RAND PAUL’S WIFE: “OUR FAMILY HAS EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE AT A HORRIFYING LEVEL”~
“I NOW KEEP A LOADED GUN BY MY BED"

Senator Rand Paul’s wife has spoken out in regards to the growing trend of harassment and actual physical violence against Republicans and conservatives, revealing that her family has experienced ‘horrific’ threats in recent months.
Kelley Paul penned an open letter to Democratic Senator Cory Booker, who previously encouraged activists to “get up in the face of some congresspeople”.
Mrs Paul’s letter comes after her husband was ‘doxxed’ and accosted by a leftist mob this week at an airport.
“Earlier this week, Rand was besieged in the airport by activists “getting up in his face,” as you, Senator Booker, encouraged them to do a few months ago.” Mrs Paul writes.
“Preventing someone from moving forward, thrusting your middle finger in their face, screaming vitriol — is this the way to express concern or enact change? Or does it only incite unstable people to violence, making them feel that assaulting a person is somehow politically justifiable?” she continues.
Mrs Paul called for Booker to retract his comments, and wrote that they are “all part of a broader effort to intimidate and threaten Republican members of Congress and their families.”
Mrs Paul, who has previously spoken about her fears over her husband being such a prominent voice in the liberty movement, notes that her family now has to have extra security patrols, noting that “someone just posted our home address, and Rand’s cell number, on the internet.”
“I now keep a loaded gun by my bed. Our security systems have had to be expanded. I have never felt this way in my life.” Mrs Paul further writes.
The letter also references the attack on Rand Paul last year, when an unstable neighbor attacked the Senator in his own yard, breaking six ribs and leaving him with lung damage and multiple bouts of pneumonia.
Mrs Paul points to the fact that Democrats, reporters, and leftist celebrities have all made jokes about the violent attack, in an effort to diminish the trend of leftists using violence to justify their political ideology.
Other Democrats, including Maxine Waters, have recently used language openly encouraging agitators to harass republicans.
Responding to Mrs Paul’s letter, Booker’s office suggested Wednesday night that “right-wing” outlets had taken his remarks out of context.
“If you listen to more than a deceptively-edited 18-second clip of the speech Ms. Paul references, Senator Booker’s enduring commitment to decency is clear,” spokesperson Jeff Giertz said.
“To think Senator Booker is somehow urging violent confrontation with these words requires you to ignore all context.” Giertz further claimed.
In recent weeks, there have been several incidents involving the ‘doxxing’ of Republicans and harassment by leftist mobs.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Florida Attorney General Pat Bondi, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House advisor Stephen Miller have been recently targeted by such angry mobs.
Last week, Senator Ted Cruz and his wife were hounded from a restaurant by a mob of unhinged leftists calling him a fascist, and decrying his support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The group, which calls itself ‘Smash Racism DC’ vowed on Twitter, “You are not safe. We will find you.”
“This is a message to Ted Cruz, Bret Kavanaugh, Donald Trump and the rest of the racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic right-wing scum: You are not safe. We will find you. We will expose you. We will take from you the peace you have taken from so many others.” the tweet read.
Other Senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have been hounded and threatened.
On Wednesday, U.S. Capitol Police arrested a former Democratic staffer suspected of posting the personal information of at least one United States senator to the internet following the Kavanaugh hearing.
Jackson A. Cosko, 27, was charged with making public restricted personal information, witness tampering, threats in interstate communications, unauthorized access of a government computer, identity theft, second-degree burglary and unlawful entry, according to a Capitol Police statement.
The home addresses and other personal information of Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch of Utah were posted to Wikipedia on Sept. 27 from an individual located in the House of Representatives.
Fox News notes that Cosko recently worked as an intern for Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, and has also worked under Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and former California Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Senator Graham has said that he has had people banging on his door at home since the information was made public.

EU DECLARES INTENTION TO END "NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY", "KILL OFF POPULIST POLITICS"

EU DECLARES INTENTION TO END "NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY", "KILL OFF POPULIST POLITICS"

The European Union (EU) must bring an end to national sovereignty over finance 
with the creation of a “eurozone budget” in order to kill off populist politics within the 
euro region, according to the Commission.
The European Union is becoming more brazenly Marxist in its advocacy for open borders (enabling the hijrah), which is the biggest threat to democracy today. The EU has already been attempting to bully sovereign states such as Poland and Hungary with threats of sanctions for not accepting its imposed quotas of migrants. Now it’s becoming even more aggressive, accusing so-called “populist” states that seek to keep their countries safe and societies free of being anti-democratic….
Economic affairs chief of the EU’s unelected executive arm, Pierre Moscovici, said that “more progress in European integration” is required to head off populism, which he described as “a major threat for our democracies, for liberal democracies, for the rule of law and for European values”.
Europe has seen the worst breaches of the rule of law since flinging its doors open to indiscriminate immigration. No-go zones (some war-like) have proliferated, as well as jihad attacks, random stabbings, anti-Semitism, and sex assaults.
“Populism” is actually the rise of reason among the people, seeking safety and protection in the face of corrupted politicians who have opted to reshape Europe via the hijrah, as jihadists have also infiltrated the refugee stream. Mosques preaching jihad have proliferated everywhere; many are foreign-funded. Still, the EU openly spreads its propaganda in the hope of keeping its citizens blind. The audacious extent of its falsehoods is well encapsulated by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations website, which declares that “the threat to Liberal Democracy” is “from the backlash against immigration and refugees.”
“Commission: EU Must Curb National Sovereignty to Kill Populism,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, September 27, 2018:
The European Union (EU) must bring an end to national sovereignty over finance with the creation of a “eurozone budget” in order to kill off populist politics within the euro region, according to the Commission.
Economic affairs chief of the EU’s unelected executive arm, Pierre Moscovici, said that “more progress in European integration” is required to head off populism, which he described as “a major threat for our democracies, for liberal democracies, for the rule of law and for European values”.
“Having a eurozone budget is absolutely decisive if we want to address the populist challenge, the burning question of inequalities,” he told an interview with Euractiv.
Speaking after a talk at New York’s European American Chamber of Commerce, Moscovici said: “The European crisis is no more an economic crisis. It is an inequality crisis. It is a political crisis. It is a crisis of delivery. We need to deliver more. That is what eurozone reform is about. It is not technical. It is highly political.”
Turning to talk of Italy, where citizens elected a coalition between the Eurosceptic, anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the anti-mass migration League earlier this year, Moscovici warned against the government’s defiance of EU diktats demanding a steep curb to public spending.
The Paris-born Commissioner, who began his political career in France’s Revolutionary Communist League, stated: “My message is that their interest, not only their duty but their interest, is to reduce the structural deficit” and in turn their public debt so they can develop investment in the economy.”….

‘FREE SPEECH EVAPORATING IN THIS COUNTRY’: TUCKER CARLSON BREAKS DOWN GOOGLE CENSORSHIP OF INFOWARS

‘FREE SPEECH EVAPORATING IN THIS COUNTRY’: 
TUCKER CARLSON BREAKS DOWN GOOGLE CENSORSHIP 
OF INFOWARS

Internal Google emails showed Alex Jones, Infowars blacklisted

Internal emails showed Google blacklists search results for Alex Jones and Infowars, Fox News host Tucker Carlson exposed Wednesday night.
Discussing how global corporations are strangling free speech, Carlson disclosed internal emails from Google engineer Dong Jiao obtained by Fox News, which showed search algorithms demote content from Infowars and other unwanted videos.
“It’s no secret that free speech is evaporating in this country. After 240 years the biggest threat turns out not to be the government, but instead corporations, schools and especially the online mob,” Tucker said, introducing his next guest Dave Portnoy.
Carlson goes on to question why a multinational corporate superpower like Google has the ability to control the flow of information for billions of users, especially in light of a congressional exemption granted on the basis that Google would not edit information.
Previously on this show we’ve told you how employees at Google discussed altering search results to undermine the White House’s immigration policies.
At the time Google said it has never changed search results for political reasons and it never will. We knew it was untrue then, now we can prove that it is untrue.
The show has obtained internal Google emails in which an employee discusses editing YouTube search results to suppress videos based on their political content.
Here’s one example: Last March, Google engineer Dong Jiao sent an email saying the company wanted to, and we’re quoting, “demote low authoritative content on controversial queries to fight against fake news.”
This was not hypothetical. He said the company had already succeeded in suppressing unwanted videos, videos for searches like: “Hillary” and, we’re flattered here, “Tucker.”
It’s not clear which videos were suppressed because Google won’t admit it or tell us, but the email does indicate that Alex Jones and Infowars we’re a major target of this.
Google says their efforts are not political and meant to fight conspiracy theories, though for the record we have never endorsed any kind of conspiracy theory on this show and never would – and by the way, how does Google define a conspiracy theory? They haven’t told us that either, or why a superpower global monopoly ought to be making that decision in the first place since they have a congressional exemption in which they promised not to – they promised to be a conduit through which information flows and not a news site that edits it. Congress might want to rethink that agreement.
Google’s increased censorship of Alex Jones has not gone undetected. As highlighted in April 2017, search engine evaluators contracted by the company have been specifically instructed to rate articles from Infowars as “low to medium” quality, no matter the validity of the content.
Infowars has been banned by Facebook. Please help by sharing this article on your own Facebook page.

PENCE: GOOGLE SHOULD ‘IMMEDIATELY’ END CHINA CENSORSHIP PROJECT, "DRAGONFLY"

PENCE: GOOGLE SHOULD ‘IMMEDIATELY’ END 

CHINA CENSORSHIP PROJECT, "DRAGONFLY"

BY MIKAEL THALEN

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence urged Google Thursday to end its development of a Chinese search engine that would track users and censor content.
While delivering a speech at the Hudson Institute, Pence argued Google should follow the lead of other companies who refuse to enter the Chinese market “if it means turning over their intellectual property or abetting Beijing’s oppression.”
“For example,” Pence said, “Google should immediately end development of the ‘Dragonfly’ app that will strengthen Communist Party censorship and compromise the privacy of Chinese customers.”
The secretive project, first revealed by The Intercept last month, would allow Google to reenter the Chinese market after initially pulling its services in 2010 due to attempted hacks and censorship of users by the Communist government.
A prototype of the app reportedly blacklists terms including “Nobel prize,” “human rights” and “student protest” and would also track the location of users.
After declining to publicly comment on the project for weeks, Keith Enright, Google’s chief privacy officer, confirmed the project’s existence during a hearing in front of the Senate late last month.
Enright, however, denied having detailed knowledge of the app and claimed it was not nearing completion.
“I am not clear on the contours of what is in scope or out of scope for that project,” Enright said. “But I can say that if we were close to launching a search project in China, myself and my team would be very actively engaged to ensure that it was going through the appropriate privacy review process and that it was consistent with our privacy values and the commitments that we’ve made to our users.”
Google appears to be going forward with the project despite receiving a letter from 1,400 Google employees as well as 14 human rights organizations demanding the company reverse its decision.
Former Google research scientist Jack Poulson also came forward last month to reveal his resignation from the company in protest of Dragonfly.
“Due to my conviction that dissent is fundamental to functioning democracies, I am forced to resign in order to avoid contributing to, or profiting from, the erosion of protection for dissidents,” Poulson wrote in his resignation letter to Google. “I view our intent to capitulate to censorship and surveillance demands in exchange for access to the market as a forfeiture of our values and governmental negotiating position across the globe.”
Pence’s comments come amid escalating tensions between D.C. and Beijing over numerous issues including trade and espionage.
A report in Bloomberg Thursday also claimed that China has “compromised America’s technology supply chain” by embedding secret chips inside Amazon and Apple products.

UN COURT "ORDERS" UNITED STATES TO LIFT SOME SANCTIONS ON IRAN

UN Court “Orders” United States to Lift Some Sanctions on Iran
UN COURT "ORDERS" UNITED STATES 
TO LIFT SOME SANCTIONS ON IRAN 
BY JAMES MURPHY
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

The United Nations’ highest court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) handed the Islamic Republic of Iran a partial victory against the United States on Wednesday, ruling that America must halt sanctions on certain humanitarian items going into Iran.

Among those “humanitarian” items are airplane parts.
Iran had asked the 15-judge panel for all sanctions to be terminated without delay and for compensation for revenue losses it had incurred after the United States’ May 8 withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal. While the court rejected the compensation request, it did order the United States to “remove by means of its choosing, any impediments arising from the measures of May 8 to the free exportation to the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran” of medicines and medical devices; foodstuffs and agricultural commodities; and spare parts, equipment, and services necessary for the safety of civil aviation.
The Trump administration levied new sanctions on Iran in August after abandoning the Iran Nuclear deal in May. More punitive measures are expected to be announced in November. Reportedly, the new sanctions may be targeting Iran’s oil and shipping industries and its central bank. European allies have been struggling to keep the deal alive since the United States’ departure.
In court, Iran argued that renewed sanctions violated the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights between the two nations. That treaty gave the ICJ jurisdiction over economic and trade disputes between the two nations.
Lawyers for the United States argued that Iran’s claims fell outside the bounds of that treaty and, therefore, the ICJ had no jurisdiction. They also added that some humanitarian exemptions were already being made
The ICJ had earlier decided that the 1955 treaty was still valid, despite the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the U.S.-backed Shah of Iran and ushered in the Islamic government.
The new ruling is “binding,” but the ICJ has no enforcement mechanism. Therefore, led by President Trump, the United States is likely to ignore it.
Both sides claimed victory, with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif calling the ruling “another failure for sanctions-addicted U.S. government and victory for rule of law.”
But U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had another view: “The court’s ruling today was a defeat for Iran. It rightly rejected all of Iran’s baseless requests.... Given Iran’s history of terrorism, ballistic missile activity and other malign behaviors, Iran’s claims under the treaty are absurd.”
But neither side can properly claim a true victory, as Wednesday’s decision was on so-called provisional measures. The final ruling on the full case may take several years.
The United States also announced that it was abandoning the outdated 1955 treaty on which the court’s ruling was based. “This is a decision, frankly, that is 39 years overdue,” Pompeo said, referencing the 1979 revolution, during which 52 American citizens were held hostage for 444 days by Islamic militants.
In 1980, Iran ignored a ruling by the ICJ to release the 52 Americans.
Pompeo also claimed that the United States possessed “solid” evidence that Iran is responsible for recent attacks against Americans in Iraq. The consulate in the city of Basra was closed last week owing to Iranian-backed violence. Earlier this month, a mortar attack was carried out near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, with at least 16 explosions reported near the compound.
“These latest destabilizing acts in Iraq are attempts by the Iranian regime to push back on our efforts to constrain its malign behavior,” Pompeo said. “Clearly, they see our comprehensive pressure campaign as serious and succeeding.”
Regardless of how one feels about the U.S. sanctions on Iran, it’s absurd for the United States to even participate in these so-called trials. Without any enforcement mechanisms, any rulings that the ICJ renders are, at best, good only for propaganda. And, let’s face it, the majority of that propaganda is anti-American.
The United States is responsible for funding 22 percent of the UN’s biennial budget. No other nation even comes close to that. Japan is second at just under 10 percent, and economic powerhouse China only funds about eight percent of the UN’s budget. Still, the organization has the gall to complain that the United States is in “arrears” to it to the tune of $3 billion. 
With its phony International Court of Justice, its useless bureaucracies, and its rampant anti-Americanism, isn’t it long past time that the United States remove itself from the ineffective and corrupt United Nations and use that money for better purposes?
