$600 Million Terrorist Money Trail Leads Back To Obama

$600 Million Terrorist Money Trail Leads Back To Obama:

"This is the legacy of Obama. He did more to aid the people who want to wipe us off the map, then the people he swore to protect.

But don’t think learning the truth about Obama will change the minds of Leftists. They wouldn’t care if they found out that Obama was the leader of ISIS."

THEY TOLD ME IF TRUMP WERE ELECTED...

THEY TOLD ME IF TRUMP WERE ELECTED...
THEY TOLD ME IF TRUMP WERE ELECTED, SECRET POLICE WOULD ROOT OUT IMPROPER THOUGHTS ON CAMPUS. AND THEY WERE RIGHT! 
U of Arizona is Hiring ‘Social Justice Advocates’ to Police Fellow Students for ‘Bias Incidents.’

“Bias” isn’t actually a crime, you know, and “policing” speech looks a lot like a conspiracy to deprive people of their civil rights, which is both a felony and a source of civil damage actions. 
If the right had as well-developed a legal infrastructure as the left, there would already be lawsuits and criminal prosecutions along these lines. 
There probably still will be, eventually."

No One Mentions That The Russian Trail Leads To Democratic Lobbyists

No One Mentions That The Russian Trail Leads To Democratic Lobbyists:

"The media’s focus on Trump’s Russian connections ignores the much more extensive and lucrative business relationships of top Democrats with Kremlin-associated oligarchs and companies. Thanks to the Panama Papers, we know that the Podesta Group (founded by John Podesta’s brother, Tony) lobbied for Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank. "

The Veiled Genocide: A Reexamination of Muslim Occupation and Slavery of Africa | The Muslim Issue

The Veiled Genocide: A Reexamination of Muslim Occupation and Slavery of Africa | The Muslim Issue: 
"Over 4 million people are still under ownership by Muslims as slaves in Africa and across the Middle East today. 
No liberal or black nationalist ever complains about that. 
The brutality of the Muslim slave trade during the caliphate was so severe that 90% of Africans died in transport. 
Those who made it alive to Arabia barely lived into their mid 20’s. 
Women served merely as sex-slaves and workers and if they became pregnant from Muslim rapes their offspring was killed at birth. 
The male slaves served as laborers and were castrated to stop them from producing children. 
When the Muslims castrated their slaves they cut the entire penis and testicles off. 
It was the male version of FGM.
The African slave trade was created by the Africans themselves, and not by any European or foreigner. 
One of the reason African kings endorsed and ran the entire slave trade of their own people is due to their indoctrination into Sharia. 
Slavery made the the African kings extremely wealthy and powerful. 
The Sharia legalized the slavery of African people who had not converted to Islam, under the infidel label.
Although it is true that the whole world was engaged in slavery at one point in the temptation of wealth they witnessed from Muslim slavery, it is also true that African blacks, under the indoctronation of Islam, captured and enslaved more white Europeans in 1,200 years of slave raids on European shores than all of European and American slave trade combined.

Must read all!-----Articles: Russian Hacking and Collusion: Put the Cards on the Table-By Clarice Feldman

Articles: Russian Hacking and Collusion: Put the Cards on the Table:
"The  notion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump was a John Brennan/James Clapper confection created in an unorthodox way, and defied logic, given that Hillary and her associates had far closer connections to Russia than Trump or his associates did. 
John Merline writes at Investor's Business Daily:

THE CLINTON FAMILY BUSINESS [snip]

Bill Clinton received half a million dollars in 2010 for a speech he gave in Moscow, paid by a Russian firm, Renaissance Capital, that has ties to Russian intelligence. The Clinton Foundation took money from Russian officials and oligarchs, including Victor Kekselberg, a Putin confidant. The Foundation also received millions of dollars from Uranium One, which was sold to the Russian government in 2010, giving Russia control of 20% of the uranium deposits in the U.S. —  the sale required approval from Hillary Clinton's State Department. What's more, at least some of these donations weren't disclosed. "Ian Telfer, the head of the Russian government's uranium company, Uranium One, made four foreign donations totaling $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all such donors," the Times has reported.

JOHN PODESTA In March -- that is, long after the election was over -- it was revealed that Mrs. Clinton's campaign chairman had failed to disclose the receipt of 75,000 shares of stock from a Kremlin-financed company -- Joule Unlimited -- for which he served as director from 2010 to 2014, when he joined the Obama White House in 2014. Podesta apparently had a large chunk of the shares transferred to "Leonidio Holdings, a brand-new entity he incorporated only on Dec. 20, 2013, about 10 days before he entered the White House," according to a news account.

TONY PODESTA Mr. Podesta's bother, who has close personal and business relations with Mrs. Clinton, was "key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics," a March news story reported. The bank was "seeking to end one of the Obama administration's economic sanctions against that country." The report goes on to note that "Podesta's efforts were a key part of under-the-radar lobbying during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign led mainly by veteran Democratic strategists to remove sanctions against Sberbank and VTB Capital, Russia's second largest bank." Mr. Obama imposed the sanctions following the Russian seizure of the Crimean region of Ukraine in 2014.

JOHN BREAUX Forbes magazine reports that Mr. Breaux, a former Senator from Louisiana who cut radio ads for Mrs. Clinton's 2008 campaign, represents Gazprombank GPB, a subsidiary of Russia's third largest bank, on "banking laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions."

THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN In March, Mr. Putin's spokesman said that Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak met with members of Mrs. Clinton's campaign several times while she was running for president in 2016. Further, the campaign never disclosed the number or nature of these secret meetings.

As the great Sharyl Attkisson reports, 12 prominent public statements by those on both sides of the aisle who reviewed the evidence or been briefed on it confirmed there was no evidence of Russia trying to help Trump in the election or colluding with him: 

• The New York Times (Nov 1, 2016);
• House Speaker Paul Ryan (Feb, 26, 2017);
• Former DNI James Clapper , March 5, 2017);
• Devin Nunes Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, March 20, 2017);
• James Comey, March 20, 2017;
• Rep. Chris Stewart, House Intelligence Committee, March 20, 2017;
• Rep, Adam Schiff, House Intelligence committee, April 2, 2017);
• Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senate Intelligence Committee, May 3, 2017);
• Sen. Joe Manchin  Senate Intelligence Committee, May 8, 2017;
• James Clapper (again) (May 8, 2017);
• Rep. Maxine Waters, May 9, 2017);
• President Donald Trump,(May 9, 2017).
• Senator Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, indicated that his briefing confirmed Dianne Feinstein’s view that the President was not under investigation for colluding with the Russians.

The Ugly Racism of Karl Marx-Walter E. Williams

The Ugly Racism of Karl Marx:
"...Communism is an ideology calling for government control over our lives.

It was created by Karl Marx, who—along with his collaborator, Friedrich Engels—wrote a pamphlet called “Manifesto of the Communist Party.”

...For those who see Marx as their hero, there are a few historical tidbits they might find interesting. 

Nathaniel Weyl, himself a former communist, dug them up for his 1979 book, “Karl Marx: Racist.”

• For example, Marx didn’t think much of Mexicans. 

When the United States annexed California after the Mexican War, Marx sarcastically asked, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”

• ...Marx had a racial vision that might be interesting to his modern-day black supporters. 

In a letter to Engels, in reference to his socialist political competitor Ferdinand Lassalle, Marx wrote:

It is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes who had joined Moses’ exodus from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother on the paternal side had not interbred with a n—–. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product.

• ...Marx was also an anti-Semite, as seen in his essay titled “On the Jewish Question,” which was published in 1844. Marx asked:

What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. … Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man—and turns them into commodities. … The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. … The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general..."

Student Fired From Paper After Sharing Criticism Of Islam | The Daily Caller

Student Fired From Paper After Sharing Criticism Of Islam | The Daily Caller:
"An Oregon college student lost his job at the school newspaper after he tweeted a video of a Muslim student admitting his religion killed nonbelievers, according to an article he wrote concerning the incident Friday.

Andy Ngo, former multimedia editor for the Vanguard at Portland State University, posted a video and brief commentary from an “Unpacking Misconceptions” religion panel he attended before losing his job, according to a column he published in National Review.

“At Portland State interfaith panel today, the Muslim student speaker said that apostates will be killed or banished in an Islamic state,” tweeted Ngo on April 26.
“And some, this, that you’re referring to, killing non-Muslims, that [to be a non-believer] is only considered a crime when the country’s law, the country is based on Koranic law — that means there is no other law than the Koran,” the Muslim student said at the panel, according to the tweets. 

“In that case, you’re given the liberty to leave the country, you can go in a different country, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. So you can go in a different country, but in a Muslim country, in a country based on the Koranic laws, disbelieving, or being an infidel, is not allowed so you will be given the choice [to leave].”...

Must read!-----The James Comey Show - WSJ

The James Comey Show - WSJ:
"If you read nothing else while fighting through the maelstrom around President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey, read the full text of Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein’s memorandum titled “Restoring Public Confidence in the FBI.”
Mr. Rosenstein’s memo makes meticulously clear the short version of this grandiose episode: Director Comey’s behavior violated numerous standards of federal prosecutorial procedure and lines of authority inside the Department of Justice.
Specifically, writes Mr. Rosenstein, “The Director was wrong to usurp the Attorney General’s authority on July 5, 2016, and announce his conclusion that the case should be closed without prosecution.”
Mr. Rosenstein cites a useful analysis of the Comey saga, published in the Washington Post, by former deputy attorneys general Jamie Gorelick and Larry Thompson.
Mr. Comey’s conduct, they wrote, was “real-time, raw-take transparency taken to its illogical limit, a kind of reality TV of federal criminal investigation.”
That is an apt metaphor—a kind of reality TV—for everything the dazed public is reading and hearing now about James Comey, the federal investigation into a Russian connection with the Trump campaign, and reveries about Watergate.
But I know where to begin: with the news in March 2015 that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton created a private email server in 2009.
Hillary’s email server is the reason for James Comey’s rise, and why he has fallen.
One could populate a political graveyard with figures who by choice or chance have sailed into the Clintons’ personal Bermuda Triangle..."

What Do Leftists Celebrate? - Walter E. Williams

What Do Leftists Celebrate? - Walter E. Williams:

"Despite the fact that in the 20th century alone communism was responsible for more than 100 million murders (http://tinyurl.com/zafgs5p), much of the support for communism and socialism is among intellectuals. The reason they do not condemn the barbarism of communism is understandable. Dr. Richard Pipes explains: "Intellectuals, by the very nature of their professions, grant enormous attention to words and ideas. And they are attracted by socialist ideas. They find that the ideas of communism are praiseworthy and attractive; that, to them, is more important than the practice of communism. "

Everything Wrong with Obama in Two Sentences—With a Twist | Power Line

Everything Wrong with Obama in Two Sentences—With a Twist | Power Line:
"EVERYTHING WRONG WITH OBAMA IN TWO SENTENCES—WITH A TWIST
David Garrow’s new biography of Barack Obama, Rising Star, contains this passage from an unpublished paper Obama is said to have written while a Harvard law student:
“[Americans have] a continuing normative commitment to the ideals of individual freedom and mobility, values that extend far beyond the issue of race in the American mind. 
The depth of this commitment may be summarily dismissed as the unfounded optimism of the average American—I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don’t make it, my children will.”
First of all—heh! Trump gets the last laugh once again.
Second: when will we kill the word “normative”? (Nota bene: I never use the word in the classroom, ever. And I banish it from my writing, except to ridicule it. It’s a sign of intellectual laziness and shallowness.)
Third: “Unfounded optimism” of the average American? 
Just a minute—I thought one part of the essential American creed is that any “average American” can grow up to be president.
Didn’t Obama prove that to be true?
So what’s his problem?"

Here's Why MSM So Upset Comey is Gone=> Comey-Clinton Ties Go Way Back - He First Pardoned Bill in 2002

Here's Why MSM So Upset Comey is Gone=> Comey-Clinton Ties Go Way Back - He First Pardoned Bill in 2002:

Well-well-well…

Comey first came in contact with the Clintons in the 1990s when he was investigating WhiteWater scandal.

He then went on to investigate the Clinton’s during President Bush’s tenure.

TIME reported:

Looking to get back into government after a stint in private practice, Comey signed on as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. 

In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. 

Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her husband had tried to hide their roles in two other matters under investigation by law enforcement. Taken together, the interference by White House officials, which included destruction of documents, amounted to “far more than just aggressive lawyering or political naiveté,” Comey and his fellow investigators concluded. It constituted “a highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.”...
In 2002 US Attorney General James Comey first investigated and exonerated Bill Clinton for his clemency of four men who donated to Hillary Clinton’s senate campaign. The four men misappropriated tens of millions of dollars in federal aid intended for housing, education and business.
CBS reported on this in 2002.
Feds Close Clinton Clemency Probe

The federal government has closed its probe — with no charges filed — into former President Bill Clinton’s grants of clemency to four men accused of bilking the government of millions of dollars, authorities said Thursday..."
"James Comey has been investigating the Clintons for a LONG TIME — and has always decided in their favor.
No wonder Democrats and their media are so outraged at Comey’s firing!"

Pictured: Hungary's New Electrified Border Wall, Watch Towers And Guards Outfitted With Machine Guns:
"The country of Hungary, 95% of whose citizens opposed European Union migrant quotas in a recent referendum, has reportedly electrified key portions of their border fence.
According to Index.hu, when approaching the border outside of authorized border crossings, those attempting to enter the country will be met with warning signs in Hungarian, Serbian and Arabic advising them that the fence has been electrified.
Kit Daniels reports:
It may not be a full fence shield, but there are fixed wires running parallel to the ground,” reported journalist András Földes.
“The 12 wires mounted on insulated points are visible on both fences of the double fence, with insulated portions on the inside of the fences since it’s assumed they [the migrants] will only come from the outside if they come in.”
“…We also learned that a worker was shaken at the time of the installation and that he was hospitalized,” he added.
Though detractors of President Donald Trump’s border wall concept have been critical of the idea that a wall would actually stop illegal immigration through America’s porous southern border, the Hungarian wall has reportedly reduced illegal crossings into the country by a whopping 97%, with a significant change seen within the first 24 hours after it was installed..."
