America’s Most Honorable Men Stand With Trump
When Hillary Clinton’s media tried to make Trump’s crude sexual banter the centerpiece of the last debate, Trump pivoted to national security and once again said how proud he is to be backed by 200 generals and admirals.
These are among America’s finest, bravest, most admirable men. Seventeen medal of honor winners endorsed Trump. So did fifteen brigadier generals, thirty-four major generals, eighteen lieutenant generals, forty-one rear admirals, six vice-admirals, and three 4 star generals and admirals.
Such men do not put their names down for a candidate and a cause without serious thought.
This is what they signed their names to on the choice between Hillary and Trump:…

Bill is ‘Having a Hard Time, ‘ Chelsea is ‘Livid’ And Hillary is ‘P***ed’
How the Clinton family is being rocked by Wikileaks (and their donors and friends are furious at what candid aides said about them)
The trickle of Wikileaks revelations from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta’s email account is fraying the nerves of those in and surrounding Clinton world.
Politico looked into how Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton were faring as more gossip and dirty laundry spills out and the short answer, according to sources, is not well.
The former president is ‘having a hard time,’ between the leaks and Donald Trump dredging up his past scandals, the former first daughter is livid and the Democratic nominee is straight up ‘p***ed’ that she’s having to deal with these daily mini-scandals in the final month of her White House run.
Donors and friends are furious too at both the leaks and the Trump campaign’s tactics.
Longtime Clinton fundraiser Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild was reportedly furious when she read an unflattering email about her written by Neera Tanden, the president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, the think tank started by Podesta before he joined on at the campaign.
‘I have to [see] that crazy Lade De Rothschild person,’ Tanden had written in an email to Podesta, her old boss in April 2015.

Chairman Mao’s America — We Still Have a Choice, The Chinese Did Not
Under Mao, China underwent the crushing of its own heritage and history as the Chairman indoctrinated an entire generation with nothing more than a little red book, a comic book styled communist quotes manifesto. It piqued and aroused an entire generation of youth to pull down the very foundations of a once proud and free nation.
The sudden onslaught of Marxist ideology in China was forced on them by Mao. In America it has been fed to our young, a spoonful at a time over the last full generation. They have now grown up and are paralleling the behavior of the Chinese youth to the letter.
They are now willing and actively pursuing a national posture that dismisses our foundations. Both founding Biblical principles and constitutional underpinnings are being trashed or disconnected by degrees.

Clinton Campaign, DNC Coordinated With Organizations to Incite Violence at Trump Events
A new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action shows how Democratic-aligned organizations used a tactic called ‘bird-dogging’ to incite violence and chaos at Trump rallies for media consumption. A key Clinton operative is captured on camera saying, “It doesn’t matter what the friggin’ legal and ethics people say, we need to win this mother****er.”
In the video, Democratic activists Robert Creamer and Scott Foval reveal their strategy to create a sense of “anarchy” in and around Donald Trump events over the course of the campaign. Foval tells an undercover operative: “One of the things we do is we stage very authentic grassroots protests right in their faces at their own events. Like, we infiltrate.”
“So the term bird dogging: You put people in the line, at the front which means that they have to get there at six in the morning because they have to get in front at the rally, so that when Trump comes down the rope line, they’re the ones asking him the question in front of the reporter, because they’re pre-placed there,” explains Foval. “To funnel that kind of operation, you have to start back with people two weeks ahead of time and train them how to ask questions. You have to train them to bird dog.”

Fakery: Major Media Preparing to Steal Election-Night Outcome?
Note: this article is about the early projections media outlets make on election night — when they call the winner.
Here it is in a nutshell: major media consider the election a media event.
Therefore, they control it.
Therefore, when they project the election-outcome the night of the vote, even though that call is unofficial, they want compliance from the candidates. THEY WANT A FAST CONCESSION SPEECH from the loser. Well, a concession from Trump, because the networks and their allies in print newspapers are already painting a picture of a Hillary victory (for example, see this WaPo article). The picture is: Trump’s campaign is falling apart, Hillary is leading in battleground states, and she may even expand her reach into states Trump was previously thought to have wrapped up.
On Meet the Press Sunday, Mike Pence was asked point blank: if you lose on election night, will you and Donald concede? And Pence said yes.
The media-concocted story line: if Trump loses and he refuses to concede, because he believes the count was rigged, he’ll be inciting violence and endangering the country.
Of course, the networks calling the election victory is unofficial. It’s all happening in a bubble.
The networks are terrified that Trump will refuse to concede if they say he lost. Instead, he will say: “My team and I have definite knowledge of widespread vote fraud in many states. As I speak, we are filing suits. We not only want an accurate recount, we want criminal charges brought against the vote riggers. We know who they are. Some of the culprits are media networks. You can say I’m a sore loser but I’m not. I’m for fairness, and we don’t have that. We’re going all the way with our accusations and our facts. All along I’ve been saying the system is corrupt. Now we’re going to prove that…”
The media could then be accused of direct complicity in stealing the election.
So… how do the networks decide who wins an election? Buckle up. Here is a concise description from Wikipedia. Notice that the media are basically getting their vote-info from… themselves:

FBI Agents Say Comey ‘Stood in the Way’ of Clinton Email Investigation
“This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have been convened, but was not. That is appalling.”
FBI agents say the bureau is alarmed over Director James Comey’s decision to not suggest that the Justice Department prosecute Hillary Clinton over her mishandling of classified information.
According to an interview transcript given to The Daily Caller, provided by an intermediary who spoke to two federal agents with the bureau last Friday, agents are frustrated by Comey’s leadership.
“This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have been convened, but was not. That is appalling,” an FBI special agent who has worked public corruption and criminal cases said of the decision. “We talk about it in the office and don’t know how Comey can keep going.”
The agent was also surprised that the bureau did not bother to search Clinton’s house during the investigation.

FBI Files on Hillary’s Emails Reveal “Shadow Government” Was in Charge of Her Investigation
Document literally refers to group as “the shadow government”
A page from the FBI’s publicly released documents from the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server reveals that a group literally called “the shadow government” was overseeing the inquiry.
“There was a powerful group of very high ranking STATE officials that some referred to as “The 7th Floor Group” or “The Shadow Government.” This group met every Wednesday afternoon to discuss the FOIA process, Congressional records and everything CLINTON-related to FOIA/Congressional inquiries,” states page 56 of the document.
The document goes on to list some members of this “shadow government,” which includes John Kerry and Jonathan Finer, Chief of Staff and Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, and Patrick Kennedy, undersecretary of state for management.
[comment: This “shadow government” uses State Dept resources to implement bankster agendas, such as Libya chaos, Benghazi gun running op and creation of ISIS in Syria.]

How Artificial Intelligence is Redefining the Future of Work
In a world where the term “big data” is being thrown around like the next coming, many business leaders still struggle to understand how more information is going to help them make better decisions that drive their businesses forward.
But the real challenge goes well beyond merely accessing more data. The key is accessing data in the right way, at the right time, and in the right format to generate beneficial insights.
This process is no small feat. It requires both technology and human analysis in order to identify these critical insights for business leaders. This process has historically meant a team of highly specialized data analysts spending hours upon hours sifting through terabytes (or more!) of information to make it digestible and useful.
But that’s all about to change in a big way.

How Hillary’s Campaign Chief Hid Money From Russia
New revelations in WikiLeaks documents
NEW YORK — A document newly released by WikiLeaks shows how Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta, was able to shield from government regulators and the American public the shares of stocks he received as a member of the board of a company that received millions from a Putin-connected Russian government fund at the time of the U.S. “reset” with Moscow.

James O’Keefe Gets Another Scalp: Subject of Undercover Video Ousted
This rot goes higher and deeper
Fox News has released a quote from Americans United For Change [head] Brad Woodhouse stating. “Americans United For Change has always operated according to the highest ethical and legal standards. Scott Foval is no longer associated with Americans United for Change.”
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, James O’Keefe said he believes this is not the end. “They want to make Scott Foval the fall guy. But this rot goes higher and deeper. This was a conspiracy to create a narrative that Trump supporters were dangerous and out of control. This scheme was created and approved at the highest levels of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee,” O’Keefe said.

“I’ve never seen this in my career, where an effort is made to change a document after it is evidence in a criminal prosecution”
Judge Andrew Napolitano said this morning that newly-released FBI documents show evidence of a bribe being offered by a senior State Department official to FBI agents.
Patrick F. Kennedy, the undersecretary of state for management, is reported to have pressured FBI agents to change the classification on sensitive documents found on Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
The new revelations were contained in just-released FBI interview summaries from the Clinton email investigation.
In what was viewed by the FBI as a “quid pro quo,” desirable overseas assignments for the agents were discussed.

Undercover Video: Democrats Caused Violence at Trump Rallies
The frequent outbursts of violence at Republican candidate Donald Trump’s campaign rallies have been orchestrated and paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, a stunning new undercover video suggests.
Why isn’t the mainstream media apart from Fox News covering this new scandal? Perhaps because reporters overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton in the election. In terms of dollars donated to the Clinton and Trump campaigns, journalists favor Clinton by a factor of 27 to 1. They’ve given more than $382,000 to Clinton’s campaign compared to just $14,000 to Trump’s campaign, according to the Center for Public Integrity.
This newly revealed Reichstag fire of a plot by Democrats at the highest levels is “a direct assault on democracy and the rule of law,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) told Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel last night. “This is a hundred times bigger than Watergate.”
Gingrich may be on to something. Thanks to the video provided by Project Veritas Action, Americans will now be able to see that the Left has been running a clandestine operation against Trump for some time now.
The idea was to concoct evidence that Trump supporters were crazy, knuckle-dragging thugs in order to discredit the billionaire businessman’s campaign for president. Many left-wingers already call Trump a fascist or a Nazi so creating the appearance at Trump rallies that the candidate’s supporters are violent put some meat on the bone, so to speak. It’s the Big Lie American-style, a huge false-flag operation generated by a real-life vast left-wing conspiracy.

Why They Keep Trade Deals Secret
Trade treaties do not represent genuine free trade
What is the story behind this secret agreement that Obama and Merkel have been pushing for so strongly? Why is there no transparency? Why has information that is of crucial public interest been withheld throughout the process? Excluding the Public
Public statements and information on official websites about the agreement are rather vague and do not mention, or rather resist going into, the specifics of the deal. This has created an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust.
The European Commission has maintained the covert nature of the negotiations by introducing a new regulation, allowing only politicians to view the text in a secure ‘reading room’ in Brussels. According to EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström, this was allegedly necessary because of “important vulnerabilities in the last rounds of negotiations.”
In some cases, members of EU parliaments are allowed to read the documents in their home countries — but the rule that they must do so in a sealed room while security is monitoring their every move applies there as well.
Prior to using one of these secret reading rooms, a confidentiality agreement must be signed, mobile devices have to be handed in and are locked away, it has room for a maximum of 8 people, the computers are not networked (neither LAN nor internet connection). A handful of reference works are available in printed form.
Security has been tightened: the EU leadership didn’t like it when representatives of member states with access to the details started leaking information on the deal and national parliaments came into possession of relevant documents. As the EU Commission put it, this resulted in “hundreds of people actually having uncontrolled access.”
The only logical explanation that suggests itself to account for the extraordinary furtiveness of these talks, is that the deal includes terms that will have critical implications for the average citizen that are likely to be resisted.

Birthplace of Rosetta Probe’s Comet Pinned Down
The comet that Europe’s Rosetta spacecraft orbited for more than two years was probably born in the realm of icy bodies beyond Neptune, a new study suggests.
New analyses of the orbit of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — on which Rosetta intentionally crash-landed on Sept. 30, ending the probe’s historic mission — trace the object’s origins back to the Kuiper Belt, whose most famous denizen is Pluto.
“These results come from computations of the comet’s orbit from the present to the past, which is computationally difficult due to the chaosity of the orbit caused by close encounters with Jupiter,” Mattia Galiazzo, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Western University in Ontario, Canada, said in a statement.

Taxpayers Federation Launches Campaign to “Stop High Energy Bills”
TORONTO, ON: Today the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) launched a billboard, website and media campaign that is aimed at telling Ontario politicians to “leave our energy bills alone.” The new campaign’s goal is to engage the public to take action on the cost of political interference in the electricity sector, and the costs of the Ontario government’s new cap-and-trade carbon tax that will take effect January 1, 2017.
At a Monday morning press conference, CTF Ontario Director Christine Van Geyn unveiled the first of a series of billboards that will appear across Ontario. The first billboard is located in downtown Toronto at the corner of Front and Simcoe, and directs the public to CTF’s campaign website http://www.StopHighEnergyBills.ca.
“Over a decade of political meddling in the electricity sector in Ontario has left families in this province paying some of the highest electricity bills in North America. Now the government is going to do to home heating and gasoline bills what they did to our electricity bills with their newest tax,” said Van Geyn. “What’s worse is that both of the opposition parties seem to be fine with hiking people’s energy bills with carbon tax proposals of their own.”
Estimates say that the planned tax could cost between $156 and $387 per year to start, based on the proposed $18 per tonne tax on carbon emissions. The federal government has also stated that they want this eventually increased to $50 per tonne, an increase of 178 per cent.
“The government’s newest plan to generate more money is tax on your commute to work and tax on keeping your family warm in the winter. When Ontario families are already struggling to pay their household bills because of this government’s bungling of the electricity sector, the very last thing they need or can afford is another tax that will make those household bills rise even more. These aren’t luxuries-they’re the necessities of life,” concluded Van Geyn.
[Comment: The CTF is 100% correct.]

A British UFO expert was sacrified by Polish Satanists as he investigated conspiracy theories, his mum and girlfriend claim.
They say the murky cult had pumped Max Spiers full of drugs before he died in Warsaw in July.
The conspiracy theorist, 39, from Canterbury, in Kent, was found dead on a friend’s sofa.
He texted his mother Vanessa Bates, 63, just days before he died saying, ‘Your boy’s in trouble. If anything happens to me, investigate.’
Mrs Bates, an English teacher, told MailOnline she believes her son was sacrificed by the shadowy cult — and may have been ‘slowly poisoned’.
She said: ‘He was making a name for himself in the world of conspiracy theorists and had been invited to speak at a conference in Poland in July.
‘He was staying with a woman who he had not known for long and she told me how she found him dead on the sofa.
‘But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead.’
Mr Spiers was staying with friend Monika Duval and was found dead at her property.
Monika was said to be at a book fair in Frankfurt, Germany, last night when MailOnline visited the property.
He reportedly vomited a black liquid before he died.
His girlfriend Sarah Adams, 31, claims he was being held against his will. She said: ‘He was terrified, he wanted to leave. He rang secretly as they wouldn’t let talk. He said they were trying to get away from them.’
[…]
Mr Spiers had made a career out of investigating UFO sightings and alleged cover-ups in the government.
More recently, he was said to be probing into the lives of well-known figures in politics, business and entertainment.

“A message to English journalists and intellectuals generally. ‘Do remember that dishonesty and cowardice always have to be paid for. Don’t imagine that for years on end you can make yourself the boot-licking propagandist of any regime and then suddenly return to mental decency. Once a whore, always a whore.’“ — George Orwell
It is not generally recognised to what lengths journalists will go in their propaganda onslaught backing multiculturalism. A vital tactic is to omit and ignore inconvenient facts and events. Their propaganda portrays settlers and their offspring as ‘just plain folks’ who are the same as indigenous folk except for a few harmless colourful customs that enrich our lives.
Below is the BBC report of the murder of a child in Scotland in December 2014. The report was basically the same, with only slight, insignificant variations, in all our national newspapers, both broadsheet and tabloid.
“Police have maintained a high-profile presence in a Clackmannanshire town after the death of a five-year-old boy. A woman has been detained in connection with the death.
“Police were called to an address on Carnaughton Place in Alva at 08:50 on Friday over concerns for the child’s welfare. He was found with a ‘significant’ injury to his body and was pronounced dead by the Scottish Ambulance Service at the scene. It is understood that the woman, 32, detained in connection with the incident is the child’s mother.”
And here is the report of the same incident on the same day in the International Business Times, an online news publication based in Manhattan:
“A five-year-old boy was found with his heart ripped out in a suspected ‘ritual’ killing.
“Police Scotland launched a murder investigation in Alva, Clackmannanshire, after finding the child following calls about his welfare. A woman, who is believed to be the boy’s mother, was held by police on Friday night. It is understood she is from Botswana, and there is another child, the boy’s sister, who is safe and well.
“An emergency crew member said the boy suffered a ‘sickening and violent death’. Police described the victim as having a ‘significant injury’ to his body.”

ISIS Moves to Syria Where Erdogan Still Aims for Aleppo
The Iraqi army started a large operation to liberate Mosul from Islamic State jihadists. But the forces, in total some 40,000, are still several dozen kilometers away from the city limits. They will have to capture several towns and villages and pass many IED obstacles before coming near to the center and house to house fighting. It might take many month to eliminated the last stay-behind ISIS cells in Mosul.
About one million civilians live in Mosul. Many, many more than in east-Aleppo. Many of them were sympathetic with the new overlords when ISIS stormed in two years ago. French, American, Kurdish, Iraqi and Turkish artillery are pounding them now. Airstrikes attack even the smallest fighting position. When the city will be conquered it will likely be destroyed. The imminent fight over Mosul might be the reason why John Kerry dialed down his hypocritical howling over east-Aleppo in Syria which is under attack from Syrian and Russian forces.
The attack on Mosul proceeds on three axes. From the north Kurdish Peshmerga under U.S. special force advisors lead the fighting. Iraqi forces attack from the east and south. The way to the west, towards Syria, is open. The intend of the U.S. is to let ISIS fighters, several thousand of them, flee to Deir Ezzor and Raqqa in Syria. They are needed there to further destroy the Syrian state.
We pointed out here that this move will create the “Salafist principality” the U.S. and its allies have striven to install in east-Syria since 2012. The “mistake” of the U.S. bombing of Syrian army positions in Deir Ezzor was in support of that plan. Other commentators finally catch up with that conclusion.

The boy, whose name is unknown, was among 175 strangers, all trusting their lives to a battered raft and the promises of ruthless men vowing to deliver them from danger.
Hours later, the boy and his fellow passengers were plucked from rough seas by the Responder — one of many within the waters between Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Europe — tasked with saving those in distress on the high seas as they search for safety in Europe and beyond.

How Old Are They Really? Concern as ‘Hulking’ All-Male Refugee Children Arrive From Calais
QUESTIONS have been raised over the real ages of refugee children arriving in Britain from Calais after it emerged that immigration officials have no way of verifying how old they are.
Tory MPs have expressed concern that the UK’s hospitality may be being abused after pictures of the first group of “hulking”, all-male teenagers to cross the Channel were published yesterday.
Fourteen youngsters, who officials insist are between the ages of 14 and 17, arrived in the UK from the infamous Jungle camp as part of a fast-track scheme to get children out before it is demolished.
But Conservative politicians said that photographs of the refugees suggested many of the group were older than 17, with one blasting: “These don’t look like children to me.”
UKIP leader Nigel Farage added that the images demonstrated the urgent “need to verify who is coming into our country”.

Iraqi Refugee Pleads Guilty to Trying to Help Islamic State
An Iraqi refugee who authorities say wanted to set off bombs at two Houston malls has pleaded guilty to trying to help the Islamic State group.
Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan pleaded guilty Monday to attempting to provide material support or resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison at sentencing Jan. 17.
The 24-year-old came to Houston from Iraq in 2009. He was indicted in January.
A federal agent testified earlier this year that Hardan was learning to make electronic transmitters that could be used to detonate explosives.
Prosecutors alleged Al Hardan was coordinating with another Iraqi refugee in California. They said the two men talked about getting weapons training and eventually sneaking into Syria to fight alongside the Islamic State.

Dr. James Dobson Calls for Civil Disobedience
‘Make them put you in jail,’ faith leader says about court’s decision on crisis pregnancy centers
WASHINGTON — Dr. James Dobson, the extraordinarily meek Christian psychologist and perhaps the most well-known family counselor in America, called Tuesday for civil disobedience by operators of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers in response to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision upholding a California law that calls for them to promote abortion to woman they serve.
“If California attempts to enforce this law then do not comply,” he said. “Make them put you in jail.”
The state law is called the “Reproductive FACT Act, and was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown Oct. 9, 2015, and reviewed and upheld Friday for constitutionality by the Ninth Circuit, widely regarded as the most “progressive” federal court of appeal in the country.
The law went into effect Jan. 1, 2016, but has been largely unenforced while municipalities waited out a series of lawsuits challenging the law’s alleged infringement on free speech rights guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment. This is the fifth time a challenge has been turned away by the courts starting last December.

Fear Sweeps Churches Over Bathroom Policy
A move by the state of Iowa to classify churches as “public accommodations” and require them to allow men who say they are women to use women’s restrooms is causing an “objectively reasonable” fear that they will be prosecuted, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Stephanie Rose refused to dismiss a case brought by the Fort Des Moines Church of Christ against the state’s Civil Rights Commission, finding that the church already was self-censoring its statements because of a fear of prosecution.
“The court concludes the chilling of plaintiff’s speech constitutes an injury in fact for the purpose of standing,” she wrote.

Norway to Allow Foreign Women to Abort Healthy Twin
Norway’s health authorities have ruled that foreign women pregnant with twins should be allowed to abort one fetus in Norwegian hospitals, even if it is perfectly healthy.
The ruling, made by Norway’s Ministry of Health, is expected to open the way for women from neighbouring Sweden and Denmark, who where the procedure of “selective reduction” is not permitted in the same way.
“All women, regardless of whether they are Norwegian or foreign women residing in Norway have the same right to abortion and fetal reduction,” Torunn Janbu from Norway’s Directorate of Health told NRK.
The hospitals are not required to ask for a fixed address, opening up the way for a new form of abortion tourism.
According to NRK, several women from other Nordic countries had already contacted Norwegian hospitals about having the procedure…

Don’t this make you sad? Don’t this make you mad? Don’t this make you want to puke?
Bad grammar but. . . there it is. It makes me all of the above. I could have gone further but decided that restraint is the better part of valor.
Sometimes I wonder why I read the news but I do it in a self-defensive attitude. Don’t know when to run for the hills if I don’t keep up.
Having said all that, I still congratulate GoV for printing all the news that the others don’t or won’t. I thank you.
