Turkey Sets Ultimatum for EU Migrant Deal "Erdoğan is openly pursuing the Islamization of Europe"

(1) UK OPEN Political Debate:
Turkey Sets Ultimatum for EU Migrant Deal
"Erdoğan is openly pursuing the Islamization of Europe"Turkey has threatened to back out of an agreement to stem the flow of migrants to the European Union if Turkish nationals are not granted visa-free travel to the bloc by October.

European officials say that although Turkey has fulfilled most of their conditions, it has failed to relax its stringent anti-terrorism laws, which are being used to silence critics of President Erdoğan, especially since Turkey's failed coup on July 15.
The German newspaper Bild recently reported a confidential plan to house all migrants arriving from Turkey on Greek islands. 
Public transportation to and from those islands to the Greek mainland would be cut off to prevent migrants from moving into other parts of the EU.
"No matter how uncouth, how merciless, how unscrupulous Western countries act, they have no chance of keeping the migration flows under control." — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan..."

Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down North Carolina Voter ID Requirement

Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down North Carolina Voter ID Requirement - The New York Times
"A federal appeals court decisively struck down North Carolina’s voter identification law on Friday, saying its provisions deliberately “target African-Americans with almost surgical precision” in an effort to depress black turnout at the polls.
The sweeping 83-page decision by a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upended voting procedures in a battleground state about three months before Election Day. That ruling and a second wide-ranging decision on Friday, in Wisconsin, continued a string of recent court opinions against restrictive voting laws that critics say were created solely to keep minority and other traditionally Democratic voters away from the polls.
The North Carolina ruling tossed out the state’s requirement that voters present photo identification at the polls and restored voters’ ability to register on Election Day, to register before reaching the 18-year-old voting age, and to cast early ballots, provisions the law had fully or partly eliminated.
The court also held that the ballots of people who had mistakenly voted at the wrong polling stations should be deemed valid..."

Understanding Russian Alexsandr Dugin and the Inevitability of WW3 | Glenn Beck:

"Jason Butrill, head researcher for TheBlaze and former member of counterintelligence with U.S. Special Forces, joined The Glenn Beck Program on Monday for a discussion on Aleksandr Dugin, a key advisor to President of the Russian Federation Vladmir Putin.

“Jason was instrumental in forming the theory that we came up with on Benghazi,” Glenn said.

Within two days of the attack, Jason helped piece together a theory that the U.S. was running guns through a safe house in Benghazi and shipping them to what would become ISIS in Turkey. That theory turned out to be correct."

Nazis are Bad

Nazis are Bad:
"Nazis are bad. I think we can all agree on that.
But what is a Nazi? 
I don't really know.
What I do know is that they are bad.
I hate them for being bad and that makes me good.
And since I am good, anybody who disagrees with me is bad.
Since anybody who disagrees with me is bad, anybody who disagrees with me is a Nazi.
See how easy it is to figure out who the Nazis are?
I think is it wrong for individual citizens to own guns.
Only the police and the army should have firearms.
I think we ought to confiscate all the privately owned firearms.
If you don't agree with me, you're a Nazi."

Socialism for the Uninformed

Socialism for the Uninformed - Thomas Sowell
"Socialism sounds great.
It has always sounded great.
And it will probably always continue to sound great.
It is only when you go beyond rhetoric, and start looking at hard facts, that socialism turns out to be a big disappointment, if not a disaster.
While throngs of young people are cheering loudly for avowed socialist Bernie Sanders, socialism has turned oil-rich Venezuela into a place where there are shortages of everything from toilet paper to beer, where electricity keeps shutting down, and where there are long lines of people hoping to get food, people complaining that they cannot feed their families.
Image result for thomas sowell socialismWith national income going down, and prices going up under triple-digit inflation in Venezuela, these complaints are by no means frivolous.
But it is doubtful if the young people cheering for Bernie Sanders have even heard of such things, whether in Venezuela or in other countries around the world that have turned their economies over to politicians and bureaucrats to run.
The anti-capitalist policies in Venezuela have worked so well that the number of companies in Venezuela is now a fraction of what it once was.
...Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of the left.
What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated.
...None of this is rocket science.
But you do have to stop and think — and that is what too many of our schools and colleges are failing to teach their students to do."

Flash - Corpses, excrement, litter: welcome to Rio Olympic sailing venue

Flash - Corpses, excrement, litter: welcome to Rio Olympic sailing venue - France 24
"RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) -When Olympic sailors compete in Rio the cameras will show a made-for-television scene of sparkling tropical waters and mountains.
Luckily, the billions of viewers won't catch the revolting stink.
More than nine million people live in Rio and towns around the rest of Guanabara Bay.
At best only half the sewage they produce is treated before it pours into the city's watery heart.
Incredibly, the fact that sailors will compete in a giant cesspit -- which Brazilian researchers say contains drug-resistant superbacteria -- is not their main worry.
It's the big, floating stuff capable of snaring or even damaging boats and medal dreams that keep athletes like Kahena Kunze and her 49er crewmate Martine Grael up at night.
Because garbage collection in greater Rio is no better than the sewage treatment, the bay brims with plastic bags, bottles, discarded furniture and dead animals..."

Obama Admin Supressed Report Declaring 'Sanctuary Cities' Illegal For MONTHS | The Federalist Papers:

"When the Justice Department’s Inspector General (IG) found that the entire “sanctuary cities” policy was totally and completely illegal, the Obama Administration could not let that out.

Especially not when the Senate was facing a vote to end the practice. So they hid it.

They marked it “Law Enforcement Sensitive,” and didn’t allow the report to see the light of day for months."

Why The IRS Is Probing The Clinton Foundation

Why The IRS Is Probing The Clinton Foundation | Zero Hedge
"Clinton Cash" author, Peter Schweizer, recently took to the airwaves to explain why the IRS investigation of the Clinton Foundation should be a "big deal" (also see Clinton Cash: "Devastating" Documentary Reveals How Clintons Went From "Dead Broke" To Mega Wealthy") even though he expressed some "skepticism" over the ability of Obama's IRS to run an impartial investigation.  
Image result for Hillary foundation...Somehow we, too, are doubtful that the IRS will lead this investigation with the same kind of vigor they displayed when looking into local Tea Party organizations and religious charities during the last election cycle. 
When asked why the IRS should be concerned about the Clinton Foundation, Mr. Schweizer explained:
"The big deal is that...there are international anti-bribery standards that say bribing a public official can mean giving them money, giving their family money, or giving their charity money.  Just because it's a charity doesn't mean that it's not important or not interesting...it constitutes bribery every bit as much as if somebody's putting money in somebody's pocket for a benefit."
Mr. Schweizer continued by calling into question why foreign governments and wealthy foreign individuals, many from the middle east, would contribute money to the Clinton Foundation given the limited scope of their actual charitable outreach:
"When you look at the people who are giving large sums of money overseas they are people who have histories of corruption or being involved in bribery scandals."
...A full list of entities/individuals that have made bribes contributions in excess of $1mm to the Clinton Foundation over the years can be found below (click for a larger image):
Clinton Foundation Contributors
Finally, when asked why the Obama administration would allow the Clinton Foundation to continue to solicit cash from foreign governments even as she served as Secretary of State, Mr. Schweizer noted that, in fact, Obama conditioned his appointment of Clinton to Secretary of State on her agreement to "disclose all donors"...a condition which Clinton promptly ignored. 
"We know now that there at least 1,100  contributions from foreign sources they still haven't disclosed."

SHE LIED! Hillary's Tearjerker About Handicapped Girl in Wheelchair in DNC Speech WAS ALL A LIE!

SHE LIED! Hillary's Tearjerker About Handicapped Girl in Wheelchair in DNC Speech WAS ALL A LIE!:
"On Thursday night Hillary Clinton delivered her acceptance speech at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia.
Hillary told the crowd about a poor suffering handicapped girl in a wheelchair in New Bedford, Massachusetts who could not go to school because of her disability. 
Hillary said she helped the girl get to school.
"...I remember meeting a young girl in a wheelchair on the small back porch of her house. She told me how badly she wanted to go to school — it just didn’t seem possible in those days..."
But it was ALL A LIE.
Ken Pittman at WBSM reported:
Here’s what I learned; The Mayor of New Bedford in 1973 was a guy I happen to know, Mayor John Markey (81 years old and a lifelong Democrat now living in Dartmouth, MA.
Mayor Markey is also a retired judge and a man whose credibility and character are beyond reproach.
“Jack” as he is known, is eligible for both court and municipal pension but only accepts one. He is not one to “double dip”. I called Jack and asked him a few questions about handicap services in 1973 at the New Bedford Public Schools, including wheelchair accessibility.
“I took over as Mayor in January of 1973.
We had a budget for vans with drivers and provided services to students with disabilities. It was Tremblay Bus.
They would pick them up and drop them off at their homes...
It just didn’t seem possible in those days Hillary, because it wasn’t true in 1973 New Bedford.
Read the whole thing here.
Hillary Clinton made up the whole story to sound like a selfless humanitarian.
In 1973 New Bedford was already giving handicapped kids rides to school.
Years later Hillary lied about handicapped accessibility in the town to sound more charitable and loving to the American public.
It was all a lie."

The Clinton Foundation, State and Kremlin Connections

The Clinton Foundation, State and Kremlin Connections - WSJ
"Hillary Clinton touts her tenure as secretary of state as a time of hardheaded realism and “commercial diplomacy” that advanced American national and commercial interests.
But her handling of a major technology transfer initiative at the heart of Washington’s effort to “reset” relations with Russia raises serious questions about her record.
Far from enhancing American national interests, Mrs. Clinton’s efforts in this area may have substantially undermined U.S. national security.
Image result for hillary reset...By 2012 the vice president of the Skolkovo Foundation, Conor Lenihan—who had previously partnered with the Clinton Foundation—recorded that Skolkovo had assembled 28 Russian, American and European “Key Partners.”
Of the 28 “partners,” 17, or 60%, have made financial commitments to the Clinton Foundation, totaling tens of millions of dollars, or sponsored speeches by Bill Clinton.
Russians tied to Skolkovo also flowed funds to the Clinton Foundation. Andrey Vavilov, the chairman of SuperOx, which is part of Skolkovo’s nuclear-research cluster, donated between $10,000 and $25,000 (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton’s family charity. Skolkovo Foundation chief and billionaire Putin confidant Viktor Vekselberg also gave to the Clinton Foundation through his company, Renova Group.
Amid all the sloshing of Russia rubles and American dollars, however, the state-of-the-art technological research coming out of Skolkovo raised alarms among U.S. military experts and federal law-enforcement officials.
Research conducted in 2012 on Skolkovo by the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth declared that the purpose of Skolkovo was to serve as a “vehicle for world-wide technology transfer to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.”
Moreover, the report said: “the Skolkovo Foundation has, in fact, been involved in defense-related activities since December 2011, when it approved the first weapons-related project—the development of a hypersonic cruise missile engine. . . . Not all of the center’s efforts are civilian in nature.”
Technology can have multiple uses—civilian and military.
But in 2014 the Boston Business Journal ran an op-ed placed by the FBI, and noted that the agency had sent warnings to technology and other companies approached by Russian venture-capital firms. The op-ed—under the byline of Lucia Ziobro, an assistant special agent at the FBI’s Boston office—said that “The FBI believes the true motives of the Russian partners, who are often funded by their government, is to gain access to classified, sensitive, and emerging technology from the companies.”
Ms. Ziobro also wrote that “The [Skolkovo] foundation may be a means for the Russian government to access our nation’s sensitive or classified research development facilities and dual-use technologies with military and commercial application.”

Even if it could be proven that these tens of millions of dollars in Clinton Foundation donations by Skolkovo’s key partners played no role in the Clinton State Department’s missing or ignoring obvious red flags about the Russian enterprise, the perception would still be problematic.
(Neither the Clinton campaign nor the Clinton Foundation responded to requests for comment.)
What is known is that the State Department recruited and facilitated the commitment of billions of American dollars in the creation of a Russian “Silicon Valley” whose technological innovations include Russian hypersonic cruise-missile engines, radar surveillance equipment, and vehicles capable of delivering airborne Russian troops.
A Russian reset, indeed.

'All Lives Matter': Texas Student Sent To Diversity Workshopaller

'All Lives Matter': Texas Student Sent To Diversity Workshop | The Daily Caller
"A student government leader at the University of Houston was suspended for 50 days and ordered to attend a diversity seminar after she criticized the Black Lives Matter movement online.
Shortly after the July 7 shooting in Dallas that killed five officers, Rohini Sethi went on Facebook and opined “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like AllLivesMatter.” 
The statement was later deleted, but only after numerous UH students denounced it as incredibly offensive or even hateful.
“Just for her to say, ‘forget Black Lives Matter,’ is a punch in the stomach,” student Nala Hughes told a local press outlet at the time.
...outlining a set of five punishments for Sethi.
The punishments include:


  • A 50-day suspension from SGA starting August 1. This suspension will be unpaid (she currently receives a stipend of about $700 a month).
  • A requirement to attend a three-day diversity workshop in mid-August.
  • A requirement to attend three “UH cultural events” each month from September through March, excluding December.
  • An order to write a “letter of reflection” about how her harmful actions have impacted SGA and the UH student body
  • An order to put on a public presentation Sept. 28 detailing “the knowledge she has gained about cultural issues facing our society.”

If Sethi refuses or fails any of the requirements, she will be kicked out of SGA entirely..."

Gun grabbers step up ban on military-looking rifles

Maura Healey steps up ban on military-looking rifles | Boston Herald:
"...Attorney General Maura Healey stepped up the ban on military-looking rifles yesterday, prompting licensed gun enthusiasts to flood gun shops on what they believed might be the last day to buy AR-style guns here.
Image result for gun grabbersHealey issued a notice to all gun sellers and manufacturers in Massachusetts banning guns which appear like the Colt AR-15 and the Kalishnikov AK-47, but have been altered by manufacturers to conform to Massachusetts’ ban on adjustable stocks, high-capacity magazines and other features.
...“The gun industry has openly defied our laws here in Massachusetts for nearly two decades,” Healey said.
“That ends today.
We have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure that combat-style weapons are off our streets and out of the hands of those who would use them to kill innocent people.
Cyndi Roy-Gonzalez, spokeswoman for Healey, said the office did not consider how many shootings in Massachusetts have been carried out with assault-style rifles, but insisted the ban is an effective anti-violence measure.
According to FBI statistics, rifles of any variety were used in just two of the Bay State’s 779 murders in the past five years, which were mainly carried out with handguns. 
In that same period, hands and feet were cited as the murder weapon 35 times..."

Message to the GOP: You Don’t Know Your Ass From Your Elbow | Glenn Beck

Message to the GOP: You Don’t Know Your Ass From Your Elbow | Glenn Beck:

"The Clinton Foundation is corrupt to its core, at least that’s the strong speculation, and I believe that to be true. (You will see the Obama Foundation do the same exact thing now.) You can see that in things like what they did in Haiti. If you’re not going through the Clinton Foundation, you’re not getting anything done there. They’re using charity for control and cash. They learned this from the Rainbow Coalition and black charlatans like Al Sharpton, and they also learned it from Eva Peron: You can use charity as a cash cow. But you can also use the government’s charity as a cash cow. Now, you’re not necessarily personally being enriched by it, but you are growing the size of government."
