Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/5/2016

At a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada, Donald Trump had to be hustled offstage by Secret Service agents when a man rushed the stage. There were shouts that the would-be assailant had a gun, but no gun was found after the police arrested him and took him away. Mr. Trump then returned to the stage and continued his speech.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour tonight, boys and girls (assuming you live in Canada or the USA). I’m turning ours back to 1979 — that was a good year here at Schloss Bodissey, even though Jimmuh from the Ummah was still in the White House.

Central Banks Have Broadcast What is About to Hit…

The biggest problem for the financial markets is not stocks nor is it the economy.

It’s the Bond Bubble.

Globally the bond bubble is now over $199 trillion in size. The world taken as a whole is sporting a Debt to GDP ratio of over 250%.

This is a systemic issue.

Once the bond bubble became large enough, Governments themselves are at risk of [becoming] insolvent. At that point, there were only three options:

1) Stop spending as much money.

2) Increase revenues (more on this shortly).

3) Make the debt loads easier to service.

Governments/ politicians will never push #1 because it is political suicide (the minute someone pushes for a budget cut the media and his/ her political opponents begin attacking the candidate for being “heartless” about some issue or other).

Option #2 is the so-called “growth” option. When Central Banks talk about focusing on “growth” what they’re really hoping to do is increase taxes (higher incomes, higher GDP growth=more tax money).

Art Depicting Cannibalism Hangs in Podesta’s Campaign Office

“It’s better to be the guy with the fork than the guy on the table.”

Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s New York office features an oil painting in which two men are preparing to eat another human.

The image, which was shown during a 2015 expose on the Clinton campaign headquarters by Politico, was lent to Podesta by his lobbyist brother Tony…

The WikiLeaks emails specifically surrounded Abramovic inviting both the Podesta brothers to attend an event known as “Spirit Cooking.”

“Spirit Cooking is an event and central ritual started by Marina Abramovic, who is an artist known for her gory performances and occultist rituals,” the website Everipedia notes.

“The origins of Spirit Cooking can be found in the preludes to production of the Cake of Light material, a sacrament in the religion of Thelema which was founded by Aleister Crowley.”

Congress: Stop Hillary’s Security Briefings Now to Protect Americans’ Lives

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents who are investigating Hillary Clinton have revealed that they are 99% certain that the Democratic Party’s hero and leader seeking the presidency had her secret — and controversial — Internet server hacked by foreign intelligence services…

Meanwhile House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy released a statement of his own blasting Clinton: “I call upon the FBI to conduct this investigation expeditiously, and thoroughly brief the American people of its findings in a completely transparent manner. This is due to her fundamental lack of judgment and disregard for protecting and handling of our nation’s highly classified secrets.”

But Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, a loyal Obama minion, replied to Speaker Ryan: “Nominees for president and vice president receive these briefings by virtue of their status as candidates, and do not require separate security clearances before the briefings. Briefings for the candidates will be provided on an even-handed nonpartisan basis.”

Ashley Strong from Speaker Ryan’s office told the news media, “We disagree with [Clapper’s] decision and want to know what precautions will be taken and what assurances the [Director of National Intelligence] can give that Secretary Clinton won’t mishandle classified information. She has proven herself untrustworthy.”

Donald Trump is Rushed Off the Stage by Secret Service While Speaking During Reno Rally After a Protester Runs at the Podium and is Tackled to the Ground by Supporters

Secret Service agents rushed Donald Trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada after they determined a protester in the audience posed a threat to the Republican presidential candidate.

‘Go! Go!’ agents shouted as they whisked him away and a combination of local police and private security wrestled a man at the front of the crowd to the ground.

A sea of bodies scattered, screams rang out and authorities dragged the man away as he kicked and strained.

A Trump campaign source who spoke with DailyMail.com said someone in the audience had shouted ‘gun’ kicking off the ensuing chaos.

While there has been confusion as to whether the man had a weapon, authorities have not recovered one and police do not think the man was armed, the source said…

Erik Prince: NYPD Ready to Make Arrests in Anthony Weiner Case

Blackwater founder and former Navy SEAL Erik Prince told Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM that according to one of his “well-placed sources” in the New York Police Department, “The NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making” in the Anthony Weiner investigation, but received “huge pushback” from the Justice Department…

“NYPD was the first one to look at that laptop,” Prince elaborated. “Weiner and Huma Abedin, his wife — the closest adviser of Hillary Clinton for 20 years — have both flipped. They are cooperating with the government. They both have — they see potential jail time of many years for their crimes, for Huma Abedin sending and receiving and even storing hundreds of thousands of messages from the State Department server and from Hillary Clinton’s own homebrew server, which contained classified information. Weiner faces all kinds of exposure for the inappropriate sexting that was going on and for other information that they found.”

“So NYPD first gets that computer. They see how disgusting it is. They keep a copy of everything, and they pass a copy on to the FBI, which finally pushes the FBI off their chairs, making Comey reopen that investigation, which was indicated in the letter last week. The point being, NYPD has all the information, and they will pursue justice within their rights if the FBI doesn’t,” Prince contended.

“There is all kinds of criminal culpability through all the emails they’ve seen of that 650,000, including money laundering, underage sex, pay-for-play, and, of course, plenty of proof of inappropriate handling, sending/receiving of classified information, up to SAP level Special Access Programs,” he stated.

“So the plot thickens. NYPD was pushing because, as an article quoted one of the chiefs — that’s the level just below commissioner — he said as a parent, as a father with daughters, he could not let that level of evil continue,” Prince said.

George Soros Spending $2 Million to Topple Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Leftist billionaire George Soros gave a PAC, Maricopa Strong, two million dollars to work to remove Sheriff Joe Arpaio from office. It’s part of his apparent plan to elect local prosecutors who may back his criminal leniency and pro-mass immigration agenda. Soros has poured roughly $3 million into local 2016 races in order to back candidates who could use their discretion as district attorneys to reduce sentencing, particularly for suspected drug traffickers, in order to reduce incarceration rates and racial disparities in sentencing across the country. Politico reports wealthy leftists want Arpaio out: The Soros-funded PAC, Maricopa Strong, will file campaign finance documents Friday showing Soros’ multi-million dollar investment against Arpaio, along with $500,000 from Texas energy billionaires…

Gov. Mike Huckabee: Trump Will Win Because America’s Institutions ‘Have All Failed, And Miserably’

LAFAYETTE HILLS, Pennsylvania — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a former rival of 2016 GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump turned ardent supporter post-primary, told Breitbart News exclusively he expects a major Trump victory over Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton on election day on Tuesday.

Huckabee said in an interview on the way to a pro-Trump Super PAC Great America PAC bus tour event he was speaking at here:

“The trade deals haven’t helped the American worker. They’ve declined his wages. So has immigration. You mentioned the institutions-I’ll tell you I think most Americans believe that all of the major institutions of finance, media, government, entertainment, have all failed and miserably. The people at the center of those institutions have all done handsomely well. But the people who are supposed to be served by those institutions have been decimated. And so where the wealth of the few have increased dramatically, just the ability to exist on the part of most people has declined miserably.”

Julian Assange: “Hillary Made the FBI Look Weak, And Now They’re Out for Payback”

Assange, whose WikiLeaks website has over the last ten months released three sizable batches of emails, relating to Clinton herself, the Democratic National Committee, and her campaign manager John Podesta, said the FBI has cause to investigate Clinton. “There’s a thread that runs through all of these emails. There is quite a lot of “pay-to-play,” as they call it — taking… giving access in exchange for money for many individual states, individuals and corporations. Combined with the cover-up of Hillary Clinton’s emails while she was Secretary of State this has led to an environment where the pressure on the FBI [to investigate] increases,” Assange said.

Regardless of whether Clinton ever faces charges, Assange asserted that Clinton was beholden to corporate and political entities that have been hidden from the electorate during the race to the White House.

“She’s this centralizing cog, so that you’ve got a lot of different gears in operation from the big banks like Goldman Sachs, and major elements of Wall Street, and intelligence, and people in the State Department, and the Saudis, and so on. She’s is the, if you like, the centralizer that interconnects all these different cogs. She’s smooth central representation of all that, and all that is more or less what is in power now in the United States,” stated Assange, who said that the leaked emails presented a clear picture of this nexus of influences.

Law Enforcement Begs World: Read Hillary Emails to Find Child Rape Evidence

Hillary linked to child sex ring, emails suggest

The Clinton campaign and its associates sought out underage children for “entertainment” at a hot tub party and made strange references to “hot dogs” and “Beanie Babies” in emails which may contain code for pedophilia or other illegal activities, according to investigative researchers.

Law enforcement sources have asked the public to point out potential code words for “weapons, drugs and people” in the emails released by Wikileaks — and evidence of child sex trafficking would explain why the FBI reopened their investigation into Hillary Clinton despite severe political blowback.

Be warned: while these emails could refer to non-sensical, inside jokes, that’s not the conclusion of many of those who’ve seen these bizarre emails — and there’s hundreds.

An Oct. 2015 email inviting members of the campaign to a rural getaway pointed out that three children ages 11, 9 and almost 7 would be supplied for entertainment.

Old America vs New America: What is at Stake in This Election

This will be your last chance to stop the derailment of the “Old America” and reverse the march to corporate-controlled world government.

The “Old America” was socially conservative in the sense of valuing what had passed the test of time insofar as ensuring social stability and domestic tranquility. While not opposed to change absolutely, change agents had to make a compelling case. The “Old America” disapproved of change for the sake of change. It disdained social experimentation. The “Old America,” now accused of being too white, too rural, and too “uneducated,” was more in touch with the land. It understood that food does not originate on grocery store shelves. It valued making and building things (i.e., manufacturing).

What does the “New America” embody? It now calls itself progressive (liberal having left a bad taste in too many mouths). It speaks of the Constitution as a “living document,” which tells us that in practice the Constitution will mean whatever the Supreme Court and other opinion-makers want it to mean, not what it meant to the Founding Fathers. In truth: the “New America” has no use for Constitutional controls on government. It describes the “Old America” in hateful, loaded language as racist, sexist, homophobic, you know the PC litany…

So yes, this election is about more than just Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. It is about two utterly different ways of looking at the world — two incommensurable worldviews. This explains the unprecedented hostility between the two camps. Neither sees the other as legitimate. The mutual hostility will survive this election no matter who wins. So whose worldview is closer to the truth?

The “Old America” gave us the highest civilization anyone had ever achieved if that counts for anything. It was not perfect, just better. The “New America” has given us division and destruction. In its Orwellian worldview, hatred for dissent is masked by nice phrases like stronger together.

Tesla, ‘World’s Safest Car, ‘ Explodes Like a Bomb

The world’s safest car just blew up like a bomb but that message seems to be getting lost amidst the larger coverage about Tesla.

For years and years, Tesla has never made a nickel despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars. But the company is beloved by the predictable monetary elites that seek more and more control over the rest of us.

Founder Elon Musk offers that potential control. Every day, he works as hard as he can to ensure that sooner or later government will take away your ability to drive where you want when you want.

Here at DB, we’ve written several articles about Tesla (here and here, most recently). We don’t like the car and much more than that, we don’t like the implications behind it.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is fairly clear about his goals. He wants to create an electric, self-driving car. And he has Tesla fans throughout the US and the world.

Extend the logic and you come the inevitable conclusion that larger entities will have to support Tesla’s vision. These entities will surely be linked to some sort of government control.

The Greatest Spy Story Ever Told

One candidate for most amazing video of the presidential race on the Net now is an anonymous 8-minute biography of Huma Abedin (www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bTyYAAqg0I), former right-hand woman to American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and (until last Friday) her closest associate for twenty years.

Snippets of Abedin’s biography have floated through the blogosphere for years, but this is the first coherent exposé that tempts a reasonable person to consider the current crisis surrounding Hillary Clinton and emails as part of the greatest spying operation, the greatest secret agent story, in history.

Huma Abedin, though born in the States, grew up in Saudi Arabia, ages 2-18, in a family whose livelihood was provided by the same network of Saudi jihadis connected to Al-Qaida on September 11, 2001. Indeed, on that very day, Huma herself was a salaried employee of a Muslim think tank run by her mother, a major figure in the women’s section of the Muslim Brotherhood. Huma’s mother, completely enrobed, supports female genital mutilation, the world conquest of sharia, and other principles of the same version of Islam that Osama bin Ladin lived and died by. Huma’s brother also works for this Muslim Brotherhood-funded operation.

The Incestuous Elitist Establishment and the Clintons

“The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution.” -Thomas Jefferson

Kadzik’s involvement in the current Weiner/Huma/Clinton situation is great cause for alarm. Zero Hedge reported that among the recent batch of hacked emails released by WikiLeaks, we learned that the day after Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi October 2015, John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chairman, met for dinner with a small group of well-connected friends, including Peter Kadzik, who is currently a top official at the US Justice Department serving as Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs.

So, here’s the bottom line folks…the best friend of John Podesta at the DOJ, will be in charge of a probe that could potentially sink Hillary Clinton. And WikiLeaks has already documented that Kadzik shared information about the congressional investigation of Hillary Clinton with his friend John Podesta. Kadzik already testified before Congress on the Hillary Clinton email investigation. He believed she was innocent. Like Donald Trump says, “It’s rigged!”

Two Different Investigations

These investigations are being conducted by a completely different team of FBI agents who are under the purview of prosecutors of the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn. This is the office that Attorney General, Loretta Lynch ran for six years when she was appointed by Bill Clinton. Obama chose her from the Eastern District and made her Attorney General. While Lynch was at the Eastern District, she staffed it, and all the prosecutors and employees at this District are still Lynch’s. Here’s where it gets ugly. This is apparently the office that has the Clinton Foundation investigation, ahem…

French Teenager Convicted of ‘Condoning Terrorism’ For Naming Wi-Fi Network ‘Daesh’

An 18-year-old man from eastern France was given a three-month suspended sentence under a strict new anti-terrorism law for “publicly condoning an act of terrorism” by naming his Wi-Fi network “Daesh 21” — seemingly in reference to Islamic State. Daesh is an Arabic acronym for Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) that is often used as a pejorative by politicians to describe the terrorist group. The number “21” likely stands for the French department of Cote d’Or, of which Dijon is the capital, local media reported.

Is Switzerland Prepared for Terrorism?

An increasing number of large and well-known Swiss companies are insuring themselves again terrorism: Swiss Federal Railways, major airports and even the Zurich Opera House. Switzerland itself, however, doesn’t have a government solution for major damages.

In the view of Switzerland’s intelligence service, the country is not a primary target of jihad terrorism because it is not taking part in the military battle against the Islamic State (IS). Nevertheless, the danger of terrorism has also increased here since the terror attacks on Paris, Nice and Brussels.

Erdogan’s Crackdown on Kurdish HDP Party Leaders Triggers Terror Bombing

Turkey’s Islamist dictator, President Recep Tayyip is out to destroy what is left of democratic opposition and free speech , as well as relations with the EU, NATO and, possibly the US. We say possibly the US, because Erdogan considers the lame duck administration of President Obama as headed by a friend, President Obama. Lest we forget Obama’s first overseas foray in his first term was to Ankara to deliver his first in a series of Muslim country outreach speeches and ingratiate himself with then Premier Erdogan. This summer, we witnessed Vice President Biden scurrying off to Ankara to meet with Erdogan making common cause with the Turkish President’s incursion into northern Syria primarily to fight Kurds, and, only secondarily, the Islamic State. More recently we have seen Erdogan flexing his military muscle to jump into the fray in Iraq with proxy Sunni militia fighters to ‘assist’ in the battle for retaking Mosul. He has made it clear he wants to control an independent ‘Sunnistan’ there, harkening back to the Ottoman Empire when Mosul was a vilayet. Erdogan has pretensions of becoming the neo-Sultan of a resurgent Turkish dominated Caliphate…

Consider the Cost America

Everyone who still prefers Mrs. Clinton as president, you should look in the mirror and ask what in the hell is wrong with my thinking? The United States of America lost 100,000 jobs to South Korea after a trade agreement that Mrs. Clinton supported when she was Secretary of State. It is difficult for me to comprehend how some individuals will relentlessly force policies upon America that they know is detrimental to our cohesiveness as a nation. But what we the American people comprehend, or care about does not matter to Mrs. Clinton.

She has let it be known that as president there would be a 550% percent increase in Syrian refugees allowed to storm into our republic. Mrs. Clinton does not even care that American women throughout the republic would be in immediate danger of being raped and otherwise tortured by thuggish Muslim extremists who have a general disregard for the unalienable rights of individuals, especially when, the proof of what I am illustrating in this column is clearly on display in the streets of America where such atrocities already occur. Unfortunately they go unreported by the progressive dragon media that is in the tank for Mrs. Clinton. Her philosophy centers around destroying our constitutionally limited form of government that was meant to be of by and for the people, meaning you and I.

Next to indoctrinating generations of American students against our beloved republic, the greatest way to destroy America from within is bringing in millions of American hating illegal immigrants.

Final Warning From Immigration Officers: Clinton, Open Borders Will ‘Unleash’ Violence, ‘Countless Preventable Deaths’ In America

In a final warning to the American people ahead of Tuesday’s election, the nation’s frontline immigration officers are calling upon voters to reject Hillary Clinton and her “radical” open borders vision that will “unleash” violence in American communities and “cause countless preventable deaths.”

Although the nation’s border emergency goes virtually unreported by “corporate-funded media,” Clinton’s immigration policies would greatly exacerbate the crisis, the officers warn in a statement written by the president of the National ICE Council, which represents the nation’s roughly 5,000 frontline ICE officers, agents, and personnel.

“Hillary’s pledge for ‘open borders’ will mean disaster for our country, and turn the present border emergency into a cataclysm,” writes ICE Council President Chris Crane. “Hillary’s plan would unleash violent cartels and brutal transnational gangs into US communities and cause countless preventable deaths.”

Crane explains that the uncontrolled flood of record numbers of migrants into the country will be especially harmful on poor communities- including Hispanic and immigrant communities that will bear “the economic brunt the illegal immigrant surge.”

Hillary Clinton’s Feminist ‘Modification’ of America Previewed

A philosophy book with the blunt title Just the Arguments caught my eye at Barnes & Noble a couple of weeks ago. Edited by Michael Bruce and Steven Barbone, the book is a collection of articles on what the editors claim are “100 of the most important arguments in Western philosophy.”

This no-nonsense approach is welcome relief in philosophy. Anyone who has taken a course in the subject and slogged through original sources knows what a chore it can be to figure out what is being argued and how. Undergraduate and even graduate level philosophy students will find the book very helpful. The general public can benefit as well because many of the arguments are easy to follow and rules of logic that justify inferences are shown. There’s a glossary of technical concepts at the end.

  1. “Don’t forget to turn your clocks back an hour tonight, boys and girls (assuming you live in Canada or the USA).”

    I think the good people of Virginia (among whom the likes of Congresspersons from across the country live) should make it clear to the powers that be in D.C. that the Time Zones cover quite a few miles from east to west. In other words, “Eastern Time” goes well beyond D.C. and New York, and once you get beyond mid-point, the sun is no longer directly overhead at high noon on the clock. In places like Indiana (where the state was legally made the same across it) “Eastern Daylight” time knocked things off the mark by an hour and a half.

    Insisting on “Daylight Savings Time” was not public service. It upset the business world and it regularly upsets the animal kingdom.

  2. I attended the Reno rally and canvassed several neighborhoods for the campaign. The sheer volume of support for him is like nothing I’ve never seen since 1984.

    I now feel that an incredible amount of fraud will be necessary to overcome his support and a new day will “Don” on Wednesday.

  3. pretty funny turning your clock back to 1979 Baron. I’ve tried to turn mine back to the day before I was born, but not havin’ any luck.

  4. It is difficult for me to imagine why anyone in their right mind would vote for the lying, cheating, corrupt hildabeast but my husband (much smarter than I) tells me she will win anyway.

    so I’m thinking if we survived 8 years of The One, we might survive 4 years of the beast. Thank God I live in the middle of nowhere.

    We will be voting for The Donald, of course.
