Hacked Pelosi Memo: Obama Helped Create ISIS

by Adan Salazar, Infowars:
Memos obtained by hacker Guccifer 2.0 from former House minority leader Nancy Pelosi’s computer appear to suggest Obama administration policies did indeed lead to the rise of ISIS, as pointed out by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“In short: Our [2003] invasion created the atmosphere for a Jordanian to start a Muslim sectarian war, which ultimately created ISIS,” the October 2014 memo from Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee policy director Mike Ryan states.
The leaked memo reveals the state of affairs “worsened after U.S. troops left Iraq, helping quickly deteriorate the situation further” and give way to the rise of ISIS.

YouTube Strips 'Politically Incorrect' Videos Of Revenue: "Controversial Subjects Like War, Tragedy"

"This is chilling. More subtle than other forms of censorship, this Google/YouTube policy is stripping away the honest debate about some of the most important and controversial topics that are going on in our world. How can people not be allowed to discuss – or especially to criticize – the failed and flawed policies that are dragging us to war? How can it be OK for Secretaries of State and Presidents to fund ISIS and cut deals with human right violators, but not OK for YouTubers to criticize it? "

JUSTICE? …NEVER!! In DNC Fraud Case, Focus Shifts to Video Featuring Process Server Who Mysteriously Died

[Ed. Note: OUTRAGE: Shawn Lucas may have been murdered for serving the DNC with a lawsuit, now a judge is backing DNC lawyers who claim the suit was not properly served.]
by Rachel Stockman, Law Newz:

There is a very strange twist in the class action fraud lawsuit filed against the Democratic National Committee and former Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The recent developments haven’t gotten much mainstream media attention, but they are all documented in federal court. So, we decided to dig into them. And yes, they involve a lawsuit process server — who “served” the DNC with the class action paperwork—and then suddenly died.
The lawsuit, which was actually filed before the Wikileaks document dump, claims that the DNC “actively concealed its bias” from its donors and supporters backing Bernie Sanders. Hundreds of Sanders supporters have reportedly signed up to be part of the class. They have even started a very active Facebook page.

Police Leader Slams NFL's "Downward Spiral" After Kaepernick's "Pig Cop Socks" Stunt

““I think the league is in a downward spiral regarding their obligations to the public ...It’s just ridiculous that the same league that prohibits the Dallas (Cowboys) football club from honoring the slain officers in their community with their uniforms stands silent when Kaepernick is dishonoring police officers with what he’s wearing on the field..."

Magical Thinking

... the more we embrace and encourage state-directed magical thinking, whether it’s of the monetary or fiscal policy sort, what we are actually doing is opening the city gates to the old evil magic and the alt-priests of fascism and totalitarianism.

Ultra-Violent Venezuelan Gangs Ignore Maduro Crackdown: "Better To Fight Police, Than Each Other"

Amid threats of violence, opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro flooded the streets of Caracas today (2 million strong) in a major test of their strength and the government's ability to tolerate growing dissent. However, for a nation that is forced to slaughter stallions for meat, line up for toilet paper, and dying from lack of simple medicines, Reuters reports that there is another destabilizing factor - ultra-violent street gangs are thriving..."It's better to work together than be enemies. It's better to make war with the police than with each other."

Albert Edwards Sees Shades Of 2007 In The Biggest Risk Facing The US Consumer

"The only thing keeping the US out of recession is the US consumer (see chart below). It is difficult to say consumption is driving the economy forward ? rather it is like a woodwormridden crutch creaking under the strain of holding up a deadweight economy. This  recovery ? the fourth longest in history ? is surely nearing its end."

DHS Prepares For Nuke Attack With Massive Order For Radiation Detectors

Earlier this year we noted that Texas game wardens on the southern border have been issued radiation detectors due to concerns that a nuclear or radiological device could be smuggled into the United States through the porous Mexican border.

Records Show Clinton Funnelled Taxpayer Funds To Foundation For Staff, IT Equipment

On The Secession Of French Muslims

"The consensus can be summarized like this: Religious beliefs cannot belong to the public sphere without risking tyranny or civil war. If French citizens want to live in peace democratically, all disturbing subjects -- especially faith in a country of multiple faiths -- must remain strictly private."

How Does It All End?

“[T]he long run meets the present [where] systems that no longer pay their way exhaust their credit and go broke. The Breaking Point is a nonlinear departure on the road to nowhere. It occurs when collateral collapses, burying the public’s faith in fiat money and the institutions that create and regulate it.”

The War on Cash Continues

by Brad Sebion, Moneyandtrading.com via SGT Report.com:

In Wasserman Schultz Case, Obama and Clinton Seem to Wink at the Law

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall Street On Parade:

President Obama holds the highest office in the United States. He has a law degree from Harvard Law and was a former editor of the Harvard Law Review. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton holds a law degree from Yale University. Despite the legal background of the President and former Secretary of State, both seem to be winking at the serious legal issues surrounding the former Democratic National Committee Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Wasserman Schultz has been sued along with the DNC in the Federal District Court of South Florida, where the lead plaintiff, Carol Wilding, resides. The lawsuit is on behalf of Senator Bernie Sanders’ supporters and alleges fraud, negligent misrepresentation, deceptive conduct, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence. There are already more than 100 named plaintiffs and the court was told in the amended complaint that an additional 1,000 have signed retainer agreements to serve as class representatives.

Homeland Security Could Steal What She Can’t Win: “Election Process Is Critical Infrastructure”

by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:
With the announcement that Homeland Security will oversee elections, it is clear that a fair election will not be found, and our leaders will once again be selected for us.
Hillary has not been an easy sell to the public; in fact, people in polls tend to find her untrustworthy, dishonest and unlikable.
So how will she win the election anyway, despite a noticeable lack of enthusiasm from the middle and working classes for her candidacy?
The plan is laid bare. The votes from the overwhelming pro-Trump crowds won’t count; instead, it will be officials within DHS who are loyal to the Democratic party that will monitor elections for fraud, and ‘keep watch’ over the electronic machines.

OBAMA ATF ANNOUNCES BACKDOOR AMMO BAN!

from Conservative Daily:

This is not a drill. The Obama administration just implemented a new regulatory change that has sent the entire firearms industry into a tailspin overnight.
A key ingredient necessary for making gunpowder has been re-classified as a high explosive, making it illegal for any company within the industry to transport or store it as they have for decades.
It all stems from how the ATF regulates a chemical compound known as nitrocellulose. For decades, the firearm industry has been allowed to store and transport wetted nitrocellulose without having to treat it as a high explosive. Manufacturers deliberately mix the chemical compound with water to make it less volatile.

Why Did FEMA Just Put a Rush Order on 5 Million Bottles Of Water?

by Daisy Luther The Organic Prepper:
Sometimes, we can get a hint of things that are to come by watching what the government is doing to prepare. After all, their intel is way better than ours, and they do have a tendency to keep secrets. Of special interest to anyone who like to don the tinfoil and try to figure out what may be coming down the pipe are the actions of FEMA, the agency which is in charge of “managing” emergencies here in the US.
So when they place a large order for something that they want absolutely immediately, I pay attention.
