AND HE WANTS TO BE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MINNESOTA?
WHERE ARE THE RABID #METOO PEOPLE, AND WHY AREN’T THEY HOLDING ELLISON ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ALLEGED PHYSICAL ABUSE OF THESE WOMEN?
Now that the dam of allegations has been breached, I would bet just about anything that more abuse & intimidation accusations will now start to come out against Keith Ellison.
Things aren’t looking good for Democrat (alleged) woman abuser Keith Ellison, and it’s only going to get worse from here.
Ellison is usually the one hurling accusations against others (usually Republicans.) The new allegations, however, brought to light a 2006 accusation from another woman that was mostly ignored during Ellison’s first election to Congress — and has nearly vanished from mention on the internet.
“I regret that like many, I too was duped by Keith Ellison’s considerable charm,” Minnesota Democrat activist Amy L. Alexander wrote in the Wright County Republican back in October of 2006. “I was seduced by the idea of what I thought he represented. As a perennial (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) activist from the north side of Minneapolis I worked for and with Ellison on a number of issues and community boards.”
Ellison eventually filed a harassment restraining order against Alexander, which is why she felt she needed to set the record straight on their relationship. She said that she had given in to his numerous romantic advances because she believed it would be good for her career. Then, she said, their “hot and cold romance devolved into a love/ hate showdown by spring of 1994. Keith belittled me about my weight and constantly criticized my every word and action. He ostracized me from the community on whose behalf I had worked so hard to advocate. Feeling exiled I escaped to New York for the next five years.”
By 2004, Alexander had returned to Minnesota and the relationship reignited, leading to an alleged incident of abuse when things fell apart in 2005.
“In May, Keith wanted to try and quiet me so he came to my home uninvited,” Alexander wrote. “We had words. His anger kicked in. He berated me. He grabbed me and pushed me out of the way. I was terrified. I called the police. As he fled he broke my screen door. I have never been so scared.”
And then, when Ellison ran for Congress, he tried to intimidate her into staying quiet, even with the restraining order.
“I obeyed the restraining order without exception. It was Keith’s friend and attorney who called me the day after the 2006 DFL endorsement convention to arrange a meeting,” she recalled.
“We met at The Modern Café. He offered me release from Keith’s restraining order if I either promised to shut up about our affairs or came out publicly in support of Keith’s candidacy for Congress. I refused. I asked them repeatedly to leave me alone. He called me again in July with the same offer. I reported that incident to police and the cops agreed to let the attorney know to leave me alone.”
Ellison, it must be noted, was married during this time, although that’s the least disturbing element of it all. Yet, in spite of the fact that this was a clear accusation of physical abuse, abuse of power and intimidation, none of the major news outlets really picked this one up.
“The pervasiveness of the concerns raised by many regarding his display of a tattoo that is associated with the ‘3 Percenters’ has caused the Department to question his ability to function effectively as a police officer within this community,” Police Chief Blue said in a released statement. “Therefore, the Police Department initiated an administrative investigation in accordance with our Town’s Personnel Ordinances and policies and procedures.”
Trudeau, fast becoming Canada’s Idi Amin, might have you arrested if you depart from his policies. These policies include funds for Muslim rallies where imams call for the murder of all Jews. Yes, that’s in broad daylight…in Canada… But of course anti-Semitism is not exclusive to Corbyn, or to the Labour Party, or to the UK, or to Canada, or to Europe, as we tell it in this thriller. Corbyn sticks out because he could become prime minister, another Trudeau/Idi Amin, and even if he goes no further, he’s gone far enough.
Egyptian media has accused the late US senator and presidential nominee John McCain of being the ‘Godfather’, ‘leader’, and ‘real Supreme Guide’ of the Muslim Brotherhood organisation.In remarks, he made during a talk show aired on Sada El-Balad TV, the Egyptian media personality and TV host Ahmed Moussa claimed that McCain, recognised in the US as a national war hero and longtime senator, was, in fact, the ‘real Supreme Guide’ of the Muslim Brotherhood.“John McCain is the real Supreme Guide of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood, not Badee and not Akef,” Moussa said.“Today was John McCain’s funeral, which the leaders of the criminal Brotherhood in America have taken part in,” he continued, “ and they performed the Absentee funeral prayer for John McCain in Qatar, Turkey, USA, and Britain. ”“[McCain] was the main supporter for the terrorist Brotherhood,” he added. “Senator McCain was the one who opened up the Congress to the Brotherhood. He was the one arranging the meetings and appointments and providing them with protection.”…Moussa said that McCain was “a stronger ally” to the Muslim Brotherhood than Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani….
Rivera’s uncle, Eustaquio “Capi” Bahena Radilla, said he fears less for himself than for his three school-age children. Most days, Bahena Radilla socializes only with co-workers at Yarrabee Farms. Even if he spent more time in town, he wouldn’t know if neighbors were whispering about him — he doesn’t speak English. [Emphasis added]
Now 34 and a permanent U.S. resident, Fragoso said she came from Mexico with her family as a child. She had never felt unwelcome in Brooklyn, she said — but things seemed suddenly different. [Emphasis added]Some of her friends on Facebook were making disparaging remarks about undocumented immigrants. One man, whom she has seen at nearby Mexican restaurants, wrote after Rivera’s arrest: “This is why we need a [expletive] wall.” [Emphasis added]
Please listen carefully to @SkyNews and @BBCNews and @Channel4News calling these decent German people “far right” and “extremists”. Imagine being a journalist and following that script. Why are they lying to you?
Thousands of protesters staged a ‘mourning march’ in Chemnitz for people believed to have been killed by migrants, following the fatal stabbing of Daniel Hillig.23-year-old Alaa S., from Syria, and 22-year-old Yousif A., from Iraq, were arrested following Mr Hillig’s death.Revelations that the Iraqi suspect had a string of convictions for crimes including fraud, drug dealings, and serious bodily injury — which earned him a two-year suspended sentence — and was supposed to be deported sparked public outcry.The anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and the PEGIDA movement, best known for its regular street protests against ‘Islamisation’ and mass migration, staged the “mourning march” in response.Participants carried placards bearing the names and likenesses of people believed to have been killed by migrants, including medical student Maria Ladenburger — the daughter of an EU official who was raped and drowned by Hussein Khavari.Khavari had allegedly raped a 12-year-old girl in his native country before coming to Europe claiming to be a ‘child refugee’.He was subsequently given a ten-year sentence for throwing a woman off a cliff in Greece, but spent only a very short time behind bars before being paroled — and promptly moved on to Germany, where he killed Miss Ladenburger…..

Not a word of objection from the Hilton, which expelled a group of ex-Muslims for fear that ISNA conference attendees might be offended.“Some of the Worst Islamist Hate Preachers Gather at ISNA’s Houston Conference,” by Martha Lee, Algemeiner, August 31, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):___________________________________________________________________From August 31 to September 3, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) will host its 55th Annual Convention in Houston, Texas. Although ISNA is one of the largest Muslim advocacy groups in the United States, the organization has a history of inviting extremist speakers to address its crowds. This year’s conference fits ISNA’s usual pattern. Titled “In God We Trust,” the convention once again features speakers with long histories of inciting hatred against Jews, women, homosexuals, and other minorities.One Muslim commentator noticeably missing, however, is Wajahat Ali, a prominent Muslim-American attorney and journalist. His invitation to the ISNA conference was revoked after he took part in the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Muslim Leadership Initiative, a program that “invites North American Muslims to explore how Jews understand Judaism, Israel and Jewish peoplehood.”According to Ali, his involvement with this interfaith initiative, as well as an article he wrote about his conversations with Israelis, led to his expulsion.While Ali appears beyond the pale for ISNA and its supporters, some of America’s most extreme Islamist clerics and activists have been judged to be fine additions. Islamist Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, has put together a small dossier of the worst of these speakers.Among them is Indonesian imam Shamsi Ali, who has received international praise for his interfaith work. Ali has styled himself as an interfaith advocate in the US — all the while posting very different views, written in Indonesian, on his social media accounts.Ali has written that “Jews are working to destroy Islam and the Ummah [the worldwide Muslim community],” and has expressed “respect for the fighting spirit of Hamas.” He has also attacked the West’s acceptance of homosexuality, lamenting that Muslims who oppose it are “considered to be against human rights and freedom as well.”ISNA also invited Hussain Kamani, an American-born instructor at the Qalam Institute, who has endorsed sex slavery. In a talk, Kamani explained that Muslim men may fulfill any sexual desires “with a female slave that belongs to him.” According to Kamani, “those who commit adultery or have sex outside of marriage” must be “stoned to death.” Kamani views Western society as “filth. … We are surrounded by filth … our environment is full of this filth, everywhere we turn.”There are many more examples in the dossier produced by Islamist Watch. And they include ISNA’s own officials. ISNA stalwart (and former president) Muzammil Siddiqui, for example, has expressed support for laws in countries that punish homosexuality with death.And ISNA’s current Vice-President, Pervez Nasim, recently approvingly posted a video on his social media of an interview with Ken O’Keefe, a prominent antisemitic conspiracy theorist and Holocaust denier.In the video, O’Keefe discusses the “so called Holocaust” and angrily asks why “we can’t even talk about Jewish control of the mainstream media.” He accuses Mossad agents of having foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks, and insists that the US government is “owned by the Jewish state.” Nasim himself has also stated that “victims and survivors of Holocaust are fast losing sympathy,” and that, unlike in Gaza, “at least in Nazi concentration camps there was plenty of water and electricity!”…Houston: Ex-Muslims banned from Hilton across from ISNA convention for “I’m an Ex-Muslim” t-shirtsBY ROBERT SPENCERrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:Intolerant non-Muslim Leftists eagerly acting to stop what they think will offend their Muslim friends and allies. It would be interesting to know whether ISNA demanded that the ex-Muslims be barred, or whether this sweaty, ham-handed, self-righteous, officious Hilton official took it upon himself to do so.“Ex-Muslims banned from Houston Hilton Starbucks for Atheist shirts,” Ex-Muslims of North America, September 2, 2018:On Saturday, September 1st, Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA) volunteers were forcibly expelled from a Starbucks within a Hilton hotel in Houston, Texas, after refusing to change out of T-Shirts stating “God Love is Greatest” and “I’m an Ex-Muslim, Ask Me Why”.The EXMNA volunteers were taking a coffee break at the Starbucks after a day of handing out flyers and speaking with and interviewing attendees at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)’s annual conference. Without warning, they were informed by staff that they must leave the establishment.“I was surprised. I was simply drinking my iced coffee and scrolling through my phone, and they told me I needed to leave, so I asked why”, says Lina an ex-Muslim Syrian woman who had traveled to the conference on behalf of EXMNA. “I was told that they are not allowing protestors at the property, I assured the woman that I was not a protestor. She then asked me if I was part of the event or a guest at the hotel. I was neither. I was then told that even though I was a paying customer, I was not allowed to be on the premise as it was reserved for guests and event members for the weekend and that they will not be allowing anyone else on their private property. However, I noticed the Starbucks was still open to the public and I didn’t see anyone else being asked to leave.”Upon additional inquiry after leaving the premises, the hotel employees stated on video that the EXMNA group was not welcome due to their T-shirts, and repeatedly claimed the group was “protesting”, a charge which all volunteers explicitly denied multiple times.“This appears to be a case of discrimination,” says President of Ex-Muslims of North America, Muhammad Syed. “We were asked to leave the premises and informed that we could only enter the premises if we removed the shirts, none of which stated anything inflammatory. The treatment was unjust and especially cruel considering the plight of ex-Muslims. We are killed and abused all over the world for our disbelief. It is unconscionable that companies like Starbucks and Hilton acquiesce to conservative religious sensibilities”.As of 2018, over a dozen Muslim-majority countries prescribe the death penalty for Muslims who leave the faith. Muslim leaders from across the world, including most recently, Pakistan, have called for international cooperation in penalizing content considered blasphemous in Islam.“I don’t expect much of the media to cover what happened here. Previously, we have faced discrimination at the hands of employees at other companies due to our apostasy, and the coverage was minimal,” continues Muhammad Syed. In 2016, Wegmans refused to bake Ex-Muslims of North America an anniversary cake, allegedly due to the offense the cake design was causing the bakery’s Muslim employees. The design of the cake rejected as “offensive” by the bakery contained only the statement “Congrats on 3 years” alongside the organization’s name and logo.“The gay wedding cake issue was gaining a lot of coverage back then, so one would have assumed that our discrimination would be very relevant,” continued Muhammad Syed, “but sadly, people are divided by politics instead of sticking to their principals. Freedom of religion and from religion are non-partisan issues we should all be fighting for. Most ex-Muslims are progressive or broadly on the Left, so it is especially discouraging to see the lack of solidarity from progressives.”…But not in the least surprising._______________________________________________________________SEE ALSO:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. military said it has made a final decision to cancel $300 million in aid to Pakistan that had been suspended over Islamabad’s perceived failure to take decisive action against militants, in a new blow to deteriorating ties.The so-called Coalition Support Funds were part of a broader suspension in aid to Pakistan announced by President Donald Trump at the start of the year, when he accused Pakistan of rewarding past assistance with “nothing but lies & deceit.”The Trump administration says Islamabad is granting safe haven to insurgents who are waging a 17-year-old war in neighboring Afghanistan, a charge Pakistan denies.But U.S. officials had held out the possibility that Pakistan could win back that support if it changed its behavior….
Protesters burnt pictures of President Donald Trump in front of Ramallah’s America House on Tuesday, at a rally against the US government’s decision end all aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
The protest, which was organized by the Fatah Movement and National Forces, saw rally-goers holding banners aloft and chanting, outraged at cuts to the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency.
“The US is trying to do the role of the occupation by the liquidation of the UNRWA and by stopping the funding of the agency as the first step of ending the right of return,” said Esam Abu Baker, a representative of the National Forces in Ramallah.
“American institutions that support the occupation have to immediately leave Palestinian lands,” he added.
The US State Department announced in a statement on August 31 that it considered UNRWA to be “irredeemably flawed” and would be withdrawing all funding. The US contributed $355 million (€305 million) to UNWRA in 2016 and released $60 million (€43 million) of their allocated funding earlier this year, before revealing cuts.
US ENDS ALL FUNDING TO UN AGENCY FOR “PALESTINIAN REFUGEES”
“US ends all funding to UN agency for Palestinian refugees,” by Clare Foran and Elise Labott, CNN, September 1, 2018:Washington (CNN)The United States is ending all funding to the United Nations agency tasked with supporting Palestinian refugees, the US State Department said Friday, describing the body as “irredeemably flawed.”The United States has long been the biggest single donor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, known as UNRWA, donating more than $350 million to the agency in 2017.In January this year, the United States said it would withhold $65 million, from an initial installment of $125 million it was expected to hand over to UNRWA at the start of the year. The US said it wanted UNRWA to reform and believed other countries should increase the amounts they contributed to the agency.“When we made a US contribution of $60 million in January, we made it clear that the United States was no longer willing to shoulder the very disproportionate share of the burden of UNRWA’s costs that we had assumed for many years,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement Friday.“Several countries, including Jordan, Egypt, Sweden, Qatar, and the UAE have shown leadership in addressing this problem, but the overall international response has not been sufficient.”Nauert criticized the agency’s business model and fiscal practices as “unsustainable” and having been in “crisis mode” for many years.“The United States will no longer commit further funding to this irredeemably flawed operation,” she said. “We are very mindful of and deeply concerned regarding the impact upon innocent Palestinians, especially school children, of the failure of UNRWA and key members of the regional and international donor community to reform and reset the UNRWA way of doing business.”…

The United States on Friday ended all funding to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees,” and it is instructive to look back at the “Palestinian” fury at the American government earlier this year for cutting its contribution to UNRWA from $125 million to $60 million; it was something to behold. It was full of dire warnings about what terrible things would ensue for these “refugees” (that is, the five million people whom UNRWA calls “refugees,” even though only 20,000-40,000 are still alive of those who actually left Palestine in 1947-1949; the rest are the ever-multiplying descendants of the 700,000 Arabs who left). There were repeated warnings of “devastating consequences.” Apparently these desperate “Palestinians” have no other conceivable sources of support to call on, such as, for example, several of the richest countries, per capita, in the world — Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar. Between them, they can’t come up with an extra $65 million for their “Palestinian” brothers. This is strange, especially when you consider how very deeply they feel for the “Palestinians,” as is shown by their rhetoric and votes at the U.N. And it can’t be for want of money. Why, in the last year, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bought a $500 million dollar yacht, a $300 million dollar chateau, and a $450 million dollar painting by Leonardo, without batting an eye. Could it be that the P.A. insists that the money must come from the Americans, and not from other Arabs, to reinforce the idea that the United States “owes” the “Palestinians” this aid? From a January Al Jazeera report:“If the wakala [UNRWA] goes away, there will be no education, no healthcare, no sanitation,” Yazan Muhammad Sabri, an 18-year-old Palestinian refugee in Dheisheh camp told Al Jazeera last week.“There won’t be anything – everything will disappear.”Salah Ajarmeh, a 44-year-old refugee living in Aida camp, had said that “if the services stop, there will be a revolution”.“Palestinian uprisings began in the refugee camps in Jordan and Syria, and this will happen again.”Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, also urged the US government to reverse its decision.“The move will have devastating consequences for vulnerable Palestinian refugees across the Middle East, including hundreds of thousands of refugee children in the West Bank and Gaza, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria who depend on the agency for their education,” he said in a statement.“It will also deny their parents a social safety net that helps them to survive, and undermine the UN agency’s ability to respond in the event of another flare-up in the conflict.”There have been no “devastating consequences,” no “Palestinian uprisings.” Just the usual whines from those with a sense of permanent and total entitlement. Apparently the Americans have no right to stop funding the “Palestinians” to an extravagant degree, and must keep funding them no matter what their behavior. What have been the “dire consequences”? Some “Palestinians” working for UNRWA, with its much-overstaffed, very well-paid bureaucracy, will have lost their jobs, and forced to accept — life is so unfair! — less cushy employment, a loss of a great many sinecures, and less exalted salaries.By cutting aid to UNRWA, the Trump administration is making the point that UNRWA’s definition of what constitutes a “Palestinian” refugee — the administration is not accepting the claim that the term refers not just to anyone who was himself a refugee, but also to anyone who is the descendant, no matter how any generations removed, of someone who was a refugee. Under this definition, which is UNRWA’s, the number of “refugees” will forever increase. The “Palestinian refugees” are the only “refugees” in the entire world who are permitted to be defined in that way, and the American government has lost patience with this colossally expensive farce.In late August, when the Trump administration dropped the other shoe and declared that it would cut aid to the Palestinian Authority itself by more than $200 million, the response was sheer fury. How dare the Americans cut aid that they owe the “Palestinians” in perpetuity, to judge by the apoplexy of Mahmoud Abbas? Abbas needn’t worry about himself — he and his two sons have accumulated between them $400 million, skimmed from the foreign aid intended for the “poor Palestinians,” and which they will hold onto no matter what. But he doesn’t like this new policy in Washington of outrageously daring to link American aid to changes in “Palestinian” policy. How dare the Americans make demands when they should simply be handing over the sums, and not presuming to dictate what the Palestine Authority does or does not do?If the administration had first been trying to change the policy of UNRWA with its ever-expanding rolls of “refugees,” it was now trying to change the policy of the Palestinian Authority itself, its policy of paying large, ever-increasing sums to the families of terrorists killed, wounded, or imprisoned in Israeli jails. Families of individuals killed by Israeli security forces are paid stipends of about $800 to $1,000 per month. These payments go on forever. The families of convicted Palestinians serving time in Israeli prisons receive $3,000 or higher per month until they are released. Large sums are involved. For example, payments to the families of just one terrorist, sentenced to life at 20 and expected to live to the age of 80, would be close to $2 million.But the payments received by terrorists’ families from the “Palestinian Martyr’s Fund” are only one of the ways that the PA encourages terrorists. Another way is to honor the memories of those terrorists who have been killed, by naming streets, squares, parks, schools, and even summer classes after these “Palestinian” murderers, who are held up as models of conduct on children’s shows on “Palestinian” television, where the sweetest-faced little Arab girls lisp songs in praise of those who murder Jews, and express the wish that when they grow up they can do the same thing themselves.Previous administrations have been fully aware of this PA policy of “pay for slay” and for glorifying terrorists, but until now no American administration has done something to punish the PA for these practices. The administration has done the only thing that gets the attention of the “Palestinians”: it has unceremoniously cut American aid. The Trump administration has had it with the “pay for slay” policy of the PA, and with its grotesque honoring of mass-murdering terrorists.Even if there were no such “pay for slay” policy, and no honoring of terrorists by naming public places after them, American aid to the “Palestinians” should be stopped. It has no convincing justification. Such aid only appears to confirm the PA in its denunciation of the Americans as responsible for the establishment of the state of Israel, and therefore they owe the “Palestinians” some kind of recompense.The idea that the Americans are simply being generous to those they have been persuaded need help is something the “Palestinian” mind refuses to comprehend. If aid is given, it can only be because it is owed. And it is owed because the Americans are responsible for the State of Israel coming into existence. It offends Arab amour-propre to believe that the despised Jews could have held out on their own against so many Arabs; surely the Americans must have been supplying the Jews with indispensable support of all kinds.But that isn’t true. Let’s go back to the founding of the Jewish state or even earlier, back to the establishment by the League of Nations of the Mandate for Palestine. Great Britain, not the U.S., was the Mandatory authority, thereby committing itself to facilitating Jewish immigration and close Jewish settlement on the land. The U.S. not only had no responsibility for the Mandate but, despite Woodrow Wilson’s enthusiasm for the League, never even became a member of the League. No aid from the American government was extended to the Jews of Mandatory Palestine.In 1947-49, the United States, like many other Western powers, established an embargo on weaponry for both sides, weaponry that might have helped the Jews in their fight for survival. Great Britain did supply Egypt, Iraq, and especially Jordan with arms. It was Jordan’s Arab Legion, armed and trained by British officers under the celebrated Glubb Pasha, that was the most effective fighting force on the Arab side.While some Jewish American soldiers did volunteer to fight for the Zionist cause, that was their individual decision. The Israelis did have some Sherman tanks from sources in Europe. There were also shiploads of small arms smuggled into Palestine from Europe, almost all from Czechoslovakia, by the Jewish Agency, which were to prove decisive in Israel’s war. Here were the shipments:Total deliveries (confirmed until October 1948)Infantry weapons34,500 P-18 rifles 5,515 MG 34 machine guns with 10,000 ammo belts 10,000 vz.24 bayonets 900 vz. 37 heavy machine guns 500 vz. 27 pistols 12 ZK-383 submachine guns 10 ZK 420 semi-automatic rifles 500 vz. 26 light machine gunsInfantry ammunition 91,500,000 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridges 15,000,000 9mm Parabellum cartridges 375,000 13mm cartridges for MG 131 150,000 20mm cartridges for MG 151 375,000 7.65mm cartridges for vz. 27 pistolsAircraft Israeli Avia S-199, 1948 25 Avia S-199 fighters 61 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX fighters Only 18 of the Spitfires arrived before the cessation of hostilities.The Czechs also provided training for Israeli pilots.There were no significant shipments of weaponry from the U.S.Nor did the U.S. intervene to help Israel in the early period of its existence. 19,000 separate attacks by Egyptian fedayeen, encouraged by Nasser, did not lead to any softening of the American position. When Israel finally went to war against Egypt in the Sinai Campaign of 1956 to stamp out those attacks, it was France and Great Britain, for their own good and sufficient reasons, that briefly allied with Israel in order to deal Nasser a stinging defeat that might curb his leader-of-the-Third-World aggressiveness. President Eisenhower, however, not only did not join this alliance, but pressured Israel in 1957 to pull its troops back from the conquered Sinai, without obtaining any guarantees from Egypt to halt the fedayeen. Ben Gurion refused at first. Eisenhower voted at the U.N. to denounce Israel’s “occupation” of the Sinai (only two states voted against the resolution: France and Israel). He then went on nationwide television to criticize Israel’s refusal to withdraw. Still Ben Gurion would not budge. Finally, Eisenhower threatened that if Israel did not withdraw, he would approve trade sanctions against the country and might also cut off all private assistance to Israel, which amounted that year to $40 million in tax-deductible donations and $60 million annually in the purchase of bonds. Ben Gurion relented, and the Israelis pulled out completely from the Sinai, without having obtained any guarantees from Egypt.This history has certainly not been acknowledged by the “Palestinians,” so determined are they to paint Israel as a creation of the Americans, which in turn is supposed to explain and justify present-day American aid to the “Palestinians.” Even in the Six-Day War, though Israel did have some American weapons, notably Sherman tanks, Israel’s victory was secured in the first day of the war, when Israeli pilots, flying not American but French (Dassault) planes, managed to destroy almost the entire Egyptian Air Force, some 338 planes.Israel was not, pace Abbas and his henchmen, America’s creation, not in the Mandate period, not during its War for Independence, not during the Sinai Campaign, not in the Six-Day War. Nor has it been hopelessly dependent on America since. In fact, over time, the Israelis with their ever-increasing technological marvels — remember Stuxnet? — have been the greatest foreign source of military advances for the American forces, giving, in the literal sense, as good as they get. And no other country has been as helpful to the United States in sharing valuable intelligence about the Islamic world as Israel. Think only of the daring Israeli raid earlier this year, when 100,000 Iranian documents pertaining to its nuclear program, held under the tightest possible security, were located and smuggled out of the country by Israeli agents, “one step ahead of the Iranian authorities.” These documents were, of course, shared with the United States.The American government owes the “Palestinians” nothing. Enough absurd claims about “five million refugees.” The Americans will help pay for 20,000-40,000 refugees who left Palestine/Israel between 1947 and 1949, but not for five million children and grandchildren of those refugees. We’ve done more than enough. As for the aid given directly to the “Palestinians,” if they do not halt their “pay for slay” policy, and refuse to end their practice of honoring murderers by naming public places after them (and do not rename those already so named), then why are they entitled to anything? They are promoters of Islamic terrorism. They subsidize, and honor, Muslim terrorists. End of story. They are not different in kind, but only in degree, from those in Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. They can forget about America, and instead make the rounds of their Arab “brothers” in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the Emirates, Qatar, none of whom have in the past been exactly generous with the “Palestinians” — including those who have lived in their countries for decades, but have been prevented from obtaining citizenship, and barred from many occupations. Let the Palestinian Authority hold out its begging bowl everywhere it goes. It will be fascinating to see the response.________________________________________________________________SEE ALSO:
UK: MUSLIM DOCTOR CONVICTED OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE, MANSLAUGHTER ALLOWED TO PRACTICE MEDICINE AGAIN
The mother of a boy who died after a paediatrician mishandled his case has hit out at the decision to reinstate her.Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba was struck off in January after being convicted of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of six-year-old Jack Adcock.But she challenged the decision at the Court of Appeal, which yesterday unanimously ruled her name should be restored to the medical register and a previous punishment of of a year’s suspension was sufficient.Jack’s mother Nicola Adcock has called the ruling ‘an absolute disgrace’.She told ITV News: ‘It makes a mockery of the justice system.‘If she’d (Dr Bawa-Garba) have done what she should have done that day I know my son would still be here 99.9% and I will never budge from that.’Jack, from Glen Parva, Leicestershire – who had Down’s syndrome and a heart condition – died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011 after he developed sepsis.In 2015 Dr Bawa-Garba was sentenced to two years in prison suspended for two years at Nottingham Crown Court.The judge said neither she nor a nurse who was on duty ‘gave Jack the priority which this very sick boy deserved’, which included a misdiagnosis from the paediatrician.She had also mistakenly marked him as ‘do not resuscitate’ after confusing him with another patient.Mrs Adcock added in interview with Leicester Mercury: ‘We feel absolutely devastated and let down. What they have done is a mockery of the justice system.‘She has contributed to a child’s death, but she’ll be able to work again.‘What does it take to be struck off as a doctor?’…
Fulani Muslim militants launched raids on eight villages in central Nigeria this week, burning alive a Christian pastor along with his wife and three of their children.In the village of Abonong in Plateau State, the Islamic raiders, armed with machetes and AK47 rifles, looted and destroyed 95 houses, along with farmland and three churches. They killed Pastor Adamu Gyang Wurim and his family by setting fire to their house while they were inside and shot the pastor’s wife in the bathroom. The assailants killed two other villagers as well, wounding several others.The attack, which began Tuesday evening around 8:00 p.m., lasted over four hours before security personnel finally arrived on the scene. By then the attackers had razed much of the villages of Abonong and Ziyat, and stolen valuables including electronics, mattresses, food, and livestock.The incident occurred just 24 hours after a two-day peace summit in Jos organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria with the theme, “Sustainable peace and security in Northern Nigeria as a panacea for development.”A local lawyer, Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri, spoke with one of the three surviving children of the pastor, who was away at the University of Jos at the time of the attack and learned of it on Facebook.“When I called a friend to find out about the situation, the report I received was very devastating,” the young man said. “I couldn’t believe that all my family members have been engulfed in the pogrom. On reaching home, I saw my daddy and younger ones burnt beyond recognition.”“The three of us left don’t know what to do, especially now that we are still students who have nothing to hold on [to],” he said…..

The Fascination and Veneration of Another Mary

As millions of people travel to Lourdes, France in search of divine healing, some evangelical missionaries are warning that many are revering the Virgin Mary more than the Lord Jesus Christ. One Catholic said: “Mary takes Jesus’ place on the cross. People come from far and wide to bring honor to her, to ask her for healing, to pray to her.” Many of the pilgrims bring their statues of Mary, rosaries, and holy water.
Every year over 6 million people – Catholics and people of other faiths – visit Lourdes where they believe Mary appeared in 1858 on several occasions. The Vatican has declared the location a holy site for worshipers, with many believing that a cave with a natural spring, where Mary is said to have appeared, has healing properties. Each year, 350,000 people bathe in the spring, while over 7,000 have asked the Vatican to confirm their healings as a miracle. People come from all walks of life to visit the grotto. Buddhists and Hindus, Catholics and superstitious people are there. The wealthy and poor, young and old, black and white, western and eastern are there. They all walk together – unified in their hope and expectation of healing. Read entire article.
Mike’s Comment: Not only do Catholics embrace another Jesus, they believe another
gospel, and venerate another Mary. Their fascination with apparitions claiming to be Mary may be part of Satan’s last days’ deception. We know from God’s Word that “the coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders” (2 Thess. 2:9). As the Day of the Lord approaches, we should not be surprised if apparitions continue to increase. Satan’s ultimate goal is to rebuild the religious tower of Babel, so he can receive the worship he has always craved. This is well documented in my DVD message The Coming One-World Religion. |

The Divine Attributes of the “Catholic Mary”
Mariolatry is defined as “excessive veneration or worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus.” The word literally means “Mary-worship.” Catholics insist they only venerate Mary and stop short of giving her divine worship. Yet, the chart above shows how the Roman Catholic Church has created “another Mary” who is a blasphemous distortion of Mary revealed in Scripture. She has been given many of the divine attributes of the Lord Jesus Christ. |

“CAIR’s challenge comes months after an annual report on the status of civil rights for Muslims in the United States, which found more Islamophobic episodes were instigated by federal agencies than either hate groups or individual bigots.”The idea that the FBI, as cowed, clueless, and compromised as it is, is riddled with “Islamophobia” is absurd beyond measure. This lawsuit is a clear attempt to hamstring and destroy even the feeble counterterror efforts that the FBI is pursuing today, which will have the effect of clearing away still more obstacles in the way of the advancing jihad. I’ve said for years that Hamas-linked CAIR has opposed every counterterror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented, and this lawsuit is further confirmation of that fact.“FBI, Border Patrol Bypass Hate Groups As Leading Perpetrators Of Anti-Muslim Incidents,” by Arvind Dilawar, Shadow Proof, August 28, 2018 (thanks to Marvin):The Council on American-Islamic Relations filed suit on August 8 against Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other federal agencies, which it accuses of creating “a kind of second-class citizenship” for American Muslims.The lawsuit argues these agencies use an interagency watchlisting system that separates American Muslims from their children, denies them employment opportunities, prevents them from traveling by air, and rejects or delays their immigration benefits.CAIR’s challenge comes months after an annual report on the status of civil rights for Muslims in the United States, which found more Islamophobic episodes were instigated by federal agencies than either hate groups or individual bigots.The report, based on complaints made to or investigated by CAIR, found the number of anti-Muslim incidents rose 17 percent between 2016 and 2017. It described some of the personal experiences of discrimination.“Targeting by Customs and Border Protection” ranked within the five most prevalent kinds of abuse in 2017–a first since CAIR began issuing its annual report. CBP-related incidents outpaced even hate crimes to become the second most common type of discrimination last year.CBP’s Islamophobia most frequently takes the form of racial profiling and invasion of privacy, explained Zainab Arain, a CAIR research and advocacy coordinator and author of the organization’s most recent civil rights report.“Muslim travelers are often taken to secondary inspection and questioned about their background, their communication, and their contacts in the United States,” Arain shared. “They are asked religious questions that have nothing to do with the mission of CBP, which is to determine if individuals are lawfully permitted to enter the country.”Besides being an abuse of power by CBP, Arain emphasized the unconstitutional nature of religious questioning.“They are also seizing and searching people’s electronics at the border without probable cause,” Arain continued. “If someone refuses to unlock their device, CBP will often take it from the individual and keep it to jailbreak.”Unlike CBP, the FBI has regularly appeared as a leading perpetrator of anti-Muslim discrimination in CAIR’s annual reports, most recently coming in fourth place.The FBI’s targeting of Muslims most often involves unwarranted surveillance of and unjustified visits to mosques, homes, and workplaces to question people about their social networks and religious beliefs.“Questions include: Do you know so-and-so at your masjid? Do you know anybody who is ‘radicalized?’ What do you think about such-and-such imam? What are your thoughts about this school of religious thought?” explained Arain. “Such behavior discourages Muslims from exercising their first amendment right to free practice of religion because they feel threatened.”Taken together, federal agencies were responsible for 35 percent of all documented complaints–more than any other category, including harassment, hate crimes, and employment discrimination.In its report, CAIR attributes this “almost unprecedented level of government hostility toward a religious minority” to the presidency of Donald Trump in general and his multiple executive orders banning Muslim travel to the U.S., which spurred 18 percent of all recorded Islamophobic incidents from 2017….
Chris Cabrera, a Border Patrol agent in South Texas, warned: “What’s coming over into the U.S. could harm everyone. We are starting to see scabies, chickenpox, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections and different viruses.”
In 2002, the CDC said: “Today, the proportion of immigrants among persons reported as having TB exceeds 50 percent in several European countries, including Denmark, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. A similar proportion has been predicted for the United States”.
