In two sentences, Barack liar-nObama’s National Security Advisor (and well-documented liar) reiterates the moral bankruptcy of her former boss. In 2009, when hundreds of thousands of demonstrators risked their lives to protest Iran’s rigged elections, liar-nObama decided America shouldn’t “meddle” in Iran’s internal affairs (unlike his administration’s efforts to facilitate meddling in the 2015 Israeli election). “The last thing that I want to do is to have the United States be a foil for those forces inside Iran who would love nothing better than to make this an argument about the United States,” he stated at the time.
What he didn’t state? That he preferred implementing his contemptible nuclear deal to abetting regime change. That he preferred a postmodern U.S. foreign policy requiring apologies, a “leading from behind” strategy that set the entire Middle East on fire, and enabling Iranian dreams of a “Shiite Crescent” across the entire region. A Shiite Crescent largely underwritten by a cash payment of $1.7 billion sent to Tehran’s tyrannical theocrats, even as the administration had the temerity to insist it was necessitated by international sanctions isolating Iran from the international finance system.
Moreover, in pursuit of that deal, the liar-nObama administration was willing to lie about the timeline of negotiations and the nature of the regime, evade constitutional requirements to win its congressional approval (courtesy of a successful Democrat Party filibuster), and undermine a DEA operation attempting to prevent Iranian client Hezbollah from smuggling millions of dollars of cocaine into the United States.
In spite of it all — along with the pathetically predictable omission/commission machinations of the Democrat/Media Complex dedicated to reframing the narrative in liar-nObama’s favor — the world is now learning neither the administration’s payoff, nor the additional billions that poured into Iran following the lifting of sanctions, mollified ordinary Iranians left out of the loop. While the ruling elites have been enriched, real unemployment (as opposed to fudged government statistics) hovers around 22.5%, inflation is running at 10%, pushing up the costs of basic necessities, and government corruption has been, as The New Arab puts it, “widespread, institutionalised, and systemic.”
In short, the promises of an economic boom the elimination of sanctions was supposed to generate were fraudulent.
A sampling of the shouts being heard among the protesters is indicative. They include “Death to the dictator,” “Death to Khamenei,” “Today is the mourning day,” “the rights of our nation are plundered by mullahs,” and “We die and will get back Iran.” And when demonstrators were attacked by the police they shouted, “Police, go arrest the thieves.”
Nonetheless, the protests — and the scores of deaths engendered by them — remain insufficiently persuasive to more cluelessly arrogant liar-nObama administration officials who despise President Donald Trump’s full-throated support of the revolutionaries, “acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime.” Support that began months before the current uprising, when he stood before the UN General Assembly last September and predicted the regime’s demise. “Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever, and the day will come when the Iranian people will face a choice,” Trump stated. “Will they continue down the path of poverty, bloodshed, and terror? Or will the Iranian people return to the nation’s proud roots as a center of civilization, culture, and wealth where their people can be happy and prosperous once again?”
Such rhetoric stands in stark contrast to that of feckless former Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry, who insists this is “an Iranian moment and not anyone else’s.” The same John hanoi-Kerry who admitted that a portion of the money derived from the lifting of sanctions would support terror.
In addition to hanoi-Kerry, we have former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes — who bragged about cultivating, useful idiot, media dupes to disseminate the lies used to sell the Iran deal — also declaring the protests are “about what Iranians want for Iran, and not about us.”
And last but not least, former Democrat presidential candidate liar-Hillary Clinton, who offered up predictably progressive pabulum. “The Iranian people, especially the young, are protesting for the freedom and future they deserve,” she tweeted. “I hope their government responds peacefully and supports their hopes.”
As beaten and bloodied Iranian survivors are discovering, hope is not a strategy.
“The events unfolding in Iran right now are therefore a long time coming, and ought to be welcomed not only by those fearful of the ‘Islamic bomb’ that Iran is hell-bent on possessing and which the liar-nObama administration’s disgraceful, faciliatory ‘deal’ made all but inevitable, but by all adherents of the Western notion of freedom” asserts columnist Michael Walsh.
Walsh’s heart is in the right place, but as he himself has said in another column, a substantial number of leftists in media and the Democrat Party “have adopted a single unwavering posture toward Republican and conservative presidents: they’re against them, no matter what.” Moreover, he insists the communist-based “critical theory” that drives much of that opposition arises from the idea that “there is nothing foundational about Western Civilization that should not be attacked, countermanded, or demolished.”
Thus, whether they realize it or not, Democrats and their media enablers have a serious dilemma, especially as it relates to the 2018 election. If they voice full support for regime change in Iran, they will not only repudiate eight years of support for liar-nObama’s contemptible Iranian machinations, but align themselves with Donald Trump. The same Donald Trump they so despise that they have formalized a “Resistance” movement against him.
Even more ominous, if the Iranian counter-revolution is successful and the American economy maintains its upward swing, Democrats will be forced to face their ultimate nightmare: running against peace and prosperity in the 2018 midterms.
The alternative? Publicly supporting the demonstrations and privately hoping they fail. Or, if they do fail, attempting to pin that failure on Trump — for his unambiguous support of freedom.
In the meantime, Trump should “continue issuing condemnations daily, including through Persian-language media outlets, and follow up with sanctions targeting corruption and human-rights abuses,” Wall Street Journal columnists Mark Dubowitz and Ray Takeyh declare. They further insist Congress should “rediscover its once-bipartisan determination to hold the regime accountable for its crimes and push America’s European allies to overcome their mercantile greed and support Iranians striving to be free from theocracy.”
The former assertion is obvious. The latter assertion? For a Democrat Party determined to delegitimize a Trump presidency by any means necessary, it’s one of the most compelling “damned if they do, damned if they don’t” political decisions they have faced in over a decade. ~The Patriot Post

Trump’s Treasury Slaps Iran With New Sanctions — and More May Be Coming
The Treasury Department issued sanctions on five Iran-based businesses that are tied to the rogue state’s ballistic missile progam — and that may be just the start of what President Donald Trump is planning against Tehran.
Back in October, Trump had vowed tough crackdowns on Iran:
Apparently, he hasn’t forgotten his campaign rhetoric.
Secretary Steve Mnuchin said the White House would “continue to decisively counter the Iranian regime’s malign activity,” and issue whatever sanctions are needed to address the country’s human rights abuses and ballistic missiles’ offense.
The Jerusalem Post has more:
The Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned five Iran-based entities involved in Tehran’s ballistic missile program and announced its intent to add more sanctions on Iran over its treatment of anti-government protesters this past week, just as critical deadlines approach for US President Donald Trump on sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear work. …
“These sanctions target key entities involved in Iran’s ballistic missile program, which the Iranian regime prioritizes over the economic well-being of the Iranian people,” said Mnuchin. “As the Iranian people suffer, their government and the IRGC fund foreign militants, terrorist networks, and human rights abuses.”
The latest sanctions target sections of Iran’s Shahid Bakeri Industrial Group, responsible for the development and production of control systems, fiber materials, solid-propellant and motor cases critical to Iran’s ballistic missiles.
Trump and his vice president, Mike Pence, have said in recent days that the administration would consider additional sanctions on Tehran in light of its treatment of Iranian demonstrators, who took to the streets this past week calling for economic and political reforms.
Hundreds have been arrested and over 20 people have been killed in the unrest.
“The president is weighing additional actions to punish the regime for its belligerent behavior and assault on its own citizens,” Pence said on Wednesday.
Trump also suggested he will take additional action in the coming days.
“Such respect for the people of Iran as they try to take back their corrupt government,” he tweeted. “You will see great support from the United States at the appropriate time!”
Meanwhile, Trump faces deadlines on sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program next week, waived every 120 days in line with a nuclear deal reached between Tehran and world powers in 2015.
The White House has not commented on whether Trump will continue those sanctions waivers, which would keep the US in line with the nuclear pact.
Democrats are clearly infuriated at the idea that the federal government will now be prevented from confiscating quite as much of the earnings of tens of millions of Americans as it did last year. In a bizarre twist of logic, Democrats see tax cuts as greedy American citizens stealing from government. That is evidenced in their rhetoric, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi calling the tax cuts “Armageddon,” and Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer accusing Republicans of “giving the richest few a bigger piece of the pie.”
Socialist Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders (D-VT) called it a “looting of the federal treasury,” at least before conceding to CNN’s Jake Tapper that 91% of the middle class he claims to champion will, in fact, benefit from the Republican tax cuts, and then blaming Republicans for not making the cuts permanent. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) brilliantly trolled commie-Sanders on Twitter, inviting him to co-sponsor legislation doing just that.
The common thread in the government-loving leftist narrative is that government has a right to whatever portion of our earnings it deems necessary to achieve its ends, with taxpayers as slaves whose labor provides the necessary funding.
Democrats have hijacked and distorted language and turned it on its face, accusing workers who want to keep more of their money to provide for their families of being “greedy,” while painting government, which takes our earnings by force to give to those who have not earned it, as altruistic. Harvard economist Thomas Sowell captures the essence of this looking-glass logic, stating, “I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.”
As to the why of the progressive Democrat pursuit of what renowned economist Frederic Bastiat called “legal plunder,” well, that is a logical political calculation on their part, and it comes down to raw power. For, as socialist playwright George Bernard Shaw smugly noted, “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul.” Democrats seek to steal greater amounts from a shrinking number of workers, with the clear knowledge that voters benefitting from the redistribution of those ill-gotten gains will keep them in power.
Democrats claim to be horrified at the thought that tax cuts will (allegedly) increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion over 10 years (as if keeping money in private hands, rather than ever-expanding government spending, is the problem). Yet an astute observer would note these same Democrats happily ran up the deficit during the Barack liar-nObama years, resulting in $10 trillion in new debt.
Tax cuts are good policy. As liberal icon John F. Kennedy declared in 1962, in calling for significant cuts to the corporate and personal income tax rates, “In short, it is a paradoxical truth that … the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.”
Tax cuts are also morally sound, allowing free men and women to provide for the care of their families, rather than be rendered serfs on a government master’s plantation, retaining just enough of the fruits of their labor to maintain subsistence.
And while leftists claim taxes need to be higher so the so-called “rich” can pay their “fair share,” let’s remind them they can voluntarily donate more of their money to government if they wish. That is, unless they wish to admit their philosophy is not about caring for the needy, but about cultivating envy and justifying theft.
Thus, speaking of benevolence with money, another fear regarding the impact of tax cuts is that, with the standard deductions and child tax credits doubling, it will drastically reduce the number of people who itemize and, therefore, reduce the number of people who give to charity.
Such a thought shows a misunderstanding of the nature of charity, which is a voluntary, individual act (by definition, government cannot be charitable, because it uses force). The American people are empirically the most generous people on Earth, giving twice as much in personal charity as the next closest country, Canada.
People give to charity not for tax breaks (which would be silly; the taxes saved are far less than the amount given to charity), but out of a sincere desire to help their fellow man. Last year alone, individual Americans donated nearly $300 billion to charity, nearly three times more than was donated by foundations and corporations.
The reality is that with more money in their own pockets, there will be more available for Americans to donate to charity. Multiple studies show the more conservative and religious a person is, the more they donate to charity, both in hard dollars and as a percentage of income. (Perhaps that’s tied with the way leftists think about taxes and deductions.) There is no reason to think the tax cuts will do anything but encourage even greater charitable giving, since those who were previously barely making ends meet may now have the means, and the desire, to share. ~The Patriot Post

Nonie Darwish: Is Quran-Inspired Advocacy Penetrating American Politics?
It is hard not to notice the similarities between the scare tactics used by Leftist anti-Trump resistance movement and the Islamic tactics used against non-Muslims, the Kafir.
One of the most notorious terror verses in the Quran commanding Muslims to terrorize and torture non-Muslims is “I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” 8:12
This Islamic terror verse has inspired many Islamic jihadists to kill and torture non-Muslims. But today, Muslim DNC official, Congressman Keith Ellison, has cleverly inserted this egregious verse into the US political discussion. Ellison said: “Strike Fear in the heart of Donald Trump” while holding the Handbook of the domestic terror group “ANTIFA.” Ellison could not claim this as just a coincidence and not inspired by a terror verse from the Quran because he is a Muslim and should know the link between what he said and what the Quran commands. He thought that by changing the word “terror” to the word “fear,” Americans would not link his threat to our president to Islamic jihad terror.
One of ANTIFA’s goals is to use violent attacks and vigilante street justice against those whom they call “fascist.” They feel entitled and are proud of their terror and violence, just like Islamic jihadists. They wear all black cloths and in masks adding to their exhibitionist scare tactics, very similar to those who perform Islamic jihad. Hizbullah and Hamas armies and terrorist beheaders often use facial masks as well.
Keith Ellison’s endorsement of the ANTIFA booklet advocating violence while bragging about the use of Quran-inspired fear against the US president is in and of itself a call for jihad threats of terror to achieve one’s goals.
As an elected official who is also the second man in the Democratic National Committee, this is a lot more outrageous than Kathy Griffin holding the fake severed bloody head of President Trump. Yet another Islamic inspired over-the-top “joke” by progressive Leftists, among many.
Another recent threat of violence against the White House came from activist and delegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Linda Sarsour, when she called for “jihad” against the president at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention.
The similarities in tactics and language against perceived enemies is also noticeable in the use the words “insane,” “unfit” or “unbalanced.” The progressive leftist media and politicians have been slandering President Trump on a daily basis with accusations of insanity. Tyrannical societies are known to sending leaders of the opposition mental institutions for being “mad” because they disagree with them.
Daily, President Trump is being called “crazy,” “unstable” and “unfit” on American TV, and that does not only influence public opinion inside the United States, but around the world. In fact, US media is doing the bidding for our enemies to disrespect and hate our leaders, but only those from one party, the Republican Party. Leaders of Iran and North Korea are constantly referring to Trump as unstable, thanks to US media feeding them this fake propaganda. With friends like the US media towards the Republican Party, who needs enemies?
Again, the tactic of calling one’s enemies “crazy” is common among tyrannies around the world and is commonly used in the Muslim world to isolate, belittle and shame the opposition. Apostates out of Islam are often killed or sent to mental institutions because Muslim society believe they are “crazy” for not believing in Islam.
Like Islamist TV, leftist-leaning TV anchors in the West are foaming in the mouth, just like angry sheikhs against non-Muslims, but in the West, the hatred and the anger is against an elected president and leader of the Republican Party. To the progressive Leftists, just like Islamists on Arab TV, nothing is off limits if it fits their agenda and God save those whom they call “insane.”

The author of the explosive new Trump book says he can't be sure if parts of it are true

- "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" has set the political world ablaze.
- It contains vivid, detailed, and embarrassing accounts of President Donald Trump and those around him.
- But the book's author, Michael Wolff, says he can't be sure that all of it is true.
The author of the explosive new book about Donald Trump's presidency acknowledged in an author's note that he wasn't certain all of its content was true.
Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," included a note at the start that casts significant doubt on the reliability of the specifics contained in the rest of its pages.
Several of his sources, he says, were definitely lying to him, while some offered accounts that flatly contradicted those of others.
But some were nonetheless included in the vivid account of the West Wing's workings, in a process Wolff describes as "allowing the reader to judge" whether the sources' claims are true.

In other cases, the media columnist said, he did use his journalistic judgment and research to arrive at what he describes "a version of events I believe to be true."
Here is the relevant part of the note, from the 10th page of the book's prologue:
"Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. These conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book.
"Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in the accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true."
The book itself, reviewed by Business Insider from a copy acquired prior to its Friday publication, is not always clear about what level of confidence the author has in any particular assertion.
Lengthy, private conversations are reported verbatim, as are difficult-to-ascertain details like what somebody was thinking or how the person felt.
Wolff attributes his book to "more than two hundred interviews" with people including Trump and "most members of his senior staff." According to the news website Axios, Wolff has dozens of hours of tapes to back up what he said.
Claims contained in the book have been widely reported by the media in the US and further afield.
They include assertions that Trump never wanted to be president, that all of his senior staff considered him an idiot, that he tried to lock the Secret Service out of his room, and that he ate at McDonald's to avoid being poisoned.
Business Insider rounded up some more of the most eye-catching claims in this article.
Trump, who sought to block publication of the book but was too late, tweeted Thursday that it was "full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don't exist."
The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, described the book as "complete fantasy."
Asked to rebut specific points, she said: "I'm not going to waste my time or the country's time going page by page and talking about a book that is complete fantasy and just full of tabloid gossip."
Other people mentioned in the book have also disputed claims made about them.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who the book said warned Trump that he may be under surveillance from British spies, issued a statement describing the claim as "categorically absurd" and "simply untrue."
Anna Wintour, the longtime Vogue editor, also dismissed the claim that she lobbied Trump to be his ambassador to the UK as "laughably preposterous."
Other journalists have also urged caution. Some cited Wolff's track record — questions were raised about his 2008 book on Rupert Murdoch — and others compared his claims with their own knowledge of the Trump White House.
On Friday morning, Wolff responded to claims about the accuracy of his book in an interivew with NBC's "Today" show.
Host Savannah Guthrie asked him: "You stand by everything in the book? Nothing made up?"
He responded: "Absolutely everything in the book."
Shortly after, he expanded, saying: "I am certainly and absolutely, in every way, comfortable with everything I've reported in this book."
This isn't necessarily at odds with what he said in the author's note, as it allows for the possibility that he was told something untrue and repeated it without realising, or reached a wrong conclusion when presenting a version of contested events.

Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence.....
....Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.....
....to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!
Senate Judiciary Republicans refer dossier author Chris Steele to DOJ for criminal investigation
Sen. Chuck Grassley. Thomson Reuters
- Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham on Friday sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department about Christopher Steele, the author of the so-called Trump-Russia dossier.
- The referral, sent along with undisclosed classified attachments, accused Steele of making false statements about speaking to the press about the dossier's claims.
- Legal experts said the referral seemed politically motivated insofar as it did not appear to provide information to the FBI that it did not already have.
Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham on Friday issued a criminal referral to the Justice Department, urging it to examine whether the former British spy Christopher Steele made false statements to the FBI "about the distribution of claims" contained in a dossier he wrote about alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Chris Wray, Grassley and Graham wrote: "Attached please find a classified memorandum related to certain communications between Christopher Steele and multiple US news outlets regarding the so-called 'Trump dossier' that Mr. Steele compiled on behalf of Fusion GPS for the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee and also provided to the FBI."
The senators, both members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, continued: "Based on the information contained therein, we are respectfully referring Mr. Steele to you for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, for statements the Committee has reason to believe Mr. Steele made regarding his distribution of information contained in the dossier."
The criminal referral does not pertain to the veracity of the dossier's claims and "is not intended to be an allegation of a crime," a press release from the committee says.

"I don't take lightly making a referral for criminal investigation," Grassley said in a statement. "But, as I would with any credible evidence of a crime unearthed in the course of our investigations, I feel obliged to pass that information along to the Justice Department for appropriate review."
Graham said in a separate statement that "after reviewing how Mr. Steele conducted himself in distributing information contained in the dossier and how many stop signs the DOJ ignored in its use of the dossier, I believe that a special counsel needs to review this matter."
The senators did not disclose what led them to believe that Steele had misled the FBI. It is unclear why the Justice Department would not have moved to charge Steele if the bureau had found evidence of wrongdoing in its interviews with him.
Steele's relationship with the bureau long predated his role in collecting information in the dossier, and the FBI took his intelligence seriously as it corroborated aspects of the investigation it had already opened into Russia's interference in the 2016 US election.
There is no evidence that Steele was ever under FBI investigation or gave a formal interview to the bureau, raising questions about whether his comments to federal agents about the dossier were material.
"I cannot understand why it would be necessary for members of Congress to make a criminal referral to the FBI concerning information we know the FBI already has," said Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who also sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the committee's ranking member, said, "I wasn't consulted about this referral, nor were any of my Democratic colleagues."
A political stunt?
Legal experts said the referral seemed politically motivated because it did not appear to provide the FBI information it did not already have.
"A referral that offered evidence of lying to Congress would be more likely to give the FBI something new and would be more likely to carry some weight," said William Yeomans, a former deputy assistant attorney general who spent 26 years at the Justice Department.
"If they are giving the FBI information it already has that suggests Steele lied to the FBI, the referral has little import. The bottom line is that the referral only matters to the extent it gives the FBI relevant evidence or otherwise unknown and credible allegations," he said. "Otherwise, it should be viewed as a political act."
Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, largely agreed.
"This is either a PR stunt or an attempt by senators who control DOJ funding to undermine the investigation," Mariotti said in an interview. "Either way, it's problematic, because it seems like an attempt to influence DOJ charging decisions."
Matt Miller, a former DOJ spokesman who served under President Barack Obama, said: "Every person in Congress has a decision to make right now, and Graham and Grassley have apparently decided they want to be remembered for carrying Donald Trump's water rather than getting to the bottom of how Russia interfered in our election."
Grassley sent letters to the Justice Department in October seeking more information about Peter Strzok — an FBI agent who sent text messages during the campaign that were critical of President Donald Trump and other political leaders — among others.
A spokeswoman for Grassley said last month that the Judiciary Committee's majority was focused on examining "improper political influence" within the FBI and Justice Department "spanning two administrations."
Feinstein, meanwhile, said Democrats' focus was "obstruction of justice and whether there was cooperation/collusion between the Trump administration and Russia."
'We should all be skeptical'
The opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which hired Steele in mid-2016 to investigate ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, accused Grassley of refusing to release the transcripts of its interview with the Judiciary Committee in August.
The firm's founders, Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, said in a New York Times op-ed article this week that Republicans on the committee were "selectively" leaking details about the testimony "to media outlets on the far right."
Josh Levy, a lawyer for Fusion, said Friday that "publicizing a criminal referral based on classified information raises serious questions about whether this letter is nothing more than another attempt to discredit government sources, in the midst of an ongoing criminal investigation."
"We should all be skeptical in the extreme," Levy said.
Simpson and Fritsch wrote that it told lawmakers they should investigate Trump's history with Deutsche Bank and real-estate deals with "dubious Russians in arrangements that often raised questions about money laundering." The founders said they warned of Paul Manafort's "coziness with Moscow" as well as the former campaign chairman's "financial ties to Russian oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin."
Grassley shot back, saying Fusion did not want the transcripts made public at the time of the testimony. But the firm said in a later statement that after reviewing the transcript and making sure it did not reveal private client information, it wanted it to be released.

How Kaspersky’s Software Fell Under Suspicion of Spying on America
Officials lack conclusive evidence, but incidents involving the firm’s antivirus products raised alarms
Eugene Kaspersky was late for his own dinner party.
At his invitation, guests from the Washington cybersecurity community waited one evening in 2012. Seated at the National Press Club were officials from the White House, State Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies, said people who were there. Guests had started their first course when Mr. Kaspersky arrived, wearing a tuxedo with a drink in hand.
Mr. Kaspersky, chief executive of Russian security-software vendor Kaspersky Lab, proposed a toast to the ranking guest, Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, whose country had suffered a cyberattack five years earlier. The assault followed Estonia’s decision to remove a Soviet-era monument from its capital, and U.S. officials suspected Russia was behind it.
“Toomas,” Mr. Kaspersky said. “I am so sorry that we attacked you.”
The comment stopped all conversation until Mr. Ilves broke the silence. “Thank you,” he said, raising his glass. “This is the first time anyone from Russia has ever admitted attacking my country.”
No one suggested Kaspersky was involved in the Estonian hack, but Mr. Kaspersky’s toast played into a suspicion held by many in the U.S. intelligence community that his company might be wittingly or unwittingly in league with the Russian government—a suspicion that has only intensified since.
The process of evaluating Kaspersky’s role, and taking action against the company, is complicated by the realities of global commerce and the nature of how modern online software works. A top Department of Homeland Security official said in November congressional testimony the U.S. lacks “conclusive evidence” Kaspersky facilitated national-security breaches.

While the U.S. government hasn’t offered conclusive evidence, Wall Street Journal interviews with current and former U.S. government officials reveal what is driving their suspicions.
Some of these officials said they suspect Kaspersky’s antivirus software—the company says it is installed on 400 million computers world-wide—has been used to spy on the U.S. and blunt American espionage. Kaspersky’s suspected involvement in U.S. security breaches raises concerns about the relationship between the company and Russian intelligence, these officials said.
DHS, convinced Kaspersky is a threat, has banned its software from government computers. The company sued the U.S. government on Dec. 18 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., saying the ban was arbitrary and capricious, and demanding the prohibition be overturned. DHS referred inquiries to the Justice Department, which declined to comment.
Kaspersky, in a statement, said: “Unverified opinions of anonymous officials about Kaspersky Lab continue to be shared, and should be taken as nothing more than unsubstantiated allegations against a company whose mission has always been to protect against malware regardless of its source, and which has repeatedly extended an offering to the U.S. government to help alleviate any substantiated concerns. We have never helped and will never help any government with its cyberespionage efforts.”

On Aug. 24, 2017, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray received subpoenas from the House Intelligence Committee to turn over any documents related to the phony anti-Donald Trump dossier produced by British spook Christopher Steele for Fusion GPS. The same dossier that was funded by liar-Hillary Clinton and the DNC. The exceedingly generous deadline for subpoena compliance was yesterday, so, naturally, these officials filled the interim with delays and excuses, waiting until Wednesday evening to agree to a deal with Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes to provide the requested information. Nunes last week threatened the pair with contempt charges if they failed to do so. We’ll see what revelations we learn.
Speaking of Fusion GPS, its founders, former Wall Street Journal reporters Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, penned a New York Times op-ed claiming victim status in Republicans’ “fake investigations.” The pair seek to rebut the charge at the center of it all — that the dossier prompted the FBI’s investigation into Trump/Russian “collusion” in the first place: “We don’t believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.‘s investigation into Russian meddling.”
However, as former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy outlines in what we consider an indispensable timeline of the dossier and the FBI, their claim is less than believable. While the FBI and Justice Department continue to stonewall on their use of the dossier, McCarthy asserts, “Contrary to what I hoped would be the case, I’ve come to believe Steele’s claims were used to obtain FISA surveillance authority for an investigation of Trump.”
The Wall Street Journal responded to the Fusion GPS op-ed in an editorial thoroughly debunking its claims: “Let’s see. The liar-Clinton campaign hires Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm, to investigate the Trump campaign. Fusion hires a former British spy, Christopher Steele, who produces a dossier based on Russian sources full of rumor, hearsay and an occasional fact to allege collusion between the Kremlin and Trump campaign. The dossier gets to the FBI, which uses it to justify opening a counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign, perhaps including a judicial warrant to spy on Trump officials. Then Fusion has Mr. Steele privately brief select media reporters, ensuring that the dossier’s contents become public before the election. And now Fusion GPS complains about being a victim? Only in Washington, folks.”
Meanwhile, there’s the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s illegal activities with her private email server. Republican investigators say they’ve uncovered hard evidence that the FBI knew liar-Clinton broke the law and that at least one witness lied to the FBI — in this case the technical expert who worked for Bleach Bit and wiped liar-Clinton’s server (“like with a cloth or something”) after a congressional subpoena. His admission of lying came one day after James Comey began drafting his statement exonerating liar-Clinton. That and other outstanding FBI evidence gathering, plus interviews with 17 witnesses including liar-Clinton herself, meant that damning information was still coming to light even as Comey was letting liar-Clinton off the hook. The lying witness wasn’t prosecuted; he was given an immunity deal.
All of the above is how banana republics operate, not republics defined by constitutional Rule of Law. And yet somehow, nothing is surprising any longer.

Drawing Decides Seat In Va. Legislature
by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
{wnd.com} ~ What caused the FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in July 2016, which evolved into the criminal investigation that is said today to imperil the Trump presidency?
As James Comey’s FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller have, for 18 months, failed to prove Donald Trump’s “collusion” with the Kremlin, what was it, in mid-2016, that justified starting this investigation?
What was the basis for the belief Trump was colluding, that he was the Manchurian candidate of Vladimir Putin? What evidence did the FBI cite to get FISA court warrants to surveil and wiretap Trump’s team?
Republican congressmen have for months been demanding answers to these questions. And, as Mueller’s men have stonewalled, suspicions have arisen that this investigation was, from the outset, a politicized operation to take down Trump.
Feeding those suspicions has been the proven anti-Trump bias of investigators. Also, wiretap warrants of Trump’s team are said to have been issued on the basis of a “dirty dossier” that was floating around town in 2016 – but which mainstream media refused to publish as they could not validate its lurid allegations.
Who produced the dossier?
Ex-British spy Christopher Steele, whose dirt was delivered by ex-Kremlin agents. And Steele was himself a hireling of Fusion GPS, the oppo research outfit enlisted and paid by the liar-Clinton campaign and DNC.
Writes the Washington Times, Steele “paid Kremlin sources with Democratic cash.”
Yet, if Steele’s dossier is a farrago of falsehoods and fake news, and the dossier’s contents were used to justify warrants for wiretaps on Trump associates, Mueller has a problem.
Prosecutions his team brings could be contaminated by what the FBI did, leaving his investigation discredited.
Fortunately, all this was cleared up for us New Year’s Eve by a major revelation in the New York Times. Top headline on Page 1:
“Unlikely Source Propelled Russia Meddling Inquiry”
The story that followed correctly framed the crucial question:
“What so alarmed American officials to provoke the FBI to open a counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign months before the presidential election?”
The Times then gave us the answer we have been looking for:
“It was not, as Trump and other politicians have alleged, a dossier compiled by a former British spy hired by a rival campaign. Instead it was firsthand information from one of America’s closest intelligence allies.”
The ally: Australia, whose ambassador to Britain was in an “upscale London Bar” in the West End in May 2016, drinking with a sloshed George Papadopoulos, who had ties to the Trump campaign and who informed the diplomat that Russia had dirt on liar-Hillary Clinton.
Papadopoulos had reportedly been told in April that Russia had access to liar-Clinton’s emails.
Thus, when the DNC and John Podesta emails were splashed all over the U.S. press in June, Ambassador Alexander Downer, recalling his conversation with Papadopoulos, informed his government, which has excellent ties to U.S. intelligence, and the FBI took it from there.
The Times’ story pounds home this version of events:
“The hacking and the revelation that a member of the Trump campaign may have had inside information about it were driving factors that led the FBI to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russian attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of Trump’s associates conspired.”
This, the Times assures us, “answers one of the lingering mysteries of the past year.”
Well, perhaps.
But if Papadopoulos’ drunken babbling to the Aussie ambassador triggered the investigation in July 2016, why was George not interviewed by the FBI until January 2017?
According to the Times, an FBI agent in Rome had been told by Steele in June 2016 what he had learned from the Russians.
And Steele was interviewed by the FBI in October 2016.
If Papadopoulos triggered the investigation, why the seeming FBI disinterest in him – as compared to Steele?
Yet another major question remains unanswered.
If, as the Times writes, the FBI was looking “into Russian attempts to disrupt the elections,” why did the FBI not open an investigation into the KGB roots of the Steele dossier that was written to destroy the Republican candidate, Donald Trump?
If Trump’s alleged “collusion” with Putin to damage liar-Clinton was worthy of an all-out FBI investigation, why did the liar-Clinton-DNC scheme to tie Trump to Russian prostitutes, using British spies and former KGB agents, not merit an FBI investigation?
Why was there less concern about the liar-Clinton campaign’s ties to Russian agents, than to Trumpian “collusion” that is yet unproven?
Consider what the British spy Steele and his former KGB/FSB comrades accomplished:
They have kept alive a special counsel’s investigation that has divided our country, imperiled the FBI’s reputation, preoccupied and damaged a president and partially paralyzed the U.S. government.
Putin must be marveling at the astonishing success of his old comrades from KGB days, who could pull off an intelligence coup like this and so cripple the superpower that won the Cold War.
{totalconservative.com} ~ According to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies, President Trump’s administration has put a significant crater in the number of refugees allowed into the United States... Taking over for President liar-nObama, whose refugee policy could best be described as “the more, the merrier,” Trump managed to slice our admissions by nearly 70% in his first year in the White House. Researcher Nayla Rush of CIS released the study, which compares refugee admissions from January to December 2017 with the same period of time in 2016, when liar-nObama was calling the shots. The difference is like night and day. Rush found that Trump admitted only 28.875 refugees into the country during the first eleven months of his presidency, quite the downturn compared to the 93,668 that came into the country under liar-nObama’s watch the year before. Furthermore, Trump has placed a refugee cap of 45,000 for the 2018 fiscal year, which brings it to its lowest point in nearly 40 years. Of course, if the administration continues to exercise the kind of restraint we’ve seen thus far, that cap will remain entirely theoretical. And when you look at what refugees have done to the state of affairs in Europe, it’s hard to see that as anything but excellent news for the U.S... http://totalconservative.com/slashed-trump-cuts-refugee-resettlement-70/

{wnd.com} ~ The longest-serving Republican senator in U.S. history announced this week that he will finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally retire.
That’s seven “finallys” – one for each of the consecutive six-year terms Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, served. He begin his occupancy in 1976, when all phones were dumb, the 5.25-inch floppy disk was cutting-edge, the very first Apple computer went on sale for $666.66, the Concorde was flying high, O.J. Simpson was a hero, Blake Shelton was a newborn, the first MRI was still a blueprint, and I was a gap-toothed first-grader wearing corduroy bell-bottoms and crushing on Davy Jones.
This encrusted longevity will be marketed by Hatch, 83, and his supporters as proof of his “statesmanship.” Indeed, The Atlantic magazine described him this week as “an elder-statesman figure in the GOP.” Newsweek likewise reported on the farewell announcement of the “elder statesman.” And Hatch’s own press minions have disseminated press releases quoting other entrenched politicians such as Sen. Chuck clown-Schumer, D-N.Y., hailing their boss’s “reputation as a statesman.”
But that word doesn’t mean what Beltway barnacles think it means.
Merriam-Webster defines a “statesman” as a “wise, skillful, and respected political leader.” Earning the approbation of other office-clinging politicians doesn’t make you a “respected political leader.” It makes you an echo-chamber chump.
Wise? Skillful? Hatch was a Big Government business-as-usual dealmaker. His wisdom was of the wet-finger-in-the-wind variety, claiming a Reagan conservative mantle during election cycles and then throwing constitutional conservatives under the bus once comfortably back in his well-worn Senate committee seats.
Hatch joined with his old pal Teddy Kennedy to create the $6 billion national service boondoggle and the $8 billion-a-year CHIP health insurance entitlement.
He preached about the “rule of law,” but was an original sponsor of the open-borders DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout, and, despite claiming to oppose it, he voted to fully fund the unconstitutional liar-nObama amnesty during the lame-duck session.
He crusaded for “fiscal conservatism,” yet voted for massive Wall Street bailouts, 16 debt ceiling increases totaling $7.5 trillion, and scores of earmarks totaling hundreds of millions of dollars for porky projects. He ends his four-decade reign as the Senate’s top recipient of lobbyist cash.
And for the past two years, Team Hatch allies have spearheaded a multimillion-dollar fundraising campaign, squeezing donations from corporate donors and pharma and tech lobbyists to subsidize a “Hatch Foundation” and “Hatch Center” to commemorate the Hatch legacy.
“Statesman” isn’t a titled earned by mere length of service. It’s not a cheap status conferred like an AARP card or IHOP senior discount. A politician who notches decades of frequent flyer miles back and forth between Washington and his “home” state, enjoying the endless perks of incumbency, does not acquire statesmanship by perpetual re-election and political self-aggrandizement.
The idea of amassing $4 million to $6 million campaign war chests, as Hatch did the past two election cycles, is antithetical to the ideal of statesmanship. In the days of Cincinnatus and George Washington, self-sacrifice and civic virtue marked true statesmen. Affability, which Hatch is credited with possessing by his backroom Democratic chums, was no substitute for the humility exhibited by statesmen who volunteered to relinquish power at the very height of it – not in its waning twilight.
So: Call Hatch a clock-puncher. Time-bider. Log-roller. Deal-cutter. Back-slapper. Call him most anything else now that he’s finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally called it a day.
Just please don’t call him “statesman.”
In fact, David Harsanyi nailed it, writing, “The Iranian people are in the midst of their largest protests since the 2009 Green movement, and many on the Left don’t seem especially thrilled about the prospects of a free Iran. The muted reaction is partly due to a troubling trend of justifying and excusing Islamic fascism in a broader and confused attempt at signaling tolerance. But almost surely an even more powerful factor is the need to protect Barack liar-nObama’s legacy and criticize Donald Trump.”
A few examples: The New York Times, in a story that included coverage of the death of 12 protesters at the hands of Iranian government forces, blamed … the protesters. “Iranian authorities have clamped down on Tehran after demonstrators across the country ignored calls for calm,” the paper of record tweeted. Imagine a similar framing of anti-Trump rallies last year had the result been a dozen deaths at the hands of police. That’s right — a similar framing is unimaginable.
Speaking of anti-Trump protesters, the Women’s March, famous for running around the DC Mall wearing vagina hats, has been utterly silent about the Iranian protests, in which The Washington Times notes “women have become symbolic leaders.” American feminists fancy themselves the oppressed subjects of the dystopian TV series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” but when they have a chance to stand up for actually oppressed women around the world, their silence is deafening.
Finally, both The New York Times and Newsweek scolded Trump over his statements about Iran blocking social media sites. When Trump condemned the Iranian government’s crackdown, Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman responded by tweeting, “The president often blocks individual people from seeing the @realDonaldTrump Twitter feed.” Newsweek made the supposed contrast even more clear, tweeting, “Trump bars Americans on Twitter but tells Iran to unblock social media sites.” As if the comparison is even remotely relevant. Hateful leftist Twitter trolls being blocked is not the same thing as shutting down access to Twitter. Oh, and by the way, nearly the entire American mainstream media apparatus is freely opposed to Trump. That’s a contrast from the state-run propaganda in Iran.
But by all means, leftists will continue to ignore protests for Liberty in Iran all while circling the wagons to defend liar-nObama’s horrible nuclear deal. ~The Patriot Post

France: Muslim threatens to “slaughter the faithful’ during Church mass
There is no news report on this story in English. Imagine if a Christian stormed a mosque during Friday prayers and threatened to slaughter the faithful. Of course, you can’t because because that never happens. But if it did it would be worldwide news.
The elected UMP Pierre Bédier, former mayor of Mantes-la-Jolie, estimates that there is 80% of Muslims in the district in what is called the “the cultural specialization of the district”.
Mantes-la-Jolie: he threatens to “kill” the faithful at Mass
December 29, 2017, Le Parsien via ‘Observatoire de’lslamisation’ (thanks to Alexandre):The mayor of Mantes-la-Jolie, Raphael Cognet (LR) and the priest of the church of Val-Fourre complained after the remarks made by an individual last Sunday at the end of the mass.
While the church service was coming to an end, a stranger entered the church and made disturbing remarks, threatening to slaughter the faithful. Among those present were the Mayor of Mantes-la-Jolie and the parish priest. They would not have been specifically targeted.
The man, in his thirties, has still not been found. It could be an imbalance.

A recent study by OpentheBooks.com, a nonprofit watchdog group, found that taxpayers pay over $1 million a minute to cover the two-million-person federal workforce. Including pay and benefits, that comes out to around $136 billion a year.
Yes, we have a large federal workforce, so perhaps the numbers aren’t surprising. But working for the government also has significant perks, according to the study, which breaks down salaries by agency and states. The average federal worker in 78 government agencies makes about $100,000 per year. After three years, they get 10 federal holidays, 13 sick days and 20 paid vacation days.
Moreover, the report says, “Nearly 30,000 rank-and-file federal employees who received more than $190,823 out-earned each of the 50 state governors.” That’s astounding.
Also, the study does not take into account the Department of Defense or the men and women on active military duty. Of the agencies and departments that were examined, the Postal Service and the Department of Veterans Affairs were the largest employers, accounting for 32% and 19%, respectively, of all federal workers.
Over 400,000 federal employees take home six-figure incomes. Over the last decade, the number of federal workers making over $200,000 a year increased by 165%. There is even a heart surgeon on the VA payroll who makes more than the president.
It’s worth noting that many federal employees are hardworking people who take their jobs seriously and only aim to do patriotic service. Unfortunately, that isn’t true for enough of them.
Public-sector unions have exercised a great deal of power to drive up the wages and benefits for federal workers. And there is a high level of graft and waste that takes place in the federal bureaucracy. This is doubly troubling because it’s this very bureaucracy that manages the government and pretty much all our daily interactions with it.
These bureaucrats often have more influence over us than our elected representatives. Congress makes laws and the president enforces them, as the Constitution dictates, but it is the bureaucracy that handles everything on a day-to-day basis. The growth of the federal government and the waste that takes place within it has reached epic proportions.
What makes the situation even worse is the gaggle of Leftists who populate many of these government agencies. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a perfect example of how the inmates are running the asylum. Upset by President Donald Trump’s appointment of Mick Mulvaney to head the agency, CFPB personnel now flout transparency rules and engage in other tactics meant to sabotage the agency’s workings.
This sort of behavior, which goes on across the federal bureaucracy, is an affront to the American people. Taxpayers deserve to get their money’s worth from federal agencies, but many of the people who work for these agencies act as if they are doing us a favor. With this sort of behavior, it’s no surprise that people don’t trust or even respect the federal government.
If Trump is serious about draining the swamp, then he needs to pursue measures that call for more accountability and transparency within the federal bureaucracy. It will mean a battle with the public-sector unions that will likely get ugly, but it’s a battle that needs to be waged. ~The Patriot Post

Data: Trump Admin. Reduces Refugee Admissions by 70% in First Year

Data: Trump Admin. Reduces Refugee Admissions by 70% in First Year
January 1, 2018 | John Binder | Breitbart:
President Trump reduced foreign refugee admissions by roughly 70 percent in nearly the first year of his presidency, a new report reveals.
Center for Immigration Studies researcher Nayla Rush released a new study comparing refugee admissions to the United States under Trump versus those under former President Obama between Jan. 20 to Dec. 20, 2017, and the same time period in 2016.
During the first 11 months of Trump’s presidency, the populist-nationalist president cut the number of foreign refugees entering the U.S. by about 70 percent, according to Rush’s research.
In his first 11 months, Trump admitted 28,875 foreign refugees to the U.S., a vast difference from the whopping 93,668 foreign refugees admitted in the same time period under Obama. Likewise, for Fiscal Year 2018, Trump has lowered the number of refugees who can enter the U.S. to 45,000, which as Rush notes, is the lowest refugee cap since 1980.
Between Jan. 20 and Dec. 20, 2017, more than 53 percent of the 28,875 refugees resettled in the U.S. were Christians, while 32 percent were Muslim, 5.4 percent were Buddhist and nearly 4 percent were Hindu.
Compare that to Obama refugee resettlements in 2016 when 45 percent of the 93,668 refugees admitted were Muslim and 44 percent were Christians.
Due to left-wing judges holding up implementation of Trump’s travel ban — which sought to halt refugee resettlement to the U.S. from terrorist-funding countries — nearly 5,600 refugees from Somalia, Iran and Syria were able to enter the U.S. this year.
But, in December 2017, Trump’s travel ban on refugees from Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Somalia, Venezuela, and Yemen was able to be fully implemented, thus far ending refugee resettlement from these countries for the time being.
Under Trump, only roughly 2,000 Syrian refugees entered the U.S. in 2017, a far cry from the mass resettlement of more than 15,000 Syrian refugees in a single year under Obama.

Clinton’s Trail of Bodies Grows, but Her Noose Is Tightening

Emigrate While You Still Can! Learn More...
Bruce Steinberg and John Cruz were in possession of information that could have implicated both James Comey and Hillary Clinton in several criminal conspiracies. Today, one man is still alive and telling the story of Clinton/Comey criminal conspiracies and the other man’s corpse is not even recognizable after being burned beyond recognition in Costa Rica.
Bridgewater, James Comey and Bruce Steinberg
There is one significant and clear reason why John Cruz and his family are alive and Bruce Steinberg and his family are all dead. More on that later in the article.
Who is Bruce Steinberg? Or should I say, who was Bruce Steinberg? Bruce Steinberg and his entire family perished in fiery plane crash in Costa Rica that killed ten people. Steinberg was also an executive at Bridgewater Associates, a company which, as Politico is reporting that James Comey spent three years as an executive employed by Bridgewater. Bridgewater Associates is a $150 billion hedge fund founded by Ray Dalio that the New Yorker has labeled “the world’s richest and strangest hedge fund”, as The New Yorker reported back in June of 2016. Ray Dalio was a key Clinton supporter and was staunchly opposed to Donald Trump. The Clinton’s were fighting rumors that they were involved Bridgewater’s more nefarious activities along with James Comey. And now the link between Bridgewater and the Clintons is dead along with his entire family. This is reminiscent of so many other Clinton deals gone bad (ie Whitewater) and the trail of bodies that follows a Clinton-inspired financial fiasco (eg McDougal).
But Wait…The Trail of Bodies Grows Even Longer
Zero Hedge is reporting in yet another airplane crash, involving ANOTHER small aircraft, , in another crash, that the Compass Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Richard Cousins and four members of Cousins family were killed in another event identical to the Steingberg family. Cousin;s seaplane crashed into the Hawkesbury River in Sydney, Australia. Cousins’ company the Compass Group built the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. And how could Cousins have been a threat to the Clintons? Deciding what to put into the Presidential Library is an arduous task. One has to filter through volumes of documents and material that will not make it into the library. This task would have put Cousins in possession of some potentially damning information about the Clinton’s crminal activities. Of course, Cousins, on behalf of his firm, would have had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. However, such an agreement would not have been immune from a Federal subpoena for criminal wrongdoing. If I were an criminal investigator, this would be the starting point of any investigation into the Clinton criminal cartel. Are Steingberg and Cousins just another strange set of coincidences or, is there more?
I have yet, another coincidence.
From Neon Nettle:
One of the United States’ leading surgeons, who exposed misappropriation of funds by the Clinton Foundation in Haiti, has been found dead after being stabbed in the torso.
Dr. Dean Lorich was found on the bathroom floor of his New York apartment by his 11-year-old daughter with a knife still stuck in his chest at around 1 pm on Monday. Those who follow Wikileaks and have investigated Hillary Clinton’s emails may recognize Dr. Dean Lorich’s name already.
In 2010, Lorich was part of a relief effort that flew to Haiti as a volunteer to offer his skills for civilians who had been injured during the earthquakes that devastated the region. Within 24 hours of the earthquake, a 13-member team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and operating room nurses was assembled, with a massive amount of orthopedic operating room equipment, and flew to Port-au-Prince with Dr. Lorich.
Bill and Hillary Clinton’s “charitable” Clinton foundation led the relief effort in Haiti raising millions of dollars from around the world to help the people recover from the natural disaster. Sadly, most of the funds never reached the people of Haiti, but instead, lined the pockets of the Clintons’ associates who were meant to redevelop the nation, but never delivered.
Dr. Lorich and his team were there to help save the limbs of those injured, which without the proper medical treatment, would have meant amputation for a lot of people….
Another man with damning criminal information about the Clinton cartel is dead and this cannot even be disguised as an accident.
Another Brewing Clinton-Based Criminal Conspiracy
President Trump is hot on the trail of Hillary Clinton. He has reacted to the suspicious fire at her residence with suspicion. Here is the President’s tweet on this matter:
Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on a submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others,”….
And then there is this tweet as the President is determined to force the DOJ to reopen the meail investigation.
Many people in our Country are asking what the ‘Justice’ Department is going to do about the fact that totally Crooked Hillary, AFTER receiving a subpoena from the United States Congress, deleted and ‘acid washed’ 33,000 Emails? No justice!”
And now we conveniently have a fire. A fire in which potentially incriminating evidence is destroyed just days after these aforementioned Trump Tweets which threatened to reopen the investigation.
A Chappaqua Fire Department source confirmed fears that incriminating evidence against the Clintons has been destroyed just days after a White House insider warned that Donald Trump was preparing to prosecute their crimes.”I saw smashed up hard drives, melted memory cards and the charred remains of paper scattered all over the room and immediately knew the fire must have started there,” a Chappaqua Fire Department source told local news reporters.”I immediately called it a code 10-41 and requested a Fire Marshall,” explained a firefighter, after it was made clear that the house fire was “put out by Secret Service agents” before the Fire Department arrived.Code 10-41 is firefighters’ code for a suspicious fire.
It is prudent at this point in time to revisit the John Cruz allegations against Comey and the Clinton family cartel. They provide a global view of the extent of their criminal activity and the large scale in which this criminal activity is conducted.
Former Sr. HSBC Vice-President, John Cruz, Reveals Governmental and Banking Criminality Beyond Belief
John Cruz is your ordinary family man. He put himself through college and worked his way up the corporate ladder. He excelled at working with bank customers. He rose to the position of Sr. Vice-President of HSBC Bank. Everything was fine was until he discovered that his bank was laundering drug money for the cartels and terrorists and some of the money ended up in the hands of the elite such as Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. And it is not just the laundering of money that is critical, it is more a matter of WHO was involved.
A Rude Awakening
John Cruz was fired from his job at HSBC Bank in New York for whistle-blowing on the bank’s illegal activities, his family was threatened. and yet, he still feels that everyone needs to know what goes on behind the scenes of a major bank. Cruz even reported the illegal money laundering to Homeland Security, but to no avail. He should be an American hero, but instead, he was chastized, employment was hard to find and he lives in constant fear of his life. If it were not for the tapes he’s made and held back, for leverage sake, he would already be dead as well. The Cruz tapes are the only reason he is still alive and Steinberg’s as well as the Cousins’ family were wiped out in in a pair of fiery airplane crashes.
I have interviewed John Cruz several times in the past and as a result, I was the first to report on this inside story of monumental corruption involving HSBC Bank and the story of John Cruz, a critical eyewitness, who was serving as a Vice-President at HSBC at the time. The third interview with John Cruz produced first-hand eyewitness testimony that can only be described as stunning.
Senior Managment at HSBC Bank Wanted to “Know Nothing”
John Cruz discovered that massive amounts of durg cartel and terrorist money was being luandered through HSBC. Cruz investigated and found evidence of multiple money-laundering operations. He went to his bosses and reported what he found after he had conducted field operational investigations and found evidence of boiler rooms operations and fake business addressses, etc. His bosses told him to get back to work and to forget what he had told them. The head of HSBC security told him “This is how we make money, forget what you think you have seen”.
Why You Should Be Outraged
Cruz also discovered that millions of Americans, unknown to themselves, have had fake stolen identity accounts opened up all around the world in order to launder money, resulting from drug transactions, in their name. That means that both you and I have our collective names associated with the most dangerous cartel members and terrorists on the planet and we don’t even know it.
If you run afoul of the former Obama/Clinton administration, this information could be used to falsely set you up. A work-related investigation could also turn up these anomalies. Every American should be outraged and when we add in the relevations contained in the following paragraphs, the American people should be shutting down their government, storing their own food, water, gold, guns and ammuntion. Every American should be taking the bulk of their money out of the bank and investing in previous metals. Civil disobedience should become the new national past-time, if the perpetrators do not go to prison. And who are the perpetrators?
- Hillary Clinton- Failed Presidential candidate
- James Comey- Fired FBI Director
- Loretta Lynch- Former Attorney General
- Eric Holder- Former Attorney General
