Turkey Stakes Claim In America With $100 Million Mega-Mosque!
Published on Jul 3, 2014
The government of Turkey is building a 15-acre, $100 million mega-mosque in Lanham, Maryland. Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan visited the site on May 15 as part of his official visit to the U.S.. The state of Maryland was officially represented at the event by its Secretary of State John McDonough. http://www.clarionproject.org/analysi...

TURKEY BUILDS 9,000 MOSQUES, BANS ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN LITURGY
“What secular, democratic republic builds thousands of mosques with state funds — taxpayer money — while closing the Halki Seminary of the Eastern Orthodox Church and confiscating countless Christian properties?”
Erdogan’s intentions are obvious. But apparently because the victims are Christian, the global “human rights community” takes little, if any, notice.
“Turkey Builds 9,000 Mosques, Bans Orthodox Christian Liturgy,” by Robert Jones, PJ Media, October 6, 2016 (thanks to David):
A total of 8,985 mosques were built between 2005 and 2015 by the Turkish government over the last decade in Turkey, according to statistics released by Turkey’s Religious Affairs Directorate (Diyanet).
The Central Anatolian province of Konya contained the highest number of mosques, Dogan News Agency reported on Sept. 16. Ankara, the southern province of Antalya, the Black Sea provinces of Ordu and Trabzon, and the southeastern province of Diyarbakır were among the other provinces with over 2,000 mosques.
While the Turkish government has built so many mosques across the country with state funds, it has banned Orthodox Christian liturgy in the Sumela Monastery, a historic site in Trabzon.
Sumela Monastery, located in the district of Macka — or Matsuka in Greek — in Trabzon province is one of the oldest monasteries in the Christian world. According to records, it was built by two Athenian monks, St. Barnabas and his nephew St. Sophronios, and was inaugurated by the bishop of Trabzon in 386 A.D.
The province of Trabzon, located in the ancient region of Pontos, the northeast portion of Anatolia adjacent to the Black Sea, also has a long Greek and Christian history. The word “Pontos” means “sea” in Greek.
“Trabzon was settled by Greeks probably by the 7th century BC,” writes researcher Sam Topalidis for the website Pontos World. “Trabzon was the ancient capital of the Greek speaking Komnenos Byzantine Kingdom (1204–1461). It survived until 1461, eight years after the fall of Byzantine Constantinople when both localities fell to the Ottoman Turks.”
After the city’s invasion by the Ottoman Turks, the local demographic began to change; but for centuries, Christians were the majority in the city.
According to Topalidis, Trabzon’s Muslim population increased dramatically under the Ottoman rule due to:
Muslims moving into the city (Most of the Trabzon’s Muslims were involuntary immigrants). Deportations of Christians out of the city, probably to Istanbul. Christians converting to Islam, probably for fear of deportation
“However, the most important reason for the conversions was probably due to the higher taxes paid by Christians (compared to Muslims), a strong economic incentive for the poorest Christians,” writes Topalidis.
The tax he refers to is the “jizya tax” — money paid by Christians and Jews in order to be allowed to survive and to keep practicing their religion, according to Islamic law.
Prior to the Pontian (or Pontic) Greek genocide that started in 1914, at least 43% of Trabzon’s population was still Christian: Greeks, Armenians, and a small minority of Catholics.
During the 1914-1923 Pontian Greek Genocide by the Muslim Turks, “out of approximately 700,000 Pontian Greeks who lived in Turkey at the beginning of World War I, as many as 350,000 were killed, and almost all the rest had been uprooted during the subsequent forced population exchange between Greece and Turkey. This was the end of one of the most ancient Greek civilizations in Asia Minor.”
Even after 102 years, Turkey still denies the Pontian Greek genocide.
The Sumela Monastery in the city was also closed for prayers until 2010 when, for the first time since the founding of the Turkish republic in 1923, Orthodox Christians were allowed by the Turkish government to celebrate mass on August 15.
Bartholomew I, the current archbishop of Constantinople and ecumenical patriarch, led the service, which was held in honor of the Assumption of Mary, a Christian sacred day. Orthodox bishops from Australia, Ukraine, the United States, Greece, and Georgia traveled to Sumela to participate in the mass, according to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet.
But this year, the Turkish authorities suddenly banned Christian liturgy for the Feast of the Assumption in the monastery.
The authorities notified the Ecumenical Patriarchate that the license for the yearly mass at Sumela Monastery has been revoked for this August.
According to the site Greek Reporter:
The ban has caused great disappointment to thousands of Pontian people worldwide, and people from Greece who had planned to travel to the region these days to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption.
Sources within the Patriarchate of Constantinople, who prefer to remain anonymous, and many Pontic Greeks believe that the construction’s “static problems” invoked is a pretext and they fear that Christian mass will never be allowed in the historic monastery again.
This arbitrary ban seems to be yet another demonstration of the “unofficial” second-class status of Christians in Turkey.
That the Greek Orthodox need special permission to celebrate divine services in any of their churches in what is now Turkey is a dark reminder of the Islamic oppression of Eastern Christians from the mid-7th Century to today, and for the Greeks, especially from the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in 1453 through the defeat of the Ottoman Empire by the Western Powers during World War I.
Today, Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians are a tiny, dwindling minority in Turkey — around 2,500 people — and the community routinely faces discrimination.
“Christians are certainly seen as second-class citizens,” Walter Flick, a religious expert with the International Society for Human Rights in Germany, told the publication DW. “A real citizen is Muslim, and those who aren’t Muslim are seen as suspicious.Christians aren’t equal. They don’t have full rights.”
Moreover, the Turkish government does not recognize the title “the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople,” which represents 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide.
“He has not been able to wield this title as he should,” said Flick. “And this is a historic title that’s been around since the 6th century. He isn’t referred to as ‘Ecumenical Patriarch’ within Turkey. The name is accepted overseas, but in Turkey he can’t use that title, which was afforded by the European Convention on Human Rights.”
Another indication of Turkey’s discrimination against its Greek-speaking Orthodox citizens is the situation of the Halki seminary in Istanbul, or the Theological School of Halki, the main school of theology of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. It was closed by the Turkish state in 1971 and it has not been reopened.
The Turkish state has also confiscated much real estate belonging to Greek Orthodox Christians.
“Many properties have been lost over the past few decades, for example office buildings, orphanages and other institutions,” added Flick.
The Turkish Constitution, however, asserts that Turkey is “a secular and democratic republic that derives its sovereignty from the people.” And Turkish state authorities, for decades, boasted of “being the only truly secular country” in the Muslim world.
Today, many Turkish secularists are crying over what they think is the “defeat of Turkish secularism at the hands of the current Islamic government.”
What secular, democratic republic builds thousands of mosques with state funds — taxpayer money — while closing the Halki Seminary of the Eastern Orthodox Church and confiscating countless Christian properties?…
Russia "Gently Reminds" US Its Missiles Are Ready To Fire
Published on Oct 7, 2016

October Surprise WWIII Begins To Boil
Published on Oct 7, 2016
All eyes are on Syria as the globalists, fearing a populist uprising, are pushing the narrative of World War 3 on humanity. Mounting tensions with possible Nuclear outcomes are world wide. We are sliding into a new Cold War with Russia as Russia ships new anti missile systems into Syria. This after Russia held a Nuclear War exercise of 40 million Russians, mobilizing 200,000 emergency services and soldiers and 50,000 pieces of equipment.
Meanwhile nuclear tensions have risen between Pakistan and India after a jihadi attack on an Indian Army base left 19 soldiers dead. India then entered Pakistan and surgically struck terrorist camps in Kashmir.
Breitbart reports ” It is becoming increasingly clear that something serious has changed in relations between Pakistan and India, as a result of repeated acts of violence in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir. It is clear that each country, in a generational Crisis era, is on a trend line to become increasing nationalistic and belligerent towards the other, and it is also clear that these trend lines will continue on the same path until they result in war. From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, it is not a question of “if”, but of “when,” and with the rapid rise in nationalism on both sides, “when” may not be too far off.
S400 Missile Defense Madness, Syria, India, Turkey, Israel, Russia
Published on Dec 30, 2015
Let's have a look at Missile Defense systems in place (s300, s400, patriots, anti air/anti ballistic nuclear missile defense systems), specifically in Syria, India, Turkey, and Israel. Countries are preparing for war... allies/NATO sides are evident, India and turkey both looking to purchase s400 Russian missile defense systems. Nato/US Missile Defense system leaks and confusion. news, update, map,
Several other variants of the initial S-300P system are said to be in Algeria, Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Ukraine, Vietnam, and Egypt. Most of these are outdated systems tho, (initial S-300p version) and in some cases wouldn't signify direct ties to Russia. They just happen to be cheaper then NATO counterpart technologies, and in most cases are obsolete.
Turkey abandons decision to purchase Chinese missile defense system (yet to be finalized, reported after Russian plane shot down) http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turk...
“It is not easy to determine who are the more criminal. They who would make their way to places of power and trust by indirect means, or they who have so little concern for the welfare of their country as to harken to them. No civil rulers are to be obeyed when they enjoin things that are inconsistent with the commands of God: All such disobedience is lawful and glorious.” — Jonathan Mayew (1720-1766) Preacher in The First Great Spiritual Awakening
Prior to Elaine Quijano’s introduction of the Vice Presidential candidates, two announcers on CBS, John Dickerson and Major Garrett, made the statement, “The Trump campaign is hoping Mike Pence can make up for Trump’s loss in the first debate.” I knew right then that I wouldn’t be liking this debate any better than the Lester Holt debate.
Trump did not lose the first debate according to all the polls. He won it. The only thing he needs to do is to not respond to Hillary’s lies. Instead, he should laugh, which will be degrading to her, and say, “Hillary, you just can’t tell the truth, can you!?”
Just Who is Tim Kaine looking out his bus window?
Senator Kaine graduated from Harvard Law School in 1983. He was previously the Governor of Virginia and is now the junior Senator from that same state. Makes one wonder what is wrong with the voters of Virginia, doesn’t it!
Let’s be blunt. He’s another socialist just like his running mate, Hillary Rodham Clinton. The NYTs referenced him as a “moderate” in order to pick up swing states, but Kaine is no moderate…he’s another Democratic socialist on his way to becoming a hardcore communist.
Many of my friends emailed me to say they were turning the debate off; they couldn’t stand listening to Kaine’s constant interruptions. He’s rude, arrogant, petulant and a liar. The twitter crowd was saying Kaine was unhinged and seemed, “out of control.”
Sean Hannity actually put together a montage of the many interruptions by Kaine.
The man is just outright rude to the bone. Limbaugh commented on it, and said it was beneath the American public to even view this charade. Kaine obviously can’t control himself and never learned common decency or manners. His uncivil discourse became vulgar and tasteless.
Kaine’s entire script was an attack against Trump, hoping that Pence could not defend him. It failed miserably, and Pence did a beautiful job of making Kaine look like a belligerent fool. Pence won, hands down!
Policies and Beliefs
• Kaine strongly favors government enforced affirmative action for women and non-whites. • The Senator favors a very progressive income tax. Can you say communism? • Tim Kaine is staunchly pro-amnesty for illegal aliens and favors a “pathway to citizenship. • He believes in the nationalization of corporations and banks. Can you say fascism? • Like Hillary, He believes that Voter ID laws make it unnecessarily difficult for people to vote in political elections. (That’s illegals he’s talking about.) • He believes in the separation-of-church-and-state and that it makes school prayer, government funding for religious organizations, and the posting of the Ten Commandments in public places impermissible.
Kaine Flip Flops
Since Senator Kaine has become Hillary’s choice for VP, he has flip flopped on a number of issues. He said during the debate to “fact-check,” and many reliable sources did exactly that!
• When he ran for Governor of Virginia he told the people he opposed gay marriage. So did Hillary at one time. Now they both endorse it. • When Kaine ran for Lt. Governor of Virginia, he campaigned on being a supporter of the second amendment, and that he would not propose new gun laws. However, as Senator, he has signed every anti-gun law that has come across his desk. • Kaine previously was against tax payer funded abortion. Now that he’s running as VP, he is for removing all state restrictions on abortion. • TPP was at the top of Kaine’s list to support, that is until he was chosen as Hillary’s running mate. Like Hillary, he shifted for the campaign. • In previous years, Kaine was for off-shore drilling, but now has jumped to the other side to match Hillary.
Embracing Radical Islam
Senator Kaine has a long history of embracing radical Islam. He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission, spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist suspect, and has received many donations from well-known Islamist groups. In exchange for these campaign contributions, he appointed a radical jihadi to the Virginia Immigration Commission.
In 2007, Kaine, as Governor of Virginia, chose Muslim American Society (MAS) President, Esam Omeish, to the state’s Immigration Commission. Even a Muslim organization against Islamism criticized the appointment and reckless lack of vetting.
Esam Omeish runs a group described by Federal prosecutors in a 2008 court filing as “the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” Omeish is the V.P. of a radical mosque that had the al-Qaeda operative Anwar Al-Awlaki as its imam and two of the 9/11 hijackers, and Nidal Hasan, the perpetrator of the Fort Hood shooting, in the congregation. Omeish is still a board member, even as he serves on the Virginia Immigration Commission. A Chicago Tribune investigation confirmed this in 2004.
It is well known that MAS is not at all moderate. Convicted terrorist, Abdurrahman Alamoudi, has stated that everyone knows MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood. Obviously, Kaine chose to ignore this. The Clarion Society has a fully documented profile on MAS.
According to Omeish’s website, he was also President of the National Muslim Students Association and served for two years on the national board of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which the Justice Department also labeled as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-financing trial.
Back in late 2011, Kaine spoke at a “Candidates Night” dinner organized by the New Dominion PAC that presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for Jamal Barzinji, a described “founding father of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood,” according to the Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch. FBI’s radar in 1987-1988 when an informant inside the Brotherhood identified Barzinji and his associated groups as being part of a network of Brotherhood fronts to “institute the Islamic Revolution in the United States.”
Clinton VP Pick Tim Kaine’s Islamic Ties, by Breitbart, stated, In 2003, U.S. Customs Service Senior Special Agent David Kane said in a sworn affidavit that Barzinji and the network of entities he led were investigated because he “is not only closed associated with PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad)…but also with Hamas.” Counter-terrorism reporter Patrick Poole broke the story that Barzinji was nearly prosecutedbut the Obama Justice Department dropped plans for indictment.
Like Hillary, Tim Kaine’s affection for jihadists is a quid pro quo: he gives them cover and appointments to positions of power, and they give him money. The Barzinji-tied New Dominion PAC donated $43,050 to Kaine’s gubernatorial campaign. The PAC has very strong ties to the Democratic Party in Virginia, with almost $257,000 in donations. This likely explains why Barzinji’s grandson served in Governor McAuliffe's administration and then became the Obama Administration's liaison to the Muslim-American community.
The Senator also agrees with Hillary Clinton on bringing in 550% more refugees. He exemplifies the Democratic Socialist Party’s willingness to risk the security of the American people by admitting large numbers of Islamist “refugees” from Syria. He also opposed a bill passed by the House of Representatives that would have required more careful vetting of Syrians and Iraqis before they can be admitted to the United States as “refugees.” [Link]
Hillary’s choice of Tim Kaine shows her intention to continue the policies of Obama’s administration promoting Muslim Brotherhood and Iran and betraying Israel. [Link] Hillary obviously has little regard for the security of American citizens. She has chosen a man who is willing to cozy up to well-known terror-promoters here in America in exchange for cash.
Chaplains Fired for Praying in Jesus’ Name
In December of 2008, Governor Kaine had to defend why his administration forced the sudden resignation of five Virginia State Police Chaplains because they prayed publicly "in Jesus' name." Police Superintendent Col. W. Steven Flaherty single-handedly created, and then enforced, a strict "non-sectarian" prayer policy at all public gatherings, censoring and excluding Christian prayers, then accepted the resignation of five chaplains who refused to deny Jesus or violate their conscience by watering down their prayers.
House Republican Leader Morgan Griffith and Delegate Charles W. Carrico, (R-Grayson) both issued public statements defending the chaplains, and questioning Governor Kaine's role in terminating the chaplains. They vowed to introduce legislation protecting police chaplains' right to pray according to their own conscience.
Defending Flaherty's persecution of Christian Chaplains, Governor Kaine pretended he himself was being persecuted, saying through his spokesman: "It is disappointing that Del Griffith would make such a political attack on Gov. Kaine about his faith." (He is a Catholic.)
So, Virginia’s Governor Kaine denied first amendment rights to police chaplains because they prayed publicly in Jesus’ name. Had these officers been Muslims, I doubt they would have been forced to resign.
The Iran Deal
The Senator was all for giving away billions of taxpayer dollars to Iran and supporting the disastrous nuclear deal.
He fawningly followed the direction of President Obama and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid in supporting a filibuster to block the Senate majority opposed to the deal from conducting an up-or-down vote on Obama’s appeasement pact.
Bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress opposed the deal. Senator Kaine himself admitted to having reservations in light of Iran’s past record of cheating and state sponsorship of terrorism. Yet he gave the rabid Iranian regime the benefit of the doubt.
Kaine declared himself a “strong supporter” of the final agreement, which would allow the Islamist regime in Tehran to enrich uranium, build advanced centrifuges, purchase ballistic missiles, fund terrorism, and be guaranteed of having a near-zero breakout time to the development of a nuclear bomb approximately a decade down the road.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had accepted an invitation to address a joint session of Congress regarding his concerns about the negotiations leading to the final Iran deal. Lilly-livered Muslim loving Kaine joined seven other Senate Democrats in boycotting the Prime Minister’s speech. Tim Kaine is among the top anti-Israel senators. He is the top recipient of PAC funds from George Soros's anti-Israel group, J Street.
The Senator always claimed he was a strongly pro-Israel Democrat, but if he was, he would not have been one of only a dozen senators who refused to sign a letter to Obama warning of legislated legal constraints on funding the Palestinian Arab authority after it struck an alliance with Hamas. [Link]
Conclusion
Tim Kaine and Hillary Clinton are a match made in Communist/Fascist hell. We need to remember the atrocity that occurred in Benghazi, and Hillary’s words, “At this point, what difference does it make?” It makes a lot of difference Hillary; you cannot be trusted to come to the aid of our military or our ambassadors.
We simply cannot afford another eight years of the Alinsky plan for destruction written about in Hillary’s senior thesis at Wellesley. Community organizer, Obama, has brought us to the very edge of total annihilation. Hillary, and her closely matched partner, Tim Kaine, will absolutely eliminate whatever vestiges of freedom were left to Americans.
Benghazi is the worst of it, but there’s a mountain of scandals from both Clintons, not to mention the “coincidence” of so many people around them mysteriously dying.
Should these two progressive socialists take our White House, the nation will be flooded with illegal aliens from Mexico and refugees from the middle east, fleeing the destabilization and conflict created by Secretary Clinton. They will not only add to the huge debt given to us by the last several presidents, and Obama in particular, but a constitutional conservative could never be elected to our White House again.
This election is extremely important…because it is the tilting point of no return. Trump isn’t perfect, but none of God’s chosen heroes of the Bible were either. Pray for our nation, pray for Mr. Trump and his family, and pray that Mr. Trump wins the White House. Our futures, and our descendants’ futures depend upon it.
