Tillerson Talks Tough On
Chinese Island Piracy, Free Navigation
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson’s comments during Wednesday questioning in his confirmation hearing may do more to stir the Chinese than a phone call with the President of Taiwan ever could... He said the island building on other countries’ reefs must stop and that access to the islands they’ve already created must be denied. China has constructed military installations, complete with air strips and surface to air missile installations on multiple islands that belong to other, much weaker nations. In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tillerson described China’s building of islands and military installation construction as “akin to Russia’s taking Crimea” from Ukraine. He said: “We’re going to have to send China a clear signal that, first, the island-building stops and, second, your access to those islands also is not going to be allowed.” He didn’t elaborate on just what steps might be taken to accomplish those objectives but they would certainly be sensitive in nature, if not provocative. Tillerson said he considers China’s South China Sea activity to be “extremely worrisome” and China controlling access to the waterways is a threat to the “entire global economy.”... http://rickwells.us/tillerson-talks-tough-chinese-island-piracy-free-navigation/

NASA Reveals Vast Hole in the Sun
That Could “Cripple Power Supplies”
by Mac Slavo
{shtfplan.com} ~ NASA has released a graphic showing a rip in the fabric of the sun, so to speak, that is leaking solar radiation through a hole in its surface... This is sending a bombardment of particles towards earth that could interfere with the electric grid and disrupt any technologies that are electromagnetic based. The experts aren’t expecting a major storm this time – with only a G2 warning issued for the current onset of unusual solar activity. This will be enough only to heighten the aurora borealis effects and test the real world resilience of satellites and other sensitive equipment...The dummies on left will blame it on Global Warming. What a joke.

Supremes face bombshell:
Law censoring Christian counselors
by Bob Unruh
{wnd.com} ~ The U.S. Supreme Court has been handed a bombshell: An appeal of a lower-court ruling that banned Christian counselors from talking with teens about the biblical standard for sexuality... The case challenges laws that force licensed counselors to affirm homosexuality, prohibiting them from helping clients overcome same-sex attractions. Such laws have been adopted in New Jersey, where a biased judge used it to shut down a Christian ministry, and in California and other states. The case already was presented to the Supreme Court several years ago, but it did not get a ruling...The anti-Christian and anti-Jewish intent was obvious.

She's Baaack
by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The criminal investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton is back front and center now that the FBI has released proof that her failure to safeguard state secrets caused the secrets to fall into the hands of foreign governments, some of which wish the United States ill.
Even though the case against her — which was closed and then reopened and then closed again — is old news and she obviously is no longer a candidate to become president of the United States and has been staying below the radar for the past two months, recent developments have regenerated the case.
Here is the back story.
On July 5, FBI Director James Comey announced publicly that the FBI would recommend against seeking an indictment of liar-Clinton for espionage — the failure to safeguard state secrets that had been entrusted to her. He argued that though the case against her was strong — as secretary of state, she had been extremely careless with secrets; exposed hundreds of materials that were confidential, secret and top-secret; and used non-secure mobile devices while in the territory of hostile governments — no reasonable prosecutor would take the case.
Why was the decision of whether to prosecute liar-Clinton left to Comey?
The FBI's job is to gather evidence of federal crimes and to present that evidence to career prosecutors in the Department of Justice for evaluation. The FBI has numerous investigative tools available to it. One of those tools is presenting evidence to a grand jury and requesting subpoenas from it. Another is presenting evidence to a federal judge and requesting search warrants from the judge. A third is obtaining the indictment of someone who is in the inner circle of the person who is the true target of the investigation and then persuading that indicted person to become a government witness.
None of those tools was used in the liar-Clinton case.
As well, a major interference with the case occurred when Attorney General Loretta Lynch agreed to meet privately with former President Bill liar-Clinton. He was — and still is — also the subject of an FBI criminal investigation. Though both Lynch and Mr. liar-Clinton denied talking about the investigations, the attorney general took herself and senior DOJ management off the liar-Hillary Clinton case, leaving the FBI director with the authority to decide whether to prosecute. So based on Comey's decision that no reasonable prosecutor would take the case against Mrs. liar-Clinton, it was closed.
The case was briefly reopened 11 days before Election Day. The FBI announced it had stumbled upon a potential treasure-trove of emails contained in a laptop jointly owned and used by liar-Hillary Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, former Rep. Anthony Weiner. The FBI believed at the time that the laptop contained nearly every email Abedin had received from liar-Clinton. Weiner was under investigation for various sexual crimes, and the FBI had obtained the laptop in its search for evidence against him.
Then, a week later, the FBI announced that it had found nothing among the 650,000 emails in the laptop that would cause it to reopen the liar-Clinton case, and it closed the case a second time.
Donald Trump argued during the last weeks of the presidential election campaign that liar-Clinton had exposed state secrets to hostile foreign governments. FBI agents who disagreed with their boss's decision not to seek the indictment of liar-Clinton made the same arguments. liar-Clinton denied vehemently that she had caused any state secrets to pass into the hands of hostile foreign governments.
Then Trump was elected president of the United States.
Then liar-Clinton left the public scene.
Then, last Sunday evening, during the NFL playoff game between the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers, the FBI posted on its website more than 300 emails that liar-Clinton had sent to an unnamed colleague not in the government — no doubt her adviser Sid Blumenthal — that had fallen into the hands of foreign powers. It turns out — and the Sunday night release proves this — that Blumenthal was hacked by intelligence agents from at least three foreign governments and that they obtained the emails liar-Clinton had sent to him that contained state secrets. Sources believe that the hostile hackers were the Russians and the Chinese and the friendly hackers were the Israelis.
Last Sunday's revelations make the case against liar-Clinton far more serious than Comey presented it to be last summer. Indeed, Sen. Jeff Sessions, who has been nominated by Trump to be attorney general and who has been a harsh critic of liar-Clinton's, told the Senate Judiciary Committee this week that he would step aside from any further investigation of liar-Clinton, thereby acknowledging that the investigation will probably be opened again.
The criminal investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton is back front and center now that the FBI has released proof that her failure to safeguard state secrets caused the secrets to fall into the hands of foreign governments, some of which wish the United States ill.
One of the metrics that the DOJ examines in deciding whether to prosecute is an analysis of harm caused by the potential defendant. I have examined the newly released emails, and the state secrets have been whited out. Yet it is clear from the FBI analysis of them that real secrets were exposed by the nation's chief diplomat — meaning she violated an agreement she signed right after she took office, in which she essentially promised that she would not do what she eventually did.
The essence of the American justice system is the rule of law. The rule of law means that no one is beneath the law's protections or above its obligations.
Should liar-Clinton skate free so the Trump administration can turn the page? Should the new DOJ be compassionate toward liar-Clinton because of her humiliating election loss and likely retirement from public life? Of course not. She should be prosecuted as would anyone else who let loose secrets to our enemies and then lied about it.
