Shakedown: Democrats in DOJ Helping to Launder Terrorist Money and Mexican Drug Cartel Money wnd.com "HSBC bank auditors had told him in 2009 that senior managers and compliance officers in New York were fully aware the London-headquartered bank was engaged in a criminal scheme to launder money internationally for Mexican drug cartels and Middle Eastern terrorists. “The auditors told me in 2009 that nobody in the bank was going to go to jail and that HSBC had already put aside $2 billion in reserves to pay the fine they somehow had reason to suspect back then that the Department of Justice would demand to settle the case.” "

Marie Harf Wrote Thesis on How Conservative Support for Israel Complicates U.S. Foreign Policy ..................................................................... dailycaller.com ^ \| 2/19/15 \| Patrick Howley PHOTO: Marie Harf, Twitter Marie Harf Wrote Thesis on How Conservative Support for Israel Complicates US Foreign Policy Harf generated controversy this week for saying that the way to combat terrorists like ISIS is to help get them jobs. “But we cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out of this war,” Harf said on Chris Matthews’ MSNBC program. “We need, in the longer term, medium and longer term, to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs.” Harf later doubled down on her remarks, saying that her view is simply too nuanced for media commentators to ingest. “Longer term, we cannot kill every terrorist around the world, nor should we try,” Harf told CNN. “How do you get at the root causes of this? Look, it might be too nuanced an argument for some, like I’ve seen over the past 24 hours some of the commentary out there, but it’s really the smart way that Democrats, Republicans, military commanders, our partners in the Arab world think we need to combat this.” Harf’s comments have been widely mocked through the #JobsForISIS Twitter hasthta

Scott Walker, Marie Harf, and a College ‘Education’-training in an ideology vs an education ............................................................................................... FrontPage Magazine ^ \| February 20, 2015 \| Jack Kerwick That Wisconsin Governor and GOP presidential hopeful Scott Walker never graduated from college renders him ineligible for the office of the presidency. Or so say such critics as Howard Dean when they suggest that Walker is insufficiently educated for the position. Though there are always exceptions, the painful truth of the matter is that the contemporary academic world has long since decided against supplying students with an education into the traditions of Western civilization. Instead, it has made up its mind to provide them with training in an ideology, namely, the prevailing leftist ideology better known as “Political Correctness” (PC). Between “training” and an “education” there is a world of difference. Those who are trained in an ideology will master all of the stock phrases, clichés, and conventionalities of that ideology; but they will master nothing else. For example, you can bet the bank that it will be axiomatic to many—most—college students that such things as “racism,” “sexism,” “homophobia,” “imperialism,” “colonialism,” and “classism” are unmitigated evils. For this reason, it’s just as much a sure bet that these same students couldn’t so much as begin to formulate an argument for any of these beliefs—or for any others, for that matter. Training in an ideology is training in propositions that are treated as either self-evident or as following from self-evident propositions. The ideology is dogma. However, because an ideology is an abstraction of reality—a Readers’ Digest version of it, so to speak—it is, at best, a distortion or caricature of the real world. And the ideology that reigns on today’s campus is a distortion—a gross distortion—of “the real world” of Western civilization. Unlike their counterparts from yesteryear, the image of Western civilization that’s promoted in many liberal arts and humanities departments throughout the country has all of the depth of a puddle. The West has been reduced to an uninterrupted exercise of villainy begetting villainy, its unprecedented theological, philosophical, and literary achievements summarily dismissed as the function of “white male privilege.” The evils for which human beings the planet over have been guilty from since time out of mind are presented as being unique to the West—when in fact it is typically the case that the West is unique only insofar as it alone among the peoples of the world has gone to great lengths to stamp out these evils. Yet while the PC ideology that’s being forced upon contemporary students is at once false and socially destructive, the point here is that, content notwithstanding, college students should not be trained in any ideology. To replace education with training in an ideology is to insure that students’ minds languish in a poverty of imagination, a state of affairs that at once results from and contributes to their alienation from their own civilization. In short, training in an ideology denies students precisely those resources that they need in order to think. As I write this, and as his Democratic opponents pounce on Scott Walker for his lack of a college “education,” Marie Harf, the deputy spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, has just said that a “lack of opportunity for jobs” is among “the root causes” that account for the rise of such “extremist” groups as the now notorious “Islamic State.” In reply to the fury of incredulous responses that her remarks invited, Harf commented that hers “might be too nuanced of an argument [.]” This, though, is exactly the problem: her argument is not nuanced. It’s all too simple. It’s formulaic. Actually, Harf hasn’t made an argument at all. She wouldn’t think to make one, and may not even know how to do so. And this is because, for all of her college degrees, Harf, like her boss, Barack Obama, (evidently) sorely lacks an education. She does, however, like millions of American college students, have training in an ideology.
