Yes…… The Canadian Free Press had to publish this, perhaps because America no longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared that they might be considered racist.

North Norea...

  

Kim Jung Un had NO military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general.
This snot-nosed twerp had never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership.
He hadn't even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a sports team, or commanded a militaryplatoon.So he is made the "Beloved Leader" Of North Korea.Terrific!!!Oh nutz! I'm sorry...

I just remembered that we did the same thing.


We took an arrogant phony community organizer, who had never worn a uniform, and made him Commander-in-Chief.
A guy, who had never had a real job, worked on a budget, or led anything more than an ACORN demonstration, and we made him "Beloved Leader" of the United States - Twice!!!!!
So if you think North Koreans are stupid...

I'm sorry I brought this up..... Never mind

Look at this little guy. . .

Hello. Don’t recognize me? That’s OK; I Understand. My name was Antonio West. I was the child who was shot in the face at point blank range by two black teens, who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot.
I think my murder and my mommy’s wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then disappeared.

A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick, Georgia ruled the black teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty... too bad it was me who got the death sentence from my killers instead, because Mommy didn’t have the money they demanded. See, my family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder wasn’t ruled a ‘hate crime’.

Oh, and President Obama didn’t take a single moment to acknowledge my murder. He couldn’t have any children who could possibly look like me - so why should he care?

I’m one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media didn’t care to cover the story of my being killed in cold blood.

There isn’t a white equivalent of Al Sharpton, because if there was he would be branded a ‘racist’. So no one’s rushing to Brunswick, Georgia to demonstrate and demand ‘justice’ for me. There’s no ‘White Panther’ party, either, to put a bounty on the lives of the two black teens who murdered me.

I have no voice, I have no representation, and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life. Isn’t this a great country?

So while you’re out seeking ‘justice for Trayvon’ and Michael Brown, please remember to seek ‘justice’ for me.
Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee-shirts with my face on them, and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon. I won’t hold my breath, I don’t have to anymore.

All this in just 48 days yet no national news. Want to know why?
Because this happens EVERY single day in America and we are used to it.

Yet a THUG getting shot by a Police Officer doing his job, 20 minutes after the THUG committed a robbery, makes national news! So why is this everyday phenomenal rate of blacks killing whites, not to mention the far worse rate at which blacks kill each other, generates riots or is addressed by black leaders as a problem within their community, but an occasional killing of a black by a white police officer, a black who is usually
doing something dangerously criminal, becomes a riot?

When the statistics speak we see that there is an epidemic of violence coming from within the black community that seriously endangers the remainder of the population. So, where is the true injustice and tragedy?

We have a black president, a black attorney general and an irresponsible press committed to misleading the people of this country because it fits their liberal 'politically correct' agenda and it’s getting worse not better.
Think about it when you vote in November.

 

 

This is a very important email and I pray that each you will read it carefully. Dick Pepper Subject: The upcoming election: Please read and share. Thank you.

 

The following was written by an attendee of the meeting of 1000 Christian leaders with Trump. (No media was allowed in). Faithful Christians are having a very difficult time with the direction our country is headed. This November, NOT voting is NOT an option. Here’s why. On June 21, 2016, over 1000 Christian leaders from all over the U.S. gathered at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square to ask Donald Trump tough specific questions about his policy and intentions should he be elected POTUS. Seems a LOT of Christians are bothered by the idea of having to vote for him and this would be a chance to meet privately to ask questions. After opening remarks by the conference organizers, and an opening prayer by James Robison, Jerry Falwell Jr. spoke, followed by Franklin Graham. Both attested to the authenticity and trustworthiness of Donald Trump. George Barna, the polling guy, spoke. Using several charts he showed that Trump has a genuine path to victory if Christians vote. But in the last presidential election, some 40 million evangelicals stayed home and that was literally the difference in the election. One of Barna’s charts showed most of the country wants a change in direction. Barna said the election will come down to who wins these states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin. Then Ben Carson spoke for about 20 minutes. His easy and soft-spoken style easily warmed the crowd. He referred to the fact that Trump just had a bad three weeks, while Clinton had a good three weeks, and yet the race is still close, virtually tied. But Carson's main point was that Trump is a proven leader. And that he’s certainly not a politician who is always worried about offending someone. And that’s what we need, a leader, not a politician. Politicians are what got us into this mess to begin with! Ben Carson was awesome. Next came Mike Huckabee, who moderated the discussion between the attendees and Trump. Before introducing Trump, he made the point that we’re not voting on a pastor, or a Pope, but rather a leader. A leader who is quite different from the past to change things from the status quo. So the day was set that this was not about Trump’s Christian knowledge or virtues, but rather where Trump wanted to take the country. And where we’re headed if Trump’s not elected. The biggest concern centered around the Supreme Court. The next president will appoint anywhere from one to five members. The Second Amendment, public bathroom policies, prayer in public places, etc. will likely be settled by the next president’s appointees. When Trump was introduced, he didn’t speak from the podium but rather, sat next to Huckabee on the stage fielding questions from the crowd for about 90 minutes. So much for the 20 minutes originally allotted. There was no press allowed inside, so it was just Trump and the Christian leaders talking back and forth. The really big Christian leader names were pre-selected to directly ask Trump questions from the floor, i.e. people like James Dobson, Ralph Reed, David Jeremiah, Tony Perkins, Robert Jeffress, etc. Most feel religious liberty is at stake with this election saying that if the policies Obama has set in place were allowed to continue, Christians would eventually have no liberty. Harassment of Christian organizations would continue. Through it all, Trump answered each of our questions with solid answers, both acknowledging the problem cited and how he would take care of the problem. He seemed to be genuinely concerned about changing the direction of the nation. Trump addressed many subjects including the Supreme Court, national defense, border problems, Christian persecution, his pro-life stance, support of Israel , dumping Obamacare, education control back to the states and energy. All with conservative positions and answers. I would say that most of those who attended, who were not sure if they would vote for him, left convinced of how much is at stake in this election if Trump is not elected. After Trump left, to a standing ovation, more questions were taken from the audience addressed to a panel of Christian leaders. Things like the dismantling of the military, Christian business rights, etc. were discussed at length. The last speaker was Eric Metaxas, who I had never heard of... but he was excellent. I have to say, we pretty much all came away thinking that if Clinton, or any Democrat, is elected, the path this nation's on currently will continue and WILL lead to disaster. If we don't turn the ship now, we’re headed to be like socialized Europe -a disaster getting worse by the month. A LOT is at stake in this election! Our hope is in Christ, and our prayer is for one last chance (think Nineveh) so when the Lord takes out the Church at the Rapture, He will take us out in a revival, instead of bailing us out of a spiritual disaster. We want to finish well! At the end of the day, it was time for prayer. With few exceptions, the entire room knelt on the floor in corporate prayer for our nation. Everyone should pray daily for our country and add Mr. Trump to your prayer list even now. He is so upsetting to the “establishment” that it's not a stretch to think his life’s in danger. The bottom line for me personally is that I love the Constitution more than I dislike Trump’s antics and ego. He will attempt to change the direction of this nation. Clinton won’t. With Trump, we have a chance. With Clinton, we have no chance. It is very important that we vote this year. It’s one significant way of loving our neighbor. Please allow your Christian friends to read this. All Christians in our Nation must vote

UH-OH: State Dep’t Recovered 30 Benghazi-Related Emails From Hillary Clinton’s Illegal Private Server...

State Department attorneys said Tuesday the agency had discovered 30 Benghazi-related emails among the records recovered from Hillary Clinton's private server.

A judge asked the agency to hasten its review of the documents in preparation for release to Judicial Watch, the conservative-leaning group that filed the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

The emails were included among the roughly 15,000 emails FBI agents said they pulled from Clinton's server in the course of a year-long probe. Others were deleted beyond recovery after the Democratic nominee's team used a digital tool called BleachBit to scrub the hardware that was eventually confiscated by law enforcement agents.

Some of recovered Clinton emails deal with the Benghazi:

Agency lawyers said during the hearing Tuesday before Judge Amit Mehta of U.S. District Court that they had not yet determined how many of the Benghazi-related emails had already been disclosed in the batch of 55,000 pages of emails Clinton turned over in late 2014.

Judicial Watch attorneys had asked the State Department to examine the deleted records in order to determine whether any fell under to its FOIA request for emails that mentioned Benghazi.

The discovery of 30 such emails is significant because Clinton has repeatedly assured the public, Congress and FBI agents that she turned over all work-related communications in late 2014.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, noted on Tuesday that the State Department had asked for 30 days to review the new records before releasing them to the group.

The lawsuit is one of several filed by Judicial Watch in pursuit of records related to Clinton's tenure.

In a separate case, the group sent Clinton 25 written questions about her decision to set up a private email network. Her responses, which she must submit within 30 days, will be considered sworn testimony by the court.

New emails creating fresh problems for Hillary Clinton:

It is unclear how many emails were deleted beyond recovery by Clinton's team when they applied BleachBit to her server system. She claimed during a press conference in March 2015 that she "chose not to keep" roughly 30,000 emails she had deemed personal in nature.

But FBI Director James Comey said last month that his agents had pulled thousands of work-related records from the server, raising questions about how she determined which records to disclose and which to delete. source

Iran Deploys Russian Made Long Range Missiles To Protect Their Fordo Nuclear Site...

New post on Now The End Begins

Iran Deploys Russian Made Long Range Missiles To Protect Their Fordo Nuclear Site Tehran has deployed a recently delivered Russian-made long-range missile system to central Iran to protect its Fordo nuclear facility, state television said Sunday. Protecting nuclear facilities is paramount "in all circumstances" General Farzad Esmaili, the commander of Iran's air defences, told the IRIB channel. "Today, Iran's sky is one of the most secure in the region," he added. A video showed an S-300 carrier truck in Fordo, raising its missile launchers toward the sky, next to other counter-strike weaponry. Commander: Iran fully protects its nuclear sites The images were aired hours after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a speech to air force commanders, including Esmaili, in which he stressed that Iranian military power was for defensive purposes only. "Continued opposition and hype on the S-300 or the Fordo site are examples of the viciousness of the enemy," Khamenei said. "The S-300 system is a defence system not an assault one, but the Americans did their best for Iran not to get hold of it." The Fordo site, built into a mountain near the city of Qom has stopped enriching uranium since the January implementation of a nuclear deal with world powers. Under the historic accord, Iran dismantled most of its estimated 19,000 centrifuges -- giant spinning machines that enrich uranium, keeping only 5,000 active for research purposes. Iran and the United States, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia negotiated for more than two years before signing a historic July 2015 agreement that removed some international sanctions in return for curbs on Tehran's controversial atomic programme. source | August 29, 2016 at 10:24 am | URL: http://wp.me/p1kFP6-bVr Comment    See all comments

CRISIS: Internet to Have Global Governance October 1. Call Congress! Better Censorship for Tyrants; Greece: The Freedom-of-Speech Canary Died

In this mailing: Judith Bergman: CRISIS: Internet to Have Global Governance October 1. Call Congress! Maria Polizoidou: Greece: The Freedom-of-Speech Canary Died CRISIS: Internet to Have Global Governance October 1. Call Congress! Better Censorship for Tyrants by Judith Bergman  •  August 29, 2016 at 6:00 am The U.S. announced its plan to pass the oversight of the agency to a global governance model on October 1, 2016. The Obama Administration says that the transition will have no practical effects on the internet's functioning or its users, and even considers the move necessary in order to maintain international support for the internet and to prevent a fracturing of its governance. Oh really? The absence of the U.S. in overseeing the governance of the internet could spell the end of the current era of free speech on the internet, as well as free enterprise. What guarantees are there that internet governance will not eventually end up in the hands of those very governments, seeing as they are all very eager to gain control of it? None. The Geneva Declaration of Principles makes clear that the UN, run by a majority of authoritarian governments, wants a decisive role for governments in internet governance. Civil society groups and activists are calling on Congress to sue the Obama Administration -- perhaps at least to postpone the date until more Americans are aware of the plan. It is not too late. Very soon, on October 1, 2016, much of the internet's governance will shift from the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) authority to a nonprofit multi-stakeholder entity, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, also known by its acronym ICANN. Until now, NTIA has been responsible for key internet domain name functions, such as the coordination of the DNS (Domain Name System) root, IP addresses, and other internet protocol resources. But in March 2014, the U.S. announced its plan to let its contract with ICANN to operate key domain name functions expire in September 2015, passing the oversight of the agency to a global governance model. The expiration was subsequently delayed until October 1, 2016. According to the NTIA's press release at the time, Continue Reading Article Greece: The Freedom-of-Speech Canary Died by Maria Polizoidou  •  August 29, 2016 at 4:00 am The Minister for Immigration Affairs himself, repeatedly stated that 50% to 70% of migratory flows to Greece were illegal migrants and the rest were refugees. The illegal migrants come from 77 different countries. If it is a "racist crime" for a citizen to express accurately the percentages of refugees and illegal migrants entering the country, what will come next, the Thought Police? The real reason for prosecuting Bishop Markos, it seems, is that the government expects that Turkey's migration deal with the EU will collapse, and that if it does, the migrant flows in the coming months will increase dramatically. The government, according to some members in the opposition, has no friendly way to manage illegal migration and therefore prefers to impose restrictions on freedom of speech and prosecute anyone who objects. The government might scare the Bishop of Chios Island by pressing charges against him and trying to stigmatize him as a racist. But the government will still not scare the angry majority of Greeks. Left: The Bishop of the Greek island of Chios, Markos Vasilakis, is being prosecuted for incitement to racial hatred, because he correctly observed that most of the migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey were not refugees but illegal migrants. Right: Migrants occupying the port of Chios in April 2016. In coalmines, from 1911 to 1986, canaries operated as an early warning system for the leakage of hazardous gases. Whenever the birds showed signs of distress, the miners knew trouble was coming. Greece has deep problems. Greece is presently in the "coalmine" of an endless economic and immigration crisis. This month, for the first time, there was a request to activate an anti-racist law, passed in September 2014, against a Greek citizen who also has institutional status. The coalition government of Alexis Tsipras (SYRIZA) and Panos Kammenos (Independent Greeks) asked the district attorney to prosecute the Bishop of Chios Island, Markos Vasilakis, because he dared to say, during a sermon, that the thousands of people who recently arrived from Turkey on the island of Chios are illegal migrants, and not Syrian refugees.
