1. Abel Danger (AD) claims that after the July 19 arrest of HSBC's global head of foreign exchange trading, FBI director James Comey is tracking Serco's drug-hub shareholders and bankers through 8(a) servers linked to the pay-to-play donors of the Clinton Foundation.
2. AD claims that the Clinton and Serco bankers used the Blue Mountain Group as a third-party logistics (3PL) company – allegedly under the command of the CIA and unwitting former Navy SEALs – to transport drugs, weapons and hit teams into Libya.
3. AD claims that former UK Home Secretary Theresa May used Zulu timing signals from Serco operators of the NPL clock to synchronize front-running frauds and death-betting by HSBC clients with the killing of whistle-blowers in Benghazi on 9/11-12/12.
4. United States Marine Field McConnell asks James Comey to hand over any evidence of hostile actors, third-party logistics or death betting on the Clinton server network which might help families sue for the wrongful deaths of relatives in Benghazi on 9/11-12/12.

“Top HSBC manager charged in forex probe
21 July 2016
A top HSBC executive
has been charged with fraud in the US.
Mark Johnson, HSBC's
global head of foreign exchange trading was arrested on Tuesday night. A former
colleague, Stuart Scott, has also been charged.
The two traders are
accused by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) of using inside information to
profit from a $3.5bn (£2.6bn) currency deal.
HSBC said it did not
comment on individual employees or active litigation.
However, a spokesman
said the bank was cooperating in the DoJ's ongoing investigation into global
currency markets.
Mr Johnson was
released on $1m bail following a court hearing on Wednesday. Mr Scott has
denied the allegations.
The US Department of
Justice (DoJ) accuses the traders of "front-running".
That is misusing
confidential information provided by a client who planned to convert $3.5bn
into British pounds.
It is claimed that the
two executives bought sterling themselves before handling the order, because
they knew that such a large transaction would push up the value of the
currency, and allow them to make money.
Holding executives
'accountable'
The DoJ also claimed
the traders timed the purchase in order to maximise its effect on the value of
the British currency. As a result it's alleged they were able to generate
significant profits for the bank. They are also accused of concealing their
actions from the client.
"The charges and
arrest announced today reflect our steadfast commitment to hold accountable
corporate executives and licensed professionals who use their positions to
fraudulently enrich themselves," said the US Attorney Robert Capers.
US prosecutors cited
emails and conversations from Bloomberg chats that indicated the two men
plotted to see how high they could raise the the dollar to pound exchange rate
before the clients would 'squeal'.
The DoJ said that HSBC
brought in roughly $8m profit from the currency trades they conducted for the
client.
What is front running?
Front running is an
unethical way for a broker to benefit from a client's trade.
When companies or
individuals want to buy a substantial amount of currency- for example dollars
in exchange for pounds - they typically go through a broker. A large purchase
can push up the value of that currency.
Knowing this, the
broker can buy dollars on his own account ahead of the deal, carries out his
client's transaction, watches the value of dollars rise, and then sells his own
dollars at a handsome profit.
Specific charges
In the charges
released on Wednesday, the DoJ cites specific trades Mr Johnson and Mr Scott
made in late 2011.
In late November and
early December of that year, Mr Johnson allegedly purchased pounds in exchange
for euros, and pounds in exchange for dollars.
Mr Scott allegedly
made a purchase of pounds in exchange for euros.
The two men are
accused of then selling their sterling to HSBC, for a profit on the day of the
alleged victim's foreign exchange transaction.
The DoJ also accused
the two men of encouraging the alleged victim to conduct the trade at a
specific time during the day, because it was easier to manipulate the price
then.
"It was
advantageous to them and HSBC, and disadvantageous to the victim company, to
execute the victim company foreign exchange transaction" at the time they
did, the DoJ said.
This case is related
to a three-year long investigation by regulators into rigging of the currency
market globally, but is the first time the Department of Justice has brought
charges against individuals.
In May 2015, four
banks pleaded guilty to conspiring to manipulate the foreign exchange market.
HSBC was not part of
those criminal cases, but it was one of six banks fined by UK and US regulators
over their traders' attempted manipulation of foreign exchange rates in
November 2014.
HSBC spokesman Robert
Sherman said the bank was cooperating with the DoJ's continuing foreign
exchange investigation.
Forex market
About 40% of the
world's currency dealing is estimated to go through trading rooms in London.
The massive market, in
which $5.3 trillion worth of currencies are traded daily, dwarfs the stock and
bond markets.
There is no physical
forex marketplace and nearly all trading takes place on electronic systems
operated by the big banks and other providers.
Daily "spot
benchmarks" known as "fixes" are used by a wide range of
financial and non-financial firms to, for example help value assets or manage
currency risk."

June 20, 2016
My recent article on
the G4S Security firm and its connection to the Orlando Shooter and the
Department of Homeland Security has generated a tremendous response. Many
people have asked if the G4S Company was involved with providing security for
our consulate in Benghazi when it was attacked on September 11, 2012 and four
brave Americans were murdered.
The firm in charge of security at Benghazi was the Blue Mountain Group, and I
have not uncovered any relationship between it and G4S other than the fact that
the G4S headquarters is in England and Blue Mountain is in Wales. However, what
occurred with Blue Mountain makes its employment by Hillary Clinton and the
State Department just as much of a scandal as that involving G4S.
Much of this information was reported by the Reuters News service in October of
2012, but it accepted the State Department’s explanation as to the reason for
hiring the Blue Mountain Group. The department claimed that federal law
required it to accept the lowest bidder for all contracts, however, I don’t buy
this explanation and based on my research have reached a different and far more
insidious explanation.
According to the Reuters article Blue Mountain employed local Libyans as
security guards that went through no real background checks and were poorly
trained. They were not allowed to carry firearms, and were told that they had
to patrol the compound with flashlights and batons. They were also instructed
that if they detected an impending threat to the consulate they were to radio
that in and then runaway and hide.
In fact, I have found no records that prove that Blue Mountain Group was hired
for Benghazi security because it was the low bidder. There were many other
security firms that had very good reputations, provided armed guards, and were
providing adequate security to U.S. Embassies and other facilities around the
world. Yet, it appears that none of them were offered the Benghazi contract.
I believe that
based on my research Blue Mountain Group was hired because it was the only
company to agree to Hillary Clinton’s demand that the firm provide guards who
were not carrying firearms in what was clearly a dangerous area of the world. This
makes no sense. Was it some form of insane political correctness that caused
the Secretary of State to prohibit consular security from having armed guards
that may have been able to save the lives of Americans who were working for our
country and Hillary Clinton?
Unfortunately, there is more to this story. It is clear that the Benghazi
attack was well planned and organized, and that the attackers knew when
Ambassador Chris Stevens was going to be in Benghazi, where he would be in the
compound, and what type of security would be protecting him. I can only
identify two possible sources that could have provided this information. First
is that one or more of the security employees hired by Blue Mountain gave the
information to the terrorists that launched the attack. There had already been
one previous incident involving the local security guards. Two of them were
suspected of actually throwing a firebomb into the compound. One was fired, but
the other stayed on the payroll.
The other possible source of the breach of security is the private server
illegally maintained by Clinton. Several emails have been uncovered that
detailed the itinerary and movements of Ambassador Chris Stevens prior to the
day of the attack. Whether it was the betrayal of a Libyan security guard, or a
hacking of the email server, it occurred under Hillary Clinton’s watch. At best
she is guilty of gross negligence, and violation of federal laws regarding
private email servers, so who else has been put at risk? Now she wants to be
our President."
"Theresa Mary May (née Brasier; born 1 October 1956) is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative
Party, the second woman to hold both
offices. She has also been
the Member of Parliament (MP)
for Maidenhead since
1997. May identifies as a One-Nation
Conservative and is
characterised as a liberal
conservative.
The daughter of
a vicar, May grew up in Oxfordshire. From 1977 until 1983, she worked for the Bank of England, and from 1985 until 1997 at the Association for Payment Clearing Services, also serving as a councillor for Durnsford in Merton. After unsuccessful attempts to be elected
to the House of Commons in 1992 and 1994, she was elected as
the MP for Maidenhead in the 1997 general election.
From 1999 to 2010, May served in a number of roles in the Shadow Cabinets of William Hague, Iain Duncan Smith, Michael Howard, and David Cameron, including Shadow Transport Secretary and Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary. She was also Chairman
of the Conservative Party from
2002 to 2003.
After the formation of
the Coalition
Government following
the 2010 general election,
May was appointed Home Secretary and Minister
for Women and Equalities, giving
up the latter role in 2012. Reappointed after the Conservative victory in
the 2015 general election,
she went on to become the longest-serving Home Secretary since James Chuter Ede over 60 years previously, pursuing reform of the police, taking a
harder line on drug policy, overseeing the creation of elected Police
and Crime Commissioners and
introducing restrictions on immigration.[3]
Following the
resignation of David Cameron on 24 June 2016, May announced her
candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party and quickly emerged as the front-runner. She won the first ballot
of Conservative MPs on 5 July by a significant margin, and two days later won
the votes of 199 MPs, going forward to face a vote of Conservative Party
members in a contest with Andrea Leadsom. Leadsom's withdrawal from the election on 11 July led to May's
appointment as leader the same day. She was appointed Prime Minister two days
later.[4]"

Cabinet Office – Emergency Planning College – Serco …..Types of Exercise Workshop
Exercises These are structured discussion events where participants can explore
issues in a less pressurised environment. They are an ideal way of developing
solutions, procedures and plans rather than the focus being on decision making.
Table Top Exercises These involve a realistic scenario and will follow a time
line, either in real-time or with time jumps to concentrate on the more
important areas. The participants would be expected to be familiar with the
plans and procedures that are being used although the exercise tempo and
complexity can be adjusted to suit the current state of training and readiness.
Simulation and media play can be used to support the exercise. Table-top
exercises help develop teamwork and allow participants to gain a better
understanding of their roles and that of other agencies and organisations. Command/Control
Post Exercises These are designed primarily to exercise the senior leadership
and support staff in collective planning and decision making within a strategic
grouping. Ideally such exercises would be run from the real command and control
locations and using their communications and information systems [Feeling
lucky, Punk?]. This could include a mix of locations and varying
levels of technical simulation support. The Gold Standard system is flexible to
allow the tempo and intensity to be adjusted to ensure maximum training
benefit, or to fully test and evaluate the most important aspects of a plan.
Such exercises also test information flow, communications, equipment,
procedures, decision making and coordination. Live Exercises These can range
from testing individual components of a system or organisation through to a
full-scale rehearsal. They are particularly useful where there are regulatory
requirements or with high-risk situations. They are more complex and costly to
organise and deliver but can be integrated with Command Post Exercises as part
of a wider exercising package.”

drop investigation into Serco prisoner transport contract
The outsourcing group
said there was no evidence of individual or corporate wrongdoing
7:42AM GMT 19 Dec 2014
The City of London
Police has closed an investigation into Serco’s prisoner transport contract
after more than a year of work, enabling the firm to continue with the contract
until 2018.
The Ministry of
Justice called in the police in August 2013 to examine whether Serco had
misleadingly recorded prisoners as being ready for court when they were not, in
order to meet the performance criteria of the contract.
However, Serco said on
Friday that the probe into the Prisoner Escort and Custody Services (PECS)
contract had been closed after the police found no evidence to support bringing
charges against the outsourcing firm or its staff.
“The information
obtained was also sufficient for the City of London Police to conclude there
was no evidence of any corporate-wide conspiracy or an intention to falsify
figures to meet the DRACT [designated ready and available for court time]
contract requirement by senior Serco management or at the board level of the
company,” the firm said in a statement.
The Ministry of
Justice had said it would end the contract immediately if the firm’s board was
found to have done wrong."

“Originally appeared at Chuck Baldwin LIVE A missionary friend of mine
in Eastern Europe recently gave me a heads up regarding an excellent article
written by Sebastian Swift entitled "5 Confirmed False Flag Operations And
How To Spot Them In The Future."
Swift writes, "The false flag phenomenon is distinctively modern and used as an ideological weapon to control populations with the fear of a manufactured enemy. They are used in ostensibly democratic systems where people believe they have inalienable rights. Such democratic systems--primarily the United States, Israel, and Great Britain--must shock people into sociopolitical and geopolitical consent and, as such, require sophisticated modern propaganda systems and advanced covert operations teams with highly proficient skills."
Here are his telltale signs of a false flag operation:
There is an immediate comprehensive narrative, including a convenient culprit. Law enforcement, government agencies, and the mainstream media immediately proffer a narrative that completely explains the event and encourages citizens to tie their intellectual understanding of the tragedy to the emotions they experience. In his lecture at Contact in the Desert, [author and researcher] Richard Dolan noted that a distinguishing characteristic of a false flag operation is that the official narrative IS NOT questioned by the media. There are often legislative, ideological and sociopolitical power plays waiting in the wings, which the government can immediately implement.
The official narrative has obvious domestic and geopolitical advantages for the governing body. The Bush administration used 9/11 to usher in the War on Terror, which has served as a lynchpin for countless civil liberty infringements by the national security state, including ubiquitous domestic surveillance and indefinite detention.
The narrative behind the attack serves to leverage emotions like fear, as well as patriotism, in order to manufacture consent around a previously controversial issue. For example, many of the recent domestic terror attacks, including the Aurora [and Orlando] shooting[s], have exacerbated and reinforced advocacy of gun control legislation.
Military training drills and police drills occur on the day of and very near the attack itself, causing confusion to obscure eye witness testimony and allowing orchestrators to plant both patsies, disinformation and backup operatives. This is no small point. An incredible percentage of major domestic or international terror attacks have involved simultaneous "training drills.” This list includes, but is not limited to, the infamous NORAD drills of 9/11, the 7/7 London Bombings, the 2011 Norway shooting, the Aurora shooting, Sandy Hook, and the Boston Marathon. Though none of the aforementioned events can be confirmed or denied without a doubt, they bear a striking resemblance to previous false flag attacks and should be looked at with an investigative eye…
Our Founding Fathers believed their government (the British Crown) was deliberately conspiring against them. Thomas Jefferson said as much in our Declaration of Independence:
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Read it again: “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a DESIGN to reduce them under absolute Despotism . . . .” Jefferson and the rest of America’s founders believed that there was a “design” (i.e, “plot,” “scheme,” or “conspiracy,” if you please) to “reduce them under absolute Despotism.” So, if you believe that government conspiracy is only for kooks, you must include America’s Founding Fathers in that group….
Again, I submit if we deliberately "shut our eyes against a painful truth," liberty is not long for this country. And that includes admitting when a tragedy is NOT a conspiracy. But it also means admitting when evidence suggests that it IS."
