Arabia
Can Mohammed bin Salman break the Saudi-Wahhabi pact?
[Al Jazeera] The Kingdom of Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
is presently undergoing dramatic changes in the sociopolitical domain. The drive to modernise the kingdom and open it to the world is spearheaded by the young and ambitious Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016....
(MBS). He is seen as the criminal mastermind behind Riyadh's strategy to revamp the Saudi economy and limit the power of the holy mans over state affairs.

DC Press Corps KNEW For a FULL YEAR Hillary Clinton Was Behind Russia Dossier – HID IT FROM PUBLIC
[GatewayPundit] The DC press corps and prominent Washington journalists knew Hillary Clinton paid for the dossier as early as September of 2016 yet they suppressed the information and acted as if the salacious document was legit intel.

The liberal mainstream media WITHHELD THIS FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FOR A YEAR!

This is why Americans loathe the mainstream media.

They are nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Democrats and Deep State hacks.

Paul Sperry of The New York Post said an ex-Trump campaign advisor told him prominent DC journalists admitted to him DURING the campaign they KNEW Hillary Clinton was behind the Russia dossier yet they continued to report as if the salacious document was legit intelligence!

Sperry tweeted:

"Sperry: "BREAKING: ex-Trump campaign adviser says prominent Washington journalists told him DURING CAMPAIGN (early as Sept 2016) they KNEW Hillary Clinton was behind the anti-Trump dossier, and yet they SAT ON that critical information for a FULL YEAR & acted as if dossier was legit intel"

Paul Sperry then reported:

"Sperry: "BREAKING NEWS: DC press corps suppressed for full year the fact that Clinton campaign paid for the anti-Trump Russia dossier. Journalists knew Clinton behind dossier as early as September 2016 & kept mum, reporting dossier’s allegations as if they were legitimate intelligence!"

THEY ALL KNEW..
They knew and they ALL LIED to the American public.

Shortly after the Washington Post published their bombshell in mid-October revealing Hillary Clinton’s camp paid for the dossier, prominent New York Times reporters came forward claiming they were lied to by Hillary’s people.

The New York Times was onto this scoop as well. Apparently when NY Time reporter, Kenneth Vogel questioned Clinton’s campaign lawyer, Marc Elias, he pushed back "vigorously" saying his sources were wrong.

NY Times reporter Kenneth Vogel tweeted, "When I tried to report this story, Clinton campaign lawyer @marceelias pushed back vigorously, saying "You (or your sources) are wrong."

White House Correspondent for the New York Times, Maggie Haberman also blasted the lying Democrats over the debunked dossier when she tweeted, "Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year"

It was a rare moment of honesty by Ms. Haberman.

At the end of October, Hillary Clinton claimed she didn’t know about the Russia dossier (that her campaign actually paid for) until after Buzzfeed published the 35-page document in January of 2017.

Of course Hillary Clinton knew about the dossier. The salacious document was a failed ’October surprise’.

Paul Sperry is the Former D.C. bureau chief for Investor’s Business Daily, Hoover Institution media fellow, author of several books, including bestseller INFILTRATION

Yes, at least one of the reasons.

#2  We knew about this before her pathetic ploy. She pulled it all out of her ass after trump won just like the youtube video to blame for Benghazi.

She and baraq knew about Russian hacking and said nothing and brought it up after the election.

They
Are
Worthless.

#3  Worthless

Means zero worth. Discover negative numbers, newc.

#4  Since the anonymous source is from the Trump campaign this info is basically worthless even if true nobody would believe it.

What We Get For the Hundreds of Millions We Give To Terrorists
[SultanKnish] "We pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect," President Trump tweeted. "With the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?"

...The United States has paid the PLO’s Palestinian Authority billions to occasionally pretend to talk about peace. There isn’t a dollar amount high enough to get the terrorists to actually agree to peace.

...We know two things about the terrorist leader who will succeed Arafat and Abbas. His name will start with an ’A’ and like Arafat and Abbas, he’ll wait around for the perfect moment in a peace negotiation with a lefty president before, as Arafat did to Clinton and Abbas did to Obama, breaking it all up.

And that’s one of the priceless things that the fake terror statelet of the Palestinian Authority gives us for our hundreds of millions of dollars. Every decade its leader will lead on a lefty and then leave him at the altar. It may cost us another few billion, but somewhere around 2026, President Cory Booker will be certain that he’s finally solved the Palestinian problem only to sit there confused with egg on his face.

Is that worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year? Maybe not. But it’s also a good lesson to lefties that they don’t understand the Muslim world and that no matter how hard they try, they never will.

But that’s not all that we get for our money.

The peace process with the PLO was the original test case for the Arab Spring and the Iran Deal. All three were founded on the same stupid belief that if you give the terrorists almost everything they want, they won’t kill you. Every year that passes shows that no matter what you give them, the terrorists will kill you. Bribing killers doesn’t work. Meeting their demands is impossible because there are always more.
"Palestine" was the lab there they worked out the details of both terror acts and politics based on terror threats - WOT is the industrial application of these methods.
...Back in ’04, a member of the PLO’s Fatah faction tried to build an AIDS bomb.

Rami Abdullah, an engineering student, wanted to blow himself up while carrying blood from a donor infected with AIDS. "After a period, it will kill a lot of people," he explained.

Abdullah has already promised that if he gets out, he’ll try to live the dream of building an AIDS bomb.

...An AIDS bomb plot by Tanzim, the most violent terror arm of the Palestinian Authority, was planned over Passover back then. But the lab Jihadis never figured out how to make it work. One day though, if we keep funding them, they might figure it out. And then we too can enjoy AIDS bombs in our cities.

And isn’t that worth a mere few hundred million dollars a year?

We could stop funding terrorists. Also we could stop smoking, running full tilt into glass doors and finally pull off that New Year’s resolution to stop drinking antifreeze. Those would all be good ideas. And they would make us safer and happier. So you can expect Washington D.C. to reject them out of hand.

The experts are convinced that if we don’t fund the terrorists, they’ll behave even worse. So far we haven’t actually tested this theory. No one wants to find out what they can come up with that’s worse than an AIDS bomb.

But if anyone in Washington D.C. can stop doing that stupid thing all the experts insist we need to do, it’s President Trump. And so just maybe this can be the year we stop running into glass doors, drinking antifreeze and funding terrorists. We may lose out on some Arafat murals and AIDS bombs, but the Americans who are regularly killed every year by Palestinian Islamic terrorists will thank him for it.

And if not, we can always look forward to President Elizabeth Warren being humiliated by President Ahmed of the PLO as he walks away from the table despite being offered 99% of Israel and Netanyahu’s first-born son. And then unleashes toddler stone throwers and AIDS suicide bombers across Jerusalem.

Libyan Slave Markets and Jumping into the Fire
h/t Instapundit
[DaTechGuyBlog] A few people are still talking about slave markets of Libya. (Allow me to say something nice about CNN.) Some seem to think they just sprang up only since the ouster of Gaddafi, but they’ve been around for a long time and black Africans are the primary product. Again. And the African migration to Europe ‐ along with Libya’s anarchy ‐ has made the trade much more lucrative.

We all know that Arab Muslims have been buying and selling black Africans for centuries, right? Scratch that. I know that some of us don’t or won’t acknowledge this.

#4  And I'd be willing to be that much of the rest was brought on by the Hildebeast's idea of getting rid of Khadaffy.
