Gates of Vienna News Feed 10/29/2016

The emails from Hillary Clinton that drew the renewed attention of the FBI were reportedly among tens of thousands of State Department emails that were found by the Bureau on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Mr. Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, swore under oath that she had removed and returned all such messages from all devices when she left the State Department, but evidently she overlooked some.

In other news, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a knife attack in Hamburg two weeks ago, which killed one teenager and wounded a second one.

Venezuela Throws in the Towel on Hyperinflation: Will Print 200X Higher-Denominated Bills

While several years ago it was perhaps debatable in polite society that Venezuela’s socialist economy would collapse ultimately unleashing hyperinflation, any doubt was put to rest early this year when the IMF’s own inflationary forecast confirmed as much.

However, while the international community had long accepted the inevitable fate of Maduro’s socialist paradise, the local government sternly refused to admit reality and to avoid confirming what the local population already knew, it insisted on keeping the highest denomination bill in circulation at 100 bolivars, whose worth is approximately 8 cents on the black market, turning the most basic transactions into logistical nightmares and saddling banks with crippling money-handling costs. Economists and central bank employees say Mr. Maduro didn’t want to acknowledge the country’s inflation problem by printing bigger notes.

This has finally changed, and as the WSJ reports, Venezuela’s government, slammed by hyperinflation has finally thrown in the towel, and is planning to issue new bills in December with larger denominations-up to 200 times higher than the current biggest bill, according to people familiar with the plans. The move marks an implicit acknowledgment by the government that skyrocketing prices have slashed the value of the currency

The new coins and notes will go up to 20,000 bolivars, according to people close to the central bank, the finance ministry, the country’s banks and bill suppliers. This would make the biggest note worth $15 on the black market.

“Rigged to Deny Trump”: Are They Stealing These States to Block Electoral Path to 270?

Daily News Brief: The 2016 Election Is In The Process Of Being Stolen With Rigged Voting Machines

There are several states — in particular — that are being surprisingly maneuvered for her advantage… and if successful, will block Trump from even coming close the presidency.

Texas Could Turn “Blue” For the First Time In 20 Years

This is the big enchilada, so to speak. For the first time in many decades, Texas is in play for Hillary and the Democrats. Texas has been as solidly “red” as any state in the union, but 2016 could be different.

With 38 electoral votes, the Lone Star State is the biggest prize on the map next to California, whose 55 electoral votes have gone to the Democrats since before history began. Since at least 2008, the Dems have been massaging their electioneering strategy to capitalize on shifting demographics — with plenty of Hispanics in the next generation of voters. On paper, Hillary should be able to play well to Hispanics with all the controversy over Trump’s immigration stances and talk of a border wall. Rumors of illegal immigrants be encouraged to vote could be a crucial factor, with polls in Texas close to neck and neck… it could go either way.

Of course, there is every reason to think that Team Hillary is not taking any chances.

As Michael Snyder and many others have reported, electronic voting machines have been mysteriously flipping votes for Hillary in several counties in Texas… and that doesn’t bode well for a massive electoral prize that is within range for her campaign:

Early voting has already begun in many states, and a number of voters in Texas are reporting that the voting machines switched their votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. The odd thing is that none of the other choices were affected when these individuals attempted to vote for a straight Republican ticket. If Hillary Clinton is declared the winner of the state of Texas on election night, a full investigation of these voting machines should be conducted, because there is no way that Donald Trump should lose that state. I have said that it will be the greatest miracle in U.S. political history if Donald Trump wins this election, but without the state of Texas Donald Trump has exactly zero chance of winning.

At least one county is making an emergency switch to paper ballots after irregularities were found with the electronic machines during early voting.

Meanwhile, Infowars confronted the head of Texas’ elections about his decision to violate voter laws and abandon a manual count of a random sampling of 1-3% of votes (which should theoretically reflect the larger voting trend, unless something is fishy). Without that count, there is less accountability than ever:

A Call to Arms! A Cry for Help! Pass This On!

Hillary’s homemade server constituted what amounted to a private ‘eBay’ where our Secretary of State could sell and barter anything

[I]n my story, “Finally I Can See What ‘Emailgate’ is REALLY All About!” (LINK), I brought up the FACT that Hillary’s homemade server constituted what amounted to a private ‘eBay’ where our Secretary of State could sell and barter anything (from government secrets — to an appointment with anyone — to whatever) globally without the slightest suspicion, hindrance or intervention from a generally unsuspecting and naïve America. Not only that, but that her little Podunk computer setup served effectively as a communications system which could transcend and penetrate any border or security system on the planet. [Bottom line, it daily becomes more and more obvious that Hillary’s Chappaqua home server was the order room and storefront. And a money-laundering Clinton Foundation could have easily served as the checkout lane/cash register for moving the money involved with her transactions.]

I compared Hillary’s personal computer system to the drop point that the traitor, a top man for the FBI, Robert Hanssen, had used with the Russians for several years till the day he was busted. One morning while he was exchanging more information for money under a bridge in a small park in Virginia, his fellow FBI agents sprang out of the bushes and caught him red-handed. But Hillary’s cyber-’drop point’ was even a better cover since she was handling no physical material (as did Hanssen). Moreover, she had ‘plausible deniability’ at the first sign of trouble — using the ‘innocent mistake’ story we’ve been hearing for the past year and a half…

The links below, spotlighting the efforts of an exiled Julian Assange (founder of WikiLeaks) and the emerging expose’s of ‘Project Veritas Action’, are self-explanatory and need to be made available to as many Americans as they can get in front of. The killing corruption of the eight year breach of an Obama presidency as well as the presently tottering dark empire of the Clintons MUST BE EXPOSED BEFORE THE DOOR CLOSES ON THE LAST HOPE OF OUR RAPIDLY DISINTEGRATING, CONSTITUTIONAL AMERICA!!

Anti-Trump Conservatives — What on Earth Are They Thinking?

Some say that Trump is not a true conservative.

Well, it’s true that Trump is not a conventional conservative. His background is different, and he didn’t work his way up through the traditional routes of being a senator or governor or some such position.

Trump has jumped right into being a candidate by starting at the top — running for president.

As for Trump not being a true conservative, let me ask this question. How many conservative Anti-Trumpers voted for Romney, McCain and the Bush Family? Probably most of them.

I suggest you get past the rhetoric and study up on former Republican presidents George H.W Bush, George W. Bush, and candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney. Frankly, none of these individuals were really all that conservative, and they had many personal and political strikes against them that would disqualify them among the voters.

And yet, Republicans voted for these guys. Why is it suddenly taboo to vote for Trump?…

Whatever the state of Trump’s personal faith, Trump is more sympathetic to American Christians and supportive of religious freedom than is Hillary. Can’t the Anti-Trump conservatives recognize that?

If Hillary can just put a few justices on the Supreme Court, our freedoms are in dangers, including (but not limited to) freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the right to bear arms.

Bernstein: FBI Would Not Reopen Case Unless New Evidence Was “A Real Bombshell”

“We don’t know what this means yet except that it’s a real bombshell.”

Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein comments on the FBI’s shocking Friday afternoon announcement that they are reopening the investigation into Hilary Clinton’s email server because new evidence has come to light.

CARL BERNSTEIN: Well, there’s no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

We don’t know what this means yet except that it’s a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that’s where we are…

Congress: Attorney General Lynch ‘Pleads Fifth’ on Secret Iran ‘Ransom’ Payments

Attorney General Loretta Lynch is declining to comply with an investigation by leading members of Congress about the Obama administration’s secret efforts to send Iran $1.7 billion in cash earlier this year, prompting accusations that Lynch has “pleaded the Fifth” Amendment to avoid incriminating herself over these payments, according to lawmakers and communications exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) initially presented Lynch in October with a series of questions about how the cash payment to Iran was approved and delivered.

In an Oct. 24 response, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik responded on Lynch’s behalf, refusing to answer the questions and informing the lawmakers that they are barred from publicly disclosing any details about the cash payment, which was bound up in a ransom deal aimed at freeing several American hostages from Iran.

Donald J. Trump: Fearless Courage, For God, For Family and for Country

In the face of the most horrific attacks on his person, his family, and his policies, Trump has withstood the avalanche of media bias and hatred and never wavered. He has shown he definitely has what it takes to be the 45th President of the United States of America.

Remember the one man in China’s Tiananmen Square who stood defiantly against the tanks? He was mowed down for wanting freedom. The Clinton Machine including main stream media, the Justice Department, the republican 5th column, and every globalist in America, has excoriated Trump with lies, hatred, and half-truths. They too wanted Trump mowed down. But he stood defiantly in the face of all the hatred. And he stood because he knows that America is on the precipice of destruction and only he can save her. He has shown a spine of steel, true chutzpah!

Facebook Says Users Can’t Stop it From Using Biometric Data

Facebook Inc.’s software knows your face almost as well as your mother does. And like mom, it isn’t asking your permission to do what it wants with old photos.

While millions of internet users embrace the tagging of family and friends in photos, others worried there’s something devious afoot are trying to block Facebook as well as Google from amassing such data.

As advances in facial recognition technology give companies the potential to profit from biometric data, privacy advocates see a pattern in how the world’s largest social network and search engine have sold users’ viewing histories for advertising. The companies insist that gathering data on what you look like isn’t against the law, even without your permission.

FBI Found “Tens of Thousands of Emails” Belonging to Huma Abedin on Weiner’s Laptop

With furious Democrats — and the Clinton Campaign — now openly blasting the FBI’s reopened investigation (as Republicans take delight for once in having a government agency reinforce their side of events), the question turns to just what emails were found on Weiner’s laptop, and how damaging their contents are for the FBI to take the unprecedented step of “intervening” in a major political event just days before the national election.

We first laid what was the most likely explanation yesterday, when we showed several examples of Huma Abedin emails being sent from her work email account to her personal account at humaabedin@yahoo.com, courtesy of a Judicial Watch FOIA release. Of the more than 160 emails in the latest Judicial Watch release, some 110 emails — two-thirds of the total — were forwarded by Abedin to two personal addresses she controlled. The Washington Times reported in August 2015 that the State Department had admitted to a federal judge that Abedin and Mills used personal email accounts to conduct government business in addition to Clinton’s private clintonemail.com to transact State Department business.

One email from May 15, 2009, was sent by Abedin from her State Department email to her personal email. Abedin was archiving in her personal email account an email Hillary Clinton sent her from Clinton’s private email server at HDR22@clintonemail.com.

Feds Plan to Force Vaccinations

A public-interest legal team has filed comments with the federal government objecting to a planned Centers for Disease Control rule-change that would allow the government to impose forced vaccinations on Americans under certain circumstances.

Erin Mersino, senior legal counsel for the Great Lakes Justice Center, explained: “This proposed rule is an abuse of power under the pretext of protecting public safety. The government increasingly acts without constitutional authority, thereby undermining good governance under the rule of law.”

The proposal from the CDC comes in the context of defining government’s power to act against individuals in the case of an outbreak of a communicable disease. But the Great Lakes Justice Center contends “the proposed rule reaches far beyond the CDC’s ability to quarantine a person with a serious disease, such as Ebola, by expanding the quarantine regulations to encompass all communicable diseases.”

Found Emails? Clinton Aide Didn’t Delete Old Messages

WASHINGTON (AP) — The longtime Hillary Clinton aide at the center of a renewed FBI email investigation testified under oath four months ago she never deleted old emails, while promising in 2013 not to take sensitive files when she left the State Department.

FBI Director James Comey notified Congress on Friday, less than two weeks before the election, that the emails had led agents to re-examine whether classified information was mishandled. That had been the focus of the bureau’s earlier criminal inquiry into the former secretary of state’s use of a private email server, which Comey said in July didn’t warrant charges.

The newly discovered emails were on a device seized during a sexting investigation of disgraced former New York congressman, Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest aides.

Huma Abedin Swore Under Oath She Gave up ‘All the Devices’ With State Dept. Emails

The FBI found emails pertinent to its Clinton investigation, reportedly on a computer from her aide’s home. That doesn’t jibe with she told lawyers this summer.

In a normal election year, a normal candidate’s close aide who caused even minor embarrassment to a campaign so near to Election Day would be whisked away as quickly as possible to avoid becoming a distraction.

But Huma Abedin is not simply a close aide, she’s a critical member of Hillary Clinton’s tiny inner circle that protects and — at times — enables the deeply flawed and secretive Democratic nominee…

Police: Uber Driver Assaulted, Kidnapped Rider in Prince George’s Co.

WASHINGTON — An Uber driver in Prince George’s County has been arrested, after police said he kidnapped and assaulted a female passenger.

Prince George’s County police said Westagne Pierre, 29, of Greenbelt, was on-duty as an Uber driver in Washington D.C. on Oct. 18. when he picked up a female customer in D.C. who ordered a ride to her home in Virginia.

“Instead of dropping her off, he took her to a hotel in College Park,” said Officer Tyler Hunter with Prince George’s County police.

Hunter said the woman was left at the hotel.

Police claim Pierre used the woman’s credit card near the hotel a short time later.

Uber spokesman Brooke Anderson said the woman contacted the ride sharing app the next day to report the incident. Anderson said that Uber has been working closely with police to support their investigation.

“This is deeply upsetting,” Anderson said. “The driver has been banned from the app, and we are working closely with police to support their investigation.”

Anderson said Pierre registered to drive with Uber in April.

Pierre is charged with kidnapping and assault; police said there may be additional charges in the case, as the investigation into the case continues…

Unprecedented Surge in Election Fraud Incidents From Around the Country

Mounting evidence would suggest it’s getting more and more difficult for the left to claim that there are “no signs” of fraud in the 2016 election cycle…though we’re sure they will continue to try. Just this morning the Miami Herald noted that two arrests were made in Miami-Dade county on election fraud charges including efforts by one woman to illegally register voters (some of whom were dead…a recurring theme this election cycle) while another 74-year-old election worker was charged with actually “illegally marking ballots:

A 74-year-old woman tasked with opening envelopes sent by Miami-Dade County voters with their completed mail ballots was arrested Friday after co-workers caught her illegally marking ballots, resulting in an unknown — but small — number of fraudulent votes being cast for mayoral candidate Raquel Regalado.

Investigators linked Gladys Coego, a temporary worker for the county elections department, to two fraudulent votes, but they suspect from witness testimony that she submitted several more.

Will Barack Obama Delay or Suspend the Election if Hillary is Forced Out by the New FBI Email Investigation?

Just when it looked like Hillary Clinton was poised to win the 2016 election, the FBI has thrown a gamechanger into the mix. On Friday, FBI Director James Comey announced that his agency has discovered new emails related to Hillary Clinton’ s mishandling of classified information that they had not previously seen. According to the Associated Press, the newly discovered emails “ did not come from her private server” , but instead were found when the FBI started going through electronic devices that belonged to top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her husband Anthony Weiner. The FBI has been looking into messages of a sexual nature that Weiner had exchanged with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina, and that is why they originally seized those electronic devices. According to the Washington Post, the “ emails were found on a computer used jointly by both Weiner and his wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, according to a person with knowledge of the inquiry” , and according to some reports there may be “ potentially thousands” of emails on the computer that the FBI did not have access to previously. Even though there are less than two weeks to go until election day, this scandal has the potential to possibly force Clinton out of the race, and if that happens could Barack Obama delay or suspend the election until a replacement candidate can be found?

Let’ s take this one step at a time. On Friday, financial markets tanked when reports of these new Clinton emails hit the wires. The following comes from CNN…

Czech President Rescinds Medal for Holocaust Survivor

Every October 28, the anniversary of the foundation of Czechoslovakia is celebrated by an evening of pomp and circumstance that almost feels outsized to today’s Czech Republic and its political class. Government officials, diplomats, religious leaders, and other dignitaries gather in the gorgeous 14th century Vladislav Hall at Prague Castle to witness the president’s annual address to the nation and the ceremony honoring a small list of distinguished individuals with the highest awards for military and civil merits. In any given year, the group would include World War II veterans, survivors of Nazi and Communist terror, distinguished academics, artists, and writers, and a couple Olympic-medal winners.

While the choice of specific individuals—made at the President’s discretion—usually attracts some degree of controversy, the modern day Czech Republic has never seen a scandal of the magnitude comparable to the one surrounding this year’s ceremony…

  1. Venezuela could issue a new currency, each unit worth 1,000 Bolivars.
    They could call it the Madura.

  2. I don’t understand this business of gold hoarding. This metal is only useful in a handful of technical requirements and in small quantities. I seem to think it’s real allure is a throwback to ancient times and has relevance in today’s world.

    • You are right, after a SHTF event probably food or bullets will be the currency and not gold.

      • According to some anecdotes that come to us from Sarajevo in the mid-’90s the hot commodities were reported to be cigarettes, canned food, and toilet paper. Chocolate bars were also highly desired.

      • Gold as currency is the standard because gold is gold is gold. 22lr is not .223 is not 5.56 is not .308…..

        Kidney beans is not lima is not baked is not long is not green.

        I have 22lr, you have beans. I want 308, you want 22lr. You can try to find someone with 308 who wants beans, trade with them or trade an intermediary trade good for my 22lr then we both go find what we really want.

        Now choose an intermediate trade good…. (gold)

        • Very true.

          Gold will always be a valued medium of exchange in certain situations.

          99% coins like the Eagle and Maple Leaf represent too much wealth to trade for a box of .308 or .22lr.

          If I were prepping I’d be stocking up on the 0.1 oz or similar tiny gold bars. 1 and 10 oz silver bars could also come in handy without too much bulk.

    • You may want to take a look at BIMETALISM:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallism

      One metal is the “store of value”.

      The other is the “transaction medium”.

      These are [some of the] characteristics of money.

      Of course, the ultimate value lies in the desire for consumable commodities, but they are not always easily bartered.

  3. Could Saudi Arabia own the US government? Barack’s the Muslim Brotherhood operatives friend and employer. Gray poser for money walking gland in gland along the sand. Always wrong liar Hilary. I pray Mr Trump will be next president. For the smug racist superior Muslim Brotherhood operatives and wannabes in the White House sneering down on the kufar Americans the game hopefully will soon be up.

  4. I always enjoy reading the comments. some are educational, some are amusing but all are very good.

  5. Stay strong, Viktor Orban — but I know you will! Do not let EU bully you — they are the new nazis of the day. . . our day, that is.

    Best wishes to you, from a fellow Hungarian who is now an American of Hungarian descent — but I’ve visited Hungary and loved it very much, also seeing my relatives. Maybe I can go one more time, but I’m getting old (darn).

  6. In regard to “Feds Plan to Force Vaccinations”
    How about this as a counterbalance:
    None of the below would be pardonable
    Experimental human testing without consent with or without knowledge – death penalty
    Requesting authorization for human testing – death penalty
    Not reporting request for human testing – death penalty
    Obstruction of justice in regard to human testing – death penalty
    Conspiracy to commit human testing with out consent – death penalty

    Because the government has a history of human testing any flinching to the above should make it a non-starter. It is for me anyway.

    • It’s not that simple. Polio survives because Imams in Pakistan and Nigeria tell their “flocks” (?) that immunisation is a Western plot to sterilise Muslim babies, so it could break out more widely at any time. Do they have the right to do that, even if they believe what they say? Think of the S African government’s opposition to retroviral drugs for HIV/AIDS, and the many lives lost.

      On a personal level, I recently had my annual ‘flu jab, still free on the NHS because a) I’m 68, and b) I have to take drugs which suppress my immune system; I’m aware that the vaccine contains a tiny amount of a heavy metal (mercury?) If my condition were communicable, would I have the right to opt out? Poor Typhoid Mary was locked up for the protection of the wider population; was this wrong?
