Communist icon lets cat out of bag on U.S. ‘refugees’

University professor and former Communist Party USA leader Angela Davis said in an interview that the refugee movement “is the movement of the 21st century” for radicals such as herself.

The 1960s’ queen of counter-culture activism was filmed walking through the streets of Berlin, Germany, during a May 14-15 visit listening to the problems encountered by African refugees living in the city. Many have been squatting in a former school since December 2012, but Davis was not allowed in, so she talked with refugee activists outside the front gate.

Bill and Hillary Clinton Made Over $1 Million for Four Speeches in One Day | The Weekly Standard

I don’t care how much they make.  I am bothered by who is paying them these
outrageous amounts.  College tuitions keep
rising.  It is harder and harder for
people to attend.  People hock their
lives to get school loans; some never get paid back so the tax payers have to pony
up so that Billy and Hillary can live the millionaire life.  That is so dammed wrong.  Congress, do something about it.  Politicians have become America’s royal class
and the tax payers are forced to support them. 
Looks like it is time to throw the tea  overboard again.

On the occasion of Nakba day - the day Palestinians commemorate "the catastrophe" of the establishment of the State of Israel - Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement reiterated its message that there is no room for Israel in the region. The movement posted the following text on its Facebook page, showing that the two-state solution is not something Fatah wants realized:   

 

"The marking of the anniversary day of the Nakba in Tubas.
From its [Mediterranean] Sea to its [Jordan] River... it is ours.

Israel conducts “secret medical experiments” on prisoners - PMW Bulletins

Israel conducts “secret medical experiments” on prisoners - PMW Bulletins

by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

 

One of the ways the Palestinian Authority demonizes Israel is by spreading libels. One such libel claims that Israel conducts medical experiments on Palestinian prisoners, poisons them and deliberately kills them.

 

Last month, the official PA daily stated that Israel carries out medical experiments and speculated that it “perhaps” poisons them as well:

“The occupation authorities conduct medical experiments on the prisoners, giving them medicines and perhaps poison.”

Ferguson Rent-A-Mobs Exposed

Ferguson Rent-A-Mobs Exposed

ACORN’s successor group in Missouri has been paying protesters $5,000 a month to generate civil unrest in Ferguson, the troubled St. Louis suburb where black youth Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer last August.

We know this because some of the protesters haven’t been paid and, now, they are demanding what they were promised. They held a sit-in at the offices of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) and posted a demand letter online.

In an interview with Time’s Fareed Zakaria, Obama named his international top friends, who are Erdoğan, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and British Prime Minister David Cameron, the Washington-based Foreign Policy magazine reported on Thursday. “Have you been able to forge similar relationships with foreign leaders?” Zakaria asked Obama. “Because one of the criticisms people make about your style of diplomacy is it’s very cool, it’s aloof, that you don’t pal around with these guys.”

Obama replied that he could not compare his relationships to those of past presidents, but “the friendships and the bonds of trust that I’ve been able to forge with a whole range of leaders is precisely -- or is a big part of what has allowed us to execute effective diplomacy.”

He sparked outrage with the speech made at a convention organised by women’s groups campaigning to eliminate gender discrimination in all its forms.

“You cannot make women and men equal; this is against nature,” Mr Erdoğan told the meeting full of women including his own daughter, Today’s Zaman reported.

“You cannot subject a pregnant woman to the same working conditions as a man.

“You cannot make a mother who has to breastfeed her child equal to a man. You cannot make women do everything men do like the communist regimes did…this is against her delicate nature.”

“Unfortunately we the Muslims lost our aim to head towards
Jerusalem. The water of our eyes froze making us blind, and our hearts that was
destined to beat for Jerusalem is now instead conditioned for rivalry being in
a state of war with each other.” Erdogan’s desire to end strife and unite
Sunnis and Shiites to aim towards Jerusalem was made in the state of Erzincan,
central Turkey, in which he expressed his desire for the place to become
suitable for Al-Isra’ Wal-M’iraj (Muhammad’s ascension to heaven and descent to
Jerusalem) where he claimed is the cause of goodness: “descending from heaven
over all Muslim nations”. -

President Erdogan of Turkey Is a Islamist craving for an Islamic
World Caliphate with him as the rules. 
He has taken turkey, a onetime secular country and is turning it into a
very Islamic country.  Turkey and Israel
had fairly cordial relations until quite recently.  The rift vegan when Turkey sent a ship with military
supplies to Gaza that was supposedly sending humanitarian supplies.  Israeli military boarded the ship to inspect
its cargo and were attacked with weapons and had to defend themselves.     That resulted in injuries to both Israelis and
people on the ships.    Erdogam
Is making noise for the benefit of the Islamists.  He is begin for attention.

Push to court-martial general for thanking God

Push to court-martial general for thanking God

What I saw in the General’s speech was a man confessing he did not have the ability to do the things he was tasked to do. He said ““flying complex aircraft; doing complex nuclear missions – I have no ability to do that” and “in charge of failing programs worth billions of dollars. I have no ability to do that, no training to do that.” and “He (God0 sent me to Iraq to negotiate foreign military sales deals through an Arabic interpreter. I have no ability to do that. I was not trained to do that”.  He was not going to tke any responsibility for his actions.  It was all God’s doing. That sounds to me like God took a no talent empty shell and put him into situations he had no idea of how to handle. 

He was trying to give credit to God for his accomplishments or lack thereof.  But his choice of words was  not clear.  I would have retired him for his lack of ability to communicate

Sweden’s welfare bonanza for returning ISIS jihadists

Swedish nationals who return from fighting
with the Islamic State shall receive free housing, health care and financial
support to help cope with their trauma. The country's own military has no such
benefits.

My thoughts: 
Sweden must be put on the terror list for aiding and abetting acts of terror.  Passengers carrying Swedish passports must be
barred from entering the US, allowing only special circumstances.  How anyone can come to the conclusion that

kidnappers, rapists, and murderers should be welcomed and even supported by the
state, makes one’s head spin. They are putting their own citizens in
danger.  Not my kind of a government.

What are your thoughts?

Saudi Arabia's Secret $49 Trillion Deal with Congress

Saudi Arabia's Secret $49 Trillion Deal with Congress

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's bank has begun quietly accumulating trillions of dollars in one of Wall Street's most complex, unsecured financial instruments. In a shocking move, the Obama administration pushed through key legislation which includes a taxpayer-funded "insurance policy" or "bailout" covering the Saudi Prince's $49-trillion gamble. Should the rise of Saudi influence and ongoing conflicts across Ukraine and the Middle East serve as a warning sign that something much more dangerous is approaching? According to Jim Rickards, the CIA's Asymmetric Warfare Advisor, the answer is yes. In a startling interview he reveals that all 16 U.S. Intelligence Agencies have begun to prepare for World War III. Making matters worse, his colleagues believe it could begin within the next 6 months. However, the ground zero location for this global conflict is what makes his interview a must-see for every American. Take a few moments to watch it below and decide for yourself.

Rick Warren’s Call for Christians to Unite With Catholics, ‘Holy Father’ Raising Concerns

Rick Warren’s Call for Christians to Unite With Catholics, ‘Holy Father’ Raising Concerns

In a new video, megachurch leader and author Rick
Warren is calling for Christians to unite with Roman Catholics and “Pope
Francis,” who Warren recently referred to as the “Holy Father”—a move that
is raising concerns among Christians nationwide and is resulting in calls for
Warren to repent.

Warren made the comments following his visit to the Vatican
last month, where he spoke at an interfaith conference on the “Complementarity
of Man and Woman.”

“We have far more in common than what divides us,” he said
in the two-minute video released by the Catholic News Service on Wednesday,
described as being an outline for “an ecumenical vision for Catholics and
Protestants to work together to defend the sanctity of life, sex and marriage.”

He’s an unusual volunteer in several respects: he’s 51 years old, the first time he handled a gun was at a shooting range right before he left for Syria, and he is almost certainly the only YPG fighter who has appeared in movies with Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp. Enright was in good spirits when he talked with the UK Daily Mail over the weekend about his decision to take up arms against ISIS and his experiences in Syria thus far. He does not seem to have received any special treatment from the Kurdish YPG militia due to his pre-war occupation and connections with celebrities, and he does not want any.

FLASHBACK: FBI Warns of Train Derailment Threat

Devices that could be used by terrorists to derail trains are being stolen from rail facilities around the country, the FBI warned today.

Nine derailers, a piece of railroad equipment used to derail train cars for safety purposes in railyards have been stolen recently, sources said, citing the FBI’s weekly intelligence bulletin.

The theft of these items is strange since they are of little use outside of the rail industry, according to the bulletin.

Railroads have been targeted in the past by terrorists, the bulletin said

PA honors 3 terrorists who lynched two Israeli reservists - PMW Bulletins

PA honors 3 terrorists who lynched two Israeli reservists - PMW Bulletins

Last week, Palestinian Authority Member of Parliament and Director of the PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs Issa Karake visited the families of three of the terrorists who took part in the lynching and murder of two Israeli reservists in 2000. Karake honored these murderers by giving their families "plaques of honor." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, May 9, 2015]

Karake has stated that Palestinians have an unequivocal right to "resistance" and "struggle" - PA euphemisms for violence against Israel. He calls the murderers of Israelis "heroes."

On Oct. 12, 2000, a Palestinian mob brutally murdered and mutilated the bodies of two Israeli reservists who had accidentally entered Ramallah. A well-known picture from the gruesome murder showed a Palestinian raising his bloodied hands heroically, showing the crowd his hands covered in the blood of his victims. The bodies of the two Israelis were thrown out of the window, and the mob dragged them through the streets of Ramallah.

 I was intrigued by this fact and so we asked ourselves whether it would be possible to emulate a male humpback: to write our own love song and then play it, using the instruments of an orchestra? Could we serenade a humpback ourselves? Then imagine what could happened if the whales were to hear our song. We thought that would prove that when it comes to communication, anything is possible.”

The Saudi-Iranian Proxy War in Yemen

The Saudi-Iranian Proxy War in Yemen

The current Houthi uprising is but the latest phase in a prolonged internecine strife. Having long suffered discrimination and marginalization by the central government, this Zaidi Shiite group, about forty percent of Yemen's population, capitalized on the massive upheavals sweeping across the region since 2011 to help topple President Ali Abdullah Saleh. In subsequent years the Houthis steadily extended their control throughout the country and by January 2015, with Tehran's active aid and support, had unseated Saleh's successor, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, dissolved parliament, and established a revolutionary committee in its place.

A cartoon in the English-language Saudi daily Arab News explains why an Arab coalition is intervening in Yemen.

As the Houthis closed on the port town of Aden (where Hadi proclaimed a provisional government) in an attempt to seize control of the strategic navigation route via the Bab el-Mandeb strait, the Saudis rallied Yemeni Sunni tribes (albeit with little success); formed an international Sunni coalition that launched airstrikes against the Houthis; prevented Iranian planes from delivering weapons and military equipment to the rebels; and massed ground forces along their border with Yemen.

A Turkish-Saudi Military Offensive in Syria?

A Turkish-Saudi Military Offensive in Syria?







On June 22, 2012, a Turkish RF-4E military reconnaissance aircraft took off
from an air base in eastern Turkey. It flew at low altitude, as most spy planes
do, and violated Syrian airspace before it was hit -- most likely -- by a
missile fired from a Syrian- or Russian-operated air defense system. Two
Turkish pilots were killed. Their bodies were later recovered from the
Mediterranean Sea with help from a US ship.





Turkey was all rage. Turkey's then-prime minister (now president), Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, vowed revenge. The Turks claimed their aircraft was flying on a
training mission. It was most likely flying on a mission to spy on air defense
systems in Syria.





Nearly three years later, on the morning of March 25, a Russian-made Syrian
Scud missile, estimated to have been fired from a range of 180 kilometers, exploded
near the Reyhanli district in Turkey's southernmost city of Hatay, near the
Syrian border. The missile left a 15-meter-wide crater in a stream bed, broke
the windows of the surrounding houses, caused the roof of a building in the
nearby military base to collapse, damaged two military vehicles and inflicted
minor injuries on five Turkish civilians.

Top 17 Miraculous Israeli Military Victories - Israel Video Network



On April 4th 1948, the odds were not in Israel’s favor. Outnumbered ten to three and with artillery shells raining down on them, a few hundred Jewish residents and soldiers managed to hold off about one thousand troops of the Arab Liberation Army. The Arabs had attacked the kibbutz, Mishmar Haemek, with the intent of taking it for the strategic location in between Jenin and Haifa. All hope seemed lost, yet surrender was not acceptable. Miraculously, the highly outnumbered Jewish forces managed to go on the offensive, successfully taking over the Arab villages surrounding the kibbutz. This attack led to the Arab Liberation Army’s retreat and was the last significant stand of the Arab Liberation Front in the Israeli War of Independence.

Iran Has Red Lines -- Too Bad the U.S. Doesn't



Deal or no deal, just days before the vote, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces outlined Iran's red lines.

• To block "infiltration" of "Iran's defense and security affairs under the pretext of nuclear supervision and inspection... Iranian military officials are not allowed to let the foreigners go through the country's security-defense shield and fence."
• "Iran's military officials are not at all allowed to stop the country's defense development and progress on the pretext of supervision and inspection and the country's defense development and capabilities should not be harmed in the talks."
• "Our support for our brothers in the resistance (Hizb'allah, Assad, Yemeni Houthis, Hamas) in different places should not be undermined."
• A final deal should be a "comprehensive one envisaging the right for Iran to rapidly reverse its measures in case the opposite side refrains from holding up its end of the bargain."
• "Iran's national security necessitates guaranteed irreversibility of the sanctions removal and this is no issue for bargaining, trade, or compromise."
• "Implementation...should totally depend on the approval of the country's legal and official authorities and the start time for the implementation of undertakings should first be approved by the relevant bodies."
• Iran would not be limited in transferring its nuclear know-how to other countries of its choosing

Iran's Political Weapons: Rape and Torture

Iran's Political Weapons: Rape and Torture

"[B]oth the ISIS and Islamic Republic [of Iran] use rape as a political weapon against Kurdish women on the basis of ethnicity, gender, and religion. The only difference is that the Islamic Republic denies its well-documented abuses while ISIS publically defends its enslavement of Kurdish women and girls." — Dr. Amir Sharifi, Director, Kurdish Human Rights Advocacy Group.

"Women in Iran as a whole, and Kurdish women in particular, have very little legal protection against sexual harassment or violence." — Dr. Amir Sharifi, Director, Kurdish Human Rights Advocacy Group.

One of the most savage forms of state-sponsored human rights abuse aimed at women in custody in Iran is the raping of virgins prior to execution.

Sixty-nine years after the fall of the Kurdish Republic, the fate of Kurds in Iranian Kurdistan is still in the hands of a regime hostile to them and to all the values of the West.

Russell Wilson is known to be one of classiest acts in the NFL. He’s also one of the most outspoken Christians in the NFL, as well. Well, last week he lived up to both of those reputations.



While on a flight with Alaska Airlines, Wilson spotted a soldier making his way toward the coach section of the plane. Wilson, being the awesome guy that he is, immediately upgraded the homebound warrior to a first-class seat. This soldier was so astonished by the kindness that he took to Twitter to tell everyone about it.

From the ForAmerica War Room - For America



Finally, the ForAmerica carried on its campaign to inform the American people on the vulnerability of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Governor Bush isn’t doing himself any favors by continuing to compliment President Obama’s policies. We were interviewed and included in a Washington Post article entitled Can Jeb Bush win the GOP nomination . . . by praising President Obama? It was noted in our quote that Bush has “kept his gloves on” when referencing the President. The article also notes Bush’s equally perplexing support for Obama nominee, now Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. During her confirmation hearings, Lynch was adamant about her support for President Obama’s executive amnesty order, and partial birth abortion. As noted on Breitbart our position was that a vote to confirm Loretta Lynch was a vote in favor of amnesty and partial birth abortion. It was extremely disappointing to see 10 Republicans vote to confirm Lynch, including Mitch McConnell and Presidential hopeful, Lindsey Graham. Yet again, Senate GOP leadership has failed conservatives. If they don’t get their acts together soon, it will be the leadership that threatens to cripple Republican chances of winning the White House in 2016.

'They Turned Me Into a Sex Machine;' 214 Women and Children Rescued From Boko Haram Are Pregnant

A reported 677 women, most of whom were abducted in the past nine months, have been rescued from the Islamic militants in recent weeks.

Among them is Asabe Aliyu, a 23-year-old mother of four who was abducted from Delsak village in northeast Nigeria six months ago by Boko Haram. She recalled being raped repeatedly by different men on a daily basis and even being forced to marry one of her attackers.

"I was abducted six months ago in Delsak when our village was overrun by Boko Haram," the pregnant and teary-eyed Aliyu, told Nigerian paper The Daily Times. "First I had sojourned from my village to a forest close to Cameroun, they turned me into a sex machine. They took turns to sleep with me. Now, I am pregnant and I cannot identify the father."

The Difference Between Islam and Islamism?

The Difference Between Islam and Islamism?

There is simply no other religion that condemns and dehumanizes those who merely believe in other faiths, or those who prefer no faith, to this extent.



During the Ottoman Empire, non-Muslims, including Jews, were dhimmis (tolerated, second-class citizens in an Islamic state, and required to pay the jizya "protection" tax.)



The "modern" Turkish Republic, however, established in 1923, did not provide Jews or other non-Muslims with greater rights and liberties, either.



Even though Turkey is one of the few so-called "secular" Muslim countries, its Jewish, Christian, Alevi, Yezidi and other non-Muslim communities have been exposed to persecution and systematic discrimination -- including ethnic cleansings, massacres, pogroms, forced conversions, forced assimilation and forced displacement for decades under non-Islamist governments.

'Jihad Intel' Launched by the Middle East Forum

'Jihad IntelJihad Intel, http://jihadintel.meforum.org, gives police tools to identify terrorists acting on behalf of Islam and to connect the dots before a terrorist incident takes place.

Not only does the FBI admit that the threat of ISIS attacks in the West is "not even close to being under control," but there are hundreds more jihadi organizations, with new ones forming continually. Most are active on social media, recruiting globally.

Each has its own identifying symbols. So, in response, Jihad Intel has established a public, gratis database of visual identifiers of over 125 Islamic terrorist groups – hundreds of emblems, flags, headbands, graffiti, propaganda, social media tags and other symbols used to incite Muslims to violence – with new groups and identifiers added continually.

The destruction of the USA and its takeover by domestic

recent history, Roger Nash Baldwin (founder of the ACLU and ‘father’ of many
other leftist organizations) was one of the prime “leg men” in establishing the
foundation for the overthrow of the USA.

Elton Simpson, a convert to Islam, and Nadir Soofi assaulted an event featuring Dutch anti-Islam demagogue Geert Wilders, and hosted by the American agitator against Muslims, Pamela Geller.

U.S.-Led Forces Killed Syrian Civilians, Rights Groups Say: Airstrikes on village controlled by Islamic State kills more than 60 civilians, say two human-rights groups (Wall Street Journal 5/1/15)

This is not a "gotcha" column. But before reviewing American drone and airstrike policy, it is not inappropriate to remind the president and company that hubris is an unattractive trait.Last summer, as Israel was defending itself from Hamas rockets fired at its civilian population often from within the civilian population of Gaza, the White House was vehement in its criticism of Israel. A White House spokesman called Palestinian casualties, "totally unacceptable and totally indefensible." A DoD spokesman said, "The civilian casualties in Gaza have been too high. And it's become clear that the Israelis need to do more to live up to their very high and public standards." The State Department piled on. After one incident in which Hamas and UNRWA claimed only civilian casualties had occurred, the White House said, "All evidence points to Israeli artillery as the cause," and that Israel "can and should do more to protect the lives of innocent civilians." [The exception to the stream of invective was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, who not only said Israel went to "extraordinary lengths" to avoid civilian casualties, but sent a senior team of American military officers to Israel to study IDF counterterrorism and urban warfare tactics.]

Is Iran Really a Partner?

Is I

The international community is failing to respond to Iran's weapons and terrorism networks.

In recent years, Iran's networks have been expanding significantly, most often with deadly results for the region.

While Iran's nuclear program is the focus of intense global attention, the international community frequently overlooks the sophisticated Iranian transnational weapons smuggling and terrorism networks, currently fueling wars and instability across the Middle East.

Weapons ships disguised as cargo vessels, Iranian airlines that carry arms, and ground convoys ferrying missiles, rockets, guns, and ammunition are all used to arm members of Iran's regional network.ran Really a Partner?

Chris Cabrera surveyed the scene from his white pickup truck. A border patrol agent for 13 years, he knows how to spot the clues, some obvious – like the jeans – others more subtle, like the flattened grass nearby that formed a northwards path through dense bushes. Its width suggested two or three people walking side by side, which Cabrera said was an indicator of drug smuggling activity: migrant groups tend to move in single file. - See more at: http://americanactionnews.com/articles/us-mexico-border-braces-for-summer-surge#sthash.uizy2c0g.dpuf
