http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/revealed-feds-predicted-surge-of-illegals-see-another-127000-this-year/article/2567219
Despite claims the Obama administration was caught off guard, the White House and four Cabinet departments predicted last year's surge of at least 60,000 illegal juveniles over the U.S.-Mexico border and expect it to more than double to 127,000 this year, according to an internal document.
* DESPITE LIES THEY MEAN!
A 24-page administration PowerPoint for congressional appropriators dated April 22, 2014 bluntly stated that border arrivals of "unaccompanied alien children" would rise "by nearly a factor of 10" in 2014 to 60,000 and jump to 127,000 "if these growth rates continue." It is shown below.
* AND N*O*W THE MEDIA REPORTS THIS...???
Indications are that this year's surge ... will be the second highest in recent history.
The document and accompanying graphs, provided by congressional sources, also set a price tag of $2 billion "to accommodate" the juveniles - some... members of the MS-13 crime gang - this year.
(*SARCASTIC THUMBS UP*)
* YOU STUPID F'n SHEEPLE...
(*SPITTING ON THE GROUND*)
The briefing counters claims by top federal officials that they didn't see the surge coming last year.
* "CLAIMS." AKA: LIES.
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
President Obama called it an "urgent humanitarian situation" in seeking nearly $4 billion, and a top aide said it "was much larger than we anticipated."
* $4 BILLION...
(*SIGH*)
It also indicated that the administration is changing its policy in handling the minors in a way that could expand the number allowed into the country, and is funneling money to countries such as Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala to reverse the trend.
* BORROWING MONEY FROM CHINA TO FUNNEL TO MEXICO, HONDURAS, EL SALVADOR AND GUATEMALA...
Recent reports show that most of the illegal immigrants allowed into the United States have skipped out on their immigration and deportation hearings.
(*SMIRK*)
Senator Ted Cruz said that "it appears" the administration is deceiving the public about surge of kids.
(*SNORT*)
* YA THINK...?!?!
Citing the 2014 prediction, which was nearly correct, Cruz wrote, "Far from being an unforeseen crisis, the high number of UAC that approached the United States-Mexico border last summer appears to have been calmly predicted."
He also said the administration is "tailoring" the reasons why so many illegals fled to America.
(*NOD*)
Officials had said that home-grown violence drove kids out of their countries, making them sound like victims, but the briefing said that 51% "cite economic opportunity as a reason for migrating."
Cruz also drew attention to the briefing pages that "suggest" agencies are commingling expenses to conceal the true cost of the program while also likely spending State Department money to fight the problem in Latin America.
Cruz notes that the PowerPoint shows HHS "has, according to its own internal documentation, adopted practices and strategies that, at best, could be deemed ineffective, and at worst, do not accord with current federal law. The information also indicates not only creative and questionable bookkeeping practices, but also an intent to deceive the American people and Congress."
* YOU... STUPID... LAZY... IGNORANT... SHEEPLE...
The PowerPoint drew criticism from an outside immigration watchdog. Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies said the document indicates that the administration is not actively returning illegal juveniles and also spending heavily on the program at a time of national budget crisis.
* THREE-PARTER... (Part 1 of 3)

* HAT-TIP MICHELLE ZORNES
The United States [under President Obama] supported the secret [and illegal] supply of weapons to Libyan rebels while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State according to federal court documents obtained by Fox News.
In a sworn declaration to the District Court of Arizona May 5th 2015, a career CIA officer David Manners said, "It was then, and remains now, my opinion that the United States did participate, directly or indirectly, in the supply of weapons to the Libyan Transitional National Council."
* I WANT PROOF - NOT SIMPLY A SIGNED AFFIDAVIT; THAT NOTED... THIS SHOULD... AND WOULD IN A SANE COUNTRY OR WOULD HAVE IN AMERICA PRIOR TO THE AGE OF OBAMA... TRIGGER A FULL INVESTIGATION AND IF THE ALLEGATIONS SURVIVE SCRUTINY... FEDERAL CHARGES.
* NOTICE, FOLKS... THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I'D RESPOND NO MATTER WHO'S OX WAS BEING GORED. IT'S CALLED "HAVING PRINCIPALS." IT'S CALLED "INTELLECTUAL CONSISTENCY."
The timing matters because in the Spring of 2011 the Libyan opposition was not formally recognized, and the direct supply of arms was not authorized. At that time, the CIA Director was David Petraeus.
(*SMIRK*)
Manners testified before a grand jury investigating American defense contractor Marc Turi who faces trial this September on two counts that he allegedly violated the arms control export act by making false statements.
* HOW'BOUT FOR ILLEGALLY EXPORTING ARMS...?!?!
(*SNORT*)
Turi and his company Turi Defense Group are at the center of an ongoing federal investigation over the source and user of weapons defined in court documents as "end user" or "end use" flowing into Libya as Moammar Qaddafi's regime was collapsing in 2011.
In "United States of America v. Marc Turi and Turi Defense Group," Manners identifies himself as having 18 years experience as an intelligence officer with the CIA - with foreign postings as Chief of Station in Prague, Czechoslovakia and in Amman, Jordan. Manners also stated he was “the executive assistant to the Deputy Director of the National Security Agency."
* THE PLOT THICKENS...
Manners’ declaration supports statements made exclusively to FOX News by Turi about what President Obama's team and members of Congress knew about weapons flowing into the region during the chaotic Arab Spring of 2011.
"When this equipment landed in Libya, half went one way, and the half went the other way," Turi said, emphasizing that poor oversight, allowed individuals hostile to the United States to get arms. "The half that went the other way is the half that ended up in Syria."
* GEEZUS...
As part of Fox's ongoing investigation of the 2012 terrorist attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, as well as former Navy Seals Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, Turi spoke exclusively to FOX Senior Executive Producer Pamela Browne.
Turi was one of several thousand U.S. arms contractors licensed by the State Department to sell and move weapons around the world. He's been a "go to" guy for the U.S. government, most recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONTINUING... (Part 2 of 3)
"I got involved in this business in the 1990s," Turi explained. "I've been involved in all type of operations, regarding transportation, logistics, and liaising with those foreign governments."
Turi admits to a criminal history. He told Fox that in the late 1980's, he stole a computer, his roommate's car, and wrote bad checks including one for $100,000 dollars. Through court records, Fox News verified he was arrested, convicted, and served time in an Arizona jail.
"In my youth, I made some very very bad mistakes...I was discharged from the United States Navy other under than honorable conditions...and I've been fighting ever since to get that honor back."
* YEP. SOUNDS LIKE EXACTLY THE KIND OF GUY YOU'D EXPECT HILLARY CLINTON, BARACK OBAMA, AND DAVID PATRAEUS TO "WORK WITH."
Licensed arms contractors require painstaking compliance in order to obtain the necessary approvals set by strict U.S. government regulations.
* HA!
(*CONTEMPTUOUS LAUGHTER*)
While Hillary Clinton served as President Obama's Secretary of State, American arms dealers were awarded a record number of export licenses to sell sophisticated weapons, military parts and technology internationally.
"That's actually been a huge, policy position, of the Obama Administration," Celina Realuyo, a professor of national security at the Perry Center at the National Defense University explained to FOX. Realuyo has served two presidents with expertise in tracking down money and weaponry used in what are called "dark networks" that can channel weapons to criminal and designated foreign terrorist organizations.
More than 86-thousand licenses with a value of $44.3 billion dollars were granted in 2011... a surge of more than $10 billion dollars from the previous year.
* FOLKS... THEY'RE NOT JUST LEFTISTS... AND THEIR ACTIONS AREN'T JUST ABOUT IDEOLOGY... THESE FRIGGIN' SCUM - THE CLINTONS... ET AL. - ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY!
In the spring of 2011, Turi says his high level contacts both inside and outside of the U.S. government, encouraged him to explore options to arm the Libyan opposition as they tried to overthrow then Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi. He says his associates included David Manners, a former intelligence officer with the CIA who stated his expertise to the court as an expert with knowledge of "authorized covert arms transfers."
Turi provided documents and email exchanges with high level members of Congress as well as military, and State Department employees which are currently being reviewed by Fox News.
"If you want to limit the exposure to the U.S. government, what you simply do is outsource it to your allies," Turi said, describing the practice. "The partners - the Qataris, and the Emiratis did exactly what they were contracted to do."
Turi told Fox he never supplied any weapons to Qatar, and it was in the hands of the U.S. government and the State Department's Bureau of Political and Military Affairs which was headed by a key Clinton aide, Andrew Shapiro. Mr. Shapiro was responsible to oversee the export control process at the State Department.
* EVERYTHING THE CLINTONS HAVE A HAND IN IS ROTTEN...
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONTINUING... (Part 3 of 3 - OR PERHAPS 4... LET'S SEE...) (YEP! FOUR!)
March 2011 was a busy time for Hillary Clinton. Even today, congressional investigators doubt they have all of the emails from her personal server when she was Secretary of State. On the 14th, along with Chris Stevens, who was then the number two man in Libya serving as the embassy's Deputy Chief of Mission, Clinton met with Libya's Mustafa Jibril in Paris - a senior member of the TNC. The next day, Clinton met with Egypt's new foreign minister Nabil el Arabi in Cairo and walked through Tahrir Square with her senior adviser Huma Abedin. At the same time, Turi's proposal, a 267-million dollar contract, was working its way through U.S. government channels.
"My application was submitted on the 12th," Turi said his contacts gave the proposal to the then Secretary of State "...through their relationship with the TNC, then provided that application information to Mrs. Clinton via the TNC council when she was in Cairo. That's what was told to me...and emailed."
* EMAILED...
Turi provided Fox News with emails he exchanged - in early April 2011 - with Chris Stevens to alert him to the proposed weapons deal. The emails were previously cited by the New York Times, but Fox News is now making the message traffic public.
Stevens replied with a "thank you and wrote "I'll keep it in mind and share it with my colleagues in Washington."
(*SMIRK*)
As FOX Chief Intelligence Correspondent Catherine Herridge first reported, it was a heavily redacted email released to the Benghazi Committee last month that clearly states that on April 8, 2011, a day after the Turi/Stevens exchange, Secretary Clinton was interested in arming the rebels using contractors:
"FYI. The idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered," Clinton wrote. Significantly, the State Department released emails which blacked out this line - but the version given to the Benghazi Select Committee was complete.
(*ANOTHER SMIRK*)
In May 2011, Turi got a brokering approval from the State Department for Qatar.
* HILLARY CLINTON'S STATE DEPARTMENT...
In July, his Arizona home was raided by federal agents.
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
"They came in the full body armor, and weapons and, they take my computers and my cell phones and that was it. That was the last time I saw them. And they've been chasing me all over the world for the past three years, speaking to associates of mine all over the United States and looking into my records and my past."
* I WONDER IF THEY'LL BE RAIDING A CERTAIN MANSION IN CHAPPAQUA, NEW YORK?
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 4 of 4)
Turi's attorney Jean-Jacques Cabou told Fox in a series of emails that his client had a track record working for the "U.S. government through the Central Intelligence Agency" and the government case is an “epic fishing expedition," adding that his client"...neither lied on any application nor did he do anything other than support U.S. foreign policy and interests in the Middle East."
* OBAMA/CLINTON FOREIGN POLICY UNAUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS!
Turi believes his "zero footprint" idea was stolen out from under him, and now he is being blamed for a program that went off the rails.
Such are the stakes in this case that the Justice Department National Security Division is involved and recently requested that some proceedings remain secret under CIPA, the Classified Information Procedures Act.
(*SMIRK*)
The Federal Judge wrote on June 16 "the government can seek protection under CIPA 4 in this case only by complying with Ninth Circuit law by making a formal claim of privilege, lodged by the head of the department which has actual control over the discoverable information."
In his sworn declaration to the court, Manners said his grand jury testimony on covert arms transfers was cut off by the government lawyer. "As a result of the Assistant United States Attorney's actions, I believe that (a) the grand jury never received a full and complete picture of authorized covert arms transfers and their relevance to the present case."
* SUCH IS THE "RULE OF LAW" IN THE AGE OF OBAMA.
(*SIGH*)
"At some point, I may be that internet video excuse," Turi said, referring to statements where then-Secretary of Clinton and members of the Obama Administration wrongly blamed an obscure anti-Islam video for the 2012 terrorist attack that killed four Americans.
" "WRONGLY...?!?!" WELL... I SUPPOSE THAT'S ONE WORD FOR IT!
(*SNORT*)
"I don't know. But, it's really strange that the U.S. government would invest three years, a multi-year investigation, fly all over the world interviewing people, for an application."
(*SMIRK*)
In her only congressional testimony to date on Benghazi in January 2013, Mrs. Clinton was asked by Republican Senator Rand Paul about the flow of weapons.
"I will see what information is available," then-Secretary Clinton responded. "I don't have any information on that."
(*SNORT*)
Two weeks after her testimony, a letter from the State Department was sent to Senator Paul skirting his question and stated that the U.S. government “is not involved in any transfer of weapons from Libya to Turkey.”
* "IS." (AS OPPOSED TO "WAS.")
* TOTAL DIRTBAGS...
