  1. REVEALED: Town in the heart of Europe where ONLY Arabic can be spoken and Arabs can live
    PROTESTS are taking place in a town in Bosnia-Herzegovina because only Arabs are allowed and most of the houses contain the third or fourth wives of wealthy sheikhs.

    Locals are fuming because they are are only allowed into the site in the south-eastern Europe country if they are servants or cleaners.

    The complex is surrounded by heavy security, gates and high walls and the locals think it is unlawful for foreigners to buy up part of the country and then ban them from entering.

    Women reportedly bring up their children there and their husbands are just occasional visitors.

  2. BRACED FOR ARMAGEDDON Terrifying footage shows Russian soldiers prepare for nuclear war during drill involving 40million people

    The four-day test saw emergency services practice how to deal with casualties in the event of an atomic strike

    Soldiers were seen carrying away ‘victims’ of a nuclear attack while civilians scampered into protective tents.

    More than 200,000 emergency service staff are believed to have taken part in the drill.

    Capital Moscow’s entire population of 12 million would be able to fit into refurbished underground shelters, Russian authorities confirmed.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2059389/terrifying-footage-shows-russian-soldiers-prepare-for-nuclear-war-during-drill-involving-40million-people/

    Richard: This really isn’t as scary as the paper is making it sound, the Soviet Union never accepted the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction. While the left in the west convinced people that you could never survive a nuclear attack so there was no reason to try the Soviets keep building shelters and training people on how to survive a nuclear strike. Modern day Russia is just continuing that preparation and training.

    Personally I find the Russian attitude more moral then the idea of the governments doing nothing to help their citizens survive.

  3. Former Clinton Foundation CEO begging Russia for ‘urgent and immediate’ asylum?

    Some of the emails that have come to the public’s attention via WikiLeaks are out-and-out bombshells, while other chains are so fragmented and enigmatic that an understanding of what they portend requires reconstruction and some guesswork.

    One that fits the latter category centers on an exchange between Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and Neera Tanden, of the hard-left Center for American Progress, concerning an apparent leak that needed — shall we say? — plugging?

    The original email was from Tanden to Podesta, dated March 8, 2015 and time-stamped 4:49 p.m. Here’s the message:

    http://libertyunyielding.com/2016/10/26/former-clinton-foundation-ceo-begging-russia-for-urgent-and-immediate-asylum/

    Richard: This one is still unconfirmed (as far as I know) but is interesting for several reasons: 1) It appears to show a Clinton insider who is scared that someone near or among the Clintons will order his death. 2) It shows the man running to Russia for protection. Has the West sunk so low that people are running to Russia for protection from our politicians? Yes Snowdon went there for protection but that could have been a one off, a second person could be the beginning of a trend.

  4. Terrorism trial against four Chechen begins in Bialymstok, Poland.
    Four Chechens go on trial on terrorism-related charges., they face charges of supporting ISIS with money, recruitment and material help. The group was active in 2014 in Bialymstok, Lomza, Warszawa and in Turkey.
    The process will be open despite the requests for closed process by both defense attorney and by the prosecution.
    All four Chechen were in Poland legally, as refugees.

  5. If you find the Donald Duck campaign against Trump as childish remember this:

    Flashback: Clinton administration reacted to Bush win over Gore by causing $14K in damages to WH

    Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said she hopes GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will gracefullt accept the election results if he loses, allowing for a seamless transition. Yet, former President Bill Clinton’s administration left the White House in less than optimal conditions when former President George W. Bush was elected in 2000.

    Clinton staffers, who were angry over Al Gore’s loss to Bush, intentionally created somewhere between $13,000 and $14,000 in damages, a 2002 report by The Government Accountability Office shows. The report confirmed that the acts of “theft, vandalism, and pranks” occurred shortly after the election results were announced.

    Some of the most costly destruction included $4,850 spent to replace keyboards that had the letter “W” ripped off, $2,040 on cell phones that were destroyed or could not be located, and $1,150 spent on professional cleaning services.

    Graffiti on walls and furniture included messages like “Hail to the Thief” written on desk drawers and “What W did to democracy, you are about to do in here” penned in the men’s restroom.

    Then-Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri, who now works for Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, downplayed the damages after the report was published.

  6. Obama’s White House Kept List of Muslims For Top Jobs
    This sort of short listing is common where government offices have to be filled around the world and for many different groups.

    The Obama administration collected lists of Muslim candidates for jobs in the Obama administration, according to previously unseen emails sent to the chair of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign John Podesta and released by Wikileaks. Podesta was also a former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton.

    Dating from 2008, the email refers to a list of Muslim leaders vetted for top jobs within the administration (it does not provide the list). The author, Preeta Bansal, adds three points by way of explanation, the first of which is as follows:

    “In the candidates for top jobs, I excluded those with some Arab American background but who are not Muslim (e.g., George Mitchell). Many Lebanese Americans, for example, are Christian. In the last list (of outside boards/commissions), most who are listed appear to be Muslim American, except that a handful (where noted) may be Arab American but of uncertain religion (esp. Christian).”

    You can read the full email here.

    This paragraph has drawn the ire of commentators who see this as evidence that Obama’s White House was deliberately excluding Christians from senior positions. While that does seem to have been the case where this list is concerned, we do not know who, if anyone, was hired on the basis of this list.

  7. Federal Government Drops Counter-Extremism Scheme
    A federal scheme to establish counseling teams to engage with youths at risk of radicalization was dropped after objections from Muslim groups.

    An FBI-led program to establish “shared responsibility committees” to intervene at an early stage to prevent or counteract radicalization was canceled, according to USA Today. The committees would have included mental health workers, clergy and counselors in local communities.

    Several pilot schemes were reportedly set up in New Jersey and several selected cities to provide support and rehabilitation for those at risk. The committees would provide psychiatric care, help deal with family or anger issues and other considerations not requiring a law-enforcement response.

    Yet Muslim civil society leaders pushed back against the scheme, saying it risked discrediting the community leaders involved, thus alienating them from the very people they would need to talk to for the scheme to work.

    “So many concerns were raised about how this would be structured and how would this play out and what would this look like,” Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute told media. “The answers were not very good.”

    Similar concerns about government involvement in civilian counter-extremism efforts were raised in other places, such as the UK. There the government’s “Prevent” strategy has been strongly criticized over fears it turns clergy into spies against their own community.

    In December 2015, a coalition of imams from East London accused the government’s strategy of “spying on our young people” and “increasing division and to a breakdown of trust in schools and colleges.”

  8. Father Pardons Self for Honor Killing Daughter; Set Free
    A new law in Pakistan mandates a life sentence for honor killing, but the accused — with the consent of the judge –was able make use of a loophole.

    A father who murdered his daughter in an honor killing in Pakistan has pardoned himself and his accomplices and been acquitted by a court due to a legal loophole.

    Faqeer Muhammad, his son and a nephew murdered his daughter, Kiran Bibi, and her alleged loved, Ghulam Abbas “to save the family’s honor” in 2014.

    Abbas’ mother, Azmat Bibi, pressed charges against the three murders, but later she requested that the charges be registered as a “compoundable” offense. A compoundable offense is a legal status that allows the complainant to enter into a compromise and agree to have the charges dropped against the accused.

    The court agreed that the charges would be registered as a compoundable after Azmat and her son pardoned the accused, saying they did not object to an acquittal, and waived their rights to qisas (retribution) and diyat (blood money).

    It is unknown whether or not Azmat and her son were coerced into making such a request to the court.

    As the legal heirs to their daughter, Faqeer and his wife also stated to the court that they “forgave the accused.”

    Subsequently, the judge ruled that the charges had become “groundless” and that since “there is no chance of conviction at all,” he acquitted the accused.

  9. Catholics in Syria Plead to US: Stop Supporting Rebels
    Fear mounts that the US does not understand the rebels’ political agenda to establish a fundamentalist Islamist state in post-war Syria.

    A number of Catholic leaders in Syria issued a statement pleading with the U.S. and other Western governments to stop supporting rebel groups.

    Published in Catholic World Report, the statement, attributed to Archbishop Jean Clement, the Melike Catholic leader in Aleppo, read: “Please help us to pull our country back from the abyss of the fundamentalist regime in which they are trying to immerse us.

    “Just stop selling arms to the terrorists,” begged Father Mtanios Haddad, a Melkite now serving in Rome. Haddad said three crucial actions are needed:

  10. Iran Poised to Increase Influence Peddling on American Colleges
    Given US universities’ history of welcoming Islamist funding and operatives, stopping this before it further metastasizes is imperative.

    The American academy, which has revealed itself to be markedly susceptible to the intrigues of the Saudi-based radical Wahhabi sect and the Muslim Brotherhood, now faces the challenge of an Iranian radical presence.

    Since 2014, admission of Iranian students to U.S. colleges has been permitted by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Iran has yet to flood the U.S. with its own professors.

    Nevertheless, there are indications that an Iranian wave may soon hit the American academic community. A network of apologists for the Iranian clerical regime already exists within the Middle East studies departments of American educational institutions.

    How much will this attitude grow in light of the Obama administration’s turn toward Tehran?

  11. Interviews Give Insight into Islamic State’s Misogynistic Views
    New interviews aim to try to gain some understanding as to why ISIS members view women as holding a lower status.

    By now it probably comes as no surprise that Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) members are not interested in treating women who are outside their particular “faith” as fellow humans, let alone equals.

    But this kind of treatment does not end there. It is also true of the female members of ISIS. Recent interviews conducted by journalist Sulome Anderson shed light on just how exactly ISIS members view women and what the experience is like of those women who are captured by them.

    An ISIS member interviewed by Anderson who currently sits in prison in Kirkuk, Iraq said of his wife, “My wife completely covered her body and face and never left the house without me…She is forbidden from going anywhere without me.”

    He told Anderson that his wife was supposed to meet him in Kirkuk, where he was meant to join a sleeper cell, but he was arrested. Now, having been incarcerated for more than four months, she is likely married to someone else – something that is allowed by Islamic law (sharia) as interpreted by ISIS.

    But he doesn’t stop there. When asked how his wife may feel about this, he stated, “[My wife] is just a woman, like every other woman…Women exist to be married and have children. In jihad, feelings do not matter. Women survive; they do not live.”

  12. Palestinians: Jihadi-Style Child Abuse
    Where are the “Human Rights” Groups?

    Children have long become an integral part of “military” parades held in the Gaza Strip by various Palestinian groups. But this form of child abuse does not seem to bother human rights organizations or the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), whose declared goal is to “work for a world in which every child has a fair chance in life and a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential — to the benefit of a better world.” It seems that UNICEF does not believe that its mandate extends to Palestinian children, who are exploited to serve the interests of Islamist groups.

    In the Gaza Strip, children are taught not only to hate Israel, but also to prepare themselves for jihad (holy war) against the “Zionist enemy.” Hamas, the Islamic Jihad Movement, and other radical groups see children as future “soldiers” in the war to eliminate Israel. They raise children to regard suicide bombers and jihadis as role models.

    Children in this world do not dream about becoming doctors, pilots or engineers. Rather, they dream of destroying Israel and “liberating Palestine.” In fact, an entire generation of Palestinians, particularly those in the Gaza Strip, has been raised on the glorification of suicide bombers and anyone who kills a Jew. With enough sacrifices, they are taught, the destruction of Israel is not a far-fetched dream. They alone embody the future hope of the Palestinians to see Israel removed from the face of the earth. Forget becoming a physician: their job is to continue what their fathers failed to achieve.

    • Palestinian Children Given Knives and Sent to Attack Jews

      The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday apprehended two Palestinian children carrying knives near the Jewish community of Migdal Oz in the West Bank. According to the Walla! news site, the two eight-year-olds told investigators, “They took us by car, gave us knives and told us to go do terrorist attacks.”

      • “Palestinian Children Given Knives and Sent to Attack Jews”

        Their can be no more damning indictment of any culture on earth than this:

        “Palestinians” devour their young.

        The rapacity of Hamas and Fatah is as unlimited as their embrace of barbarism. This single and fundamental equation which defines the jihadist mindset is what promises a final confrontation that will see Islam either forever transcendent or utterly annihilated. As a corollary: there will be no middle ground (an option that was long ago expunged from the terrain of Islam’s ideological atlas).

        In light of which particular global powers hold the overwhelming majority of this world’s nuclear weapons, it’s safe to say that my money isn’t on Islam.

        For those who are unfamiliar with the works of long-time counterjihad blogger, “Wretchard” (i.e., Richard Fernandez), please consider reading his superb magnum opus:

        The Three Conjectures
        http://belmontclub.blogspot.com/2003/09/three-conjectures-pew-poll-finds-40-of.html

        An excerpt:
        ——————————–
        The most startling result of this analysis is that *a catastrophic outcome for Islam is guaranteed whether America retaliates or not*. Even if the President decided to let all Americans die to expiate their historical guilt, why would Islamic terrorists stop after that? They would move on to Europe and Asia until finally China, Russia, Japan, India or Israel, none of them squeamish, wrote -1 x 10^9 in the final right hand column. They too would be prisoners of the same dynamic, and they too have weapons of mass destruction.
        ——————————–
        Written over a DOZEN years ago, “The Three Conjectures” is as relevant today as it was when freshly penned back in 2003. The noteworthy shelf life of Wretchard’s brilliant polemic is a direct byproduct of Islam’s fixed determination and (barely trailing by a nose) the jellyfish-like spinelessness (redundant, I know) of Multicultural, Politically Correct, Western leadership.

        While Islam’s biggest enemy is (always has been, and forever will be) its own obdurate self, the abject refusal of Western powers to both identify AND *effectively prosecute* jihadist terrorism rapidly is tipping the scales away from whatever dwindling prospect of Islamic transcendence and, instead, weighing heavily in favor of annihilation. Mitigating concepts like reconciliation or accommodation have no place in this whatsoever (thanks entirely to Islam).

        Most repulsive of all is the total *avoidability* of this horrific (and increasingly probable) outcome. Even now, swift retribution by Western powers, using massively disproportionate (non-nuclear) retaliation, against the indoctrinators, financiers, perpetrators, trainers, and sponsors of global jihad easily could avert this otherwise inevitable catastrophe.

        By now, many of you have probably realized that, regardless of how everyone boasts about *fighting* terrorism, nobody ever talks about actually *ENDING* terrorism. The political resolve required for achieving such a goal would necessarily have to be impervious against accusations of:

        Racism (even though Muslims are not an identifiable *race*)

        Advocating genocide (despite how, given the least opportunity, Islam would liquidate innumerable ethnic groups; *Jews first*)

        Being “Islamophobic” (as if a fear of Islam is somehow irrational or unjustified)

        Intolerance (which willfully disregards Islam’s merciless rejection of the slightest challenge or dissent)

        Charges of inciting a so-called “act of racial or religious hatred” (that totally ignores how the Koran is a veritable encyclopedia of “hate speech”)

        Need I go on?!? (Don’t all speak up at once.)

        Rest assured that there is no small measure of irony in how Donald Trump’s conspicuous diplomatic incompetence could, just as easily, confer upon him a substantial degree of immunity (earned or not) to the foregoing roster of Politically Correct charges.

        Regardless of my personal dislike for Donal Trump, I have long maintained that, despite every inevitable gaffe, blunder, misstep, and lamentable faux pas that a President Trump would likely commit in office, if his one singular achievement was to break the spine of American Political Correctness, that preceding laundry list of executive errors would be redeemed *a thousand times or more*.

        In closing, any prospect of giving Hillary Clinton well over a thousand days to further cement her vision of a politically sanitized and special-interest-dominated federal administration, dedicated to the globalization of America’s assets in the name of “Progressive” aims which will obliterate Western Civilization (especially White culture), isn’t just objectionable, it is a *crime against humanity* and should be juridically adjudicated as such.

        • …everyone boasts about *fighting* terrorism, nobody ever talks about actually *ENDING* terrorism.

          They don’t really want to, that’s all. For whatever reasons or none at all. Shadowy, collective “they” – the elites, global goblins.

          Only so much we can achieve in those rarified spheres. But by no means does that justify passive surrender.

          We – you and me – retain personal responsibility for the choices we make till the last breath we take. It’s life or the zombie shahada.

          The focus has to be on tactics: how can we protect our own? Ourselves, our loved ones, and those who shelter under our tent. For those who choose life, every individual soul counts.

  13. Are Canada’s Islamists Calling the Shots?
    Government Petitioned to Silence Critics

    Samer Majzoub from Quebec has initiated an official Government of Canada petition to the House of Commons. The sponsor of the petition is Liberal Member of Parliament Frank Baylis. The petition calls upon the government to condemn all forms of Islamophobia.

    Samer Majzoub self identifies as being part of multiple Islamist (extremist) organization in Quebec, including the (in)famous Al-Rawdaw Mosque[1] and the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). MAC itself states that they follow the teachings of Hassan Banna and the Muslim Brotherhood. ­­ If there was any doubt, a senior member of MAC, Dr. El-Tantawi Attia, made it clear when he stated: “Here we follow the teachings of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

    The Muslim Brotherhood is listed as a terrorist group in many countries in the Middle East, while a recent UK government report states that the Muslim Brotherhood

    “have a highly ambiguous relationship with violent extremism. Both as an ideology and as a network it has been a rite of passage for some individuals and groups who have gone on to engage in violence and terrorism.”

    The Muslim Association of Canada itself has been identified in Canadian Senate testimony as being a Muslim Brotherhood front group.

    Accusations of racism and “Islamophobia” are the sword and shield of extremist Islam in the West. It makes excellent use of the concept of perpetual victimhood. The motto of the Muslim Brotherhood is:

    “Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

  14. The Mayor of London’s “My Side”

    Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, addressed the Chicago Council on Global Affairs (CCGA) on September 15. Although his topic was “The Breakdown of Social Integration – The Challenge of Our Age,” some crucial components of that challenge were notably absent from his presentation.

    Even though Mayor Khan said he believes that, “London is the powerhouse” for his country and is “proud that London was the only region in England to vote to remain in the European Union” (some boroughs voted 80% “Remain”), when it came to the United Kingdom as a whole, he said that “my side” lost the referendum.

    That strikes one as an odd way for the mayor of any city to talk. Isn’t he the Mayor of all of London? Aren’t the Londoners who voted for Brexit included on his “side”?
    Brexit Voters Want Self-Determination

    Mayor Khan claimed that for “Leave” voters, “immigration was the number one issue.” However, Lord Ashcroft’s mega-poll says otherwise. According to it, the number one issue for “Leave” (pro-Brexit) voters across Britain was “the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK.”

    In other words, the number one reason they backed Brexit was self-determination. “Leave” voters did not like European Union officials –people they did not elect — making laws that could overrule laws passed by British Parliament. Immigration and trade concerns were apparently less important.

  15. Iran Takes More Hostages: What Did the US Expect?

    Iran is not only detaining and arresting more Iranian-Americans, but also boasting about it and publicly asking for more money to release them.

    Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) pointed out recently: “We should wait and see, the U.S. will offer … many billions of dollars to release” two particular Iranian-American businessman, Siamak Namazi and his father Baquer Namazi.

    According to Alex Shirazi’s nuanced profile, Siamak Namazi was one of the intellectual architects of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), which has been accused of lobbying for the Iranian regime and pursuing policies that benefit themselves and the Iranian regime. Accordingly, the organization was founded “as a way to continuously lobby for the removal of sanctions against Iran and to promote Iran’s foreign policy, while combating the pro-Israel sentiment in America, according to documents from a Cyprus convention that featured the two men.”

    Mr. Namazi worked for Iran’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning from 1994 to 1996. He also joined a company in Tehran called Atieh Bahar Consulting (AB), which was founded by Pari Namazi and her husband, Bijan Khajehpour.

  16. WikiLeaks Exposes The Miss Universe Hit Job on Trump!
    By Jerry Johnson

    n the words of the Homicide Hunter Joe Kenda, “Well, my, my, my!” It would appear the Clinton Campaign had been scoping out and planning to misquote Donald Trump’s exchange with the disgraced former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, for almost a year.

    The truth of the hit job on Trump came as a new batch of emails from John Podesta, Campaign chair for Hillary Clinton, were made public.

    But before we get into the substance, I encourage you to watch the video below in its entirety. This video is from the supposed press conference in which Donald Trump “forced” Alicia Machado to work out in front of the media which she now claims was a horrible and degrading experience.

  18. Fury over Bosnian town built by Middle East investors which has Arabic as its ‘official’ language – and locals can only enter if they work as servants

    By Mail Online Reporter
    19:29 26 Oct 2016, updated 10:46 27 Oct 2016

    Angry locals are protesting about a Bosnian town built by Middle Eastern investors which has Arabic as its ‘official’ language – and where locals can only enter if they work as servants.
    The 160 homes have been constructed in a luxury enclave near Tarcin, five miles west of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo.

    But furious locals say that their only way of accessing the area is through being hired as servants or cleaners – and claim most of the homes contain the wives of wealthy businessmen.

    The houses – marketed only in Kuwait – are being sold for 150,000 euros (£133,000).
    Adverts for the estate call Bosnia a Muslim country ‘gifted with beautiful nature by Allah.’
    Bosnia-Herzegovina was racked by a sectarian civil war 20 years ago when the Muslim Bosnians – who converted to Islam during the rule of the Ottoman Empire – clashed with ethnic Serbs and ethnic Croats.

    Nearly 60,000 people died, including 8,000 Muslim Bosniaks slaughtered by the Serbs at Srebrenica. 

    The complex is surrounded by heavy security, gates and high walls. 

    It was also reported that some women stay there all year round with their children, while their husbands are only occasional visitors.
    One estate worker told local media: ‘The owners do not want to mix with the local population.

    ‘They have their own traditions when it comes to clothing, behaviour and prayer, and do not want people staring at them.’

    Now developers are reportedly planning to double the size of the private village.
    Local media have complained to regional officials that it is unlawful for a foreign power to be able to buy up parts of the country and ban locals from entering it.

    Some locals have begun a protest campaign with leaflets featuring women in burkas with the message: ‘Go Away.’

    One local pharmacist agreed: ‘We are Muslim, but we are praying at home and in mosques, and we are a secular state. They are different from us.’

    The news of the Arabic village follows on from revelations last year that ISIS militants had established a stronghold in a picturesque village, Osve, where everyone is ‘ready to respond to the summons to jihad.’

    Militant Islam was all but unknown to Bosnia’s mostly secular Muslim population until the Balkans wars in the 1990s when Arab mercenaries turned up to help the outgunned Bosnian Muslims fend off Serb attacks.

    These fighters, many of whom settled in Bosnia, embraced a radical version of Islam that Bosnia’s indigenous Islamic community opposes.

  19. MEMRI TV – Saudi Writer Shtiwi Al-Ghithi: ISIS Shares Its Ideological Infrastructure with the Religious Discourse Common in KSA and the Arab World

  20. The media is priming Donald Trump supporters for a loss

    Since the final presidential debate last week, many news outlets have been delivering an unvarnished message to Donald Trump supporters: Your candidate is virtually certain to lose the election Nov. 8.

    “Clinton probably finished off Trump last night,” FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver wrote the day after the debate. “Hillary Clinton is almost certain to be president,” Guardian columnist and former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson added.

    A day later, the Times’s Upshot blog increased Clinton’s chances of winning to 93 percent, an all-time high. On Monday, Politico’s Ben Schreckinger wrote that “Donald Trump’s path to an election night win is almost entirely closed.” Here at The Fix, Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake wrote that “Donald Trump’s chances of winning are approaching zero.”

    These are accurate, statistically sound statements. But they are something else, too. Declarations that Trump is highly unlikely to win also serve as counters to the Republican nominee’s warning that the “rigged” election could be “stolen from us.”

      • One of the reasons I am optimistic (Usually) is that Trump is a fighter and the Republicans normally don’t fight. When they do the Dems start floundering trying to figure out what to do.

    • “She died here alone. She died after being tortured and raped and just mentally brutalised. Threats of death and mutilation. I have never seen anyone so scared.’

      ‘She would voluntarily eat faeces out of the toilet and then smile. That is how scared she was. She just did anything.’

      ‘Do you want me to hit you? If you say ‘Yes’, I hit you once. If you say ‘No’ I hit you twice’. If you scream I will punch you, you understand?’ ”

      The bankers, lawyers and politicians must really hate Trump for shining the light on their lives. Enron shares anyone?

    • Being in Chicago means that virtually everyone I support is a LOOSER from the moment they start running for office. I don’t care, I am going out to vote come hell and high water because NOT to do so means the Democratic Party stamp of “Communism Forever!” is validated unanimously. F’em and go vote for Trump no matter what their damn political spinners claim.

  22. They Knew: The End of the Clinton Lies Begins
    There’s only one lie left.

    During Hillary Clinton’s first presidential campaign, Neera Tanden was described as “the wonk behind Hillary.” A close associate of the Clintons, Tanden helped shape policy for both Bill and Hillary. Then she switched to playing that role for Obama.

    While Hillary’s email scandal broke, Tanden was in charge of the Center for American Progress, a radical left-wing group that had been described as “Obama’s Idea Factory.” And she was chatting with John Podesta, the top Clintonite who had founded CAP. Podesta had co-chaired the Obama-Biden Transition Project. Neera Tanden would co-chair the Hillary-Kaine Transition Project under Podesta who headed up Hillary’s presidential campaign. Podesta had helped shape the last eight years of national politics through Obama and Tanden looked forward to shaping the next eight under Hillary.

    And what did they think of Hillary? Did they believe their defenses of her wrongdoing?

    Podesta and Tanden ridiculed her associates for the cover-up. “Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy,” she wondered. “Unbelievable,” Podesta wrote. “They wanted to get away with it.”

    Since the early days of the email scandal, we’ve been treated to the sordid rituals of feigned innocence. The issue was a non-issue, Clinton surrogates were quick to assure us. And even if it was, no one did anything wrong. The flies on the wall knew better though and now we can all be the flies on the wall.

  23. Election Law Violation Was Hillary’s Idea
    Orders to use Donald Duck to foment violence at Trump rallies came straight from the top.

    Democrat Hillary Clinton personally authorized illegal dirty tricks operations against Republican Donald Trump’s campaign, according to top Democrats appearing in undercover video.

    In the third Hillary-related video released by ACORN slayer James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas Action Fund this past Sunday (Oct. 23), Clinton is directly implicated in a scheme to use Donald Duck to mock Trump and troll his supporters at Trump campaign rallies.

    Among Disney cartoon characters Donald Duck was a natural choice. After all, his name used to appear regularly on voter registration documents when Bill and Hillary Clinton’s favorite community organizing group, the now-defunct ACORN, hired hobos and felons to go on voter-registration drives.

    • Be sure and read the entire article, here is the last sentence.

      “Our lawyers won’t let us release all our @HillaryClinton & DNC footage[,]”O’Keefe tweeted Tuesday. “For those demanding full raw [footage], be VERY careful what you wish for.”

      Please read the rest of the article, it spells out ust what in the videos shows criminal action, and in my opinion the last sentence is James O’Keefe begging for a Grand Jury to subpoena the rest of the videos.

  24. Hillary Clinton Tops “Islamist Money in Politics” List

    There are some very dubious awards out there that you just don’t want to win. Being one of the top recipients of Islamic money in politics certainly tops that list. Hillary Clinton likes to complain about dark money. This is as dark as money gets. As the Middle East Forum’s research shows.

    Hillary Clinton tops the list, raking in $41,165 from prominent Islamists. This includes $19,249 from senior officials of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), declared a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates on November 15, 2014.

    For example, Mrs. Clinton has accepted $3,900 from former CAIR vice-chairman Ahmad Al-Akhras, who has defended numerous Islamists in Ohio indicted – and later convicted – on terrorism charges.

    Among other current presidential candidates, Jill Stein has accepted $250. Donald Trump and Gary Johnson have not received any Islamist money.

    Other top recent recipients of money from the enemy include Rep. Keith Ellison ($17,370) and Rep. Andre Carson ($13,225).

    The top ten list includes nine Democrats, one independent (Sen. Bernie Sanders accepted $9,285), and no Republicans.

  25. Realism About the Jihad Threat in Oklahoma
    Oklahoma State Rep. John Bennett ventures where few dare to tread.

    In an age of near-universal denial and willful ignorance at the highest levels about the ideological roots, nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, it is as unusual as it is refreshing to find lawmakers at any level who are willing to approach the problem honestly. State Representative John Bennett of Oklahoma, a Marine and combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of an all-too-rare breed.

    On Tuesday, Bennett held an “Interim Study” on “the current threat posed by radical Islam and the effect that Shariah Law, the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist indoctrination have in the radicalization process in Oklahoma and America.” In his request to hold this study, he explained: “This will be a study of the current threat posed by radical Islam and the effect that Shariah Law, the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist indoctrination have in the radicalization process in Oklahoma and America.”

    This kind of study should have been held not just in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, but in the U.S. House, and Senate as well. That such an idea is inconceivable is an indication of the fix we’re in. And the situation is only marginally better in Oklahoma: nowadays the misinformation and disinformation about what we’re up against is so universal that anywhere the truth is told about this threat, there is significant pushback from the allies and enablers of jihad and Islamic supremacism.

    Readout of the President’s Call with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey

    The President spoke by phone today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss the next steps in the campaign against ISIL. The President recognized the contributions of Turkey, our NATO Ally, to the campaign, especially in supporting local Syrian forces who have cleared ISIL from Turkey’s border in northwest Syria. President Obama noted the need for close coordination between the United States and Turkey to build on these successes and to apply sustained pressure on ISIL in Syria to reduce threats to the United States, Turkey, and elsewhere. The President welcomed continued dialogue between Turkey and Iraq to determine the appropriate level and form of Turkey’s participation in the Counter-ISIL Coalition’s efforts in Iraq, and both leaders affirmed their strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq. The two leaders agreed on the importance of denying the PKK a safe haven in northern Iraq.

  27. New Body-Cam Video Shows Police Finding Chelsea Bombing Suspect Ahmad Rahimi

    Police stumbled upon Ahmad Khan Rahimi, the man charged with setting off bombs in New Jersey and New York last month, while he was sleeping in the doorway of a building, according to newly released police body camera video.

    Prosecutors in New Jersey on Wednesday released the video, which shows Rahimi curled up outside a bar in Linden, N.J., moments before he allegedly opened fire on officers on Sept. 19.

    In the video, a police officer in his patrol car shouts, “You can’t be sleeping on somebody’s door.” The officer then gets out of the vehicle and asks Rahimi why he’s there.

    Rahimi responds by giving a false name and says he’s homeless.

    “I lost my job and couldn’t pay my rent,” Rahimi says in the video, NBC New York reported.

    The video ends as the officer calls more police to the scene — before the gunfire begins.

  28. Anger in migrant-hit town as council ploughs £750k into two ‘city-shaping’ mosques (express, Oct 27, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/725955/German-town-council-building-mosques-Islam-Monheim

    “ANGER has erupted in a migrant-hit German town after it emerged more than £750,000 is being ploughed into building two Islamic mosques.

    Mayor of Monheim, Daniel Zimmermann, hailed the religious buildings as “city shaping” after the council agreed to hand €845,000 to centres in the Islamic community.

    German political parties including the SPD, CDU, Greens and FDP voted against the controversial plans, but objections were outvoted by the Peto Party, who has a 65 per cent majority of the votes.

    Mr Zimmermann said he hopes the cash will go towards integrating Muslims into the community.

    He said: “I hope that the mosques will be city-shaping and will later become monuments.”

    Islamologist Lamya Kaddor added: “This should fundamentally be seen as positive.”

    The mayor was inundated with more than 300 e-mails from angry residents against the plans, however in a public hearing around 80 per cent of the Monheimers expressed support for the Islamic communities.

    The move is likely to cause controversy in an already tense society, which has witnessed a dramatic changing attitude of the nation’s population towards Islam over the past year in the wake of the arrival of more than one million migrants.

    This has pushed voters into the embrace of right-wingers like the anti-immigrant AfD party which scored big in this month’s regional elections and which now threatens Mrs Merkel’s CDU conservatives at the General Election…”

    India announced earlier in the day that it expelled a staffer at the Pakistani Embassy in New Delhi after briefly detaining him for espionage activities.

    Islamabad said the allegations against its diplomat, Mahmood Akhtar, were “false and unsubstantiated.” Akhtar was told he had to leave New Delhi by Saturday.

  33. Tony Blair: World must act on Islamist extremism (CNN, Oct 26 , 2016)
    http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/26/opinions/defeat-religious-extremism-tony-blair-op-ed/index.html

    “To defeat Islamist extremism we need to come to a common agreement, with a clear perspective, on what is the cause of this global threat.

    Groups like ISIS and al Qaeda are the latest manifestation of a dangerous strain of totalitarian thinking that rejects and subordinates all universal norms and values to a single, violent, all-encompassing dogma. The groups are driven by a transnational religious-political ideology and a belief in violent jihad to enforce a return to a perceived Islam of the seventh century.

    Their threat is based on a perversion of religion that gives its followers the certainty of being “the best” believers and justifying violence against “the rest” — no surprise, then, that they mostly kill other Muslims.

    Their ambition is the total annihilation of those people, institutions, and governments who don’t agree with them.

    But the battlefield isn’t just in the Middle East or Sub-Saharan Africa. The long-range war is for hearts and minds: a sustained battle of ideas.

    Security measures are vital. But you can’t arrest an idea.

    The movement’s leaders and ideologues are often highly educated. They have the ability to radicalize and recruit with alarming speed on and offline.

    If we can understand, discredit and disrupt their ideology, then we can undermine the very foundations on which this global movement is built.

    A new global poll out this week from the Center for Strategic and International Studies has shown the vast majority of people around the world support doing just that. It is a widely shared belief that the threat of violent extremism is caused primarily by religious extremism — above racism, poverty, military actions by foreign governments and human rights abuses. The polling shows that both people who identify as religious, and those who don’t, believe the problem lies with religious ideology.

    This is significant and a real opportunity. It is up to governments, civil society groups and others to use this support to develop a unified, global response.

    We need a new global alliance, within Islam and outside of it, to lead this movement against extremism. Muslim motivation lies in a desire to help reclaim their peaceful religion from the fanatics who abuse it. They are the first victims and are on the frontline battling extremism.

    This is not a war with Islam. To accept that is to accept the terms set out by ISIS, al Qaeda and some of the far-right of Western politics. We must expose the lie that “the West” is at war with Islam. The West is home to millions of Muslims…”

  37. ‘Jihad Jenny’ quits Lib Dems after Holocaust row

    October 28 2016, 12:01am, The Times

    Baroness Tonge quit the Liberal Democrats yesterday after The Times reported that she had hosted a meeting where Jews were blamed for the Holocaust.

    After leaving the party, which she joined in 1959, she pointed the finger at the Israeli embassy, saying it liked to be “in control of things”.

    Lady Tonge has repeatedly run into trouble for anti-Israel outbursts and was nicknamed Jihad Jenny for sympathising with suicide bombers.

    She announced that she had left at about the same time as the party said it was suspending her. “I don’t want the party to be embarrassed by my actions…”
