that “ we love death more than you love life ! ” These warnings signs were ignored because political correctness has replaced common sense in our society . That is why one of my first acts as President will be to establish a Commission on Radical Islam – which will include reformist voices in the Muslim community who will hopefully work with us .
The influence that allowed for the Dogans to attract Erdogan to the ceremonies has collapsed , and once again , a Trump partner became caught up in allegations of criminal activities . In March of this year , an Istanbul court accepted an indictment of Aydin Dogan , chairman of the Dogan Group , on charges he engaged in a fuel smuggling . Aydin Dogan has proclaimed his innocence , and critics of the action have proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.nathat the indictment was a politically motivated attempt to crush the company that has served as a journalistic opponent of the government . Erdogan also struck at the family ’s business partner , Trump , for his anti - Muslim rhetoric . In June , Erdogan called for the Trump name to be removed from the complex in Istanbul and said presiding over its dedication had been a mistake . Still , that would leave a President Trump in a conflict : Dogan is his business partner , Erdogan is an essential American ally , and they both now are set against each other .
The researchers , at Arlington , Va.-based ThreatConnect , traced the self - described Romanian hacker Guccifer 2.0 back to an Internet server in Russia and to a digital address that has been linked in the past to Russian online scams . Far from being a singly , sophisticated hacker , Guccifer 2.0 is more likely a collection of people from the propaganda arm of the Russian government meant to deflect attention away from Moscow as the force behind the DNC hacks and leaks of emails , the researchers found . ThreatConnect is the first known group of experts to link the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcasthacker to a Russian operation , amidst an ongoing FBI investigation and a presidential campaign rocked by the release of DNC emails that have embarrassed senior party leaders and inflamed intraparty tensions turning the Democratic National Convention . The emails revealed that party insiders plotted ways to undermine Sen. Bernie Sanders ’ presidential bid . “ These are bureaucrats , not sophisticated hackers , ” Rich Barger , ThreatConnect ’s chief intelligence officer , told The Daily Beast .
“ For the past two years , the United States has been trying to deny its responsibility for the coup in Ukraine and , currently , for the destructive consequences of the rule of its clients in Kiev , ” Thursday ’s statement said . “ The United States which is methodically weakening the framework of bilateral relations should heed the fact that it is therefore undermining opportunities for cooperation on key international issues , all the more so as the U.S. side is regularly asking Russia to help address these issues . ” Among those affected by the U.S.-imposed sanctions are members of Russian President Vladimir Putin ’s administration and that of Mr. Yanukovych , the former Ukrainian president , as well as the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastleaders in portions of eastern Ukraine that have claimed allegiance to Russia after Crimea ’s annexation . In a separate statement released by the ministry this week , officials thanked the U.S. for its help in returning a cache of historic Russian documents that had been stolen in the 1990s . “ We hope that this experience of depoliticised hands - on cooperation will prove useful in many other areas of Russian - U.S. relations , which have been undermined by the U.S. administration ’s sanctions policy over the past two years , ” the Foreign Ministry said .
The US obsession with the USSR was driven by the hatred and fear of the American ruling class for the legacy of revolutionary socialism expressed , in however distorted its form , by the continued existence of the Soviet Union . But the Cold War was also about securing the dominant position in the global geopolitical order of the United States , by means of NATO and other institutions , vis a vis Washington ’s imperialist allies . Following the dissolution of the USSR , the US proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastitself the only super - power and announced that it would tolerate no regional , much less global , challenge to its hegemony . The 25 years since the dissolution of the USSR , however , have seen a series of strategic disasters for the United States , undermining the basis of its preeminent global position . Its drive to reorganize the Middle East under its own domination , beginning with the first Gulf War in 1991 , has , despite upending the state structures of the Middle East and turning the region into a slaughterhouse , failed to produce any clear strategic advantage for the United States .
There , he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs , who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “ America ’s greatest Marxist . ” This subversive hero of Sanders , denounced even by liberal Democrats as a “ traitor , ” bashed “ the barons of Wall Street ” and hailed the “ triumphant ” Bolshevik revolution in Russia . “ Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices , have suffered more , and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth , ” Debs proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcast. “ They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world . ” In a 1918 speech in Canton , Ohio , Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky , despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery .
The more racial bias you harbored , the less likely you were to vote for Mitt Romney or John McCain . With Trump , the opposite was the case . The more a person saw black people as lazy and undeserving , the more likely they were to vote for the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastbillionaire . ( Javier Zarracina ) Tesler found similar effects on measures of anti - Hispanic and anti - Muslim prejudice .
Head of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill denounced as " heresy " those human rights that he said contradicted the Bible , and proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastfighting them the goal of his church , the Interfax news agency reported Sunday . " We are seeing how efforts are being made in many prosperous countries to establish by law the person 's right to any choice , including the most sinful ones , those that contradict god 's word , the concept of holiness , the concept of god , " Patriarch Kirill said after a Sunday service at Moscow 's Christ the Savior Cathedral , Interfax reported . He did not specify which human rights he found offensive , but called for Russian Orthodox believers to " defend " their faith , the report said .
Ninety - nine percent of Russian citizens do n’t think their country was in any way responsible for downing the MH17 passenger jet in eastern Ukraine in 2014 , with half inclined to believe that the Ukrainian military was the guilty party . According to a poll conducted by Russian state - owned public opinion research center VTSIOM by telephone in early October , only one in a hundred respondents believe that Russian special services had been behind the Malaysian Airlines disaster that killed 298 people . Only four percent think that one of the militias of the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastDonetsk or Lugansk republics was to blame . READ MORE : Russia reaffirms commitment to cooperate with Dutch MH17 crash investigators Half of Russians said they believe the missile attack on the passenger plane was carried out by the Ukrainian military , while 14 percent pointed a finger at western special services , and 8 percent say a terrorist group not involved in the conflict in southeast Ukraine was probably responsible .
The writings of Friedrich Nietzsche made a lasting impression ; Spencer found his critiques of equality and democracy darkly compelling . He identified with the German philosopher ’s unapologetically elitist embrace of “ great men ” such as Napoleon Bonaparte and the composer Richard Wagner . Yet Spencer found little in Nietzsche about the organization of the state ; it was only after entering the humanities master ’s program at the University of Chicago that he discovered Jared Taylor , a self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.na“ race realist ” who argues that blacks and Hispanics are a genetic drag on Western society . Spencer told me that a top Trump adviser once helped him with fundraising and promotion for an on - campus event featuring an influential white nationalist speaker . Years later , Spencer would through his Radix Journal help spread a metaphor used to explain the jarring experience of waking up to a different worldview .
When CNN ’s Fareed Zakaria recently interviewed the Russian president , asking him about Trump , Putin stressed his view that there were no democratic elections in the U.S. , “ where prosecuting attorneys are shooting international observers from polling stations . ” Earlier this month , Russian Trump fans — including Putinologists , mild and far - right nationalists , anti - globalists and Donbas separatists — gathered in annexed Crimea to discuss post - November U.S.-Russia relations during a 9-day long Kremlin - financed forum . Even the militia leaders of self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.naDonetsk and Luhansk republics showed up . Sitting in the presidium at a table covered in red cloth , Sergei Markov , the organizer of the annual forum since 1999 , explained to the auditorium full of political scientists and graduate students , that once America elects “ the palace jester ” Trump as its president , the Kremlin ’s life will be easier everywhere — in Syria , in Ukraine , in Europe and at home . While only 10 percent of Russians support Hillary Clinton ’s candidacy , the Trump camp is growing day by day .
But his good vibes did n't prevent him from vigorously attacking Trump , citing such failures as his business busts in Atlantic City , something of which Booker has local experience . " I 'm from Jersey ! " the senator proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcast, although he did n't specify which exit . Unlike the Republican gathering , which resembled the world 's largest Shriners convention , the Democrats were a rainbow coalition of diversity . And if the GOP event made you fearful and anxious , the Democratic one made you feel … verklempt .
The presidency ’s most crucial duty is the protection of American national security . Yet , interviewed by Hugh Hewitt months into his campaign , Donald Trump did not know the key leaders of the global jihad . The man who would be commander - in - chief was unfamiliar with Hassan Nasrallah , the Hezbollah leader who has been murdering Americans for over 30 years ; Ayman al - Zawahiri , Osama bin Laden ’s longtime deputy who has quite notoriously commanded al - Qaeda since the network ’s leader was killed by U.S. forces in 2011 ; and Abu Bakr al - Baghdadi , self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastcaliph of the Islamic State ( ISIS ) and a jihadist so globally notorious that many teenagers are aware of him . Of course a man who wants to be president should make it his business to know such things . But even the casual fan who does not know the players without a scorecard at least knows who the teams are and why they are competing .
The document , reportedly authored in November last year by a staffer called Troy Perry , states that Democratic Party candidates and members should never use the phrases " all lives matter " nor mention " black on black crime " as they are " viewed as red herring attacks " and " will garner additional media scrutiny and only anger BLM activists . " The Black Lives Matter movement was formed in 2013 following the death of Trayvon Martin and has been at the forefront of alleged US police brutality ever since – documenting and protesting the slew of killings including , most recently , those of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile . The BLM - centric document was leaked online by Guccifer 2.0 , the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.nahacker claiming to be responsible for infiltrating the Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ( DCCC ) . Many cybersecurity experts believe the persona is maintained by Russian intelligence to manage a disinformation campaign with the intention of influencing the upcoming 8 November election . Kremlin officials have denied the accusations .
“ The same thing can happen here . ” At the evening rally , Farage added , “ If I was an American citizen , I would n’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me . ” Trump ’s appearance alongside Farage is the latest example of his campaign making common cause with ethno - nationalist political parties across the Atlantic . In June , Trump , while in Scotland to promote his golf resort there , proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastBrexit “ a great thing , ” and his affinity with Europe ’s far - right runs deeper than their mutual dislike of the European Union . Farage shares Trump ’s penchant for racially charged rhetoric , such as when he told an interviewer he would feel “ concerned ” if a group of Romanian men moved next door but suggested that he would have no problem if they were Germans . Trump has received glowing endorsements from many of continental Europe ’s most controversial nativists and xenophobes — politicians championed by some of Trump ’s most prominent supporters .
We are aware of reports that documents claimed to be from our network have been released and are investigating their authenticity . ” Guccifer 2.0 had been silent since WikiLeaks posted a trove of emails from the DNC , a hack he has repeatedly claimed credit for . It was around that time the intelligence community ramped up speculation that the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.naapolitical Romanian , lone wolf hacker was actually a Russian intelligence agency . Guccifer 2.0 had leaked documents and communicated with The Hill before his last three weeks of silence cut communications to The Hill , as well . His first question when he once again made contact was “ What do people say about me ? ”
39 ) speaks of “ that honorable determination which animates every votary of freedom to rest all our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self - government . ” Has n’t Donald Trump been a votary merely of wealth rather than of freedom ? Has n’t he been animated by the art of the deal rather than by the art of self - government ? William F. Buckley Jr. proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcast, in the founding statement of this journal , that conservatism “ stands athwart history , yelling Stop , at a time when no one is inclined to do so , or to have much patience with those who so urge it . ” Has n’t Donald Trump always been a man inclined to go along — indeed , impatient to get along — with history ? In a letter to National Review , Leo Strauss wrote that “ a conservative , I take it , is a man who despises vulgarity ; but the argument which is concerned exclusively with calculations of success , and is based on blindness to the nobility of the effort , is vulgar . ” Is n’t Donald Trump the very epitome of vulgarity ? In sum : Is n’t Trumpism a two - bit Caesarism of a kind that American conservatives have always disdained ?
By doing so , ISIS commanders intend to prevent the Syrian Arab Army from capturing Deir Hader , Tabqa Airbase and Jirah Airbase . If the aforementioned sites are lost to the Syrian Government , ISIS will be expelled from northern Syria and will be forced to set up a desperate last stance defence at ar - Raqqah city itself . Ar - Raqqah is the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.broadcastcapital of the Islamic State and as such , its loss will prove an intolerable blow to the moral of ISIS fighters across the Middle East .
How ironic it would be if the repayment for the Party Men ’s devotion was as much contempt from Trump as they ’ve drawn from # NeverTrump conservatives — or worse , if after giving one - way fealty to their party ’s nominee , they lost their elections anyway . The ethno - authoritarian movement that is the Trump campaign has treaded so deeply into uncharted waters , it now expresses Russian nationalism more forcefully than American exceptionalism , with Trump ’s followers eagerly going along . That includes the leaders of the “ religious right”—the self - proclaimedcontact.publicstatementinperson.nadefenders of the Christian faith and of old - fashioned family values , who have decided to fully back the thrice - married Lothario whose mantra is that women should be “ treated like shit , ” in the hopes that he will appoint anti - gay marriage , anti - abortion Puritans to the Supreme Court . Trump ’s brash Putinism ; his ignorance of global affairs , complete with the candidate denying the plain fact of Russia ’s incursion into Ukraine days after calling on Russian intelligence to commit cyber espionage against his political opponent ; and Trump and his team ’s deep financial and business ties to Russia , have done nothing to dissuade Trump ’s sturdiest supporters , including his men and women on Capitol Hill . Few could have anticipated that we would see the day Republicans cheer heartily for the Russians , while booing the declaration that America is great .

When the pilot falls into our hands , we will bring down justice upon him !
