Just to ensure apartheid israel can count on her support, “Top Five Clinton Donors Are Jewish”

“Top Five Clinton Donors Are Jewish” – How Anti-Semitic Is This Fact?

Top five Clinton donors Are Jewish, campaign tally shows.

Something is wrong with the above statement. Isn’t it anti-semitic? Did Trump say that? Readers of that statement may assume, somewhat reasonably, that there is a club of rich Jewish people controlling the Clinton campaign and, maybe, Clinton herself. That sounds like it was taken from the fake Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It clearly must be anti-semitic.

It is also true.

Facts have no bias. They can’t be anti-semitic (or can they?). But while facts as such can not have a racial-religious bias, openly stating them surely can. Thus the above statement is anti-semitic. The fact itself isn’t bad, reporting it publicly is bad, bad, bad.

Who but an alt-right rag would report such at all? And for what purpose if not for spreading anti-semitism?

Well – quot licet jovi, …

Jewish papers are of course allowed to report such a fact. That isn’t anti-semitic. It is solely to brag about Jewish powers. Within the club that is not only allowed, but welcome. Thus Haaretz writes (sourced to the the Jewish Telegraph Agency) under the identity defining headline at the top of this post:

Haim Saban, George Soros and others stand at the head of a list of wealthy donors who contributed mainly via super PACs.The Washington Post analysis, posted October 24, named the top donors, who are contributing $1 of every $17 of the over $1 billion amassed for the Democratic nominee’s presidential run.

They are Donald Sussman, a hedge fund manager; J.B. Pritzker, a venture capitalist, and his wife, M.K.; Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment mogul, and his wife, Cheryl; George Soros, another hedge funder and a major backer of liberal causes, and Daniel Abraham, a backer of liberal pro-Israel causes and the founder of SlimFast.

Many of the big Clinton campaign donors also give to the Clinton Foundation which at times is a washing machine to put money into the Clinton’s private accounts. It is kind of difficult to understand where Clinton Inc begins and where it ends. Campaign funds, Clinton foundation, speech fees, private accounts – does it even matter? Surely those who pay, to whatever Clinton entity, expect a service in return. Given the Clinton’s occupations as Senator, Secretary of State and President the ask in return is unlikely to be commercial. It will be political.

And here is why it matters that the five top donors to Clinton’s campaign are Jewish, and all big supporters of Israel. (Haim Saban: “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”) They surely will ask for political favors in the interest of the Zionist entity. This is also the reason why Haaretz, an Israeli paper, finds the strong racial-religious bias at the top Clinton campaign tally newsworthy. Big money paid to a Clinton entity can directly effect U.S. policies towards Israel. It buys its acquiescence to Israeli escapades even when those are not consistent U.S. interests.

Clinton’s positions towards Syria, Iran and Russia (which limits Israel’s freedom of action) are surely not independent of Israeli interests.

But that is of course, anti-semitic speculation …

The Daily Wire

One Twitter user once asked me, “Is it too much to hope that *one* of our parties would pick someone with no links to a pedophile sex-slave island?”

Apparently, it is too much to ask for.

Both presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton have ties to convicted pedophile and Democratic donor, billionaire Jeffery Epstein and “Sex Slave Island.”

Note: President Bill Clinton is not merely the husband of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, either. Bill is currently campaigning for his wife, plus Hillary recently unveiled that Bill with be in charge of “revitalizing the economy” if she were to take office.

It has been uncovered that Clinton, known for his trouble-making libido, has even stronger ties to Epstein than previously reported. As noted by The Free Beacon, “Clinton was aboard the infamous Lolita Express owned by a billionaire pedophile at least 26 times,” not the initially reported 11 times.

Fox News reports:

Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including “Tatiana.” The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls…Official flight logs filed with the Federal Aviation Administration show Clinton traveled on some of the trips with as many as 10 U.S. Secret Service agents. However, on a five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, not a single Secret Service agent is listed.

The Republican presumptive nominee apparently got in on the action, too. Trump’s ties to Epstein — a man Trump once called a “terrific guy” — and Sex Slave Island have been chronicled by The Daily Wire here.

Per The Political Insider, Trump is accused of threatening and raping a 13-year-old girl on the private island. Epstein is also named in the suit for sexual misconduct. The lawsuit accusations have been vehemently denied by the Trump camp, alleging that the filing is a “hoax” and that there is “no evidence” that the plaintiff in question “actually exists.”

Sex Slave Island, sometimes referred to as “Orgy Island,” (both lovely names), is one deranged place, allegedly rife with solicited sex, often from minors “groomed” by Epstein.

“Terrific guy” Epstein, of course, was convicted for soliciting sex from a minor in 2008; the billionaire served 13 months in prison.

Election 2016: Where both candidates have ties to a convicted pedophile, the Lolita Express and Sex Slave Island.

Russia Loses U(S) Human Rights Council Place, Saudi Arabia Re-Elected

By RT

Global Research, October 29, 2016

RT 28 October 2016

For the first time since UNHRC’s inception in 2006, Russia has lost an election to the UN Human Rights Council after being narrowly beaten by Croatia in a vote. Saudi Arabia was successfully re-elected, despite criticism from human rights organizations.

The 47 places on the council are distributed on a regional basis, with staggered ballots seeing a third of the body re-elected each year. Russia had finished its three-year term and was running against Hungary and Croatia for the two available seats from Eastern Europe.

With Hungary far ahead, Croatia received the votes of 114 of the 193 member countries, and Russia was selected on 112 ballots.

“”It was a very close vote and very good countries competing, Croatia, Hungary. They are fortunate because of their size, they are not exposed to the winds of international diplomacy. Russia is very exposed. We’ve been in the UNHRC for several years, and I am sure next time we will stand and get back in,” said Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin. Russia is eligible to run next year, against a new set of countries.

Saudi Arabia sailed through the Asian ballot with 152 votes, and will represent the region on the UNHRC alongside China, Japan and Iraq for the next three years.

South Africa, Rwanda, Egypt and Tunisia were chosen from the African group, Cuba and Brazil from Latin America and the Caribbean, and the US and the UK will represent the Western bloc, which comprises Western Europe and North America.

Over the next term, which will last between 2017 and 2019, the 14 chosen members will be tasked with formulating the UN’s official position on conflicts occurring around the world, as well as the domestic policies of member states.

The elections took place against a backdrop of criticism from non-governmental human rights organizations, who say that the body has been hijacked by oppressive regimes looking to deflect criticism and drive their own agendas.

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International produced a joint statement earlier this year condemning Saudi Arabia for “an appalling record of violations” in Yemen, where it has conducted a bombing campaign against Houthi rebels since 2015, which has resulted in the deaths of up to 4,000 civilians. The two organizations called for Saudi Arabia, a member of the UNHRC since it was created in 2006, apart from a mandatory year-long break after two terms, to be suspended – to no avail.

Saudi Arabia used its power in the council to block an outside inquiry into the campaign last month, while leading a successful resolution that placed the responsibility of investigating human rights abuses in the hands of its allies, the exiled Yemeni government.

Saudi Arabia carried out 157 executions domestically last year – the highest number in two decades, and is on pace to match the number this year. Critics of the regime have often faced detention, while women do not enjoy autonomy and equal status before the law.

Riyadh has repeatedly refused visits from UNHRC rapporteurs looking to investigate the justice system, incidences of torture, and discrimination.

In its official campaign brochure, published ahead of the vote, Saudi Arabia boasted about its human rights record, claiming, for example, that it supports “the empowerment of women at all levels” in compliance with “Sharia law, which guarantees fair gender equality.”

Ahead of this year’s vote Russia came under concerted pressure from human rights organizations.

“The non-election of Russia shows that the nations of the world can reject gross abusers if they so choose,” said executive director Hillel Neuer. “This makes the election of Saudi Arabia, China and Cuba even more preposterous.”

A petition signed by 80 NGOs, including Human Rights Watch and Refugees International, asked the voting countries to “question seriously whether Russia’s role in Syria which includes supporting and undertaking military actions which have routinely targeted civilians and civilian objects renders it fit to serve on the UN’s premier inter-governmental human rights institution.”

Russia dismissed the petition, published this week, as “cynical” and “dishonorable,” and said the accusations were motivated more by politics than by concern for human rights. Moscow, which has been conducting airstrikes in the country over the past year, says that it is acting legally, following an official call for assistance from the Syrian government, and insists that its war efforts are targeted at terrorists.

China, Cuba, Egypt, Iraq, Rwanda, which all succeeded in their quest for council membership, were also accused by NGOs of being undeserving of a place on the UNHRC.

The current human rights body replaced the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in 2006, which was plagued with identical accusations of domination by authoritarian regimes and preoccupation with Israeli violations in Palestine, at the expense of human rights crimes elsewhere in the world. The election of Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya to head the commission in 2003 was lambasted by Western media and politicians, and was seen as the catalyst for the reforms that have resulted in the formation of the UNHRC.

KILLED IN TURKEY: NO INVESTIGATION TWO YEARS AFTER SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF AMERICAN JOURNALIST SERENA SHIM

Oct 20, 2016, The Duran

(republished at Global Research)

–EVA BARTLETT

October 19 marks two years since the very sudden and suspicious death of American journalist Serena Shim near Suruç, Turkey, close to the Syrian border.

Although all signs point to foul play, indeed murder, by Turkish intelligence, until now the US government has neither conducted nor demanded an inquiry into the events of the alleged car accident which Turkish officials say was the cause of Shim’s death, let alone offer condolences to the family.

Serena Shim was at the time reporting on Ayn al-Arab (Kobani), from the Turkish side. She was, in her own words, one of the first, if not the first, on the ground to report on ,“Takfiri militants going in through the Turkish border”. These include not only ISIS but also terrorists from the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA).

As Shim’s sister Fatmeh Shim stated in 2015, “She caught them bringing in ISIS high-ranked members into Syria from Turkey into camps, which are supposed to be Syrian refugee camps.”

Serena Shim’s January 2013 expose, “Turkey’s Pivotal Role in Syria’s Insurgency: PressTV Report from Inside Turkey,” showed footage of what she estimated to be 300 semi-trucks “awaiting militants to empty them out”; included testimony explaining how Turkey enables the crossing of foreign terrorists “freely” into Syria; spoke of the funneling of arms via the Incirlik US Air Base in Turkey to terrorists in refugee camps or on through to Syria; and highlighted the issue of terrorist training camps portrayed as refugee camps, guarded by the Turkish military.

Shim named the World Food Organization as one of the NGOs whose trucks were being used to funnel terrorists’ arms into Syria, and stated this in her last interview, just one day before being killed. Notably, in that interview she also explicitly stated that she feared for her life because Turkish intelligence had accused her of being a spy. She told Press TV:

“Turkey has been labeled by Reporters Without Borders as the largest prison for journalists, so I am a bit frightened about what they might use against me… I’m hoping that nothing is going to happen, that it’s going to blow over. I would assume that they are going to take me in for questioning, and the next hope is that my lawyer is good enough to get me out as soon as possible.”

Two days later, Press TV announced her death, stating:

“Serena was killed in a reported car accident when she was returning from a report scene in the city of Suruch in Turkey’s Urfa province. She was going back to her hotel in Urfa when their car collided with a heavy vehicle.”

This was the official version of her death, although in subsequent versions the story changed. In a report one month later, Russia Today (RT) spoke with Shim’s sister, who said:

“There’s so many different stories. The first was that Serena’s car was hit by a heavy vehicle, who proceeded to keep on driving. They could not find the vehicle nor could they find the driver. Two days later, surprisingly, they had found the vehicle and the driver, and had pictures of the heavy vehicle hitting my sister’s car. Every day coming out with new pictures of different degrees of damages that have happened to the car.”

“Serena and my cousin who was the driver of the car were taken to two different hospitals. She was reported first dead at the scene. Then coming out with later reports that she passed away at the hospital 30 minutes later from heart failure?! ”

Ansarullah Rejects Saudi “Hallucinations” regarding Holy Mecca Target

Published on Oct 27, 2016

Yemen’s Ansarullah fighters and allied army units have launched a retaliatory attack against Saudi Arabia.

A Yemeni TV station says the forces have launched a ballistic missile at an airport in the Saudi city of Jeddah. So far, there has been no report of casualties. Saudi Arabia says its defense system has intercepted a missile fired from the Yemeni province of Sa’ada. But some reports say the missile has hit the airport and a state of emergency has been announced in Jeddah. The attacks by the Yemeni forces are in response to Saudi Arabia’s aggression against the war-torn country. Saudi war on Yemen has claimed the lives of more than 10100 people, most of them civilians, since March 2015.

Ansarullah Rejects Saudi “Hallucinations” regarding Holy Mecca Target

October 28, 2016

Ansarullah Spokesman Mohammad Abdol Salam

The spokesman of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement Mohammad Abdol Salam considered that the Saudi claims of intercepting a Yemeni ballistic missile 65 km away from the holy city of Mecca reflect KSA’s failure throughout its bloody war on the Yemenis.

“The Saudis, who aim to hide their atrocities in Yemen, expressed mere hallucinations which can never be believed by sane people.”

Abdol Salam added that the Yemenis’ commitment to their Islam and Arabism is uncontroversial, noting that despite all the Saudi Massacres, the Yemeni forces have not targeted civilian installations as well as holy sites.

For his part the spokesman of the Yemeni army, General Sharaf Ghaleb Lokman, asserted that firing the ballistic missile onto King Abdulaziz International Airport was successful and achieved its goals.

Rocketry force in the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees fired late on Thursday a ballistic missile, “Burkan-1”, at Saudi airport in Jeddah.

Twisted Logic: How Can Labour ‘Humanitarians’ Support Saudi Arabia?

Source

Written by Lindsey German

The true colours of these Labour ‘rebels’ were shown by their backing for Saudia Arabia says Lindsey German

‘We have nothing to gain from the wars and bloodshed now engulfing so much of the Middle East’

The lie repeatedly advanced when politicians make calls for war is that they are doing so in order to advance humanitarian aims. This week’s vote in parliament in which Jeremy Corbyn’s motion on Saudi Arabia was defeated by an alliance of Tories voting for and right wing labour MPs abstaining, blows this argument out of the water. The motion called for withdrawal of support for Saudi Arabia until a UN investigation could say whether the bombing campaign had breached international law. The motion was defeated by 90 votes while over 100 Labour MPs did not vote. It doesn’t take a maths expert to see that had they voted the motion would have been carried and an important blow struck in support of the Yemenis suffering so much in this war.

Saudi Arabia is engaged in a bombing war on a catastrophic scale in Yemen, with, like in Syria, thousands killed, millions displaced and hospitals and schools bombed. It could not be pursuing this war without the sales of arms from the US and UK, and without the massive logistical and political support it receives from those countries.

The vote this week would have seen the government defeated, given the scale of outrage against Saudi Arabia which exists, and which even finds its pale reflection in parliament, were it not for one thing – the abstention of so many Labour MPs. They do so no doubt in part to defy Jeremy Corbyn and the overwhelming majority of Labour members who have elected him twice. But they do it for another reason as well – the Blairite wing of Labour is a central element of the war party.

It made a huge error back in 2003 when voting for war in Iraq, but it can’t give up the habit, despite all the evidence of catastrophe. So the old, familiar faces were notable by their absence or abstention on Wednesday night; John Woodcock, Kevin Barron, John Mann, Jamie Reed, Ivan Lewis, Ian Austin, Anne Clwyd, Tom Watson and Stephen Kinnock. And Nia Griffiths the shadow Defence minister abstained too, which begs the question how she can claim to represent the Shadow Cabinet policy here.

The true colours of these Labour ‘rebels’ were shown by the fact that a number of them criticised shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry during the debate. They clearly agree with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson whose basic argument is that if we weren’t selling them arms someone else would!

The cynical and cruel abstention shows exactly the priorities of these people; to promote military solutions, to back every government foreign policy initiative and to accept that the interests of the arms companies and their customers are also the interests of ordinary people.

They are not. We have nothing to gain from the wars and bloodshed now engulfing so much of the Middle East. But there is also something more sinister going on here. There is a renewed drive to war taking place. The deployment of a larger than expected number British troops as part of the Nato operations in the Baltic states, and the dispatch of more British aircraft to Romania, represent a ratcheting up of conflict with Russia. Couple this with the demand for no fly zones in Syria, and we are looking at further conflicts – conflicts in which Saudi Arabia is absolutely centrally involved.

The abstaining MPs highlighted how seriously they take these questions and how determined they are to promote imperial wars and interventions. No one should be fooled that they have other motivations in mind

CIA, Hollywood Team Up on Anti-Russian Propaganda

Posted on October 27, 2016

by Richard Edmondson

By Danielle Ryan

Negative depictions of Russia in American and British news and entertainment media are hardly new — but at least as far as I can tell, there’s certainly been an uptick over the past 12-18 months, and it coincides nicely with a major US government-led anti-Russia messaging campaign which has also spilled over into much of Western print and broadcast media.

Gratuitous mentions of Russia and Vladimir Putin where they are not necessary are becoming tiresome. For me, the last straw was sitting down to watch Bridget Jones’s Baby last month and being subjected to an entirely unnecessary and irrelevant subplot about the anti-Putin punk band Pussy Riot and their struggle for free speech. It was the last straw because it was just one more in a long line of useless allusions to big bad Russia that seemed to come from nowhere.

In the Netflix political drama House of Cards, Pussy Riot — the real ones this time — got their own cameo alongside evil Putin (not the real one). But even when there isn’t a major storyline attached to Russia, somehow the country frequently gets thrown in anyway. Russia is still the go-to country when there needs to be a joke about scary or immoral foreigners. There are endless examples.

In NBC’s Scandal, one character suggests Putin might randomly invade Belarus. In CBS’s Madam Secretary, one character spews the line: “I can’t go back to Russia, it’s a pigsty.” In the recently released movie Bad Moms, one of the bad moms, protesting something or other which I can’t recall, shouts “What is this, Russia?” The short-running show Allegiance was entirely about a Russian sleeper cell in the US which was suddenly reactivated and whose members — now fully adapted to blissful life in America — no longer wanted anything to do with Russia. How original.

NBC’s Blacklist has given us multiple Russian baddies and the sitcom 2 Broke Girlshas made its fair share of Putin jokes. The third installment of The Purgeintroduced us to a gang of menacing Russian “murder tourists” who take advantage of the annual 12-hour period during which any crime, including murder, becomes legal. I could go on, but you get the idea: Russians are bad.
