The FBI case has been exposed, and was exposed in during the election cycle about Donald Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia through Felix Sater and the numerous other Russian and otherwise, organized crime figures surrounding Trump.

Why did this information not reach the public, so that they could make an honest decision about Trump early on, before the election? Why has the Mainstream Media repeated and repeated the Russia ties story, while so much information has been available for so long connecting Trump to the Russian mafia and oligarchs who bought condos in his buildings?

According to a recent expose’ on Who.What.Why., Why FBI Can’t Tell All on Trump, Russia, “Efforts to try to get this information to the public appear to have been aggressively blocked by the DOJ because it would potentially expose their own operations — both those that have been effective and others that have not.”

This in-depth investigation takes readers through the assorted documented contacts between Trump and organized crime.

The interesting portion is the way the situation in Ukraine is framed. It is framed solely depending on the movements of organized crime to “shield” key players and give favor to “Russian causes” involved in the conflict.

No mention of the Western coup is present, nor the $5 billion US dollars spent to facilitate the coup, nor the fact that the Crimean people are ethnic Russians who voted to re-join Russia because of the far-right that had been installed in Ukraine, due to a foreign backed putsch.

Lest we remember US-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland’s role in the coup and designing the post coup government, far more important than the curse word directed towards the EU:

So again, why has the information on Trump not been fully released to the public, even prior to the election, so that voters could make a choice as to whether they wanted a man closely tied to organized crime in the White House?

Looking at the election itself, there were numerous factors that show the election was actually stolen for Trump including:

Over-voting, meaning more votes on the voting machines than signatures in Wisconsin, with cities reporting 95% to over 100% turnout and more votes than voters.

Voters were purged – meaning removed from the voter rolls while still having absentee ballots sent to them. The vote purges involved Cross Check, investigated by Greg Palast, as a method of purging voters in multiple states using a database that matched only first and last names to fraudulently purge voters of various ethnic groups, that potentially typically vote Democratic. The system was implemented in 27 states and headed by Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, who shortly after the election was positioned as an adviser to Trump on immigration reform.

Broken scanners were given to poor, Democratic communities in Detroit, Michigan. ” ‘It’s not good,’ Detroit Elections Director Daniel Baxter told the Detroit News Tuesday, before the judge halted the recount. He blamed the discrepancies on the city’s decade-old voting machines, saying 87 optical scanners broke on Election Day, the newspaper reported.”  These precincts were not eligible for a recount because of the discrepancies, according to Michigan election law.

Voting machine audit functions and safety protocols were turned off, in Ohio, despite the fact that,  “the FBI has raised fears of fiddling these machines by Russian hackers. Yet, the Republican Secretary of State of Ohio, Jon Husted, is allowing county officials to simply turn off these security functions — with no explanation as to why. The counties, Fitrakis discovered, ‘bought state-of-the-art equipment and turned off the security,’ both the ballot imaging function and the audit application that can detect and record evidence of machine tampering.”

So, if the FBI was aware of possible tampering “hacking” of the election, and they were aware of the mafia ties to Trump, why was he allowed to be elected?

Is Trump being used to net a larger fish, or rather bear, at behest of NATO?

Behind this thought process lies the ties to the high tech management of perceptions found in Cambridge Analytica, a company tied to one of Trump’s largest supporters, Robert Mercer. This company has been written about in the Guardian and elsewhere as providing the far-right a vehicle from which to manage and alter perceptions.

According to Carole Cadwalladr in the article, Robert Mercer: the big data billionaire waging war on mainstream media, “there was another reason why I recognised Robert Mercer’s name: because of his connection to Cambridge Analytica, a small data analytics company. He is reported to have a $10m stake in the company, which was spun out of a bigger British company called SCL Group. It specialises in ‘election management strategies’ and ‘messaging and information operations’, refined over 25 years in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. In military circles this is known as ‘psyops’ – psychological operations. (Mass propaganda that works by acting on people’s emotions.)

“Cambridge Analytica worked for the Trump campaign and, so I’d read, the Leave campaign. When Mercer supported Cruz, Cambridge Analytica worked with Cruz. When Robert Mercer started supporting Trump, Cambridge Analytica came too. And where Mercer’s money is, Steve Bannon is usually close by: it was reported that until recently he had a seat on the board.

“Last December, I wrote about Cambridge Analytica in a piece about how Google’s search results on certain subjects were being dominated by rightwing and extremist sites. Jonathan Albright, a professor of communications at Elon University, North Carolina, who had mapped the news ecosystem and found millions of links between rightwing sites ‘strangling’ the mainstream media, told me that trackers from sites like Breitbart could also be used by companies like Cambridge Analytica to follow people around the web and then, via Facebook, target them with ads.

“On its website, Cambridge Analytica makes the astonishing boast that it has psychological profiles based on 5,000 separate pieces of data on 220 million American voters – its USP is to use this data to understand people’s deepest emotions and then target them accordingly. The system, according to Albright, amounted to a ‘propaganda machine’.”

Looking at the foundation for Cambridge Analytica, it was spun off from SCL (Strategic Communication Laboratories) Group British founded by Nigel Oakes, who also initially set up a research facility set up for strategic communication, potentially international psychological operations, called the Behavioural Dynamics Institute (BDI) that was founded in 1990. This was followed by Strategic Communication Laboratories in 1993, which was able to obtain contracts to influence elections internationally and perceptions for NATO.

From a Wikipedia capture of its website, “SCL has influenced elections in Italy, Latvia, Ukraine, Albania, Romania, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mauritius, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Colombia, Antigua, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad & Tobago.”

“In 2007, SCL paid $20,000 to a Washington lobbying company, Global Policy Partners, to promote it in the US. SCL won contracts with the Pentagon to conduct surveys in Iran and Yemen. ‘Psych-ops was big business and people were just chucking money around,’ said one person familiar with the company,” according to a March 4, 2017 article in the Guardian, Did Cambridge Analytica influence the Brexit vote and the US election?

“In 2015, it secured a $750,000 contract to help Nato states counter Russian propaganda in eastern Europe,” according to a March 4, 2017 article in the Guardian, Did Cambridge Analytica influence the Brexit vote and the US election? More information about the contract is found here.

If SCL/Cambridge Analytica is involved with NATO and Trump, Brexit and potentially other far-right candidates who have seemed to be courting Russian President, Vladimir Putin, what is going on?

Could it be that the far-right’s courtship of Putin is a mere trap to hide the sins of the West in regards to regime change in Ukraine and sponsorship of terrorists in Syria and elsewhere at behest of a clash of civilizations plan for Greater Israel and a Caliphate?

Looking at the current opposition in Russia by Alexei Navalny and his supporters who staged protests last weekend, an interesting parallel can be found. Navalny has long appealed to the far-right while his two main advisers are of Jewish ancestry.

According to the Times of Israel, September 9, 2013 article, Nationalist backed by Jewish advisers fails in Moscow mayor bid, “His campaign strategy was developed by Leonid Volkov and Maksim Kats, two tech-savvy Jews who provided Navalny with outside-the-box strategies designed to offset his disadvantage against Sobyanin.”

When examining the backgrounds of his advisers, one begins to question, is Navalny following a similar pattern to Trump?

Another interesting pattern also emerges with the contacts of the Trump campaign with the Russian government.

With the success achieved by Russia in countering terrorism in Syria that started in September of 2015, Russia took the world by storm and off-set what seemed to be the potential for a full blown Islamic State based on Wahhabist extremism set to operate in Syria. Russia changed the direction of the war, against the terrorists, and returned the strength to Syrian secularism.

Is it a coincidence that Trump advisers began meeting with the Russian government, slowly over time gaining trust that if Trump won, his administration would be committed to working together to fight terrorism in Syria and work to solve the misconceptions regarding Ukraine?

If agencies have information of “Russian hacking,” is it also possible that sophisticated bots impersonated “Russian hackers” in regards to the 2016 election?

However, with so much evidence of domestic vote rigging, was Russia even necessary to steal the election?

Post election, Cambridge Analytica was also given a contract to manage the perceptions of the President and the incoming administration.

“But the role of CA may not end with the election victory of Trump. According to the British newspaper The Guardian CA negotiated ‘two rich contracts’, one to handle the image and message of the new administration, the other to deal with the marketing of the company that bears the name of the new president.

“With the Sole 24 Ore article, CA declined to confirm or deny this negotiation, however, rejecting all other requests for information or interviews. But his influence on future White House will not result only from these two contracts. In its Board of Directors it is to be present Stephen Bannon, the former banker Goldman Sachs became a top manager of ultra-right websites, after directing the campaign of Trump, was named its ‘strategic advisor.’ And the most significant of Cambridge, American investor is Robert Mercer, the inscrutable New York financier, came to prominence during the election campaign to the side before Cruz then Trump and intended to retain an influential role on the new White House.”

As the FBI is aware of the mafia ties, the election rigging and also ongoing foreign perception management by the current administration upon the American public, a key question is why does the American public have to suffer?

It is not only rigging, perception management, an imposed President who clearly could be, and in all likelihood has been, controlled by mafia ties, that also may have an element of sex-blackmail operating in the background to potentially silence opponents, but it is the ongoing daily destruction by the administration of government infrastructure and protections for the people that is occurring.

As Americans sit at home watching Donald Trump on their TV screens belt out, “Get em’ outta here” to protesters that made their way into his speech in Albuquerque, New Mexico, an entire world seems to be slowly turning towards fascism, waiting for the day Donald Trump will be elected as President of the United States. The last cog in the wheel, the last piece in the puzzle, Trump with his hateful words for many, who he alleges are different than he is, drives out the last bit of possibility for change in an already well established police state hiding behind the scenes.

This time there are no military parades, at least as of yet, of people saluting the “Fuehrer.” This time there are however still plans to round up millions here in the US for deportation and potentially for detention. Latinos and Muslims share that potential fate if Trump is elected. He has clearly stated he will deport 11,000,000 illegal immigrants and detain Muslims and Arabs as well as restrict their travel. http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/11/politics/donald-trump-deportation-force-debate-immigration/ Perhaps there is a use for the steel prison like box cars manufactured during the late 1990’s after all.

From a lecture given by Philip Schneider in May, 1995, at Post Falls, Idaho., “Recently, I knew someone who lived near where I live in Portland, Oregon. He worked at Gunderson Steel Fabrication, where they make railroad cars. Now, I knew this fellow for the better part of 30 years, and he was kind of a quiet type. He came in to see me one day excited, and he told me ‘they’re building prisoner cars.’ He was nervous. Gunderson, he said, had a contract with the federal government to build 107,200 full length railroad cars, each with 143 pairs of shackles. There are 11 sub-contractors in this giant project. Supposedly, Gunderson got over 2 billion dollars for the contract. Bethlehem Steel and other steel outfits are involved. He showed me one of the cars in the rail yards in North Portland. He was right. If you multiply 107,200 times 143 times 11, you come up with about 15,000,000. This is probably the number of people who disagree with the federal government. ” http://uforeview.tripod.com/philschneider.html

This 15,000,000 number is not far fetched when considering 11,000,000 or more illegal immigrants and how many Muslims and Arabic people live in the US, not to mention the numbers of people who would oppose this type of action, as they would probably be included as well. I recently tweeted at a Trump employee and supporter Lynne Patton who found a way to justify what Trump was saying through a very emotional, captivating video claiming that this vision of deportation and detention is justified.

The video entitled, “Lynne Patton ‘The Trump Family That I Know’ – A Black Female Trump Executive Speaks,” was slick PR. I was one of the few negative comments on both Twitter and Youtube. I asked her to consider the logistics of what he was recommending to take on deporting 11,000,000 plus people. Think about this for a moment, how many uprisings would occur, should an Executive Order commanding these deportations and detentions happen? How many people would get caught in the crossfire? How many dissidents would be potentially rounded up, saying they were colluding with the enemy, just as those who helped Jews in Nazi Germany were detained? Would the poor be rounded up too, if they sided with these two groups? How about the Black people? Could business go on in America, if this would be happening? What would be the net result on the American economy, should a mass round-up happen?

So here today, we are confronted with a country known as “The Leader of the Free World” with the potential for what could only be described as the second Holocaust, and we sit here and laugh at Trump’s jokes?

We are not alone in this turn towards fascism. We can take a short tour around the world to see how the far Right has virtually taken over key power centers and are using terrorism as a tool.

Thinking about Israel, Ex-Prime Minister Ehud Barak came out earlier this week saying, “Israel Has Been Infected by the Seeds of Fascism,” as new laws towards the death penalty only apply to Palestinians, and they continue the onslaught of killing Palestinians and stealing their land. There is no compromise. The idea of a two state solution is gone, and what is left is condoned genocide of the people, another Holocaust where Palestinians are shot for sport and the majority of Israel’s population believes that it is justified.

Barak continued, “What has happened is a hostile takeover of the Israeli government by dangerous elements. And it’s just the beginning.” ( http://uforeview.tripod.com/philschneider.html )

“This government needs to be brought down before it brings all of us down,” he added. “There are no serious leaders left in the world who believe the Israeli government.”

When has this ever happened that former Israeli government officials have spoken out so strongly? Now looking back at Trump and his supporters, Sheldon Adelson supports the current Israeli government in its current form.

Moving on to Brazil, where a corrupt Vice President, corrupt government officials and corrupt media created the atmosphere for a coup to hide their criminality, and there is audio tape that directly discusses this.

Planning minister Romero Jucá was recorded saying ‘We have to change the government’ as the only means to stop a sweeping corruption investigation.” Within days of being put in power, “the country’s interim president, Michel Temer, unveiled a raft of economic austerity measures and introduced a far-reaching constitutional amendment limiting the growth of public spending to the equivalent of the previous year’s inflation. Temer reportedly is now focused on overhauling Brazil’s pension system, but two of the country’s largest unions have refused to participate in talks, saying they don’t recognize the interim government. Temer has also called for the immediate abolition of funds created to channel oil revenues into education initiatives,” according to Democracy Now! http://www.democracynow.org/2016/5/25/this_confirms_it_was_a_coup

Fascism and corruption has potentially taken down the democratically elected government of Brazil.

On to Ukraine, where fascist forces have been operating since the coup there in 2014, and most recently in April, our fears have come to life, as the new speaker of the Ukrainian parliament is Andriy Parubiy, the longtime neo-Nazi activist who was a founder of the National Socialist Party of Ukraine.

According to ShadowProof writer Dan Wright,“Parubiy played a significant role in the coup, serving as commandant of the Euromaidan, where he and other neo-fascists helped violently overthrow the democratically-elected President Viktor Yanukovych. The armed battles with security forces in Kiev were carried out by many people, who would later join the right wing militias that would fight in the Ukraine Civil War. “ https://shadowproof.com/2016/04/21/ukraines-new-speaker-of-parliament-is-neo-nazi/

People who doubt that 2014 change in the government of Ukraine was a coup, may consult long time Conservative commentator, Pat Buchanan, who wrote recently, “after persuading Kiev to join a Moscow-led economic union, Putin saw Ukraine’s pro-Russian government overthrown in a US-backed coup. He has seen US-funded ‘color-coded’ revolutions try to dump over friendly regimes all across his ‘near-abroad’.” http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/05/03/pat-buchanan-puts-the-whammy-on-nato-moves-on-russia/

Is it any wonder that Russia continues to celebrate Victory Day against the Nazis with such fervor, as the war has seemingly continued to this day behind the scenes.

The covert war has only expanded through alliances and partnerships with terrorism and financial tools seeking to expand its ever growing influence on the world through tactics reminiscent of organized crime.

Looking at the government of Turkey, it has used repression and funded as well as armed terrorists in Syria as well as launched attacks against dissent within its country.

Turkey has arrested academics, as well as closed or taken over newspapers. One recent mass arrest of academics occurred in January 2016 when academics signed a petition against the killing of Kurdsh countrymen inside Turkey.

“The move came after prosecutors launched a vast investigation into more than 1,200 academics from 90 Turkish universities who signed the declaration. Prosecutors say the signatories were “insulting the state” and engaging in “terrorist propaganda,” according to an article, “Turkey arrests academics over ‘Kurdish massacres’ petition,” in the Middle Eastern Monitor. Where have we heard this before?

What is surprising, is despite the totalitarian actions, and also the evidence found that clearly shows Turkey is engaging in support of Daesh including the tracked mass movement of oil trucks in and out of Turkey for profit, (http://tinyurl.com/zwwllw7) that nothing was ever done to stop the flow of oil for Daesh profit across the Turkish border until Russia stepped in. Fascism has been condoned in Turkey.

Fascism is a global epidemic It is fueled by the corrupt and those with delusions of superiority.

“Grey Wolves” are also appearing. “Ukrainian nationalists and activists of the so-called Crimean Tatar Mejlis recently began to receive reinforcements in the face of right-wing members of the Turkish terrorist group ‘Grey Wolves.’ One of the organizers of the blockade of Crimea, Lenur Islyamov, on his blog posted a photo with the Turkish fighters; ‘Turkish patriots from the organization Bozkurtkar Turk Ulkuculeri, people call it — ‘Grey Wolves’, visited us at the blockade. The blockade is compressed’, — signed ‘Islyamov’”

“ ‘Grey wolves’ (Bozkurtlar) appeared in the late 1960s as the youth wing of the far-right ‘Nationalist Movement Party,’ which proclaimed the goal of uniting all Turkish peoples in one state. Colonel Alparslan of Turkey led the organization, and was an open admirer of Hitler and Nazi ideas. The Turkish state, regardless of whether it has formally forbidden the ‘Wolves’ or allowed them to emerge from the underground, actively used them to suppress opposition and promote foreign policy. “

There are many other places we could visit on a virtual tour of fascism globally, the question is how much longer will we allow this to continue?

It has taken many years for political leaders in Israel to see fascism creeping in. Many more are seeing this every day, but with little recourse for criminality, for color revolutions, for land theft and theft of assets as well as for the threats made to freedom of speech. There is one cry you won’t be hearing at a Trump rally. It is the cry of truth, and of what will happen if we get a fascist President in the White House. The cry is simple, “Are you ready for the Fourth Reich?” Hopefully, my railroad car will never arrive.

The pope’s message about Christmas has bothered me since I heard it, and now with Christmas over, it still rings in my ears. ‘We should ask for the grace to weep for this world, which does not recognise the path to peace. To weep for those who live for war and have the cynicism to deny it,’ said, the Pope adding: ‘God weeps, Jesus weeps.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3327115/Pope-says-Christmas-charade-atrocities-like-Paris-massacre.html

Reading Gordon Duff’s article today, “Will the World Survive Obama’s Last Year?” http://journal-neo.org/2015/12/27/will-the-world-survive-obama-s-last-year/ it continues on despite having full awareness of the who, what, where and why behind terrorism, war and strife. It is clear that there is some group that sees themselves superior to humanity and its yearning for peace. I stumbled upon one such group called the Chabad late last night. https://infrakshun.wordpress.com/tag/ari-fleischer/ This group seems to serve as a potential explanation for the collaborators of those who choose to bring the world down through war and strife for profit and death as well as their superiority. It is clear that there is an undermining of public opinion to where stories are not covered counter to the narrative of a powerful group. If these stories were public, the public may protest like they did back in 2002 and 2003 against the Iraq war and tyranny being done in their name. Not a word is spoken about complicity with terrorism in the mainstream American press.

It is easy to blame the American people, saying they are unaware and intentionally blind because of “exceptionalism.” But why are they unaware? Is it because they choose to look the other way? No, it is because they are truly blinded, too afraid to look into the alternative press because of their fear of a “conspiracy theory.” There is a conspiracy that blinds the American public. It blinds the international public. Why? To keep the wars going and consolidate resources and power, rather than facilitate a peaceful future without war profits and oil revenues.

I was thinking about this mafia/criminal syndicate. Why would they create the Islamic State? It is right under out noses. As the West has gone more secular and become basically religious for show and financial justification, Muslims have followed the teachings of God, thou shalt not kill, etc. They pray often. There are extremists in violation of God’s laws, yes, and these for the most part have been the ones sponsored by the criminal enterprise. The reason for their emboldenment by the criminal enterprise has been to exterminate or cast doubt on a very pious people who see God, love and justice over war and tyranny. Their societies and infrastructures have been ruined, bombed into oblivion and hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been killed. This could be one reason why they targeted Muslims, both through direct conflict and through using extremists against the non-violent pious people – to eliminate those who believe in God so much that they would choose love over hate.

When we think about the Christian world, we are faced with Dominionist theory which is equal to Islamic Extremism. It is on the same side of the coin and counter to God’s teachings. Dominionism is a road to extermination of God’s creation. These mafia criminals have been operating on both sides facilitating extremism to keep the war and profits going, as well as awareness to the minimum of the average person who could do something to stop them. The path to peace cannot be found until we are willing to see that “we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations,” said President John F. Kennedy.

“Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”

How much longer will we allow destruction to continue and criminality to profit by remaining silently living in fear of conspiracy. The conspiracy is our silence. Can we survive by being silent to the conspiracy? God weeps.

Dear Senator Feinstein,

I read about your comments on “Face the Nation.” You are right. However, most policy makers have not been seeing what has been happening in front of them.

The weapons we are supplying to the “moderate rebels” in Syria end up in the hands of the same terrorists we are fighting. Now they have anti-tank TOW missiles, both thanks to our contribution to the “Free Syrian Army” that just transferred them to Al-Nusra and to Saudi Arabia.  Here is video that shows this: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/11/23/southfront-us-saudis-fsa-tied-to-al-qaeda-in-syria/

“A recently released video shows an Al-Nusra field commander thanking the so-called moderate terrorist from the Free Syrian Army for giving his forces US-made anti-tank TOW missiles. According to the reports, Saudi Arabia sent 500 TOW missiles to Al-Nusra directly last month, but the US claims that it is just supplying aid and weapons to the FSA or the so-called moderate terrorists in Syria.”

The people we train join the terrorists, as most of the Free Syrian Army has joined Al-Nusra or Daesh. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/may/08/free-syrian-army-rebels-defect-islamist-group

We have also betrayed our Pentagon analysts by continuing with this flawed foreign policy. This can be seen in the statement made in the 2012 2012 Department of Intelligence Agency (DIA) report (.pdf) which openly admitted: ” If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).”

Why are we so focused on removing Assad? Saudi Arabia, our “ally” has a far more harsh regime as their elites have been sponsoring the Daesh members and boast the foundation for the Salafist teaching. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/23/opinion/isis-atrocities-started-with-saudi-support-for-salafi-hate.html The Muslim majority in the world are against this radical sect because it is counter to the teachings of Islam.

By now we should have sanctions on those Saudi elite that have been sponsoring Daesh.

While Assad is seen as a “harsh dictator,” Syria has a secular society and its people – the majority – support Assad while a small percentage do not, as was seen in the recent Syrian elections. He is now a wartime President taking out terrorists, so I doubt he will loose ground.

A key factor that entered into the game, is the Saudi-Qatari pipeline that was, according to one Turkish engineer I met, “set in stone.” Without Assad gone, these companies and individuals invested in the pipeline would have no pipeline.

The question we should ask ourselves, is a pipeline worth the deaths of so many and the expansion of Salafism, as well as potential terror incidents originating from its allied groups? Who is currently profiting from the commodity trading of Daesh oil? Who is profiting from the oil? What is funding this huge operation that includes media operations that rival most media networks? This is not setup with limited capital.

In order for us to defeat the terrorists, we need a straight line. We need to listen to our analysts, and do everything within our power to stop Daesh. We need to identify their financial backers and sanction them.

We should support Representatives. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat, and Austin Scott, a Republican, who introduced legislation to end the “illegal war” to overthrow Assad, This would enable us to take all of our Pentagon and other agency information to combat the real threat, which is Daesh.

Please move forward to support Gabbard and Scott in the Senate. By seeming week on terrorism through our implicit support, the perception of other countries about us is really making us look like either fools or pro-terrorism when it is convenient. A straight line against Daesh will change this perception.

Thank you for realizing that fact. Also I ask one small favor, the terrorists like the name Islamic State and ISIS, can you please call them Daesh in your public statements? There is no reason to embolden the enemy with our words.

Sincerely,

Ann Diener
