Elite Media Plot New Censorship Regime
by Cliff Kincaid
{aim.org} ~ Under the guise of suppressing “fake news,” the elite media and their allies are creating a censorship regime to ban legitimate conservative news from platforms like Facebook, Google, and Twitter... In a November 19 editorial, The New York Times complained about “millions of people” having been taken in by “fake news stories,” such as that Pope Francis had endorsed Donald Trump for president. Think about this claim. For over a year Pope Frances has been denouncing capitalism and calling for open borders. Trump had been openly critical of the pope. If anyone believed the pope had suddenly endorsed Trump for president, they were living in a fantasy land. It’s extremely doubtful that millions believed such rubbish. But the Times went further, citing a “BuzzFeed News analysis” finding that “during the last three months of the presidential campaign, the 20 top fake news stories on Facebook generated more engagement—shares, likes and comments—than the 20 top stories from real news websites.”... http://www.aim.org/aim-column/elite-media-plot-new-censorship-regime/?utm_source=AIM+-+Weekly+Email&utm_campaign=email112616&utm_medium=email

9/11 MASTERMIND: Says, ‘IMMIGRATION’
Is THE Way To DESTROY USA
{clashdaily.com} ~ You will never, EVER see this story on CNN. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed talks… and talks about the plans to destroy the US. The thing is, he’s saying the same things that many on the right have been saying for a looong time... The jailed architect of 9/11 revealed that al Qaeda’s plan to kill the United States was not through military attacks but immigration and “outbreeding nonmuslims” who would use the legal system to install Sharia law, according to a blockbuster new book. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also predicted that intelligence officials using so-called “enhanced interrogation” techniques such as the waterboarding he experienced would eventually come under attack from weak-kneed U.S. politicians and media… http://clashdaily.com/2016/11/911-mastermind-says-immigration-way-destroy-usa/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=229193&utm_keyword=major1&utm_content=9835110&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=subscriber_id:9835110&utm_campaign=9/11%20MASTERMIND:%20Says,%20%E2%80%98IMMIGRATION%E2%80%99%20Is%20THE%20Way%20To%20DESTROY%20USA

Judge Jeanine – liar-Clinton Hypocrisy On Recount, Accepting Decision Of Voters
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Judge Jeanine Pirro calls out the hypocrisy of liar-Hillary Clinton and her decision to team up with Green Party globalist ally Jill Stein in seeking a recount of the election results in three states... Judge Jeanine notes that it is now almost three weeks after the election, a bit late in the game to be deciding you want to question the outcome. She also draws attention to the statements of liar-Clinton both during the last debate and in campaigning afterwards, disparaging Mr. Trump for wanting to wait to decide if he would accept the results until he was able to evaluate the results on election night. Trump replied that he would look at it at the time and keep us all in suspense until that point. He didn’t say, “give me a few weeks to think things over, see if anybody wants to team up.” She plays a clip of the angry, almost unglued liar-Clinton responding during the debate to the position being taken by her opponent. liar-Clinton said, “That’s horrifying.” She added, “That is not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.”... http://rickwells.us/judge-jeanine-clinton-hypocrisy-recount-accepting-decision-voters/

Sanctuary Cities, States Could Quickly Bankrupt
If They Force Trump To Withhold Funds
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The tactic preferred by obstinate mayors of sanctuary cities seems clear – many insist they’re going to continue to violate the law once Donald Trump becomes president and dare him... and the federal government to make good on their threats of defunding them. They might want to rethink their insistence on breaking the law as there are some very serious criminal offenses, felonies, that could also be part of a sanctuary city prosecution. Sanctuary cities are those that refuse to cooperate with ICE, including the refusal to honor their detainers for an additional 48 hour hold beyond a detainee’s release date to allow ICE agents the time necessary to pick up the offender. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti warned that withholding federal funds from sanctuary cities would cause “social, economic and security problems,” and that the entire state of California could face potential bankruptcy. Of course, if those withholdings occur as a result of their refusal to comply with federal immigration law, it is those directing the lawlessness, the mayors and other officials who bear the responsibility... http://rickwells.us/sanctuary-cities-states-could-quickly-bankrupt-force-trump-withhold-funds/

liar-nObama admin covering up key Iran
deal details in final days
by Adam Kredo
by Adam Kredo
{freebeacon.com} ~ Senior liar-nObama administration officials in their final days in office are seeking to cover up key details of the Iran nuclear deal from Congress... according to documents and sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon about continued efforts by the White House to block formal investigations into secret diplomacy with Tehran that resulted in a $1.7 billion cash payment by the United States. As leading members of Congress petition the liar-nObama administration for answers about what many describe as a $1.7 billion “ransom” payment to Iran, liar-nObama administration officials are doubling down on their refusal to answer questions about the secret negotiations with Iran that led to this payment. Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), a vocal opponent of last year’s nuclear deal with Iran, has been seeking answers from senior liar-nObama administration officials since at least late September. However, officials continue to stonewall the senator’s inquiries, according to senior congressional sources and formal communications between Rubio and the State Department obtained by the Free Beacon...

The ADL's New Bedfellows
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ In an interview this week with the Australian media, Jordan’s King Abdullah became the latest Arab leader to express hope that President- elect Donald Trump and his team will lead the world’s to date failed fight against jihadist Islam.
Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi was among the first Arab leaders to welcome Trump’s victory.
Sisi has been largely shunned by the liar-nObama administration.
President Barack liar-nObama supported the Muslim Brotherhood regime that Sisi and the Egyptian military overthrew in 2013.
Sisi was the first foreign leader to speak to Trump after his victory was announced. He released a statement to the media saying that he “looks forward to the presidency of president Donald Trump to inject a new spirit into the trajectory of Egyptian-American relations.”
The support that the incoming Trump administration is garnering in the Arab world stands in stark contrast to the near wall-to-wall opposition to Trump expressed by the American Muslim community.
According to a survey of Muslim American opinion taken in October by the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), 72% of American Muslims supported Democratic nominee liar-Hillary Clinton. Trump was supported by a mere 4% of the Muslim community.
Muslim American activists played key roles in the liar-Clinton campaign. They were particularly active in swing states like Ohio and Michigan where Trump won by narrow margins.
As The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday, since the election, Muslim American leaders have expressed concern and hostility toward the incoming Trump administration. Muslim Democrat activist James Zogby, who also heads the Arab American Institute, published an op-ed in The Jordan Times to this effect after the election. Zogby expressed concern that the Trump administration would harm the civil rights of Arab Americans.
The gap between the Arab world’s support for Trump and the Muslim American community’s opposition to him is particularly notable because it reverberates strongly the growing cleavage between the Israeli government and public and large swaths of the American Jewish community.
Led most prominently by the Anti-Defamation League and its executive director Jonathan Greenblatt, in the wake of the election, American Jews are at the forefront of efforts to delegitimize Trump and his senior advisers. Unlike their Muslim American counterparts, who are keeping their criticism of Arab regimes to themselves, Greenblatt, the ADL and their allies on the Left have linked their opposition to Trump to legitimizing opponents of Israel.
Before assuming his role at the ADL, Greenblatt worked in Valerie Jarrett’s political influence shop in the liar-nObama White House. As ADL chief, Greenblatt has used his position as the head of a major Jewish organization to support the liar-nObama administration’s policies. To this end, since the election, the ADL has worked to tar the incoming Trump administration as antisemitic, focusing its fire on Trump’s senior strategist, former Breitbart News CEO Stephen Bannon.
The ADL spearheaded the campaign to label Bannon an antisemite. When its claims were shown to be entirely spurious, this week the ADL quietly acknowledged that Bannon has actually never made any antisemitic statements. But its quiet admission of spreading lies didn’t stop the ADL from continuing to traffic in them. Even after it admitted that “we are not aware of any antisemitic statements from Bannon,” the ADL continued to insist that Breitbart has been a home for antisemites because some Jew-haters wrote antisemitic responses to Breitbart articles.
The ADL’s smear campaign against Bannon is a hard-sell because Breitbart is among the most pro-Israel websites in the US. But this brings us to the second aspect of the ADL-led campaign against President-elect Donald Trump and his team.
With each passing day, it becomes increasingly clear that the ADL and its allies are using the Trump victory as a means to draw a distinction between pro-Israel and Jew-friendly while arguing that antisemites support Israel and that people who hate Israel are not antisemites. This was the clear goal at the ADL’s summit on antisemitism last week.
As Daniel Greenfield reported Thursday in Front- Page Magazine, the ADL used the conference to legitimize the so-called BDS campaign to boycott Jewish Israeli products and divest from businesses that do business with Jewish-owned Israeli businesses.
It similarly normalized the general argument that there is nothing inherently antisemitic about opposing the Jewish state.
In a panel with the disturbing title, “Is Delegitimization of Israel Antisemitism?” the ADL featured anti-Israel activists Jill Jacobs and Jane Eisen. Both women argued that BDS is legitimate. At the same time, they denounced fervent supporters of Israel like Bannon and Center for Security President Frank Gaffney.
Greenfield reported that the ADL gave a prominent platform at the conference supposedly dedicated to fighting antisemitism to Ford Foundation CEO Darren Walker. The Ford Foundation is one of the leading contributors to anti-Israel organizations in the US and to anti-Zionist political front groups in Israel.
Other speakers explained that it isn’t that Israel’s foes are antisemitic. It is just that Israelis and their supporters have become “hypersensitive” to criticism.
All in all, Greenfield concluded, “Instead of tackling antisemitism, the ADL was tackling Israel and pro-Israel Jews” and “normalizing anti-Israel rhetoric and organizations.”
A few days after the conference, the ADL took the next step toward normalizing hatred for Israel in America when it announced its support for Rep.
Keith Ellison’s candidacy to serve as the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Ellison became the first Muslim American elected to the House of Representatives in 2006. In the decades that preceded his election, Ellison built a long and documented history of membership in and advocacy and employment for the antisemitic Nation of Islam. In his capacity as a Nation of Islam spokesman, Ellison made antisemitic statements and promoted anti-Jewish and anti-Israel positions and activists.
Since joining the House of Representatives, Ellison has been one of the leading anti-Israel voices in Congress. He has spearheaded multiple anti-Israel initiatives. He openly supports the boycott of Israeli Jewish products and has castigated Israel as an apartheid state.
Together with James Zogby, last August Ellison served as a member of the Democratic Party’s platform committee. The men attempted to purge the platform of language in support of Israel.
Yet Wednesday the ADL released a statement extolling Ellison as “a man of good character.” The ADL praised him as “an ally in the fight against antisemitism and for civil rights.”
It even said that Ellison “has been on record in support of Israel.”
ADL is supporting Ellison – and opposing Trump and his pro-Israel advisers – because Greenblatt and his backers support liar-nObama’s policies in the Middle East and want to make it difficult for Trump to abandon them.
Ellison and the leading American Muslim groups oppose Trump for the same reason. The difference between the two groups is that the ADL and its Jewish backers are acting in this manner because they support the Left, which liar-nObama leads. Ellison and his allies at CAIR, the Islamic Society of North America, and the Arab American Institute and other groups oppose Trump because they support the substance of liar-nObama’s policies.
The chief characteristics of liar-nObama’s Middle East policies have been support for the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran against Israel and the US’s Sunni allies.
Former FBI agent and counterterrorism expert John Guandolo estimates that upward of 80% of Islamic centers and mosques in the US are controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The major American Muslim groups, including CAIR, ISNA and the Islamic Circle of North America are tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood in turn supports Iran.
During his year in power in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi permitted Iranian warships to travel through the Suez Canal, hosted Iranian leaders and Hezbollah commanders in Cairo and took a series of additional steps to embrace Iran.
Trump’s foreign policy adviser Walid Phares gave an interview to Egyptian television after Trump’s election stating that Trump will support a bill introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood in the US as well as its offshoots CAIR, ISNA and others due to their support for jihadist terrorist groups formed by Brotherhood members. Al-Qaida, Hamas and a host of other jihadist groups have all been formed by Muslim Brotherhood followers.
Trump’s national security adviser, Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Mike Flynn; Rep. Mike Pompeo, whom Trump has selected to serve as his CIA director; as well as Marine Gen. James Mattis, the leading contender to serve as Trump’s defense secretary are all outspoken opponents of liar-nObama’s nuclear deal with Iran.
Given the stakes, then, it makes perfect sense that the Arab American groups oppose Trump.
It also makes sense that Arab regimes threatened by the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran support Trump and eagerly await his inauguration.
And it clearly makes sense for Israel to welcome Trump’s election.
The only thing that makes no sense is the American Jewish campaign to demonize Trump. The ADL’s leadership of the campaign to smear Trump and his advisers while legitimizing BDS and supporting Israel-bashers is antithetical to the interests of the American Jewish community.
In adopting these positions, Greenblatt and the ADL along with their allies in J Street, Jewish Voices for Peace, If Not Now, The Forward, other far-left groups and mainstream groups that have lost their way show through their actions that they have conflated their Judaism with their support for the Left.
To the extent that the interests of the Jews of America contradict the positions of the Left, the Jews of America are behaving in an “antisemitic” way.
It is the responsibility of the segment of the community that understands “Jewish” is not a synonym of “leftist” to oppose the ADL and its backers. If they fail to do so, they will contribute to the descent of the community into powerlessness and irrelevance, not only in the era of Trump, but into the future.
Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi was among the first Arab leaders to welcome Trump’s victory.
