EMAILGATE: How George Soros controls Hillary, her campaign and the U.S. Dept. of State

/in , , , , /by

Emails have been trickling out from Wikileaks that continue to show unusual influence and connections from globalist George Soros within the Hillary State Department and with current members of the Hillary for president campaign.

As we have previously reported Donald Trump is under attack by 187 organizations directly funded by the George Soros Open Society Foundations. Many of these same organizations are working to elect Hillary as president.

A specific email shows how much Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Department of State and now members of Hillary’s campaign staff have embraced Mr. Soros.

An email was sent by Mr. Soros to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (see the original email here). Soros sent the email on January 23rd, 2010. On January 24th the email was forwarded by Jonas Rolett, who is the special advisor to George Soros who chairs the Open Society Foundations, which are funding the anti-Trump effort. Rolett sent the message to Richard R. Verma, former U.S. Ambassador to India, stating, “Here’s the text of the message [from George Soros]. I’m available to talk at any time.”

Verma then sent the email to Hillary’s former senior State Department advisor and current campaign manager – Huma Abedin.

Also copied on the email are:

  1. Jacob J. Sullivan, who is an American policymaker and the top foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election campaign,
  2. Philip H. Gordon, who from 2013 to 2015 served in the White House as Special Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf Region,
  3. and William J. Burns the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former U.S. deputy secretary of state under Hillary Clinton.

Below, with my emphasis, is the full text of the message:

Dear Hillary,

A serious situation has arisen in Albania which needs urgent attention at senior levels of the US government. You may know that an opposition demonstration in Tirana on Friday resulted in the deaths of three people and the destruction of property. There are serious concerns about further unrest connected to a counter-demonstration to be organized by the governing party on Wednesday and a follow-up event by the opposition two days later to memorialize the victims. The prospect of tens of thousands of people entering the streets in an already inflamed political environment bodes ill for the return of public order and the country’s fragile democratic process.

I believe two things need to be done urgently:

1. Bring the full weight of the international community to bear on Prime Minister Berisha and opposition leader Edi Rama to forestall further public demonstrations and to tone down public pronouncements.
2. Appoint a senior European official as a mediator.

While I am concerned about the rhetoric being used by both sides, I am particularly worried about the actions of the Prime Minister. There is videotape of National Guard members firing on demonstrators from the roof of the Prime Ministry. The Prosecutor (appointed by the Democratic Party) has issued arrest warrants for the individuals in question. The Prime Minister had previously accused the opposition of intentionally murdering these activists as a provocation. After the tape came out deputies from his party accused the Prosecutor of planning a coup d’etat in collaboration with the opposition, a charge Mr. Berisha repeated today. No arrests have been made as of this writing.

The demonstration resulted from opposition protests over the conduct of parliamentary elections in 2009. The political environment has deteriorated ever since and is now approaching levels of 1997, when similar issues caused the country to slide into anarchy and violence. There are signs that Edi Rama’s control of his own people is slipping, which may lead to further violence.

The US and the EU must work in complete harmony over this, but given Albania’s European aspirations the EU must take the lead. That is why I suggest appointing a mediator such as Carl Bildt. Martti Ahtisaari or Miroslav Lajcak, all of whom have strong connections to the Balkans.

My foundation in Tirana is monitoring the situation closely and can provide independent analysis of the crisis.

Thank you,

George Soros

Connecting the dots is critical if one is to understand how deep and how broad are the connections between George Soros and Hillary Clinton. His influence with Mrs. Clinton and her campaign staff is a clear and present danger to the national security of the United. States.

Socialists Are Scarcity Deniers by Jeffrey A. Tucker

/in , , , /by

Amnesty International has finally had enough of the goings-on in Venezuela. With a population starving, the government issued a forced-labor edict. Amnesty said: “Trying to tackle Venezuela’s severe food shortages by forcing people to work the fields is like trying to fix a broken leg with a band aid.”

Actually it’s more like fixing a broken leg with a bullet to the head.

Forced labor is indeed a human-rights abuse. Maybe you notice a pattern here. Wherever socialism is tried, people suffer. Each case is different because no tyrannical regime behaves exactly like any other. But the root of the problem is the refusal to allow people to own, accumulate, trade, and associate.

Surely that is the core of the problem in Venezuela.

Here We Go Again

No, say the socialists. “The problems plaguing the Venezuelan economy are not due to some inherent fault in socialism.”

Socialism seems to be the most persistent non-falsifiable ideology on planet earth. The socialists are like people who swear that gravity doesn’t exist and keep hopping around on two feet, expecting to rise into the clouds at any moment. It never happens, but the faith that there is no gravity remains unshaken.

What, in any case, is socialism? No matter how one describes it, no matter how many failed cases you point to, no matter how often all its central ideas are refuted, the socialist refuses responsibility.

So let’s just take at least someone’s word for it. The Socialist Party of Britain gives this shorthand description of what socialism is: “free access to all goods and services.”

Interesting idea. I think I’ll take a Bentley, a vacation to Europe, a custom-made suit, and a lifetime of haircuts. For free. Thank you very much.

Fundamental Misunderstanding

This claim seems to confirm everything I’ve ever suspected about socialism. It’s rooted in a very simple error, one so fundamental that it denies a fundamental feature of the world. It denies the existence and the persistence of scarcity itself. That is to say, it denies that producing and allocating is even a problem. If you deny that, it’s hardly surprising that you have no regard for economics as a discipline of the social sciences.

To be sure, economists use the term “scarcity” in a particular way. It does not mean a shortage, though the possibility of shortages are a feature of scarcity. But a good or service can still be scarce even if it exists in abundance.

So, for example, just because the stores overflow with groceries, or because Internet startups are begging you to download applications, it doesn’t mean that we live in a post-scarcity age. There is no such thing as post-scarcity in this life.

So long as there is a contest for control over something, it is a scarce good. Let’s say you are sharing a pizza with friends. Every time you take a slice, another appears in its place. The pizza is magically reproducing itself. At some point, once having noticed this phenomenon, your behavior begins to change. There is no more rivalry over slices. Your control over a slice does not forbid another’s control. In this case, pizza has indeed become non-scarce.

Scarcity is baked into the nature of a good. If you can imagine people in some sort of argument about who gets to control or consume it, it is scarce. And fighting over “intellectual property” doesn’t count, because what that really involves is fighting over whether someone can use their scarce resources (computer drives, guitar strings, etc) to reproduce patterns (software, songs, etc). More on this below.

Even copious goods can be scarce. Think of an Easter egg hunt with 100,000 eggs on a lawn. The kids will still run and struggle to collect them. They still have the features of scarcity.

No Collective Ownership of Scarce Goods

Here’s the key point. So long as anything is scarce, there cannot be free, unlimited, collective access to it. Whatever it is will be over-utilized, depleted, and finally vanish following the final fight for the last scrap – sort of like what is happening in Venezuela today.

That is to say, you can’t have socialism in a scarce good or service. Instead, it has to be allocated. Things can be allocated by arbitrary decision backed by force, or they can be allocated through agreement, trading, and gifting. The forceful way is what socialism has always become. This is for a reason: socialism does not deal with reality.

What doesn’t have the feature of scarcity? Think of any good or service over which there is no contest to control and consume. You can consume it and so can everyone else, unto infinity. The last word is key. For a good to be non-scarce, there can be no limits to its reproducibility.

Does air qualify? Not always, as you know if you have ever been stuck between floors on a crowded elevator. What about water? No, there is a reason why the bottled water market is so huge. These are like all things in the physical word: subject to limits and hence must be allocated.

On the other hand, let’s say you hear a catchy song like “Happy”; you can take the tune, sing it all day, and share it with your friends. Doing this takes nothing away from the original. In the same way, you can stare at an image, remember it, and reproduce it. And so it is with the ideas in this article. You can take them. I can’t stop you unless I attack or threaten your scarce body, or someone else (like the government) does so on my behalf. The idea portion of all these goods is non-scarce, so they do not need to be priced or owned.

How is it that you still end up paying for downloading books and purchasing music? The reason isn’t entirely due to copyright; it’s also because what you are paying for is not a good as such but a scarce service: all that is associated with accessing servers. Here is the scarce, and hence priced, service.

Socialism is indeed the problem. It truly makes no sense.

All this aside, socialists often don’t seem to get the very first point: there is no imagined heaven on earth of unlimited plenty. All we can do is struggle to make more of everything available to as many people as possible, and encourage trading to take advantage of the division of labor. This is called a market, and it is based on the notion of private ownership in all scarce things (including capital goods) – the very thing that socialists want to end.

Then they look at Venezuela and think: my goodness, something seems to be going wrong! Whatever it is, it can’t be socialism!

But you know what? Socialism is indeed the problem. It truly makes no sense.

After the DOJ’s Report, Where are the Calls for Baltimore’s Mayor to Resign?

/in , , , , /by

On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a scathing report on the state of the Baltimore City Police Department (BPD) as a part of its civil rights investigation following the death of Freddie Gray.

The press release about the report stated,

“The Justice Department announced today that it found reasonable cause to believe that the Baltimore City Police Department (BPD) engages in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution as well as federal anti-discrimination laws. BPD makes stops, searches and arrests without the required justification; searches and arrests; uses excessive force; and retaliates against individuals for their constitutionally-protected expression. The pattern or practice results from systemic deficiencies that have persisted within BPD for many years and has exacerbated community distrust of the police, particularly in the African-American community. The city and the department have also entered into an agreement in principle to work together, with community input, to create a federal court-enforceable consent decree addressing the deficiencies found during the investigation.”

I have been stunned by the muted reaction by both the Black community and the media.

Let me remind you that at the time of Gray’s death last year, Baltimore had a Black mayor, a Black police chief, a Black prosecutor, a Black president of the city council, a Black congressman and an almost fifty percent Black police force.

Juxtapose that with the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., a few years ago. The Justice Department, led by then-Attorney General Eric Holder, went to Ferguson and did a similar investigation and found identical results to Baltimore. The Ferguson reports are very similar to the report issued about the Baltimore Police Department.

The media narrative about Ferguson was that the police force was racist. White cop kills unarmed Black man. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Blacks make up roughly 70 percent of the population in Ferguson and more than 20 percent live in poverty. When Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, the mayor was White, there was only one Black on the six-member city council (.096 percent) and only three Blacks out of 53 policemen (5.6 percent) and was listed as the sixth most segregated city in the U.S.

The NAACP’s president and CEO, Cornell Brooks basically copied and pasted the statement he issued after the Ferguson reports and reused it for the Baltimore report.

The NAACP is “supposed” to be the nation’s premier civil rights organization, but time after time they have been shown to be huge hypocrites. Upon the Justice Department’s release of their damning report on Ferguson last year, Brooks said to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, “the mayor needs to resign.”

Strangely enough, Brooks never called for the resignation of the Mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who is a Black Democrat.

I am really trying hard to understand what is going on here. Ferguson and Baltimore were both run from top to bottom by Democrats, both cities had an unarmed Black male killed at the hands of their police and both cities erupted in violence after the incidents. The Justice Department came to the same conclusion about both cities: that the cities and their police forces were incompetently run and employed policemen who violated a plethora of federal and civil rights laws.

The only difference between the two cities comes down to race. Ferguson was run by all Whites and Baltimore was run by all Blacks.

So, if Ferguson was a “racial” issue, what do you call Baltimore? Why have our Black civil rights leaders and activists reacted differently to the Justice Department’s report on Baltimore’s police department?

Where are the cries for Rawlings-Blake to resign? She also serves as the secretary of the Democratic National Committee and president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Why is she not being asked to resign from those positions?

Most of the violations listed by the Justice Department happened during her time as mayor. Is she not also a racist? Americans, in general, and Blacks specifically must be consistent in their calls for justice and equality, whether the mayor of a city is Black or White.

If they preside over a law-breaking, corrupt police department and allow that type of culture to fester, shouldn’t that elected official be forced out of office?

We, as Blacks, lose the moral high ground when we are not consistent in our quest to make America a better nation. Whites lose the moral high ground when they constantly try to minimize the role that race plays in our society. Both approaches are equally as wrong, but we both must strive to be equally right.

Someone’s Loss is Someone’s Gain

Being a Spanish speaking American by birth gives me a very unique stage to see the political area in three dimensions; as a native Puerto Rican, as an American citizen by birth, and as a woman.  It is not logical to me that my Republican Party that I have served for more than 26 years don’t get it as yet. They continue making the same mistakes over and over again. I have been part of races from National, State and local. Also have been a very strong advocated for education, juvenile justices our seniors as well as a candidate.

Being trained in Public Relations and International model, I was trained to learn how to read candidates body language; their hand shake is enough for me.  Candidates who are first time runners because they have not been mold by the establishment ideology or corruption.

This is the case with Donald J. Trump, knowing of him from the Miss America and Universe Pageants and Puerto Rico winning 5 tittles, the man is a household name. The amount of young women he has opened the doors to phenomenal futures and the dreams for little girls he has imprinted in their brains are the testaments of this man love for women and their future.

The man is a true genius in his own right. When years ago were rumors of him to running, I was ready to fold my sleeve and get to work. But it did not happen, and Romney came to be the one. Was great disappointment for me and many others not having Trump in the race. To me being involved in Romney’s race and see a winner-able race to a loser race was heart crushing, just because the people he surrounded with did not reach out to those who knew the ground game.

Florida is a very special animal, with 67 counties and not two are the same is a great mistake not to include the leaders instead of elected officials. This brings me to Trump’s Campaign; is Trumps campaign making the same mistake?   The Tampa rally where the Puerto Rican community continues growing the lack of volunteer and respectable leaders was not visible, last night event in Kissimmee, the heart of the Puerto Rican community paraded speakers who has no knowledge of the terrain, also big mistakes.  How dreadful that Spanish speaking Americans were not able to be part of a historical moment, because the lack of Spanish speaking Americans and advertising. It’s very sad when the supposed campaign workers, staff and volunteers do not understand the state makeup because they are from others states or counties.

Why the Florida Puerto Rican community is the make it or breaks it in these elections? Puerto Rico is a territory of USA, we are citizens by birth, we are legal citizens and we are not able to vote for the Presidential elections but yes for the primaries in Puerto Rico. As soon a Puerto Rican cross the ocean to the main land are able to immediately register and vote. Puerto Rico has a very serious problem when the democrats (PPD) infiltrated the REPUBLICANS (PNP) and now both parties are the same. It is a big disservice to the inhabitant of the islands, the future and the economy.

Upon arrival because the Democratic Party, they think that is democracy and we love democracy, so they register democrat. The soul of Puerto Ricans is Republican, we love family, we love the entrepreneurial spirit, and we believe the marriage between a man and a woman, WE LOVE GOD, NATION and FAMILY.

The event in Kissimmee was a great lost opportunity not to bring the right speakers who can and will make a difference, and bring aboard the Puerto Rican voters with the message of prosperity and small business, and the returned of companies which have left the island, with a commentary of empty buildings and an economy of bankruptcy.  Trump has been defamed even by people who were supporters of Jeb’s and Rubio in our island. Today you see them been part of Trumps Campaign.

My question is are they to help win or to sabotage Trumps opportunity to “Make America Great Again” Those of us who do work in the Path the Peaceful Warrior are concerned with Agenda 21 One World Government.

ALGUIEN PERDIO Y OTRO GANO

“ser un americana de habla española por nacimiento me da una única tarima para ver el arena política en tres dimensiones; como una nativa puertorriqueña, como un ciudadana americana por nacimiento y como mujer.  No es lógico para mí que mi partido republicano al cual he servido por más de 26 años no la adquiero todavía la responsabilidad de instruir a los Puertorriqueños la diferencia de los partidos. Siguen haciendo los mismos errores una y otra vez. He sido parte de las carreras políticas de los nacionales, estatales y locales. También he abogado con fervor por la educación, menores, nuestros ancianos y como candidata.

Adiestramiento en relaciones públicas y modelo internacional, fui entrenada para aprender a leer lenguaje corporal de los candidatos; su movimientos son suficiente para mí.  Los candidatos que son primerizos me interesan porque no han sido moldeados por la ideología del establecimiento o la corrupción.

Este es el caso de Donald, sabiendo él de la Miss América y Miss Universo concursos y Puerto Rico tiene 5 títulos de ganadoras, Mr. Trump es un hombre de nombre familiar en nuestra isla.

Puerto Rico es un territorio de Estados Unidos, somos ciudadanos por nacimiento, legales y no somos capaces de votar para las elecciones presidenciales en la isla pero sí para las primarias en Puerto Rico. Tan pronto un puertorriqueño cruzar el océano  a USA tienen el derecho de registrarse y votar de inmediato.

Puerto Rico tiene un problema muy grave cuando los demócratas en Puerto Rico (PPD) se infiltraron con los republicanos (PNP) y ahora ambos partidos son lo mismo demócratas (dos manos izquierdas no pueden aplaudir). Es una gran pérdida para los habitantes de las islas, y el futuro y la economía.  A su llegada piensan que el partido demócrata, es democracia y amor democracia, se registran demócratas. El alma de los Puertorriqueños  es republicana, amamos a familia, nos encanta al espíritu emprendedor, y creemos en el matrimonio entre un hombre y una mujer, amamos Dios, nación y familia.

El evento en Kissimmee fue una gran oportunidad que se perdió no llevaron los altavoces de la comunidad Puertorriqueña que puede hacer una gran diferencia y llevar a bordo los votantes puertorriqueños  en Florida con el mensaje de prosperidad y una economía abrumadora para la isla y la verdad, porque Trump es el único que puede ayudar a resolver la economía de Puerto Rico primo. Porque con Trump  América y Puerto Rico serán grandes otra vez.

Gun-Haters Deride First American Gold Winner at Rio Summer Olympics

/in , , , /by

Signs of the cultural schisms and declining love of country that are the chief legacy of the Obama presidency are all around us. And while not the most serious, one of the most unfortunate and pathetic is that Americans can no longer agree that a fellow patriot’s gold medal at the Olympics is something to be celebrated. At least not when the gold involves pulling a trigger.

Nineteen-year-old Virginian Ginny Thrasher became the first gold medalist of the 2016 Summer Olympiad last Saturday, winning the women’s 10-meter air rifle competition in an upset over heavily-favored China, whose competitors in the event have six prior Olympic medals between them.

Ginny’s is a classic Cinderella story of a young athlete ascending to the top of her sport in her very first Olympic appearance. And while her stiffest competition have long been dominating international matches, Ginny’s first exposure to the shooting sports occurred only few years ago, on a hunting trip with her grandfather. Taking her first whitetail proved to be a formative experience for Ginny, as the then-figure skater began devoting her full competitive energies to marksmanship.

Fortunately, in addition to her grandfather, she had support and training from her father, who is retired from the U.S. Air Force. She also had ready access to firearm safety training and scholastic shooting programs at two public institutions, West Springfield High School and perennial NCAA shooting standout West Virginia University. During her freshman year last season at WVU, Ginny won the individual small-bore and air rifle titles, paving her way to national prominence and a place on the U.S. shooting team.

Ginny’s story could only be written in America, where firearms are woven into the fabric of ordinary life and where even a suburban teenage girl can find top notch marksmanship training and support right in her own neighborhood.

“I am so proud of being American,” she told ABC News. “I am so proud to stand on that podium, to listen to my nation’s anthem and to just be able to represent, and start off this Rio 2016 games on such a positive note.”

Now it’s no surprise that the chattering classes from abroad haven’t been as enthusiastic in embracing Ginny as the vast majority of Americans. Gun-hating Piers Morgan, a sterling example of why the British Empire has declined so precipitously, weighed in early with his mockery. “LEAST SURPRISING BREAKING NEWS EVER,” he tweeted, “America’s 1st Olympic Gold Medal is for Shooting. #Thrasher.”

But it’s disappointing that antigun politics prevent even some Americans from celebrating their countrywoman’s outstanding accomplishment. Wil Wheaton (yes, we checked, and apparently he’s a celebrity of sorts), reacted to Ginny’s win with this tweet: “America’s first gold medal in the 2016 Olympics was won by a teenager for shooting. Because we now live inside @TheOnion.”

The Twittersphere featured a number of similar comments, albeit many by people who have no public persona or whose public persona is even more obscure than Wil Wheaton’s.

And the Washington Post, in an otherwise relatively straightforward profile of the golden girl, nevertheless could not help commenting on her “menacing name” and “high-powered, German-made weapon.”

In that regard, the Post was wrong on everything except the origin of Ginny’s Feinwerkbau 700. While it was made in Germany, it’s basically a more sophisticated version of the pellet guns many American children grow up with and use to learn the fundamentals of safe shooting and gun handling. It is designed specifically for marksmanship competitions, not as a weapon. And propelling a .177 caliber pellet at a maximum velocity of 570 feet per second, it’s not even especially powerful by air gun standards. What distinguishes it most is its pinpoint accuracy at competition range, something that only really matters in the hands of an expert user like Ginny Thrasher.

Simply put, any suggestion that Ginny’s participation in elite shooting competition on behalf of her university and country somehow promotes a “culture of violence” or firearm-related crime is like suggesting that the Olympic torch should be faulted for contributing to global warming.

Indeed, a variety of shooting sports have a long-established history in the Olympic Games. And for good reason. Many traditional Olympic events are rooted in disciplines that have a martial pedigree, including biathlon, wrestling, boxing, archery, javelin, and equestrian events. Yet according to the International Olympic Committee’s charter:

“The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.”

In other words, the Olympics provide a forum for countries to contend with one another in contests of strength, courage, precision, speed, and skill, but without bloodshed and with the goal of mutual elevation, not conquest or subjugation.

That’s a pretty intuitive concept for most people to grasp.

As for Ginny, she’s not letting ginned up “controversies” interfere with the achievement of her Olympic dreams. You don’t become Olympic shooting champion, after all, if you are easily distracted. Rather than focus on polemics, Ginny said, “I just tried to focus on the competition.”

That’s what makes Ginny an international winner and an American success story.

And while most Americans will continue to embrace her as a hero, her detractors on Twitter will no doubt keep making fools of themselves, 140 characters at a time.

UK: Massive Muslim voter fraud not challenged because of ‘political correctness’

/in , , , /by

The more we continue our “over-sensitivity about ethnicity and religion,” the more our Western democracies will continue their descent into crime, human rights abuses, and the general anarchy that is entrenched in the Islamic regimes that Muslim migrants have escaped. Now, massive voter fraud is reported in Muslim areas in the UK, a prevalent phenomenon from “back home” under corrupted regimes.

The Daily Mail also reported that an ex-Cabinet minister, Sir Eric Pickles, lambasted the police, election watchdogs and town halls for ignoring evidence of electoral abuse, and he stated that “the intimidation of voters on religious grounds was so bad that police should be allowed to put cordons outside polling stations to protect frightened voters.”

Leftists and cowards keep denying the truth about Islamic supremacist intimidation in the West, Sharia incursions, migrant crime, deadly jihad attacks, and the like; and according to Hillary Clinton, Muslims have “nothing to do with terrorism.”

A key point to note in the article below:

In 2014, Breitbart London reported on threats and chaos at Tower Hamlets polling stations.

Meanwhile…

First Lady of the U.S. Michelle Obama visited a school in Tower Hamlets in the summer of 2015 where she declared: “When I look out at all these young women, I see myself. In so many ways your story is my story”. She added, in her speech to the Mulberry School for Girls – most of whom where hijab-clad, that the area was full of “families [who] are tight knit… with strong values.”

Govt: Massive Voter Fraud In Muslim Areas, No Challenge Because Of ‘Political Correctness’”, by Raheem Kassam, Breitbart, August 12, 2016:

Massive levels of electoral fraud have gone unchallenged as a result of “political correctness”, according to an official new report from the UK government.
The Telegraph reports that a new report commissioned by former Communities Secretary Sir Eric Pickles reveals that UK authorities are in a “state of denial” and are “turning a blind eye” to election fraud in heavily populated Muslim areas.

According to the report, voter fraud is occurring “especially in communities of Pakistani and Bangladeshi background”, but concerns have been largely ignored due to “over-sensitivities about ethnicity and religion”.

The new information confirms reports repeatedly raised by Breitbart London. In 2014, Breitbart London reported on threats and chaos at Tower Hamlets polling stations.

First Lady of the U.S. Michelle Obama visited a school in Tower Hamlets in the summer of 2015 where she declared: “When I look out at all these young women, I see myself. In so many ways your story is my story”. She added, in her speech to the Mulberry School for Girls – most of whom where hijab-clad, that the area was full of “families [who] are tight knit… with strong values”.

According to the Telegraph, the new report sees Sir Eric warning that “challenging issues” over community cohesion should not be an “excuse” for failing to “uphold the rule of law and protect British liberties”.

His recommendations include banning officials from using any other language than English to communicate with voters at polling stations, as well as calling for voter identification and police cordons around polling stations.

According to Sir Eric, who was removed as Communities Secretary in May 2015, a lack of action by police to tackle electoral fraud “sends a worrying signal that the police are soft on tackling and prosecuting electoral fraud, when faced with competing operational demands”.

He said: “We should never be frightened to look under the rock when what is crawling underneath threatens us all. It is time to take action to take on the electoral crooks and defend Britain’s free and fair elections.”

And he specifically attacked “foreign languages” used to communicate with voters at polling stations.

The report highlights “abuses of postal voting” and “evidence” of “pressure being put on vulnerable members of some ethnic minority communities, particularly women and young people”.

“There were concerns that influence and intimidation within households may not be reported,” the report states, “and that state institutions had turned a blind eye to such behaviour because of ‘politically correct’ over-sensitivities about ethnicity and religion”….

U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency document: Obama and Hillary’s ‘willful decision’ to create ISIS

/in , , /by

Strictly speaking, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi founded the Islamic State (ISIS) as al-Qaeda in Iraq. But it was Obama and Hillary who empowered it and made the decisions that led to it occupying and holding an expanse of territory larger than Great Britain. The media is acting full-on as the Democratic Party’s press agency now, firing at Trump in every possible way, and thereby showing how deeply threatened the political and media elites are by his candidacy. This attack is particularly egregious: trumpeting as a “gaffe” a statement that, while manifesting some rhetorical overstatement, has a great deal of truth to it.

Obama Hillary

“Trump Claims Obama and Hillary Are ‘Founder’ and ‘Co-Founder’ of ISIS, Media Feign Amnesia,” by Jim Jatras, Chronicles, August 12, 2016:

No one paying attention with even one eye and half an ear can be ignorant of the fact that when it comes to this year’s election the MSM are lying shills for Hillary. But now it seems they’re all suffering from amnesia too.

The latest “OMG, Trump said that!” moment is The Donald’s claim that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are, correspondingly, the “founder” and “cofounder” of ISIS. True to form, the media reaction has been to shriek in outrage that he would cast aspersions on such august personages.

As of this writing, not one American media source of which this writer is aware has brought up in relation to Trump’s claims the August 2012 report (declassified and released in 2015 under a FOIA request from Judicial Watch) from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) stating that “there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria, and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime.” The “supporting powers” are identified as “western countries” (no doubt including and led by the United States), “the Gulf States” (presumably including and led by Saudi Arabia), and “Turkey” (just Turkey).

In August 2012 the Secretary of State at the time was one Hillary Rodham Clinton. The President was and still is one Barack Hussein Obama.

The DIA report said, in essence, that if we (the U.S. and our local cronies) keep aiding al-Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other such sterling democrats, something really nasty would arise in eastern Syria. Several months later, it did, when ISIS declared itself a state straddling the Syria-Iraq border.

At some point, even a three-year-old picks up on the concept of causation. “Johnny, if you keep doing that, you’ll [break it, hurt yourself, whatever].” The MSM would have us think that Obama and Hillary are less intelligent than a three-year-old. By dumping funds and arms into the hands of terrorists—only the supposedly “moderate” head-choppers, of course—they had no idea, poor dears, what might happen.

Except they did. Aside from the cautionary example of the chaos Libya was thrown into by “regime change” in 2011, not to mention the appearance of al-Qaeda in the first place as a precipitate from the Afghan war against the Soviets, they had every reason to heed what amounted to a forewarning from DIA. Instead, they decided to press on, aware of the likely result. This was intended: “ . . . this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want.”

General Michael Flynn, currently a Trump adviser, took over as head of DIA a month before the issuance of the report in question. Whether it was his personal effort to caution the administration or simply the professional analysts in the DIA apparatus laying out the facts as they saw them, the 2012 report made no difference. As Flynn confirmed last year, this was not a matter of the administration’s turning a “blind eye” but of their “willful decision” that led to ISIS:

Hasan: You are basically saying that even in government at the time you knew these groups were around, you saw this analysis, and you were arguing against it, but who wasn’t listening?

Flynn: I think the administration.

Hasan: So the administration turned a blind eye to your analysis?

Flynn: I don’t know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision.

Hasan: A willful decision to support an insurgency that had Salafists, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?

Flynn: It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing.

Let’s put into broader context the Fourth Estate’s malfeasance in not connecting the 2012 DIA report to Trump’s accusation. In the last couple of weeks we’ve seen a steadyparade of Republican poobahs and mandarins coming out against Trump (some overtly for Hillary though most pretending there’s some other alternative), plus a veritableWho’s Who of the Deep State responsible for every God-awful mess abroad, in both a GOP lineup and a bipartisan one. (If Trump does win, he’ll at least save time not having to draw up his own Enemies’ List.)  And let’s not forget the former Acting CIA Director who’s calling for assassinations of Russian personnel (and Iranians) in Syria. Sure! It’s all in good fun! What could possibly go wrong?…

Fact Check: Were Obama and Hillary Founders of ISIS? You Bet!

/in , , , , , /by

Even the left-stream media is now acknowledging that Donald Trump “has a point” when he blasts Hilary and Obama for creating ISIS.

“Hillary Clinton is vulnerable. ISIS did gain strength during her time as Secretary of State,” said ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz.

Conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt tried to give Mr. Trump an out. “I know what you meant,” he suggested. “You meant that he [Obama] created the vacuum, he lost the peace.”

Video: Obama: Increasing Support to Fight ISIS in Syria

“No,” Trump replied. “I meant, he’s the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton.”

Trump is correct – and quite literally, so.

First, a document. Then some history.

Thanks to Judicial Watch, we now have an August 2012 defense intelligence report on the civil war in Syria and the situation in Iraq that openly states that the policy of the United States and its allies was to support the Salafist opposition to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

That opposition, at the time spearheaded by Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), soon morphed into the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, ISIS.

The report appears to have originated from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in Iraq, well before their intelligence product was tarnished by political interference from top commanders in 2014 aimed at diminishing the threat from ISIS.

Here’s what the report, originally stamped SECRET, actually says:

 AQI, through the spokesman of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), Abu Muhammad al- Adnani… is calling on the Sunnis in Iraq, especially the tribes in the border regions (between Iraq and Syria), to wage war against the Syrian regime…

Opposition forces are trying to control the eastern areas (Hasaka and Der Zor) adjacent to the Western Iraqi provinces (Mosul and Anbar), in addition to neighboring Turkish borders. Western countries, the Gulf States and Turkey are supporting these efforts… [emphasis mine]

There is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria (Hasak and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want…

It is no secret that the United States was supporting the Syrian opposition in 2012 and even until very recently. In December 2012, thanks in large measure to the active lobbying of Mrs. Clinton and U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford, Obama declared that the United States considered the opposition as “the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.”

What was secret until the release of this August 2012 defense intelligence report is that the United States knew that the Syrian opposition was dominated by al Qaeda in Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq, groups that merged and morphed into what today we call ISIS.

So Donald Trump is literally correct. Obama and Hillary created ISIS. They figure among the founding fathers of the world’s most brutal terrorist organization. They deserve ISIS Most Valuable Player awards for their efforts.

Some of America’s enemies, such as Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran, have also accused the United States of creating ISIS – but as a tool for encroaching on Iran’s efforts to dominate the Muslim world. In fact, Obama and Hillary’s policies have simultaneously favored Iran and its rise to regional dominance, standing aside as Iran filled the vacuum in Iraq with its own militias and allowing Iranian troops and weapons to flow onto battlefields in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Libya and beyond.

Other documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that the United States was also complicit with arms shipments from Benghazi to the jihadi rebel groups in Syria.

These particular shipments were distinct from the more publicized case of al Entisar, a Libyan fishing vessel that arrived in Iskanderiyah, Turkey, crammed with weapons in late August 2012.

The shipments described in this recently declassified document were sent directly to small Syrian ports under rebel control and included RPG grenade-launchers, sniper rifles, and ammunition for 125mm and 155mm howitzers.

As I revealed two years ago, the U.S. backed arms shipments to ISIS and its allies in Syria appear to have been run out of the White House by then-counterterrorism advisor (and current CIA director) John Brennan. Running the clandestine arms shipments outside official channels allowed Obama and his allies – including Mrs. Clinton, who supported the arms shipments – to withhold that information from Congress.

Deflecting attention from these arms shipments is precisely why Obama and Hillary hatched their “blame-it-on-a-YouTube-video” narrative as the cause of the Benghazi attacks. It was a deliberate deception to trick the American people and cover-up their misdeeds.

Obama’s disastrous withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from Iraq in December 2011 clearly enhanced the ability of AQI and ISI to seize control of large portions of Iraqi territory and certainly contributed to the birth of ISIS. It also opened the door for Iran to fill the vacuum.

But as the August 2012 defense intelligence report states, that was the plan all along. Obama and Hillary wanted to create an ISIS-controlled enclave in Syria, “in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).”

Donald Trump was right. Again.

More of the Same Will Not Help You

/in , , , /by

Want extreme poverty?  Then by all means, vote for Hillary Clinton.  There is an old saying that the proud citizens of Michigan have said to me many times.  “As Detroit goes, so goes the nation.”  That proclamation is an old holdover from the days when Detroit was the undisputed motor capital of the world.  There was a time when Detroit automaker General Motors was the largest and most influential company of any kind on earth.  Detroit’s other manufacturing heavyweights included Ford, Chrysler, Dodge and the largest network of auto supplier companies in the world.

Until the end of the year 1966, Detroit was the wealthiest city in America and perhaps the world on a per capita basis.  After a lengthy history of successful republican mayors, in the year of 1962 Detroit voters took a political left turn and elected progressive democrat Jerome Cavanagh.  After only five years of a preponderance of socialist leaning policies and the negatives outcomes that accompany them, Detroit experienced the largest urban riot in American history in 1967

Quite often, rather than seeking real solutions to the problems plaguing the onetime industrial behemoth, Detroit city government totally turned away from the blessed capitalist principles that had made that city an American cornerstone of industry.

So after five decades and counting, it would seem that the voters in Detroit and other urban centers would grow tired of such weariness and seek a more economically viable situation.  But just like their socialist leaning counterparts in places like Venezuela, they seem unable to comprehend that maybe trying something different might render a more positive living outcome.  Unfortunately, far too many urban oriented Americans have allowed many generations of their children to be brainwashed to the point that they are seemingly unable to appreciate, or even desire a better way.

In fact, people in places like Detroit are more in favor of centralized heavy handed government over America.  Therein lies their overwhelming support for Mrs. Clinton for president.  Also, American government schools have done a masterful job of brain damaging so many students that on one hand they decry past slavery, yet on the other they complain of the lack of opportunity.

But when principles and viable solutions to lack, that have worked are presented, the brainwashed urbanites show vigorous disdain and often hurl accusations of racism.  Meanwhile, their standard of living continues to decline and the misery of poverty continues to be their way of life.

Before the first election of president Barack Obama I had warned listeners to my syndicated radio commentary (The Edwards Notebook) that Obama wants to do to America what has been done to Detroit.  Unfortunately, I was correct about Mr. Obama’s intentions toward America.  At every single opportunity, the president either blocked needed projects like the Keystone pipeline. He also continued to enact a record number of executive orders, making it more difficult to open or operate a viable business in the United States.

If Obama and Mrs. Clinton have their way, the United States will go the way of Venezuela.  Ultimately, as the American government centralizes more power in Washington D.C. it becomes a bigger drain on our overall economy and more indifferent to our unalienable rights.

Speaking of unalienable rights, urban dwellers who stupidly support president Obama no matter what are being trashed by Obama’s open border policy.  He allows a nonstop flow of both illegal immigrants and American hating Muslim refugees into the country and directly compete with black Americans for the shrinking level of opportunities available due to Obama’s dreadful economic policies.  But still, America’s black urbanites are in favor of the president and are prepared to support and vote for Margaret Sanger award winner, Mrs. Clinton in her quest for the presidency.

Unfortunately, every year more and more indoctrinated college graduates join the ranks of socialist loving black Americans who clamor for the most progressive candidates and equate that with being black. It seems that the more political candidates promote ideas that gravitate toward economic misery, the more black Americans are ready to vote for them and then will turn around and blame republicans for their worsening problems.  One of the biggest indicators of the success of government school brainwashing efforts, is how black Americans support the flooding of our republic with illegal immigrants and hateful Muslims.  They even approve of illegal immigrants and hateful Muslims being allowed to vote.

No wonder Russian dictator Nikita Khrushchev decades ago go said “we shall bury you.”  He was pointing out what would happen if or when, progressives control the education of America’s children they would be brainwashed into supporting America’s decline and demise.

As you consider the crossroads our nation now faces, please remember that if you want to live life more abundantly, there must be a noticeable reduction in the size, scope and influence of the centralized federal government.  If not, we could soon witness America ending up like Detroit or even worse, like Venezuela.  Choose, but choose wisely, for the life you affect will be your own.

Will the Liberal Media give Trump the White House like it did the GOP nomination?

/in , , , , /by

I was speaking to a friend of mine who said that the liberal media gave Donald Trump the GOP nomination believing he was the weakest Republican candidate to go up against Hillary Clinton. The liberal media succeeded beyond all expectations. Donald Trump is now the GOP Presidential nominee.

Will the liberal media (e.g. NT Times, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Instagram, CNN, MSNBC, CBS and ABC) give the Donald a twofer? Are they unknowingly helping propel Mr. Trump into the White House?

In their enthusiasm to support Hillary, at all cost, and make Trump look the buffoon they may have over stepped, causing a sympathetic backlash. Is the mainstream media proving Trump’s point that the political system is rigged?

The nightly media bias has now turned into a “rabid hate of all things Trump.”

In a Boston Herald column titled Media bias could wind up helping Donald Trump Chris Cassidy writes:

Rampant mainstream media bias against Donald Trump could play right into the GOP presidential candidate’s hands, sparking a sympathetic backlash from voters who see unfair press hits as a heavy-handed shadow campaign to boost Hillary Clinton, experts said 
yesterday.

“His way of thinking is, if I take a battering ram and hit the door long enough, it doesn’t matter what I say, they’ll distort it, and eventually that will hit critical mass and people will turn on the media and Hillary,” said Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University.

“The ultimate objective would be sometime in October he will have succeeded to say, ‘You pick on me, but Hillary does the same or even worse and you don’t report or discredit it,’ and people will be more sympathetic to him,” Hanson said.

[ … ]

But overhyping Trump’s extreme comments may feed into the very narrative Trump is pushing — that the media is out to get him and put Clinton in the White House, 
political operatives said.

“It feeds into this system-is-rigged thing really well, that this is all the Washington media,” said New Hampshire Republican strategist Dave Carney. “Yeah, it will help him.”

Pentagon: Iran Improving Cyber Abilities, Long Range Missiles Since Nuclear Deal

/in , , , /by

Donald Trump recently said that President Obama was the “founder” and Hillary Clinton ‘co-founded’ the Islamic State (ISIS). The word ‘founded’ was incorrect. What Obama and Clinton did is they enabled the creation of ISIS and enabled the meteoric rise and strength of Iran as America’s and the world’s greatest nuclear/cyber/Middle East threat.

There are at least two ways to enable an enemy.

  1. One is to ignore it until it amasses substantial military power as happened in the case of Germany prior to the Second World War. This is precisely what Obama did by characterizing ISIS as a ‘junior varsity’ which has now spread its influence around the world.
  2. The other way of enabling an enemy is by providing it with financial, economic and diplomatic support to allow it to amass destructive military power. This is precisely what the team of Obama, Kerry and Clinton have done.

Both former Secretary Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama have a mission accomplished banner flying over the Middle East.

Iran Improving Cyber Abilities, Missiles Since Nuclear Deal, Pentagon Says

By Nick Wadhams and Anthony Capaccio

Iran has gradually improved its offensive cyber abilities and developed more advanced ballistic missiles since signing an accord last year to curb its nuclear program, the U.S. Defense Department said. The Islamic Republic now has a “substantial inventory of missiles capable of reaching targets throughout the region, including U.S. military bases and Israel,” according to an unclassified summary from a Pentagon assessment of Iran’s military prowess, prepared for Congress.

The report also reiterated that Iran is pressing ahead with covert activities. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is still trying to improve its ability to “support and carry out” terrorist attacks that advance its interests, the Defense Department said. (Bloomberg)

Trump Should Double Down On Muslim Ban

/in , , , , , , /by

If America is at war with an ideology, would it not make perfect sense to ban those coming into our country who adhere to that same doctrine? Yet Trump was vilified by the left when he said last December that he wanted, “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”

Some would argue that a religious test to screen immigrants is unconstitutional, but Andrew McCarthy disagrees and points out the religious litmus test was only to be used for those wanting to enter public office. He went on further to verify our right to vet immigrants through what their beliefs are. He said,

“And just as we have a right to consider the religious convictions of candidates for public office, so too do we have a right to require scrutiny of the beliefs of aliens who petition for entry into our country — a privilege we are under no obligation to confer. This includes beliefs the alien may regard as tenets of his faith — especially if such “faith tenets” involve matters of law, governance, economy, combat, and interpersonal relations that, in our culture’s separation of church and state, are not seen as spiritual.”

Trump’s vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, has tried to soften Trump’s meaning by backing away from that original statement, as the Republican candidate for President has as well. They both seem to go back and forth from barring Muslims temporarily to banning all immigrants from countries sponsoring terrorism. In a recent radio interview Pence said,

“That’s what Donald Trump and I are calling for now, is to have a temporary suspension of immigration from countries or territories compromised by terrorism, and I believe that’s an appropriate action given the horrendous, horrendous violence that we see,”

However, Trump needs to double down on his suggested ban of Muslims. He needs to do this because it makes sense. Trump’s support and following grew huge because he made common sense statements that he didn’t apologize for, and he should continue to do so in the future. Americans, as a whole, are wary of politicians’ apologies. You can’t take one step in the political arena without stepping on them.

When Trump proposed the ban on Muslims he was essentially identifying who the enemy claims to be, something the Obama administration has yet to do. And no wonder, if you name the enemy, which in my mind is the Islamic ideology, then actions should follow that definition. This is why Obama will always steer clear of defining it.

Nobody wants to come out and say all Muslims are the enemy, but the ideology embraced by those responsible for committing terrorist attacks every 84 hours just happen to follow Islam. That is not some crazy coincidence.

The ban suggested by Trump is also why the left has bound together with the Muslim community to defeat Trump. After all, they can’t abide the thought of not coexisting with all the movements in America who are attacking God-given freedoms.

The left has to stick together, you know. Even in the face of all the Islamic terrorism with machetes, buses, knives, bombs and yes, even guns. They cannot allow themselves to come to grip with the fact that all of these attacks are driven and inspired by an ideology that is embraced by Muslims. That just wouldn’t fit their world view.

Wonder if those jumping all over Trump about being xenophobic, Islamophobic, etc., ever consider what is happening across the ocean in Europe? In fact there was a recent debate concerning the delegalizing of Islam in Poland. One of the debaters was Miriam Shaded, president of the Estera-Fund, who gave several points as to why Islam should be outlawed in her country. When asked her reasoning behind the criminalization, Shadad said,

“It is against the Constitution, those who leave Islam have to fear death. Islam calls for violence and its attempts to bring this system and ideology to power in certain countries, into certain structures-with the use of violence…Their approach towards women, discrimination, beatings, molestation, necrophilia, zoophilia, all that is legitimized by the Qu’ran.”

Her supposed opponent, Lesek Samorski, found it difficult to counter her reasoning and ended up agreeing with her as far as characterizing Islam, but differed as far as how to go about discouraging the criminal acts perpetrated by Muslims in Poland. He stated,

“…I am absolutely against what is happening now-the Islamic hordes that want to enter Europe…We had problems with them for centuries and we solved them with fire and sword.”

One thing is for sure, this debate over what to do with the Islamic ideology and Muslims who adhere to it is far from over. From deciding if Muslims should be banned from entry into the country, to deciding whether or not to allow them to legally follow the Qu’ran is a serious issue, and it must be determined.

Further, a discussion and study to whether Islam should even be classified as a religion verses a cult or a major political ideology needs to be happening in the public arena. And our leaders need to define the enemy and act accordingly.

A strong leader says what he means, and makes no adjustments. Winston Churchill said this about the religion, and nothing transformational has taken place within Islam since.

“But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance...It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness.”

Right after the Pulse Islamic attack in Florida the Muslim ban had a majority of support by the Republicans, but has since waned. Americans need to come to a decision about whether they support the ban or not, and stick with it. And if public support continues to be fickle, Trump just needs to wait for the next jihadi attack to propose it again. We all know it is just a matter of time.

2016: The Election Bigger than any Candidate

/in , , , /by

In a nation intended to be self-governed by and for the people themselves under the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the tradition of becoming campaign star struck by any person seeking an office of public service is strange in and of itself. It seems Americans have developed a self-destructive habit of treating wannabe politicians like movie stars and elected public servants like royalty. Then they sit and wonder why their “heroes” see the people as mere peasants…

Much of the time, an election seems no more important than which restaurant to pick on date night, as life seems to just keep rolling along no matter the outcome of an election. But once in a while, an election is so critical that it threatens the very life, liberty and happiness of every American. That election is bigger than any candidate.

Such is the case in 2016…

I was born one of six children and have two of my own now, one in college, the other soon to be. Their K-12 experience was quite different than my own, almost every child they met, from a broken home, a family in some form and level of crisis, and we live in one of the finest areas of the country.

Unlike when I was growing up, some of their schoolmates died of a drug overdose or committed suicide before they could graduate high school. A few were pregnant before they could even enter high school. Many were “confused” about their sexuality, were bullied into a deep depression, or destroyed by the social media rumor mill, as they watched others their own age gunned down by classmates in cities across the country.

No, their America was not my America. We were experiencing two very different America’s.

In the America I grew up in, it took a good family to raise a decent human being. The America my kids were growing up in didn’t want good parents to raise children anymore… they wanted society at large, “the village” to raise the children and there was nothing decent about it. The commune was raising a generation of indecent young people and pitting them against their parents, their country and even themselves.

My kids called our home “Williams Island,” where things worked very differently from the rest of the world, according to my children, who were quite certain at the time that mom and I simply “did not understand how the real world works now.” Because the world was so different, my kids often thought of “Williams Island” as a maximum security prison. Much of what was acceptable in “the real world” was simply not acceptable on “Williams Island.”

My kids were right about one thing – the world is very different now. It’s not the America that I grew up in.

By 2016, a known card-carrying Marxist Bernie Sanders seemed the best hope for the future to the young voter. In their minds, having been raised by the commune and indoctrinated in K-12 and on the college campus to believe that freedom and liberty were evil imperialist ideas and the greater good of the commune was good, they gathered behind Sanders as if he was the pied piper of American Marxism.

In the end, they watched their hopes for a devoted Marxist go up in flames as Sanders sold them out by endorsing known criminal Marxist Hillary Clinton at the summer DNC Convention. Angered by the sell-out of their Marxist hero Bernie, they exited the convention in protest, leaving only a smattering of DNC delegates in the convention hall by the time Clinton took the stage for her “historic” speech as the “first female presidential nominee” in U.S. history.

History was being made alright enough… but the gender of the candidate had nothing to do with it. The open outright theft of a nomination was historical in nature and every Bernie Sanders supporter knew it. The young had just gotten their first taste of rotten DNC politics and they didn’t like it.

Meanwhile, over in the Republican Party, voters watched as a record seventeen GOP primary candidates were eliminated one-by-one, state-by-state until only one GOP candidate would remain standing, the dark horse outsider Donald Trump, who was drawing passionate reaction from both those who love him and those who hate him.

Throughout his private sector career as a builder of things, Trump was well-known as an unapologetic self-promoter – a loud and sometimes brash public figure who had seemed to master the art of free publicity by simply tossing verbal grenades into the news room and waiting for someone to react. Trump spent less money defeating sixteen GOP opponents than Clinton spent defeating Bernie Sanders, just because he knows how to play the media for free exposure.

But some of those antics frustrated some and confounded his opponents, while it mesmerized others. Many who had spoken out against political correctness in the past, were now calling for Trump to “tone it down” and become more “politically correct” (a.k.a. presidential) in his messaging. They wanted Trump to stop ruffling the feathers of DC insiders and their minions in the press.

Now that we have covered the “candidate” part of the 2016 election, let me get to the real issue of the 2016 election… an issue bigger than any candidate.

It does not matter if you love Trump or hate Trump. What matters is whether or not you love America… not the America my kids had to grow up in after decades of leftist influence in America, but the America that I grew up in, before leftists destroyed my country.

In the America that I grew up in, not only did we all own guns at a young age, many of us carried them with us to school because we were going hunting either before or after school. No one ever brandished a weapon at a schoolmate or shot anyone.

There was no social media, where kids could “cyber-bully” each other until someone shot their bullies or themselves. The victim didn’t receive the same punishment as the bully in a world where “equality” meant that both attacker and victim were guilty of the crime.

Authority figures had authority because they lived by and enforced the rule of law, not because they were above the law. The laws pertained to and were equally applied to everyone, regardless of race, creed or color. The pledge of allegiance and morning prayer was not only welcome in every classroom, but encouraged in every facet of American life.

Politicians weren’t movie stars or royalty, they were public servants, elected by the people to represent the will of the majority without any right to trample on any minority through political process. Lying and cheating was an unacceptable behavior, as opposed to today, when even tyranny, treachery and treason appear to be totally acceptable behaviors, seldom even reported by the press or held to account by the voters.

2016 must be a turning point election, or it will be the point of no return election.

The 2016 election is not an election about Hillary Clinton, the first criminal Marxist female candidate, or Donald Trump, the bombastic business mogul outsider. It is an election about much more than any candidate, party or partisan interest item.

2016 is the final tipping point for America.

The point at which America votes itself off the cliff, into a Marxist global abyss run by criminals and tyrants, or votes to inch its way back from the cliff, buying itself a little time, not for Trump to “Make America Great Again,” a worthy cause which no one person is capable of achieving alone, but for Americans to make America great again.

It really has very little if anything to do with Donald Trump. Love him, hate him, it makes no difference.

Trump is a human being… He is one man. He is less than perfect, just like every other human being. He may fully intend to “Make America Great Again,” and I hope he is sincere in that endeavor. He is a very capable human being, as proven by his personal track record of achievements. But he is still just one imperfect man, alone, incapable of the lofty goal he has set as the foundation of his campaign.

Only Americans can Make America Great Again

More than at any time in my life, the 2016 election is a make-or-break election. It’s not about Trump or Clinton. It’s about what kind of America we want as American citizens – The kind I grew up in, or the kind my kids were forced to grow up in, where “Williams Island” was the only safe and secure refuge from the so-called “real world” we all find ourselves forced to tolerate these days.

Do we want a decent America, or the indecent America that the global political left has forced upon us all for decades now? Do we want a free, sovereign and secure America, or do we want to be part of a borderless global Marxist commune where everyone is equally destitute?

The 2016 election is just that simple, and just that important.

trumped book coverThis column is why Timothy Harrington and I decided to write and release our first book, TRUMPED: The New American Revolution… not a book about mere politics, or a cheer leading book for any political candidate.

The American people simply must know the whole truth about who and what we are fighting in this country today, or they are certain to lose the 2016 election and their country forever. Like the election, the book TRUMPED has nothing to do with any candidate. It is about a movement spreading across America in a last ditch effort to walk America back from the brink of extinction.

I don’t believe that American voters can or will make the right choices in November without knowing what that choice is really all about. If voters allow themselves to be hoodwinked again by their press and the party machinery, they will get this election wrong, just as they did in 2008 and 2012.

This time, they will lose their country for good. If the price of TRUMPED is too high for the future of this election, then we have already lost this election. Lose this election and you lost your country.

When America is no longer sovereign, free and secure, no place on earth will be…

Here’s a comment about TRUMPED that just arrived this morning from an accomplished literary expert who simply signed, Char!

Dear JB,

TRUMPED is just splendid. It’s written with such dynamic momentum with no wandering around into side issues that many wannabe political writers use to expand less than solid presentations. Every paragraph is so well-crafted, and the facts supporting your reasoning are unassailable. Millions upon millions of American voters – ON BOTH SIDES! – should have this excellent political handbook – and ELECTION GUIDE! No one could vote for the deeply and irrevocably corrupt status quo after reading this valuable treatise.

Every chapter is a gem of analytical persuasion, but the section that focuses on the deadly harm that has been done over the past 15 years by unfettered immigration – both from over the southern border but from Islamic populations – is tremendous.

I sincerely hope that you, your colleague and close political allies have already targeted powerful groups who are working with you to get this book wide distribution. If enough Americans read it, it could be a game changer.

Be well. Have faith and trust in our Creator. I feel that there will be Divine Intervention in this season of poisonous snakes that – so far- has strangled our blessed America.

Sincerely…………and a big BRAVO to you!

Char
