BOMBSHELL REPORT: Remember “Executive Privilege?” Now We Know Why It Happened
BOMBSHELL REPORT: Remember “Executive Privilege?” Now We Know Why It Happened:
"It has long been suspected that the original intent for the program was to run guns into Mexico which could then be traced back to the FFL’s in Phoenix and other neighboring cities. Thereby after many related deaths, would create a crisis of legal sales in the US all with the desire to persuade the public to demand a partial rescind of our beloved Second Amendment.
The amount of attacks on our second amendment have become so frequent, causing almost every shooting incident in America to be met with conspiratorial questions, with good reason.
Remember Attorney General Eric Holder once said this:"

The notion of "approved" news goes back a long way. If you've read A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain, you'll recall that Hank Morgan, the eponymous time-travelling New Englander, was much taken by the Court Circular published each week in Camelot:
The notion of "approved" news goes back a long way. If you've read A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain, you'll recall that Hank Morgan, the eponymous time-travelling New Englander, was much taken by the Court Circular published each week in Camelot:
On Monday, the King rode in the park.
" Tuesday, " " " " " "
" Wednesday, " " " " " "
" Thursday, " " " " " "
" Friday, " " " " " "
" Saturday, " " " " " "
" Sunday, " " " " " "
But at least the King did, in fact, ride in the park. In today's world, it is no longer necessary for the event so described actually to occur for it to be reported as a remarkable, newsworthy event. Here, for example, is CBS Los Angeles reporting on the city's Kwanzaa parade:
The 38th annual KwanZaa Gwaride parade made its way down Crenshaw Boulevard Friday, marking the start of the seven-day festival of Kwanzaa.
The gwaride, which is the Swahili word for parade, brought together members of L.A.'s African-American community as they turn their focus on "Nguzo Saba," the Seven Principles behind Kwanzaa...
Er, not really. The scene above can't really be described as a "parade" - in English, Swahili, or anything else. "Gwaride" would seem to be Swahili for "vast empty plain with nary a solitary antelope for company". And the only members of LA's African-American community "brought together" by the event appear to be two pedestrians who were out for a stroll anyway.
The only very modest bit of news here is that, even in the heart of south Los Angeles, Kwanzaa is too boring and fraudulent for all but the most gung ho of identity-group hucksters. Which would be mildly interesting to know, and has the additional merit of being true. But you can't say that on CBS. You can't report the truth on CBS. So instead reality has to be brought into line with the diversity myths.
That's the purpose of "news" as social engineering. The great, messy, contradictory, complexities of reality have to be streamlined and organized into the half-a-dozen approved narratives of the age. At its most absurd, you wind up with "Jackie", the "victim" of the University of Virginia "gang" "rape", to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude for having the courage to come forward and raise awareness by "pulling back the curtain on rape" - even if behind the pulled-back curtain there was no actual rape going on. But the CBS Kwanzaa "report" reminds us that the same philosophy determines a thousand lesser stories every day of the week.
~On Monday, Jackie and the massed ranks of campus gang-rape victims rode through the park. On Tuesday, the spectacular Kwanzaa parade rode through the park. On Wednesday, the Religion of Peace rode through the park pursued by gangs of all-American bigots and haters. In between their delirious Kwanzaa observances, the California media also found time to report on a Yuletide attack on an American mosque - yet more grim evidence that Islamophobia is rampaging out of control:
A vandalism attack on the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno on Christmas Day was immediately branded by Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer as a "hate crime," and the "Islamophobia" grievance industry began to gear up in response.more.....
Media Nearly Silent After NC Cop Thwarts NYPD-Style Assassination Attempt
Media Nearly Silent After NC Cop Thwarts NYPD-Style Assassination Attempt - Bearing Arms:
"A Durham, NC police officer sitting in a parked car saved his own life Thursday night by catching the approach of two men in his squad car’s rear-view mirror.
The officer exited his vehicle to confront the pair, when one of the would-be assassins opened fire without saying a word:
A Durham police officer dove for cover Thursday night after a man walked up and began shooting at him, police said Friday.
The incident happened about 10 p.m. on Lakeland Street, just north of Truman Street.
Police said Officer J.T. West was sitting in his patrol car, working on a report, when he saw two men approaching his car from behind.
As West got out of the car to speak to them, one of the men pulled out a gun and began firing, police said.
The man fired six shots at West, striking the patrol car once.
West fired two rounds in return. Police said it wasn’t known if West wounded either of the men.
West injured his wrist when he dove behind a staircase at a vacant apartment building at 1414 Lakeland St. He was treated at a nearby hospital and released.
Police said West and the men, who ran from the scene, never exchanged words.
The attempted assassination mimicked the tactics used to murder NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu on December 20."

Why We Isolated Cuba for 53 Years
Why We Isolated Cuba for 53 Years
Contrary to what President Obama has asserted, U.S. sanctions have worked. Communist Cuba is so economically weak it cannot export Marxism-Leninism as in the past, and pro-democracy advocates have become emboldened.
Contrary to what President Obama has asserted, U.S. sanctions have worked. Communist Cuba is so economically weak it cannot export Marxism-Leninism as in the past, and pro-democracy advocates have become emboldened.
For more than five decades, presidents, Democratic and Republican, politically isolated and economically sanctioned Communist Cuba for the best of reasons. Here are four of them:
- Cuba has been a communist prison since Fidel Castro came to power. From 1959 through the late 1990s, more than 100,000 Cubans were placed in forced labor camps, prisons and other places of incarceration. Between 15,000 and 17,000 people were shot. Castro justified his reign of terror with these words: “The revolution is all; everything else is nothing.”
- Communist Cuba exported Marxism-Leninism throughout Latin America, in Colombia, Guatemala, Venezuela and especially Nicaragua, which was taken over by the Marxist Sandinistas in the late 1970s. Another target was the small island nation of Grenada, which was to function as the third leg of a communist triangle of Cuba, Grenada and Nicaragua. President Reagan foiled the communists’ plans by freeing Grenada from a pro-Moscow radical regime. As a Venezuelan communist leader explained, the Cuban revolution was like a “detonator.”
- Communist Cuba often provided the ground troops for the Soviet Union’s strategy of inciting Third World revolution, especially in Africa. From 1975 to 1989, according to “The Black Book of Communism,” Cuba was the major supporter of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola. Castro sent an expeditionary force of 50,000 men to Angola, explaining in part why for decades Moscow propped up the Castro regime in the amount of $5 billion a year.
- Communist Cuba brought the world to the brink of nuclear war in 1962 when it allowed the Soviet Union to build sites for offensive nuclear missiles aimed at major cities in the United States. Castro knew what he was doing: Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev has said that Castro requested a Soviet nuclear attack on the United States.

Falkland Islands defence review after military deal between Russia and Argentina | UK | News | Daily Express:
"DEFENCES on the Falklands are being reviewed after it emerged Russia plans to offer Argentina long-range bombers."
The aircraft, which Moscow will swap for beef and wheat, would be able to mount air patrols over Port Stanley.
Ministry of Defence officials fear Buenos Aires would take delivery of the planes well before the deployment in 2020 of the Navy’s 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and its F-35B fighters, leaving a “real window of vulnerability”.
Defence cuts have left the Falklands with just four RAF Typhoon fighters, Rapier surface-to-air missiles and fewer than 1,200 troops, supported by a naval warship that visits throughout the year.

Illegal drugs and prostitution prop up British economy:
"It seems that the United Kingdom is desperate enough to show growth that it has abandoned any notion of pride.
In the latest measuring of world economies England managed to edge past long-time rival France to become the world’s 5th largest economy.
According to the UK’s Telegraph.co.uk, the change in status came after “a shake-up of national accounts this summer.”
They also note that the UK now includes illegal drug use and prostitution as economic factors which is apparently a rule of the European Union.
According to official estimates, prostitution added 5.7 billion pounds to the UK economy in 2013.
At the same time, illegal drugs added another 6.62 billion pounds or 8.87 billion dollars and 10.3 billion dollars respectively.
According to Zerohedge.com, the inclusion of this data shows just how prevalent it is in the UK. While tobacco and wine are the clear favorite intoxicants, wine is closely followed by illegal drugs and both eclipse liquor and beer.
The people of the United Kingdom now spend more money on illegal drugs and prostitution (when the numbers are combined) than they do on shoes, dairy products, and vegetables.
They only spent a slight amount more on household furnishings and electricity.
To make matters worse, the prostitution figures don’t include male prostitutes, which evidently make up 42 percent of sex workers in the UK.
If those numbers were added, they very well could surpass what people in the UK spend on electricity or gas.
