Conference Board: Full Speed Ahead for the U.S. Economy
The Conference Board, a global economic analytics firm that tries to look ahead, has just issued an “all clear, full speed ahead” signal for the U.S. economy. Its three primary indicators — the leading, the coincident, and the lagging — were all up in October, following gains in previous months. Exclaimed Ataman Ozyildirim, director of research, “The U.S. LEI [Leading Economic Index] increased sharply in October, as the impact of the hurricanes dissipated. The growth of the LEI, coupled with widespread strengths among its components, suggests that solid growth in the U.S. economy will continue through the holiday season and into the New Year.”

Does anyone have a calculator? It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of all of the unusual and suspicious deaths of people unlucky enough to be part of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s inner-circle.
Houston, Texas trial lawyer and Democrat mega-donor Steve Mostyn died on Thursday in what authorities are saying was a “suicide,” according to the Houston Chronicle. Mr. Mostyn was only 46, he left behind a wife and several children, and earlier this year had announced that he was going to be stepping away from politics to spend more time with his family.
Details about how Mr. Mostyn allegedly committed suicide are slim. However, his family said that it happened after he “suddenly” became afflicted with some sort of mental illness then took his own life, although they weren’t clear as to what type of mental illness he suffered from.
But it is worth noting that Mr. Mostyn had never suffered from mental illness in the past, according to his family, further raising suspicions over the manner in which he died.

Entire Baltimore Neighborhood Under Lockdown: “Police Declared Martial Law”
Five days ago, Det. Sean Suiter, a married father of five and an 18-year veteran with the Baltimore Police, was patrolling the streets of West Baltimore around 5pm last Wednesday when he saw suspicious activity. Suiter approached a man and was shot point blank in the head, in a summary execution. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition where he later died of his injuries.
In response, Baltimore Police reacted with ‘fire and fury’ turning the neighborhood where Suiter was shot into an “open-air prison”, shutting down city streets and enabling checkpoints for citizens while officers in tactical gear went door to door, according to Baltimore Brew. Residents were prohibited from entering their own neighborhood unless they showed proper identification, these extreme measures have been in place for 4-5 days.

Herschel Walker: ‘I Absolutely Think the Protests Are Upsetting, And I Blame the Commissioner’
Herschel Walker had a legendary college and pro football career, in which he absorbed and delivered some of the most memorable hits in the history of the game. Now, in his fifties, Walker is still delivering hits.
But this time the former Heisman Trophy winner isn’t meting out punishment to linebackers and defensive backs, this time he’s targeting the commissioner of the NFL.
Speaking to reporters, Walker said, “I absolutely think the protests are so upsetting, and I blame the commissioner. I know people are going to be angry when I say it, but he should have stopped the protests at the very beginning.”
Walker continued, “Guys, let me tell you this. Our flag is very special, and black lives matter, but what we should do is go to Washington after the season and protest there instead. We have young men and women fighting for the flag. And we have to respect the White House.”

‘Ketchup on Canvas’ Modern Art Sells for Nearly $50 Million Dollars
This is not satire
While media attention was focused on the sale of a rare Leonardo da Vinci painting, a piece of modern art being derisively described as “ketchup on canvas” just sold for nearly $50 million dollars.
During an auction at Christie’s in New York last night, de Vinci’s 500-year-old “Christ as Salvator Mundi” ended up selling for a whopping $450 million dollars, more than four times its estimated price.
However, another piece of “art,” appropriately titled Untitled, was bought for $46,437,500. As you can see, it resembles what would probably happen if a 2-year-old toddler was left on its own with a bottle of ketchup.
According to Christie’s, the “art” is “the largest example from Cy Twombly’s legendary Bacchus series.”…
“Red is the colour of wine, but also of blood, and these canvases encompass both the sensual pleasure and violent debauchery associated with the god. This contrast is echoed in the paintings’ combination of euphoric loops that soar upwards and vermilion floods of paint that ooze and cascade down the canvas. The unfurling gestures of these paintings were made, like Henri Matisse’s works in old age, with a brush affixed to the end of a pole, which lends them their vitality and scale.”
As we highlight in the video below, the above gibberish is an example of obscurantism, a rhetorical device modern art snobs use to disguise the fact that their “art” is actually completely meaningless.
It’s a fancy way of confusing people so that their initial discernment is temporarily suspended, making them afraid of criticizing such “art” for fear of appearing uncultured or ignorant.
In reality, their first instinct is completely correct. The vast majority of modern art is talentless trash — sometimes literally trash — and the entire industry is a scam to con pretentious idiots out of their money.
Watch the video below.

Soros-Tied Donor Network to Ramp Up Efforts to Elect Left-Wing
The Democracy Alliance, a secretive left-wing dark money donor network whose members each direct hundreds of thousands in funding to progressive groups, is set to ramp up efforts to elect far-left prosecutors across the nation, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The documents, which were gathered from the Democracy Alliance’s three-day fall investment conference last week at the posh La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, Calif., show that electing ultra-progressive prosecutors in cities across the country is of high importance to the deep-pocketed donors as part of their “resistance” efforts and 2018 strategy.
Closed events were held at the summit on issues ranging from using the state of California as a progressive template to expand elsewhere, to the “importance of prosecutor races.”
“Progressive prosecutors are winning — from Florida to Pennsylvania, Texas to Illinois,” a flyer for a session reads. “Bold reform candidates have been propelled by movement players and driven record voter turnout of African Americans, Latinos and Millennials — and are shifting the political narrative…

Understanding the Uranium One “Scandal”
Why is there an investigation of collusion between Russia, Donald Trump and the Trump campaign when there is smoking gun evidence of collusion and more between Russian and other foreign assets, Hillary and Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation?
Perhaps the most damning evidence today, however, exists in the form of a FBI informant who possesses video and audio evidence and documentation to support the allegations of the use of positions of power and influence to sell one of our nation’s most important natural resources, and the abuse of power to cover it up.
Peter Schweizer, author of Clinton Cash, The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, was one of the first to document the story behind what has become known as the Uranium One scandal. Mr. Schweitzer painstakingly detailed the events that led to the transfer of 20% of uranium from the United States to Russia through a complex and confusing maze of domestic and foreign businesses. Building upon that foundation, the American public is now learning much more. The information being uncovered is creating an even stronger case of self-enrichment at the cost of national security.
The Uranium One “scandal” is not a scandal at all, but a host of potential crimes against the United States. Not just one crime, but many overlapping crimes. It not only involves the Clintons, but many others who potentially conspired to use their positions of power and political influence to facilitate one of the most egregious crimes against America-and others who assisted in covering it up.
The following is presented as a detailed (but not exhaustive) outline, in chronological format, of key people and events comprising what is known as the Uranium One scandal. It is intended as a reference resource for those truly desirous to understand the depth and scope of one of the most disturbing allegations of criminality in modern U.S. history.

Catalonia Crisis Latest: Juncker Condemns Puigdemont Over Catalan Referendum
The European Commission President praised Madrid’s decision to impose direct rule on Catalonia two weeks after the north-east region unilaterally declared independence.
The Euro-chief rejected “any form of separatism that weakens Europe” and launched a stealthy swipe at ousted Catalan regional president Carles Puigdemont, before blasting him for “violating” the law.
Mr Juncker told Spanish daily newspaper El País: “As president of the Commission, I support the Spanish government. And do you know why? Because I am in favour of who respects the law.
“The EU is based on the rule of law, and what my Catalan friends have done is the opposite: violating the law.”

Crisis: Germany Has Failed to Form a New Government for First Time Since 1949
Germany’s liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) walked away from coalition talks Sunday night after weeks of tense negotiations, leaving Germany without any viable options for forming a new government for the first time since the Second World War.
The discussions come after the poor election result for Germany’s traditional mainstream parties in September which saw the votes shares of Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) and left-wing Martin Schulz’s Social Democrats (SPD) plunge to historic lows. Small insurgent parties benefitted most, with the right-wing populists Alternative for Germany (AfD) surging to third largest party.

European Union — Shock Warning From German Professor Over EU Superstate Plans
Johannes Becker said the EU will face “strong resistance” from European publics if it presses ahead with plans to centralise more and more power in Brussels.
The top academic, who is director the institute for public economics at Münster University, said there are “limits” to how much federalisation people will accept.
Chief eurocrat Jean-Claude Juncker, in lockstep with French president Emmanuel Macron, has put forward ambitious plans for a superstate including a eurozone budget and EU army.
The pair want Europe to develop its own common immigration, asylum, diplomatic, defence, labour and taxation policies in a concerted drive for a federalised post-Brexit EU.
But speaking at a Centre for European Reform event in Brussels today, Professor Becker said that whilst certain “technocratic” tweaks may pass unnoticed many of the proposals will rile voters.

Italy’s Five Star Movement Takes Control of Former Mafia Town Ostia
Italy’s populist Five Star Movement has won a local election in Ostia, a seaside suburb of Rome once ruled by organized crime.
The vote was the first in Ostia since police dissolved the district’s government two years ago due to its infiltration by the mafia, the first time such a step had been taken in Rome. It was also closely watched as a barometer of public sentiment ahead of a national election that must be held next spring.
A first round of voting on November 5th left the Five Star Movement going head to head with the centre-right coalition Brothers of Italy, with the ruling Democratic Party failing to make the run-off.
The Five Star Movement won just under 60 percent in the second round on Sunday, making its candidate Giuliana Di Pillo the new president of Ostia’s council with 15 of her party colleagues sitting alongside her.

Meanwhile in Sweden, Crime Hits All Time Highs
It appears President Trump, having warned that Sweden’s huge intake of refugees would lead to “problems like they never thought possible,” has been vindicated.
And now nine months later, Trump’s worst fears — and the lies of Swedish authorities — have been confirmed.
Bloomberg reports that the number of Swedes who were victims of crimes such as fraud and sexual offenses jumped to the highest level on record last year.
A survey by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention showed that 15.6 percent of people suffered one or more offences against the person (defined in the survey as assault, threats, sexual offences, robbery, fraud or harassment) last year. That’s up from 13.3 percent in 2015 and the highest number recorded since the annual Swedish Crime Survey started in 2006.

Sexual Assaults at Highest Ever Level in Sweden, New Figures Reveal
Criminology Researcher, Manne Gerell, told The Local:
What really stands out is that this is such a broad increase, affecting almost all types of crime. I think this rise is worrying; it’s something that deserves a lot of attention. We’ve had declining or at least stable rates of victimisation over the past ten years at least in Sweden, and now it looks like the trend has shifted to an increase in crime.
In particular, acts of harassment and sexual assaults are on the rise in Sweden, with the percentage of victims increasing from 4.1% to 5.5% and from 0.8% to 2.4% respectively (2012-2016 figures). Although this change in percentage may seem small, please bear in mind that the increase in sexual assaults from 1.7% in 2015 to 2.4% in 2016 is an increase to a whopping 181,000 people. In fact, 4.1% of the total female population in Sweden say they have been a victim of at least one sexual offence.
Brå suggest that only around 11% of sexual offence victims choose to report the act to police…
As well as juggling the crimes included in the above Brå survey — and as well as searching for the tens of thousands of declined asylum seekers that have disappeared into the country without a trace — the Swedish Security Police (Säpo) revealed in August that they receive on average around 6000 leads per month in relation to terrorism and extremism. This is a figure which is up from 2000 leads per month in 2012.

Turkey Islamizes Denmark With Mosques
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan clearly sees Turks living in the West as a spearhead of Islam.
“Yes, integrate yourselves into German society but don’t assimilate yourselves. No one has the right to deprive us of our culture and our identity”, Erdogan told Turks in Germany as early as in 2011.
This assessment of Milli Görüs, however, does not seem to bother Danish authorities, who appear to see no problems with their cities becoming Islamized by the Turks. How many more mosques will it take?

Western MSM ‘Shocked’ At 60,000-Strong Nationalist March in Warsaw — But Are They Really?
MSM a tool of the establishment
The mainstream media coverage of the annual nationalist march in Poland was far more critical this year than on previous occasions.
Considering how similar events were previously covered, analysts wonder if the change results from Brussels’s feud with Warsaw…
The change from the previous years is apparent. The Independence Day marchers were”members of far-right groups” and “radical nationalists” for the media just a year ago. The media didn’t refer to them with loaded terms like “fascists,” even when the rallies turned violent.
What apparently changed over the past year is that the EU has decided to escalate the conflict with Warsaw over a number of issues such as controversial media and judiciary reforms. Just days after Independence Day, the EU Parliament passed a damning resolution, which said the Polish government must condemn the “xenophobic and fascist march” and “suspend large-scale logging” in the Bialowieza forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, among other things.
[Comment: Set the language and you control people’s thoughts. Globalist media apparatus is demonizing any and all nationalist demonstrations as “xenophobic” and “nazi-like”. The goal is to paint those who are against the globalsit Kalergi mass migration plan as racists and evil people.]

An Open Letter to Philippines President Duterte
You have recently had a confrontation with Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau. He has chastised you for taking action against your country’s drug dealers. You have told him that you don’t like foreigners like him telling your country what to do and that he should mind his own business. Congratulations for speaking out against him !! Here is some background information that will show you that Trudeau deserves to be thoroughly shamed.
(1) He is a Narcissicist. Like the character Narcissus in Greek mythology, Trudeau loves to look at his “reflection”. He is in love with his own appearance. Like many in the Old Testament, he has created a graven image to worship. For Trudeau, that image is a picture of himself. His God is himself and his views. He delights in being told he is handsome and in people flattering him for his views. In Canada, he is obsessed with taking selfies. In the rest of the world, he devours adulation. In reality, he is Canada’s Barbie Doll which the political party he belongs to has cynically foisted on Canada so that they could win Canada’s last federal election.
(2) He is very shallow. He tries to compensate for his superficiality by making grandiose intellectual-sounding statements to his foreign media worshippers such as The New York Times as well as to groveling domestic media like The Toronto Star. In those statements, he has declared that (A) “Canada is the world’s first post-national state” and (B) Canada has no dominant culture. (A) is a declaration that he will not protect the needs of Canada’s two largest cultural groups (the English and the French) who founded modern Canada. (B) is his xenophilic promise to Canada’s growing immigrant population that he will satisfy their needs first. Many of the ancestors of Canada’s majority population have been in Canada for hundreds of years. Before he and his father became prime ministers, those ancestors created the Canada which became the envy of many parts of the world. However, Justin Trudeau has contempt for the work of modern Canada’s founders and is diligently working to destroy the heritage they provided to Canada.
(3) He is a shameless traitor to all Canadians who have European origins…

Suu Kyi: Illegal Migration Spreads Terror
Much of the world’s conflict can be attributed to illegal immigration, which spreads terrorism and instability, Myanmar leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi said in a speech on Monday.
Speaking to European and Asian leaders gathered in Myanmar’s capital, Suu Kyi said the world is in a new period of unrest partly because of “illegal immigration’s spread of terrorism and violent extremism,” according to the Associated Press. She also cited “social disharmony and even the threat of nuclear war.”
Suu Kyi’s remarks at the annual EU-Asian foreign ministers conference come as Myanmar is embroiled in a humanitarian crisis over the forced exodus of Rohingya Muslims from the country’s western Rakhine state. Although she did not mention the Rohingya situation in her speech, Suu Kyi’s reference to illegal immigration echoed the widespread view among Myanmar’s majority Buddhist population that the Rohingya are illegal interlopers and responsible for terrorist attacks.

It’s been documented and verified that they are more likely to burn down churches, more likely to commit mass murders and mass shootings and so Jeff Sessions’ reality and his assessment on these people I think is both lacking in facts and both reality.”

NFL on Life Support? Pictures of Empty Stadiums Paint Scary Picture for Future of Cop-Protesting NFL
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that Americans are sick and tired of watching NFL players disrespect our national anthem, or taking a knee as a way to join forces with Black Lives Matter to push an anti-law-enforcement narrative. Most of all, it’s about men and women who previously watched NFL games as a way to escape the stress of their everyday lives, who are unwilling to support teams who put progressive activism before the game.
Since the Colin Kaepernick and his fellow players started their Black Lives Matter kneeling campaign, social media has been lit up with photos of empty stadiums, proving that fans are not interested in supporting players who disrespect our flag and our law enforcement officers. The photos seem to suggest that every week more and more seats remain empty in NFL stadiums across America. Here’s a look at a number of NFL stadiums today:
Check out this photo of the Cleveland Browns stadium:
[Comment from Harry Lowrey • Works at U.S. Navy SEAL & SWCC Page “There’s a bigger picture most people aren’t understanding about this whole kneeling thing. The goal of the globalists is the dismantling of our American heritage, and thereby the destruction of our identity as a nation. Removing historical statues is the beginning. Removing the flag and the anthem is next. Ultimately the goal is to remove the constitution. If we keep giving in and continue to accept the dismantling of our culture and the removal of our heritage, then we become what the globalists want… A 3rd world country prime for socialist control. This tactic isn’t new. It has been their game plan for a long time. There are many writings explaining this movement. We are seeing it unfold before our eyes. It’s deeper than what you see on the surface. No matter how tired you are of listening to the back and forth about the flag and our anthem, you mustn’t grow weary. Don’t allow yourself to get to the point where you say ‘Just stop playing the anthem at sporting events’ so we can get back to football.”]

The Dangerous Transgender Movement’s Big Plans for Six States in 2018
While campaigning in September for the Virginia House of Delegates, Danica Roem, a 33-year-old transgender-identified gay man who presents as a woman and appropriates female pronouns, released a YouTube advertisement (“Danica Roem: Inspire,” Sept. 25, 2017) showing himself at a bathroom mirror, wearing a dress, applying face powder, and taking pills from bottles labeled as estrogen and a testosterone blocker.
Speaking in voiceover, the candidate says, “I’m Danica Roem, I’m running for office because my identity shouldn’t be a big deal. Because this shouldn’t be newsworthy or political. This is just who I am. There are millions of transgender people in this country. And we all deserve representation in government. So when I stand up on the statehouse floor and the speaker says, ‘The gentlewoman from Manassas,’ LGBTQ kids everywhere will know they can succeed because of who they are, not despite it.”
When Roem mentions LGBTQ children, the video cuts in sequence to headshots of three teens, who appear male.
As I explain in my forthcoming book, War in the Women’s Room: How to Get Men in Dresses Out of Women’s Spaces, Save Your Children from Confusion about Their Sex, and Undo the Transgender Coup, published by Dangerous Books, it would be hard to find a more perfect 30-second summary of the transgender activist movement’s erasure of women, exploitation of children, and demolition of the lesbian and gay rights movement. All of which makes Roem’s transgender identity newsworthy, political, and a big deal.
On Nov. 7, Roem won the election in District 13 by using his transgender identity to get large out-of-state donations enabling him to outspend his opponent, incumbent Bob Marshall (R), by a ratio of 2.7 to 1. Roem spent $779,289 compared to Marshall’s $290,302, according to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP). Roem (D) also used his transgender identity to smear Marshall as a bigot for proposing a law designed to protect the safety and privacy of women in restrooms.
To get people to ignore that his transgender identity was the most important issue in his campaign, Roem’s YouTube advertisement uses the persuasion technique of getting people to “think past the sale.” “The sale” in this case is Roem’s appropriation of a female identity, and the reason he wants you to think past it is because the act of males claiming that femaleness can be conferred at will, and by pills, clothes, and cosmetics is destructive to the rights of women and reality itself.
Transgender rights do not have to usurp anyone else’s rights, as I show in my book.
However, by demanding to be accepted as a biological woman and appropriating female pronouns, Roem instead is embracing the transgender activist movement.

The Global Economic Impact of Terrorism
Every year, terrorist attacks make a considerable impact on the world’s economy. According to the 2017 Global Terrorism Index, the impact fell by seven percent in 2016, the second year in succession that it declined. Despite the decline, costs still reached a grim $84 billion last year. Since the attacks on 9/11, economic losses from terrorism generally fluctuated before reaching $41 billion in 2007, primarily as a result of violence in Iraq. Amid the rise of ISIS, there was a further surge in losses since 2012 and they reached a peak of $104 billion in 2014.

Mugabe = Supreme Oxygen Thief = Treat Accordingly
Kim Jong Un is one of the few other “living” beings that merits the most unpleasant attentions of this worlds least compassionate, professional sadists.
Any further words of mine will not be printable.
The US State Department urged a quick return to civilian rule in Zimbabwe.
Has the State Department protested the stealing of white farms, the murder of white citizens, or the impoverishment of a formerly-prosperous country? In mitigation, it must be said that black Africans merrily murder other black Africans. But now, one of the worst dictators on earth has been removed by a domestic military action, and the State Department feels the need to jump in.
This is an example of the need to distinguish candidate Trump, who advocated an America First policy that only involved itself in foreign affairs to pursue national security interests, and President Trump, who seems to be up to his waist (not his neck) in the swamp.
“one of the worst dictators on earth has been removed by a domestic military action” – I don’t think that it will improve things. It’s actually his regime as a whole fighting for survival against his plan to install his wife as the new dictator. In other words, it truly is *not* a coup, but continuity of rule by the “freedom fighters”.
To quote a (black) Zimbabwean: “Things were better under Smith.”
“To quote a (black) Zimbabwean: “Things were better under Smith.””
To quote the reply of a (White) Kenyan woman—when I asked her about how, after years of Chinese economic exploitation, whether much of sub-Saharan Africa might feel any nostalgia for the European colonial era—she retorted, “You’d damned well better believe it!”
Thank goodness that there are folks like you both who have spent enough time to purchase a bloody clue!
Please cast aside any (remote) sense of condescension on my part.
Mugabe is to Zimbabwe what Islam is to Muslims. (Sorta rhymes, eh?)
Saddest of all is how Islam attempts to exert Mugabe’s exact same sort of petty, cruel, and insanely useless tyranny at a global level. In light of Zimbabwe’s throes, what awaits this world’s Muslims?
Hint: Multiply Zimbabwe’s “soft coup” by several orders of
magnitudesmegatons.Of course Juncker would support that. The will of the people has to be his worst nightmare. And he knows he’s among those who deserve pitchforks and torches.
Actually, the EU grows rich from consolidation of countries into a massive economic and regulatory blob. The larger the government, the less accountable it is. Catalonia, if it became independent, would likely not want to give its sovereignty up to the Belgian seat warmers. On the other hand, after almost a century of violence and murder to achieve independence, the Irish did exactly that.
If it isn’t dumb athletes being used as tools on Sunday, it’s the dumb billionaire owners ignoring the brain damage the dumb athletes suffer called CTE. It’s, frankly, immoral for any “fan” to be entertained while men destroy what little grey matter they possess.
There’s a Christian duty to boycott the NFL.
Yeah.
I think you have a point. The time of the gladiators has come and gone. Boxing is another brain-damaging sport. The contract seems to be, you give up your health for a few years of fame and fortune. I’m not a sports fan, but I can watch a baseball game. I can’t watch football, knowing what you just described.

That’s $137,700,000 PER YEAR being siphoned out of the taxpayers’ pockets into collegiate sports. Worse yet is how the NFL (unlike baseball) is spared any expense of maintaining it’s own minor leagues by riding on the coattails of taxpayer-supported athletic programs.
Let me know when scientists, inventors and medical experts top this list so that I can stop vomiting.
Those pictures of empty NFL stadiums are glorious. I am 100% certain the absent people found far more productive things to do with their Sunday afternoon.
On the flip side, do not take the TS danger story lightly. The key find there is the bankroll provided by the the Gill Foundation, which does for “alternative lifestyles” what Soros’ foundation does for immivaders.
