Since socialists are unwilling or unable to look at what their philosophy does to people, Firewall host Bill Whittle shows us what it is doing to the animals, and asks how the richest person in Venezuela just happens to be the daughter of the socialist former President of that starving country.

Sharia — Destroyer of Civilizations
Hello, I would like to talk to you about Sharia and how it destroys civilizations. Ever wondered how Turkey, Pakistan, North Africa, the Middle East and Egypt all became completely Islamic? Well, the answer is simple, Sharia was implemented, after Islam invaded.
Now before I tell you what Sharia is, we need to tell you what Islam is and no, Islam is not just a religion found in the Koran. The reason is simple, there’s not enough in the Koran to practice the Five Pillars of Islam. But there are 91 verses in the Koran, which say that every human being is to follow the perfect pattern of Muhammad’s life and Muhammad’s life is found in the Sira, his biography and the Hadith his traditions.
Now, Sharia is frequently called Sharia Law or Islamic Law, but it’s much more than law, it is a code of behavior, it is ethics, it is philosophy, it is religion. To call it Sharia Law is to make it too small, everything about how to lead your life as a human being, is found under this Koran and the Sira and the Hadith, but there’s too much information there and so what the Sharia does, it takes and summarizes and codifies and interprets the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith.
For instance, if you want to know about Islamic divorce, you don’t want to sit down and read all of the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith, but the Sharia does this for you. Sharia takes a topic like divorce and brings in everything from the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith, so that you can get a definitive answer. Since the Koran and the Sira and the Hadith include religion, politics, law and culture, Sharia includes religion, politics, law and culture.
There’s something interesting about the Sharia, you, whether you are Muslim or not, are found in the Sharia. This is a little odd, because Catholic canon law is for Catholics, Jewish law is for Jews, but all people are included in the Sharia. Sharia is Allah’s law and our laws are manmade laws, so it follows that the Sharia must rule all the world, including Europe and the United States.
All human actions have a place in Sharia rulings. The Sharia forbids criticism of Muhammad or the Koran or Islam, it also include Jihad and defines this Jihad. Jihad is simple, it is to be practiced, until the entire world submits to the Sharia. All Kafirs, non-Muslims, must become dhimmis. You don’t have to convert to Islam, but you do have to let Sharia rule and under the Sharia, dhimmis are second-class subjects, not even citizens.
Some rulings found under the Sharia, such as women, you have wife beating, which is part of the Sharia, child marriage is part of the Sharia, female genital mutilation is permitted, polygamy is permitted, honor killings are not punished and the rape of Kafir women is allowed, yes, that is true.
Under freedom, you need to understand something, under the Sharia, there’s a peculiar form of freedom, which is to be a complete slave to the Sharia. The Muslim is free as the slave of the Sharia. Free speech is forbidden, no one is allowed to criticize Islam, apostates can be killed without penalty, art may not include people or music and literature and songs may not blaspheme Islam, under business, interest is forbidden.
Now the purpose of migration is to establish the Sharia. Muslims don’t really care whether we convert or not, as long as we let the Sharia rule. Now Sharia is Allah’s law and our laws are manmade. Allah’s law is higher than man-made law, so therefore we must submit to Allah’s Law.
Now you probably say to yourself, I don’t know anything about Sharia, but you do know it without thinking about it. Every step of Islamification of your country is done under the pressure of Sharia, example, the demand to wear a Hijab at work, to have school prayer, the fact that you should not be allowed to criticize Islam, Muhammad or the Koran, these are all elements of the Sharia, the Sharia says that Kafirs, the non-Muslims must accept all Muslim refugees and support them. This is just the natural way that it is, the Muslim must be supported by the nonbeliever.
Now back to the question I asked at the start, the reason that all these native civilizations disappeared is that once Islam invaded, Sharia was implemented. Once the Sharia is implemented, the society becomes more and more Islamic, there may be a change of government, but it’s still an Islamic government.
Now most people are nice people and they say, “Well, if Muslims want a little Sharia, “we’ll give them a little Sharia,” but here’s the thing, Sharia includes codification for every act, so there is no end to the Islamic demands. You may not think you know anything about Sharia, but actually you do, all you have to do is to watch what Muslims do around you and they’re all part of Sharia. We must learn what Sharia is, if we’re to protect our society and we must not Islamicize any part of our society by yielding to the Sharia.
Deep Weeds Beyond “The Big Ugly”…
Allow me to share right away that if you haven’t followed the entire fourteen months of discussion surrounding The Big Ugly, this is not a discussion thread you will enjoy.
This is more digestible by those who have a comprehensive understanding of the 2016 back-story behind the DOJ and FBI surveillance program of Candidate Donald Trump, then President Trump, and the FISA-701(16)(17) issues therein.
On this subject, as with a few in the past, CTH has presented intricacies beyond the current story.
Oddly, when this happens, and specifically because of our prior crowd-sourcing track record, we pick up ‘nodes’, operational insiders who are curious about how we construct and predict seemingly invisible action.
That said, this entire Justice Department surveillance operation did not start with candidate Donald Trump. It has been going on, albeit with slightly different methods, for many years. The past 20 +/- years have seen an exponential growth of the electronic use of U.S. Justice Department political surveillance.
Hundreds of federal and state officials are monitored, and the reason therein is not as riddled with complexity as we might think. The motives are not deep, they’re shallow. Ultimately, it is all about money. If an entity can know, in advance, what actions are going to be taken by State and Federal officials, an entity can make massive amounts of money. Think about government contract bids submitted electronically as one example.
There are billions of billions to be made with the right information. As such, there are millions of millions to be spent on obtaining that information. Everything is up for sale.
Hardware and infrastructure is not installed by government; it is installed by contractors who work for government. Hardware is not manufactured by government, it is manufactured by contractors. Which is more valuable: the door key into your home or the pass-code for the security system?
The metadata collection Ed Snowden discussed was the tip of the iceberg. Snowden was inside the system, he discussed how information was gathered. Snowden never discussed who actually controls the weaponization of the information from the outside. Who pays?
Who pays for access to systems? Who pays the DOJ and FBI officials for access? Who pays for the information. Ultimately, who controls that information. It is all connected.
A reasonable guess would be eight-out-of-ten federal politicians are paid by entities outside government for access to existing systems and hardware. Just because the system is intelligence, and might have national security ramifications, doesn’t change the process.
The Awan Brothers should be a solid reference point. Watch:
.
Just like lobbyists paying politicians to write legislation beneficial to those paying for services, so too are foreign and domestic entities paying for access to federal and state information. This has been happening so frequently the actual scale of the problem is larger than any capacity of the system to self-correct internally.
Almost every entity within the current political system is dependent on retention of a pay-for-information network that has been built-out over the past 15+/- years. The scope of the growth in selling political information began escalating with Bill Clinton, by the first-year of President Obama’s second-term the growth was exponential.
Look at the number of people occupying K-Street offices in Washington DC.
Consider the sheer growth volume of lobbying expenditures:
See the scale of growth?
♦ Selling Information – There are massive metadata files on all key public officials. The higher the official is in the influence chain, the move valuable their data-file. Within their file EVERYTHING about them is available for purchase. What they do, what they purchase, who they call, where they are, who they lunch with, who paid, what they ate, where they travel, what they are working on, etc. everything is available.
If an entity has a financial stake based on engagement with one or more of those officials, it is entirely possible to purchase the file (whole or in part). This is the type of data, the type of business model, that Glenn Simpson, Bean LLC, aka ‘Fusion-GPS’ engage with.
Every keystroke the targeted official enters, in business or profession, is available for purchase; so too is the same information available on every one of their colleagues and family members; and that purchase can extend to their friends and their friends families.
The Awan Brothers were simply brokers for this type of information.
It is a massive business. The annual federal budget is $4,000,000,000,000.00 +/-
Four trillion is four thousand billions.
It is specifically because of the financial opportunity within this business model the United States Justice Department has been corrupted. Institutionally corrupted, top-to-bottom.
It is almost beyond the scope of us to understand is how incredibly difficult this is to fix.
What Chairman Devin Nunes, Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Chairman Chuck Grassley and Inspector General Michael Horowitz are trying to do is no less than an institutional purge to the entire U.S. Justice Department, while simultaneously keeping it running.
Beyond what those reformers are attempting we have the U.S. State Department – same problem, same scale, same issues. Secretary Rex Tillerson is only beginning to scrape the surface of the problem.
Imagine how much more challenging it would be if the corrupt institution currently being confronted by Nunes, Goodlatte, Grassley and Horowitz was spread over the entire planet?
Think about it?
That’s currently Secretary Tillerson’s challenge to manage and control…..
…. we haven’t even begun to fathom that yet.

CNN’s Worst Nightmare – Youngstown Ohio Voters Thrilled With Trump’s First Year…
CNN took a production crew to Youngstown Ohio to talk to formerly registered Democrats who switched parties in 2016 in order to support Donald Trump.
A year into President Trump’s administration, CNN asks them if they still support Donald Trump. The answers seemed to confound the questioner, CNN’s Martin Savage. And when the topic of illegal immigration surfaces, Savage had a ‘splodey head, WATCH:
.
Yes, after a year of 24/7/365 MSM onslaught – the media are unable to break the power behind MAGA. The perspective of this representative group is exactly why Democrats are apoplectic and thrashing wildly for anything to stop President Trump. And Democrats are threatening to shut down government to maintain illegal immigration?…
Former Uranium Transportation Company President Indicted on 11 Counts Related to Foreign Bribery, Fraud and Money Laundering Scheme
U.S. authorities believe from at least 2009 to October 2014 Mark Lambert (pictured below left) and other company executives, including Daren Condrey, conspired to bribe Vadim Mikerin, an official at the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation subsidiary (TENEX), in order to secure contracts for transporting nuclear fuel.
Daren Condrey plead guilty in June 2015 to conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and wire fraud. Condrey likely flipped on his former partner, Mark Lambert. [Mr. Condrey is awaiting sentencing, according to the Justice Department.]
(U.S. Dept. of Justice) […] Mark Lambert, 54, of Mount Airy, Maryland, was charged in an 11-count indictment with one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and to commit wire fraud, seven counts of violating the FCPA, two counts of wire fraud and one count of international promotion money laundering.
The charges stem from an alleged scheme to bribe Vadim Mikerin, a Russian official at JSC Techsnabexport (TENEX), a subsidiary of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation and the sole supplier and exporter of Russian Federation uranium and uranium enrichment services to nuclear power companies worldwide, in order to secure contracts with TENEX.
The case against Lambert is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Theodore D. Chuang of the District of Maryland.
According to the indictment, beginning at least as early as 2009 and continuing until October 2014, Lambert conspired with others at “Transportation Corporation A” to make corrupt and fraudulent bribery and kickback payments to offshore bank accounts associated with shell companies, at the direction of, and for the benefit of, a Russian official, Vadim Mikerin, in order to secure improper business advantages and obtain and retain business with TENEX.
In order to effectuate and conceal the corrupt and fraudulent bribe payments, Lambert and others allegedly caused fake invoices to be prepared, purportedly from TENEX to Transportation Corporation A, that described services that were never provided, and then Lambert and others caused Transportation Corporation A to wire the corrupt payments for those purported services to shell companies in Latvia, Cyprus and Switzerland.
Lambert and others also allegedly used code words like “lucky figures,” “LF,” “lucky numbers,” and “cake” to describe the payments in emails to the Russian official at his personal email account. The indictment also alleges that Lambert and others caused Transportation Corporation A to over-bill TENEX by building the cost of the corrupt payments into their invoices, and TENEX thus overpaid for Transportation Corporation A’s services.

Are Police Acting Like Thugs Because Judges Refuse to Defend the Constitution?

Re-Posted Jan 13, 2018 by Martin Armstrong
Teacher Deyshia Hargrave was questioning the school board how they can vote to give the superintendent a raise when school employees have not gotten a raise in years. A policeman from the parish Marshal’s Office told her to leave the room. He shut down her freedom of speech to even ask a question in a respectful manner. He ordered her to step outside, pushed her to the ground, and then arrested her dragging her out in handcuffs.
The question this presents is why are police officer lacking any training about human and constitutional rights. Far too many seem they believe they are supreme in their authority and need not answer to anyone. This evolves because judges are not defending the constitution as a whole. There are no checks and balances anymore. What happened to “We the People” in this modern day?

Judge Throws Out Gov’t Case Against Bundy
Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law
RE-Posted Jan 13, 2018 by Martin Armstrong
The pressure has to be so great in this land to ever obtain any justice. In the case of the rancher, Bundy, the government has been on a crusade to imprison him if not outright murder him to uphold their supreme authority to ignore the Constitution.
A U.S. Federal District Judge Gloria Navarro dismissed all charges against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, his two sons and another man on Monday after accusing prosecutors of willfully withholding evidence from Bundy’s lawyers. Judge Navarro cited “flagrant prosecutorial misconduct” in her decision to dismiss all charges against the Nevada rancher and three others. She wrote: “The court finds that the universal sense of justice has been violated.”
This is what is called a Brady Violation. Rarely will any federal judge actually dismiss a criminal complaint of the government on a Brady Violation – perhaps one in a million, if that. They have also crafted “harmless error” analysis to basically say you would have been convicted anyhow so rights do not matter.
Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court which established that the prosecution must turn over all evidence that might exonerate the defendant (exculpatory evidence) to the defense. The prosecution failed to do so for Brady and he was convicted. Brady challenged his conviction, arguing it had been contrary to the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Prosecutors hate to ever turnover anything that will defeat them in court. In United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667 (1985), the Supreme Court effectively overrule Brady by applying Harmless Error analysis meaning you have the burden to prove now that the evidence withheld WOULD HAVE changed the verdict. And who does the analysis? A judge of course and never the people.
In order for the Bundy charges to be thrown out, there must have been a lot of posturing behind the curtain. The government can always appeal and the likelihood of an appellate court overrule the district court is 100%. So what took place was to a large extent political. They wanted to get this off the table. Bunday spent 700 days in prison.
The Gravity of Mohammed
The protests in Iran are not only about economics and politics, they’re also about Islam. Iran in the 1960’s saw mini skirts, smiling women with uncovered hair, men and women freely holding hands on university campuses, and in the air, there was a sense that progress was possible. Then the Shah was deposed during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and the Ayatollah and imams came to power. Iran had been purified, returned to its Islamic roots of Mohammed. Today, we are witnessing the Persian people rise up again against the Iranian Islamic regime and say “no more”. How will this play out?
Over the 1400 years of Islam, there is a pattern that can be observed that I call THE GRAVITY OF MOHAMMED. It can be visualized as a cycling wave graph, or a sine wave (see figure below). An Islamic nation will cycle between secularism and hard line Sharia, a push and pull of modernity vs Mohammed or civilizations retracting and embracing the perfect example of Mohammed. It is hard to escape the Sunna of Mohammed which the Sharia implements. As long as you have the remnants of Islam in a society, Mohammed will always return. Said another way, as long as a society believes Mohammed is the prophet of Allah, Sharia will return.
Examples of this are Turkey and Iran. Turkey under Ataturk pulled away from Mohammed, only to return with Erdogan. Iran pulled away from Sharia under the Shah only to return under the Ayatollah, and now there is a good possibility that the Persians may push away from the Sharia again. However, this will surely be temporary as the only way to destroy rule by Sharia is to destroy the belief that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah (the Shahada). Thus, the Gravity of Mohammed predicts that although Iran will pull away from Sharia for now, and maybe for years to come, it will fall back again to its Islamic roots. Like gravity, Mohammed is always there.
Clinton Foundation Targeted by FBI – About Time!
Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption
Re-Posted Jan 8, 2018 by Martin Armstrong
What goes around, comes around. The Democrats intend to turn-up the heat on the Impeachment of Trump. That is all they have to run on in the midterm elections in November. They voted against any tax reform and simply oppose anything offered by the other side. Politics has just degenerated into the obstruction and neither side seems willing to work together. With the Democrats trying to use the Impeachment Card to trump Trump, the game is now afoot and the niceties are off the table.
Now the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly targeted the foundation of former President Bill Clinton on suspicion of political favors in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation. The allegations refer to the period from 2009 to 2013, when Hillary was US Secretary of State. A spokesman for Hillary Clinton told “The Hill” that the FBI investigation was “fraud.” This is really an insult to common sense. As soon as Hillary lost the election, all the foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, withdrew their “donation” for a smoke-screen charity.
The Clinton Global Initiative was their pretend centerpiece to which they claimed its goal “convenes global leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.” This was their claimed effort to influence world leaders while, of course, raising cash for the Foundation from world leaders. As soon as Hillary lost the election, her position of “influence” came to an end. The Clintons began immediately laying off all staff as of April 15th, 2017. The Clinton Foundation said in a filing with the New York Department of Labor reporting it will layoff all staff citing the discontinuation of the Clinton Global Initiative.
It really would be nice to see this exposed for what it is. Bill sold Presidential Pardons to the highest bidder. Not only Marc Rich, but there were countless others. I knew of one kid in Federal Prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey who was bragging he would be released because his father paid the Clintons $250,000 for a Pardon. The corruption of the Clintons has been notorious and probably has never been surpassed by any political figure in the history of any nation.
