Thirty Years Ago Israel Deported Hamas. Clinton Made Israel Take It Back

Daniel Greenfield November 26, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

 “Deporting The Hope For Peace?” Newsweek asked. The hope for peace was Hamas.

The year was 1992. The Clinton administration was trying to get Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and the PLO’s Yasser Arafat to sign on the dotted line of the Oslo Accords to create a terror state inside Israel. In the name of peace. Unfortunately Hamas kept killing Israelis.

15-year-old Helena Rapp had been stabbed to death at a bus stop on the way to school. A few days later, Rabbi Shimon Biran, a father of four, was similarly murdered by an Islamic terrorist.

Fed up with the latest killings, Prime Minister Rabin put 417 Islamists terrorists on buses and dumped them in Lebanon. The monsters he deported included top Hamas terror leaders.

On the six buses were current Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh, Hamas co-founder Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, who would vow, “by Allah, we will not leave one Jew in Palestine”, Abu Osama, who helped draft the Hamas charter calling for the extermination of the Jews, Hamas co-founders Mohammed Taha, Hammad Al-Hasanat, and Mahmoud Zahar, who threatened “They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people”, Hamad Al-Bitawi, who proclaimed that “Jihad is a collective duty” along with Abdullah al-Shami, the head of Islamic Jihad, and many other present and future Islamic terror leaders deported to Lebanon.

The New York Times headlined its coverage, “Ousted Arabs Shiver and Wait in Lebanese Limbo”. Newsweek also sympathetically described how the Hamas terrorists were “shivering in the cold.” The Washington Post lingered on their handcuff “welts”. The Associated Press provided detailed coverage of their cases of diarrhea turning the bowel movements of Islamist terrorists into an item worthy of international coverage.

In reality the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists had been equipped by Israel with raincoats, blankets, food and $50 each: more than enough to buy whatever they needed in Lebanon.

“We are thirsty, cold and hungry,” said Dr. Abdul-Aziz Rantisi,” is how the Times began its story. It mentioned that Rantisi was planning a hunger strike, not that he was a terrorist leader.

The Los Angeles Times suggested that the “free speech” of the terrorists had been violated. It asked them to “define Hamas’ membership conditions” and ”many answered, ‘To pray and be good Muslims.’” That is how the media explained the Islamic terror group to Americans.

The Red Cross, which after over a month had failed to pay a visit to the Israeli hostages, including children and old women being held by Hamas, was quickly on the scene with “three truckloads of tents, food, blankets and bedding”. The aid organization set up tents for the Hamas terrorists who were apparently too lazy or incompetent to set up their own tents.

The head of UNRWA trekked out from Vienna to visit the expelled Hamas terrorists.

Bernard Pfefferle, the local chief delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross, wept, “They won’t survive the winter out there like this.” In fact, they survived just fine.

UN Under Secretary General James O. C. Jonah, Bernard Kouchner, France’s Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, and many other foreign dignitaries tried to visit the Hamas terrorists.

French Ambassador Daniel Husson asked to meet with the Hamas terrorists to “express France’s sympathy with their cause.”

Amnesty International organized a letter writing campaign whining that the Hamas deportees were “living in tents in freezing conditions” and demanding the “safe return of the deportees to Israel.” B’Tselem, a pro-terror ‘human rights’ group operating inside Israel, denounced the deportations as a “a flagrant violation of human rights”. During the Oct 7 attacks, Vivian Silver, a B’Tselem board member, was killed by the terrorists she had spent her life advocating for.

B’Tselem had been one of the pro-terrorist groups that had originally challenged the deportations in Israel’s leftist Supreme Court in a bid to keep Hamas inside Israel.

The media relentlessly covered the Hamas deportees the way it had failed to cover their victims. By the end, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi had held a record of 1,500 press conferences. Every time the Islamic terrorists sneezed there was a correspondent there to write about it, a photographer there to take a picture of it and a human rights activist there to condemn Israel for it.

Even if it was all a lie.

“EXPELLED PALESTINIANS RUN OUT OF WATER,” a Washington Post headline blared. In that same story the paper mentioned that they were getting their water from a stream. Other stories complained that they were running out of water while surrounded by snow.

One Associated Press story described a deportee eating a breakfast of jam, cheese and bread or beans and chickpeas with lemon sauce, and then a lunch of tuna fish or sardines, and then complaining, “I’m so sick of this food. I eat only to stay alive.”

In reality the Hamas and Islamic terrorists had plenty of food and water. At one point even a New York Times article admitted that “on Thursday, the Palestinians said that they had fasted during the day to preserve food stocks that had dwindled to some vermicelli and potatoes, with drinking water completely gone. Yet today, an Associated Press reporter said that the deported men were cooking rice, chickpeas and canned meat, and that some had eggs.”

A week after they were deported the New York Times claimed that the Hamas terrorists would start “dying from pneumonia” in a few days. None of them died even after seven months.

In reality, they were holding lavish religious feasts with Hezbollah and Iran’s IRGC terrorists. The tent city would become an enclave of television sets, fax machines, copy machines, cell phones, a fridge filled with soda and a satellite dish beaming Iranian television shows to them. 

Israel had dumped the Hamas terrorists in Lebanon, but the Hezbollah allied government refused to take them and blocked the road with tanks to keep them from leaving. The Lebanese government wouldn’t allow aid to pass through to the Hamas terrorists, but did allow reporters and camera crews through to document the “shivering” of the Hamas leaders.

In a foreshadowing of Egypt’s policy of blockading Gaza, Lebanon kept the Hamas terrorists from entering Lebanon. And the international community and the media placed the blame on Israel, rather than Lebanon, which was preventing them from entering its territory.

The UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 799 condemning the deportations of Hamas terrorists and demanding that Israel “ensure the safe and immediate return to the occupied territories of all those deported”.

The first Bush administration voted for the resolution even though it had shrugged when a year earlier, the Kuwaitis had expelled 200,000 ‘Palestinians’ using tanks and troops.

“I think we’re expecting a little much if we’re asking the people in Kuwait to take kindly to those that had spied on their countrymen that were left there, that had brutalized families there, and things of that nature,” President George H. W. Bush had observed.

Israelis however were supposed to take kindly to the Hamas terrorists massacring them. The Bush administration “strongly condemned” the deportations. Bill Clinton was no better.

“I share the anger and the frustration and the outrage of the Israeli people. And I understand how they feel. They have to deal very firmly with this group Hamas, which is apparently bent on terrorist activities of all kinds,” Clinton, who would soon be taking office, said. “On the other hand, I am concerned that this deportation may go too far and imperil the peace talks.”

“We are not sure that President-elect Clinton and his team fully comprehend the danger from Islamic fundamentalism,” Rabin had observed before his meeting with Bill Clinton.

The Clinton administration mostly certainly did not. But neither did Rabin.

Prime Minister Rabin had only temporarily deported the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists for two years to improve his domestic image and buy some quiet time for peace negotiations. His coalition of leftist and far leftist parties was soon divided between him and future Prime Minister Shimon Peres’s far leftist cabinet coalition. “No one is enjoying the suffering of these people,” Peres said. “Israel deported them, but it did not mean to hurt them.”

The leftist coalition Meretz party called deporting Hamas “a gross violation of human rights.”

Under pressure from the Clinton administration, which warned that it would not protect Israel from UN sanctions, and members of his own leftist coalition Rabin offered to allow the Hamas terrorists back if they promised to “desist from terror and violence for the duration of the peace negotiations”. The terrorists refused to promise that. And so he agreed to take in over a hundred of them now and the rest in a year. Hamas began returning to Israel in 1993.  The Hamas terrorists only agreed to return due to insufficient TV coverage of their antics.

"High among the reasons given by the Palestinian deportees for accepting Israel's effort to let about half of them back into the West Bank and Gaza next month was the deportees lack not of food or shelter, but of coverage by the news media -- meaning television," the New York Times reported.

30 years ago Israel had expelled the leadership of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and then took them back in.

Two weeks after Rabin agreed to take back the Hamas terrorists, the World Trade Center was bombed by the Islamic Group which, like Hamas, had come out of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Our struggle against murderous Islamic terror is also meant to awaken the world which is lying in slumber. We call on all nations and all people to devote their attention to the real and serious danger which threatens the peace of the world in the forthcoming years. The danger of death is at our doorstep,” Rabin had warned. But the world went on slumbering. And so did Israel.

In 2023, Israel and the world have the opportunity to undo or repeat the mistakes of 1993.

Bush, Clinton, Obama, Soros and Biden: Star-Studded Losers

May 8, 2023By Mychal Massie @ Daily Rant

If an award were to be given for the person(s) who has done the most to destroy America from within; George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George Soros and Obama would be tied at the top with Biden making a valiant effort to climb into the ignominious groupage.  Notwithstanding the behind the scenes efforts; Bush, Clinton and Obama are contributing from the shadows to pull the dead-from-the-neck-up Biden down the ladder into the godless abyss so-called American leadership is determined to render the United States.

Aided and abetted by the apparatchiks masquerading as a trustworthy media, the aforementioned have done more to destroy America from within than activist courts and public schools.  Jimmy Carter deserves honorable mention.

For those who haven’t been paying attention, John Binder, writing for Breitbart recently reported: “A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with America Express Global Business Travel to fly migrants into the United States.”  I argue they aren’t “migrants” they’re marauders and plunderers who have hit the world’s greatest jackpot, i.e., free passage to America and guaranteed free provisions upon arriving.  But, I digress.

Binder continued: “The NGO, called Welcome.US, was initially launched to work with…Biden’s administration in resettling some 85,000 Afghans across the U.S. in 2021 and 2022 as Breitbart News reported extensively at the time.”  I vehemently disagree with the assignation “resettling.”  They aren’t being resettled; they’re being giving the keys to the kingdom with no loyalty and commitment to America.  But again, I digress.

“The NGO also has ties to billionaire George Soros, as members of his Open Society Foundation sit on the group’s “National Welcome Council.”

Apart from assembling Mao, Marx, Stalin, Lenin, and W.E.B. du Bois into one organization for the supposed purpose of community wellbeing, it would be hard to imagine a more demonic camarilla of marplots than those I reference.

There’s no upside to the American taxpayers for government rolling out the red carpet to those who aren’t interested in being loyal to America.  Those who migrated here legally with dignity and honor are proud to be Americans.  This is the grandest form of larceny ever perpetrated on a domestic populace as a whole.

The facts do not change from what I have written over the years.  The only change is the uncontrolled increase in the cost of providing for those who should be provided for in their countries of origin and the amount of money they are sending out of the country. back to their countries of origin.

Bush stood on foreign soil in Sofia, Bulgaria and flung dung encrusted insult in the faces of Americans when he boasted: “I’ll see you at the signing,” referencing the immigration bill we were fighting against being passed.

Together, those referenced herein have an uninterrupted record of deconstructing America, as we knew it.

Obama is responsible for the murder of U.S. border enforcement officers thanks to his illegal gunrunning operation from the American border into Mexico, euphemistically named “Fast and Furious.”  To this day we do not have the exact count of the Mexicans murdered by those fully automatic weapons.  Those murdered included high-ranking Mexican officials.  Neither do we have any idea how many of those weapons found their way back into America in the hands of drug dealers and gangs killing Americans.

Obama is responsible for the murder of Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Ambassador Christopher Stevens murdered in Benghazi September 11, 2011, as he watched in real time from the situation room before going to his private quarters for dinner and then a Hollywood campaign fundraising event in California.  The blood of those murders still drips from his hands.  The proximity of American bases to Benghazi provided the support necessary to saved the lives of those men, but Obama was more interested in preventing the revelation of Hillary’s Middle East weapons operation.

Bush is responsible for the lives of those lost in the Middle Eastern war in the aftermath of the Muslim murdering of thousands in the heinous terrorist attack September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Towers in New York.

Bill Clinton is responsible for not only the September 11, 2001 World Trade Towers Muslim terrorist attack in New York, but many more Muslim acts of terrorism domestically and around the world.

Sudan’s President Bashir had offered to hand bin Laden over on a silver platter long before his reign of global terrorism.  Bashir’s government had compiled intelligence of bin Laden’s daily activities, as well as detailed intelligence concerning his finances.  But Clinton’s administration refused Khartoum’s offer.

Now, with this and volumes more evidence of the cost to our infrastructure and countless lost of life specifically because of these violators of We the People; they rebrand themselves under the guise of altruism – setting the stage for the further decline of America.

I conclude with the words of my late Grandmother who often said: “You will be surprised what you can see when you open your eyes.”  What those with eyes to see are witnessing, is the broad highway culminating in the world’s complete destruction as detailed by Christ Himself in scripture.

P&D Geopolitical Edition

By Rich Kozlovich

On February 12, 2023 Jeff Crouere published this piece in Canada Free Press, China: Our Teflon Enemy, saying:

The communist dictators of China are brutal authoritarians who have been repressing the basic human rights of their own people for decades. In China, citizens do not have an independent media or the freedom to speak, assemble, petition their government, or practice their religious faith. 

All of which are violations of the UN Charter.  He goes on to discuss how China viciously crushed the freedom movement in Hong Kong.  The human rights abuses against 12 million Muslims, even the children aren't safe.  The brutality of the Tienanmen Square stand off with thousand arrested and murdered. 

Sadly, China did not have to pay much of a penalty for this mass killing of peaceful demonstrators. President George H. W. Bush criticized the barbarous behavior, suspended some diplomatic exchanges, and curtailed military sales. While some minor economic sanctions were imposed, nothing significant was done to hinder the progression of U.S.-China relations.

They did nothing to stop the spying from China, the did so little to punish China for their crimes against humanity, it amounted to nothing.  The big show made by America's leaders was just that, a big show, because the economic business continued as usual.  They sold out the nation in favor of greedy and corrupt multinational corporations, and that's been made obvious by the actions and words of the leaders of the World Economic Forum at Davos this year. 

By the Clinton administration, the Chinese had ramped up massive espionage in our country. In 1995, a classified document from the Chinese government was given to the Clinton administration. It showed that the Chinese had stolen “information on the W-88 and half a dozen other U.S. nuclear warheads.” In 1999, the Congress released the “Cox Report” which determined that China had been “stealing” secrets at U.S. nuclear laboratories for “at least the past several decades.”

Communism and fascism are two side of the same coin, socialism.  For decades we've seen the corrupt cowards at the UN condemn Israel for having the "audacity" to defend itself against the most evil movement to ever to exist, Islam.  Socialism comes in second only because it hasn't been in existence as long.  Yet this evil movement and the inhuman actions by it's adherents such as Cuba, China, are Russia are not only ignored, they've actually had seats on the UN Human Rights Council.

Why are they ever admitted?  Why are they allowed to continue to be members?  The world knows China is right now guilty of perpetrating crimes against humanity.  The world knows Russia violated the security of Ukraine launching an undeclared and unprovoked war against that nation.  All violations of the UN Charter.  So, why are Russia and China on the Security Council?  Because The UN is the most corrupt and incompetent organization on the planet, and everyone knows it, so that brings me to the real question that needs answering.

If all that I've said is true, and it is!  And if every leader in the world knows it, and they do, why has the United States, the nation that pays most of the bills, chosen to still a part of the UN?    

Hey, Uncle Sam: Stop paying people for not working

Stephen Moore drubs Biden for ending welfare requirements that worked well during Clinton year

By Stephen Moore April 3, 2023 

A policy question these days that has befuddled federal lawmakers is why so many millions of people have not returned to the workplace in the post-COVID-19 era. The labor force participation rate among employable adults is near a record low today. There are at least 2 million to 4 million employable adults who could and should be working but aren't.............House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., and the Republican Congress in 1996 passed a historic bipartisan welfare reform bill that President Bill Clinton signed into law. That law required able-bodied welfare recipients to be in a job or training/education program to qualify for welfare assistance. It also placed time limits on welfare so it would not become a way of life.............Despite these stunning successes, President Joe Biden eviscerated all work requirements during COVID-19, and they haven't returned. The House Ways and Means Committee reports that less than half of Americans collecting welfare benefits today are working. The Biden administration opposes work requirements.............But welfare is supposed to be temporary and a hand-up, not a handout. The goal of welfare was to end poverty, not perpetuate it.................To Read More.....

Mark Levin quoted me on his Fox News TV show tonight about Bill Clinton selling America out to the Communist Chinese

Flashback: Bill Clinton Gave China Missile Technology

By Matthew Vadum ——Bio and Archives--September 12, 2022

Mark Levin quoted me on his Fox News TV show, “Life, Liberty, and Levin,” tonight (Sept. 11, 2022).  The article he quoted from is “Flashback: Bill Clinton gave China missile technology,” which was reposted after originally being published by FrontPage Mag.

Flashback: Bill Clinton Gave China Missile Technology

With all this talk of Russians allegedly interfering in U.S. elections, it is worth recalling that it wasn’t too long ago that the previous Democrat in the White House betrayed America by working hand in hand with our Communist enemies in mainland China.  As president, Bill Clinton essentially wiped out any strategic advantage the U.S. had by selling advanced U.S. missile technology to our enemy, the People’s Republic of China............To Read More.....

Techno Fog: In Effort to Keep Records From Special Counsel Durham, Clinton Campaign Says Fusion GPS Provided Legal Advice – Durham Responds

By Cristina Laila April 23, 2022 521 Comments

The battle over documents and e-mails in the Michael Sussmann case just got hotter. Back in August 2017, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee, explaining how his firm was retained to gather “lots of facts about Donald Trump.” He admitted that Fusion GPS met with reporters leading up to the 2016 election to spread opposition research against then-candidate Trump.

The context of Perkins Coie’s retention of Fusion GPS was further explained in a book co-authored by Simpson and Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch. They documented an April 20, 2016 meeting with Mark Elias (Perkins Coie partner and counsel for the DNC/Clinton Campaign), where Elias requested their services for opposition research:..........To Read More....

Commentary: A China Story Bob Woodward Chose Not to Tell

https://theohiostar.com/2021/09/19/commentary-a-china-story-bob-woodward-chose-not-to-tell/ 

 

September 19, 2021  by Jack Cashill

In a just world, if the reporting of Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in their new book Peril is accurate, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley would be sharpening his ceremonial sword and planning seppuku. Woodward and Costa have reported that Milley circumvented the chain of command and made unauthorized calls to CCP Gen. Li Zuocheng.

If Woodward and Costa got the story wrong, however, they should be the ones sharpening their swords. Although more reliable than most in Big Media, Woodward has reported many stories of questionable accuracy over the years. There was the dubious “potted plant” signal for the equally dubious “Deep Throat,” the imaginative deathbed confession of CIA Director William Casey, and the misinterpreted “slam dunk” quote by former CIA Director George Tenet among others...........he has repeatedly betrayed the American public by ignoring stories of major consequence. As it happens, his single greatest oversight involves China, specifically its role in the 1996 presidential election............ somehow he failed to mention that Chinese interests bought and paid for President Bill Clinton’s victory over Bob Dole. To miss the most striking feature of a campaign he covered in depth suggests not incompetence on Woodward’s part, but complicity...........

............ Clinton paid his Chinese loan sharks some of their vig by getting their “man in America,” John Huang, a job in the Commerce Department. In May of that same year, Clinton paid more of it by “delinking” human rights from the renewal of China’s most favored nation status............

............in February 1996 when a Chinese Long March 3B rocket crashed just after liftoff. This was the third such failure in three years involving U.S.-built satellite payloads, in this case a Loral-built Intelsat 708. Happily for Loral, however, its CEO Bernie Schwartz had a friend in the White House. In the 1996 campaign, no individual donor gave more soft money to the DNC than Schwartz.

In March 1996, Clinton overruled his own State Department and awarded authority over satellite-export licensing to the notoriously corrupt Commerce Department, temporary home of one John Huang. In April 1996, Commerce and the Clinton White House turned a blind eye when a Loral-led review team helped the Chinese military make necessary refinements in the Long March rocket...........

For the next twenty-five years, Woodward managed to vastly underestimate the significance of one story after another. In the Obama years alone, Woodward, the paragon of American journalism, missed Fast and Furious, the IRS suppression of the Tea Party, the Pigford scandal, Benghazi, the Obamacare fiasco, and, incredibly, the Russia collusion hoax..................That clowns like the general are running this country is a testament to Woodward’s half-century of willful blindness............To Read More....

 

KENDRA HAS IT FIGURED OUT!

An utterly corrupt gang of thugs, still at it and visible to all willing to look, can get away with surrendering and selling out our nation and our nation's allies to civilization’s enemies, for personal gain?

By Andrew G. Benjamin ——Bio and Archives--August 28, 2021 @ Canada Free Press

Cover Story | 4 Comments | Reader Friendly | Subscribe | Email Us

Indeed, Kendra figured it all out....and more!

The Taliban, a terrorist gang of tens of thousands, allied with ISIS and al Q’aeda, now have America’s most advanced military gear in their hands.

An air force with the most comprehensive inventory of COBRA helicopters, with the Cobra’s top secret avionics, electronic communications and targeting systems, advanced weapons sytems, night vision and thermal imaging; hundreds of America’s state-of-the-art M-1117 IED-resistant vehicles, tanks, mobile artillery, missiles, munitions, and tens of thousands of very lethal automatic small arms. 

What will the Taliban do with these? 

Try this: kill American and coalition troops, their own civilians too, and sell the gear they cannot master to the highest bidders: Russia, China, Iran................for billions—flood the world with opiates for more billions.

There is a history and pattern from the America-hating presidents who got us here – as the sequence was predictable. It is so, because patterns are predictable and history means one event follows another.

President Clinton (D) gave China advanced missile technology for secret campaign contributions, and later campaign contributions to get Hillary (D) elected.

Barack Obama (D) took Russian collusion promises, as he removed American defensive missiles out of Europe that safeguarded Ukraine from invasion. And later accused Donald Trump (R) of Russia Collusion.

Guess what really happened?

By rejecting the America-friendly Shah of Iran, Jimmy Carter (D) made sure Americans will be taken as hostages by advancing the cause of the Mullahs, and abandoning our American ally. 

With a single promise to Iran’s mullahs, Ronald Reagan (R) got our hostages released.

Because America deserved it.

Barack Obama (D) and his veep Joe Biden (D) made sure Americans were again taken hostages by Iran.

And then apologized to Iran for Iran’s taking American hostages. 

Because America deserved it.

Meanwhile the same Barack Obama (D) and Joe Biden (D) released from America the very same terrorists who just conquered Afghanistan. 

Because America deserved it.

Under Barack Obama (D) and Joe Biden (D), ISIS grew 4400 percent by the estimates of Obama’s own CIA head.

Because America deserved it…

Crushed in Iraq and Syria by Donald Trump (R), ISIS and al Q’aeda just reconstituted themselves and moved into Afghanistan to join the very terrorists Barack Obama (D) with Joe Biden (D) released from GITMO.

Thanks to courtesy of Team Biden-Harris (D, D), the Taliban’s ideological mates, ISIS and al Q’aeda, returned to Afghanistan. This time outfitted by Obama-Biden-Harris-Blinken-Pentagon’s WOKE generals (12 Ds), with an entire air force and weapons greater in power and sophistication than the standing armies of most of Europe’s advanced and wealthy nations.

Or connect the dots to a President WHO HATED HIS OWN NATION and proved through his record of activities he was in it to win it. Win it, to destroy his own nation. See the link of June 2, 2009 above.

Or connect the dots to the one who is pulling the strings to make sure his nation was permanently damaged.

After all, he sprinted out of the gate in 2009 to tell the world bluntly that his nation was not worthy!

Not worthy of respect, not worthy to succeed, not worthy to win a war.

And then stayed behind in Washington DC to make sure his agenda will succeed. 

WASHINGTON TIMES, April 19, 2012 - 9 years ago almost to the day: 

“President Obama has lost Afghanistan. The war is turning into a catastrophic defeat - one that will be worse than Vietnam…..”

LETS SEE IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT—VIDEO

 

Defending Bill Clinton’s Welfare Reform

March 18, 2021 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty  

 Here are four things to understand about poverty and dependency.

 

• Throughout most of human history, harsh material deprivation was the norm for the vast majority of people.
• The development of free enterprise and economic liberty led to dramatic increases in living standards.
• The poverty rate declined significantly in the 1800s and early 1900s when there was no welfare state.
• After the welfare state was created, poverty and dependency stopped declining.

Throughout most of human history, harsh material deprivation

•   was the norm for the vast majority of people.
• The development of free enterprise and economic liberty led to dramatic increases in living standards.
• The poverty rate declined significantly in the 1800s and early 1900s when there was no welfare state.
• After the welfare state was created, poverty and dependency stopped declining.

Now let’s add a fifth item.

• The United States adopted welfare reform in the mid-1990s.

Today’s column examines whether this was a bad development or good development. We’ll start with a harsh critic.  In his column for the New York Times, Charles Blow wants Democrats to repeal Clinton’s welfare reform.

Clinton’s record, particularly with respect to Black and brown Americans and the poor, was marked by catastrophic miscalculation. …the welfare reform bill, …Clinton promised would “end welfare as we know it.” One of its central provisions was block-grant assistance to the states. …the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities pointed out in 2020, the block grant to states “has been set at $16.5 billion each year since 1996; as a result, its real value has fallen by almost 40 percent due to inflation.” …With the passage of the “American Rescue Plan,” the Democrats, alone, took another major step away from the mistakes of the Clinton legacy by increasing aid to families with children and to workers.

Reading the column, it seems like blacks must have suffered immensely because of the 40 percent reduction in the block grant. But now let’s consider whether welfare reform was a good thing.  According to the data, the answer is yes. This chart, based on the Census Bureau’s data (specifically Table B-5), shows that the poverty rate for African Americans has declined since welfare reform was enacted.

To be sure, one could argue that the post-welfare reform decline was simply a continuation of a positive trend. But that doesn’t change the fact that there’s certainly no evidence that the 1996 legislation led to bad results.

 

Moreover, research from the Brookings Institution makes a persuasive case that welfare reform deserves credit for some of the post-1996 progress.  Why? Because it sent a message – both practically and rhetorically – that permanent dependence on Uncle Sam was a bad thing. As a result, more people entered the workforce and poverty dropped.  That seems like a result that should be celebrated.

 

Unfortunately, Biden’s so-called American Rescue Plan contains big per-child handouts that are not dependent on being in the workforce. The only silver lining to that dark cloud is that the handouts are only for 2021.  But the pro-redistribution crowd already is clamoring to make that provision a permanent giveaway. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, they want to “restore welfare as we knew it.”

P.S. Based on what I’ve read in his columns, Charles Blow is a hard-core leftist on economic issues. But he’s semi-reasonable on gun rights, so that’s one point in his favor.

P.P.S. Welfare reform is just one example of the good policies that were enacted during the Clinton years.

P.P.P.S. We can learn lessons about welfare and dependency by looking at data from Europe and Canada.

 

Left-Wing Terrorists Bombed The Senate In 1983. Bill Clinton Let Them Out Of Prison Early — At Jerry Nadler’s Request

January 11, 2021 By Tristan Justice

On his final day in office, Jan. 20, 2001, President Bill Clinton commuted the sentences of a pair of radical leftists serving time for bombing the U.S. Capitol building, where a 1983 blast shattered the second floor of the Senate wing.

Fact: House Judiciary Committee Chairman @RepJerryNadler got President Clinton to pardon terrorist Susan Rosenberg, who planted a bomb outside the US Senate chamber in 1983 to try to assassinate Republican senators. pic.twitter.com/5AaKYao5FK

— J Michael Waller (@JMichaelWaller) January 9, 2021

Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg each served 16 years of lengthy sentences, with Rosenberg escaping 42 years of a 58-year sentence and Evans cutting short a 40-year sentence by 24 years.............Rosenberg is now a prominent left-wing activist, who, early last summer sat on the board of Thousand Currents which poured $10 million into causes for social justice including Black Lives Matter, according to Fox News..........

New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, who today serves as the House Judiciary Committee chairman, played a “crucial role” in Clinton’s decision to commute Rosenberg’s sentence..........Nadler, in his role as House Judiciary chair, has been among the most vocal in Congress, outraged at the Capitol chaos that ensued and demanding that the president be impeached after failing to successfully remove Trump last year. ...........To Read More....

• Remember when lefties stormed into and occupied a Senate office building in 2018 and the Wisconsin State Capitol in 2011?
•  Remember when the Democrats rioted?
•  As the Republic dies, Congress bathes in self-pity

My Take - George Carlin remarked, 'Think about how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupidier than that". He also remarked, "never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." So the answer to your question is - no one can anticipate when mass stupidity will strike, and no one can plan for it.

January 11, 2021 By Tristan Justice

On his final day in office, Jan. 20, 2001, President Bill Clinton commuted the sentences of a pair of radical leftists serving time for bombing the U.S. Capitol building, where a 1983 blast shattered the second floor of the Senate wing.

Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg each served 16 years of lengthy sentences, with Rosenberg escaping 42 years of a 58-year sentence and Evans cutting short a 40-year sentence by 24 years.

The FBI landed formal indictments on Evans and Rosenberg in the 1988 “Resistance Conspiracy” case for their involvement in the bombing of the Capitol along with five others. Evans and Rosenberg had already been in police custody for other crimes of the radical left-wing terror group May 19th Communist Organization (M19), named for the birthdays of Malcolm X and Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh. According to a historical chronology of the left-wing group by the Smithsonian Magazine, M19 also carried out successful bombings of an FBI office, the Israel Aircraft Industries building, the South African consulate in New York, and D.C.’s Fort McNair and Navy Yard..........To Read More.....

No Flies on Hillary

Posted by Daniel Greenfield 17 Comments @ Sultan Knish Blog Originally published in 2016

 “Let me just start out by saying that so much of what he just said is not right,” Hillary began.

And then while 63 million people watched, a member of Musca domestica, or the common housefly, landed and perched near her eye.

Trump had just wrapped up a thorough takedown of the Clintons and their abuse of women. “There’s never been anybody in the history politics in this nation that’s been so abusive to women,” he said. The camera cut to a stone-faced Bill Clinton sitting unmoving in the VIP box.

“Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously. Four of them here tonight. One of the women, who is a wonderful woman, at 12 years old, was raped at 12. Her client she represented got him off, and she’s seen laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl who was raped. Kathy Shelton, that young woman is here with us tonight,” he said.

Kathy Shelton had been beaten and raped into a coma by Hillary’s client. On tape, Hillary could be heard laughing as she recalled how she had gotten her rapist off while accusing Kathy of making it all up.

“I think she should be ashamed of herself,” Trump concluded. The audience applauded. ABC’s Martha Raddatz, Hillary’s venomous proxy among the debate moderators, sourly told the audience to shut up.

With her patented false chuckle, Hillary launched into her rebuttal as the fly perched on her.

The media, which can take a story about Hillary laughing about the rape of a 12-year-old girl (Vox: She did it for the Constitution) or leaving Americans to die at the hands of her Muslim terrorists in Benghazi and then lying about (The New York Times: It was a spontaneous protest) jumped into action.

CBS dug deep into its vault of stupid and declared that the fly was really a Native American totem “delivering a unique message” to help her “steady her emotions” after Trump’s attack. The “Tiffany Network” based this on a source which claims to have “life-long abilities” connecting with people, through “telepathy, energy awareness, clairvoyance and clairsentience”.

“Was it nature’s way of delivering a message to the Democratic nominee?” CBS asked.

In the bleary eyes of the press, even the fly landing on Hillary was the universe’s way of helping her against Trump. One might even say that the fly was an honorary member of the mainstream media trying to convey messages of reassurances from the media’s posh dungheap.

A quote from a less New Age source that went viral on social media however came from the Talmud; “The evil spirit is like a fly that lies at the door of the human heart.” Rav, the Talmudic scholar, used Ecclesiastes 10:1 as his source, "Dead flies make the ointment of the perfumer fetid and putrid".

King Solomon went on to write, "Dead flies make the ointment of the perfumer fetid and putrid; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor. A wise man's understanding is at his right hand; but a fool's understanding at his left.” Underneath Hillary’s favorite perfume (“Angel” by Thierry Mugle) is the smell of putrefaction that attracts flies. Her understanding is that of the left and the left is an evil foolishness.

The 15th century Spanish Jewish scholar, Rabbi Arama, wrote in the Akeidas Yitzchak, that, “He who prefers the rewards that originate from the left side is foolish” because they provide only “transient values”. Transient values are mortal. Unlike wisdom and honor, they perish swiftly.

The folly of the Clintons has outweighed any wisdom and honor they might have had. They have gained enormous wealth and prestige, yet even their own supporters despise their rottenness.

The only creature attracted to them is the fly.

The fly is a carrion symbol. It is drawn to dead and dying things. Even in the Native American legends that CBS desperately tried to invoke to turn the fly into a positive symbol it is the creature that brought death into the world. Putrefaction is what the Clintons brought to America. The fly is their perfect symbol. They are greedy creatures of rot, surrounded by filth and wallowing in their own vileness.

Hillary Clinton has presided over massive theft, corruption and the complete collapse of our foreign policy. From her modest days of turning $1,000 in cattle futures back in Arkansas into $100,000 with a little help from some key influential friends, she moved up to delivering six figure speeches to anyone willing to invest in Clinton futures in Washington D.C.

The Clintons raked in $153 million in speaking fees alone. Is there anyone who has sat through a Hillary speech this election season and thought that it was worth 50 cents, let alone the $280,000 paid by Germany’s Deutsche Bank, the $335,000 paid by the Biotechnology Industry Organization or the $325,000 paid by the National Automobile Dealers Association?

Those weren’t speaking fees. They were illegal campaign contributions.

And then there’s the Clinton Foundation, a gargantuan organization where the revenues run to $149 million a year, and whose real mission was to function as a slush fund for the Clinton campaign. As a charity, the Clinton Foundation was incredibly useless. It spent a small percentage of its loot on anything resembling charity. Much of the money went to employing key Clinton people like Huma Abedin.

Even when the Clinton Foundation tried to perform its good deed for the year, it cut corners on charity to keep up its core mission of getting Hillary into the White House. It shipped AIDS medicines that had been banned in the United States to the Third World. Haitians protested outside Hillary’s office over the millions that had been raised for Haiti, but got funneled to Hillary pals like Warren Buffett instead.

As Secretary of State, she presided over the complete collapse of national power and influence. When she took office, America was taken seriously around the world. When she left office, we were a joke.

Russia and China had succeeded in smacking around our allies and expanding their territory. They escalated their hacking campaigns into cyberwarfare attacks that stole our most vital secrets. Islamic terrorists took control of much of the Middle East. They murdered one of our ambassadors and attacked our embassies and missions. And the Clintons kept on getting richer from their dirty deals.

While the People’s Republic of China pushed aggressively into the South China Sea and launched cyberwarfare attacks against us, Bill Clinton took home $200,000 from its organs, including the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry. The Ministry is believed to have played a role in PRC hacking attacks.

Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Clintons and their shell Foundation had pocketed $145 million from them. Bill Clinton was paid $500K for a speech by a bank linked to the FSB, the secret organization formerly known as the KGB. It was quite a Moscow comeback for Bill from his original trip there that had also been conducted under the auspices of individuals and groups linked to the KGB.

The Clintons are attracted to corruption the way that flies are drawn to offal. The media can spot no flies on Hillary. Its fact checkers excuse every scandal. They even invent a positive spin for a fly landing on her. The ordinary fly visiting Hillary may hold no special meaning. But flies are notoriously attracted to rotting things. And no political figures in this country are as rotten to the core as the Clintons.

The media may not be able to scent the rot of the Clintons, but a humble housefly can.

Can You Smell the Horsepucky?

By Rich Kozlovich

(Editor's Note:  I published this in 2016 regarding the 2016 election, but just change Hillary to Biden, and it's the same story, the same pattern is playing out now.  RK) 

I've heard Clinton sycophants drooling how Hillary is sooooo smart.  Name one smart thing she ever did in her entire life, and graduating from high school or finishing college can't be among them. 

From the time she was a staffer during the Watergate hearings (circa 1972)  where she was fired “Because she was a liar,”  “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality”, her whole life has been filled with lies and corruption? 

Take a look at  Hillary Clinton's cloud of corruption.
 

Selling horsepucky as perfume has been her stock in trade all of her life.  So how insane can the leftists in the Democratic party be to pick her as their candidate?  It's simple.  Lying and corruption is policy is stock in trade for leftism.  She's the perfect candidate for the left - she's their mirror of reflection.

Oh, one more thing.  Talk about Horsepucky.  Bill Clinton "Serial philanderer says, 'I married my best friend'"  So he cheated on her with every woman he could get his hands on....and she's his best friend?  Wow!  What would he do if he didn't like her?  What would he do to anyone else he didn't like?  If he was an actor he'd get an Oscar for lifetime achievement. 

The Bushes, the Clintons, China... and Trump

September 14, 2020 By Julio Rivera

The Clinton, Bush, and Trump families will forever be intertwined in not just American history, but the history of the world. The past several years have certainly seen a major change in what once seemed to be a warm relationship between the Trumps and the Clintons, two elite New York clans inhabiting similar circles that have now become the political equivalent of the Hatfields and McCoys. To a lesser extent, because they never seemed particularly close, the same can be said about the Trump and Bush families as well.

We also all remember prior to his being nominated as the Republican presidential candidate in 2016, that President Trump had to contend with the man who was considered by many the most powerful threat to his possible presidency in the GOP establishment -- former Florida governor Jeb Bush. During the early portion of the primary, Bush, whose campaign never recovered from the early attacks from Trump, was continually embarrassed and even seemingly bullied by the cocksure future president.

But, despite a past prior to politics that was full of congenial exchanges, former candidate Trump was well aware of the failures of the Clinton and both Bush administrations, as much of his “America First” policy was predicated on undoing the damage of a combined 20 years of pro-Globalist American leadership.

At the top of the list of these failures is the issue of America’s previous China polices..........To Read More.....

With the Epstein Documents Unsealed, The FBI Is Dragged Back into the Limelight...And It's Not Good

Matt Vespa Jul 31, 2020

 Well, last night they were unsealed. The Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell documents were unsealed. There some new stuff, some old stuff, but frankly, most of the creepy allegations that you already knew were further corroborated.

We have witness statements. We have emails allegedly sent between Epstein and Maxwell, where the former coaches her in how to deny the allegations lobbed against him. Maxwell, as noted in other reports, appears to be a key player in this alleged child trafficking scheme. She’s the one who allegedly orders these underage girls to give erotic massages. And yes, Bill Clinton is named in these documents as someone who was on Epstein’s island with Maxwell, and two young girls. Remember, these are merely allegations, but there’s a lot of smoke here. Enough to indict Epstein before his suicide, another event engulfed in controversy.

Alan Dershowitz, a renowned liberal attorney, is also named in these documents. I’ll let you read the allegations against him. What’s new is that it appears the Federal Bureau of Investigation were quite privy to the creepy allegations and activities that surrounded Mr. Epstein—and they did nothing about it. In 2014, they were in contact with an alleged victim and did nothing. One victim even contacted the FBI to see if they could turn over the items seized from Epstein’s property to assist in her civil case. One of the victims who came forward is featured in a picture with Prince Andrew and Maxwell. The FBI had their own file on this for years, even before the bureau interview the alleged victim in 2011. The plea deal is also included. It seems it went ahead before federal authorities had interviewed all of Epstein’s alleged victims...............To Read More....

My Take - A number of things seem clear to me.

• First, it seems clear Epstein's suicide wasn't. 
• Second, it seem clear, based on Epstien's "suicide" Maxwell was in hiding in fear for her life as she was in fear of her arrest. 
•  Third, it seem clear to me if she wants to ever see freedom again, she's going to have to spill her guts about all her "clients", and they are big name and powerful people. 
• Fourth, these powerful people can only stay out of prison if Trump is defeated.

FBI Docs: Source For Federal Surveillance Of Trump Campaign Made Up "Rumors" With Drinking Buddie

By Paul Sperry July 27, 2020

The mysterious "Primary Subsource" that Christopher Steele has long hidden behind to defend his discredited Trump-Russia dossier is a former Brookings Institution analyst - Igor "Iggy" Danchenko, a Russian national whose past includes criminal convictions and other personal baggage ignored by the FBI in vetting him and the information he fed to Steele, according to congressional sources and records obtained by RealClearInvestigations. Agents continued to use the dossier as grounds to investigate President Trump and put his advisers under counter-espionage surveillance.

The 42-year-old Danchenko, who was hired by Steele in 2016 to deploy a network of sources to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia for the Hillary Clinton campaign, was arrested, jailed and convicted years earlier on multiple public drunkenness and disorderly conduct charges in the Washington area and ordered to undergo substance-abuse and mental-health counseling, according to criminal records............To Read More.....

Arming China -- The Bill Clinton Connection

We even sold them our factories.

Thu Mar 19, 2020 Michael Ledeen  70  

Conversations on social media are beginning to stress the urgency of reconsidering our relationship with the People’s Republic of China. It was only recently that most Americans discovered that most of our pharmaceuticals are manufactured in China, and that the Chinese are in a position to withhold them during an emergency of the sort we now face.

Recent stories have documented Chinese espionage, including the bribery of top American biochemists at places like Harvard, that entailed the constant travel of U.S. experts between China and the United States. Given the short memories of American political leaders, these stories have made it appear as though espionage is of very recent vintage.

But it is not so. The United States has been arming China for more than 20 years.

In the Spring of 1997, Stephen Bryen and I wrote a detailed account in Heterodoxy, a magazine edited by David Horowitz and Peter Collier, dealing with American export controls of militarily useful technology. It was entered into the Congressional Record by Tillie Fowler, a Florida representative.

The theme of the account was how the Clinton Administration was arming China. Knowingly and deliberately.

It is often said that, in the world of advanced technology, embargoes or export controls cannot possibly work, because if they don't get it from us, they'll get it from somebody else.  This is false. To compete with the U.S. militarily, China has to get our technology, and, most of the time, that means getting it directly from us.

Steve and I knew that Bill Clinton and his foreign policy team were busily arming Beijing, which in turn armed “rogue nations” such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya. Remember this all happened about 25 years ago. We noted that, on the one hand, it did make sense to sell a very limited amount of advanced military technology to the Communist Chinese, for example devices for nuclear safety, or for certain military systems with important civilian applications, such as satellite launchers. But the Clinton Administration was not doing that. Instead, it was executing a deliberate policy—apparently one that had full approval from the top levels of the Administration, despite the vigorous opposition from government agencies and from individual officials infuriated at the flow of top technology to China. This often took the form of selling off some of our finest factories to China, at pennies on the dollar, and included our finest supercomputers and the key element to modern jet engines, which had been blocked for export to the Soviet bloc.

The Pentagon redefined supercomputers as “civilian” products, and some 46 of them, including IBM, Convex (later, Hewlett Packard) and Silicon Graphics, were sold, many of them to the Chinese defense industry, or being put to use in nuclear weapons design...........To Read More...

Tick...tick...tick — the stench of Epstein closing in on Bill Clinton

January 9, 2020 By Monica Showalter

Much of the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein "pedophilia among the powerful" scandal has fallen onto Prince Andrew of the U.K., an insignificant second son of Queen Elizabeth II.  The pervert's suicide, though, and the increasingly suspicion-arousing circumstances, point to much more important people.  As I've argued before, the media scrum around Andrew seemed to be an attempt to deflect attention from more powerful players involved with Epstein as the story burns out and the public loses interest.

Beneficiary number one remains Bill Clinton, whose associations with Epstein are pretty astonishing.  He's been listed on the flight logs of more than two dozen Epstein "Lolita Express" flights.  He's been a regular at Epstein's "cowboy village" in New Mexico with its group showers, which, based on the word of maintenance staff, seemed to be all about perversion out of the public eye.  He's been seen with all those candy-stripers.

Well, now the lid's starting to bounce on that boiling pot, and maybe too soon for Bill's taste.  The Sun of the U.K.'s new U.S. edition now has an astonishing series of photos of Clinton livin' it up on Epstein's airplanes, Clinton posing with Epstein's accused pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Clinton whooping it up with underage staff, generally partying hearty on the pervert's dime.  Yet to this day, he claims to know nothing about what Epstein was about, never noticed a thing.......To Read More...

Benghazi Scandal: Email Shows Military Offered to Rescue Benghazi Victims

Benghazi Scandal: Email Shows Military Offered to Rescue Benghazi Victims

by David French November 1, 2016                     

 

He just accused Republicans of degrading political discourse while doing the exact same thing. If you think political discourse has a chance to return to sanity after 2016, you’re woefully mistaken. Despite the looming specter of a Trump presidency, some on the Left still can’t think straight, still can’t see straight, and still litigate the political disputes of the past as if mainstream Republicans were wild-eyed fanatics straight out of dystopian fiction.
 

It’s hardly new or original to note that the Left has “cried wolf” so long about Republicans that accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, and islamophobia now fall on deaf ears. Indeed, it’s worth remembering the hysterics of the past. Remember when MSNBC’s Touré charged Mitt Romney with the “niggerization” of Obama because Romney had called the president “angry?” Remember when it was racist to critique Obama for playing too much golf? Remember when Mitt Romney killed people by denying them health care?......To Read More.....
