Chairman Of US Chiefs Of Staff Tells Congress He Won’t Implement Key Element Of Obama’s Syria Policy  

“… the most significant threat to our national interests.”

by Yochanan Visser, WESTERN JOURNALISM

This has been another bad week for the Obama administration’s Middle East policy.

First, as Western Journalism reported Tuesday, Obama was caught red-handed lying about money transfers to Iran.

The president had always defended the transfer of $1.7 billion cash to Iran in three installments as inevitable because the U.S. could not wire the money due to sanctions levied on the regime.

But last week, a U.S. Treasury spokesman revealed the administration had wired almost $10 million to Iran on two occasions over the last 14 months.

The Real Middle East Story  

WALTER RUSSELL MEAD, THE AMERICAN INTEREST

Precisely because he has a colder view of international affairs than Obama, Netanyahu’s leadership has made Israel stronger than ever.

Peter Baker notices something important in his dispatch this morning: at this year’s UNGA, the Israel/Palestine issue is no longer the center of attention. From The New York Times:

They took the stage, one after the other, two aging actors in a long-running drama that has begun to lose its audience. As the Israeli and Palestinian leaders recited their lines in the grand hall of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, many in the orchestra seats recognized the script.

“Heinous crimes,” charged Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president. “Historic catastrophe.”

Russian-Syrian Aleppo tactics await the South  

DEBKA

In scores of air raids launched early Friday, Sept. 23, Syrian and Russian bombers pulverized Syrian rebel strongholds in eastern Aleppo, while, on the ground, Syrian military, Hizballah and pro-Iranian Shiite militia forces hammered those targets in one of the most destructive onslaughts yet seen in the nearly six-day Syrian civil war.

Cries of “annihilation!” came from rebel commanders, as they came under intense aerial bombardment, combined with a fierce ground assault, backed by heavy Russian T-90 tanks and artillery. Dozens of people including children are trapped in the rubble.

STOP MUSLIM IMMIGRATION IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE  

T. Belman. Ever wonder why there are so many Muslims and Muslim countries in the world? Over the millennia, many countries have been conquered and raped but didn’t remain Persian or Greek or Roman as the case may be but the countries conquered in the name of Islam, became and remained Islamic. For example Pakistan, part of India and Malaysia were Hindu; Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and N. Africa were Christian, Afghanistan was Buddhist. This transformation was not by chance but by design. This design was referred to as The Islamic Doctrine. All these countries were conquered by force then shorn of their wealth and many of their women. The inhabitants were either forced to convert or accorded Dhimmi status.

The advance of Islam was finally stopped at the Gates of Vienna in 1642. Thereafter the power of Islam went into decline but it never lost its hold on the people it conquered, This decline was reversed in the Twentieth Century when Arabs became wealthy due to their possession of vast oil reserves. This wealth was then deployed to conquer the west not by force but by propaganda and now by Migration.

Cruz Endorses Trump for President  

By MICHELLE MOONS, BREITBART

Donald Trump (L) shakes hands with Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) following the CNN Republican Presidential Debate March 10, 2016 in Miami, Florida.

Sen. Ted Cruz has endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump for President four months after dropping out of the race for president, returning to his work in the U.S. Senate, and beginning to campaign for re-election in 2018.

A statement from Cruz read:

This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election.

In Cleveland, I urged voters, “please, don’t stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket whom you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.”

Study shows US Jewish votes could play decisive role in swing states  

There are nearly three times more Jews in Florida’s Palm Beach than Obama’s entire margin of victory in the state in 2012

Unprecedented state-by-state research indicates Jews are mostly Democrats, not necessarily ‘liberal,’ could swing election in a tight race

BY PENNY SCHWARTZ, TOI

The White House. (Rachael Cerrotti/Flash90)

A new study, touted as the first-ever state-by-state, county-by-county Jewish population estimate, shows how the Jewish vote could play a crucial role in key battleground states.

The study, released Thursday and conducted by the Steinhardt Social Research Institute at Brandeis University in suburban Boston, found that in Bucks County, Pennsylvania — one of the areas closely watched this election cycle — Jewish adults make up more than 6 percent of the population.

Hillary started war on Libya by lying  

Parliamentary Report Confirms What the Alternative Media Has Been Saying for Years

By George Washington, ZERO HEDGE\

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6-x-cT42b8U/TlFEqwDTchI/AAAAAAAAKng/YIUYeB98Ypc/s1600/anthony+freda+HumanitarianBombs.jpg

The UK Parliament just confirmed what the alternative media has been saying for years.

Specifically, a new report from the bipartisan House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee – based on interviews with all of the key British decision-makers, review of documents, and on-the-ground investigations in Africa – found that Libyan war was based on lies, that it destroyed the country, and that it spread terrorism far and wide.

INTO THE FRAY: Obama at the UN – Why he was right…almost  

By MARTIN SHERMAN

Obama’s UN address was an eloquent concoction of soaring rhetoric & banal platitudes, of statements of the obvious & of the obviously false, delivered with impeccable polish and panache.

…a nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself…Israelis and Palestinians will be better off if Palestinians reject incitement and recognize the legitimacy of Israel, but Israel recognizes that it cannot permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land.

– Barack Hussein Obama, UN General Assembly Sept. 20, 2016

At the U.N., Only Israel Is an ‘Occupying Power’  

By Eugene Kontorovich,

The United Nations began its annual session this week, and Israel will be prominent on the agenda. Many fear the Security Council may consider a resolution setting definite territorial parameters, and a deadline, for the creation of a Palestinian state.

President Obama has hinted that in the final months of his term, he may reverse the traditional U.S. policy of vetoing such resolutions. The General Assembly, meanwhile, is likely to act as the chorus in this drama, reciting its yearly litany of resolutions criticizing Israel.

What was the motive??? Applies to today even more so.  

Just about every problem in America today is linked to political correctness. Declining educational standards, increasing secularism, the police not being allowed to do their job, an inability to secure her borders, a diminished America in the world theatre and reluctance to smash the evil of currently rampaging Islamism – all of it is rooted in politically-correct ideology. Nothing is more antithetical to America’s foundational principles. The American people can crush political correctness. It can be done, and it must be done.

Islam Academic: Migrants Want Eurabia, Globalists Using Migrants to Destroy The West  

By Virginia Hale, BREITBART

GettyImages-518341566

A highly regarded researcher and academic has warned that Muslims in Europe view migration as he start of the Islamisation of the continent. Prof. Abdessamad Belhaj also detailed how globalists are using Muslim migrants to turn Western countries into socially divided societies of easily-controlled consumers.

The scholar of Islam and social sciences warned that large numbers of migrants are “calamitous” for the European people, and that neoliberal elites see Islamic terrorism, and state bankruptcy and collapse as collateral damage in their pursuit of endless wealth.

Egyptian Leaders Praise Trump, Blast Clinton After President El-Sisi Meets with Both Candidates  

by JEN LAWRENCE & DUSTIN STOCKTON, BREITBART

Trump El-Sisi AP

NEW YORK CITY, New York — Members of the Egyptian delegation to the United Nations blasted Hillary Clinton just a day after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi met with both Clinton and Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. They also had high praise for Trump—and while not an official endorsement, it is a positive outcome for Trump’s first and only meeting with Muslim world leaders thus far.

Egyptian officials expressed frustration and outrage over the Obama administration’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood and expressed concern that a Clinton administration would continue to undermine Egyptian efforts to dismantle Brotherhood terrorists attempting to destabilize the democratically elected Egyptian government.

Only 37 Republicans back plan to defund Muslim refugees  

T. Belman. This is a reminder how difficult it is in Congress to get them to do something about immigration of Muslims. A major part of the problem is that Congressmen and American’s in general have no idea how much a threat to their values, country and way of life, massive Muslim immigration portends.

Texas congressman calls Obama’s influx ‘clear and present danger’

By Leo Hohmann, WND

Muslim refugees from the Middle East and Africa have poured into Europe over the past two years and President Obama says the U.S. needs to take more.

Only 37 Republican congressmen have signed on to a Texas lawmaker’s effort to cut funding for all refugees being sent to the U.S. from terrorist hotbeds like Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia.

U.S. Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, told WND Tuesday the attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey over the weekend, combined with earlier attacks by Muslim immigrants or sons of immigrants on Orlando, San Bernardino and Chattanooga, have created a “clear and present danger” that Congress must address. Especially since the sitting president, Barack Obama, refuses not only to stem the flow of Muslim refugees but has been on a crusade to increase the flow before he leaves office in January.
