Levin: Here’s why the media is lying to you about Mick Mulvaney’s Ukraine comments

Thursday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin discussed a press conference held by acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney held earlier that day and how the mainstream media covered it.

During the press briefing at the White House, Mulvaney explained that foreign aid to the Ukraine was held up over the summer in order to see if the country would commit to cooperate with an ongoing Department of Justice investigation regarding potential corruption in the 2016 election. Several in the media said that the acting chief admitted to a “quid pro quo” with Ukrainian officials, which is central to Democrats’ and the media’s Trump impeachment narrative.

Mulvaney explained that conditioning aid money happens “all the time with foreign policy,” adding that funding was being withheld from Central American countries at the same time in order to force their cooperation on immigration policy.

“There is an investigation going on with the Department of Justice. We all know this. [Attorney General] Bill Barr announced it way back when,” Levin explained.

“President of the United States says ‘I want the Ukrainian government to cooperate,’ as he wants the Italian government, the Australian government, and other governments to cooperate. Why is this a scandal? Why is this a problem? It’s not.”

Levin concluded, “The problem is the media do not want Joe Biden investigated. The media do not want the DNC investigated, the Hillary Clinton campaign investigated, they do not want it. They don’t want it.”

Were Media Journalists & President Trump’s Allies Targeted by the State Department?

Judicial Watch is investigating if prominent conservative figures, journalists and persons with ties to President Donald Trump were unlawfully monitored by the State Department in Ukraine at the request of ousted U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, an Obama appointee. Yovanovitch testified “in secret” to the House impeachment inquiry against Trump on Friday, October 11, 2019. Her “secret” testimony was leaked to the New York Times during the hearing.

Judicial Watch has obtained information indicating Yovanovitch may have violated laws and government regulations by ordering subordinates to target certain U.S. persons using State Department resources. Yovanovitch reportedly ordered monitoring keyed to the following search terms: Biden, Giuliani, Soros and Yovanovitch.  Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the State Department and will continue gathering facts from government sources.—More…

No More Pretense: Journalists, Dems Use Identical Talking Points on Impeachment

Television journalists these days sound so similar to Democrats on impeachment that it’s nearly impossible to tell them apart. Weeks before the impeachment inquiry was even announced, talking heads were passing off Democratic talking points as objective information about the President’s alleged wrongdoing.

Democrat Adam Schiff Repeatedly Threatened Impeachment Witness: “Ambassador, You’re Making This Much More Complicated Than It Has to Be”

“Ambassador, You’re Making This Much More Complicated Than It Has to Be”

Democrat Adam Schiff is threatening the Democrats’ witnesses behind closed doors.

Schiff repeatedly threatened the Ambassadro Volker during his questioning inside the Democrat starchamber impeachment proceedings.

Schiff was not getting the answers he wanted so he repeatedly attempted to “persuade” the ambassador to change his testimony.

Byron York at Washington Examiner reported:

In a secret interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, pressed former United States special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to testify that Ukrainian officials felt pressured to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as a result of Trump withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld and that they believed their relationship with the U.S. was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff’s characterization of events, Schiff said, “Ambassador, you’re making this much more complicated than it has to be.”

The interview took place Oct. 3 in a secure room in the U.S. Capitol. While the session covered several topics, the issue of an alleged quid pro quo — U.S. military aid in exchange for a Ukrainian investigation of the Bidens and a public announcement that such an investigation was underway — was a significant part of the discussion.

Democrats are nothing more than soulless vampires

Democrats are nothing more than soulless vampiresBesides calls for impeachment, the Democrats are still calling for President Trump’s tax returns. However, in the case of a successful businessman like President Trump, tax returns will not reveal anything about the President’s integrity. On the other hand, in the case of politicians like Joe Biden, who have never held an honest job in their lives, income taxes are useful in determining if they are on the take.

Moreover, according to the New York Times, Joe Biden reported making over four and half million dollars in 2018. Where did all that money come from? Biden isn’t a competent businessman or investor. Biden spent his entire life feeding at the public trough at the taxpayers’ expense. I just don’t believe, based on Biden’s history for ill thought out remarks and stupidity, that he possesses the mental capacity to make that kind of money honestly. If he did, he would have been out making a fortune on his own, like Donald J. Trump, instead of feeding off of American taxpayers.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Claims the DOJ Is Lying! Refuses to Locate Any Seth Rich Records in FOIA Request!

Despite Prior FBI Statements that Seth Rich’s DNC Computer and Emails Were Investigated, FBI Now Claims No Related Docs in FOIA Request. Attorney Requesting Documents Demands Court Step In.

We reported on September 19th

that Texas businessman Ed Butowsky filed a lawsuit where he outed reporter Ellen Ratner as his source for information on Seth Rich. The DNC operative was murdered in the summer of 2016 in Washington DC. His murder was never solved. According to the lawsuit Seth Rich provided WikiLeaks the DNC emails before the 2016 election, not Russia.

This totally destroys the FBI and Mueller’s claims that Russians hacked the DNC to obtain these emails.

Butowsky claims in his lawsuit:

Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange told her that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron, were responsible for releasing the DNC emails to Wikileaks. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange wanted the information relayed to Seth’s parents, as it might explain the motive for Seth’s murder.

On November 9 2016 Ellen Ratner admitted publicly that she met with Julian Assange for three hours the Saturday before the 2016 election. According to Ratner, Julian Assange told her the leaks were not from the Russians, they were from an internal source from the Hillary Campaign.

We later reported that Butowsky and his attorney, Ty Clevenger, requested and obtained documents from the FBI related to their case which we were able to analyze.

According to the duo, they obtained the transcript from former FBI Chief of Staff James Rybicki where he states that the Obama White House was the entity that was pushing the Russia conspiracy as early as October 2016 –

Rybicki was corrupt cop James Comey’s Chief of staff –

Clevenger stated in a post online that –

Newly released documents from the FBI suggest that the Obama White House pushed intelligence agencies to publicly blame the Russians for email leaks from the Democratic National Committee to Wikileaks.

This afternoon I received an undated (and heavily redacted) transcript of an interview of James Rybicki, former chief of staff to former FBI Director James Comey, that includes this excerpt: “So we understand that at some point in October of 2016, there was, I guess, a desire by the White House to make some kind of statement about Russia’s…” and then the next page is omitted.

The comment is made by an unidentified prosecutor from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel or “OSC,” not to be confused with the office of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller (the OSC is a permanent office that investigates Hatch Act violations, and Mr. Comey was under investigation for trying to influence the 2016 Presidential election).

Roger Stone’s Indictment

Trump friend Roger Stone is facing charges from the Mueller gang that are based on this key question – who provided the DNC and Podesta emails to WikiLeaks?

The corrupt FBI and Mueller team claim the emails were hacked but neither entity inspected the DNC server which was supposedly hacked. They have provided no proof of this.

The DNC instead hired a firm Crowdstrike, with connections to Mueller and former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who provided a redacted report to the FBI and Mueller stating the emails were hacked by Russia.

Former NSA whistleblower Bill Binney claims he has evidence the DNC emails were not hacked but copied most likely on to a flashdrive or something similar.

Bill Binney, is more than an expert, he is “A Good American”. Binney developed a system for the NSA that would have identified the 9-11 terrorist attack before it occurred, but the NSA shut down his project. This is all documented in Oliver Stone’s “A Good American”. We encourage you to watch this video about Binney’s work with the NSA and their subsequent follow up after 9-11 below –

We also reported –

When Ty Clevenger requested documents from the FBI related to any investigation into the death of Seth Rich, they replied that they never investigated Seth Rich and they don’t even have any records on him –

But when documents were requested from the NSA, they replied that they won’t release their records regarding Seth Rich because it’s a matter of national security –

USC 552(b)(1) states: This section does not apply to matters that are—

(A) specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and (B) are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive order;

So the FBI never investigated the Seth Rich murder even though the NSA said the case was a matter of national security?

Attorney Ty Clevenger requested documents again from the FBI related to any communications related to the death of Seth Rich –

Clevenger claims that the FBI did not perform its search in good faith after first declaring that they did not have to perform the search. Clevenger also claims that his client, Ed Butowsky, has information that the Seth Rich’s devices were inspected and he wants the results of those investigations –

Clevenger wants the FBI to continue their search and not cover things up because their first review for documents related to Seth Rich was inadequate.

Next we reported on October 10, 2019 ==>>

Clevenger has requested that the US Department of Justice provide him documents he is requesting based on some new information and also is asking the court to allow him to compel the FBI
to produce Mr. Hardy (the individual at the FBI who has not provided documents requested) and the chief of CART as witnesses at an evidentiary hearing –

Clevenger is making his request based on some new information that he obtained related to actions the FBI took related to Seth Rich. According to Deep State reported Michael Isikoff formerly with Newsweek and now with Yahoo (yes, the same individual involved in the Russia collusion hoax) the FBI had numerous activities related to Seth Rich. On page two of Clevenger’s motion, Clevenger notes the following discussion that can be heard on Isikoff’s podcast

So according to Deep State hack Isikoff –

1 The FBI had been contacted by the DOJ about Seth Rich
2 The FBI had been examining Seth Rich’s computer
3 The FBI was looking into Seth Rich’s gmail account
4 The FBI investigated an attempt to hack into Seth Rich’s computer
5 And, finally, confirmed liar Andrew McCabe from the FBI said there was nothing to the stories regarding Seth Rich!

Today, October 17, 2019, we have the following update ==>>

Ty Clevenger reported that he received a response from the FBI and they basically said that the DOJ was lying.  Clevenger writes –

Now, back to today’s events. In the response filed this afternoon, the FBI attacked the statements of Mr. Isikoff and Ms. Hines as “unsworn” and “hearsay,” and it insisted that it did not need to conduct any more searches for records about Mr. Rich. Mind you, I’m just asking the FBI to pick up the phone and call its Computer Analysis Response Team (“CART”) and ask whether CART has any records about Seth Rich. The FBI refuses to do that, even though it has twice called the Washington Field Office (“WFO”) to ask whether WFO had any records about Mr. Rich.

According to the FBI, any CART records would have shown up in the index search of the FBI’s Central Records System (“CRS”). As I explained in a September 17, 2019 motion, however, the FBI had already admitted that not everything gets entered in the CRS. And now we’ve got the former prosecutor who was assigned to Seth Rich’s case admitting that the FBI investigated his electronic devices… yet the FBI refuses to search for records in CART, the place where such records would most likely be found. Suspicious, no?

Judge Bloom scheduled a telephone hearing for 11:15 a.m. on Friday, October 15, 2019, to discuss my motion and the FBI’s response. As you can see from that motion, I’ve asked for permission to take testimony from Ms. Sines, the chief of CART, and the head of the FBI’s FOIA response unit. Somebody’s got some ‘splaining to do.

Hmmm, it sure sounds like the FBI is trying to hide something.  Either that or the DOJ is a bunch of liars.  Maybe both?

Americans demand the truth!

70 years after defeat of the Communists, the leftist whitewash of the Greek civil war has succeeded

Yesterday, October 16, marked 70 years since General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece and commander of Democratic Army of Greece, Nikos Zachariadis, ordered a “temporary ceasefire to prevent the complete annihilation of Greece,” effectively ending the Greek Civil War. Repatriation of Greek Communists since the 50s and the Left’s cultural domination have whitewashed atrocities committed by Communists and their intentions for Greek society. And, as the losers of the war, there is no shortage of ex-guerillas willing to share their minimized accounts of red terrorism and good intentions with leftist cultural leaders and intellectuals. These unfortunate circumstances have portrayed the Greek Civil War as a war of rightest colonial aggression instead of a battle for what it was… the soul of Greece.

It was critical for the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), whose members admired the Russian Revolution, to distance their brand of Communism from the Bolshevik horrors in Russia. Afterall, as Philip Jenkins recounts,

“The regime also rooted up the churches and monasteries that were the heart of Russian culture and spiritual life. Officials wandered the country, vandalizing churches, desecrating saints’ shrines and seizing church goods, and murdering those who protested the acts. Militant atheist groups used sacred objects to stage anti-religious skits and processions. Between 1927 and 1940, active Orthodox churches all but vanished from the Russian Republic, as their numbers fell from 30,000 to just 500.”

Italy invaded Greece in 1940 followed by Germany the in 1941. In response, leaders of left-leaning political parties formed the National Liberation Front (EAM) in 1941. The KKE was the strongest of the five or six parties that comprised the EAM. The organization downplayed its revolutionary aspirations while emphasizing Greek unity to encourage non-Communists to join ranks of the only effective resistance group. EAM’s military arm was a guerilla army known as the Greek People’s Liberation Army (ELAS).

A prominent leader of the ELAS, Aris Velouchiotis, consciously made outward efforts to appear religious in order to appeal to a society steeped in 1900 years of Christendom. In one of his final speeches, Velouchiotis insisted that the Communists couldn’t destroy the Church if they wanted to, but rather “religion is an issue of consciousness.” Even so, Communists waged a brutal campaign against the “unenlightened” villagers in rural Greece that started during the Axis occupation. According to Panteleymon Anastasakis, regular reports of sacrilegious violence occurred in villages occupied by EAM/ELAS forces. One of the few academics to examine left-wing terror in the civil war Stathis N. Kalyvas writes,

The EAM terror campaign of winter 1943–1944 was hardly peculiar to the Argolid. A similar wave of killings swept the entire Peloponnese during the same time, and most probably the whole country as well. This campaign of assassinations was carried out by EAM’s newly formed OPLA squads—a combination of secret police and death squads. (OPLA is the Greek acronym for Organization for the Protection of the People’s Struggle; the acronym also means “weapons.”) These groups established very rapidly a reputation for ruthless violence that is still alive in the memories of many among my informants. In an interview he gave me, a former OPLA member described his job starkly: “I was not a regular guerrilla; I was a devil’s guerrilla.”

As a Nazi defeat became clear, ELAS’s toleration of religious foundations gave way to lessons on Communist doctrine and outward acts of evil. After the Nazi retreat, ELAS was dismantled and replaced by the Greek Democratic Army (GDA) which, unlike ELAS, fell directly under the KKE’s authority. One of the most ardent supporters of the GDA was Albanian dictator Enver Halil Hoxha who ruled Albania with an iron fist for 44 years. Hoxha declared Albania the “First atheist state of the world” in 1967 and no doubt had encouraged it in Greece during the war.

From 1946-49 Greece was in no holds barred civil war. Societal polarization left little room for political nuance. Nicholas Gage grew up in a Communist occupied village in northern Greece. Gage recalls that Communists kidnapped children who were sent to Eastern Bloc countries to be given a proper Communist upbringing. His sister was sent to a battlefield in Macedonia and his mother, Eleni, was executed after she arranged for Nicholas’ escape (Gage went on to author a memoir entitled Eleni which was made into a film). An op-ed by Nicholas Elias claimed “Communist guerrillas executed dozens of people for criticizing them or their, methods.” The Communists’ ruthless campaigns permanently traumatized the psyche of the Greek people. “‘I was here when the Communists came,’ an old woman in the village said. ‘I would rather have the junta for a hundred years than to have those bastards back for one day,’” reported the New York Times.

Post-independence political instability, Nazi occupation, and the civil war left Greece a broken nation. Amikam Nachmani writes, “By September 1949, at the end of the civil war, the cost of living was 254 times that of before the war, while 2,400,000 people were said to be “one step from starvation.”  Between the Axis occupation and the civil war 10 percent of the population was estimated to have been killed. The guerillas killed more than 57,000 civilians while displacing more than 684,000. The anniversary of the Communist defeat in Greece should serve as a reminder of the horrific Communist legacy in the twentieth century and their deceptive lies to cover it up.

Everybody gets a trophy

Here’s a rather sad story out of the Philadelphia suburb of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. It’s youth football season, and the Conshohocken Golden Bears were on a roll last Saturday. In their Keystone State youth football league game they were up 30-0 over their opponents and once again had the ball and were driving toward the endzone. An excited five-year-old player took the handoff and broke for the endzone. And that’s when everything went wrong. The team was penalized and is now facing a stiff fine from the league. The reason? They scored too many points. (CBS Philadelphia)

A youth football team dominated its competition over the weekend. So what could be wrong with that? Apparently, their win was too big and now they may end up having to pay a fine.

“Don’t play well. Just play OK.”

That’s the message that some parents feel is being expressed to their young football players…

“There’s a 31-point rule that every organization, every team has to abide by. We violated that rule,” said Mike Mikalonis, president of the Conshohocken Bears.

In the local CBS news clip below, you can see the coash racing along the sideline trying to convince the kid to not go into the endzone. But the young boy is far too excited to slow down.

This is just sad. Nobody likes to lose, and certainly not in a blowout, but what sort of lesson are we sending kids who choose to participate in competitive sports with a rule like this? Don’t do too well or you might hurt someone’s feelings? There are no blowout rules in college and professional sports. You play to win. Sometimes a coach will pull the first string if they’re way up just to avoid injuries and give some of the rookies some experience in real action, but it’s not a requirement.

That seemed to be the message a former member of the Philadelphia Eagles was sending on Twitter.

This mentality of “everybody gets a trophy” doesn’t do children any favors. They’re getting an education in school but they’re also being prepared for the real world when they graduate. And the fact is that everyone doesn’t always get a trophy. If you lose, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try harder next time. (My disastrous efforts in junior varsity football hammered that lesson home on a regular basis.)

Come on, guys. Let the kids play. And if somebody takes a bad loss, use that as an opportunity to educate them and prepare them for the realities of life.

WATCH: Furious London Commuters Pull Climate Change Activists Off Train

Protests by climate change alarmist group Extinction Rebellion erupted into violence on Thursday after radical activists got on top of trains, forcing the system to shut down and thus preventing London commuters from getting to work.

Extinction Rebellion, a loose affiliation of radical climate change activists, has been engaged in a series of protests intended to “disrupt” society in order to draw attention to the supposed “extinction”-level threat posed by global warming. As BBC‘s chief environment correspondent put it, this latest stunt “represents a significant escalation of its strategy of ‘disruption’.”

BBC reports that protesters from the group climbed on trains at Stratford, Canning Town and Shadwell during rush hour Thursday. As a result of their actions, service on the Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway was temporarily suspended, BBC reports, an extreme “disruption” that the radical group said was “necessary to highlight the emergency” of climate change.

At least eight of the activists have been arrested, according to British Transport Police.

As video posted online shows, the situation got particularly tense at the Canning Town station after multiple protesters climbed onto train carriages.

As a growing number of commuters became increasingly furious over the activists’ antics, a few of them took action, yanking protesters off train cars. When the protesters were forced into the middle of the livid commuters, things got even more tense, video showing pushing, shoving and shouting erupting, with officials reportedly being forced to intervene at some points to avoid an escalation of violence.

“The two activists used a ladder to climb up onto the carriage, causing passengers to begin shouting at them to get down before launching a physical attack,” Metro reports. “A man was seen throwing a bag of crisps at the pair, while others chucked their drinks and bits of cardboard as the number of people on the platform grew.”

“You guys have done nothing wrong. We’re so sorry about this,” one of the activists yelled, the outlet reports. But when a commuter attempted to use the ladder to get up to him, the activist kicked at him.

The activist is eventually grabbed by the legs and yanked down into the angry crowd, where he appears to be pushed, punched and kicked.

Another protester was chased down by a commuter on the top of the train and then shoved off and dragged down like his fellow climate alarmist.

Some of the footage of the chaos posted on social media below:

And here is the scene before things erupted:

Below is more footage that has gone viral of livid commuters pointing out the hypocrisy of an activist who glued herself to a train:

“A third Extinction Rebellion activist, who was broadcasting the protest on the group’s social media accounts, said he was also attacked and ‘kicked in the head,’” BBC reports.

British Transport Police described the situation in Canning Town as “concerning,” rebuking commuters for having taken “matters into their own hands” and “displaying violent behaviour to detain a protester.”

“It is important that commuters and other rail users allow the police, who are specially trained, to manage these incidents,” Assistant Chief Constable Sean O’Callaghan said in a statement reported by BBC. “Unfortunately, there is still a risk that Extinction Rebellion will target the rail network during this evenings peak. We will continue to have extra officers on patrol and will work to disrupt any potential criminal action before it happens.”
