Still Report #477 - New Secret Deal for More Immigrants
Yesterday, another 2000 page bill going thru Congress was released to the public – at 2 am! And guess when it is to be voted on? According to WorldNetDaily, the vote is tonight! Thursday night, Dec. 17. According to WND writer Leo Hohmann who cites anonymous Congressional sources, the new 2000 pager which almost no one will have time to read, is called the Omnibus Spending Bill. Inserted into the bill at the last minute was a secret deal to quadruple the number of controversial H-2B visas. These visas bring in unskilled workers to take away good jobs for American middle class workers. Who benefits? The rich guys club. The bill was sponsored by a strange combination of outgoing Democrat senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, and, of course, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It will allow a quarter of a million foreign workers into the U.S. each year to work in construction, farming, hotel services, trucking, food processing, etc. According to the WND article: “The bill also includes funding for all of President Obama’s foreign refugee resettlement program….” This program will cost $1.6 billion dollars and: “… bring in another 85,000 refugees this year, many of them from jihadist hotbeds like Syria, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan.” This flies in the face of a new Pew Research poll which shows that 83% of voters want immigration levels frozen. According to the Economic Policy Institute, there are currently 6 unemployed construction workers for each job opening. In a letter to the chairs of the Senate appropriations committee, the Senate’s voice of truth, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama ripped the measure: “At a time when the civilian labor force participation rate in the U.S. is approximately 62.4%, now is not the time to advance legislation further depressing wages and employment for U.S. workers….” In a statement released yesterday, Sen. Sessions said that the Omnibus Bill scheduled to be voted on tonight: “… approves – without conditions – the president’s request for increased refugee admissions, allowing him to bring in as many refugees as he wants, from anywhere he wants, and then allow them to access unlimited amounts of welfare and entitlements at taxpayer expense.” “This will ensure that at least 170,000 green card, refugee and asylum approvals are issued to migrants from Muslim countries over just the next 12 months.” I’m Still reporting from Washington. Good day.
Good Sunday morning to you, I’m Still reporting from Washington.
Moscow will pay off the balance of the debt inherited from the old Soviet Union days this year, according to a report on Friday in the Russian newspaper, Izvestia.
The final Russian state debt is owed not to banks, but to Bosnia and Herzegovina. $125.2 billion is still owed to those nations as part of an agreement after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
A source inside the Russian Finance Ministry told Izvestia:
“The agreement has taken a long time to get ready, a preliminary agreement has been signed. The final version just needs signing, it’s a matter of a few months.”
This final state debt of Russia will be paid off within 45 days after the final signing.
Russia paid off a $60 billion final debt to what’s known as the Paris Club – a group of 19 creditors, mostly in the Western bloc, including the US and the UK, in 2006 – 9 years ahead of schedule.
According to an RT report:
“When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the newly formed Russian Federation inherited a growing external debt of over $66 billion with barely a few billion dollars in net gold and foreign exchange reserves.”
What does this mean? Has monetary reform broken out in Russia? It would make common sense, why borrow from banks when you can keep a balanced budget and print sufficient money to keep the economy humming.
But is that the case? Another report two days earlier sheds additional light on the subject.
On Feb. 15, Reuters reported that the Russian central bank is worried that some regions of Russia – similar to the states in the US – are borrowing from private banks.
Central bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina told the upper house of the Russian parliament on Wednesday, according to Reuters:
“… that the central bank was in favour of replacing the regions' debt to banks with loans from the state budget.”
It is difficult to be sure from these skimpy reports, but it appears that Russia has gone totally rogue economically speaking and is no longer allowing the state to borrow from private banks and is even now encouraging their individual regions to not do so.
Could it be that this is the real reason that the Clinton/John McCain/Lindsey Graham axis is pushing war with Russia?
Well, I’d like a better understanding of what Russia is doing economically. So, this to Mr. Putin, you are welcome to do a Skype interview on this channel. Please consider this your formal invitation.

As Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers continue their steady decline, some of her biggest supporters in years past for the Clinton Foundation are running for the exits.
Five of the giant corporate sponsors of last year’s annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative have backed out of this year’s meeting.
The meeting will take place next weekend without the support of Samsung, ExxonMobile, accounting firm Price-Waterhouse-Coopers, and big banks Deutsche Bank, and the 4th largest bank, the British banking conglomerate HSBC.
Hewlett-Packard, which just announced another major round of layoffs, will end its cash donations and provide an in-kind contribution only to the meeting. Monsanto has cut back its donation. Dow Chemical’s name is also missing from this year’s donor list.
Politicians worldwide are jumping ship as well. Last year’s event brought 8 national leaders, kings, presidents and prime ministers. This year, only leaders from Columbia and Liberia will be attending.
Even prominent Obama administration officials have abandoned this year’s event.
Big corporate names still supporting the Clinton’s event are Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, clothes retailer – Gap; Barclays Bank, Coke, Proctor & Gamble, and Cisco.
As one commentator put it:
“The karma bus has stopped at the Clinton’s doorstep!”

Good morning, I’m still reporting on Crooked Clinton
SR #1202 -Hillary Clinton Skips Her $100,000-a-plate Lunch in NC -Hillary Clinton Jail Prison
While Donald Trump blew through North Carolina yesterday with two standing-room-only rallies brimming with cheering crowds; Hillary Clinton had to postpone a – catch this – a $100,000 per plate luncheon fundraising event in a private home in Chapel Hill.
Your $100,000 got you a “chair reception with Hillary”. Wow! Does that mean you get to sit besides the great one for a couple of minutes?
For $33,000 you got a “host reception with Hillary”. Perhaps you got to talk to the host, but not the great one.
Or, a $5,000 check got you preferred seating, and then there was peon class entry. If all you could put up was a measly $2,700 you got a slice of pizza and were allowed to peak in the windows.
It couldn’t come at a worse time for the Clinton Crime Syndicate as even among THE most hard-cord Democratic of polls – taken by Elon University - Clinton now trails Trump, 44 to 43.
You can just hear the desperation of Elon’s spin on their own poll that most voters felt Trump would be better for rich people, white people and men; while most of those polled believed Clinton would be better for poor people, women and minorities.
Talk about a bizarro election where Clinton has been able to convince a giant swath of the MSM and the academic intelligencia that a Clinton in office again would be better for poor people, women and minorities.
Only if they are likely to vote socialist, communist, or were a death-to-the-U.S.-Constitution, Sharia Law advocate!
So what happened to our brimming-with-health Mrs. Clinton. Was it another health issue? Here was the most recent image of her - this is a frame capture from her midnight statement on last weekend’s New York terror bombing, eh? What’s your general assessment of this woman’s health?
By the way – did you ever wonder if Clinton has a non-contagious version of pneumonia – if it’s non-contagious - how did she catch it?
I wonder what the MSM will be told today about yesterday’s postponement of that $100,000 a plate luncheon? They can’t admit she was too sick to fly – can they?
The truth probably is that Clinton can’t raise a crowd these days unless she pays them $15 an hour to show up. So it’s fair to guess that at this point, very few people with a spare $100,000 would give it to HER.
However, as Clinton’s chances of being elected continue to sink, sales of Hillary-for-prison t-shirts were very brisk at the Trump rally we saw yesterday.

President Obama has miraculously had a change of heart on Britain’s relationship with the US after Thursday’s Brexit vote.
Obama did a little back-peddling over the weekend at the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Silicon Valley.
[insert]
Obama even tried to get out ahead of the worldwide populist stampede towards national sovereignty by admitting for the first time that globalization had challenges ahead.
[insert]
And there you have it. The most important thing to the New World Order crowd is to tie all nations to interlocking global trade agreements. Why? Because they – like the EU – are nothing but sovereignty stealers wrapped up in a pretty poison pill package of so-called “free trade” deals.
However, anyone with some common sense can see that they are nothing but slave trade deals that install one huge trans-national government.
Here’s something to think about: If these deals were really about free trade, why do we need deals at all?
This morning, European financial markets opened down again, but still above Friday’s lows – a typical response to the uncertainties presented by the Brexit exit.

It will be interesting to see what sort of reception President Obama gets the next time he visits the UK – that is, if the new leadership in London would even allow that before Obama’s term expires on January 20th.

Well, well, it turns out to be true after all. Facebook workers routinely suppress news stories that are of interest to the conservative community.
The workers, known ironically as “news curators” inside the company, manipulated the “trending” news section in other ways as well, such as injecting stories that were not actually trending into the trending section to try to pump up their popularity.
Curators wore also forbidden to include any negative news about Facebook itself in the trending section.

FBI Director James Comey has been touted for many months by nearly 100% of the mainstream media as a man of impeccable reputation. Someone who will uphold the rule of law. That all came crashing down less than 48 hours ago.
Comey’s roots to President Obama and the Clintons are deep. Comey took his law degree at the Univ. of Chicago – the place where Obama later taught.
From 1987 to 1993, Comey served under Rudy Giuliani in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York where he helped prosecute the Gambino crime family.
In 1996, Comey was selected as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee, where, after months of investigations, both Clintons were found innocent of wrong-doing.
On President Bill Clinton’s last day in office, Jan. 20, 2001, he pardoned 450 people, including criminals who had made payments for him to do so – a sort of lovely parting gift for the outgoing POTUS.
After taking charge of the subsequent investigation of what was then called PardonGate. Again, Comey found no illegality and exonerated the Clintons, despite clear evidence of bribery and despite President Carter calling the pardons, “disgraceful.”
Despite that, in 2003, Comey was then appointed as Deputy Attorney General by President George W. Bush.
The next year he butted heads with the Bush administration when he refused to certify a proposed NSA initiative to secretly wiretap domestic terror suspects.
This led to a head-to-head confrontation with Bush in the White House where Comey threatened to resign unless changes to the program were made.
President Bush gave in and Comey remained for another year before moving on in 2005, to become a Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin, the nation’s largest defense contractor.
While still at Lockheed Martin, in May 2007, Comey testified against the Bush administration in Senate Judiciary hearings over the firings of several U.S. Attorneys who had been appointed by President Clinton.
Comey testified that he believed the firings were unwarranted and very troubling:
“The Department of Justice …. [and] U.S. attorneys are political appointees of the President. But once they take those jobs and run this institution, it’s very important that …. They … be seen as the good guys, and not as either this administration or that administration.”
Two years later, on May 13, 2009, Politico reported that Comey had made the short list of new president, Barack Obama, as a Supreme Court nominee to replace retiring justice David Souter.
When Sonia Sotomayor was selected instead, because Comey was viewed as not being liberal enough; he became chief counsel at the Bridgewater Hedge Fund.
However, in 2013, Comey signed an amicus brief submitted to the Supreme Court supporting same-sex marriage.
Two months later, in May 2013, President Obama announced his appointment as the 7th Director of the FBI.
Last night on Bill O’Reilly’s show, Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal confirmed that Comey usually supports left-wing Democrats in his decisions, especially the Clintons.

Yesterday’s market action may well prove to be what’s called a “dead cat bounce”. In other words, after a big drop, the market always bounces a little bit before continuing down.
Well, this morning, markets in Europe are plunging again. The British, French, and German markets are all down by more than 3% by 6 am eastern. If the DOW were to follow suit, that would be the equivalent of a 500 point decline coming for today. Not good.
In France today, socialist President François Hollande announced that France was already in a state of “economic and social emergency.” He also said that rampaging fears about the worsening financial situation in Germany could topple the entire Eurozone.
Unemployment in France has surged to an 18-year high of 10.6%. In Germany, industrial production growth has slipped to 0%.
France seems to be sticking to the “inclusive” model, firmly burying there socialist-inclusive heads in the sand and hoping for the best.
President Hollande will now pay 2,000 Euros to any firm that employs a young, unemployed person for at least 6 months. However, Hollande reassured voters that France’s 35-hour work week is not on the table – just yet.
In Germany, the “head burying” continues apace, as 40 of her 256 Christian Democratic Union (CDU) MPs sent her a letter demanding change to her liberal refugee policy.
“We are on the verge of our country being overwhelmed.”
On the verge? They took in 1.1 million migrants last year – that’s 1 and a half percent of the entire population – a population that has been relatively stable for years. And guess what; there is a minimum of another one million enroute and two more million queued up on the Turkish border.
You can talk about lagging production and consumer confidence all you want to divert attention, but migrants are the central problem, and will be for years to come now. All nations had better face up to that problem – including the United States.
