Clinton Cash Info & Documentary



John R. Houk
© July 31, 2016

Clinton Cash is a book by Peter Schweizer that exposes the Clinton family’s nefarious money past which includes donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign donors for political influence while Secretary of State and a potential future of POTUS Hillary.

Clinton Cash has its own website devoted to sales and news stories related to Clinton Cash scandals and nefarious deals. Here is an intro excerpt from that webpage:

In 2000, Bill and Hillary Clinton owed millions of dollars in legal debt. Since then, they’ve earned over $130 million. Where did the money come from?

n his New York Times bestselling books Extortion and Throw Them All Out, Schweizer detailed patterns of official corruption in Washington that led to congressional resignations and new ethics laws.

In Clinton Cash, he follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune, their “close personal friends”, the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government.

Schweizer reveals the Clinton’s troubling dealings in Kazakhstan, Colombia, Haiti, and other places at the “wild west” fringe of the global economy. In this blockbuster exposé, Schweizer merely presents the troubling facts he’s uncovered. Meticulously researched and scrupulously sourced, filled with headline-making revelations, Clinton Cash raises serious questions of judgment, of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests, and ultimately, of fitness for high public office.

In order to help in spreading the word about Crooked Hillary and hubby Slick Willy purchase the book. Below is the little over an hour documentary of Clinton Cash.

Clinton Cash, is a feature documentary based on the Peter Schweizer book that the New York Times hailed as “The most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.”

Clinton Cash investigates how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke” after leaving the White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with over $2 billion in donations to their foundation. This wealth was accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors.

DNC Leftists Shout ‘No More War’

When the DNC Leftists were shouting "No more war" to Leon Panetta & a U.S. General vainly trying to inspire Patriotism among the Dems, this Reagan video of peace through strength should have been shown.

No arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. -Ronald Reagan

Hello,

I am Caleb Andrew, the owner on the Reagan Republicans community. You see here we believe that America is and always will be the best nation on Earth. However it is in danger, our economy is weak, our infrastructure is crumbling, our influence on the world is deteriorating, and our moral values are becoming inevitably unimportant. However President Ronald Reagan was an optimistic man who loved his God and country and the American people are strong willed and courageous, we have the ability and the will to fix our country and rebuild the American Dream.

"Now let's set the record straight. There's no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace—and you can have it in the next second—surrender.

Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face—that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand—the ultimatum. And what then—when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he'd rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us.

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin—just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits—not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

From #NeverTrump to #NeverClinton



Here is a post that I pray provokes the sting of reality to Conservatives that are taking the Never Trump stand. If you enjoyed the last 7 ½ years Obama’s Leftist fundamental transformation of America, by all means write-in your favorite Conservative, vote for a Third Party or don’t vote at all. Following the Never Trump path will ensure the election of Obama’s third term vicariously through Crooked Hillary.

Honestly answering Mark Alexander’s check list of “Who is more likely to ”, should shake a Never Trumper out of their righteous indignation and principled hubris over Donald Trump’s perceived lack of integrity and at least give him a shot to keep at least some of his promises.

If the Donald screws up, how bad could it be compared to the continued dilution of America’s moral fiber and divested Liberty with another four to eight years of a Leftist POTUS?

From #NeverTrump to #NeverClinton
Vote for the Supreme Court! Choosing not to vote for the "lesser of two evils" is a vote for the greater of those evils.

July 27, 2016

“In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.” —John Adams (1797)




(Aggravation Alert: I have received a considerable number of objections from fellow Patriots this year complaining either that my analysis of Donald Trump was too hard or too soft. This column is directed at those who believe either one to be true — the #NeverClinton and #NeverTrump folks who plan to abstain or vote for a third-party candidate.)

It’s no small irony that the Socialist Democratic Party is hosting its confab in Philadelphia this week, the cradle of Liberty and Rule of Law.

On the opening night, Bernie Sanders, the candidate who was narrowly defeated by Clinton thanks to hacked DNC emails indicating they rigged the primary, offered this assessment of the last eight years: “Together, my friends, we have begun a political revolution to transform America, and that revolution — our revolution — continues.”

If that sounds familiar, it should. That “political revolution to transform America” would be the fulfillment of Obama’s 2008 campaign promise of “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

On the other hand, Republicans should be debating the re-election of Mitt Romney this year, but we aren’t. Here’s why.

Without debating Romney’s merits all over again, the reason that the contest this year is not between Romney/Ryan and Clinton/Kaine is because millions of “faith and values” voters chose to sit it out in 2012. Weeks before the 2012 election, I had a very intelligent young Christian woman ask a question far too typical of evangelicals: “Can you really vote for a Mormon?”

Of course, in addition to those evangelicals, there were also millions of principled conservatives who didn’t cast their ballots in 2012, protesting that Romney was a centrist, moderate, Northeastern elitist.

So how did that work out?

Four more years of Barack Obama’s colossal failures in both domestic and foreign policy.

Let’s review.

Obama’s domestic policies have been defined by his litany of lies and legacy of scandals, most notably the failure of his so-called “economic recovery” plan; his long list of ObamaCare lies; his IRS Enemies List targeting conservatives; his “Fast and Furious” gun control ploy; the VA death panels cover-up; the immigration crisis on our southern border, and the long-overdue resignation of his corrupt attorney general, Eric Holder.

The Obama-Clinton foreign policy malfeasance is unparalleled in American history, including the Benghazi cover-up ahead of the 2012 election; the “Russian Spring” in Crimea; the hollow “Red Line” in the Syrian sand; the Middle East meltdown in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Jordan and Gaza; the disintegration of Iraq; the dramatic resurgence of al-Qa'ida; the rise of the Islamic State; and the re-emergence of Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, which is now metastasizing into Western Europe and North America.

All that being the case, once again, millions of conservatives are reluctant to vote because the choices are the assurance of extending Obama’s disgraceful legacy for four more years under a Clinton regime or the prospect that Donald Trump will prove to be the “lesser of two evils” come January 2017.

For value and principle conservatives wrestling with whether to vote for Trump or not at all, political philosophers and moral theologians have written for generations about the “incommensurability in values,” or, in common parlance, choosing between the lesser of two evils.

Some of my conservative friends subscribe to the observation of 19th century British theologian Charles Spurgeon, who wrote, “Of two evils, choose neither.” But Spurgeon’s words, as related to evil actions, are taken out of context in reference to civic duty. Of such duties, Spurgeon said, “I would not, however, say despise the privilege which you have as citizens.”

The question of voting for Trump is no quandary for me.


While I understand well the nature of presidential character, and believe both Clinton and Trump fall substantially short of that character, I also understand that the outcome of the November election will not only determine our president for at least the next four years, but also the composition of the Supreme Court for at least the next quarter-century. Think about that before you decide to stay home this year or to cast a “protest vote” for a third-party candidate.

On this point, I would state emphatically that those who choose to sit this election out or “choose neither” are making a choice. In fact, I would argue that handing this election to Hillary Clinton is far more evil than choosing the lesser of the two. If you can’t vote for Trump, then at least vote against Clinton. If you can’t vote for Trump, then at least vote for the Supreme Court. And make no mistake: A vote this year for a third-party candidate in any state where the Clinton v Trump contest is close constitutes a vote for Clinton and a third term for Obama. Period.

After the conservative congressional advances across the nation in 2010 and 2014, despite the needless presidential loss in 2012, throwing this year’s contest to Clinton would be disastrous.

Conservative political analyst Dennis Prager wrote a letter “To My Conservative #NeverTrump Friends,” in which he makes the case for supporting Trump:

“The ‘conscience’ argument that one can sleep with a clear conscience by not voting for Trump [asserts] that your conscience is clear after making it possible for Clinton to win. In the 2016 presidential race, I am not interested in moral purity. I am interested in defeating the left and its party, the Democratic Party. The notion that we can live with another four years of a Democratic president is, forgive me, mind-boggling. To that end multiple additional leftists on the Supreme Court, a Republican presidential victory in 2020 would mean nothing. Left-wing judges pass so many left-wing laws that they render those who control Congress, and even the White House, almost irrelevant. I just don’t understand how anyone who understands the threat the left and the Democrats pose on America will refuse to vote for the only person who can stop them.”

(Notably, Prager argues that Trump’s convention speech was not “dark enough.”)

Last week, Donald Trump delivered his GOP convention acceptance speech, outlining in the broadest terms what his objectives would be if elected president.
This week, Hillary Clinton will conclude the DNC convention with a similar speech, promising mostly the antithesis of the Trump platform. And it is unlikely that any of her adoring media will highlight her extensive record of incompetence and lawlessness.




In advance of Clinton’s diatribe, we compiled a list of questions for consideration by those who are not yet committed to vote for Trump. Our editors have expanded that list to include the following questions:

Who will achieve more with Republicans in Congress?

Who will nominate judges for the federal bench and Supreme Court who will uphold Rule of Law?

Who is more likely to formulate and enforce stronger foreign policy in an effort to restore America’s standing in the world?

Who is more likely to seek to begin rebuilding America’s military might?

Who is more likely to implement policies to protect America and the West from catastrophic terrorist attacks?

Who is more likely to clearly identify the greatest ideological threat to the West as “Islamic extremism”?

Who is more likely to treat our nation’s military personnel and veterans with the dignity and respect they have earned?

Who is more likely to enforce immigration laws and protect American borders?

Who is more likely to support the Second Amendment?

Who is more likely to reduce taxes?

Who is more likely to balance a budget?

Who is more likely to address our ruinous national debt?

Who is more likely to be a better communicator of free market principles?

Who is more likely to reduce oppressive central government regulations?

Who is more likely to repeal ObamaCare and implement market solutions for health care?

Who is more likely to repeal the onerous Dodd-Frank regulations?

Who has more experience creating and protecting American jobs?

Who is more likely to promote Americanism rather than globalism?

Who is more likely to flex American muscle when dealing with foreign tyrants?

Who is more likely to aggressively pursue energy exploration?

Who is more likely to re-write trade agreements that undermine the U.S. economy?

Who is more likely to populate their administration with free enterprise advocates?

Who is more likely to advocate for retention of Republican majorities in the House and Senate?

Who is more likely to resist the influence of Wall Street?

Who is more likely to reject Obama’s unconstitutional executive overreach?

Who is more likely to denounce Black Lives Matter and other Democrat Party fronts seeking to disunite America?

I’m sure you can add to this list, and I’m equally sure that Trump will fare better across the board than Clinton.

In her convention remarks, Michelle Obama declared, “This election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.” Indeed it is, and well into the next generation. Will our children and their children fare better with leadership from Democrats on the Left or Republicans on the Right?

So to my fellow conservatives who don’t plan to vote in 2016, I ask the following: What will our nation look like in 2020? How about 2030?

I ask this question not only as a citizen and fellow Patriot, but also as one who, like many other Patriots, has family blood on the line in this election. As the father of a young Marine who is bound by oath to “Support and Defend” our Constitution, I am, like so many of you, deeply concerned about who will be our next commander in chief.

The last seven years have been very demoralizing for those of us who are in the trenches every day advocating for Liberty. But take heart. While Liberty is eternal, the contest to maintain its beacon of freedom is also eternal, and sitting this election out or voting for a third-party candidate in a closely contested state only makes that contest more difficult.

Finally, the Demos are very divided. Let’s finish them off. Hillary Clinton is a deeply flawed status quo candidate in an election year for change. My advice to anyone who hasn’t yet committed to vote for Trump and the Supreme Court, or at least vote against Clinton: Embrace the suck. Just do it, and convince everyone you know to do the same.

(Read our analysis of Hillary Clinton’s DNC convention diatribe, and her plans to take our nation to a much darker place.

Dems Deceive



John R. Houk
© July 28, 2016

If you were foolish enough to tune into the Democratic National Convention (DNC) you will noticed the Party faithful spinning lies by twisting the words of Donald Trump to provide the illusion the GOP candidate said something he did not. Then Dem Party speaker after speaker took the spun lies to deride Donald Trump. Now I realize Trump is very far away from the perfect Conservative candidate; nevertheless, to create a lie then turn around and have the hubris to lie about how grand Crooked Hillary is – well is galling!

Obama’s FBI gave her a pass in having an unsecured private server. In which she dispersed Classified information which included lying that she never worked with Classified emails because of the moronic stipulation that nothing was Classified at the time. Friends, Democrats and Leftists – this was felonious behavior! Others have been prosecuted and found guilty in doing much less.

BUT WAIT! The FBI is still investigating Crooked Hillary on the actions of the Clinton Foundation receiving MILLIONS of dollars from Muslim nations in which Radical (as defined by the PC crowd) Islam is a part of official policy just before and while she was Secretary of State. Unfortunately, though, who believes the FBI or the Justice Department will ever prosecute Crooked Hillary and Slick Willy for any kind of felonious crime while Barack Hussein Obama is President of the United States?

So Hillary is crooked but praised by the Dems and the Left-oriented Mainstream Media (MSM). AND I have heard nothing but praise for Hillary’s VP choice for running mate (including GOP Senators and Congressmen). It seems to be axiomatic that the Dems are guilty of lying, manipulation and deception because the VP selection in Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia also follows the Dem crookedness.

An ACT for America email alert is warning their readers that Tim Kaine has extensive connections to Muslim Brotherhood (MB) front organizations in America, If you are reading this and only have your eyes and ears to the MSM you may not realize that anything to do with the MB means what the PC crowd calls Radical Islam. And Radical Islam’s global agenda to establish a transnational Caliphate to rule the world under Islamic Supremacism. That means Islamic terrorism and war against the West – the United States of America in particular.

This is the shame of the Democratic Party, Crooked Hillary and Senator Tim Kaine.

Clinton VP Pick Tim Kaine's Islamist Ties

Hillary Clinton has chosen Virginia Senator Tim Kaine as her VP, but his suspicious history of Islamic ties has raised some red flags. Kaine has a background in funding Islamic organizations, has appointed a Hamas sympathizer as a Muslim Brotherhood front leader, and even spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect.

Can we really trust this kind of “leadership” in our White House?  The upcoming elections may be the most important in our nation’s history.  We urge you to get educated and think carefully about who is best to protect our nation and its democratic freedoms in the years ahead.

Clinton VP Pick Tim Kaine's Islamist Ties

By Ryan Mauro
2016-07-26 
Originally: Clarion Project

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s newly-announced running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, has a history of embracing Islamists. He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect and received donations from well-known Islamist groups.

Appointing a Muslim Brotherhood Front Leader Who Supports Hamas

In 2007, Kaine was the Governor of Virginia and, of all people chose Muslim American Society (MAS) President Esam Omeish to the state’s Immigration Commission. A Muslim organization against Islamism criticized the appointment and reckless lack of vetting.

Federal prosecutors said in a 2008 court filing that MAS was “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” A Chicago Tribune investigation in 2004 confirmed this, as well as MAS’ crafty use of deceptive semantics to appear moderate. Convicted terrorist and admitted U.S. Muslim Brotherhood member Abdurrahman Alamoudi testified in 2012, “Everyone knows that MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Read our fully-documented profile of MAS here.

According to Omeish’s website, he was also president of the National Muslim Students Association (click there to read our profile about its Muslim Brotherhood origins) and served for two years on the national board of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the Justice Department also labeled as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-financing trial.

His website says he was the vice president of Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, a radical mosque known for its history of terror ties, including having future Al-Qaeda operative Anwar Al-Awlaki as its imam and being frequented by two of the 9/11 hijackers and Nidal Hasan, the perpetrator of the Fort Hood shooting. Omeish’s website says he remains a board member.

Omeish’s website also says he was a member of the board of Islamic American University, which had Hamas financier and Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yousef Al-Qaradawi chairman of its board until at least 2006.

Omeish was also chairman of the board for the Islamic Center of Passaic County, a New Jersey mosque with heavy terrorist ties and an imam that the Department of Homeland Security wants to deport for having links to Hamas.

Omeish directly expressed extremism before Kaine appointed him. He claimed the Brotherhood is “moderate” and admitted that he and MAS are influenced by the Islamist movement.

In 2004, Omeish praised the Hamas spiritual leader as “our beloved Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.” Videotape from 2000 also surfaced where Omeish pledged to help Palestinians who understand “the jihad way is the way to liberate your land” (he denied this was an endorsement of violence).

When a state delegate wrote a letter to then-Governor Kaine warning him that the MAS has “questionable origins,” a Kaine spokesperson said the charge was bigotry.
   
Kaine obviously failed to do any kind of basic background checking in Omeish.

Omeish resigned under heavy pressure, and Kaine acknowledged that his statements “concerned” him. But, apparently, they didn’t concern him enough to actually learn about the Muslim Brotherhood network in his state and to take greater precautions in the future.

Speaking at a Dinner Honoring Muslim Brotherhood Terror Suspect

In September 2011, Kaine spoke at a "Candidates Night" dinner organized by the New Dominion PAC that presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for Jamal Barzinji, who the Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch describes as a “founding father of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.”

He first came on to the FBI’s radar in 1987-1988 when an informant inside the Brotherhood identified Barzinji and his associated groups as being part of a network of Brotherhood fronts to “institute the Islamic Revolution in the United States.” The source said Barzinji and his colleagues were “organizing political support which involves influencing both public opinion in the United States as well as the United States Government” using “political action front groups with no traceable ties.”

Barzinji had his home searched as part of a terrorism investigation in 2003. U.S. Customs Service Senior Special Agent David Kane said in a sworn affidavit that Barzinji and the network of entities he led were investigated because he “is not only closed associated with PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad]but also with Hamas.”  Counter-terrorism reporter Patrick Poole broke the story that Barzinji was nearly prosecuted but the Obama Justice Department dropped plans for indictment.

Barzinji played a major role in nearly every Brotherhood front in the U.S. and was vice president of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), which came under terrorism investigation also. Barzinji’s group was so close to Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative Sami Al-Arian that IIIT’s President considered his group and Al-Arian’s to be essentially one entity.

The indictment of Al-Arian and his colleagues says that they “would and did seek to obtain support from influential individuals, in the United States under the guise of promoting and protecting Arab rights (emphasis mine).”

The quotes about Brotherhood operative Barzinji’s aspirations to use civil rights advocacy as a means to influence politicians are especially relevant when you consider that video from the event honoring Barzinji shows Kaine saying that it was his fourth time at the annual dinner and thanked his “friends” that organized it for helping him in his campaign for lieutenant-governor and governor and asked them to help his Senate campaign.

Islamist Financial Support

Barzinji’s organization, IIIT, donated $10,000 in 2011 to the New Dominion PAC, the organization that held the event honoring Barzinji that Kaine spoke at. The Barzinji-tied New Dominion PAC donated $43,050 to Kaine’s gubernatorial campaign between 2003 and 2005. That figure doesn’t even include other political recipients that assisted Kaine’s campaign.

The PAC has very strong ties to the Democratic Party in Virginia, with the Virginia Public Access Project tallying almost $257,000 in donations. This likely explains why Barzinji’s grandson served in Governor McAuliffe's administration and then became the Obama Administration's liaison to the Muslim-American community.

The Middle East Forum’s Islamist Money in Politics database shows another $4,300 donated to Kaine’s Senate campaign in 2011-2012 by officials from U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entities Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Another $3,500 came from Hisham Al-Talib, a leader from Barzinji’s IIIT organization.

It’s worth noting that Barzinji’s IIIT donated $3,500 to Esam Omeish’s 2009 campaign delegate campaign, tying together the cadre of Muslim Brotherhood-linked leaders who got into Kaine’s orbit.

Conclusion

Kaine has no excuse. If he has an Internet connection, then he and his staff should have known about their backgrounds. They were either extremely careless (something Kaine would have in common with the top of the ticket) or knew and looked the other way in the hopes of earning donations and votes.

Clinton’s choice of Kaine is widely seen as a way of strengthening her campaign’s national security credentials. Yet, Clinton is asking us to trust a candidate on national security who appoints a Hamas supporter to an immigration commission and speaks at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect.

The Sunlit Path of Racial Justice

The Sunlit Path of Racial Justice

By Justin O. Smith
Sent: 7/23/2016 1:56 PM

America -- the Promised Land of Liberty __ must reject the lies, the false narratives, presented to Her by Obama and the black nationalist fascists and nihilists of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and the New Black Panthers, who seek to undermine the rule of law and our republic. They blur the line between good and evil in a vile and reprehensible manner, they sacrifice justice for politics, and they justify the "revenge" murders of police officers, in their ignorant message of a divided America, "Black" America vs "White" America.

However, the majority of people in this wonderful country know there exists only one America filled with millions of people, just like John Quincy Adams, who fought the slave-holding majority in Congress until his old body and voice failed him. Americans recall the black soldiers in our wars for freedom, who bled along with their white brothers for the liberty of all people, black and white and yellow and red. And Martin Luther King, Jr. paved the way for all of us to join hands in brotherhood, one people and one nation under God.

After two black men were shot by police in the first weeks of July, one in Baton Rouge and one in Minneapolis, Black Lives Matter, largely funded by socialist billionaire George Soros [BCN-3/4/16, American Mirror-7/12/16, YourNewsHour.com-7/13/16], organized "peaceful" protests across the nation, raging against the police. But violence was repeatedly urged by many of the protest leaders and America's usual self-serving race-baiters, and the bloodshed that soon followed is on Obama's hands for having failed to call for calm earlier.

Right Click - Open - For Larger View

Racial politics are identity politics, the politics of division. They encourage one group, in this case the black community, to believe that the Democrats are the champions for black people against those who are "oppressing" them, and all too often of late, they have been the politics of hate.

Obama, the most partisan U.S. president in history, stated: "These are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system."

BLM marchers in Dallas chanted "Pigs in a blanket - fry 'em like bacon."

Less than four hours after Louis Farrakhan [The Blaze-7/8/16], leader of the radical Nation of Islam and mentor to the New Black Panthers, released a video (5 p.m. July 7th), Micah Johnson, a black Army Veteran, murdered five Dallas policemen with an SKS 7.62mm rifle. During the ensuing standoff, Johnson told officers he was angry over recent police shootings and wanted to kill white people.

Speaking about white people as one entity, Farrakhan told viewers: "Every damn thing he got, he got it by being violent - killing people, raping and robbing and murdering. ... and then he has the nerve to come and tell us that violence and hatred won't get it. Don't buy that!" [NOI Tweet]

Three more policemen were murdered in Baton Rouge on July 17th by Gavin Long, a former Marine and a member of the Nation of Islam, who raged against "crackers" on Youtube. Long also defended the Dallas shooter [New York Daily News], saying, "It's justice. You know what I'm saying."

No -- Murdering innocent police officers, who were doing their jobs and protecting and serving the protesters in Dallas, is not "justice".

This tone of "justice" was set on the day former Attorney General Eric Holder refused to prosecute the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation in Philadelphia. Add Obama's sympathy for this black fascist group and the media's obsession with false narratives surrounding police shootings, and this spate of anti-police violence is no surprise.

Finally, after Baton Rouge, with his words oozing in sickening hypocrisy, Obama urged Americans to "temper our words and open our hearts". This man is a real psychopath.

In January 2009 in a National Geographic documentary, King Epic Times-12/5/14]: "You want freedom? You going to have to kill some crackers! You going to have to kill some of their babies!"
Samir Shabbaz, head of the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia, stated [

According to Roland Fryer, Jr., Harvard Ph.d, who conducted a study of 1332 police shootings in ten large cities in California, Texas and Florida, "officers were more likely to fire their weapons without first having been attacked when the suspects were white". Similar studies in 'The Reverse Racism Effect' and by researchers at Washington State University concur. The studies consider stressors and various levels of tense situations when the use of lethal force could have been justified. Officers were found to be 20% less likely to shoot if the suspects were black, in Houston.

But Black Lives Matter and the New Black Panthers aren't interested in facts from anyone, because they are degenerate murderous groups, who target white people with intimidation and physical assaults, which reinforces the racist stereotypes that blacks are aggressive, assaultive and violent. They destroy far more than their credibility with these tactics, as they destroy their communities and entire cities, like Ferguson and Baltimore. And if black lives really mattered to them, they would be shooting the drug pushers and gang-bangers, who kill thousands of black people annually, instead of innocent police officers.

In nearly every recent case, a black person was shot by the police when they resisted arrest. If they had simply complied with the policeman's lawful order, they might have gone to jail, but they wouldn't have ended up in a casket.

Delivering some rousing truth at the Republican National Convention on July 21st, Mark Burns, a black pastor from South Carolina, had the crowd cheering as he declared: All lives matter ... That means black lives, white lives, Hispanic lives, Asian lives, Christian lives, Muslim lives - shout with me - all lives matter ...  And despite the color you was born with, here in America, the only colors that matter are the colors of red, white and blue!"

[Blog Editor: The RNC might call the Pastor Mark Burns speaking a speech, but I call it 8 and ½ minutes of DARN GOOD PREACHING:



Published on Jul 21, 2016]

Over fifty years ago, with the strong advocacy of old white men such as Senator Everett Dirksen (R), America climbed on "to the sunlit path of racial justice", but today's black radicals missed class on the day Martin Luther King Jr.'s advocacy for "nonviolent direct action" and [sitting] "down together at the table of brotherhood" was taught. They cast a dark shadow on this path, and their racist progressive intolerance will only appear as a sad footnote in history.

Americans have been horrified by the mayhem and murder unleashed by BLM and the New Black Panthers, and we will not allow criminals running wild and racial division to be any part of America's destiny. Deadly force cannot be the first instinct of the policeman when dealing with criminal suspects, if and when this occurs, no matter how nervous the situation, and the murders of police officers cannot happen anymore or anywhere, simply because the color blue is now perceived by some as anti-black. The next administration must target the BLM and the New Black Panther Party under anti-terrorism and organized crime laws [RICO Act], just as the KKK chapters of old were targeted, or it can watch as our society collapses and descends into survival of the fittest. When people's lives are not protected, there is not any Liberty.

But if we really want racial harmony __ what if we all simply followed God's rule of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"?

"Who has put wisdom in the mind? Who has given understanding to the heart?" __ Job 38: 35-36

Dallas Police Chief David Brown left us one bright moment amongst these tragedies, as he honored and expressed his love for the fallen Dallas Police Officers, quoting Stevie Wonder: "I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky ... Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream ... Until the earth just for the sun denies itself ... Until the day that you are me and I am you ... Now ain't that loving you."

Special Issue on the Attempted Coup in Turkey



I am not a big fan of the Gulen (aka Hizmet) Movement. At worst the movement is a clandestine Islamist movement disguised as a moderate Muslim peaceful interfaith dialogue organization OR at best it is Islam’s version of a brainwashing Scientology-like cult.

Ari Bussel sent me this Gulen Movement perspective of the attempted coup in Turkey which President Recep Erdogan blamed the influential Gulen Movement in Turkey. Erdogan used the coup attempt to execute a Nazi-style purge of his enemy rivals which included thousands of Fethullah Gulen followers in Turkey.

Ari Bussel sent the Pacifica Institute version of the account without comment. Pacifica totally exonerates its fearless leader Fethullah Gulen who actually lives in an obscure compound in the USA in exile from Turkey. Indeed, Gulen has lived in the USA for quite some time operating as a stealth Islam interfaith advocate. I use the word “stealth” because I am more convinced Gulen’s moderation is more for show than actual, much like the numerous Muslim Brotherhood front groups in America such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Special Issue on the Attempted Coup in Turkey

Pacifica Institute

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Pacifica Institute.

As many of you may already be aware, Turkey is going through a very difficult time nowadays. We are deeply concerned about the ongoing situation in the country and we, as Pacifica Institute, strongly condemn this attempted military coup. A coup of any sort defies the democratic process, and we stand opposed to such a hostile and violent attempt at toppling the democratically elected government in Turkey.

We would like to share the following information for those of you who might be interested in reviewing the developments as they took place. We sincerely hope that this issue is resolved quickly and in the best interest of Turkey and its citizens.

What happened?

  • On Friday night, a group of middle-ranking Turkish soldiers attempted a coup
  • Their focus was on Ankara and Istanbul, taking control of the Istanbul's bridges, airports, the Turkish parliament, and some police stations
  • Their attempted coup was ill-planned and badly executed
  • Their efforts were thwarted by the police aided by the huge public support
  • 161 people killed, including members of the coup; 1,500 wounded; 3,000 soldiers arrested
  • The government has blamed the attempted coup on the Gulen movement. Some government ministers have also blamed the US as being behind the coup. 

Who is behind this attempted coup?

  • We really do not know. It is too early to say.
  •  Erdogan is using the incident as a pretext to purge those associated with the Hizmet Movement from any position affiliated with the state, society and to further smear the Movement in general
  • For example, while it was reported that 47 military officers were involved in the coup, as of now, almost 3,000 officers, including tens of generals have been arrested. Furthermore, the Higher Board of Judges and Prosecutors sacked 2745 judges and prosecutors including ten of its own members. Already tens of appellate judiciary judges are detained by orders from the Ankara Prosecutor.
  • How did the government determine the culpability of 2745 judges overnight in a coup orchestrated by a fraction of the military? Clearly, these are people the government wanted to get rid of anyway and is using this opportunity to do so.

Has Gulen condemned the coup?

  • Absolutely and unequivocally
  • In the early hours of the coup, the Alliance for Shared Values, an organization that speaks on behalf of Gulen, condemned the coup attempt. This was followed by a personal statement by Gulen, and by leading Gulen inspired organizations condemning the coup without if's and but's. 
  • Gulen's condemnation was picked up by the world press, including the FT.

So why has Erdogan blamed Gulen for this coup?

  • Gulen and Hizmet is Erdogan's "default scapegoat". Whenever something happens that he does not approve, he blames it on Gulen.
  • Be it a condemnatory letter from 75 US Senators on Turkey; to corruption investigations; to something [else ridiculous]. Gulen becomes a pretext to purge state and society of anyone not entirely loyal.
  • It is far easier to blame this on Gulen because that is a narrative the public have already come to accept. Also, by claiming that the Gulen movement is everywhere, blaming this military act on Gulen allows Erdogan to strike elsewhere on pretext that they are one and the same.

How did Turkish people stood with President Erdogan against the military?

  • Erdogan's support among the Turkish electorate was approximately 40-50 per cent before this coup. So he already had widespread support.
  • Even those staunchly critical of Erdogan and the government condemned the coup and stood by the government.
  • Crucially, the coup plotters failed to project the sense that their coup was succeeding which coup experts point out as crucial.
  • There was no support for a military takeover by the Turkish people

Why have the people opposed Erdogan in the past? What has he done that has made people so unhappy?

  • In his 1st and 2nd terms, Erdogan ran a reforming government.
  • However, from 2010 onwards, Erdogan became increasingly authoritarian as he began to pursue more populist Islamist policies. The summer 2013 Gezi park protests was in reaction to this authoritarianism which Erdogan labelled as a coup of the "interest rate lobby", a euphemism for the Jewish lobby.
  • This authoritarian streak gained momentum when a series of corruption investigations implicating Erdogan's inner circle went public in December 2013 onwards. To suppress the substantial evidence and judicial investigations, Erdogan fought back to control and colonize the judiciary, media and civil society to crush all forms of dissent.
  • Many people are unhappy with the resulting authoritarian regime.

Aftermath - As of 19 July evening

  • 29,464 suspended from civil service
  • 1,577 deans were asked to resign
  • 21,000 teachers in private schools had their licences revoked
  • 6,319 soldiers are in custody
  • 950 civilians arrested
  • 3 newspapers were denied printing facilities
  • 20 news websites were blocked in Turkey
  • 2,745 members of the judiciary were among the suspended civil service personnel.

What now?

  • Erdogan has already won. There won't be any meaningful opposition to his witch-hunt against opposition groups from now on.
  • Till now, the Chief of General Staff resisted Erdogan's attempts of redesigning the military. The Chief of staff has now given into that.
  • Having attained complete loyalty from Turkish state and civil society structures, Erdogan next stop is likely to be the Turkish diaspora overseas.
  • We are already seeing coordinated attacks against Hizmet overseas and this is likely to continue.
·       For the past 6 years Erdogan has been creating formal and informal structures through which to mobilize the Turkish-speaking and increasingly wider Muslim communities.

Fethullah Gulen issued the following statement on recent developments in Turkey

I condemn, in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey. Government should be won through a process of free and fair elections, not force. I pray to God for Turkey, for Turkish citizens, and for all those currently in Turkey that this situation is resolved peacefully and quickly.

As someone who suffered under multiple military coups during the past five decades, it is especially insulting to be accused of having any link to such an attempt. I categorically deny such accusations.

Fethullah Gulen's interviews

Mr. Gülen calls for an international investigation of coup attempt in Turkey



Posted by HerkulNagme_EN
Published on Jul 16, 2016

“On the occasion of the latest incident (coup attempt in Turkey), I can say that, if there is such a claim that there were people [among the perpetrators] whom I knew, whom I motivated and lead, people who acted with my orders, let's have an international committee investigate this matter. Let them investigate if there was such a thing and let them make a decision. I will comply with whatever the result is, even if it is a lie... I will comply even if the committee is bribed and signs and fills papers that calumniate. But only a big international organization should do the investigation, in my humble opinion"

Fethullah Gülen: 'I deplore and reject any anti-democratic attempts.'

Published on Jul 19, 2016

Q: What is your position on this coup attempt and the claims that you are involved in this?

A: I condemn and reject any coup whatsoever. I deplore and reject any coup attempt as well. I would raise my arms and would stop them saying that "this is a dead-end", even against considerations of a coup, as the famous Turkish poet Necip Fazil said This has always has been my general attitude; and my attitude will never change. If even the people who would like to drink my blood would come to the power through democratic elections, I would never consider or approve them being taken down through anti-democratic ways and methods. I do not and will never consider or approve such an attempt. Even if they [those elected] would drink my blood, I would go among people who are trying to bring them down and raise my arms and tell them this is dead-end.

Why was Mr. Gulen's name brought up in the coup attempt in Turkey?



Posted by HerkulNagme_EN
Published on Jul 17, 2016

Q: Do you know why the president (Erdogan) needed to bring your name up in this [coup attempt]?

A: He (Mr. Erdogan) has always had a reaction to those who do not obey him since the beginning.

As I previously expressed in other occasions, maybe, he was concealing some of his feelings.

There are things they were not able to achieve worldwide. People in the Hizmet Movement opened schools in 170 countries.

They tried to open Yunus Emre houses in 14-15 locations but they could not be successful. Turkish Olympiads displeased them.

Before founding the [AK] Party, he came to consult with me about founding the party. I met with him twice. One is when he came to ask my opinion about founding the [AK] Party. I suppose, he went to other people as well. It was not only a matter of asking opinion but also seeking support. I expressed my own considerations at the time.

Then my friends told me this. After he met with me in the 5th floor (Altunizade, Istanbul), when he was in the elevator, he said to the person next to him "we need to defeat them, vanquish them first."

That is, they do not want any alternative formation, any service to exist.

Fethullah Gülen comments on rumors about the coup attempt in Turkey



Posted by HerkulNagme_EN
Published on Jul 17, 2016

Q: What is your opinion about the possibility that they (the Turkish gov't) staged this coup attempt themselves; are there any findings that suggest this?

A: In my opinion, how the incident took place is not like a coup. It is more like a sham. High level officers were not involved. In the past, coups were staged by high-level army officers, like generals etc.

I do not know what level officers were involved in the latest attempt. But in terms of how it took place, it seems more like a scenario to me.

There are also rumors. Some people approach the matter in a way that suggests 'they plotted it themselves to strengthen their power, to do the retrenchment he wanted to do.'

There are also his (Erdogan's) statements afterwards. He said things like "Now our hand became stronger. We can easily fire the army officers whom we wanted to fire on the basis of this [coup attempt] category."

When we bring all these together, it is what we make sense of the entire statements made before and after the incident.

We cannot say it absolutely. Saying, 'it clearly happened this way' would be an imputation. However, it is one of the possibilities that come to mind based on the considerations I mentioned.

Gülen: The truth will eventually come out, let us focus on integrity and togetherness of our society



Posted by HerkulNagme_EN
Published on Jul 17, 2016

Q: Is there any message that you would like to send out to the people of Turkey?

A: One one side, we hear certain allegations and discomfort from certain groups of people. On the other side, we see certain people being exposed to oppression and suffering; they are being crushed under the allegation of horrendous acts. I would like to ask all of them to keep their calm. I would suggest that they not rush into any conclusions. Time is the most significant interpreter we have. Let us allow time to interpret, uncover and resolve this issue.

Also, Allah (God Almighty), whom we have full faith in, will allow for the truth to come out sooner or later. And every person will then see things for what they truly are.

Indeed, we must not lose our balance. The nation of Turkey, the people have been polarized and separated greatly. The repair that is needed requires a great effort on all our part. Society needs to undergo a rehabilitation process. In this respect, it would be wrong to bring about new wounds and tears.

The integrity and togetherness of the society.. that is what needs to be preserved.. and whatever that may require, we must do what we need to do.

CBS8 - San Diego News: Local group reacts to accusations against cleric

The local group Pacifica Group, which follows the teachings of a cleric accused of being behind the failed coup attempt in Turkey, claims Muhammed Fetullah Gulen was not behind Friday's coup. 

Fox31 Denver: Some Coloradans feel backlash of failed coup in Turkey



Some Coloradans feel backlash of failed coup in Turkey
POSTED 6:21 PM, JULY 18, 2016, BY TAMMY VIGIL

AURORA, Colo. -- We’re thousands of miles from the trouble in Turkey after a failed attempt to overthrow the government. But some Coloradans are feeling the backlash.

They are supporters of Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who is accused of spearheading the uprising. The Multicultural Mosaic Foundation is a nonprofit established by Turkish-Americans in Colorado in 2003.

Their main source of inspiration is Gulen. Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Gulen and his supporters are terrorists. But Gulen's supporters say that claim is laughable.

After the gunfire rang out and more than 265 people died, government supporters stopped the military from overthrowing Erdogan.

"To see bombs thrown at bridges, military attack civilians, this is heart break," said Ismail Akbulut, president of Multicultural Mosaic Foundation in Aurora.

For Akbulut, of Superior, that wouldn't be the end of it. The accusations came next.

"They held the movement responsible for what was going on in Turkey," he said.

Multicultural Mosaic Foundation is affiliated with the Gulen movement, named after the famed cleric, who Turkey's president called the head terrorist who plotted the uprising.

But Akbulut said Gulen's movement is about peace, pro-democracy and bringing people together without religion or politics.

"He preached for more than 40 years nonviolence. He is referenced as the Turkish Mahatma Gandhi," he said.

But accusations by Erdogan still spark anger.

"People who we called friends in the U.S., in Colorado, wrote on Facebook, called us terrorists, threatened us," said Akbulut.

One message said, "If you truly like Turkey and you would like to do something good, go ahead destroy yourself because we don't want to make our hands dirty."

Another said in an email: “I don't want to be subscribed on the list of a terrorist group trying to overthrow a democratically-elected government ..."

"We have a culture center here. We feel we could be attacked by supporters of Erdogan," Akbulut said.

Erdogan supporters already vandalized a cultural center affiliated with Gulen in Lyon, France.

"Turkey was doing a few years ago a good job promoting democracy. Now it's turning into a dictatorship," said Akbulut.

Erdogan demanded the United States extradite Gulen to Turkey from Pennsylvania. And the U.S. said it will if Turkey has evidence of Gulen's involvement in the coup.

Colorado group defends Turkish cleric accused in coup


Ryan Haarer, KUSA 5:47 PM. MDT July 18, 2016
DENVER - After Turkish President Tayipp Erdogan reassured the country his government successfully stopped a military coup, he began pointing fingers at an exiled cleric living in Pennsylvania whose movement maintains followers around the world -- including people in Colorado.

The Multicultural Mosaic Society in Denver is a group that follows the teachings of Fethullah Gulen. The group’s president, Ismail Akbulut, says he wasn’t surprised by the accusations. He says it’s led to violence and discrimination against people in the Gulen Movement.

“It is scary because some friends and family members are being targeted by individuals in Turkey motivated by Turkish president Erdogan. They are seeing them as terrorists so they target them individually, attack them physically and also on social media with death threats,” Akbulut said.

Experts at University of Denver agree with Akbulut. Director of Middle East Studies at the University, Nadar Hashemi, finds the accusations to be farfetched but not surprising when considering the relationship history between Erdogan and Gulen. In 2013, documents and audio was leaked exposing corruption within the Turkish government and it’s widely believed that the Gulen Movement was behind it.

“Since then Erdogan has basically been on a campaign to completely eradicate the Gulen Movement from Turkish society and I think he is using the coup now as an opportunity to try and settle scores suggesting that he is going to demand the extradition of Fethullah Gulen from the United States even hinting that U.S.-Turkish relations and relations between Turkey and NATO could be put in jeopardy if the united states doesn’t comply with his request,” Nadar said.

But the Gulen Movement’s not a violent one despite the Erdogan led government labeling the group as a terrorist organization. Hashemi says it’s a civil society, religious based movement that does social welfare work. Gulen promoted interfaith communication and perhaps most notably, education.

Gulen inspired schools have popped up all over the world with a focus on S.T.E.M. education and English language learning outside of the US. Several hundred secular charter schools exist in the United States, including the Lotus School of Excellence in Aurora.

Hashemi says these schools generally have a good reputation but there have been investigations into questionable financial management of the schools run largely by Turkish immigrants who follow the teachings of Gulen.

“They finance the movement, they have schools around the world including several hundred charter schools here in the United States. It does have a certain hierarchal sort of authoritarian internal organizing capacity and component to it’s internal functioning,” Hashemi said.

The Colorado Board of Education denied to appeals for additional charter schools by Lotus citing “financial concerns, facility concerns, enrollment concerns” and a “lack of transparency.”

But the way schools are run probably aren’t an indication of Gulen’s involvement or lack-thereof in last week’s coup.

“It is sad to see people are going against other citizens, other friends because they are motivated by the Turkish president,” said Akbulut, worried about an Erdogan dictatorship. “I am completely against the military coup attempt. I am completely against the military regime. I am pro democracy.”
