‘Trump’s Declaration Of War: 12 Things He Must Do For America To Be Great Again’
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-20/trumps-declaration-war-12-things-he-must-do-america-be-great-again
“President Trump’s brief inaugural speech was a declaration of war against the entirety of the American Ruling Establishment. All of it.
As Paul Craig Roberts details, Trump made it abundantly clear that Americans’ enemies are right here at home: globalists, neoliberal economists, neoconservatives and other unilateralists accustomed to imposing the US on the world and involving us in endless and expensive wars, politicians who serve the Ruling Establishment rather than the American people, indeed, the entire canopy of private interests that have run America into the ground while getting rich in the process.
If truth can be said, President Trump has declared a war far more dangerous to himself than if he had declared war against Russia or China…

‘The Clinton Foundation: Largest Unprosecuted Criminal Global Charity Fraud and Conspiracy Ever’
“Charles Ortel, the respected Wall Street analyst who uncovered grave financial discrepancies at GE before its stock crashed in 2008 alleges with particularity and thorough documentation through relentless research and investigation that the Clinton Foundation and its myriad subsidiaries, versions and iterations have committed a number of flagrant irregularities in its tax records and are violating existing charitable, financial disclosure and IRS regulations, laws and statutes. The degree of criminality is breathtaking.
With a nonpareil tenacity Ortel has analyzed with a take-no-prisoners ferocity the “charity” operations of Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Bonnie and Clyde of charity fraud, known collectively as the Clinton Foundation and its myriad tentacles. Ortel’s indefatigable efforts to expose the Clinton corruption machine have resulted in an indictment of the Clintons (figurative, for now) that will boggle the mind.
Wall Street on Parade notes that in a nine-page letter posted to his blog, Ortel calls the Clintons’ charity the “largest unprosecuted charity fraud ever attempted,” adding for good measure that the Clinton Foundation is part of an “international charity fraud network whose entire cumulative scale (counting inflows and outflows) approaches and may even exceed $100 billion, measured from 1997 forward.” Ortel lists 40 potential areas of fraud or wrongdoing that he plans to expose over the coming days. ”
