DIGITAL DRAGNET CLOSING IN ON HILLY EMAILS
Fox News: “The FBI investigation of Hilly Clinton’s email has now expanded to include obtaining data from a second tech company, which is fully cooperating with the FBI probe that has threatened Clinton’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Fox News has learned. A source familiar with the investigation told Fox that the FBI contacted Connecticut-based Datto, Inc. in September and asked them to preserve all data they had which may be connected to Clinton. Datto was hired to help back up data in May 2013 by Platte River Networks, the Colorado-based tech company that managed Clinton’s server and has already been cooperating with the FBI investigation.” -Fox News

Looks Like FBI Has Clinton's Complete Email Trail While Hilly Clinton is doing everything in her power to portray her email server cover up as just a political hack job by the House Benghazi committee, the FBI seized four servers from the State Department. The FBI does not work for Congress; the head of the FBI is appointed by Barack nObama. Soon, the FBI will have a complete record of just what happened on Her Majesty's Secret Servers. Sure, as soon as Clinton realized she was being investigated, her team ordered the backup servers, anything older than 30 days, to be erased. But the politician who tried to wipe her server "with a cloth or something" didn't do a complete job. Platte River Networks, the firm that operated Clinton's email server, subcontracted some work to Datto Inc., but Datto archived some of the server's contents in the cloud — despite being instructed not to do that.
On Wednesday, Datto Inc. said it would turn over the emails to the FBI. According to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), when Clinton ordered Platte River Networks to start destroying email, a Platte River employee emailed Datto writing, "Starting to think this whole thing is really covering up some shaddy [sic] s— ... I just think if we have it in writing that they told us to cut the back ups, and that we can go public with our statement saying we have Head back ups sense day one, then we were told to trim 30 days, it would make us look a WHOLE LOT better." Bottom line here: Clearly Clinton has been lying all along and endeavoring to keep her communications off books in order that they would not be subject to scrutiny before her presidential campaign. At best, Clinton has been grossly negligent in maintaining these private servers. At worst she has committed treasonous felonies.

Clinton's 'Pivot' Against the Trans-Pacific Partnership
It's a well-known fact that Hilly Clinton flip-flops on the issues. She was against same-sex marriage before she was for it. She supported her husband's tough-on-crime policies before she said they damaged the nation. Sure, some of her changes can be chalked up to time and more information. But that narrative doesn't fit Clinton's recent stance against the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "Based on what I know so far, I can't support this agreement," Clinton said in a statement Wednesday, implying that TPP would reduce the number of jobs in the nation. Based on what she knows? Of all the people in the nation, Clinton should know the most about TPP. After all, she was the person that negotiated the deal. When she was secretary of state, Clinton publicly lobbied for the partnership 45 times. It was part of her "pivot to the Asia Pacific." She told Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida in January 2013 the TPP "holds out great economic opportunities to all participating nations." The Trans-Pacific Partnership isn't just empty words for Clinton or some kind of theory of what might be a future solution to a current problem. She invested herself into the partnership, presumably giving a part of herself to the diplomatic process. Yet she's willing to throw that all away to cater to progressive voters (read: unions) ahead of next week's first Democrat debate. -The Patriot Post

Concerted Effort to Silence Climate Opposition Exposed
A clarion call by a group of professors demanding that climate dissenters be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act backfired spectacularly last week when the Republican-controlled House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology launched an investigation into the group's organization, the Institute of Global Environment and Society. IGES President Jagadish Shukla is now trying to stave off possible ethics violations — namely, using taxpayer dollars to attack opposing viewpoints, a move that perplexed even some Democrats. Emphasis on some. Others, like Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, the ranking Democrat on the committee, pretend to cherish freedom of speech while simultaneously ignoring the allegations against IGES. Johnson suggested the probe is unjustified and paints IGES as the victim. "[S]ince the letter [ordering Shukla to retain information for investigative purposes] contains no specific allegations, I am puzzled as to the Chairman's intent in writing it," she said. Still, asserted Johnson, "To be clear about my own position, I would resist any attempt to stifle the constitutionally protected right of any citizen, including the nation's scientists, to engage in free speech without interference." But that's exactly what the group's letter demands. A letter that has since been taken offline because it was "inadvertently" made public to begin with.

nObama’s Top Advisers Have All Resigned
{Andrew Stiles} ~ Last week, President nObama’s education secretary Arne Duncan announced that he was leaving at the end of the year. Far less attention has been paid to the string of other high-profile resignations... that have rocked the administration since September 22, when Bloomberg reported that John Allen, the retired general nObama hand-picked to lead the U.S. war effort against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, was stepping down. One week later, on September 29, POLITICO reported that Evelyn Farkas, the top Pentagon official responsible for overseeing U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine, was leaving her post after five years. According to the site, the administration is expected to “have a hard time finding a replacement,” as Farkas’s resignation comes at a time of considerable division within the nObama administration over how to respond to Russian aggression in Ukraine and Syria.

Calif Demo-Communists Create Illegal Alien Voter Registration...
{rickwells.us} ~ It seems like every day a new distortion of our laws, procedures, rules, policies or practices is imposed upon us by the Democrat Party... in their incessant assault on the United States, our Constitution and our citizens. It’s time for a little honesty. We’ve reached the point where it is no longer sufficiently descriptive of this organization to refer to them as the Democrat Party. That’s who they used to be, before they were successfully hijacked by the anti-American Marxists. It’s become undeniable that they’ve morphed into the Communist Party, choosing to operate to a limited degree under cover, but increasingly blatantly exposing through their anti-American acts their true nature..
Warning For America From Socialist, Gun-Grabbing, Islamist Australia
{rickwells.us} ~ The speaker, Loxley Smithette begins by noting that Australia is already in the New World Order that we Americans are about to join... He says that while he understands that we believe we’ll elect Donald Trump and our electoral process will work as it was designed, that isn’t going to happen. We won’t be allowed; the machines are rigged and the criminals, such as Hilly Clinton, are in control of them. He recalls how the Australians were disarmed upon a pretext of a massacre in Tasmania in which Martin Bryant supposedly killed thirty-five people with precision head shots. Bryant was a mental deficient with the IQ of a ten-year-old. He comments, “He was not military and yet the precision of the executions were. He never admitted to the crime for five months. He had to get a second lawyer and there was never a trial. He also notes that Bill Clinton was “coincidentally” in the country on the day it happened. Smithette, with obvious doubts as to the true nature of the Australian event, offers his view that “this is what’s going on with the Oregon attacks now is that you’re experiencing what we’ve already been through. He describes the process, “You get some weirdo. You make him your patsy and then you go in and promote gun control because obviously, white people are out of control. Then the regular population of sheeple commit to it and you get your guns taken away and then you become like Australia. And why would you want to do that?” http://rickwells.us/warning-for-america-from-socialist-gun-grabbing-islamist-australia-its-a-very-scary-place-and-youre-next/.
Russian Air Force destroys 29 ISIS camps in Syria in 24 hours
{www.rt.com} ~ Russian warplanes in Syria have bombed 29 terrorist field camps and other facilities of the militant group Islamic State in the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry reported... The general said signal intelligence reports indicate that the militants are suffering from a shortage of fuel and ammunition after the Russian bombings. “Some of them are demoralized and are actively leaving the battle zone, moving in eastern and northeastern directions,” he said. Konashenkov said that the increasing number of combat missions conducted by Russia in Syria is explained by the large number of potential targets identified and confirmed as viable by space and aerial reconnaissance..
Incompetent or indifferent: Clinton burns CIA Libya contact
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Setting aside Blumenthal's obvious culpability, Clinton's choice to place herself above the rules and use private email made this information available to the world before she had even sent it along... And there is no indication that she so much as scolded Blumenthal for handling information so carelessly, information he had no business knowing in the first place. Clinton may have had a duty to report this incident, but so far there is no indication that shedid. Clinton was fortunate to have this story buried behind the current chaos in Congress. But once that chaos is ended, she will have to answer for this egregious breach, if not to the FBI, then at least to voters. The Benghazi Committee's investigation continues to reveal the depths of her dishonesty and incompetence in office, and that's the reason Democrats are now so eager to shut it down..
Federal Court Delivers Massive Blow to nObama
{patriotupdate.com} ~ Can you say government overreach? On Friday, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit based in Cincinnati issued a nationwide stay blocking the nObama administration’s highly controversial Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Rule set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency... State legislators from across the country believe the rule violates the Tenth Amendment and sets a dangerous precedent for federal intrusion. In total, more than 30 states have sought legal action against the rule. “A stay temporarily silences the whirlwind of confusion that springs from uncertainty about the requirements of the new rule and whether they will survive legal testing,” the court said. http://patriotupdate.com/federal-court-delivers-massive-blow-to-obama/

Houthi Retreat in Yemen Shows the Limits of Iranian Power
{Jonathan Spyer} ~ While regional news remains dominated by the dramatic events under way in Syria, further south and east important developments are taking place in one of the more neglected arenas of the regional struggle – Yemen... Events in Yemen are noteworthy because they counter the notion that as a result of the nObama administration's exit from the region and in the wake of the nuclear agreement, an unstoppable Iranian advance across the Middle East is inevitable. In Yemen, what is taking place is the halting of an Iranian client by forces supported by the Arab Gulf states, most importantly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates..
North Korea Can Hit U.S. With Long-Range Nuclear Missile
{Bill Gertz} ~ North Korea is capable of hitting the United States with a long-range nuclear missile, the commander of the U.S. Northern Command said last week... “I agree with the intel community that we assess that they have the ability, they have the weapons, and they have the ability to miniaturize those weapons, and they have the ability to put them on a rocket that can range the homelands,” said Adm. William Gortney, the Northcom commander who is also in charge of defending the United States from long-range missile attack. “And as the defender of North America, the United States officially, in the ballistic missile defense, I think the American people expect me to take the threat seriously,” he said Wednesday at the Atlantic Council. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/admiral-north-korea-can-hit-u-s-with-long-range-nuclear-missile/.
EPA ‘Running a $160 Million PR Machine’
{Elizabeth Harrington} ~ The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spent over $15 million on outside public relations consultants despite employing nearly 200 full-time in house PR workers... A new report on EPA spending released by Open the Books, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transparency, found numerous examples of questionable expenditures within the agency. Among them, the EPA spent over $15.1 million on outside public relations consultants between 2000 and 2014. The funding was on top of the $141.496 million in salaries and $1.5 million in bonuses on full-time public affairs officers the EPA has spent since 2007. As of 2012, the EPA employed 198 public affairs employees. The average EPA employee salary is $111,165. “Everyone is under the impression that the EPA is spending money to ‘clean the environment.’ But, it turns out EPA is running a $160 million PR Machine..
Open-carry group to protest ‘Muslim colonization’ in Dearborn
A flyer for the event proclaims: “The world is saying no to Islam.”... A group of open carry gun advocates and others are planning an anti-Islam rally in Dearborn this weekend, hoping to bring attention to what they call “the evils of radical Islam.” Dearborn police, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security officers are expected to be on hand for what’s been billed as a “Global Rally for Humanity” initially scheduled for Saturday afternoon outside the Islamic Center of America — North America’s largest mosque — on Ford Road. “We are invoking our 1st Amendment right about our feeling of Islam in America,” reads one Facebook pagepromoting the rally. On another, organizers say: “As this invasion of Muslim colonization continues unchecked on American soil, we can only expect the same suffering now endured by EUROPE…Now is the time to act.”http://woundedamericanwarrior.com/open-carry-group-to-protest-muslim-colonization-in-dearborn-video/

That would be the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, known as the Hart-Celler Act, which ended the highly restrictive terms of the prior 1924 legislation, opening the United States to larger and more varied immigration.

Put in numerical terms, according to the Pew Research Center, the United States was 84 percent white, 11 percent black, 4 percent Hispanic, and 1 percent Asian in 1965; today, it is 62 percent white, 12 percent black, 18 percent Hispanic and 6 percent Asian, and 2 percent other. The center projects that in 2065, the population will be 46 percent white, 13 percent black, 24 percent Hispanics, 14 percent Asian, and 3 percent other.

Theses changes have profound implications for the country; as Jeff Melnick of the University of Massachusetts puts it, "You'd have to go really far to find an area of American life that's untouched by the realities of the '65 law." Already in 1990, or only 25 years after Hart-Celler, Ben J. Wattenberg celebrated this change, calling the United States "The First Universal Nation." Many others join him in seeing population diversity as inherently positive.

But I take a darker view. As multiculturalism takes hold, I wonder if classic American culture, with its stress on individualism and freedom, will survive. As communication and transportation costs shrivel, maintaining bonds to other countries gets easier, permitting newcomers to opt out of critical portions of American life. I watch how the American power of acculturation weakens and a once-unified country becomes increasingly riven. I worry that the success of the United States will bring in so many from the world at large that they eventually undermine that very success.

Put differently, the first half century of Hart-Celler is just the warm-up act for what's to come. The United States of 2065 will differ much more, I predict, from today's country than today's does from that of 1965. And not for the better. (October 3, 2015)
