Chairman of Israel Medical Association and World Medical Association Opposes Mandatory Flu Vaccines for Doctors
Prof. Leonid Eidelman is chairman of the Israel Medical Association and in 2017 was chosen as the next president of the World Medical Association. He opposes mandatory flu vaccinations for doctors. Image source.
by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News In order to get a perspective on sane and rational vaccine policy, we must again turn away from the U.S. corporate media and their primary advertising sponsors, the pharmaceutical industry. The flu vaccine is, by far, the most prosperous vaccine produced and sold in the U.S., with over 300 million doses produced annually. It is also the leading vaccine, by far, injuring and killing people as evidenced by the quarterly Department of Justice (DOJ) reports of vaccine injury and death compensations by the Vaccine Court. As far as we know, Health Impact News is still the only news source publishing settled cases for vaccine injury and death compensations in the national Vaccine Court. In the U.S., one cannot sue a pharmaceutical company for injuries or deaths related to vaccines. By simply reading the U.S. corporate “mainstream” media one is led to believe that all doctors and medical personnel support mass flu vaccination, and believe all medical staff should be forced to receive the flu vaccine every year. But such is not the case. As we have reported over the past several years, many doctors and nurses nationwide oppose mandatory flu vaccination for medical personnel. There are several lawsuits by individuals and unions nationwide fighting loss of employment due to refusing a flu vaccine. Not only are there questions regarding the efficacy of the flu vaccine that would mean un-vaccinated medical personnel present no greater danger to patients than those vaccinated for influenza, there are also serious civil rights issues involved and violations of HIPAA laws in requiring medical facilities to identify who has and has not received a flu vaccine.
The Jerusalem Post, an apparently pro-vaccine publication, recently reported that Prof. Leonid Eidelman, chairman of the Israel Medical Association and the next president of the World Medical Association, opposes mandatory flu vaccinations for doctors, and he opposes identifying which doctors have been vaccinated for the flu, and which ones have not.
Quote :
IMA chairman Prof. Leonid Eidelman, who is chief of anesthesiology at the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva, told The Jerusalem Post that doctors should not be forced to get the vaccination. “And even if they do voluntarily wear a pin showing they were vaccinated, it doesn’t give a good impression about those who don’t. There is a slippery slope; doctors could be forced to wear pins saying they have HIV or hepatitis C. It would never end.” Eidelman turned down a suggestion from the Health Ministry a few years ago that those doctors who followed the recommendation be allowed to wear a pin or sign saying they were vaccinated. The ministry’s suggestion was aimed not only at informing patients whether their doctors were vaccinated, but also for doctors to serve as an example to patients that they too should go to their health fund community clinic for the annual shot. On Wednesday, he reiterated to the Post that he and the IMA were absolutely opposed to requiring medical staffers to be vaccinated and to the pin idea.
Professor Eidelman correctly pointed out that there are no studies proving that patients are being infected with influenza from those who are not vaccinated:
Quote :
Eidelman added that he knew of “no studies showing that patients are infected with the flu by their doctors” or doctors infected by their patients. As for the argument that doctors with such pins would serve as role models for patients who are reluctant to get flu shots, the IMA chief said that is not their job. “It’s a personal decision for everyone, and doctors should not be dictated to.” Asked whether he himself had been vaccinated against the flu this season, Eidelman declined to answer because “this is a political question.”
A CDC sponsored meta-study of the flu vaccine and health care workers also reached the conclusion that there was no strong evidence that the flu vaccine given to health care workers offered any protection to patients.
Quote :
Nick Kelley, PhD, research associate for the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), said that the new analysis provides a more robust look at HCW flu immunization studies than earlier reviews and includes observational studies that weren’t available at the time. For outcomes that matter the most—lab-confirmed flu and flu hospitalizations—the two meta-analyses (the CDC’s and Cochrane’s) both find low or very low levels of evidence, he said. “We simply don’t have good evidence that vaccination of healthcare personnel prevents influenza transmission to patients,” Kelley said. (Source.)
Professor Eidelman’s position, and the position of the Israel Medical Association, and hopefully the position of the World Medical Association when Eidelman takes over leadership later this year (2018), will help protect the rights of doctors world-wide to refuse the dangerous flu vaccine should they so choose. In the United States meanwhile, nurses and doctors nationwide are losing their jobs for their refusal of mandatory flu vaccines.

In the video above, Dr. Mark Geier explains the fraud behind the flu vaccine. Dr. Geier is NOT anti-vaccine. He is an M.D. and has a Ph.D. in genetics. He spent 10 years working at the National Institute of Health, and was a professor at Johns Hopkins University as a geneticist. He is also the author of over 150 peer-reviewed publications.
He worked on vaccine safety and efficacy for more than 30 years. He was one of four scientists that worked to replace the DTP vaccine, a vaccine that caused every child to become sick with a high fever at the time of vaccination, with the DTaP vaccine, which is a more purified vaccine and causes illness due to fever in only 3% of those vaccinated. In the video above, he explains that the flu shot causes Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and that the flu shot is not very effective in preventing the flu. He also explains that the CDC does not follow the law for vaccines in requiring long-term safety testing for the influenza vaccine like they do with other vaccines, as it is impossible to test a vaccine that changes every year. So the flu vaccine is basically an experimental vaccine that they want to give out to 300 million people every year. There are also no studies showing the safety of giving the flu vaccine to the same person every single year. However, Dr. Geier points out that the CDC is in the business of distributing flu vaccines, because they represent 300 million doses per year, whereas all the childhood vaccines together only number 20 million. Dr. Geier goes on to explain that flu is “the wrong thing to vaccinate against” because you have to keep re-vaccinating against it every year, unlike childhood infectious diseases, such as smallpox, that are only vaccinated for once. Dr. Geier points out how ridiculous it is spend billions of dollars on a vaccine that might, at its best, save about 50 lives a year, when there are far more serious problems causing death that are more worthy of that kind of expenditure.

Subject: Your Prepper Stockpile: How To Add More Fruits And Veggies To Your Inventory Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:50 am
#2 http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/your-prepper-stockpile-how-to-add-more-fruits-and-veggies-to-your-inventory_01182018? Your Prepper Stockpile: How To Add More Fruits And Veggies To Your Inventory
Mac Slavo January 18th, 2018 SHTFplan.com
Building a usable supply of fruits and vegetable is difficult for some preppers. Many of us struggle with this aspect of prepping, but there are a few simple steps you can take if you’re looking to add fruit or vegetables to your prepper stockpile. It is difficult in a SHTF situation to get the fruit and vegetables the human body needs, but without them, you and your family can be at risk for a nutritional deficiency disease such as scurvy (which results from a lack of vitamin C) and immune systems will be compromised. According to Before It’s News, one of the first things you should actually do, is avoid certain produce. Whenever possible, focus on organic produce for your stockpile. The use of pesticides in conventional farming is rampant. Even the Environmental Protection Agency has been forced to admit that the ingestion of pesticides can cause health problems. The government agency warns of the risk of “birth defects, nerve damage, cancer, and other effects that might occur over a long period of time.” Especially at risk of harm from pesticides are prepubescent children and the unborn. It is also a good idea to just avoid GMOs (genetically modified organisms) if you can. Particularly avoid anything non-organic that contains corn or soy ingredients. There are questions about health risks and GMOs are engineered to withstand even higher dousing of pesticides than other conventional fruits and veggies. Now that it’s understood what to avoid, you can begin to build your stockpile of fruits and vegetables. Go here to find a list of the produce that will help protect your body against radiation in the event of nuclear war. There are many effective ways to preserve fruits and vegetables that you acquire fresh. Whether you harvest them from your own property, buy them at the farmer’s market or a local orchard, or even make a bulk purchase from the discount bin at the grocery store, having the supplies and skills to quickly preserve them can allow you to make the most of your windfall. Dehydrating is probably the easiest way to create a stockpile of small, already individual serving sized chunks of produce. This can be done without a dehydrator, and right in your oven. Canning is always another alternative but be sure to store your items carefully, as glass jars break more easily. (Think Earthquakes) You could also try root cellaring for things like onions, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, apples, and winter squash in a cold room. When purchasing fruits or vegetables already in a state you can store them in, look for the following: Dried: Dried fruits such as raisins, banana chips (without sugar), and dried cranberries can pack a lot of nutritional punch into a tiny serving size. Think of them as concentrated vitamins. An adult serving of raisins is only 1/4 cup, which means that you can pack a lot of nutrition into a small amount of space with dried fruits. Canned: Canned goods such as tomatoes, green beans, and peas can go a long way towards providing nutrition. The benefit to those rows of tin cans is that you don’t require power to store them safely, and they are fully cooked so you don’t even have to heat them up in a grid down situation. You can also find many varieties of canned fruit but beware of heavy syrups. Opt for fruit canned in juice if possible. Plus, the containers they already come in aren’t easily broken. Frozen: Frozen fruits and vegetables are the closest to fresh that you can get. This is a great way to build a stockpile for times when money is tight, but don’t put all of your produce in the freezer. During an extended power outage, you stand to lose a large portion of your deep freeze contents. If you do purchase a large amount of produce for the freezer, have canning jars, lids, and an off-grid method for canning them if the electricity goes down for the long-term. Frozen fruits and vegetables can also be dehydrated right in your oven and saved for your stockpile. Freeze-dried: This is a more expensive option, but freeze-dried fruits and vegetables maintain their nutrients, require little storage space, and need no special storage conditions. You can add a great deal of variety to your pantry with a selection of freeze dried ingredients and the foods, if sealed correctly, can last up to 25 years. You can find a wide variety of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables HERE. Other useful information can be found here, in the book The Prepper’s Blueprint. Hopefully, these few (and by all means, there are many more) ideas can get you on track to having a surplus of nutrient-rich produce in your prepper stockpile.

Housing Starts plunged 8.2% MoM in December (5 times worse than expected and the biggest drop since Nov 2016) and November was revised lower as it seems the exuberant steam is coming out of the housing 'recovery'.
Year-over-Year Housing Starts tumbled 6.0%... Driven by a big slump in single-family housing starts... However, single-family permits rose to cycle highs...highest since 2007 Of course - focus on permits (the future) and ignore the starts (must be the weather) will be the narrative of the day!

Subject: PREPER BEWARE: Elon University Professor Is Using Software To Provide Private Details On American Patriots To The Domestic Terror Group Antifa Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:19 am
#6 SHOCK: An Elon University Professor Is Using Software To Provide Private Details On American Patriots To The Domestic Terror Group Antifa SHOCK: An Elon University Professor Is Using Software To Provide Private Details On American Patriots To The Domestic Terror Group Antifa
In an absolutely shocking revelation, a report from Wired Magazine has revealed that a professor at Elon University has devised a so-called “secret weapon”, in support of Antifa, that allows her to keep tabs on at least 400,000 Americans who she believes are members of the alt-right. The data is then provided to not only the hard-left Southern Poverty Law Center but also directly to radical members of the domestic terror group Antifa who in turn presumably use the doxxed information to target said Americans. The Wired Magazine report details the work of Megan Squire, a 45-year-old professor professor of computer science at Elon who have developed the software for the hard-left with the admitted aim at not only getting right-wing patriots fired from their jobs but also possibly killed, as Antifa has been known in the past to violently assault anyone that they believe to be a member of the alt-right. Amazingly Wired Magazine makes a women literally giving private details on people she just flat out claims are racist to a domestic terrorist group sound like some sort of hero. The Wired article first describes an initial list of supposed alt-right Americans who Squire targeted for harassment, intimidation, and possible death.
Quote :
Once she had a long list of people to investigate, Squire opened a database of her own design—named Whack-a-Mole—which contains, as far as anyone can tell, the most robust trove of information on far-right extremists. When she cross-checked the names, she found that many matched, strengthening her belief in the authenticity of the leak. By midafternoon, Squire was exchanging messages via Slack with an analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a 46-year-old organization that monitors hate groups. Squire often feeds data to the SPLC, whose analysts might use it to provide information to police or to reveal white supremacists to their employers, seeking to get them fired. She also sent several high-profile names from the list to another contact, a left-wing activist who she knew might take more radical action—like posting their identities and photos online, for the public to do with what it would.
Wired then describes Squire’s program that she claims has exposed upwards of 400,000 Americans who she believes are members of the alt-right and should therefore be attacked in a variety of different ways.
Quote :
Whack-a-Mole, her creation, is a set of programs that monitors some 400,000 accounts of white nationalists on Facebook and other websites and feeds that information into a centralized database. She insists she is scrupulous to not break the law or violate Facebook’s terms of service. Nor does she conceal her identity, in person or online: “We shouldn’t have to mask up to say Nazis are bad. And I want them to see I don’t fit their stereotypes—I’m not a millennial or a ‘snowflake.’ I’m a peaceful white mom who definitely doesn’t like what they’re saying.”
The piece then makes clear that Squire is DIRECTLY working with a domestic terrorist organization to target said Americans.
Quote :
Though Squire may be peaceful herself, among her strongest allies are “antifa” activists, the far-left antifascists. She doesn’t consider herself to be antifa and pushes digital activism instead of the group’s black-bloc tactics, in which bandanna-masked activists physically attack white supremacists. But she is sympathetic to antifa’s goal of silencing racist extremists and is unwilling to condemn their use of violence, describing it as the last resort of a “diversity of tactics.” She’s an intelligence operative of sorts in the battle against far-right extremism, passing along information to those who might put it to real-world use. Who might weaponize it.
At this point one has to wonder, especially considering we already know that there is absolutely not 400,000 racist Americans spreading their views on Facebook, what Squire is using to determine who is and isn’t a member of the alt-right. As The Daily Caller reported, Squire is actually using legitimate wording routinely used by mainstream conservatives throughout social media or, in other words, her system is being used not to simply target terrible racists, but to actually expose American patriots whose only crime is being conservative.
Quote :
On a recently published post on Squire’s blog, the professor classifies what constitutes a “far-right extremist” by 12 different ideologies. She uses a variety of keywords to identify so-called extremists, including popular terms like “anti-SJW,” “anti-Obama,” “No Sharia Law,” “rebel,” patriot,” and even “kek.” As Far Left Watch notes, the vague keywords offer no guarantee that most of the 400,000 individuals on her list are “far-right extremists.” Furthermore, even if they were, vigilante action taken by Antifa supporters against any of these people could result in harm to both innocent people marked as targets, or their assailants.
Make no mistake, this is literally a women building a database on patriotic conservative Americans, with some racists throw in, and then providing the details to a group that openly uses violence against Trump supporters or anyone else that they have deemed to be “fascist”. “The people who are targeted and assaulted by far-left groups like antifa cover a wide political spectrum. Anyone framing this growing conflict as simply “antifascist vs. white supremacist” is uninformed at best and operating with malicious intent at worst. This article by Wired is a continuation of the ongoing media campaign to normalize and popularize political violence from the left,” Far Left Watch continued.

100 VICTIMS TESTIFY IN COURT OVER MASSIVE CHILD MOLESTATION COVER-UP IN USA GYMNASTICS Published: January 17, 2018
SOURCE: RACHEL BLEVINS
Nearly 100 women will read victim impact statements this week, sharing their accounts of the horrific sexual assault they endured when they were young girls, at the hands of Larry Nassar—and in doing so, they are also revealing that USA Gymnastics enabled the predator.
“You failed all of us, and for that, I see you in the same category of criminal as I do the criminal standing before us today,” Olivia Cowan said in court on Tuesday, addressing the roles of USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University in allowing Nassar’s abuse to continue for decades.
Cowan accused the organizations of ignoring numerous complaints about Nassar’s conduct and noted that they have still refused to take responsibility for their role in the abuse, claiming they were never alerted to Nassar’s serial abuse.
“Today, I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend that is struggling each day to find peace and joy in all the things that once made me happy,” Cowan said.
The long-term effects stemming from Nassar’s sexual and psychological abuse were also brought to light in court. Donna Markham spoke on behalf of her daughter Chelsey, who took her own life after a confession about Nassar’s abuse—that occurred in the doctor’s office, while her mother was in the room—drove her to a path of depression and drugs that led to suicide.
“Every day I miss her. Every day. And it all started with him. It all started with him, and it just became worse as the years went by until she just couldn’t deal with it anymore,” Markham said.
A total of 140 women have publicly revealed that they were sexually assaulted by Nassar, and some of the most notable victims include Olympic gymnasts McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles.
Maroney, 22, was originally facing a $100,000 fine if she testified in court against Nassar, after she signed a non-disclosure agreement as part of her settlement with USA Gymnastics, according to a report from The New York Times.
The settlement was finalized in December 2016, and it left Maroney with $1.25 million. However, she is now suing USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic Committee and Michigan State University claiming that she was forced to sign an illegal NDA preventing her from talking about her abuse and that the three organizations enabled Nasser’s actions despite numerous complaints.
“During the period McKayla Maroney was being sexually abused and harassed by Nassar, Defendants had the authority and ability to prevent such abuse by removing Nassar from his position as team physician at Team USA, USAG and in his status with the USOC. They failed to do so, allowing the abuse to occur and to continue unabated.”
Maroney’s lawsuit claims that she “was forced to agree to a non-disparagement clause and confidentiality provision,” and that she would be fined at least $100,000 if she was ever to “speak of her abuse or the settlement.” The lawsuit also claimed that Maroney accepted the money because she needed the funds to seek treatment for the psychological damage caused by Nassar’s abuse.
USA Gymnastics responded with the claim that the settlement terms were created by Maroney’s attorney, and that “the process culminated in a settlement agreement that included a mutual non-disclosure clause and a mutual non-disparagement clause.”
Maroney’s lawsuit claims that USA Gymnastics “had a plan to keep the sexual abuse of Nassar quiet, and allow Nassar to quietly leave USAG, and further silence his victims.” It also alleges that Nassar has possession of thousands of photographs he took of Maroney, and he has shared them with other pedophiles.
“Nassar would continuously, obsessively and compulsively photograph McKayla Maroney and is believed to have possessed thousands of photographs of McKayla Maroney competing in gymnastics events, training, in everyday situations.
McKayla Maroney alleges that she believes photographs were taken of her while Nassar was sexually abusing her under the guise of treatment. McKayla Maroney is further informed and believes, and on that basis alleges, that these photographs were shared by Nassar with other pedophiles for their sexual gratification.”
Maroney did speak out about the abuse she endured from Nassar in a post on Twitter in October. She said Nassar began abusing her when she was 13 years old and did not stop until she left the sport when she was 20. She said the worst incident happened when she was 15, and Nassar gave her a sleeping pill and then sexually assaulted her during a trip to Tokyo for a world championship.
“Dr. Nassar told me that I was receiving ‘medically necessary treatment’ that he had been performing on patients for over 30 years,” Maroney wrote. “It seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance, I was ‘treated.’ It happened in London before my team and I won the gold medal, and It happened before I won my silver.”
Following intense criticism of the non-disclosure agreement on social media, USA Gymnastics has announced that it will not fine Maroney if she speaks out about Nassar’s abuse.
Nassar is now facing life in prison, and as The Free Thought Project reported in August 2017, the current policies used by USA Gymnastics are only helping to enable sexual predators like Nassar:
“What these former victims are exposing is also backed up by an investigation by the IndyStar which revealed that top executives at one of America’s most prominent Olympic organizations failed to alert authorities to many allegations of sexual abuse by coaches — relying on a policy that enabled predators to abuse gymnasts long after USA Gymnastics had received warnings. According to the investigation, USA Gymnastics would not disclose the total number of sexual misconduct allegations it receives each year. But records show the organization compiled complaint dossiers on more than 50 coaches and filed them in a drawer in its executive office in Indianapolis.”

Syria Vows To Shoot Down Turkish Jets As Erdogan Orders Putin "Do Not Oppose" Assault
[size=10]by Tyler Durden Thu, 01/18/2018 - 09:03
According to the Associated Press, this morning Syria said it would shoot down any Turkish jets carrying out attacks inside Syria. This comes as preparations continue for an imminent large-scale Turkish attack of Kurdish militia groups currently holding Afrin near the Turkish border.
Multiple regional outlets have confirmed a build-up of forces that could constitute the largest external intervening force thus far in the entirety of the Syrian war, including special forces troops, Army units, Turkish-backed Syrian rebels and Turkey's air force.
In response to Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vowing military action to "destroy all terror nests" in Syria - a reference to the US-backed YPG (which makes up the core of the SDF) which holds vast territory along Turkey's border spanning into northeast Syria - the Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Mekdad told reporters Thursday that Syrian defense systems have regained full operational power and stand ready to destroy Turkish air targets in Syrian airspace should Afrin be attacked. Mekdad also stated that Damascus would consider any Turkish attack on Afrin an act of aggression.

Sporadic fighting and shelling has already occurred according to reports from the region. Though Turkish shelling of Kurdish positions along the border is nothing new in the conflict, should Turkey mobilize its air force in support of ground forces this would mark a dramatic escalation, especially given that both Russia and the US operate over Northern Syria, with Russia controlling the airspace over Afrin Canton and Idlib.
Whether the operation against Syrian Kurds moves forward or not into a full scale Turkish assault by land and air depends in large part on Russia, which has administered 'deconfliction' zones in the Afrin area, and has sponsored trilateral talks with Turkey and Iran which seeks cooperation among the three powers to wind down the war in Syria. Russia is also widely reported to have long had military advisors on the ground in Afrin, which have in the past helped coordinate the fight against ISIS.

While vow to stay in Syria 'for the foreseeable future" seems to have received lots of attention, this source wasn't too surprised by it=> — EHSANI2 (@EHSANI22) January 18, 2018
Though it's uncertain how Russia will interpret new Turkish statements and claims that it has Russian "coordination" in its impending Afrin campaign, Reuters reports:
Quote :
Turkey said on Thursday Russia "should not oppose its operation in Syria’s Afrin" and will coordinate with Moscow on the situation of Russian observers there. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu also told broadcaster CNN Turk that Turkey will coordinate with Russia and Iran on an air operation in Afrin.
Thus far there's been no confirmation of this coming out of the Russian Defense Ministry, and the statement has the tone of an ultimatum rather than an agreed upon fact.

Turkey's saber rattling and ground mobilization - a massive mustering of forces which has now been confirmed through video and reports on the ground - is largely in response to recent US efforts to ramp up support for the Kurdish dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which includes a new initiative to establish and train a new approximately 30,000 member strong "Syrian Border Security Force" - in the words of Pentagon officials.
And with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson outlining a plan Wednesday for US forces staying in Syria indefinitely for the stated purposes of countering Iran, pressuring Assad, and to conduct "stabilization initiatives in liberated areas" - this has Ankara concerned that the United States is effectively backing a de facto Syrian Kurdish state or autonomous zone.
Last weekend Erdogan slammed US plans for its SDF partners, saying during a speech in Ankara, “A country we call an ally is insisting on forming a terror army on our borders." He further vowed of the new US initiative to bolster a Kurdish dominated border security force, "Our mission is to strangle it before it’s even born."

Government agencies scrambled to chalk off the latest Michigan beam weapon sighting as a meteor strike Various press agencies, like the Washington Post, and government agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the USGS, and NASA chalked off the event as a meteor strike. However, the pictures tell a different story.WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (INTELLIHUB) — What looks like some sort of air or space-based beam weapon was captured on film emitting down from the sky Tuesday night, causing a massive explosion. The photos were captured by Kurt Norris. Take a look for yourself. Does this look like a meteor to you?
What about this?
Residents came outside to look at all of the commotion.
Here’s a screenshot of the meteor NASA claims entered the Earth’s atmosphere around 8:08 p.m. on Jan. 16.
WWMT/Zack Lawler
It was not a meteor that caused the ground-based explosion captured in the Kurt Norris images because you can clearly see that the meteor fizzled out with only a small air-burst. https://youtu.be/r8tTgutyizM
The Air Force has been placed on high-alert. The explosion caused a 2.0 magnitude tremor in the vicinity of Saint Clair Shores. Similar events have been reported during the so-called ‘California wildfires.’ Tyler from the “secureteam10” YouTube channel does a great job explaining what occurred Tuesday night. https://youtu.be/qjhIjsHMQcs
The media also ran an aparant cover story of a ‘vehicle fire’ in a residential neighborhood.

TOM FITTON WARNS: “Tsunami of Information” Set To Expose “Obama/Clinton/Deep State Scandals” (VIDEO)
by Joshua Caplan
Echoing statements he made on Fox News program “Hannity” last week, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton warned on Tuesday that a “tsunami of information” exposing “Obama/Clinton/Deep State scandals,” will soon be released.
Quote :
Be prepared. There is a tsunami of information that will eventually come out on the Obama/Clinton/Deep State scandals — Russia, pay-to-play, Clinton emails, text messages, etc….thanks to @JudicialWatch.https://t.co/30gKn6aw62 — Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) January 17, 2018
Joined by Fox News contributor Sara Carter, Fitton told Sean Hannity:
Quote :
“I think there’s going to be, as Sara’s indicating, a tsunami of information coming out on all of these scandals. We have the court ruling that the Clinton emails need to be released more quickly. So, we’re going to get all these Clinton emails that she tried to hide or delete […..] Or as we found on the Weiner laptop, classified information and pay-to-play, which I guarantee is going to be coming out. And then we had the court just yesterday talk about how he wants the Comey memos, because he wants to review the Comey memos, which are the genesis of the Mueller operation […] It’s all building. There are text messages they are talking about. Now we are going to find out more details about the FISA, the intelligence surveillance abuses.”
Judicial Watch recently announced a federal judge ordered the State Department to speed up the release Hillary Clinton’s 72,000 pages of email records. The records will be released September 28th, 2018 — not in 2020. Reporter Sara Carter recently toldFox News host Sean Hannity that the Inspector General’s report will be released sometime in January, however, the deadline may have been quietly pushed back.
As The Gateway Pundit‘s Jim Hoft reported, The Department of Justice turned over some of the 1.2 million documents requested by lawmakers this past week. The documents are related to the Obama Justice Department’s activities during the 2016 election.

DoJ turns over some of the 1.2 million documents requested by Hse Judiciary Cmte as part of Congressional probe into DoJ & the election — Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 12, 2018
Additionally, According to the Daily Caller, Nunes and the House Intel Committee reviewed all FBI and DOJ docs on the dossier including the FISA apps. It’s all coming together.

TOM FITTON WARNS: “Tsunami of Information” Set To Expose “Obama/Clinton/Deep State Scandals” (VIDEO) by Joshua Caplan 249 Comments 18.3KShare293TweetEmail Echoing statements he made on Fox News program “Hannity” last week, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton warned on Tuesday that a “tsunami of information” exposing “Obama/Clinton/Deep State scandals,” will soon be released.
Be prepared. There is a tsunami of information that will eventually come out on the Obama/Clinton/Deep State scandals — Russia, pay-to-play, Clinton emails, text messages, etc….thanks to @JudicialWatch.https://t.co/30gKn6aw62
— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) January 17, 2018
Joined by Fox News contributor Sara Carter, Fitton told Sean Hannity:
“I think there’s going to be, as Sara’s indicating, a tsunami of information coming out on all of these scandals. We have the court ruling that the Clinton emails need to be released more quickly. So, we’re going to get all these Clinton emails that she tried to hide or delete […..] Or as we found on the Weiner laptop, classified information and pay-to-play, which I guarantee is going to be coming out. And then we had the court just yesterday talk about how he wants the Comey memos, because he wants to review the Comey memos, which are the genesis of the Mueller operation […] It’s all building. There are text messages they are talking about. Now we are going to find out more details about the FISA, the intelligence surveillance abuses.”
Judicial Watch recently announced a federal judge ordered the State Department to speed up the release Hillary Clinton’s 72,000 pages of email records.
The records will be released September 28th, 2018 — not in 2020.
Reporter Sara Carter recently told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the Inspector General’s report will be released sometime in January, however, the deadline may have been quietly pushed back.
As The Gateway Pundit‘s Jim Hoft reported, The Department of Justice turned over some of the 1.2 million documents requested by lawmakers this past week.
The documents are related to the Obama Justice Department’s activities during the 2016 election.
DoJ turns over some of the 1.2 million documents requested by Hse Judiciary Cmte as part of Congressional probe into DoJ & the election

Additionally, According to the Daily Caller, Nunes and the House Intel Committee reviewed all FBI and DOJ docs on the dossier including the FISA apps.
It’s all coming together.

The Trump phenomenon is picking up steam, not just in America, but internationally. Worldwide people are rejecting the globalists. The reason for this phenomenon is because freedom and the subsequent development of an internal locus of control is an innate trait. In a stunning example of this rejection of globalism is exemplified by North and South Korea. Here are two nations, with a common heritage, on the verge of nuclear war with each other, and they have for the time being, rejected the globalist move towards World War III. The two Koreas are going to march together in the Olympics. The two Koreas are going to form on joint olympic hockey team. This is significant beyond belief. In the chaos leading up to WW III, the people and the leadership of the two countries are telling the globalists where to go and what to do when they get they get there. This announcement is a stunning rebuke of globalist goals. It further demonstrates that war is an unnatural act. The Hopis’ have a saying that no tree is so foolish to have branches so stupid to attack themselves. We are the only species on the planet that engages in this insane behavior we call war. The desire for war, especially a war that could wipe out the bulk of humanity is so insane that both North Korea and South Korea have rejected the move. I have one caveat for the wonderful Korean people, beware of false flags at the Olympics because one does not say “no” to the globalists with impunity.
[size=42]Mounting a Defense Against Humanity’s Right to Self-Determination[/size]
In many ways, Trump’s election was a kind of Magna Carta and a Declaration of Independence all in one fell swoop and now the globalists are trying to find ways to fight back and their efforts are falling on deaf ears. Here in Arizona, Senator Jeff Flake(y), has announced that he is not running for re-election. Why? Because Flake cannot defeat any number of challengers to his seat (eg Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Congresswoman Sinema). Why is Flake so unpopular in Arizona? The answer is painfullly obvious, he opposes Trump’s nationalist agenda of making “America Great Again”. Flake is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He opposes the recovery of the middle class, the wiping out of the free-trade agreements. He is a closet globalist who has gone as far as he can in his political career because the people of Arizona have tagged him a globalist who really hates America. He is politically washed up and now he is exhibiting the two year old tendencies of a temper tantrum in which Flake(y) stated that President Trump’s treatment of the fake news media reminds him of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. As shocking and disrespectful as these comments were, nobody was paying attention. Flake delivered his comments in an empty chamber of the US Senate. Only two Democrats attended. There can be no question that Flake is trying to draw favor from the globalists as he lives out his final days as Arizona’s junior senator. However, he and his message are rejected and like so many globalists are finding, they and their message of hate and division are being rebuked by humanity, not just by Americans. The populism of Trump is triumphing in America. However, there is not cause for celebration because the globalists are redoubling their efforts against Trump ultimately against humanity.
[size=42]The Globalist State of the Union Message[/size]
Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller has brought the extremist globalist war against the common man out in the open when he stated that Trump is an avowed “nationalist” who must be stopped at all costs. CNBC one of the waterboys for the New World Order, stated that Shiller says the world’s leaders find it “troublesome” that Trump’s nationalism” was thwarting the rising tide of a globalist takeover. I find it incredible that Schiller put globalism on display for all to see. CNBC quoted Shiller as bemoaning the fact that .“Trump is a revolution unfortunately, who’s reaffirming nationalism…” Shiller stated that Trump’s “nationalist” victories will be short-lived because the Democrats will recapture Congress in the mid-term elections and Trump’s “America First” agenda will be effectively derailed. I am absolutely stunned how open the globalist are now becoming. They are not even hiding their agenda as they have for so many decades. Terms like “conspiracy theorist” no longer carry the punch that they once did. Shiller said Trump’s nationalist agenda is crazy. Apple just announced that they are investing $350 Billion in American plants. This is on the heels of Cadillac making the same kind of announcement as have dozens of “globalist corporations” who are defecting to Trump because they can make more money under the new tax plan than they can under the marxist-socialist policies of the wannabe elite.
[size=42]Conclusions Drawn From Recent Events[/size]
Shiller issued a threat to all men and women of common means. He stated that upcoming economic forum in Davos will find ways to stunt “the international growth of populism and nationalism that has surged as a result of Brexit and Trump”. I believe that privately, assassination and a coup against the American government will be considered in the side-bar meetings that will take place. I am publicly advising the President to not attend the Davos conference as I believe his life is in extreme danger at this conference. Shiller refers to the Trump phenomenon as a virus that has to be controlled and destroyed. Shiller and a rising number of globalists are openly referring to populism as a threat that must be destroyed by any and all means possible as the planet marches toward globalism. Shiller and the rest of the globalists have openly declared war on humanity. There is no limit to what these people will not do. From the discussions I have had since the Hawaiian so-called fake missile alert, I have concluded that there was a indeed a missile fired at Hawaii in which it is my personal opinion that this was an attempt to provoke the American people into wanting WW III against North Korea. I believe that this missile was brought down and then the coverup started. I have learned that the mechanism of warning of an impending attack is a 5 step process and the excuse that a wrong button was pushed in shift change is ridiculous. The readers may recall that the next day the same thing happened in Japan in which it was revealed that their system mimics the American system and is also a 5 step process before an alert is issued. I believe that what we will find as these two events are unveiled is that two missiles were fired in order to achieve the same end. I believe that this was a false flag attack attempting to frame North Korea for starting World War III. It is also my opinion that this attempted attack was in response to the announcement that the two Koreas are attempting to align along sports, namely, the Olympics. The globalists are desperate to not let this war of planetary unification commence against North Korea. I think it is clear that the world just avoided two attempted false flag events designed to produce World War III. Details are already leaking out and it will not be long until we have more proof to support my hypothesis. There is no question that the events in Hawaii were fabricated.
[size=42]Conclusion[/size]
We live in perilous times and the fate of every person on this planet could turn in a moment. Please heed the advice of so many take precautions by beomcing indiviudally prepared. As in all recent disasters, the government has proven that they cannot effectively respond to any large-scale crisis, much less a nuclear war or a series of false flag events. The people are finally speaking as one against the insane globalists, the globalists will respond by exterminating humanity if need be. At the end of the day, you can only rely on your family, your level of preparation and your faith in God.

COP TASERS INNOCENT DAD IN THE BACK FOR RESCUING HIS PETS IN HOUSE FIRE—TAXPAYERS HELD LIABLE Published: January 18, 2018
SOURCE: MATT AGORIST @ FREE THOUGHT PROJECT
Grandville, MI — Robert W. Burt Jr., 63, was in his front yard gardening when he saw what appeared to be smoke billowing from his roof. So, he called 911 and proceeded to get his wife and daughter out of the house. However, when he would try to go back to rescue his pets, police would show up, taser him in the back—twice—and arrest him. Burt has just been awarded $75,000 in a settlement from the excessive force lawsuit he brought against the Grandville Police Department for the incident which took place in 2014. “His injuries were not that significant, but the insult and offensiveness of what happened were tremendous,’’ attorney Keary W. Sawyer said. “The settlement reflects the wrongfulness of the act.’’ That day, as his house burned, Burt was trying to round up his beloved pet cats and get them to safety. However, when Grandville Police Sgt. Kenneth C. Howland showed up and told him to get off his own property, Burt wanted to make sure his pets were okay before complying. Burt told Howland that he had every right to be on the property because he owned it. As Burt continued to save his cats, Howland pulled out his taser and shot the 63-year-old father in the back. For trying to save his pets on his own property, Burt was tasered in the back, handcuffed, brought to jail, and charged with disobeying and obstructing a police officer. According to Sawyer, Burt was in no danger from the fire when Howland struck because the department had gotten most of it under control and was putting out hotspots when Howland arrived and tasered him. According to the lawsuit, as Burt began walking away along the west edge of the yard, the officer told him, “Stop or I’ll Tase you.’ The officer then pulled a Taser from his holster and discharged the weapon, striking Burt in the back. Burt dropped to the ground and was trying to push himself up when he was struck a second time, according to the lawsuit. “He did nothing to interfere,’’ Sawyer said. “Any allegation that he interfered is simply not true. It really was offensive that he was Tasered not once, but twice in the back and then muscled around by a couple of police officers.’’ Sawyer was right. After he was arrested, all charges against Burt were dropped. And now, a lawsuit has vindicated him as well. As WZZM reports, attorney Gus Morris, who represented the city, called the settlement a fair resolution for all parties involved. “It was a case with uncertainty on both sides,’’ Morris said. “Based on the costs of going forward, we placed an offer on the table and the case was resolved.’’
If you think police tasering and arresting people for trying to save their loved ones or pets never happens, think again. As TFTP reported at the time, on October 31, 2013, the house of Ryan and Cathy Miller caught fire. In that fire, their 3-year-old son, Riley Miller was killed. The 911 call came in at 12:58 am and firefighters showed up just 5 minutes later. Ryan Miller knew his 3-year-old stepson was trapped inside, and he was going to do whatever it took to get him out. However, as he kicked in the front door to the home in an attempt to save his child, police showed up. As Miller tried to run back into the house, police grabbed him. Obviously, Miller pulled away from the officers as he and his wife’s 3-year-old was trapped in a deadly inferno; that’s when the taser came out. Miller was tasered several times as he fought to save his son. “He tried to get back in the house to get the baby,” Lori Miller, Riley’s grandmother said. “They took my son to jail because he tried to save his son.” Even if Miller would’ve died trying to save his son, it was his right and duty as a father to do so. It’s not just innocent civilians who are attacked for trying to stop fires around police officers either. Fire Chief Christopher Herzog was arrested in Dec 2016 for attempting to prevent a police officer from making a fire worse. Cannelton police officer Ryen Foertsch was at the location of the fire and in plain clothes, not dressed as an officer and was attempting to smash in one of the windows of the house, a move that could have obviously made the fire far worse by providing it with oxygen. Herzog arrived on the scene to witness the blunder and attempted to prevent the officer from literally adding fuel to the fire, and tried to get him away from the house. Sensing that his authority was being threatened, Foertsch arrested the fire chief as the house continued to burn. To make matters worse, as the house burned, the police ordered the remaining fire crew off of the property, preventing them from doing their jobs and putting lives and property at risk. Officer Foertsch then arrested Herzog and charged him with a felony—for doing his job.

Jeremiah Johnson January 18th, 2018
There was a 20-nation security meeting in Vancouver on Tuesday, 1/15/18, and the nations in attendance agreed to impose stronger sanctions against North Korea in a bid to stop their nuclear weapons buildup and tests. China and Russia did not attend, and stated the meeting was evidence of another Cold War forming. The most alarming rhetoric, however, emanated from the U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson, who flat out stated that if the North Koreans do not negotiate, it will bring about a military response. Here is the video clip and an excerpt heading as released by Reuters on 1/17/18, entitled US Warns Pyongyang on Military Option:
Quote :
Twenty nations agree to consider tougher sanctions to press North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons as U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warns Pyongyang it could trigger a military response if it does not choose negotiations.”Twenty nations agree to consider tougher sanctions to press North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons as U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warns Pyongyang it could trigger a military response if it does not choose negotiations.
[size] As headlines run, there is nothing that “jumps out” with this one, until you delve into the substance of it. This is very serious, as the U.S. has been narrowing the cone of the funnel toward war, now, for several months…a quiet escalation in the form of movements of military assets into the area, military exercises (designed to provoke North Korea), and steadily-increasing sanctions. Bottom Line? Tillerson threatens a U.S. military response if North Korea does not negotiate: military action not to counter or prevent military action, mind you…but military action if they do not negotiate. Akin to an Anglo-Centric schoolyard, the Vancouver Summit was a “closed” meeting of nations with stances determined prior to the meeting. The U.S., Canada, Britain, and Australia…and the “English-speaking kids,” only invited nations that either fought in the Korean War or nations that would abide by the program…nations that would not present dissenting views. Russia and China were not invited: go figure. Another headline sums it up most eloquently as released by CBC News. The article is entitled, North Korea Summit in Vancouver to focus on enforcing sanctions ahead of diplomacy. How do you like that one? “Focus on enforcing sanctions ahead of diplomacy.” The imposition of sanctions prior to diplomatic discourse is extortion: nothing less. Here’s another statement from Tillerson on 1/16: [/size]
Quote :
“We cannot and will not accept DPRK as a nuclear state.”
[size] Big news, Rex: North Korea already is a nuclear state. If they were not? Jaime Dimon would be the North Korean “Czar,” heading a round-table discussion group on how many McDonald’s and Wal-Mart’s were to be “emplaced” in North Korea, Un would be dead, and the IMF would be sending in an army of accountants and other vampires under UN protection…to parcel off all North Korea’s natural resources…as “caretakers” for the North Korean people’s benefit. Bigger news, Rex: Russia and China will not permit it, as any such in-roads at “transforming North Korea into a democratic member of the family of nations” …translation: [making North Korea another IMF and Rothschild vassal enslaved under the guise of democracy] would cut into their sphere of influence. Some have analyzed this as an attempt by Tillerson to shore up his position in the White House, but that doesn’t hold water, because it benefits the administration to make it seem as if diplomatic options are being offered before an attack by the U.S. It’s a “CYA” policy by the U.S. administration, and Tillerson still takes the fall if anything goes wrong. Just within the past week, we have seen one false alarm (intentional or accidental?) missile alert in Hawaii, and another one in Japan. The “predictive programming” paradigm holds, and war is always the answer to bolster a politician’s position. Schachtner just won a state seat in Wisconsin’s senate that had been Republican-held for 17 years, and Doug Jones recently defeated Roy Moore in Alabama. The midterms are not even here yet. A sitting U.S. Secretary of State…the head diplomat of the U.S., mind you…has just announced that if North Korea does not negotiate, that a military response will occur. Not one attempt has been made by Tillerson (or the State Department, for that matter) to initiate face-to-face dialogue and relegate arrogant imperialistic hubris to where it belongs…in the basement. Millions of lives are at stake that are not considered important. What takes center stage is the pride of a narcissistic handful in the administration. Truly, the Empire is at an end. A sitting U.S. Secretary of State…the head U.S. diplomat…resorts to the pandering of extortion to force diplomats from North Korea to bargain. [/size]

ICE Plans Largest Raid On Northern California Illegals After State Passes Sanctuary Legislation
U.S. immigration officials plan to conduct a "major sweep" in San Francisco and other Northern California cities over the next few weeks in the recently-minted "sanctuary state," reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Centered in the Bay Area, the campaign has its sights set on over 1,500 undocumented individuals - sending a message that federal immigration policies will still be enforced in the 'defiant' sanctuary state. According to The Chronicle, ICE will be flying immigration enforcement officers in from around the country to assist with the raids - which will include worksites believed to be harboring illegal employees. The raids could take several days, according to an unnamed source.
The sweep would be the largest of its kind under the Trump administration, a source told the Chronicle - and would be the first such operation since California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation enacting statewide "sanctuary" laws last October - vastly limiting who state and local law enforcement agencies can detain, question and transfer at the request of federal authorities. It also forbids police officers from making arrests for civil immigration warrants, as well as joining federal task forces intended to enforce immigration laws. Acting ICE Director Homan slammed Jerry Brown and the state of California for passing SB54, which he said undermined public safety.
In an appearance earlier this month on Fox News, Homan accused California Democrats and Gov. Jerry Brown of placing "politics ahead of public safety," adding that California "better hold on tight," as ICE would "significantly increase" pressure on the state. “They’re about to see a lot more special agents, a lot more deportation officers in the state of California,” said Homan.
Quote :
The operation would go after people who have been identified as targets for deportation, including those who have been served with final deportation orders and those with criminal histories, the source said. The number could tick up if officers come across other undocumented immigrants in the course of their actions and make what are known as collateral arrests. -SF Chronicle
When asked for comment on Tuesday, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was outraged, saying that immigrants "must not be targeted in raids solely because they are Californians," adding that a large-scale enforcement operation would suggest that “the administration is carrying out its enforcement actions to make a political point and not based on the security of the country.”
Quote :
Last week, a group of politicians including Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, and Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen requesting a meeting with her and Homan to clarify the remarks he made on Fox News about stepping up enforcement in California. “The statements are a direct threat to Californians,” the letter read. “These statements are reprehensible and the department’s change in policy will instill fear in our communities. ... Acting Director Homan’s attack on sanctuary cities is not only an infringement of state rights but a direct assault on communities of color.” -The Chronicle
Jerry Brown and other California Democrats would be wise to watch this... https://youtu.be/rd0AdArPjqU

Zimbabwe Opposition Leader Dies In Helicopter Crash
by Tyler Durden Thu, 01/18/2018 - 14:43

Two months after a bloodless coup removed Robert Mugabe, the country's dictator of nearly 4 decades, in a bizarre coincidence, moments ago New Mexico authorities said the leader of the Zimbabwe opposition, and founding Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) treasurer, Roy Bennett, has been killed in a helicopter crash.
According to the Associated Press, State Police Lt. Elizabeth Armijo confirmed Bennett's death Thursday, a day after a helicopter carrying him and five others went down in a mountainous rural area of northern New Mexico. Details of why the 60-year-old Bennett was in the area weren't immediately available.
Quote :
Obert Gutu, spokesman for the MDC-T opposition party, said the loss of Bennett, a white man who spoke fluent Shona and drew the wrath of former President Robert Mugabe, was tragic. Gutu says Bennett's wife, Heather, also died.
[size] The helicopter went down about 6 p.m. Wednesday near the Colorado state line, killing five and injuring a sixth person aboard. Bennett won a parliamentary seat in a rural constituency despite being white, angering Mugabe and his ruling ZANU-PF party. He won a devoted following of black Zimbabweans for passionately advocating political change. He was known as "Pachedu," meaning "one of us" in Shona and was often called the sharpest thorn in Mugabe's side. MDC-T vice president Nelson Chamisa told TimesLIVE that the opposition has lost a gallant son who wanted to see a new Zimbabwe: "He was a true democrat and really wanted to see the push for a free Zimbabwe‚" he said. People's Democratic Party leader Tendai Biti took to social media to express his dismay: "What a blow to our struggle. I can’t believe I will never speak to you again‚ Badze‚” he said‚ using one of Bennett’s nicknames. A friend in political circles‚ David Coltart‚ described the Bennett’s as “two of Zimbabwe’s greatest patriots”. * * * Bennett was based in South Africa on political asylum‚ granted in 2007. During his time in exile‚ he played a role in activism for Zimbabwe‚ and particularly the MDC‚ in South Africa. In 2006 he became the treasurer general for the mainstream faction of the MDC‚ led by Morgan Tsvangirai. He was also a spokesman in South Africa and made regular interviews on behalf of the MDC, according to the Sunday Times. He returned to Zimbabwe in 2009‚ and Tsvangirai wanted him as deputy agriculture minister - but former President Robert Mugabe refused to swear him in. He was later rearrested for treason‚ but then released. Afterwards‚ he left Zimbabwe for South Africa and never returned. * * * Separately, AP reported that Zimbabwe’s new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, said he plans to pay billions of dollars in compensation for land improvements to white farmers who lost their property in seizures almost two decades ago and may approach international bond markets to raise funds for infrastructure to revive the country’s moribund economy. Mnangagwa, 75, sees resolving the land issue as a key step to end the southern African nation’s isolation that saw the economy halve in size during the past 18 years of the rule of former president Robert Mugabe. “We will continue to compensate; it is going to cost a lot of money,” Mnangagwa said Thursday in an interview at his offices in Harare, the capital. “I believe it will come to billions down the line.”[/size]

January 18, 2018 Obama FBI/DOJ/FISA Abuse Report Goes To Full House Of Representatives After Democrats Try To Block Access From Fellow Lawmakers
- What Are Democrats So Scared Of?
By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
The House Intelligence Committee took two votes, one was to release the highly publicized testimony from Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, and it appears the measure passed unanimously. The other passed strictly along party lines, with Democratic committee members attempting to block the release of a brief report which summarizes the Obama era FBI/DOJ FISA abuses, which reportedly also includes the answer as to whether the FBI and/or the DOJ used the discredited, and unverified, Steele dossier to obtain FISA warrant to surveil the Trump campaign team members.
The vote wasn't even to to release the summary to the public because it contains classified information, the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee were attempting to block the rest of the 435 members of Congress from being allowed to see whether the FBI and DOJ, under Obama, had abused their positions in order to spy on an opposing party's presidential candidate and president-elect.
WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
The bottom line answer to this is that Democrats on the committee attempted to prevent the rest of the House of Representatives from seeing the proof that the Obama administration violated keys aspects of the law, abused the system, and did so with impunity, until now.
To get the full context of how brutal the battle to get information to the public has been, we go back for a brief recap, starting in March 2017, when House Intelligence Committee chairman David Nunes made headlines by exposing to reporters that the Intelligence community, under Obama had "incidentally" collected information, via surveillance on Trump transition team members after the election.
After left-wing activists filed ethics complaints against Nunes, he temporarily handed over the reigns of the Russia investigation to Representative Mike Conaway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, until the Ethics Committee determined he did not violate any ethics rules.
That was the long story short, feel free to follow the links for the detailed versions.
In December 2017, after the ethics committee cleared Nunes, he announced that as the investigation had progressed they had uncovered evidence of "abuse" on the part of the intelligence community during the Obama presidency.
“I believe there's evidence that abuses have occurred," Nunes said in his first interview since the House Ethics Committee dismissed allegations he had wrongly released classified information as part of the panel’s Russia investigation.
"We have had an ongoing investigation into DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI since mid-summer for both FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] abuse and other matters that we can't get into too much. But it is very concerning."
Nune's stated at the time "I hate to use the word corrupt, but they become so dirty that, who is watching the watchmen? Who is investigating these people? There is no one."
Now, evidence that Democrats and Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have had for over a week, can be seen by the full House of Representatives, via a secure room since information within the brief report is still classified. They will know, but as of now, the public will not.... unless of course Gateway Pundit is right in saying "let the leaking begin."
Co-founder of the Federalist, Sean Davis states, via Twitter "Schiff and the rest of the House Intel Democrats saw the DOJ/FBI/FISA docs on the dossier over a week ago. The lack of any leaks plus their votes today to block release of that info suggest the documents are catastrophically bad for Dems."
Note- A fair amount of snark there as it was Schiff that is believed to have leaked information from the classified testimony of Donald Trump Jr., during the testimony, to CNN, that Wikileaks had provided him with an encryption code to a release before they had released it to the public, only to later have to correct their report, showing the email sent to Don Jr. had been sent by someone else, after Wikileaks had already released the information in question to the public, therefore negating the entire implication that there was some type of collusion between Don Jr. and Wikileaks.
That particular screw up by CNN, and others, made President Trump's Fake News Awards of 2017 list, ranking as number 3.
The implication by Davis is clear, had the information contained in the report vindicated Democrats or the Obama administration, Schiff or his Democratic cohorts would have been leaking like a faucet, but since not a peep has been leaked to the mainstream media in over a week about the report, it is damaging to Democrats and the intelligence community from the Obama era.
The fact that Democrats fought so hard to prevent even the full House of Representatives from seeing this report, gives more credence to three sources, two congressional members, one person in the DOJ, that told Sean Hannity, "100 percent the dossier was used at least in part, one person said was significantly a part of getting the FISA warrant." Sara Carter from Circa had also received confirmation from a variety of sources that "the dossier was absolutely used as part of the FBI's ability to gain a warrant to basically spy on members of the Trump campaign."
In the video clip from that discussion, Hannity and Carter are joined by chairman of the Freedom Caucus Rep. Mark Meadows and former chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, where Meadows argued at the time to "let every member have access, not only to that FISA application, but to all the outstanding work that Chairman Nunes has put forth in terms of gathering documents." He went on to state, "it is time that every member has the access to those documents. So we are calling on our leadership to make that available."
Obama FBI/DOJ/FISA Abuse Report Goes To Full House Of Representatives After Democrats Try To Block Access From Fellow Lawmakers Rep. Jordan takes it a step further, saying that once the full House gets to see this information, then the chorus will grow stronger to "declassify this, make this public so the American people can understand once and for all what exactly happened."
Watch the entire segment, because there are members of Congress, fighting for transparency, not only to the full Congress, but so that the general public, "we the people" that pay their salaries, can be informed of exactly what was done, whether the DOJ/FBI and the Obama administration abused their positions in order to frame a President-elect from the opposing party.

Jordan's point above from last week is also one Political Analyst Byron York makes at Washington Examiner on Thursday in his report about the vote to allow the full House to see the report.
Which raises another question: When will the public know? Obviously, the more House members know about the dossier investigation, the more likely its classified results are to leak. That might happen at any time.
But Republicans can pursue another strategy, as well. The House itself can declassify documents under certain conditions. If enough members support declassifying the House Intel report, then the House as a body could move to declassify the information in it. And then the public would know.

It's unclear whether that will happen. Much depends on lawmakers' reaction to the report. But after months of delays and frustration, things appear to be moving quickly on the dossier front. They'll likely move faster in coming days, after more lawmakers have taken a look at the new report.
BOTTOM LINE
While it has taken over a year to get to this point, York is right, seeing this vote to allow all members of Congress to have access to the information contained in the report, a little over one week since the information became available, is incredibly fast in terms of how long Congressional actions generally take, which means things are heating up pretty quickly now.
As to why this is so very important.... if the unverified, Clinton and DNC funded, Kremlin sourced, Steele dossier was used in any way to commit fraud against the FISA court in order to obtain the surveillance on the Trump campaign after the election, then every single bit of evidence obtained by the special counsel or any other investigative body, including the intelligence community, that stemmed from that FISA warrant, is all "fruit of the poisonous tree," and cannot be used in a court of law.
Fruit of the Poisonous Tree- A doctrine that extends the exclusionary rule to make evidence inadmissible in court if it was derived from evidence that was illegally obtained. As the metaphor suggests, if the evidential "tree" is tainted, so is its "fruit." The doctrine was established in 1920 by the decision in Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, and the phrase "fruit of the poisonous tree" was coined by Justice Frankfurter in his 1939 opinion in Nardone v. United States.
The bottom line question is obvious: What are Democrats so scared of in the Steele dossier report that they actually voted against allowing the their fellow congress men and women from seeing it?

Over a dozen police showed up this morning at the New York City office headquarters for Newsweek magazine (and its parent IBT Media). As The Outline reports, the reason for the visit was not clear, but one employee said police were taking photos of the company’s servers.
The New York Post reports that IBT Media was co-founded by Jonathan Davis and Etienne Uzac, adding that the IRS placed a $1.2 million federal tax lien against Uzac in December 2017. Of course the raid could be due to the uproar that this article caused today...

In the past, IBT has been linked to a Christian church founded by Korean American evangelist David Jang and Olivet University, a university in California that Jang’s followers founded. The office is at 7 Hanover Square in New York’s financial district.
Police also visited the office in December, a former employee said. Employees were told that it was because a white substance had been mailed to Executive News Director Ken Li, which they were then told turned out to be a false alarm.
