I want to admire Donald Trump. We all do. Well, we do admire him -- for putatively bolting from the liberal plutocrat herd and undertaking to lead America out of its morass of evil and decadence to glory and excellence.
But he makes it difficult sometimes. Almost every time it's reported he's considering somebody for a particular post in his campaign staff alarm bells go off. For instance:
Icahn endorsed Donald Trump for the 2016 US presidential election. He also announced the formation of a super PAC pledging $150 million to push for corporate tax reform. Icahn will target inversions, which occur when corporations leave the U.S. to take advantage of lower tax rates elsewhere.[66]
Upon becoming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump announced that he would nominate Icahn for Treasury Secretary.
Forgive me for not jumping for joy over this, but Carl Icahn first made a name for himself as corporate raider of a class that brought infamy down on its heads in the 1980s. He tried and fortunately failed to gut Dan River, the 74-year-old textile company my father retired from. His confrères like Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken got in trouble for their epic financial flim-flam back then.
Trump's pick for vice president Mike Pence has a good conservative record on many issues but is terrible on the big one rarely mentioned anymore -- Washington's World War III in the service of Israel. It's the longest aggression in American history, and in concert with the rest of Washington's foreign policy is the main thing keeping planet Earth from finally knowing peace in its first opportunity ever.
Where does Trump stand on this aeonic outrage? That's the question. He's always calling for a bigger, stronger, wealthier military. Why? Mr. Pence is also a 1960s-style war hawk -- apparently we've learned nothing from the Vietnam era:
Now via comes the real Frankenstein moment:
https://theintercept.com/2016/09/12/donald-trump-after-blasting-iraq-war-picks-top-iraq-hawk-as-security-adviser/
DONALD TRUMP NAMED former CIA director and extremist neoconservative James Woolsey his senior adviser on national security issues on Monday. Woolsey, who left the CIA in 1995, went on to become one of Washington’s most outspoken promoters of U.S. war in Iraq and the Middle East.
As such, Woolsey’s selection either clashes with Trump’s noninterventionist rhetoric — or represents a pivot towards a more muscular, neoconservative approach to resolving international conflicts.
Trump has called the Iraq War “a disaster.”
Woolsey, by contrast, was a key member of the Project for the New American Century — a neoconservative think tank largely founded to encourage a second war with Iraq. Woolsey signed a letter in 1998 calling on Clinton to depose Saddam Hussein and only hours after the 9/11 attacks appeared on CNN and blamed the attacks on Iraq. Woolsey has continued to insist on such a connection despite the complete lack of evidence to support his argument. He also blames Iran.
Weeks before the invasion of Iraq, Woolsey called for broader war in the Middle East, saying “World War IV” was already underway.
Woolsey has also put himself in a position to profit from the wars he has promoted. He has served as vice president of Pentagon contracting giant Booz Allen, and as chairman of Paladin Capital Group, a private equity fund that invests in national security and cybersecurity........
Project for the New American Century -- scandalous Department of Homeland Security contractor Booz Allen -- am I really reading this? One some large, life-or-death subjects it must be admitted Trump is a stinking rotten Bushevik neocon. This is horrible, a nightmare that shows again what an acolyte of bastard Israeli power Trump really is.
Yes, we've got to have him for president if it's between him and Hillary, Bernie, Biden or any other criminally insane Democrat. But let's have no illusions about Trump either now or during his reign please. Iraqis, Iranians, Libyans, Ukrainians are people too -- no matter how easy it is to think of them as distant political footballs for our illustrious beltway politicians to take out their life's frustrations on.

Let's have some consistency in IRS political targets
The IRS has caught heat for going after conservatives, e.g. Biblical churches, for speaking up against the "new" world order and rightly, reasonably attempting to guide voters. It's smitten its brow in repentance and promised not to do it anymore, but you know it didn't mean a word of it.
Compare the carte blanche license it gives gliberals to trample the "separation of church and state" shibboleth -- and trample it they do. They always have, complacent in the knowledge nobody will bother them. Black churches, for instance, are often little more than "black power" political and campaigning cells, but what do the IRS, FEC or any other resonsible party care? Less than nothing -- they approve!
Case in point: your mother wouldn't want you having anything to do with this website, and it doesn't of course speak for me or the PN, but it has some crucial truth to share -- albeit quite often scatologically:
NEO-ZIONIST AND JEWISH SUPREMACIST HEAD OF ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE JONATHAN GREENBLATT BREAKS 501(C)(3) LAWS AGAIN BY INSULTING TRUMP
What's the Anti-Defamation League? Merely one of the quasi-governmental outfits really running things and calling shots in this country. Have you by chance noticed that it never stops attempting to shove America leftward and screeching about what a hotbed of "hate," "bigotry", "anti-semitism" and "discrimination" this country supposedly is?
No, you haven't, have you. That would mean admitting that Jews are not merely another miscellaneous stratum in the great ameriKan melting pot of rainbow wonderment. And you really, REALLY don't want to go there, do you?
Even if it's a matter of life and death for your country?
Why have they been chairing the Fed since 1979? Why do they make up 44% of the Extreme Court, and counting?
C'mon, give.
Thanks for reading.

A hack revisited -- thanks to what hacks, or hackers?
Some hack left IRS computers open for hackers, who hacked 'em but bad:
The triple zeroes are what staggers you half the time. Crunching the huge numbers can provoke amazement, shock or outrage. "WHEN THE IRS first reported a hack", it says, "that exposed taxpayer accounts’ vulnerable information, it pegged the number of affected people at a little over 100,000. Today, in its second upward revision, the number of affected people now stands at over 700,000."
There are about 315 million people in the USA. Thus in just this one hack, one out of every 450 individuals here was left naked to digital mayhem. Each household on average allegedly has 2.54 people in it. If we conservatively estimate that each "taxpayer" lives with one immediate family member, e.g. a dependent, a stupid, inexcusable lapse like this is affecting more like one out of every 225 of us. And this incident is just a drop in the bucket of the IRS's mayhem, persecution and vicious tyranny over the sheeple!
Sure, most of the people whose info was compromised won't have any trouble from it -- I think. But it's no healthier for America to have this going on than to force every non-plutocrat who gets on an airplane to pass through the lust brigade.
Who's minding the store? Or are they just rioting in it?
"Today, in its second upward revision" -- watch this space.

Sinister website further enshrines FATCA threats
"The last thing a government does before it self-destructs is rob the people." Michael Rivero frequently declares this on his magnificent internet radio show whatreallyhappened.com.* I relay the following story to show how hatefully the government is treating its subjects, but also what passes for journalism these days:
US
taxes and FATCA: 'The time for hiding is over'
Washington has already destroyed financial privacy here and in Europe in the name of fighting TERR'ISM, don'tcha know. Europe is know to be understandably furious about it. Who is Babylon-on-the-Potomac to be dictating anything to them, much less throttling those countries' banking lives? So you'd think a Europe-based website would be on the side of the people on this, coaching people on how to resist the tyranny before the IRS comes for the fillings in our teeth.
This news doesn't affect any of us but various compatriots are attempting to escape the New Soviet America and this stuff's wreaking havoc with their lives. They don't even have that much money but the NWO isn't leaving the tiniest pebbles unturned anymore.

IRS pounds Microsoft, Microsoft sues back -- HD erased
You may have missed this news amidst all the theatrics over mass-murderer Hillary Clinton's email crimes. But it looks pretty major!
If there's this much gross misconduct going on in the public's blind spot, how much more is there that doesn't even get covered at sites like Tea Party Journal? Bravo for Microsoft despite its own corporate atrocities, like trying to force Windows 10 on us all. A central page and utility for stopping that, by the way:

Is hate a bad word? A lot of nice people are suddenly saying it
The Beatles asserted "all you need is love" in a famous song. Since their heyday, most first-worlders have tried to expunge all negative emotions from their lives in the mistaken belief that that's the healthy norm. Even Christians are living in the love bubble, forgetting that the Bible commands us at least twice to hate evil. Times may be changing:
Americans Really, Really Hate The Government
If there is one thing that Americans can agree on these days, it is the fact that most of us don’t like the government. CBS News has just released an article entitled “Americans hate the U.S. government more than ever“, and an average of recent surveys calculated by Real Clear Politics found that 63 percent of all Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction and only 28 percent of all Americans believe that the country is heading in the right direction. In just a few days the first real ballots of the 2016 election will be cast in Iowa, and up to this point the big story of this cycle has been the rise of “outsider” candidates that many of the pundits had assumed would never have a legitimate chance. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders have all been beneficiaries of the overwhelming disgust that the American people feel regarding what has been going on in Washington..........
The change will be slow, I fear. One indication is that in the middle of this otherwise frank and important article, massive stupidity rears its head. A lot of Republican voters, it says, "are gravitating toward either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. Both of those candidates represent a complete break from how establishment Republicans have been doing things in recent years." Cruz real -- a conservative and equivalent in any way to the Donald?
This is the great achilles heel of today's politics: people don't know real conservatism from fake anymore. The establishment's disgusting, hateful shills like Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Santorum et al are still fooling millions. Whether Trump proves another snake or a real statesman, only time will tell -- but he's only been any kind of conservative for seven months. Meanwhile, it's a thrill to see him humiliate and excoriate the Permanent Regime.
The above article came my way via Freedom Forum:
I spend hours there each day and highly recommend it. This just in -- are you read for a company called Crowds on Demand?
Truman Show USA - "Concerned
Citizens" At Townhall Meetings Exposed As Paid
It has a CEO, no less -- unsurprisingly a graduate of UCLA. We've complained of liberal "rent-a-mob" tactics for years but never expected it to go so public, so matter-of-fact. Would Orwell be laughing or spinning in his grave at this news?

IRS admits service and security stink, deflects blame to Prez
Oh, it's perfect! OBAMACARE COMPLIANCE is the stated reason why IRS activity is partly gutted:
IRS chief: Blame rotten customer service and data hacks on Obamacare
Both cybersecurity and customer service at the Internal Revenue Service have suffered because of Obamacare, the agency's head said in remarks to Congress on Thursday.
"Congress, as I noted in my testimony, has underfunded … the Affordable Care Act," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a panel of the House Appropriations Committee. "That does not remove the statutory mandate we have that we have to implement the act."
Koskinen delivered his remarks in response to a question from Chairman Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., who pointed out that Congress had "increased funding specifically for taxpayer services" in 2014 and 2016.
Koskinen said it didn't matter where Congress intended the money to go, explaining the agency had pulled funding for customer service and cybersecurity in order to ensure compliance with the ACA.
"As I said two years ago, at the continued level of underfunding, the things that were going to suffer were going to be enforcement, taxpayer service, and ultimately … information technology," Koskinen said.
More than eight million phone calls to the agency's customer service line went unanswered in the last filing season. Koskinen added that the agency hasn't fully funded customer service for the last "three or four years," and that about $900 million had been pulled from cybersecurity.,,...
Whoa, EIGHT MILLION CALLS to IRS "CUSTOMER SERVICE" went unanswered? That's more than 800 per working hour at 500 weeks peryear, apparently more than they're talking about! Hey -- "customer service" -- if they still insist on calling it that, it's got to be the worst record of it in any sector or corner of the global economy ever.
What better time than the present to demand what the "Service" is selling if we're its "customers"? But what other meaning do these terms have? What other entity on earth offers "customer service" if the only transaction is you giving them money for federal operations so removed from your real interests, needs and wants they might as well be on trans-Neptunian object (15760) 1992 QB1.
Just how much "security" do we have to have before we can actually feel secure again?
Etc.
