Contrary to Tehran’s assurance to Washington in August that Iranian arms supplies to Yemeni Houthi rebels had been suspended, the rebels took delivery last week of the largest consignment of Iranian weapons to date.

According to DEBKAfile’s military sources, the shipment included highly sophisticated Scud D surface-to-surface missiles with a range of 800km; and C-802 anti-ship missiles (an upgraded version of the Chinese YJ-8 NATO-named CSS-N-8 and renamed by Iran Saccade).

The ‘peace agenda’ of Israel’s media  

Israel’s media still holds Israel’s citizens hostage to the perspective of a Peres “peace” and “new Middle East.”

Nostalgia for gendarme – the world prefers Trump  

By Alexander Maistrovoy

It is difficult to say who will be elected by American people, but the world (except sterile Western Europe) has made its choice. And this choice, in spite of formal logic, is the “racist,” “sexist,” “imperialist”, “islamophobe” Donald Trump

In New York, the President of Egypt el-Sisi has met with Trump and characterized him as a “strong leader.” The presidents of the Czech Republic and Hungary, Milos Zeman and Viktor Orban, urged Americans to elect Trump. According to Orban, Trump would be a better leader than Obama, and Zeman compared him with Reagan. Russia, Israel and the Arab monarchies would also like to see Tramp in the White house. In India nationalists sing mantras devoted to Trump, in Serbia they called “Vote for Trump!”.

Don’t let Clinton-controlled news cost you the election  

By Judi McLeod, CFP

Stop letting the spitball media and its know-it-all all, swelled talking heads con you into thinking that this election is all about morality; a morality that they get to devise.

Ignore the polls, quit with the long-playing arguments on whether or not Donald Trump should be denied the presidency over an 11-year-old video kept in someone’s bottom desk drawer until the potential of its blackmail flushed it out into the open.

Real life is not the omnipresent digital images of the Obamas, Clintons and Bush’s hugging each other. Real life is coming up with the rent or mortgage money in an economy going south and good-paying jobs now as scarce as hens’ teeth. Reality is making sure, no matter what the future brings, that your kids and grandchildren will be alright.

Trump, Despite Long Odds, Could Yet Bounce To Victory in November  

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun | October 11, 2016

cbAmerican presidential politics are now in uncharted and turbulent waters. The key to Donald Trump’s success in the primaries and in thrashing the mainstream Republican party, which sank without a ripple apart from the hundreds of millions of dollars it had squandered to pick up only about 20% of the vote, was that he was neither complicit in the blunders of the George W. Bush regime nor compliant in the blunders of the Clinton and Obama regimes.

Mr. Trump represented revolutionary change in style and moderate change in policy, apart from a radically new attitude to illegal immigration, trade deals that imported unemployment, and the back-scratching, log-rolling ambiance of the great Washington sleaze factory. He would neither charge blindly into foreign wars as George W. Bush did in Iraq, nor roll over like a poodle for Iran as Mr. Obama has.

Donald Trump Has No Alternative but to Run Against Washington — All of It  

By Joel Pollak, BREITBART

TrumpSpeaker of the House Paul Ryan may have inadvertently done Donald Trump a favor on Monday, when he held a conference call with House Republicans to inform them he would not be campaigning for the party’s nominee.

Ryan irritated pro-Trump Republicans while renewing a bad news cycle that Trump’s strong debate performance on Sunday might have otherwise ended, probably to the benefit of nervous down-ticket candidates.

But Ryan also gave Trump something new: clarity.

Leftist Press Lashes Out Against Our Free Speech Lawsuit  

By Pamela Geller, AMERICAN THINKER

Leftist publications and pundits are rubbing their hooves in glee at the Department of Justice’s response to our recent lawsuit challenging Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides immunity from lawsuits to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, thereby permitting these social media giants to engage in government-sanctioned censorship and discriminatory business practices free from legal challenge.

In order for us to sue Facebook (which is our intent), we first need to knock out this federal immunity statute, which prevents us from suing Facebook. Our lawsuit is therefore against the federal government. We knock out the immunity, and then we can sue Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

The Eurasian Century Is Now Unstoppable  

By F. William Engdahl, NEW EASTERN OUTLOOK

eurasian_continent-400x236I recently returned from a fascinating two week speaking tour in China. The occasion was the international premier of my newest book, One Belt, One Road–China and the New Eurasian Century. In the course of my visit I was invited by China’s Northwest University in Xi’an to give a lecture and seminar on the present global political and economic situation in the context of China’s New Economic Silk Road as the One Belt, One Road project is often called. What I’ve seen in my many visits to China, and have studied about the entirety of this enormously impressive international infrastructure project convinces me that a Eurasian Century at this point is unstoppable.

The idiotic wars of the Washington war-hawks and their military industry–in Syria, in Ukraine, Libya, Iraq and now the South China Sea provocations against China–are not going to stop what is now clearly the most impressive and economically altering project in more than a century.

Clinton Campaign, White House Coordinated Pro-Iran Deal Talking Points  

Leaked emails show effort to mislead public about Iran deal

By Adam Kredo, FREE BEACON

Senior Clinton campaign officials were in direct contact with the White House to coordinate pro-Iran talking points in an effort to boost last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement, according to leaked emails that show the Obama administration and top figures in Clinton’s campaign played a role in promulgating information about the deal that later turned out to be factually inaccurate.

The emails, released late on Friday in a massive document dump by the hacker website WikiLeaks, show coordination between Hillary Clinton’s team and the White House, which spearheaded a massive effort to create what senior officials described as a pro-Iran “echo chamber” to mislead Congress and Americans about the nature of the agreement.

The Trump Tapes, the Trump Vote: Maintaining Perspective  

By Abe Katsman, TOI

Two days later, the Trump tapes continue to reverberate. As someone who speaks and writes arguing that electing Donald Trump (with all of his imperfections) is far preferable to electing Hillary Clinton (with all of hers), I’ve been challenged by friends who are Democrats–some no longer so friendly–asking whether there is any line for me which, if crossed, would cause me to renounce my support for Trump, and whether Trump’s recently revealed comments crossed it.

My answer: I’m sure there is a line somewhere. But in the context of the 2016 election, this doesn’t cross it. Allow me to explain, comment and address my (remaining) Democratic friends.

Operations of agency, which serves government in Judea and Samaria settlement enterprise, were suspended in 2014 • Vote to resume Settlement Division’s work is unanimous • Minister Uri Ariel: It’s time to get back to working for the Israeli public.

An independent unit within the WZO, the Settlement Division has acted as an agent of successive Israeli governments in all matters pertaining to the Judea and Samaria settlement enterprise, and as such it is fully funded by the government.

Analysis: Walking a tightrope with the International Criminal Court  

Compared to the signals the ICC Prosecution sent in February, the signals it sent during this visit could only be seen favorably by Israel

By Yonah Jeremy Bob, JPOST

International Criminal Court Prosecution team that has come to Israel and the West Bank for a first-ever five-day visit has been walking on egg shells not to offend anyone since the second they landed.

Possibly out of fear of being publicly attacked for something related to the visit, they did not even publicize it until the day they were flying in.

And those concerns may have been justified.

Trump trounces Clinton at second debate  

By Jack Englehard, INN

Donald Trump came in with a preexisting condition, that of failure to communicate at the first debate against Hillary Clinton.

Last night in St. Louis he was given a second chance to go strong where earlier he had been weak in pointing out Clinton’s flaws, among them her soft approach to Islamic terror. Over the weekend Wikileaks revealed that she favored open trade and open borders.

This was where Trump had his opening to double down on his call to build walls against infiltrators who bring with them Islamic terror along with BDS and anti-Semitism. Within the past 24 hours two Israelis were murdered and more wounded in Jerusalem at the hands of jihadists.

Trump will win the national battle for legitimacy  

BY DAVID P. GOLDMAN, PJ MEDIA, OCTOBER 9, 2016

The referee should have stopped it in the tenth. Punching at will, Donald Trump said, “Hillary used the power of her office to make $250 million. Why not put some money in? You made a lot of it while you were Secretary of State? Why aren’t you putting money into your own campaign? Just curious.” Reeling and against the ropes, Clinton gasped that she supported — the Second Amendment. It was a brilliant rhetorical device: under the rubric of campaign financing, Trump slipped in an allegation that Clinton corruptly enriched herself by using the power of her office for personal game–and Clinton didn’t even respond. That’s a win by a knockout.

EXCLUSIVE: Roger Stone Touts His New Book, ‘The Clintons’ War on Women’  

By Alex Swayer, BREITBART

clintons-bookNew York Times bestselling author Roger Stone has a new book, The Clintons’ War on Women, and he spoke exclusively to Breitbart News about the revelations he is making about Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Stone compared his book to Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash, which “was about the financial crimes of the Clintons, [and] this book is about the non-financial crimes of the Clintons.” Stone is one of the best-known — and best-dressed — political insiders in New York.

“It’s a horrifying true story of rape, intimidation, cover-up, drugs, greed and power.”

Stone coauthored the book with Robert Morrow, a political researcher and historian. Based on their research, the two show how Bill and Hillary left a trail of assault accusations, intimidation, and cover-ups against women and children.    Read more…
