People Are Furious About What CNN Just Threatened to Do to the Reddit User Behind Trump’s WWE Video

CNN sparked a backlash Tuesday night after threatening to identify the Reddit user who claimed to have created a meme of Donald Trump body-slamming the CNN logo that the president later shared on Twitter.

CNN targeted Reddit user HanAssholeSolo because he took credit for the video and apparently had a history of making racist and anti-Semitic remarks online.

CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski opted not to identify the user “because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again.”

But Kaczynski then added that “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change,” seemingly indicating that CNN would identify the user if he repeats his “ugly behavior” on social media. That sentence was widely interpreted as a threat. Kaczynski, who disputed that characterization, seemed especially upset that the Reddit user “was someone who shared an image of CNN reporters’ face with Stars of David next them.” (Read more from “People Are Furious About What CNN Just Threatened to Do to the Reddit User Behind Trump’s WWE Video” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/07/people-furious-cnn-just-threatened-reddit-user-behind-t

Corporate Media Continues Blackout of DNC Lawsuit Even as 2 More Witnesses Die

The fiancée of Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was murdered in the 2012 Benghazi attack, is speaking out about his death—and the cover-up that followed.

Lydie Denier appeared on Rick Amato’s “Amato Talk” with Will Craddick, founder of DisobedientMedia.com, to discuss the controversial lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee, in which “one witness has died and another potential witness was murdered.”

As The Free Thought Project has extensively reported, influential donors to the DNC are suing their political party for fraud in the 2016 presidential election where they say their candidate, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, was discriminated against. High-ranking members of the DNC, by way of WikiLeaks’ DNC email publications, were caught favoring Hillary Clinton over Sanders and actively working to subvert his chances at winning the party’s nomination.

Several individuals close to the lawsuit have turned up dead, and many more plaintiffs have filed grievances with the court, asking for special protection under the law. They point to threats, intimidation and breaking and entering of their homes as proof the defendants will go out of their way to make sure that the lawsuit does not proceed.

Now, as those of us in the alternative media are pointing out, there has been a corporate media blackout of this information.

“The DNC did actually violate their own by-laws, which state that they are supposed to choose the candidate in an impartial manner, even though they’ve actually turned around and argued in court that they’re actually not required to do that,” Craddick stated with incredulity.

Craddick referred to the current issues within the DNC as a “Pandora’s box” that has resulted from officials working to keep information from being leaked to the public. “There’s going to be a whole bunch of other issues that are uncovered as well—foreign influence in American politics, espionage, things of that nature,” he said.

Amato intimated all of the aforementioned issues had something to do with the Benghazi Attack, which resulted in Stevens’s death. His fiancée agreed.

“I got lots of emails from people saying, ‘There were 47 deaths that the Clintons are involved with. Be careful not to become number 48,’” Denier said. “Definitely, when you start telling the truth and you start to uncover … you have to be so careful.”

In the same way that the attempts to suppress the truth have been used on the DNC lawsuit, Denier said that method was used in the aftermath of the Benghazi Attack. From rumors that the attack stemmed from anti-Islamic propaganda on YouTube to rumors that Stevens was sent to die, Denier said they were all false.

“They said it was Chris’s fault that he died because he didn’t want security, when in reality, within six weeks, he asked over 600 times for more security,” Denier said. “And then he died, and it’s like nothing happened.”

“Don’t believe them, no, don’t believe them!” Denier said, in reference to the mainstream media’s narrative. The would-be-widow wrote a book entitled, A Voice for Ambassador Christopher J. Stevens, where she goes into much more detail about her late fiancée’s death

Questions remain as to whether full transparency in the deaths of Stevens, Seth Rich and others who have died in relation to the Clintons will ever come to light. Were they killed in an attempt to cover-up an entire political party’s misdeeds?

Were they, as Denier alleges, more Clinton bodies? These questions and more have yet to be answered, highlighting the importance of a lawsuit against the DNC that has the hope of bringing answers to the questions grieving loved ones are asking.

As for Stevens’s fiancée, she appears convinced the Clintons had something to do with his death, and she is not staying silent.

{rickwells.us} ~ liar-nObama pretended he was an actual US president for so long that he just can’t seem to kick the habit... Since slithering out of his brief retirement in French Polynesia, liar-nObama’s phoned France’s Macron and met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and most recently, the new South Korean President, Moon Jae-in. Moon reportedly renewed his resolve to pursue sanctions and dialogue to tackle North Korea’s nuclear program during a meeting with former US pretend “president” liar-nObama on Monday, saying now is the “last chance” for the regime to return to the negotiating table. Why would he be stating this ultimatum to this private citizen of an unknown country and communist agitator?

On Monday morning, Trump again showed how much he truly cares for people in need, particularly children, when he reached out to the family of another sick child on Twitter.

He doesn’t care about people in public housing. He believes that if you are poor, it is your own fault. And he doesn’t know the difference between an immigrant and a slave.” Waters then promised: “And if he thinks when he comes before my committee where I am the ranking member [of the Financial Services Committee that I am going to give him a pass… I am going to take his a** apart.”...

{rickwells.us} ~ German Chancellor Merkel surely understands that the deteriorating relationship between the United States and Germany is nothing personal, at least it’s nothing against what we can still refer to in the classic sense as the German people... Those are people of German heritage, who speak German and didn’t just arrive as exploitative locusts from the Middle East or North Africa, at Chancellor Merkel’s behest. It’s a matter of incompatibility with the globalist takeover of Germany, her leading role in the destruction of Europe and our President being a man of principles who won’t be a party to it. It’s a matter of Merkel being a puppet of the EU and acting on their behalf to cripple her nation. We Americans and President Trump don’t really approve of her actions and we don’t see much in her to like. We’re too honest to pretend we do. Chancellor Merkel has noticed that since January nobody is planting the sloppy wet ones on the way liar-nObama used to and she’s responded by changing the way she addresses the relationship between what’s left of Germany and the United States...http://rickwells.us/merkel-elevates-eu-globalist-frenchy-macron-drops-america-first-trump/

North Korean missile flies higher,
farther than any previous test
 
{foxnews.com} ~ The ballistic missile launched by North Korea on Tuesday flew longer than any missile test conducted by the rogue regime to date, U.S. Pacific Command said... meaning Kim Jong Un's dictatorship may now possess the ability to strike Alaska. North Korea launched a missile on Mother's Day that flew for 30 minutes and reached an altitude 1,000 miles higher than the international space station. But Tuesday's missile flew for 37 minutes and reached a height of 1,500 miles, leading missile experts to conclude it could have reached a target 4,000 miles away, putting Alaska in its cross-hairs. "The threat is much more immediate now," National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told reporters prior to the launch. "So it's clear we can't repeat the same failed approach of the past."... http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/07/04/north-korea-claims-to-have-test-launched-its-first-icbm.html

Watch out, 'fake news' media!
Here Trump's next big move

{wnd.com} ~ You feel so badly for them, don’t you? It’s like when you fake throwing your dog’s tennis ball high in the air, but you actually stuck it in your closet because you are tired of him obsessing over it.
 
He spends hours looking at the sky for his ball to fall, agonizing, pining, panting, obsessing. But you sit back with your coffee and paper in your favorite chair, because you know your dog is no match for you. Ahhhhhh. Now you can get some things done without Scruffy distractions.
 
Trump is outwitting the media and the deep state at every turn, just like you do your dog. He puts up a dog-and-pony show to grab the attention of the dog-and-pony show! And they latch on for dear life every time. It’s political poetry!
 
When they thought they had him on Russia, he tweeted about it so he could continue opening pipelines and deregulating the energy business while they were too fascinated with Russia conspiracy theories to even pay attention to all he was accomplishing. The Chicken-Little-style screeching caused Middle America to get bored of the alt-left’s “sky is falling” mentality and deadened its attention span and trust in lamestream media news.
 
While the media continued their obsession over the Comey hearings, the president was busy being successful in overhauling the Supreme Court, the Veterans Administration, the EPA and more.
 
Ordinarily, the climate conspiracy theorists would have had wall-to-wall coverage of Trump’s total overhaul of their fake science when he pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and opened America’s pipelines, but CNN’s own Jeff Zucker told them to go back to talking Russia instead. Trump knows how to throw them off their game.
 
Trump was winning.
 
While members of Congress, who had years to think about how to fix the broken liar-nObamacare, opined about how they were going to replace it with some watered-down version of socialized medicine, Trump waited.
 
When Congress couldn’t do it, the Senate stepped center stage, only to fall flat-footed. Again. And Trump stood patiently by while the noise mounted.
 
Conservatives wanted mandates gone and price transparency. Leftists controlling the Dems will have none of it. Thus, all the indignation and pontification culminated in a big, fat nothing-burger.
 
Trump was waiting for that.
 
Last week, while the media were in a small-brained feeding frenzy over a tweet about a little known show host, President Trump quietly executed his most winning week yet.
 
And the best part of all? Now he gets to reasonably ask for a full repeal of liar-nObamacare – the true free-market answer to the death spiral of insurance right now! Winning again.
 
Don’t let the media distract you into missing this great “Art of the Deal”-style strategy to achieve a repeal of liar-nObamacare.
 
The president has patiently sat back and allowed the House and the Senate to work on their health-care bills and has been praising their efforts from afar every step of the way. As it becomes clear that the GOP leadership can’t pull off passing a replacement bill, the president gets to say, “Oh well, you gave it your best effort, guys. But, it’s time for you to pass a straight repeal.”
 
The president placed himself in a winning position no matter what happened in the House and Senate.
 
As this strategy played out last week, the media were focused on one tweet.
 
I tried to explain on CNN that the American people see the president’s tweeting very differently than the elite living in the D.C. and NYC bubble.
 
This week alone, President Trump had some of his biggest wins since becoming president.
 
Most of his executive order restricting travel from terror-prone countries went into effect after the Supreme Court unanimously gave it the green light.
 
The House passed Kate’s Law, which will increase penalties for deported illegal immigrants who return to the U.S. The president talked about that every day during the campaign, and this was a big win for Trump and his agenda.
 
The House also passed another Trump campaign promise with the “No Sanctuary for Criminal Aliens Act.” The law blocks federal grants to jurisdictions that refuse to comply with federal immigration detainers and also requires state and local law-enforcement officials to cooperate with federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.
 
President Trump also hosted the South Korean president at the White House this week to discuss the strategy to deal with the North Korean threat, but you wouldn’t know that if you have been watching the mainstream media.
 
Also this week, the president was again vindicated. Just when some thought the president was overusing his “fake news” label of the media, James O’Keefe came through with damaging videos from inside CNN and Sarah Palin launched a lawsuit against the New York Times for their fake reporting.
 
The media seem to have learned nothing over the past two years.
 
While they laughed at him, he won an election. While they obsessed over a Russian conspiracy, he flipped their fake climate agenda on its head. They didn’t make a peep. While they were postal over a tweet or two, he had one of the most productive weeks of his presidency.
 
He plays 4-D chess, as my friend, Bill Mitchell coined. They are no mental match.
 
That explains why, predictably, this week, they will obsess over his mental health. All of their other frenzies fizzled. They have nowhere else to go.
 
So far, this president, whom the media would like to paint as crazy or undermined, has accomplished the following:
*The U.S. stock market has grown a whopping 16 percent just since his election.
*Illegal immigration has dropped to a 17-year low.
*Unemployment has dropped to a 17-year low.
*NATO allies have boosted defense spending by more than $10 billion after President Trump pressured them to pay their fair share.
*Constitutionalist Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed and sworn in to the Supreme Court.
*President Trump restarted the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipeline construction projects.
*ISIS is on the run as Mosul is about to be retaken.
*President Trump has signed several executive orders lifting regulations on U.S. businesses.
*He pulled out of the Paris climate deal.
*He signed a VA reform bill to make it easier to fire bad VA employees and protect whistleblowers.
*And he’s done much more …
If someone said you could accomplish all your goals but the journey might be a little dirty, would you do it? When was politics ever a pretty proposition?
 
I wish he could do it without the tweets, too. But the bottom line is: If the president is crazy, he is crazy like a fox, and it’s winning for the American people.
 
The president has angered the left again with another tweet, and it is one of his most popular tweets of all time.
 
While Middle America chuckles at this funny tweet, the left and media are feigning outrage that this is somehow provoking violence.
 
My prediction: They are walking right into his next 4-D chess match. This time, he wants to eliminate fake news media. Checkmate.

 Republican Gridlock Over Repealing 
 liar-nObamaCare 
OjR7YZK9iFTpSUpbp733yhsu6VHaCdQLHS9SmFdKu8EBRxSIfxzsnib1Ju1leuGRpq7yyoH-dlDghAzfMFBfDmfaV-Hawhm4TZA8CQYSXLq22TPyFRlvncYdY1Q1Ww=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and a Republican sits in the White House. Yet there is still delay and gridlock in the attempt to repeal and replace liar-nObamaCare. Part of the problem is that, once again, Republicans are far too easily manipulated by Democrats' class warfare mantra of "benefit cuts for the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich." Democrats and their Leftmedia colluders continuously conflate welfare with rights, and Republicans are seemingly unable to expose the inherit fallacy of that argument. Even more frustrating is that Democrats aren't doing anything new, and still Republicans can't seem to get past it.
          Liberty, the foundational principle upon which this nation was founded, recognizes innate, God-given human rights. Rights as opposed to welfare. Liberty both offers and requires the individual to make choices — the consequences of which, whether good or bad, the individual is responsible for. Welfare seeks to protect individuals from the consequences of their poor and foolish choices. Essentially, welfare demands that the responsible pay for the irresponsible, which robs both individuals of their right of Liberty.
          Democrats created the concept of welfare equaling "rights" by conditioning people to believe that they are helpless to help themselves and therefore the government must provide welfare programs as a means of protecting human "rights." Nothing could be further from the truth. And yet it seems no Republican since Ronald Reagan has been able to effectively expose and combat this leftist myth with the positive message of Liberty lifting all boats.
          Now Republicans in the Senate are waffling again over the fallacy of health care being a "right." One would have to be blind not to see that liar-nObamaCare is collapsing and untenable. It is costing taxpayers trillions all while increasing health care costs for families. Democrats scream about how Republicans "will kill people" if they repeal the "Affordable" Care Act. Republicans need to respond with the fact that liar-nObamaCare is the government stealing money and Liberty from the American people. Republicans need work toward restoring the Liberty Barack liar-nObama and his Democrats stole. This what the GOP message should be; this is what their mission should be about — not acquiescence to Democrats' leftist conflation of government-provided welfare being a human right. Republicans need to stop being scared of their own shadows, and do the right thing.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ Considering how hideous reality is for Stephen Hawking’ it’s hard to fault the guy for wanting to be detached from it... But when what he’s spewing out is more toxic than the volcanic vents he references on Venus and he does so in the furtherance of a lie intended to mislead our nation into global communism, his pity pass has to be canceled.  He’s a liar, one trapped in an unfortunate situation and container, but a liar nonetheless. It’s worth remembering that the Paris climate agreement only came into being in December of 2015 and was only falsely claimed to have been ratified by liar-nObama’s unconstitutional dictate in September of last year, ten months ago. It never went into effect so it’s a stretch to say there are apocalyptic repercussions to withdrawing. Hawkings used his scientific credentials in a most dishonest manner, claiming that the decision to exit the global welfare agreement somehow doomed the world. Even its proponents are forced to acknowledge “a Massachusetts Institute of Technology finding that indicates the Paris climate treaty would lower global warming by less than four-tenths of a degree by year 2100.”... http://rickwells.us/physicist-hawkings-uses-climate-science-fiction-bash-trump/

{rickwells.us} ~ The dunderhead Republican chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), looks and sounds like he’s in over his head... like he’s just there to make friends, to let the Democrats have whatever they want with his focus on being “one of the popular kids in school.” Take whatever you want, Democrats, just don’t include him in your mean comments about President Trump. With this as the kind of weak quislings our President has to depend upon to support him in doing his job, it’s not surprising that he’s struggled to get anything done that can’t be done on his own. The House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to the defense spending bill on Thursday which revokes a 2001 law giving the president authority to wage war against al Qaeda and its affiliates unless a replacement provision is created. The current Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), was initially approved as a response to the 9/11 attacks. It has since formed the basis for the Iraq War and fighting ISIS and Syria. The Republicans have once again sold out Americans, handing over to the Democrats, without any justification or reciprocity, a weapon with which to obtain concessions, possibly huge ones, in order for President Trump to protect us in the manner he can presently do without Democrat approval...http://rickwells.us/gop-quislings-side-dem-vote-revoke-trumps-power-fight-isis/

{thenewamerican.com} ~ The life of 10-month-old Charlie Gard hangs in the balance as doctors determine when he will die. On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) refused a London couple the right to seek a possible life-saving treatment... in the United States for their son, ruling instead for the termination of life-support. Charlie was born with Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome, a rare genetic condition causing progressive muscle weakness and brain damage. After discovering a possible treatment and an American doctor willing to perform a trial therapy for their son, Chris Gard and Connie Yates raised over $1.6 million in donations from around the world in the hope of saving their son. However, specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, where Charlie was being treated, felt the experimental therapy would not be beneficial and refused his parents their natural right to have him treated elsewhere...What kind of humans are they not to try anything that will save their son.  https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/26381-european-court-rules-to-euthanize-10-month-old-charlie-gard

{thenewamerican.com} ~ “It’ll make it much easier for conservatives in the House,” asserted Representative Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, of the effort by Senators Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to develop a compromise piece of legislation... on repealing liar-nObamaCare in the Senate. “Really, the greatest flux you have with getting 218 in the House is probably more with conservatives than it is moderates,” Meadows explained. Cruz made enemies of several of his fellow congressional Republicans four years ago when he engineered a 16-day government shutdown, in an effort to defund the Affordable Care Act, better known as liar-nObamaCare. But now, Cruz has joined with his good friend Mike Lee in a behind-the-scenes effort to develop legislation that will fulfill Republican campaign promises to repeal the controversial health care law...I really hope they will success.  https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/health-care/item/26388-lee-and-cruz-offer-repeal-of-obamacare

{rickwells.us} ~ What bizarre, self-destructed idiocy this globalism is that has co-opted the governments of this planet. As Italy reels from 13,500 African invaders showing up in just two days last week... and overwhelmed local officials demand that the ports of other nations be opened to the same ruinous invading hordes, the people continue to suffer, the Africans continue to come. The question is for how long this will continue, will the Italian people reach a point where the finally stand against the EU generated destruction? Will they force their government officials to act in their interests rather than those of a destructive foreign population transfusion? Many of those positions, particularly the manual labor jobs, will be taken by foreigners willing to work for very little, exacerbating the problem. Their government, in cooperation with the elites, is killing the middle class by importing a slave class to work in its place... http://rickwells.us/85000-italians-applied-just-30-jobs-thousands-refugees-keep-pouring/

ISIS Leader Killed?

{thesleuthjournal.com} ~ In 2005, US forces captured Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Iraq, holding him for several years at Camp Bucca.

Little is publicly known about his capture, detention, or how he became ISIS leader. In 2008, the Bush administration transferred authority of all detainees in US custody to Iraqi forces, including Baghdadi.

In 2010, he was freed, assuming leadership of ISIS the same year. He first became known publicly in summer 2014 when its fighters began capturing territory in Iraq and Syria.

Was the liar-nObama administration behind his release? Was he chosen to head the little known terrorist group at that time, serving as imperial foot soldiers?

On May 28, Russian warplanes struck an ISIS command post in northern Syria where Baghdadi and others in his chain of command were discussing exit routes for its fighters from Raqqa through a southern corridor.

At the time, Russia’s Defense Ministry said it’s believed he was “killed in the airstrike” along with other high-ranking ISIS commanders and hundreds of its fighters.

Emir of Raqqa Abu al-Haji al-Masri, Emir Ibrahim al-Naef al-Hajj, “who controlled the district from the city of Raqqa to the settlement of es-Sohne,” and ISIS head of security Suleiman al-Sawah were reported killed by Russia’s Defense Ministry.

Last Thursday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ole Syromolotov said “according to the Russian Defense Ministry, it is highly likely that Daesh leader al-Baghdadi was eliminated as a result of a Russian Aerospace Forces strike on the terrorists’ command post in the southern suburb of the city of Raqqa in late May this year,” adding:

This “information is now verified through various channels.” In mid-June, Sergey Lavrov said he was unable to confirm al-Baghdadi’s death.

He was reported killed several times before, only to turn up alive. Is the latest report of his death premature?

Russia’s Defense Ministry believes he’s dead. Satellite images of four buildings where he and his chain of command were meeting show they were obliterated – making it appear no one inside could have survived.

How his death along with other ISIS commanders, if true, affects the terrorist group remains to be seen.

Syrian and allied forces, greatly aided by Russian airpower, continue making steady gains against ISIS and other terrorist groups.

At the same time, US imperial designs on Syria haven’t changed – wanting pro-Western puppet governance replacing Assad.

As long as this objective remains unchanged, ending Syria’s long nightmare remains elusive.

Many parents are concerned with the direction of education in the nation today. Children are not being taught what they need to learn.

In the past, American textbooks were always picked by local school districts who have the responsibility of assuring that they textbooks use met criteria in the basics of education principles.  Involved in the selection of textbooks was the local school boards elected to their position, and the local community including the parents of the children involved. This is no longer the case.

The United Nations has targeted our children to be indoctrinated into a globalist mindset through such UN entities as UNESCO.  Not only here in the United States but throughout Africa and beyond, the socialist controlled UNESCO have targeted textbooks that they feel are not politically correct. A few months ago they issued a “Global Education Monitoring” report that declared  textbooks in Africa did not meet the requirement on the subject of “global citizenship. UNESCO declared that if failed the promote  “ Homosexuality, lesbianism, global warming alarmism and transgenderism”. They have already made it quite clear that even “Private schools must be made to submit to the requirement of International law”. They are now trying to push another scheme called the “World Core Curriculum” a radical socialist scheme pushing everything from a revision of history to meet its needs and the sexualization of the children.

 They have an agenda of dictating textbooks that will be used  to shape an agenda, and attitude and the ethics of our children. This is being done to move forward with their Agenda 2030 and the sustainability within that agenda.

http://intellectualconservative.com/agenda-21-soon-to-become-the-2030-agenda/

In Connecticut, a group of United Nations “human rights” experts have forced a change in textbooks because they we not happy with how slavery in the Northeast was written about in a history book  “Connecticut Adventure”. They proclaimed that the textbook must be changed because  it was insensitive to the plight of slavery.

The “experts” were from the” United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent”. The expert in charge is Sunga III from the Phillippines,.  This is the same group that last year came to the United States and demanded reparations for slavery, lobbied for gun control, and an end to voter ID laws.  This is the same group that turns a blind eye to the rape and terrorism set loose on the countryside of African nations, but feel it is more important to push their way into our education system to implement the agenda that have created.

At a summit held in Korea the UN adopted a global action plan that demands a worldwide “education regime” to transform the youth of the world into social justice warriors. In this plan the UN wants the responsibility of shaping our children in ethics, values and spirituality. It is being implemented for the purpose of making our children “green warriors” and  a part of the war for the “common good”. This summit, organized and run by the UN Department of Public Information (UNDPI) and through Agenda 2030 has as a goal, having the NGO’s worldwide working to implement its idea of global citizenship. In a portion of this report it was made clear what they consider a “civil society. Our children may need to be taught the fundamentals but the education they receive must also advance the cause of global citizenship. It declares that all facets of education, physical, spiritually,, ethically, and intellectually which would normally be the realm of the family, community and churches have been thrown to the sidelines to further the agenda of the globalists. The education they would receive would work toward assuring our youth are forced to believe the roles, right and responsibilities that will be allowed to keep or given to them by the globalists through the auspices of the United Nations.

Among the agenda as being driven by the United Nations, much is made of “Human rights” as written in Article 29 of the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. The UN foundation for many of the plans that are moving forward. Using this article when read ensures that the UN and the tyrants who run the human rights council claim the your human rights can be limited by law for the purpose of “public order and the general welfare”. This line was first used by Hitler in the late 1930s. In essence you have no right, only privileges as given to you by the United Nations.  Your rights are not yours and in any case not be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

If the traditions and cultures of the individual sovereign states run afoul of the agenda the United Nations has set, it states that education will be “enhanced”.

Where does it all start? This could never happen here you say. Actually it already has. It started with the implementation of “Common Core” financed by Bill Gates and the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that was mentioned above on the intrusion of textbooks being used in this country. The objective is to make our children all good little globalists and to be transformed to be able to contribute to the global sustainable market. Common Core is the first step, a nationalizing of the curriculum that is meant to lead to a top-down planned society  that does not consider the Constitution, individual liberty and the God given rights that this country is founded upon. It is founded on teaching our children to be a part of the “globalist group” meant to take away the individualism and rights given to the American people and replace with global collectivism.

Through Common Core the effort is being made to “dumb down” the peole of the world.UNESCO has made it quite clear in the “Education for Sustainable Development report that “Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people who tend to have lower incomes. More education increases the threat to sustainability.” Does that help to make sense to why Obama is bringing the poor from all over the world, and wages being stagnant for almost nine years?

Obama is an advocate of this agenda as is the Education Secretary Arne Duncan. It typical political doublespeak , Duncan stated  “Our goal for the coming years will be to work closely with global partners, including UNESCO, to promote qualitative improvements and system strengthening”

 The United Nations, in their minds has the authority to override families and has the collective right to shape the values of our country’s children. They speak of sustainable development but neglect to mention that parts of the development agenda include population control, central planning, and global governance. It is through the education of the children, and the indoctrination of those children into becoming good children fitting into the global citizenship world of the new order. It is the intention of the UN agenda to restructure human civilization into a centrally planned global economy under the control of the progressive socialist globalists and the UN.

Even home schooling is not safe. Under the guise of “human rights” and equality, even home schooling, private schools and religious schools must be put under UN purview. Understanding that they can move forward with the global socialism that they envision if they can induce enough people using the buzzwords of “equality and rights”, the envision a “group of change” involving children and young adults taught in the system they will implement to create an activism for even further goals in the agenda they have set.

{rickwells.us} ~ Google is trying to disguise the nature of the $2 million grant they announced on Friday as being for reducing gun violence... They don’t want to come right out and say that it’s money that’s going for gun control, that might be damaging for their business. What they can do is say they’re doing the humanitarian thing, trying to stop inner city “gun violence,” and then give the lion’s share or all of the money to disarmament groups. The grant will be established by Google.org, the arm of the search engine behemoth that doles out money and resources to nonprofits, particularly to the PICO Live Free Campaign. As painful as it was to the psyche to read their liberal propaganda checklist that is the PICO website, a thorough search provided no explanation for the name PICO or if it’s an acronym for something too communist or unconstitutional to admit to just yet. They present themselves as being against gun violence, but what they really are is a leftist agitation and Constitution subverting cell as a look at their top two officials helps to reveal...http://rickwells.us/google-donates-millions-fight-gun-rights-white-privilege/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Mohammed Dahlan is an aspiring Palestinian with huge political ambitions. Specifically, he hopes to succeed Mahmoud Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority (PA)... Knowing this, Abbas expelled him from the ruling Fatah faction in 2011. Since then, Dahlan has been living in the United Arab Emirates. Hamas, the Islamist movement that has controlled the Gaza Strip for the past decade, used to consider Dahlan one of its fiercest enemies. As commander of the notorious Preventive Security Service (PSS) in the Gaza Strip in the 1990s, Dahlan was personally responsible for the PA's security crackdown on Hamas. On his instructions, hundreds of Hamas activists were routinely targeted and detained. The enmity was mutual; Dahlan too considered Hamas a major threat to him and the PA regime in the Gaza Strip... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10614/mohammad-dahlan-gaza

Who Cares About Jewish Unity?
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ There are four important aspects to the government’s decisions on Sunday relating to egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall and the conversion bill. The first is that by and large, the headlines of the stories distort rather than explain what the government decided.

The second is the nature of the American Jewish community’s response to the government’s moves.

The third important aspect of the story is what the government’s decisions tell us about how the government perceive Israel’s relations with the American Jewish community.

Finally, the aftershocks of the decisions tell us something important about the prospects for Jewish unity today.

To the first issue. From the headlines in the newspapers, it is easy to assume that the government just struck a blow at egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall plaza and changed for the worse the status of non-Orthodox conversions in Israel. But neither is the case.

As far as the Western Wall is concerned, the government decision doesn’t harm the egalitarian prayers at the holy site. For the past several years, egalitarian prayer services have been taking place regularly at Robinson’s Arch along the southern wall of the Temple Mount Plaza, just outside the archeological park.

The area, easily accessible from the Dung Gate, is easier to reach by car and foot than the regular Western Wall complex.

In January 2016, after protracted negotiations with progressive American Jewish groups, the government agreed to connect the Robinson’s Arch complex to the Western Wall complex. The government also agreed that management responsibility for the egalitarian prayer area would be transferred from the ultra-Orthodox-controlled Western Wall Foundation, to a new body that would include representatives of Reform and Conservative Judaism as well.

On Sunday, the government reversed that decision.

People have every right to be angry about the government’s move. It just reneged on its agreement, and that isn’t right.

Substantively, though, the government didn’t change the status quo. It just chose not to change it.

While wrong, it doesn’t justify the vitriol being leveled at the government by American Jewish leaders threatening to rethink their support for Israel.

As for the conversion law, the government’s decision on Sunday should make the members of the American Jewish community angry, but not for the reasons they claim. The draft conversion law the government just approved doesn’t change the status of converts who were converted by non-Orthodox religious courts outside of Israel.

Twenty years ago, the Neeman Commission decided, with the agreement of the Reform and Conservative movements, that people who converted in Reform or Conservative conversions outside of Israel would receive citizenship if they chose to make aliya under the Law of Return. They would not, however, be registered as Jews for the purpose of marriage, divorce or burial by the state rabbinate.

This would remain the case under the proposed law.

The people who are harmed by the conversion law are the more than half a million Israeli citizens from the former Soviet Union who made aliya under the Law of Return because they have Jewish lineage, but are not halachicly Jewish because their mothers are not halachically Jewish.

As Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, the chief rabbi of Efrat and noted conversion expert, explains, “According to great halachic authorities like the former chief rabbi of Israel Rav Ben-Tzion Uziel, although these Israeli citizens are not formally Jewish and must undergo a formal conversion, ‘it is incumbent upon the Religious Court to convert them because they have Jewish seed (zera Yisrael).’” Riskin adds, “Of course, we must always encourage observance of the commandments, but the bottom line must be to love and embrace them; they are living in Israel and their children will be going to the IDF.”

Uziel’s ruling informs the conversion policies of religious-Zionist rabbis and conversion courts, but it is rejected by the ultra-Orthodox religious authorities who today exercise absolute control over state conversions.

When the Neeman Commission reached its accord with the Conservative, Reform and Orthodox Jewish authorities in 1997, the Orthodox authorities included both ultra-Orthodox and religious-Zionist, or Modern Orthodox, rabbinic authorities.

As a result, the assumption of the commission members was that the state conversions would be conducted in an atmosphere that reflected a plurality of views represented in the Orthodox Jewish world, including the view of Rav Uziel, which informs the judgment of religious-Zionist rabbinic authorities.

This assumption ceased to be correct however in 2004.

That year, then-prime minister Ariel Sharon’s coalition began unraveling. Sharon’s decision to adopt the policy of the Left and unilaterally withdraw from Gaza while destroying the Israeli communities in Gaza and northern Samaria and forcibly expelling their 10,000 residents tore his party and government apart. Sharon fired the ministers from the National Religious Party and the National Union.

To survive in office, Sharon had to retain the support of the ultra-Orthodox parties. To this end, he acceded to their demand to kick religious-Zionist rabbis out of the state rabbinate and replace them with ultra-Orthodox rabbis. Sharon’s move gave the ultra-Orthodox total control over all state conversions.

Since then, the ultra-Orthodox rabbis have used their absolute to cancel the conversions performed by the most senior rabbis in the religious-Zionist community. Some of the converts affected have been Jews for decades and raised Jewish children.

Their Judaism and that of their children was retroactively denied by the rabbinate.

The ultra-Orthodox rabbinic courts subject half a million Israeli citizens who made aliya under the Law of Return to humiliating and drawn-out conversion processes even though many of them have lived their entire lives as Jews in Israel.

Rather than be given consideration as Rav Uziel and the national-religious religious authorities prescribe, they are treated as though they never had any relationship with the Jewish people of which they have always considered themselves members.

Due to the progressive American Jewish groups’ enthusiastic support for the withdrawal from Gaza and the destruction of the Israeli communities in Gaza and northern Samaria, they did not object to Sharon’s move.

And now, by mischaracterizing the government- backed conversion bill as a slap in the face to Reform and Conservative converts, they miss the real reason they should be fighting the legislation.

They should be fighting the bill because a large majority of the members of their communities are intermarrying. The children of many of those marriages who want to make aliya will be subjected to the same humiliating conversion processes undertaken by the ultra-Orthodox state rabbinic courts as the half a million Israelis who are not registered as Jews with the Chief Rabbinate face.

The fact that this doesn’t seem to be a concern for them indicates two things. First, their anger over the proposed law is not substantive. The contents of the bill – from their perspective – do not change the status of their converts. They have been living at peace with that status, which they agreed to, for 20 years.

At the same time, the American Jewish leaders who threaten not to speak to or host Israeli politicians who support the bill, ignore the fact that the current law would doom the children of their intermarried community members to second-class status in Israel if they try to convert halachically in the framework of aliya, rather than ensuring that they are treated with the love and respect their deserve.

Along these lines, and in relation to the Israeli citizens from the former Soviet Union, Rabbi Riskin notes, “The entire fabric of Israeli society would be torn as under if a division were made between Israelis and halachic Jews. The religious courts must do their utmost to expose them to basic Shabbat, festivals and kashrut observance, but the most important goal must be to bring them into the Covenant with the Jewish people. After all they have gone through because of their ‘Jewishness’ under the Communist regime, it behooves us to incorporate them within our Jewish collective as part of the miracle of the ingathering of the exiles.”

So both in the case of the government’s decision regarding the Western Wall and in relation to its decision regarding the draft conversion law, American Jewish leaders are reacting with fury unhinged from the substance of the decisions themselves.

They cry foul to perceived, but largely imaginary, slights while ignoring the real problem with the conversions bill.

This then brings us to the government, and what apparently motivated it to take action that so provoked the American Jewish leadership.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, vice president of the Conservative Rabbinic Assembly, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of preferring momentary political advantage to the interests of the Jewish people. In her words, “The prime minister will do what he sees as beneficial for the next five minutes of his political life... There’s no possible way that the prime minister and his officials can argue they’re acting in the best interests of the State of Israel. They are betraying the citizens of the State of Israel in order to keep themselves in power for the next five minutes.”

While nasty, her criticism is not without foundation.

But what was Netanyahu’s alternative? If the American Jewish community flies off the handle and declares war against the government, threatening to blackball the elected leaders of the Jewish state when they adopt measures that while impolite have little substantive effect on their positions, then why should Israel take their views into account? If everything that the government does is terrible, then dialogue is reduced to recrimination. Sitting with progressive Jewish leaders from America means being subjected to a lecture about how terrible Israel is by people who do not live here and are not interested in having a serious discussion about what is actually on the table.

The fact that they are not interested in having that sort of discussion, and that they have no interest in making Israel their home, is demonstrated by their indifference to the real implications of the draft conversion law. Leaders truly invested in the future of both their communities and of their communities’ ties with Israel would be appalled by the retention of monopoly control over conversions by rabbinic authorities who refuse to recognize the difference between children of intermarriage and non-Jews with no relation to Judaism and the Jewish people.

They would insist that religious-Zionist rabbis be reinstated in the state rabbinate, and work avidly to ensure that conversions once approved cannot be overturned.

The real problem here is that while everyone involved speaks of the need for Jewish unity, no one involved in the conversation seems to be motivated to work toward that goal.

Jewish unity isn’t achieved by mutual recrimination.

And it isn’t achieved by one-upmanship. It is achieved through compromise based on mutual respect and love for fellow Jews. Absent that, nothing good will come from negotiations or laws or agreements. Absent that, nothing good will come at all.

{rickwells.us} ~ Is Special Witch Hunt Prosecutor Robert Mueller trying to bait President Trump into firing him by making it impossible for him to not do so... or merely just not care who knows that this is the Trump railroading and he’s the engineer Despite his obvious conflict of interest due to his friendship with star witness James Comey, Mueller has refused to step down from his high profile and powerful position and has effectively doubled down by hiring all liar-Clinton supporters and Democrat donors to his staff. Now he’s become so brazen as to hire a close colleague of the defiant and fired former US Attorney, Preet Bharara. Ever since he was fired after refusing to resign in March, early in the Trump administration, Bharara has been a vocal critic of President Trump. Now it appears that the Chuck clown-Schumer ally get’s to exact some revenge by proxy...The hunt is on.

John Conyers of Detroit is under investigation for possible ethics violations, according to a Monday disclosure by the House Committee on Ethics that his office downplayed. The nature of the allegations against the 88-year-old Democrat are unknown, but the committee acknowledged it is reviewing a May 11 referral from the independent Office of Congressional Ethics, which investigates potential misconduct and forwards findings if board members believe there is “substantial reason to believe” a violation may have occurred... http://americanlookout.com/oh-look-another-democrat-congressman-is-under-an-ethics-investigation/

President Trump’s director of legislative affairs, Marc Short, appeared on Fox News Sunday, offering an olive branch to potentially remove liar-nObamacare’s protections for pre-existing conditions. “We hope it’s part of the process of bringing everybody together,” Short said, alluding to Cruz’s “Consumer Choice” proposal. “We support Senator Cruz and Senator Lee’s efforts,” Short said. “This is similar to efforts that transpired in the House, and we think it’s perfectly appropriate, his amendment.”...http://theresurgent.com/white-house-signals-cruz-lee-may-save-healthcare-proposal-this-summer/

{rickwells.us} ~ It might have been even worse if President Trump had eaten his Pop-Tart into the shape of a pistol and tried to walk into CNN or ABC headquarters... but the hand-wringing over nothing in the wrestling video of President Trump defeating CNN is hysterical, in more ways than one. The fake media organization being defeated in what is recognized as a fake media sporting event, professional wrestling, seems entirely appropriate and is undoubtedly well deserved. But now the Fake News strategists are shifting their well-honed alarmist skills and impulses from the climate hoax to “Trump’s going to get someone killed.” It’s not a problem when they’re reporting and endorsing the vilification of Republicans or glamorizing and legitimizing the assaults by their leftist comrades at Trump rallies, BLM marches, campuses, city streets and elsewhere. Leftists can do as they please, they’ve got a pass. The slightest response to their provocations by the President is a carte blanch for them to lose what’s left of their little minds... http://rickwells.us/another-rosie-odonnell-cnns-navarro-attacks-trump-wrestling-video/

by Peggy Noonan
{
peggynoonan.com} ~ Here is a column on two very different topics. If my editor is clever he will find a common theme.

The first has to do with the national media climate at this time of political uncertainty, anxiety and division. I suspect at least half the country those who support President Trump, have reserved judgment about him, or just want the news straight feel they can no longer trust, or feel actively excluded by, mainstream entertainment and news.

What we need from media folk is a kind of heroic fairness. What we have instead is endless calculation.

Last week the subject was the divisive nature of so much of our entertainment culture, especially late-night talk shows.

We are living in a time of the politicization of everything. You cannot, at the end of a long day, relax with a talk show because it will take a highly political point of view, in a dominant and aggressive manner, as if politics were not part of life but life. It is obnoxious and assaultive. It effectively tells the audience: ‘We only want you here if you agree with us. If you like Donald Trump, get lost.” Some news shows take a similar approach.

Dislike of Mr. Trump within the mainstream media is unalterable. It permeates every network, from intern to executive producer and CEO.

Here is a theory on what they’re thinking: They’re thinking attempts at fairness and balance in this charged atmosphere get them nowhere. They’re attacked by both sides. And anyway they think Mr. Trump is insane.

They live on ratings, which determine advertising rates. liar-Hillary Clinton got 2.9 million more votes than Mr. Trump, so the anti-Trump audience is larger. Moreover, people who oppose Mr. Trump tend to be more affluent, more educated, more urban. They’re more liberal, of course, and they’re younger. They’re a desirable demographic. The pro-Trump audience is more rural, more working- and middle-class, older. A particularly heartless media professional might sum them up this way: “Their next big lifestyle choice will be death.”

So, if you are a person who programs or sets the tone of network fare and you want to take a side—you shouldn’t, but you want to!—you throw your lot with the anti-Trump demo, serving them the kind of journalistic approaches and showbiz attitudes they’re likely to enjoy.

Mr. Trump, you are certain, won’t last: He’ll bring himself down or be brought down. You want to be with the winning side. So play to those who hate him, exclude others, call it integrity and reap the profits.

That is my theory: media bias now is in part a financial decision, instead of what it used to be, a good old-fashioned human and institutional flaw.

This contributes to public division—to the great estrangement we see in America. I talk to media folk a lot, being one, and haven’t found anyone who’s said, “Why yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing, deepening our national divisions for profit!” Although I shared my theory this week with a senior manager of a news organization who quickly mentioned another major news organization and said: “I think that’s what they’re doing.”

But I do think it’s part of what is going on. I add only that it’s not only cynical and destructive, as a business strategy it’s stupid. Bias is boring. It’s predictable, rote, is an audience-limiter. What has value at a time like this is playing it straight and presenting the facts. That’s what they ought to do instead of taking a side.

*   *   *

I was traveling this week for work, in Europe.

When we arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, passport control was closed down. Many hundreds of people milled about confusedly. An airline worker said two unattended bags had been found and security personnel were on the scene. Officials might have to explode the bags where they are. Will there be any warning? Yes, I was told, they’ll tell us before and we’ll hear it. Does this sort of thing happen often? “A few times a day,” an attendant said.

There was no air of alarm, and everyone around us was pleasant. After 35 minutes passport control opened, without an explosion. The attitude was that this was par for the course, just another day at the office.

Two hours after I got to my hotel, word came of a terror attack three blocks away, on the Champs Élysées. I asked the woman at the desk for directions and she said, in low and measured terms, “I’m sorry madame, there has been a terrorist occurrence. You should not go there.” I said “Yes, I’d like to go see it.” She brightened: “In that case, go left, left, then final left!”

Soon I was in a small crowd being held back by a handful of police. They protested: My work is there. I must go there. I walked for a few blocks, to a small park off the Champs. Police had put up police tape, but as soon as they turned away people ducked under it and continued on their way.

No one in the crowd—workers in the shops, mothers with children, tourists—seemed the least put out or concerned, never mind scared, which they were not.

The next morning the story of what had happened on the Champs Élysées was not even the top story on the international news. Which is a wonder, since this is what happened:

A man had crashed his Renault into the front car of a police convoy. The assailant was later killed. Officers searched his car and found weapons and explosives, reportedly including gas canisters, handguns and a Kalashnikov. The assailant was said to be in his early 30s, from a Parisian suburb, and known to police.

A few hours later at an outdoor cafe I watched as people rode by on scooters and motorcycles. The sidewalks were busy, bright, sun-dappled at dusk. Young people were strolling by and staring down at their phones. Strolling and scrolling, all as carefree and relaxed as any other day.

As I lingered over dessert. A colleague emailed an alert from a private security firm: Continue to avoid the vicinity of Champs Élysées and Avenue Montaigne. I replied: “I am literally on Avenue Montaigne and nothing is happening here but bitchy gossip in the cafe.”

“At least you’re having a very French experience then,” my colleague replied.

I was. Forty-eight hours later, en route to England, I saw the front page of the Times of London: A suspected terrorist had been shot and killed by soldiers in a Brussels railway station. He had attempted to detonate an explosive vest or belt. The story was illustrated with a photo of a handsome young passerby who’d been staring at his phone and suddenly turned toward a flash of light behind him: the late terrorist.

Nothing feels different, all looks the same, no one is letting the discomfort get in their way, but in Europe, terrorism is the new normal.

And much is made of what remains of British stoicism, but something should be said for French sang-froid.

My editor discerns this theme: Perhaps there is a happy medium somewhere between bitter division and blasé complacency.

Independence Day: Why We Fight

Independence Day: Why We Fight

Another Independence Day is upon us. Each one presents to us a challenge: will we also fight for freedom and independence, or give them up? The struggle for freedom has not changed, and will never change. It is the eternal struggle over whether human beings will live free, or willingly submit to slavery.

All over the world today, slaves are seeking slavery. Slaves everywhere are defending and even glorifying slavery. As those who are standing against tyranny continue to be excoriated as enemies of the people, demonized, and marginalized, avoiding slavery will be harder than ever. People everywhere defend oppressors and carry water for bullies and tyrants, and think all the while that they’re serving the cause of freedom.

In reality, you are either fighting for one thing, or the other. If you’re not working to advance the cause of freedom, you’re working to advance the cause of slavery. The cause of slavery has so very many advocates today. Be an advocate for freedom — for what we must defend, not what we must fight against:

1. Governments deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

What we must defend:

“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” — Declaration of Independence

What we must defend it against:

Non-Muslims have “absolutely no right to seize the reins of power in any part of God’s earth nor to direct the collective affairs of human beings according to their own misconceived doctrines.” If they do, “the believers would be under an obligation to do their utmost to dislodge them from political power and to make them live in subservience to the Islamic way of life.” — Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Pakistani political party Jamaat-e-Islami

2. Equality of rights before the law.

What we must defend:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — Declaration of Independence

What we must defend it against:

“The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” — Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic sacred law (o4.9)

“Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution. … Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash. … Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain…Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed. … Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.” — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

3. Freedom of speech

What we must defend:

“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…” — First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

What we must defend it against:

“In confronting the Danish cartoons and the Dutch film ‘Fitna’, we sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed. As we speak, the official West and its public opinion are all now well-aware of the sensitivities of these issues. They have also started to look seriously into the question of freedom of expression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, which should not be overlooked.” — Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation

“Pakistan will ask the European Union countries to amend laws regarding freedom of expression in order to prevent offensive incidents such as the printing of blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the production of an anti-Islam film by a Dutch legislator…” — Daily Times of Pakistan

“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” — Barack Hussein Obama

“We also understand that, for 235 years, freedom of expression has been a universal right at the core of our democracy. So we are focused on…us[ing] some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.” — Hillary Clinton

“We are going to have the filmmaker arrested.” — Hillary Clinton, referring to the filmmaker whose YouTube video about Muhammad she blamed for the Benghazi jihad massacre

4. Freedom of religion, and non-establishment of religion

What we must defend:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” — First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

What we must defend it against:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” — Hamas-linked CAIR co-founder and longtime board chairman Omar Ahmad (he denies saying it, but the original reporter stands by her story)

“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.” — Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper

The Muslim Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — Mohamed Akram, “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”

Never surrender. Never submit. Never be silenced. Freedom and independence forever.

UK: ALGERIAN MUSLIM invader who sprayed supermarket foods with his own pee and poo still can’t be deported despite £250,000 legal battle to kick him out

For unknown reasons, an Algerian Muslim savage who was jailed for spraying food with his own excrement in supermarkets still can’t be deported. Chemist Sahnoun Daifallah, 50, was jailed for nine years at Bristol Crown Court in 2009 for contaminating food and wine at four different businesses in May 2008.

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/41F5E8F600000578-4658478-image-a-1_1498986112950.jpg?resize=584%2C835" alt="" width="584" height="835" />

Daifallah squirted a mixture of urine and faeces from a 1.5 litre weed killer container – concealed within a laptop bag – at the Air Balloon Pub in Birdlip, before moving on to a Waterstones bookshop in Cirencester.

Two days later, he targeted a Tesco store in Quedgley and a Morrisons in Abbeydale. Damage to the businesses was estimated at £700,000. A search of his house in Gloucester revealed further plans to contaminate businesses in Bristol and Birmingham.

Daifallah, who was granted refugee status two years after arriving in Britain in 1999, was told he would be deported in 2010 – but he has been in immigration custody since February 2013, The Sun reported. Since then, there have been two judicial reviews. However it is not clear what his objections to deportation were.

A Home Office spokeswoman told MailOnline: ‘This government puts the rights of the British public before those of criminals, and foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality by committing crimes in the UK should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them.’

GOING TO WIMBLEDON? Thank a Muslim for all the fancy new concrete barriers and military-style armed police now required to stop yet another Islamic terrorist attack

SECURITY at Wimbledon has been beefed up with anti-terror barriers and huge concrete blocks to prevent a repeat of the Westminster and London Bridge Muslim terror attacks.

Express  A ring of steel has been erected around London’s SW19 area ahead of the sporting showcases. Armed police and sniffer dogs will be deployed at the two-week tennis tournament, expected to draw close to 500,000 fans. 

It comes after two Islamic terror attacks hit London this year, with Islamic terrorists using a car and a van to mow down people before they launched stabbing attacks. 

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/rtr48a7s-1-2048x1536_3417150.jpg?resize=768%2C432" alt="" width="590" height="332" />

Superintendent Jo Edwards, head of the security operation, said: “We take into account the threat level in UK and we take into account the atrocities that have taken place in the UK since March.

“The public will see a significant number of police officers and security staff visible in plain clothes or in uniform at different times of the day and night across the fortnight. “That is designed to be really reassuring to visitors to the club.”

Concrete barriers and robust metal gates were installed this week to stop vehicles from ploughing into fans queuing for tickets. 

Armed police gave also been pictured making their way through crowds in Henley-on-Thames ahead of the Henley Royal Regatta

Although security barriers have been used before, Supt Edwards said members of the public would see more this year.

She added: “They are there to protect the public as they make their way to and from the Championships.” Supt Edwards said there was no specific intelligence to suggest an attack was pre-planned.

Wimbledon has also published security advice on its website, saying there will be a “proportional uplift in measures” at this year’s Championships.

The “enhanced measures” include the use of sniffer dogs, CCTV, and thoroughly searching people, their bags and vehicles before entering the grounds.

As well as the usual knives and sharp objects, the tennis club has banned visitors from entering with selfie sticks, flasks, or any “objects or clothing bearing political statements”.

Scotland Yard, which will be supporting Wimbledon staff with their security plans, also warned against touts who may be selling unauthorized tickets, and pickpockets who thrive in crowded areas.

NYPD to deploy sand-filled trucks on July 4 – to prevent Muslims from plowing into crowds

Source: NYPD to deploy sand-filled trucks for Fourth of July fireworks | «ny.24telegraph.com»

The NYPD will deploy nearly 120 sand-filled trucks and “blocker vehicles” near July 4 fireworks viewing spots in Manhattan to prevent an attacker from plowing into crowds as terrorists have done in London; Berlin; Nice, France, and elsewhere in Europe.

Speaking at police headquarters at the start of Independence Day weekend, Commissioner James O’Neill said the trucks have been parked strategically at large public gatherings like parades in New York City since after Bastille Day in July 2016, when 86 people were killed by a terrorist-driven truck that rushed into a crowd watching fireworks in Nice, France.

“We have to pay attention to what’s going on not just in the city,” O’Neill said. “We have to pay attention to what’s going on in the nation and the world, and we saw what happened in Nice.”

Chief of Department Carlos Gomez said 2017 is the first year the trucks will be deployed at a July 4 celebration in New York City.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said spectators shouldn’t be afraid when they see heavily armed cops.

“See this as a good thing. You will see well-armed police officers with long guns,” he said.

Millions of spectators are expected to cram Manhattan’s East Side and viewing spots in Brooklyn and Queens to watch the Macy’s fireworks show — with many millions more watching from rooftops and on TV.

The show will be launched from five barges stationed between East 24th and East 41st streets in the East River. The fireworks begin at 9:20 p.m., but the viewing pens open hours earlier.

“Several thousand” cops in uniform will be assigned to the event, some of whom will be guarding the 15 entrances to pens in Manhattan. Each entrance will have a checkpoint staffed by police officers with radiation detectors, others searching bags, along with an NYPD “striker team” armed with “long guns,” said Chief of Counterterrorism James Waters. Gomez said: “There will be a good amount of officers attired in civilian clothes that will be mingling in with the crowds to detect any suspicious activity or behavior.”

No big bags, umbrellas or alcohol are allowed, Gomez said.


In other words, no fun. Land of the free or the first stages of a police state courtesy of Islam? As we become a land less free from Muslims, we become significantly less free. And less brave.

And this guy suddenly thinks “long guns” are good.

Connecticut: Islamic School Didn’t Prevent Sexual Assaults on 3-Year-Old Girl

Is the perp a refugee? Source: Lawsuit: School Didn’t Prevent Assaults on 3-Year-Old Girl – Education Week

Hartford, Conn. – A Muslim community is facing allegations it failed to prevent several sexual assaults of a 3-year-old girl by an older boy at a private school it runs on its property.

The parents of the girl filed a lawsuit in state court last month against the Muslim Society of Greater Danbury, which runs the Al Hedaya Islamic Center in Newtown. They are seeking unspecified damages.

The lawyer and the principal for the school deny the parents’ allegations that school officials acted improperly. They also say the allegations against the boy have never been proven.

“The Muslim Society of Greater Danbury is a leader in the community with its outreach, community, and charitable work,” the society’s lawyer, Refai Arefin, said in a statement. “The MSGD takes the safety and security of its congregation very seriously. When the facts are known, it will be shown that the allegations directed at MSGD and its volunteers are completely false.”

Newtown police say they investigated the sexual assault allegations but there was no probable cause to arrest the boy. Court documents don’t list the boy’s age but say he was a minor.

The parents say their daughter, known as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, was a 3-year-old kindergarten student at the Islamic Center’s school when she was sexually assaulted by the boy several times in a bathroom and other secluded areas of the school between Sept. 15 and Oct. 6, 2015. Their lawsuit alleges all the assaults involved the boy touching the girl’s private parts.

The parents noticed a change in the girl’s behavior and took her to a therapist, who concluded she had been sexually assaulted and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, the lawsuit says.

The girl’s parents say school officials were well aware that the boy, named John Roe in the lawsuit, had a “propensity” for violence and bullying before their daughter began attending the school and didn’t take action to protect other students from him. The lawsuit says school officials also knew of a report that the boy previously had bullied another male student and the bullying involved contact that “may have been sexual in nature.”

The plaintiffs say school officials are required by Connecticut law to report physical abuse of students to the state Department of Children and Families but did not do so in the case of the bullying and possible sexual assault of the other boy. They also allege school officials did not promptly report the sexual assault of their daughter to the state, a claim also denied by school officials.

The lawsuit further alleges the school is not certified by the state to operate as a private school or accredited by any educational group and its teachers don’t have the credentials needed for their jobs.

Although the Islamic Center’s website says a “private school” called the Granada Academy operates at its Newtown property for students in pre-kindergarten through the fifth grade, Arefin and the school’s principal, Kristin Fuller, said the school actually is a “homeschooling community” supervised by parents that is not subject to state laws on private schools.

Fuller is countersuing the girl’s parents on defamation allegations, saying their false allegations are damaging to her reputation.

Fuller also alleges in court documents that the girl’s mother was jealous of the boy’s mother and was removed as a teacher at the school because she was ineffective, both factors Fuller suggests were motivation for the mother to file the lawsuit.

American Muslim Activist Incites to Armed Struggle, Self-Determination at @JohnJayCollege Left Forum Plenary Session

17

This has been the plan all along. It’s why leftists and Islamic supremacists have partnered — the red/green axis.

Joining this seditionist was Muslim terror supporter Linda Sarsour, Oscar Lopez Rivera, a leader of the Puerto Rican FALN paramilitary organization et al.

The following remarks were made at the opening plenary session of the annual Left Forum convention, held at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice … look at the poison they are infecting our children with. But my colleagues and I are blacklisted for speaking in defense of freedom on college campuses.

Struggle and Self-Determination

American Muslim activist Sekou Odinga said that the “internally oppressed nations” – including the indigenous people, the “New Africans,” Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and Hawaiians – had the right to conduct armed struggle for their “self-defense and liberation.” Speaking at the opening plenary session of the annual Left Forum convention, held at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, on June 2, Odinga claimed that the U.S. was using the war on terror and the “xenophobic war on immigrants” to repress minorities and immigrant communities. Odinga, who served a long prison sentence for attempted murder and for RICO violations, was presented by moderator Laura Flanders as a former “U.S.-held political prisoner of war.” He said that it was the responsibility of the left to agitate and organize the people “to resist the oppressor state by any and all means.” Other panel members were artist and author Molly Crabapple, journalist and black activist Glen Ford, and American Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour. Oscar Lopez Rivera, a leader of the Puerto Rican FALN paramilitary organization, who was recently released from prison, addressed the audience by phone. A video of the session was posted on the YouTube channel of Other Voices, Other Choices on June 26.

Sekou Odinga: “For the US to acknowledge the existence of political prisoners and prisoners of war would be to admit that there are fundamental injustices that stem from the settler colonialism that built this country, that the internally oppressed nations, the indigenous people, New Africans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Hawaiians, etc., have the right to freedom and self-determination. They have the right to struggle, using whatever tactics and strategies – armed and otherwise – for their self-defense and liberation.

[…]

“Mass incarceration has been used to repress, control, and destroy black self-determination, in the same way that the war on poverty and the war on drugs was used. This is the same way that the war on terror and the xenophobic war on immigrants is being used to control and repress Muslims and immigrant communities today. These are strategies of war, meant to dismantle, disrupt, and otherwise neutralize poor working-class families and communities. They are meant to prevent self-determination and the potential for militant resistance.

[…]

“It is the responsibility of the left to educate, agitate, organize the people, especially young people, to resist the oppressor state by any and all means.”

Australian pediatrician “Dr. Jihad” joined ISIS, now urges Muslims in the West to join Islamic State in new video

29

What do Western elites in denial imagine Dr. Jihad is appealing to in his coreligionists? What do Western elites in denial imagine Anwar Awlaki, once “moderate” imam “turned” jihadi supremo to the ummah, appealed to (and still does) to the Muslim devout?

Australian paediatrician dubbed ‘Dr Jihad’ after joining ISIS in Syria calls on Muslims in the West to join terror group in twisted propaganda video

  • Perth-born Tareq Kamleh left Australia two years ago to join the terror group
  • He appears in a new video released on Tuesday with a long, straggly beard
  • Sitting in a tunnel, he condemns Muslims in the West for becoming ‘stagnant’
  • He also taunts Donald Trump for sending American soldiers to fight ISIS

By Khaleda Rahman For Daily Mail Australia

A paediatrician who left Australia in 2015 to join ISIS has resurfaced in a new propaganda video, urging Muslims in the West to join the terror group.

Perth-born Tareq Kamleh – dubbed ‘Dr Jihad’ – is seen for the first time in more than two years in an official six-minute video released on Tuesday.

Now going by Abu Yousef al-Australi, he appears pale, with dark circles under his eyes and sporting a long, straggly beard.

In the clip, he is seen treating a child in a hospital before speaking to the camera while sat in a narrow tunnel under the Syrian city of Raqqa, urging Muslims in the West to travel to join the so-called caliphate.

Perth-born Tareq Kamleh – dubbed ‘Dr Jihad’ – is seen for the first time in more than two years in an official six-minute video released on Tuesday

Before his spiel, Kamleh – dressed in scrubs – is seen appearing to treat a child in a hospital, who he says has been injured in a blast.

‘Is this one of the terrorists that America’s wanting to hit?’ he says, pointing to the little girl, who he later reveals has died.

‘We are dealing with the countless numbers of burnt children that are coming in now from the continuous bombings that America is dropping on us.’

He adds: ‘Is this really a war on terrorism?

‘Is there no shame in those Muslims still in the West?’

Then, clad in combat gear and brandishing a rifle, Kamleh sits in a narrow tunnel and chides Muslims who haven’t made ‘hijrah’ to join ISIS.

‘It really surprises me how the Muslim nation is acting at the moment and how stagnant you have all become,’ he says.

‘We are under continuous bombing here and we are fighting hard to try and hold the lands of Islam.

‘What more will it take for it to be a justified cause for you to come here and fight?

‘And if you can’t come here, jihad itself isn’t only in the lands of Syria or only in the lands of Iraq.’

He adds: ‘You are living in the countries that are sending us rockets. You are living in the countries that are killing Muslims in here and you are still paying taxes to them.

‘You have no honour. You have no self-respect. You have no love for fellow Muslims.’

Kamleh then says he has a message for the ‘kuffar’ (non-believers) before he begins taunting US President Donald Trump.

‘Now, a message to the Kuffar, to old Trump,’ he says.

‘We were so happy because for a long time we have been waiting for your soldiers to meet us on the ground here.

‘And your effeminate predecessor Obama danced around this subject for too long.

‘He refused to send us your soldiers and now we know they are on the lands wanting to enter our lands.

‘We are really eagerly awaiting your attempt to enter our cities.’

Chillingly, he concludes: ‘We love death more than you love life.’

Kamleh’s former colleagues, at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide and Mickey Base Hospital in Queensland, accused him of being lazy and leading a lavish playboy lifestyle while in Australia.

His appearance in the propaganda video comes as Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Trump and other world leaders head to Germany for the G20 summit.

The summit will kick off on Friday with a leader-level discussion behind closed doors on terrorism, at which Mr Turnbull will call for cyberspace to be treated just as seriously as the battlefield in countering ISIS.

NY: “Islamberg” Jihadi Arrested in NY With Firearms Stockpile

For years I have warned my readers of these Muslim terror compounds.

The jihad terror training compounds in the US, a news story I first broke back in 2007, are growing.

Geller Report, August 6, 2007: Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a terrorist organization with headquarters in Pakistan, has established over 45 compounds in rural areas throughout America. The compounds are providing paramilitary training to new recruits for the great jihad against the USA under the not-so-watchful eye of federal law enforcement officials.  Most of the recruits are African Americans who converted to Islam while doing hard time in federal prison.


79,239

These are essentially America’s no-go sharia zones, where even police maintain a hands-off policy. In the sister terror compound in New York, Islamberg, there is a campus of “The International Quranic Open University.” At the university, students receive training from manuals penned by Sheikh Gilani and learn that their “foremost duty” is to “wage jihad” against “their enemies.” The students are also treated to Gilani’s poetic tirades against Western civilization and his jihad jingles, such as this marching song.

Jihadi Cult Associate Arrested in NY With Firearms Stockpile

by Breitbart News, July 3, 2017:

A long-time associate of a U.S.-based Islamist terrorist organization, Muslims of America (MOA), has been arrested in Johnson City, NY. Authorities discovered that he had a large cache of weapons inside a storage locker. A source inside MOA says the weapons were intended for the group’s “Islamberg” headquarters in Hancock, NY.

The suspect, 64-year old Ramadan Abdullah, was previously arrested in 1977 when he and another man tried to rob a candy store in Brooklyn and someone was murdered in the process. When police searched his home, they found enough material to build 50 bombs. In the end, the charges against Abdullah were strangely reduced (see below).

On May 31, Abdullah was arrested after trying to steal four boxes of ammunition from a local Gander Mountain store. When police questioned him about the purpose of the ammo, his answers made them suspicious, and they obtained a search warrant for a storage locker he was renting in the town of Union.

During that search, police found a large assortment of weaponry including:

  • 8 assault weapons
  • 4 loaded handguns
  • 1 loaded shotgun
  • 2 rifles
  • 64 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices
  • flak jackets
  • 1,000s of rounds of ammunition, including .50-caliber armor-piercing rounds

Searches of other residences linked to Abdullah turned up another loaded handgun, more high-capacity ammunition feeding devices and ammunition, including .38-caliber rounds.

New York State Police Major Jim Barnes would not say whether Abdullah was connected to terrorist groups or any organizations, but confirmed that police believe Abdullah had made trips overseas.

“There’s no indications there was a plan in place to commit an act of violence. However, it begs the question, what was he doing with all this and what were his intentions down the road?” said New York State Police Maj. Jim Barnes.

“It’s just a tremendous blessing to be able to take all these high power weapons and high power ammunition off the streets, and who knows what kind of large scale tragedy that this investigation may have prevented later down the road,” said Johnson City Police Chief Brent Dodge.

Abdullah is currently being held in the Broome County Jail without bail.

Abdullah is a longtime associate of the U.S.-based Islamist cult Muslims of America.

NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Tuesday, July 4, 2017
Blessings to America and her sons and daughters on this day; the celebration of our nation.  But the nation we know and love as America, The United States of America, really began in the early 1600's when settlers came from other countries, mainly England, on an adventure that spawned the beacon of freedom and the light of Jesus Christ for the world.  The Mayflower Compact, which many believe today to be the first significant governing document of what would become the United States was very specific about the covenant these men and women were entering into with God for this new land.
 
The Mayflower Compact of 1620 reads: "IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, &c. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honor of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid."
 
Some 18 years later, The Fundamental Orders of 1638, were adopted in Connecticut.  Its preamble says,  "For as much as it hath pleased Almighty God...knowing where a people are gathered together the word of God requires that to maintain the peace and union of such a people there should be an orderly and decent Government established according to God, to order and dispose of the affairs of the people at all seasons as occasion shall require; ... to maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus ... which according to the truth of the said Gospel is now practiced amongst us; as also in our civil affairs to be guided and governed according to such Laws, Rules, Orders and Decrees..."
 
These documents and many others like them dispel the lie that America is not a Christian nation.  We allow freedom to all religions, because our God in Christ Jesus will not force Himself upon others, but rather allow them to come voluntarily. But the foundation of our nation must remain Christian otherwise we will not so long be a nation of freedom and justice.  God's sovereignty must be the rule of man.  The Lord said in Jeremiah 34:15, "And you were now turned, and had done right in My sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name." Remember your heritage in order to keep your freedom.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Cosmopolitan, Elle, and the Attack Against Conservative Women

Cosmopolitan magazine recently published an article with a headline that read “7 Women Who Could Be Our First Female President.

Among those seven, of course, is not a single conservative or Republican-leaning lady. Instead, Cosmo lists a handful of progressive women who it believes are “eminently qualified” for the job.

But in reality, there’s no shortage of right-leaning women also “eminently qualified” to be president of the United States. We have U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Utah Congresswoman Mia Love, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.

In the end, though, this irresponsible “journalism” shouldn’t come as a surprise. In fact, it’s only the latest assault against Republican and conservative women originating—ironically—inside a “women’s magazine.”

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3JsrAeF1yA

Recently, Elle magazine published an article titled “How Do We Criticize Problematic Women?” referring to right-leaning ladies like Megyn Kelly, Kellyanne Conway, and Ivanka Trump.

Not to be confused with feminist icons who overcame stereotypes and sexism to land successful careers, Elle magazine views right-leaning women as problems who need to be fixed.

But being problematic isn’t so bad. Instead of embracing a culture that’s anti-male and obsessed with victimhood, problematic women tend to favor a more traditional approach to women’s empowerment, one in which they embrace biology and consider themselves a “product of my choices” rather than a “victim of my circumstances.” As someone who self-identifies as a problematic woman, I have a message for these women’s magazines who can’t help but discriminate against their own kind.

Calling us “problematic” isn’t an insult—we’ll embrace this new name with pride. Being a problem, after all, is how this whole feminism thing got started. But pretending that we don’t exist? That’s insulting, and we’re here to very proudly tell you otherwise.

There Won’t Be Gender Restrictions at 2018 Olympics

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), in charge of making the rules for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, said that there will be no sex or gender testing required for the upcoming games.

“With regard to Hyperandrogenism in female athletes, there were no regulations in place at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 and there will be no regulations in place at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 as we are still awaiting the resolution of the Dutee Chand case,” the IOC wrote in a June email in response to an inquiry into how it would regulate the upcoming Olympics.

The response follows controversy that sparked after 800-meter South African runner Caster Semenya won gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Semenya’s intersex condition causes her to produce more testosterone (hyperandrogenism) than most women, prompting questions about whether she had an unfair biological advantage.

“These kind of people should not run with us,” Italian middle-distance runner Elisa Cusma said. “For me, she is not a woman. She is a man.”

In the past, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the world’s governing body for track and field, sought to preserve the male-female division by administering gynecological exams, chromosome tests, or hormone tests to ensure fair competition.

Shadow President? Obama Meets With South Korean President to Discuss Trump

Former President Barack Obama seems to be feeling nostalgic for his old job, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in Monday for 40 minutes.

The Korea Herald reported that Moon spoke about his recent meetings with President Trump in Washington and asked Obama for his advice on how to improve that relationship.

The meeting came after Obama spoke at the Asian Leadership Conference and the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta. There he attacked Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate change accord.

“In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history about climate change, an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership can still give our children a fighting chance,” Obama said in Indonesia.
