Muslim Invasion of the United States
The map of the invasion indicates how "Syrians," and the FBI has nearly 1,000 ongoing investigations, have spread throughout the United States. According to our current treaties, we have absolutely no obligation to take in one single refugee. The United States has pledged humanitarian assistance for refugee camps set up in Syria. Moreover, surrounding Muslim majority nations are not taking in refugees, and that's why Obama is importing them here.

Hillary Lie Benghazi
The infamous al Qaeda terrorist attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, took place on the evening of September 11, 2012, killing U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. Shortly afterward, a second assault on a nearby compound killed two CIA contractors, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty. Ten others were also injured in the attacks. But right from the beginning, your Judicial Watch saw through the prevarication, deception and inaction by President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Susan Rice (who is now Obama's national security adviser). Rather than tell the truth, and put Obama's reelection (and Hillary Clinton's then-nascent presidential campaign) at risk over the Libya mess and the lack of security - the Obama administration abandoned those under fire and instead issued public statements falsely portraying the attack had nothing to do with terrorism. The documents were produced in response to lawsuits filed by Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Mrs. Clinton's email to Chelsea Clinton was first produced to the Select Committee on Benghazi on October 20 and widely publicized on the day of Mrs. Clinton's testimony, October 22, but court filings in Judicial Watch's litigation show that the email was only produced after two federal court judges ordered the State Department to produce more Benghazi-related records to Judicial Watch. The State Department's records include a September 11, 2012, late-night email that Mrs. Clinton sent to her daughter Chelsea, who wrote under the pseudonym "Diane Reynolds" when using the Clinton email server:
Yet, in an earlier message, at 10:08 p.m. on September 11, Mrs. Clinton issued an official State Department press statement placing the blame for the attack on an obscure Internet video critical of the Islamic religion. At no point did she reference terrorist activity at or near the Consulate:
This key email shows that Hillary Clinton knowingly lied about the terrorist attack on Benghazi. In addition to the admission by Mrs. Clinton that the Benghazi assault was a terrorist attack, the email exchange between the Clintons also included an apparent attempt by Chelsea Clinton to equate Islamic terrorism with life in the United States before "modernism" was allowed "to take root:"
Ironically, the Obama administration's efforts to falsely blame an Internet video rather than al Qaeda for the terrorist attack in Benghazi included outreach to Islamist radicals who seek to censor criticism of Islam. The producer of the Internet video was also subsequently jailed by the Obama administration on a supposed probation violation. The State Department first produced the smoking-gun Hillary Clinton email to her daughter to the Benghazi Select Committee on October 20. But the document was disclosed only after Judicial Watch pressed in litigation for additional searches of State Department records. Judges Amit P. Mehta and Amy Berman Jackson in two Judicial Watch cases ordered the State Department to disclose the newly found material to Judicial Watch. The court orders are dated July 31, 2015, October 9, 2015, and October 20, 2015. In fact, on October 8, the State Department knew that it was going to be required to provide a report to the court by October 22 regarding the number of responsive documents in Mrs. Clinton's 30,000 emails, and specify how many responsive records pre-dated December 31, 2012. The Select Committee on Benghazi subpoenaed records only through the end of 2012, however, a Judicial Watch lawsuit filed in May 2015 seeks records through the end of Mrs. Clinton's term as Secretary of State, to January 31, 2013. In July, the State Department had represented incorrectly that the document production up through December 2012 was complete. But in responding to this request, the State Department says it found 242 additional emails from 2012, which the agency would later disclose included the email Mrs. Clinton wrote to her daughter on the night of the Benghazi attack. The State Department has yet to produce 87 records it found from Mrs. Clinton's account from January 2013. A status hearing took place this morning before U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta. A Justice Department attorney, on behalf of the State Department, confirmed that Judicial Watch's FOIA forced the release of these smoking gun emails. The Obama administration, unfortunately, convinced Judge Mehta to give it until the middle of February to disclose these new Benghazi Clinton emails to Judicial Watch and the American people. What a relief for Hillary Clinton, as her new Benghazi emails will be kept secret by her co-conspirators in the Obama administration until after the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. As I told The Hill today: "The only way [the Benghazi Select Committee] had that Sept. 11 smoking gun is because of this FOIA case ... So who the heck knows what else is out there." So once again, it was Judicial Watch lawsuits - not Congress - that forced the production of this smoking-gun email into the open for the American people. I have no doubt that the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton knew this email was out there and illegally stonewalled its release to Judicial Watch, the courts, and Congress. It is shameful that this stonewalling continues. The new emails were produced to Judicial Watch in two separate Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuits. You can read about the two Benghazi lawsuits, filed in 2014 and 2015. They are hereand here. Judicial Watch has now filed more than 40 FOIA requests, a Mandatory Declassification Review, and 12 lawsuits against the Obama administration relating to the Benghazi terrorist attack. In April 2014, we forced the release of documents showing then-White House Deputy Strategic Communications Adviser Ben Rhodes and other Obama administration public relations officials attempting to orchestrate a campaign to "reinforce" President Obama and to portray the Benghazi consulate terrorist attack as being "rooted in an Internet video, and not a failure of policy." Judicial Watch's release of the Rhodes email, which had been withheld by the Obama administration from Congress, caused the House of Representatives to approve the Select Committee on Benghazi, which is now led by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). This latest success shows again how Judicial Watch's Benghazi work is the nation's most historically significant investigation by a non-government organization. |

Hillary Traded Secrets
Hillary Clinton Violated Law on Classified Material
Hillary Clinton thinks she's above the law, including a key law regarding the protection of classified material that, if released, could compromise our nation's security and get a lot of people killed. That's why we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State to obtain records about Hillary Clinton's training on "making and marking" classified information. The lawsuit also seeks similar records for Clinton's top State Department aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. We filed the lawsuit last month after the State Department declined to comply with our simple information requests.
Barack Obama issued an Executive Order in 2009 requiring all employees with "original" or "derivative" classification capability to take mandatory training. The requirement became federal law in 2010. The State Department subsequently created a course, "Classified and Sensitive but Unclassified Information: Making and Marking," to satisfy that requirement. Those employees with "original classification authority" who fail to take the course each year are supposed to have their classification authority suspended.
State Department employees also are routinely denied access to classified and unclassified networks and systems for failure to complete this required training, according to Judicial Watch's investigation. This stands to reason, does it not? To have untrained officials accessing this sensitive material would be a menace to national security and could play into the hands of the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, and others who endanger American interests.
No wonder the Obama gang running the State Department ignored two separate FOIA requests for information on the required classification training by Clinton, Mills, Abedin, and other covered State Department officials.
Both requests were submitted on August 18, 2015. The first request sought:
• Records related to lists of employees required to complete the Foreign Service Institute course "Classified and Sensitive but Unclassified Information: Identifying and Marking" (PK323) either annually or biannually provided to A/GIS/IPS [Office of Information Programs and Services] by the Office of the Secretary of State; and
• Records regarding reports of employees whose classification authority was suspended due to failure to complete Foreign Service Institute course PK323 as required provided to A/GIS/IPS by the Office of the Secretary of State.
Our second request sought:
• Records concerning the successful completion of the Foreign Service Institute Course PK323, "Classified and Sensitive but Unclassified Information: Identification and Marking," by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Such records include, but are not limited to, any records identifying the training requirements for former Secretary Clinton, any reports from FSI indicating the completion of the course by former Secretary Clinton, and any transcripts or certificate of completion for PK323 provided by former Secretary Clinton to the designated bureau training official in the Office of the Secretary of State;
• Records regarding the successful completion of the Foreign Service Institute Course PK323, "Classified and Sensitive but Unclassified Information: Identification and Marking," by Huma Abedin. Such records include, but are not limited to, any records identifying the training requirements for Ms. Abedin, any reports from FSI indicating the completion of the course by Ms. Abedin, and any transcripts or certificate of completion for PK323 provided by Ms. Abedin to the designated bureau training official in the Office of the Secretary of State;
• Records of the successful completion of the Foreign Service Institute Course PK323, "Classified and Sensitive but Unclassified Information: Identification and Marking," by Cheryl Mills. Such records include, but are not limited to, any records identifying the training requirements for Ms. Mills, any reports from FSI indicating the completion of the course by Ms. Mills, and any transcripts or certificate of completion for PK323 provided by Ms. Mills to the designated bureau training official in the Office of the Secretary of State.
The requests are quite simple. Show us that Hillary Clinton and others at State completed the required training. Tell us if anyone had their access at the State Department suspended for not completing the required training. In short, tell us that Hillary Clinton didn't put the nation's security at risk.
On December 29, 2009, President Obama made the classified information training mandatory with "Executive Order 13526 - Classified National Security Information:"
All original classification authorities must receive training in proper classification (including the avoidance of over-classification) and declassification as provided in this order and its implementing directives at least once a calendar year. Such training must include instruction on the proper safeguarding of classified information and on the sanctions in section 5.5 of this order that may be brought against an individual who fails to classify information properly or protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure. Original classification authorities who do not receive such mandatory training at least once within a calendar year shall have their classification authority suspended by the agency head or the senior agency official designated under section 5.4(d) of this order until such training has taken place.
In October 2010, the training became a federal law under the "Reducing Over-Classification Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-258)." According to the U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual:
The training is mandatory:
On an annual basis for all employees who have original classification authority; and
On a biennial basis for all employees who classify information by using information already classified by another source or who classify based on a classification guide (derivative classification). Any employee with a security clearance may make a derivative classification decision. [Emphasis added]
Did Hillary Clinton and her top aides bother to take the training legally required for the handling of classified information? What training did Hillary Clinton take to allow her to make credible representations about classified information on her illicit email system?
The Obama State Department is illegally covering up the answers to these questions. And that's why we sued in federal court to get the truth.

Gay Marriage Discriminates Against the Catholic Church
"The Obama administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has found 'reasonable cause' to rule that a Catholic prep school has unlawfully discriminated against a homosexual band director formerly in the school's employ.
Mount de Sales Academy terminated the employment contract of band director Flint Dollar on May 21, 2014, citing Dollar's impending attempt to marry his male romantic partner, which would fly in the face of the school's mission 'to provide a high quality education based in teachings of the Catholic Church."

Black Lives Matter, organization
It was formed two years ago in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman who was tried for the murder of black teenager Trayvon Martin-- an outcome resulting from the fact, according to Black Lives Matter, that America’s “corrupt democracy” was built on “indigenous genocide and chattel slavery.”
BLM also believes that blacks in the U.S. are routinely targeted for “extrajudicial killings … by police and vigilantes” in our “white supremacist system.”
One of a member of the criminal Black Liberation Army who killed a New Jersey State trooper in a holdup in 1973 and then fled to Cuba where she has lived ed in “exile” ever since. (At its “protests” some Black Lives Matter members wear t-shirts emblazoned with the slogan “Assata Taught Us.”)
Recently Black Lives Matters sponsored a talk by former New Black Panther chairman Malik Shabazz, who has advocated race war and exhorted blacks to create “funerals in the police community.” (The day after Houston sheriff’s deputy Darren Goforth was murdered by a black assailant in Houston, BLM demonstrators marched outside the Minnesota state fair chanting “pigs in a blanket [referring to body bags], fry ‘em like bacon.”)

Mott The Hoople, 1973 German TV Appearance
http://youtu.be/7uTLEPkbl7M
http://youtu.be/koJxSCSGDkA
24 June 1973 Hits a Go Go, Seeheim Germany
durch die Sendung führt Eddy Becker Mott The Hoople - Drivin‘ Sister Kaminski & Gottemeier - Hauptsache daß man von Gestern ist Wind - Josephine Lynsey De Paul - Sleeping Blue Nights Greater Union - Heaven Help Greater Union - Jimmy Webb Medley Deke Leonard - Diamond Road Wind - The Princess And The Minstrel Amiel Cartwright - Pretty Baby Mott the Hoople – Honaloochie Boogie Lynsey De Paul - All Night Wolfe Tones - The Black Ribbon Band
So it appears Deke Leonard was filming the same show, doing his first solo single, which explains how he came to be there. Deke was a friend of Overend Watts.
Notice Lynsey DePaul was also there - according to Campbell Devine's book this is the event where the name Ariel Bender was coined.
In Deke's latest book "Maximum Darkness" he writes:
"I did the show (it was only miming to ‘Diamond Road’, my latest single, but it was three minutes of exposure on Teutonic TV). Mott The Hoople, old friends, were on just after me and I, coming off, passed them, going on. Ian Hunter grabbed me and dragged me onstage with them, where I mimed to their latest hit, ‘All The Way To Memphis’, sharing a mike with Ian. That was a nice gesture, don’t you think? Of course, it screwed up all the camera angles, rehearsed the previous day, and induced a collective nervous breakdown among the studio technicians. But great art requires great sacrifices, especially by somebody else."
Deke actually shares the mic with Overend; the performance appears to be a tape over live vocals.
