A very intriguing Federal Security Services (FSB) report prepared for The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (SLEDKOM) relating to the trial of Ukrainian “spy/terrorist” Nadiya (Nadezhda) Savchenko states that “beyond top secret” emails obtained from a “private computer storage device” belonging to former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “should/must” be allowed into the sentencing phase of this case due not only to their “critical relevance”, but, also, because the “apprehension” of them falls outside the purview of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).
According to this report, Nadiya Savchenko is a former Ukraine Air Force pilot who in 2014 joined the neo-Nazi Aidar Battalion, which is a volunteer military detachment of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense currently fighting against Russian separatist factions in their eastern regions and has been the target of many war crimes investigations.
On 6 June 2014, this report continues, Nadiya Savchenko entered into the Federation from Ukraine and presented herself before Federal Migration Service (FMS) officials stating that she was a refugee and requesting she be granted Russian identity documents—which were approved.
On 17 June 2014, this report notes, while on Federation soil and in the possession of (legal) Russian identity documents, Nadiya Savchenko used her cellular phone to secretly adjust mortar fire from her Aidar Battalion terrorist allies in Ukraine onto a militia roadblock in the vicinity of Metallist village in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) killing Russian television reporter Vladimirovich Kornelyuk and his sound engineer Anton Voloshin.
With the facts relating to Nadiya Savchenko’s terrorist crimes and neo-Nazi affiliations having been fully documented during her trial, FSB legal analysts in this report state, the “beyond top secret” emails belonging to former Secretary Hillary Clinton are critical for the court’s “understanding/consideration” in sentencing as they “directly relate” to the causes as to why this murderer has become the West’s latest cause célèbre against Russia.
According to these FSB analysts, the specific emails obtained from former Secretary Hillary Clinton involving Nadiya Savchenko were written by US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland who masterminded what the private American intelligence firm Stratfor (known as the Shadow CIA) called the “most blatant coup in history” in toppling Ukraine’s legitimate government.
And with these emails having a US government classification of SAP (an acronym for ‘special access programs,’ a level of classification above top secret), this report further notes, the “black project” nature of the American’s attempting to subvert justice in the case of Nadiya Savchenko has not only been confirmed, but also explained.
For what these emails show, this report explains, was that upon the FSB’s arrest and detention of Nadiya Savchenko for her crimes in 2014, Assistant Secretary Nuland began a “counter campaign” of Western propaganda depicting this neo-Nazi terrorist as a heroic female pilot unjustly being persecuted by Russia—and while at the same time not a single report of Foreign Minister Lavrov’s extensive report to the international media has yet appeared on any major online American, French, British and German newspaper portals or television channels, the coverage of this Nazi terrorist has been non-stop.
Most intriguing, however, about this FSB report is its advising the Investigative Committee that it is legal to use these Secretary Hillary Clinton’s emails against Nadiya Savchenko as the method(s) in which they were obtained were outside of the jurisdiction of the SVR.
This is an important distinction to note due to if these were emails obtained from a foreign government (in this case the US), the SVR would have “sole and exclusive” domain over them and would never allow their admittance in court due to the high security level they would be held under.
Having been obtained from Secretary Hillary Clinton’s “private computer email server” though, FSB legal analysts state in this report, these emails are to be considered as outside of US government jurisdiction and thus legal, under Russian law, to be used in any matter before the court.
As to how exactly the FSB obtained these “beyond top secret” Secretary Hillary Clinton emails this report doesn’t say, but it is important to note that the former US Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, did recently acknowledge that theywere in the possession of Russia and, just yesterday, the US State Department was forced to admit that 22 “top secret” emails were found on her private email server she had previously told the American weren’t there because she deleted them.

The day has finally come for all UFO lovers and those who still believe ‘the truth is out there’. The CIA has released thousands of declassified documents on flying saucers.
The agency humorously noted that X-Files’ Fox Mulder would certainly love to use them to prove the existence of extraterrestrials.
“We’ve decided to highlight a few documents both skeptics and believers will find interesting. Below you will find five documents we think X-Files character Agent Fox Mulder would love to use to try and persuade others of the existence of extraterrestrial activity,” the agency said.
All the documents date from the late 1940s and ’50s.
The CIA picked several documents which may be particularly interesting. They include files from East Germany (1952) where the agents were investigating a story of “a huge flying pan” which had a diameter of about 15 meters.
Another document which would cheer up extraterrestrial fans says that similar ‘flying saucers’ were seen in Spain and North Africa.
“The picture [of the object] shows a diagonal stripe of diminishing width and lighter in shade than the sky over the dark bulk of a building cornice,” the document says.

The CIA even included several pictures of the alleged extraterrestrial objects, including UFOs and suggested alien body parts. The release of the ‘conspiracy’ files surprisingly coincided with the release of new X-Files series.
One of CIA documents explains how to take better photos of UFOs.
“Take several pictures of the object; as many as you can. If you can, include some ground in the picture of the UFO,” the agency advised.
However, for those who sided with skeptical Agent Dana Scully all nine seasons, the CIA said it released documents “to prove there is a scientific explanation for UFO sightings.”
The CIA has frequently organized scientific panels to discuss the nature of these allegedly alien objects. In many cases, the scientists concluded that “the subject UFO is not of direct intelligence interest.”

Migrants in Germany stabbed a father who was out walking with his baby and then chased the pair into a freezing pond as rescuers were forced to revive the infant from the brink of death.
The incident occurred in the city of Hamburg on Monday night. The 24-year-old father was walking near the Lohmühle Pond at around 10:30pm when he was confronted by two dark-haired men speaking a foreign language.
The attackers demanded the father hand over his money and phone. Protesting that he didn’t have either, the father was then viciously stabbed by the attackers as he attempted to flee with his daughter.
The father was forced to jump into the freezing pond which was partially covered with ice. His cries for help alerted local residents who called the police.
Rescuers pulled the pair from the lake to shore and had to revive the baby, which was subsequently taken to the University Hospital Eppendorf intensive care unit. The father suffered from hypothermia and multiple stab wounds.
“The attackers are described as two men of about 30 years old; one of them is 170 to 175 cm tall, has dark hair, spoke an “unknown language” and was wearing dark hooded jacket with fur trim. His accomplice is about 10 cm higher, also has dark hair and spoke no German,” reports 10NewsDK.
The incident serves as yet another reminder that Germany is inviting untold numbers of migrants into the country who are prone to criminal behavior amidst the one million plus “refugees” that have arrived in the past year alone.
However, left-wingers in the country are still insistent that concerns about migrants engaging in criminal acts, despite the mass molestation of women in Cologne and other German cities on New Year’s Eve, are based on bigotry.
As we reported earlier this week, women in Cologne visited the city’s biggest refugee center and handed out roses to apologize for “xenophobia” directed towards migrants after the attacks in Cologne.

MUOS-3 Navy communications satellite and Atlas-V rocket at pad 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, for launch on January 20, 2015.
Despite John McCain’s profound displeasure, US defense officials are not inclined to abandon the RD-180 Russian rocket engines until 2021 or 2022 earliest.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the United States Air Force has become one of Russia’s longstanding customers: for years the Pentagon was buying the RD-180 Russian rocket engines to put its satellites into space.
However, after the Washington-fomented February coup in Ukraine in 2014, the Russo-American relationship has deteriorated.
The Pentagon has faced the painful dilemma of whether or not to abandon the RD-180, a cost-effective booster engine with unique features, which powers the Atlas 5 rocket built by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co.
Sen. John McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, believes that the US Air Force should stop buying Russian rocket-engines as soon as possible.
In order to overcome the US Air Force’s Russian engines “addiction,” Senator McCain and Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy have proposed legislation which would ban the import of the NPO Energomash RD-180 engines by 2019.
“It is morally outrageous and strategically foolish to ask American taxpayers to subsidize Russia’s military industrial base,” McCain said in an official statement, referring, predictably, to Russia’s non-existent invasion of Ukraine and Moscow’s imaginary threat to Europe.
“Our policies should facilitate a competitive environment that provides the incentive to scale each component required to access space. This was achieved in the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act that was signed into law. But in a last minute maneuver, a provision was tucked into an unrelated spending bill that provides an indefinite lifeline to Russian rocket engines to power American space launches,” McCarthy told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
It is turn the Air Force says that it has no alternative but to use the Russian engines, Dave Majumdar, the Defense Editor of The National Interest, notes in his article.
The service argues that “it is required by law to provide short access to space using commercial services,” the journalist points out, explaining that the Pentagon needs eighteen RD-180s “on hand at any time” for its heavy lifters. Whether one likes it or not, right now there is no viable alternative to the RD-180 booster engines.
“We must keep in mind the only launch vehicles that can reach the full range of orbit and carry our heaviest payloads today, remain the Atlas and Delta families,” Air Force secretary Deborah Lee James told the Senate Armed Services Committee, as quoted by Majumdar.
​Robert Orton Work, the current United States Deputy Secretary of Defense, said in an official statement on Wednesday that the Pentagon regards public-private partnerships as a way to suspend the reliance on Russian boosters. The initiative is expected to be kicked off in fiscal 2017.
However, Work added that it is not until 2021 or 2022 that the Pentagon will stop using the Russian-made engines.

Police in the German town of Kiel were told not to prosecute or arrest migrants for petty crimes, media have revealed. The instruction, which was filed weeks before the sexual harassment scandal in Cologne on New Year’s Eve, cited a lack of IDs among the migrants.
The documents first emerged in Bild newspaper and local Kieler Nachrichten daily. According to the media, the official guidelines of Kiel police department called for restriction of the prosecution for petty offences such as shoplifting or vandalism.
Police department and prosecutor’s office reportedly held a “collective discussion” on October 7 to discuss criminal charges toward refugees who might commit crimes in Germany upon arrival. They found out that most of the refugees and migrants didn’t have any proper documents or registration.
The authorities then concluded that the costs of pursuing migrants for small offenses were too high, while the chances of success in court were too low, the media said.
However, the leaked document stated that more serious offenses, such as “serious cases of theft and personal injury” should be treated the same, regardless of the origin of the perpetrator.
Sexual harassment of women by male refugees and migrants on New Year’s Eve is the main issue that has been making headlines since the beginning of the year.
The first city to report about mass sexual harassment was Cologne, Germany. According to eyewitnesses, “heavily intoxicated” men of “Arab or North African” origin were harassing and assaulting local women in the city center on New Year’s Eve.
Similar cases have been reported in other German cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Stuttgart. Police were also accused of covering up migrant attacks in Sweden and Denmark.
