Robert Spencer: GOP National Security Leaders ‘Intellectually Bankrupt’ to Attack Trump and Defend Clinton’s ‘Pitiable Record’

Aug 10, 2016 5:12 pm By Robert Spencer

The guardians of a failed foreign policy establishment.

Donald Trump

“Robert Spencer: GOP National Security Leaders ‘Intellectually Bankrupt’ to Attack Trump and Defend Clinton’s ‘Pitiable Record,’” by John Hayward, Breitbart, August 9, 2016:

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, author of the new book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, joined SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Daily to discuss the open letter from 50 Republican national security officials, who declared, “None of us will vote for Donald Trump.”

“It’s really astonishing when you think about Hillary Clinton’s sorry record as secretary of state, in Benghazi, and everything else. The world on fire, the creation of ISIS, all these things can be laid at the feet of Obama and Hillary Clinton,” said Spencer.

He said:

These military leaders, who are indeed chop-blocking Donald Trump, are obviously part of a foreign-policy establishment that has failed, and knows that it has failed, and knows how threatened it is by the candidacy of Donald Trump, and is trying to protect its hold on power. But it’s really, incredibly, almost intellectually bankrupt for them to be going after Trump in defense of such a pitiable record.

Spencer agreed with Bannon that these officials denouncing Trump are the same people who have attacked critics of radical Islam, including himself, Frank Gaffney, and Pamela Geller, over the years.

“These are the same ones who made sure that I was removed as an FBI trainer and a trainer of the military,” Spencer recalled, adding:

I used to go in routinely, from 2005 to 2010, and show them the mindset of the terrorists. You can’t defeat an enemy that you don’t understand, much less one you refuse to understand. They are the foremost exponents of the idea that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Meanwhile, the terrorists keep insisting that it does. And until we listen to them, and until we study what their motives and goals are, we will never be able to defeat them.

Bannon suggested the Republican officials lined up against Trump are angry because he is listening to critics of radical Islam like Spencer, instead of them.

“Absolutely, because the fact is, previously, under the administrations of both Bush and Obama, the foreign policy establishment has been the same,” Spencer agreed. He explained:

Their failed solutions have been applied again, and again, and again. The change of administration didn’t make any difference. Democrats, Republicans, they both buy into all these false assumptions and failed analyses. Trump is different, and that is why he so deeply threatens the political establishment – both the Republican establishment, as well as the Democrats.

Turning to President Obama’s controversial $400 million secret payment to Iran, Spencer said there is “no doubt at all” it was a ransom payment, and Iran is “rubbing their faces in it” by “showing how the hostages were not released until the plane touched down, until they made sure they had the money.”

“It’s an obvious equation, one to one: the hostages were released when they got the ransom payment. It’s very clear. Iran knows it, and they are gleefully showing up Obama as a liar,” Spencer said.

To hold President Obama accountable, he urged Congress to get “something done to make sure there are no more secret deals.”

“The Iran nuclear deal, on the face of it, is bad enough, as I show in the book,” he explained, referring to The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran. “But now, all these secret parts of it have come out, the idea that they can inspect their own sites and all this.”

Bannon noted that the administration keeps pretending its secret deals and “side letters” with Iran were known on Capitol Hill long ago, as the American people reel in shock from each new revelation. Spencer strongly disputed this White House spin.

“They come out in the press, and then the Obama administration has consistently claimed that, oh, yeah, everybody already knew that. It’s all just deception. They’ve been caught lying several times,” he said.

“Of course, Ben Rhodes lied about making out the Iranian regime to be moderate. It was all false. He’s admitted lying. He’s boasted about lying about that. … He’s using them, and he’s continuing to use them, and they still haven’t woken up,” Spencer noted, referring to interviews with Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes, in which he described reporters as lazy, poorly informed, and easy to manipulate for propaganda purposes.

Breitbart News Daily airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.

      It gladdens my heart greatly that Trump is in contact with Jihad Watch. God bless Trump to also be in contact with Robert Spencer and others who know the truth. Today Trump asked some pastors to give it serious thought that it is very much easier for a Syrian Muslim to enter the United States than for a Christian. Trump knowing that fact and making it publicly known ought to sway people to vote for Trump. But it is very unfortunate that America has fallen far from the truths found in the Bible, that is, from Christianity. May God be successful to bless the Americans and others too to repent of their public unrepentant sins and wake up to the great danger of Islam and also to the blindness of many of our leaders of State and even Church.

    Just this morning of FOX NEWS there was a report about how Hillary Clinton had used her “know how” is enable US Companies to get around US governmental sanctions which prohibited any American company to do business with. All the officials had to do was to give a large “donation”‘ to her Clinton foundation. In others words a bribe was made to Hillary Clinton and she took it. As very insidious and treasonous politician she is Nevertheless Hillary still has the extreme gall to want to be the President of the Untied States. So, the evil conceit of Hillary’s mind knows no limit

    Exactly right! GOP National Security Leaders and their democratic counterparts are all traitors who favor and love islam and muslims but hate victims of islamic jihad and those who speak out against the global islamic jihadist agenda. There is NO way that Western civilization will be victorious against the global islamic jihadist movements while such traitors are sitting on the driving seat of Western world.

    I am a registered Republican but because of the asinine stance taken by many prominent (and not so prominent) Republicans towards Donald Trump, flawed candidate though he is, I will probably leave the Republican Party and register as an independent voter should Trump lose this November.

    • Daniel Triplett says

      Aug 10, 2016 at 11:57 pm

      I understand your frustration Sir. I’m a lifelong registered Republican too.

      My mother feels as you do, so switched her registration from GOP to Independent “because she wanted to teach the GOP a lesson.” Her main beef is the GOP obsession with abortion, and all the one-issue Republicans that make moderates and Independents leave our tent.

      But may I suggest to you, as I explained to her, that she will be teaching the GOP nothing? She is just one person, so switching her registration will go completely unnoticed.

      Moreover, as a registered Republican, and an intelligent, articulate member at that, you’d likely have some persuasive clout with well-written correspondence with GOP legislators. But if you’re not one of them, your letter will go to the bottom of the stack, or more likely in the trash.

      The only thing you’ll accomplish, if you switch, is to exclude yourself from picking the GOP candidate in future Primary Elections. I suggest this may leave you even more disgusted and frustrated than you are now.

      Aside from Mr. Trump, the other 15 GOP candidates standing on that stage were dhimmi fools. And without a GOP Card in your wallet, all you can do is watch the selection (or mistake) happen without you.

      Nothing personal Wellington. I say the same thing to my Mom and every other Republican who’s considering burning their GOP Cards.

      You’re an exceptionally smart gentleman, so I have no doubt you’ll do what’s best for America.

      • Wellington says

        Aug 11, 2016 at 12:12 am

        Thank you, Daniel, for your reply. You argued your point well.

        Respecting the specific matter of primary voting and being registered an independent, it would be quite important whether the state one lives in has an open Presidential primary. For instance, Pennsylvania doesn’t but New Hampshire does.

        Best to your and yours. Take care. And, OMG, please let America not have Hillary as its next President.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          Aug 11, 2016 at 6:16 am

          Good points Brother.

          If the GOP race weren’t so tight, or if the by the time the GOP Primary got to my open-Primary State the nominee was already a lock, I’d certainly use an Independent vote strategically in the Dem Primary to put the most easily defeatable fool on the General Ballot.

          God help us if Hillary wins. Eight years of her (even four) will be the end of civilization as we know it. My Siamese cat George would be be a much better POTUS for us. By nature he hunts cobras, and he never tells a lie.

          The really disturbing part of all this is not so much Hillary; it’s a growing American Electorate who would put such a dangerous felon in power. She could sodomize children, and the Demoncrats would still vote for her.

          That’s why I’m hoping DJT radically changes the GOP. We need more Americans in our tent. Otherwise, due to changing demographics, we may never have a Republican President again.

        • Wellington says

          Aug 11, 2016 at 12:17 pm

          Yes, the problem is much larger than just Obama and Clinton. It’s the entire Democratic Party which has gone into Leftworld and which wants to undo what the American Revolution was ultimately about——liberty and limited government. Leftworld cares about social justice and carbon emissions. This constitutes the Left’s priorities.

          To move this agenda forward the Left wants ever expanding government and the erosion of liberty. Just look at where the Left has the most control in America today——-colleges and universities. And it is here that freedom is most limited, what with stupid hate speech codes, control-freak liberal professors who will mark students down for the terrible wrong of disagreeing with their leftism and, in general, an ever increasing Orwellian atmosphere.

          Educational bureaucracy has increased exponentially too. At the small college where I taught for three decades, when I first started there was a Dean of Academic Affairs and that was it. Now there is a Dean and five assistant Deans. An entire staff which virtually didn’t exist when I began teaching at this college respecting involvement in fundraising now is a major arm of the overall administration. And so on.

          Yep, Leftworld in action as even better seen with higher education (increasingly becoming lower education) than with government. Though give the Democrats time (and power) and they will give colleges and universities a run for their money here (principally through the use of a leftist judiciary).

          Good having this back and forth with you, Daniel. Take care.

      Why those cheap remarks towards Trump? Could you point mistakes in his economic or security polices? Such remarks bring you down to the level of people you are criticising.

    • Johan Elzinga says

      Aug 11, 2016 at 3:00 am

      Dear mr Pong, as pointed out above, it is hardly possible for anyone to be brought down to the level of any of the candidates of the Republican parties where it comes to making plans. The candidates are either one issue candidates that chose an issue that is not important to the safety or the economy of the country such as gay marriage or the right to abortion, or they are completely abrasive, obviously have no thought-trough answers to questions about important issues. Trump is of the last category, but he is distinctive because the few issues he stands for are safety and the economic threat of the immigrant influx and the current foreign policy. Issues that are being ignored by all other candidates as I can see, and although I do not believe mr Trump is good for trade relatiinships with the rest of the world, he at least is able to point at the big pink elephant in the room that all othrrs ignore.

    • Westman says

      Aug 11, 2016 at 5:38 am

      The screeds against Trump appear to be PC enshrined as the national image.

      The Presidency is but a train riding upon the rails of Congress which ultimately, short of the instigation of the war powers they stupidly gave to the POTUS, determine the direction of the nation. The President cannot legislate laws or fund wars and can be overriden by Congressional vote.

      I’m not certain, given the permanent nature of an esconched, professional bureaucracy and life-long “serving” Senators, that it really matters who is the POTUS. The wholesale reaction to Trump, (yes he’s somewhat flawed), seems to validate that the leftist PC agenda is well established and forms a new “Sharia” of politics in the Western world. The penalty for apostacy is political death.

      I could be wrong that if the GOP doesn’t stand behind Trump it will mark the end of that political party.

      Of course, that’s what Trump represents – the end of a debt-sucking party, held at the cost of the nation’s future, to which all the world has been feasting. We are about to supersize the portions.

      Aug 11, 2016 at 5:38 pm

      From what i am reading from here in the Netherlands thats exactly what i would do. The republican party is infected with pro-islam demo(c)rat agents.

      America as a whole is now politically where the Netherlands was in 2002. The year we saw a political murder on a man who would have been Dutch prime minister if only mr Fortuyn wasn’t murdered by a left wing voter and political activist.

      Damn those Rhino’!. I hope my fellow conservatives in the States will punish each and every Republican who dont support mr Trump right now!. And by support i mean real support. Show me your Trump stamp or we will never vote for you ever again. We will clean the GOP from all those stinking commies.

      I would like to putt Richard Armitage on the list of traitors. That guy went on state sponsored Dutch television to tell the Dutch how he’s going to support Hillary… That guy is not only fat and ugly!? He’s on the dem(c)rat party list for sure..

They are worse than that woman! As they say”Birds of the same feathers flocking together!” They should all go and join the DNC and leave us alone!

      Agree partly with you Sam, but:

      “A vain, puffed up and corrupt male with an attitude runs against a vain, puffed up and corrupt female with a rectitude. Where is the choice?”

      Does anyone in his or her right mind believe that any president with these characteristics can achieve anything against Islam —?
      Fight corruption with corruption and corruption will win and square its range.

      Islam is the most corrupted and corruptive ideology ever invented, and it works perfect in tandem with corruptible man. Other means than political are required to come to terms with it. –

      If the American people were wise, they would agree not to cast a single vote in this election in order not to validate this farcical Hollywood production – knowing that Hollywood with its derivative: The San Pornando Valley Productions – i.e. The Dead Sea Ministries – is a formidable contender with Islam as the most corruptive influence in the world.
      Hollywood is to pornography what Polanski and others of his cooperating brothers with goyisher kopfe are to Fishbein: A forerunner. It is a subversive Jewish conspiracy only overcome by the divine Jewish conspiracy of John the Baptist and Jesus: the staff/snake of Moses being swallowed by the cross of Christ.

      In the beginning righteous and virtuous Jews taught Gentiles saved by faith to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood. Today repulsive Jews dominate the scene and teach the Gentiles pretty much the opposite.

      – The chimeric and pornographic mind of Hollywood has permeated the American people and the world, and Islam is its nemesis.

      It takes more than a president to fight these two evils, and the current two presidential candidates will both be less than a president.

        ………………………….

        I believe Mubarak is quoting *himself* here. On another recent thread, he was pretending that the only problem with these candidates is that they are both “vain”. Not something most of us here much care about, for good reason.

        Uh huh. This *sounds* reasonably Anti-Jihad, but Mubarak has lauded Muslim rape and murder many times on other threads.

        So what is he doing here? Two things: telling us to give up on looking to any leader to do *anything* to defend us against Jihad, and to accept that since man is intrinsically corrupt that what we *really* need is Shari’ah strictures to keep us in line.

        And we will get that, of course, *from Islam*.

        He has castigated nude bathing, Victoria’s Secret ads, and even allowing women to go out and attend New Year’s Eve celebrations–but has condoned Muslims raping us as a (supposed) result–even raping *six-year-old boys*.

        Riiiiiiight. Hollywood films–including, no doubt, Disney princess movies and inspirational fare like “The Martian”–are as corrupting as a faith that teaches its devotes to rape us in the streets…

        Personally, I hugely enjoyed “Argo”. Not a perfect film, but one that showed us outwitting Muslim barbarians and saving the day–and often having a fun time doing it. Based on a true story.

        And now he tells us not to vote at all. Nor only would this be giving in to despair, it also fulfills the Muslim destruction of democracy.

        ………………………….

        Where to start? Firstly, Mubarak is–rather ham-fistedly–posing as a Christian again. And then, he is trying to gin up animosity between Jews and Christians. Try again, creep–virtually all Jews and Christians are allies here, and are *both* at risk from the threat of Islam.

        And then positing both Hollywood and pornography as intrinsically Jewish is absurd. Jewish people have been involved with all sorts of entertainment, but neither Hollywood nor pornography are exclusively Jewish as he pretends.

        Finally, his claim that Hollywood movies lead inevitably to pornography–and hence is to be thought of in the same sense–is grotesque. Many films made are appropriate for children.

        More:

        What a creep. Flogging the idea that Jews are some sort of ‘corrupting force’ is *not* going to fly with Anti-Jihadists.

        He is also pushing the usual crap that all Gentiles are controlled by Jews, which is ridiculous.

        This is, in fact, a common *Muslim* claim. Mubarak exposes his Muslim roots again.

        – The chimeric and pornographic mind of Hollywood has permeated the American people and the world, and Islam is its nemesis.
        ………………………….

        What absolute rot. I don’t like everything that Hollywood produces, and am even less sanguine about the AVN Awards, but all of it is *downright wholesome* compared to the horror of Islam, which sacralizes pedophilia, the rape of Infidel victims, and sex slavery.

        More:

        It takes more than a president to fight these two evils, and the current two presidential candidates will both be less than a president.

    What Trump already accomplished without being president:

    – Condemning the the political correctness
    – Showing what to do to address the Islam problem: Muslim ban
    – Pointing to Hilliaries crimes and issues
    – Revealing the mainstream media lies
    – Revealing the Obama regime deception about Islam

    No surprise he also entered other wasp nests and the wasps are coming out now in bunches and attack him.

    What Trump has accomplished so far alone makes him a very good candidate for becoming the next president!

      Wouldn’t surprise me if they replaced him even though it would result in Hillary winning just so he couldn’t expose tem for the crooks that the are.
      He wouldn’t run the second time. They only have to stop him now.

  12. Son of the West says

    Aug 10, 2016 at 11:15 pm

    The choice seems to be coming down to nations engaging in physical resistance against Islam as a whole, or see more and more pro-jihad groups rise across the globe. At some point, they cannot be contained and will destroy the nations they infest, replacing them with oppressive Islamic governments. This is the real “domino theory,” because the Muslims have figured out how to exploit the weaknesses of the West, such as trying to be politically correct and avoid Islamophobia.

    People may say “Why are we worried? We have two oceans and a nuclear arsenal.” That’s true, but it won’t help when we leave the gates open, Muslims become entrenched in positions of power, and eventually infiltrate our national command structure to where they can replicate Ft. Hood with WMDs, not just a 9mm.

    I used to think that most Muslims were okay, that we could live with Islam, there were a few bad apples, and most of it was just hysteria. Now, I think it’s become clear that Islam cannot coexist, and does not want to coexist, regardless of those stupid bumper stickers, and needs to be pushed out of Western nations, along with anyone who wants to practice this totalitarian ideology that masquerades as a harmless religion.

    The reason that Trump is so hated out of all proportion to what he has done or said, that he occupies the same position that Goldwater did in 1964. Goldwater strongly opposed communism, the greatest threat to the Western world at the time, but in doing so, he pointed out the stupidity and incompetence of the policy elites who claimed to control everything. Likewise, Trump is doing the same with the morons who want to shove Sharia down our throats. The only hope at this point is that the Republican party, which has turned into a rotten log, will completely fall apart and be reborn after this fall. Maybe then, we’ll actually have a political party that might put the safety of our nation and culture first, and the desires of rabid lunatics last.

      Aug 10, 2016 at 11:38 pm

      Saudis and some others from that region have invested a lot of money in our crooked politicians. We remove on and they will buy the next one.
      Like you said, the only way is to rebuild from the ground up and introduce a system of complete transparency. Anyone holding a public office will have to allow auditors on regular basis examining their assets and their spouses’ assets.
      An elected official cannot set up a foundation in which they have access to any funds.
      In other words make it extremely hard for them to take bribes.

      They thought that just warning the terrorist would make him scale back his activities. When are these idiots going to wake up and see the reality.

    I have been voting since I first could in 1978, and for the first time in the intervening 38 years I feel bereft of choice. I can not vote for the criminal sociopath who belongs in an orange jump suit; and I feel unable to vote for the clown who can not state a cogent policy or keep his foot out of his mouth.

      DJT has articulated plenty of good policy, and I like that he has the balls to say exactly what’s on his mind. He’s a Bazillionaire who talks and thinks like the rest of us.

      I’m not the only one who feels that way Mike. He has more Republican votes than any other man in history. The 50 “Republican” asswipes who signed that suicide note don’t speak for America, and deserve to be Primaried out of office.

      Americans (Republicans for sure) want honest truth; not polished, rehearsed, pandering, poll-tested talking points. Just ask Twit Romney and John McStain.

      Mike Ryan: I also wish that Trump would have the ability to be more careful in what and how he says things, we know, stuff which simply is ammunition for the opposition. Here’s a scenario: But, if, God forbid, Clinton becomes another Obama in office and some Islamist blows himself up near you in some mall and blows off your legs, you would kiss and embrace Trump if all of a sudden he would be president of America and your killer would remain in some Muslim country and with great joy you would feel your legs because they are still there. Catch what I mean? Please vote. America and even the world and Trump need you. Pray for Trump and for your country.

  15. Myxlplik says

    Aug 11, 2016 at 12:48 am

    That was my take on it too Robert. These people in the Republican establishment sat on their laurels as Muslim Brotherhood policy via the Obama Administration infiltrated our government, and these people did nothing, when they should have been sounding the alarm.

    Now with Trump, they will be exposed, or at least out of work.

    • Peggy says

      Aug 11, 2016 at 1:07 am

      From their reaction you can see that they didn’t see it as a bad thing. They are trying so hard to stop Trump now. They were part of it too so no alarms to sound.

  16. Kay says

    It seems to me that if the Republicans don’t win this election, they won’t again have a chance. Democrats have a plan in place to import more future voters for their ticket.

    Also the Supreme Court will possibly have a few vacancies during these next years.

    I keep seeing MSM headlines that Trump is doing worse than ever, but when I check the polling site, it looks like he’s edged up a bit.

    • Peggy says

      Aug 11, 2016 at 1:10 am

      I feel that Trump is the last chance the US and the rest of the world has.
      If he doesn’t win now I doubt he will have another go. Who is going to finance him? I can’t see him using his money again.
      You won’t be able to tell the difference between the next Republican candidate from Democrat.

    It’s important to keep pointing out that the latest Federal statistics on Violent Hate Crimes in the U.S. shows that 58% of these crimes were perpetrated against Jews & 16% against Muslims. Contrary to CAIR’s narrative, the incidence of Violent Hate Crimes against Muslims has NOT increased over the past 7yrs.

    “‘…. the fact is, previously, under the administrations of both Bush and Obama, the foreign policy establishment has been the same…’ .He explained:

    ‘Their failed solutions have been applied again, and again, and again. The change of administration didn’t make any difference. Democrats, Republicans, they both buy into all these false assumptions and failed analyses….'”

    Yup. Indeed, Robert. Well said.

    TIME TO GET BEHIND DONALD TRUMP BUT DO NOT PLACE CONDITIONS ON YOUR SUPPORT BECAUSE THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH FOR US ALL

    A REMARK MADE ITHE ARTICLE LISTED BELOW:

    QUOTE…These guys are literally telling the New York Times that they regard the Obama-crazed media as a closet full of ventriloquist dummies – so lazy they will run whatever press release the White House slips them as if it were independently-researched news, willing to echo any of this Administration’s narratives without question, or even much prompting… and they’re not even slightly worried that anyone in the media will take exception.

    ANOTHER REMARK ON THE SAME SUBJECT
    This is something different from old-fashioned spin, which tended to be an art best practiced in person. In a world where experienced reporters competed for scoops and where carrying water for the White House was a cause for shame, no matter which party was in power, it was much harder to sustain a “narrative” over any serious period of time. Now the most effectively weaponized 140-character idea or quote will almost always carry the day, and it is very difficult for even good reporters to necessarily know where the spin is coming from or why.
    http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/05/09/obamas-foreign-policy-czar-knew-nothing-foreign-policy-really-good-lying/

    All I can say is that as the entire capitalist system worldwide plunges into insoluble contradiction and crisis there is also a corresponding attack on learning and knowledge that is a severe threat to humanity. This comes from all sides and including from the right conservative movement including all those associated with Trump and also with Jihadwatch (I see historical distortion in the comments) but there is far more chance of people associated with Trump and with Robert Spencer actually aiming for the truth.

    The difference between the two may lie on the issue of the Great American Revolution. The Democratic Party is now the vicious (so brutal) enemy of all that that revolution achieved. Now the American Revolution was built upon the Great English Revolution of Cromwell that set capitalism in motion ideologically (I mean the scientific method of the likes of Bacon). It was also the forerunner of the Great French Revolution. If you oppose that then it also means turning their back on all of historical research and learning and also on all of the gains that capitalism as a system has brought especially in the advancement of science. That is what is happening or at least part of..

    I doubt if this started with Yugoslavia but it was there that I noticed it happening in a big way. To put it bluntly massacres were created to order and were blamed on the Serbs. A whole people vilified! A hundred year old nation destroyed! The Srebrenica Massacre was a complete made up fraud from start to finish and in an article I personaly wrote at the time that fraud the “Srebrenica Massacre” was actually in real time manufactured by the Media from among the Muslims who had ended up in Tuzla. I do not have the url on hand but it was as plain as plian can be that those stories about the Serbs creating a massacre of “8000 men and boys” in Srebrenica were made up by the Media in actual time as they descended on Tuzla and false story and western headline ensued.

    It must be remmebered that Bill Clinton told the Muslim Supremacist Jihadist leader that America wanted there to be a massacre of Muslims by Serbs CREATED so that America could join the war and initiate the bombing of Yugoslavia. That was not all. The false stories were endless. There was also the Market attacks where the Muslims attacked their own, the Racak frame up, the false stories conserning Kosovo, and the actual marketing of Kosovo as “Kosova”.

    This is why these stories uncovered by good research (as above) by Robert Spencer are so important. There is a breakdown in human knowledge. That is the most important thing. It is being promoted by the Media. The BBC faced with the internet and in the interest of financial survival has dumbed down totally. Yesterday and today the main topic was: number one some stupid Olympic story and number two that Trump according to Hillary was using violent language and that “words matter” and that is from the wife of the biggest word liar we have ever experienced.

    I believe that Jihadwatch and Pamela Geller (because I like them so much) have a responsibility to answer these lies one by one without ceasing. I mean lies against Donald Trump. We do need a United Front to survive but to fight to defend Trump against lies is a very important start. Our defence of Donald Trump against these media whores and liars must be unconditional and there must be an end on these blogs of statements such as attacking Trump while saying they will vote for him because Hillary is worse. Either support the man or join up with Hillary and Bill. There is no middle of the road here.

      Democracy demands scrutiny, and this is especially so with someone like Trump, who is neither tried nor tested, in high office.

      Voting for him because he’s not as bad as Hilary is a perfectly valid position, and those voters are needed to swing the election against her.

      People don’t need to love the man to vote for him, but nobody should support someone they detest, and I take your point that the vilification of Trump is part of a strategy to get people voting against him, despite possibly agreeing with much of what he is really saying.

    These are people who are willing to allow Hillary to win the election, immediately legalize millions of undocumented Democrats, stuff the courts with rabid, radical, activist, liberal judges who will enact any bill that she proposes. She will further fill all the bureaucratic seats with her crony, corrupt friends from the Bill Clinton era. Everything will be for sale & the tax payers, those who can least afford to pay will be picking up the bill. Hopefully every single one of these sewer rat turncoats will be exposed & mentioned often.

    I should think that Muslims are confident no matter who wins the election.
    Muslims do not care too much if Islam takes over happens this year, next year, next decade, next century, or later.
    World conquest, world domination, is on its way, that’s their eternal carrot.
    The thing is also that they are fully confident, fully arrogant, due to constant brainwashing and their received morality via the Qur’an, peers etc.
    The fire of confidence grows in the belly of the Muslim psyche with each attack, and especially if embellished with “Islamophobia” et al.
    The fire has to be extinguished at the base, at the core, ask any fireman.

    This is 1984, with the Department of Truth. It’s actually quite frightening.

    It is far worse than 1984 – it is 1984, Brave New World, Camp of the Saints, with a little Fahrenheit 451 tossed in. Last ingredient to add is Lord of the World, and we’re done.

    The fools who failed us and broke their oath’s of protecting the US from her enemies, “foreign and domestic” either ignored 911 while its plot was being conceived or were compliant in that plot according to some. Its well known that the FBI and CIA did not have communication during and after Billy goats term.

    CIA directors, FBI and NSA security agents from the late Clinton era and Bush era are losers. It makes sense that these are the same tools that showed Robert Spencer the door. I don’t remember anyone being fired over 911 failures and where the hell have they been for the past 8 years on Hillary and Obama’ squalor of blunders, mistakes and treasonistic behaviors?

    Aug 12, 2016 at 2:47 pm

    50 National Security experts INSIDE the government criticized obama for polarizing and changing the iSIS intelligence reports to downplay the threat.

    50 ex-National Security experts criticize Trump for being ‘unqualified’. Yet, these 50 never joined with the other 50 (with real complaints) who came out against intelligence manipulation.

    The real threat to America is ISIS, and obama, not trump.

    Obama personally and directly responsible for the rise of ISIS. He let them invade Iraq, rejecting calls for Apache helicopters and military assistance.

    it is clear (except to the “EX-experts) that obama and hillary have put america’s national security at risk through incompetence and dishonesty.
