[Daily Caller] Former Defense Intelligence Agency Director Gen. Michael T. Flynn says President Obama should "immediately suspend" Hillary Clinton's security clearance because she ran a private, unprotected email server from her New York home.
Flynn also told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an exclusive interview Saturday that Clinton's use of a private server for official national security business was "unprecedented," and he believed Clinton caused "untold damage" to national security. (RELATED: Hillary's Highly Paid IT Guru At State Department Had No National Security Experience)
Clinton should also be denied "any access to any classified or sensitive information," said Flynn, who was appointed by Obama to the DIA job in 2012.

Europe is paying the second installment on the debt for its indifference to the slow-motion disaster in Syria. The first installment was (and will continue to be) an increase in the threat of domestic terrorism. The second installment is the mass migration of Syrians and other Middle Easterners into Europe.
According to Johannes Hahn, the EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiation (we'll know the U.S. has hit bottom when we have such a commissioner and we're not far from having one, in effect) 20 million refugees are waiting on the doorstep of Europe. David Pryce-Jones points out that not all of them are genuine refugees in flight from civil war and tyranny. Some are riding the coattails of true victims. But the number of genuine refugees is staggering and tragic.
The overwhelming majority of the 20 million are Muslim. Their presence would, according to Pryce-Jones, at least double the number of Muslims already in Europe.
Could California and Massachusetts make do with another twenty million Moslem refugee "voters" ? Perhaps the Democratic Party could pass a Law to bring them over to America ( at taxpayer expense naturally ) and resettle them in ,say......Ohio or Iowa.
Someplace nice where they will all fit in and assimilate quickly .

We miss the bigger issue. These are the people that celebrated Arab spring, 911 and other events. Europe is almost 50% Islamic as it stands. This new push will top the scales of Islam in Europe. Europe is lost to Islam and they don't even know it...

[Center for Security Policy] Over the national holiday weekend of Labor Day, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is assembling for its 52nd Annual Convention from 4-7 September 2015 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The Muslim Brotherhood convention's theme is "Stories of Resilience: Strengthening the American Muslim Narrative."
Per the program and screenshot below from the ISNA website, United States Representative Keith Ellison (Democrat, 5th District, MN) is slated to speak at this key gathering of Muslim Brotherhood affiliates, front groups, and leadership on Saturday, 5 September 2015. His topic, "Exploring the Parallels of Islam and the America's Labor Movement," offers a glimpse of the U.S. Brotherhood strategy to co-opt oppression and victimization narratives of the civil rights movement and working class in America.
Of note, Mr. Ellison has received at least $136,092 in financing from Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations since April 2006 and recently participated in June 2014 as a keynote speaker at the secretive inaugural banquet for the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), the first political activist group in this country to be openly associated with the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood.

also the MN 5th is a solidly democrat district and basically all you have to do is win the dem primary
no democrats will challenge ellison on grounds that he supports jihad and, in fact, Ellison puts up a big clould of smoke on this in every substantive interview - he even supports gay marriage

...
Even so, the road will not be completely smooth. A delicate point will be reached, in Siddiqi's mind, as society polarizes between Muslim and non-Muslim camps "in every walk of life." At that point, as the struggle between Truth and Error "acquires momentum and the tension increases along with it," the "Wrong Doers" are likely to take desperate steps to "eliminate the Islamic movement and its workers by force." But if Islamists tread cautiously to navigate this point, taking special care not to alienate the non-Muslim population, eventually there will follow what Siddiqi calls a general "Rush-to-Islam." It will then be only a matter of time before Muslims find themselves not just enfranchised but actually running the show.
How much time? Siddiqi sees Islamists in power in Washington before 2020. For Wahaj, implementation of the shari'a in the United States "appears to be approaching fast," and in contemplating what that means his language grows ecstatic:
I have a vision in America, Muslims owning property all over, Muslim businesses, factories, halal meat, supermarkets, all these buildings owned by Muslims. Can you see the vision, can you see the Newark International Airport and a John Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia having Muslim fleets of planes, Muslim pilots. Can you see our trucks rolling down the highways, Muslim names. Can you imagine walking down the streets of Teaneck, [New Jersey]: three Muslim high schools, five Muslim junior-high schools, fifteen public schools. Can you see the vision, can you see young women walking down the street of Newark, New Jersey, with long flowing hijab and long dresses. Can you see the vision of an area of no crime, controlled by the Muslims?
...

What a country. Where else could Siraj Wahaj, a black convert to Islam go from being an unindicted co-conspirator in the blind sheikh’s trial and someone touting overthrow of the country by Muslims to someone who becomes the first Muslim to deliver the daily prayer in the U.S. House?
As a local sheriffs said, Islam is communism with a god. Except he failed to mention it is communism on steroids. Both are an existential threat.

"Blood in and blood out? How barbaric,
You infidel gangster hysteric!

[DAWN] FLUSHED with victory in the Rann of Kutch in April 1965, Field Marshal Ayub Khan and his confidants thought that the time was ripe for wresting Kashmire from India by inciting the Moslem population to rise in rebellion against the occupying power, and then delivering the knockout blow by severing the road link between India and Kashmire at Akhnur.
On the night of Aug 5/6 1965, 5,000 lightly gunnies slipped across the ceasefire line into occupied Kashmire. They were the Gibraltar Force. While the surprise lasted, they conducted a series of spectacular operations. Then the expected happened. Indian retribution against Moslem villages was swift and brutal; as a result, the locals not only refused to cooperate with the raiders but also started to assist the Indian forces to flush them out. To make matters worse, the Indian forces went on the offensive capturing Kargil ... three months of unprovoked Pak aggression, over 4000 dead Paks, another victory for India ... , Haji Pir pass and Tithwal and threatening Muzaffarabad. With its fate sealed, the Gibraltar force disintegrated. In order to release the pressure being applied on Azad Kashmire, Phase 2 was launched.

[DAWN] NATIONAL Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz ...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in good jihadis and bad jihadis as a matter of national policy... 's visit to Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... was not expected to produce any breakthroughs -- and that is what appears to have happened. Yet, these meetings are important in that they help both sides address issues face-to-face and there is surely a need for a great deal of frank and open discussion between the Pak and Afghan governments at the moment. What is worrying though is that President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. still continues to publicly jibe at Pakistain. While that may improve Mr Ghani's standing at home, it may end up hardening the Pak position when it comes to dealing with his government. The two country's security fates remain very much intertwined. As has become apparent, the military operations in Fata, particularly Zarb-e-Azb ..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)... , dislodged snuffies from the Pak side of the border, but in many cases caused them to move to the Afghan side. At least in part, the surge in krazed killer violence in Afghanistan over the past year is linked to that phenomenon. As for Pakistain, the sanctuary that anti-Pakistain, TTP snuffies have found in Afghanistan will likely be a source of long-term trouble. If Afghanistan and Pakistain do not cooperate, both will hurt. This is something they must understand.
More confusing though is quite where the possibility of a resumption of talks between the Afghan Taliban and Kabul stands. Is it simply that talks cannot resume because of intra-Taliban trouble or is that the Afghan government is also baulking at talks resuming at the earliest, perhaps in a fit of pique because of the spate of attacks in Kabul? President Ghani needs to reassess his position on talks soon. As has now been proved, Pakistain can and will nudge the Afghan Taliban to the negotiating table -- but surely only if there is a willing negotiating partner on the other side of the table. It may not make sense to Pak policymakers to expend capital with the Taliban insisting that they remain open to talks immediately if Kabul itself is not ready to resume dialogue right away. Yet, Pakistain should also understand the core of Mr Ghani's complaint -- he cannot be seen to be trying to make peace with the Taliban if they are violently attacking Kabul. Perhaps a fresh round of border management steps and improved intelligence coordination could go some way in restoring trust. The two states have several options to help stabilise ties quickly.

[DAWN] THE government's efforts to convince the MQM to return to parliament hit a snag on Thursday as the Muttahida broke off parleys in an abrupt fashion. The MQM -- which resigned from parliament last month to protest what it considers is the victimisation of its leaders and workers under the cover of the Rangers-led Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... operation -- left the talks as the party felt the prime minister was too "helpless" to address its concerns. The move has surprised the PML-N as well as Maulana Fazlur Rehman Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty ... , whom the ruling party mandated to negotiate with the MQM.
In the MQM's case, it is not clear what the party seeks to achieve by quitting parliament and closing the avenues of dialogue. For one thing, it is unfair for the party to accuse the PML-N of non-seriousness where acceptance of its demands is concerned. After all, if the ruling party wished it could have accepted the Muttahida politicians' resignations in August.The fact that the federal government has made efforts to engage the MQM appears to show the PML-N's sincerity. For its part, the government should speed up formation of the proposed committee to look into the MQM's genuine grievances about the Karachi operation. The Muttahida, on the other hand, should shed its rigid posture and concentrate on the upcoming LG polls in Sindh. For while the party scrambles to generate coherent responses to the many crises that confront it, its political opponents are taking advantage of the situation and planning to make electoral gains. For example, at a recent meeting in Hyderabad organised by the Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... , a number of parties decided to form an anti-MQM electoral alliance to contest LG polls in the Sindh city. Should the Muttahida cede ground by leaving electoral space open, it will have few to blame but itself. To prove it has severed all links with Lion of Islam elements and is solely concerned with fighting its battles at the ballot box, the MQM needs to formulate a policy for the LG polls.

I have been musing on Israeli options now that President Obama's deal has become assured and the Congress can do nothing about it. The "deal" (I used to teach Constitutional Law and I knew that treaties ratified by 2/3 vote of the Senate were the supreme law of the land, but I never heard of a deal not rejected by 60% of the Senate was) assures us that Iran will have at least a small force of nuclear weapons whenever whoever is the current Supreme Leader decides to make the effort. We will not have evidence that will convince those enamored of the deal for quite a bit after the fact, although intelligence operatives will know earlier. No one can predict who will be the Ayatollah selected to be the Supreme Leader to follow this one, but he -- it will be a he -- will be an Ayatollah and Koran scholar. Perhaps he will find an interpretation of the Koran that allows an Israel not subjected to dhimmitude to exist as a truce for his lifetime; that decision will be easier for him if Israel has a very survivable second strike force, 500 psi silos far enough apart that it takes at least one warhead (delivered by missile or by ox cart) to be sure of taking out the silo...deterrence is an event that takes place in the mind of the enemy commander (just as surprise is an event that takes place in the mind of your commander).
I was asked specific questions in another conference; The answers supplement what I said above.
1. What are the chances Israel will attack Iran's nuclear sites to prevent them from producing an atomic weapon?
Low and decreasing. ...
2. If the attack occurs, will Israel use nukes as a first strike to ensure the deep underground facilities are destroyed? Or as a later strike, perhaps?
See above. Zero probability without political preparation, which would not be concealable..
3. If Israel does attack Iran, will Israel survive the Iranian retaliation as a nation, if Iranian missiles, Hamas, and Hezbollah go all-out? Will the Iron Dome protect them?
Possibly, but it is not sufficient to protect Israel from nuclear attack without warning (ox cart delivery of attacks on Iron Dome and IDF air assets, as a possibility). Israel needs a survivable retaliatory deterrent force. She does not have one now.
4. If the attack occurs, when do you think it will happen -- before or after next year's Election Day?
After, and by then it will be too late to be non-nuclear, and will require USAF air superiority force assistance ; so likely zero probability.
5. What do you see as the fallout -- radioactive and/or geopolitical -- from such an attack?
Horrible, but improbable.
6. Will the USA militarily intervene to protect Iran from Israel, i.e., shoot down Israeli planes or missiles?
It won't happen, but giving such orders would damn near destroy the Air Force and Navy. A lot of senior officers would resign...
... given the plain language of the Koran that there can be only truce, not peace outside the house of Islam, Israel needs a secure deterrent, and has only a brief time to get to building it. Design is not easy, and it will be expensive.

6. Will the USA militarily intervene to protect Iran from Israel, i.e., shoot down Israeli planes or missiles?
Couldn't Russia militarily intervene against Israel to protect Iran?
Obama might share intelligence on Israel with the Russians and warn them of an imminent attack on Iran without directly involving the US military.
Is this the actual purpose of the Russian air base in Syria?

Now, no way to be sure without proper identification, but sure looks similar enough to raise a flag.
And I suppose there are a number of programs out there which can shift around and match photos to a certain degree of accuracy.
Two things:
The shirt. Joe citizen rooted from his home by conflict and makes it to Macedonia - the shirt in English? I'm sure we have all noticed that all these demonstrations and such have something tacky in English for propaganda purposes, this looks like one of them.
The backpack - how he has that slinged over his shoulder.
