1930 redux? Sooooo, the hatred of Jews is GOOD for the USA? Again?------Anti-Semitism Drives French Investors Into the Arms of NY Real Estate

Anti-Semitism Drives French Investors Into the Arms of NY Real Estate | New York Observer:
A "fixer" named Marlen Kruzhkov has helped dozens of rich guys move their families -- and over $1 billion -- to NYC

A French propaganda poster from 1942 asks “Who steals our North Africa? Roosevelt.” And blames the Jews.

....This year, New York has increasingly become home to one particular population seeking American status: Jewish Frenchmen.

Marlen Kruzhkov, an attorney at New York’s Gusrae Kaplan, specializes in helping Jews make the move from France to the States. 

Mr. Kruzhkov explained to the Observer in a phone interview that this migration has increased massively since the beginning of 2014, spurred by a spate of anti-semitic incidents, which only worsened with the war between Israel and Hamas. 

While last year he helped a handful of families with legal arrangements, today he is handling the arrangements of several dozen families—parents with children—looking to make the move. 

The families Mr. Kruzhkov works with are predominantly well-off investors, with an average net worth of $50 to $70 million. These dollars come along for the all-American ride.

As any good lawyer does, Mr. Kruzhkov begins his conversations with the families he represents by asking, 

“Why this, why now? Why do you want to be here and invest here?” 

Unanimously, the answer is French anti-Semitism.

Holi tsunami!!!-------'Great Lakes tidal wave' causes 5-foot immediate rise in water on Lake Superior shoreline

'Great Lakes tidal wave' causes 5-foot immediate rise in water on Lake Superior shoreline | MLive.com:
A seiche, which is the Great Lakes version of a tidal wave, hit the eastern shoreline of Lake Superior near Sault Saint Marie around 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014.

The seiche (pronounced SAYSH) was caused by a dramatic change in wind direction due to severe thunderstorms. 

The wind was blowing out of the southeast for a long time period, pushing water along the shoreline out into Lake Superior. 

Then a line of strong thunderstorms moved through, and the accompanying west wind blew the water back into shore.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported a 65-inch change in water levels. 

First the water lowered by 14 inches and then quickly rose 51 inches.

FINALLY! Obama Administration to Implement Major Border Security Program… In Nigeria

FINALLY! Obama Administration to Implement Major Border Security Program… In Nigeria | The Gateway Pundit:

You just can’t make this stuff up!
The US Border with Mexico is so porous even Osama Bin Laden can get across.
And to prove it, investigative journalist James O’Keefe crossed back and forth across the Rio Grande in an Osama Bin Laden costume.

The investigation took place in Hudspeth County, Texas, at a crossing commonly used by illegal immigrants and drug smugglers.

So, it seems a bit odd that the Obama administration is so concerned about security at the Nigerian border.

The Obama White House is launching a major border security program in Nigeria.
The Associated Press reported, via American Survival Guide:

The United States is preparing to launch a “major” border security program to help Nigeria and its neighbors combat the increasing number and scope of attacks by Islamic extremists, a senior U.S. official for Africa said Thursday.

Nigerian insurgents have begun attacking villages in neighboring Cameroon and have been seizing land in northeast Nigeria where they proclaimed an Islamic caliphate.

Assistant Secretary of State Linda Thomas-Greenfield told a meeting of U.S. and Nigerian officials in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, that “Despite our collective efforts, the situation on the ground is worsening.

“The frequency and scope of Boko Haram’s terror attacks have grown more acute and constitute a serious threat to this country’s overall security,” she said. “This is a sober reality check for all of us. We are past time for denial and pride.”

The government denied that Boko Haram this week overran Bama, the second largest city in Borno state, but Thomas-Greenfield said, “We are very troubled by the apparent capture of Bama and the prospects for an attack on and in Maiduguri.”

Michigan Fast Food Strike Protests 'Slave Wages'

Michigan Fast Food Strike Protests 'Slave Wages'

Fast food workers took to the streets, parking lots, and social media in search of a higher wage and a union. 

America is the land of opportunity and fast food jobs are often a stepping stone to success. For most of us, the first job we held was slinging burgers, making fancy coffee, and asking “Do you want fries with that?” The fight over a “living wage” has escalated into a war.

Across the country, a rallying cry for #StrikeFastFood D15, Fightfor15, Fast Food Forward,  and many other taglines all redirect to strikefastfood.org. The SEIU and organized laborhave been called in, pushing the home care workers to participate even though Michigan stopped the forced unionization of these workers just last year.

Where’s the funding coming? 
“Primary funding for both Fast Food Forward and Fight for 15 has been provided by SEIU,” according to Worker Center Watch.Yesterday in Detroit, people were arrested blocking traffic while calling for $15 per hour.  Many wore shirts emblazoned with the signature Detroit Tigers “D” 15 and on the back, Detroit15 for “Workers, for Families, For our Communities.”
At protest rally turned sit-in at  McDonalds near Mack and Canfield, Rev. W.J. Rideout III of Detroit’s All God’s People Church told local Detroit WXYZ news reporter Julie Banovic, “We’re serious about what we’re asking. 
Fifteen dollars and a union… $8.15 an hour  is an insult, we’re looking for $15 per hour. 
Believe it or not, inflation is up, everything is up,  taxes is up, milk, gas, everything, water is up, except minimum wage. 
That’s a disgrace. 
That they’re paying these people slave wages.”

Meet The "Access To Affordable Mortgages" Act: How Congress Will Create The Next Crisis

Meet The "Access To Affordable Mortgages" Act: How Congress Will Create The Next Crisis | Zero Hedge
Say hello to the next financial crisis, brought to you courtesy of the dumbest new bill of the week: H.R. 5148: Access to Affordable Mortgages Act.
Ordinarily whenever an individual wants to borrow money for a mortgage, the bank conducts due diligence... both on the borrower as well as the property.
It’s in the banks’ interest (as well as the banks’ depositors) to ensure that the property is at least worth as much as the amount being borrowed.
Duh.
Congress doesn’t agree.
Apparently when banks conduct property appraisals, that seems to unfairly discriminate against some segment of the population trying to buy crap properties.
And we certainly can’t have that going on in the Land of the Free.
So with HR 5148, Congress aims to exempt certain ‘higher-risk mortgages’ from property appraisal requirements.
.....So now they’re trying to engineer yet another financial crisis by encouraging banks and other lenders to exercise minimal due diligence on their mortgage portfolio.
.....So what does Congress do? They propose a new law to screw up bank balance sheets all over again.
It’s idiocy on an epic scale... and it makes one wonder what team of monkeys is coming up with these ideas.

Another Prediction by Global Warming High Priest Al Gore Just Flopped:
"Gore made his 2007 prediction as he accepted the bogus Nobel Peace Prize for his overly profitable campaign of promoting the myth of manmade climate change, or as Donald Trump called it last week, “weather.”
We now learn via the UK Daily Mail that the same North Polar ice cap that Gore, who sold his former TV Network to fossil fuel (i.e., dirty oil) funded Al Jazeera for $500 million, has expanded by an amazing 41% the past two years alone. "

Gov. Jerry Brown: Nearly 30% of CA Kids Illegal or 'Don't Speak English'

Gov. Jerry Brown: Nearly 30% of CA Kids Illegal or 'Don't Speak English':
"During Thursday night's California gubernatorial debate against Republican Neel Kashkari, California Governor Jerry Brown (D) revealed that nearly 30% of the state's schoolchildren are either illegal immigrants or do not speak English.
Brown, who recently said that illegal immigrants from Mexico were "all welcome in California," praised his administration's immigration policies.
He said that California is "setting the pace" on immigration laws and mentioned bills he signed that gave driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, made California a sanctuary state (Trust Act), and granted in-state tuition to illegal immigrants (CA DREAM Act). 
Brown then said that these policies were necessary because "about 30%" of schoolchildren in California are "either undocumented or don't speak English." "

Vicious Hate Crime in Missouri: Blacks Attack White Couple; Race Hustlers Silent [VIDEO]

Vicious Hate Crime in Missouri: Blacks Attack White Couple; Race Hustlers Silent [VIDEO] | John Hawkins' Right Wing News
This is a REAL hate crime. 
A white couple is innocently walking around Springfield, Missouri, which is located roughly three and a half hours from Ferguson, when suddenly they are attacked by four black thugs.

They are slammed against the wall.
They are slammed on the ground.
They are hit.
They are kicked over and over again.
And it is all caught on camera. 
The attack is disturbing to watch.
The thugs, I cannot call them men, run off, then you see police chasing after them.
Not a word from Al Sharpton as he is back to battling it out with the teleprompter on MSNBC. 
Not an outcry from Eric Holder or Barack Obama that these thugs should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 
There is utter silence as the police search for these perpetrators.

The Murder Castle Of H.H. Holmes, America's First Serial Killer

The Murder Castle Of H.H. Holmes, America's First Serial Killer - KnowledgeNuts:
In 1893, Dr. H.H. Holmes built a sprawling, three-story brick building in downtown Chicago. The labyrinthine “Murder Castle” contained nearly 100 rooms, dead-end staircases, hallways that looped back onto themselves, and doors with only brick walls behind them.
In this grisly maze, Holmes murdered up to 200 people.
H.H. Holmes is widely regarded as America’s first serial killer, a title which he claimed with a vengeance during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. 
He later confessed to 27 murders, although it’s believed that he may have actually killed hundreds. 
The victims were mostly visitors to the World’s Fair, and, for the most part, women.
After abducting them, Holmes brought them back to his self-styled Murder Castle, an outwardly unassuming building in Englewood.
But behind the innocent brick facade was a dark, windowless maze containing close to 100 rooms filled with torture devices.
As far as we know, nobody ever escaped once they were brought into the Murder Castle.

NSA now sending EVERYTHING on the web to their crony government collaborators?!!!------FAA Scans the Internet For Drone Users; Sends Cease and Desist Letters

FAA Scans the Internet For Drone Users; Sends Cease and Desist Letters - Slashdot:
"An anonymous reader writes with this news from Carl Malamud's Government Attic:
"The FAA has released a set of cease and desist letters sent in 2012 and 2013 to people operating drone vehicles for a variety of purposes including: tornado research, inspecting gas well stacks, aerial photography, journalism education, and other purposes.
Drone cease and desist letters sent during 2014 are available from the FAA upon request."
The text of the letters (bureaucratically polite, but bureaucratically firm) often starts with notes indicating to the UAV operators to whom they were sent that the FAA became interested in them because it "became aware of" their web sites, or even because someone tipped them off about an article in a community newsletter.
The letters go on to outline the conditions under which the FAA allows the operation of unmanned aircraft, and specifically notes......"

Illegal Alien Kills Two Young Girls, What Happened Next Will Anger You

Illegal Alien Kills Two Young Girls, What Happened Next Will Anger You:
"This heart-breaking story was discussed on Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly with guest host Laura Ingraham. Cisneros was convicted of two felonies for the hit-and-run, but will face neither jail time nor deportation. In fact, her case was completely dismissed, although the reason for the dismissal was not unveiled, neither was the name of the judge who committed the atrocity of not holding this illegal accountable for her crime.
Garcia-Cisneros is in the country as part of Obama’s DACA program, enacted via executive order in 2012, which rewarded those illegals he described as DREAMers, brought into the country as children, with the ability to stay in America despite their illegal status."

Taxpayers, Beware – of Big Wind’s Latest Deceitful Ad Campaign

Taxpayers, Beware – of Big Wind’s Latest Deceitful Ad Campaign | Somewhat Reasonable
As Siemens’ tax-sheltering market dries up in Europe, its U.S. marketing efforts are clearly geared toward increasing its income and profits via wind’s tax sheltering schemes in the United States. 
The company stands to make millions, so Siemens ad campaign is obviously part of an overall pitch to persuade Congress to extend the hefty wind Production Tax Credit (PTC), more accurately called“Pork-To-Cronies.” 
As Warren Buffett recently admitted, 
“We get tax credits if we build lots of wind farms.  
That’s the only reason to build them. 
They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”

Taxpayers and ratepayers, beware!

As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the increasingly politicized IRS recently relaxed the definition of “commence construction” to the point where the definition bears no resemblance to the actual words. 

During a hearing by the House Energy Policy, Health Care and Entitlements subcommittee last October, Curtis G. Wilson of the IRS admitted that developers can now game the system to the point where projects built years in the future could still meet the eligibility requirement for “commence” now.
U.S. taxpayers and ratepayers are doomed when, instead of allowing the markets to work, crony-corruptocrats are picking the winners and losers in the energy marketplace, using such nefarious tactics.
Sadly, most people don’t even know the difference between energy and power. 

This reality has built the framework for the biggest swindle ever perpetrated on citizens worldwide.

Many have bought into the alarmist argument that “we have to do something” to stop “dangerous manmade global warming.” 

Enter the wind industry sales department, primed to capitalize on public fears and alarmist hype.
