This is a great example of the current state, and competence, of American Journalism.  Worse yet, this example shows the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, didn’t even know what’s going on, and Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Kaine also joins the crew of the clueless.

CNN and The Washington Post are both making an absurd attack Donald Trump story out of the most simple and easy to prove claim.

Donald Trump said there was video (yes, that’s a screen grab of the video above), put out by Iran, showing the United States sending pallets of cash in exchange for U.S. hostages.

Trump stated the Iranian’s were using the video to “embarrass the President“.  The Washington Post and CNN jumped on the Trump statement and immediately decried it as ridiculous and set out to prove the claim false: (more…)

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…)

In an effort to prove how enlightened, cosmopolitan and multicultural they are as a progressive society – Canada has been accepting thousands of refugees from the Middle East. 
In honor of their superiority, today the upper-cloistered team gathered to celebrate a new era.  A modern era of North American rulers who decree their own enlightenment.

The Three Amigos Congratulate Each Other on Their Elite Magnanimity.

However,…

Faith Goldy of TheRebel.media began to hear reports of migrant children in various Canadian relocation areas who were abusing and bullying other students. So she set up a tip line ([email protected]) for parents to share what was going on.
Using that tip line, a New Brunswick parent told Faith Goldy there were migrant “children” at her child’s High School as old as 22.  These adult males “with full beards” are “hitting on the 14-15 year old girls.”
TheRebel.media then filed a Freedom of Information request to get to the bottom of the claim.  Over 2,700 documents came in, and more are on the way.  Emails between teachers reveal what’s going on in their classrooms, and what they say will shock you. (more…)

For many this boots-on-the-ground report might just change their perspective.  For others it may help to provide evidence of how full of lies the Western media has become.
Lauren Southern from The Rebel Media traveled to the Calais France refugee camp, famously called the Calais Jungle, to see for herself if Syrian refugees were actually there.  What she discovers/uncovers is the big refugee lie:

“America First” is the headline given to today’s Donald Trump foreign policy speech as delivered.  However, many pundits are automatically assigning that reference position to the prior non-interventionist approach held prior to WWII.  This projection is factually false.
“America First” is simply that, a view, a perspective, a filtering prism of consideration for the U.S. role in the world by first thinking strategically about our own national interests.

There’s big business, big money, and big economic globalist influence swirling around all matters of modern U.S. foreign policy.
Few people, and almost no-one in the world of corporate media punditry, really take the conversation high enough to grasp the ultimate ends of any military aspect to foreign policy.  Candidate Donald Trump is the first leader in our lifetime to grasp how economic interests have merged with, and infiltrated the engagement policies of, the U.S. military.
Secondly, the same corporate media who are entwined in the economics of globalization, have been selling a false narrative about Secretary Hillary Clinton.  According to the media Secretary Clinton’s strength is ‘foreign policy’; this is pure professional gaslighting.
Hillary Clinton is more vulnerable on her failed tenure as America’s top diplomat than any other aspect of her presidential bid. (more…)

How dare he.  Just, well, how dare he.  That’s the takeaway sense you get when you review the New York Times framing of a two hour ‘on-the-record’ interview with Donald Trump referencing a world-view and foreign policy outlook.
It is refreshing, and it is bizarre we can even use the word “refreshing“, to see an American candidate for the American Presidency, say their goal is to actually put America-first in all policy decisions.
It’s not protectionism, it’s patriotism.
It’s not isolationism, it’s common sense.
Almost all of Europe and most of Asia are capable of spending Trillions of dollars on their infrastructure, Airports, bullet-trains, high-speed rail, bridges, ‘Chunnels’, and the list goes on…. quite simply because they don’t spend much on their own national defense, and prefer to hide behind our military apron when needed.
To pay for this enomorus international military/police force, and overly generous commitment, we, in turn, put ourselves into debt and can’t spend on our own domestic needs.   This is not international economic theory, it’s a reality – and for the first time in decades a politician is saying enough is enough.   Charity begins at home!

Stunningly, Piers Morgan pens an Op-Ed in the Daily Mail today asking: ‘when are people going to begin listening to Donald Trump about Islamic Terrorism’ (link).  However, Morgan stops short of explaining why Trump’s proposals make more sense than anyone else.

For decades the Western World, and the U.S. specifically, have approached The Islamic Jihad as a problem the non-Islamic local and global community can solve. If only we can attract enough Muslim allies to join us in the ideological fight.

It doesn’t work.

The emphasis is on the wrong syllable.

It’s time for a reset.

In the run-up to the 2012 presidential election President Obama was quick to dismiss the growing threat of ISIS as a “junior varsity team”.

However, in 2016 with no reelection needed, a rather stark and somber forecast is delivered by the Department of National Intelligence head, James Clapper.

Prior to delivering testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, James Clapper submitted a summary of intelligence analytics describing the scope of threat. (more…)

There’s no way these media reports are accidental or not directly connected.  And none of this looks the least bit good against the larger dynamic of the Syrian crisis and President Stompy Feet’s prior position on ISIS.

Yesterday, well, actually Friday, the release of the information was yesterday, Vice-President Joe Biden met in Turkey with President Recep Erdogan.  They met for several hours as reported in The Hill and the topic was an escalated U.S./Turkish military footprint against ISIS :

Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday said the U.S. and regional ally Turkey are prepared to seek a military solution in Syria to try to solve the nation’s five-year-long civil war.

Speaking after a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Istanbul, Biden stressed that a political solution to the problem would still be preferable.

“But we are prepared if that’s not possible to having a military solution to this operation and taking out Daesh,” he said, according to AFP, using another name for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

It is a good thing, a great thing, the U.S. hostages/prisoners are being released.  However, to find out that President Obama and John Kerry allowed the hostages to be used as leverage to block sanctions – is a little disappointing. 

The day before new sanctions were due to be implemented, Iran told the U.S. the fate of the prisoners was dependent on no new sanctions. Kerry agreed.

As with all other strategic decisions from this administration our adversaries only need to consider the political benefits of President Obama in their counter-strategy.  Knowing the White House only makes deals based on political best interests, gives our adversaries a significant structural advantage in how they approach negotiations. 

(Via Reuters)  The day before the Obama administration was due to slap new sanctions on Iran late last month, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif warned U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry the move could derail a prisoner deal the two sides had been negotiating in secret for months.

Kerry and other top aides to President Barack Obama, who was vacationing in Hawaii, convened a series of conference calls and concluded they could not risk losing the chance to free Americans held by Tehran. (more…)
