DNC Chair Donna Brazile said there was nothing corrupt about Hillary Clinton's actions in using the State Department in a "pay-to-play" scheme. Her statements echo the state department spokesperson who scoffed at the transparency of the State Department, thinking it was a joke. President Obama also denied that our system was corrupt, saying our system isn’t “rigged,” despite sending UN Monitors to oversee our 2016 election. Margaret Howell reports.

FBI INTERVIEW CATCHES HILLARY CLINTON IN MULTIPLE LIES~DIDN'T RECALL 39 TIMES~13 DIFFERENT MOBILE DEVICES FOR 2 PHONE NUMBERS
FBI INTERVIEW CATCHES HILLARY CLINTON IN MULTIPLE LIES

The FBI just released notes from its July 2 interview with Hillary Clinton about her use of a private, unsecured email server during her tenure as secretary of State. Their findings don’t look good for Clinton.
Days after the interview, which was not recorded, FBI director James Comey publicly held a press conference urging the Department of Justice not to press any criminal charges against Clinton, despite her “extremely careless” handling of classified information.
In the FBI report, Clinton made statements that appear to either contradict her earlier remarks about the email scandal or to be flat-out lies.
Clinton has repeatedly said she has turned over all of her work-related emails on her private server, but the FBI report stated they found 17,448 emails she failed to turn over to the Inspector General.

Several weeks after the initial New York Times story broke in March 2015, revealing the existence of Clinton’s private email server, a bunch of these emails were deleted.

Clinton told the FBI that she didn’t pay attention to the different levels of classification, and that she didn’t understand that an email containing a “(C)” meant “classified,” but that she thought they were marked “alphabetical order.”
Her claims of ignorance — whether they’re true or not — violate an agreement she signed during her first day on the job in the State Department.
From the very beginning of her tenure as secretary of State, Clinton signed a non-disclosure agreement acknowledging that it was her responsibility to ascertain whether documents contained classified information. She also acknowledged the criminal penalties she would face if she disclosed government secrets.
Clinton told FBI she didn't know a "(C)" denoted classified information. She "could only speculate it was… marked in alphabetical order.”— Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) September 2, 2016

In 2011, State Department employees reportedly received a memo sent on Clinton’s behalf warning them against using personal email accounts for official business, as it could put sensitive information at risk. She told the FBI she didn’t remember sending that memo.
Whenever she upgraded to a new device, the State Department would sometimes lose track of her old ones. On two occasions, staffers destroyed her old devices by beating it with a hammer.

Throughout her time in the State Department, Hillary Clinton went through13 different Blackberry devices — none of which she found or turned over to the FBI.
Former secretary of State Colin Powell warned Clinton about the dangers of using a personal device, because if it came out, then all her private emails would be subject to public scrutiny — a conversation she refuses to talk about publicly.

SOROS EXPOSED PLOTTING TO NATIONALIZE AMERICAN POLICE
SOROS EXPOSED PLOTTING TO NATIONALIZE AMERICAN POLICE
BY ALEX NEWMAN
SEE: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/23979-soros-exposed-plotting-to-nationalize-american-police; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Billionaire statist George Soros has been helping Obama and globalist forces to federalize control over American police forces under the guise of pushing “criminal justice reform,” hacked e-mails and documents from his shadowy Open Society “philanthropic” empire revealed. From funneling tens of millions to radical activist groups and race-mongers to building what leaked documents refer to as a “national movement” to “reform” law-enforcement and working with the White House to do it, Soros fingerprints can be found all over the growing anti-police chaos that has enveloped U.S. cities in recent years. The agenda is clear: stripping communities of self-government and imposing federal cops.
The Soros plot outlined in Open Society Foundation documents involves, among other elements, helping Obama impose his United Nations-backed “guidelines” and “standards” on American police departments — at least at first. Eventually, the goal is to impose a national police force on America accountable not to local communities, as has traditionally and constitutionally been the case for centuries, but to the increasingly lawless federal executive branch. The implications for freedom and self-government of transferring control over police to the White House are massive.
As The New American has been reporting for decades, the establishment's long-term goal is to centralize all coercive power in its own hands. A national police force — or at least federally controlled state and local police departments — are a crucial component of that agenda. While grassroots efforts and constitutional limitations on federal power have made the goal hard to achieve, the Obama administration has made more progress on nationalizing law-enforcement than any other president in U.S. history. Soros, widely ridiculed as “Dr. Evil” by critics, has helped in a major way.
Unsurprisingly, Soros minions celebrated Obama's efforts in the leaked documents, and sought to capitalize on and support them. In particular, the decision-makers of the billionaire's U.S. programs touted the 60 “recommendations” issued by the so-called President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, a radical outfit created by an executive order from Obama. They call that effort “promising,” and note that one of Soros' minions on his board even served on the task force. The report also noted that “a number of grantees” receiving Soros largess testified at the hearings.
Essentially, and unsurprisingly, Obama's “task force” outlined various strategies the federal government could use to usurp control over local police departments. Those strategies included, perhaps most infamously, recommendations that bribes (“federal grants”) be used to trap local officials into obeying the White House by making sure the “grants” come with strings attached. Soros' agents lament the federal government's “limited authority to dictate reform at the local level,” but nonetheless celebrate efforts to “ensure effective implementation” of Obama's radical agenda among local police agencies.
The plot involves getting local police departments and law-enforcement agencies to accept federal money for various purposes — usually not even very much money. Once they accept it, they would supposedly be bound by Obama's “guidelines” and “standards.” The strategy is not new and was used earlier in the administration's tenure on education. The similarities led critics to blast the “ObamaCops” program, a reference to the extraordinarily unpopular Common Core, also known as “ObamaCore,” an Obama-backed plot to nationalize education standards imposed with bribes and bludgeoning from the White House.
Other Obama police schemes touted by Soros' minions included the Policing Data Initiative, in which the feds would hand out taxpayer money to local police in exchange for submission to uniform federal data-gathering and -sharing standards. The document also celebrates the increasingly radicalized Justice Department's“pilot programs” to hijack control over police in six American cities. The plot involves developing federal guidance for local cops and deploying federal “experts” to do everything from “fight crime” and “build trust” to “reduce bias.” Other cities have been bullied, threatened, and terrorized by the administration into submission using “consent decrees.”
Operatives for Soros, a protegé of the powerful Rothschild banking dynasty, were only too happy to help. “We are gaining a better understanding of these efforts in order to determine how best USP [Soros foundations' U.S. Programs] can use this moment to create a national movement,” the hacked document explained. “We have already had a set of preliminary conversations with about a dozen key stakeholders and will undertake a field scan to map the areas of work currently underway to advance police reform, including an assessment of the redundancies and gaps in work, and opportunities for collaboration. As we proceed, we will engage the funder network we helped to establish.”
In other words, Soros, who has dumped tens of millions into fomenting riots, hate, and dangerous anti-police extremism, was seeking to build an AstroTurf (fake grassroots) “national movement” to support Obama's unconstitutional efforts to usurp control over Americans' local police departments. To that end, leaked documents show that Soros and his minions have been showering huge amounts of money on “Black Lives Matter” and other outfits with similar agendas — and then blatantly lying to the public about it when confronted.
The document also outlines a discussion on exploiting alleged “police abuse” to create first “local reform,” and then see how and if that can be “leveraged into a national movement.” Such a scheme will require “frank discussion” about the strengths and weaknesses of “the field of policing reform advocates” and “the possibilities on the national federal landscape for reform,” the document says. “We are aiming to get board guidance on the direction a committed effort on our part might take.”
The Soros minions also explain how the puppets receiving Soros money were being exploited to push stronger federal control over police. The radical Soros front groups were “pushing the Justice Department to use its existing authority [sic] to place conditions on the funding it provides to local police departments, requiring basic elements of good practice in exchange for federal funds,” the document says, with “good practice” meaning whatever Soros and Obama — not local voters — want your police department to do. While lamenting that even a “progressive” attorney general has not done everything they want, Soros' agents boast that they are using their “key grantees” to keep up the pressure.
As if to confirm the thesis of an article published by The New American magazine in its September, 14, 2015 “Police Under Fire” Special Issue, the recently leaked document also outlines Soros' strategy to use “pressure from above and below” to achieve the extremist's objectives. For example, the report outlines an “Inside strategy” in which Soros minions seek to “better engage law enforcement and governmental leadership.” This is also known as “lobbying,” or pressure from above.
Then there is what the document calls the “Outside strategy” in which Soros showers money on fake grassroots efforts to create the appearance of public support for Soros' extremist anti-police, anti-liberty, anti-American agenda. “Another layer of grassroots and youth-oriented groups like Freedom Side, Ferguson Action, Black Lives Matter, and Million Hoodies Movement for Justice are also advocating for specific reforms,” the document explained. Another Soros document shows Soros provided $650,000 to “invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement.” And that is just the tip of the iceberg. The Washington Times recently reported that more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter moverment comes from Soros' Open Society Foundations.
In addition to Soros and Obama, the UN has also joined the effort to fundamentally transform America by, among other schemes, nationalizing America's police departments. “The Civil Rights Division of the [U.S.] Department of Justice has provided oversight and recommendations for improvement of police services in a number of cities with consent decrees,” the UN “Special Rapporteur” from Kenya said after a ludicrous UN “investigation” of the United States. “This is one of the most effective ways to reduce discrimination in law enforcement and it needs to be beefed up and increased to cover as many of the 18,000-plus local law enforcement jurisdictions.”
Close Obama confidant and radical race hustler Al Sharpton, who was caught on film urging supporters to start “offing the pigs,” has called for the same measures. Speaking last year amid establishment efforts to encourage a race war, Sharpton said the Justice Department should “take over policing in this country.” However, the controversial figure, who owes millions in taxes but regularly visits the Obama White House, acknowledged that “we’re going to have to fight states’ rights.”
Other revelations from the recently hacked documents show that Soros, like the UN and Obama, has been using his money to assault the constitutionally protected rights of Americans. Among other rights in Soros' crosshairs are gun rights, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to self-government, and more. He has also been exposed recently trying to corrupt Christianity, buy support from Catholic bishops in the United States, promote abortion in Catholic countries, and flood the Western world with Islamic “refugees” from globalist-fueled wars in the Middle East.
Americans and their elected officials must resist the efforts of Soros and his globalist allies in the Obama administration to take over state and local police departments. That can be accomplished by supporting your local police, and keeping them independent from federal control. Of course, that means local officials must refuse to take federal bribes with strings attached. But American liberty and constitutional self-government may well depend on making sure that the out-of-control federal government is never able to hijack control of Americans' law-enforcement agencies.

GREG LAURIE'S CONTINUING SLIDE INTO APOSTASY
GREG LAURIE'S CONTINUING SLIDE INTO APOSTASY
BY JEFF MAPLES
SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2016/09/01/greg-lauries-continuing-slide-into-apostasy/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Greg Laurie has been a prominent figure in Christendom for quite some time. He is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, CA, one of the largest churches in America. Many have touted him as being the next Billy Graham. In the likeness of Billy Graham’s crusades, Laurie has invested endless efforts in his Harvest Crusades since the early 1990’s, reaching audiences in the hundreds of thousands at every event. Laurie’s popular style of watered-down preaching and making the adulterated Word of God more palatable to the world has helped his empire grow tremendously, and transform Laurie into a celebrity.
As with nearly all celebrity Christian luminaries, there comes a time when the message they deliver has become so devoid of any convicting biblical substance that nearly anyone, whether they profess Christ or not, will be lured in by their seductive charisma. Their following essentially becomes a cult of personality, and their notoriety gains them indiscriminate immunity from nearly all criticism.
Pulpit & Pen recently brought you the follow-up statistics from Greg Laurie’s crusades. Among the thousands of people touted to “make decisions” for Jesus at these gatherings, only 3 to 6 percent of them show any fruits of salvation one year later. Why could this be?Phil Johnson from Grace to You says that Greg Laurie’s current associations are representative of his theological drift, and that his “doctrinal boundaries are so hazy that there’s hardly any variety of popular religion or spiritual chicanery that he won’t align himself with, as long as it calls itself ‘Christian,’ and gains a large following.”
This statement couldn’t be more accurate. Perhaps one of the most spiritually dangerous assemblages of professing Christians this year will be The Gathering. The Gathering is described as a “National Solemn Assembly to unite the Body of Christ in America — all believers, regardless of race, age, or denomination — in prayer for forgiveness, wisdom, and provision for our nation.”
But see, here’s the problem, and what makes this event especially dangerous. The Gathering is filled with many popular names that are accepted in mainstream evangelical circles. Most of these compromised celebrities will speak a little bit of truth mixed with error. They are the bridge between true Christianity and blatantly false Christianity. They are the seducers, who deceive even the elect if that were possible (Matthew 24:24). They are the ones that many sincere but undiscerning followers of Christ will be drawn away by because their books and materials are promoted in their churches.
Many popular names like former Southern Baptist President, Ronnie Floyd, Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham, former ERLC president, Richard Land, the wildly popular Benham Brothers, NAR Apostle Samuel Rodriguez, Word of Faith pastor of Gateway Church, Robert Morris, and other compromisers such as Jack Graham, James Robison, Kay Arthur and Priscilla Shirer….and Greg Laurie.
There are two possibilities here. Either Greg Laurie is so undiscerning that he has no idea that this event is filled with false teachers, Gospel-compromisers, and self-promoting charlatans or he is well aware of their works and sees nothing wrong with them.
The latter is more plausible.
Of course, being praised as “one of the greatest evangelists alive,” by one of the greatest con artists alive, Steven Furtick, is quite telling. Of course, Laurie returns the favor,promoting the arch-heretic, Steven Furtick’s Scripture-denying book, Crash the Chatterbox, on Twitter.
Laurie is an ecumenist–that is, he wants to tear down doctrinal divides between professing Christians and see them join hands under a superficial unity. Laurie took it upon himself to pronounce former presidential candidate, Marco Rubio, saved, even though Rubio unashamedly made it clear that he was fully theologically and doctrinally aligned with the Roman Catholic church. And one of Laurie’s associate pastors, Jeff Lasseigne, claims he has asked Christianity’s greatest enemy of all time, the pope, to pray the upcoming Crusades, while jokingly tapping a bobble-head statue of the pope that he has on display in his office.
Greg Laurie has admitted to involving Roman Catholic churches in his crusades. He recently gave the stage to sedevacantist (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedevacantism) Roman Catholic, Mel Gibson, to promote his upcoming movie. Laurie and his associates at Harvest do not see the damning doctrinal error that the false church of Rome adheres to. With Greg Laurie, it isn’t about sound doctrine and a solid Gospel message that saves–it’s about “filling the stadiums with youth” to “bring about revival.” It’s a numbers game. It’s about “uniting denominations” into a single, watered-down, inoffensive, ear-tickling, man-pleasing entertaining religion of harmonious solidarity.
It’s this doctrinal shift and slide into apostasy that has caused John MacArthur to withdraw his endorsement from the Harvest Crusades. Laurie has stopped preaching the full counsel of God. He does not distinguish himself from other false teachers or distance his message from other false gospels. He has accumulated for himself teachers to suit his own passions (2 Tim 4:3). He is building the false kingdom, and preparing the way for the harlot church to flourish. His gate is very wide, and wide is the gate that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13). The charismatic persona of this man is very seductive and enticing–having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power (2 Tim 3:5). Those who follow him down his path, be warned, it’s not a safe path.
For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. – Jude 1:4
JOEL OSTEEN: YOUR BEST SCAM NOW-A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
JOEL OSTEEN: YOUR BEST SCAM NOW-
A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
BY BUD AHLHEIM
SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2016/09/01/joel-osteen-your-best-scam-now-a-public-service-announcement/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
It seems like hardly a week of digital life passes in which I’m not electronically alerted to either the fabulous news that I’ve won the lottery from a small African nation I’ve never visited, or with condolences on the loss of a very wealthy, but otherwise kin-less, relative in Nigeria. “We regret your loss but you are the sole survivor. Please submit your bank account and financial institute’s routing number so we may remit your inheritance.”
Obviously, the spam filter doesn’t always work. Scams get through.
A lady in Texas, however, recently discovered yet another pathetic, if not laughable, scam during a Facebook encounter with “Pastor Joel Osteen.” The Christian Post reports that she received a message inquiring about whether she “was a true Christian, and did she believe in the Christ Jesus.”
Her positive response to the unsolicited online query resulted in the tremendous offer of a financial windfall from “Pastor Joel Osteen.” (Well, he is sorta like the Bill Gates of false teachers. His net worth is over $50 million and his house … well, it ain’t in my ‘hood!)
If the lady would first merely remit her own funds to an obscure orphanage in Delaware, the pastor would then reward her financial faithfulness with a $35,000 windfall from a recent “big Texas donor” that had “gifted Osteen Ministries.”
Well, that dawg didn’t hunt. The online scammer impersonating the pulpit scammer failed in the attempt. The Facebook account was subsequently deleted.
Lakewood Church, in response to the “Your Best Scam Now” attempt, issued this statement.
“Unfortunately, there are some on social media who masquerade as charitable organizations for the purpose of fraudulently seeking donations. We take this matter seriously and believe it is important for people to know that Lakewood Church never contacts individuals through social media for the purpose of soliciting donations.”
Uh, yeah, okay. Joel Osteen talking about masquerading is about as jocularly credible as my African lottery win. But anyway …
According to the article, the diligent policing by Lakewood Church to protect the integrity of the social media presence of Joel and Victoria resulted in the removal of “around 17,000 fake accounts within the last three years.” They hired “an outside firm” just to ensure the digital authenticity of the “church’s” two otherwise inauthentic “pastors.”
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. (Romans 1:28-31)
Look, it’s a shame that such scammers exist, but a fallen world, hurtling ever more rapidly towards depravity, makes it a Biblically-forewarned reality. The idolatrous worship of money will drive the greedy and ruthless to exhibit absolutely no shame before God or man in pursuing, by any means possible, the acquisition of their god. They will lie, cheat, and steal from anyone and everyone. Consciences seared, and likely “given up by God,” (Romans 1:24) they emulate the evil one, roaming the earth, (1 Peter 5:8) driven by pride and greed in their selfish efforts to deceive.
The unknowing and unsuspecting targets, if successfully deceived by the scammer, think they are engaging in noble, even Christian, behavior by participating with them, all the while they are being duped by a greedy agent of evil posing as an arbiter of hope.
That slick-talking, hope promising scammer should be ashamed. It’s egregious deception. Scripture condemns those who practice such things and commands believers to be discerning and alert to them. It’s ungodly and unrighteous. It’s the fruit of an unregenerate soul to attempt to deceive others for worldly gain.
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. Romans 16:17-19
As Paul advises, such smooth talking flatterers must be repelled by true believers and exposed for their “unfruitful works of darkness.” (Ephesians 5:11) People should avoid such deceivers and refuse their enticing pleas and false promises of hope and help. A “repent and believe” Gospel presentation is the proper response for such a scammer …
and that goes not only for Joel Osteen … it goes for that Facebook scammer too.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. (Matthew 7:15-16)
