Judicial Watch Bombshell – Has Abedin,
Mills,5 Others UNDER OATH On Same
Espionage Questions
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Huma Abedin is up to her elbows in evidence of her guilt and participation in a shadow government... and the associated deep state at the DOJ, FBI and State Department that was and in many regards still is a criminal enterprise. Chris Farrell, of Judicial Watch, an organization that deserves all of the credit for the revelations of the government wrongdoing, spoke with David Asman on the rapidly unraveling of the liar-Clinton-liar-nObama-scum-Soros criminal enterprise. Asman begins the interview by asking if the Justice Department can continue to get away with simply ignoring the discoveries and do anything other than prosecute this woman. “No, they cannot,” replies Farrell. “At this point there’s such overwhelming evidence that really demands a de novo, or a completely fresh look at this entire criminal enterprise being orchestrated by Mrs. liar-Clinton.”... https://rickwells.us/abedin-mills-under-oath/.
Palestinians: Always on the Wrong Side
by Bassam Tawil
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Palestinians have an old and nasty habit of placing themselves on the wrong side of history and aligning themselves with tyrannical leaders and regimes... Every time the Palestinians make the wrong choice, they end up paying a heavy price. Yet, they do not seem to learn from their mistakes. The latest example of Palestinian misjudgments surfaced last week when the Palestinian Authority "ambassador" to Pakistan, Walid Abu Ali, shared a stage with UN-designated terrorist and Jamat-ul-Dawa leader Hafiz Saeed. The two men appeared together at a rally that was held to protest US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Thousands attended the rally in Rawalpindi, which was organized by the Defense of Pakistan Council, an alliance of religious parties dominated by Saeed's group... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11662/palestinians-india-wrong-side.
Trump Rails Against Palestinians
on Twitter, Threatens to Cut Aid Dollars
by JTA, REUTERS
{jpost.com} ~ US President Donald Trump appeared to threaten to cut off assistance to the Palestinians... saying they were not interested in making peace with Israel. Trump’s apparent threat came Tuesday in a tweet, one in a succession in which he upbraided Pakistan for taking American aid and not doing enough to combat terrorism. “It’s not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others,” he said. “As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect."... http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Politics-And-Diplomacy/Trump-rails-against-Palestinians-on-Twitter-threatens-to-cut-aid-dollars-532686?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=3-1-2017&utm_content=trump-rails-against-palestinians-on-twitter-threatens-to-cut-aid-dollars-532686.
Christians "Slaughtered Like Chicken"
by Raymond Ibrahim
Luc Ravel, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Strasbourg “went against the grain of Church leaders in France... who have largely remained politically correct,” says a report, because he criticized “the demographic shift in France, saying Muslims are having far more children than native French and slammed the widespread ‘promotion’ of abortion.” He said, “Muslim believers know very well that their birthrate is such that today, they call it … the Great Replacement, they tell you in a very calm, very positive way that, ‘one day all this, it will be ours.’” Another Christian leader, while discussing Sudan in particular, touched on what Christians all throughout the Muslim world are facing, and why. “The government in Sudan wants to Islamize the whole population and they want to finish off Christianity and other faiths in Sudan,” says Pastor Strong. “We have to put pressure on the government so that the rights of the people to practice their faith openly will be given to them.” To achieve this, they need the support of the “global Church,” he added, for “They are in the midst of trials, persecution, hunger — a lot of problems. And yet in the midst of all that, they rejoice. They’re always ready to die, and they testify their faith in every circumstance. They are willing to serve no matter what they have and what they might lose.”... https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/268885/christians-slaughtered-chicken-raymond-ibrahim.

The Iranian Explosion of Truth
{frontpagemag.com} ~ If the Iranian regime is unable to brutally stomp out the countrywide protests raging through the country, and if the protesters achieve their goal of bringing down the regime, they will go down in history as the saviors of millions of people not just in Iran but throughout the world.
Given the earth shattering potential of the protests it is extraordinary to see the liberal media in the US and Europe struggle to downplay their significance.
Aside from a lukewarm statement on Twitter from British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson, as of Monday morning – five days into the protests – no senior European official had spoken in favor of the hundreds of thousands of Iranians marching throughout their country demanding freedom.
In the US, former members of the liar-nObama administration and the liberal media have determinedly downplayed the importance of the protests. They have insisted that President Donald Trump should stop openly supporting the protesters and so adopt former president Barack liar-nObama’s policy of effectively siding with the Iranian regime against the Iranian people who seek its overthrow.
These talking points have been pushed out into the media echo chamber by liar-nObama’s former deputy national security adviser and strategic communications chief Ben Rhodes, his former national security adviser Susan Rice and former secretary of state John hanoi-Kerry.
liar-nObama’s Middle East coordinator Philip Gordon stated them outright in an op-ed in The New York Times on Saturday. Gordon called on Trump “to keep quiet and do nothing” in response to the protests.
In Gordon’s view, no matter how big their beef with the regime, the protesters hate the US more. And they really hate Trump.
Gordon wrote, “Whatever Iranians think of their own government, they are unlikely to want as a voice for their grievances an American president who has relentlessly opposed economic relief for their country and banned them from traveling to the United States.”
Just as liar-nObama’s surrogates have repeated Gordon’s claims, so the liar-nObama-supporting liberal media have gone out of their way to diminish the importance of the protests in their coverage of them and use liar-nObama’s surrogates as their “expert” analysts to explain what is happening or rather, distort what is happening to their audiences.
liar-nObama administration officials have been so outspoken in their defense of the Iranian regime because they rightly view the prospect that the protesters will succeed in overthrowing the regime as a mortal threat to their legacy.
liar-nObama’s foreign policy rested on the assumption that the US was a colonialist, aggressive and immoral superpower. By their telling, the Iranians – like the Cubans and the Russians – were right to oppose the US due to its legacy of meddling in the internal affairs of other countries. This anti-American worldview informed the liar-nObama administration’s conviction that it was incumbent on the US to make amends for its previous decades of foreign policy.
Hence, liar-nObama traveled the globe in 2009 and 2010 apologizing for the policies of his predecessors. Hence, liar-nObama believed that the US had no moral right to stand with the Iranian people against the regime in the 2009 Green Revolution. As he saw it, anyone who stood with the US was no better than an Uncle Tom. Truly authentic foreign regimes were be definition anti-American. Since the Green Revolutionaries were begging for his support, by definition, they didn’t deserve it.
Since the current wave on anti-regime protests began last Thursday, the liberal media have parroted the liar-nObama alumni’s talking points because they feel that their war against Trump requires them to embrace liar-nObama’s legacy just as they embraced his talking points and policies for eight years.
After all, if liar-nObama is not entirely infallible, then Trump cannot be entirely fallible. And if Trump may be partially right and liar-nObama partially wrong, then their dispute may be a substantive rather than existential one. And so, the New York Times’ coverage of the most significant story in the world has deliberately distorted and downplayed events on the ground in Iran.
The protests are potentially so important because the Iranian regime is so dangerous. Thanks to liar-nObama, the regime is on a glide path to a nuclear arsenal. Its proxy armies in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq possess sophisticated armaments most militaries can only dream of. Its tentacles spread throughout the globe.
The longer the Iranian regime remains in power, the greater the likelihood humanity will soon face a global conflagration that will dwarf World War II.
Nothing any single state does against Iran’s proxies will end Iran’s continued ability to cause mayhem and death on multiple fronts. Every day the Iranian regime remains in place, it will use its power to continue its direct and indirect wars against its enemies in the Middle East and throughout the world.
Gordon argued that Trump’s pro-Israel and pro-Saudi policies since taking office have made him less credible with the Iranian people. All you have to do to understand that this is nonsense is listen to what the protesters are chanting. They insist that they want their country’s money spent at home, on them. They do not want their money used to underwrite Hezbollah, the Assad regime in Syria and Hamas’s regime in Gaza. In other words, they don’t want to make war with Israel – or, presumably Saudi Arabia.
Their criticism is on point.
In 2016, flush with cash from liar-nObama’s nuclear deal, Iran quadrupled its support of Hezbollah from $200 million to $800m. per year.
In 2012 Iran cut off its funding to Hamas in retaliation for Hamas’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood against Iran’s Syrian proxy President Bashar Assad. In the wake of liar-nObama’s nuclear deal, Iran became Hamas’s largest financier.
Last August, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar said that Iran is Hamas’s “largest backer financially and militarily.”
The $100 billion in sanctions relief Iran received in the wake of the nuclear deal enabled the regime to give hundreds of millions of additional dollars each year to its proxy militias and armies in Iraq, Yemen and Syria.
It is self-evident that if the protesters get their way and the ayatollahs are overthrown, that money would stop flowing to Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and the Shi’ite militias in Iraq. Instead, that money, and billions more, would be spent developing Iran.
There are many ways that the nations of the world can help the protesters in Iran. The US and Iran’s other targets can expose the financial corruption in the Islamic Republic, including the bank account information of everyone from Supreme Dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei down to local Basij commanders. They can broadcast anti-regime information into Iran through multiple platforms outside the regime’s control. They can bypass the regime and unblock Twitter, Facebook, Telegraph and other social media platforms.
Aside from that, the Trump administration can take immediate steps to constrain even further the regime’s access to the international monetary system and force European and US firms to cancel their multi-billion dollar deals with the regime.
There are many reasons to fear that the protests will fail to achieve their goal of overthrowing the regime. The regime is already sending its forces out to repress the protesters through killing and mass arrests.
But even if the protesters’ prospects of success are small, there is no excuse for not supporting them, as constructively, enthusiastically and unconditionally as possible. There is certainly no excuse for working to preserve liar-nObama’s foreign policy legacy at the expense of a popular uprising that has the potential to avert a world war.
