The U.S. Department of Defense is sponsoring articlesurging Americans abroad to vote in the presidential election, on a website simultaneously running articles by a Democrat Party activistinstructing the same ex-pats to “vote for Hillary Clinton in November” to help “stop Trump”.
The ads and sponsored content appeared just weeks after the George Soros-linked Avaaz network launched a similar campaign, claiming the 8 million “global citizens” are more likely to be “progressive” and vote for Hillary. A huge 88 per cent of them did not register in the last presidential election, and this “secret swing state” could win the race for the Democrat, analysis suggests.
The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), established and administered on behalf of the Secretary of Defense, is also pushing to register them, sponsoring numerous articles on the Local – an English-language news provider with bureaus in nine European nation, claiming to have more than 4.5 million monthly readers.

“If we let the Clinton Cartel run this government, history will record that 2017 was the year America lost its independence. We will not let that happen,” the Republican nominee stated to more than 2,000 supporters at the campaign rally. “It is time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. That is why I am proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again.”
Trump detailed five ethics reform proposals that he would issue if elected president:
I am going to re-institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for 5 years after they leave government service. I am going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order.
I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.
I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that...
