Exclusive: Hillary Killed Libya Peace Deal Over Personal Vendetta, Claims Whistleblower

Hillary Clinton personally nixed a peace deal in Libya that would have led to free elections and prevented the country being seized by ISIS, all because of a personal vendetta she had with Muammar Gaddafi, according to explosive new claims made by a whistleblower who personally oversaw the negotiations.

Caves in which Jewish rebels hid from Romans 2,000 years ago found in Galilee  

As the First Jewish War raged in ancient Palestine, villagers would hide in impressively inaccessible cliffside caves as the Roman armies marched through.

By Philippe Bohstrom, HAARETZ

While surveying natural limestone caves in the Galilee, scientists have discovered hundreds of limestone caves in which Jews hid when Roman troops came marching through 2,000 years ago, during the Great Jewish Revolt (66-70 CE).

Extensive embellishment such as baths and candle niches carved into the rock show that the caves had been prepared for extensive habitation.

Water cisterns carved into the rock, as well as pitchers, pottery shards, coins, and other artifacts dating to the 1st century C.E. were found in many of the cliff shelters, say Dr. Yinon Shivtiel from the Safed Academic College and Vladimir Boslove of the Israeli Cave Research Center. The work was funded by the Safed Academic College Research Foundation.

Subject: Insider information From an FBI insider – A sad state of Affairs.

FBI insider confirms everyone’s worst suspicions. The Hillary Clinton e-mail server was merely a distraction from the Clinton Foundation and most of Washington, D.C. is in up to their necks in what could be the biggest scandal of all times. This inside info comes from someone claiming to be a high level FBI analyst whose job was to look at the records, with his notes added. The smoking gun is about to arrive and there are “a lot of people involved”. To save everyone time, what follows here are the choice bits. Looks like Trump and Putin hold some of the cards.

“Obama Must Veto Anti Settlement Resolution”  

Human Rights scholar Anne Bayefsky tells Americans to do everything they can to ensure that US President Barack Obama exercises US veto power in order to prevent the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution against Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Bayefsky, an expert on international human rights law, equality rights and constitutional human rights law, explains why the resolution is extremely dangerous – for so many reasons.

Here are Ms. Bayefsky’s main points:

Christian group sponsors first wave of renewed Ethiopian aliya  

ICEJ donates $500,000 to cover flights for Falash Mura.

By Tamara Zieve, JPOST

Young Ethiopian Jews prepare for Passover Seder

The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) announced Wednesday that it is sponsoring the first wave of renewed Ethiopian aliya. The government reached an agreement in July to bring 9,000 Falash Mura to Israel by the end of 2020, beginning with 1,300 Ethiopians who are expected to arrive by the end of 2016. This followed a more than two-year hiatus after a declaration of the “end of Ethiopian aliya,” which left many families separated.

U.S. Blasts Israel’s Plan for New West Bank Settlement  

 Says Netanyahu Broke His Word 

By Barak Ravid HAARETZ

The U.S. administration published an unusually harsh statement on Wednesday against a plan to build an alternative settlement for residents of the illegal outpost of Amona.

The statement, signed by Mark Toner, deputy spokesman for the State Department, drew an unusual linkage between the signing of the defense aid agreement with Israel and criticism of settlement building.

Justice Minister Shaked Issues Manifesto on Jewish Democracy  

Based on the Teachings of Chief Justice Barak

By: JNi.Media

Ayelet Shaked

“The Knesset is attempting to legislate away our lives and the High Court is invading territory to which it is not entitled,” declares Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Habayit Hayehudi), in a lengthy but exciting essay in the inaugural issue of Hashiloach, an Israeli Journal on thought and policy. The essay, titled “Tracks toward Governing” (the Hebrew title is a play on words between Mesilot-tracks and Meshilut-governance), suggests that the behavior of some of Israel’s branches of government is threatening individual freedoms as well as the ability of elected officials to govern. Shaked is urging a return, as soon as possible, to the proper governing on the proper tracks, from within Israel’s definition as a Jewish and democratic state.

THE US AND IRAN: Friends or foes?  

Historical and Investigative Research – 7 Sep 2016, by Francisco Gil-White

Conference presented by Francisco Gil-White, Raúl Baillères Auditorium, ITAM.
30 August, 2016

How to explain that, after four decades of US policy in the Middle East, the theocratic and Islamist Iranian state—part of the ‘Axis of Evil’ according to George Bush Jr.’s diatribes—is stronger than ever?

Introduction

Impressed by the division of labor, integration, and functional articulation of their component human ‘cells,’ we have, for a long time, trotted out the body metaphor to analyze our institutions or corporations—the root ‘corpo’ comes from the Latin ‘corpus’ meaning ‘body.’ If the metaphor is productive, perhaps we should adopt also, from the medical doctor, the method of investigation whereby he pokes and prods to observe bodily reactions with which to evaluate the body’s health.

Putin Tightens His Grip on Syria  

Moscow ships advanced antimissile systems as talks unravel.

WSJ

The Obama Administration on Monday suspended the latest round of talks with Moscow over the Syrian civil war. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin has responded by suspending a plutonium-control agreement and dispatching a sophisticated anti-air system to Syria.

News of the new military shipment comes from three U.S. officials who spoke with Fox News, which reports that the SA-23 Gladiator arrived in the region over the weekend at Russia’s naval base at Tartus, on the Mediterranean. This is the first time Moscow has deployed the SA-23 to Syria.

The SA-23 system could impose significant restrictions on U.S. military action in Syria, since it can target cruise and ballistic missiles as well as aircraft. U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has proposed creating no-fly zones in Syria to deter the Bashar Assad regime’s murderous bombing runs, and her opponent, Donald Trump, has vowed to escalate the war on Islamic State. Mr. Putin has now dialed up the risk quotient associated with either course of action.

The Apology of Donald J. Trump  

T. Belman. Stephens is one of the last remaining “Never Trumpers”. Bill Crystal is another. Everyone is talking about this article because Stephens makes a great case for Trump that ultimately he rejects.

To those who don’t get why Clinton isn’t ahead by 50 points—here’s the answer.

By Bret Stephens, WSJ

What follows is a draft of a speech Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver Tuesday, Oct. 4 in Prescott Valley, Ariz. We haven’t confirmed its authenticity because, like the rest of the corrupt media, we’re totally dishonest.

Thank you, everybody, thank you. It’s good to be back in Arizona. And you know we’re going to win, right? The polls say we’re going to win in Arizona, and we will.

The polls also say we’d lose the general election if it were held today. But they’re wrong. So wrong. You know how pollsters work? They guess who will show up to vote on election day, and then they poll these “likely voters.”

Substantial progress in talks to bring Zionist Union into the government  

Zionist Union set to get eight portfolios, including Foreign Ministry and ability to lead peace talks, Israel’s Chanel 10 says; sources confirm report to Haaretz; Herzog denies talks.

By Cahim Levinson, HAARETZ

After weeks of rumors, substantial progress has reportedly been made in talks to form a unity government in Israel, Channel 10 news reported Tuesday. According to the report, the center-left Zionist Union party will join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud-led government in exchange for eight portfolios, including the highly coveted Foreign Ministry.

The report was confirmed to Haaretz by sources in both parties. But chairman of the opposition and head of the Zionist Union, Isaac Herzog, denied it. In a message sent out to party members on Tuesday, Herzog called the report “baseless,” stating there have been no contacts with Likud over the Rosh Hashanah holiday as the report claimed. Likud also officially denied the report.

Does Common Sense Plus Polling Mean a Big Trump Win?  

By Seth Keshel, AMERICAN THINKER

The “unskewed polls” fiasco of 2012 will live in infamy for many years until usurped by an even bigger failed prediction.  Unfortunately for conservatives, the mainstream media didn’t miss a beat in weaponizing polls in favor of Hillary Clinton during the current campaign, leaving many of us demoralized and in search of answers.  The pollsters are skilled at shorting certain samples (independents), adding others (Democrats), and then creating a unique top line that defies the data included in the poll itself.  This is done in such a bold manner that it’s almost as if the polling companies are daring us to start the next polling conspiracy.

Obama’s Confusion About the ‘Occupation’ of Palestinian Land  

The president would probably be aghast if he were told that ‘the United States cannot permanently occupy Mexican land.’ Can ‘occupation’ lead to peaceful accommodation?

By Moshe Arens, HAARETZ

“Israel cannot permanently occupy Palestinian land,” said Barack Obama in his speech at the United Nations last month. By Palestinian land he presumably meant Judea and Samaria, the territory between the Jordan River and the lines delineated by Israel and Jordan in April 1949, in an armistice that followed Jordan’s participation in the combined Arab attack on Israel in 1948. Maybe he was also referring to the Gaza Strip, although that region is now under the rule of Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization, and there is no Israeli presence there.

Was it Palestinian land that Jordan annexed after the conclusion of the armistice with Israel? Nobody made that claim at the time, nor during the following 18 years when Jordan held that area.

The Eight State Solution Revisited  

By Ron Jager

In recent days, the head of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Mahmoud Abbas, spoke at the general assembly of the United Nations basing his remarks on three basic Palestinian beliefs that reflect the Palestinian’s inability to be partners towards a peaceful solution with Israel. Abbas, spoke of the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel’s right to exist as the Homeland of the Jewish People, he refused to end the PA’s incitement of Palestinian’s to commit terror against Jews, and reaffirmed the Palestinian’s “right of return” which means nothing less than the end of Israel as a Jewish State.

Clinton Approved Arms for Terrorist Enemies of the US  

By Judge Napolitano, TEA PARTY

(Washington Times) – In the course of my work, I am often asked by colleagues to review and explain documents and statutes. Recently, in conjunction with my colleagues Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, I read the transcripts of an interview Ms. Browne did with a man named Marc Turi, and Ms. Herridge asked me to review emails to and from State Departmentand congressional officials during the years when Hillary Clinton was the secretary of state.

What I saw has persuaded me beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty that Mrs. Clinton provided material assistance to terrorists and lied to Congress in a venue where the law required her to be truthful. Here is the backstory. Read more…

Writing Is on the Wall For Trump To Act Like a Proper President  

By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun

Trump1It is already a platitude that Donald Trump had a bad week. The stridently partisan national (and international) press has translated Mrs. Clinton’s unimpressive and fairly narrow victory in the first debate into a terrible “drubbing” (the word is that of a Canadian journalist; they tend to be even more intoxicated by the anti-Trump Kool Aid than the American press). Mr. Trump has rather sullenly receded into his worrisome and self-demeaning habit of focusing on absurd side issues in a coarse way.

It is understandable that the owner of the Miss Universe contest would feel that his brand was being abused by a successful contestant who then put on weight. But the middle of a presidential election campaign against the country’s first major-party female nominee is not the time to call a former beauty queen Miss Piggy. This isn’t a matter of misogyny at all, as the Democrats and their darkened sky of screaming parrots in the media claim; it’s just ungracious. I find it impossible to imagine any president of the United States using that phrase publicly, except in reference to the Muppets character.
