Some background on Olin: From the Wikipedia page, "The Olin Corporation is an American manufacturer of ammunition, chlorine, and sodium hydroxide." Originally, this program was founded by Franklin Olin in order to supply coal mines with gunpowder and explosives. In 1898, the company expanded to include ammunition cartridges - for guns of course - for the sole purpose of maximizing profits. The business has proven itself extremely successful, as it was even a prime beneficiary of the U.S. wartime necessities pertaining to Iraq and Afghanistan - mainly after 2004. Just two years ago, Olin underwent a merger with the Dow Chemical Company in order to secure the #1 profit margins in the entire industry.

Email Synopsis: At the top of the email, you can see a message from a Sandler Foundation constituent stating, "RE. OLIN.......INTERESTING?" This instantly piqued my interest because the Sandler Foundation is a notorious Clinton donor who sold their bank to Wachovia for $2.6 billion during the American housing bubble (via Time) - which led to the Great Recession. Moreover, Herb Sandler wrote one of the most talked about Pizzagate emails, in which he asked Podesta if he'd "do better playing dominos on cheese than pasta." (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/30613)) Throw in the mention of Olin, and you have yourselves a glistening money trail.

The body of the email contains a Wall Street Journal article depicting the purposes and functions of a prestigious Yale University program, aptly titled Grand Strategy. Some quick research revealed that the students have to go through a rigorous process of recommendations, applications, and interviews in order to be admitted. If approved, the members are then greeted by Henry Kissinger, which is mentioned later on in the article. This program reeks of corrupt influences as a result of all the politicians and businessmen brought up throughout the article, with it even blatantly stating, "The class attracts a large percentage of conservative students, and all the students have benefited from the ties and contacts the men have in Washington."

The one thing regarding this email that confused me, however, is there is no mention of Olin at all in the entire article. A quick Google search of "Olin Corporation Yale" brings nothing of interest to light, except for a 1998 article stating that Yale and Olin Corporation would join forces to sponsor a science fair for New Haven - where Yale is located - public schools (http://news.yale.edu/1998/03/05/yale-university-and-olin-corporation-team-sponsor-science-fair-new-haven-public-schools)). I will keep doing investigative work to see if this money trail leads anywhere, but I urge people to help, as this program has produced numerous American political players such as the former director of the Office of Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism at the State Department, two National Security advisors, and two Lieutenant Colonels from the Army as well as the Marines. Of course, I am not sure this will produce any smoking guns regarding Pizzagate, but if we find some evidence regarding money fraud or laundering, it will be easier to convince more mainstream journalists to investigate our cause.
