Hillary Clinton, With Little Notice, Vows to Embrace an Extremist Agenda on Israel

Former President Bill Clinton on Monday met in secret (no press allowed) with roughly 100 leaders of South Florida’s Jewish community and, as The Times of Israel reports, “he vowed that, if elected, Hillary Clinton would make it one of her top priorities to strengthen the US-Israel alliance.” He also “stressed the close bond that he and his wife have with the State of Israel.”
It may be tempting to dismiss this as standard, vapid Clintonian politicking: adeptly telling everyone what they want to hear and making them believe it. After all, is it even physically possible to “strengthen the US-Israel alliance” beyond what it already entails: billions of dollars in American taxpayer money transferred every year, sophisticated weapons fed to them as they bomb their defenseless neighbors, blindly loyal diplomatic support and protection for everything they do?
But Bill Clinton’s vow of even greater support for Israel is completely consistent with what Hillary Clinton herself has been telling American-Jewish audiences for months. In November, she published an Op-Ed in The Forward in which she vowed to strengthen relations not only with Israel but also with its extremist Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.(...)
“Where to Invade Next” Is the Most Subversive Movie Michael Moore Has Ever Made

On its surface, Where to Invade Next seems to be a cheerful travelogue as Moore enjoys an extended vacation, “invading” a passel of European countries plus Tunisia to steal their best ideas and bring them back home to America. For instance, French public schools have chefs who serve students hour-long, multi-course lunches on china, featuring dishes like scallops in curry sauce. I haven’t laughed harder at any movie this year than when the French 8-year-olds stare in perplexed horror at photos of American school lunches.

It’s because the core ideology of the United States isn’t capitalism, or American exceptionalism, but something even deeper: People are bad. People are so bad that they have to be constantly controlled and threatened with punishment, and if they get a moment of freedom they’ll go crazy and ruin everything.
The secret message of Where to Invade Next is that America’s had it wrong all along about human beings. You and I aren’t bad. All the people around us aren’t bad. It’s okay to get high, or get sick, or for teenagers to spend every waking moment trying to figure out how to bonk each other. If regular people get control over their own lives, they’ll use it wisely rather than burning the country down in a festival of mindless debauchery.
Where to Invade Next is all the more powerful because it doesn’t tell you this, it simply shows you. It

On y retrouve l’histoire de Mahdi Hashi
Mahdi Hashi has British citizenship revoked for ’extremism’ - BBC News
▻http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-20157167
Family and friends of Mahdi Hashi, 23, from Camden, claim the government acted because he had refused to become an informant for the security services.
Mr Hashi, from Camden, is currently thought to be in a jail in East Africa.
Revoking his nationality in the summer, the Home Office said he was considered a threat to UK national security due to his “extremist” activities.
The government has since made no further comment.
Mr Hashi was born in Somalia and moved to London with his family at the age of five.
In 2009, Mr Hashi claimed he and a group of friends - all of Somali origin - were approached by MI5.
’Posing as postmen’
One of them, Mohamed Nur, said: "One day they (MI5 officers) came to my house pretending to be postmen. When I let them in they accused me of being an extremist.
“They said the only way to remove that taint from my name is if you work for us, otherwise wherever you go we can’t protect you... We perceived it as blackmail.”
Retirer la nationalité à une personne est interdit par le constitution allemande si cette mesure rend apatride la personne concernée. L’idée que chacun ait le droit fondamental à une nationalité est la conséquence le l’expérience nazie quand priver les opposant de leur nationalité allemande faisait partie des mesures courantes.
Verlust der Staatsangehörigkeit
▻https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Staatsangeh%C3%B6rigkeit#Verlust_der_Staatsangeh.C3.B6rigkeit
Das Grundgesetz verbietet in Art. 16 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GG den Entzug der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit. Unter Entzug werden hierbei nur solche Maßnahmen oder Regelungen verstanden, durch welche jemand gegen oder ohne seinen Willen seine Staatsangehörigkeit verliert und diesen Verlust nicht vermeiden kann.[19] Das gilt auch für die Staatsangehörigkeit, welche durch Einbürgerung erworben wurde. Aber auch gegen einen vermeidbaren Verlust ist der Staatsbürger grundsätzlich geschützt, wobei ein Verlust mit Willen des Inhabers unproblematisch ist, weil ein solcher Vorgang keinen Eingriff in Art. 16 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GG darstellt.
Top Hillary Clinton PAC Donation Amounts to 222,000 Bernie Sanders Donations
▻https://theintercept.com/2016/02/01/top-hillary-clinton-pac-donation-amounts-to-222000-bernie-sanders-dona
For example, billionaire George Soros gave $6 million to the pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC Priorities USA last quarter. By comparison, the average donation to the Bernie Sanders campaign — the only one mostly funded through small donors — was $26.28, according to a spokesperson for the campaign.
That means Soros gave as much money as a small city’s worth of small donors — 222,000 people, slightly larger than the population of Des Moines.
The $3 million that pro-Israel billionaire power couple Haim and Cheryl Saban gave is equivalent to about 185,000 Sanders donations, or a bit more than the population of Boulder.
Former AIG chief Hank Greenberg gave $10 million to Jeb Bush’s Right to Rise Super PAC through his company, C.V. Starr. That’s 370,000 average Sanders donations — almost the population of New Orleans.
All of this could pale compared to the general election. The Koch-backed networks of political organizations reportedly plan to spend up to $900 million on the 2016 election; that’s 33 million small donors averaging $27 a pop. If every resident of Shanghai and New York City wrote a check for that amount, they still would not match the Kochs.
