Tell me again. Why must the USA take in these people?-----Islamic State Manifesto: Sleeper Cells Sent To Europe Posing As Refugees

Islamic State Manifesto: Sleeper Cells Sent To Europe Posing As Refugees :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism:
The Islamic State claims it sent highly trained sleeper agents to Europe through Turkey posing as refugees as far back as 2012.
A 99-page manifesto issued in January, "Black Flags from Rome," also details the Islamic State (ISIS)'s desire to spark a Europe-wide Islamic insurgency using "Muslim No Go Zones" as bases of operations.
As an example, it claims that some Syrian refugees fled to Italy. 
"No doubt, some of these refugees were undercover fighters of Al Qa'idah and the Islamic State," the manifesto says.
"They were quick to take the opportunity of entering into the different countries of Europe (most probably as early as 2012).
All this was happening under the nose of the European intelligence services whose job during this time (2012) was only to prevent European Muslims from entering Syria. 
(This shows how quick the Islamic groups were in planning ahead. Years before Europe even knew where its Muslim citizens were going - experienced Islamic fighters had already found safety in Europe.)"
These highly trained fighters were instructed to form secret cells and wait until called on by the Islamic State's self-proclaimed caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
At that time they would "continue the Jihad and ... seek revenge for the Western occupation of Muslim lands."
"Black Flags From Rome" claims the sleeper agents were well-trained in urban combat tactics similar to this month's Paris attacks.
It proudly contrasts past Al-Qaida's terrorists with its fighters, whom it describes as "untrained" and "vulnerable," noting that Western intelligence agencies never faced professionally trained fighters with combat experience.
"These young Europeans had been professionally trained, and given training most specific to the context of the war they would battle within Europe," the manifesto says..."

Why are we giving this communist scam one penny of our American money?-----UN climate chief: Communism is best to fight global warming

UN climate chief: Communism is best to fight global warming | The Daily Caller:
"United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres said that democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming.
Communist China, she says, is the best model.
China may be the world’s top emitter of carbon dioxide and struggling with major pollution problems of their own, but the country is “doing it right” when it comes to fighting global warming says Figueres.
“They actually want to breathe air that they don’t have to look at,” she said.
“They’re not doing this because they want to save the planet.
They’re doing it because it’s in their national interest.”
Figueres added that the deep partisan divide in the U.S. Congress is “very detrimental” to passing any sort of legislation to fight global warming.
The Chinese Communist Party, on the other hand, can push key policies and reforms all on its own. 
The country’s national legislature largely enforces the decisions made by the party’s Central Committee and other executive offices."

Benghazi Commission: Obama Admin Scheme Armed ISIS

Benghazi Commission: Obama Admin Scheme Armed ISIS:

“It’s been reported that President Obama signed an Executive Order on Syria in early 2012 [just as he had done for Libya in early 2011], that legally covered the CIA and other U.S. agencies that otherwise would have been in violation of aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war and providing material support to terrorism,” notes Lopez. “Still, such blatant disregard for U.S. national security can only be described as deeply corrosive of core American principles.”

Libya Amb. Stevens was killed by jihadists in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, along with three other Americans."

Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’

Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’:
"One of the most important banks in the western world says that the 7th largest economy on the entire planet has entered a full-blown economic depression. 
Brazil’s economy has now contracted for three quarters in a row, and many analysts believe that things are going to get far worse before they have a chance to get any better. 
Earlier this year, I warned about “the South American financial crisis of 2015“, and now it is in full swing. 
The surging U.S. dollar is absolutely crushing emerging markets such as Brazil, and if the Fed raises interest rates this month that is going to make the pain even worse. 
The global financial system is more interconnected than ever before, and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve truly do have global consequences. 
So much of the “hot money” that was created by the Fed poured into emerging markets such as Brazil during the good times, but now the process is starting to reverse itself. 
At this point, it is hard to see how much of South America is going to avoid a complete and total economic disaster."

2) “The paradox of the schools is evident: increased expenditure escalates their destructiveness at home and abroad.”
4) “Skill teachers are made scarce by the belief in the value of licenses… Most teachers of arts and trades are less skillful, less inventive and less communicative than the best craftsmen and tradesmen. Most high-school teachers of Spanish or French do not speak the language as correctly as their pupils might after half a year of competent drills.”
9) “The public is indoctrinated to believe that skills are valuable and reliable only if they are the result of formal schooling.”
10) “School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.”

House Calls for Jihadists

House Calls for Jihadists :: SteynOnline:

"...My eye was caught by this headline from Agence France-Presse: "Belgian Scheme Tries To Nip Radicalisation In The Bud."
Put aside the fact that "radicalization" is itself a weaselly equivocation, and that in Molenbeek it's way past being "in the bud", given that the suburb's residents have played a role in the Paris slaughter, the Jewish Museum murders, the Madrid train bombings, etc, etc.
But, as I say, put all that aside and take the "Belgian scheme" at face value:
Molenbeek (Belgium) (AFP) - In the troubled Brussels district of Molenbeek, politician Sarah Turine is on the frontline of her own war to stop the sons of Belgian families going off to Syria to join Islamic State fighters.
The first step is often to send a sociologist and psychologist to try to re-establish the link between the troubled young man and his family. The next is to flag up the dire consequences of the choice they seem to be about to make.
"We must try to defuse this anger among the young," Turine, who oversees a radicalisation prevention programme in Molenbeek, told AFP over tea at an upscale Arab cafe.
"We have to assure them they have a place here, that they are not second-class citizens, and to undermine the recruiters' arguments," said Turine, a member of the leftist Ecolo party."
Doesn't all this sound awfully time-consuming and manpower-intensive and expensive?
The "first step" is to send round "a sociologist and psychologist"? 
Two trained, credentialed professionals?
In the 21st century, you can't get a doctor to make a house call - unless you're a "troubled young man" of jihadist bent in need of mental-health counseling.
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper not to keep importing and expanding the particular community which produces all these "troubled young men"?...

Why else do democrat leaders want felons to vote?-----Ted Cruz: "Overwhelming Majority of Violent Criminals are Democrats..."

Ted Cruz: "Overwhelming Majority of Violent Criminals are Democrats..." » Louder With Crowder:

“You know, every time you have some sort of violent crime or mass killing, you can almost see the media salivating, hoping, hoping, desperately that the murderer happens to be a Republican so they can use it to try to paint their political enemies.

“Now listen, here’s the simple and undeniable fact.The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats. The media doesn’t report that. What they report, and there’s a reason why the Democrats for years have been viewed as soft on crime because they go in and they appoint to the bench judges who release violent criminals, they go in and they do what Barack Obama tried to do, which is appoint a lawyer who voluntarily represented for free, a cop killer to a senior Justice Department position. They go in and fight to give the right to vote to convicted felons. Why? Because the Democrats know convicted felons tend to vote Democrat.”

Must read of the day!-----The Usual Suspect

The Usual Suspect | PJ Media:
"...Conventional wisdom held they should be dying. 
 For years the numbers of phytoplankton were thought to be in decline due to Global Warming. 
"A 2010 study published in Nature reported that marine phytoplankton have declined substantially in the world's oceans over the past century." 
But the Johns Hopkins study contradicted this claim. Something -- perhaps C02 -- was revving up the plankton.
"Scientists have long thought that the number of plankton species would decline due to increased acidity in the oceans. 
However, over the last four decades or so they have grown to be much more in abundance, a new study indicates. ...
"Something strange is happening here, and it's happening much more quickly than we thought it should," Anand Gnanadesikan, associate professor in the Morton K. Blaustein Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins."
Just as nuclear power and radiation explained everything in the 1950s, in 2015 the usual suspect in all modern mysteries is Global Warming. 
"In Britain last week, Sky News aired an interview with Prince Charles in which he declared that a clear link existed between climate change and the emergence of Islamic State." 
It was therefore understandable that Global Warming is the presumed cause for the phytoplankton boom just as it was the culprit in its former assumed decline. 
The way the narrative works is the Usual Suspect is guilty in every case. 
Things are simpler that way..."

Professor blames Colbert's ratings sag on Republicans 'who can’t understand complex satire' - The College Fix:
Sophia McClennen, a professor of international affairs and comparative literature at Pennsylvania State University, recently sounded off on why she believes Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” ratings are sagging – Republicans won’t watch it because they’re too thickheaded to get his clever jokes!

“It is the socially conservative, less educated, Tea Party version of the GOP that is least likely to want to watch smart comedy like Colbert’s,” McClennen stated in her Salon piece, titled “Republicans just don’t get Stephen Colbert: Why the Fox News-watching, climate-change denying crowd can’t understand complex satire.”

This is great!!-----Recut - Honest Propaganda: ISIS

Show us the PROOF!!-----The Burden of Proof on Climate Change

Articles: The Burden of Proof on Climate Change:
"The burden of proof for Anthropogenic Climate Change falls on alarmists.
Climate Change (CC) has been ongoing for millions of years – long before humans existed on this planet.
Obviously, the causes were all of natural origin, and not anthropogenic.
There is no reason to believe that these natural causes have suddenly stopped; for example, volcanic eruptions, various types of solar influences, and (internal) atmosphere-ocean oscillations all continue today.  (Note that these natural factors cannot be modeled precisely.)
Let’s call this the “Null Hypothesis.”
Logically therefore, the burden of proof is on alarmists to demonstrate that the Null Hypothesis is not adequate to account for empirical climate data; alarmists must provide convincing observational evidence for Anthropogenic CC (ACC)
 – by detailed comparison of empirical data with GH models.
I am not aware of such proofs, only of anecdotal info – although I admit that ACC is plausible; after all, CO2 is a GH gas, and its level has been rising, mainly because of burning of fossil fuels.
However, ACC appears to be much smaller than predicted by GH models; there is even believed to be a period of no warming [“hiatus”] during the past 19 years – in spite of rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 levels [1]."

Will Congress declare war on ISIS?

Will Congress declare war on ISIS?:

"Seemingly arguing against simply a reauthorization of military force by Congress, many, like Long, are making it clear they are calling for a constitutional declaration of war – an action not invoked by Congress for 75 years.

“A formal declaration of war will give unequivocal direction to our elected government – to tell them we must stand and fight, to not cower,” Long wrote. “War is horrible. Appeasement, surrender and moral cowardice are acts worse than war. We must stand together and steel ourselves for what lies ahead.”

Real refugees sentenced to death by Obama-----The slow death of hope for America’s loyal friends in Iraq

The slow death of hope for America’s loyal friends in Iraq - FT.com:
The phone calls in the past week were tearful.
I spoke to two Iraqis, former colleagues who had risked their lives for Americans, to tell them I doubted they would ever be welcomed in my country.
As France mourned murders by Islamist terrorists, and US politicians thousands of miles away spewed anti-refugee rhetoric, I realised my friends probably had no friends in Washington.
For years after the 2003 invasion, Americans relied on Iraqis to navigate a country whose terrain we barely knew and whose sectarian loyalties it was vital to understand.
Journalists could not have survived without them.
Neither could the troops, aid workers or diplomats.
The goodwill of those caught in the middle of these war zones — whether in Iraq or now perhaps in Syria — allowed us to stay safe and do our jobs.
...In the weeks that followed, though, I found few people in my government willing to help. 
No single bureaucrat wanted to accept responsibility.
... “To be honest, I lost hope,” Nadeem said. “After this week — and what I saw in Washington — I can’t have hope.”
Sinan, so often the peacemaker during turbulent times in Iraq, told me he does not feel especially alone in his despair; many people in Iraq feel abandoned. 
Before I called, he had been working on a security brief for the UN and he shared what he knew: 10 bodies, riddled with bullets, had been found dumped in various places around Baghdad.
Yes, he said, he wished for a better life. “But it is not your fault, my dear. Don’t be angry.
I think the whole world has gone crazy.”
