Do you dare read and pass on? 010917





Rantings from the edge.............

Each day I surf my favorite news sites, some well known, others obscure.
As I do, I detect standard worded stories which seem to be regurgitated in a planned program to muddy the Social & Political waters.

On my Facebook for instance, a certain well known FB poster, continues to regurgitate old stories with new headlines in an effort to confuse and derail the future President of the United States. Democrats across the board in cahoots with their Liberal Hollywood operatives continue to deny that Donald J. Trump is the next President and the Republican party now control all branches of Government. 

I am sure the Democrats are having shredding parties in many DNC held offices throughout the Federal Government and Embassies around the World.Come January 21st 2017, with a new administration in power, all of Clinton's & Obama's skeletons shall be laid bare for the GOP to pick at.


Closer to home, I hear that Jane Fonda is visiting Alberta to support Liberal tree hugging groups as they continue to attempt to further verbally destroy Alberta's largest export.....OIL! 

For those who are old enough to remember Fonda, who has had success in B rated Movies in the 70's & 80's married to CNN founder Ted Turner until he kicked her to the curb.  

Fonda who disrespected Vets and Soldiers serving and those who had fallen during the Vietnam war actually went to Vietnam and visited American POW's -  while cozying up to the enemy and handing off to Vietnam Commanders , notes secretly palmed into Fonda's hand when shaking hands with American POW's.


Fonda who will no doubt have a Private Jet deliver her and her entourage to Alberta, a gas guzzling SUV to the Oil Sands and a Gas guzzling Helicopter ride to view her predetermined condemnation. I am sure her PR firm has arranged a meeting with First Nation elders for photo ops.

The Carbon footprint that Hollywood hacks produce in order to attempt to degrade Alberta's Oil Sands and its export is pathetic.Especially when you understand one of the main funders of anti Oil sand propaganda is the Tide Foundation & the Kennedy's.
-
I find it very Interesting how Vehicle manufacturers are suddenly making news by announcing they will expand in the U.S.A. rather than Mexico. The Trump train continues to rebuild America even before officially taking over the White House. Obama continues to sign executive orders in the dead of night, knowing they will all be repealed when Trump takes office. Some orders although repealed will already have transpired, such as the transfer of dangerous Gitmo inmates to Egypt and freedom.

Clinton's Emails continue to produce disturbing issues about Cyber Security and foreign hackers. I watch in amazement how the DNC and the current President in conjunction with Main Stream Media have twisted the Clinton & DNC EMail breach into a Russian Cyber attack, spending Millions of dollars in brain time attempting to justify their flimsy excuse to protect Obama & Clinton's legacies. Using the American Intelligence Service in a Political battle to bury the truth.
 
Hillary Clinton & the Clinton Foundation have allegedly committed heinous financial crimes with pay for play access to the Secretary of State's ear and pen strokes. Turning the position over to John Kerry who continued the practice and attempted to hide his nefarious earnings in his Daughter's business accounts.
In fairness  Kerry's office claims that Dr. Vanessa Kerry’s father, Secretary of State John Kerry, has had no role or influence in the decision making for the Global Health Service Partnership either in the Senate or at the State Department.

As President Elect Trump takes the reigns of power, all the previous sinister Actors are stepping up their attempt to chip away American superiority throughout the World. The regular players are pushing the envelope.North Korea says it will launch a nuke ‘anytime and anywhere… the supreme headquarters’ wants,

Iran are also flexing their muscle in the Middle East as they continue to harass American Naval forces in the Persian Gulf.

President Elect Trump has ordered that the Navy prepare for a Fleet buildup when he becomes President on January 20th 2017 - In fact Trump has publically called for a full Military buildup to regain the ability to react to any issue around the World which could affect American interests.

I for one, shall be glued to my TV on January 20th - I wish to experience HISTORY!

A Millionaire who paid for most of his campaign himself,and refuses to take a salary while President is EXACTLY what small business needs. Trump is EXACTLY what is required to slap some sense into the financial markets. Trump is the EXACT person to re-negotiate poor Trade and Military support deals..certainly not the DNC "old boys & Girls club" of tired old Political hacks who have lost complete touch with voters!

=========================

Greetings my fellow Politicanauts!

The challenge to President Elect Trump is over! The Electoral College has voted a resounding win for Donald J. Trump who shall be the 45th President of the United States.

How does that make you feel?



 The DNC and Clinton machine are in complete meltdown, now plotting a hostile shadow cabinet to challenge Trump every step of the way.

It look like Hillary is about to pay the piper on Benghazi -Emailgate - all because of the disgusting actions of Uma Abedin's (now estranged) Husband Anthony Weiner.

 Full Statement from President-Elect Donald J. Trump on Yesterday's Electorate Win

 (New York, NY)— "Today marks a historic electoral landslide victory in our nation's democracy. I thank the American people for their overwhelming vote to elect me as their next President of the United States. The official votes cast by the Electoral College exceeded the 270 required to secure the presidency by a very large margin, far greater than ever anticipated by the media. This election represents a movement that millions of hard working men and women all across the country stood behind and made possible. With this historic step we can look forward to the bright future ahead. I will work hard to unite our country and be the President of all Americans. Together, we will make America great again."

Hillary Loses Electoral College Vote 17 Years To Day After Bill’s Impeachment

Hillary Clinton lost the Electoral College vote to Donald Trump on Dec. 19, 2016, 17 years to the day after the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Bill Clinton on two charges of perjury and one of obstruction of justice.

Trump and his running mate Mike Pence won 304 electoral votes, surpassing the needed 270 to beat Clinton. Of the six electors that did not vote for Trump or Clinton, four were were originally slated for Hillary.

 Fraudulent Obama Birth Certificate Evidence Heads to Congress… Again

Following Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio‘s press conference last week concerning Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Soebarkah’s fake birth certificate that’s been stored on the White House website for several years, reports are that the evidence will be going to Congress soon.

In 2012, Sheriff Arpaio sought to present the evidence that he and his Cold Case Posse had determined to be significant in determining that Obama’s birth certificate was indeed a fraud to delagates to the Republican National Convention. In 2014, lead investigator Mike Zullo said that some members of Congress were paying attention to the investigation.
However, like many political figures in DC, they either don’t care or they were more concerned with their own political aspirations than upholding their constitutional duty which might make them look unfavorable to their peers.

Now, Bob Unruh is reporting that there is a rush to get the evidence in the hands of Congressmen in light of Arpiao’s exiting the Sheriff’s office at the end of the month and Donald Trump entering the White House in January.

WILL DEMOCRATS TRY TO KILL TRUMP? 

Barry Soetoro, AKA Barrack Hussein Obama, was elected President twice.
On both occasions—twice—he was also SWORN IN TWICE.
And I don’t believe anything they say as to why he was sworn in twice, both times. In both 2008, and 20012.
Because they are proven liars, and I don’t believe their lies about anything.
I think Barry Soetoro was first sworn in privately, off camera, so he would be in full possession of all powers of protection as President—when he was publicly sworn in, for the cameras, both times he was elected. He wanted to be “ready.”

President Elect Donald J.Trump continues to build his Cabinet and has already started returning power to the U.S.

Obama and the Clinton Machine to collapse economy 112116

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The Final Blow

The morning of November 9th 2016 was a sobering moment for many who saw the Trump Candidacy as an irritant while preparing Hillary Rodham Clinton for her ascension to the holy grail of Power.


A year ago, few saw the Trump campaign as a serious threat, and yet November 9th proved them all wrong and the President Elect Trump rolled up his sleeves and began the arduous task of filling a qualified Cabinet and 4000 Federal appointments.

The sobering reality that the Republicans shall be in control of all 3 branches of Government. Something that Obama and his handlers ( in conjunction with the Clinton machine and nefarious enemies  around the world cannot accept.

I have always resisted the notion of the New World Order, however it has become crystal clear that a larger shadow government does in fact control profit and loss(Pl) using  peace and war - Religion and Politics -feast or famine as tactics for citizen control to maximize their demonic outcome.

Agent Provocateurs like George Soros do the bidding of masters by surreptitiously hiring professional protestors to start an anti-Trump movement. It would not have mattered to Soros if Clinton did get in, the demonstrations and finance strategy was already in place....Soros is an enemy of the people.
His professional Protestors swoop in...whip up the crowd and fade away when the protest steam is pressured enough.....and Kennedy playing with Pipeline resistance through the Tide foundation.

Agent Provocateurs continue to perpetuate false stories and Liberal narratives in blind obedience to the Clinton & Obama Machine which continues to spew out their dis-information and threats. Clinton and Obama are now relegated to the bottom feeder level of the murky Political pool.  

Obama and his handlers in conjunction with New World Order financiers through the Clinton Foundation, have put into motion a systematic financial and social collapse for the United States and western world as a Doomsday trigger planted during the Obama administration.

Financial,Political,Social , ethical, landmines have been salted throughout the Obama administrations tenor. Landmines set to be triggered in the event " the enemy" press forward.
 
Clintons job (when elected) was to switch off the Doomsday trigger and siphon funds to the cause while systematically removing the will of the people. To provide Veto block on any Bills which could not be stopped by other methods. The Clinton machine was to be the New World Corruption Bank - Where every action had a price and citizens had no voice.

Fortunately for the hard working, tax paying,law abiding citizen,The Electoral college based upon the successful voting pattern of Donald J Trump determines that Donald J Trump is the legitimate President Elect and the New World order are being derailed.....

Since Congress has blocked Obama's ability to issue executable executive orders and the President Elect Trump team are in mutual control of the Nuclear Codes, Obama has very little opportunity  to further scuttle the mighty ship of state.

I am not an economist, and certainly not as wealthy as I wish to be. I am however a student of Politics and world financial manipulations and shifting powers. All levels of sourcing has led me to believe that even though Clinton and the DNC/New World Order failed to elevate Clinton to the White House they do have a fall back position of collapsing the economic backbone of the American industrial and financial machine.

Watch the stock markets after Trumps inauguration...you will clearly see the NWO manipulation in world events. Please support President Elect Trump and maintain positive wishes for his administration. I am confident that with Trump at the helm, he will steer a course through the artificially turbulent waters of World Politics and find calm seas and sunshine.....President Elect Donald J Trump has the business experience and the vision to recharge the great American way and return respect and prosperity to our vocabulary.

PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP -11/20/16


The following information is harvested from open source sites within the kingdom of the Internet. All opinions and ideas remain the property of the writer and any rebuttals or replies to this post should be directed to the writer at Editor@spiiiradio.ca
Greetings my fellow Politicanauts!

As speculated for months at SpiiiRadio,Boots on the Ground & VOCR Radio... Donald J. Trump has won the election and shall be the 45th President of the United States. That was the easy part. The Clinton machine and its spawns have yet to accept the Electoral College count and will resists until the role call is completed on December 19th 2016. Until then Trump is in limbo awaiting final Electoral consent to permit an official formation of a Trump administration. The road forward and the actions of a Trump administration will no doubt rock internal dissenters and embedded enemies. This makes the next 30 days very volatile. It is the responsibility of all citizens of North America to give due diligence to protect the President Elect of the United States.

Donald J. Trump has ruffled the feathers of many elite organizations and power brokers - and if Trump can be held true to his word, the swamp is about to get drained.


This of course, will result in violent responses from those organizations and groups who do not or cannot respect the rules of Democracy or law. Some have called them spoiled brats, requiring time off to group cry. Unfortunately they become pawns in a much larger Agent Provocateur conspiracy.

The Soros machine had planned for riots and disruptions in the event that they could not properly fix the election and guarantee the Clinton Dynasties future plunders.The U.S. continue to experience riots in a number of " Sanctuary" Cities which are believed to be sponsored by the Soros organization and others.

What is of more concern is the response from Terrorists and rogue Nations who are sponsored and financed by nefarious groups within the United States of America and around the World.

President Trump will be the constant target as leader of the free world.
Irregardless of your Political bent or leanings, I hope you will share with me the well wishes and prayers for President elect and his Family.

What happens to the Clinton Dynasty now?

There are all kinds of news stories being promoted in a more kinder gentle Propaganda ploy to legitimize and sanitize the Clinton machine.
The Clinton Foundation is crumbling with the weight of financial scrutiny and each week it seems more likely that Pay for Play politics was the daily norm during Clinton's position of Secretary of State. Maybe this is why the World is in such disarray with the Obama foreign Policy doctrine and the Clinton Foundation extortion system.

It is anticipated that outgoing President Obama will blanket Pardon the Clinton dynasty so they may continue to manipulate the DNC and voters and wring the last shekel from the tax payers coffers while continuing their attempt at Global economic control.


Should Wikileaks founder be pardoned?


According to Wikipedia:
 

Julian Paul Assange born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of the organization WikiLeaks, which he founded in 2006. He has won numerous accolades for journalism, including the Sam Adams Award and Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism.
Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 but came to global prominence in 2010 when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks, allegedly provided by Chelsea Manning. These leaks included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010),[2][3] the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), and CableGate (November 2010). Assange became even more globally recognized after WikiLeaks published more leaks - the DNC leaks and the Podesta emails - during the United States presidential election, 2016.

Given the truth and accuracy of information provided through Wikileaks on multi subjects and the obvious understanding that if wikileaks has it, then so do enemies of our Nations.

Should Julian Paul Assange be given a pardon by President Trump after January 21st 2017?

The road forward!

President Elect Donald J. Trump is a builder. He understands budgets and costs including manpower requirements. He is not beholding to any Lobby group or Puppet Master with no Political agenda other than Making America Great again and protecting citizens under a GOP umbrella.

President Elect Trump is a fiscal businessman - a Peoples President who demands respect for the rule of law and Law Enforcement/ Fire Services and Military personnel enforcement. 

Trumps campaign was highly financed from his personal wealth and has vowed not to accept a Salary for his tenor. Trump wishes to serve, to use his negotiation skills and understanding of business to Make America Great again. The Clinton machine and its spawns continue to obstruct forward movement, impeding forward momentum that the American voters called for and resist "Draining the swamp".

Have you ever flown in or out of J.F.K. Newark or LaGuardia?

  • JFK has the longest average security wait time and the longest driving time from the city center. 
  • Newark has the 2nd-most flight delays and cancellations, plus the 3rd-longest average security wait time.

  • LaGuardia has the most flight delays and cancellations and the most expensive parking among the 30 surveyed airports.
President Elect Trump intends to rebuild the crumbling American infra-structure which will put Millions of Americans back to work in support of mega build projects. A method used by Countries worldwide to stimulate economies and used in every financial stimulus since the building of the Pyramids. The success on this will be subject to the legislation created by a new Republican Congress. Democrat leader elect has given tacit acceptance of cooperation.

Editors note:
This evening two candidates shall step onto the debate stage in hopes of landing major verbal blows against the other. A prize fight of words and political promises. The main stream media rating whores are salivating for the event in hopes that blood drips into the murky Political waters which shall create a feeding frenzy for the piranha political pundits.

Through all the pushing and shoving, name calling, and Political lies..... one simple question continues to resonate....

                                    Are you better off today than you were 8 years ago? 



Have you been watching the shenanigans as we prepare to watch the two candidates battle it out in a debate forum tonight? I was bemused by a news story all over the net this morning...

podium 

Trump, Clinton tied nationally and in swing-states: polls
“Clinton is 5’4″ and Trump 6’2″ and her team wanted the podium modified or a box added so she won’t look short next to Trump,”




The posturing by the Clinton camp is pathetic and as usual backfired when they whispered that Marc Cubin will be front and center in the audience to irritate Trump..Trump counter punching with suggesting he will invite Jennifer Flowers ( Bill's Mistress ). The latest news is neither will really be attending, more psychological warfare to get into each others heads.

Clinton has been practicing for the last week, with full 90 minute dry runs with opponents who have attempted to mimic how Trump will perform. Clinton's attack lines have been psychologically tested, Politically grouped to force Trump onto defense and remove his Presidential stature.

At the end of 90 minutes, the Political pundits and Agent Provocateurs shall sift through and spin what is politically advantageous for their respective party. The Main Stream Media will of course be waiting in the dark dank political waters as bottom feeders for those drips of blood in the water.

The Main Stream Rating whores will pounce on any gaff/issue/response of the candidates and as expected will attempt to minimize Trumps performance and raise the performance acclaims for the Clinton machine - the race is fixed - We all know it going into the debate debacle. 

Will Trump destroy Clinton? Or has Clinton got the inside track?
I guess we will know after the debate tonight!
Yes we shall be live after the debate..watch for our posts!


BREAKING! Mass Shooting In Houston

 On Monday morning, a gunman opened fire at a Houston shopping mall wounding at least 9 people. The Suspect was fatally shot by police. NBC News reported: least nine people were injured when a gun man opened fire at a Houston shopping center Monday morning, officials said. Police fatally shot the suspect, who started "firing actively" at officers once they located him, said Houston Police Chief Martha Montalvo. Six victims were taken to area hospitals, Montalvo said.

GUN GRABBER IN CHIEF: Obama Wants U.N. Firearms Treaty Ratified Before He Leaves Office

 The controversial UN ‘Arms Trade Treaty’ would impose heavy restrictions on manufacturers, sellers, and owners of firearms and ammunition. Obama wants to make sure the treaty is in place before he leaves office.

Economists have a message: Clinton's policies are wrong for America

On Monday, I joined with 305 economists from universities, think tanks and businesses across the country to convey a message to the American people: "Hillary Clinton's economic agenda is wrong for America."
Our statement, printed below in its entirety and signed by some of the county's most prominent economic theorists and practitioners, bemoans how "misguided federal policies have produced one of the slowest recoveries on record." It warns that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, "promises to repeat almost all of [President] Obama's policy mistakes" and her "outdated policy prescriptions won't return our economy to the faster growth rates it once enjoyed."While Clinton offers more of the same, we suggest an alternative. "What America needs, and what Americans deserve," says the statement, "is an agenda of economic freedom: limited but effective government, policies that rely on and strengthen markets, pro-growth tax reform, sensible federal spending restraint, regulatory relief, sound money, and freedom to trade."

Gingrich labels Clinton 'fox,' Trump 'hedgehog' in tweet

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday labeled Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a "hedgehog" and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as a "fox" in a tweet. 
"Clinton is a fox who knows many things you can fact check," Gingrich, a Trump supporter, tweeted Sunday."Trump is a hedgehog who knows one very big thing: We need change."


Kerry: Pardon for imprisoned FARC leader not part of peace deal

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday that a pardon for Ricardo Palmera, a leader of Colombia's FARC rebels known as Simón Trinidad is not on the table as part of a peace agreement between the group and the Colombian government.
"Simon Trinidad was not and is not part of this agreement," Kerry told reporters during a trip to Cartagena for the signing of the agreement to end 52 years of war. " ... We’re well aware of the requests that have been made and the interests that people have. But that’s really something that has to be dealt with through the Justice Department, not the State Department.

Suspect gives himself up after France supermarket shooting

A gunman opened fire near a supermarket west of Paris, injuring two people.
Police surrounded a building, believed to be the suspect's home, after he fled the scene of the attack outside the Super U store in Port-Marly, about 20km west of Paris.
A police official said the man quickly handed himself in following the incident, which took place at around midday.
Reports on the suspect's age have varied, but he is be understood to be a man in his 60s or 70s who is already known to officers.

Hospitals overwhelmed by wounded in Aleppo as Russia ignores Western pleas

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry defended his efforts to negotiate with Moscow over the war in Syria on Monday, despite the collapse of a ceasefire that has led to a massive Russian-backed assault on the besieged rebel-held sector of Aleppo.Medical supplies were running out in eastern Aleppo, with victims pouring into barely functioning hospitals as Russia and its ally President Bashar al-Assad ignored Western pleas to stop the bombing of the last major urban area in opposition hands.

Moscow and Damascus launched their assault last week despite months of negotiations led by Kerry that resulted in a short-lived ceasefire this month. The secretary of state's diplomatic overtures to Moscow had faced scepticism, including from other senior officials within the U.S. administration.

Kerry said his failed ceasefire was not the cause of the fighting, and the only way to stop the war was to talk. He lashed back at critics, including Republican senator John McCain, who described him last week as "intrepid but delusional" for putting too much faith in Russia.

Deutsche Bank shares hit new low

Shares in Deutsche Bank have hit a new low after a weekend report said that Chancellor Angela Merkel had ruled out giving it state aid.
Concerns have been raised about its financial health and the bank's shares are down more than 50% this year.
Focus magazine also said that Ms Merkel would not get involved in its dispute with the US over a $14bn bill regarding the sale of mortgage products.
Deutsche Bank said it had not expected Ms Merkel to intervene in the US case.

U.S. Indicts Chinese Businesswoman, Trading Company for Helping North Korea Evade Sanctions

The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted a prominent Chinese businesswoman and Communist Party member on charges that she and her trading company helped blacklisted North Korean companies to evade U.S. sanctions and procure raw materials, potentially for use in Pyongyang’s nuclear-weapons program.
The indictment, unsealed on Monday, alleges that Ma Xiaohong and her company, Dandong Hongxiang Industrial Development Co., served as financial fronts for North Korean companies sanctioned by the U.S. for their alleged role in developing Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic-missile capabilities. 

Curfew Lifted In Charlotte After Several Days Of Peaceful Protests

The city of Charlotte, N.C., has lifted a midnight curfew, as protests over the weekend continued to be mostly peaceful.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets for nearly a week, after police shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott on Tuesday. Police say Scott had a gun; his family says he was unarmed.
The first two nights of unrest resulted in property damage, injuries and a temporary interstate shutdown. One protester was shot Wednesday night and later died; a civilian has been arrested in connection to that shooting.
After those two nights of violence, the governor of North Carolina declared a state of emergency and the city imposed a curfew. But on the first night of the curfew protests were largely calm and orderly, and police allowed demonstrators to remain on the street after midnight.
