WAPO Pushes Fake News That Thomas Jefferson Held WH Iftar Dinner to ‘Celebrate Ramadan’

Source: Fake News: Washington Post Claims Thomas Jefferson Held White House Iftar Dinner to ‘Celebrate Ramadan’

by Warner Todd Huston

The establishment media became upset this weekend after President Donald Trump canceled the “White House Muslim Iftar Dinner tradition started by Thomas Jefferson.” But the media is wrong in every respect. Thomas Jefferson never held any Iftar dinner and only three out of 45 presidents ever hosted one, so there is no such “tradition” to cancel.

Amy B. Wang of the Washington Post led the pack with this nonsense that Thomas Jefferson held the “first Iftar dinner” with a June 24 piece entitled, “Trump just ended a long tradition of celebrating Ramadan at the White House.”

The often-used claim that Thomas Jefferson held the first Iftar dinner at the White House was trotted out by the Post’s Wang. She recounted the time when the diplomatic envoy from the Bey of Tunis, Sidi Soliman Melli Melli, visited Washington during Ramadan in 1805.

Jefferson invited the envoy to the White House for dinner at 3:30 PM—the time most Washingtonians had dinner in those days. But after he sent the invitation he was told that Melli Melli could not partake of a meal until after sunset because of Ramadan. Thomas Jefferson was faced with two choices: cancel the dinner entirely or simply have the meal later in the evening at a time when his guest could attend. As a good host and a decent person, Jefferson chose the latter.

In fact, all Jefferson did was change the time of his meal. He had no intention of honoring Islam. Jefferson simply was not honoring the religion of “the Musselmen”—as he termed Muslims at the time—when he changed the time of the meal. Also, there is no evidence that Jefferson asked Melli Melli what sort of food a “Musselman” would eat, so no special food was prepared to suit a Muslim’s religious needs. Jefferson neither inquired about religious accommodations nor was any made. All he did was move the time of the meal as a courtesy.

Further, Jefferson sent no letters containing proclamations about the meal being an Iftar dinner nor mentioning Islam, he never mentioned such honors in his private papers, and there is no record that he spoke to anyone about his intentions to honor the Muslim practice of an Iftar dinner.

To the Post’s Wang, that Jefferson had a dinner at all was somehow proof positive that he invented a “tradition” of some sort. As “proof” that it was an Iftar dinner, Wang quoted the words of liberal historian John Ragosta who gave the scintillating argument, “Yeah, it sounds to me like an Iftar dinner.”

Wang went on to insist there has been a “modern tradition” of having an Iftar dinner at the White House. But in truth, only three presidents in all of American history ever held an Iftar dinner.

Bill Clinton held the first one, a politically motivated dinner aimed at peeling Muslim voters away from the GOP, since at the time the growing Muslim-American community leaned toward becoming a Republican constituency.

George W. Bush, in a diplomatic effort, followed Clinton’s practice of holding Iftar dinners because he wanted to prove that the U.S. wasn’t looking to go to war with all of Islam in the wake of the attacks on 9/11/2001 and the subsequent implementation of the war on terror.

Naturally, Barack Obama held them because he had a personal connection to Islam through his childhood, growing up in Indonesia and raised during that time as a Muslim.

But three presidents out of 45 does not make a “tradition.”

In her ahistorical article, Wang also quotes John Quincy Adams who expressed “with an air of fascination” his dinner with the Tunisian envoy, but quotes Adams without also noting that the president thought Islam was a terrible and brutal creed.

What Adams thought about Islam is instructive. For instance, he described Islam as a religion of hate in a piece he wrote in the late 1820s:

The natural hatred of the Mussulmen towards the infidels is in just accordance with the precepts of the Koran. … The fundamental doctrine of the Christian religion is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. It forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies. … In the 7th century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab … spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. … He declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion. … The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust, to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature.

Other prominent Americans at the time also disparaged Islam.

The father of American jurisprudence, Justice Joseph Story, throughly slammed Islam:

Mahomet aimed to establish his pretensions to divine authority, by the power of the sword and the terrors of his government; while he carefully avoided any attempts at miracles in the presence of his followers, and all pretences to foretell things to come. His acknowledging the divine mission of Moses and Christ confirms their authority as far as his influence will go while their doctrines entirely destroy all his pretensions to the like authority. … And now, where is the comparison between the supposed prophet of Mecca, and the Son of God; or with what propriety ought they to be named together? …The difference between these characters is so great, that the facts need not be further applied.

Other founders agreed. Both Ben Franklin and John Quincy’s famed father, John Adams, criticized Islam as a doctrine of war, not a religion.

…

Jefferson’s dinner is neither a sure thing nor a “perhaps.” President Thomas Jefferson simply did not hold any Iftar dinner in the White House, nor did he intend to honor Islam that day. To claim that the very first president to authorize war against Muslims would have hosted a dinner to honor Islam is an absurdity of the first order.

Supreme Court reinstates Trump travel ban

This is the choice: some harmless people will be kept out, or some harmful people will be let in. That’s it. And this should never have had to go to the Supreme Court, as the law is quite clear:

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

“Supreme Court reinstates Trump travel ban,” Associated Press, June 26, 2017:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is letting the Trump administration enforce its 90-day ban on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, overturning lower court orders that blocked it.

The action Monday is a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency.

Trump said last week that the ban would take effect 72 hours being cleared by courts….

Robert Spencer: Muslim Brotherhood-linked Rep. Keith Ellison falsely claims 35 mosques attacked under Trump

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Google+

The Daily Caller reported Wednesday that Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN), the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, claims that since Donald Trump became President of the United States, thirty-five mosques around the country have been attacked. Ellison was, as will come as a surprise to no one familiar with his career, lying.

The Caller noted that in his tweet claiming this, “Ellison links to a Buzzfeed article that claims there have been around 35 ‘incidents of threats, vandalism and arson at U.S. mosques since January.’ The figure is roughly based on an outdated statistic mentioned in a March press release from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).”

Many of these “hate crimes” were just crimes: “The ACLU listed several burglaries in Alabama that targeted mosque donation boxes. But according to a police statement, authorities found ‘no evidence that these crimes are hate crime related.’ Another example involves a 16-year-old boy who set fire to a mosque, but authorities do not believe the arson was a hate crime. The ACLU also lists the murder of a young Muslim woman outside a mosque that occurred Sunday. Police currently believe the crime was a ‘road rage incident’ and not a hate crime….Ellison mischaracterizes some of the incidents CAIR reported by calling them ‘attacks,’ exaggerating instances like hate mail by including them in the 35-number from his tweet.”

We have seen this kind of thing many times before. For years, Islamic advocacy groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have wildly exaggerated the incidence of anti-Muslim hate crime, often misrepresenting crimes committed by Muslims themselves as anti-Muslim hate crimes, in order to portray Muslims in the U.S. as victims of widespread persecution. In reality, FBI statistics show that Jews are twice as likely to be victims of hate crimes as Muslims.

The objective is clearly to deflect counter-terror efforts, claiming that Muslims are more victimized than victimizer, and that counter-terror efforts are part of that victimization. Ellison and CAIR actually want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they’re the currency they use to buy power and influence in our victimhood-oriented society, and to deflect attention away from jihad terror and onto Muslims as putative victims. Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. Most notably, in February, a New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”

CAIR is unsavory in numerous other ways as well. The organization was named by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) A California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI, and a Florida chapter distributed pamphlets with the same message. In fact, CAIR routinely advises Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. A CAIR operative recently called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

Ellison is no better. Keith Ellison has spoken at a convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Yet ISNA has actually admitted its ties to Hamas, which styles itself the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Justice Department actually classified ISNA among entities “who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.”

It gets worse. In 2008, Ellison accepted $13,350 from the Muslim American Society (MAS) to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization: “In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” That’s from the Chicago Tribune in 2004, in an article that is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.

Also, CAIR raised large amounts of for Ellison’s first campaign, and he has spoken at numerous CAIR events.

So when someone like Keith Ellison claims a sharp rise in attacks against mosques, one must consider the larger strategy: to paint a picture of Muslims as being harassed and persecuted in the U.S., and deserving of law enforcement protection, not law enforcement scrutiny. If that strategy succeeds, the jihad will be able to advance unopposed and unimpeded, with no one daring to say a negative word about the poor victims. Until, that is, it is far, far too late.

Sweden CIVIL WAR: National Police Chief, “HELP US, HELP US!”

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

181

The desperate cry of a conquered nation.

Sweden on the Brink of CIVIL WAR, National Police Chief: “HELP US, HELP US!”

Sweden is being torn to pieces by Muslim immigrants and refugees. Law enforcement is crying out for help, and it is only a question of time before the country will need military intervention from abroad in order to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe.

(Photo: Sweden’s National police chief, Dan Eliasson

A leaked report concludes that the number of lawless areas (commonly referred to as “no-go zones”) in Sweden now totals 61. That is up from 55 in just one year’s time. This increase includes not only the total number, but also the geographical size of these areas.

Sweden’s National Police Commissioner, Dan Eliasson, spoke on national television and pleaded for assistance: “Help us, help us!,” he said, while warning that Swedish police forces no longer can uphold the law and therefore must ask all good powers in the country to support them.

A research expert regarding destabilized countries and 2011 recipient of Sweden’s Order of the Seraphim medal, Johan Patrik Engellau, has been working with organizations such as the UN and others that operate in crisis areas. He warns:

“I’m afraid it is the end for the well-organized, decent and egalitarian Sweden we have known up to now. Personally, I would not be surprised if a form of civil war occurs. In some places, the civil war has probably already begun.”

10News recently reported how the Swedish state has lost large areas to armed, religious groups best described as Islamist militias. Police chief Lars Alversjø says that, “There is lawlessness in parts of Stockholm (Sweden’s capital) now.” He also observed how, “The legal system, which is a pillar in every democratic society, is collapsing in Sweden.” Per Magnus Ranstorp, a researcher into terrorism and radicalization at the Swedish National Defense College, notes: “In the worst areas, extremists have taken over. The whole sense of justice and peace are threatened by the fact that the police is breaking down and it’s only getting worse. Sweden is in a disastrous situation.”

The Swedish Security Service (Säkerhetspolisen – abbreviated as Säpo), recently warned that the country is crawling with “thousands of Islamists” sharing Islamic State’s ideology. In many places, public servants (i.e., non-Islamic authorities) require police escort or protection.

In related news: Sweden Changing: 150,000 Women Undergo FGM, Authorities Admit Large Areas UNDER ISLAMIST RULE

The word that Swedish authorities and media use for the country’s “no-go zones” is utenforskap. The word means something like “excluded area.” In these areas, Swedish law has been replaced with a mixture of the law of the jungle and the Islamic legal code, sharia. Armed Muslim gangs and Islamic radicals are simply carving out big pieces of Sweden for themselves. The only reason why it has not evolved into large-scale armed conflicts — in this formerly peaceful and safe country — probably relates to how Sweden’s feminist-liberal government is not putting up any real resistance against the Islamists.

Even if the Swedish feminist government chose to fight back tomorrow, Sweden has nothing close to the paramilitary capacity needed to reverse this situation. That 80 percent of the country’s law enforcement officers are considering quitting their jobs is a clear sign of a police force that is completely demoralized. The military in this traditionally pacifist country is cut down to almost nothing, and there is no money to fix it.

As Johan Patrik Engellau puts it: “The government does not seem to understand that it has lost control. There is a point where you can no longer stop a situation’s development. I do not know if Sweden has reached this point when it comes to [the consequences of] immigration, but I fear we are drawing close. If we right here and now take and clear and powerful action – including stopping immigration and the political promotion of multiculturalism – we might with some difficulty be able to save Sweden.”

The fact remains that Sweden’s political elite is nowhere near taking such decisive action, as it has not even started to openly speak out about these problems.

Therefore Sweden will very soon need help from abroad. Police chief Dan Eliasson’s prayer for help only included potential partners inside Sweden, but very soon the international community will have to intervene if a humanitarian catastrophe is to be avoided.

Of fake news and fake investigations

NOTE:  When 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.
  
Monday, June 26, 2017
Two recent polls indicate that Democratic Party rhetoric is backfiring on them. A Harvard poll shows that Americans believe it's time to move on from the Russian influence narrative, and a YouGov poll indicates that Americans are wary of fake news. Driving the rhetoric on both these fronts is the radical left and the Democratic Party, which has caused violence and continues unabated even after a man influenced by the rhetoric created a hit list and attempted to assassinate Republican members of Congress. The New York Post is reporting that the dossier on Donald Trump that started the FBI Russian investigation was a product of people who were financed by and supported the Clinton campaign.
 
The Harvard-Harris poll of 2,258 Americans indicated that 68% of the country believe the Russian investigation is hurting America. Some 62% believe the investigation will end without accomplishing anything with 38% expecting the investigation to end in impeaching the President. Interesting that the political weight of the poll was 35% Democrat, 30% Independent and 29% Republican-meaning that the Democrat respondents are hoping for impeachment while the rest of the country just wants the investigations to end and to move on to important matters. Meanwhile, the New York Post report shows that the Democrats, specifically the Clintons, were behind those that started the whole Russian investigation.
 
Another poll conducted by YouGov indicates that 70% of the general public agrees that news organizations are subject to partisan agendas. The public however is divided along the lines of politics as to whether people trust the reporting by news organizations-52% of Democrats believe that the news media is influenced by those who fund them, and 85% of Republicans believe the media is influenced by those who fund them. 83% of Democrats are more likely to trust traditional news sources compared with 58% of Republicans. These statistics may indicate that people in general are getting tired of the fake news narrative and that Democrats are more likely to believe it than Republicans.
 
Over the weekend, CNN-often accused as the leader in fake news and of being an ardent supporter of the Democratic Party's "Resist" agenda-fully retracted a story linking the Congressional investigation of a Russian investment fund to Trump officials. As it ends up, the story was a lie as held accountable by Breitbart News. CNN to date has refused to address how it was written and published. The Democratic Party propagandists are behind both the Russian narrative and the fake news propagated by left leaning media. Americans appear to be catching on. As Jesus said in Matthew 10:25-26, " If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Therefore Fear them not: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Muslims in Bosnia preparing for jihad, expect to destroy Bosnian Christians in 10-15 days

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )


41

Sarajevo, 06.24.2017: How can Israel ever have peace with her Muslim neighbors when experience shows that in any instance in which a non-Muslim state is bordering on a Muslim state, the likelihood of war is high — because Muslim aggression cannot be contained by agreements? Israel, Armenia, Serbia, Greece, Ethiopia all have learned the truth the hard way. Whoever believes in peace with Muslim neighbors has another thing coming for him. In the Balkans, there are these Muslim majority mini-states and provinces from the scrapheap of failed states of former Yugoslavia that are swarming the crowded neighborhood. And this is making the situation ever more volatile. The names of these regions may seem foreign to us, but they are real: Western Macedonia, Albania, Bujanovac/Preshevo-Serbia, Sandzak-Serbia, Kosovo-Serbia, five large municipalities of Montenegro, one-half of Bosnia.

What’s even more worrisome for the prospects of the survival of European peoples and values is that there is this hideous pan-Islamic blueprint, according to which the string of Muslim regions in the Balkans is to be connected one day into a single administrative entity connecting Turkey and Saudi Arabia with millions of Muslims in Germany and France. This is a serious threat because the masterminds behind it are convinced that the bankruptcy of geopolitical ideas in Washington will come in handy for the execution of this plan. Besides, these planners have experience with bribery and successful lobbying of United States politicians who end up working for foreign interests instead of their domestic constituents. In the 1990’s – Saudi Arabia and Iran were responsible for pro-Balkan Moslem attitudes in Washington and a lot of hostile press for a policy against the Serbs who were at war with their Muslim neighbors. The Serbs were (and still are) standing directly in the way of the Moslem expansion blueprint for the Balkans. These planners in Istanbul and Riyadh believe that USA/NATO will remain asleep at the wheel of policy when the new Muslim empire in the Balkans gets constructed.

One obvious way in which this plan is being brought to fruition is through planned referenda of Balkan Muslim states for association with Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Current steps in that direction involve memberships in various international Muslims-need-only-apply organizations and conferences (such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation) as preliminary steps towards larger goals. The degeneracy in Europe is seen as a long-term opportunity for the mission of islamization there. Prominent among targets beyond the Balkans is Germany, which is seen as the softest of the large targets of demographic conquest. The 21st century Germans are a people devoid of history and free from any pride of national historic achievement. Unlike Japan, Germany had no meaningful tradition survive the fascist period. Almost all young living white German descendants of actual Germans of history have no serious interest in procreation and traditional family life.

However, their consumer economy demands fresh stocks of people. East Europe is no longer as eager a source of imported German manpower as it used to be. Turks, Arabs, Africans, Russian Muslims, Balkan Moslems loom large over Germany and seek to profit from her instant benefits system for guest workers, persecuted asylum seekers and various classes of refugees. The political ideology of the Left in Germany views very sympathetically these applicants because they are non-white and come from the Third World. Hence, the view is that these foreigners are owed something, and the red carpets are rolled in all directions.

In the article translated below, current tensions in Bosnia are revealed. Sefer Halilovich, a former Bosnian Muslim warlord (he was once a Communist officer in the Yugoslav Army) during the 1990’s (who was on trial in 2005 at the International Criminal Court in the Hague for a massacre of Christians in 1993) made bellicose and dismissive statements recently in which he confidently threatened a Bosnian Moslem war against the Christian Serb sector of Bosnia. He said that it will be successfully done at some point in the near future (taking no more than two weeks to accomplish), especially if a referendum for secession of the Serb part of Bosnia is voted upon. It is very interesting to note that in his statement the Muslim commander made it clear that there are plenty of fighters in Bosnia who would wage a war against their Christian neighbors. Did he mean by that – the foreign Arab jihadi terrorists from numerous Bosnian sleeper cells spread all over the place? The Serbian government in Belgrade swiftly condemned Salilovic’s unofficial declaration of war and told him in no uncertain terms that a Bosnian Moslem war of conquest on the Serbian part of Bosnia (called “Republic of Srpska”) will draw in the Serbian military to defend the Bosnian Serbs. The winds of war are never too far from the Balkans.

And yet in the case of this row, the symbolic question of the democratic right to vote is being opposed and made into a cause of Muslim war against Christians in Europe? We understand that Europe is no longer Christian and feels no solidarity with the Serbs. How can this be? How can religion, on the one hand, exercise such a strong hold over some men in the 21st century but not on others? Is time relative after all? Are we living in a reset of Medieval times, albeit with more lethal technology and only with respect to retrograde Muslims? Where is the Western world outcry about statements such as Sefer Halilovic’s threats?

Dachich Warns: War Would Come To Serbia Too: Muslims in Bosnia are preparing to attack, expect 10-15 days to destroy Bosnian Christians

“Halilovic tells what [Bosnian Muslim president] Bekir Izetbegovic thought. Therefore, his threats should be taken seriously, because it shows that there are war plans, which are based on the assessment that the Bosnian Republic of Serbs can not last more than 10-15 days and that Serbia cannot defend it. Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dachich believes that the statement of Sefer Halilovic on the destruction of the Republic of Serbs represents the biggest threat to peace and stability in the region. Dachich said that Halilovic is not only a former Muslim wartime commander, but he is an unofficial spokesman for Bakir Izetbegovic.” “It is clear that the referendum is only an excuse, and that it is the intention that the war be used to destroy the Serbian Republic. If they wanted to compromise, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia could have changed at least one notch in its intransigent decision [with which the Serbs were provoked]. But they were not about the need to compromise, but about an excuse for war intentions and war plans, which is what the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina apparently prepare for,” reads the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia proper.

“Serbia undoubtedly wants peace and will do everything to preserve stability, but certainly will not allow a military attack and destruction of the Republic of Serbs in Bosnia. No one should even dream of such a scenario,” said Dachich. He added that “Serbia is strong enough to defend itself, and will not allow the destruction of the Republic of Serbs in the case of an attack.” ” We expect an immediate response of the international community and international representatives in Bosnia and Herzegovina, if they truly care about peace ,” he concluded.

Muslim Head of the Army of Bosnia: If there is a referendum, we will delete the Serb Republic

General and Chief of Staff of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sefer Halilovic, threatened the Republic of Serbs with disappearance if the referendum in the RS has been taken. He claims that this would mean “unraveling” of the Dayton Peace Accords and the entry into force of the new Constitution. “We threaten no one, but we will not allow anyone to take away any part of Bosnia and Herzegovina without calamity”, said Halilovic, who was visiting a TV station to talk about the referendum on the day the rumor of a referendum on secession was heard. Halilovic, in fact, explains that the implementation of the referendum in the RS is tantamount to “unraveling” of the Dayton Peace Agreement and the restoration (or extension) of the current Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina into all of its territory.

“After such a referendum, the Dayton Constitution is no longer going to be in effect, so then we return to the new Constitution of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, then with Allah’s help for us all to get the wisdom and the strength to bring this story to the end,” said Halilovic for TV1. Halilovic said that the Republic of Serbs in a potential conflict can hold militarily no more than 10-15 days. Asked whether in Bosnia and Herzegovina there are enough people willing to fight, Halilovic answered with “Yes, absolutely.” “And that is why I appeal for a solid consideration of my words, because [former Serbian president] Milosevic is dead, the old Yugoslav National Army does not exist, there are no more thousands of tanks, thousands of armored carriers [that Serbs used to have]… Serbia cannot help RS. We will not allow for a half of our state to secede,” Halilovic said. Newspaper “Independent” writes that he spoke as if it is a referendum on secession, not the Day of RS. Halilovic says that “on the day when Dayton agreement unravels everything will be different …” Otherwise, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vuchich warned on Sunday that whoever is trying to “unravel” the Dayton Peace Agreement is making a real problem for everyone, no matter what, he said, the agreement is not perfect. “I’m afraid of everything if someone tries to wage war in our neighborhood. Serbia has obligations as a signatory to the Dayton Peace Agreement for Bosnia, but also because Serbia has her people living across the Drina river in Bosnia. Therefore, we will do our best to reduce tensions,” the Serbian prime minister said on RTS.

Report: CNN Imposing New Rules on Russia Coverage After Another Botched Story

Higher-ups at CNN are cracking down after another botched story regarding President Trump and Russia.

The network retracted and deleted a story late last week that claimed Anthony Scaramucci, who served on Trump’s transition team, was under FBI investigation for a meeting he had with a Russian executive. That story, which was based off of one unnamed congressional source, was false.

“No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason,” CNNMoney executive editor Rich Barbieri said in an email obtained by BuzzFeed. “This applies to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions.” The “Jason” referred to in the email is a vice president at CNN, according to BuzzFeed.

Comment: “It’s a Shame More Republicans Weren’t Shot”

Five people were shot after a political attack against members of my government took place outside DC last week. A man asked if the people playing baseball were Republicans or Democrats. Then he started shooting.

When a professor at my state university recently painted Captain America holding up the severed head of my president, and then put that painting on display at the University of Alaska, we were reassured that the act itself was not an act of violence and that no one was hurt by it. He was simply channeling his grief at the outcome of the election.

When Americans were attacked and beat up for attending rallies in support of the man who is now our president, we could at least be reminded that it wasn’t armed conflict and that no one had been killed. Nothing to worry about, right?

Then a professor in the DC area declared to the world last month that Republicans in Congress, “should be lined up and shot. That’s not hyperbole…” Maybe he didn’t mean it, some said.

What do we tell ourselves now, after a man terrorized Americans at a baseball practice because he found their politics unacceptable? What do we tell ourselves after some responded to the attack, “Its’s a shame more Republicans weren’t shot”, a Democrat Party official in Nebraska declared publicly, “I’m glad he got shot. I wish he was f****ing dead.”, and the founder of a major liberal news site declared: “Republicans are getting what they want.”

Running for office is expected to have its share of challenges of course: public criticism, late nights, early mornings, time away from family, etc. But, excepting combat vets, the thought of getting shot at isn’t something most elected officials have ever had to wrestle with. Having people literally wanting you dead, and saying so publicly, isn’t something most elected officials have encountered throughout our nation’s history. In that, we have been blessed.

But something profound is happening in America today. A segment of our society has decided that it is not enough to disagree politically. Disagreements have always been with us, even profound ones. That is nothing new. What is new today is that some have abandoned resolving those disagreements without resorting to condemnation. Some in America have lost the capacity to let their personal ideas be challenged without seeing such challenges as a threat to their person, as a threat to their safety. While they are glad to publicly celebrate the defeat of their political opponents on Election Day, they need a “safe space” if one of their candidates loses. Their political opponents and those who would support them are so evil, that unprovoked violence against them is justified.

A college president in our neighboring state of Washington this week requested that state police help restore order on campus after a white professor insisted on teaching his class on a day when all white people were asked to leave campus. We have reached a very low point indeed, when the only way to avoid violence is to physically remove an entire race of people from an American college campus.

In political terms, we are witnessing what happens when Americans begin to lose trust in the ability of our political process to negotiate acceptable terms of peace between warring factions. In some countries, violence and threats of violence are how political differences are resolved. America was conceived in the idea that constitutional government, and an American’s right to free speech which it protects, provides an escape from such terrors. You see, freedom of speech doesn’t just protect the person speaking. In the end, it protects all of us, because it preserves the space necessary to communicate and resolve passionate, even offensive, disagreement.

Curtailing free speech, no matter how altruistic the motivation, deprives us of a critical tool in preventing violent political confrontation. Our nation’s founders were not ignorant of such conflict. They witnessed it in the years leading up to the American Revolution, and then over seven bloody years of armed conflict. They left us with many tools; a system of checks and balances, to slow and even pacify the rush to resolve political issues through violence and threatened violence.

Over the years, we have watched as many of those checks and balances have been frustrated, and as succeeding generations have received less and less training in a number of the tools that were at one time simply an assumed part of the American Experiment. As bizarre as it sounds, our laws no longer carry the force of law today. Our elected officials no longer feel bound by them as they once did. The growing fear that a judge or justice will step in to overturn a written law or the result of an election, for whatever reason, has hastened the erosion of confidence that everyday Americans still have in our laws, and in the political processes that determine what those laws will be.

Events like the attack last week, and the responses to it, confirm that our situation is most dire. While a civil war is not necessarily around the corner, we should recognize that we are already many steps down the path towards such a possibility. Now is not the time to simply comfort the survivors of these types of attacks. Yes, comfort survivors. Yes, recognize the heroism and bravery of those who intervene on their behalf and on behalf of others who would have become victims otherwise. But also ask yourself what actions we can take today to alter course and to recover the confidence in our political institutions that has been lost.

Loss of confidence is not simply a marketing problem. It will require more than an expensive PR campaign to restore that confidence. It will require fundamental reforms and the hard work to bring those reforms about. It will require sacrifice on the part of each of us. As President Reagan reminded the generation of his day, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United State where men were free.” In the end, when our political institutions are working properly, they serve a valuable function: They provide our communities with tools to resolve the political differences that will always be with us—but only if those institutions are working properly. As Americans, it is our job to ensure that they are.

 liar-nObama Fights to Preserve His 
 liar-nObamaCare Lie

Barack liar-nObama has a habit of making statements that just aren't true. Remember this doozy from his final press conference as president: "I want to be quiet a little bit and not hear myself talk so darn much," insinuating that he would follow the example set by George W. Bush and refrain from political criticism and discourse. Less than two weeks later liar-nObama weighed in on the political dustup over Trump's travel ban executive order. But honestly, with his track record, did anyone really believe liar-nObama?
          With Senate Republicans' releasing their version of a bill to repeal and replace the "Affordable" Care Act on Thursday, liar-nObama once again took up the mantle of Lecturer in Chief by posting a 939-word message on Facebook slamming the GOP's plan. liar-nObama wrote, "Simply put, if there's a chance you might get sick, get old or start a family — this bill will do you harm." In typical leftist hyperbole he continued, "[It is] a massive transfer of wealth from middle-class and poor families to the richest people in America." That's rubbish, though liar-nObamaCare was just the opposite.
          After blasting the GOP bill for its "fundamental meanness," liar-nObama pivoted and hypocritically defended liar-nObamaCare as not a partisan issue, before characterizing Republicans as only interested in "notching a political win" not working "to make people's lives better."
          There is so much wrong with liar-nObama's comments that it's difficult to know where to begin. First, liar-nObama conveniently ignores the fact that the ACA is failing and that has nothing to do with Republicans. After all, he also ignored the fact that not a single Republican voted for it. liar-nObamaCare is his and the Democrats' disaster alone. It's quite simply despicable to suggest that the Republicans' motivation for repealing and replacing a ticking time-bomb disaster of a law is due to partisanship.
          Second, it's flat out false to imply that liar-nObamaCare made people's lives better. liar-nObama sold his socialist pipe dream to the American public on one lie after another. "It'll save you money." False. liar-nObamaCare has doubled and tripled the cost of health insurance for the vast majority of Americans. "You can keep your plan. You can keep your doctor." False and false. Insurance companies had to scrap old plans in order to comply with the law's increased coverage demands. Doctors in turn were forced to adjust which insurance they would and could accept, as they don't work for free.
          Finally, the original problem of increasing health care costs was only compounded by liar-nObama and the Democrats, as they simply took advantage of a real problem as an excuse to justify forcing greater government control onto the American people. liar-nObamaCare has not cut costs or liberated Americans from health concerns; it has done the exact opposite. And liar-nObama has the gall to blast Republicans for daring to actually deal with the problem of health care costs without robbing Americans of their Liberty. Shame on him.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act passed by Congress earlier this month streamlines the process to remove, demote, or suspend VA employees for poor performance or misconduct. In addition, it authorizes the VA secretary to recoup any bonuses awarded to employees who have acted improperly. “Veterans have fulfilled their duty to this nation and now, we must fulfill our duty to them,” Trump said. “So to every veteran who is here with us today, I just want to say two very simple words, thank you.”... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/23/trump-signs-va-reform-bill-following-through-on-campaign-promise.html

{defenddemocracy.org} ~ Late last week, the U.S. Senate passed a bill containing new sanctions against Iran. Entitled the “Countering Iran’s Destabilizing Activities Act of 2017,”... the proposed legislation includes measures requiring the U.S. to designate as a terrorist organization the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the chief agent of Tehran’s subversive regional agenda. While the bill must win approval in the House and be signed by the president before becoming public law, its language and 98-2 passage signal a renewed U.S. determination to counter Iran’s non-nuclear threats with non-nuclear sanctions. The Senate’s overwhelming bipartisan vote to enforce arms embargos, impede Iran’s ballistic missile development, and impose human rights sanctions is consistent with the liar-nObama administration’s principle that Iran ought to remain subject to new sanctions for misbehavior unrelated to its nuclear program...http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/senate-bill-addresses-flaws-in-iran-nuclear-deal/

This crime should serve as a potent reminder that there is no prospect of meaningful negotiations with a regime that shows such contempt for American life and that of its own citizens. While Americans mourn Warmbier, they should not forget that three other U.S. citizens are still being held hostage in North Korea, two of them imprisoned earlier this year. Instead of recognizing such behavior as a sign of unremitting hostility, one advocate of engagement suggested that if North Korea releases the remaining Americans, it “could set up an atmosphere for potentially serious talks.” Such views reflect the uncritical embrace of dialogue rather than pressure as means of achieving progress...http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/anthony-ruggiero-pyongyangs-murder-of-us-student-shows-negotiating-is-pointless/

“March Against Sharia”
by Peggy Noonan
{
peggynoonan.com} ~ What we are living through in America is not only a division but a great estrangement. It is between those who support Donald Trump and those who despise him, between left and right, between the two parties, and even to some degree between the bases of those parties and their leaders in Washington. It is between the religious and those who laugh at Your Make Believe Friend, between cultural progressives and those who wish not to have progressive ways imposed upon them. It is between the coasts and the center, between those in flyover country and those who decide what flyover will watch on television next season. It is between “I accept the court’s decision” and “Bake my cake.” We look down on each other, fear each other, increasingly hate each other.

Oh, to have a unifying figure, program or party.

But we don’t, nor is there any immediate prospect. So, as Ben Franklin said, we’ll have to hang together or we’ll surely hang separately. To hang together—to continue as a country—at the very least we have to lower the political temperature. It’s on all of us more than ever to assume good faith, put our views forward with respect, even charity, and refuse to incite.

We’ve been failing. Here is a reason the failure is so dangerous.

In the early 1990s Roger Ailes had a talk show on the America’s Talking network and invited me to talk about a concern I’d been writing about, which was old-fashioned even then: violence on TV and in the movies. Grim and graphic images, repeated depictions of murder and beatings, are bad for our kids and our culture, I argued. Depictions of violence unknowingly encourage it.

But look, Roger said, there’s comedy all over TV and I don’t see people running through the streets breaking into laughter. True, I said, but the problem is that, for a confluence of reasons, our country is increasingly populated by the not fully stable. They aren’t excited by wit, they’re excited by violence—especially unstable young men. They don’t have the built-in barriers and prohibitions that those more firmly planted in the world do. That’s what makes violent images dangerous and destructive. Art is art and censorship is an admission of defeat. Good judgment and a sense of responsibility are the answer.

That’s what we’re doing now, exciting the unstable—not only with images but with words, and on every platform. It’s all too hot and revved up. This week we had a tragedy. If we don’t cool things down, we’ll have more.

And was anyone surprised? Tuesday I talked with an old friend, a figure in journalism who’s a pretty cool character, about the political anger all around us. He spoke of “horrible polarization.” He said there’s “too much hate in D.C.” He mentioned “the beheading, the play in the park” and described them as “dog whistles to any nut who wants to take action.”

“Someone is going to get killed,” he said.

That was 20 hours before the shootings in Alexandria, Va.

The gunman did the crime, he is responsible, it’s fatuous to put the blame on anyone or anything else.

But we all operate within a climate and a culture. The media climate now, in both news and entertainment, is too often of a goading, insinuating resentment, a grinding, agitating antipathy. You don’t need another recitation of the events of just the past month or so. A comic posed with a gruesome bloody facsimile of President Trump’s head. New York’s rightly revered Shakespeare in the Park put on a “Julius Caesar” in which the assassinated leader is made to look like the president. A CNN host—amazingly, of a show on religion—sent out a tweet calling the president a “piece of s—” who is “a stain on the presidency.” An MSNBC anchor wondered, on the air, whether the president wishes to “provoke” a terrorist attack for political gain. Earlier Stephen Colbert, well known as a good man, a gentleman, said of the president, in a rant: “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c— holster.” Those are but five dots in a larger, darker pointillist painting. You can think of more.

Too many in the mainstream media—not all, but too many—don’t even bother to fake fairness and lack of bias anymore, which is bad: Even faked balance is better than none.

Yes, they have reasons. They find Mr. Trump to be a unique danger to the republic, an incipient fascist; they believe it is their patriotic duty to show opposition. They don’t like his policies. A friend suggested recently that they hate him also because he’s in their business, show business. Who is he to be president? He’s not more talented. And yet as soon as his presidency is over he’ll get another reality show.

And there’s something else. Here I want to note the words spoken by Kathy Griffin, the holder of the severed head. In a tearful news conference she said of the president, “He broke me.” She was roundly mocked for this. Oh, the big bad president’s supporters were mean to you after you held up his bloody effigy. But she was exactly right. He did break her. He robbed her of her sense of restraint and limits, of her judgment. He broke her, but not in the way she thinks, and he is breaking more than her.

We have been seeing a generation of media figures cratering under the historical pressure of Donald Trump. He really is powerful.

They’re losing their heads. Now would be a good time to regain them.

They have been making the whole political scene lower, grubbier. They are showing the young what otherwise estimable adults do under pressure, which is lose their equilibrium, their knowledge of themselves as public figures, as therefore examples—tone setters. They’re paid a lot of money and have famous faces and get the best seat, and the big thing they’re supposed to do in return is not be a slob. Not make it worse.

By indulging their and their audience’s rage, they spread the rage. They celebrate themselves as brave for this. They stood up to the man, they spoke truth to power. But what courage, really, does that take? Their audiences love it. Their base loves it, their demo loves it, their bosses love it. Their numbers go up. They get a better contract. This isn’t brave.

If these were only one-offs, they’d hardly be worth comment, but these things build on each other. Rage and sanctimony always spread like a virus, and become stronger with each iteration.

And it’s no good, no excuse, to say Trump did it first, he lowered the tone, it’s his fault. Your response to his low character is to lower your own character? He talks bad so you do? You let him destabilize you like this? You are making a testimony to his power.

So many of our media figures need at this point to be reminded: You belong to something. It’s called: us.

Do your part, take it down some notches, cool it. We have responsibilities to each other.

Community Leaders, Clergy and Elite Businessmen Busted in Massive Child Sex Ring – Hundreds Arrested!-Posted on Activist Post-By Matt Agorist-On June 23, 2017:

Los Angeles, CA — As bogus news pushing the divisive two-party paradigm about which puppet politician said something stupid this week fills the airwaves, very real news is taking place and conveniently getting glossed over. This very real news involves very real victims — who happen to be innocent children.

This week, a massive operation came to a head that was carried out across southern California which swept up 238 child predators and traffickers — including clergymen attempting to buy a 6-year-old boy.

Conducted by the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes against Children task force,  “Operation Broken Heart III”  targeted offenders wanted for the sexual exploitation of children, child prostitution, sex tourism and possessing and distributing child pornography, said Deputy Chief Matt Blake of the Los Angeles Police Department, as reported by the LA Times.

The mass arrests were not made up of reclusive pedophiles living in their mother’s basements either. In fact, much of the arrests involved high-profile figures throughout the community.

John Reynolds, acting special agent in charge for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations said that among those arrested were entertainers, community leaders, white-collar professionals and clergy members.

“The incidence of child sexual exploitation has reached staggering proportions,” he said at a news conference.

These are not your typical Internet dwellers looking to prey on children online with images and pornography. These people are willing to cross the globe to purchase children for sex. What this exposes is the very real, elite, and extremely horrific market for children.

In May, Michael Quinn, 33, traveled from Australia to Los Angeles to complete a deal to buy a 6-year-old boy for sex, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

As the Times reports, undercover agents met Quinn on a social media networking site, where he had communicated that he wanted to “meet up with a dad who shares his young one,” according to prosecutors.

“Quinn explained to the undercover agent he was hoping to meet ‘other pervs’ in the U.S. and ultimately agreed to pay a human trafficker $250 to provide him with a young boy with whom he could engage in illicit sex,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

Since its inception in 2014, Operation Broken Heart has increased resources to law enforcement agencies and task forces which have resulted in thousands of arrests. It is one of 61 programs nationwide funded through the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

Sadly, the funding for the prevention of child sex trafficking is but a drop in the bucket to the $51 billion spent annually fighting a futile and immoral drug war.

Perhaps, if the US cared more about saving children from exploitation and trafficking, and less about kidnapping, caging, and killing people over arbitrary substances they choose to put into their own bodies, this epidemic level of pedophilia could be curbed.

However, as the Free Thought Project has reported numerous times, many of these sickos hold positions of power within high levels of the government. They have an incentive to protect their operation and can do so using the many corrupt pedophiles within law enforcement as their minions.

In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of states — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.

In fact, as the new Netflix series, The Keepers set out to launch an investigation into a murder cold case it soon became much deeper because of the high-level pedophilia it revealed. The story exposed a concerted effort to conceal widespread rape and sexual abuse committed by Keough school chaplain and counselor Father Joseph Maskell, as well as other clergy, police, and a local gynecologist.

On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who’ve all noted that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all took part in the abuse.

Hopefully, as the government’s war on drugs continues to crumble, people will wake up to the fact that rescuing a child from a rapist is far more important than catching some dude smoking a plant. Hopefully.

51 Louisianans arrested on child exploitation charges!-Posted on WBRZ.com-By Associated Press-On June 18, 2017:

BATON ROUGE - Louisiana law enforcement officials say they arrested 51 people on child exploitation charges this spring as part of an annual nationwide crackdown.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry announced the results of Operation Broken Heart IV during a news conference Friday.

Landry says the charges range from possessing child pornography to solicitation of minors. He says one of the suspects, a New Orleans man, had more than 100,000 images of child pornography stored on a device.

Officials say there were more than 1,000 arrests made across the country as part of the operation, which was conducted in April and May. More than 150 Louisiana law enforcement agencies participated in the initiative.

The following recent article revealed that Federal prosecutors went on the offensive this month, denying allegations that they bowed to pressure from billionaire Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein and his high-priced lawyers at the expense of dozens of teenage girls he sexually abused.

BREAKING: Feds explain sweet deal for billionaire sex offender Epstein!-Posted PalmBeachPost.com-By Jane Musgrave, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer-On June 23, 2017:

WEST PALM BEACH - Federal prosecutors went on the offensive this month, denying allegations that they bowed to pressure from billionaire Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein and his high-priced lawyers at the expense of dozens of teenage girls he sexually abused.

In their first public comment since 2007 — when they negotiated a deal that allowed Epstein to escape federal charges — prosecutors filed hundreds of pages of documents in U.S. District Court, explaining what led to the now infamous non-prosecution agreement that has been decried as “a sweetheart deal.”

Contrary to claims by attorneys representing two of Epstein’s victims in a lawsuit against the federal government, Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Villafana said she and her superiors were trying to help the traumatized young women when they agreed to let Epstein plead guilty to state prostitution charges.

The now-64-year-old money manager, who spends most of his time on his estate in the Virgin Islands, served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in the Palm Beach County Stockade. He was allowed to leave each day to go to work.

Hoping to persuade U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra to throw out the lawsuit that accuses the government of violating the federal Crime Victims Rights Act, Villafana said she tried to keep Epstein’s victims informed about the investigation and the eventual plea deal. But, she said, negotiations were sensitive and neither Epstein, his victims nor their attorneys made it easy.

For instance, she said, most of the young women were extremely reluctant — or simply refused — to testify against Epstein, who had paid them to give him sexually-charged massages at his mansion.

One of the women who is now suing the government insisted Epstein never abused her, Villafana wrote in a sworn affidavit.

“I hope Jeffrey, nothing happens to Jeffrey because he’s an awesome man and it would really be a shame,” the woman, identified only as Jane Doe 2, told FBI agents in 2007.

While Villafana said she didn’t believe her, she also understood the young woman’s suffering. Further, she knew she couldn’t force her or Epstein’s more than two dozen other victims to testify against him.

Jane Doe 1, who is also suing the government, agreed to testify. But Villafana said one victim wouldn’t have been enough to convict Epstein.

» RELATED: No deal in Jeffrey Epstein victims’ lawsuit against federal prosecutors

Rather than let Epstein use his considerable influence to evade prosecution, she and top officials at the U.S. Justice Department crafted the plea deal.

In exchange for pleading guilty to charges of solicitation of prostitution and soliciting minors to engage in prostitution in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, Epstein was not charged with any federal counts. As part of the agreement, Epstein had to register as a sex offender and agree to settle civil lawsuits that his roughly 30 victims filed against him.

» RELATED: President Trump on witness list in Epstein case?

Getting Epstein to agree to pay restitution to his victims and register as a sex offender were key, Villafana wrote. Prosecutors wanted to assure his victims that they would be compensated and that “other minors throughout the country” would be protected, she wrote.

But shortly after Epstein signed the agreement on Sept. 24, 2007, he began fighting it, she said. He and his legal team, including former U.S. Solicitor General Kenneth Starr, whose investigation led to President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, contacted high-level justice department officials. They challenged the terms of the non-prosecution agreement.

Fearing it was falling apart, Villafana said her office and the FBI resumed the investigation and informed the victims of that by letter in January 2008.

newsEngin.19096061_Jeffrey-Epstein.jpg_web.jpg

In their lawsuit, the victims’ attorneys, Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell, say the letter is evidence of their claim that prosecutors lied to the victims. They also claim that prosecutors never told Epstein’s victims about the plea deal.

Villafana said she didn’t tell the young women about the terms of the agreement, fearing Epstein’s attorneys would use it to crush them if federal charges were filed and the case went to trial.

Child Sex Rings Reveal Unspeakable Acts of Power Elite!-Posted on Activist Post-By Nicholas West-On November 14, 2012:

One of the most difficult things to convey to people who are relatively new to information that appears in the so-called alternative media is just how diabolical the controlling elite really are.

People can seem to accept that the world is run by a bunch of ruthless bankers, or perhaps they realize that presidents and national leaders are puppets to corporate interests, or perhaps they even have come to grips with the fact that “The Elite” are willing to destroy nations and people to consolidate power and form a one-world government.  Poison the planet with depleted uranium? Yes. Poison the food supply with GMOs? Definitely.

But one topic that has been routinely shrugged off as manifestly impossible is that those at the very top of the pyramid, including well-known politicians and public figures, have engaged consistently — and on a widespread basis — in the organized sale, rape, torture and murder of children. Frankly, we had a hard time fully believing it ourselves until recently. But the evidence has become so overwhelming that we must have the courage to look into the very worst cesspit; one which better belongs in paintings of Hell’s torments, not on the evening news.

According to Missingkids.com, 800,000 children under the age of 18 go missing each year globally — 2,185 per day. Their hotline received an average of 580 calls per day to this point in the last quarter of 2012 — 3.5 million calls since the organization’s inception in 1984. It is clearly an epidemic of staggering proportions.

When Fritz Springmeier and David Icke began talking 20 years ago about organized pedophile rings and mind-controlled sex slaves (often with overtly Satanic themes) within the highest levels of society, most readers met them with serious doubt or outright dismissal. We would be very unwise to dismiss their research now.

The Jimmy Savile scandal has taken center stage in bringing these revelations to a wider audience, as it is embedded within Britain’s BBC corporate media itself where they were forced to lamely issue an apology that the original Newsnight investigation into numerous claims of sex acts with children was dropped, all the while insisting that “there was not enough evidence to say whether sexual abuse or harassment at the corporation was ‘endemic'”.

David Icke certainly has a different take on it. According to Icke, Savile “was the child-supplying fixer for the rich and famous in politics, entertainment and royalty” and can be linked to a massive child abuse scandal in North Wales. (Source)  Icke’s 1998 book The Biggest Secret details a seemingly unbelievable number of prominent U.S. and UK political leaders who centrally figure into these scandals. Icke details how Savile is indicative not of a single evil person using their position of power to destroy innocence, but is indicative of an entire lifestyle embraced within the top echelons of society.

Savile’s close connections to the royal family cannot be denied, and even skeptics have to wonder how people in the highest positions could not have at least known and covered up the details of what was taking place.

Savile himself would boast about his connections to the royals and it was publicly acknowledged that he was a regular visitor to Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace (where Princess Diana lived after her marriage ended with Prince Charles), and Highgrove (the country estate of Prince Charles).

Savile told Esquire: ‘The thing about me is I get things done and I work deep cover. I’ve known the Royal Family for a million years.’ (Source)

As Icke highlights, one of Savile’s own nephews, Guy Marsden, is now discussing what happened at Savile’s “paedophile parties” with many children coming from orphanages or children’s homes.

To those who still think Icke might be crazy to suggest something much larger, The Telegraph just released statements from the former policeman who exposed Savile. He says that Savile “engineered” his show specifically as a vehicle to gain access to children.

I believe he engineered his programmes within the BBC and Radio Luxembourg in order to gain access to children.

The classic examples are Top Of The Pops, Savile’s Travels, Jim’ll Fix It – all of them gave him access to young children. That’s why there were so many victims. (Source)

At least 300, and many more inquires.

This is not the only scandal that large news outlets like the BBC have failed to cover. Sian Griffiths, a local council official in North Wales, collected details about allegations made between 1991 and 2000. The stacks of documents she reveals in the video below is beyond shocking, but nothing more so than the evidence of a coverup which followed the mention of high-profile figures who attended child sex parties. (Source)

{…}

The Jerry Sandusky case in America has every indication of, again, not being one demented predatory individual, but a systemic acceptance of a severely twisted lifestyle. As vile as he was shown to be, the fact that he could conduct his activities so openly over at least a 15-year period forces one to question how many others might have been involved. Some have speculated that his sexual acts with children dated back to the 1970s. Penalties were imposed on Sandusky and Penn State, but it was his connection with Second Mile (whose motto is “Providing Children With Help and Hope”) that becomes even more disturbing. A child prostitute later came forward to give the following account which implicates another school and shows the abuse to be much more widespread:

In the email to Poly Prep, Bucceroni said he was ‘a child prostitute’ and was associated with a pedophile ring that included Sandusky, Foglietta, now-deceased Philadelphia businessman Ed Savitz and former Wharton School of Business professor Lawrence Scott Ward, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence for trafficking in child porn and smuggling photos and videos of himself having sex with a teenage Brazilian boy.

‘(Between) 1977-1980 I was a child prostitute associated with a tri-state (NYC-NJ-PA) pedophile ring. (During the) summer of 1979 I was brought to the State College area by Ed Savitz for the purpose of child prostitution with Jerry Sandusky at a Second Mile fundraiser,’ Bucceroni wrote in the email. ‘Due to time constraints, Sandusky became unavailable and I was introduced to Phil Foglietta by Ed Savitz & Jerry Sandusky. Foglietta was introduced to us as Coach Phil who coached youth football in NYC. Foglietta agreed to pay $200.00 for child sex and followed us back to a Philadelphia hotel, myself and another child prostitute then engaged coach Phil in child sex. (Source)

Here is a graphic showing only what was proved to have happened at Penn State.

Systemic indeed. Australia has now launched its own investigation into child sex allegations that comprise “churches, state care facilities, schools, charities, child services agencies and police.”

The prime minister’s announcement of a judicial inquiry follows allegations last week by a police officer of a cover-up by the Catholic church into child sexual abuse in the Hunter region, north of Sydney.

‘I can testify from my own experience that the church covers up, silences victims, hinders police investigations, alerts offenders, destroys evidence and moves priests to protect the good name of the church,’ he wrote in an open letter to the New South Wales state premier, Barry O’Farrell.

Fox, a veteran of decades of investigations into child sexual abuse, said he had ‘irrefutable’ evidence of a cover-up involving a number of diocese bishops. ‘It potentially goes even higher than that,’ he told ABC television.  (Source)

This is on par with what we already know about institutional child abuse that has taken place within the Orwellian-named “Child Protective Services.” A range of studies have shown that at least 28% of children put into state care wound up being abused, with numbers much higher in certain states. And in Arizona alone, 500 of 4,000 children were sexually abused while in the care of the state. (Source and more studies here)

But one group really shows the scope of child sex slavery, abuse, and every vile activity imaginable: DynCorp. DynCorp is responsible for recruiting, training and deploying civilian peacekeepers and police trainers to 11 countries, including Haiti, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, for the Department of State. (Source)

Whistleblowers, Ben Johnson and Kathryn Bolkovac, were both fired after attempting to stop DynCorp employees and supervisors engaging in sex acts with children. These children had been purposely kidnapped from other regions to serve as sex slaves. No one was formally prosecuted, even as more reports came out that DynCorp was part of a large network of child prostitution involving international aid workers.

More recently in Afghanistan it was revealed by a WikiLeaks cable that DynCorp threw “boy-play” parties for new Afghan police recruits. The exploits of DynCorp — funded by the U.S. taxpayer — is perhaps the supreme example of the predators stalking this planet. Here is Donald Rumsfeld stammering through an attempt to explain the continued governmental support for DynCorp:

An excellent two-part report “Children Under Attack,” about the systemic abuse and coverup, can be found here.

It seems that every rock overturned reveals worse and worse. The Jimmy Savile scandal has opened up a door into truly demonic realms. The overwhelming amount of testimony across the board paints a picture of widespread torture and rape of children that produces a cognitive dissonance in any normal human being.

The realization that there are individuals in suits, crowns, and uniforms who are literally blood-drinking psychopaths that would make notorious elites like Elizabeth Bathory and Vlad the Impaler blush, is almost too much for an innocent mind to comprehend. And, yet, it seems to be so vast in numbers that it would appear to be the norm rather than the exception of a just a few demented people — especially since the protection and cover-up for these groups is clearly vast as well.

We are programmed to fear the next Ted Bundy, or “lone nut” stalking our neighborhood, but we would do better to scrutinize more closely those to whom we pay our taxes and falsely look up to as protectors — they are stalking the planet … and they are doing it in packs. These are “people” who have no problem lying their country into war, bombing the innocent on a routine basis, and tanking economies on purpose. It is a matter of policy to starve entire populations into submission without a second thought. And apparently those are the least of their crimes.

However, before we can council our children, as adults we need to grow up ourselves. It is not a type of awakening that should produce fear and paranoia, but rather an admission that we are much better, and more capable of directing the course of our lives and communities than those who have been officially charged with the task. We also must admit to ourselves that the strangers to whom we have acquiesced our power are being revealed as stranger than we ever could have imagined.

Corporate Media Just Exposed CIA Using Prostitutes To Drug Victims With LSD For Mind Control Studies!-Posted on Activist Post-By Claire Bernish-On June 12, 2017:

Your government will, indeed, perform experiments on you if it so chooses, and while some are undertaken with Nazi-esque malevolence — like the atrocities committed in the Tuskegee Study, a 40-year operation infecting innocent Black men with syphilis — others, like Midnight Climax, out the State’s utterly twisted flirtation with mind control.

Part of the notorious MKULTRA program, Midnight Climax — every bit as lascivious as one would expect from an agency founded in duplicity — might be one of the CIA’s most revealing experiments in thought control through substances, as well as its lesser-known entrée into the business of drugs and prostitution.

And now the corporate, mainstream media has finally decided to address the abhorrent crimes committed under the green light by nefarious CIA Director Allen Dulles — who signed off on MKULTRA and, thus, its iterations, on April 13, 1953.

One part in a series on the History Channel, America’s War on Drugs, reveals in documents and interviews how the CIA paid prostitutes to entice unwitting, working-class johns with illicit sex in order to dose them unknowingly with pure LSD — acid, lysergic acid diethylamide, one of the psychedelics exploding into America’s drug scene in the 1960s — for the project known as Midnight Climax.

Amid fears The Russians might perfect mind control before the United States government could manage to do so, the CIA turned unapologetically to experiments with LSD, leaving victims none the wiser — setting up fake brothels in San Francisco and, later, Marin County, where hired prostitutes would bring the agency’s prey: the unremarkable men of the lower and working classes who would be unlikely to retaliate if anything went awry.

“The CIA was scared stiff the KGB was going to get all this LSD and come over and start dosing people,” Richard Stratton, a former hippie pot kingpin ultimately caught and imprisoned, explains of Midnight Climax for a preview of the History Channel show. “So, we bought every drop of LSD in existence at that point.

“They gave it to George White, and let George White start dosing people.”

{…}

George Hunter White, a federal narcotics agent and covert captain with the CIA precursor agency, Office of Strategic Services, sought to develop or discover a substance with potential to control the minds of prisoners-of-war — a reportedly failed attempt to best the KGB — so they would reveal privy and classified information upon interrogation.

“American chemist Sidney Gottlieb was the brains behind White’s brawn,” Troy Hooper wrote for SF Weekly in 2012. “It was the height of McCarthyism in the early ’50s, and government intelligence leaders, claiming fear of communist regimes, were using hallucinogens to induce confessions from prisoners of war held in Korea, and brainwash spies into changing allegiances. What better way to examine the effects of LSD than to dose unsuspecting citizens in New York City and San Francisco?”

Stocked with booze and attempting to mimic a “French whorehouse,” rooms in the agency’s bogus brothels — replete with images of women in bondage and prints by artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec — also came complete with two-way mirrors for operatives to kick back with martinis, watch the drug-fogged sexual activity, and scribble notes on what they observed.

“It was supposed to look rich, but it was furnished like crap,” a narcotics agent and frequent visitor to one of the elaborate brothels told John Marks, who authored, The Search for the ‘Manchurian Candidate:’ The CIA and Mind Control.

“An unsuspecting john would think he had bought a night of pleasure,” Marks penned, but would “go back to a strange apartment, and wind up zonked.”

Employing various code words and the sterile terminology to be expected of the CIA, agents recorded the encounters diligently — and although the bulk of those documents were destroyed in a purge of information on MKULTRA and Midnight Climax, seven boxes escaped the agency’s attention, surviving to provide insight into both those programs and the psychology of the agency.

One example, quoted by LewRockwell.com, states plainly,

Certain individuals [the prostitutes] would covertly administer this material [the drugs] to other people [the johns] in accordance with [White’s] instructions.

Knowing the prostitutes faced inherent risks in the operation and that the program could be derailed easily — particularly as its illegal nature might raise eyebrows around the agency and elsewhere — the CIA’s hired sex workers were not required to keep receipts or otherwise account for spent funds.

As such untenable toeing of the lines tends to do, Midnight Climax quickly devolved into an authoritarian operation, devoid of medical screening and care for its forced test subjects, and ultimately expanding to multiple brothels — and myriad drugs.

In fact, one of the first brothels set up by the CIA in New York City saw the program’s first tragedy — U.S. biological warfare specialist Frank Olson either leapt or was pushed from a tenth-story window in 1953.

Sans sufficient scientific controls and medical pre-screening, a 1976 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities asserted,

Paradoxically, greater care seemed to have been taken for the safety of foreign nations against whom LSD was used abroad. In several cases [overseas] medical examinations were performed prior to the use of LSD. The [domestic] program … demonstrates a failure of the CIA’s leadership to pay adequate attention to the rights of individuals and to provide effective guidance to CIA employees. Though it was known that the testing was dangerous, the lives of subjects were placed in jeopardy and their rights were ignored during the 10 years of testing that followed Dr. Olson’s death.

Indeed, Midnight Climax failed — and miserably, shamefully so.

No employable tactics in LSD were discovered and no efficacious counter-intelligence operations or methods were ever derived — but the program, and its parent MKULTRA certainly succeeded in ruining the lives of many of the program’s unfortunate victims.

SF Weekly reported,

Testing of unwitting individuals was suspended in 1964 [after the discovery and outrage over the program by the CIA’s Inspector General the previous year], at least officially. Still, the CIA safe houses in San Francisco and New York City continued to operate for a year and a half longer. Scrutiny of the program intensified at CIA headquarters in Virginia, and subsequently the Bay Area safe houses shut down in 1965. New York City’s operation stopped in 1966. Intelligence officers conceded that the drug-testing exposed the agency to a serious ‘moral problem.’

Considering the wholly egregious manifestation of Midnight Climax — its mendacious premise, disgustingly manipulative facets, and the eagerness with which depraved operatives carried out their tasks — it’s a wonder the CIA managed to concede it had dismissed scruples to carry out these human experiments.

It must be noted that psychedelics, in themselves, are not necessarily harmful substances — it was the surreptitious slipping of LSD to victims without their knowledge and without medical screening or care which led to deleterious effects for an untold number of people which caused direct harm by the CIA.

Programs like MKULTRA might have officially ended decades ago, but given the current climate of heightened xenophobia, Red Scare-anoia, and ruthless and unforgiving domestic surveillance, it would be imprudent — if not foolhardy — to grant the U.S. government a clean slate of trust.

To wit — and to what should be the consternation of the American public and a remarkably inarguable cause for citizen vigilance — White, who died in 1975, later recalled of the odious attempts at mind control,

I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the All-Highest?

Preach democracy? Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it authorize the Outlaw Congress to spend the people’s purse or spill the blood of our soldiers to spread a toxic form of government called democracy.

It also revealed that Alfred McCoy documented the CIA and US government complicity in drug trafficking at the highest official levels, which allegedly continues today in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, South and Central America, facilitating the global supply of illicit drugs, along with revealing that Peter Dale Scott also explained that “since at least 1950 there has been a global CIA-drug connection operating more or less continuously” to this day and that the global drug connection is not just a lateral connection between CIA field operatives and their drug-trafficking contacts, but allegedly “It is more significantly a global financial complex of hot money uniting prominent business, financial and government, as well as underworld figures,” a sort of “indirect empire (operating alongside) existing government.”

Additionally, it revealed that using Marxist-Leninist strategies, the Russian, Chinese, and U.S. ruling elites have sought to frighten Americans and other populations with the specter of ruthless mass terror by allegedly creating enemies and blaming them for everything including terrorist acts, along with revealing that they have used them to manipulate Americans into supporting government hunts for “traitors,” “terrorists,” and these never ending “wars of national liberation” because their aim allegedly is to manipulate whole populations into supporting “wars of national liberation” and achieving not only the sovietization of “liberated” underdeveloped countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, but also the full altruization and sovietization of the United States and other Western nations.  And, protecting the dirty, filthy pedophiles who populate regions in Afghanistan: Yes, our troops were ordered to ignore Afghan pedophiles.  If True-What’s wrong with this picture?-You Decide:

{rickwells.us} ~ It’s almost humorous to hear the pro-illegal alien agitators talk about the problems created for Americans whose identity is stolen by foreigners as if it’s a non-crime, something that nobody should be concerned with... For the person who has go dance through hoops and fill out stacks of forms, write letters and spend their time, it’s a very big deal. It’s fraud, a felony that Americans would likely serve prison time for committing. If an illegal does it, it’s a necessity that the cruel American system forced upon them. They have to feed their families so “esta bien.” The transnational squatter in the video has been here for twenty years and still speaks no English. She supposedly held a news conference, in which there were as many cameras as supporters to pitch her pathetic, feel sorry for her case to the public. Through the narrator she describes the enforcement of our laws as an attack not only on her, but on the entire immigrant community. It’s just like enforcing rules against armed robbery are an assault on the bank-robbing community or child-molestation laws are an affront to the pedophile community. It’s a good thing; they’re not a community, they’re criminals...http://rickwells.us/steal-americans-identity-evil-trump-wants-deport/

{citizen-action.com} ~ According to the latest report on Thursday, John Podesta, liar-Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, is expected to testify before the Congress regarding his role in Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential elections... The report regarding Podesta’s testimony comes as the House Intelligence Committee continues to investigate the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with the Russian government in order to influence the elections. Podesta is known to be central figure in the 2016 elections, not because of his performance as liar-Clinton’s campaign manager, but because of his leaked emails that were handed over to WikiLeaks. The leaked emails, which amounted to thousands, were used to excoriate the candidate and are pointed at, as the main reason behind liar-Clinton’s downfall...Also his involvement with Russia. http://www.citizen-action.com/podesta-oath-will-reveal/article5479

 Illinois' Fiscal Dumpster Fire Is a Lesson

By Allyne Caan:  If you recently bought a lottery ticket in Illinois, the odds are stacked against you — way against you. The Land of Lincoln has gotten itself into such a financial pickle that it may not even be able to pay out lotto winnings, meaning the chance of striking it big would be, literally, zero.
          Years of fiscal mismanagement have finally caught up with Illinois, and the state is now facing $130 billion in unfunded public pension liabilities and nearly $15 billion more in debt. And because of certain court-ordered payments the state is required to make, the Illinois comptroller recently sounded the alarm that mandated bills will equal 100% of the state's monthly revenue. In case the obvious needs emphasis, this is a problem.
          It's so bad even Republican Governor Bruce Rauner didn't mince words. "We're like a banana republic," he said recently. "We can't manage our money."
          The crisis should hardly be a surprise. As George Will noted last year, despite the state constitution's requirement of a balanced budget, Illinois hasn't had such a budget in 25 years.
          Additionally, as the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) notes, pension reform has been staring state lawmakers in the face for 20 years. But objects at rest tend to remain at rest, and nothing brings out the inertia in government-union-backed elected officials like suggestions of public pension reform. Hence, the state's staggering pension debt today.
          Gov. Rauner campaigned on lowering the state's income tax. Butting heads with the Democrat-controlled legislature, however, has led to nearly three years of budget gridlock. Illinois has not had a full-state budget since Rauner's election in 2014, instead passing stop-gap measures — just like Big Brother at the federal level.
          As Investor's Business Daily notes, "Not surprisingly, the Democrats would like higher taxes to fill the budget holes. ... At the heart of it all is the so-called Blue State model of governance of the Democratic Party. It views government as an ever-expanding and always-available ATM to meet all needs, social and otherwise, with a ready supply of taxpayer cash."
          Yet as Margaret Thatcher noted with her typical wit, governments that apply the socialist approach of viewing taxpayers' money as government's money "traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them."
          Unfortunately, it looks like Illinois hasn't fully learned this lesson. Instead of continuing to hold fast to the principles he's pledged allegiance to for three years, just yesterday, Rauner caved, offering to hike the state income tax by 32%, expand the sales tax, and add a new tax on cable and satellite TV.
          The Wall Street Journal pulled no punches in a scathing editorial, calling Rauner's move a "capitulation" and "a political defeat by any definition."
          Even worse, as the Journal notes, Rauner's offer doesn't include critical fiscal reforms and doesn't fix the pension crisis.
          What will the state get for the capitulation? According to IPI, not much. Even with the tax hike, the state will likely be back in deficit by 2020. The Journal echoes this gloom, noting that while Rauner "may come out the political loser ... the citizens of Illinois will suffer the most." For that, it must be noted the real blame lies with the Chicago Democrats who really run the state. Rauner simply found the Chicago Machine to be too powerful.
          While some are raising talks of a federal bailout, IPI's Ted Dabrowski rightly warns this is a terrible idea: "A federal intervention on that scale would permanently damage healthy competition among states for people, jobs and ideas."
          Indeed, if lawmakers can run a state into the ground and then go to Uncle Sam for help, quickly lining up behind Illinois would be states like New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. (You'll notice they're all Democrat states.) Then there's Puerto Rico, the Democrat-heavy island that aims to become the 51st state in hopes of receiving such a bailout. But make no mistake, taxpayers in "flyover country" have little interest in rescuing these states from their own stupidity.
          That's why Illinois' lesson should be a lesson for all states. Decades of recklessly overspending taxpayer dollars and overpromising cushy pension benefits for government workers are bound to catch up with you. That's one set of Mega Millions numbers you can count on.

 Leftmedia Use 'Children' to Push Anti-Gun Agenda 
JvqNdENCQVwQZ7AeCRl-1OXr5p2FIRT0aszuPnokbvaMAnIHpY-4jaOG0RRau8HnH50318o6aHgpbjrl60DM9SCFHKO1Vx0Bee24WHNz3e7gaex6PWjRJkEsDw3KTQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
The reason that famed axiom of "there are lies, damned lies and statistics" rings true is because of how often statistics are employed as a means of convincing others to believe assertions that simply aren't true. A favorite leftist tactic is to trot out statistics linked to children. If they can tie any political issue to its impact upon kids, the most innocent among us, then they can claim the high ground and demand that conservatives acquiesce to their political demands or be labeled as uncaring and anti-children.
          On Monday, CNN released a story with the following provocative headline: "Guns kill almost 1,300 US children annually, study finds." The Washington Post took it to the next level with the editorial headline, "Children are dying because of America's lax gun policies." Both articles open by relaying emotional stories about young children being accidentally shot. The Post's editorial is nothing but a hit piece against guns and the National Rifle Association, offering almost no actual data. CNN at least offers some of the study's statics but uses them in what can best be described as a crafty game of semantics dodge ball.
          First, CNN and the Washington Post intentionally broaden the application of the term "children." As previously mentioned, the articles open with tales of gun accidents involving young children, and the clear implication is that the number of children killed by guns mentioned in the headlines must be young. The trouble is that both articles' opening anecdotes are outliers that don't accurately reflect the study. Of those 1,300 children killed by guns, less than 4% were by accident or under the age of 13. According to the study, the number of teenagers killed, ages 13 to 17, was 12 times higher than those 12 and under.
          Second, the stories falsely perpetuate the notion that the majority of children killed was due to accidents related to the presence of guns and lax gun laws. Of the 1,300 children and teenagers killed by firearms, however, 53% were classified as homicides (largely a gang problem), 38% were suicides and 3% were due to the action of law enforcement intervention. In other words, very few children, either young or teenage, are killed by gun accidents. The vast majority of gun deaths of young children and teenagers are due to intentional criminal acts. Ignoring these facts, the Post suggests that more laws are needed to prevent children from gaining access to guns in the home.
          Finally, while 1,300 children killed annually by guns is unquestionably a tragedy and an outrage, nearly a million children are aborted every year, and yet leftists defend that slaughter as a "right."  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts on “the Democrats growing increasingly desperate, delirious, delusional... The Dems failed to buy a victory in Georgia’s special election and now they’re turning on their own. This is a watershed moment. For the first time the Dems are not attacking President Trump, no, they’re attacking Nancy Pulosi.” Dobbs says, “She faces growing backlash from members of her party, but the House Minority Leader is defiant. She’s bragging about her leadership today, listen in.” Pulosi gives an oral resume presentation in response to a question as to whether she should remain in her position, describing herself as a “master legislator” among other stomach turning comments. Pulosi’s remark that she’s “worth the trouble” isn’t overlooked by Dobbs who agrees. “Well, certainly for the Republicans.” He then gives his own critique of her self-assessment and her track record in governance. He points out that Republicans have gained more than 60 seats during her tenure... http://rickwells.us/dobbs-pelosi-dems-nasty-better-anyone-not-enough/

A proposed mega-mosque on a 14-acre plot in a protected zone has sparked heated debate. Clearly the proposed facility is not appropriate in the neighborhood of ­single-family homes, which lies within an “80,000-acre swath created in 1998 to preserve Prince William’s remaining rural areas from suburbanization” – but not islamization? The Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) mega mosque proposes to erect a four story building with 22,400 square feet on a 14 acre plot. In this rural section of Prince William County, a bedroom community for Washington, DC, most lots that size accommodate one single-family home... http://pamelageller.com/2017/06/price-willima-mega-mosque.html/

He’s upset and has every right to be, over the leaking of classified information that he promised those testifying would remain confidential, as classified information is intended to remain. The interview starts off with the inopportune words of one who puts a gotcha story above all else, including national security or what’s right or wrong, “What did you find out?,” asked of a Congressman who was hearing classified testimony. What she didn’t know at the time but was about to learn is that she had just firmly planted both of her muck-encrusted feet into her mouth and it was going to be a while before she was able to work them free. Gowdy said, with the anger discernible in his voice, “About 8 hours ago Adam Schiff (D-CA) and I looked Dan Coats [DNI] in the eyes and we assured him that there would be no selective leaking of his testimony to us. And I’ll be damned if eight hours later, there aren’t three different leaks with what he told us...http://rickwells.us/gowdy-furious-cnn-aired-classified-leaks-promised-happen/

State Dept. Is Investigating liar-Clinton’s
Emails & Recklessness W/ U.S. Secrets

{
lidblog.com} ~ Fox News, is reporting that the State Department has opened a formal inquiry into former Secretary of State and two-time presidential loser liar-Hillary Clinton’s emails, along with her possible mishandling of classified information.
 
Don’t get too excited, this investigation will not lead to the liar-Hillary “perp walk” many of us dream of seeing, but is important for protecting U.S. secrets.  Believe it or not Ms. liar-Clinton and her staffers still have security clearances and access to America’s most classified information. Those clearances can be revoked as a result of this inquiry
The department’s investigation aims to determine whether liar-Clinton and her closest aides violated government protocols by using her private server to receive, hold and transmit classified and top-secret government documents. The department declined to say when its inquiry began, but it follows the conclusion of the FBI’s probe into the matter, which did not result in any actions being taken against liar-Clinton or any of her aides.
Nick Merrill, Ms liar-Clinton’s spokesman, told Fox News that this investigation into liar-Clinton’s emails and mishandling of classified information is a waste, “Nothing’s been more thoroughly dissected. It’s over. Case closed. Literally.”
 
One could understand Merrill’s position, after all the investigation into liar-Hillary’s reckless handling of America’s secrets does seem a bit like Lucy pulling the football from Charlie Brown, but even James Comey did not exonerate liar-Hillary, he said he didn’t think a prosecutor like the biased Loretta Lynch would take it to trial. And despite the fact that this investigation won’t lead to the corrupt Ms. liar-Clinton wearing an orange jump suit, it is important that people who are reckless with America’s secrets lose their access to those secrets.
 
Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,  Chuck Grassley (R-IA) confirmed the Fox News report. Since March Grassley’s committee is also investigating liar-Clinton on the email question. And a few weeks ago added a second investigation “into liar-Hillary Clinton over whether the former secretary of state meddled in a Bangladeshi corruption probe to help a liar-Clinton Foundation donor.”
‘This new evidence of pay-to-play and special treatment reinforces the appearance that donations to the liar-Clinton Foundation resulted in favorable treatment by Secretary liar-Clinton’s State Department,’ Grassley said.
The pay-for-play investigation hasn’t really been played out at least publicly. But with these investigations at least liar-Hillary and her staff will be kept away from our secrets. And who knows if the Grassley investigation finds some liar-Clinton Foundation pay for play, maybe we will get that perp walk we think the corrupt Ms. liar-Clinton deserves.

This time around, Washington, DC HealthCare legislation is for the Republican Party to repeal and replace ObamaCare as promised in previous elections.  Enact a new family based HealthCare policy.

President Trump should insist GOP leaders to especially allow Capitol Hill Conservative Republicans, to have political input on a new HealthCare plan.  This HealthCare presentation is the equivalent of a national ‘Republican Primary’ election.

A national TV ‘PRIMETIME’ debate with Sen. Ted Cruz’s HealthCare plan v. the Senate and House versions of our Moderate Capito Hill GOP leaders should be debated.  Americans and specifically Conservative Republicans deserve to be allowed to see these plans.

Moderate Capitol Hill Republican Party leaders should not refuse Sen. Ted Cruz’s ‘Repeal and Replace’ of ObamaCare?  Why should or would a few leaders’ members of the Capitol Hill GOP disallow Conservative GOP leaders to participate in legislation of ‘Repeal and Replace’ of ObamaCare as promised to ‘We the People’?

President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan should offer a national TV ‘debate’ in ‘PRIMETIME’.  Allow Americans, and especially Conservative Republicans, to have input.  This new legislation may represent a ‘shining star’ for the GOP for generations to come.

A few Capitol Hill GOP Moderate leaders should not be making all decisions, behind closed doors, as to who may participate, and what will be allowed to vote on the floor of the Senate and House.

  Video Anti-Trump “Resistance” Aims To Make America “Ungovernable”: “This is war”

By Pamela Geller - on June 22, 2017

How the Left Destroys the Nation 150 Facebook Twitter Google+ We know this but they are saying it, they are telling us with impunity. They want a civil war or surrender. In Their Own Words: Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Leaders Say They Want To Make America ‘Ungovernable’ By Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, June 22, 2017: Behind the mass protests, choreographed chants and acts of violence, leaders of anti-Trump “resistance” efforts are communicating the same simple but dark message: they want to make America “ungovernable” for the president of the United States. These protesters say they will do whatever it takes to keep Trump from enacting his agenda, and many of them have shown a willingness to destroy public property, assault law enforcement officers and inflict violence upon their fellow citizens. In the days and weeks leading up to the inauguration, DisruptJ20 publicly advertised an invitation to “Join us in refusing to normalize Trump’s presidency, smashing his facade of legitimacy.” Protestors throw rocks at police during a protest near the inauguration of President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, U.S., January 20, 2017. REUTERS/Bryan Woolston Protestors throw rocks at police during a protest near the inauguration of President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, U.S., January 20, 2017. REUTERS/Bryan Woolston DisruptJ20 advocates using “direct action” tactics, which the group describes as taking “collective action to make social change without giving power over to an authority or middle person.” “We don’t ask permission or put our faith in electoral politics, instead, we use our bodies to stop the smooth operation of the system we oppose,” the group’s website states, citing Black Lives Matter’s efforts to shut down highways as an example of the kind of disruption they have in mind. The group is open about its aim to become “an ungovernable force this winter.” A website called Ungovernable 2017 helped coordinate DisruptJ20’s DC efforts with anti-Trump protests around the country. Some groups endorsed a pledge to never give Trump the “chance to govern.” “As we resist, we will create new governing institutions, new economic relationships, and new ways of being human,” the pledge reads. The pledge was endorsed by a number of left-wing figures including: the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, a black nationalist organization with chapters in eight cities across the country; activist and 2008 Green Party vice presidential nominee Rosa Clemente; and Lamis Deek, lawyer and a New York board member for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Mass demonstrations against Trump have continued around the country in the weeks since his inauguration. ver a week ago featured an activist calling for murder over a megaphone. The activist, reportedly associated with the Black Lives Matter movement, said that protesters “need to start killing people” and “start killing the White House.” Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor at pro-Trump website Breitbart, was forced to cancel a speech at UC Berkeley last week after mobs of protesters started fires, assaulted bystanders and pepper sprayed suspected Trump supporters as part of an organized effort to shut down the speech. https://twitter.com/shane_bauer/status/826980737446391808 Those protests were spear-headed by a national group calling themselves Refuse Fascism. The group is open about its apparent alliance with Princeton professor and DNC platform committee member Cornel West, who is listed as one of Refuse Fascism’s “initiators.” A spokesperson for West did not return a request for comment. Video posted to Refuse Fascism’s Facebook page last week features one of the group’s leaders whipping a throng of protesters into a frenzy with calls of revolution. “We need to make this country ungovernable,” she declares. “We need to do what the German people should have done when Hitler was elected.” Far-left activist group Occupy Oakland also took part in last week’s Berkeley riots. The group, a local spinoff from the 2011 Occupy Wall Street protests, declared victory after Milo’s speech was cancelled due to their mob-like tactics. The group circulated a picture on Twitter of two of its banners from the protest reading, “Become ungovernable” and “This is war.” “We won this night. We will control the streets. We will liberate the land. We will fight fascists. We will dismantle the state,” Occupy Oakland captioned the photo. “This is war.”

DHS Agent: “Staggering” Pedophilia Crisis Uncovered With Mass Arrests of Entertainers, Community Leaders, Professionals and Clergy

As bogus news pushing the divisive two-party paradigm about which puppet politician said something stupid this week fills the airwaves, very real news is taking place and conveniently getting glossed over. This very real news involves very real victims — who happen to be innocent children.

This week, a massive operation came to a head that was carried out across southern California which swept up 238 child predators and traffickers — including clergymen attempting to buy a 6-year-old boy.

Conducted by the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes against Children task force, “Operation Broken Heart III” targeted offenders wanted for the sexual exploitation of children, child prostitution, sex tourism and possessing and distributing child pornography, said Deputy Chief Matt Blake of the Los Angeles Police Department, as reported by the LA Times.

The mass arrests were not made up of reclusive pedophiles living in their mother’s basements either. In fact, much of the arrests involved high-profile figures throughout the community.

John Reynolds, acting special agent in charge for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations said that among those arrested were entertainers, community leaders, white-collar professionals and clergy members.

“The incidence of child sexual exploitation has reached staggering proportions,” he said at a news conference.

These are not your typical Internet dwellers looking to prey on children online with images and pornography. These people are willing to cross the globe to purchase children for sex. What this exposes is the very real, elite, and extremely horrific market for children.

In May, Michael Quinn, 33, traveled from Australia to Los Angeles to complete a deal to buy a 6-year-old boy for sex, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

As the Times reports, undercover agents met Quinn on a social media networking site, where he had communicated that he wanted to “meet up with a dad who shares his young one,” according to prosecutors.

“Quinn explained to the undercover agent he was hoping to meet ‘other pervs’ in the U.S. and ultimately agreed to pay a human trafficker $250 to provide him with a young boy with whom he could engage in illicit sex,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

Since its inception in 2014, Operation Broken Heart has increased resources to law enforcement agencies and task forces which have resulted in thousands of arrests. It is one of 61 programs nationwide funded through the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

Sadly, the funding for the prevention of child sex trafficking is but a drop in the bucket to the $51 billion spent annually fighting a [largely unconstitutional] drug war. . .

However, as the Free Thought Project has reported numerous times, many of these sickos hold positions of power within high levels of the government. They have an incentive to protect their operation and can do so using the many corrupt pedophiles within law enforcement as their minions.

In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of states — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.

In fact, as the new Netflix series, The Keepers set out to launch an investigation into a murder cold case it soon became much deeper because of the high-level pedophilia it revealed. The story exposed a concerted effort to conceal widespread rape and sexual abuse committed by Keough school chaplain and counselor Father Joseph Maskell, as well as other clergy, police, and a local gynecologist.

On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who’ve all noted that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all took part in the abuse.

Hopefully, as the government’s war on drugs continues to crumble, people will wake up to the fact that rescuing a child from a rapist is far more important than catching some dude smoking a plant. Hopefully. (Read more articles from the author of “Staggering Pedophilia Crisis Uncovered,” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/06/dhs-agent-staggering-pedophilia-crisis-uncovered-mass-ar

This School Board Leader Tried to Rig a Public Forum in Favor of Transgender Advocates. That’s Unconstitutional.


Stacking the deck at the casino makes for bad feelings among friends.

Things get more serious when you’re a government official stacking the deck at public forums with speakers in favor of your personal political views. That not only makes for bad public policy—it violates the First Amendment.

The Prince William County Virginia School Board convened last Wednesday to vote on a proposed rule that would undermine the principle of student privacy between the sexes. It would have laid the groundwork for opening up sex-specific locker rooms, showers, and other private facilities to members of the opposite sex.

Many parents have legitimate convictions that maleness and femaleness are essential biological, anatomical attributes, and they would like to openly defend the policy of maintaining privacy between the sexes, despite the claims of gender identity advocates.

Nonetheless, before the meeting, Ryan Sawyers, school board chairman, sent a text to the clerk telling her to frontload a list of favored speakers to comment before those who had already signed up.

This violated local school board rules, which say the public is to speak in the order that each citizen contacts the clerk.

This is particularly significant because at Prince William County Public School board meetings, only 10 to 15 people get to speak before the vote, since initial public comment is limited to 30 minutes. Everybody else has to wait until after the vote to make their views known.

But dishing out political leftovers to one’s opponents and frontloading the initial discussion with allies goes beyond violating local school board policy. It’s flatly unconstitutional.

School board meetings must protect viewpoint neutrality to satisfy First Amendment principles of free speech. If a school board chooses to open a forum for public comment, the process of determining who speaks cannot be determined by the viewpoint of the speaker.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit agrees.

In Child Evangelism Fellowship of MD, Inc. v. Montgomery County Public Schools, the majority opinion notes that “‘the state may be justified in reserving [its forum] for certain groups or for the discussion of certain topics,’ subject only to the limitation that its actions must be viewpoint-neutral and reasonable.”

And just last week, the Supreme Court reiterated in Matal v. Tam that government officials cannot “regulate speech in ways that favor some viewpoints or ideas at the expense of others.”

The traditional method of letting people speak in the order they sign up with the clerk is an orderly way to achieve these objectives. But giving the chairman the power to decide who speaks before the vote does not satisfy these criteria.

If the chairman is not bound by a limiting principle, then he has unbridled discretion to determine who can use the coveted 30 minutes of speech. It will be difficult, over time, for him not to hand-pick allies, particularly since he is a Democratic candidate for Congress.

Indeed, the first speaker on the chairman’s list, Danica Roem, is also a political player, a local Democrat recently nominated to run against incumbent Republican Bob Marshall in a Virginia House of Delegates race.

To be clear, after the chairman’s text messages were made public and Alliance Defending Freedom sent a letter to Prince William County Public Schools, the chairman did not stick to his original plan on Wednesday night.

But it remains unclear whether the final speaking order came from a new alternative list he created, or whether he reverted back to school board policy and used the original list of speakers, based on the order that local citizens signed up to speak.

That is precisely the problem. In the American system of ordered liberty, government officials don’t have the power to make that choice. They cannot dish out fast passes for the view they like while relegating opposing views to second-class status.

Rather, if officials choose to set up times for public comment, they must set up an orderly process that respects the free speech of all participants.

All voices should equally receive free speech protection, because our Constitution recognizes that when the government plays favorites, everyone’s freedom flounders.

Despicable Nebraska Democrat Says He’s ‘F**King Glad’ Scalise Got Shot

A Nebraska Democratic Party (NDP) operative has been fired from his position on the Technology Committee of the of the NDP after recorded audio appeared in which he says he was “f***ing glad” that Congressman Steve Scalise, R-La., was shot and that he wishes Scalise “was f***ing dead.”

Phil Montag, the state party’s technology committee co-chairman, was recorded saying “I’m glad he got shot” and “I wish he was f***ing dead” during a private meeting with NDP Black Caucus Chair Chelsey Gentry-Tipton that was recorded.

Rep. Scalise was shot during a targeted attack on GOP members of Congress in Alexandria, Va., in mid-June by radical leftist James T. Hodgkinson, who wanted to kill Republicans. Gentry-Tipton has come under fire herself after she made comments on Facebook that she thought it was “funny” that Republicans were “crying” after Scalise and four others were injured.

Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=58&v=cGlcRQsnYdg

Here is a transcript of the discussion, provided by Leavenworth St., a conservative blog in Nebraska:

Male: “Right now, so what is it that you want to do?”
Phil Montag: “Let me tell you, that motherf***er, the one that was shot, the scafie guy…I mean that guy, what’s was his name scafie?”
Female: “Scalise”
Male: “I really don’t want you to deflect right now.”
Montag: “No, this motherf***er, like his whole job is to like get people , convince Republicans to f***in’ kick people off f***in’ healthcare”
Female: “We know all of this.”
Montag: “I hate this motherf***er”
Female: “We know this”
Montage: “I’m f***in’ glad he got shot!”
Male: “Phil! Phil!”
Montag: “I’m glad he got shot!”
Male: “Dude!”
Montage: “I’m not going to f***in’ say that in public.”
Female: “You don’t have to say that in public.”
Male: “Then what are you saying it to us for?”
Female: “Say something, say something.”
Male: “What are you telling us for?”
Montag: “I wish he was ***in’ dead!”
Male: “Why are you telling us but not telling anyone else?”
Montag: “Cause I’m trying to f***in’ figure all this s*** out.”
Male: “It’s OK, because I’ve been recoding this conversation since you’ve come in, so I will publicly release it myself.”

In the wake of the released audio, NDP Chairwoman Jane Kleeb removed Montag from his position with the state party.

“I apologize to all the Democrats who now have to answer at the sale barn or hair salon what is wrong with the direction of politics,” Kleeb told the Lincoln Journal Star.

“The hateful rhetoric has no place in the Democratic Party and does not represent the values of Democrats across our state and country who lift up working-class families every day.”

Reached for comment by Conservative Review, Kleeb said “The amount of heated political rhetoric is dangerous and reckless.”

Montag denied wishing that Scalise was dead, arguing to the Omaha World-Herald Thursday that his words had been taken out of context.

“Like every decent American I am saddened and horrified by the shooting of Congressman Scalise,” Montag told the paper by email. “I do not and did not wish for his death. I am hopeful that the entirety of the original, unedited recording will emerge so we can get to the truth of the matter.”

Mr. Montag did not respond to a request for comment from Conservative Review. (For more from the author of “Despicable Nebraska Democrat Says He’s ‘F**King Glad’ Scalise Got Shot” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/06/despicable-nebraska-democrat-says-hes-fking-glad-scalis
