Republican Senators Bill Cassidy (LA), David Perdue (GA), Jim Inhofe (OK), Mike Lee (Utah), Ted Cruz (TX) and Thom Tillis (NC)  sent a letter to Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson asking for an investigation into the funneling of U. S. taxpayer dollars by Barack Obama’s State Department to Communist organizations connected to George Soros that would push a globalist agenda, sway elections and the “media environment” of foreign nations, i.e., Macedonia, Albania, Latin America, and Africa.

Washington Free Beacon by Adam Kredo

A group of leading senators is calling on newly installed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to immediately launch an investigation into efforts by the Obama administration to sway foreign elections by sending taxpayer funds to “extreme and sometimes violent political activists” that promote leftist causes, according to a copy of the letter….

Political leaders from a range of nations spent months informing the lawmakers about these activities.

“Over the past few months, elected officials and political leaders of foreign nations have been coming to me with disappointing news and reports of U.S. activity in their respective countries,” Lee said in a statement. “This includes reports of diplomats playing political favorites, USAID funds supporting extreme and sometimes violent political activists, and the U.S. government working to marginalize the moderates and conservatives in leadership roles.”

“This sort of political favoritism from our missions around the world is unacceptable and endangers our bilateral relationships,” he said[…]

Barack Obama dangled the Marxism and taxpayer dollars as a carrot over the heads of nations, the end game of which is destabilization.

See Washington Times article, Soros working his mischief again in Macedonia power fight:

…The latest sovereign country where the U.S. ambassador has overstepped his bounds to assist the left’s agenda is Macedonia, where conservatives are in a death match against what is now called the “Soros Army” in the struggle to put together a new government. The results of a win by allies of Mr. Soros, the billionaire patron of leftist causes in the U.S. and around the world, would be an influx of unchecked Islamic immigration, along with all of the other “progressive” policies of the Dark Emperor Soros and his Sith Lord, Barack Obama….

As Obama Plots Israel’s Demise, Netanyahu Seeks Alliance w/Trump, Congress

After Barack Obama collaborated last week with fellow anti-Semites in the United Nations on the 14-0 vote of anti-Israeli Resolution 2334, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister does not intend to wait for the next shoe to drop.

Expecting more acts of trickery from the Muslim-in-chief and his pit of rattlesnakes at the UN before Obama leaves office in 20 days, the Israeli prime minister is seeking help from the incoming administration and the 115^th Congress to thwart future attacks by Obama to further pro-Islamic mandates through the UN Security Council that while harmful to Israel would fortify a Palestinian state.

According to the Times of Israel:

His aim is for the Trump team to make plain that his administration will “economically hurt” those countries that voted against Israel in the UN and that do so in the future.

Netanyahu’s fear is that Secretary of State John Kerry will set out principles or parameters for a Palestinian state in a speech that he has said he will deliver in the next few days on his Middle East vision. The prime minister fears that, in its final days, the Obama administration will seek to have a resolution enshrining those parameters adopted by the UN Security Council, the report said….

Continue Reading

Speaking of the lame duck, Secretary of State, John Kerry has moved up the date of expected his intended speech on a Palestinian State to Wednesday morning no doubt a move intended to thwart efforts by the incoming Trump administration to act on Israel’s behalf while at the same time pushing back against Netanyahu.

Per Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and as is being reported by the Obama-sanctioned propaganda machine, Kerry “will deliver a speech Wednesday on the Obama administration’s vision for Middle East peace.”

Since Progressives ALWAYS intend to act on the opposite of whatever comes out of their mouths [and as] proven by eight years of Obama’s lies, “vision for Middle East peace” is double speak for war against the state of Israel.

In defiance of Obama’s betrayal and the resolution banning Israel from building settlements in lands claimed by the Palestinians, Israel undaunted has no plans to stop building settlements in East Jerusalem.

The only person who has visited the White House over the past eight years that Obama has treated worse than Prime Minister Netanyahu is the Dalai Lama who at the end of his visit was directed toward the rear exit of the White House where the Dalai Lama walked past mounds of trash.

There is much going on behind the scenes as Obama and minions continue to deny their role in the orchestration and vote of Resolution 2334 but we know better and yes, Israel knows better.  The Israeli government says that it has proof that the U. S. government lobbied behind the scenes for the passage of the anti-Israeli-UN resolution, proof of which the Obama administration will not be made privy.  Instead, Netanyahu will share said proof with president-elect Trump’s transition team.

As reported by Eli Lake of Hamodia,

…He has not made this public, but Israeli officials tell me it is based in part on what many Arab envoys told Israeli diplomats in private.

We also know, because it has been publicly reported, that Secretary of State John Kerry spoke about this resolution last month with his counterpart in New Zealand, whose envoy introduced the resolution. As Liel Liebowitz pointed out this week in Tablet, this is particularly rich given New Zealand’s own unsavory history of driving natives off of their land….

Then as mentioned above, there is the government sanctioned propaganda machine spinning the betrayal of Israel as a peace effort in the Middle East.  (You can’t make this stuff up.)

Case in point, The Guardian’s article entitled, “White House races to save Middle East peace process before Trump takes office.” Starting with the title, the article is deceptive.

John Kerry to underline outgoing president’s support of two-state solution with speech setting out US vision of Israel-Palestine agreement…

“Israel-Palestine agreement?”  What agreement?  Both parties must concur for there to be an agreement.

John Kerry is due to lay out a US framework for an Palestinian-Israeli agreement as the Obama administration and its international allies scramble to protect what is left of the peace process before Donald Trump takes office….

There is no “peace process” either but there is the insinuation, correction “fake news” that once in office president-elect Trump will turn on its head the “peace process” (that does not exist) put into place by Barack Obama.

More lies, illusions and maneuverings behind the scenes by the UK, one of the parties, who likely unbeknownst to Israel acted as proxy for the US formulating the text of Resolution 2334 “so it would meet the American threshold and so it could be passed without a veto,’ one of the Western diplomats said” to assure its passage (see:  Feverish Behind-the-Scenes Maneuvering Before U.N. Vote).

John Kerry, Susan Rice, Samantha Power and Barack Obama will spend the next few weeks doing everything to further deteriorate the relationship between Israel and the world.

This past Monday, Avigdor Lieberman, Israeli Prime Minister urged French Jews to leave France in protest of next month’s conference in which representatives from 70 nations will converge upon France for a conference slated to re-start Israeli-Palestinian “peace efforts.”

Lieberman who said that the conference (and I agree) is “a tribunal against the state of Israel,” is urging French Jews to move to Israel.

France 24

…’A conference whose whole point is to harm the security of Israel, its good name — a trial against Israel…It’s a Dreyfus trial in a modern version, what they’re preparing there in Paris for January 15, with one difference. Instead of one Jew being on trial, it will be the entire Jewish people and the state of Israel….’

Continue Reading

If you can believe it, France has dubbed the event a Middle East Peace Conference and John Kerry who five days after the conference will be out of a job will be in attendance.

Why the conference? Why January 15^th? Why can’t it wait until after the presidential inauguration and why is John Kerry attending?

Something stinks.

[One more thing, how on earth is France holding a Middle East Peace Conference when their citizens are being raped, maimed, mutilated and slaughtered by Muslim invaders from the middle east?  How does THAT work?]

Kerry: Air Conditioners, Refrigerators Bigger Threat than ISIS

So while John Kerry did not say it outright, he did imply Friday afternoon at a Climate Change summit in Vienna that air conditioning and refrigerators are as big a threat as the Islamic State.

Washington Examiner

Secretary of State John Kerry said in Vienna on Friday that air conditioners and refrigerators are as big of a threat to life as the threat of terrorism posed by groups like the Islamic State.

Secretary of State John Kerry said in Vienna on Friday that air conditioners and refrigerators are as big of a threat to life as the threat of terrorism posed by groups like the Islamic State.

Elitists now want to take our air conditioners and refrigerators OR lay the groundwork that would price these items financially out of range for the poor and middle class all under the guise of such actions being for the greater good.

Kerry said that most of the substances banned in the Montreal Protocol have increased the use of HFCs and claimed that the coolant was thousands of times more potent than CO2. He added that the increase of HFCs has lead to the trend of global climate change[…]

Elitists now want to take our air conditioners and refrigerators OR lay the groundwork that would price these items financially out of range for the poor and middle class all under the guise of such actions being for the greater good.

What would you rather have in your company on a mid-summer afternoon in 97 degree temps? An air conditioned environment with a refrigerator full of cold water, ice cubes and lemonade or the likes of Jihadi John hovering over you shouting “Allah u Akbar” on the verge of slitting your throat.

You can bet that Kerry uttered this stupidity in an air-conditioned room.

I was going to say to the elitists, “you first” but I find it more fitting to say “If you want to do away with air conditioners and refrigerators, trash yours and leave mine alone because I’m not buying the spin, EVER!”

Ban AC for DC by Glenn Reynolds, USA Today

If our rulers think global warming is a crisis, let them be a good example for the rest of us.

Everyone talks about global warming, but nobody does anything about it. At least, the people who talk about saving the planet the most seem to have the biggest carbon footprint. But I have some ideas for fixing that.

In this, I’m inspired by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Tex., who noticed something peculiar recently. It seems that EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, who spends a lot of time telling Americans that they need to drive less, fly less, and in general reduce their consumption of fossil fuels, also flies home to see her family in Boston “almost every weekend“; the head of the Clean Air Division, Janet McCabe, does the same, but she heads to Indianapolis. In air mileage alone, the Daily Caller News Foundation estimates that McCarthy surpasses the carbon footprint of an ordinary American. Smith has introduced a bill that wouldn’t target the EPA honchos’ personal travel, though: It provides, simply, that “None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to pay the cost of any officer or employee of the Environmental Protection Agency for official travel by airplane.” […]

 

Obama’s awful silence on anti-Israeli violence

New York Daily News

…Palestinians have gained sympathy by accusing Israel of human rights violations for using force to subdue attackers.

Through it all, too much of the world — including the U.S. — has refused to stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel.

Hell, President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry have voiced hardly a peep of condemnation for the submachine-gun killing of 19-year-old American citizen Ezra Schwartz. The day Schwartz was murdered, Palestinians used knives, guns and cars to kill a total of five, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to issue a powerful challenge…

Barack Obama and his minstrels are the most anti-Israel and anti-Christian administration in my lifetime.

For one whose every move is about his legacy, history will frown down upon Obama in ways he never considered.

Maggie’s Notebook by Maggie

There are reports that Barack Obama pulled the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power and Secretary of State John Kerry from Netanyahu’s October 1, 2015 speech. The report says there was a “video conference” with Obama (or maybe not even that). Cowards run and hide. The disrespectful get their full measure of disrespect. (Speech transcript and video below)

While the Israeli Prime Minister said he is open to peace talks with Palestine with “no conditions,” but Mahmoud Abbas has declined, we know that Palestine will never accept Israel’s right to exist where it is, and Israel will never accept any agreement without that right.

 

Netanyahu elegantly speaks of the friendship between the U.S. and Israel, calls it “unshakeable,” laughable, but of course he must do this. At the same time he demolishes every argument for the Iranian nuclear deal, and frankly, make all of those (the US –– the UN) who ascribe to it look like the fools they/we are.

Don’t miss the U.N. sanctions against Israel and Syria. We need the U.N. out of the U.S. and the U.S. out of the U.N. All emphasis below is mine –– things in the speech I found particularly interesting and pertinent.

PULLOUT QUOTE:

In antiquity, we faced destruction from the ancient empires of Babylon and Rome. In the Middle Ages, we faced inquisition and expulsion, and In modern times, we faced pogroms and the Holocaust.

Yet the Jewish people persevered.

And now another regime has arisen, swearing to destroy Israel.

That regime would be wise to consider this: I stand here today representing Israel, a country 67 years young,
but the nation-state of a people nearly 4,000 years old. Yet the empires of Babylon and Rome are not represented in this hall of nations. Neither is the Thousand Year Reich.

Those seemingly invincible empires are long gone.

But Israel lives.

Begin transcript of Benjamin Netanyahu speech at United Nations, 10-1-15:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you greetings from Jerusalem. The city in which the Jewish People’s hopes and prayers for peace for all of humanity have echoed throughout the ages. Thirty-one years ago, as Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, I stood at this podium for the first time. I spoke that day against a resolution sponsored by Iran to expel Israel from the United Nations […]

One can be rich, powerful, have the world at his or her feet and still lack class as in the case of John Kerry, Samantha Power and Barack Obama.

Not to be overlooked is the rest of the American delegation who refused to applaud Benjamin Netanyahu after the Israeli Prime Minister’s remarks on the Iranian threat.

When BarackObama entered the White House on January 20, 2009, the United States was an ally of Israel and its people.

Next year when Obama makes it final speech before the United Nations General Assembly, it will be one for the books, correction Obama’s legacy as he will ordain that America is no longer an ally of Israel and that we are no longer a Christian nation.

State Dept Accused of ‘Disinformation’ Campaign; Falsely Claimed Top Israelis Officials Back Iran Deal

Tags

On July 22, 2015, Ishaan Tharoor of the Washington Post penned an article entitled, “How an Iran deal can be good for Israel, according to some Israelis who know what they’re talking about.”

Secretary of State, John Kerry wasted no time spiking the football and the following day Marie Harf, Kerry’s Senior Adviser for Strategic Communications shared the article on twitter with 39.6K followers. See below:

Is the Obama administration (and Washington Post) engaging in a disinformation campaign against Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu?

The Committee for Accuracy for Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) called out the Washington Post for the distorted headline, called for a correction of the headline and suggested that Harf mislead John Kerry and 40,000 of Harf’s twitter followers.

As pointed out by CAMERA, the Washington Post article was intended to convince Israelis that the Iran deal is a good deal through selective omissions, half-truths and fabrications allegedly asserting that four Israeli experts, i.e., Ex-Shin Bet head Ami Ayalon, former intelligence chief Efraim Halevy, former head of Israel’s Military Intelligence branch, Amos Yadlin and Meir Dagan, former Mossad chief) support the Iran nuclear deal.

A Washington Official, and the Washington Post, Fabricate Israeli Praise for the Iran Deal

….the article goes on to name four prominent Israeli security experts. The message for readers, then, is that even if Israel’s government and the largest opposition party are united against the deal — an inconvenient reality for the deal’s advocates in the American government and the media, who normally can find allies among Israeli politicians who are so often at each other’s throats — at least those in the know understand how truly good the agreement is.

Except it isn’t true. Let’s look at the security experts named in the piece:

Tharoor first mentions Ami Ayalon, a former head of the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, and links to a Daily Beast piece entitled ‘Ex-Intel Chief: Iran Deal Good for Israel.…

Read full article

The Washington Post eventually published a clarification and CAMERA going beyond the article’s headline, thoroughly reviewed the article, did their homework and followed up in an article with an overview of Ishaan Tharoor’s earlier articles on Israel dating back to the beginning of 2015 which they describe as “skewing toward odd if not anti-Israel interpretations.”

This hardly is the first time Tharoor has failed to note important background and report uncritically. In one of several articles sneering at Netanyahu—this one for the prime minister’s comparison of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria—the blogger uncritically shares tweets and qoutes from Matt Duss, Michael Cohen, and Peter Beinart, commentators whose routine criticisms of the Israeli government frequently omit essential facts, as CAMERA has documented (“Selective Memory Bedevils Washington Post Op-Ed Contributors,” April 6)…..

NOTE: At the time that the Washington Post article was falling apart and the State Department was outed, John Kerry stated “that if Congress rejects the nuclear deal with Iran, Israel might find itself more isolated and ‘more blamed by the international community’….I fear that what could happen is if Congress were to overturn it, our friends Israel could actually wind up being more isolated and more blamed…”

Oh, the Obama administration and their bullying endless and propaganda.
