Hillary Emails: Intelligence Report Said Hezbollah Has Base in Cuba
Breitbart ^ | February 17, 2016 | Jordan Schachtel

Posted on 02/18/2016 1:21:35 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

A private intelligence report from Hillary Clinton's confidant, Sid Blumenthal, claimed that Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist organization, had set up shop in Cuba, according to an email released by the State Department over the weekend.

The group was actively "casing" facilities related to U.S. interests, the intelligence report also says.

The dispatch read:

During the week of September 5, 2011 extremely sensitive sources reported in confidence that the Israeli Intelligence and Security Service (Mossad) has informed the leadership of the Israeli Government that Hezbollah is establishing an operational base in Cuba, designed to support terrorist attacks throughout Latin America.

The confidential intelligence report from Blumenthal to Clinton continued:

These sources believe that Hezbollah supporters have been instructed to also begin casing facilities associated with the United States and the United Kingdom, including diplomatic missions, major banks, and businesses in the region. These individuals believe that the Hezbollah military commanders in Lebanon and Syria view these U.S. and U.K. entities as contingency targets to be attacked in the event of U.S. and British military intervention in either Syria or Iran, at some point in the future.

Breitbart News has reported extensively on Hezbollah's encroachment into the western hemisphere, noting the group's rapid rise in the west in recent years.

U.S. officials, members of Congress, and defense experts continue to warn that Iran is utilizing Hezbollah to expand its influence in the region, and is utilizing cultural centers and mosques to spread the message of the Shia Islamic revolution.........

Feb 17, 2016: Report: Obama to visit Cuba in next 30 days

President Obama will visit Cuba in the next 30 days, making it the first time the U.S. commander in chief has traveled there since the Castro brothers took control of the island nation in 1959.

ABC News reported late Wednesday that Obama would visit the country, just 90 miles off the southern tip of Florida, citing an unnamed sources.

In December 2014, the Obama administration and Cuban government announced plans to normalize diplomatic relations between both nations.

Cuba Returns America's Wayward Hellfire Missile

"Cuba has returned an American Hellfire anti-tank missile that was mistakenly shipped to the country. The missile, which was full of sensitive military electronics, was on its way home from a NATO exercise in Europe when, for some reason, it was diverted to the island country.

The Hellfire is a mainstay of the U.S. military's anti-tank missile force, and recently has been adapted for use by drones such as the Predator or Reaper. Originally laser-guided, the Hellfire has newer versions that use millimeter-wave radar to seek and lock onto targets before destroying them with a 20-pound shaped charge warhead.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which originally covered the diversion, the missile had been shipped to Spain for a NATO military exercise. On the return trip to Florida the 100 pound missile was sent to Germany, then France… then inexplicably sent on an Air France flight to Cuba."............

Tension Simmers as Cubans Breeze Across U.S. Border "................In coming weeks the number of Cubans is expected to spike, as more than 5,000 who have been stalled in Costa Rica since late last year will leave there on regular plane flights agreed to by governments in Central America and Mexico. Already about 12,100 Cubans entered through Laredo and other Texas border stations in the last three months of 2015, according to official figures. Border officials say as many as 48,000 Cubans could cross here this year, more than all those who came in the last two years combined.

Under the Cuban Adjustment Act, a law Congress passed in 1966 in the early years of enmity with Fidel Castro, any Cuban who sets foot on American soil is given permission to enter, known as parole. Cubans are also eligible for federal welfare benefits including financial assistance for nine months under separate policies from the 1980s. After a year, they can apply for permanent residency, a gateway to citizenship.

The recent exodus from Cuba began in mid-2014, even before President Obama in December of that year announced a restoration of diplomatic relations with the government, now led by Mr. Castro's brother Raul. In a major change, President Raul Castro allowed Cubans to leave the country without exit visas. Many Cubans have said that rumors that the special entry to the United States would be canceled had caused them to pack up and go.

"The rumors are unfounded," Alan Bersin, assistant secretary of Homeland Security, said in an interview, seeking to dispel the fears. "The Cuban Adjustment Act is still in effect and is part of the overall immigration policy and there is no intent presently to change that."..........

"Hillary Emails: Intelligence Report Said Hezbollah Has Base in Cuba"

Well, it's all part of the Russia-Cuba-Venezuela-Iran-Hezbollah-Syria alliance.

Pro-Hezbollah Paper: Russia, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah Form Alliance

Sept 23, 2015

A prominent pro-Hezbollah newspaper in Lebanon reported Tuesday that Russia and the terrorist organization have formed an alliance and will fight together in Syria. "The parties to the alliance are the states of Russia, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, with Lebanon's Hezbollah as the fifth party,"

Al-Akhbar Editor in Chief Ibrahim al-Amin wrote. The pact would be called the "4+1 alliance"--a pun based on the P5+1 that negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran. Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran based in Lebanon and Moscow has been working with Tehran to save Bashar al-Assad's regime, even sending men and weapons to Syria.

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

BY: Bill Gertz
February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

How Russia arms America's southern neighbors

Ioan Grillo
May 9, 2014

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia Ramping Up Military Drills to Cold War Levels, NATO Says

Feb 5, 2016 - FoxNews.com

Russia has stepped up its military maneuvers to a level unseen since the height of the Cold War, according to a new report released by NATO Thursday.

Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance's secretary general and author of the report, noted that Moscow has conducted at least 18 large-scale exercises over the past three years, "some of which have involved more than 100,000 troops."

Those exercises included several simulated nuclear attacks against NATO allies and partner nations ..."

Yep. And Venezuela has been allowing direct, unchecked flights of Hamas and Hezbollah operatives and materials from Iran to Venezuela, where identities are laundered and they are free to head north to the door Obama’s regime has been holding open for them. That was until 2011, when a whistleblower reported what was going on. Since then, the direct flights have been from...... (wait for it)...... SYRIA.

And Obama plans to be yukking it up in Cuba and Venezuela (as well as in other communist South American nations and with the terrorist group FARC) in November and December of this year - right about the time an Iranian or NK EMP attack exploiting the hole in our southern radar defense would enable Obama to be POTUS for “8 to 10 years”, as he said he would be back in July of 2008. Both Iran and NK have the nukes necessary for such an attack, both have placed satellites into orbit at the precise altitude and with the precise orbit to exploit that hole, and both have embassies close enough to the US to detonate a nuke from - NK in Havana, Cuba and Iran in Caracas, Venezuela (the very places where Obama will be “celebrating his accomplishments” in November and December). NK’s satellites are tumbling so they don’t work for an EMP attack yet, but China can easily correct that “problem” when they think it’s safe for the trigger-happy Kim Jong Un to have a functioning EMP capability. The bomb NK just tested is believed to be a SUPER EMP.

Obama is a foreign enemy combatant put into place by the crimes of the Islamists and communists in the coup of 2008. He’s been working for 7 years to put us in this dangerous place, and he is NOT going to let his “legacy” go to waste.
