Top Bank Fraud Expert: All of the Big Banks’ Profits Come From Fraud

The country’s top white collar crime expert, William Black — who put over 1,000 top S&L executives in jail for fraud, and is a professor of law and economics at the University of Missouri — confirmed recently what the alternative media has been saying for years: the business plan of Wall Street is fraud. That’s their key profit center.

Black also says that a British parliamentary investigation Tories found that all of the retail profits of the largest banks in the UK came from fraud.

Well, experts say that we have to prosecute fraud or else the economy won’t EVER really recover and stabilize.

But the government is doing the exact opposite. Indeed, the Justice Department has announced it will go easy on big banks, and always settles prosecutions for pennies on the dollar (a form of stealth bailout. It is also arguably one of the main causes of the double dip in housing.)

“Western Media Credibility in Free Fall Collapse” — Paul Craig Roberts

The latest from the Gallup Poll is that only 32% of Amerians trust the print and TV media to tell the truth:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx

Republicans, 18 to 49 year old Americans, and independents trust the media even less, with trust rates of 14%, 26%, and 30%.

The only group that can produce a majority that still trusts the media are Democrats with a 51% trust rate in print and TV reporting. The next highest trust rate is Americans over 50 years of age with a trust rate of 38 percent.

The conclusion is that old people who are Democrats are the only remaining group that barely trusts the media. This mistaken trust is due to their enculturation. For older Democrats belief in government takes the place of Republican belief in evangelical Christianity. Older Democrats are firm believers that it was government under the leadership of President Franklin D. Roosevelt that saved America from the Great Depression. As the print and TV media in the 21st century are firmly aligned with the government, the trust in government spills over into trust of the media that is serving the government. As the generation of Democrats enculturated with this mythology die off, Democratic trust rates will plummet toward Republican levels.

It is not difficult to see why trust in the media has collapsed. The corrupt Clinton regime, which we might be on the verge of repeating, allowed a somewhat diverse and independent media to be 90% acquired by six mega-corporations. The result was the disappearance of independence in reporting and opinion.

American Media Shield Obama and Hillary From Libyan Debacle

With a new report from the British Parliament condemning their own country’s decision to help intervene in Libya, the mainstream media have started to rewrite history. The media’s revisionism seeks to repair the damaged foreign policy legacy of President Obama by making the decision to intervene in Libya the fault of foreign countries, particularly France and England.

A CNN article written with this purpose in mind bears the headline, “Britain’s Libya intervention led to growth of ISIS, inquiry finds.” Angela Dewan writes, “Britain’s military intervention in Libya was based on ‘inaccurate intelligence’ and ‘erroneous assumptions,’ a report released Wednesday found, pointing the finger at former Prime Minister David Cameron for failing to develop a sound Libya strategy.” Yet, she adds, “the United States became involved and played a key role.”

The role of America in this debacle is not just an addendum to the interference by Britain and France. As The New York Times reported back in February, Hillary Clinton’s “conviction would be critical in persuading Mr. Obama to join allies in bombing Colonel [Muammar] Qaddafi’s forces.” The Times article cites former Defense Secretary Robert Gates as crediting Mrs. Clinton’s influence in tipping the scales for Obama to favor intervening there.

Colorado Voter Fraud Revealed: Slew of Ballots Cast by the Dead Spark Investigation

A CBS affiliate’s evidence of voter fraud in Colorado has sparked an immediate investigation by Secretary of State Wayne Williams.

Election sleuthing by Brian Maass of KCNC-TV in Denver exposed multiple instances in recent years where dead Coloradans were still voting. A dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, and a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Mrs. Sosa’s husband Miguel died in 2008, but a vote was cast in his name one year later.

“This is the kind of thing you hear rumored, joked about in Chicago, that kind of thing,” Mr. Maasssaid during a Thursday evening broadcast. “Tonight, that changes. We did find voter fraud in Colorado that essentially waters down your vote.”

Exhibits You Won’t Find in the New National Museum of African American History and Culture, Part 1

Many exhibits in the new $500 million National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. will be worthwhile. They will highlight the struggle to overcome slavery and give black people the rights they were promised in the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Many black Americans have achieved great success. But black leadership in America, which is viewed by the media as almost exclusively liberal and Democratic, is not without major flaws. In addition, we think that the growing black conservative movement will not be given the attention it deserves. In the spirit of truth and transparency, we offer examples of exhibits that we have reason to believe, based on advance publicity, will not be available to those visiting the museum:

The Democratic Party’s history of slavery. The Republican Party was born in 1854 in opposition to slavery, and the Democratic Party was the party of slavery. As documented in Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie, “Hillary’s America,” the Democratic Party is historically racist. Democratic President Woodrow Wilson attended a screening of the pro-KKK film, “The Birth of a Nation,” in the White House itself. Wilson was so racist that liberal Princeton students have demanded removal of his name from campus buildings. Hillary Clinton once called former Ku Klux Klan member Senator Robert K. Byrd (D-WV) her “mentor,” saying after his death, “Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor Robert C. Byrd.” As noted by The Daily Caller, Byrd joined the Klan because he was worried that during World War II, he might have to fight alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” Yet, no Republican presidential candidate has gotten more than 15 percent of the black vote since 1965.

Black Lives Matter is a racist organization that praises cop-killer Assata Shakur. A Black Lives Matter T-shirt is on display in the museum, in order to highlight “contemporary” black issues. The “Black Lives Matter Exposed” project of Accuracy in Media looks at the violent nature of the organization, including its support for Assata Shakur, a member of the Black Liberation Army (BLA), a group that worked with the communist terrorist Weather Underground. Shakur, also known as Joanne Chesimard, killed New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster “execution style” by shooting him in the head as he lay wounded by gunfire. Obama has highlighted the killings of black people in a campaign carried forward by his own Department of Justice against local police forces. Yet, Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute notes that, as of July 9 of this year, whites made up 54 percent of the 440 police shooting victims, compared to 28 percent who were black. In 2015, whites made up 50 percent of the 987 fatal police shootings, while blacks made up 26 percent.

The Communist mentor of the first black President. Barack Obama’s election as the first black president was facilitated by liberal media bias, since his father-son relationship with black Communist pornographer and pedophile Frank Marshall Davis was deliberately ignored by the liberal press. Liberals in the media knew that his association with a prominent communist would sink his campaign. In 2008, during his first run for office, the relationship was ignored by influential reporters like David Maraniss of The Washington Post, whose own parents were Communist Party members. Even the Drudge Report would not sell advertising to tell the story of Frank Marshall Davis. In 2012, newspapers like The New York Times and USA Today and conservative media like Newsmax refused advertising for the film, “Dreams from My Real Father,” which cited evidence that Davis was actually Obama’s real father. Obama admitted that Davis, a writer for communist publications, had instructed him that black people have “reason to hate.”

Hillary: Know What? We Should Raise the Death Tax as High as 65 Percent

We’ve discussed the death tax a fair amount around here, and for better or for worse it usually breaks down to two arguments. Defenders of the tax say there’s no reason the children of rich people should feel entitled to get all their parents’ money, since they themselves did nothing to earn it. Critics of the tax respond by saying that if the parent earned the money, then it should be the parents’ decision who gets it, and at any rate there’s no particular reason the government should have a claim on it.

Did the government earn any of it?

Obviously not, but you know how liberals think. They believe that if any dollar is allowed to be in private-sector circulation and not in the hands of politicians, there had better be a darn good reason for it! Surely government would do more good with that dollar than anyone in the private sector would, particularly people connected to the person who actually earned it (and oh, by the way, already paid taxes on it).

Hillary Should be 50 Points Behind

With her unpopular positions and repulsive mindset, the real question is why isn’t Hillary Clinton 50 points behind in this election?

In a bizarre video message this week to the Laborers International Union of North America, Hillary Clinton asked, “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?”

She seemed concerned that her opponent, Donald Trump, had closed the gap in the polls. Clinton claimed that Trump was staunchly opposed to labor unions, but she had a long history of support.

She also noted her strong opposition to Right to Work laws. According to Clinton, “Right to Work is wrong for workers and wrong for America.”

In fact, Right to Work is only wrong for labor bosses and liberal Democrats like Hillary Clinton who depend on their donations. Right to Work laws have now been enacted in 26 states. In essence, these laws give workers the choice of whether to join a labor union or not with the decision having no impact on their employment status or their opportunity to be hired.

[Comment: That’s why communist union leaders want to kill right to work. It reduces the amount of money communist union leaders are able to give to communist politicians.]

Home Invaders Learn a Deadly Lesson When Their Intended Victim Fires Back

If Hillary Clinton gets her way, the concept of firearm ownership as an individual right will be eliminated. That’s not up for debate. She, her campaign, and her daughter have repeatedly signaled that she’ll appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn D.C. vs Heller as part of her ongoing effort to gut the 2nd Amendment.

Never mind that law-abiding citizens use firearms for self-defense every single day. Your ability to defend your family, home, and property irrelevant. Her agenda is all that matters.

One wonders what she’d say to the woman who appears in the video below — a woman whose life was probably saved by her individual right to own a firearm.

Justin: Don’t Mistake Anger for Fear and Anxiety

Ordinary Canadians are mad Trudeau wants Canada to become a post-national state and detests whatever true Canadian culture we have left

While in New York, Trudeau talked about how some politicians exploit peoples’ fears and anxieties for political gain. This anxiety was not limited to the fear of Syrian refugees who Trudeau and his trained seals cannot seem to get enough. It also applied to fears and anxieties about the economy. Trudeau spoke about the last federal election campaign that he said fueled Islamophobia and other phobias and pandered to “fear and insecurity.”

Many viewed Trudeau’s speech as an attack on Donald Trump without mentioning The Donald by name. It is probably what he was doing. But his remarks were aimed at Canada as well.

Like other elites on the left, the prime minister is totally incapable of understanding any viewpoint other than his own and those of his supporters fans. Many Canadians he thinks are anxious are not; they are angry but as a good Liberal, he is totally incapable of understanding the way many ordinary Canadians think.

Ordinary Canadians are mad the Trudeau government wants to bring thousands more of their pet Syrian refugees into the country regardless of the cost. They are mad these refugees are not properly vetted and bringing them to Canada as quickly as possible is more important than properly vetting them.

Man Suspected of Killing 5 People at Burlington Mall Arrested in Oak Harbor

A man suspected of killing 5 people at a Burlington mall Friday night has been arrested after a close to 24-hour manhunt.

Law enforcement sources tell KOMO 4 that the suspect’s name is Arcan Cetin.

The Cascade Mall shooting occurred at Cascade Mall in Burlington at about 7 p.m. Friday night.

The person of interest, as of yet unidentified by authorities, was arrested near Oak Harbor.

Oak Harbor is about 29 miles southwest of Burlington and roughly 93 miles north of Seattle.

The gunman was described by witnesses to police as a young Hispanic man dressed in black. Surveillance video captured him entering the mall unarmed and then recorded him about 10 minutes later entering the Macy’s with a “hunting type” rifle in his hand, Mount Vernon police Lt. Chris Cammock said.

Authorities did not say how the suspect may have obtained the weapon — whether he retrieved it from outside or picked it up in the mall — but they believe he acted alone. The weapon was recovered at the scene.

The identities of the victims — four women who ranged in age from a teenager to a senior citizen — were withheld pending autopsies and notification of family. The identity of the man who was fatally shot was also withheld and may not be released until Monday…

Media Now Demanding That Ballplayers Who Criticize Charlotte Rioters be Cut by Their Teams

Meet terrible USA Today sportswriter Bob Nightengale, who thinks free speech is only for people like him

Let me introduce you to Bob Nightengale. He is an enemy of the U.S. Constitution. He is an enemy of the truth. He is an enemy of free speech. He is an enemy of what’s good. He is an enemy of you.

Tough stuff, I know, but absolutely justified. Why? Because this is a man who depends on the First Amendment in order to have a job, yet wants to see another man’s job taken away from him because he exercised the exact same rights in the exact same way. Bob Nightengale is the worst kind of journalist: The kind who not only thinks the right to free speech is exclusively for people like him, but who also considers it his business to call out others and demand their downfall because they also exercise that exact same right.

Bob Nightengale is a clown. Unfortunately, this clown for some reason gets to write a sports column for USA Today, and today he abused that privilege by demanding that the Seattle Mariners release catcher Steve Clevenger. Why? What did Clevenger do? Did he play terrible baseball? Because if he did, you might argue it’s within the legitimate perview of a sportswriter to opine that he should be released. And I would agree.

But no: This is all about politics, and specifically about Clevenger’s expressions on Twitter about just how evil the actions of the Charlotte rioters have been. This is undeniably true, as Rob demonstrated yesterday here, here and here. The only thing Steve Clevenger did was say what most decent people think about the violent behavior of these people.

And for that, horrible sportswriter Bob Nightengale demands his head:

Police Hunt Gunman Who Killed 5 at Washington State Mall — Chicago Tribune

Police searched Saturday for a gunman authorities said opened fire in the makeup department of a Macy’s store at a mall north of Seattle, killing four females and one man, before fleeing toward an interstate on foot.

People fled, customers hid in dressing rooms and employees locked the doors of nearby stores after gunshots rang out just after 7 p.m. Friday at the Cascade Mall. A helicopter, search teams and K-9 units scoured the area for a rifle-carrying man.

“We are still actively looking for the shooter,” Washington State Patrol spokesman Sgt. Mark Francis said at a news conference. “Stay indoors, stay secure.”

Francis said police were seeking a Hispanic man wearing black and armed with a “hunting-type” rifle last seen walking toward Interstate 5.

Authorities say the motive was unknown for the shooting about 60 miles north of Seattle.

The FBI was assisting local authorities as dozens of police officers searched for the suspect. The FBI’s Seattle office said on Twitter that it “has no information to suggest additional attacks planned” in Washington state but did not elaborate.

A male victim died early Saturday at a Seattle hospital; authorities had previously announced the deaths of four females. No other details about the victims were provided, including their ages…

Police Release Videos of Shooting of Keith Scott

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department released body- and dash-cam videos of the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott on Saturday after days of mounting public pressure. In a press conference, Chief Kerr Putney said while the videos show no “absolute, definitive visual evidence” that the 43-year-old black man had a gun in his hand, other evidence from the scene does prove it.

Videos released Saturday do not show Keith Lamont Scott raising a weapon toward officers nor a gun in his hand.

But the footage, from a police dashboard camera and one body camera, captures the confrontation Tuesday in which an officer repeatedly orders Scott to drop his gun.

Scott drew the attention of officers who were trying to serve an arrest warrant on an unrelated suspect at the Village at College Downs apartment complex in University City because he had marijuana in his vehicle, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said Saturday.

Officers were going to continue on their original mission until an officer spotted a weapon in the vehicle, Putney said.

“It was not lawful for him to possess a firearm,” Putney said. “There was a crime he committed and the gun exacerbated the situation.”

Officer Brentley Vinson, who fired four shots at Scott, was not wearing a body cam so his visual perspective was not part of the footage. Putney said that body cameras are being rolled out across the department and not all tactical officers have them yet.

Putney said the videos support the larger fabric of evidence in the case that includes accounts from officers at the scene, forensics and interviews with witnesses.

Suspect in Custody in Washington State Mall Killings, State Police Say

BURLINGTON, Wash. — A suspect is in custody in the fatal shooting of five people at a mall in a rural town in western Washington, state police said late Saturday.

The suspect was not immediately identified. Earlier Saturday, police circulated several images from a surveillance camera showing a man with dark hair in a black, short-sleeved shirt, shorts and shoes entering the Cascade Mall in Burlington empty-handed on Friday evening, then later brandishing a rifle in a Macy’s department store.

At about 11:20 p.m Eastern, the Washington State Patrol tweeted, “#cascademallshooter is in custody.”

Four women died at the scene of the shooting, and a man died from his wounds after being rushed to Skagit Valley Hospital. Police said the ages of the victims ranged from a teenager to a senior citizen.

Hayley Thompson, the Skagit County coroner, said the victims would be identified only after she examines their bodies at the hospital….

Teen Sisters Hurt During Stockton Protest Felt Targeted Because They Are White

Stockton police are searching for the suspects in a vicious attack that happened on Friday against two teenaged sisters. Police say a group of protestors wearing Black Lives Matter shirts held a vigil and a protest near the intersection of Pacific and Yokuts avenues. Protestors were remembering Colby Friday, an African-American man who was shot and killed by Stockton police in August after he ignored an officer’s commands to drop his handgun. Police say two Caucasian girls left a local restaurant and passed by the protest when they were attacked by the protestors. What was supposed to be a peaceful protest remembering Colby Friday turned into a vicious brawl directed against two sisters, and now, investigators are looking for suspects.

The 12 Biggest Blunders in U.S. History

The bottom line: those intent on destroying America and establishing corporate-controlled world government have never been this scared, that someone they didn’t select has come this close to upending their applecart; especially since even if Trump loses this election, the forces that led to his rise are not going anywhere.

A few years ago I published a book, Four Cardinal Errors: Reasons for the Decline of the American Republic. Its purpose was to document the main long term tendencies that led to the country’s present decline, some traceable to specific events, others less so. Reviewing quickly: (1) the first generation of U.S. leaders failed to secure sufficient economic sovereignty to prevent foreign banker meddling. (2) The next generation to come along allowed the creation of a school system based on European, not American, first principles. (3) Over ensuing decades the country’s Christian ethos was replaced by a materialist one. Basic moral valuation began to slide accordingly. (4) No one noticed the influence of the British Fabian Society (founded in 1884), prime movers of British-American collectivism.

This article will pinpoint specific blunders, as opposed to trends. These are, of course, blunders given a perspective which sees the rightness or beneficence of maintaining economic freedom, sound money, and Constitutionally limited government based around a Christian ethos. Globalists have never shared this perspective, of course.

The Black-White Wage Gap Continued to Expand Under Obama

According to a new report from the Economic Policy Institute, the wage gap between white and black Americans was 18.1%in 1979. Astonishingly, as Statista’s Niall McCarthy reports, it has continued to expand ever since. By 2015, whites earned an average hourly real wage of $25.22 compared to $18.49 for blacks, making for a 26.7% wage gap.

What is Going on in Charlotte is Far More Important Than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Divorce

While one of America’ s largest cities is being ripped in two, most Americans appear to be far more interested in the drama surrounding Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’ s divorce. As Charlotte braces for a third night of rioting and violence, the mainstream media is full of headlines such as “ Welp, the Jolie-Pitt Divorce Got Real Depressing Real Fast” and “ Even the Dalai Lama has something to say about Brangelina’s divorce” . Yes, the “ Brangelina divorce” is an important cultural moment that illustrates our ongoing moral and social decay, but what is going on in Charlotte is far more important. Trust in our most important institutions is deeply broken, and Americans are increasingly choosing chaos and violence over peaceful discourse. For a very long time I have been warning that these kinds of riots were coming, and the thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted every day is starting to rapidly disappear.

There had been hope that things would settle down after the first couple of nights of chaos in Charlotte, but as I write this article protesters have already massed downtown despite a midnight curfew imposed by Mayor Jennifer Roberts…

Prime Minister Trudeau Hell Bent on Signing the CETA Trade Agreement, If Ratified by Parliament, “It Will be Game Over for Canada”

Our Prime Minister appears to be hell-bent on signing the CETA agreement on October 27th. If he does, and it is ratified by parliament, it will be game over for Canada. We will be doomed to another 10 years of austerity economics — – or worse.

That will be the kiss of death for any worthwhile banking reform that would make Canada prosperous again, and prevent us from using the Bank of Canada creatively as we did from 1939 to 1974 with such amazing success.

CETA is both illegal and immoral because it unilaterally transfers power from parliament to international bankers and transnational corporations, and reverses a thousand years of progress in establishing government of by and for the people since the Magna Carta was signed.

Come and Hear THE HONOURABLE PAUL HELLYER (Former minister of national defense, and acting prime minister) Explain how the Canadian prosperity train came off the rails, and exactly how to put it back on again.

Former Goldman Chief Economist Jim O’Neill Quits UK Government

While the UK has so far avoided to implode in a depressionary supernova in the aftermath of Brexit contrary to what most of the “experts” and Tokyo-owned UK journalists had predicted, changes are taking place, mostly among the top echelons of power. Earlier today, the latest political fallout from the Brexit vote was the news that former Goldman economist, and BRIC acornym creator, Lord Jim O’Neill, resigned from the U.K. government, weeks after newspaper reports suggested he was disappointed with Prime Minister Theresa May’s policy toward China.

In a letter to May released on Friday, the Manchester native who was a key advocate of the UK forging strong links with China and was commercial secretary for 18 months, said he joined the government in 2015 to help improve the economy of northern England and to boost ties with emerging markets such as China. Admitting that David Cameron’s and the BOE’s forecasts for a post-Brexit apocalypse were wrong, As Bloomberg reports, O’Neill wrote to the new Prime Minister that “the case for both to be at the heart of British economic policy is even stronger following the referendum, and I am pleased that, despite speculation to the contrary, both appear to be commanding your personal attention.”

It remains to be seen if O’Neill will now complete the revolving door, and go back to his old-employer, Goldman…

‘Swedes Must Integrate With Migrants’ Says Government-Backed Multicultural Propaganda

A charity backed by the Swedish government has launched a campaign denouncing the assimilation of migrants and telling natives to “integrate” with foreign “cultures and languages”. “It’s time to realise the new Swedes will claim their space” an ad insists, describing the Nordic nation as a “safe space” for migrants and concluding: “There is no way back. Sweden will never be like it was.”

The campaign is called “The New Country” (hashtag #detnyalandet) with a website appearing alongside the film, arguing that residents should adopt foreign “cultures” and “languages”, rather than expect new arrivals to become Swedish. The charity behind it is Individuell Människohjälp (IM), which translates as Individual Relief. However, they go by the English name ‘Swedish Development Partner’ and say they are…

Caught on Tape: Did the US Target Syrian Aid Convoy With Hellfire Missile?

Footage of the nighttime attack on the Syrian aid convoy in Aleppo has surfaced. But there’s something curious about how the footage has been appearing on Western news reports. A commenter on the Moon of Alabama blog, PavewayIV, made the following observations about what appears in the video, and what it suggests. First, however, here’s an unedited version of the blast, courtesy of ABC:

In the screen cap above, you can see what looks to be a cloud of sparks following an initial explosion. According to PavewayIV, this is a signature of the Metal-Augmented Charge (MAC) Hellfire AGM-114N, the Predator drone’s typical payload.

The fiery cloud is produced by the residue of the fine-mesh fluorinated aluminum particles (the “metal augmentation”). Aside from the ABC footage, most other networks have shown edited versions that make this signature difficult to detect.

For example, here’s AP’s version:

Shakey-cam added for jihadi-vision effect? Why would they do this?

Thermobaric Hellfire air-blasts don’t leave craters, and they typically start fires. No craters are visible in footage of the burned convoy.

The Russians have thermobaric bombs, too, according to PavewayIV, but they use different particles and their blast patterns are different: either no “sparkles” or long-duration “sparkles”, not the fast-duration flash as seen in the video of the Aleppo blast.

As we reported yesterday, the Russians detected a Predator drone which took off from Incirlik airbase in Syria, flew to the precise location of the convoy, arrived before the strike, stayed for a while, then left after the damage was done.

Surely just a coincidence…

Hillary Clinton Sponsored Secretive Arab Spring Program That Destabilized Middle East

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. State Department under the leadership of Secretary Hillary Clinton continued a program to embolden foreign, revolutionary, social media activists to agitate for regime change in various parts of the world. The program arguably had major, detrimental consequences for the trajectory of the Middle East.

Recent leaks show a memo that top Clinton aide Huma Abedin sent to her boss stating, “I’m giving you credit for inspiring the ‘peaceful’ protests,” with regard to Egypt, with quotation marks around the word “peaceful.”

The United States government is believed to have utilized a program called the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit, co-founded by a close Hillary Clinton adviser, to provide networking opportunities for an activist plotting to overthrow Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak several years before the “Arab Spring” protests that led to widespread regime change in the Middle East.

Through the Alliance of Youth Movements Summit, the U.S. learned that the Muslim Brotherhood was supportive of a plan to overthrow Mubarak. The U.S.-supported Muslim Brotherhood later briefly ruled Egypt after Mubarak’s ouster.

[Comment: Egyptians had the good sense to toss out Muslim Brotherhood and arrest all their leaders. When will the US do the same to this subversive organization?]

Priya Unnikrishnan | HENB | Coimbatore | Sept 23, 2016:: A 36-year-old Hindu Munnani functionary was hacked to death by a four-member gang here, leading to tension in the district and neighboring Tirupur with the outfit calling for a bandh on Friday.

C Sasikumar, district spokesperson of the organization, was returning home in Subramaniampalayam, in the outskirts, on a two-wheeler when the suspected Jihadi assailants chased him on motorcycles and attacked him with sickles late last night.

Race-Based Appointments Inserted Into New Zealand Bill

New Zealand First does not want race-based appointments taking hold in this country, NZ First Leader and Northland MP Rt Hon Winston Peters said today. “New Zealanders should be very concerned about the Taranaki Iwi [tribes] Claims Settlement Bill — it hands power to iwi by giving them six decision-making roles on a local authority without being elected. “This law will force the Taranaki Regional Council to appoint six iwi members, three on the Policy and Planning committee, and three on the Regulatory Functions Committee. “They will not be elected, but nominated by iwi, need not be subject to an iwi vote, and they will be paid for by the ratepayers.

How Europe’s Most Liberal Nation Gagged Its Own People on Migration Attacks: The Swedish Conspiracy to Hide the Truth About the Refugee Influx

A 22-year-old woman social worker had been murdered at a home for underage migrant boys near the country’s second city of Gothenburg. She was said to have been knifed by a 15-year-old Somalian migrant, who has since appeared in court charged with her killing.

The murder put ultra-liberal Sweden’s controversial open-door policy under scrutiny. It boosted the popularity of both the Right-wing Sweden Democrats party (SD), which wants to stop the flow of migrants, and also the middle of the road Moderates’ Party, which is campaigning for a temporary break on arrivals.

Last year, 163,000 from the war-torn Middle East and poverty-stricken Africa came to this country of 9.8million people. This is the highest per capita ratio in any EU nation — easily topping even Angela Merkel’s Germany. Sweden has accepted about one in seven of all the migrants entering Europe.

A huge number — 33,000 last year — were unaccompanied minors. The Somalian accused of the social worker’s murder claimed to be one. They are attracted by Sweden’s fast-tracked asylum decisions and free housing for under-18s, as well as a government promise that those permitted to stay (and the majority are) can later bring in their brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers…

Sweden’s recent story of migration dates back to 1975 when the national parliament decided that the country should become multi-cultural. At the time, the population stood at eight million — virtually all indigenous Swedes — – and they had a proud history of offering help to outsiders.

The immigration policy was pursued relentlessly by the ruling Left-wing Social Democrats for the next four decades.

The Swedish government seized the moral high-ground in Europe by offering shelter to almost anyone who knocked. Those who criticised the radical plan were condemned as racist in what has become the EU’s citadel of political correctness. By last year, 16 per cent of Sweden’s population was foreign-born — many of them from Muslim countries. As the migration crisis has escalated, any citizen who questioned whether the country could afford such largesse and expressed concerns about its changing culture has been accused of bigotry.

Hungary Likely to Reject European Union Refugee Quota

Viktor Orban, Hungary’s Prime Minister, is not taking any chances. On state television, advertisements warn of a growing migrant menace. Billboards across the country proclaim that Brussels plans to relocate a city’s worth of potential terrorists to Hungary. While ministers and lawmakers from the ruling right-wing Fidesz party are calling on supporters to go to the polls on 2 October to make sure Orban gets the answer he wants to the following referendum question: “Do you want the European Union to be able to order the mandatory settlement of non-Hungarian citizens in Hungary without Parliament’s consent?”

New DHS Emails Reveal Efforts to Rush Citizenship Grants “Due to Election”

Just a couple of days ago we noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had “mistakenly” granted citizenship to over 850 immigrants from “countries of concern to national security” even after they had been flagged for deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) (see “DHS Admits “Mistakenly” Granting Citizenship To 858 Immigrants From ‘Countries Of Concern To National Security’“). Now, newly disclosed DHS emails, indicating a rush to “process as many [citizenship] cases as possible due to the election year,” may help explain why so many “mistakes” were made.

A recent letter from Senator Chuck Grassley (R — Iowa) to the DHS, expressed concerns over the newly revealed emails and whether there may be efforts within U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) to naturalize as many potential voters as possible before election day. Per Grassley’s letter (which can read in it’s entirely below), someone in the Houston USCIS field office sent the following email to office staff asking employees to consider working overtime in order to process as many naturalization applications as possible before the election:

  1. “His name is Arcan Cetin, and according to his Facebook page, he is from Turkey.”

    Well, the police reports originally said he was “Hispanic.” I didn’t realize that Turkey was a Catholic Spanish-speaking country. I’d better brush up on my geography…is Turkey in Central or South America?

  2. Another example of tolerance in Islam, Christian Jordanian writer & cartoonist murdered today for being anti-Islam. Nahed Hattar, may the Lord give him peace.

  3. Our news mentioned there was a big amount of nails found around the scene in Hungary, gotta wait what the official version will be soon

  4. Yet another attack on a mall by a muslim immigrant where the media and Police are again baffled as to motive. Reading the news on the MSM sites these days is a bit of a game. They leave out the important bits, which the reader is left to guess. I’m getting quite good at it now.

  5. This comment was left by Smitty on another post; it should have been put here.

    Everything we are seeing was engineered years ago. Starvation is the quickest way to dissolve a society.

    How to create a food crisis. The following videos are an example of how our own government is complicit in creating a future food crisis. The first video is a propaganda piece explaining how we no longer have food reserves. The second is the article explaining how our own government sold off our reserves of food to help the creation of a crisis. This crisis creation is not just an Obama creation it has been slowly developed over many years. Both political parties need a major crisis to further the international trade schemes they have developed to prop up a multi nation government. George Herbert Walker Bush spoke of the system in a UN speech during his presidency as well as Obama during his last speech to the UN just a few days ago. In the first link the video places food instability as the direct cause of the so called Arab Spring. Our overlords have many plans and none of them include liberty. From George Herbert Walker Bush to Obama a slow push has been instituted to slowly guide us unwillingly into a governmental system that will truly enslave the next generation. Pray for our nation that we will have the fortitude to resist the final push when it arrives, otherwise we will condemn the next generation to an horrific world.

  6. Update on Budapest explosion. I was a bomb and it seems the perp(s) were targeting the police who had their regular route there. One officer a woman in critical state. So far they said it seems like it was an IED but fairly strong explosive material. While we wait for the official report, the Soros rented Leftist socialist parties and media started attacking the government saying it must have organised the event to strengthen the population resolve to say NO on the referendum. One of the “politician” went as far to deny the fact of the explosion. What a moron. Now TEK is included in the investigation (Hungarian SWAT). I am sure if the cult of Islam had a part it will be in the report. For now this part is not confirmed yet. (The presence of active Soros propaganda seems to indicate that is something is up)

  7. Update about the explosion in Budapest 2:
    It is now accepted fact it as a bomb targeting specifically the police officers. The female officer still in critical state unconscious. The police mobilized for the whole country. Airports border crossings locked down.

  8. The budapester attack was domestic terrorism presumably, based on the circumstances. However, every theory is very fluid now.
