The professional party apparatus, ie. Team Clinton, just gave the Bernie supporters the biggest F.U. so far in Philadelphia.

After the DNC locked the doors so hundreds of Team Bernie supporters could not get in to attend the rules meeting, and after locking out media during the discussion, an effort to fully eliminate superdelegates in future elections failed.

A delegate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders offered an amendment to get rid of superdelegates (party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention).

Sanders supporters accurately identified it was superdelegates who gave Hillary Clinton too much of an advantage in their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

However, the party power structure will not allow such efforts.  The amendment was defeated by a rules committee vote of 108-58.  Although it earned enough support to force a floor vote at the convention should Team Bernie do so.

Following the vote, the media was allowed back in to witness, the Rules Committee subsequently voted down several other compromise amendments; including measures: to give superdelegates one-tenth of a vote each, ban lobbyists from being superdelegates, and bar superdelegates from voting on the convention’s first ballot.  They all failed.

Political Islam is fraught with coded messaging used to convey intention to Islamic audiences while simultaneously presenting a false face to the West.  When you know what signals to look for you are able to fully understand the ideology behind the message.
When Mohammed Morsi rose to power in Egypt his rise was on the back of the Muslim Brotherhood.  The “Islamist Spring” brought forth a more radical version of Islamic sentiment – The Muslim Brotherhood, or just “Brotherhood”, is the political branch of various hardline Islamic ideologies.

The foundational ideological block under ISIS, al-Qaeda and Al Nusra, is the Muslim Brotherhood.   The Brotherhood has its own signature; and when you know what to look for you can identify its appearance.
Islamist activists, and demonstrators hold four fingers in the air to display a hand sign referring to the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, the site of a violent confrontation between Morsi’s followers and the Egyptian army.
Reported deaths from the clash range from hundreds to thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters. In Arabic, “Rabba” means “four” or “the fourth;” hence the Rabaa symbol.

Some opinion writers have surmised a possibility that Recep Erdogan created the coup in Turkey as a method to smoke out his opposition and exert even more dictatorial power.  Having watched the events closely (5 years) which lead up to the coup attempt, we disagree.
All indications are the coup was genuine, albeit a long-shot, driven by the younger military leadership who remained guardians of the state after two years of Erdogan purging the top level generals.

Ideologically, Recep Erdogan has been working earnestly over the past 5+ years to extend his power and control.  Erdogan has grandiose plans of rebuilding a modern Ottoman Empire with himself as the figurehead in control.
The fortuitous crisis in Syria evolved into a tool for Erdogan to expand his constituency, and the influx of 3 million non-secular conservative Muslims as refugees into Turkey was part of that dynamic.
Erdogan’s ideological outlook can be captured when you look at the 2015 decision to give safe refuge to five Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leaders who were living in exile in Qatar and evicted after the Gulf States pressured Qatar to stop supporting extremist terrorists.  Erdogan promised the Muslim Brotherhood safe harbor in Turkey and he gave it to them.

The latest Islamic Jihad attack against Western values took place yesterday in Nice, France.  Eye witnesses have reported the driver of the truck specifically targeted families with children, steering into them for maximum Jihadist terror value.  At least 80 men, women and children have been slaughtered.

Two weeks before yesterday, the attack location was an Istanbul Turkey, airport.  Last month it was an Orlando, Florida, nightclub.  In the month prior it was Brussels, and before that San Bernardino, and before that Paris, and before that, well, you get the picture… (more…)

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  The professional political class support themselves beyond all other ideological factors. These are modern realities.

President Obama is in a very tenuous position this week as a nation has been stunned by the targeting of police officers.  Indeed, there is a solid argument to be made that President Obama created the antagonism toward law enforcement with various speeches and cursory accusations of unequal treatment.
As a modern social justice president who embraces radical extremist groups like Black Lives Matter, and as an executive community activist who has used the cabinet offices of his administration to leverage social change, President Obama has embraced many divisive entities and expressed ideological alignment with their cause.
The gunman in Dallas who targeted white police officers, specifically because of the color of their skin, is just one visible consequence from a President who rails against a system of law and order.  Obama’s ideology is more comfortable amid the chaos.  (more…)

Unbelievable, President Obama needs to get his Black Lives Matter crew under control quickly… Things are rapidly spiraling out of control.
LAKESHIRE • A former Affton High School football standout forced his way into a South County home and was shot and killed by an off-duty officer inside after a Facebook dispute over Black Lives Matter apparently boiled over late Saturday afternoon.
That’s what can be pieced together from the accounts of police and an uncle of Tyler Gebhard, who said the young man had been struggling with mental health issues.
“He walked over there and into a gunfight,” Gebhard’s uncle, Patrick Brogan said, drawing on accounts offered by friends of his nephew. “When he got there, he was met with a gun and the guy killed him.”  (more…)

Dallas Police Chief David Brown was interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper today and discussed, at length, the attack against police in Dallas.

You will probably not see much discussion of this in the Western, especially U.S. media, however Austria has announced they are overturning the May 22nd election result and will now hold a new presidential election.

The Freedom Party (nationalist/conservative) candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens Party (globalist/liberal), Alexander Van der Bellen, by 30,863 votes (less than one percentage point).  The election will now be re-run.
In between the prior vote (May) and the decision to hold a new vote (July) a reasonable person cannot avoid noticing/referencing the Brexit vote (June). Now Austria will get a do-over, absent of the fraud, and with it an opportunity for self determination.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll continue to repeat it, watch how deep and entrenched the financial tentacles of Wall Street Globalists are amid the DC politburo.  There is an entire construct of professional political operatives intent on doing the bidding of the Donohue Clan despite the electorate being opposed to it.

Arizona Senator Jeff Flake (Gang of Eight Immigration ↑ usurper, Wall Street Operative and foot soldier for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) tells Business Insider that congress needs to ignore the voters, defy the will of their constituency, and just pass the Trans-Pacific Trade deal.

[Via Business Insider] The agreement is expected to be put before Congress during the lame-duck session after the election. It’s the critical piece of President Barack Obama’s “pivot to Asia” in foreign policy.

[…]  Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake told Business Insider during a Wednesday interview that Congress is going to have to “suck up” and ratify the agreement because it simply must be done, even in the face of hostile opposition to trade along the campaign trail.

A 27-year old Londoner explains why they voted to exit the European Union, including the backlash and social climate.  The entire article is well worth reading – Excerpt:
[…]  I believe the E.U. is a fascist, racist organization, a pro-war alliance and a massive corporate lobby. The EU’s own propaganda spells out its xenophobic worldview very clearly.
The following advert from 2012 shows a white woman dressed similarly to the violent protagonist in Tarantino’s movie, Kill Bill, walking into a deserted warehouse where she is threatened by 3 insulting stereotypes: an Asian martial arts expert, a sword-yielding, flying man in a turban, and a half-naked black man threatening her with his capoeira moves.
She replicates herself all around them so they are surrounded by 12 of her, thus ‘civilising the violent barbarians’ who then sit down to negotiate before they disappear, encircled by the 12 stars of the European Union – watch it here if you don’t believe me:

[…] In my opinion, immigration should occur at a speed that the majority of the existing population, wherever they were originally from, is happy with. Elected governments should be held completely accountable to the people, which can only happen in a sovereign state with a true democracy.
