This Week in the World Affairs Brief:
DOMESTIC TERROR HINDERS UN REFUGEE AGENDA
As the UN General Assembly held a “Summit on Refugees and Migrants,” two violent attacks by Muslim residents of the US effectively thwarted any positive reception among the American public to this major propaganda event which pushed for all member states, especially the US, to permanently relocate hundreds of thousands of refugees to their home countries. Every time another young Muslim gets influenced by government agent-provocateurs to go off on a berserk killing spree, the public correctly concludes that young Muslims males don’t adequately assimilate into Western culture, and pose a threat of instability and violence. But what is even more interesting to observe is that globalist tactics to keep Americans fearing domestic terror and to be more accepting of Muslim refugees are working at cross purposes with each other. This week I’ll explain why these two evil agendas can’t be coordinated closely leading to these kinds of conflicting impacts.

FBI Lies Again: NYC Bomber Was On FBI "Radar" After All
posted by askousen - Friday, September 23 2016
During a press conference yesterday morning, amid desperate efforts to placate political pressure to maintain the narrative of a lone-wolf bomber - not terrorist - who may have "had a beef" and just happened to be a muslim, William Sweeney, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York division, stated unequivocally:
"There is no indication that the suspect was on the FBI's terror radar" adding that there was "no indication that there's a [terrorist] cell operating" in the New York area and had no information about Ahmad Khan Rahami's "path to radicalization."
Phew - so we can rest assured that all the money spent on systems and surveillance was not wasted and this was perhaps just some mentally unstable man (who just happened to be Muslim and taken a trip or two to Afghanistan). — ZeroHedge

Obama Used His Final UN Address To Promote A 'Liberal World Order' And A Palestinian State
posted by askousen - Friday, September 23 2016
During Barack Obama's eighth and final address to the United Nations he let his true colors show. He staunchly defended globalism, he took several not very subtle shots at Donald Trump, and he boldly declared that Israel "cannot permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land". That statement about "Palestinian land" was extremely alarming to many, because there are indications that Obama may decide to support a UN Security Council resolution that establishes the parameters for a Palestinian state during his final months in the White House. Barack Obama has promised to squeeze every ounce of "change" out of the remainder of his term that he possibly can, and his last UN speech showed what is on his heart at this moment. — End of The American Dream

Bomb Suspect Spent Time In Afghanistan And Had Money Trouble
posted by askousen - Tuesday, September 20 2016
Here's what we know about Ahmad Khan Rahami, the suspect in weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey, who was taken into custody today after a shoot-out with police and charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and two counts related to possession of a weapon:
He was born in Afghanistan on January 23, 1988.
....State records show no criminal history for Rahami. But according to the New York Times, "a high-ranking law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation," says Rahami spent over three months in the Union County Jail on weapons and aggravated assault charges in 2014. A grand jury declined to indict him. The Times also quoted the official as saying Rahami spent a day in jail in February 2012 for allegedly violating a restraining order, and in October 2008 he spent another day in jail for unpaid traffic tickets. — NPR

The report from the department's Office of Inspector General found that nearly 900 individuals were granted citizenship because neither the agency nor the F.B.I. databases contained all of the fingerprint records of people who had previously been ordered to be deported.

I Protected Hillary Clinton In The Secret Service - Here's Why Her 'Fainting' Video Really Scares Me

But the staffer can't move Mrs. Clinton. Anything that holds up a motorcade is extremely dangerous and anything that ties up a Secret Service agent's hands from drawing their pistol or intervening a threat is a hazard.
The female agent at the front of the van is scanning. She sees Mrs. Clinton odd behavior as well. The female agent begins backing up to the entrance of the van to shield both sight and anyone approaching—as is procedure. She keys her mic signaling that the van is about to move.

Gary Johnson cuts into Clinton's lead
posted by askousen - Saturday, September 17 2016
Gary Johnson was never supposed to be a problem for Hillary Clinton.... But as national and battleground polls tighten and Democrats' hand-wringing grows more urgent, operatives both within and allied with Clinton's political operation who are looking around to explain Trump's new polling strength are growing increasingly wary of the former New Mexico governor. His appeal with young and libertarian-leaning liberals, they worry, could create a growing headache for them in western states like Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona - if not yet reason to believe he could hand the states to Trump.
For now, Clinton's national team and Democrats close to them chalk up Johnson-focused concerns to classic liberal panic, especially as they think his window is closing. While a new national Quinnipiac poll this week showed 60 percent of Clinton voters and 50 percent of Trump voters want to see Johnson on the debate stages — Politico
