PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — The swelling numbers of leftist protesters surrounding the Democratic National Convention (DNC) are helping to lower the various groups’ inhibitions about showing their true intentions. Signs promoting Black Lives Matter can be seen waving next to signs calling for the destruction of Israel as the protesters chant, “Long live Palestine!”

The association between groups supporting Black Lives Matter and groups wanting to end the existence of Israel were made abundantly clear in the crowd. Several signs called for a “Free Palestine from the river to the sea.” The crowd and the signs can be seen in the image above.

6,726 Syrian Refugees Admitted to U.S. So Far in FY16--But Only 23 Are Christians

(CNSNews.com) – With ten weeks to go until the end of the fiscal year, the Obama administration continues to admit Syrian refugees at an accelerated pace, and has now exceeded two-thirds of President Obama’s target of 10,000 by September 30.

The proportion of Christians among those resettled continues to languish below half of one percent, while other non-Sunnis account for just over one percent.

As of Monday, 1,515 Syrian refugees fleeing the civil war in their homeland had been admitted since the beginning of July, and a total of 6,726 since FY 2016 began on October 1, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data.

Of the July arrivals, 1,501 (99.0 percent) were Sunnis, and three (0.19 percent) were Christians. The other 11 (0.72 percent) were other Muslims.

Of the 6,726 total Syrian refugee arrivals since the beginning of FY 2016, 6,625 (98.4 percent) were Sunnis and 23 (0.3 percent) were Christians – including 15 described simply as “Christian,” five Catholics, two Orthodox and one Greek Orthodox adherent.

The remaining 78 (1.1 percent) comprised 49 refugees described in the data simply as “Moslem,” 17 Shi’a Muslims, 10 Yazidis, one of “no religion” and one “other religion.”

To reach its 10,000 target by September 30, the administration will need to admit average of 1,597 each month for July, August and September. With a week of this month to go, and 1,515 admitted as of early Monday, the July target looks to be easily within reach.

Of the 1,515 refugees from Syria admitted since the beginning of July, 363 (23.9 percent) are men between the ages of 14 and 50, another 322 (21.2 percent) are women aged 14-50, and 784 (51.7 percent) are children aged under 14 – 371 boys and 413 girls.

Their ethnic breakdown is: 1,472 Arabs, 22 Kurds, 18 Turkmen and three Armenians.

Of the 6,726 admitted since in FY 2016, 1,661 (24.6 percent) are men 14-50, while 1,537 (22.8 percent) are women aged 14-50. Another 3,240 (48.1 percent) are children aged under 14, made up of 1,658 boys and 1,582 girls.

Of the 6,726, 6,159 are Arabs, 497 are Kurds, 49 are Turkmen, four are Turks, three are Armenian, two are Syriac, one is Assyrian and 11 are “other.”

The 6,726 Syrian refugees have been resettled across the nation, with the largest groups going to Michigan (782), California (603), Arizona (512), Texas (471), Pennsylvania (429), Illinois (421), New York (367), Florida (329), North Carolina (312) and Ohio (305).

Screening concerns

Obama has rejected Republican concerns about security vetting for Syrian refugees, saying that “they are subjected to the most rigorous process conceivable.”

“There is an entire apparatus of all of our law enforcement agencies and the center that we use for countering terrorism to check and ensure that a refugee is not admitted that might cause us harm,” he said shortly after the Paris terror attack last November prompted fresh concerns about terrorist groups using refugee programs to infiltrate operatives into the West.

The administration says the process takes an average of 18-24 months, although an accelerated effort launched last spring aimed to reduce that to around three months in order to meet the president’s 10,000 target.

Last October FBI Director James Comey raised questions about the difficulties involved in checking backgrounds of refugee status applicants from Syria, telling a House Homeland Security Committee hearing “we can only query against that which we have collected.”

“If someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interests reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home but we’re not going to – there’ll be nothing to show up, because we have no record of that person,” Comey said. “You can only query what you’ve collected.”

JULIAN ASSANGE Slams “Corrupt” Hillary Clinton in First Interview Following Wikileaks DNC Email Release (VIDEO)

Gateway Pundit
July 25, 2016

WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange joined Democracy Now on Monday from London after the release of nearly 20,000 DNC emails revealing how the Democratic Party favored Hillary Clinton and worked behind the scenes to discredit and defeat Bernie Sanders.

On Sunday Democrat Party Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned after the Wikileaks DNC document dump.

Assange told Democracy Now that it’s quite remarkable what happened in the last few days. He slammed ‘corrupt’ Hillary Clinton:

JULIAN ASSANGE: JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, I mean, that’s interesting. We have seen that with a lot of other publications. I guess there’s a question: What does that mean for the U.S. Democratic Party? It is important for there to be examples of accountability. The resignation was an example of that. Now, of course, Hillary Clinton has tried to immediately produce a counter-example by putting out a statement, within hours, saying that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a great friend, and she’s incorporating her into her campaign, she’s going to be pushing for her re-election to the Congress.
So that’s a very interesting signaling by Hillary Clinton that if you act in a corrupt way that benefits Hillary Clinton, you will be taken care of. Why does she need to put that out? Certainly, it’s not a signal that helps with the public at all. It’s not a signal that helps with unity at the DNC, at the convention. It’s a signal to Hillary Clinton partisans to keep on going on, you’ll be taken care of. But it’s a very destructive signal for a future presidency, because it’s—effectively, it’s expanding the Overton window of corruption. It doesn’t really matter what you do, how you behave; as long as that is going to benefit Hillary Clinton, you’ll be protected.

The math on income inequality: Average annual income of the top 1% is $1,153,293 while that of the bottom 99% is $45,567.

Part of the challenge with distorted income distributions is that it hollows out the middle class.  The middle class in the United States is now a minority.  We have more people making higher incomes and more people making way less and this group is growing much faster.  Our economy has taken a bimodal distribution with extremes on both sides.  We have a record number of people onfood stamps but also a record number of higher income households.  The only problem is that the low range of the ladder is growing much faster than that at the top.  For every person that makes it into the upper income brackets you have three that fall out of the middle class and into the low income wage trap.  Part of the political anger we are seeing in the US and other parts of Europe is that the elites are simply ignoring the needs of the masses.  In many cases this purposeful ignorance is because their wealth is built on keeping many stuck on a perpetual hamster wheel where productivity gains only go to a small section of society.

The math on income inequality

There was a time when extreme wealth inequality led to eras like the Gilded Age.  While we don’t have the soup lines of the Great Depression, we have other challenges that accompany mass income inequality including high housing costs, rising college tuition, and being one medical emergency away from bankruptcy.  These are all challenges that come when you have extreme wealth inequality.

First, how unbalanced are we?

Source:  EPI

The current level of inequality rivals that of the years leading up to the Great Depression.  It is of course no coincidence that during the glory days of the US middle class that income inequality was less extreme meaning the middle class actually had a larger share of total income earned.  That is no longer the case.

It is interesting to hear the media continually harp on the notion that $250,000 a year is somehow middle class.  This is a lie.  The median US household income is around $52,000.  Someone making $250,000 a year puts them in the top 2 to 5 percent of all income earners.  In fact, let us look at the figures even more closely:

To be in the top 1% you need to make $389,436.  The average annual income of the top 1% is $1,153,293 while the average income of those in the bottom 99% is $45,567. 

These are interesting figures.  It also highlights how distorted the media’s view is on income since most in large TV networks essentially represent the connected class.  They live in an echo chamber bubble.

There is obviously going to be income inequality in any market system.  That is understood.  But some of this gap is being brought on by a modern day plutocracy that is simply rigging the system in their benefit.  One obvious way is the housing market.  Homeownership, the traditional means of most families building their wealth is now becoming harder to do so because many big banks and investors have crowded out regular families who are unable to afford inflated prices.  Each year this trend goes on is a year where average families are not building equity.  This is also not “free market” based since the bailouts largely have helped big banks and investors while working class families have seen a shrinking idle class.  A decade later, the facts are clearly showing the end result.

This is where the inequality argument takes a path down cognitive dissonance.  Many of the banks that had massive handouts like to believe they are rugged free market individualist that can stand on their own two feet yet they are the biggest recipients of political and corporate welfare.  While receiving large sums of money, they rail against the poor for not doing enough or for not working hard enough.  As if taking in zero percent interest loans and finding something to buy with a slightly higher yield is difficult.  Building a computing OS is hard.  Finding new treatments for cancer is hard.  Trying to make an electric car with style is hard.  Making rockets is hard.  Taking handouts from the government at zero percent and raiding single family homes in the market and collecting rents is not hard.

Obama's Half Brother Says would vote for Trump

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!! News
July 24, 2016

No doubt, any reasonable person, black or white will vote Trump. Not because Trump has solutions to the problems of the world, but because he has the desire and the passion to try solving them.

But if you are still having doubts about which candidate to cast your vote for in November, just take the advice of Barack Obama’s brother.

From New York Post:

President Obama’s Kenyan half-brother wants to make America great again — so he’s voting for Donald Trump.

“I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart,” Malik Obama told The Post from his home in the rural village of Kogelo. “Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him.”

Obama, 58, a longtime Democrat, said his “deep disappointment” in his brother Barack’s administration has led him to recently switch allegiance to “the party of Lincoln.”

The last straw, he said, came earlier this month when FBI Director James Comey recommended not prosecuting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her use of a private e-mail servers while secretary of state.

“She should have known better as the custodian of classified information,” said Obama.

He’s also annoyed that Clinton and President Obama killed Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy, whom he called one of his best friends.

…

Obama plans to trek back to the US to vote for Trump in November. Obama used to live in Maryland, where he worked for many years as an accountant and is registered to vote there, public records show.

…

Until then, Obama wears his new GOP colors proudly; He even has a “Make America Great Again” hat.

“Mr. Trump is providing something new and something fresh,” he said.

 Trump weighed in on the news on Twitter Sunday morning.

Priceless.

Obama is such a failure that even his brother doesn’t support him and is voting Trump! That’s a sad day for this administration.

If you need proof Democrats’ policies are failing and detrimental, just look around.

Every ghetto in the country is controlled lock, stock, and barrel by liberal Democrats. Yet the politicians in those neighborhoods are filthy rich. Look at Hillary–a  career public servant, yet has hundreds of millions.

Democrats shamelessly exploit the tragedies. In the wake of the Dallas police slaughter, Hillary Clinton has called for more gun control and berated whites by proclaiming that white folk need to hear blacks’ “legitimate cries.”

If you’re trying to understand how Democrats believe Hillary would make a good president, please consider the fact that they also believe Bruce Jenner is a woman.

Let’s face it: Barack will probably vote Trump too. Nobody wants Clinton in office.

Trump: "Americanism, Not Globalism, Will Be Our Credo”

The New American
July 24, 2016

“Friends, delegates and fellow Americans:
I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.” Thus Donald J. Trump greeted the delegates of the Republican National Convention — and his worldwide television audience — Thursday night, at the finale of the four-day political marathon in Cleveland, Ohio. His address, reportedly the longest convention acceptance speech in four decades (for a Republican or Democratic candidate), did not aim at presenting a softer, more “nuanced,” and “presidential” persona, as many analysts had predicted and/or recommended. The message of “The Donald” did not waiver from the core issues of his “Make America Great Again” campaign theme: out-of-control illegal immigration, destructive trade deals, a calamitous foreign policy, an imploding economy, historic unemployment, skyrocketing violent crime, an escalating terrorist threat, and rampant political corruption. 

All of these are the result, Trump averred, of a “rigged system,” a dysfunctional and broken system. And, he said: “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.” 

Trump opened his speech on a positive note, pointing out that his campaign has brought a flood of both new and old voters into the electoral process. “Who would have believed,” he asked, “that when we started this journey on June 16th of last year we — and I say ‘we’ because we are a team — would have received almost 14 million votes, the most in the history of the Republican Party, and that the Republican Party would get 60 percent more votes than it received four years ago?”

“The Democrats, on the other hand, received almost 20 percent fewer votes than they got four years ago,” Trump noted, and he pledged: “Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace. We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.”

The world looks on in horror as Hillary Clinton heads to Philadelphia to be nominated as the Democratic Party’s candidate for the presidency.

Yet still the leading lights of the so-called “progressive” movement argue that it is the left’s duty to vote for this neocon warmonger.

But the consequences of this strategy may well lead directly to nuclear war. This is the GRTV Backgrounder on globalresearch.ca

The nuclear option is on the table.  Hillary Clinton constitutes an existential threat against all of humanity.

Her candidacy must be opposed.
