Editorial: What this Election Means to America

By Political Arena Editor Chuck Norton

iceberg-w-quoteIf you are reading this editorial you are likely one of the 43% of voters who bothers to look below the surface and not simply accept the narrative from the evening news and the local paper. You know that many  of the accusations levied against Donald J. Trump in the elite media are either greatly exaggerated or flat out false.

If you doubt that, have you noticed that not a single person that Donald Trump has worked with, not a single employee past or present, has a bad thing to say about him? Think about what a miraculous accomplishment that is. How many of us have had a bad boss and told people about it?

That said, I am confident that we can all agree that Trump has flaws and has led a flamboyant life. Donald Trump’s very public life is filled with hills and valleys.

Why is Donald Trump even running for President of the United States? He is 70 years old and has all the power and money in the world.

As years goes by, we are reminded of the passage of time, our own human mortality, and with that we are forced to come to terms with the presence of time. Then it happens. There comes a time in a mans life where the only thing that really matters to him is the world his grandchildren grow up in. Such a man, becomes very dangerous to a status quo that is failing America in a big way.

Think for a moment and ask yourself, since Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, Obama and now Hillary – is there really that much policy difference between them? So in near lock step are they the Bush and Clinton Foundations have given each other awards banquets for good public service. We have trillions more in debt and what have we to show for it other than a donor class that has gotten very wealthy off of our federal money?

The evidence is abundant, for those willing to take the short time required to find it, that big money interests have captured the Democratic Party from stem to stern. They also have their claws deep into the Republican congressional leadership. This is why there is a civil war in the Republican Party as grass roots party leaders have declared war on the corrupt national leadership, which is funded in part by the same people who fund the Democrats.

So who is going to fix it? Jeb? John Kasich? And while Ted Cruz is a capable man, he cannot fight this battle in the culture like Donald Trump can.

Donald, as a civilian candidate, had his share of gaff’s until he got up to speed on policy and what it means to be “presidential” – but this is what presidential campaigns are for. The campaign is a trial and a maturing process. In our view, Donald has risen to the challenge.

This very writer has read Donald Trump’s  book long before he got into politics. To say that the guy is capable is perhaps the understatement of the century as “under budget and ahead of schedule” is pretty much the story of his life.

Trump literally owns hundreds of companies of which only a few have failed. Although at times he speaks a bit like a ruffian, his life accomplishments show him to be a genius with a flare for the highly creative. He truly understands leadership and how to get things done.

On policy we could author a book on how Trump is spot on about trade policy, common core, VA reform, a code of federal regulations that is 176,000 pages long, corporate inversions, and and insane tax code that puts domestic business at a terrible disadvantage That said, Hillary Clinton has no intention of taking on such problems. Her donors simply won’t have it.

Always remember that elections are less about the man, than they are about the policy which affects you and I on a day to day basis. If you have a nice living and have your nest egg, you can afford to vote for Hillary Clinton. If you are one of the 95 million Americans not in the work force you need a change and you need it with the fierce urgency of now.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet the evidence, not simply conjecture or wishful thinking, but evidence, is quite literally at your fingertips, that the Clinton’s are a criminal enterprise who are not fit to serve.

Several concerns about the Clinton’s are worth mentioning one last time. As Secretary of State she signed off on giving uranium to the Russians after they gave her foundation money. In fact Hillary signed off on weapons deals for 18 countries, but only after they donated to the Clinton Foundation….and in turn, the Clinton Foundation pays the Clinton’s hundreds of thousands of dollars per speech at events.

The weapons deals include a million dollar donation to the Clinton Foundation from Qatar, who her own State Department criticized as a serial human rights abuser. How much blood will be spilled as a result of all of these weapons deals? The very thought of it is simply horrifying.

Ask yourself aloud, how it is that the Clinton’s became $131,000,000 richer in a single term as Secretary of State?

Democrat pundits on television will tell you “the email thing is BS.” Quite the contrary it is deadly serious and here is why.

In spite of the fact that we are literally talking about hundreds of thousands of violations of the Federal Records Act. We are also talking about, with her mishandling of classified material, at hundreds of violations of the Espionage Act.

Hillary Clinton revealed classified to above Top Secret places, persons and methodology in her emails and it is likely that a CIA asset in Iran was executed as a result.

Press reports tell us that her illegal private server was hacked at least five times. That could mean that foreign countries have blackmail material on the possible next President of these United States.

Lastly, as a result of her own leaked campaign emails, it was revealed that CNN somehow provided debate questions to Hillary in advance during her primary battle with Bernie Sanders. Let that be the last straw that closes the book on the Clinton political legacy.

Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Changes Endorsement for Trump. Cites Hillary Campaign Hiring of Violent Thugs (video)

Famed Dilbert creator Scott Adams changes his endorsement from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump:

Hillary’s campaign and the DNC paid thugs to go to Trump events, start violence and then say that they supported Bernie Sanders. The planning of it all was captured on video.

In the video you see top DNC operatives like Scott Foval, Deputy Director of People for the American Way, a DNC think tank, and Bob Creamer, husband of Congressman Jan Schakowsky (D-ILL). Bob Creamer visited the White House 339 times and is all over the Clinton Campaign emails revealed by WikiLeaks. Said emails also reveal how the violence was planned.

How the Obama DoJ Thwarted the FBI Investigation of Hillary’s Crimes

peter-kadzik-gave-hillary-a-heads-up

I have a question for you. Keeping in mind ethics rules and laws about conflicts of interest:

1 – What if a certain lawyer who represented largest tax cheat in history, billionaire Marc Rich, saw to it that the Clintons were given large contributions in exchange for giving Rich a pardon on Bill Clinton’s last day in office?

2 – What if that same lawyer represented and defended John Podesta, who was Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff, and is also Hillary’s campaign chairman and kept him out of jail when he was investigated for crimes? Podesta even bragged about how said lawyer saved him from prison. Indeed what if said lawyer became one of John Podesta’s closest friends?

3 – What if that same lawyer, was then appointed Assistant Attorney General of the United States?

4 – What if this same lawyer was put in charge of investigating the illegal IRS targeting of conservative groups and after evidence destroyed, and subpoenas violated, and the IRS top brass plead the 5th, simply decided that no one did anything wrong?

5 – What if the same lawyer, used his position to collude with the Clintons on investigations by  Congress and the State Department Inspector General?

6 – What if that same lawyer was assigned to oversee the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton and then used his position to deny the FBI access to a Grand Jury?

7 – What if this same lawyer, after the FBI reopened the investigation because of Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin hiding aforementioned illegal emails on their home computer under a folder marked “Life Insurance,” wrote a letter to Democrats in Congress assuring them that it would be “over” quickly and efficiently?

That one lawyer is Peter Kadzik and if you ask any Democrat they are certain to tell you that all of this was just a mere coincidence. What do you think?

Germany: New Refugees Commit Nearly 24,000 Crimes Per Month.

refugees-riot-in-german-immigration-center1

To put it in perspective Germany is only half the size of Texas.

We are back to the UK papers because American news would not dare to report this.

UK Daily Mail:

Migrants in Germany have committed 142,500 crimes in just six months, police figures have revealed

This was the equivalent of 780 crimes a day – an increase of nearly 40 percent over 2015, according to data from Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office

It comes as German chancellor Angela Merkel remains under pressure over her open-door policy on immigration amid concerns over how to integrate 900,000 newcomers who arrived last year.

According to the Gatestone Institute, an international policy council, police in some parts of the country fear they are being stretched to the limit amid climbing crime figures.

Their report said: ‘During the first six months of 2016, migrants committed 142,500 crimes, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. This is equivalent to 780 crimes committed by migrants every day, an increase of nearly 40 per cent over 2015. The data includes only those crimes in which a suspect has been caught.

‘Migrant crime statistics for all of 2016, when they become available, are likely to show a significant increase over the 2015 numbers. One reason for this is that thousands of migrants who entered the country as ‘asylum seekers’ or ‘refugees’ have gone missing.’

 

Summary of FBI Report on Hillary Clinton’s Illegal Email Servers via Sharyl Attkisson

After reading this is it reasonable to say that there was no intent, no cover-up and no attempt to obstruct justice? Much of this was destroyed AFTER it was under subpoena.

Sharyl Attkisson is retired veteran journalist from CBS News:

The Takeaways. The Players. The Timeline.

The Takeaways

The FBI could not review all of the Hillary Clinton emails under investigation because:

  • The Clintons’ Apple personal server used for Hillary Clinton work email could not be located for the FBI to examine.
  • An Apple MacBook laptop and thumb drive that contained Hillary Clinton email archives were lost, and the FBI couldn’t examine them.
  • 2 BlackBerry devices provided to FBI didn’t have their SIM or SD data cards.
  • 13 Hillary Clinton personal mobile devices were lost, discarded or destroyed. Therefore, the FBI couldn’t examine them.
  • Various server backups were deleted over time, so the FBI couldn’t examine them.
  • After State Dept. notified Hillary Clinton her records would be sought by House Benghazi Committee, copies of her email on the laptops of her attorneys Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were wiped with BleachBit, and the FBI couldn’t review them.
  • After her emails were subpoenaed, Hillary Clinton’s email archive was also permanently deleted from her then-server “PRN” with BleachBit, and the FBI couldn’t review it.
  • Also after the subpoena, backups of the PRN server were manually deleted.

Even though the FBI did not have a complete record of Hillary Clinton’s emails on three unclassified personal servers, it found:

  • 2,093 emails State Dept. currently classifies as Confidential or Secret. (State Dept. did not address what their classification was at the time they were sent.)
  • 193 emails (81 separate email conversations) that were classified at the time they were sent, ranging from “Confidential” to “Top Secret/Special Access Program.”
  • 68 of the 81 email chains remain classified today.
  • 8 were Top Secret.
  • 37 were Secret.
  • 36 were Confidential.
  • 7 were Special Access Program.
  • 3 were Sensitive Compartmentalized Information.
  • 36 were Not Releasing to Foreign Governments.
  • 2 were Releasable Only to Five Allied Partners.
  • 12 of the suspect email chains were not provided by Hillary’s attorneys. The FBI found them other ways.
  • The email chains contained classified information from 5 other agencies: CIA, DOD, FBI, NGA and NSA.Read more HERE.

FBI: No link between Trump and Russia

In short, Hillary likely knew better.

We also know from emails released by WikiLeaks that the Clinton campaign plot to smear Trump with the Russian ties allegation went as far back as April.

The source on the FBI investigation is the New York Times who has sided with Hillary Clinton unreservedly.

The Hill:

Amid multiple reports drawing different connections between Donald Trump‘s campaign and Russia Monday night, The New York Times reported that FBI officials’ investigations of the GOP presidential nominee have yet to confirm any ties.

FBI officials said their investigations have yet to find a connection between the GOP presidential nominee and Russia.

The bureau has been investigating the Russian government’s role in the U.S. presidential election. But the FBI believes that the country was likely trying to disrupt the overall race and not trying boost Trump’s chance of getting elected.

CNN & Washington Post asked Democrat Party to write negative talking points to use against Trump and Cruz.

We have been cataloging the collusion between many dozens of members of the elite media with the Clinton Campaign, including reporters submitting their work for approval, CNN leaking debate questions to Hillary in advance, debate moderators coordinating with the Clinton campaign and the list goes on, but this one maybe the biggest one of all as the collusion goes on for some time as revealed by DNC emails made public by WikiLeaks.

Notice that the UK Daily Mail is reporting this in a big way, but the American elite media is near mum.

UK Daily Mail:

uk-daily-mail-cnn-washpo-collusion-with-dnc

Among the batch of 8,263 emails released on Sunday night, one shows that staff working for the network hosts asked DNC staffers what questions they should put to the Republican candidate.

They also asked for advice when it came to an appearance from former candidate, Ted Cruz.

An email dated April 28 entitled ‘Cruz on CNN’ reads ‘CNN is looking for questions. Please send some topical/interesting ones.’

That email was sent from DNC research director Lauren Dillon to other officials and staffers.

Days before that, on April 25 she asked for questions from officials and staffers for an interview that CNN’s Wolf Blitzer would be conducting with Trump.

Thank you UK Daily Mail.

Hillary’s top IT official pleads the 5th Amendment 90 times….

..but there is nothing to see here. Move on.

CNS News:

The former top IT official to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, pleaded the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination – 90 times —  in a federal court-ordered deposition on Oct. 24.

John Bentel, the former Director of Information Resource Management of the Executive Secretariat, the office that handles information technology for the Office of the Secretary of State, was ordered by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to answer questions under oath to the lawyers at the government watchdog group Judicial Watch.

In his Aug. 19 order, Judge Sullivan wrote, “The Court is persuaded that Mr. Bentel should be deposed because the record in this case appears to contradict his sworn testimony before the [House Select] Benghazi Committee…. Specifically, Mr. Bentel testified that he was not aware that Secretary Clinton’s email account was housed on a private server until media reports in 2015…. However, several emails indicate Mr. Bentel knew about the private server as early as 2009.”

During his deposition on Monday, Bentel was asked such questions as whether Hillary Clinton was “paying his legal fees, offered him employment, or other financial incentives,” said Judicial Watch in a press release. There were over 90 questions and Bentel answered, “On advice from my legal counsel, I decline to answer the question and I invoke my Fifth Amendment rights.”

 

Just how Top Secret was the data Hillary mishandled? Inspector General for the Director of National Intelligence explains (video)

Hillary put above Top Secret information on her illegal private server that was hacked multiple times.

Charles McCullough, the Deputy Inspector General at Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) testified that the emails were TOO TOP SECRET even for Congress to see. The Deputy Inspector General didn’t even have the security clearance to see those emails. He couldn’t even tell Congress the name of the agency that the emails came from.

Watch the video:

Retired DIA and State Department career employee Greg Davis posted on his Facebook page:

Here’s a conundrum.

Hillary’s “negligence” allowed the dissemination of the most sensitive Intelligence material — i.e., Sources and Methods of Human Intelligence, Signals Intelligence, Imagery Intelligence, and Electronic Intelligence to an unlimited number of unidentified, uncleared individuals and groups — including our enemies — around the world. By now, that would include thousands of unauthorized recipients.
The Intelligence information falls into a dual category;

1) It is ORCON [Originator Controlled] meaning the parent agency solely determines who should have access on a NEED TO KNOW basis; And

2) It is SCI [Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence] which is accessible to a very limited audience.

This is Intelligence information So Sensitive that not even staff members of THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE were aware of its existence, much less its content.

But, now, it is in the hands of thousands of unauthorized people, and the disclosure of the Sources and Methods of this Intelligence puts both Intelligence programs AND personnel at risk.

The conundrum is that the Committee members who have to pass judgment on Hillary’s criminal activity can’t be cleared for access to this information in the tim available — even though the SCI/ORCON material is now ostensibly in the Public Domain.

This breach by Hillary is perhaps the most serious in the history of US national security.

Clinton Campaign Lawyer told Hillary not to run. Party Suicide. Who told Hillary to use illegal email server should be drawn & quartered!

In a near panicked tone emails between top Hillary campaign staffers such as campaign chair John Podesta, domestic policy adviser Neera Tanden and campaign attorney Cheryl Mills show just how concerned they were about Hillary’s illegal activities.

They go on to day that who ever told Hillary she could use a private server should be drawn & quartered, that this is party suicide and maybe Cheryl Mills was right in saying that Hillary should not run for president. John Podesta responds with, “lets see what the polls say”…maybe they can get away with it.

Clinton emails show in March 2015 campaign knew Hillary’s secret email server violated federal law, knew Obama was using it. “Dump those emails!”

The emails linked below are from Hillary’s campaign staff from March 2, 2015 to March 8, 2015, when the campaign first became aware that the press corps knew of Hillary’s secret server.

The emails reveal that the staff knew of the illegal server and so did her lawyers. They show that President Obama did not learn of the server in “news accounts” as he claimed, but rather, as we wrote back in September, he was using it.

Emails even show the staff mentioning the Federal Records Act. In one email Hillary’s campaign chair John Podesta says to campaign attorney Cheryl Mills, “we are going to have to dump all those emails so better to do so sooner than later.”

And FBI Director James Comey said that they had no intent to break the law….Really?

UPDATE –  UPI News reports that Obama claimed Executive Privilege in stopping the release of some of the emails on Hillary’s illegal private server. Executive Privilege means that the Presidents communications with underlings can be kept from the public. This is a public admission that Obama was using Hillary’s email server himself.

Flashback: KKK leader endorsed Hillary. Donated $20k. (video)

Obama and Hillary have brought up the KKK this week in an act of desperation. We don’t even bother talking about the KKK here for the simple reason that they have next to no membership and are effectively irrelevant. Let us explain.

Number of people who believe they have been abducted by space aliens – 300,000

Number of people in the Jedi religion – 175,000

Number of people in the Flat Earth Society – 3,500

Number of people in the KKK – less than 3,000.

That said, since the Democrats are bringing up the KKK again it is important to point out that the Klan has always been, and still claims to this day, to be a Democratic Party organization as their leader Will Quig states in the video below.

KKK leader Will Quigg has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president multiple times on video saying he likes her because of her “hidden agenda”. He donated $20,000 to her campaign.

Youtube, in an attempt to censor the story, has turned off sharing of the video, but you can watch in HERE, but in order to see it you have to load the link manually.

Here is another copy of the video:

Clinton Campaign email shows top staff aware Hillary signed off on foreign arms deals in exchange for CGI donations

Hillary, as Secretary of State, sold American uranium to the Russians and signed off on weapons deals to foreign countries, but only after they donated money to the Clinton Foundation (CGI). And even though this story has been reported in the NYT, Washington Post, AP, ABC, and a host of others, the elite media simply reported it and dropped it, thus most people are simply unaware of it.

The United States should not be for sale. Weapons for bribes. How much worse can it get? Even the very left wing Mother Jones reported this story.

Mother Jones:

Hillary Clinton Oversaw US Arms Deals to Clinton Foundation Donors. An investigation finds that countries that gave to the foundation saw an increase in State Department-approved arms sales.

Now we know from Clinton Campaign emails that Hillary’s top staff and her marketing team were well aware of this corruption and discussed how to make it go away. Read the email for yourself HERE.

Associated Press Asks Clinton Campaign If They Should Steer Away From Email Investigation Story

Thanks to WikiLeaks we have dozens of emails showing reporters willing to do the bidding of the campaign, edit their stories, change quotes and we now know that debate moderators gave Clinton debate questions in advance. This is just the latest example:

Survey Shows Trump Voters Have More Political Knowledge

Daily Wire:

A new survey provides evidence that supporters of Donald Trump tend to be more knowledgeable than Hillary Clinton supporters.

The survey, conducted by Conquest Communications Group and published by Just Facts, asked respondents 23 questions regarding education, taxes, spending, national debt, global warming, pollution, energy, hunger, Social Security and health care. Overall, the success rate for Trump supporters in correctly answering the questions was 43 percent, compared to only 31 percent for Clinton supporters.

Just Facts:

In total, the rates at which voters gave the correct answers varied from a high of 43% for Trump voters to a low of 31% for Clinton voters:

  • 43% for Trump voters.
  • 37% for 35 to 64 year olds.
  • 37% for males.
  • 35% for undecided voters.
  • 34% for females.
  • 34% for 65+ year olds.
  • 31% for Clinton voters.

Hell Freezes Over: MSNBC Panel Blasts “Clinton Inc.” Corruption & Media Cover Up (video)

You ask someone to watch Fox News saying these things and a Democrat will just laugh it off and refuse to even look at the evidence.

This is the full MSNBC panel, including Mika Brzezinski, calling out the “Clinton Empire” and “Clinton Inc.” for enriching themselves with their “sleazy” relationships to Wall Street and banks.

The entire panel calls out the Clinton’s for millions in pay to play, corruption, and using government power to enrich themselves. The panel also blasts the Clinton’s for literally bragging about it while most of the elite media stays mum.

Watch for yourself:

Hillary’s Top Staff on Her Illegal Email Server, “There Is Just No Good Answer”

Democrats say that this email thing is “just BS” and here is why.

In spite of the fact that we are literally talking about hundreds of thousands of violations of the Federal Records Act. We are also talking about, with her mishandling of classified material, at least hundreds of violations of the Espionage Act.

Hillary revealed classified places, persons and methodology in her emails and it is likely that one CIA asset in Iran was executed as a result. People do not plead the 5th Amendment in mass over “just BS.”

We also know that her server was hacked at least 5 times. That could mean that foreign countries have blackmail material on the possible next President of these United States.

This email exchange happens shortly after the New York Times reported that she had an illegal email server with possible classified information.

“There is just no good answer,” Clinton aide Philippe Reines tells campaign chair John Podesta in a panicked mail from March 2015 in which they discuss Clinton’s reasoning for using a private email server. Also included in the email chain is her staff lawyer Cheryl Mills and her communications director Jennifer Palmieri.

James Comey said in July that they had no intent to do wrong, this sets the truth to that lie.

Government electronic surveillance up 500 percent in D.C.-area. Docs reveal AT&T spying on Americans for profit.

branco-elite-media-hillary-pac

Is this politically motivated surveillance like was done to James Rosen, Sharyl Attkisson, or the AP?  Is it because we have millions of unvetted immigrants both legal and illegal that we need a surveillance state to at least try to keep us safe? Or have the law schools, infected with radicalized leftists, simply produced judges and lawyers who have no regard for the 4th Amendment or the Constitution as Justice Scalia said?

Whatever the reason is, Democrats sure were critical of government surveillance while Bush was president, so naturally they increased it illegally and exponentially while Obama was president, as revealed by Ed Snowden.

Washington Post:

In Northern Virginia, electronic-surveillance requests increased 500 percent in the past five years, from 305 in 2011 to a pace set to pass 1,800 this year.

Only one of the total 4,113 applications in those five years had been unsealed as of late July, according to information from the Alexandria division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, which covers northern Virginia. Kaufman’s group obtained the Northern Virginia data in July and shared it with The Washington Post.

The federal court for the District of Columbia had 235 requests in 2012, made by the local U.S. attorney’s office. By 2013, requests in the District had climbed 240 percent, to about 564, according to information released by the court’s chief judge and clerk.

Three of the 235 applications from 2012 have been unsealed.

AT&T spying on Americans for profit…

Daily Beast:

Project Hemisphere.

Hemisphere is a secretive program run by AT&T that searches trillions of call records and analyzes cellular data to determine where a target is located, with whom he speaks, and potentially why.

“Merritt was in a position to access the cellular telephone tower northeast of the McStay family gravesite on February 6th, 2010, two days after the family disappeared,” an affidavit for his girlfriend’s call records reports Hemisphere finding (PDF). Merritt was arrested almost a year to the date after the McStay family’s remains were discovered, and is awaiting trial for the murders.

In 2013, Hemisphere was revealed by The New York Times and described only within a Powerpoint presentation made by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The Times described it as a “partnership” between AT&T and the U.S. government; the Justice Department said it was an essential, and prudently deployed, counter-narcotics tool.

However, AT&T’s own documentation—reported here by The Daily Beast for the first time—shows Hemisphere was used far beyond the war on drugs to include everything from investigations of homicide to Medicaid fraud.

Hemisphere isn’t a “partnership” but rather a product AT&T developed, marketed, and sold at a cost of millions of dollars per year to taxpayers. No warrant is required to make use of the company’s massive trove of data, according to AT&T documents, only a promise from law enforcement to not disclose Hemisphere if an investigation using it becomes public.

While telecommunications companies are legally obligated to hand over records, AT&T appears to have gone much further to make the enterprise profitable, according to ACLU technology policy analyst Christopher Soghoian.

Elite Media Bashing Trump: Coverage 91% Negative. Hillary Almost Ignored.

Via the Media Research Center:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has received significantly more broadcast network news coverage than his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, but nearly all of that coverage (91%) has been hostile, according to a new study by the Media Research Center (MRC).

In addition, the networks spent far more airtime focusing on the personal controversies involving Trump (440 minutes) than about similar controversies involving Clinton (185 minutes). Donald Trump’s treatment of women was given 102 minutes of evening news airtime, more than that allocated to discussing Clinton’s e-mail scandal (53 minutes) and the Clinton Foundation pay-for-play scandals (40 minutes) combined.

For this study, the MRC analyzed all 588 evening news stories that either discussed or mentioned the presidential campaign on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts from July 29 through October 20 (including weekends).

Trolling, Flogging & Disinformation: Clinton Campaign Doc Gives Instructions to Army of Social Media Trolls

Most people have no idea that politicians, PR firms and corporations pay people to troll the internet. To counter comment those who speak the truth, to put out lies and disinformation, or to post vulgarities in comments to fatigue people into no longer commenting. There is software allowing a single person top control a thousand fake social media accounts. Wikipedia and WebMD are controlled by PR firms as their “official editors” have been caught taking money under the table many times.

Eventually this gave rise to companies who try to undo this damage and we see their commercials of TV. They will try to counter bad publicity about you by generating new publicity that will be optimized by SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so when people search they will see the good news you paid for right on top.

Here we have a document which instructs the campaign’s social media staff to spam Reddit conversation groups with “trolling, flogging, and disinformation”:

Australia: Gun Crime Way Up After Gun Bans

The left always says that taking away your ability to defend yourself withe effective means is about YOUR safety and about stopping crime. How many crimes have been committed with YOUR guns? Exactly. It is like trying to stop drunk driving by taking cars away from people who don’t drink. Yet, some people are just plain foolish enough and historically ignorant enough to believe such Orwellian propaganda.

Australia elected a leftist government and it happened. In the name of “climate change” the Australian economy was trashed and the government confiscated most guns from civilians who never harmed anyone.

The result:

On Friday, the government of gun-controlled Australia admitted that hundreds of thousands of “illegal firearms” remain in criminal possession and launched a new amnesty in hopes of persuading said criminals to turn over the weapons.

In September, Breitbart News reported that Melbourne, Australia, had a gun problem; that they had witnessed more than one shooting a week on average since January 2015.

Moreover, The Age reported:

  • Known criminals were caught with firearms 755 times [in 2015], compared to 143 times in 2011
  • Criminals are using gunshot wounds to the arms and legs as warnings to pay debts
  • Assault rifles and handguns are being smuggled into Australia via shipments of electronics and metal parts

Now the government of Australia is admitting that hundreds of thousands of “illegal guns”–i.e., “illicit firearms”–are in the hands of criminals some 20 years after Australia’s gun ban was implemented. And Reuters reports an amnesty will be put in place in 2017 where those in possession of said weapons can turn them in with no questions asked.

Yes indeed, they will beg the criminals to hand over their guns……

Hillary Clinton Armed Jihadist Groups to Undermine Secular Middle East Governments (video)

On October 25th 2012 this very writer made a lengthy case that the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton at the State Department, were deliberately undermining Middle East peace by ousting secular governments who wanted peace with Israel and replacing such governments with Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda, yes, the same people who hit us on 9/11.

This very scenario did indeed come about with secular governments in Egypt and Libya being replaced with Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda while the ousting of the secular Syrian government was underway.

The Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt immediately threatened war with Israel and started exterminating Christians and other minorities.  President Obama’s response to the new Muslim Brotherhood government was to sell them F-16 fighter planes, in this writer’s opinion and also quite obviously, to use against Israel.

Fortunately the Egyptian military, which is largely secular, trained in the United States, and knows very well that war with Israel is hopeless if not suicidal, overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood government, took power, and worked to stop the persecution of said minorities. President Obama’s “punishment” was to demand that the Muslim Brotherhood government be restored and he halted the sale of the fighter planes.

Fast forward to Benghazi, Libya where four Americans were killed and dozens injured, secret documents in both our consulate and CIA annex were exposed, national security compromised. It was all avoidable.

We know that in spite of the fact that they asked for better security hundreds of times, Hillary  stripped their security from them and Hillary actually hired an offshoot of Al-Qaeda to provide security for our consulate.

There is evidence to show that the State Department was using the facility to send weapons to Muslim Brotherhood and pre-ISIS Islamic radicals. The fewer patriotic Americans on site who would leak such idiocy if they found out about it the better, hence most of the American security was stripped from them…and now they are dead.

One of the weapons dealers the State Department used was Marc Turi. After they used him and after things went bad as they did in Benghazi, the Obama Administration decided to “tidy up” and moved to prosecute Turi and accuse him of dealing weapons to terrorists, even though he was doing so on orders from the United States Government, in particular, Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

So in order to fight back, Turi, who apparently kept meticulous records and evidence, threatened to expose Hillary’s role in all of this highly illegal activity. The Department of Justice then petitioned the Court to drop all charges against Mr. Turi and made it clear that the petition to the court was for political reasons.

Watch the video carefully.
