Where's Jeff Bezos' ad addressing this? “A virulent and extremist form of Islam emerged as the number one threat to religious freedom and was revealed as the primary cause of persecution in many of the worst cases.”
Pure Islam.
Open Doors President David Curry told The Christian Post in October that the factors that led to 2015 being the worst year for Christian persecution have stayed in place for 2016 as well.
Top 7 Nations With Worst Record of Christian Persecution: Report
A global charity that investigates the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities has issued a new report that reveals believers are facing a rising level of intolerance and such severe oppression, particularly under seven nations of concern, that “it can scarcely get worse.”
Persecution watchdog group Aid to the Church in Need released its 2016 “Religious Freedom in the World” report on Thursday, highlighting the growing cases of intolerance around the world, particularly between the time period of June 2014 and June 2016 - coinciding with the rise of the Islamic State terror group.
The report included case by case studies of a number of different countries around the world, and the religious discrimination people of faith face. Some of the most extreme forms of oppression were experienced by people in Iraq and Syria, including Christians and Yazidis, who have been targeted in an ongoing genocide campaign by IS.
One Yazidi boy trained for jihad in Syria shared the chilling words his radical instructors told to him: “You have to kill kuffars even if they are your fathers and brothers, because they belong to the wrong religion and they don't worship God.”
The report revealed that 196 countries were examined, with 38 showing “unmistakable evidence” of significant religious freedom violations. Twenty-three of those countries were placed in the top level “Persecution” category, while 15 others in the “Discrimination” group.
Religious freedom conditions “clearly worsened” in 14 countries, the report added, and only three - Bhutan, Egypt and Qatar - showed signs of improvement since the last study in 2014.
Christian church was burnt to the ground by ISIS zealots
The seven nations where persecution was branded so extreme that “it could scarcely get any worse” include: Afghanistan, Iraq (northern), Nigeria, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Syria.
“A virulent and extremist form of Islam emerged as the number one threat to religious freedom and was revealed as the primary cause of persecution in many of the worst cases,” the report noted.
It added that “religious hyper-extremism,” such as the actions of IS in their quest to build a caliphate and kill off minorities, has been on the rise, characterized by mass killings, 'horrific' forms of executions, rape, and extreme torture such as burning people alive, crucifixions, or throwing victims off buildings.
The atrocities committed by Islamist radical groups in nations such as Syria, Iraq and Libya were called arguably some of the “greatest setbacks for religious freedom since the Second Wold War,” with victims being subjugated to a system which “insults almost every tenet of human rights.”
Other watchdog groups, such as Open Doors USA, have called on the global Church to resist being too self-centered, and instead reach out to help its brothers and sisters in need.
Open Doors President David Curry told The Christian Post in October that the factors that led to 2015 being the worst year for Christian persecution have stayed in place for 2016 as well.
“You still have rouge nations like Eritrea, North Korea, Sudan and others, who are not concerned about international justice laws, and are persecuting Christians within their government,” Curry told CP at the time, ahead of the International Day of Prayer.
“I'm not encouraged yet by the response of the global Church, but I'm hopeful that they are going to wake up and see what is happening,” he added.
The votes are in, the ballots counted and now starts the analysis – and according to exit polling from the Council for American Islamic Relations, so-called Islamophobe Donald Trump actually received twice as many votes from the Muslim community than his presidential hopeful predecessor, the more moderate-minded Mitt Romney, did during the 2012 White House fight.
Well, that doesn't seem in line with mainstream media narrative, which says hardline view on Islam are counterproductive to relations with the Muslim communities.
Mitt Romney was decidedly more moderate and less blunt-talking than Donald Trump about Islam,.
Remember, Trump at one point in his campaign called for a ban on Muslim immigration – a point that was later softened to call for extreme vetting of those coming from Muslim-dominated nations unfriendly to U.S. interests. Regardless, the media went wild and slammed Trump as an Islamaphobe, a tag that still shadows him to this day.
“Despite campaign rhetoric some called, Islamophobic and calls for a complete ban on Muslim immigration to the U.S., an exit poll of 2,000 voters conducted by the Council for American Islamic Relations found that 13% of Muslim voters backed Trump.
“That is double the Muslim vote that Republican Mitt Romney received in 2012. Hillary Clinton got 74% of the vote.”
CAIR tried to explain it away by noting that while 15 percent of Muslims do self-identify as Republican, the votes were not so much for Trump, as against Hillary Clinton.
The New York Times, meanwhile, suggested it was the Muslim vote that may have actually given Michigan to Trump. Michigan, where Trump won by 11,000 votes, has seen an explosion in Arab population in recent years.
Read this and share widely. This first appeared in The Hill.
The Republican Representative who proposed the critical legislation has been under withering attacks by Muslim apologists and their running dogs in the enemedia.
Yes, ban the burqa - it is a national security necessity
Georgia State Rep. Jason Spencer, a Republican, has given up his efforts to get his state to adopt a bill that, according to the Washington Post, would have forbidden wearing masks or other face coverings in public, and would have “banned men and women from wearing clothing that conceals their faces when posing for their drivers' license photos or while driving on state roadways.”
Spencer should not have withdrawn the bill. There was nothing wrong with it, and it would have curbed criminal and/or terrorist activity committed by people with their faces concealed. But Spencer's bill ran afoul of the “Islamophobia” victimhood industry.
The Post story details what happened:
“The bill did not specifically mention Muslim women, burqas or niqabs, and Spencer insisted he had 'no intention of targeting a specific group.' But officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim civil rights group, said its purpose was pretty apparent.”
Edward Ahmed Mitchell of CAIR-Georgia said: “We suspect it's motivated by a desire to discriminate against Georgia Muslims.”
“This bill is simply a response to constituents that do have concerns of the rise of Islamic terrorism, and we in the State of Georgia do not want our laws used against us.”
He also explained that the measure was simply a public safety issue:
“Number one, you're not (only) a public safety risk by blocking and obstructing your vision while on the road, but also that you're identifiable to law enforcement.”
The idea of banning face coverings in public is not new.
It was done all over the American West when the West was still wild and bandits and thieves routinely covered their faces. Such a ban does not breach the right to freedom of religion, and today it is a key national security issue. The Islamic full-face covering, the niqab and the burqa, have both been used many times as camouflage for jihad activity, as well as simple criminal activity.
This has happened in the U.S. as well as elsewhere around the world; in Philadelphia, people wearing niqabs to hide their faces have been involved in kidnapping and bank robbery.
What's more, the Islamic face covering for women is not a religious symbol; rather, it is iconic of female subservience and debasement.
Muhammad directed that women must cover everything but their face and hands as a sign of their subjugation: “'When a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this,' and he pointed to her face and hands.”
The niqab and burqa are a political statement - one of misogyny, subjugation and oppression of women - but as heinous as that is, that is not the reason why they should be banned.
The tangential benefit of such a ban is that it would constitute support for liberalism against darkness. But the primary reason why such a ban is needed is that the veil hides people's identities - in this dangerous day and age that cannot stand.
And while the French banned the burqa to maintain the French values of individualism and human dignity, the Georgia proposal was purely based on national security issues, and was not specifically religious or directed at any specific group or organization.
Breitbart News noted that Spencer was “seeking to add the language banning the veil, called a hijab and niqab, as well as a burqa, to the state's anti-Ku Klux Klan laws meant to stop Klan members from wearing hoods and other masks to conceal their identity.” Indeed, from a security standpoint, what's the difference between KKK face coverings and the niqab and burqa?
We are at war, despite the fog of misinformation, disinformation and apologetics that keeps people from understanding the nature and magnitude of the war we are in.
And so it is no surprise that it is not just Muslim women, but of course Islamic supremacist groups such as CAIR that worked to make Spencer's proposal all about Islamo”faux”bia.
They portray every security measure as an attack on Muslims - this is an extraordinary strategy and seemed certainly destined to fail, save for the indefatigable support that Islamic apologists enjoy in the media.
The reality is that it would have been a law regarding all face coverings, and it makes sense. Such a law is particularly needed in light of the fact that we have yet to suffer the full consequences of Obama's disastrous immigration and foreign policies.
We dodged a bullet by electing Donald Trump, but we have much to deal with. Jason Spencer should have stood firm. It is time we stopped sacrificing our national security on the spurious altar of “diversity.”
Donald Trump has demanded an apology from the cast of a musical in New York, saying they harassed his Vice President-elect, Mike Pence, who was at Friday's show. Afterwards, a cast member from “Hamilton” read out a letter to Mr Pence: it said there was alarm that a Trump administration would not protect a diverse America.

Tonight's Saturday Night Cinema is an adaption of literary lion and my favorite author, Victor Hugo. I am partial to his heroic portrait of man, “If you seek a glimpse of human grandeur-turn to a novel by Victor Hugo.”
“The Man Who Laughs is a truly great, a devastatingly beautiful film.”
The second of German director Paul Leni's American films (Cat and the Canary was the first), The Man Who Laughs is a lavish adaptation of the novel by Victor Hugo. The story concerns Gwynplaine, the son of an enemy of the evil King (Sam DeGrasse). Putting Gwynplaine's father to death in his torture chamber, the King exacts a further revenge by ordering that the boy's face be carved into a permanent, hideous smile. Abandoned in the snowy hills, Gwynplaine rescues another outcast, a blind girl named Dea. The two join a circus troupe and grow up together. The adult Gwynplaine (played by Conrad Veidt) falls in love with the sightless Dea (Mary Philbin), who “sees” only his kindnesses and not his grotesquely smiling face. When his noble heritage is revealed, Gwynplaine is presented in court before the Queen, who considers his permanent grin an insult. Once more an outcast, Gwynplaine sails to the New World, with the loving Dea at his side. While many existing prints of the silent Man Who Laughs are in washed-out black and white, it should be noted that the film was originally (and exquisitely) tinted and toned, and was also accompanied by a Fox Movietone musical track. Though the property was later optioned by Kirk Douglas, The Man Who Laughs was never remade.
“The Man Who Laughs demonstrates that, however much we gained with sound, we lost opportunities that arise when storytelling prioritizes vision.” David Sanjek
Carl Laemmle, who sponsored “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and also the French film version of “Les Miserables,” last night added another pictorial translation of Victor Hugo's works, when he presented at the Central Theatre the rather free film translation of that grim study, “L'Homme Qui Rit,” or “The Man Who Laughs.” With the exception of needless prying through keyholes and extravagant conceptions of the Duchess Josiana, this production has been fashioned with considerable skill. It is, of course, a gruesome tale in which the horror is possibly moderated but none the less disturbing. It is, however, a narrative that has served as the inspiration for more than one short story dealing with a beautiful blind girl and a frightfully ugly man.
Paul Leni, who designed the settings for “Variety,” and who directed “The Three Wax Works,” and, in this country, “The Cat and the Canary,” is responsible for this shadow transmutation of Hugo's bludgeon attack on English rule in the Seventeenth Century. Mr. Leni's handling of this subject is in many passages quite expert, for he revels in lights and shadows, and takes advantage of the full details of a man, who, through mutilation by the Comprachios, goes through life with a hideous grin on his countenance. This part is portrayed with astounding cleverness by Conrad Veidt, the German actor who was brought to this country by Universal Pictures Corporation. Part of the time he covers his abnormal mouth, but on other occasions, through wearing huge false teeth, Mr. Veidt sends a chill down one's spine. His affection for Dea, the blind girl, is disquieting, but at the same time he elicits a great deal of sympathy.
The scenes in the Southwark Fair are well done and so is the enthusiasm of the crowd who come to see the laughing man, the clown, who is the mainstay of Ursus, the philosopher, and others with the little caravan. Day after day and night after night this man with the perpetual laugh affords amusement to the throngs, even when his eyes are filled with tears. Mr. Veidt dexterously conceals the lower part of his face during some scenes, so that the sympathy in his eyes, the sadness at his plight, cause one to forget momentarily his awful mouth.
There is one scene that was minutely described by the author and that is where Gwynplaine, the laughing man, is sought out by the Wapentak, tapped on the back, and taken to Chatham Prison. It is not done with quite the hush one anticipates, but the presence of Ursus, at the prison portals, distracted and terrified by the silent methods of the Wapentak and others succeeds in depicting a sketchy idea of Hugo's pages.
Queen Anne, impersonated by the robust Josephine Crowell, is perceived during one stage of the proceedings, receiving Gwynplaine as a peer of the realm, Lord Clancharlie. She knows not of the man's disfigurement and neither do the members of the House of Lords, and so when Gwynplaine exposes his countenance, they are at first outraged at the thought that a clown in their midst, is laughing at the Queen. The awful grin is contagious, and soon the sober and sedate Lords are themselves splitting their sides with merriment.
Mary Philbin is well cast as Dea. She is comely and calm. Olga Backanova is a little too reminiscent of Hollywood as the Duchess Josiana. Stuart Holmes injects a few brief spells of amusement by his disdain of hoi-polloi. Same De Grasse has a few short innings as James II. Cesare Gravina is excellent as Ursus, and Brandon Hurst serves well the part of Barkilphedro.
There are times when this picture is fairly close to the author's writing, but on other occasions it is snatched away and filled with startling achievements, such as one might imagine seeing in a film with d'Artagnan. It also contains a deal of the stuff of which picture producers are so fond. On the whole, it is gruesome but interesting, and one of the few samples of pictorial work in which there is no handsome leading man.
The proceeds of last night's performance were donated toward Amis de Blerancourt, under the auspices of the Film Bureau.

“When Love Comes Stealing” [Love Theme from “The Man Who Laughs” (with Lyrics)]
A Sharia court in Iran sentenced three Christians to 80 lashes each for drinking holy communion wine – a common practice in their faith but a blasphemous act by Muslim standards, which forbids the partaking of alcohol.
Specifically, the trio were sentenced not because they were Christians and took communion, which isn't criminal, even in Iran. But rather they were sentenced because they were once Muslims who converted to Christianity – a crime, according to Sharia law – and therefore committed blasphemy by drinking wine because their conversions weren't regarded as acceptable or legal.
“Yaser Mosibzadeh, Saheb Fadayee and Mohammed Reza Omidi will be flogged in public after being arrested at a house church gathering in Rasht, Iran, earlier this year.
“The trio spent weeks in prison before finally being released on bail, but will now be subjected to the cruel and degrading punishment after being found guilty by Islamist judges. …
“Security agents also raided the home of their pastor Yousef Nadarkhani and his wife Fatemeh Pasandideh and arrested them at the same time, but they were not detained.
“Iranian authorities later charged converts Mosibzadeh, Fadayee and Omidi for consuming alcohol during a communion service.
“It is not illegal for Christians to drink alcohol in Iran but under Islamic law, Muslims are forbidden from drinking and it is illegal for Muslims to convert.
“The trio's conversion from Islam to Christianity is not recognised by Iranian authorities who subscribe to Sharia law.”
The punishment is harsh; some facing lashings actually faint after the first few.
Public floggings in Iran take place with fair frequency.
Defense lawyers are planning to appeal the public flogging, the Express reported. And Release International, a Christian charity that does work around the globe, has petitioned Iran's morality and governing authorities to quit persecuting citizens for their faiths, and to release the just-sentenced Christians from their punishments.
“Release Chief Executive Paul Robinson said: 'Why should Christians be lashed for taking communion?
“'Why is Iran refusing to allow its own citizens that most basic of all freedoms, the freedom to choose their own faith?
“'These men have chosen to call themselves Christians. The state should respect that.'”
Public lashings are commonplace in Iran, a country where Christianity has been forced underground and where morality police keep close watch on the few churches that are public. Of an estimated 108 Christians arrested in the past year for faith-based reasons, 90 or so have been imprisoned, the Express reported. And many of those prisoners have been beaten and threatened with torture and death.

“CNN pushes false narrative of Trump-inspired anti-Muslim crimewave” Jihad Watch, November 13, 2016:
One of the biggest lessons we learned during the 2016 presidential election was that the mainstream media is not just biased; it is not even a news source at all. It is just a propaganda arm for the hard Left and the Democratic Party, including its agenda of denial, willful ignorance, and false Muslim victimhood in the face of the jihad threat.
“CNN Pushes Narrative Of Trump-Inspired Anti-Muslim Crimewave,” by Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, November 12, 2016:
Liberal news network CNN is pushing a narrative of an anti-Muslim crimewave inspired by Donald Trump's election.
An article published Saturday night catalogued various reports - some unconfirmed - of anti-Muslim incidents.
One anti-Muslim incident that was breathlessly reported by the press - although not included in CNN's article on Saturday - has already been proven to be a hoax.
A Muslim woman who claimed to have been attacked and robbed by supporters of President-elect Donald Trump after his election on Tuesday admitted that she made the whole thing up.
The woman, who attends the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, claimed that two white men, one of whom was wearing a Trump hat, attacked her and stole her wallet and the hijab she was wearing.
The unnamed woman claimed her attackers knocked her to the ground while hurling racial slurs at her.
She later admitted to police that she fabricated the entire thing.
Reason columnist Elizabeth Brown argued that the entire notion of a Trump-inspired crimewave is false in a column titled, “There Is No Violent Hate-Crimewave In 'Trump's America.'”
Documents released by WikiLeaks revealed the close relationship between CNN - which some Trump supporters refer to as the Clinton News Network - and the Clinton campaign….

Just received photos of a young man in Boston who was brutally beaten after some liberals overheard his conversation at a bar. He was talking to two girl friends about the election and a couple of eavesdropping Democrats overheard him and started butting in. The conversation got heated and the liberals got kicked out of the bar. They waited outside the bar for the Trump supporter to leave and then began “chirping him.” The Trump supporter walked across the street with a girl and one of the liberals came running from behind and sucker punched him in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. Then 5 other kids ran over and started beating on him while he was on the ground. Finally, the kids' friends were able to break it up but not before the liberals got a few hits in. So much for “tolerance,” “acceptance,” and “love.” The pictures speak for themselves:

George Paine is not just an anti-semite but like all hypocrite Dems – a racist too. Meade's membership in the Belle Meade Country club, which has 600 members, is a white only club. Allegations claimed that Paine, “committed misconduct by holding membership in an organization that practices invidious discrimination on the bases of race and sex.” Paine resigned.
The NY Times even did a piece on Payne's racism in 2011. But he is still best buds with Podesta in 2015.
In a follow-up e-mail, Judge Paine said he found it “remarkably hypocritical” that the Sixth Circuit had singled him out for investigation when two other judges had been members of the club. One was a federal district judge who has since retired. The other was Judge Gilbert S. Merritt, a liberal member of the appeals court and an honorary, nonvoting member of Belle Meade.
In an interview, Judge Merritt acknowledged that Belle Meade used to discriminate against blacks. But these days, he said, minority members would be welcome if they could only be persuaded to apply. “Maybe they would not feel comfortable,” he said.

“Nigerian Middle Belt state: 800+ Christians killed, 800+ injured, 100+ churches destroyed,” By World Watch Monitor, October 26, 2016:
Nigeria's Middle Belt is the scene of ever-continuing attacks on Christian farmers by mainly Muslim Hausa-Fulani herdsmen, including this past week where attacks have occurred in both Kaduna and Benue states. Now a recent report about another state in the Middle Belt, Nasarawa, shows that it too has been the scene of serious violence against Christians. In the period January 2013–May 2016, 826 Christians were killed and 878 injured. There were 102 churches destroyed or damaged.
Beside these, 787 houses were destroyed, as well as nine shops, and 32 motorised vehicles. Many families were completely deprived of their livelihoods. Around 21,000 Christians were reported as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in different camps inside and outside Nasarawa. Due to the difficult security situation, the authors of the in-depth fact-finding report are convinced that they were only able to report part of what really happened.
Their Nigeria Conflict and Security Analysis Network (NCSAN) report shows that Nasarawa has been engulfed in various forms of conflict since its creation in 1996. Many researchers, policy makers and government officials have explained the conflict in terms of politics, ethnicity and economic contestation over land and resources. In most cases, the religious component of the conflict has been completely downplayed, marginalised, excluded or neglected.
The 13 Local Government Areas of Nasarawa.nigerianmuse.com
However, field research conducted by NCSAN on the conflicts which occurred from 2013 to 2016 reveals that Christians have been specifically targeted. Emerging evidence suggests there is a strategic agenda to target and persecute ethnic groups that are predominantly Christian.
The targeting of Christians appears to be carried out by the Hausa-Fulani herdsmen and by deliberate government policies to marginalise Christians and Christian communities. This is evident in political power-sharing and domination through traditional rulership. Islamic identity tends to give Muslims undue advantage over the affairs of the state. Indeed, state government policies are crafted to favour Islam and Muslims. The ongoing persecution of Christians in Nasarawa, like many other places in northern Nigeria, has been ignored.
This study unearths the drivers of persecution against Christian communities in Nasarawa and, importantly, it provides the basis for a policy proposition that encourages the need to build common citizenship among the people.

Hillary Clinton is the priciest hooker on the face of the planet. And Huma is her pimp to the Muslim world.
“Abedin implicated Clinton in foundation trade-off with Morocco amid $12 million commitment,” by Ed Henry
WikiLeaks sheds light on Clinton pay-to-play allegations
Just hours after Hillary Clinton dodged a question at the final presidential debate about charges of “pay to play” at the Clinton Foundation, a new batch of WikiLeaks emails surfaced with stunning charges that the candidate herself was at the center of negotiating a $12 million commitment from King Mohammed VI of Morocco.
One of the more remarkable parts of the charge is that the allegation came from Clinton's loyal aide, Huma Abedin, who described the connection in a January 2015 email exchange with two top advisers to the candidate, John Podesta and Robby Mook.
Abedin wrote that “this was HRC's idea” for her to speak at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in Morocco in May 2015 as an explicit condition for the $12 million commitment from the king.
“She created this mess and she knows it,” Abedin wrote to Podesta and Mook.
The “mess” refers in part to the fact that the three Clinton advisers were discussing the possibility of the former secretary of state pulling out of speaking at the May 2015 event because it was happening one month after the official launch of her presidential campaign and could raise more questions about her role at the foundation.
In April 2015, Politico reported the Clinton Foundation was accepting a “major donation” of at least $1 million from a Moroccan government-owned company, OCP, a phosphate exporter. Politico added that an official at the foundation said it was “unlikely” Hillary would attend the May 2015 event, just weeks after the April launch of her campaign.

It turns out the amount was far bigger - $12 million - and there was a far bigger struggle over whether Clinton would attend because she had a much more extensive role in lining up the money than the public ever knew.
In January 2015, Mook indicated Clinton was still considering whether to attend the event, even though her advisers clearly seemed to be concerned about the appearance of such heavy involvement in the foundation amid questions about its fundraising.
With the subject line, “FYI CGI Africa,” Mook sent an email to Podesta and Abedin on January 18, 2015.
“Came up on our call with HRC,” wrote Mook. “John flagged the same issues we discussed, Huma. HRC said she's sitll(sic)considering.”
Abedin wrote back later that day, and suggested the King would be furious if Clinton pulled out of the event.
“Just to give you some context, the condition upon which the Moroccans agreed to host the meeting was her participation,” Abedin wrote. “If hrc was not part if(sic) it, meeting was a non-starter.”
Abedin added that CGI had not even come up with the idea to hold the event in Morocco, instead it was generated by Clinton herself.
“This was HRC's idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request,” wrote Abedin. “The King has personally committed approx $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting.”
Since Abedin was writing this in January 2015, after Clinton had already left the State Department, it is unclear if “our office” is a reference to this meeting being something that was set up years earlier while Clinton was still secretary or something that was put together by her personal office after she left the Obama administration.
“What did these donors get in return?” Charles Ortel, a philanthropy expert who has been critical of the Clinton Foundation's practices, said in an interview with Fox News. “We are scratching the surface now.”
While Clinton was secretary of state, her department in 2011 charged that the Moroccan government was behind “arbitrary arrests and corruption in all branches of government.”
At the final presidential debate in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, Republican nominee Donald Trump demanded Clinton give back large contributions to the foundation from countries with questionable human rights records.
“It's a criminal enterprise,” Trump said. “Saudi Arabia giving $25 million, Qatar, all of these countries. You talk about women and women's rights? So these are people that push gays off business - off buildings. These are people that kill women and treat women horribly. And yet you take their money.”
Clinton did not directly answer Trump's attack, instead focusing on her own questions about Trump's foundation as well as what she billed as positive parts of the work of the Clinton Foundation.
“But I am happy, in fact I'm thrilled to talk about the Clinton Foundation, because it is a world-renowned charity and I am so proud of the work that it does,” said Clinton, adding it had made it possible for 11 million people around the world with HIV-AIDS to afford treatment.
The moderator of the debate, Chris Wallace of Fox News, also pressed Clinton on the issue of donors getting favors for major contributions.
“Why isn't what happened and what went on between you and the Clinton Foundation, why isn't it what Mr. Trump calls pay to play?” asked Wallace.
“Well, everything I did as secretary of state was in furtherance of our country's interests and our values,” said Clinton. “The State Department has said that. I think that's been proven.”
Though in the email exchange revealed by Wikileaks, Abedin suggested Clinton initiated the solicitation of the $12 million commitment, and the aide made it clear it was going to cause a major issue with the Moroccan government if the candidate pulled out of the CGI event that ran from May 5-7 of 2015.
“It will break a lot of china to back out now when we had so many opportunities to do it in the past few months,” Abedin wrote in January 2015. “She created this mess and she knows it.”
Hillary Clinton did not end up attending the event, though Bill and Chelsea Clinton did go to Morocco and moderated various panel discussions.
Lanny Davis, a longtime adviser to the Clinton family, told Fox News that the Clinton Foundation helped 11 million people with AIDS, fed hungry children and said the focus should be on the fact that the Obama administration has said there are indications the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin is behind the hack of Podesta's emails.
“This is the first time we've allowed a foreign power, much less Putin, to interfere,” Davis said.
Davis added that he knows that when it comes to the people who have worked at the foundation, “their hearts were in the right place.” He acknowledged that any time emails like this leak, there will be “optics” problems.
“When you're in the sausage factory, it doesn't always look so good,” Davis said.
Hillary has vowed to bring this here and increase Muslim migrants by 550%.
Muslim immigration from sharia nations must be stopped.
“743 Christian Refugees, Converts Attacked by Muslims in German Camps, Persecution Report Finds,”Christian Post, October 20, 2016:
Persecution watchdog group Open Doors has found that at least 743 Christian refugees living in camps in Germany were attacked by Muslim refugees in 2016, pointing to big failures on the part of German authorities when it comes to understanding the role of religion in the lives of refugees.
“The documented cases confirm that the situation of Christian refugees in German refugee shelters is still unbearable. As a minority they are discriminated against, beaten up by and receive death threats from Muslim refugees and partly by the Muslim staff (securities, interpreters, volunteers) on grounds of their religion,” found a major survey published by Open Doors Germany earlier in October, representing a number of organizations, such as Persecuted Christians and the Needy, European Mission Society Fellowship, and the Central Council of Oriental Christians in Germany.
“Taking these new cases into consideration there are now 743 Christian refugees who have reported religiously motivated attacks. With more staff at hand, a significantly higher number of cases could have been included in the survey,” it added.
The report noted that the latest numbers of persecuted refugees is most likely only the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to religiously motivated attacks on Christians and Yazidis, estimating that there are high numbers of unreported cases as well.
Migrants from Syria sit in their tent in a refugee camp in Celle, Lower-Saxony, Germany, October 15, 2015. With the approach of winter, authorities are scrambling to find warm places to stay for the thousands of refugees streaming into Germany every day. In desperation, they have turned to sports halls, youth hostels and empty office buildings. But as these options dry up, tent cities have become the fall-back plan: despite falling temperatures, a survey by German newspaper Die Welt showed at least 42,000 refugees were still living in tents.
The survey further reported that many of the refugees escaped from horrifying ordeals in Syria and the surrounding region, fleeing terror groups and civil war that have created a great humanitarian crisis, but are now also facing traumatizing conditions at German refugee camps, where they had hoped to find safety and security, but instead found injustice.
“We believe that the trivialization, concealment or misuse of this injustice, be it for political or other motives, will give encouragement to the perpetrators and increase the suffering of the victims,” the group stated.
“As a Christian charity, Open Doors is not against Muslims, as CEO Markus Rode has already made clear in a comprehensive statement in January 2015. It is a constitutive element of Christian faith that Muslims are loved by God and are to be met with love and compassion,” it added.
“At the same time it has to be stated that Islam, which is the majority religion in most of the refugees' home countries, is responsible for the massive violation of the human right to freedom of religion. This is for example the case when Muslims threaten to kill converts while invoking the Quran as a basis for their action.”
There have been a number of news reports of Christians facing attacks by Muslims at German camps, such as a case from October 2015 where a convert to Christianity was reportedly beaten unconscious with a baton by Muslim refugees at a camp in Hamburg-Eidelstedt.
The Daily Express shared at the time that the unnamed 24-year-old Iranian victim was saved by more than a dozen onlookers who pulled the attacker off of him.
In its conclusions, the NGOs called for an end to “integration experiments” at the expense of religious minorities in German asylum and reception centers.
Open Doors urged German authorities to consider implementing several different measures aimed at protecting religious minorities, such as merging groups in such a way that the proportion of Christians roughly corresponds to that of the Muslims in the shared accommodations, and increasing the percentage of non-Muslim security staff.

Today we find out that Hillary deleted emails with Bryan Pagliano, the IT technician who managed her email server. Clinton had said she did not recall having any communication with Pagliano about maintaining her private email account.
Hillary Clinton deleted several emails she exchanged with Bryan Pagliano, the former Clinton campaign official who managed her private email system while at the State Department.
Judicial Watch, which released the emails on Wednesday, say that they undermine Clinton's recent claims, made under oath, that she did not recall communicating with Pagliano about her emails.
The emails are part of a trove of 30,000-plus emails that Clinton and her team failed to turn over to the State Department in Dec. 2014. They claimed that the records were personal in nature and not work-related. (Daily Caller)
“New Email Between Clinton and IT Staffer Who Pleaded Fifth,” By Justin Fishel, ABC News, October 19, 2016:
An email has surfaced between Hillary Clinton and her IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, the man responsible for maintaining her private email server - and critics say that it may undermine her claim that she could not recall communicating with him.
The note was one of the nearly 15,000 additional emails recovered by the FBI, published today by the conservative group Judicial Watch, which obtained it through a freedom of information lawsuit.
The content of the 2012 email is mundane: Clinton is asking Pagliano to fix her BlackBerry, which has receiving message; but it may be significant in other ways.
First, it represents only the second known email recovered between Clinton and Pagliano, aside from a birthday message he sent her in 2012.
And second, some say it may be perceived by as yet another blow to her trustworthiness.
That's because in sworn testimony submitted as part of a separate email-related lawsuit also brought by Judicial Watch, Clinton says she does not recall having any communication with Pagliano about maintaining her private email account. In that testimony Clinton submitted that some version of the answer that “she does not recall” on 20 separate occasions.
“Secretary Clinton states that she does not recall having communications with Bryan Pagliano concerning or relating to the management, preservation, deletion, or destruction of any e-mails in her clintonemail.com email account,” the testimony reads.
“These new emails leave little doubt that Hillary Clinton was less than forthright and misled the public when she wrote, under oath, that she 'couldn't recall' communicating with Bryan Pagliano about her email scheme,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “No wonder Clinton and her agents deleted these emails time and time again.”
While many like Judicial Watch feel Clinton was misleading, it's unlikely Clinton's words will cause her any legal troubles. Her declaration that she does not recall is far different from claiming there was no communication.
Pagliano invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 130 times during a court deposition involving Judicial Watch and did the same in front of a congressional panel. But he also struck and immunity agreement with the Justice Department in return for his cooperation with FBI investigators. The FBI ultimately concluded Clinton should not be prosecuted.
Clinton's campaign has yet to respond to a request for comment about this new email.
Hillary Clinton's treatment of State Department security personnel was so vile and disgusting that many agents left the agency or asked to be reassigned, according to FBI documents released Monday. This is consistent with the reprehensible treatment Secret Service received at the hands of the despotic Hillary Clinton. “Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents. However, by the end of CLINTON's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her,” the interview summary states.
“Good morning, ma'am,” a member of the uniformed Secret Service once greeted Hillary Clinton.
“F*** off,” she replied.
That exchange is one among many that active and retired Secret Service agents shared with Ronald Kessler, author of First Family Detail, a compelling look at the intrepid personnel who shield America's presidents and their families - and at those whom they guard.
Kessler writes flatteringly and critically about people in both parties. Regarding the Clintons, Kessler presents Chelsea as a model protectee who respected and appreciated her agents. He describes Bill as a difficult chief executive, but an easygoing ex-president. And Kessler exposes Hillary as an epically abusive Arctic monster.
“When in public, Hillary smiles and acts graciously,” Kessler explains. “As soon as the cameras are gone, her angry personality, nastiness, and imperiousness become evident.” He adds: “Hillary Clinton can make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi.”
And:
“Hillary was very rude to agents, and she didn't appear to like law enforcement or the military,” former Secret Service agent Lloyd Bulman recalls. “She wouldn't go over and meet military people or police officers, as most protectees do. She was just really rude to almost everybody. She'd act like she didn't want you around, like you were beneath her.”
“Hillary didn't like the military aides wearing their uniforms around the White House,” one former agent remembers. “She asked if they would wear business suits instead. The uniform's a sign of pride, and they're proud to wear their uniform. I know that the military was actually really offended by it.”
Could you imagine the incredible amount of arrogant it takes to tell a highly-trained agent who is protecting your life to “f- off?” That is rude and a reflection of what a horrible person Hillary truly is. How can America elect a person like that? That is not the personality we need as a Commander in Chief.
WASHINGTON - State Department security personnel so disliked Hillary Clinton that many left the agency or asked to be reassigned, according to FBI documents released Monday.
The revelations come from an interview summary of one unnamed Department of Homeland Security official that was conducted as part of the FBI's investigation into Clinton's handling of classified information while secretary of state.
“ explained that CLINTON's treatment of DS agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere,” the FBI documents state.
“Prior to CLINTON's tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents. However, by the end of CLINTON's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her,” the interview summary states.
The official who was interviewed worked for the Department of Homeland Security and was a previous State employee.
He said Secret Service agents also complained about Clinton.
The documents are being released after the more than year-long FBI investigation into Clinton's handling of classified information on her private email server while she served as the US' top diplomat.
The interview summary from the DHS official states that Clinton took an unnecessary risk by demanding a window be open in her armored vehicle on a trip in “occupied territory” in “Palestine,” despite the driver declining to do so due to the security situation.
“CLINTON disregarded security and diplomatic protocols, occasionally without regard for the safety of her staff and protection detail, in order to gain favorable press,” the document states.
The document details a visit to Jakarta, Indonesia, for a photo opportunity with a “'clean cooking stoves' initiative” at an area that security believed was too dangerous.
But Clinton, traveling “with hand-picked media who would present her in favorable light,” demanded they go.
A couple of days when reading through the Podesta emails, I came across one fro mApril 8th with Podesta sort of bragging to the President of the Soros-backed propaganda machine –The Center for American Progress (CAP).– about how he was cooking for 30 of her reporter friends.
Who was Podesta cooking for?

Look at how these traitors achieve their ends - how they make the sausage, as it were. No one understands how deep and insidious the conspiracy is between the Democrats and the Fourth Estate. It's how the left destroyed this nation.
There is nothing like this, not even remotely, on the right. Just the opposite. These same quislings actively work to destroy the most effective voices on the right.
For years I have been describing the this axis of evil. Now we get to see how it actually happens. There is conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact. This is fact.

This makes it clear that the whole “Trojan Horse” investigation was a sham. The UK is fine with the Islamization of its schools. And that will be only the beginning.
“Two teachers in 'Trojan horse' school who fed pupils a 'diet of Islam', segregated assemblies and ignored sex education are allowed BACK into classrooms by a High Court judge,” by Jenny Awford, MailOnline, October 13, 2016:
Two teachers who were struck off for feeding pupils a 'diet of Islam' at a school linked to the 'Trojan horse' scandal are being allowed back into the classroom.
Inam Anwar and Akeel Ahmed, who taught at Park View in Birmingham and were part of WhatsApp group 'Park View Brotherhood', were banned in February.
But a High Court judge found the teachers were treated 'unfairly' and he overturned the ban today.
They claimed they were targeted after the 'Trojan Horse' letter was published in 2013 – which detailed a plot to introduce hardline Muslim teaching into schools.
Both men were struck off this year after a National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) panel found they exercised 'undue religious influence' on pupils.
The panel heard the pupils at the 600-strong secondary school were never taught about safe sex, relationships or contraception.
Anwar, the head of modern languages, and Ahmed, in charge of religious studies, were accused of changing the curriculum so sex education was not taught.
NCTL officials also said Ahmed organised religious assemblies where boys were segregated from girls.
He was also said to have encouraged prayer during the school day through posters and a call to prayer on the school's loudspeaker system.
Both men were also accused of taking part in a WhatsApp chat that discussed the murder of soldier Lee Rigby and the Boston Marathon bombings.
They were cleared of distributing or using leaflets, promoting the view that a married man has an 'entitlement' to have sex with his wife.
The NCTL said their misconduct was serious and Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan, agreed that they should be banned from teaching in England indefinitely.
But Mr Justice Phillips today ruled at London's High Court that the men's treatment had been 'unjust'.
He accepted that important evidence had not been disclosed to the pair and there had been 'serious procedural impropriety' in the NCTL's fact-finding process.
Upholding the pair's judicial review challenge, he ruled their treatment had been 'unfair' and they were reinstated back into the profession….
The hits from WikiLeaks just keep on coming. The latest revelation to emerge is that one of Bill Clinton's personal aides – his personal chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, for that matter – told Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta in an email that “all” the donations from “foreign governments” were in and tallied.
Flourney's exact words?
They went like this: “Foreign govt donors: all the money is in.” The subject line of the email was “endowment.”
“The endowment Flournoy references is apparently the Clinton Foundation's fund set up to help financially sustain the global charity, should Hillary Clinton win the White House in November.
“Flournoy's email to Podesta coincided with news reports about the origin of the Clinton Foundation's quarter billion dollar endowment - but proceeded the widespread scrutiny of the Foundation's acceptance of contributions from foreign countries with business before the U.S. government while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, as first reported in Clinton Cash.
“What's more, Flournoy's 'foreign government donors' email predates Clinton Cash's proven revelations about how Hillary Clinton repeatedly broke her promise to the Obama administration that she would disclose all of the Clnton Foundation's funding sources.”
And just how profitable did the Clinton Foundation's endowment plan prove to be?
Politico reported the foundation's coffers grew from roughly $20 million to $250 million shortly after Clinton left her State Department post in early 2013.
“A key reason for the rapid growth of the Clinton Foundation's $250 million endowment was the charity's former chief development officer, Dennis Cheng.
“After joining the Clinton Foundation in 2011, Cheng, according to the organization's spokesman, “led our efforts to secure the Foundation's future by raising a $248 million endowment.
“Many of the contributions that make up the Clinton Foundation's $250 million endowment came from foreign governments. According to the Wall Street Journal, “The Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Oman donations,” which range from $12 to $35 million, 'qent to the endowment drive.'
“Cheng left the Clinton Foundation in 2015 to become the national finance director for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.”
The nation will not recover from the Clinton axis of evil. Trump is saying all the right things. His speech today was historic, it was better than Reagan. It was Churchillian. If you have seen it, watch below.
Don't listen to the Democrat party media, they're rabid. It's wall to wall Trump libel.. They waging war against us, against truth, against freedom.
The full results from Sunday night's debate are in, and Donald Trump has come from behind to take the lead over Hillary Clinton.
The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton's 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.
Rasmussen Reports updates its White House Watch survey daily Monday through Friday at 8:30 am Eastern based on a three-day rolling average of 1,500 Likely U.S. Voters. Monday's survey was the first following the release of an 11-year-old video showing Trump discussing women in graphic sexual detail but did not include any polling results taken after the debate. All three nights of the latest survey follow Sunday's debate.
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has dropped slightly to six percent (6%) support, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein holds steady at two percent (2%). Four percent (4%) still like some other candidate in the race, and another four percent (4%) remain undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Eighty-four percent (84%) now say they are certain how they will vote in this year's presidential election, and among these voters, Trump posts a 49% to 46% lead over Clinton. Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it's Clinton 40%, Trump 37%, Johnson 19% and Stein four percent (4%).
The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 10-12, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
[Rasmussen Reports analysts Amy Holmes and Fran Coombs are available for interested media. Please call 732-776-9777 ext. 205for interviews.]
Trump has 75% support among Republicans, nearly identical to Clinton's 76% backing among Democrats. He has 15% of the Democratic vote; she picks up 13% GOP support. Trump holds a double-digit advantage among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
Johnson gets 13% of the unaffiliated vote, but like Stein is in low single digits among Democrats and Republicans.
Clinton continues to lead among women, while Trump has regained his advantage among men. Those under 40 still prefer the Democrat but also remain the most undecided. Older voters favor Trump. The older the voter, the more likely he or she is to be certain of their vote.
Trump remains ahead among whites and has a slight lead among other minority voters. He appears to be making a dent in the black vote, but blacks still overwhelmingly favor Clinton.
Ninety (90%) of voters who Strongly Approve of the job President Obama is doing choose Clinton. Among voters who Strongly Disapprove of the president's job performance, 89% prefer Trump.
Hillary Clinton jumped on the release last week of an 11-year-old video in which Trump makes graphic sexual comments to say it shows her Republican rival's demeaning attitude toward women. But Trump countered that Clinton was an enabler who allowed her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to sexually assault women for years. We'll tell you what voters think at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today.

If you have limited your social media participation promotional content only, you are missing the point. There's nothing inherently wrong with using social media as a place to share announcements about new products, upcoming sales, and specials, or boost flagging sales. In fact, doing these things is a good idea.
It's just that your biggest opportunities on social media channels isn't promotion. It's branding, and the best way to improve your branding is to reach audiences with your unique messaging. Remember that consumers don't just care about your products and prices. They want to connect with brands that reflect their values.
1. Give Your Audience a Behind The Scenes Look
Your values and your mission can be best seen in your daily operations. Invite customers in by filming behind the scenes videos. Let them meet the people who produce your products and run things behind the scenes. The passion, enthusiasm, and professionalism that is reflected in your workplace can be infectious. This is especially the case when customers see that your branding and your operations are in line with one another.
You'll accomplish something else by doing this. People enjoy feeling like insiders, and as if they are in the know. It makes them feel as if they are a part of something exclusive. Behind the scenes content gives people those feelings.
2. Highlight People And Causes You Believe in
Is your business active in social causes? If so, let your audience know the causes that you support, and that they support by patronizing your business. Even if you don't include charitable giving in your business model, you can still find causes that reflect your mission and signal boost them on your social media pages.
Don't forget about inspirational people. Has someone on your team beaten a serious illness, run a marathon, or accomplished some other amazing feat? What about someone in your community. Share their story on social media.
3. Curate Humorous Touching or Inspiring Posts That Reflect Your Brand
Finding trending stories and videos that make an emotional impact is relatively easy. In fact, you could probably head to your Facebook feed right now, and find at least one post that fits in this category. The challenge is finding the right content to curate.
Sharing just any viral post or video might earn shares and a little bump in traffic, but that doesn't help you with your messaging. The key is to find content that resonates and represents your values. Instead of thinking, 'hey, a lot of people will like this post', think 'people who like this post share the values that my brand represents.'
4. Tape Introduction Videos of Company Representatives
Why not take the concept of the 'About Us' page to the next level. Film video introductions of the folks who represent your company, and who were responsible for getting your operations off of the ground. People will feel a much stronger connection, and will buy into your messaging if they connect your brand with people they believe are sincere and trustworthy. Getting to know you content should be very important to brands as part of a marketing strategy that focuses on customer relationships.
5. Use Visual Content to Make Emotional Connections
Trust is a key element when forming connections with your customers. Visual content has been shown to evoke feelings of trust. It also evokes emotions. So, include pictures, videos, and other visual elements in your social media posts.
To really connect and give your messaging impact, share lots of photographs with members of your team. Remember that smiling pictures of women are especially good at increasing trust.
6. Ask Questions And Solicit Opinions
It might help to think of social media marketing like online dating. You can tell potential matches all about yourself. You can broadcast what you like and dislike, your stands on social issues, even share your future goals. In the end, in order to establish a relationship with anybody, conversations have to take place.
On social media, you have to create openings for these conversations to happen. The way to do this is to ask open-ended questions and invite your followers to share their thoughts. Then, when they do this, engage them. When you participate in conversations, rather than simply posting content, you help to establish and strengthen customer relations.
7. Focus on Accuracy And Consistency
The best way to make your messaging connect with your followers is simply to show up with good content on a regular basis. If you curate content, source it from reputable sites, and be sure that your sources' values are close to your own. Remember that when you share content, you aren't just endorsing a particular piece, you are endorsing its source as well.
When it comes to the content that you create, it should be relevant, accurate, and it should focus on meeting your audience's needs. If you become known as a source of quality information that helps people to solve their problems, you will have no trouble getting your message out.
Conclusion
By focusing on messaging instead of promotion, you build trust, establish your brand and your employees as thought leaders, and create believability. Doing this takes creating and sharing content that reflects your values, allows people to get to know your people and your story, and that is high in quality and visual elements.
