Government inquiry documents abuse at Catholic orphanages in Scotland

LEICESTER, United Kingdom - A new report published Thursday in Scotland shows that children suffered abuse at two children’s care homes run by a Catholic religious order, both of which have been closed for decades.

The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI) said that the two children’s facilities run by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul - Smyllum Park in Lanark and Bellevue House in Rutherglen - were “places of fear, coercive control, threat, excessive discipline and emotional, physical and sexual abuse, where they found no love, no compassion, no dignity and no comfort.”

The interim report said that the children at the homes were “systematically starved of love, dignity and compassion.”

In August, Police arrested around a dozen former members of the staff at Smyllum Park, which closed in 1981, on charges of historic abuse. All those arrested were over 60.

Bellevue House closed in 1961.

Migration Madness Syndrome

Europe’s Elite want their citizens to believe open borders and migration from Islamic countries will solve their need for a future workforce due to a shrinking population. I call their bluff. If they need workers, why not get them from the poorer parts of the EU–Romania, Bulgaria, Greece? This isn’t about guest workers. This is about the Left securing a voting block so they can be voted into office in perpetuity. Islam makes for a perfect partner in their endeavor to achieve political dominance. Both conspire to tear down society and rebuild their utopian ideal. What the Left doesn’t realize is when Islam ultimately takes power, as it tends to do, the last laugh will be on the them, just as it was with the Tudeh Party in Iran. In the end, Islam has no loyalty to Kafirs, only to Allah and Mohammed.

To understand Islamic migration today, it is imperative to understand the concept of hijra. The hijra dates to the time of Mohammed when he left Mecca and moved to Medina where he became a warlord and politician. Mohammed’s migration, or hijra, is so important to the success of Islam that it is the basis for the Islamic calendar.

Hijra is a form of soft jihad and is quite effective for spreading Islam. Al Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki stated, referring to doctrine: “Jihad today is obligatory on every capable Muslim…it is your duty to find ways to practice it and support it.” He then lists 44 ways to support jihad. In #36 Preparing for Hijrah, al-Awlaki quotes Mohammed: “Hijrah does not stop as long as there is an enemy to fight”. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Al Qaeda 9/11 mastermind, said, “the practical way to defeat America is through immigration and “outbreeding non-Muslims”. These jihadists are not creating new ideas. They are repeating 1400 year old doctrine.

The science of spying: how the CIA secretly recruits academics

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Lara Shohet

Intelligence, Academia and Industry

The US Intelligence Community has traditionally used publicly accessible information, in addition to any clandestine sources, to conduct analysis. Analysts draw on information contained in academic works, journals, magazines, newspapers, and files of US corporations with overseas operations1. They have often gained important insights from open sources without resorting to clandestine methods of collection.

The IC interacts with industry and academia in three principal ways.

Collection

Since the late 1940's, the Contact Division of the CIA's Office of Operations has been tapping into the "vast potential information"2 available from academia and industry. Scientists and academics attend conferences, where they meet and exchange information with colleagues from all parts of the world. Similarly, business people travel continually, and compile reports on economic and financial affairs. As a result, academic and industrial sources have expertise and contacts that are valuable to the Intelligence Community.

Research and Development

The IC uses private contractors to research and develop new technologies. The U2, for instance, was designed and built by the Lockheed Corporation. Their work supports the DO, the DS&T, as well as the DI.

Advising

Representatives from academia and industry have served on committees to oversee and advise the IC. In 1950, for instance, a panel of "Princeton consultants" was established to review draft estimates. Similarly, The President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board is composed of private citizens who are responsible for reporting to the President on the performance, progress and problems of the IC.

It is worth re-examining the IC's relationship with industry and academia in the Post Cold-War era for several reasons. First, international political developments and new technologies have greatly improved the quality and quantity of open source material3. Secondly, the IC is facing large budget cuts. Thirdly, there is no dominant focus in the current national security environment. Finally, 'secrets' may be less important than 'mysteries' in the Post Cold-War era4. According to the former chairman of the NIC Joseph Nye, "a greater proportion of the questions that decision-makers and policy-makers want answers to are mysteries… a great deal of what's good analysis of mysteries comes from diverse, open sources"5.

Air Force Under Secretary tells Vance airmen to prepare for new conflicts

Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Donovan told airmen at Vance Air Force Base to prepare themselves for a new era of superpower competition similar to the Cold War, during a graduation address at the base on Friday.

Donovan spoke to graduating pilots in Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Class 19-06, and visited with the News & Eagle on national defense strategy, the ongoing pilot shortage, challenges to force retention and the future of Vance Air Force Base.

The visit was a return trip to Vance for Donovan, who earned his wings at the base in 1983, before going on to fly F-15s and rising to rank of colonel before entering government civil service.

Emerging threats

Donovan told the graduates Friday they should expect a world that looks “eerily similar” to the one he faced when he graduated.

“As I sat in my graduation seat, the threat of Soviet power was never more real, and we would continue to face the Warsaw Pact for another eight years,” Donovan said.

Safeguarding America's security–and American lives–should be paramount and non-negotiable

Trump wins even if he loses Supreme Court battle

President Trump’s Proclamation of a National Emergency on the Southern Border has ensured that the consequences of the illegal entry of drugs, criminals and foreigners through that porous border will now be owned by the Congress and not the President—guaranteeing him certain victory in the 2020 Presidential elections.

The rush to test the legal validity of Trump’s Proclamation in the Courts was clearly in Trump’s mind even before he had signed the final papers:

“So the order is signed. And I’ll sign the final papers as soon as I get into the Oval Office. And we will have a national emergency, and then we will then be sued, and they will sue us in the Ninth Circuit, even though it shouldn’t be there. And we will possibly get a bad ruling, and then we’ll get another bad ruling. And then we’ll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we’ll get a fair shake.”

Trump’s readiness to go the whole distance to the Supreme Court - doing what he personally can to resolve what he clearly perceives to be the ”National Security and Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border”—signals huge political problems for the Democrats.

Trump’s use of the words “our Southern Border” is very instructive and should be noted very carefully by the Democrats - heading a queue of eager litigants who cannot wait to get Trump into Court and hand him the thrashing of all thrashings in the confident expectation their interpretation of the law will triumph over that of Trump’s legal team.

Each:

cache of drugs now discovered at an unfenced spot in the porous border,

murder, assault, traffic incident resulting in death or serious injury or robbery in an American home - caused by an entrant into America other than through an authorised point of entry (unlawful entrants) and

death by drug overdose

will be sheeted home to the Democrats in a torrent of Trump Tweets using blunt and unforgiving terms for which Trump has become renowned.

Each new caravan arriving at the Southern border will be another nail in the Democrats’ coffin.

These incidents will be duly reported in detail on Fox News 24 hours a day—and they will be very hard to be ignored by what Trump calls the “fake news”.

Angel Moms and Dads sitting front row at Trump’s press conference - will be frontline in this long battle—as Trump told the large gathering of media representatives:
