Vets Slam Elizabeth Warren For Prioritizing
Illegal Aliens Over U.S. Veterans
by TK Whiteman
{lidblog.com} ~ The internet-based vets advocacy group Veterans Assisting Veterans have taken aim at a number of Massachusetts politicians and the senior senator from Arizona, but specifically Sen. Elizabeth Warren for what they see as her... “‘selfish political theater’ and demanding they put veterans’ services at the top of their list — or feel the heat.” According to John MacDonald of Veterans Assisting Veterans (VAV), “We’d like to see our leaders re-examine their priorities, put this at the forefront — if we have to, we’ll knock on some doors in D.C.” MacDonald added, “We need to take care of veterans first before we decide to take care of people who are illegally here.” As reported by Dan Atkinson of the Boston Herald, VAV has issued a two-page open letter to “all Americans,” but specifically asking Massachusetts politicos U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, U.S. Reps. Michael Capuano and Seth Moulton — himself an Iraq war veteran — and Mayor Martin J. Walsh why are they “failing to speak out about veteran homelessness and health care problems.”...

Palestinians: Why a
"Regional Peace Process" Will Fail
by Khaled Abu Toameh
by Khaled Abu Toameh
Palestinian leaders would rather have France, Sweden, Norway
and Belgium oversee a peace process with Israel
than any of the Arab countries
{gatestoneinstitute.org| ~ Here is a fundamental misapprehension: Arab countries can help achieve peace in the Middle East by persuading, or rather pressuring, the Palestinians to make concessions to Israel... This misapprehension is both misleading and baseless. Recently, officials in Israel and Washington started talking about a "regional approach" to solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this view, as many Arab countries as possible would be directly involved in the effort to achieve a lasting and comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. Advocates of the "regional approach" believe that Arab countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have enough leverage with the Palestinians to compel them accept a peace agreement with Israel. The Palestinians, however, were quick to dismiss the idea as yet another American-Israeli-Arab "conspiracy to "liquidate" their cause and force them to make unacceptable concessions. Chief among these "unacceptable concessions" are recognizing Israel as a Jewish state and giving up the demand for a "right of return" for millions of Palestinian refugees into Israel... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9983/regional-peace-process

Entire Administration Turns Down
J Street Anti-Israel Group
by Daniel Greenfield
{frontpagemag.com} ~ Anti-Israel hate group J Street tried to get someone, anyone, from the current administration to come to its Israel-bashing fest... While in the past the Soros-funded hate group had been able to count on a star roster of liar-nObama people, this time they've been turned down by everyone at the White House. Even the janitor. Instead the star of the hatefest will be Bernie Sanders, who backed Jesse Jackson despite his anti-Semitic slurs, and who lied and claimed that Israel had killed 10,000 people. Joining the senile Socialist will be fresh blood like Nancy Pulosi and Jan Schakowsky. Also assorted representatives of the PLO terror state. http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/265938/entire-administration-turns-down-j-street-anti-daniel-greenfield

Supports Abolishing Second Amendment –
DNC Deputy Ellison Caught Lying
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The automatic default for black racists like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Rep Keith Ellison (D-MN) when they’re caught in a lie is to first deny and then claim that they were taken out of context... That’s the technique that was utilized by Ellison, now the DNC deputy chairman, in their Wednesday night debate. Ellison is asked by a friendly CNN moderator, Dana Bash, about comments he made on the topic of gun control. She reads, “In 2014 you told Bill Maher that you wished the Democrat Party would come out against the Second Amendment. How do you reach out to Americans who support gun rights when you don’t support the Second Amendment?” For some unknown reason Ellison gets a goofy grin on his face before she even completes the question and attempts to start his false answer early. He says, “First of all let me tell you, and I remember that show very well and that is not what I said at all.” Pay attention folks, this is what Ellison looks like when he’s telling a bald-faced lie. He continues, “What I talked about is my grandfather’s shotgun, the fact that I am a turkey hunter, and I didn’t say that. That was not an accurate statement.”... http://rickwells.us/supports-abolishing-second-amendment-dnc-deputy-ellison-caught-lying/

Trump To Target Huge Cuts At EPA, State Dept,
Climate Hoax To Fund Military Revival
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Since the whole climate change scam was a global government hoax to insert the UN into a controlling position over the domestic affairs of every nation on the planet and we now have a President who isn’t in cahoots with the UN in trying to destroy our country... it’s only logical to cut the waste there as a means of funding the resuscitation of our military. What was used as a tool to siphon off cash to cripple our military capabilities can now be cut as a means of rehabilitation. President Trump is expected to demand major cuts to one of the two most hated and abusive agencies in the federal government, the Environmental Protection Agency as well as one of the most chronically corrupt, wasteful and opulent, the Department of State. The planet is not really attacking us, as the scammer who used to reside in the White House and his accomplices Gina McCarthy and John hanoi-Kerry used to claim. Those were just scare tactics to manipulate their hands into the treasury so they could throw money away on climate crap and in the direction of their cronies... http://rickwells.us/trump-target-huge-cuts-epa-state-dept-climate-hoax-fund-military-revival/

Would You Want Your Vaccine
Produced by Supporters of Jihad?
by Judith Bergman
by Judith Bergman
Denmark's Statens Serum Institut (State Serum Institute)
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Would you want your vaccines produced by a Saudi company that supports jihad? Danes, it seems, may have no choice.
Denmark recently sold its state-owned vaccine manufacturing facility to a conglomerate owned by the Aljomaih Group, a Saudi family dynasty led by Sheikh AbdulAziz Hamad Aljomaih. The sheikh is also the largest single stockholder and chairman of Arcapita Bank, formerly First Islamic Investment Bank headquartered in Bahrain. As an Islamic bank, it has a so-called Sharia Supervisory Board comprised of Islamic scholars, who ensure that the bank's activities comply with sharia (Islamic law).
Former Islamic judge and leading Islamic scholar Taqi Usmani, who sits on the bank's Sharia Board, in his book, "Islam and Modernism", writes ruminations such as: "Aggressive Jihad is lawful even today... Its justification cannot be veiled..."
Usami had also, after Danish newspapers reprinted the Mohammad cartoons in 2008, co-signed an appeal to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), urging it to boycott Denmark:
"If the Danish government does not declare the publication of shameful and blasphemous cartoons as a criminal act, the OIC should appeal to all Islamic nations for a trade boycott of that bigoted country".
Equally noteworthy is that the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yussuf al-Qaradawi, used to sit on Arcapita's sharia board, until he eventually resigned. Qaradawi, already in 1995, told a Muslim Arab Youth Association convention in Toledo, Ohio, "We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America!" According to Qaradawi, sharia law should be introduced gradually, over a five-year period in a new country. Presumably, this gradually-introduced sharia legal system would include the end of free speech under "blasphemy laws", the denigration and oppression of women, such as women worth half as much as men in court, polygamy, the persecution of Jews (Qaradawi advocates killing all of them), beating wives as a way of "disciplining" them and so on. Only after this transition phase, sharia laws such as killing apostates and homosexuals, as well as chopping off hands for theft, would be introduced.
Given Qaradawi's former prominence in Arcapita, it hardly comes as a surprise that the bank has given financial support to the Muslim Brotherhood in Bahrain, known there as the Al Islah Society. According to a leaked report by former US Ambassador to Bahrain, Ambassador William T. Monroe:
"Arcapita reported giving a total $591,000 in 2003 and $583,000 in 2002 to a variety of charitable organizations... the Islamic Education Society (Al Tarbiya Al Islamiya - Sunni Salafi) and the Al Islah Society (Sunni Muslim Brotherhood) are the largest beneficiaries of Arcapita's charitable giving... We are aware of concerns linking Arcapita advisors and staff to questionable organizations."
In August 2016, the Danish government announced that it "...rejects any organization representing antidemocratic and radicalized environments" and considers the Muslim Brotherhood to be "deeply problematic" and something they "strongly reject".
Clearly not strongly enough.
"Selling the crucial manufacture of vaccines to an ideologically hostile country, which might -- for whatever reason -- suddenly decide to shut down production, does not sound like a good idea. Those who say that the Saudis are merely interested in profit, just like everybody else, should know better", Rachel Ehrenfeld, an expert on the financing of terrorism, told Ekstra Bladet.
Virtually all political parties supported the Danish government's sale of its vaccine manufacturing facility to the Saudi conglomerate. This is strange, given the recent history of Danish-Saudi relations.
After the publication of the Danish Mohammad cartoons in 2006, Saudis boycotted Danish goods. Saudi Arabia's religious leader, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheik, demanded that the Danish government hold Jyllands-Posten, the newspaper that printed the Mohammad cartoons, to account and force the newspaper to give an apology: "The government should give the newspaper a fine as a deterrence. This is the least that Muslims should demand", he said.
Do Danish politicians really have such short memories?
Vaccines are not an easy commodity to come by. It takes minimum of six months for an order of vaccines to be delivered, but, according to the World Health Organization, delivery can also easily take up to two years.
Astonishingly, the Danish state has given the Aljomaih group an incredible start by promising to buy all its children's vaccines from the sheikh for the first 30 months. Only after that will Danish authorities be able to buy their children's vaccines elsewhere. The Danish government has also promised the Aljomaih group not to create new Danish state vaccine production for the first three years.
Should consumers not be able to trust a producer of something as critical as vaccines? How much trust are Danish consumers supposed to have in a Saudi owned conglomerate, which employs jihadists such as Usmani, which donates heavily to jihadist organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood, which in turn wants to bring about a caliphate? The potential for political exploitation is too evident to reject. Ekstra Bladet ran a poll on its website asking whether Danes were in favor or against the sale: 95% were against it.
Even more remarkable is that the government claims not to have known about the connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and Aljomaih; all the information is easily accessible on the internet.
Health Minister Ellen Trane Nørby has defended the sale: "We did not have several buyers to choose from. We have the buyer we have and it has saved 600 Danish jobs, which would otherwise have been lost".
Is she saying that the safety of Danish citizens is worth 600 jobs?
The sale of the Danish vaccine production facility to the Saudi conglomerate captures perfectly everything that is wrong with European politicians today: their apparent gullibility, their carelessness and their desire to sell out to places such as Saudi Arabia, seemingly without giving much thought to the long-term consequences.
