JAILED SAS SNIPER WALKS FREE

Sergeant Danny Nightengale thanks the "great British public" after winning appeal

We were all pulling for you over here Danny - S.L.




Jailed SAS sniper Danny Nightingale walked free after his 18 month sentence was suspended following a successful appeal. Earlier this month after he admitted illegally possessing a Glock 9mm pistol and more than 300 rounds of ammunition.

Judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London have cut the term to 12 months and said it should be suspended. They said he could be released immediately.

Outside the court, 37-year-old Sgt Nightingale thanked his wife and backers for their "trust and support". He also thanked the "great British public" and said he was "humbled" by the reaction to his plight.

His wife Sally, 38, said she was "very, very happy" and "delighted".

Mrs Nightingale, who earlier wept at the judges' verdict, said: "We fought for this for the last three weeks and we got justice today and I thank everybody in that court and the public."


I'm guessing we have not heard the last of Sergeant Danny Nightengale, and I would not be surprised in the least if I encounter him in my journeys across the Pond. Godspeed, Sergeant Nightengale . . .

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS

Anonymous Hacker Looking at 30 Years to Life

















Jeremy Hammond

According to the indictment filed in March, Hammond illegally obtained credit card information stolen from Stratfor and uploaded it to a server that was unbeknownst to him maintained by the federal government. Months earlier the FBI had arrested Hector Xavier Monsegur, a New York hacker who spearheaded LulzSec under the alias “Sabu,” and relied on from thereon out to help the authorities nab other individuals affiliated with Anonymous and LulzSec. The feds say Hammond openly admitted to compromising Stratfor’s data in online chats with their informant and unsealed a three count indictment against him relating to hacking back in March.


Comment: This dirtbag is the face of sociopath misfits who cause so much wanton chaos & destruction to military, government and business security operations, costing private citizens in anti-virus software, overhead to financial services and in the end more to our tax burden. I hope they go after and round up all these miscreants, lock them up and throw away the keys. Or better yet, send them to Guantanamo and let them hang out with their partners-in-crime the terrorists because thats what they are when you really get down to it. First order of business is get this piece of crap a haircut and have him deloused; then move on the rest of the worthless ones with too much time on their hands.

"That's my story and I'm sticking to it."

THE HONEY TRAP

British Scientist Gets Five Years in Agentina Jail in 'Honey Trap' Drug Smuggling Case

This poor guy courted Ms. Milani for almost 3 months online, only to have his dreams of a heavenly breast-filled retirement come crashing down, and hard.


Now he's looking at five years in one of Argentina's toughest jails.


Video and more photos at: Professor Paul Frampton Convicted in Denise Milani 'Honey Trap' Case


A beautiful big-breasted woman will get you every time.

Amazing how a scientist could get sucked into such a honey trap.

Understandable, though, to become mesmerized by a rack of that size.

Sheesh.


Professional Comment: This is an angle on cyber scams that I warn my clients against. In this situation, it's a combination of the classic honey trap, virtual kidnapping and tiger kidnapping;

They lured him with a beautiful woman, of course - the Honey Trap. I always tell them; if you're in a bar or a hotel lobby, and you suddenly become the object of fascination to the most beautiful woman you have ever seen in your life - ALARM BELLS SHOULD BE RINGING IN YOUR HEAD ! ! !

This guy's lucky he didn't wake up in a hotel room missing a kidney, because that's one of the latest angles they're using beautiful women for as bait down south. A kidney will get you up to 25K on the black market.

"Virtual Kidnapping" is where you get an email or a phone call saying they got your husband / wife / son / daughter - whatever - send money. In reality it's a scam - your loved one isn't even there, and you're sending money to a bunch of scam artists. The key thing is to ask a proof of life question, like, "Ask my (loved one) where we went for vacation last year?"

Tiger kidnapping is where they hold a loved one and make you do a crime - often involving transporting drugs.

In this case, they lured the sucker down there with the Denise Milani bait - he had to be an absolute IDIOT to fall for that. Then, they met him at the other end; no babe but here, take this suitcase to her in Argentina - this is where he CONFIRMED he's an idiot. Total lack of situational awareness at every stage of the game.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF . . . CREEPY

Obama Youth Brigade Hand Gesture:





From the history books, it turns out that the "Sign of Progress" was borrowed from none other than Adolf Hitler himself. This was found at German Propaganda Archive; the photo is described on that site:


"The hands of the Führer organize his speech. This picture captures Hitler's hands as he speaks of the unity of the National Socialist and socialist ideas."


Nice work, sheeple. You got played.


Again.

THE JAILING OF A HERO

SAS Sergeant Danny Nightingale has been jailed for possessing a “war trophy” pistol presented to him by the Iraqi Army for outstanding service.




Sgt Danny Nightingale is a British Special Forces sniper who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was sentenced to 18 months in military detention by a court martial, the week before Remembrance Sunday (11 November - Veterans Day here in the US).

Nightingale's sentence was described as the “betrayal of a war hero”, At his court martial, even the prosecution described him as a serviceman of exemplary character, who had served his country for 17 years, 11 in the special forces.

The court was told that he returned to Britain in a hurry after two friends were killed in Iraq, leaving his equipment — including the pistol — to be packed up by colleagues.

The soldier’s former commanding officer and politicians have called for the sentence to be overturned.

Lt Col Richard Williams, Sgt Nightingale’s commanding officer in Iraq, said the sentence “clearly needed to be overturned immediately”.

He said: “His military career has been ruined and his wife and children face being evicted from their home — this is a total betrayal of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country.”

Patrick Mercer, the Conservative MP for Newark and a former infantry officer, said he planned to take up the case with the Defence Secretary. Simon McKay, Sgt Nightingale’s lawyer, said: “On Remembrance Sunday, when the nation remembers its war heroes, my client — one of their number — is in a prison cell.

"I consider the sentence to be excessive and the basis of the guilty plea unsafe. It is a gross miscarriage of justice and grounds of appeal are already being prepared.”

In His Own Words

In a moving letter to his wife, Sgt Danny Nightingale tells of his disbelief at being imprisoned by the country to which he dedicated his life to serving.




In the letter to his wife Sally, Sgt Nightingale writes: “I have often written to you from wherever I have served but never thought I’d be writing to you from prison let alone one in England.

“I was prepared for anything when I went on operations. I knew that there was always the chance that I might say goodbye and not return. It comes with the job and I accepted that.

“But of all of the things I thought might happen, I never expected to be locked away by the country I’ve dedicated my life to serving.”

This was sent in from a fellow veteran. The UK and the great Commonwealth Nations are our closest allies and our greatest friends in the world, and the SAS has been through thick and thin with us. Now one of their guys who risked it all when our nation asked, is being hung up to dry for a rule that most Americans - especially those of who hold the Second Amendment near & dear - will find sickening.

Danny Nightingale is getting an appeal next week but there are no guarantees. When I see this taken to one of our own - including the Brits - I want to see that justice prevails.

Spread the word far & wide . . .

THE EXPLOITATION OF DAVID PETRAEUS

Now that the dust has settled on the Petraeus thing, let us revisit.


Bottom Line Up Front: The Petraeus Affair is part of the Obama Administration's cover of the whole Benghazi mess - that one of our overseas missions was attacked by al Qaeda on the anniversary of 9/11, and that rescue forces were ordered to stand down in order to avoid a failed operation ala Carter's hostage rescue. Such a disaster could have cost Obama the Presidency.

Hence the pervasive myth of the attack being a mob infuriated by an anti-Muslim video posted on YouTube. We know from the timeline of events in Benghazi on September 11th that this is not so.



Incredibly, the main point of this entire affair still eludes our self-appointed Keepers of Conventional Wisdom out there in the mainstream media, and that is:


WHY was David Petraeus fired?

Petraeus was not fired for an extramarital affair. Consider; by the Democrats' own standards, there is nothing wrong about an older man in a position of power and influence having an affair with a younger, starry eyed woman.


Why ruin a good man's career over something as irrelevant as getting a little on the side? In '98, the Democrats and their willing minions in the press even went so far as to claim that lying to cover oneself over such an event - to the point of committing perjury under oath in a court of law - was okay, that it happens all the time, that in fact telling such lies are good for everybody concerned.

So why was Petraeus fired? More to the point - why was he not fired when it first became apparent that the Director of the CIA was having an affair and that his mistress may have gained access to classified material?

I have offered a timeline - as best as we know it - HERE. A summary follows:

According to Petraeus friend Colonel Steve Boylan, the affair with Paula Broadwell began in November 2011. This is significant, because it clears Petraeus of any possible violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Personally, it doesn't bother me that General Petraeus was getting some on the side - I'm no Boy Scout. The only issue I have is the concept that Petraeus might have been banging this Broadwell bird - somebody else's wife by the way - while he was supposed to be leading troops in theater, in Afghanistan. That would not only have been illegal, but extrememly disgraceful.

Colonel Boylan's convenient revelation is what buddies are for in the military; to help cover your ass when you step on your dick. Thanks, Steve - you're a good wingman!

Then, in May of 2012, Tampa socialite Jill Kelley notifies a friend in the FBI that she's been receiving harassing emails, and a formal FBI investigation begins soon after.

(The fact that Jill Kelley's FBI friend was a guy who shared shirtless photos of himself with Dr. Kelley's wife is just another juicy morsel on the side of this whole thing, and is essentially irrelevant. Also, the 20-30k worth of naughty emails General Allen shared with Jill Kelley is also irrelevant; simply more dirt to muddy the waters.)

Sometime in the summer of 2012 the FBI determined that the email trail leads to Broadwell. The investigation reveals a private Gmail account using an alias that belongs to Petraeus, and agents believe the two are having an affair. FBI Director Robert Mueller is notified. At some point during the investigation, the FBI interviews Petraeus and Broadwell.

In July of 2012 we are to believe that the affair between Petraeus and Broadwell came to an end; this according to Petraeus' friend Boylan. Again, this is irrelevant. However, we are told that Attorney General Eric Holder was not notified until late summer 2012. The official timeline offered by the Obama Administration is that the President was not informed until after the election, and that Petraeus submitted his resignation letter shortly thereafter.

This is where I have a problem with the official line of crap we're being fed, and this is where things get sinister.

We are expected to believe that the Director of Central Intelligence was being investigated by the FBI over an affair - with concern over possible leak of classified material or the potential for blackmail of the nations' highest intelligence officer - and the President of the United States was NOT informed?

Let me ask another question: is the word "STUPID" written across my forehead?

Sorry, I'm not buying it. Of course Obama knew about the affair. Such a potentially damaging issue at the height of the campaign was absolutely radioactive, and as such had to be managed with extreme care.



So they covered for Petraeus, let him stay in place for two reasons: A) potential fallout from the scandal could cost Obama the election, and B) now they had something to hold over the head of the Director of the CIA - this is the way Team Obama conducts business.

Then Benghazi happened. We now know what occurred on the night of September 11th, and we also know that the story of Muslim mobs enraged by a YouTube video was a complete fabrication. It is not exactly clear who exactly cooked up this myth, but this is also irrelevant. The way everybody from the President of the United States on down was parroting this bizarre talking point makes it obvious to me that this cover story was propagated from the very top.

Essentially; the President of the United States masked from the American people a lethal terrorist attack on one of our overseas missions. Furthermore, somebody from within the National Command Authority - that is, either the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Secretary of Defense - ordered rescue forces to stand down from responding to the attack on the consulate.

It was necessary to hide the truth about Benghazi from the American people, because Obama had made so much political capital from the killing of Bin Laden. A lethal al Qaeda attack on a US target overseas threatened his re-election chances, and so the lies.

General Petraeus himself participated in this cover-up, when he gave “misleading” testimony on 14 September to the House Intelligence Committee on. In that session, Petraeus pointed to a protest over an anti-Islam YouTube video as a primary reason for the attacks on the US facilities in Benghazi, despite an abundance of intelligence pointing to a preplanned terrorist assault on the US consulate and CIA annex there.

Once Obama's re-election was was in the bag, however, uncomfortable questions remained about the events in Benghazi. And so now the Petraeus Affair becomes a convenient red herring to throw out there. Something as big and juicy as that was enough to suck all the oxygen out of the Benghazi story, and so it was time to play that card, throw it out there on the table.

The tale of the General and his hot mistress is made-for-supermarket-tabloids material on steroids. And the Democrats get two for the price of one; not only is this an effective smokescreen to the mess that is Benghazi, but this also takes a very charismatic and respected Republican out of the field of potential candidates for 2016.

The actions of Obama & Co are disgraceful enough, but we expect this kind of behavior of them. This is what they are, this is the Chicago Way.

Petraeus? To me his biggest crime is being stupid enough to think that, as Director of the CIA, an electronic email trail could possibly remain uncovered. General Petraeus was obviously doing all his thinking with his little head, when he should have been thinking with his big head.

To me the greatest travesty is being perpetrated by the Left-leaning Mainstream Media; the Benghazi cover-up is potentially a far greater crime than Watergate ever was, and this time the media is a willing participant in the cover-up. Obama plays them like a Stradivarius, and they wittingly pounced on Petraeus and served him up as raw meat for the masses.

There you have it, people; the total exploitation of General Petraeus.
