Netanyahu's New Media Chief Calls Obama Antisemitic, Claims Kerry Has Mental Ability Of 12 Year-Old

Netanyahu's New Media Chief Calls Obama Antisemitic, Claims Kerry Has Mental Ability Of 12 Year-Old:
"His comments about U.S. officials, including the president and Secretary Kerry, we believe were troubling and offensive.
We obviously expect government officials from any country, especially our closest allies, to speak respectfully and truthfully about senior U.S. government officials," State Department spokesman John Kirby said.
The United States takes offense at comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new communications director accusing President Barack Obama of anti-Semitism and suggesting that Secretary of State John Kerry had the mental abilities of a 12-year-old, the State Department said on Thursday.
It said Kerry had spoken to the Israeli leader on Thursday and understood that Netanyahu “will be reviewing” the appointment of Ran Baratz after a U.S.-Israeli summit meeting at the White House next week..."

Absolute MUST READ!-----The CEO Paying Everyone $70,000 Salaries Has Something to Hide

Great reporting!
The CEO Paying Everyone $70,000 Salaries Has Something to Hide
Inside the viral story of Gravity CEO Dan Price.
By Karen Weise | December 1, 2015
From Bloomberg Businessweek
It seemed too good to be true. 
On April 13, with reporters from the New York Times and NBC News hovering nearby, Dan Price, the young chief executive officer of Gravity Payments, a Seattle-based credit card processing company, told his staff he was raising their minimum salary to $70,000 a year. 
Some employees would see their wages double.
There was more:
He planned to cut his own $1.1 million compensation to help cover the cost.
The idea came to him, he’d later tell the media, after talking to a friend who earned less than he did. He’d read about a study showing that extra income improves the happiness of people who earn less than about $75,000. 
“It’s not about making money; it’s about making a difference,” Price told the Today Show, one of two dozen TV interviews he did in the days following the announcement.
Price’s story rocketed around the world, a capitalist fairy tale to counter growing inequality.
With his tousled long hair and dark brown eyes, Price combined Brad Pitt’s smolder and Boo Boo Bear’s aw-shucks demeanor to become an articulate and attractive messenger...
...But there’s a problem with all those scenarios: The lawsuit predates the raise. 
Lucas did file the case two weeks after Price’s announcement, but according to court records, Price was served with the suit at his house on the afternoon of March 16—about two weeks before the fabled hike with his friend and almost a month before the wage increase announcement.
Washington state allows litigants to serve a defendant before a suit is filed with the court.
Hollon, Lucas’s attorney, says Price informed his brother of the pay hike through an e-mail on April 9, only four days before the New York Times and NBC descended on Seattle.
If the lawsuit wasn’t a reaction to the wage hike, could it have been the other way around? 
After all, Price announced his magnanimous act a month after his brother sued him for, in essence, being greedy.
Lowering his pay could give Price negotiating leverage, too.
“With profits, at least in the short term, shifted to salaries, there is little left over to buy out his brother,” the New York Times reported Price said.
...In a follow-up interview in mid-November, I pressed Price about the inconsistency.
How could what he told me about being served two weeks after announcing the raise be true when the court records indicated otherwise?
...One aspect of Price’s saga is certain: Seventy employees at Gravity now earn far more than they did before. 
Was it altruism or a costly lawsuit that motivated it? 
If his book doesn’t provide answers, perhaps Lucas’s case, which goes to trial in May, will.

Where did that “97% of all scientists agree” comment come from?

Where did that “97% of all scientists agree” comment come from? - Fusion4Freedom
Last week Secretary of State John Kerry warned graduating students at Boston College of the “crippling consequences” of climate change.
“Ninety-seven percent of the world’s scientists,” he added, “tell us this is urgent.”
Where did Mr. Kerry get the 97% figure? 
Perhaps from his boss, President Obama, who tweeted on May 16 that “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous.”
Or maybe from NASA, which posted (in more measured language) on its website, “Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.”
Yet the assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction. 
The so-called consensus comes from a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercises that have been contradicted by more reliable research..."

"Providing yet another piece of evidence that President Barack Obama is shielding the Islamic State group from destruction by American forces, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee told the Washington Free Beacon that U.S. military pilots have confirmed 75 percent of missions against the group have returned with their ordnance because they couldn’t get clearance to fire."

Never depend on the French. NEVER!!-----The New French "Résistance"

The New French "Résistance"

• Some spoke of "resistance," but to them, resistance meant listening to music. A man on a talk show said he was offering "free hugs." 
• A French judge, Marc Trevidic, in charge of all the major Islamic terrorism cases over the last ten years, said a few days before the November attacks in Paris that the situation was "getting worse" and that "radicalized groups" could "carry out attacks resulting in hundreds of deaths." He was quickly transferred to a court in northern France, where he has been assigned to petty crimes and divorce cases. 
• All the French political leaders know that the situation is out of control, but not one will say so publicly. Not one has asked the government why it took almost three hours for the police to intervene during the attack at the Bataclan Theater, where 89 people were murdered and over 200 wounded. 
• France's political leaders are apparently hoping that people will get used to being attacked and learn to live with terrorism. In the meantime, they are trying to divert the attention of the public with -- "climate change!"

"Several weeks have passed since Islamist attackers bloodied Paris. 

France's President François Hollande is describing the killers as just "a horde of murderers" acting in the name of a "mad cause." 

He adds that "France has no enemy." 

He never uses the word "terrorism." 

He no longer says the word "war."
France never was, in fact, at war. 

Police were deployed on the streets. 

Special Forces had to "intervene" a few days later in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. 

That was it..."

Tell me again. Why must the USA take in these people?-----Islamic State Manifesto: Sleeper Cells Sent To Europe Posing As Refugees

Islamic State Manifesto: Sleeper Cells Sent To Europe Posing As Refugees :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism:
The Islamic State claims it sent highly trained sleeper agents to Europe through Turkey posing as refugees as far back as 2012.
A 99-page manifesto issued in January, "Black Flags from Rome," also details the Islamic State (ISIS)'s desire to spark a Europe-wide Islamic insurgency using "Muslim No Go Zones" as bases of operations.
As an example, it claims that some Syrian refugees fled to Italy. 
"No doubt, some of these refugees were undercover fighters of Al Qa'idah and the Islamic State," the manifesto says.
"They were quick to take the opportunity of entering into the different countries of Europe (most probably as early as 2012).
All this was happening under the nose of the European intelligence services whose job during this time (2012) was only to prevent European Muslims from entering Syria. 
(This shows how quick the Islamic groups were in planning ahead. Years before Europe even knew where its Muslim citizens were going - experienced Islamic fighters had already found safety in Europe.)"
These highly trained fighters were instructed to form secret cells and wait until called on by the Islamic State's self-proclaimed caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
At that time they would "continue the Jihad and ... seek revenge for the Western occupation of Muslim lands."
"Black Flags From Rome" claims the sleeper agents were well-trained in urban combat tactics similar to this month's Paris attacks.
It proudly contrasts past Al-Qaida's terrorists with its fighters, whom it describes as "untrained" and "vulnerable," noting that Western intelligence agencies never faced professionally trained fighters with combat experience.
"These young Europeans had been professionally trained, and given training most specific to the context of the war they would battle within Europe," the manifesto says..."

Why are we giving this communist scam one penny of our American money?-----UN climate chief: Communism is best to fight global warming

UN climate chief: Communism is best to fight global warming | The Daily Caller:
"United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres said that democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming.
Communist China, she says, is the best model.
China may be the world’s top emitter of carbon dioxide and struggling with major pollution problems of their own, but the country is “doing it right” when it comes to fighting global warming says Figueres.
“They actually want to breathe air that they don’t have to look at,” she said.
“They’re not doing this because they want to save the planet.
They’re doing it because it’s in their national interest.”
Figueres added that the deep partisan divide in the U.S. Congress is “very detrimental” to passing any sort of legislation to fight global warming.
The Chinese Communist Party, on the other hand, can push key policies and reforms all on its own. 
The country’s national legislature largely enforces the decisions made by the party’s Central Committee and other executive offices."

Benghazi Commission: Obama Admin Scheme Armed ISIS

Benghazi Commission: Obama Admin Scheme Armed ISIS:

“It’s been reported that President Obama signed an Executive Order on Syria in early 2012 [just as he had done for Libya in early 2011], that legally covered the CIA and other U.S. agencies that otherwise would have been in violation of aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war and providing material support to terrorism,” notes Lopez. “Still, such blatant disregard for U.S. national security can only be described as deeply corrosive of core American principles.”

Libya Amb. Stevens was killed by jihadists in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, along with three other Americans."

Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’

Global Crisis: Goldman Sachs Says That Brazil Has Plunged Into ‘An Outright Depression’:
"One of the most important banks in the western world says that the 7th largest economy on the entire planet has entered a full-blown economic depression. 
Brazil’s economy has now contracted for three quarters in a row, and many analysts believe that things are going to get far worse before they have a chance to get any better. 
Earlier this year, I warned about “the South American financial crisis of 2015“, and now it is in full swing. 
The surging U.S. dollar is absolutely crushing emerging markets such as Brazil, and if the Fed raises interest rates this month that is going to make the pain even worse. 
The global financial system is more interconnected than ever before, and the decisions made by the Federal Reserve truly do have global consequences. 
So much of the “hot money” that was created by the Fed poured into emerging markets such as Brazil during the good times, but now the process is starting to reverse itself. 
At this point, it is hard to see how much of South America is going to avoid a complete and total economic disaster."

2) “The paradox of the schools is evident: increased expenditure escalates their destructiveness at home and abroad.”
4) “Skill teachers are made scarce by the belief in the value of licenses… Most teachers of arts and trades are less skillful, less inventive and less communicative than the best craftsmen and tradesmen. Most high-school teachers of Spanish or French do not speak the language as correctly as their pupils might after half a year of competent drills.”
9) “The public is indoctrinated to believe that skills are valuable and reliable only if they are the result of formal schooling.”
10) “School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.”

House Calls for Jihadists

House Calls for Jihadists :: SteynOnline:

"...My eye was caught by this headline from Agence France-Presse: "Belgian Scheme Tries To Nip Radicalisation In The Bud."
Put aside the fact that "radicalization" is itself a weaselly equivocation, and that in Molenbeek it's way past being "in the bud", given that the suburb's residents have played a role in the Paris slaughter, the Jewish Museum murders, the Madrid train bombings, etc, etc.
But, as I say, put all that aside and take the "Belgian scheme" at face value:
Molenbeek (Belgium) (AFP) - In the troubled Brussels district of Molenbeek, politician Sarah Turine is on the frontline of her own war to stop the sons of Belgian families going off to Syria to join Islamic State fighters.
The first step is often to send a sociologist and psychologist to try to re-establish the link between the troubled young man and his family. The next is to flag up the dire consequences of the choice they seem to be about to make.
"We must try to defuse this anger among the young," Turine, who oversees a radicalisation prevention programme in Molenbeek, told AFP over tea at an upscale Arab cafe.
"We have to assure them they have a place here, that they are not second-class citizens, and to undermine the recruiters' arguments," said Turine, a member of the leftist Ecolo party."
Doesn't all this sound awfully time-consuming and manpower-intensive and expensive?
The "first step" is to send round "a sociologist and psychologist"? 
Two trained, credentialed professionals?
In the 21st century, you can't get a doctor to make a house call - unless you're a "troubled young man" of jihadist bent in need of mental-health counseling.
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper not to keep importing and expanding the particular community which produces all these "troubled young men"?...
