 The Significance of the Murdered DNC Staffer

The Democratic National Committee is back in the news, and it's not just because its being sued for not paying workers $15 an hour to campaign for a federal minimum wage of ... $15 an hour. No, the real story is the DNC staff who was murdered in DC last summer. Why's that a story? Let's look at the history.
          Last summer, WikiLeaks released a huge cache of emails from key Democrats revealing the DNC's conspiracy to sabotage Bernie Sanders' campaign on behalf of liar-Hillary Clinton. We suppose liar-Hillary's "reset" with the Russians worked, because the DNC blamed Moscow for the leaks. Democrats have been screaming about Russia "hacking" the election ever since.
          A few weeks later, Donald Trump hit liar-Clinton over her illegal unsecured email server by taunting, "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 [liar-Hillary Clinton] emails that are missing." What began as the Democrats' Russia hacking narrative soon became the story of Trump colluding with Vladimir Putin. Trump's tease caught liar-Clinton in an obvious contradiction, but Democrats used it to build a narrative.
          Thus the import of what we learn today. Fox News reports, "The Democratic National Committee staffer who was gunned down on July 10 on a Washington, D.C., street just steps from his home had leaked thousands of internal emails to WikiLeaks." Julian Assange, the tool who runs WikiLeaks, suggested this last summer, but he's not exactly a credible source. Now, a federal investigator has confirmed it.
          In any case, 12 days after Rich was shot from behind, WikiLeaks published the damning internal DNC emails — damning not because WikiLeaks released them or "the Russians" hacked them, but because of what Democrats themselves were saying behind closed doors. And then you've got John Podesta emailing, "I'm definitely for making an example of a suspected leaker whether or not we have any real basis for it."
          Death and liar-Hillary Clinton have a long history, but this is getting ridiculous.  ~The Patriot Post

Littering Argument With US Citizen Leads
To Arrest For Weapons, Explosives

{rickwells.us} ~ If you’re a terrorist you probably don’t care too much about the environment, littering, city ordinances, state laws or being a productive member of society... A positive interaction with another human would be one in which the other person ends up scattered over a wide area. A meaningful discussion would include convincing your fellow terrorist that the target you selected held the most potential for mayhem. It’s therefore understandable that an average American citizen might be a bit caught off guard expecting all of those things to carry some weight in an interaction with a foreigner. Even if he’s trying to educate him as to American customs,  how we do things over here, and respect, American style, he still might be prone to be too generous in granting basic levels of civility to the barbaric import... http://rickwells.us/littering-argument-us-citizen-arrest-weapons-explosives/

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem next week, U.S. President
Donald Trump might put aside the sweet talk of Abbas, and listen instead for the
unsettling truths voiced by other Palestinians such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad
by Bassam Tawil
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ As U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to hold his second meeting with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem next week, two Palestinian terror groups have announced that the new U.S. administration is planning to "liquidate the Palestinian cause."... The warning by Hamas and Islamic Jihad is directed not only against Trump and his new administration, but also against Abbas and any Arab leader who dares to "collude" with the U.S. The two Palestinian terror groups, which control the Gaza Strip and its two million residents, also renewed their pledge to pursue the armed fight against Israel; they said they would not give up one inch of Palestine, from the Mediterranean sea to the Jordan river... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10369/palestinians-trump-visit

Russia: 'Our correspondents feel

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The presence of a Russian photographer working for a state-owned news agency during President Donald Trump's meeting Wednesday with Russian diplomats in the Oval Office sparked criticism from media advocates as well as concerns over the risk of a security breach.

White House officials seemed caught off-guard by the controversy, initially saying they had not anticipated that the state news agency Tass would post photographs from the meeting. "They tricked us," one unnamed official was quoted as saying by CNN.

American news organizations were not granted access to the Oval Office meeting; an official White House photographer was present. Officials said they were unaware that photographer Alexandr Scherbak would be shooting for both Tass and the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Russian officials have fired back fiercely by taking aim at the U.S. media.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized a Washington Post story about the meeting on the sidelines of Thursday's Arctic Council meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska. The Washington Post story, published soon after the Oval Office meeting, had quoted a number of former intelligence officials who said that White House visitors could hide surveillance equipment such as a listening device in a camera or other equipment.

"Here he is -- the spy!" Zakharova said sarcastically after being approached by a Post reporter, referring to Scherbak, standing nearby. "Your newspaper is making our correspondents feel like Jews in 1933."

In Facebook postings on Thursday, Zakharova also criticized CNN's coverage of the Oval Office meeting, accusing the news network of reaching "rock bottom."

The spokeswoman shared a Web page made by the Russian Embassy in Washington that was simply a list of more than 200 tweets by journalists and other public figures discussing the meeting.

Scherbak issued his reply Thursday in a Facebook post written in Russian and later translated to English. Addressing the "U.S. media" directly about the "hysteria surrounding my photo shoot at the White House," Scherbak said he had covered similar meetings around the world before and there was "nothing unusual" about Wednesday's session.

After the Russian foreign minister met with his U.S. counterpart, "I was taken by a U.S. representative to the White House. I was scanned, patted down, and then sniffed by canines," Scherbak wrote.

Inside the Oval Office, he was accompanied by an official White House photographer, he said. "I took only two cameras to the photo shoot, I left all my stuff, including my cellphone, in another room as I was told to do."

On Friday, the Russian Journalists' Union issued a statement in support of Scherbak, suggesting that he had "become another target of attacks by CNN journalists."

Wednesday's White House meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and other officials, including Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, came at a time of renewed scrutiny over ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow. Kislyak in particular has featured in one of the new administration's most notable controversies, with national security adviser Michael Flynn forced to resign in February after misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with the ambassador last year.

U.S. intelligence agencies concluded with "high confidence" that Russia tried to affect the outcome of the 2016 election, an allegation Lavrov has denied repeatedly.

The Post reported after the meeting that although all visitors entering the White House were subjected to a security screening, some former intelligence officials suggested that such a screening could not detect a sophisticated device. Todd Morris, founder and chief executive of the countersurveillance advisory company BrickHouse Security, told The Post that a covert device could be as small as a matchbook and that though it might eventually be found, it could transmit its data quickly.
