FORT WORTH, Texas —Barbara Pierce Bush,
the daughter of former President George W. Bush, is scheduled to be the
keynote speaker at the annual luncheon for Planned Parenthood of Greater
Texas on Wednesday.
Last June, in an interview with the New York Times, Bush
called Planned Parenthood an “exceptional organization,” as she partners
with the abortion and contraceptive giant through her non-profit
organization Global Health Corps, which “mobilizes a global community of
young leaders to build the movement for health equity.”
“Every day I’m privileged to be part of a community bound by
the belief that health is a human right. Our ability to dream big, to
ignore the status quo, and to achieve results will ensure that by
working together every woman, man, and child has the opportunity to live
a healthy life,” Bush states of her mission on her Corps website.
The site lists
Planned Parenthood as being a partner in Uganda, as well as in Zambia.
Global Health Corps additionally partners with the Planned Parenthood
Federation of America for its work in the states.
Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards told BuzzFeed on Saturday that it is “really exciting” that Bush will be headlining the Fort Worth fundraiser. “It’s huge, and such a diverse crowd, a lot of elected
officials, a lot of Republican sort of first families,” she stated. “I
don’t know if she’s ever spoke at any [Planned Parenthood] event
before.” While Bush’s father has been known to identify as pro-life
with exceptions, her mother has stated on several occasions that she
believes abortion should remain legal—although she supports the idea of
reducing the number of terminations.
“[We should do] what we can to limit the number of
abortions, to try to reduce the number of abortions in a lot of ways,
and that is by talking about responsibility with girls and boys, by
teaching abstinence—having abstinence classes everywhere in schools and
in churches and in Sunday school,” Laura Bush told NBC’s “Today Show” in
2001.
“We are a nation of different generations and beliefs,
seeing issues through different eras and different eyes. While
cherishing life, I have always believed that abortion is a private
decision, and there, no one can walk in anyone else’s shoes,” she
also outlined in her 2010 memoir “Spoken From the Heart.” Barbara Bush told the New York Times last June in an
interview alongside Planned Parenthood’s president that her family
agrees on the issue of same-sex “marriage,” however. The outlet noted
that Bush had participated in a public service announcement for
“marriage equality.”
“[T]he narrative was that I was breaking with my father. But
I had talked to my dad about doing it, and he was very supportive,”
Bush said. “But my parents raised us to use our voices for issues we
care about, and I feel strongly about marriage equality.”
Bush attended an event last year supporting Hillary Clinton’s run for the presidency.
Tickets for the Planned Parenthood fundraiser start at $150.

Barbara Pierce Bush talks about what she does as the Co-Founder and President of Global Health Corps.

Barbara
Pierce Bush, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, will
headline a Planned Parenthood fundraiser next week in Texas, according
to a report from the Texas Tribune.
Bush is expected to be the keynote speaker at the Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas's annual Fort Worth fundraising luncheon. President
Bush pushed for anti-abortion policies during his time in the White
House, but his wife Laura Bush has supported legal abortion in the past.
The
announcement comes amid the continuing debate over federal funding for
Planned Parenthood, which provides a variety of reproductive health
services to women, including abortions. Barbara Bush is the CEO and
co-founder of Global Health Corps and called Planned Parenthood an
"exceptional organization" last year in an interview with the New York
Times. Bush also attended an event for Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton in Paris.

STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK DAD FURIOUS WHEN DAUGHTER GETS ANTI TRUMP ASSIGNMENT

dad questions his 11-year-old daughter's homework assignment when
politics is injected. Is this a case of school indoctrination or
parental overreaction? #Tucker
YES!
Staten Island teacher in Trump assignment is disciplined
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A veteran Staten Island teacher who
slipped an anti-President Trump question into her homework assignment
to her sixth-grade class has been disciplined by school authorities for
using "poor judgment" in the matter. Adria Zawatsky, a sixth-grade English teacher at Paulo
intermediate School (I.S. 75) in Huguenot since 2005, had a letter of
reprimand placed in her personnel file, according to officials. The
letter followed a sit-down with Paulo Principal Kenneth Zapata. "We have clear standards and regulations in place to ensure
school staff maintain neutrality with respect to their political beliefs
while in school," said Department of Education spokesman Michael
Aciman.
Vincent Ungro, an Annadale father of four, and an unabashed
Trump supporter, had complained to the Advance when his 11-year-old
daughter, a sixth-grader at Paulo, came home with a vocabulary
assignment containing sentences he believed were disparaging to the
president and inappropriate for the classroom.
The vocabulary sheet drawn up by Zawatsky, gave students
sentences and had them fill in the blanks, choosing from a list of words
that would complete the sentence and make sense.
"President Trump speaks in a very superior and _________
manner insulting many people. He needs to be more __________ so that the
American people respect and admire him," Zawatsky wrote.
The sentence was supposed to be completed using the words "haughty" and "humble".
A second question, that read "Barack Obama set a _________
when he became the first African American president," was supposed to be
completed with the word "precedent".
Ungro had his daughter turn in the assignment, minus the
three answers for the Trump and Obama sentences. Instead, Ungro circled
the sentences and penciled a hand-written note to the teacher on the
bottom of the sheet. "Please keep your political views to yourself and
do not try to influence my daughter," he wrote.
Zawatsky -- who took 15 points off the assignment for the three missing Trump and Obama words -- wrote back.
"Firstly, I do not believe I was expressing a political view
at all on my vocabulary sheet. My reference to President Trump was
about his personality traits rather than his ability as a president,"
Zawatsky responded.
Still, Ungro said the reference to Trump, followed by Obama,
was inappropriate, and he believed the teacher should have avoided the
political reference altogether, or at the least, offered an apology when
it was called to her attention.
"First, I don't think that putting your personal feelings
about politics into a sixth-grader's homework is proper. There were at
least a thousand sentences that she could have used besides disparaging
our president," Ungro told the Advance.
While Ungro, said he didn't want to see Zawatsky fired or suspended, "she should have known better," he said.
Zawatsky, who earns a six-figure salary, has been teaching since 1996.
Ungro said he's glad he called the assignment to the
attention of school officials, and believes he taught his daughter a
valuable life-lesson through the experience.
"I taught my daughter a valuable lesson," he said. "That she
should stay strong with her beliefs even if it's not the beliefs of her
peers. That you don't have to block traffic, wear silly costumes or
destroy other people's property to be heard. Through patience, persistence and the power of the pen, you can accomplish many things."

Two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton is urging members of
the Democrat party to “keep fighting” against Donald Trump’s Republican
agenda.
In a video uploaded Friday to The Democrats YouTube channel, a
revitalized-looking Clinton communicated the urgency of keeping the
liberal-progressive agenda moving forward, describing it as a “battle”
that must be won. “Hello Democrats, thank you all for coming
together to represent our party at its best. United, energized and ready
to wage and win the battles ahead,” the former secretary of state said.
Clinton said her failed 2016 campaign was “the most progressive
platform in history,” and took credit for her ideas “inspiring leaders
and activists across this country.”
She claimed votes for her were
“fueling grassroots energy and activism,” and took joy that “everywhere
people are marching, protesting, tweeting, speaking out and working for
an America that is hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted.”
“From the
Women’s March, to airports where communities are welcoming immigrants,
refugees and people of every faith, to town hall meetings where people
are speaking up for healthcare, the environment, good jobs and all the
other issues that deserve our passionate support,” Clinton said.
Clinton
commanded her distraught supporters to “stay engaged in the field and
online,” and encouraged fellow party members to fight back against
Trump.
“Let resistance, plus persistence equal progress for our
party and our country,” she concludes, clearly suggesting dems should
continue obstructing the president’s every move.
It’s not yet clear whether Hillary will make her third run for president in 2020.

In July 2012, Perez — then the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, was asked by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ):
Will you tell us here today that this administration’s
Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that
criminalizes speech against any religion?
Perez could have simply answered yes, and maybe even cited the First
Amendment. Instead, Perez refused to answer the question directly.
Franks persisted, ultimately asking it four times.
Perez at one point responded that it was a “hard question.” He simply
refused to affirm that the Obama Justice Department would not attempt
to criminalize criticism of Islam. So this was the choice for Democrats: a Congressman with many
connections to an organization dedicated in its own words to
“eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within” or a foe
of the First Amendment right to the freedom of speech. The foe of the
freedom of speech won.
That’s today’s Democratic Party.
“Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez elected DNC chair,” by Ryan Struyk and MaryAlice Parks, ABC News, February 25, 2017:
Former Secretary of Labor Tom Perez has been elected the
next chair of the Democratic National Committee, grabbing the reins of
the political wing of the party and emerging as a key figure in the
party’s opposition to President Donald Trump’s agenda.
More than 400 party insiders gathered in Atlanta this weekend to cast
their ballots. The former Obama appointee will try to rally the party
of Democrats still reeling from its presidential election defeat and
crippled by down-ballot losses across the country over the last decade.
Many in the party’s progressive wing had rallied around Minnesota
Rep. Keith Ellison, expressing their frustration with the status quo of
the party. They felt strongly that Ellison better identified with the
grassroots movement growing across the country in opposition to Trump.
Perez had fallen one short shy of victory in the first round of voting.
“We need a chair who can not only take the fight to Donald Trump,
make sure we talk about our positive message,” Perez told the crowd
before the vote. “We also need a chair who can lead turnaround and
change the culture of the Democratic Party and DNC.”
The next chair will be key in trying to unify and rally a party still
reeling from its presidential election defeat and crippled by
down-ballot losses across the country over the last decade.
“We’re in this mess because we lost not one election but a thousand
elections,” Ellison said before the vote. “We gotta go to the
grassroots, ya’ll. Unity is essential. We gotta walk out of here with
unity.”…

Matt Chandler’s Village Church and the American Left: Giving Leftist-Islamic Groups a Foothold in the Church The conservative movement, and more importantly the conservative
evangelical church, is being undermined and compromised by well-known
evangelical leaders. Men, such as Matt Chandler, are accommodating and
participating in interfaith dialogues with groups who share ties to
radical Islam. It is no longer leftists in this country finding friends
only within organizations of the religious left. Today the agenda of the
American left has also found a home within the mainstream leadership of
the conservative, evangelical church.
Pastoring one of the largest churches in Dallas, The Village Church, Matt Chandler currently serves as president of the ACTS 29 network, and he is also on the leadership council
of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), the
public-policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. (The current
president of Ethics & Religious Liberty is Russell Moore, who has
recently been embroiled in a battle over his organization’s decision to
file an amicus brief on behalf of a Muslim group attempting to build a
mosque in New Jersey.)
In addition, Chandler is a popular speaker at Christian conferences
across the country. Therefore, his far-reaching influence among
conservative Christians cannot be underestimated. In response to the growing interfaith movement between Muslims and
Christians, Shahram Hadian, an Iranian Muslim convert to Christianity says
Christians are being played like a fiddle.They are either naïve or
deceived. He is now a Christian pastor who recognizes the dangers of
blending Islam and Christianity. Taking a close look at the activities and the alliances being formed,
it is clear that this is not about Christian evangelism. To the
contrary, it is about the conservative Christian church being seduced by
those who practice Islam, a false religion. While the followers of
Allah join with Christians in interfaith campaigns, Christian
participants continue to ignore Scriptural warning against it.
Consequently, those who in the past may have been considered
conservative Christian leaders are being robbed of spiritual alertness
and discernment.
Furthermore, it is too serious to ignore the dangerous mixed messages
Chandler’s church is currently sending, and, as we have learned from
Mark Driscoll, former president of ACTS 29, there can be two sides to a ministry: one side that speaks the truth while the other side undermines and perverts it.
Therefore, as we will see in the case of Matt Chandler and the
ministries he supports, two radical Islamic groups have been involved
with ACTS 29 leaders, and even most recently within Chandler’s own
church. Collaborating behind the scene are CAIR, the Council on American
Islamic Relations and ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America–two
groups very involved in Christian/Muslim bridge-building projects.
It is well documented that both CAIR and ISNA were founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Their objectives in America have been declared; destroy our society from within.
Per Jamie Glazov, the managing editor of FrontPage magazine, they
“manipulate and exploit dialogue with us as a weapon to weaken and
destroy us…a tactic found in Muslim Brotherhood documents.” Furthermore,
Glazov warns, “ISNA,…was an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal
prosecution of the Hamas-funding Holy Land Foundation. It was listed in a
Muslim Brotherhood memorandum as one of ‘our organizations and the
organizations of our friends.’ Based on its long record of advancing the
Islamist worldviews, ISNA has been described as ‘one of the chief
conduits through which the radical Saudi form of Islam passes into the
United States.”
Therefore, it is alarming that on November 2, 2016, two pastors on
staff at The Village Church, including the director of The Village
Church’s SEEK THE PEACE spoke and showed their support at an event
co-sponsored by ISNA, the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign and FFEU, the
Foundation for Ethnic Understanding. (Russel Simmons is the chairman of http://www.ffeu.org/
) The meeting was held at the Islamic Center of Frisco and as stated by
FFEU, participants publicly signed the Religious Freedom Pledge, which
was launched in 2016 at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.
The pledge commits leaders to “uphold and defend the freedom of
conscience of all individuals by rejecting and speaking out, without
reservation, against bigotry discrimination, harassment, and violence
based on religion or belief.”
Furthermore, per FFEU, the endorsers of the pledge will “call on
public officials to uphold these same values, particularly in this
season of heightened anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate crimes.”
Additionally, an Imam said that by coming together at the Fresco mosque
just days before the election, the participants were making the case
that we “will not allow the poisonous political discourse penetrate our
communities. WHEN WE JOIN TOGETHER LIKE THIS, IT IS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE.”
Village staff pastors participating were Pastor Richard Brindley and Pastor Kyle Worley, and a Village Church layman, Jason Clarke, who is the director of SEEK THE PEACE, a group financially, supported by The Village Church. (source) Clarke shows his partnership with The Village Church. Seek the Peace is also actively involved in the liberal politics of
the resettling of Syrian refugees into the country. On January 20, 2016,
a posting from “We Welcome Refugees” was on Seek the Peace’s Facebook page
calling on followers to stop a bill in the Senate, which they said
would “grind to a halt the resettlement of Syrian and Iraqi refugees.”
Their stated position was to increase in the coming year the number of
refugees to 200,000 (including 100,000 to be Syrians refugees) to be
admitted to the U.S. Then to fit the liberal narrative, The Village Church has also bought
into the social justice language of the old social gospel describing
Jesus as a Refugee. (source) In addition, they further this agenda by linking from their church site to the International Rescue Committee. The President and Chief Executive Officer is David Miliband. Miliband is currently running for a top United Nation’s development job and he has also been an outspoken critic of the Brexit movement,
and conservative/Trump efforts to protect American borders. The
following article reflects his political support of global and
“international order.” It has been reported he had been tipped for a senior job in a Hillary Clinton administration if she had won the US presidential election.
The politics of International Rescue Committee is clearly
fighting against conservative Republicans and the Trump administration’s
temporary ban of immigrants entering the country. Consequently, one
would be negligent in not asking why Matt Chandler and his church
ministries are validating and accommodating groups working against the
efforts of conservative Christians? (Listed overseers of the
International Rescue Committee include: Madeleine Albright, Henry
Kissinger, Colin Powell, Rhonda Weingarten, President of American
Federation of Teachers.) (source, source) Another internally very connected group to The Village Church is Peace Catalyst International.
This group has is not only linked to online from Village Church
sites but also the profile of Peace Catalyst staff member, Sarah Long,
shows she is also on staff
at Chandler’s Village Church. Long’s active involvement in setting the
tone of a liberal, politically correct agenda within the church is
evident in her article titledEngaging Muslims. Per her article following her mosque-speaking experience where she
presented her stand against so-called discrimination, hate crimes, and
oppression, Ms. Long provided clear instructions on how Christians must
stand against the rise of “Islamophobia.” Usage of this liberal term by
Sarah Long is telling because it is a term created by the left to
silence and intimidate anyone that disagrees or interferes with their
political position. Ms. Long’s rules of engagement included “visit your local mosque,…Be
sensitive to where the Christian West has failed to look like Jesus,
…Talk about Jesus but carry no agenda, … Don’t criticize Muhammad, the
Qur’an, or anything about the Islamic faith, …We must be more committed
to our relationships than to be right. We must push back against the
hateful rhetoric being spoken about all Muslims.” Then, listed under her
“Recommended resources” are “Seek the Peace,” and “Peace Catalyst International.”
Matt Chandler’s alliance with Peace Catalyst presents another
question regarding with whom he is willing to accommodate and associate.
As we will see further on in this paper, from all outward appearances,
Peace Catalyst has a track record of partnering with left leaning or any
Muslim group regardless of their track record. Furthermore, the
sentiment and heart of this group can be seen in the words of their organization’s president Rick Love. Responding to concerns raised due to Love’s support of A Common Word Between Us and You, a letter from Islamic leaders to Christian leaders, he defended his position and said, “I do not hesitate to refer to the God of the Bible as Allah, since Arab Christians before and after the birth of Islam use the term Allah
to describe the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Moreover, he
also said, “I believe that Muslims worship the true God.” Rick Love’s faulty doctrine
sums up why Muslim leaders and “Christians” were quick to join arms in
fellowship. The “Christians” were not discerning and too eager to find
common ground. They didn’t even get to first base before they had
already weakened the Christian faith. Consequently, we now have CAIR and
ISNA within the church.
This careless willingness to ignore the truth and overlook the
background and character of those in our fellowship is putting us also
in the path of others who are even more reckless. For example, while
Rick Love sports his Christian credentials, he is also courting and
validating those who do not share what he says he claims to believe.
As the president of Peace Catalyst, Rick Love is also on the advisory board of the organizationCharity and Security Network,
a group funding by groups such as George Soros’ Open Society, the
United Muslim Relief and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Others
on this advisory board include the Alliance for Peacebuilding and the
ACLU. The Charity and Security Network states that since U.S. law makes
it a crime to conduct almost any transaction with a terrorist group, it
is restricting “peace building groups to train terrorist groups on how to
use nonviolent means to address their grievances.” What are they
saying? Are we to trust them to bring peace to the Middle East?
(Note: Rick Love is also a member of the Peacebuilding Global Advisory Council: http://www.allianceforpeacebuilding.org/our-work/about-our-work/peacebuilding-evaluation/effective-inter-religious-action-in-peacebuilding/ )
The groundwork for much of this had been laid many years before. For
example, Matt Chandler announced in an interview with John Piper on the
topic of “Social Justice” that a layman in his church had started an
organization called Free City International. Chandler stated the goal of
this group was to serve as a HUB for the Middle Eastern culture in
Dallas. (As stated on its current website, the group was founded in 2008 but the name was changed to SEEK THE PEACE.)
(In above video, hear Chandler’s remarks around minute 5:06-5:28.)
In addition to the forming of Free City International, ACTS 29 leaders already had their fingers involved in the interfaith movement. In 2010, ACTS 29 showed their willingness to dialogue with CAIR when an ACTS 29
church invited members of CAIR to a church in Renton, Washington.
Reports included the participating Muslims were even allowed the call to
prayer within the walls of this “Christian” church. WorldnetDaily was on top of this story with one of their headlines stating:
“Christian question: ‘Interfaith dialogue’ or ‘useful idiots’? Growing
trend to meet with Muslims rings bells of alarm for some.” (Hear the audio from the Muslim/Christian dialog here)
The response from CAIR to this March 27, 2010, event can be summed up
by Imam Mohamad Joban. Commenting on their success, he stated, “What
happened this past Saturday night at Harambee Church was a bounty of our
Lord. …It was a combination of thoughtful preparation, generous efforts
by the organizers, and our trust in Allah.” (source)
The Pastor of Harambee Church at the time was Mike Gunn, co-founder of Mark Driscoll’s Seattle Mars Hill Church. Gunn has also served as the acting director of ACTS 29
International. In his lengthy rebuttal to the concerns raised regarding
his accommodation of CAIR, he stated whether or not CAIR has ties to
Hamas “is irrelevant.” Gunn also accused those who disagreed as showing a “…kind of legalistic nonsense.”
However, it appears the major organizer of the Harambee interfaith
event was Michael Ly, co-pastor of Harambee Church. A CAIR news release
also described him as “Vice president of Peace Catalyst International.”
Ly’s name is also given by CAIR as a contact person for other interfaith
endeavors.
Accord to a Seattle Times article 9/7/2010,
Ly’s next big project was to work with CAIR to organize a dinner
inviting 20 imams and other Muslim leaders, and 20 pastors and other
Christian leaders “mainly from conservative evangelical churches.”
Ly may have left the Seattle area but his activities and influence
have indeed expanded as he is now listed as not only the co-founder of
Peace Catalyst International, but he also serves on staff. Matt Chandler and other Evangelical leaders going down this road are
not protecting the Church or the country. Their hospitality is being
taken advantage of to advance a liberal, leftist cause. In the process,
they are neutralizing and watering down the clarity of the gospel
message and undermining efforts to keep our nation safe.
This is not the time for a lack of courage or compromising men. Yet,
now, they appear to be the ones given the strongest voice and platform.
We are fighting against an evangelical establishment that in many ways
may be just as strong as the entrenched Republican Party establishment.
Both battles will not be for the weak at heart.
As believers, it is one thing to show the love of God and share the
gospel with Muslim neighbors. But, it is an entirely different business
to work with and corroborate with false teachers or with those who are
hell bent on the destruction of Western civilization.
Contrary to comments made by the leader of Peace Catalyst suggesting
Christians and Muslims pray to the same God, he is wrong. Scripture
states, “Whoever…does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have
God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the
Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receivehim into your house…” 2 John 9-11.
In other words, hospitality and love must be discerning. Otherwise,
Christians may aid those who are attempting to destroy basic truths of
the faith.
I am reminded of the wisdom of a godly man who warned the church:
“Follow discerning leaders.” However, it is obvious that today far too
many of our “Christian leaders” are ignoring the warning.
Regardless of the motives of Matt Chandler and other like-minded men,
the consequences of their leadership are the same. They have been
careless in not protecting the Church and thus, the conservative
evangelical church is being attacked from within.
George Soros understands the importance of using the church to
implement his aggressive refugee resettlement program throughout Europe
and the west. He wrote in the World Economic Forum September 28, 2015,
where I found linked to from SEEK THE PEACE blog:
“Finally, to absorb and integrate more than a million asylum seekers
and migrants a year, the EU needs to mobilize the private sector – NGOs,
church groups, and businesses – to act as sponsors.” https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/09/6-ways-europe-must-respond-to-the-refugee-crisis/

Europe
is no longer Europe, it is Eurabia, a colony of Islam, where the Islamic
invasion does not proceed only in a physical sense, but also in a mental
and cultural sense. There are moments in Life when keeping silent becomes
a fault, and speaking an obligation. A civic duty, a moral challenge,
a categorical imperative from which we cannot escape. —Journalist
Oriana Fallaci
The
wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world.
—Mahmoud Ahmadinejah, President of Iran
The
very title of this article should worry all of us. The newly appointed
National Security Adviser thinks the term, “radical Islamic terrorism”
is not beneficial because terrorists are “un-Islamic.”
Peter
R. Mansoor, a retired Army colonel who served with McMaster in Iraq during
the 2007 surge of U.S. troops, said earlier that McMaster “absolutely
does not view Islam as the enemy. So, I think he will present a degree
of pushback against the theories being propounded in the White House that
this is a clash of civilizations and needs to be treated as such.”
“McMaster,
like (President) Obama, is someone who was in positions of leadership
and thought the United states should not play into the jihadist propaganda
that this is a religious war,” William McCants, a senior fellow
at the Brookings Institution, told The Times. [Link],
[Link]
President
Trump repeatedly slammed President Obama and Democratic rival Hillary
Clinton for avoiding explicitly saying "radical Islamic terrorism."
Trump argued that not identifying enemies hinders the fight against terror,
while Democrats argue that such words unfairly link Islam with terrorism.
Trump
was right, and so was General Flynn. So, who vetted McMaster, and who
is advising our President, and it’s even more worrisome that Senator
McCain is thrilled with Trump’s latest choice.
McCain
Lauds McMaster for NSA
When
Trump selected General H.R. McMaster to be his National Security Advisor,
most folks breathed a sigh of relief that CFR member, John Bolton wasn’t
chosen, but that relief may have been premature.
General
McMaster, like his supporters, Senator McCain, and Moscow born, Max
Boot, the Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security
Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, are all members
of the CFR.
Sen.
McCain, who in Munich, stated his not-so-subtle attacks on Trump for not
being harder on Russia, said that, “McMaster knows how to succeed.
I give President Trump great credit for this decision, as well as his
national security cabinet choices. I could not imagine a better, more
capable national security team than the one we have right now.”
Max
Boot stated much the same thing, “H.R. McMaster is one of the most
impressive army officers of his generation—a rare combination of
soldier and scholar,” said Max Boot, in an email to The Daily Beast.
“But not even the most talented individual will succeed in that
job as long as Bannon and Kushner continue to run their own foreign policies.”
Apparently,
McMaster is not the man to guide President Trump toward better relations
with Russia and less US interference in the internal affairs of other
nations, as was former NSA Chief, General Michael Flynn.
In a
speech delivered
at the Center for Strategic and International Studies just last May, Gen.
McMaster blamed the lack of sufficient US military presence overseas for
what he calls a more aggressive Russian geo-strategic posturing. Take note
of what the General said:
Even
though it may have been apparent, at least since 2008, that Russia was
changing its geo-strategic behavior and engaging in…probing, probing
at the far reaches of American power, our strategic response was to
accelerate our withdrawal of…army forces from Europe. And what
we’re seeing now is we’ve awakened to obviously this threat
from Russia who is waging limited war for limited objectives. Annexing
Crimea. Invading Ukraine. At zero cost. And consolidating gains over
that territory, and portraying the reaction by us and partners as escalatory.
… What is required is forward deterrence. To be able to ratchet
up the cost at the frontier.
The
General also made the completely fallacious assertion that Russia invaded
Georgia in 2008. Even the overtly anti-Russia European Union concluded
that Georgia was to blame for launching an ill-advised attack on Russian
peacekeeping forces that were part of an international mission in South
Ossetia.
This
certainly doesn’t sound like someone who is going to work to help
our President improve relations with Russia. In fact, McMaster is a hawk
and is all
about conflict with Russia. Is it any wonder that the likes of Max
Boot and John McCain are thrilled with Trump’s new NSA Chief?
McCain’s
Long Feud with Trump
The
Bezos owned Washington Post reported that Trump had stated, “McCain
is no war hero,” but they misled the people by misstating what Trump
had actually said, as clarified
by Sharyl Attkisson. Nothing new here, misquotes and lies are a common
thread of media since the 1964
NYTs v. Sullivan Supreme Court decision allowing media to lie with
impunity. And this is the reality of what Trump calls, “fake news.”
Remember
too that in September of 2016, Trump endorsed John McCain for re-election
and said nice things about him.
So,
what’s with the Senator from Arizona?
The
Real John McCain
He served
our country, and we do not know what he went through as a POW, so we honor
him for his service.
However,
the truth of the matter is that despite McCain’s military service,
he has never been a man of or for the American people, and the “R”
he wears behind his name more often than not comes across as a “D.”
In fact,
last October, this alleged Republican stated that he would not be voting
for Donald Trump, the nominee from his own party! So, who did he vote
for…Hillary?
Trump
did state that McCain graduated at the bottom of his class, and he was
right. Even McCain alluded
to his academic record during a commencement speech in 1997 when he
stated, “This is quite an unexpected honor for a Naval Academy midshipman
who graduated fifth from the bottom in the Class of ’58.”
He actually graduated 790th out of 795 students.
There
are countless stories on the web of McCain’s actual service and
his actual imprisonment by the Vietcong, but there is one
by Philip Giraldi that elucidates truth. He tells of Pulitzer Prize
winning journalist Sydney Schanberg, who was intrigued by the Vietnam
POW issue, and began pursuing the McCain story in the late 1980s.
Schanberg
makes two key points: first that a number of American prisoners of war
were left behind in Indochina in 1973 with the connivance of top levels
in the U.S. government (See
Henry Kissinger, Soviet Agent), and second that John McCain has worked
assiduously to obstruct any efforts to open Pentagon files and follow
up on leads to determine the status of the POWs and the “missing
in action.”
John
McCain is still a powerful voice in the Senate consistently advocating
policies calling for the United States to use military force around the
world. More troubling perhaps, McCain has consistently and irrationally
advocated an undeviating hard line against Russia, the only country with
the military capability to confront and destroy much of the United States
through its nuclear armed ballistic missile forces. Perhaps this is why
he is so enamored with General McMaster, and why he so hated General Flynn.
McCain’s
Voting Record
Conservative
Review grants McCain an “F” with a 48
percent rating, calling out McCain for an extensive 32-year entrenchment
in Washington. CR Editor, Gaston Mooney, said, “McCain’s consistent
support for gun control, cap and trade, amnesty, and tax increases have
put him at odds with just about every coalition inside the Republican
Party. McCain pandered to the right in 2008, and he
did it again to be re-elected in 2016.
“There
are few Republicans who have betrayed our conservative principles more
than John McCain,” read the Senate Conservatives Fund letter. “McCain
lost his way a long time ago.”
The
Senator has also been criticized for his part in the “Gang of Eight”
immigration reform and his support for amnesty, his vote for the taxpayer
funded “Wall Street” bailout, his vote to fund implementation
of Obamacare and criticism of efforts to halt that funding, opposition
to a $1.3 trillion tax cut, support for a $600 billion tax hike, repeated
votes to raise the debt limit and voting against term limits.
Mincing
no words, the Senate Conservatives’ letter refers to McCain as “one
of the most anti-conservative RINOs in the Senate.”
McCain’s
Munich Conference Comments
What
kind of American is John McCain? He’s certainly not one who represents
the Constitution he took an oath to uphold.
McCain
apparently had no problem bashing our President in foreign countries recently.
Why didn’t McCain honor the tradition of standing for America in
foreign countries? He has embarrassed our nation, and himself, just as
Obama did over and over again.
Here
is the transcript of McCain’s speech in Munich. Without mentioning
President Trump even once, he ridiculed and slammed his policies, his
presidency, and his abilities. In doing so, McCain also slammed every
American who voted for Trump and wants his policies to succeed.
But
what I found the most telling was his comment, “I refuse to accept
the demise of our world order.” He actually mentioned “world
order” five times in his short Munich speech. What world order John?
The New World Order you’ve been pushing since you took office in
1987?
The
Senator even stated that VP Pence, and Generals Kelly and Mattis, all
disagree with Trump’s stances and policies and have also voiced
those opinions at the Munich Conference.
The
Senator’s latest attacks on our President are unconscionable and
absolutely bordering on sedition.
McCain
on Meet the Press
On Sunday,
during an interview with Chuck Todd, the senator again talked about the
“new world order” established after World War II, and how
he is fearful it is under assault from a variety of forces. (Does this
remind you of George
H.W. Bush’s 1991 NWO speech?)
He also
claimed to be worried about presidential advisor Steve Bannon’s
role on the National Security Council. Then he attacked Trump by saying,
“A free press is vital and suppressing a free press is “how
dictators get started.”
His
comments were ridiculous. My friend Vin Sabella said this:
First,
he claimed that the president was destroying freedom of the press. Then
he said that’s what all dictators do to gain power. Then he said
he didn’t mean that Trump was trying to be a dictator.
And,
if that’s true, Senator, why did you bring up the fact that you
thought Trump was muzzling the press and say that that is what dictators
do in the same breath? I think the answer is obvious. You wanted to
call Trump a potential dictator and be able to weasel your way out of
having done so if you were called on it.
As
Rand Paul said, McCain is deliberately blowing Trump’s criticism
of the press out of proportion. Every president has criticized the press
throughout history. But, as Paul says, there is a big difference between
criticizing the press and passing a law or issuing an executive order
to suppress the press. Trump has obviously done neither.
MSNBC’s
Mika Brzezinski, (daughter of Zbignew Brzezinski) recently made it clear
that she
believes it is the media’s job to control what people think.
Really Mika? One need only watch Chris Cuomo or Van Jones to understand
their propaganda and socialist/communist allegiances.
White
House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that if President Donald
Trump’s newly appointed national security adviser wanted to remove
chief strategist Steve Bannon from the National Security Council’s
principals committee, the president would “take that under serious
consideration.”
“The
president has made clear to him he’s got full authority to structure
the national security team the way he wants,” Spicer said of Lt.
Gen. H.R. McMaster, whom Trump appointed last Monday as his new NSA
chief. Spicer made the remarks in the daily White House press briefing.
Does
this worry me? You bet it does. Bannon is one of the most trusted insiders
and as such, he should remain exactly where he is for our President.
Conclusion
Donald
J. Trump is in new waters, and he is learning as he goes. He wants to
keep his promises to the American people. He’s the boss, and his
employees should follow his lead.
Our
President has a huge job, and he is wrestling against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high
places. Pray for him, and pray for our country.

ou can see McMaster say this beginning at the four-minute mark:
“We are engaged today, as General George C. Marshall’s generation was
engaged, against enemies who pose a great threat to all civilized
peoples. As our World War II generation defeated Nazi Fascism and
Japanese imperialism, and as later generations defeated Communist
totalitarianism, we will defeat today’s enemies, including terrorist
organizations like Daesh, who cynically use a perverted interpretation
of religion to incite hatred and justify horrific cruelty against
innocents.” — Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, speech to Virginia Military
Institute, Center for Leadership and Excellence, November 21, 2016
In this video
also, from May 2016, McMaster says this same thing. At 14:43, McMaster
refers to “groups like ISIL, who use this irreligious ideology, this
perverted interpretation of religion to justify violence. They depend on
ignorance, and the ability to recruit vulnerable segments of
populations to foment hatred, and then use that hatred to justify
violence against innocents.”
This could be Barack Obama or John Kerry speaking.
As I explained here,
this was during the Obama regime, when that was the official policy of
the U.S. government, but President Trump has repeatedly criticized his
predecessor (and his 2016 election opponent) for not being willing to
call the problem of jihad terror by its right name. Since he has become
President, he has repeatedly reiterated his determination to eradicate
“radical Islamic terrorism.” If McMaster genuinely holds the view that
the Islamic State is not Islamic, then he is a disastrous pick as
National Security Adviser, and will continue the willful ignorance of
the Obama administration, hamstringing efforts to understand, and
counter effectively, the motives and goals of the enemy. _________________________________________________SEE ALSO:https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/02/robert-spencer-in-frontpage
