John McCain and Lindsey Graham meeting Abdelhakim Belhadj in September 2012.
Imagine if a radical right-winger met with the leader of ISIS and then threatened to use military force to overthrow the U.S. government.
That’s what Lindsey Graham has done, yet instead of languishing in Guantanamo Bay, he’s in the Senate.
During a speech in Concord, New Hampshire, Graham said he would use the force of the U.S. military to compel Congress to pass a bill to restore defense funding.
“And here’s the first thing I would do if I were president of the United States. I wouldn’t let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to,” said the South Carolina Senator.
As Vox’s Amanda Taub points out, “Graham would use the military to force members of Congress to not just vote on the bill — but to pass it. Graham didn’t say “until I get an up-or-down vote on restoring defense cuts.” He said “until we restore these defense cuts.”
“If taken literally, Graham is basically announcing his plan to stage a coup: he is saying that if he gains control of the executive branch, he will use his authority as commander in chief to overcome the separation of powers and force the legislative branch to do his bidding, instead of allowing it to act as an independent branch of the government.”
Graham’s spokesperson later came out and said that when Graham said he would “literally use the military,” that statement was “not to be taken literally”.
If a Tea Party activist threatened to raise a militia in order to storm Capitol Hill and force lawmakers to pass a bill, he would be called a terrorist, arrested and sent to prison.
But Graham is free to make such statements, before hastily claiming it was all a joke, while having met with actual terrorists.
Along with John McCain, in September 2012 Graham met with LIFG militant Abdelhakim Belhadj, the man now leading ISIS in Libya. Belhadj fought alongside jihadists who killed U.S. troops in Iraq.
Thankfully, the chances of Graham becoming President are extremely slim, but the mere fact that he has been voted into office three times is alarming enough.

The leader of the UK Independence Party, UKIP, has sparked outrage again, this time, for saying that Britain no longer needs laws on racial discrimination at work.
The head of the anti-mass immigration, anti-European Union party, Nigel Farage, says the anti-discrimination laws should be repealed as the racism is not a problem for the country anymore.
“Discrimination legislation had been necessary in the past but we’ve moved way beyond”, he said during an interview with BBC radio.
In a documentary to be screened next week, Farage reportedly said he would repeal much of the legislation to stop employers hiring staff on the basis of ethnicity and gender.
He insisted that businesses are burdened with regulations and scrapping of such laws would allow to hire British workers, from any ethnic background, rather than immigrants.
Many Islamist invaders to Britain who call themselves “analysts” call Farage’s statements a trick to appease young Britons ahead of the UK parliamentary elections. Of course they said that, why wouldn’t they protest the abolition of a law that basically treats them as favorites despite the fact that they are nothing more than just simple classic good old fashioned invaders.
“The fact of the matter is we do have a problem with racism and fascism is on the rise and indeed Islamophobia is one the rise and what he is saying that he wants to abolish the laws is actually a negative point not actually for the ethnic minorities but for everyone because this also protects white people and the indigenous population” said Massoud Shadjareh, head of the Islamic Human Rights Commission from London.
The question we would like to ask Massoud Shadjareh is how exactly is this invader preferential law protecting white people. Protecting them from what? From having a job? Even though there have been countless Muslim crimes against native white Britons, no one ever used this law to call these horrible events anti-white, or racist against whites, or whatever stupid term they use against whites. No Muslim or any other non-white immigrant was ever accused of Hate Crimes, not even in the recent British scandal where Muslims were caught grooming thousands of British girls, most of whom minors. Some of the British media dared to ask if it was a hate crime but no one ever dared to call it a hate crime. It’s one thing to bluntly point out that it was and another with rhetorically asking a question…
Invaders to the EU always like to play the race card, playing the victim. They come uninvited to the EU in millions, they never adopt the European way of life and then they start complain that we, the Europeans are racist, nazi, bigoted, xenophobic and WHATEVER other stupid terms for not liking them. Why should we like them? Would Saudis for example like Europeans if they went to their country as permanent immigrants, keep practicing Christianity, don’t learn their language, steal their jobs and leave them jobless, steal their women, receive millions upon millions of dollars for social welfare in Saudi taxpayer money, and then when the Saudis complain about the Europeans the Europeans call the Saudis names such as nazis, racists. The question is, would they like that? No they wouldn’t and Christianity is illegal in Saudi Arabia like in most other Islamic countries yet Muslims dare to call for Shariah in Britain. These people have forgot their place and politicians like Mr. Farage needs to remind them who we are, who they are, and WHERE they are.

Adam Koessler wanted to cure his 2-year-old daughter’s rare, stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the abdomen that can be very painful. He learned about the positive medicinal effects of cannabis oil on cancers like his daughter’s and tried to administer the oil in an attempt to heal her. What followed is a complete nightmare.
Despite the fact that:
There is video evidence that cannabis oil attacks cancer cells on the spot
The undeniable reports from doctors that cannabis treats cancer
And the US government has been aware of cannabis’ cancer-curing qualities since at least 1974,
…the Australian government frowned on his attempt to treat her, since he resides in Australia, where medical marijuana is currently illegal.
Adam was recently arrested for “allegedly administering medicinal cannabis oil” to his 2-year-old daughter. He has also been charged with ”possession of a dangerous drug,” which comes with a 20-year jail sentence should he be found guilty. This, despite the fact that medical marijuana and even recreational marijuana is becoming legalized in more areas with each passing year.
Adam can only see his daughter with restricted access, as she has been removed form his care to be treated with aggressive chemotherapy. He is not being informed of her treatment details or progress – if any, and though Adam has tried to send her organic meals through a registered business during her hospital stay, the hospital will not approve delivery of her meals.
Other families with children staying in the same hospital are allowed to bring their children whatever food items they like. The actions of the hospital and the Australian court are egregious beyond any shadow of a doubt.
It is atrocious that a small child, only two, cannot see his primary caregiver (the mom and Adam are separated.) To disallow him the knowledge of whether she is failing in health or thriving, is hideous, and to prevent him from even sending healthy food is simply asinine and overtly unfair.
Adam’s rights are no different than ours and as simple people and parents we should reach out to help him in whatever capacity we are able. His story, sadly, is not that rare.
The medical mafia and the governments of ‘civilized’ nations have forced other children to have chemotherapy against their will. Can you imagine losing all rights to care for a sick child and having to sit idly by or in jail while the system dictates what is in the best interest of your progeny?
The laws clearly need to change. No government should be able to own your children and decide what is right for them – especially in light of the child sex abuse claims just now coming to the surface involving congress members and theUK parliament. Though there have been whistleblowers for years now. Are these really the people we want making medical decisions about our children?
Adam’s story has been in the Australian media where he has gained support, but you can also help Adam with donations or positive and uplifting Facebook comments.

A curious insert placed into today’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) report for President Putin states that the bodies of a number of US Marines killed during last months Battle of Debaltseve have begun “mysteriously” appearing upon a Gulf of Mexico beach in Florida.
According to this report, the MoD reported last month that the Obama regime had “effectively abandoned” at least 150 US troops embedded with over 5,000 Ukrainian forces in the rebel surrounded town of Debaltseve in eastern Ukraine from which thousands of shell-shocked Ukrainian soldiers managed to escape, and who later described their terrifying retreat from that apocalyptic rail town while being shot at point blank range.
Of the hundreds of bodies found in the aftermath of this horrific battle by rebel forces, this report continues, Russian intelligence sources identified at least 13 of them as being “probable” US Marines based upon “unique body identifiers” [i.e. tattoos], military equipment used, and “electronic database identification knowledge” of US Special Forces personnel.
The bodies of these US Marines were then turned over by the rebel forces to Ukrainian authorities (who claimed them as their own) on 18 February after which, Russian intelligence sources in this report state, these remains were repatriated to the United States.


Important to note about these dead American Marines, this report says, are that they were all “probable” members of the US Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOCoperating out of Romania as part of the Black Sea Rotational Force (BSRF) who, since this past summer, have been training Ukrainian forces.
Most “mysteriously”, however, the MoD says in this report, are that once the bodies of these US Marines left Ukraine a few weeks ago nothing was reported on them, until this week that is when at least 7 of these exact same soldiers bodies were reported to be washing up on the shores of Florida, and as we can, in part, read as reported by American media sources:
“Thick fog forced authorities to suspend the air search Wednesday for seven Marines and four Army aircrew, feared dead after their Black Hawk helicopter crashed into waters off the Florida Panhandle.
“We’re working closely with all the parties involved to locate our Marines and the Army crew that were onboard,” added Capt. Barry Morris, a spokesman for the U.S. Marines Corps Special Operations Command. “And, really, just our thoughts (and) prayers are with the Marines, the soldiers and the families of those involved in the mishap.”


To disguise the deaths, and death locations, of Special Forces soldiers in order to maintain operational security, this report explains, is a “common practice” (even within the MoD) but the details so far being released in this instance “strongly suggests” that the Obama regime may have deliberately killed an innocent helicopter crew too in order cover-up these particular deaths.
Most appalling about the deaths of these US Marines in Ukraine, this report continues, is the Obama regime continuing the Bush-era practice of not allowing the American people to know the full, and horrific, toll their losing wars are having on their nation.
As just one example, this report explains, the American people are still not aware that the war they lost in Iraq has cost the lives of nearly 74,000 US Soldiers, an amount far exceeding the 58,195 names recorded on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington.
To how the Bush-Obama regimes have been able to fool their own citizens as to the true and horrible extent of their war deaths has been detailed in many reports, including one on the US Department of Veterans Affairs which states:
“The government, under the Bush administration, did something dishonest that resulted in a lie that’s persisted since the war began — and continues to this very day. They decided to report the war deaths in Iraq only if the soldier died with his boots on the ground in a combat situation.
What’s the difference, you might ask?
The combat in Vietnam was in rural areas, far removed from medical treatment centers. Injured soldiers were treated by a Medic. Most died at the scene of the battle before they could be evacuated. Many died on route or were declared dead at the medical treatment facilities. The situation in Iraq is vastly different.
Fighting in Iraq is mainly in urban areas. Soldiers who are injured are quickly evacuated with armored personnel carriers or helicopters. It’s a much more efficient system than what was possible in Vietnam, but for those that are seriously injured it means that death is more likely to happen while they are in transit or at the treatment facility.
Under the new reporting system, deaths that happen en route or post evacuation are not counted as combat deaths. This is why the number seems unusually low
The actual figures have been hidden from the American public just like the returning, flag draped coffins were censored from the press. But the figures are now available and we can only hope that the American people will be outraged when they learn how they have been misled.
According to The Department of Veterans Affairs, as of May 2007, reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:
Total U.S. Military Gulf War Deaths: 73,846
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999
The statistics for non-lethal injuries are likewise staggering:
Total “Undiagnosed Illness” (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995
Percentage of combat troops that filed Disability Claims 36%
As Norway begins flooding their border with troops today to counter Russia’s planned “Shock of March” battle plan, this report concludes, what remains to be known is how the Obama regime will be able to conceal the thousands of more deaths of their soldiers from their citizens as their plans to take over the entire world crumbles into nuclear dust all around them.

With politicians around the globe calling on Israel to take action against illegal settlements in the West Bank, the Jewish state has finally taken action. Not against its own communities, but against an EU-funded building for Palestinians.
On Tuesday, the Israeli government demolished an EU settlement on Mount Scopus in northeast Jerusalem. The city’s municipality said it undertook the measures because the structure was constructed on land, which had been designated for a national park.
According to the EU it was not even a building, but a temporary shelter, which the pan-European organization has continued to fund to help displaced people.
“We condemn today’s demolition of temporary shelters funded by the European Union… as part of its response to the needs of the affected communities,” an EU statement said, according AFP.
The EU has helped to fund around 200 temporary structures, which are used as shelters mainly for the Bedouin communities, which are traditionally semi-nomadic tribes that stretch from North Africa to the Middle East. The Israeli government has often tried to move the Bedouin people into housing planned by the state. Israeli activists say this is taking place so the government can build its own settlements in the area.
This would effectively carve out an Israeli enclave running through the middle of the West Bank, thereby making it almost impossible to create a contiguous Palestinian state.
The charity Oxfam made a statement just days before the demolition, saying the EU needed to take a tougher line against the Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes, many of which were funded by EU taxpayer money.
“To see positive change on the ground, Europe needs to step up and take a leadership role. EU governments must match their words with urgent and concrete measures to push for an immediate end to settlement construction and the unlawful demolition of Palestinian civilian infrastructure,” Oxfam mentioned on its website.
Regavim, an Israeli conservative non-governmental organization counters the EU’s claims, saying the body has built 500 structures in Israel, without the consent of the national government.
“After years of researching this new phenomenon of illegal European settlements in and around Jerusalem, we praise the Jerusalem municipality for beginning to enforce the rule of law,” said Ari Briggs, director of Regavim, cited by the Jerusalem Post.
A recent report by the right wing lobby group found that the EU’s policy of continuing to illegally build settlements of the Palestinians in Jerusalem and parts of the West Bank is an ongoing problem and they want the Israeli government to continue to take measures against this.
“We see this action as a direct consequence of the recent Regavim expose on the subject and call on the government of Israel to find an immediate solution for the other 499 structures that we have identified as illegal EU settlements,” Briggs, a co-author of the study, said.


Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed it. This is a move that’s never been recognized by the international community, while Israel’s continued policy to build settlements has brought condemnation from all over the world, including from the country’s staunch ally, the United States.
In late January, the US and the EU advised Israel against a plan to drop its plans to construct an additional 450 settlement homes in the West Bank, warning that failure to do so would further destabilize the situation in the region and diminish prospects for peace.
Washington voiced concern, warning that building new settlements would not help to improve Israeli security; rather it would have the opposite effect.
“I can tell you that issuing tenders like this does nothing to bolster Israel’s security, does not increase its prosperity and it does not further the cause for peace. In fact it does precisely the opposite,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.
The US believes Israeli settlement activity is “illegitimate and counterproductive” to achieving a two-state solution, Earnest told reporters.
Some 500,000 Israelis have settled in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, among 2.4 million Palestinians. The Israeli occupied territories have been seeking full Palestinian statehood and independence from Israel for decades. However, despite international criticism, the Israeli government encourages the Jewish population in the West Bank to build new settlements.
Rather than listening to the US and the EU, Israeli seems as though it is determined to plough a lone furrow and in 2014, set a new 10-year record for the number of settlements built.


According to Peace Now, an anti-settlement watchdog, 4,485 tenders were issued in 2014, a 20 percent increase from the previous year (3,710). In 2007, only 858 were handed out. The watchdog also stated that there had been a 40 percent rise in construction in 2014.
Peace Now claims the increase in settlement building is an election ploy by incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to win votes ahead of the Israeli elections on March 17. The group adds that the in seeking a fourth term in office, Netanyahu is sacrificing good relations with the US, to secure the settlers’ votes.
“Once again, Palestinian lives, rights and lands are being violated in the service of Israeli election campaigns,” said Hanan Ashrawi, a senior official from the Palestinian Liberation Organization, as cited by Reuters.
