead of capitalizing on the momentum, she tripped up again on her political Achilles’ heel -- emails -- before an audience she has kept at arm’s length over the last 16 months -- journalists.
Speaking at a gathering of black and Latino news hounds and editors in Washington, Clinton struggled to reconcile her previous public statements about the handling of sensitive information over a private email server with the critical assessment offered by the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Over the course of nearly four and a half minutes, Clinton first feinted toward acknowledging a recent misstatement, saying she offered a "short-circuited" response in a Fox News interview last weekend by suggesting FBI Director James B. Comey had concluded that her public statements about her use of a private email server while secretary of State were truthful. Comey had only said there was no evidence that she had lied to the FBI during its investigation into the matter.
Clinton attributed the confusion to miscommunication, explaining that she had intended to say that her statements in public were no different than those she had made to the FBI.
"What we have here is pretty much what I have been saying throughout this whole year. And that is, that I never sent or received anything that was marked classified," she said again Friday.
But critics say that statement does not square with reality the FBI findings.

But ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, PBS, CNN all said she had a commanding lead and Trump was doomed and that I might as well give up and throw in with Hillary and vote for her (sarc).

Corrections and clarifications happen later so that her followers can find a YouTube clip clear of facts if necessary to bolster their claims when debating the uninformed.

Her "bounce" was a dead cat's bounce and a bunch of cooked polls, not just in the sampling but how the samples were weighted to favor the democratic responses...lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics...
[CNN] Donald Trump is expected to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... on Friday, moving to mend an intra-party rift that has put the Republican presidential nominee at odds with its highest-ranking elected official.
Trump's endorsement of Ryan would come at an 8 p.m. ET rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, two sources said.
The move comes just days ahead of Ryan's Tuesday primary matchup with challenger Paul Nehlen, who has played up Trump's refusal to back the speaker -- as well as Ryan's tepid support for Trump.
It's not clear that Ryan is keen to receive Trump's endorsement. He repeatedly told Wisconsin radio stations in recent days that he's only seeking endorsements from the voters in his district, and a Ryan aide said he hadn't received word as of early Friday afternoon of Trump's plans.

What's in the water or WTF? Repubs must have a death wish. Is there anyone in the pub party with a rational brain? Is there anyone in politics that is not a nutcase? Rhetorical question. Welcome to the fourth turning, the crisis.

I'd bet that Netanyahu would like to bitch slap some sense into the narcissistic arrogant community organizer who doesn't know shit from Shinola and has never done anything that he didn't screw it up.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] February documentary that aired on Iranian state-run TV shows nighttime flight, pallet of cash matching prisoner-swap scenario reported this week
Donald Trump claimed three times this week that he had seen similar footage and that Iran had filmed the cash transfer to embarrass America
He walked back that claim Friday morning, saying he had only seen archival footage of a different plane delivering hostages safely to Geneva
He may have been right without knowing it: Propaganda broadcast shows the images and boasts the deal was great for Iran but terrible for the U.S.

It was a ransom and it was in cash.
Further why was it in Euros and Swiss Francs...to make it hard to trace and harder to use to identify recipients.
Aha, so the empty suit in the White House is now funding Hezbollah and Al Quds?
If it were $USD we could track it pretty easily but I don't think we could record the serial number on all of these bills in such a short period of time.
And why are we just finding out about this? It happened in January?? The news makes it sound like it was last week...convenient way of keeping the bad news out of the way until after the DNC.

that's how we do all our foreign aid. No, really. John Kirby Former DOD and now State lying spokeshole said so. What a tool. I bet everyone he encountered in his career climb hated his guts
