CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FIRES PRESCHOOL TEACHER WHO REFUSES TO LEAVE PORN INDUSTRY

 NOT FOR CHILDREN, EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA
 
CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FIRES PRESCHOOL TEACHER WHO REFUSES TO LEAVE PORN INDUSTRY
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A Christian school in 
California has reportedly fired a preschool teacher after giving her the
 choice of leaving the pornography industry or losing her job working at
 the faith-based institution.
Nina Skye told Fox11 News this week she was informed by the school, which has not been identified, that her lifestyle was in violation of the conduct agreement that she signed when she began working at the facility.
“[They said] I couldn’t work there because it goes against their statement of faith [and] that it goes against their views of fornication, like sex before marriage, and that’s what I’m doing,” she explained. “They say it goes against the paper I signed saying I wouldn’t do that.”
Skye said that officials tried to offer her help and a way out of the industry, but she declined.

“They were really trying to pull me away from staying in the industry. They just really wanted me out. They offered help and advice, but I don’t really want out of the industry,” she admitted.
She went further, telling reporters that she “loves sex” and that working as a porn actress is her “dream job.”
“It is easy money,” Skye said. “For my very first scene, I just did a regular boy on girl scene and I got paid $2,500 on the spot. I never had that much money, ever, just handed to me in my life.”

She has also performed in lesbian scenes as well.
On June 13, Skye posted to her social media page that her employment had been terminated, and seemed to disagree with the decision, writing “smh,” short for “shaking my head.”
“Got fired from a religious school just because I do porn. smh,” Skye tweeted.
She also wrote on Sunday, “Happy Father’s day to all the daddies I use to flirt with when I was a teacher and then some.”
1 Thessalonians 4:1-5 and 7-8 reads, “Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication—that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God.”
“For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit.”

GERMANY ADMITS: 75% OF MUSLIM MIGRANTS WILL BE ON WELFARE FOR YEARS TO COME

 
GERMANY ADMITS: 75% OF MUSLIM MIGRANTS WILL BE ON WELFARE FOR YEARS TO COME

 They were supposed to be coming to supply a labor force that would make 
up for Germany’s declining birthrate. Instead, they’re going on welfare,
 which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, since the Qur’an says 
that non-Muslims must pay for the Muslims’ upkeep (9:29). Germany has 
imported a huge drain on its welfare system. What could possibly go 
wrong?
 
“Refugee reality: Germany admits 75% face long-term unemployment and life on benefits,” by Simon Osborne, Express, June 23, 2017:
THREE quarters of Germany’s refugees will be long-term unemployed and claiming benefits for years, it was admitted today.
Aydan Özoğuz, commissioner for immigration, refugees and integration, told the Financial Times that only a quarter to a third of the newcomers would enter the labour market over the next five years, and “for many others we will need up to 10”.
The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) found only 45 per cent of Syrian refugees in Germany have a school-leaving certificate and 23 per cent a college degree.
Statistics from the Federal Labour Agency show the employment rate among refugees stands at just 17 per cent.
It said 484,000 of the refugees are looking for work, up from 322,000 last July — an increase of 50 per cent.
Of those, 178,500 are officially unemployed, meaning they not only have no work but are not enrolled in any training programmes or language courses — up 27 per cent on last July….
It was hoped the arrival of so many working-age, highly-motivated immigrants would help end Germany’s skills shortage and solve a demographic crisis posed by its dangerously low birth rate….
 

THE PSYCHIATRIC AGENDA DESTROYS CREATIVE CHILDREN

THE PSYCHIATRIC AGENDA DESTROYS 
CREATIVE CHILDREN 
 Children are being diagnosed and dosed with toxic drugs at a staggering rate
BY JON RAPPOPORT
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
“Take a child who wants to invent something out of thin air, and instead of saying no, tell him he has a problem with his brain, and then stand back and watch what happens. In particular, watch what happens when you give him a toxic drug to fix his brain. You have to be a certain kind of person to do that to a child. You have to be, for various reasons, crazy and a career criminal.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
First, here are a few facts that should give you pause:
According to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), “More than 25 percent of college students have been diagnosed or treated by a professional for a mental health condition within the past year.”

NAMI: “One in four young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have [we claim] a diagnosable mental illness.”
According to healthline.com, 6.4 million American children between the ages of 4 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. The average age for the child’s diagnosis is 7.
BMJ 2016;352:i1457: “The number of UK children and adolescents treated with antidepressants rose by over 50% from 2005 to 2012, a study of five Western countries published in European Neuropsychopharmacology has found.”
Getting the picture?
Children are being diagnosed and dosed with toxic drugs at a staggering rate.
But, as I have shown in many past articles, NO so-called mental disorder is based on a lab test. No blood, saliva, genetic, brain test. ALL 300 or so official mental disorders are defined by menus of behaviors concocted by committees of psychiatrists.
On that foundation, the diagnoses and the drugs are handed out.
Let’s look at just one of the drugs: Ritalin (or any similar ADHD medicine). After a creative child is seen fidgeting in class, looking bored, studying what he wants to study, ignoring classroom assignments, focusing on what interests him, he is diagnosed with ADHD. Then comes the drug.
In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published an important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called “An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)” [v.21(7), pp. 837-841].
Scarnati listed a large number of adverse effects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms.
For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature:
* Paranoid delusions
* Paranoid psychosis
* Hypomanic and manic symptoms, amphetamine-like psychosis
* Activation of psychotic symptoms
* Toxic psychosis
* Visual hallucinations
* Auditory hallucinations
* Can surpass LSD in producing bizarre experiences
* Effects pathological thought processes
* Extreme withdrawal
* Terrified affect
* Started screaming
* Aggressiveness
* Insomnia
* Since Ritalin is considered an amphetamine-type drug, expect amphetamine-like effects
* Psychic dependence
* High-abuse potential DEA Schedule II Drug
* Decreased REM sleep
* When used with antidepressants one may see dangerous reactions including hypertension, seizures and hypothermia
* Convulsions
* Brain damage may be seen with amphetamine abuse.
Under this chemical assault on the brain, what are the chances that a creative child will go on in life to become an innovator, rather than a victim of psychiatric drugging?
Make a list of your favorite innovators. Imagine them as bored distracted children sitting in classrooms…and then diagnosed, and then hammered with drugs prescribed by a doctor.
This is happening now.
The institution of psychiatry is making it happen.
What about the consequences of diagnosing clinical depression in larger numbers of young children? What about the antidepressant drugs?
Here is just a sprinkling of information about antidepressants, from a huge body of literature:
Psychiatrist Peter Breggin: February 1990 American Journal of Psychiatry (Teicher et al, v.147:207-210) reports on “six depressed patients, previously free of recent suicidal ideation, who developed `intense, violent suicidal preoccupations after 2-7 weeks of fluoxetine [Prozac] treatment.’ The suicidal preoccupations lasted from three days to three months after termination of the treatment. The report estimates that 3.5 percent of Prozac users were at risk. While denying the validity of the study, Dista Products, a division of Eli Lilly, put out a brochure for doctors dated August 31, 1990, stating that it was adding `suicidal ideation’ to the adverse events section of its Prozac product information.”
An earlier study, from the September 1989 Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, by Joseph Lipiniski, Jr., indicates that in five examined cases people on Prozac developed what is called akathesia. Symptoms include intense anxiety, inability to sleep, the “jerking of extremities,” and “bicycling in bed or just turning around and around.” Dr. Peter Breggin comments that akathesia “may also contribute to the drug’s tendency to cause self-destructive or violent tendencies … Akathesia can become the equivalent of biochemical torture and could possibly tip someone over the edge into self-destructive or violent behavior … The June 1990 Health Newsletter, produced by the Public Citizen Research Group, reports, ‘Akathesia, or symptoms of restlessness, constant pacing, and purposeless movements of the feet and legs, may occur in 10-25 percent of patients on Prozac.’”
The well-known publication, California Lawyer, in a December 1998 article called “Protecting Prozac,” details some of the suspect maneuvers of Eli Lilly in its handling of suits against Prozac. California Lawyer also mentions other highly qualified critics of the drug: “David Healy, MD, an internationally renowned psychopharmacologist, has stated in sworn deposition that `contrary to Lilly’s view, there is a plausible cause-and-effect relationship between Prozac’ and suicidal-homicidal events. An epidemiological study published in 1995 by the British Medical Journal also links Prozac to increased suicide risk.”
When pressed, proponents of these SSRI antidepressant drugs (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc.) sometimes say, “Well, the benefits for the general population far outweigh the risk.” But the issue of benefits will not go away on that basis. A shocking review-study published in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases (1996, v.184, no.2), written by Rhoda L. Fisher and Seymour Fisher, called “Antidepressants for Children,” concludes: “Despite unanimous literature of double-blind studies indicating that antidepressants are no more effective than placebos in treating depression in children and adolescents, such medications continue to be in wide use.”
In wide use. This despite such contrary information and the negative, dangerous effects of these drugs.
There are other studies: “Emergence of self-destructive phenomena in children and adolescents during fluoxetine treatment,” published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (1991, vol.30), written by RA King, RA Riddle, et al. It reports self-destructive phenomena in 14% (6/42) of children and adolescents (10-17 years old) who had treatment with fluoxetine (Prozac) for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
July, 1991. Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Hisako Koizumi, MD, describes a thirteen-year-old boy who was on Prozac: “full of energy,” “hyperactive,” “clown-like.” All this devolved into sudden violent actions which were “totally unlike him.”
September, 1991. The Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Author Laurence Jerome reports the case of a ten-year old who moves with his family to a new location. Becoming depressed, the boy is put on Prozac by a doctor. The boy is then “hyperactive, agitated … irritable.” He makes a “somewhat grandiose assessment of his own abilities.” Then he calls a stranger on the phone and says he is going to kill him. The Prozac is stopped, and the symptoms disappear.
For money, for profit, for status, for control, there exists a professional class called psychiatrists. They approach children—particularly creative children who refuse to fall into lock-step with a regimented program of learning—as outliers, as ill, as strange, as maladjusted, as threats to the system. And this professional class takes action. Diagnose the children, drug them, bring them back into line, make them “normal,” reduce their curiosity and independence and drive and will power.
Instead of using overt physical force, they use relatively invisible chemical force.
Under the banner of caring, they perform, on the young, a scientific ritual of sacrifice, a rite of passage into the dead world where they, the elite rulers, exist.

TODD COONTZ, TELEVANGELIST, INDICTED AFTER TV INVESTIGATION

TELEVANGELIST INDICTED AFTER TV INVESTIGATION 
  republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
by: WSOCTV.com
Updated: Jun 23, 2017 – 8:11 AM
via WSOCTV.com
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A televangelist and so-called “prosperity preacher” with ties to Charlotte has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
Pastor Todd Coontz is accused of failing to pay taxes and filing false tax returns, as well as hiding assets that were paid for by donations. The U.S. attorney said, “This is a classic example of, ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’”
WSOCTV reporter Jim Bradley began investigating Coontz nearly five years ago.
As a cable TV evangelist, Coontz promised financial miracles for people who sent money to his ministry.
“You need to plant the $273 recovery seed. I’m only going to give you two to three minutes to respond,” Coontz once told his viewers.
Coontz posted videos on Twitter as recently as Wednesday, promising financial blessings to the faithful.
“Suddenly miracles are happening. I want to work with your faith for quick things, swift things,” Coontz said in the video.

In February 2013, a WSOC investigation revealed some of Coontz’s own “blessings,” which included a $1.38 million condo at a building on the corner of Providence and Sharon Amity roads. In the garage of that building was his Ferrari and his Maserati.
A federal criminal indictment on Thursday pointed to those exact same assets in WSOC’s investigation.
The condo was purchased by Coontz’s Rockwealth Ministries as “parsonage” for him, according to the indictment. The court documents said the cars were also titled in the name of the ministry.
The U.S. Secret Service started looking into Coontz and Rockwealth Ministries as a result of the WSOC investigation.
The indictment revealed delinquent tax returns from as far back as 2000. From 2010-2013, Coontz owed more than $326,000 in taxes.
Investigators said he also hid his income from the Internal Revenue Service by cashing checks he received from churches and ministries for travel and speaking engagements and then claiming that same travel as business expenses.
The indictment also revealed he used business funds to pay for personal expenses, such as more than $227,000 for clothes, $140,000 at restaurants and more than 400 charges at movie theaters.
Coontz’s defense attorney, Mark Foster, said the indictment makes allegations but isn’t proof.
“He’s otherwise is a good man,” Foster said. “He’s tried to do the right thing all his life and he has no criminal record. We’re going to fight this out.”
Foster said Coontz trusted others to manage his finances and taxes for him and was shocked to find out he was under criminal investigation by the IRS.
Coontz has been ordered to appear in federal court in Charlotte.
Statement from Coontz’s attorney:

“William Todd Coontz has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Charlotte on several criminal tax charges. Coontz unequivocally asserts his innocence of these charges. 

A grand jury is tasked only with determining whether there is probable cause to believe that a defendant has committed a federal crime. The government presents its evidence to the grand jury in secret and the defense cannot be present. Thus, the grand jury’s indictment of Coontz is not a determination of guilt — it is merely a preliminary finding that is necessary before the federal government can prosecute someone. 

The government has chosen to make a statement to the press about Mr. Coontz’s indictment. It must be remembered that Todd Coontz is presumed innocent. Todd Coontz has retained veteran federal criminal defense attorney Mark Foster to represent him in this case and will vigorously defend himself against these charges. Todd Coontz has always endeavored to follow the law and to be a good citizen, father and minister. He trusted others to manage his finances and taxes for him and was shocked to find out he was under criminal investigation by the IRS.

HUNGARY LEADS CENTRAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AGAINST MUSLIM MASS MIGRATION

 
HUNGARY LEADS CENTRAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AGAINST MUSLIM MASS MIGRATION 
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
An alliance of Central European countries led by Hungary has pledged to work together to stem the flow of illegal migrants into Europe.
It is refreshing to see countries in Central Europe finally stand up and defend their borders, and reject the suicidal immigration policies that have led other European countries into massive crime, debt and escalating jihad attacks.
Delegations to the Central European Defence Cooperation have declared themselves “united against mass illegal migration”; which is tantamount to saying that they are “united against the hijrah.”
An additional difficulty with unvetted migrants swarming Western borders has been contagious illnesses. A Yemini asylum seeker with tuberculosis who visited a kindergarten class in Germany several times is said to have possibly infected up to “18 children and four adults with the disease.”

“Hungarians Declare: ‘Central Europe Stands United Against Mass Illegal Migration’”, Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, June 21, 2017:
An alliance of Central European countries led by Hungary has pledged to work together to stem the flow of illegal migrants into Europe at a meeting in Prague.
Delegations to the Central European Defence Cooperation (CEDC) group from Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic were, according to a report on the Hungarian government’s official website, “united against mass illegal migration”.
Defence ministers at the summit agreed to “facilitate the quick and joint mobilization of civilian, police and military capabilities” in defence of the European Union’s external borders.
Elaborating on the reasons behind Hungary’s robust anti-mass immigration stance, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán explained: “What we want is a Hungarian Hungary and a European Europe.”
The Fidesz leader said his government “won’t participate in experiments aimed at changing Hungary or Europe, in which Europe’s cultural traditions would be swept aside to be replaced by a mixture of other cultures, religions and worldviews, allowing masses to enter without control”…..

Delaware State Senate Opening Prayer: 

Sheikh Tarek Ewis and Dr. Naveed Baqir

 
FROM:  
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 At a Delaware Senate meeting, Air Force veteran Sen. Dave Lawson (R-Marydel) was shocked to hear two Muslims take the floor to recite an Islamic prayer to Allah. From the same book that calls for the death of nearly everyone in the room – nonetheless, almost all of the non-Muslim Senate members bowed their heads in worship to the Muslim god.
Lawson knew what he had to do. He stepped up to the plate and laid the smack down, while the others could only wish they had the minerals to tell it like it is: Scroll down for video Hat tip Delaware Online

“We just heard from the Quran, which calls for our very demise,” Lawson said after the pair of Muslims gave the invocation, including a passage from their holy text. “I fought for this country, not to be damned by someone that comes in here and prays to their God for our demise. I think that’s despicable.”
To back up Lawson, there are indeed passages from the Quran that advocate violence against non-Muslims including executions. That there are some Muslims who take those passages literally and put them into practice can be seen on the evening news.

Tarek Ewis, imam of the Masjid Isa Ibn-e-Maryam mosque in Newark, and Naveed Baqir, executive director of the Delaware Council on Global and Muslim Affairs, were invited to give the Senate invocation.
Lawson and Sen. Colin Bonini, R-Dover South, stepped out of the chamber for the prayer. They re-entered when the speakers had finished, and Lawson gave a brief speech, saying he “took great exception” to the reading from the Quran.
After Lawson’s comments, the Senate proceeded as normal, debating and passing several bills. But before the chamber adjourned later in the evening, President Pro Tempore David McBride, D-New Castle, halted, saying he felt “there is complicity in remaining silent.”
“I have never been of the mind to censure the words of other members, but I also believe deeply that words have consequences,” McBride said, reading aloud from a statement.
“Their belief flies in the face of our Constitution,” Lawson said afterward. “This is not our Bible, we should not be allowing them to pray from that book in our house, just as I do not believe I would be allowed to pray from my Bible in their house.”

DEEP STATE TRIO: COMEY, ROSENSTEIN & MUELLER, AIM TO DESTROY TRUMP

DEEP STATE TRIO: COMEY, ROSENSTEIN & MUELLER, AIM TO DESTROY TRUMP
BY KELLEIGH NELSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.  None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. —Isaiah 59:3-4 KJV
Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller

While everyone is looking at Robert Mueller as the culprit in this witch hunt of our President, we had better take a closer look at Rosenstein, the Deputy AG who appointed Mueller as special counsel for the DOJ and establishment infiltration.  Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are long time affiliates.
Never Trumpers Infiltrate Administration

Roger Stone feels that the Never Trumpers have infiltrated the administration via Reince Priebus, but I believe VP Pence is also responsible. How else does one explain CFR member, Dina Habib Powell, best friend of Valerie Jarrett, Huma Abedin, and CFR member Condoleezza Rice? Powell is Arabic and a former Goldman Sachs employee. She is the current U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy to President Donald Trump under McMaster. She is also an Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Economic Initiatives.
Powell is being promoted by Jared and Ivanka to be our President’s next Chief of Staff, yet throughout her career Powell has opposed everything Trump stands for. As Stone says, this would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire, when there are already way too many quislings in the administration whose allegiance belongs, not to Donald Trump, but to the RNC, and that appears to be true for Rod Rosenstein.

Rod Rosenstein, Deputy AG
Harvard graduate Rosenstein was nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States DOJ on January 13, 2017. Rosenstein was confirmed on April 25, 2017.  This certainly does not mean he’s a conservative, or an anti-globalist.
I would love to know who suggests these people, and then who vets them for our President…perhaps Pence and Priebus? There are only a few in this administration who are truly conservative, and one of them is already gone, General Michael Flynn, and several others never even made it to confirmation.
Rosenstein is being hailed as a brilliant choice who is admired and respected and completely free of controversy.  Excuse me, but wasn’t Comey hailed with the same exact rhetoric before he angered the left, and disappointed the right?
Leftist Slate Magazine stated that Rosenstein would be a good check against Jeff Sessions, and the Washington Com-Post even called Rosenstein a fabulous choice for the position and completely free of controversy!  Bah Humbug!  Obviously, he’s an establishment insider if these leftist rags love him.
Rosenstein and Mueller
Rosenstein joined the U.S. Department of Justice through the Attorney General’s Honors Program. From 1990 to 1993, he prosecuted public corruption cases as a trial attorney with the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division, then led by Assistant Attorney General Robert Mueller.  They’ve been joined at the hip for a long, long time.
Mueller and Rosenstein are both part of the “Deep State.”  In fact, as Stone reports, both of them have ties to the Bush machine.  Remember the Clinton theft of FBI documents?  Craig Livingstone, director of the White House Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission.

Mueller served as clean up man for Bill and Hillary Clinton.  As independent counsel from 1995 to 1997, he found no criminal prosecution against White House officials who had rummaged through FBI records to get background reports in the use of political blackmail.
In 2001, top Justice Department official Lee J. Radek, roundly criticized for steering the China gate probe away from the White House, had a friend in Robert S. Mueller, President Bush’s pick to replace FBI Director Louis Freeh.  Radek ran the campaign finance task force that was charged with looking into rampant 1996 Clinton-Gore fund-raising abuses that included Chinese money-laundering and possible influence-peddling.  Many branded Radek a “bureaucrat” who was more interested in throttling the case against the Clinton White House, and thereby keeping his job, than pushing it.  Mueller even received a glowing endorsement from China cheerleaders like Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Hillary Clinton. [Link]
In the 1990s, Rosenstein was on a team of prosecutors appointed by Kenneth Starr to investigate Bill and Hillary Clinton’s “Whitewater” business dealings in Arkansas. In 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder tapped him to investigate national security leaks to news outlets, a response to heavy criticism of the Obama administration by congressional Republicans.  Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr exonerated both President Clinton and the First Lady with respect to the FBI files matter in 1998.  And Ken Starr is telling the President not to fire Mueller.
Clintons and Comey
In the mid-1990s, Comey joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to an Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton, but the scandal would eventually lead to independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s probe that would result in the Lewinsky scandal.
How about the Sandy Berger affair?  Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, who was sentenced in 2005 to two-years’ probation and fined $50,000 as the result of a plea bargain, for stealing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them.  He had also been functioning as a Hillary Clinton campaign adviser before his death last December.
James Comey, was the deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, and apparently limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger.  The documents Berger stole basically proved Bill Clinton could have gone after and killed Osama bin laden, but didn’t, proving he was negligent in the build-up to the 9/11 terrorist attack.
As I mentioned in my previous article, Comey also gave Bill Clinton a pass with his pardon of Marc Rich and others.  Then came his pass on Hillary and her email debacle, where she set up a private email server for herself, her family and Abedin which was not accessible by the federal government or congress, and on which classified documents were passed.
Hillary Clinton violated the Espionage Act of 1913 by allowing national defense information to be “lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed” through “gross negligence.”  And get this, Comey had Hillary Clinton’s definitive backup email device during the entire charade of an investigation into the former Secretary of State, according to court records obtained by Judicial Watch.
Godfather of Comey’s Daughter is Pence Lawyer
Here is a timeline of Comey’s career, note that he worked for McGuire Woods law firm from 1993-1996.  VP Pence’s office confirmed that he retained Richard Cullen, chairman of McGuire Woods LLP, to assist him in responding to inquiries by special counsel Robert Mueller.  Cullen and Comey used to work together at McGuire Woods, and Richard Cullen is the Godfather to one of Comey’s daughters.  Too close for comfort if you ask me.
Comey / Mueller Buddy-Buddy Connections
The fact that Robert Mueller, the former FBI head who “bungled” the post-9/11 anthrax attack, is leading the “Russia-gate” investigation should be a matter of grave concern for Americans.  Mueller’s appointment to investigate our President for sacking Comey is a conflict of interest, especially since they have worked closely together in the past.
“Former Director Mueller is exactly the right kind of individual for this job. I now have significantly greater confidence that the investigation will follow the facts wherever they lead.” Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) stated. Schumer, Dick Durbin and other Democrats echoed these comments, along with neo-cons John McCain and Paul Ryan, which should worry constitutional conservatives.
Plamegate
Remember in 2003, Valerie Plame’s name being inadvertently leaked by Richard Armitage who confessed to his boss, Colin Powell?  This was a scheme against Vice President Cheney that ended in the conviction of his aide, Scooter Libby, for a weakly proven process crime.  Tag team Comey was the special prosecutor and Mueller was FBI Director.  They may well have honed their Deep State purge of political opponents then, something clearly at the bottom of this investigation into fictional “Russian collusion” and now “Obstruction of Justice” with the Trump campaign. [Link]
Amerithrax
Comey is a very close friend of Mueller, and covered for the erstwhile director in the Amerithrax affair and the upcoming inquiry could very well be a quid pro quo transaction.
Mueller thought he had his man in the bungled Anthrax investigation because two drug sniffing doggies liked scientist Steven Hatfill when he petted them.  Mueller used this flimsy proof on this conservative government scientist, when in fact, the FBI ignored a 2002 tip from a scientific colleague of the alleged anthrax killer, who turned out to be a Fort Detrick scientist named Bruce Edwards Ivins.  There was no firm proof he was responsible either, and he ended up committing suicide.  Comey seconded Mueller’s opinion, and they were both wrong.
Also check out Comey and Mueller’s showdown at John Ashcroft’s hospital bed.  Link
And don’t forget Mueller’s purposely botched probe and coverup of the BCCI scandal.
Mueller and Islam
Robert Mueller purged FBI training documents after 9/11. As reported by Rick Wells, FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom spoke to Maria Bartiromo.  The topic of the interview shifted to the issue of the real collusion, that of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR taking a prominent role and infiltrating the FBI. He described how the White House, under both George W. Bush and the Obama regime and the FBI, including specifically Robert Mueller, changed to accommodate the demands of the terrorist front organization after the Twin Towers came down.  Mueller acquiesced with Muslim Brotherhood front group, CAIR.
He also met with Nihad Awad, executive director of Hamas doing business as CAIR, as well as senior leadership of the Islamic Institute, the American Muslim Council and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (all Muslim Brotherhood affiliates) in 2002 at FBI headquarters.
In 2005, under Mueller’s administration, the FBI presented an award to Mohamed Magid, the imam of the infamous ADAMS center – a hardline Wahhabis mosque – and the president of ISNA.
There have been several other instances of Mueller’s Muslim Brotherhood collusion and investigative “incompetence.”
In 2013, Mueller testified that he was unaware that the mosque attended by the Tsarnaev brothers, the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing that resulted in three deaths and close to 300 injuries, was founded by Al Qaeda financier Abdurahman Alamoudi.  Incredibly, Mueller’s department had been conducting “outreach” activities with the facility’s imam at the time.
Gohmert Exposed Mueller as Terrorist Facilitator
Rep. Louis Gohmert, (R-TX) knows what Robert Mueller is, and does not share the fawning reverence for him as the DC swamp creatures do.  Mueller, has a long record of being an official cover man for jihadists choosing to operate in the United States. Remember the fact that Mueller purged all of the FBI training materials and other records which indicated reference to Islamic terrorism in the months following the 9/11 attacks, but then he also ignored warnings about the Tsarnaev brothers and never even attempted to investigate their mosque.
Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records back in 2013 documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015.  Read the full report.
When Gohmert questioned Mueller two months after the Boston bombing, he forced admissions from him of his failures or complicity in creating the situation in which the terrorist attacks occurred.  Here’s the full story.

Many Uncomfortable with Mueller
Why should we be uncomfortable with Mueller? 1) The leftist establishment is comfortable with him. 2) He worked in tandem with Comey on a couple of high profile cases. 3) He was chosen as FBI head by George W. Bush (hater of Trump and owner of the words “That was some weird shit,” in describing Trump’s Inauguration speech. 4) Obama felt so comfortable with Mueller that upon taking office he extended Mueller’s ten-year tenure an additional two years.
Not exactly a resume I feel comfortable in handing our president’s fate over to.
Conclusion
One way to counter the Mueller probe is to discredit Mueller, using the facts about his terrible treatment of a series of American scientists in the anthrax case. In the end, the FBI paid off one scientist, to the tune of millions of dollars in damages, and drove another to his death. Meanwhile, the al-Qaeda operatives who carried out the attacks got away. That Mueller could survive this debacle with a sterling reputation is evidence of the corruption in the Washington, D.C. swamp.
Next up, Mueller hires 13 lawyers for this phony Russian probe and plans to hire more.

MINNEAPOLIS SETS UP HOTLINE FOR MUSLIMS 
TO REPORT ISLAMOPHOBIA
BY ROBERT SPENCER

This is Minneapolis, a hotbed of jihad terror activity. But the city doesn’t set up a helpline for Muslims to report jihad activity. Oh, no. That would be “Islamophobic.” This is a helpline for Muslims to report incidents of “Islamophobia,” including, no doubt, rude remarks that are not criminal, and accurate analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror activity.
“Hate speech hotlines operate as government enforcement of fascism,” said former Rep. Michele Bachmann. “They are a denial of free speech and the very definition of government censorship. Looking for government informants to rat out speech the government forbids goes to the heart of denying American citizens our inalienable rights. Governments CAN NOT do this under our constitution.”
Indeed. But no one seems to care very much about that anymore.

“Minneapolis installs Shariah hotline for ‘hate speech’ snitches,” by Leo Hohmann, WND, June 21, 2017:
The city of Minneapolis has set up a hotline for residents to report suspected hate crimes, including “speech and actions,” according to statements on the city’s website.
The city, which will operate the “service” through its 3-1-1 helpline, is targeting any “harassing behaviors motivated by prejudice,” according to a press release. Those wishing to report a hate crime from outside the city may dial 612-673-3000.
According to the local newspaper, the Star-Tribune, “the announcement comes amid signs of a recent surge of such incidents affecting Muslims and Jews across the country, many of which go unreported.”
The city’s Department of Civil Rights clearly states on its website that it only enforces hate crimes against certain “protected classes.”
A city official further indicated the impetus for the hate-crimes hotline was the election of President Trump and that the targets would be his supporters.
“Since the general election, many of us have experienced, witnessed firsthand or heard of actions of: racism, xenophobia, sexism and bigotry directed at people here and in cities across the United States,” Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Director Velma Korbel wrote in a statement posted on the city’s website. “In no uncertain terms, hate-motivated speech and actions have no place in Minneapolis nor will they be tolerated.”
Korbel said the city’s tough stance on “hate” is reflected in the views of its mayor, Betsy Hodges. Korbel states on the city website:
This department echoes Minneapolis mayor, Betsy Hodges’ resolve and commitment when she stated: “I will not compromise the public safety of the people of Minneapolis to satisfy Trump’s desire to put politics before public safety. Minneapolis is being built and strengthened by people from all over the world and I am grateful for their commitment to our city. I stand with them today and will continue to take that stand as the President-elect prepares to take office.”
Michele Bachmann, former congresswoman from Minnesota, decried the new hotline as a form of fascism in which citizens are encouraged to turn in their neighbors for holding opinions deemed forbidden by the state.
She said such prior restraints are not allowed under the U.S. Constitution and would not hold up in court.
“Hate speech hotlines operate as government enforcement of fascism,” she said in an email to WND. “They are a denial of free speech and the very definition of government censorship.
“Looking for government informants to rat out speech the government forbids goes to the heart of denying American citizens our inalienable rights. Governments CAN NOT do this under our constitution.”
Bachmann said the hate-crime hotline is a stealth move by Hodges and the city council to impose Islamic anti-blasphemy laws on non-Muslims.
“By installing Islamic anti-blasphemy hotlines and advertising for informants, Minneapolis is violating the doctrine of separation of church and state,” she added. “What difference is there between the Minneapolis City Council action and United Nations resolution 16/18 advanced by former Secretary Hillary Clinton?”
U.N Resolution 16/18 encouraged nations to criminalize speech that defames a person’s religious views.
Pushed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the only speech the resolution sought to criminalized was speech critical of Islam, Bachmann said. After years of failure, the resolution only passed after the language was somewhat watered down.
“Which is interesting, since the OIC continually proclaims death to the Jews, death to Israel,” she said. “The citizens of Minneapolis surely can’t be that easily bamboozled into giving away their First Amendment rights to free of speech.”…

The press release announcing the new hotline gives a broad definition of “discrimination,” citing any “action or a decision that treats a person or a group negatively for reasons such as their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity.”
The release also places local police on notice, stating:
If you, your family or someone you know experiences discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, sex, LGBT status or other protected classes, or has been the victim of police misconduct, please call 612-673-3012 or visit www.minneapolismn.gov/civilrights.
Shahram Hadian, whose family fled Iran in the run-up to the Islamic revolution in 1978, said he was aghast at the Minneapolis hotline.
“This is ultimately what they got passed up in Canada. But this is the backdoor approach to eventually setting up hate speech laws … hate crimes morph into hate speech,” said Hadian, a former law enforcement officer turned pastor who heads Truth In Love Ministries.
“It’s crazy to think my family left Iran because of the impending Islamic State to come to this nation because of its freedom – and what other freedom is more precious than your freedom of speech? – and now to see this backdoor attempt to try to impose hate speech laws.”
Hadian said there would be no logical need for a special hate hotline because the federal government already has hate-crime laws on the books.
“This is trying to normalize the concept of trying to turn people in, and if that doesn’t send shivers down your spine when you think of 1930s Germany, nothing will,” Hadian said.
The Minneapolis City Council last fall passed a resolution condemning violence and hate speech against Muslims.
Hadian said he has no doubt that the Minneapolis officials will seek to target Christians with the new snitch line.
“Obviously it’s moving toward Shariah compliance. This is what Europe has done,” he said. “You have people arrested there, various examples of it, and charged with crimes for something they said about Islam. So this is a back-door attempt to get hate speech laws on the books and to create the environment of normalcy where you’re going to see Christians turned in to the government because we are either speaking about Christianity or because we’re speaking factually about Islam.
“It’s a violation of our fundamental rights under the First Amendment. That’s chilling, and it’s so disturbing and underhanded what they’re doing, to say, ‘Let’s start turning people in whom we don’t agree with.’”
Hadian said the hotline will have a chilling effect on pastors and lecturers in Minnesota.
“So what, the next time I give a presentation, if someone gets offended, are they going to report me?” he said. “That’s where we’re headed with this.”
Outside of Minneapolis-St. Paul and Duluth, every county in Minnesota voted for Trump in the November general election.
The people of Minnesota are growing tired of the coercive rule of intolerant Democrats like Hodges and Gov. Mark Dayton, said Debra Anderson, who chairs the state’s ACT! For America chapter.
“Communities throughout Minnesota are suffering greatly from the never-ending demands of Muslims and their civilization jihad, and there is growing alarm about the increasing threats of and acts of violence perpetrated by Muslims against non-Muslims (jihad terrorism),” Anderson wrote in an email.
“This resolution and the hate-speech hotline serves to not only invalidate the legitimate concerns of indigenous Minnesotans, but also to silence them,” she said. “I find myself thinking, ‘While our government leaders’ fundamentally transform our communities (destroy America),’ they command, ‘Don’t you dare utter a peep … or else!’
“Unfortunately, this is only one of many examples of how our ‘captured’ government is striving to fundamentally transform the Land of 10,000 Lakes into Marxist/Islamist utopia that does not tolerate dissidents or infidels.”
Bob Enos, another Minnesotan, who recently ran for city council in Willmar, said he believes the hotline is patently unconstitutional if it bans or seeks to chill any type of speech.
“Free speech has never been a crime under the U.S. Constitution, hateful or otherwise,” he said.
A search of the Star-Tribune’s stories printed since Jan. 1, 2017, lists only one alleged hate crime against Muslims.
“This new hotline is nothing but a red herring, designed to ingratiate Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges to the growing Somali voting bloc. Hence, her photos donning the Muslim hijab,” Enos said.
Enos said it was significant that Islamic preachers are exempt from the hate crimes prosecuted by Minneapolis, because they are regarded as a “protected class.”
“After all, the Quran contains at least 109 verses which promote graphic violence against all non-believers; most especially Jews,” he said. “So, is not any cleric who promotes the teachings of the Quran also promoting hate speech?
“This enforcement of standards of speech that Minneapolis’ Democratic leadership finds acceptable is Minneapolis’ version of an intellectual Taliban.”

U.S. SPECIAL FORCES HAVE "BOOTS ON THE GROUND" IN PHILIPPINES

U.S. SPECIAL FORCES HAVE 
"BOOTS ON THE GROUND" IN PHILIPPINES 
BY ALEX NEWMAN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
American Special Forces have “boots on the ground” and are helping Philippine troops and police fight Islamist rebels in the Southern town of Marawi, according to U.S. and local officials cited in news reports around the world. The news comes after firebrand Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte, accused of extra-judicial killings as part of his war on drugs, repeatedly threatened to evict all U.S. troops from the Philippines. A number of legal concerns have been raised surrounding the operations for both governments. However, with officials and media outlets arguing that the fighting is aimed at stopping Islamists supposedly “loyal” to the Islamic State (ISIS), even as U.S. forces bomb the enemies of ISIS in Syria, the legal issues have been mostly swept under the rug so far.
The ongoing battle, which centers around the largely Islamic town of Marawi on Mindanao island, began in May, when Islamist militants under the leadership of alleged terrorist Isnilon Hapilon overran the area. Since then, Filipino forces, with U.S. support, have been battling those jihadists with bombs, planes, and guns, leaving the town of some 200,000 people looking like a “ghost town,” reporters said. According to media reports citing officials, hundreds of “militants” have been killed in the fighting, along with more than 50 soldiers and dozens of civilians. As of last week, some 20 percent of the city was reportedly still under the control of the rebels, whom various officials and media reports have said are trying to create a new province for the Islamic State “Caliphate” in the predominantly Catholic Philippines. The entire island of Mindanao is under martial law, and the city is reportedly close to ruins.

The Filipino military officials and U.S. embassy officials who admitted the role of U.S. troops there have all claimed that American forces were not actually involved in combat. Technically, that may be correct, if combat includes only shooting. However, despite earlier official statements claiming there were not even U.S. boots “on the ground” near the hostilities, it turns out that American forces are, indeed, operating “on the ground” in and around Marawi, and presumably they are all wearing boots. U.S. troops are reportedly helping with everything from training local forces to gathering intelligence and conducting surveillance. A local camera crew even caught a group of American operatives flying a drone from a truck near the battlefield.    
The U.S. embassy in Manila confirmed that U.S. forces were aiding Filipino authorities in the war, but denied that they were involved in combat operations. “At the request of the government of the Philippines, U.S. special operations forces are assisting the AFP with ongoing operations in Marawi that helps AFP commanders on the ground in their fight against Maute and ASG militants,” an embassy spokesperson was quoted as saying, with ASG referring to the Islamist Abu Sayyaf group and the AFP a reference to the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The U.S. military also confirmed that Special Forces were giving “security assistance and training” to their counterparts in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. “For security reasons, we are not able to to discuss specific technical details,” the Pentagon statement added.
And finally, Filipino military officials confirmed the scheming as well. Brigadier-General Restituto Padilla, for example, while he denied that U.S. troops were actually in combat, admitted that the group of men captured on film operating drones from a truck were in fact U.S. troops. “In a battle the most important item for the commander is to be able to determine what is happening,” Padilla said to explain why the U.S. troops were doing that. “It’s called situational awareness and that is the sort of assistance being given.” He did admit, too, that American forces were carrying rifles and were authorized to shoot if fired upon, which is fairly standard when U.S. troops assist their foreign counterparts on or near a battlefield. In a strange twist, President Duterte claimed repeatedly he was not aware of U.S. aid amid the battle.
It was not clear under what constitutional authority U.S. forces were supposedly operating under in the latest clashes to break out in the Philippines. But there have been no declarations of war by Congress authorizing the intervention. Instead of the constitutionally required declaration, U.S. officials have argued that the support for Filipino forces was part of a “counter-terrorism” program. An official statement cited in press reports also noted that U.S. Special Forces have been providing “support and assistance” to their counterparts in the Philippines “for many years,” as if that legitimized it. Various establishment media organs and officials have implied that a mutual defense treaty from the 1951 even requires U.S. forces to aid the Filipino government.
The U.S. Constitution, of course, requires that the U.S. Congress issue an official declaration of war before the United States is committed to war. The Founders insisted on it, because they wanted the American people's elected representatives to have a proper debate prior to entering a war. They also sought to prevent a situation in which one person could embroil America in foreign conflicts. And yet, the last time Congress actually declared war was during World War II. Since then, legal quackery has been used to develop a variety of pseudo-“legal arguments” purporting to authorize the deployment of U.S. troops to fight all manner of wars abroad. On more than a few occasions — most recently in Libya, with disastrous effects — U.S. forces have been illegally used to overthrow foreign governments under the guise of enforcing unconstitutional United Nations resolutions. But in theory, at least, the Constitution remains the supreme law of the land.
It was also not clear whether the U.S. operations were legal or authorized under Filipino law. As far as the Philippines is concerned, the deployment of U.S. troops might be considered unconstitutional, according to news reports and various analysts. The Filipino Constitution prohibits foreign combat troops operating on Philippines' soil. But top officials were quick to deny that the support being provided so far was unconstitutional. “What is prohibited under the Constitution is the joining of U.S. troops in actual combat,” Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II was quoted as arguing in news reports. “But sharing of intelligence and equipment is allowed under the EDCA (Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement).” The EDCA is the legal agreement that purports to authorize the U.S. military presence in the Philippines.
While President Duterte conceded that his military men were very pro-American, public calls for evicting U.S. troops have been growing louder for years. Duterte himself, who often speaks in obscenities and even described former U.S. President Obama as the offspring of a prostitute, using more vulgar terms, has expressed outrage toward the U.S. government on multiple occasions. In view of his disagreements between the two sides, he appears to be hoping for a stronger alliance with the Communist Chinese dictatorship in Beijing instead. Much of the press coverage of his administration in the international media has focused on his highly controversial war on drugs and widespread allegations of extra-judicial killings of drug dealers. Some analysts have argued that his allegedly narrow focus on fighting drugs left the Philippines vulnerable to jihadists groups, as evidenced most recently by the takeover of Marawi.  
Of course, on the campaign trail, then-candidate Donald Trump hit the nail on the head when he exposed the true origins of ISIS. Far from being some sort of organic development, official U.S. military documents revealed that the Obama administration and its allies — including Arab dictators and European governments — were supporting an uprising in Syria that they knew was led by al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. One of the goals, according to a 2012 U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency document obtained by Judicial Watch, was the creation of a “salafist principality” in Eastern Syria. Today, that principality is known as the Islamic State, or ISIS. “In many respects, ISIS is honoring President Obama,” Trump said at a campaign rally, referring to Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama. “He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder. He founded ISIS. And I would say the co-founder would be Crooked Hillary Clinton.”
Instead of getting American troops embroiled in all sorts of foreign quarrels and wars, and squandering American money and lives variously supporting and then opposing both dictators and terrorists, Congress and the Trump administration should follow the Constitution and the advice of America's Founders. That means, first of all, no more committing U.S. troops to conflicts without a proper declaration of war, as required by the Constitution — and that, following a thorough debate on the objectives and merits of U.S. involvement. Second, it means Washington, D.C., must quit going abroad seeking “monsters to destroy,” as John Quincy Adams put it. Not only would that save American lives and vast sums of taxpayer wealth, it would also probably leave the world a better place. Plus, it's the law. The people and the authorities of the Philippines are perfectly capable of handling these problems without U.S. “help.”

OTTO WARMBIER DIED OF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, NOT BOTULISM AS CLAIMED BY HIS TORTURERS

OTTO WARMBIER DIED OF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION, 
NOT BOTULISM AS CLAIMED BY HIS TORTURERS
BY BOB ADELMANN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
 
The pain and grief suffered by the parents of Otto Warmbier, the American college student sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster while in North Korea last year, was evident in their statement issued Monday afternoon:
It is our sad duty to report that our son, Otto Warmbier, has completed his journey home. Surrounded by his loving family, Otto died today in 2:20pm.
It would be easy at a moment like this to focus on all that we lost — future time that won't be spent with a warm, engaging, brilliant young man whose curiosity and enthusiasm for life knew no bounds. But we choose to focus on the time we were given to be with this remarkable person. You can tell from the outpouring of emotion from the communities that he touched — Wyoming, Ohio and the University of Virginia to name just two — that the love for Otto went well beyond his immediate family.
The statement put the lie to the claim by his captors that Otto died as a result of botulism early in his captivity. Instead, he died as a result of torture:
We would like to thank the wonderful professionals at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center who did everything they could for Otto. Unfortunately, the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible beyond the sad one we experienced today.

President Donald Trump’s condolences to Otto’s family reflected the same assessment:
Otto's fate deepens my Administration's determination to prevent such tragedies from befalling innocent people at the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency. The United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim.
Former Ambassador to the UN John Bolton called Otto’s treatment at the hands of North Korea “barbaric but typical,” adding, “This is a regime that’s capable of almost anything.”
After running a series of tests on the comatose young man, officials at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center said that his “extensive loss of brain tissue” suggested that his brain lost its blood supply for an extended period of time early in his captivity. Wikipedia’s summary of those tests reveals the extent of the brain damage Warmbier suffered at the hands of his captors:
Neurologist Daniel Kanter, director of the neurocritical care program at University of Cincinnati Medical Center, said on June 15 that Warmbier was in "a state of unresponsive wakefulness" — a condition commonly known as persistent vegetative state. He was able to breathe on his own, and blink his eyes, but otherwise did not respond to his environment.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed he had suffered extensive loss of brain tissue throughout his brain. Kanter stated that Warmbier's brain injury was typical of a cardiac arrest that caused the brain to be denied oxygen.
Doctors also said that they did not find any evidence of physical abuse or torture; scans of Warmbier's neck and head were normal outside of the brain injury. Doctors said they did not know what caused the cardiac arrest, but that it could have been triggered by a respiratory arrest, while a neurointensive care specialist at the hospital stated that there was no evidence indicating botulism.
Part of the regimen of brutality in North Korea’s “torture camps” includes immersing prisoners in water tanks up to their noses. In FoxNews.com’s story covering the matter, one female prisoner “indicated that she was fully immersed in cold water for hours. Only when she stood on her tiptoes would her nose be barely above the water level.” Added FoxNews, “It’s possible that drowning could have led to the kind of oxygen deprivation that Warmbier’s doctors are reportedly seeing.”
This is standard procedure for the dictatorship, according to Joshua Stanton. An attorney with 18 years of both military and civilian experience in the “art” of North Korean torture techniques who frequently testifies before congressional committees about North Korea’s atrocities, Stanton wrote:
By North Korean standards [Warmbier's treatment] was entirely ordinary. For North Koreans, brutality is an everyday fear, whether they’re market traders being extorted and beaten by corrupt MSS officers, women refugees who are beaten after being repatriated by China, women in Kangan Province who are raped by soldiers with impunity, or the child prisoners in places like Camp 16, where death rates may be as high as 20 percent each year.
To suggest that Warmbier’s death was caused by botulism is a canard fostered by the sub-humans running North Korea. In a tearful network interview, Otto’s father Fred Warmbier said, “We don’t believe anything that they say. There’s no excuse for the way the North Koreans treated our son.” His father added that Otto was “brutalized and terrorized by the pariah regime.”
