The initiated have taken to the media, to the streets and to the world. Most western countries have demanded that Maduro step down now, but the dictator without a legal plebiscite is holding on by a thread. His mentor is long gone. However, Maduro will bring in the troops if necessary. The word on the street though says that 90% of the troops are for regime change.

Juan Guaido is one step away from sweeping into power.

Opposition parties picked him to lead the National Assembly as a compromise candidate, and he took up his post on 5 January.

State security forces arrested Mr Guaidó just days after his election, with video on Twitter allegedly showing men dragging him from a car.
But he was released from detention hours later and traveled to a rally as scheduled.

The Chinese flight to America continues. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese woman have made it to our shores. They were pregnant upon arrival with hopes of having an anchor baby. Business boomed for the brokers who handled the arrangements. Until!

FEDS ALLEGE MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR CHINESE BIRTH TOURISM THRIVED IN IRVINE

MATT COKER | POSTED ON FEBRUARY 1, 20192.1K

Federal authorities were busy Thursday, arresting three alleged birth tourism operators who catered to Chinese people and unsealing indictments that link 19 people to schemes in Irvine, Los Angeles County and Rancho Cucamonga in San Bernardino County that made millions of dollars by helping clients give birth in the United States so those newborns are automatically American citizens.

The defendants allegedly were part of three “maternity” or “birthing” houses that were dismantled in March 2015 after federal agents executed 35 search warrants. Indictments unsealed Thursday “contain the first-ever federal criminal charges brought against operators and customers of birth tourism businesses,” according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles.

Alleged operators are accused of having committed widespread immigration fraud, international money laundering and fraudulent leasing of apartments and houses used in birth tourism schemes, according to the indictments that are based on investigations by HSI, IRS Criminal Investigation and the Irvine Police and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s departments.

Customers were coached on how to pass the U.S. Consulate interview in China by falsely stating that they were going to stay in the U.S. for only two weeks, and pregnant women were advised to wear loose clothing to conceal their pregnancies from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at ports of entry, according to the indictments, which add that clients were directed to fly from China to Hawaii instead of directly to Los Angeles because it was easier to get by CBP on the Islands.

The Department of Homeland Security set up a fake Detroit-area university to target foreign students who wanted to stay in the U.S. without proper authorization in a “pay to play” scheme, according to reports.

Eight people were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit visa fraud and harboring undocumented immigrants for profit, Matthew Schneider, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, told the Detroit Free Press. Six were arrested in Detroit, one in Florida and other in Virginia.

FEDS SET UP FAKE UNIVERSITY, ARREST 21 IN BOGUS VISA CASE

The fake institution, dubbed the University of Farmington, had been operated by Homeland Security in Farmington Hills since 2015 and had a website touting its “dynamic business administration and STEM curriculum.” The school had no faculty or classes and no curriculum.

An email from Fox News to Immigration and Customs Enforcement early Thursday was not immediately returned.

The students enrolled to obtain jobs under a student visa program called Curricular Practical Training, according to the paper. An indictment unsealed Wednesday said the defendants helped 600 undocumented immigrants to enroll in the fake university in exchange for cash, kickbacks and tuition credits.

“We are all aware that international students can be a valuable asset to our country, but as this case shows, the well-intended international student visa program can also be exploited and abused,” Schneider said in a statement.

The indictment alleged the students who enrolled “knew that they would not attend any actual classes, earn credits or make academic progress towards an actual degree,” but enrolled only to remain in the country. Student visas allow individuals to remain in the U.S. if they are enrolled in school and working toward a degree. If not, they must leave within 60 days.

At a Saturday news conference, Northam resisted calls to resign, saying he did not appear in the 1984 yearbook photo, contradicting his earlier remarks where he apologized for the picture.

“When I was confronted with the image, I was appalled that it appeared on my page, but I believed then and I believe now that I am not either of the people in that photograph,” he said at a news conference at the governor’s mansion.

EXPECT BOMBS AWAY IN 2017 – WE LIVE IN AN EXPLOSIVE WORLD, PROBLEMS WITH TURKEY, SYRIA, NORTH KOREA, IRAN, CRIMEA, UKRAINE, CHINA, RUSSIA, ISIS

Posted on September 18, 2016 by thenewbostonteaparty

The PROBLEMS we face today are the result of the WEAKENED PRESIDENCY OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Facts speak for themselves. Obama went from the Red Line in Syria to the White Line. Fact, when it comes to exercising the might of Old Glory, Obama turns tail and runs quicker than Jack Rabbit.

Last week it was announced that a Russian plane buzzed one of our jets, coming within ten feet. What did Obama do, waved at them. Ronald Reagan or for that matter, Barry Goldwater, would have incinerated the culprit.

Time and time again, under the watchful eye of Hillary Clinton, President Obama and the Secretary of Defense Carter have we seen America humiliated in front of the world. Continuing down this road will only lead to a major catastrophe and soon.

Iran has a hair trigger finger ready to be activated at an instant. However, as noted by Colin Powell last week, Israel stands ready with 200 nuclear tipped missiles aimed at the mullahs. There is no question that Jerusalem will go on red alert if push comes to shove and the push is getting mighty strong by the day. North Korea, the rogue of rogue nations will take to the nuclear blackmail club sometime in 2017; South Korea will have little or no choice but to address the threat with force. Get ready folks for the Korean peninsula to go dark.

Syria, 350,000 dead, 10 million on the run and what do we have? A barbaric wasteland occupied by killers of all stripes. The void left by Obama is responsible for this disaster. A humiliating defeat for the Red, White and Blue. But let’s not stop there. The Kurds, almost 25 million of them, friends of the United States, fighting alongside us to defeat ISIS, have repeated only the sorrows. The Dog Erdogan of Turkey, a diminutive Islamic dictator, who thinks he is a Jihadist Napoleon, has thrown it in the face of the United States. The Kurds deserve a country, there is no two ways about it.

It is important to point out the Erdogan is anti Christian, pro Muslim Brotherhood, anti United States and NATO. The time is now for the United States to give Turkey the boot that he has given to the Western World. Not to mention his persistence in demanding the return of the Muslim Cleric Gulen whom Erdogan believes was responsible for the recent coup attempt. A win by Trump will cause Erdogan to go Yellow Pants in a suicide bomber moment.

Security officials assured the writer that he was safe – when he was clearly still at great risk. And then, within hours, his blood was running down the steps of the Amman court

We Westerners like to believe we care a lot about the Christians of the Middle East. Their exodus is one of the epic tragedies of our times, one of the three great monotheist religions effectively torn from the soil of the Holy Land in which it was born; Egyptian Copts, Syrian Maronites, Iraqi Orthodox Christians, ripped apart, quite literally, in the attacks of the Islamists who treat them as crusaders, collaborators, apostates. We welcome Christian refugees in the West because we feel they are “our” people, perhaps because we also suspect – the notion is ridiculous, of course – that Christianity is now a “Western” rather than an Eastern religion. Hence I often find myself confronted by Armenian bishops or Catholic priests who beg the West to stop encouraging their flock to leave the Middle East – since they will only drown in a “sea of secularism” in Europe and America.

But we have a selective memory. Almost exactly a year ago, the 56-year-old Jordanian Arab Christian journalist Nahed Hattar was assassinated in the very centre of Amman by an Islamist “well known” to the security authorities (as we like to say in Britain) as Hattar prepared to defend himself against Jordanian government charges of “incitement”. Hands up those readers who remember this feisty, eloquent, provocative and brilliant writer’s death?

Certainly, the killer, Riyad Ismail, a computer engineer working for the Jordanian ministry of education, has no more to say. He was swiftly charged, sentenced to death last December, and hanged in March along with 14 other “terrorists” and criminals sentenced for rape and murder. Ismail, bearded and wearing brown prison clothes, had little to say when he appeared before the court. And presumably nothing more to say when he was hanged at the Suaqa prison.

But that’s not what concerns Nahed Hattar’s family. They took very seriously the king’s promise to set up an official enquiry into Hattar’s murder. They were incensed that prior to his killing, the government had accused him of incitement for reposting a cartoon on his Facebook page which showed a Muslim jihadist admonishing God. Almost at once, the Muslim Brotherhood reran a truncated version of the cartoon and deleted Hattar’s explanation that the “God” in the cartoon represented Isis’ version of the Almighty – not the God revered by Islam.

It did no good. The government arrested Hattar – not the Muslim Brotherhood officials responsible for the corruption of his message – for incitement. Security officials then assured the writer that he was safe – when he was clearly still at great risk. And then, within hours, his blood was running down the steps of the Amman court. His family do not accuse the king of breaking his promise. They accuse the government of not carrying it through.

No one should be surprised by the vitriol spewing from the mouth of the likes of Ocasio et al. Her pedigree is that of a socialist CIRCUS FREAK.

Others freaks have jumped in to the sideshow, joining her in the pursuit of “FREE” everything. Still in diapers, Ocasio soils them with diarrhea by the second. “

Print the money and they will come, yeah, come from all over. The gang pursuing the Democrat nomination for president can’t help but join the circus. Every day we find a new member hopping on the train as it travels across the country.

A real FREAK SHOW is about to begin, and it will be in the BIG TENT. Welcoming children of all ages with antics more fitting of a rabid dog waiting its put down. Millennials have queued up for the main attraction buying tickets like they are going our of style. Little do they know that this is a STING OPERATION where they will be the ones caged like wild animals. Good luck to them.

Remember what happened 12 short years ago; a charismatic candidate pulled the wool over America’s eyes. When submitting his resume to the American people during the 2008 campaign, Obama tried to erase much of his past. The lame steam media gave him a waiver, no due diligence on their part; the candidate was not vetted. Skeletons of his socialist dogma were hidden deep inside his closet. But today the facts are slowly leaking out. Is there any doubt that some of the greatest supporters of Barack Obama were the the socialist unions such as the SEIU, AFSCME and NEA.

Who would argue with the fact today that the Muslim Brotherhood should also be on the list?  It is no surprise that the NEA is on the list; they get involved with childhood mind bending toward socialism early on. Add in the other creatures in Obama’s closet, the ones that guided him through the formative years, CLICK HERE for their wanted posters.

Obama has proved his un-patriotism. Is there any doubt that America under Obama’s leadership was run by a Politburo? In his actions one can see the ultimate objective; like a Trojan Horse or a stealth bomber he had snuck up on the American people. Blasphemy is what we call it – Obama has spit on the church we call America. He has defaced the American dream by antagonizing the successful, his attempt to activate the the enabled by lambasting those who made it was nothing more but a venomous attempt at class warfare. And what is most distasteful during his reign is the bias shown by the media.  A free pass has been given to the most divisive president ever. 

Obama’s economic model was devised by Robin Hood – steal from the rich and give to the poor. His foreign policy model is a duplicate of Neville Chamberlain – appeasement at any cost. His legal model is a carbon copy of Hugo Chavez et al (may he rest in peace)- obey only the laws that suit you, the Constitution means nothing.

Funny isn’t it, that what goes around comes around; isn’t that what the Freak Show candidates are selling? Seems that they are falling all over themselves trying to out do each other. Many of the dead carcasses will rot in the hell that they so valiantly proclaim as their destiny.

THE DEBT BOMB! WHO IS TO BLAME?

EVERYONE OF OUR POLITICIANS HAS HAD A HAND IN CREATING THE MESS. .

For starters we pick the Pigs who rule the Agriculture Department. There Hogs are responsible for slaughtering the taxpayer by stealing their oats. To bring you up to speed, the Senate and House, year after year, dispense untold billions of dollars into the silos of the most wealthiest sector of our economy. Yes, the Farmer, not those Grapes of Wrath types, these motorized farmers are more apt to be driving Bentley, Royces and Escalades. They have been well fertilized with green manure from “your’s truly.”  The Department of Agriculture employees over 110,000 people and has a budget of well over 100 billion dollars. Well now, 110,000 people eating our lunch. This department has to go, it serves no worthwhile purpose in today’s global economy. Shut it down now. 

We now move to a more controversial department, the Department of Education. Do you believe that this Cabinet employees over 5000? Ronald Regan, you remember him, sought to shut down the department.

President Ronald Reagan promised during the 1980 presidential election to eliminate the Department of Education as a cabinet post, but he was not able to do so with a DemocraticHouse of Representatives. In the 1982 State of the Union Address, he pledged:

“

The budget plan I submit to you on Feb. 8 will realize major savings by dismantling the Department of Education.

”

Throughout the 1980s, the abolition of the Department of Education was a part of the Republican Party platform, but the administration of President George H. W. Bush declined to implement this idea.

In 1996, the Republican Party made abolition of the Department a cornerstone of their campaign promises, calling it an inappropriate federal intrusion into local, state, and family affairs. The GOP platform read:

“

The Federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in school curricula or to control jobs in the market place. This is why we will abolish the Department of Education, end federal meddling in our schools, and promote family choice at all levels of learning.

”

During his 1996 presidential run, Senator Bob Dole promised, “We’re going to cut out the Department of Education”

In 2000, the Republican Liberty Caucus passed a resolution to abolish the Department of Education.
Abolition of the organization was not pursued under the George W. Bush administration, which made reform of federal education a key priority of the President’s first term. In 2008, presidential candidate Ron Paul campaigned in part on an opposition to the Department. 

The department has so far out smarted its harshest critics, but we question its survival in the days, weeks and years ahead. The Department has flunked every test it has been charged with. Now is the time to dismiss the Department of Education for good. Good Riddance.

And not to be out done by the preceding departments, we must include the Energy Department. What have they ever done to wean us off foreign oil? A big fat nothing. If it wasn’t for the entrepreneurial energy industry we would be heating ourselves the old fashion way, with a campfire or fireplace. Check out their man power, 16,000 employees and hold your breath, 93,000 contract employees.  We recommend transferring their most important duties, (nuclear material safety) to the DOD. This department must be rationalized, it is a waste of our energy keeping it alive.

These recommendations are for starters. More cost cutting will be needed if we will survive the economic blitzkrieg that is coming at us faster than a speeding bullet.

When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson

TNBTP has consistently brought to your attention the “Black Swan Event”. We recently posted about it. The above book  has brought to our attention the likelihood of another Black Swan Event. If you were ever scared by the horrors of Halloween, read this book and you will be scared out of your skin. The story vividly illustrates the resulting demolition of the German currency during the Weimar Republic. 

Andrew Stuttaford (who writes frequently about culture and politics, works in the international financial markets) writing for the Wall Street Journal describes the concern of Fergusson in his own words as follows: “His examination of both the seduction of inflation and its devastatingly corrosive effect is merciless and horrifying. Most haunting are the depictions of those broken on inflation’s wheel, the workers without a union to protect them, the retired trying to live on pension that had lost all meaning, the once-proud bourgeoisie after the annihilation of their savings. A nation can recover from  hyperinflation, but for these people time had run out. Everybody ought to read this book. But baby boomers must.
