Labour Party Linked with ‘European Branch of Hamas’ ........................................................................................................ Breitbart News Network ^ \| 11 Feb 2015 \| Andre Walker The Labour Party under Ed Miliband has long trumpeted its support for the cause of Palestine, but it denies any connections with Hamas. However, documents seen by Breitbart London show just how close the two have become in recent years, despite the public denials. The connection is through a group called the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) which has donated money to a Labour MP, and even sponsored a dinner with Ed Miliband . The PRC has been accused by the Israeli government of being the European branch of Hamas. Despite concerns about its links to the terror group it was still allowed to pay £2,000 to sponsor a dinner with Ed Miliband. The dinner was attended by the de facto Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, Dr. Manuel Hassasian, along with the chairman of the PRC, Majed Al Zeer. Information about the dinner was posted on the PRC’s website along with a photo of Ed Miliband speaking. It was posted in the “Lobbying and delegations” section of the website (Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

Texas Border School Paying Ex-Felon Lawyer $300,000 per Year – Plus More Breitbart ^ \| 11 Feb 2015 \| Bob Price DONNA, Texas – The president of the Donna Independent School District (ISD), Albert Sandoval, hired a convicted felon to be general counsel for the district and agreed to pay him $300,000 per year in retainer fees plus $225 per hour for legal services. The negotiating of the contract with Robert J. Salinas, and his hiring was done without input from the school board. Breitbart Texas’ Ildefonso Ortiz previously reported that Salinas was hired at a rate that was over three times the retainer that was paid to his predecessor, the law firm of Guerra & Farah. That firm was paid an $8,000 per month retainer and Salinas was awarded a $25,000 per month retainer. A source close to the school district confirmed the contract and hiring details and that Sandoval was given the authority to take the action on his own by the newly sworn-in school board members. Not only is Salinas being paid three times what the prior firm was being paid, the negotiated contract pays significantly more than what some of the largest school districts in Texas pay for their general counsel positions.

Obama State Dept Orders Evacuating US Marines to Surrender Weapons ................................................................................................................................ Maddening How Naïve This Administration Is': State Dept Orders Evacuating US Marines Surrender Weapons nation.foxnews.com Video Here> The Marine Corps has clarified what Marines did under State Department orders in Yemen following the evacuation of the U.S. embassy. Crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy, while Marines’ personal weapons were “rendered inoperable” at the airport, and their destroyed components were left behind. The Marine Corps does not dispute the reporting that CENTCOM is outraged over weapons being rendered inoperable. Read the original story below: A senior defense official told Fox News that Marines were directed to turn over their weapons after leaving the U.S. embassy in Yemen. Veteran and Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth was on “The Kelly File” to sound off on the order, which reportedly came from the U.S. State Department. “So, we’re surrendering around the world, we’re surrendering our embassy, and now we’re asking U.S. Marines to surrender their dignity, give up oaths that they made, creeds that they live by, and surrender their rifle,” Hegseth said. Hegseth wondered who thought it was right to have Marines hand over their weapons to Yemeni officials before evacuating the country. “Someone botched the plan,” he said. Hegseth said this is about the signals and optics presented to the world. <Not Enough obama Stupidity To Excerpt But Video Here> .

Yemen Falls Apart: Marines Forced to Destroy Weapons, U.S. Embassy Evacuated, ...................................................................................... Townhall.com ^ \| February 12, 2015 \| Katie Pavlich Despite President Obama claiming in September that U.S. strategy used to combat terrorism in Yemen has been a "success," so successful in fact that it should be used to defeat ISIS, the country continues to fall apart. Late yesterday the United States evacuated the U.S. embassy in Yemen and Marines were bizarrely ordered by the State Department to destroy issued weapons on their way out. ] The British and French also closed and evacuated their embassies yesterday citing safety and security concerns. The Marine Security Force left the American embassy in Yemen for the movement to the airfield as part of the "ordered departure" with only personal weapons. All crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy prior to movement. None of them were 'handed over' in any way to anyone. The destruction of weapons at the embassy and the airport was carried out in accordance with an approved destruction plan. Upon arrival at the airfield, all personal weapons were rendered inoperable in accordance with advance planning. Specifically, each bolt was removed from its weapons body and rendered inoperable by smashing with sledgehammers. The weapons bodies, minus the bolts, were then separately smashed with sledgehammers. All of these destroyed components were left at the airport -- and components were scattered; no usable weapon was taken from any Marine at Sana'a airport. To be clear: No Marine handed a weapon to a Houthi, or had one taken from him. President of Concerned Veterans of America Pete Hegseth discussed the situation last night on The Kelly File. "We’re surrendering around the world, we’re surrendering our embassy, and now we’re asking U.S. Marines to surrender their dignity, give up oaths that they made, creeds that they live by, and surrender their rifle," Hegseth said. UPDATE: #Marine Corps says Marines’ weapons were “rendered inoperable” during #Yemen evacuation. #KellyFile— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) February 12, 2015 Iranian backed rebels, otherwise known as Islamic terrorist Houthis, reportedly took over diplomatic vehicles as personnel fled the country. Yemen rebels seized U.S. Embassy vehicles in the capital of Sanaa on Wednesday as diplomats fled the country and several foreign embassies closed amid deteriorating security conditions. More than 25 vehicles were taken by Houthi rebels after Americans departed the city's airport, airport officials told the Associated Press. The Marine Corps said security personnel destroyed their personal weapons before boarding a commercial flight out of Yemen. In southern Yemen, al Qaeda fighters took over a Yemeni government military base. Yemeni military officials say al-Qaida militants have seized control of an important army base in the south following clashes with soldiers. The officials say at least four troops and four militants died in the fighting and that at least 15 soldiers were taken hostage. The base is home to Yemen's 19th Infantry Brigade and is located in the Baihan area in southern Shabwa province. Further, ISIS has made it's way into the country. I'll leave you with a flashback of President Obama's own words on the Yemen "success" story. From September 2014: Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. And any time we take military action, there are risks involved –- especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order.
