Hungary Demands EU Explain ‘Prepaid Bank Cards For Migrants’ Scheme

See the source image

By Dan Lyman

Hungarian officials want an explanation from the European Commission regarding a scheme to provide prepaid bank cards to thousands of migrants currently pushing their way into Europe.

Infowars Europe was one of the first English-language media outlets to report revelations emerging from the Balkans, where shopkeepers and law enforcement officers claimed that migrants amassing in Bosnia were using nameless bank cards embossed with MasterCard, UNHCR, and EU logos.

Those assertions were later reinforced by Austrian intelligence officials in statements provided to Kronen Zeitung last week.

The Hungarian goverment has apparently taken notice of these reports and is now demanding answers, contending that the program may be facilitating funding for terrorism.

“The ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat parties have called on the European Commission to explain the reasoning behind prepaid debit cards issued to migrants,” the ruling coalition announced via state media outlet About Hungary.

“Earlier this week, Lajos Kósa, head of parliament’s defence and law enforcement committee, cited recent reports surrounding tens of thousands of prepaid debit cards made available to migrants by the European Commission and the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR.”

Coalition spokesman István Hollik says, “the EC should explain the origins of the cards, the amounts deposited on them, and the reasons why the scheme was kept in secret.”

“The cards are said to be funded by moneys from the EU, the UN and US financier George Soros . . . raising the question whether member states have agreed to a scheme like that.”

In our original report, we detailed Soros’ likely ties to the scheme upon discovery of a 2017 MasterCard press release publicizing the launch of a partnership program with Soros called “Humanity Ventures,” which aimed to “catalyze and accelerate economic and social development for vulnerable communities around the world, especially refugees and migrants.”

“George Soros announced that he is earmarking up to $500 million for private investments that will improve capacity to address the challenges that migrants, including refugees, and their host communities face around the world. Humanity Ventures would be part of that initiative,” Mastercard revealed in the release.

“Bank cards are also evidence of how the EU is destroying European culture?” tweeted Montenegran TV director Ninoslav Vucetic, including an image of the type of card aforementioned. “Inviting them with money to cause violence? Who gives migrants such a bank card in order to access cash, without the first and last names?”

ACTING AG WHITAKER: ‘SPECIAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED’ TO INVESTIGATE CLINTON FOUNDATION

Acting AG Whitaker: 'Special Counsel is Required' To Investigate Clinton Foundation

“It’s very interesting to watch the Clinton camp try to explain away these meetings.”

By Michael W. Chapman

Matthew Whitaker, the acting attorney general of the United States and a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, said in a 2016 interview that there is enough evidence “in the public domain” to warrant the appointment of a “special prosecutor” to investigate the Clinton Foundation. He added that the Foundation was “clearly a pay-to-play situation” where if you gave money to the Foundation, you got “preferential treatment” at the State Department, which was headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2013.

Hillary Clinton’s emailing of classified documents through her private computer server was a “serious” problem, but the “real ballgame” is “where Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment,” said Whitaker in an Aug. 25, 2016 interview with Breitbart News Daily.

“We need somebody that is independent to look at these facts,” he said. “I was concerned when I heard that the Attorney General [Loretta Lynch in 2016] and the politicals at the Department of Justice had determined not to open an investigation into what is clearly a pay-to-play situation where, if you gave money to the Clinton Foundation, you got preferential treatment, if you had business from the State Department.”

“Based on what I’ve seen, that’s in the public domain currently, I think there’s enough to have a special prosecutor that can look into this, that can have the ability to subpoena documents and interview witnesses and do the kind of things and have the independence separate from this administration,” said Whitaker, the former chief of staff to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“There is so much here, so much smoke, so many unanswered questions,” he said.

Towards the end of the interview, Whitaker said, “I’ve always thought the Clinton Foundation is a very sophisticated way to get around the campaign finance laws and to allow for unlimited donations and an ability to curry favor with a presidential candidate that, quite frankly, is unprecedented in the history of our country.”

Matthew Whitaker was named the acting attorney general of the United States on Nov. 7 by President Donald Trump. Between 2004 and 2009, Whitaker was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa. Whitaker is married and has three children.

Sweden’s right-wing AfS party censored by YouTube for wanting to deport 2,000 Islamists

By   

A video of the Alternative for Sweden (AfS) party, was taken down by YouTube for ‘hate speech’. Youtube has now even threatened to remove the party’s entire user account, Sweden’s Fria Tider reports.

It was during Monday evening that the AfS’s party leader, Gustav Kasselstrand, published a video of the weekend’s Islamic terrorist attack in Paris, where one person was killed and several were injured.

Kasselstrand said, among other things, that he wants to expel all 2,000 Islamists. In just a few hours, the movie received thousands of views. But now YouTube has taken down the video, calling it “hate speech”.

“I see YouTube’s censorship and allegations of hate speech as a pure ‘quality stamp’ of my message. Nevertheless, it is problematic that, as a party leader for a fast-growing party in Sweden, I cannot convey my views on social media”, says Gustav Kasselstrand about the removed film.

Kasselstrand continues:

“The monopoly of social media giants gives private companies control over freedom of expression in social media, a platform that is so important that it can be seen as the equivalent of our time like the ancient forum.”

It is not the first time Kasselstrand was censored. Even his podcast “The cooked frog” was closed down last year from Soundcloud on arbitrary grounds, he says.

Bank Stocks Dive After Maxine Waters Threatens End To Regulation-Rollback

By Tyler Durden

US financials stocks have tumbled from opening higher after Rep. Maxine Waters – soon to to take over the powerful House Financial Services Committee when the new Congress convenes in January – laid down the law on what will and won’t happen under Democrat rule.

“Make no mistake, come January, in this committee the days of this committee weakening regulations and putting our economy once again at risk of another financial crisis will come to an end,” Waters said.

After the squeeze, it’s been one-way street lower since the Dems took the House…

UN Migration Pact encourages millions of migrants to come and claim benefits – German AfD leader

By   

The co-leader of opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has lashed out at the German government and their stance on the UN Global Compact on Migration. He said his party he urges the government not to sign the document as it isn’t in the interest of the German people. 

“If this Global Compact is just a political declaration, which has no consequences for the national parliaments and the law then why are we seeing resistance from everywhere on the rise against it, all of a sudden?” Gauland says. According to the AfD leader, “The interests of the receiving society are left completely unmentioned” and “the document will supersede national law”. “We pledge to fulfil the goals mentioned in the global pact and obligations in accordance to our vision and our guiding principles”, it is so written there. The wording alone “we pledge” appears dozens of times in the paper, Gauland continues. He adds that the document can lead to migrants being encouraged to come and claim benefits as a human right. “For example we pledge, that all migrants notwithstanding their migration status are able to exercise their human rights through a safe entry to standard benefits. Less sensitive people call this migration into the social benefits systems. “So the Federal Government wants to pledge itself to this. But of course non-binding. Non-binding obligations. Dear ladies and gentlemen, wooden steal. Dear ladies and gentlemen on the government bench: How stupid do you actually think we all are and your voters out there?” Later Gauland says the migration pact will undermine sovereignty and lead to a renewed influx of migrants: “The milestone this pact talks about lies in the way of the betrayal of sovereignty of our nation. Millions of people from crisis regions are encouraged to hit the trail. “Left dreamers and globalist elites want to secretly transform our country from a national state into a settlement region.

Breaking Report: Broward County Deputy Says Civil Rights Attorneys Were Handing Out Absentee Ballots to Inmates AFTER ELECTION? (Update)

Capture

By Jim Hoft

A Broward County Sheriff’s deputy says attorneys were collecting ballots AFTER the election last Tuesday.
We are looking into this—

Friday Novemeber 9, 2018 5:30pm — Annie Marie Delgado, President of TrumpTeam Florida 2020, conference called Ann Vandersteel with a a current DOJ employee and was a former high ranking Broward County law enforcement officer. He stated at 7:00 AM that same morning he received a call from a deputy in the Broward County jail. The Deputy said there was “corruption going on inside the jail and that he had never seen anything like it.”

Six months prior to this the Supervisor of Elections allowed non-felon inmates awaiting trial in jail to register to vote. This did not occur due to the security risk it posed if civilians were allowed to walk through the jail doing the voter registration and absentee ballot requests.

* It was previously reported that mass murdered Nikolas Cruz was registered to vote from jail in Broward County

The Broward County Deputy explained that on Thursday November 8, 2018, after the midterm election, absentee ballots were delivered to the jail for the inmates and the deputies were told to pass them out.

Civil rights attorneys arrived on last Thursday and demanded to see the inmates. They were not the inmates personal attorneys of record. The attorneys wanted to know if the inmates had received their absentee ballots in the mail. As these attorneys were not the inmates’ attorneys of record, Sheriff Scott Israel should not have granted them access to the inmates. Protocol would have the attorneys sign into the jail, yet there is no record.

Ballots stacked up outside the elections headquarters (By Ann Vandersrteel)

The Deputy stated that the civil rights attorneys providedg the inmates with the narrative that they never received their absentee ballot. The liberal attorneys said the prisoners were denied the right to vote and they were to file a grievance with the deputies at the jail.

Questions to ask the Supervisor of Elections, Brenda Snipes, and local Broward County authorities:
1. All of the incoming and outgoing mail is X-rayed at the Broward jail. Does the Broward County jail show evidence of absentee ballots sent and returned?

2. How many ballots were delivered to the Broward County jail and when were they delivered?

3. If the inmates filled out these absentee ballots after the election ended, will they be counted as provisional ballots like military and oversees ballots? With 6000 inmates and approximately 5000 currently non-felons waiting sentencing, that would be a considerable number of votes.

4. Will a class action civil rights lawsuit be filed against the Supervisor of Elections and the Broward County Sheriff for voter suppression?

** The Gateway Pundit contacted the Broward County Sheriff’s office for comment.

The Broward County Public Information Officer told The Gateway Pundit their office acts as the courier between the local Supervisor of Elections and inmates. The practice of registering inmates for elections is not uncommon in Broward County or in other US jails. Jails and prisons are different — the rights of inmates in jails are different than inmates in prison who lose their rights. She said it was standard practice. She referred us to the local SOE for further comment.

We are still collecting information on the absentee ballot actions after the election.

UPDATE—

Parkland High School shooter, Nikolas Cruz was registered to vote while in jail. That would have to be done by a SOE employee and approved by Sheriff Scott Israel.

  • Nikolas Cruz, the young man who gunned down 17 students and staff at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County, was registered to vote. How is this possible? He is in solitary confinement 23 out of 24 hours / day. There are cameras that record anyone coming or going from his cell. Who is the SOE employee that registered him to vote?
  • We need to see the voter registration card for Nikolas Cruz. Did he sign it? Was the form hand filled out?
  • How many absentee ballots were sent to the Broward County Jail at 555 SE 1st Avenue?
  • What date did the SOE send the absentee ballots?
  • How many people (inmates) are registered to vote at the 555 SE 1st Avenue (Broward Country Jail) address?
  • Did the attorneys sign in to the jail and can we subpoena the jail video server to see activity on Thursday November 8, 2018?

This story is developing.

Election Fraud Expert: Broward County’s Brenda Snipes ‘Found Ballots’ in 2012 Too

There is “clearly an organized effort to manipulate and alter outcomes.”

Breitbart – NOVEMBER 13, 2018

Broward County, Florida election official Brenda Snipes — who is continuing to find new ballots in the recent statewide midterm elections for Governor and the U.S. Senate — was previously accused of finding ballots after an election in 2012.

Government Accountability Insititute (GAI) research director Eric Eggers exclusively told SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight‘s Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour that Snipes allegedly “found ballots” following an election in 2012.
Eggers said:

Eggers said there is “clearly an organized effort to manipulate and alter outcomes,” noting that in Miami-Dade County, about 108 provisional ballots were eliminated in the midterm election because they were from individuals who had voted twice.

In a recent piece for Breitbart News, Eggers reviewed Snipes’ history of allowing illegal aliens and felons to vote in elections in Broward County, along with her destroying of ballots.

‘They were starting to learn German in Paris before US came along’ – Trump taunts Macron

'They were starting to learn German in Paris before US came along' – Trump taunts Macron

President Trump continued his verbal spat with French leader Emmanuel Macron, taunting the French leader for his country’s losses to Germany in two world wars, and suggesting that Europe needs the US as a saviour.

After returning from Armistice Day commemorations in Paris over the weekend, Trump took to Twitter on Monday to savage the US’ European allies for failing to meet their defense spending targets and leaving America to foot much of NATO’s bill. On Tuesday, the president vented his frustrations again.

“Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia,” Trump tweeted.

In a radio interview a week before the commemorations in Paris, Macron called for the establishment of an EU army that can defend the continent “without relying only on the United States.”

While Macron once enjoyed a close bond with president Trump, the leaders’ relationship has soured as of late. In a speech on Sunday, Macron emphatically denounced Trump’s brand of nationalism, comparing it to the forces that plunged Europe into conflict in the 20th Century.

“Old demons are resurfacing,” the French president warned. “History sometimes threatens to take its tragic course again and compromise our hope of peace. Let us vow to prioritise peace over everything.”

Macron also stuck close to German Chancellor Angela Merkel – herself a vocal Trump critic – throughout the weekend, with the pair posing in an embrace at the unveiling of a plaque near Compiegne, where Germany officially surrendered 100 years previously.

Whether Trump’s Tuesday tweet was meant as a jibe at Merkel and Macron’s closeness or not is unclear, but the president’s insistence that Europe pays its NATO dues is a call that he has voiced since he hit the campaign trail three years ago.

At present, only five NATO member states – the US, UK, Greece, Estonia, and Poland – allocate two percent of their GDP to defense spending, a requirement for membership. In 2017, the US spent $686 billion on defense, over double the expenditure of all 28 other states combined.

While Macron is now in Trump’s firing line over defense spending, the US president had singled out Germany in the runup to a NATO summit in Brussels in July. As well as savaging Merkel’s government for spending just over 1.2 percent of its GDP on defense, Trump said that Germany is “totally captive to Russia,” referring to its reliance on Russian gas.

While the US underwrites most of Europe’s defense bill, more EU leaders than Macron have expressed discomfort at relying on Trump in recent months. Liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt – a long-time advocate for a federal Europe – echoed Macron’s comments on Saturday, when he tweeted that Europe cannot be “unprepared for the America First Policy.”

The idea of an integrated EU army might make Macron and Merkel excited, but it has been criticized by more people than just Trump. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg responded to Macron’s radio interview by warning the French president not to take over NATO’s job.

“Two World Wars and a Cold War taught us the importance of doing things together,” he said at a conference in Berlin on Monday. “The reality is that we need one strong and capable command structure, we can’t divide those resources in two.”
