Extinction Rebellion Founder Threatens to “Bring Down” Governments, Says “Some May Die in the Process”

Extremist statement made during Amnesty International conference.

Founder of the Extinction Rebellion climate change activist group Roger Hallam says his organization is willing to “bring down” governments and that “some may die in the process.”

Hallam made the statement during an Amnesty International conference.

“We’re going to force the governments to act,” said Hallam. “And if they don’t, we will bring them down and create a democracy fit for purpose. And yes, some may die in the process.”

Such incendiary comments will do nothing to dampen accusations that Extinction Rebellion is an extremist group.

Extinction Rebellion has embarked on a 2 week campaign to bring 60 major world cities to a standstill by blocking roads and bridges.

One of their icons is poster child Greta Thunberg, who has been on a media tour promoting the ludicrous assertion that humanity is doomed if “emergency” action is not taken to completely eliminate CO2 emissions.

Professor and sociologist Frank Furedi slammed the Extinction Rebellion climate change protest as “a carnival for middle classes who love to dress up as...

Che Guevara. He dedicated his life to taking freedom away from mankind, impoverishing the rich and the poor, removing opportunities from human beings, and destroying the human spirit. May he burn in the hottest cauldron of hell. Today, Che is a good communist.

Grassley writes in a statement:

In the process of evaluating claims against the then-nominee, committee investigators collected 25 written statements and spoke with 45 individuals. Those investigations culminated in the nominee’s confirmation and the release of a 414-page committee report concluding that there was no credible evidence to support any of the allegations.

Last year, then-Chairman Grassley referred to the Department of Justice four individuals for investigation for potential criminal conduct including the submission of materially false statements to the committee, obstruction of Congress and conspiracy to submit false statements or obstruct Congress.

Those GOP senators signing on to the letter include Grassley, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, Mike Crapo, Thom Tillis, John Kennedy, and Marsha Blackburn.

Clapper Seems to Admit Obama Ordered Him to Go After Trump Campaign [Video]

Watch as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper appears to admit that former President Obama directed him to go after the Trump campaign:

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:

SCIUTTO: “As you know, the President now has sitting members of this government, you have the Attorney General traveling the world now, meeting with U.S. intelligence partners, trying to find out, in his view, whether they participated in some sort of Obama Administration-led effort to...

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you

She's a witch of trouble in electric blue

In her own mad mind, she's in love with you

With you, now what you gonna do?

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you

She's some kind of demon messin' in the glue

If you don't watch out, it'll stick to you

To you, what kind of fool are you?

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea

She would make a scene for it all to be

Ignored, and wouldn't you be bored?

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you

Strange brew, strange brew

Strange brew, strange brew

Strange brew, kill what's inside of you

Trey Gowdy in talks to join Trump’s legal team to fight impeachment

Former Congressman Trey Gowdy will reportedly be joining President Trump’s fight against impeachment by House Democrats.

The former South Carolina Republican was reportedly in talks with a member of Trump’s legal team Tuesday amid conflicting reports on whether there had been any formal or final decisions made.

“We are in discussion with Trey about joining our team,” Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow said, while other reports emerged that the former prosecutor who retired from Congress in January had agreed to serve as...

The Trump administration all but made a “declaration of war on the House over the impeachment inquiry” on Tuesday in a letter from White House Counsel Pat. A Cipollone, who told House Democrats that the president would not comply with their “illegitimate proceedings.”

The letter listed the following three core reasons why the Trump administration would not cooperate with Democrats’ current illegitimate proceedings:

Your “Inquiry” Is Constitutionally Invalid and Violates Basic Due Process Rights and the Separation of Powers.

The Invalid “Impeachment Inquiry” Plainly Seeks To Reverse the Election of 2016 and To Influence the Election of 2020.

There Is No Legitimate Basis for Your “Impeachment Inquiry”; Instead, the Committees’ Actions Raise Serious Questions.

In a statement, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham wrote: “The President has done nothing wrong, and the Democrats know it. For purely political reasons, the Democrats have decided their desire to overturn the outcome of the 2016 election allows them to conduct a so-called impeachment inquiry that ignores the fundamental rights guaranteed to every American. These partisan proceedings are an affront to the Constitution—as they are being held behind closed doors and deny the President the right to call witnesses, to cross-examine witnesses, to have access to evidence, and many other basic rights.”

Included with Grisham’s statement was the letter from Cipollone that dismantled many of the claims made by Democrat leaders in recent weeks and seriously damaged the credibility of their unofficial impeachment inquiry.

The following is the letter that Cipollone wrote to Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi, Eliot Engel, Adam Schiff, and Elijah Cummings:

I write on behalf of President Donald J. Trump in response to your numerous, legally unsupported demands made as part of what you have labeled contrary to the Constitution of the United States and all past bipartisan precedent-as an “impeachment inquiry.” As you know, you have designed and implemented your inquiry in a maimer that violates fundamental fairness and constitutionally mandated due process.

For example, you have denied the President the right to cross-examine witnesses, to call witnesses, to receive transcripts of testimony, to have access to evidence, to have counsel present, and many other basic rights guaranteed to all Americans. You have conducted your proceedings in secret. You have violated civil liberties and the separation of powers by threatening Executive Branch officials, claiming that you will seek to punish those who exercise fundamental constitutional rights and prerogatives. All of this violates the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent. Never before in our history has the House of Representatives — under the control of either political party — taken the American people down the dangerous path you seem determined to pursue.

Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen. Many Democrats now apparently view impeachment not only as a means to undo the democratic results of the last election, but as a strategy to influence the...
