WHAT DOES BREXIT REALLY MEAN TO ORDINARY AMERICANS?

In my humble opinion …

esd

BREXIT: the British Exit from the European Union is little more than another opportunity for the world’s elite financiers to roil the financial markets; to create the type of turbulence that allows the to capitalize on media-manufactured fears to take money from your pocket and to put it into theirs. People like George Soros and companies like Goldman Sachs that make massive bets on currency movements and the re-evaluation of bonds and equities based not upon values, but on political consideration.

In a practical sense, it means taking control from faceless bureaucrats in Brussels and returning control and responsibility to local politicians. A chance for England to control their borders to eliminate the omnipresent threat of Muslim violence, chaos, and a takeover.

It means a narrow repudiation of the type of open borders nonsense that threatens to see mass Muslim immigration into Europe with the stated purpose of overwhelming and destroying civil and federal instructions and infrastructure.

Article 50 – Treaty on European Union (TEU)  

  1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.
  2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.
  3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.
  4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it.
    A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
  5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49.  <source>

Why BREXIT is a GOOD THING …

Watch this video and consider how Congress and the Obama Administration operates. You will notice that the EU has zero input from ordinary people, only corrupt and self-serving politicians and bureaucrats participate. This is the model of the United Nations and was the beginning of the New World Order of Globalism.

Bottom line …

JC

For me, BREXIT was Jeremy Clarkson being sacked by the BBC over his antics on Top Gear. No more, no less. Ask yourself why some of our stocks – with no exposure to Europe are fluctuating wildly except for the manipulation of the Wall Street Wizards?

HOW OBJECTIVE IS DICK MORRIS' POLITICAL COMMENTARY WHEN IT COMES TO TRUMP?

Clinton’s consigliere and Hillary-hater Dick Morris used to produce some amazing insights into the political process and the mechanics and meandering of politicians. Now I am wondering if Dick Morris has not jointed Team Trump and now reaping the benefits of such an association?

dm-b

And, it appears he has an association with one of Trump’s favorite “news outlets,” the National Enquirer, the slimeballs that deliberately smeared the constitutional conservative Ted Cruz …

dm1

dm2

dm3

Others are apparently thinking the same thing …

Before Donald Trump’s campaign was derailed by his racist attacks on a federal judge, the GOP nominee was surprisingly disciplined in his attacks on Hillary Clinton. His chief strategy: recycling the scandals of the 1990s. Now, even as Trump is doubling down on his rants about the judge, it appears he’s not entirely given up on his original plan. According to two sources with direct knowledge of the talks, the Trump campaign is in discussions with Dick Morris, the former Clinton adviser turned Clinton nemesis, about joining the campaign as a strategist. Morris would “join the Hillary unit,” one source explained. “It’s on the table,” a senior Trump adviser added. “Some of the most important info about the Clintons is 20 years old.”

Still, there are signs that Morris has been moving into the Trump orbit this campaign season. In recent days, the National Enquirer, which has been a loud pro-Trump outlet, named Morris its “chief political commentator.” And Morris has told people he’s been a longtime acquaintance of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Morris has been looking for a high-profile perch since being dropped by Fox News in 2013. <Source>

Bottom line …

As we saw with former President Clinton, Dick Morris is a manipulator and dirty trickster with few ethics and a penchant for hating Hillary. The Karl Rove of his time. Now I am deeply suspicious of all that he says regarding the campaign and Trump’s viability against Hillary Clinton and the possibility of a Clinton/Warren or Biden/Warren ticket.

With Trump being surrounded by bottom feeders like Roger Stone and the toe-sucking whore-hound Dick Morris, one actually wonders if Trump would bring these slimeballs into the White House as advisors? Perhaps mounting a dirty tricks political campaign against his enemies à la Hillary Clinton. From my perspective, Trump’s populist appeal and progressive-style politics might just be the undoing of our nation.

We are so screwed.

TRUMP'S SPEECH: A MEDIA NOTHINGBURGER

tr

Once again Donald Trump took to the podium to deliver another boring speech, filled with platitudes, attack sound-bites, sniffles, and zero substance. Absolutely a waste of time as the “Make America Great Again” candidate said nothing about our constitution, liberty, freedom or the corrupt socialist unions that represent one of the greatest threats to jobs in America. It was all about how Hillary is the worst person on the planet and all he needs to do is be the anti-Hillary. While he rails about the cameramen not showing the large audience, the setting appeared to be tightly controlled and stage-managed. The same cheering and “yeah” could be heard time and time again – almost as if they were looped-in to the sound track. It was almost comical to watch the Obama-Stevie Wonder head movements as he was reading from a TelePrompTer. 

Never before have we seen a candidate who repeats the same thing over and over and never seems to grasp the substance and details of any major policy. Combined with a shrinking purse and a reluctance to pump his own money into the campaign, Trump is a pathetic excuse for a presidential candidate. Sad to say it, there is nothing there but bombast and bloviating.

Bottom line …

trump-political-apprentice-image

Another attack speech for the sole purpose of dominating the news cycle with sound-bites. You would think that at some point in time, he might go back and separate the celebrity posturing out of the campaign. But, then again, what would be left is the political apprentice.

This is the type of cut-and-paste speech that could be compiled from any survey of Hillary Clinton’s failings. Nothing new, move along. In fact, the speech is likely to desensitize voters to the real negatives that impair Clinton’s ability to serve as the President and Commander-in-Chief.

The GOP, in their zeal to preserve their establishment power and access to funds, turned their back on the only constitutional conservative in the race – and perhaps the most honest man on the podium. So I say it is up the the GOP to clean their own house before the progressive socialist democrats clean our clocks.

DONALD TRUMP AND THE SNAKE

Many a truth is told in jest …

Perhaps the best response is my own poem ...

We knew what Barack Obama was;

and the media covered it up.

We knew what Hillary Clinton was;

and the media covered it up.

We can see what Donald Trump is;

and the media played it up.

A progressive fraud, cheat, and liar was elected;

and I was the one who threw up.

ELECTION 2016: NOTHING NEW HERE EXCEPT UNPRECEDENTED CORRUPTION ...

REVO

America is at a crossroad, with a number of seemingly new ideas emerging to challenge the old guard. Clinging to the mantra of protecting America's safety, security, and middle class, many politicians are now attempting to position themselves as being post-partisan and willing to do what is best for ALL the people; even though they are running on a party platform. The media is just beginning to recognize that the political landscape appears to have been altered by the introduction of "non-politician" Donald Trump into the race.

All over the nation, the Internet, satellite, cable television, and mobile media, the word is being spread that the game has changed and that traditional regulatory and law enforcement agencies need to respond with a new paradigm. But it is all hogwash -- nothing has changed except the level of corruption and corrupt politicians that are being promoted by both political parties.

  • The progressive socialist democrats want to talk about gun control and disarming law-abiding citizens while they enable Iran to get Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, Nuclear Weapons, and conventional arms to continue state-sponsored terrorism.
  • The progressive socialist democrats want to talk about right-wing terrorists while they import Muslims with their toxic ideology into the United States
  • The progressive socialist democrats want to talk about closing nonexistent gun show loopholes while the ATF is actively providing weapons to the Mexican drug cartels.
  • The progressive socialist democrats want to talk about the constitutional guarantees of the First Amendment while they enable CAIR, a radical propaganda operation of the Muslim Brotherhood.
  • The progressive socialist democrats want to talk about LGBT issues while they pour billions of foreign aid into countries that openly kill homosexuals.
  • The progressive socialist democrats want you to obey the law while they openly condone illegal aliens, identity theft, and the fraud associated with bilking social services.

Bottom line ..

The progressive socialist democrats want to do everything to distract you from understanding exactly how bad they have failed the United States of America and all Americans.

BILL WHITTLE ASKS WHAT’S WRONG WITH OBAMA WHEN IT COMES TO WORLDWIDE TERROR …

Firewall’s Bill Whittle wonders why President Barack Hussein Obama does not tell the truth about violent and radical Islam and their practice of jihad around the world. Only four things come to mind: Obama is secretly a Muslim, Muslim Sympathizer, or is part of the Black Muslim movement in Chicago; Obama wants Muslim money to feather his nest, foundation, and library; Obama wants to become the Secretary General of the United Nations where an anti-America, anti-White, anti-democracy resume is a plus; or Obama is a coward and afraid to speak out. Anyone else has another idea, I am willing to listen and consider your viewpoint.

WARNING: this video is not suitable for younger children or progressive socialist democrats with weak stomachs or who live in Obama’s fairyland …

Bottom line ...

By his very actions, President Obama and his fellow travelers have made America and ALL Americans,  both here and abroad, less safe.  And, it appears that a Clinton Presidency will be as corrupt , disingenuous, and dangerous as the Obama Administration.

We are so screwed.

HILLARY CLINTON 2016: THE BIG IDEA?

Folks, this is a blog post that almost didn’t get written because I was laughing so hard. The world’s smallest socialist has come up with a way for Hillary Clinton to fend off the populism of Donald Trump …

RREICH

Robert Reich Has a Big, Urgent Idea for Hillary—Will She Listen? -- She needs a big idea that gives her candidacy a purpose and rationale.

By Robert Reich / RobertReich.org

If Donald Trump continues to implode, Hillary Clinton will win simply by being the presidential candidate who isn’t Trump.

But the prospect of a President Trump is so terrifying that Hillary shouldn’t take any chances. The latest match-up polls show her about 6 points ahead – a comfortable but not sure-fire margin.

What else can she offer other than that she’s also experienced and would be the first woman to hold the job?

So far, she’s put forth a bunch of respectable policy ideas. But they’re small relative to the economic problems most Americans face and to Americans’ overwhelming sense the nation is off track.

She needs a big idea that gives her candidacy a purpose and rationale – and, if she’s elected president, a mandate to get something hugely important done.

What could that big idea be? I can think of several big economic proposals. The problem is they couldn’t get through Congress – even if, as now seems possible, Democrats retake the Senate.

Nor, for that matter, could Hillary’s smaller ideas get through.

Which suggests a really big idea – an idea that’s the prerequisite for every other one, an idea that directly addresses what’s disturbing so many Americans today – an idea that, if she truly commits herself to it, would even reassure voters about Hillary Clinton herself.

The big idea I’m talking about is democracy.

Everyone knows our democracy is drowning under big money. Confidence in politics has plummeted, and big money as the major culprit.

Meanwhile, the revolving door between Wall Street, on the one side, and the White House and Treasury, on the other, is swiveling faster than ever.

Clinton should focus her campaign on reversing all of this. For a start, she should commit to nominating Supreme Court justices who will strike down “Citizen’s United,” the 2010 Supreme Court case that opened the big-money floodgates far wider.

She should also fight for public financing of general elections for president and for congress – with government matching small-donor contributions made to any candidate who agrees to abide by overall spending limits on large-donor contributions.

She should demand full disclosure of all sources of campaign funding, regardless of whether those funds are passed through non-profit organizations or through corporate entities or both.

And she should slow the revolving door – committing to a strict two-year interval between high-level government service and lobbying or corporate jobs, and a similarly interval between serving as a top executive or director of a major Wall Street bank and serving at a top level position in the executive branch.

Will Hillary Clinton make restoring democracy her big idea? When she announced her candidacy she said “the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top” and that she wants to be the “champion” of “everyday Americans.” 

The best way to ensure everyday Americans get a fair deal is to make our democracy work again.

Source: Robert Reich Has a Big, Urgent Idea for Hillary—Will She Listen? | Alternet

Bottom line …

This is frickin unbelievable. The level of hypocrisy is staggering.

The socialist troll is telling Hillary to play the class warfare card by bringing up campaign financing transparency and limitations as he continues to demonize the very Wall Street that paid Hillary over a hundred million for speeches she is afraid to release.

His prescription of showing contributions, especially retroactively, might send Hillary to prison for selling her honor and office to the highest bidder and using the Clinton Foundation  as a galactic money-laundering machine.

This is the type of campaign that would cede the White House to Trump, if he could stop talking so much and laughing so hard.

But then again, the progressive socialist democrats and the people who would support a massively corrupt lying criminal like Hillary Clinton are dumb enough to believe this crap.

As I said, unbelievable!

WHY DEMOCRATS CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO NEGOTIATE UNION CONTRACTS ...

I remember a powerful union member standing up to remind candidates that if they opposed the union, the union would cease providing funds to their campaigns or fund a challenger. The perfect extortion scheme to insure that the public has no place at the bargaining table and that only unions and their hand-picked representatives are present. With many politicians thinking that it is only taxpayer funds and I need to get elected or reelected.

politicalcorruption

So why am I not surprised that common sense protections for the taxpayers are not pursued?

New California law enforcement contract has ‘fitness’ loophole -- Physical fitness pay made pensionable; physical testing requirement eliminated

Gov. Jerry Brown, the architect of stiffer public pension laws three years ago, has again reached a state labor agreement that uses an accounting trick to add money to some state employees’ retirement accounts.

The tentative contract with the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association:

1. Eliminates the requirement that covered employees pass fitness tests to receive a $65 monthly physical-fitness incentive payment.

2. Rolls the $65 a month into base pay.

3. Makes the $780 per year pensionable income – and subject to future bargained pay raises.

The California Correctional Peace Officers Association negotiated a similar provision into its new contract in April.

The CSLEA represents about 7,200 employees, from park rangers, game wardens and CHP dispatchers to Justice Department investigators, dairy inspectors and Alcoholic Beverage Control agents.

Source: New California law enforcement contract has ‘fitness’ loophole | The Sacramento Bee

Problems?

Physical fitness to perform your high-risk job should be a condition of employment, not a paid benefit nor a pension enhancer.

Front-line responders (police and fire) should be separated from those who perform desk work or those who serve in less challenging positions.

Any politician or appointee that has received funding from unions should be recused from negotiations sand voting due to a fundamental and unresolvable conflict of interest.

Bottom line …

Enough with the fiction that politicians are looking out for their constituents when historically they appear to look out for themselves and the special interests that fund their campaigns. To believe that politicians are honest, ethical, and willing to put the needs of their constituents over their own self-interests is to believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy as comprising a progressive committee on diversity.

It is time to institute legislative reforms including third-party audits of the finances of public officials and political appointees – including a post-office period of ten years. Friends and family members might also be screened if they received funding from any entity controlled by the politician or by vendors who had business under official consideration. Tough and it might discourage future public citizens? You bet. Look at the crop of politicians we have now and consider how it can be any more corrupt. It is also time for mandated jail sentences with no plea or cooperation agreements.

Our city, state, and nation are dying under the burden of political corruption. Ask yourself how the two political parties could have promoted such corrupt candidates? One look at Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump should convince you that something is wrong and that the establishment ruling class and their special interests are destroying our nation.,

We are so screwed.

SINCE WHEN IS APPLE ABOUT TIM COOK’S SEXUAL PREFERENCES AND PROGRESSIVE POLITICS?

If Tim Cook hasn’t noticed, Apple is a corporation that owes a fiduciary duty to its shareholders and anything which can prejudice any government against Apple’s business policies and practices may not be a good thing. So instead of being the iconic gay business leader, perhaps he should be the business leader who happens to be gay. So why is Tim Cook and his cohorts deliberately giving the finger to the Republicans – with a more than likely chance that they may become the next Administration and take a closer look at Apple’s business practices?

It is enough that Apple’s cache and sales – based on design rather than innovation – may become a thing of the past as computing becomes commoditized in a cloud that only requires a minimal footprint and browser to take advantage of powerful systems.

Apple won't aid GOP convention over Trump

Apple has told Republican leaders it will not provide funding or other support for the party’s 2016 presidential convention, as it's done in the past, citing Donald Trump’s controversial comments about women, immigrants and minorities.

Unlike Facebook, Google and Microsoft, which have all said they will provide some support to the GOP event in Cleveland next month, Apple decided against donating technology or cash to the effort, according to two sources familiar with the iPhone maker’s plans.

Apple’s political stand against Trump, communicated privately to Republicans, is a sign of the widening schism between Silicon Valley and the GOP’s bombastic presumptive nominee. Trump has trained his rhetorical fire on the entire tech industry, but he's singled out Apple for particular criticism -- calling for a boycott of the company's products, and slamming CEO Tim Cook, over Apple's stance on encryption.

Source: Apple won't aid GOP convention over Trump - POLITICO

About the encryption issue …

I firmly believe that Tim Cook was absolutely correct in withholding Apple’s engineering resources to create a tool to allow the FBI to crack the Riverside Terrorist’s iPhone. First, because it was the bumbling FBI that made the phone inaccessible in the first place by fiddling with passwords. Second, because the FBI was disingenuous about attempting to set a legal precedent that could be used to force any company to build tools to assist the FBI in cracking any and all electronic devices. Three, because the FBI found an alternative source to provide the technical support they originally sought from Apple – and appear to be sharing it with numerous other law enforcement agencies with similar device encryption issues. But, most of all, there was little to learn from the device itself, and there was a well-founded suspicion that the FBI was orbiting the area using a sniffer to hoover-up all manner of electronic communications.

Trump on the other had is a bloviating billionaire bully boy who appears to be a progressive socialist democrat masquerading as a republican. His ego-centric worldview and bizarre pronouncements make him unfit for the Office of the President and the role of Commander-in-Chief. Trump is no techie and his command of technical issues is probably limited to Tweeting.

Bottom line …

I hope that Tim Cook will concentrate on the massive job of making Apple relevant in these fast-paced technological times and leave the social engineering and so-called “justice”  politics to the lobbyists who work both sides of the aisle.

ATTORNEY GENERAL LYNCH: LYING TO AMERICA BY CENSORING THE NEWS? (UPDATED) FBI PROTECTING TERRORISTS FROM ADVERSE PUBLIC OPINION

UPDATED:

House Speaker Paul Ryan called on the Obama administration Monday to "release the full, unredacted transcript" of the Orlando massacre gunman’s 911 calls, slamming the Justice Department’s censoring of all references to Islam as "preposterous."

The redacted transcripts of Omar Mateen’s calls to Orlando Police — made during his assault on the Pulse gay nightclub — included Mateen’s claim of responsibility, as well as identifying himself to police as an Islamic soldier. All other references to ISIS or Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi were scrubbed clean by the Justice Department.

"I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted]," Mateen told the dispatcher.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ron Hopper defended the deletions. "[Mateen] does not represent the religion of Islam, but a perverted view," Hopper said, later adding: "Part of the redacting is meant to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist attacks in the past. We're not gonna propagate their violent rhetoric."  <Source>

Notice the Christian word God has been used to replace Allah – which is a crime under Sharia law. Since when is it up to the American government to officially lie to the American people and a senior FBI Agent to justify those lies? For Agent Hopper to publicly mischaracterize the words of the terrorists for political advantage proves that he is unfit for his duties and should be removed from his position.  Under Hopper’s thesis, one could posit that Jesus Christ did not represent Christianity since he was Jewish and Christianity was promulgated by his followers after his death. It is ludicrous to believe that the government has the right to tamper with the public record in this manner.

But then again, the Obama Administration has been known to provide aid and comfort to terrorist nations while disparaging and disadvantaging our allies.

Original Post …

Once again a high-ranking member of the Obama Administration follows in the footsteps of President Obama, Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice in believing the end justifies the means – including lying to the American public in such a manner as to prevent well-reasoned decision-making.  doij

Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch has announced that the government will release only a partial transcript of the Orlando shooter’s 911 calls. What will be removed are the references to Islamic terrorism and the shooter’s motivation in his own words …

Meet the Press - June 19, 2016

 

LORETTA LYNCH: What we're announcing tomorrow is that the FBI is releasing a partial transcript of the killer's calls with law enforcement, from inside the club. These are the calls with the Orlando PD negotiating team, who he was, where he was... that will be coming out tomorrow and I'll be headed to Orlando on Tuesday.

CHUCK TODD: Including the hostage negotiation part of this?

LORETTA LYNCH: Yes, it will be primarily a partial transcript of his calls with the hostage negotiators.

CHUCK TODD: You say partial, what's being left out?

LORETTA LYNCH: What we're not going to do is further proclaim this man's pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda.

CHUCK TODD: We're not going to hear him talk about those things?

LORETTA LYNCH: We will hear him talk about some of those things, but we are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance and that. It will not be audio, it will be a printed transcript. But it will begin to capture the back and forth between him and the negotiators, we're trying to get as much information about this investigation out as possible. As you know, because the killer is dead, we have a bit more leeway there and we will be producing that information tomorrow. <Source>

Bottom line …

It is time that the progressive socialist democrats stop treating America citizens like children and pre-digesting the news in such a manner as befits the pursuit of their own agenda. Why does it matter that the Orlando shooter was a gay Muslim or a registered democrat who voted for Barack Obama twice or declared his allegiance to a foreign terrorist organization?  Pretty much because it indicates that this “mass shooting” is an aberrational event and does not support the Administration’s attempt to capitalize on this crisis to pursue gun control.

If the truth be known, looking at FBI statistics, would make a case for disarming only minority gang members in the inner cities and leaving the great majority of law-abiding citizens alone. But, it appears that the Obama Administration cannot tell the truth to the American public for fear of looking predatory and foolish.

It is about time that the Obama Department of Justice be held accountable for the ongoing attempts to criminally obstruct justice by slow-walking investigations such as “Fast and Furious,” the “IRS scandal,” “Benghazi,” and the attempt to stack the department with anti-America ideologues who appear to be bending over backwards to provide aid and comfort to our enemies when it comes to Gitmo and other investigations involving terrorists.

We are so screwed when our government believes that telling us that they are lying or have lied bring no accountability to the perpetrators of those acts. It appears that Congress is afraid of acting lest the members be held accountable in their districts by the activists who will target them as being racist.

When will “We the People” demand accountability from our politicians or will we continue accepting corruption and continue sliding towards a French-style revolution in 2050 when all semblance of law and order is merely a cover for political tyranny?
