Gates of Vienna News Feed 6/17/2016

The Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people at a gay bar in Orlando before being killed by police, transferred the deed to his house to his sister and brother-in-law just two months before his deadly attack. He charged his relatives a nominal $10 for the house, and his wife acted as a witness. His actions seem to indicate that he planned his jihad attack well in advance.

In other news, former Polish President Lech Walesa said the EU is falling apart because it has no shared values.

Bitcoin’s Largest Competitor Hacked: Over $59 Million “Ethers” Stolen in Ongoing Attack

One month ago, Fred Ehrsam, co-founder of Coinbase in a sweeping, 2,500-word blog post, took aim at what he called a “stagnant” bitcoin community that he characterized as being outperformed by innovators working on the Ethereum network. In the post, Ehrsam sought to position Ethereum as a possible competitor to bitcoin, indicating his belief that the competing protocol could “blow past bitcoin entirely” (perhaps he was merely peeved at the lack of commission fees Coinbase was generating). In his post, Eshram said: “There is nothing that bitcoin can do which Ethereum can’t. While Ethereum is less battle tested, it is moving faster, has better leadership and has more developer mindshare. First mover advantage is challenging to overcome, but at current pace, it’s conceivable.”

Also, as Coindesk reported recently, those close to the project were beginning to see The DAO as Ethereum’s “flagship application”, one that they believe could hold the key to ensuring a lasting, favorable impression for Ethereum’s technology, or scar its reputation, with some comparing the DAO as the possible Ether equivalent of bitcoin’s once largest and now bankrupt exchange, Mt Gox.

As of this morning, however, it is decidedly the latter, because it turns out there was something else that bitcoin’s biggest emerging competitor could do: get hacked.

As Cryptcoinnews reports, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has asked digital currency exchanges to “pause” ether and activity on the decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, activity following a hack of the DAO smart contract address. As a reminder Ethereum is the blockchain platform that enabled the DAO’s creation.

The DAO is currently being drained of ethers in a still-ongoing breach (as of this morning) to the unknown attacker’s ETH address. The ongoing hack and possible theft, deemed as an “attack” on the DAO by Vitalik Buterin, has the co-founder of Ethereum issue a plea seeking digital currency exchanges to pause ether (ETH) and DAO transactions.

A Man Tried to Rob a Concealed Carrier. Keyword Here is Try

A robber looking to hit an easy mark picked the wrong guy stepping out of a Mexican restaurant in Beaumont, Texas. According to Beaumont Police, the target happened to be legally licensed to carry a concealed handgun and used it to open fire on the man attempting to rob him. The suspect was taken to the hospital and listed in critical trauma with a bullet wound to his abdomen. Beaumont Police say the concealed carrier did nothing wrong.

Caroline Glick: Obama and the Moderate Muslims

As far as the White House is concerned, Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic’s top reporter, is President Barack Obama’s unofficial mouthpiece.

This was one of the many things we learned from The New York Times in David Samuels’s profile of Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes.

In the course of explaining how Rhodes was able to sell Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, despite the fact that it cleared Iran’s path to a nuclear arsenal while giving the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism more than a hundred billion dollars, Samuels reported that “handpicked Beltway insiders like Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic… helped retail the administration’s narrative.”

Given his White House-assigned role, Goldberg’s explanation of Obama’s refusal to discuss radical Islam is worthwhile reading. It reflects what Obama wants the public to believe about his position.

On Wednesday Goldberg wrote that in Obama’s view, discussing radical Islam is counterproductive because it harms the moderates who need to stand up to the radicals…

DHS Insider: Obama Blocking Terrorist Probes

W.H. intentionally ignoring surveillance

Retired DHS officer and whistleblower Philip Haney explained why radical Islamic terrorists are falling through the cracks despite unprecedented government data-gathering.

Haney described how the Obama administration blatantly ignores the DHS intelligence-gathering efforts of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Taliban.

“We have archives of derogatory information on these organizations going back years and years,” Haney said on the Alex Jones Show Wednesday. “We’ve done our job. But the [Obama] administration deliberately and intentionally has refused to acknowledge the existence of this information.”

“Follow the trail, find the nest — that’s counterterrorism in a nutshell.”

“We’re being told by the administration ‘there is no nest. Don’t even look for it because it doesn’t exist,’“ he added. “That’s about as absurd as it would be to go around stomping on ants one at a time while pretending there is no nest.”

Gun Store Owner: We Called FBI & Warned Them About Orlando Shooter

The idea the FBI had no warnings immediately prior to the Orlando shooting just went out the window.

– From CBS News:

JENSEN BEACH, Fla. — The co-owner of a Florida gun store says his employees contacted law enforcement before the Orlando shooting after gunman Omar Mateen attempted to purchase body armor and ammunition.

Robbie Abell, co-owner of Lotus Gunworks, said Thursday his workers had a gut feeling about Mateen when he came to the store four or five weeks ago.

Mateen asked for level 3 body armor, according to Abell, but was told the store didn’t carry it. He then made a phone call and spoke in Arabic before asking for bulk ammunition, but employees did not sell it to him.

Abell told reporters “we contacted FBI direct” after Mateen left the store but he did not elaborate on how investigators responded. He believed his employees did what they should have done, Abell said.

Note, this means the FBI was warned within a reasonable time frame — as opposed to two years ago as reports have been stating — that Mateen was an immediate threat, it also means he was working with at least one other person and was not simply a “lone nut.”

Hannity on DHS Whistleblower Revelations: ‘This is Unconscionable’

In his eye-opening new book “See Something, Say Nothing,” Haney writes that Syed Farook, one of the shooters in the San Bernardino massacre last December, fit the profile of the Tablighi Jamaat members Haney interviewed at the Atlanta airport. He told Hannity that if his Tablighi Jamaat information hadn’t been deleted, the DHS may have been able to prevent the San Bernardino attack from happening.

“I believe I have a plausible premise that we could have stopped it by two major ways — either Syed Farook would have been put on the no-fly list and not allowed to travel, or his pending fiancé [fellow San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik] would have been denied a visa because of his affiliation with an organization with plausible ties to terrorism,” Haney explained to Hannity.

What’s more, he said last weekend’s Orlando nightclub shooting could have been prevented as well if only law enforcement officers had realized the connections between the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, where Omar Mateen attended, and the San Bernardino mosque where Farook attended.

“There’s an entire network of those kinds of mosques across the United States, and I found out a couple days ago that the mosque in Fort Pierce is also related to the same network,” Haney revealed.

Sean Hannity could only express horror at what the Obama administration did to hamstring DHS officers like Haney from protecting the country.

Muslims With Terrorist Ties Scrubbed From DHS (As Per Obama’s Orders)

Sean Hannity interviewed Philip Haney on Tuesday, June 15th. Haney is the author of “See Something, Say Nothing.” Mr. Haney is a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security. Employed with DHS for 15 years, and what he told Hannity should send shivers down your spine and create a backlash of immense proportions. He said that the DHS was ordered by Obama to scrub records of Muslims with terrorist ties. These included individuals, organizations, and networks, both across the United States and affiliations within foreign countries.

(Odd that Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly from Fox News didn’t cover this huge story as well. Where’s their love for the truth. Their politically correct attitude of withholding this story from the public, keeps them safe from any backlashes by the Muslim leaders.)

The Obama order came in 2009, one year after the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror trial in American history that irrefutably proved that these Muslim Brotherhood front groups were in direct financial support of Hamas. CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator, along with the Islamic Society of North America and the North America Islamic Trust. This was the first purge of over 800 records. The second purge came in 2012, and Mr. Haney stated that the information there could likely have stopped the San Bernardino and Orlando attacks. See Sean Hannity interview Philip Haney below. It’s shocking.

New Report: FBI Can Access Hundreds of Millions of Face Recognition Photos

Totaling 411.9 million images, this is an unprecedented number of photographs

Today the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) finally published its exhaustive report on the FBI’s face recognition capabilities. The takeaway: FBI has access to hundreds of millions more photos than we ever thought. And the Bureau has been hiding this fact from the public-in flagrant violation of federal law and agency policy-for years.

According to the GAO Report, FBI’s Facial Analysis, Comparison, and Evaluation (FACE) Services unit not only has access to FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) face recognition database of nearly 30 million civil and criminal mug shot photos, it also has access to the State Department’s Visa and Passport databases, the Defense Department’s biometric database, and the drivers license databases of at least 16 states. Totaling 411.9 million images, this is an unprecedented number of photographs, most of which are of Americans and foreigners who have committed no crimes.

Omar Mateen Searched for Facebook Posts About Orlando Shooting While He Was Carrying it Out

The gunman who opened fire in the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando used Facebook to search for news of the atrocity while he was carrying it out, it was disclosed yesterday.

In an open letter, Senator Ron Johnson, chairman of the committee on homeland security and governmental affairs, asked Facebook to release the full details of Omar Mateen’s postings on the site before and during the Orlando attack, during which 49 were shot dead.

Mateen apparently searched for “Pulse Orlando” and “Shooting”, while the attack was taking place, according to the letter.

Omar Mateen Worked Security During BP Oil Spill

(ORLANDOSENTINEL) — A 2012 documentary has surfaced showing Orlando gunman Omar Mateen working security during the 2010 BP oil spill disaster, six years before the Pulse nightclub shooting.

CBS News confirmed with security company G4S that Mateen is in fact the security guard featured in a scene from the film “The Big Fix.” In the clip, which is about a minute, Mateen seems skeptical of the BP cleanup efforts.

“No one gives a s*** here. Everybody’s just, get out to get paid. They’re like hoping for more oil to come out and more people to complain so they’ ll have jobs,” Mateen tells a reporter. “They want more disaster to happen.”

Six years later, Mateen, 29, orchestrated the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, leaving 49 innocent people dead and 53 wounded at a gay nightclub.

Reddit Will Adjust Algorithm to Censor Trump Supporters Following Orlando Shootings

Significant implications for political discourse on the web and beyond.

Reddit has announced a change to its algorithm on /r/all, the page that is meant to rank the most popular posts trending across the site’s user-run communities. According to Reddit, the algorithm will be changed to promote more “diversity” on the subreddit.

The change is an explicit response to the Islamic terrorist attacks in Orlando, Florida. In their aftermath, /r/all was dominated by posts from /r/The_Donald, the primary community for Trump supporters on the site.

/r/all collects and ranks posts on Reddit according to how many “upvotes” they receive from users. A post typically requires several thousand upvotes to reach the front page of the site.

In the aftermath of the Orlando shootings, mass censorship on /r/News, Reddit’s main forum for discussing breaking news, led to a massive user exodus to /r/The_Donald, a community known for its commitment to free speech. According to The Daily Beast, more than 11,712 subscribed to the Trump-supporting subreddit on Sunday alone, making it the most successful day in the community’s relatively short history.

Shariah, Other Foreign Laws Don’t Apply in Texas

Ken Paxton’s opinion tied to rumors that Islamic leaders were “bypassing American courts”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton advised Wednesday that Texas courts are not required to enforce rulings or laws from foreign countries.

While Paxton didn’t explicitly say it, his opinion was tied to a Shariah courts controversy that sprang up in 2015, when Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne furthered rumors that Islamic leaders were “bypassing American courts” by settling disputes according to an Islamic code called Shariah.

Van Duyne supported a proposed law that would have banned judges from applying foreign laws in rulings. That bill, and several like it, failed to pass in the Legislature.

Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Canton, asked Paxton in late 2015 whether Texas courts could refuse to apply foreign laws or foreign rulings. Flynn asked about several scenarios, including arranged marriages and female genital mutilation.

U.S. City Where Cops Shot Walmart Hostage-Taker Flooded With Refugees

A man who took two co-workers hostage at an Amarillo, Texas, Walmart Tuesday was a Muslim refugee from Somalia, and that fact came as no surprise to those who track the federal government’s robust refugee resettlement program.

Amarillo is bursting at the seams with foreign refugees, from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and its mayor has pleaded repeatedly with the government to stop sending refugees to his city.

But they keep coming.

The schools are stretched, and the local police department is having a hard time getting a handle on the rising crime.

On Tuesday, it was just another example. Mohammad Moghaddan, a Somali refugee, was shot and killed by sheriff’s deputies after he had taken two Walmart employees hostage.

Moghaddan, 54, was a current employee of the store, and his actions were quickly declared “a case of work place violence

UN Human Rights Chief’s Response to Jihadist Massacre: More “Robust Gun Regulation”

In response to the ISIS-inspired massacre at an Orlando nightclub on June 12th, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein focused on gun control. He said that such violent attacks are “the direct result of insufficient gun control.” He called on the U.S. to adopt “robust gun regulation” in order to counter the impact of gun violence on human rights.

“Irresponsible pro-gun propaganda suggests that firearms make society safer, when all evidence points to the contrary,” High Commissioner Zeid added. “The ready availability of guns leaves little space between murderous impulses and actions that result in death. The journey between hate-filled beliefs and violent hate crimes is accelerated. Society-in particular its most vulnerable communities and minorities who are already facing widespread prejudice-pay a high price for the failure to stand up to the lobbyists and take the necessary measures to protect people from gun violence.” Zeid’s comments are offensive on at least two levels.

First of all, the issue of how the U.S. handles the domestic issue of gun regulation within its borders, in a manner consistent with its Constitution’s Second Amendment, is none of Zeid’s business.

Article 1 of the UN Charter states: “Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state.” Zeid violated this provision when he put his two cents into a matter that is “essentially within the domestic jurisdiction” of the federal and state governments of the United States.

We Need More Islamophobia, Not Less

When your family members are killed by Islamic terrorists, will Obama’s hug be good enough for you?

The media say President Obama is good at sharing condolences with victims of terrorism. It would be better for him to apologize to the victims and their families. He should start by saying, “I’m sorry that my FBI failed to stop this radical Islamic killer. I bear responsibility for this failure of intelligence.”

Orlando is where we really need an Obama apology tour to begin. In the past, he has apologized to foreigners for American foreign policy. Now he needs to apologize to Americans for allowing a foreign ideology to flourish in the United States, one which he has refused to name and condemn.

On Tuesday, when he rejected a ban on Muslim immigration, Obama said, “The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer-they were all U.S. citizens.” What was his point? That the Muslim refugees are not a threat but their children are? Is that supposed to be reassuring? Does it make sense to import more Muslims and let them raise children as Americans who then assume the foreign identity of the jihadists who want to kill us? Is that somehow acceptable? Doesn’t that increase the odds of having more killers on American soil?

Clearly, Obama is gambling with American lives, and Americans are losing their lives as a result. How many more will die, only to be remembered by Obama as he hugs the relatives of the victims?

20% of Muslim Turks Living in Germany Say Violence is Justified

Islam stands above German law for half Turkish Germans — survey.

Almost half the ethnic Turks living in Germany consider following Islamic teaching more important than abiding by the law, a new survey claims. They also view Islam as the “only true religion” with about one in five justifying violence if it is provoked by the West.

The study by the University of Münster titled “Integration and Religion from the viewpoint of the Turkish Germans in Germany” outline some deep divisions within the German society as 47 percent of ethnic Turks living in the country said that following religious dogmas was “more important” to them than obeying “the laws of the land in which I live,” particularly if the two were incompatible. Moreover, 32 percent from those questioned said they yearn to live in the society of the times of the Prophet Mohammed.

Daily Star Newspaper Links Gunman to Brexit

At the point of publication last night, the Star had no further information as to the motive of the killer.

Britons have reacted with outrage this morning after the front page of the Daily Star newspaper — the sister paper of the Daily Express — conflated yesterday’s brutal murder of Member of Parliament Jo Cox with the Brexit campaign.

The Star, which is owned by billionaire UKIP donor Richard Desmond, splashed Mrs. Cox’s face, a Labour rosette, and the words: “MP Dead After Attack By Brexit Gunman”.

At the point of publication last night, the Star had no further information as to the motive of the killer, and doubts have now been cast on the claim that the killer shouted “Britain First”, though one eyewitness maintains he may have said “Britain First” or “put Britain first”. Britain First is the name of a nationalist political party in the UK.

Despite this, the Star chose to splash the Brexit claim on its front page, in an image reminiscent on the immediately politicising of Mrs. Cox’s death by ‘Remain’ campaignersand even European Commissioners.

Swiss Withdraw EU Application: Only ‘Lunatics’ Would Join Now

Switzerland has formally withdrawn her long-standing application to join the European Union (EU), as only “a few lunatics” now want to be involved with the bloc. The verdict comes just one week before Britons go to the polls to decide on whether to retain their membership of the political union.

Twenty-seven members of the Council of States, Switzerland’s upper house, voted in favour of cancelling the application, against 13 who opposed the motion. Two abstained, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung has reported. …

Nonetheless, Thomas Minder, an independent representative said he was keen to “close the topic fast and painlessly,” adding that only “a few lunatics” still wished to join the EU.

His colleague Hannes Germann of the Swiss People’s Party compared the symbolic nature of the vote to Iceland’s decision to drop its own application in 2015. “Iceland had the courage to withdrew their application for membership and no volcano erupted,” he joked.

The documentary, “The UNRWA Road to Terror: Palestinian Classroom Incitement,” shows children as young as 7 in schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) expressing support for terrorism. One clip shows a 13-year-old Palestinian student chanting “With Allah’s help I will fight for ISIS, the Islamic State.”

Erik Prince: Obama and Clinton Are Complicit in Creating ISIS

The origins of Daesh, known commonly as the Islamic State or ISIS, tie back directly to Obama and Clinton policy delusions and half measures of the Iraq and Syria conflicts.

With the recent release of an August 2012 classified intelligence memo to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton detailing the presence of the organization that became ISIS among the Syrian oppositional forces supported by the West, it’s important to remember the history of exactly how the Islamic State arose from the ashes of a failed Obama/Clinton foreign policy.

The Syrian “Arab Spring” agitations that began in March 2011, where majority Sunnis rebelled against an Assad run Alawite Shia Ba’th Party, quickly dissolved into a multi sided proxy war. Clinton State Department policy grew into helping these Sunni rebels under the banner of the “Free Syrian Army (FSA)” with weapons, money and diplomatic support.

However, the reality is that the FSA existed only in the minds of the State Department leadership. The FSA exerted zero control over the dozens of rival militias fighting each other and the Assad regime in Damascus. The Syrian Rebel groups were like dozens of hungry baby vultures in a nest all competing for resources, and the worst and meanest destroyed their counterparts using the aid given them by their misguided American benefactors. …

Even worse, after obtaining intelligence that this slippage was occurring, we continued to pour guns, ammunition, and other support to the very groups who would take hostage entire towns, slit the throats of innocent journalists, and persecute Christians and other minorities caught in the web of their reach.

Ignoring this ugly reality — that they neglected the expertise and experience to vet these people properly and withheld the basics of professional soldiering — makes Obama/Clinton complicit, even responsible, for empowering ISIS and helping it to become what it is today.

New Chemical Weapons Attack in Ghouta, Syria — “Rebels” Gas Syrian Soldiers: Report

Three years after the infamous Ghouta chemical weapons attack launched by Western-backed terrorists but blamed on the Syrian government by Western mainstream media outlets, Ghouta, once again, is the scene of another possible chemical weapons attack.

According to a Syrian military source cited by Al-Masdar, “rebels” in Damascus used crudely assembled chemical bombs to attack Syrian soldiers with nerve gas in Ghouta.

“Several soldiers suffered breathing difficulties after the attack and were immediately taken to a military hospital. Thankfully, all of them are now in stable conditions,” the source stated.

Video evidence has been produced which reportedly shows Syrian soldiers suffering the effects of the gas and undergoing treatment.

‘Weaponizing’ Regime? Lawmakers Raise Red Flags on Boeing-Iran Jet Deal

Top House Republicans are raising red flags about Boeing’s potential sale of roughly 100 commercial jets to Iran, warning it could end up benefiting Iran’s military, as well as terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

While the talks have not drawn objections from the Obama administration, Reps. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., and Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, fired off a letter Thursday raising concerns about Tehran’s history of using commercial planes to support “hostile actors.”

“We strongly oppose the potential sale of military-fungible products to terrorism’s central supplier. American companies should not be complicit in weaponizing the Iranian Regime,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter to Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg.

Russia ‘Mobilizing for War’ Warns Canadian Intelligence

Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau announced a possible commitment of troops to Europe

The Canadian government is considering a new commitment of hundreds of troops in Eastern Europe as part of an effort to deter Russian aggression in the region, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Tuesday.

This follows a report by the Canadian Security Intelligence Services — the Canadian government intelligence agency — based on research by outsiders rather than its own assessment, warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s hard-line policies were becoming “more deeply entrenched,” as the CBC put it, and that “Moscow is retooling its military for a fight” and possibly “mobilizing for war.”

Czech FM on Muslim Immigration: Integration Has Failed

The Czech foreign minister has slammed mass Muslim migration to Europe. Lubomir Zaorálek defended Eastern Europe’s hardline approach to the migrant crisis, pointed to Paris and declared: “Don’t tell us that integration has succeeded”.

In a wide ranging interview, Mr. Zaorálek said the Czechs feared Muslim migrants would create Islamised ghettos. The pro-Europe minister also slammed the “politicised” European Commission for “pouring oil on the fire” which is destabilising Europe.

Inept EU Plans Encourage More Migrants to Flock to the Bloc, Furious Coastguard Reveals

Officials from Libya, which is rapidly becoming the chief focus of worried EU leaders, have claimed Operation Sophia, which is designed to prevent people smuggling, is simply fuelling the problem.

Migrants looking to come into Europe have been increasingly turning their efforts towards Libya since the EU struck a controversial deal with Turkey to prevent migrants travelling to Greece.

But international laws state that European naval vessels must stay at least 12 nautical miles from the shire of the North African country.

Opportunistic smugglers have been taking advantage of this situation by moving boats out to sea, setting their course for international waters.

Providing they do not stray from Libyan waters, they face no chance of getting caught.

[Comment: It is not ineptitude but an intentional and malevolent plan to destabilize western nations.]

Paul Ryan Threatens to Sue Donald Trump if He Tries to Enact Temporary Ban on Muslim Immigration

Paul Ryan considers Donald Trump’s proposal to indefinitely ban Muslim immigration into the US to be executive overreach.

And during an interview with The Huffington Post, uploaded on Friday, the House speaker said he’d “sue any president that exceeds his or her powers.”

Ryan, who said Trump supported the separation of powers when the speaker endorsed the presumptive Republican nominee, released part of his agenda regarding executive overreach this week.

However, Ryan is not totally sure if Trump enacting a ban on Muslims entering the country would be outside of presidential authority.

Obama’s Gay Past Comes Out!

True sexual orientation of POTUS revealed

Alex asks Dr. Steve Pieczenik what he thinks about Huma Abedin and her background.

Pieczenik says that the office of president must be filled by someone with deep compromised backgrounds like Bill Clinton being the child of an unknown father and a prostitute mother.

Obama is a known gay man who slept with Rahm Emanuel, and Hillary is a lesbian which itself is a threat to national security.

  1. Regarding Clinton (Bill): I read a biography on him years ago & thought it was fishy that his mum was a nurse, if I remember right, just an average mum anyway, with average wages, then all of a sudden … young Bill is off to do years of university in jolly olde England, don’t you know. As if a nurse could afford that on her wages.

    Who paid for that, is what I’ve always wondered.

    And when did the invoice arrive?

    • He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship — so he paid nothing to attend Oxford. But he never completed the program. After being accused of raping a fellow student, he was permitted (encouraged?) to withdraw from the program and he went home without a degree.

  2. Seems one of the Rockefellers and/or Sen. Fulbright was Bill’s sugar daddy. Then, the Rockefeller Clan decided to groom Barack for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. So sordid.

    • No one knows from where came the funding for Obama’s Harvard Law School tuition. But he did complain bitterly of his school loans not too many years before the Chicago folk (including Valerie Jarrett’s family) began grooming him for Bigger Things.

      We see the Peter Principle in action.

      • The Peter Principle states that one will be promoted to a level one step above their capabilities. Since Obama was in over his depth as a senator I would suggest that he is an example of the Peter Principle Squared.

    “The schoolgirl was preyed on by as many as 100 men, the majority of them of Asian origin, during a two year period.”
