1. In 1994, Pinkerton began offering a crisis actors' service to Hillary Clinton in support of emergency response exercises, allegedly used in the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City of April 19, 1995 and in the continuity of government exercises on 9/11.
2. In 1994, Clinton outsourced the operation of the National Visa Center to Serco which was thereby able to place unlawful aliens in women-owned 8(a) companies to be trained in spot-fixing times for the precision attacks associated with online assassination betting.
3. Clinton – former patent lawyer with Rose Law – arranged for the U.S. Navy to outsource patented onion-router (Tor) operations to Serco's Maureen Baginsky who established the FBI directorate for domestic intelligence and allegedly breached FBI personnel files so that first responders at crime scenes would ensure Miss Pinkerton's cases stayed cold.
Readers are invited to browse Abel Danger's website where United States Marine Field McConnell has proof by contradiction – no rebuttal or action for libel – of a conspiracy between Pinkerton and Clinton agents with Serco 8(a) women-owned spot-fixing companies to develop scripts for online assassination betting and the global removal of obstacles to the Clinton presidential election campaign.

"Serco Executive Maureen Baginski Receives FBI Intelligence Analysts Association Award
RESTON, VIRGINIA – May 2, 2011 – Serco Inc., a provider of professional, technology, and management services to the federal government, is proud to announce that Maureen Baginski, Vice President of Serco's Intelligence Services, received the FBI Intelligence Analysts Association (IAA) Award. The first annual event and ceremony was held on April 12 in Washington, DC.
Ms. Baginski was recognized for her work from 2003 to 2005, when she served as the FBI's Executive Assistant Director for Intelligence. In that position, she was responsible for establishing and managing the FBI's first-ever intelligence program. She adapted FBI intelligence capabilities with information technologies to create an intelligence-sharing operation that could identify threats before they became attacks.
During the awards ceremony, James Mackey, a former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst, had these words to say about Ms. Baginski, "Ladies and gentlemen, this person, Maureen Baginski immediately established credibility through hard work the old fashioned way. She became one of the Director's tugboats, and again, through hard work…she established the FBI directorate for domestic intelligence and brought about fundamental change in the FBI, not only for you, but for the American people."
Prior to her role with the FBI, Ms. Baginski served at the National Security Agency (NSA) for 23 years, where she held a variety of positions, including Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Director, Senior Operations Officer in the National Security Operations Center; Executive Assistant to the Director of NSA/Central Security Service, Chief Officer of the Director; Assistant Deputy Director of Technology and Systems; and lead analyst for the Soviet Union. As SIGINT Director, Ms. Baginski successfully established and directed a unified program to exploit encrypted or denied information on global networks. Leading the NSA's Signals Intelligence Directorate, the Nation's high technology cryptology organization, she managed a complex and geographically dispersed distributed information production enterprise.
"We are truly proud of Maureen and this great honor she received. She has brought to Serco the same can-do attitude she exuded while working for the FBI and she continues to lead her team here at Serco with pride and respect," said Ed Casey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Serco.
Ms. Baginski is also the recipient of two Presidential Rank Awards, two Director of Central Intelligence National Achievement Medals, the Director of Military Intelligence's Leadership Award, and NSA's Exceptional Civilian Service Award. She holds BA and MA degrees in Slavic Languages and Linguistics from the University of Albany. In December 2005, she received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of Albany for her service to the nation.

"Hackers got FBI files as part of OPM breach
By Cory Bennett - 06/25/15 08:12 AM EDT
Suspected Chinese hackers breached FBI agents' personnel files as part of the broader attack on the federal government that has laid bare millions of people's data, Newsweek reported.
Putting FBI agents' data at risk could have national security implications; many investigate domestic terrorist plots and foreign spies.
It's still unclear exactly whose information has been pilfered following a massive digital siege on the Office of Personnel Management.
Initially, the OPM said a hack had exposed 4.2 million current and former executive branch employees.
A week later, the personnel agency revealed a second breach of a security clearance database that contained the background check files of millions of military and intelligence community. The FBI is part of the intelligence community.
A widely reported estimate that 18 million people were affected by the second intrusion was disputed by OPM Director Katherine Archuleta on Thursday, who said that number could rise even higher.
It’s not clear whether the reported FBI infiltration was part of the first or second breach. As an intelligence community agency, it would make sense it was part of the larger hack.
But an unnamed FBI source told Newsweek the OPM notified him in May that his personnel file had been compromised, which was before the agency had started sending notices about the second breach.
The FBI has more than 35,000 employees.
The ramifications of those employees' info getting out could be "mind boggling," the source told Newsweek, “because there are counterintelligence implications, national security implications."

"EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
By Jennifer Griffin
Published October 26, 2012
FoxNews.com
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command -- who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."
Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate which at that point was on fire. Shots were exchanged. The rescue team from the CIA annex evacuated those who remained at the consulate and Sean Smith, who had been killed in the initial attack. They could not find the ambassador and returned to the CIA annex at about midnight.
At that point, they called again for military support and help because they were taking fire at the CIA safe house, or annex. The request was denied. There were no communications problems at the annex, according those present at the compound. The team was in constant radio contact with their headquarters. In fact, at least one member of the team was on the roof of the annex manning a heavy machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights.
CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood, though, denied the claims that requests for support were turned down.
"We can say with confidence that the Agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi," she said. "Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. In fact, it is important to remember how many lives were saved by courageous Americans who put their own safety at risk that night-and that some of those selfless Americans gave their lives in the effort to rescue their comrades."
"Hillary Clinton's Personal Server Hacked by Chinese Hackers?
Saturday, March 7, 2015 22:43
(Before It's News)
Hillary Clinton's Personal Server Hacked by Chinese Hackers? By Dr. Bob Uda, PhD, CM, CHSP, ILO The Cyber-commentator©™
March 7, 2015
Red China has Hillary Clinton's damning emails regarding the Benghazi terrorist attack; receiving donations from Arabic, Muslim, and Islamic nations; husband Bill's dealings with pedophilia, among numerous others things. It is also suspected that other nations such as Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Libya, and Venezuela may have also hacked into the Clinton server located in the basement of her home.
Additionally, civilian hackers in the United States who have hacked into Hillary's server already have some of the damning emails and will use them to blackmail Hillary during the presidential campaign and thereafter.
This situation has placed the United States in a very precarious position. Remember, the National Security Agency (NSA) has surreptitiously tapped into the cell phones, computers, and emails of many foreign leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The NSA also has all of the damning emails from Hillary Clinton and will divulge them to the American people very soon. This is why it would be dangerous for the Democrats to nominate Hillary Clinton as their standard bearer for the 2016 election.
If you believe this article, I have a used server from Hillary Clinton to sell you. However, even though this is a hypothetical story, it is not far-fetched from probably being the truth. If it turns out to be the truth, then it is highly probable that Hillary, should she become president of the United States (POTUS), could be blackmailed in the future by terrorists or rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea. Do you wonder why the Obama administration is working hard to establish diplomatic relations and treaties with Iran, Cuba, and Egypt? Think about all of the possible scenarios.
Do not be surprised if the Clinton home in Chappaqua, New York, burns down to the ground in the near future. Remember, if “Tricky” Dick Nixon had destroyed the White House tapes, he may have served out his second term. All of these shenanigans would not have occurred because the course of history would have taken a better direction than it is heading today.
The chickens have finally come home to roost. Hillary has dodged bullets in the Whitewater scandal, the Vince Foster suicide, travel-gate, investing $1,000 in cattle futures and making $100,000 (insider trading), and FBI personal files on Republican enemies. This alleged federal offense will be a hard bullet to dodge especially since the bullet is armor piercing."
"Behind the Sordid World of Online Assassination Betting Jamie Bartlett Filed to: BIBLIOTECH 6/01/15 11:35am …. Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death
It was in this heady atmosphere that the radical libertarian Jim Bell first took the promise of online anonymity to a terrifying conclusion. In late 1992, a group of radical libertarians from California called the "cypherpunks" set up an email list to propose and discuss how cyberspace could be used to guarantee personal liberty, privacy, and anonymity. Bell, a contributor to the list, believed that if citizens could use the internet to send secret encrypted messages and trade using untraceable currencies, it would be possible to create a functioning market for almost anything. In 1995, he set out his ideas in an essay called "Assassination Politics," which he posted to the email list. It made even the staunchly libertarian cypherpunks wince.
Bell proposed that an organization be set up that would ask citizens to make anonymous digital cash donations to the prize pool of a public figure. The organization would award the prize to whoever correctly predicted that person's death. This, argued Bell, wasn't illegal, it was just a type of gambling. But here's the ruse: if enough people were sufficiently angry with a particular individual—each anonymously contributing just a few dollars—the prize pool would become so large that someone would be incentivized to make a prediction and then fulfill it themselves in order to take the pot.
This is where encrypted messages and untraceable payment systems come in. A crowd-sourced—and untraceable—murder would unfold as follows. First, the would-be assassin sends his prediction in an encrypted message that can be opened only by a digital code known to the person who sent it. He then makes the kill and sends the organization that code, which would unlock his (correct) prediction. Once verified by the organization, presumably by watching the news, the prize money—in the form of a digital currency donated to the pot—would be publicly posted online as an encrypted file.
Again, that file can be unlocked only by a "key" generated by whoever made the prediction. Without anyone knowing the identity of anyone else, the organization would be able to verify the prediction and award the prize to the person who made it.
The best bit, thought Bell, was that internet-enabled anonymity safeguarded all parties, except perhaps the killer (and his or her victim). Even if the police discovered who’d been contributing to the cash prizes of people on the list, the donors could truthfully respond that they had never directly asked for anyone to be killed. The organization that ran the market couldn’t help either, because they wouldn’t know who had donated, who had made predictions or who had unlocked the cash file.
But Bell's idea was about more than getting away with murder. He believed that this system would exert a populist pressure on elected representatives to be good. The worse the offender—the more he or she outraged his or her citizens—the more likely they were to accumulate a large pool, and incentivize potential assassins. (Bell believed Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini would all have been killed had such a market existed at the time.) Ideally, no one would need to be killed. Bell hoped the very existence of this market would mean no one would dare throw their hat into the ring at all.
"Perfect anonymity, perfect secrecy, and perfect security," he wrote, ". . . combined with the ease and security with which these contributions could be collected, would make being an abusive government employee an extremely risky proposition. Chances are good that nobody above the level of county commissioner would even risk staying in office."
In 1995, when Bell wrote “Assassination Politics," this was all hypothetical. Although Bell believed his market would ultimately lead to the collapse of every government in the world, reality hadn't caught up with his imagination. Nearly two decades later, with the creation of digital currencies like Bitcoin, anonymous browsers like Tor and trustworthy encryption systems, it had, and Bell's vision was realized. "Killing is in most cases wrong, yes," Sanjuro wrote when he launched the Assassination Market in the summer of 2013:
However, this is an inevitable direction in the technological evolution . . . When someone uses the law against you and/or infringes upon your rights to life, liberty, property, trade or the pursuit of happiness, you may now, in a safe manner from the comfort of your living room, lower their life-expectancy in return. There are, today, at least half a dozen names on the Assassination Market. Although it is frightening, no one, as far as I can tell, has been assassinated. Its significance lies not in its effectiveness, but in its existence. It is typical of the sort of creativity and innovation that characterizes the dark net: a place without limits, a place to push boundaries, a place to express ideas without censorship, a place to sate our curiosities and desires, whatever they may be. All dangerous, magnificent, and uniquely human qualities."
"The 8(a) Business Development Program assists in the development of small businesses owned and operated by individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged, such as women and minorities.

In 2011, the SBA, along with the FBI and the IRS, uncovered a massive scheme to defraud this program. Civilian employees of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, working in concert with an employee of Alaska Native Corporation Eyak Technology LLC allegedly submitted fraudulent bills to the program, totaling over 20 million dollars, and kept the money for their own use.[26] It also alleged that the group planned to steer a further 780 million dollars towards their favored contractor.[27]"

"Rose O'Neal Greenhow (1813 or 1814[1]– October 1, 1864) was a renowned Confederate spy during the American Civil War. A socialite in Washington, D.C. during the period before the war, she moved in important political circles and cultivated friendships with presidents, generals, senators, and high-ranking military officers. She used her connections to pass along key military information to the Confederacy at the start of the war. In early 1861, she was given control of a pro-Southern spy network in Washington, DC by her handler, Thomas Jordan, then a captain in the Confederate Army. She was credited by Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, with ensuring the South's victory at the First Battle of Bull Run in late July 1861. …
Knowing she was suspected of spying for the Confederacy, Greenhow feared for her remaining daughters' safety. Leila was sent to Ohio to join her older sister Florence Greenhow Moore, whose husband Seymour Treadwell Moore had become a captain in the Union Army. (He was breveted a brigadier general in May 1865 for his services and achieved a rank of lieutenant colonel after the war in his army career.) Only Little Rose stayed with Greenhow in Washington.
Allan Pinkerton was made head of the recently formed Secret Service and one of his first orders was to watch Greenhow, because of her wide circle of contacts on both sides of the sectional split.[14] Due to the activities of visitors, he arrested her and placed her under house arrest at her 16th Street residence, along with one of her couriers, Lily Mackall. His agents traced other leaked information to Greenhow's home.
While searching her house, Pinkerton and his men found extensive intelligence materials left from evidence she tried to burn, including scraps of coded messages, copies of what amounted to eight reports to Jordan over a month's time, and maps of Washington fortifications and notes on military movements.[3][15]
The materials included numerous love letters from the abolitionist Republican US Senator Henry Wilson from Massachusetts. She considered him her prize source, and said he gave her data on the "number of heavy guns and other artillery in the Washington defenses," but he likely knew far more from his work on the Military Affairs Committee.[16] The seized Greenhow papers are now held by the National Archives and Records Administration, with some available on line.[17]
Pinkerton supervised
visitors to Greenhow's house and moved other suspected Southern sympathizers
into it, giving rise to the nickname Fort Greenhow. He was pleased to oversee
the visitors and messages, as it gave him more control of the Southern flow of
information.[18] While messages continued to be sent to Jordan, he discounted them
after Pinkerton mounted his control. When a letter from Greenhow to Seward was
publicized that complained of her treatment, there was Northern criticism for
what was perceived as too lenient treatment of a spy. Pinkerton transferred
Greenhow on January 18, 1862 to Old Capitol
Prison, shutting down Fort
Greenhow. So many political prisoners were detained that a two-man commission
was set up to review their cases at what were called espionage. hearings.[19] Greenhow was never subjected to trial.[3] Her youngest daughter, "Little Rose", then eight years
old, was permitted to stay with her.
Greenhow continued to pass along messages while imprisoned.[3] Passers-by could see Rose's window from the street. Historians believe that the position of the blinds and number of candles burning in the window had special meaning to the "little birdies" passing by. Another account lists her prison room facing the prison yard "so that she could not see or be seen" and "every effort was made to keep Mrs. Greenhow away from the windows."[20]Greenhow also on one occasion flew the Confederate Flag from her prison window.[21]"
"History isn’t certain if Kate Warne, America’s first female detective, had that career path in mind when she walked into the Pinkerton Detective Agency. It’s possible she was applying to be a secretary. But she so impressed Allan Pinkerton that he hired her as an agent — a job she proved unusually well-suited for.
This was 1856. To say that Pinkerton, who founded his Chicago-based agency in 1850, was breaking with convention by hiring a newly-widowed 23-year-old woman is an understatement. But his hunch proved prescient, and Warne broke ground for other women who aspired to be private investigators. In a ringing endorsement after her successes led him to hire on more women, Pinkerton declared:
"In my service you will serve your country better than on the field. I have several female operatives. If you agree to come aboard you will go in training with the head of my female detectives, Kate Warne. She has never let me down."
The novelty of a female detective in those days meant Warne was able to go undercover with ease (including pretending to be a fortune-teller as a means to gather intel), and gain the trust of other women (like the wife of a man suspected of embezzling $50,000 from the Adams Express Company in Montgomery, Alabama).
Warne's biggest case came in 1861, when she proved a key operative in Pinkerton's successful thwarting of an assassination plot being hatched against then-president-elect Abraham Lincoln. Though Warne was a New York native, her time spent working the Adams Express Company case meant she was able to convincingly impersonate a Southerner. Once he caught wind of the plot against Lincoln, Pinkerton knew exactly how Warne could help crack the case:
He sent Warne to
Baltimore as a spy to infiltrate the southern sympathizers. Posing as a Mrs.
Barley, a visitor from Alabama, Warne's job was to "cultivate the wives and
daughters of suspected plotters." The attempt on the president-elect's life
would be made while he was passing through the city.
Warne's involvement
went even further. Not only did she courier messages to Lincoln's party, but
she also helped smuggle the president himself onto a train that would
ultimately pass through Baltimore with him undetected.
Her technique included some major cloak-and-dagger
cleverness:
Lincoln donned an overcoat and hat, abandoning his signature "stovepipe." His role was that of Kate Warne's "invalid brother." Warne purchased tickets for herself and her "brother," and saw to it that the rear sections of a sleeping car were secure. Kate charmed the conductor into keeping the back door of the sleeping car open, so that her "sick brother" could enter in privacy.
For this accomplishment, some call Warne a trailblazer for women who'd later serve as presidential guards and in the Secret Service. Months after "the Baltimore Plot" case, the Civil War broke out, and Warne was said to have worked as a Union spy on behalf of the Pinkertons. Unfortunately, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed most of Pinkerton's unpublished records, so more details of Warne’s life beyond Pinkerton’s praise-filled remembrances are scarce. He named her Supervisor of Women Agents so that she could pass on her skills to new recruits, but her life was cut tragically short in 1868 when she suddenly fell ill. She was estimated to be just 35 years old when she died.
It was rumored that Warne and Pinkerton's close working relationship was also intimate (problematic, since Pinkerton was married), but whatever scandal that might suggest can't eclipse the importance of her work. Surprisingly, she hasn't had much of a pop-culture presence despite her incredible story. In 2011, the USA Network announced it was developing a drama about Warne (that never materialized); a more homespun homage came via author and graphic designer Lauren R. Silberman's delightful web comic Kate Warne, Pinkerton Detective, which ran throughout 2013."
