Abortion Activist Claims Planned Parenthood Videos Caused Raid At His Home
[SACRAMENTO.CBSLOCAL] An anti-abortion activist who made undercover videos at Planned Parenthood
...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party.
clinics said in a social media posting that Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Department of Justice agents raided his home Tuesday.
We've achieved the status of a police state.
Agents seized all video footage from his apartment, along with his personal information, David Daleiden said in a Facebook post. Daleiden, the founder of a group called the Center for Medical Progress, said agents left behind documents that he contends implicate Planned Parenthood in illegal behavior related to the handling of fetal tissue.

Center for Medical Progress front man Peter Robbio confirmed the social media posting is authentic, but he declined further comment. He said Daleiden lives in Orange County.

#1  If US women choose to abort their children and allow them to be chopped up and sold for money then yes God is in control and yes illegal immigrants will be handed your neighborhood, your city, your state, your nation and they will consume the treasury to where there will be nothing left but debt even unto the 4th generation of your surviving descendants.

Home Front: WoT
US security chief compares anti-Muslim remarks to red scare
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The US domestic security chief on Wednesday compared current anti-Muslim sentiment to the anti-communist "Red Scare" of the 1940s and ’50s, suggesting that divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
statements by Republican presidential candidates are to blame.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who is black, noted that his grandfather was forced to testify in front of the House of Representatives in 1949.

"He had to, in the height of the Red Scare, to deny he was a member of the communist party, and went on to give an impassioned statement about how American negroes are patriotic," Johnson said at a conference in Washington about countering violent extremism.
"Just look at Paul Robeson!"
"Efforts and dialogue that have the effect of vilifying American Muslims are counter to our homeland security interest," he said, without specifically naming any political candidates.

Those who don’t know history "are bound to repeat it," Johnson added.

Republican presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have both been criticized for statements seen as hostile to Muslims.

Trump wants to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States, while Cruz has called for allowing law enforcement to "patrol and secure" Muslim neighborhoods.

The B.O. regime slammed those remarks, with Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
calling them "an embarrassment to our country."

The candidates’ views run counter to government efforts to build bridges with Muslim communities and prevent radicalization.

"The overwhelming, overwhelming majority of American Muslims ... are patriotic, dedicated people who love this country and want to help us in public safety, and secure our homeland because they know it’s their homeland too," Johnson said.

#2  [Jeh Johnson] compared current anti-Muslim sentiment to the anti-communist "Red Scare" of the 1940s and ’50s

We know now from Russian sources that they were quite busy back then actively trying to subvert our government and our institutions like Hollywood and universities. The persistence of the 'Red Scare' meme is one example of their success.

So if Jeh wants to argue that the Muslim situation is like the Red Scare with a lot of people lying to you about whether a problem exists, then he is exactly right.

Go to any university campus or federal office building. Throw a rock. You will hit at least 3 of them at least as bad as him.

Along with another success by convincing the public that the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), aka Nazis, were not socialists but conservatives.

#9  From Wiki, Johnson's grandfather.

Charles Spurgeon Johnson (July 24, 1893 – October 27, 1956) was an American sociologist and college administrator, the first black president of historically black Fisk University, and a lifelong advocate for racial equality and the advancement of civil rights for African Americans and all ethnic minorities. He preferred to work collaboratively with liberal white groups in the South, quietly as a "sideline activist," to get practical results.

His position is often contrasted with that of W. E. B. Du Bois, who was a powerful and militant advocate for blacks and described Johnson as "too conservative." During Johnson's academic studies and leadership of Fisk University during the 1930s and 1940s, the South had legal racial segregation and Jim Crow discriminatory laws and practices, including having disfranchised most black voters in constitutions passed at the turn of the century. Johnson was unwavering in personal terms in his opposition to this oppressive system, yet worked hard to change race relations in terms of short-term practical gains.

His grandson Jeh Johnson served as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security beginning in 2013.


American history is full of Black American elites.

Do me a favor and throw it hard.

#11  Since Mr. Johnson is old enough to hold office I'm guessing he's old enough to legally change the spelling of his first name.

#12  The sad truth is that Joe McCarthy was bang on to the problem and the commies in the media manipulated the story and Joe did himself no favors either.

AND we are still up to our eyeballs with leftists in the State Department, moles in the CIA and self-professed socialists running the country.

#13  BC has the truth of it. The Red Menace was real. If anything, McCarthy (a Democrat) understated the threat.

#14  When the Wall came down, accounts should have been settled. However, you all were so tolerant of the traitors, that now they expect submission and give no tolerance.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Bernie Sanders claims Israel killed '10,000 innocents' in Gaza
[ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] Grossly inflating casualty figures, Jewish Democratic presidential candidate condemns Israel's defensive actions in Gaza.
He has never forgiven Israel for turning its back on the Stalinist path of the kibbutz he summered at in his long ago youth -- sadly fitting for what the party he is attempting to usurp has become.
