OBAMA’S SECRET CONCESSIONS TO IRAN REVEALED

From Powerline:

Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) posted documents revealing that President Obama granted Iran permission to stockpile uranium in excess of the 300 kilogram limit set by the nuclear deal. 

Jenna Lifhits of the Weekly Standard has the story. The exemptions had been kept secret for almost a year. However the Trump administration reportedly intended to make them public, which may be why the IAEA decided to reveal them. 

The Obama administration didn’t just keep the exemptions secret. Apparently, it denied their existence. According to Lifhits: 

Some details of the exemptions had previously been leaked. The Institute for Science and International Security revealed in September that Iran had been allowed to exceed certain caps in the deal so that the country could come into compliance with the deal’s terms. 

Administration officials dismissed the. . .report at the time. 

In other words, the administration was dishonest. What else is new? 

Why did the administration keep the exemptions secret?

CAIR’s Hooper: US Muslims suffering from “mental health issues” that cause them to fake hate crimes

Ibrahim Hooper - Gay American Muslim***

From Jihad Watch:

“These false reports unfortunately give ammunition to the industry of Islamophobes who promote the demonization and dehumanization of Islamic Muslims,” says Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim “Honest Ibe” Hooper. 

“Islamic Muslims,” Ibe? Are there non-Islamic Muslims now? 

Anyway, note how deftly Hooper plays the victim card even in the process of being exposed for falsely playing the victim card: the fake hate crimes are not a challenge to the veracity or trustworthiness of Muslims; rather, they’re tools in the hands of the alleged “Islamophobes” who supposedly “promote the demonization and dehumanization of Islamic Muslims” — as if its demonizing and dehumanizing someone to ask him to be honest. 

Hooper added that the Muslim community “is under great psychological stress and tension right now, and that that in itself can cause mental health issues that lead to these types of incidents.” 

Why is the Muslim community, in Hooper’s view, “under great psychological stress and tension”? 

Because of all the hate crimes against Muslims, you see, which drive Muslims so crazy that they…fake hate crimes against Muslims.

*** I use the word "gay" in the pejorative sense, meaning Ibrahim is a total pussy-assed faggot who's afraid to play football, or man up in any way. The word is not meant to connote that Hooper is a homosexual, although he very well might be. I've never heard him deny it.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN: TESLA, PANASONIC AGREE TO MANUFACTURE IN BUFFALO...

From AP:

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese electronics company Panasonic and U.S. electric car maker Tesla said Tuesday they plan to begin production of photovoltaic cells and modules at a factory in Buffalo, New York. 

The two companies said they finalized an agreement calling for Tokyo-based Panasonic to pay capital costs for the manufacturing. Palo Alto, California-based Tesla made a "long-term purchase commitment" to Panasonic. Their statement gave no financial figures. 

The factory in Buffalo is under development by SolarCity Corp., a San Mateo, California-based solar panel company owned by Tesla. 

The PV cells and modules it produces will be used in solar panels for non-solar roof products and solar glass tile roofs that Tesla plans to begin making, the announcement said. 

Production is due to begin in mid-2017. Tesla said it will create 1,400 jobs in Buffalo, 500 in manufacturing and plans further expansion in Buffalo. 

Panasonic also is to work with Tesla on next-generation technology, the companies said.

Trump team seeks names of officials working to "counter violent extremism"

The Obama Administration developed a program, to defang the War against Jihadist Islam, called ":Countering Violent Extremism. (CVE)"

Here's some information on the CVE program from Stephen Coughlin.

Suffice it to say, the CVE is simply a way for our government to "combat terrorism" while ignoring the inherent and treasonous threat from Sharia which is endemic in Islam.

Additionally, the CVE Program attempts to conflate Islamic Jihad with other forms of less prevalent "extremism", such as White Nationalism and Eco-Terror. While those threats are to be taken seriously, when they arise, the fact is, the organizations supporting such extremism are not large or well-funded, and the evidence of their weakness is embodied in the relatively small number of attacks and body-count.

So now we have the incoming Trump Administration looking to get information on all persons involved in the CVE Program within the ranks of our DHS and other departments.

This may be good. This may be very good:

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has asked two Cabinet departments for the names of government officials working on programs to counter violent extremism, according to a document seen by Reuters and U.S. officials. 

The requests to the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security involve a set of programs that seek to prevent violence by extremists of any stripe, including recruitment by militant Islamist groups within the United States and abroad. 

Reuters could not determine why the Trump team asked for these names. The Trump team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Trump has frequently criticized President Barack Obama for not doing enough to battle Islamic militants and for his refusal to use the term "radical Islam" to describe Islamic State and other militant groups. 

Some career officials said they feared the incoming administration may be looking to undo the work that the Obama administration has done on countering violent extremism. 

"They're picking a few issues to ask for people's names," said one government official who spoke on condition of anonymity, reflecting wider fears that those who worked on such issues could be marginalized by the new administration. 

Earlier this month, Trump representatives had asked the U.S. Energy Department for the names of staffers who worked on climate change policy. 

The White House expressed concern that it may have been an attempt to target civil servants, including scientists and lawyers. 

The Energy Department balked at providing names and a Trump spokesman disavowed the request. The State Department declined to comment on specific requests from the Trump transition team. 

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. In a Dec. 9 email seen by Reuters, Trump representatives at the State Department sought a list of positions in the counterterrorism bureau's office of countering violent extremism. 

"Please indicate names of people serving in those roles and status (political or career)," the email said, referring to political appointees and career civil servants. 

Three U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a similar request had been made to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In that case, the Trump transition team asked for the names of members of an interagency task force on countering violent extremism that the Obama administration established in January, the officials said. 

According to a Jan. 8 DHS statement, the task force falls under the leadership of DHS and the Department of Justice, and includes officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Counterterrorism Center and other government agencies. 

Several of Trump's top national security advisers have cast the fight against Islamic militants as an existential conflict between civilizations, according to a review of their writings and public remarks.

Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz: Defund the UN unless it repeals its anti-Israel vote

Trump Says, "Well Done, My Good and Faithful Servants!"

From Lindsey Graham:

“It’s that important to me,” [Graham] told CNN. “This is a road we haven’t gone down before. If you can’t show the American people that international organizations can be more responsible, there is going to be a break. And I am going to lead that break.” 

“I will do everything in my power, working with the new administration and Congress, to leave no doubt about where America stands when it comes to the peace process and where we stand with the only true democracy in the Middle East, Israel,” Graham added. 

He later told CNN’s Dana Bash that US funding accounts for 22% of the UN’s budget. 

“Trump is a good negotiator. Let’s see if this give him some leverage,” he said, adding if the world body overturned the measure, the UN “has got a chance to reset and let the new administration restart the peace process.”

From Ted Cruz:

Spoke w/ Israeli PM @netanyahu tonight to wish him Happy Chanukah & assure him of strong support in Congress. No US $ for UN until reversed.

Kevin Williamson and National Review Prove They Are As Worthless As Alec Baldwin

From the American Thinker:

Apparently Kevin Williamson at National Review has jumped over that deadly lemming cliff, along with millions of Trump-maddened New York liberals. Williamson writes in NRO that: 

"My own view is that Donald and Ivanka and Uday and Qusay are genuinely bad human beings and that the American public has made a grave error in entrusting its highest office to this cast of American Psycho extras. That a major political party was captured by these cretins suggests that its members are not worthy of the blessings of this republic..."

YOU ARE WORTHLESS, KEVIN WILLIAMSON.

Obama and Samantha Power SLAM ISRAEL WHILE ALEPPO BURNS/Half Million Arabs Die

From Breitbart:

All our Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, is missing is a fiddle. For the duration of the seemingly endless Syrian civil war, she has figuratively fiddled while that country burns. 

Now, with one foot out the door from a tenure that has all but obliterated her once formidable reputation as an anti-genocide activist, she’s decided to kick Israel in the teeth. 

What most amazes me about this past Friday’s anti-Israel resolution that was cooked up by Barack Obama, John Kerry, Susan Rice, and Power is not that it took place. 

We have long known that the quartet had this in the works, and my organization, The World Values Network, even took out a full page ad against the proposed UN resolution a few months back. 

Rather, the truly shocking part is that the most senior members of the American foreign policy team were pushing this resolution through while Aleppo burned. 

Just imagine — there is a genocide going on for years in the Middle East in general and Syria in particular. It involves ISIS targeting Yazidis and Christians for extermination, and, in Syria, Shia Muslims joining Alawites to exterminate Sunnis. 

This is the classic definition of genocide where an ethnic group is target for annihilation. 

As someone who has dedicated much of his public life to fighting genocide, I was once honored to support Samantha’s nomination to the UN post, even while others were outraged, because she was one of the world’s foremost voices against mass murder. That was prior to entering the Obama administration, and adopting a policy of humiliating silence as Iran threatened genocide against Israel and actual genocides were carried out in parts of Africa and the Middle East. 

Power holds her unique position for speaking truth to the world’s powers, but once in power herself, she held her tongue while people are being murdered every day in the Middle East and North Africa. Shiites and Sunnis kill each other on a daily basis throughout the Middle East while thousands die in Sudan, Nigeria, Libya and Yemen. 

Under Samantha’s watchful eye, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have died and become refugees. Let’s not forget the carnage in Syria is largely a result of Obama’s disastrous foreign policy. When he precipitously pulled American troops out of Iraq, he created a vacuum that has been filled by Iran, ISIS, al-Qaeda and other radical Islamic groups. 

Rather than work to bring down the brutal Assad regime and support Syrians who reject his totalitarian rule and the proposed Sharia law of the Muslim extremists, Power stood by while Iran and its Hezbollah terrorist puppets rushed in to bolster the tottering Assad regime.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR ALLAH THE GREAT! Muslims Stab and Injure Three Christians Attending Christmas Mass in Switzerland

From Gateway Pundit:

Switzerland: Anti-Christian attack in Longeborgne: three wounded, including one seriously 

Christians were attacked with cold steel — always the weapon of Islam — for going to Mass this Sunday morning at Our Lady of Longeborgne, Brumous. 

On the social networks, eyewitness reports speak of a knife attack against three faithful of the Hermitage of Longeborgne — one of which was seriously wounded — who were on their way there. 

One of them succeeded in crossing the roadblock made by the aggressors, and arrived in Longeborgne with his face covered in blood. 

He was taken to the hospital as soon as the police arrived. According to the priest, his condition was not worrisome, but another victim was reportedly found by the policemen on the ground and seriously wounded. 

“There was no mass, for the faithful were stopped by a person who assaulted them. It was probably a sharp weapon,” said Father Francis, the rector of the Hermitage. 

One of the wounded was able to reach the holy place and was treated on the spot before being transported by the emergency services. 

Three people, two women and one man, were stabbed. The latter was seriously injured. Numerous police patrols, dogs and a helicopter were deployed in the Gorges de la Borgne.

Obama Quietly Signs The “Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act” Into Law - a.k.a. 'Ministry of Truth'

From Will at THE OTHER NEWS:

Late on Friday, with the US population embracing the upcoming holidays and oblivious of most news emerging from the administration, Obama quietly signed into law the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611 billion for the military in 2017. 

Recall that as we reported in early June, “a bill to implement the U.S.’ very own de facto Ministry of Truth had been quietly introduced in Congress. As with any legislation attempting to dodge the public spotlight the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016 marks a further curtailment of press freedom and another avenue to stultify avenues of accurate information. 

Introduced by Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Ted Lieu, H.R. 5181 seeks a “whole-government approach without the bureaucratic restrictions” to counter “foreign disinformation and manipulation,” which they believe threaten the world’s “security and stability.” 

Also called the Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016 (S. 2692), when introduced in March by Sen. Rob Portman, the legislation represents a dramatic return to Cold War-era government propaganda battles.  

“These countries spend vast sums of money on advanced broadcast and digital media capabilities, targeted campaigns, funding of foreign political movements, and other efforts to influence key audiences and populations,” Portman explained, adding that while the U.S. spends a relatively small amount on its Voice of America, the Kremlin provides enormous funding for its news organization, RT. 

“Surprisingly,” Portman continued, “there is currently no single U.S. governmental agency or department charged with the national level development, integration and synchronization of whole-of-government strategies to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation.” 

Long before the “fake news” meme became a daily topic of extensive conversation on such discredited mainstream portals as CNN and WaPo, H.R. 5181 would task the Secretary of State with coordinating the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to “establish a Center for Information Analysis and Response,” which will pinpoint sources of disinformation, analyze data, and — in true dystopic manner — ‘develop and disseminate’ “fact-based narratives” to counter effrontery propaganda.
