Will Hillary Ever Go Away?

Hillary’s CHILLING promise for Trump (LOCK HER UP!)

MARCH 12, 2018

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a chilling message for the world during her recent trip to India.

America doesn’t “deserve” President Donald Trump’s leadership, Hillary said– and that the Deep State is working hard to take him down.

Won’t this woman ever go away?

Hillary was among top Bollywood stars at an event in Mumbai on Saturday, where she was introduced as the “woman who should have been the president of the United States of America.”

“These are perilous times,” Clinton warned in her speech, and claiming that Trump was connected to the rise of authoritarian regimes under Vladimir Putin in Russia and Xi Jinping in China.

Without a hint of irony, Hillary went on to say that Trump has “quite an affinity for dictators. He really likes their authoritarian posturing and behavior.”

“He does have a preexisting attitude of favorability toward these dictators, but I think it’s more than that with Putin and Russia,” she said.

Hillary also complained about losing the election, insulting American voters by implying they were more interested in reality TV “entertainment” than her policies.

“If people were looking for a reality TV campaign, maybe I should have given them more entertainment! I’m the mother who says, ‘Eat your spinach, you’ll grow up strong.’ Someone else is saying, ‘Eat all the fast food and the ice cream you can possibly stick in your mouth,'” she claimed.

India Today Editor Aroon Purie then asked Hillary if the so-called Deep State has “anything on” the president.

“Well… we’ll find out, we’ll find out,” she answered coyly. “Follow the money.”

Hillary Clinton telling investigators to “follow the money”?

Pardon the pun, but that’s rich.

There Is A Lot The World Could Learn From Israel If They Only Would Listen

What We Could Learn from Israel

To become a successful nation, India realizes that we have to emulate the Jewish quest for spiritual and worldly learning. We need a nation of empowered men and women, free and fearless to develop social, technological, entrepreneurial and humanitarian creativity, even while under constant attack.
When we see the restoration of Jewish State and revival of Judaism in its ancient lands, we Hindus see ourselves. If Judaism is incomplete without the Jewish homeland, the essence of Hinduism is indivisible with the geography of India. Just as Jews were forced out and in exile for millennia, Hindus too suffered a millennium of Islamic and later European subjugation in their own homeland.
Recent terrorist attacks in Brussels, Mumbai, Paris, Istanbul and Ankara are simply what Israel has been living with for decades -- and India, France, Belgium and Turkey do not have "settlements." The conflict is not about "settlements". It is about one group of people trying imposing its will, culture, religion and way of life on another group. With Israel, the "settlements" are only the pretext. If you look at any map of "Palestine," it has the exact outlines of Israel.

For most Indians, it is hard not to feel a deep sense of historic gratitude towards Israel and the Jewish people. The State of Israel came to our military aid in just about every war India fought as an independent nation since 1947. Our elected leaders, in their vanity, polished their statesmanlike credentials denouncing Israel at every possible international gathering, even as they kept on turning to the Jewish State for help in times of dire need, whether civilian or military. From Golda Meir to Ariel Sharon, Israel never turned down any request.
Getting nothing in return, the tiny and beleaguered nation paid a price for its support for India. At times, adversely affecting its relations with China or annoying its most vital ally, the United States, by extending support to a "socialist" country at the height of the Cold War.
If there ever was a true sign of goodwill extended from one nation to another, Israel had shown it toward India and so many other nations, from Zaire to Haiti and elsewhere.
Despite this, it took India more than four decades just to treat Israel as an equal partner on the world stage -- when India established full diplomatic relations with Israel in January 1991.
India, however, had one redeeming quality. Although our political leaders hitched their wagon to the Soviet Union and the Pan-Arab nationalism in the early days of the Cold War, the Hindus of India, who constitute an 80% majority of the country's population, have been steadfast and consistent in their support for the State of Israel and the Jewish people. An international surveyconducted by Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2009 found Indians having the most favorable opinion of Israel, even ahead of U.S. respondents by a small margin. In August 2014, at the height of Gaza conflict, the city of Calcutta staged a 20,000-strong rally in support of the Jewish State, making it probably the largest pro-Israel rally that Asia ever witnessed.
Finally, with the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2014, the India's official policies have begun to reflect the desires and aspirations of the majority Hindu population of the nation.

To become a successful nation, we realize that we have to emulate the Jewish quest for spiritual and worldly learning. We need a nation of empowered men and women, free and fearless to develop social, technological, entrepreneurial and humanitarian creativity, even while under constant attack.
The homecoming of the Jews and restoration of the Jewish State in its historic land has been a source of great hope for us Hindus. When we see the restoration of Jewish State and revival of Judaism in its ancient land, we Hindus see ourselves.
If Judaism is incomplete without the Jewish homeland, the essence of Hinduism is indivisible with the geography of India. Just as Jews were forced out and in exile for millennia, Hindus too suffered a millennium of Islamic and later European subjugation in their own homeland.
After surviving the most vicious genocide in human history -- a brutal and systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe, claiming six million Jewish lives, the Jewish people worked to create a nation based on democracy, freedom, equality for people of all religions and ethnicities -- the only democracy in the Middle East.
Today, over a million Arabs enjoy equal citizenship rights in Israel, and a level of religious liberty and rule of law never seen before in the Middle East. Arab Israelis are present in all walks of Israeli life; holding top positions in business, academia, media, government as well as military leadership.
The tiny nation of Israel absorbed wave after wave of immigration, including a million Jews driven out of the Arab lands soon after the creation of Jewish State in 1948, Ethiopian Jews, and Russians escaping communism. Today, Israel is home to over 80,000 Jews of Indian origin. They have been fully integrated, and have excelled in all areas of society. They serve gallantly in the Israel Defense Force and bring glory to the country in sports. An IDF soldier of Indian origin, Barak Refael Degorker, was killed by Hamas during the Gaza conflict of 2014. Mumbai-born Sarah Avraham became Israel's 2012 women's Thai boxing champion.
As the nation-states of Europe drive toward an impending disaster in failing to assert their spiritual and national identity in the face of the massive influx of Muslim migrants, only the example of Israel offers us hope.
We must admit the failures, based on European liberalism, in our nation-building project. Western-style "affirmative-action" has failed to rid the country of caste-based discrimination, and all that the European style of hyper-sensitivity towards "Muslim sentiments" has done is stifle cultural freedoms in the country. India became the first nation to ban Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses, before even Iran, Saudi Arabia and other theocratic Islamic regimes announced their fatwas and bans. For decades, India shied away from technological and academic cooperation with Israel. India seemed to have been trying to act even more Arab than the Arabs themselves.
Only an enlightened nation, built on a strong bedrock of Hindu unity, can ensure a secure and prosperous future for India. We cannot build a nation on foundations of an unjust and immoral caste system.
Just as the resurgence of Judaism in its historic and ancestral homeland means no threat to the Muslim faith, Hindu resurgence and unity should cause no harm to religious minorities of other faiths. Countries that would like to succeed and thrive would do well to follow the example of Israel.
The terrorism originating from neighboring Muslim lands must not only be countered militarily, but also with a renewed assertion of our on spiritual and national identity.
Arabs and Muslims might surely realize that they themselves have been the biggest losers of the wars of fanaticism they have waged, and turn their attention to rebuilding their societies and facing the real issues of violence, bigotry, ignorance and poverty -- to name just a few.
Until then, we all have a nation to build and a home to defend.
Recent terrorist attacks in Brussels, Mumbai, Paris, Istanbul and Ankara are simply what Israel has been living with for decades -- and India, France, Belgium and Turkey do not have "settlements." The conflict is not about "settlements". It is about one group of people trying imposing its will, culture, religion and way of life on another group. With Israel, the "settlements" are only the pretext. If you look at any map of "Palestine," it has the exact outlines of Israel.
It is beyond our scope, as Indians, to heal the pathologies of the Muslim world. We can only limit the damage by defending our home and securing our national borders.
Until that day comes, we would all do well to stand with Israel.

Will Europe Awaken To Their Invasion Or Will They Continue Their Politically Correct Denial Of The Obvious

Europe is on Fire

By Dr. Phyllis Chesler November 17, 2015 , 10:00 am

Islamists have just massacred hundreds of civilians in Paris. This horrendous deed is being celebrated by ISIS. The President of France has announced that these six separate but coordinated attacks were perpetrated by ISIS.

Whether it was planned by Al-Bagdadi himself; whether a dozen lone wolf internet junkies decided to act on his behalf; whether these assassins were French citizens trained in the Arab Middle East; whether they belonged to another Jihadist group and “jumped ship” and joined ISIS’s march back to the 7th century is irrelevant. These attacks bear ISIS’s signature of the cold-blooded execution of captives, one by one. However, the fact that the killers were themselves not masked reminds me of Al-Qaeda and confirms that they were on suicide killer missions.

These are death artists who specialize in simultaneous “blitzkrieg” or killer bee swarm attacks. They are men who live in the shadows until they are all over their targets.

Some of us, myself included, have been warning about the inevitability of just such attacks. We were not heeded by our colleagues or our leaders.

Thus, despite the exceedingly criminal behaviors of Muslims in France, the “city of lights” may not have been prepared for the fifth-column sleeper cells within its midst, the radicalizing effect of hate propaganda via cellphone, satellite, and within French mosques; it may not have comprehended, fully, the grand territorial ambitions of ISIS and the full-force nature of its aggression.

Have no doubt that such a tragic terrorist attack in France means that Israel is more, not less, vulnerable to similar attacks. Israel and America are the “grand prize.” Europe is merely an already softened-up launching pad. Europe has hoisted itself on its own petard in terms of its multicultural relativism–and its failure to demand that immigrants, especially from Muslim and Arab countries, assimilate or leave.

Lately, horrifyingly, Israelis have been stabbed, one by one. They have not been blown up or shot down in the hundreds as was once the case in the early twenty-first century. This must be due to Israel’s counter-terrorism savvy, vigilance, and genius.

I must note that when such Paris-like terrorist attacks were unleashed against Israeli civilians in the past–for example, in 2001-2002–western media and western leaders quickly scapegoated Israel for having “provoked” them and routinely assumed that Israel could easily stop such assaults if only….Israel gave up more land or collectively jumped into the sea.

Journalists always referred to “cycles of violence,” “the justice of Palestinian resistance,” and the Israeli use of “disproportionate force.”

No one is describing the terrorist attacks in Paris in this way. (They may soon do so in terms of French involvement in Syria).

Jean Raspail saw it all coming and wrote about it in 1973 for which he was attacked as a racist.

In his book, The Camp of the Saints, Raspail imagined a flotilla of millions of immigrants traveling from the Ganges to France. An all-powerful multi-culturally “correct” intelligentsia that had taught Europe that it must atone for its racist, colonial guilt, welcomes the invasion. Europe, (European culture) is destroyed, both from within and without. The novel is raw, thrilling, overwhelming, ironic, cruel, bitter and every bit as brilliant as George Orwell’s 1984.

I wrote about Raspail’s prescient vision in my 2005 book The Death ofFeminism. I doubt that politically correct thinkers ever read it.

Europe did not wake up after 3/11 (Madrid) or 7/7 (London) nor did it factor in the Mumbai massacres in which a small band of jihadists overwhelmed hundreds of civilians all at once and targeted only the religious Jews for torture. Europe did not believe that the attacks against Israel could happen to them. On the contrary. Europe acted as if by sacrificing Israel they would be spared.

Clearly, that is not the case. Will Europe now understand that Muslim jihadists have declared war—real war—against infidels and against the West? That it is both a new and a very old kind of war, one characterized by extra-state actors attacking civilians and hiding behind civilians in order to gain territory—and, at the same time, slowly, carefully, strategically acquiring nuclear weaponry.

Yes, Ghenghis Khan now has chemical and potentially nuclear weapons.

What is President Obama, who called ISIS the JV team, who recently insisted that ISIS was no longer a threat–going to do about it? When is he going to state that the war is against fundamentalist Islam, not against “terrorism,” not against “extremism?” Obama understands that this attack was launched “against all humanity.” He has never understood this when Israel has been under attack.

What is President Hollande going to do about it?

Now, I am going to say something cold-hearted, something that I began thinking about as the people were being murdered in Paris.

If I were in charge of Israeli intelligence I would not share it with anyEuropean country until or unless the EU rescinds its vote on labelling/boycotting goods from Judea and Samaria; until and unless it directed its media to tell the truth about Israel instead of defaming it; until or unless the EU puts Palestinian terrorists on trial for the murder most foul of Israeli civilians.

Will Those Naysayers Now Agree That ISIS Is A Danger?

Michael Hayden: 'Our Fears Have Been Realized'

(Newsmax TV)

Retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden told Newsmax TV Friday that the Paris violence was "certainly a terrorist attack" and said that "our fears have been realized" because the assaults greatly mirror the 2008 terrorism in Mumbai that left more than 160 people dead and hundreds injured.

"We went to school on that attack," Hayden, the former director of the CIA and the National Security Agency, said on "Newsmax Prime." He was being interviewed by hosts J.D. Hayworth, John Bachman and Miranda Khan.

"We had great fear that we would see copycat versions of that attack — and now, I fear that our fears have been realized, and we're seeing that carried out tonight in Paris," Hayden said. "It shows the fragility of free societies. It shows the great danger that international terrorism presents to all of us."

Hayden sized up the Paris attacks quickly: "This is probably a jihadist attack. It's certainly a terrorist attack.

"If you ask me on a forced-choice test to pick a group, I'd say ISIS," he added, referring to the Islamic State. "But we don't know any of that for sure yet.
