1. Abel Danger (AD) claims that Serco has been mentoring long-range snuff-film production crews through its 8(a) protégé companies since Feb 15, 1994 when former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher formed Base One Technologies Ltd in New York (File # 1795583).
2. AD claims that then Secretary Clinton ordered the Office of Personnel Management and USIS to dump up to a million security-clearance files into the Base One server network so she and her aides could deploy crisis actors to Serco's 8(a)snuff-film locations such as Benghzai on 9/11-12/12.
3. AD claims that the former senior advisor in International Affairs at the Association for Payment Clearing Services, Theresa May, and her UK Cabinet Office aides are using Serco's HSBC bankers at Canada Square to bet on 8(a) snuff-film deaths in Zulu time (cf. Pentagon bomb 17:37:19).
4. United States Marine Field McConnell offers to show Donald Trump how to neutralize the long-range risks from the USIS file dumps and bring Clinton, May and Serco's Canada Square bankers to justice for their role in the wrongful deaths associated with the Benghazi digital fires (http://www.abeldanger.net/2010/01/field-mcconnell-bio.html).

BLUE MOUNTAIN GROUP
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!"
"Benghazi attacks may have involved two different groups, say US
commanders
Mortar strike on CIA
complex seen as opportunistic, militarised operation triggered by earlier
burning of diplomatic mission
Associated Press in
Washington
Thursday 10 July 2014 03.24 BSTLast
modified on Wednesday 11 May 201622.45 BST
Newly revealed
testimony from US military commanders involved in the response to the Benghazi
attacks in 2012 suggests that the perpetrators of a second, dawn attack on a
CIA complex probably were different from those who penetrated the US diplomatic
mission the evening before and set it ablaze, killing the ambassador, Chris
Stevens, and another American.
The second attack,
which killed two security contractors, showed clear military training, retired
General Carter Ham told Congress in closed-door testimony released late on
Wednesday. The assault probably was the work of a new team of militants,
seizing on reports of violence at the diplomatic mission in Libya the night
before and hitting the Americans while they were most vulnerable.
The testimony was seen
by the Associated Press prior to its release and adds further detail about the
events of 11 September 2012, which have stirred bitter recriminations in the
US, including Republican-led congressional investigations and campaign-season
denunciations of the Obama
administration because it made inaccurate statements about the
attacks. The testimony underscores a key detail that sometimes has been lost in
the debate: that the attacks were two distinct events over two days on two
different buildings, perhaps by unrelated groups.
The US government
still has not fully characterised the first attack in which, according to Ham
and eight other military officers, men who seemed familiar with the lightly
protected diplomatic compound breached it and set it on fire, killing Stevens
and communications specialist Sean Smith. A mob of looters then overran the
facility.
In testimony to two
House of Representatives panels earlier this year, the officers said that
commanders did not have the information they needed to understand the nature of
the attack, that they had been unaware of the extent of the US presence in
Benghazi at the time, and were convinced erroneously for a time that they were
facing a hostage crisis without the ability to move military assets into place
that would be of any use.
The testimony reveals
how little information the military had on which to base an urgent response.
Four Americans died in Benghazi, including Stevens. To this day, despite the investigations, it is not clear if the violence resulted from a well-planned, multi-phase militarised assault or from a loosely connected, escalating chain of events.
Four Americans died in Benghazi, including Stevens. To this day, despite the investigations, it is not clear if the violence resulted from a well-planned, multi-phase militarised assault or from a loosely connected, escalating chain of events.
In their testimony
military officials expressed some uncertainty about the first attack,
describing protests and looting in an assault that lasted about 45 minutes. The
military attache to the US embassy in Tripoli told Congress the first attack
showed some advance planning. The Libyan police officer guarding the diplomatic
compound fled as it began.
The defence attache,
whose name was not released, suggested the attackers "had something on the
shelf" an outline of a plan based on previously obtained information about
the compound and its security measures, so were ready to strike when the
opportunity arose.
Ham testified that the
second attack, which killed security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty at
the annexe at the diplomatic compound where the assault began the night before,
showed clear military training. It was probably the work of a new team of
militants seizing the moment after reports of violence at the first site and
American vulnerability.
"Given the
precision of the attack it was a well-trained mortar crew, and in my estimation
they probably had a well-trained observer," said Ham, who headed the US
command in Africa. The second attack showed "a degree of sophistication
and military training that is relatively unusual and certainly, I think,
indicates that this was not a pickup team. This was not a couple of guys who
just found a mortar someplace".
The attacks came as
President Barack Obama was in a close re-election battle, campaigning in part
on the contention that al-Qaida no longer posed a significant threat to the
United States. A terror attack on American assets could have damaged that
argument.
Five days after the
attack UN ambassador Susan Rice linked the Benghazi attacks to protests in
Tunisia and Cairo over an anti-Islam video. Weeks later US officials retracted
that account but never fully articulated a new one.
Republicans seized on
the inaccuracies, contending that the Obama administration was covering up a
terror attack for political gain. Several congressional and independent
investigations have faulted the State Department for inadequate security but
have not provided a full reading of who was involved in the violence, what the
motives were and how they could pull off such a seemingly complicated,
multi-pronged assault.
The congressional
testimony that distinguishes the attacks came from military officials in
Tripoli or, like Ham, co-ordinating the response in Washington. Most have never
given a public account. But they agreed that confusion reigned from the outset.
"We're under
attack," was the first report the military received from Benghazi. That
message came from Stevens's entourage to Tripoli in the late afternoon of 11
September. Word was relayed to the defence attache, who reported up the chain
of command.
Once the first attack
ended around 10pm the military moved to evacuate Americans from Benghazi, while
preparing for what it erroneously believed might have been an emerging hostage
situation involving Stevens. In fact Stevens died of smoke inhalation after the
diplomatic post was set on fire in the first attack.
Seven and a half hours
later, at dawn, mortars crashed on a CIA compound that had been unknown to top
military commanders.
The Obama
administration last month apprehended its first suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala,
and brought him to the US to stand trial on terrorism charges.
The US Justice
Department maintains in court documents that Abu Khattala was involved in both
attacks and describes the first breach on the diplomatic post as equally sophisticated.
The government said a group of about 20 men, armed with AK-47 rifles, handguns
and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, stormed the diplomatic facility in the
first attack.
Abu Khattala
supervised the looting after Americans fled, the government says, and then
returned to the camp of the Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia, where the
Justice Department says a large force began assembling for the second attack.
The Justice Department provided no supporting documentation for those
conclusions.
Abu Khattala's lawyer
says the government has failed to show that he was connected to either attack."

"U.S. Settles Whistleblower Suit Against Altegrity
Deal with bankrupt
parent of USIS resolves claims background-screening business failed to conduct
quality reviews of completed background checks
By
PATRICK FITZGERALD
Aug. 20, 2015 1:01
p.m. ET
The federal government
has reached a settlement worth at least $30 million with Altegrity Inc., the
parent of an employment screening business that had been accused of fraud in
a whistleblower lawsuit.
The U.S. Justice
Department said Wednesday that Altegrity and its subsidiary U.S. Investigations
Services Inc., or USIS, have agreed to a deal resolving claims that USIS raked
in tens of millions of taxpayer dollars while failing to conduct quality
reviews of completed background checks. The government claimed USIS committed
fraud through a practice USIS employees referred to internally as "dumping" or "flushing" unfinished investigations. The practice involved USIS employees
releasing to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management cases that hadn’t
undergone a contractually required quality review.
"Shortcuts taken by
any company that we have entrusted to conduct background investigations of
future and current federal employees are unacceptable," said Benjamin C.
Mizer, head of the Justice Department's civil division. "The Justice
Department will ensure that those who do business with the government provide
all of the services for which we bargained." Whistleblower Blake
Percival, a former USIS employee, first exposed the alleged dumping in a
lawsuit filed in 2011, which was later joined by the Justice Department.
According to the suit, USIS's bonuses depended on speedy completion of security
investigations, and the system was allegedly geared to ensure the bonus money came
in even if the goals weren't met.
As part of the
settlement, USIS and Altegrity have agreed to forgo the more than $30 million
they said the government still owed them under their contract. An Altegrity
spokesman declined to comment.
USIS was created in
1996 from the privatization of a unit of the OPM, and for years it held a
lucrative contract to conduct security-clearance background investigations for
federal agencies. It vetted Edward Snowden for
work at the National Security Agency, and it vetted Aaron Alexis, a
federal contractor who shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard in
2013. Last year, USIS was hit with a cyberattack that exposed the files of tens
of thousands of Department of Homeland Security employees.
The whistleblower suit
was unrelated to the background screenings conducted on Messrs. Snowden and
Alexis and USIS has previously denied any shortcomings connected to those
investigations. USIS said an independent investigation concluded it wasn’t at
fault in the hacking incident.
Buyout firm Providence
Equity Partners LLC bought USIS in 2007 and later folded it into its
private-company security and employment-screening businesses, Kroll and
HireRight, to create Altegrity. But the government didn’t renew USIS's
contracts after the cyberattack, helping push the company into chapter 11
bankruptcy reorganization.
Altegrity filed for
protection from creditors in February after losing its government contracts and
hopes to emerge from chapter 11 reorganization later this month with Kroll and
HireRight intact. Under the company’s chapter 11 plan, approved by a bankruptcy
judge last week, creditors are taking control of the new Altegrity, and USIS
will be left behind in chapter 11 to be liquidated.
The settlement of
USIS’s liability under the False Claims Act is part of a broader deal that also
resolves other matters between the U.S. and Altegrity in the bankruptcy case.
The government said Mr. Percival's share of the settlement hasn't yet been
determined.
