THE MOVIE THE CLINTONS WERE ABLE TO NOT LET ANYBODY SEE! "The Path to 9/11”
The movie “The Path to 9/11” was one of the few movies that that was only shown one time and then Disney was convinced by BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON to never show it again. The link below will tell you the story. Very interesting. This really puts the Clintons in bad light.
Please pass it on.

THE DAY HILLARY MET WITH GEORGE SOROS
I WAS LISTENING TO THE SNITT RADIO SHOW A FEW DAYS AGO, AND HE TALKED ABOUT THE MEETING THAT HILLARY HAD WITH GEORGE SOROS. I FIND I find it hard to believe that anyone in our government would meet with George SOROS. THE LINK BELOW HAS A SHORT VIDEO YOU SHOULD WATCH, AND A SUMMARIZATION of her meeting with SOROS. When people attended meeting as you will read in the text, 2 were from the Open Border Society.
DONALD TRUMP IS TRYING TO SEAL OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, IT LOOKS LIKE HILLARY WANTS AN OPEN BORDER POLICY. COULD TWO PEOPLE BE ON THE OPPOSITE END OF THE SPECTRUM on this issue.
Show this one to the people you know who like Hillary.

MAN MADE CLIMATE CHANGE, IS IT REAL? PART 2
If you would rather see the whole article at one time click on the link below. IN ANY CASE HERE IS THE REST OF THE ARTICLE.

And you, your family, and your loved ones risk being the government's sacrificial lambs.
But it doesn't have to be like this.
I found this insanely effective technique I'm going to share with you in a couple of moments – while I was looking for alternative ways of ensuring my own family's survival.
Look: after digging up layer after layer of lies our government has shamelessly been feeding us and uncovering their apocalyptic agenda, I could barely get 2 hours of sleep per night.
I remember having a nightmare where my youngest daughter would come to me holding her teddy-bear in one hand and an empty glass in the other and with big, sad, teary eyes, she'd say: "Daddy, me and Teddy are thirsty. Why is there no water left?"
And all I could do was hold her in my arms and whisper to her ear: "I'll get some right away. Everything's going to be just fine…"
Even though I knew I was telling her a big, fat lie…
There just isn't a worse feeling than knowing you were not able to protect your loved ones, and because of that they're now in a position where they have to suffer.
I felt MAD.
Mad at the butcher government.
But on top of all… MAD at myself.
I was the head of the family. They all counted on my protection.
When I woke up from this nightmare, I swore right then and there that…
My family and my little girl will never have to suffer the grim fate the government planned for them
Now, the next morning I thought that if my family were to survive, I needed my own water supply.
At that time starting a water stockpile seemed to be a good place to start.
So I took a trip to Walmart, and busted almost $500 on a little over a 1 month supply for my family of 4.
However, when I handed my credit card to the cashier, I had this strange feeling…
Like I was giving blood to my arch enemy.
I bought that water anyway, but I decided it was the last time my money would contribute to corporations mammoth profits.
Plus, when I got back home, I ran into another problem.
All that water took up nearly all of the remaining free space from my pantry.
That's when I knew building a water supply wasn't the solution I needed.
I knew I needed something that could provide me and my family an endless supply of water…
So I thought of digging a well.
The idea seemed perfect.
I paid an expert to run a study to determine how deep I had to drill the well in order to make sure I'd never have the problem of running out of water.
The results was discouraging to say the least.
Since I had to drill the well 535 feet below, the whole investment – together with the well digging permits – would have cost me around $10,000.
I simply couldn't afford that much.
But I didn't get discouraged.
And luckily enough, my persistence paid off.
I stumbled upon a story of how people from the Arabian Desert use a weird device that allows them to effectively draw water out of the air.
As you know, water is in the air nearly everywhere on earth. Even in the most parched desert.
But since most of it is in its vaporized form, it doesn't do us any good.
However this device allows people to capture those water vapors, and transform them in their handy liquid state.
Amazing, right?
In fact, it was so powerful, it allowed these people a virtually endless supply of clean drinking water.
It was as though they had their own private, endless spring of water.
I knew I was on to something, so I wanted to find out more about this "magical" mechanism.
As it turns out, there are nothing but stories of success around it.
Even the army is using them – and they're getting up to 450 gallons of clean water a day!!!
The catch?
The military pay anywhere between $18,000 and $30,000 for 1 piece.
But the science behind this device is relatively simple.
It's why the idea of putting one together with my own hands started forming in the back of my mind…
But the more I learnt about it, the more I got excited… the more I got excited, the more frustrating it got.
Because as someone who hasn't held a screwdriver in his hand since finishing high-school, you can imagine I had no idea what to start off with.
Everything I found online seemed to be put together by MIT professors for MIT students.
It was all too academic and complex for me to comprehend.
I realized I was going nowhere on my own.
So I did what any other desperate father would do when the safety of his family is in his hands.
I found a part-time inventor and paid him to help me make my own simple, inexpensive and highly efficient endless water device.
The only 2 rules I had for him were simple: I had to make this with my own 2 hands, and he had to show me how without any academic mumbo-jumbo…
This needed to be the ultimate blueprint for the absolute beginner who has zero DIY experience.
We agreed on this deal, and we got to work.
We set up an online video session where he walked me and my daughter… step by step into every single phase of the project…
Every time we made a mistake, he patiently would tell us about it and help us correct it.
The end result was nothing short of amazing.
In a little over 60 minutes, with the help of my daughter, and without spend more than a couple hundred bucks – almost half of which went on purchasing a dehumidifier I could have gotten for free - I managed to create my own water generating device.
All I had to do next is make sure it really did the job – take the humidity out of the air and transform it into pure, crystal clear drinking water.
So I left it on overnight and made sure to check on it the next morning.
Now, as you probably know, the air humidity is normally higher during the day.
So I didn't expect much.
I would have been pleased to get a couple of liters.
You can imagine the wide grin on my face when found out my device had produced almost 1 gallon of water in only a few short hours – and running at probably half its capacity.
It felt like having my personal spring of pure and healthy water right in my living room.
I knew I'd get even more water during the day – which I did; gallons upon gallons of it - i couldn't believe my eyes… and all in less than half a day… and all for a measly 9c for every hour my water apparatus was plugged in.
I don't know about you – but too me, this was a small price to pay.
I mean, if you add that up, the 4 gallons of water I produced that day only cost me 99c.
Considering I would have had to pay at least $20 to get that much water from the supermarket, those extra few cents on the electricity bill was a compromise I was more than willing to make.
After all, I was actually saving money.
The next week, I jumped in my car and drove over to my brother's.
When I told him about my new "gadget" he got so excited, he insisted I showed him how to make one for his own family right then.
Now, since I didn't have my recorded expert video session on me then, I was a little reluctant.
The fact that just like me, my brother isn't exactly what you'd call "handy" didn't help either.
However, he was so fired up then, it was hard for me to say "no".
So we took a trip to the nearest hardware store, bought everything we needed and got to work.
And even though it took us the whole afternoon, I was able to recreate my water generating device without an expert looking over my shoulder.
It was like all the information I needed was downloaded in my brain when I first built it for myself.
Two days later I get a phone call.
It was my brother.
"Man, you've outdone yourself this time. This is like having Niagara Falls in my living room. Everyone should have one of these in their own home."
He was right.
My system needed to be made available to every God-loving, hard-working American.
So I packaged the whole material: the "look over my shoulder" video session where an expert shows you how to make your own water generating device… along with the step by step written instructions that go along with it…
And called it the Water Revolution system.
If me and my daughter were able to use these blueprints and manage to get an endless water-supply…
If I was able to actually show my brother how to replicate my success, without any outside expertise…
Then this is probably the simplest, easiest A to Z layout ANYONE can use to get their own endless water supply.
Not only will this system help you break loose of the corporation chains and save you hundreds – perhaps thousands of dollars…
But most of all… it will guarantee you and your family never end up on the wrong side of our government's criminal agenda.
It will give you the peace of mind you deserve.
All you need to do is push the "play" button once and watch this straightforward video…
You'll be stunned at how easy and quick it is to set up your very own spring of fresh, pure, clean water right in your home…
And at how much water you're going to get out of it.
Plus, if you try out the Water Revolution system today, you'll also get 2 very important bonuses.
These bonuses are FREE, and you won't find them anywhere else.
Bonus #1: Accelerated Food Growing System
Since the water shortage will also hit hard in America's food supply, I want to give you a "cheat code" for growing your own food.
This bonus contains another video, where you'll see how to build your own greenhouse so you can grow food year-round.
One of the biggest assets of a greenhouse is it can help you make serious amounts of money…
By selling those extra vegetables you produce that aren't typically available during the winter in your area.
Bonus #2: Emergency Water – How To Stay Hydrated in the Wilderness
Listen… it's hard to admit this, but you always have to take into account the fact that if a crisis strikes, you might be forced to abandon your home.
This bonus contains an insanely effective and easy to use technique to help you quench your thirst when in a wilderness survival situation.
Plus, you'll also discover a simple tweak you can apply to it that will help you greatly increase your water harvest.
You'll get these 2 bonuses absolutely free, if you test my Water Revolution system today.
By now, I'm sure you're wondering how much you have to invest to try my system now
When I first decided I wanted to make this available to the wide public, I set up a few meetings with some of those fancy publishers.
They said they'd help me make share my program with everyone out there.
However, all they cared about was how to turn my system into their best pay-check yet.
Someone even offered me $25,000 for my patent rights… but they wanted to put a price-tag of over $1,000 for one unit.
Naturally, I told them to beat it…
Water Revolution was born from the idea that it needed to be affordable for anyone…
There was one honest guy however, who opened my eyes to another possibility.
Share my system over the internet – which is what I'm doing today.
So far I paid more than I'd like to admit on hosting services and on advertisements…
That I don't even expect to cover my investment.
But if I end up saving the lives of some true American patriots – like yourself – I know it will be well worth the price.
Now let me ask you this: how much is it worth to you to know that your family's health, liberty and wellbeing are ensured shielded against the coming crisis?
And how will you feel one year from now… when America's public water supply will collapse, and water prices will skyrocket… knowing you could have "opted out" of paying hundreds of dollars on a few gallons of water…
But choose not to?
My Water Revolution program will show you how to set up your own system that will generate you an endless supply of water for kingdom come – in as little as a couple of hours.
You've seen how greedy agencies would have asked $1,000 for the exact same material I'm putting on the table right now.
But you know I'm not going to ask you that much – even though deep down, you too realize it's worth at least that.
It's not going to cost you $500 either.
In fact, it's not going to cost you the $137 my accountant says should be the absolute minimum I should offer this program for… in order to have any chances of getting back my investment.
Instead, to make sure this program goes to as many people as possible – and as long as I can afford keeping this video online – I'll let you have the program for only $39!
And remember: the money you're spending today, is money that keeps this video online, so more God-loving Americans can have a chance of surviving the coming water crisis!
The only way you can contribute my cause is to Click the Add to Cart button now.
I have no idea how long I'm going to be able to keep this page up – so you need to take action immediately.
Plus, because I want you to feel 100% confident about grabbing my Water Revolution system today, I want to offer you…
My full 60 days, no questions asked money back guarantee!
Simply click the Add to Cart button below and claim your copy of the Water Revolution…
Watch the short video and try to really absorb the information shown there…
Put it to use!
If you aren't 100% satisfied at the amount of water you're getting from the device…. If you don't believe with all your heart that using it will not only save you and your family hundreds – perhaps thousands of dollars on your water bill…
But will keep them alive during America's greatest humanitarian crisis.
All you have to do is simply shoot me an email and I'll refund your tiny investment right away.
No questions asked and we part as friends.
And you even get to keep what you learnt up to that point.
However, I'm sure that once you get to use my system, you'll see how it really pays for itself.
Plus, to sweeten the pot even more, the first 100 people who take action right now receive 365 days UNLIMITED email support.
That means that if somehow you get stuck somewhere on the road to getting your endless water generating device, you can send an email and ask for our help to get you "unstuck".

The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952
This was sent to me in an email and I thought it is a very pertinent law that is uppermost in our minds concerning Syrian immigrants being allowed into our country. Maybe all the states and their governors could stop any Syrians or Muslims to come into their state until the mid east fiasco is finally resolved, which may be years. Send this to your governor and as many congressmen as you can contact by email or letter.
Maybe we can bring some sense back to our situation. And by the way send it to Donald Trump at info@donaldtrump.com. Maybe if enough of us send this to Donald he will use it in his campaign.

When I was Dean of Continuing Education at Ricker College in Northern Maine from 1976 to 1979 The college had recruited a bunch of Iranian students to fill the new dorms they had built during the Vietnam War for students trying to avoid the draft. After that conflict ended, they needed to fill those dorms, thus the Iranians. President Carter had many of them kicked out of the country in 1979. The college lost quite a few of those students. I am not sure I agree with all of this e-mail post, but amazing how the Obama regime can ignore history when it is convenient for them!
Did you read this important bit of information that the MEDIA
would never share with the American Voter..
Subject: FW: Gomer Pyle
"Surprise....SurpriseWell, well, I bet if you asked your Senator or Congressman, they would say they have never heard of this law. And who was the last President who enforced this law? A President and a Democrat.WOW! IT PAYS TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY!It's been law for over 60 years... Interesting Bit of Legislative History - McCarran-Walter Act of 1952Trump was recently severely criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims).The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being “Un-American,” dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist.Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and our (Muslim) president called such a prohibition on immigration 'unconstitutional'.Well, as Gomer Pyle would say, “Surprise, Surprise!”It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions.Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, (the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952) allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by president. Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”The act was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a bunch. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979.It is of note that the act requires that an applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and "attached to the principles of the Constitution.” Since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, all Muslims should be refused immigration.

Hillary is bought and paid for by them, MUSLIMS!
According to the Beaumont newspaper and reports from a couple of Beaumont TV stations this really happened. (January 6, 2016)
Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop yesterday in Beaumont, Texas. Only six people were there to greet her.
Her security detail outnumbered her supporters by quite a bit. She wouldn’t talk, wave to or even acknowledge those there to greet her. As bad as that is, it’s not the real story here.
The real story is who she took a private meeting with. After landing, Clinton headed off to a fundraiser in West Beaumont, where she was greeted by around 150-200 Muslims, most of whom were of Pakistani origin.
The event was held by Pakistani businessman Tahir Javed and Hillary raised approximately $500,000 by pandering to Muslims, making it “one of the top five private fundraisers Clinton has had in this country.”
She’s bought and paid for by them.
Gov. Scott’s undisclosed interest – via First Lady – in Zika mosquito control company
We recently came across this article and thought our readers would like to know. It is all very convoluted, like Fox News say all the time, we report and you decide.
Gov. Scott’s undisclosed interest – via First Lady – in Zika mosquito control company
Filed under A1 TOP STORY, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH{9 COMMENTS}
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has an undisclosed financial interest in a Zika mosquito control company in which his wife, Florida First Lady Ann Scott, owns a multi-million dollar stake through a private investment firm she co-owns.
The company is Mosquito Control Services LLC of Metairie, LA. According to its web site, MCS “is a fully-certified team of mosquito control experts – licensed throughout the Gulf Coast, including Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.”
On June 23, Gov. Scott signed an executive order allocating $26.2 million in state emergency funds for Zika preparedness, including “mosquito surveillance and abatement, training for mosquito control technicians and enhanced laboratory capacity.”
It is not known whether MCS, whose services include monitoring and aerial spraying, stands to benefit from Florida government funds. Company manager Steven Pavlovich holds an active Florida “public health applicator” license with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services through April 2019, but MCS is not a registered state vendor. The Department of Health contracts with two other two mosquito control vendors.
MCS did not respond to two requests for comment.
Ann Scott’s large stake in MCS is via G. Scott Capital Partners, an investment firm that boasts $291 million of client assets. The firm manages several private equity funds and various “family accounts primarily comprised of trusts and family entities,” according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission records.
The Florida Bulldog reported in 2014 that Scott Capital, as it is known online, is operated by a trio of men who once worked at Richard L. Scott Investments, the private equity firm where Gov. Scott made millions for himself and his family putting together big-money investment deals when he was in the private sector.
Scott Capital posts its portfolio online. All nine listed companies are current and former investments of the governor and/or Mrs. Scott, including Mosquito Control Services, described as providing “mosquito abatement services primarily to municipalities.”
The SEC requires investment companies like G. Scott Capital Partners to file periodic disclosure reports. The firm’s most recent report, filed in March, shows that the three-employee, Connecticut-based firm caters to a handful of high net worth individuals – less than 25 – who invest directly and through various pooled investment funds.
A mosquito control investment
The firm’s latest fund is GS MCS, LLC, a Delaware company formed two years ago this month to recapitalize and take control of Mosquito Control Services. The current value of the fund is just under $10 million and the fund has nine beneficial owners, SEC records say. The owners’ names were not disclosed.
The managing director of G. Scott Capital Partners is Gregory D. Scott – no relation to Gov. Scott. He directs the firm’s investments, as he did when he led the private equity group at Richard L. Scott Investments from 2000 to 2012.
Gregory Scott owns 50 to 75 percent of the Delaware holding company that owns 100 percent of G. Scott Capital, according to the SEC. The First Lady owns the rest through the Frances Annette Scott Revocable Trust, which owns Tally 1, a Delaware company that in turn owns 25 to 50 percent of G. Scott Holdings LLC.
Gregory Scott has described Ann Scott, an interior decorator and owner of AS Interiors LLC, as a “passive investor” in G. Scott Capital.
Gov. Scott has not disclosed his ownership interest in his wife’s investments. Florida law, unlike federal law, does not require state public officers to disclose the assets or income of a spouse or minor child.
The governor’s office on Tuesday declined to discuss the matter or make Gov. Scott or the First Lady available for an interview.
The Republican governor, a multimillionaire, puts his personal investments in a “qualified blind trust” that his office has described as being overseen by “an independent financial professional.” Florida public officers who use such a trust to “blind” themselves to the nature of their holdings get in exchange immunity from prohibited conflicts of interest under a law that Gov. Scott signed in 2013.
FloridaBulldog.org has reported, however, that the person overseeing Gov. Scott’s trust is yet another former employee at Richard L. Scott Investments and that the trust has been ineffective in keeping the governor’s assets secret.
When Gov. Scott opened his current blind trust in 2014 – the second of his administration – he was required to disclose the assets he put into it. His current mix of assets is not known, but the Florida Bulldog reported last year that the blind trust has in the past coordinated stock transactions with the First Lady’s trust a family partnership.
The Solantic transfer
When Gov. Scott took office in 2011, he transferred tens of millions of dollars in assets to his wife, including a $62-million investment in the walk-in clinic chain Solantic. Mrs. Scott reportedly sold the family’s stake in Solantic that same year.
Gov. Scott’s transfer of his Solantic shares came amid an uproar about perceived conflicts of interest. Florida ethics laws generally prohibit public officials from having an ownership interest in companies that do business with the state or are subject to state regulation.
In 2013, Gov. Scott had an undisclosed ownership stake in Houston-based Spectra Energy when Florida’s Public Service Commission – five members appointed by Gov. Scott – unanimously approved construction of the controversial $3-billion Sabal Trail natural gas pipeline by a joint venture of Spectra and NextEra Energy, parent of Florida Power & Light.
The governor’s investment in Spectra became known about a year later when he filed a lengthy list of his assets as of Dec. 31, 2013 when he closed his original blind trust and opened a new one while qualifying to run for re-election.
FloridaBulldog.org reported in July 2014 that Gov. Scott’s list included a $53,000 stake in Spectra Energy and a $55,000 stake in DCP Midstream Partners, a natural-gas limited partnership 50 percent owned by Spectra Energy.
The governor’s investments included numerous other oil and gas assets, including a $712,000 stake in Texas-based Energy Transfer and its affiliates and subsidiaries. Through other subsidiaries, giant Energy Transfer owns a 50 percent interest in the Florida Gas Transmission pipeline, which delivers nearly 65 percent of the natural gas consumed in Florida.
Gov. Scott has had other conflicting investments.
FloridaBulldog.org reported in February that in 2012 Scott owned a $210,000 stake in the private equity firm that owned 21st Century Oncology when the all-Republican governing board of taxpayer-supported Broward Health awarded the company an unprecedented 25-year, no-bid contract to supply radiation oncology services. The governor appoints Broward Health’s board members.
A Scott spokeswoman has said the governor wasn’t aware that 21st Century had sought the Broward Health contract prior to its award in January 2012 and that no one at the private equity firm, Vestar Capital Partners, or 21st Century had asked him to try to influence the hospital district’s selection process.
