CLG: Google sought overthrow of Syria's Assad, Clinton email reveals, 'Catastrophe waiting to happen': Sanders wants to close nuclear plant 25 miles from NYC

Dear CLG Readers,

I received hundreds of 'bounced' CLG Newsletters, due to Microsoft declaring, 'This message looks like a ph-shing scam and has been blocked for your safety.'  You see, I mentioned the Panama Papers - likely a no-no - along w. the lead story, revealing news that trained militias of the CIA and Pentagon are shooting each other. Anyway, my apologies for the double, to those who actually received the first copy. --LRP

Your tax dollars at work: In Syria, Militias Armed by the Pentagon Fight Those Armed by the CIA | 28 March 2016 | Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border, highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the bitter five-year-old [US-created] civil war. The fighting has intensified over the last two months, as CIA-armed units and Pentagon-armed ones have repeatedly shot at each other while maneuvering through contested territory on the northern outskirts of Aleppo, U.S. officials and rebel leaders have confirmed. In mid-February, a CIA-armed militia called Fursan al Haq, or Knights of Righteousness, was run out of the town of Marea, about 20 miles north of Aleppo, by Pentagon-backed Syrian Democratic Forces moving in from Kurdish-controlled areas to the east.
