The Clinton Email Scandals - New Developments

Fox News: Reports " A new review by two intelligence agencies has backed up an earlier conclusion that at least two emails on Hillary Clinton's personal server contained "top secret" information.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Clinton machine will spin this as old news, and since it looks like Donald Trump could be the Republican nominee this blog will take its lead from the Clinton spin machine.    Lets hope they do a better job in the future, their present operation is a joke.  The Clinton Press Secretary stated he did not know what a wiped server meant, it is that kind of thinking that could cost  Hillary Clinton the nomination.  The US voter is not thick and and should not be treated as such by the Clinton Camp.   The Clinton camp needs to re-group and come up with a better spin for the Clinton email scandal.  One can assume that the private server was hacked by the Russians, China and even North Korea, thus ALL materials on the Clinton server has to be looked at in that context.   

UK Death List - Daesh Terrorists

Telegraph: Reports " Jihadi John tops secret 'kill list' of five Isil extremists...The Telegraph understands that five more Isil extremists are being targeted for further drone strikes in Syria after three extremists were killed in precision attack last month "

Lets Get Real:

At leas the UK is on the same page as the US when it comes to drone strikes, the UK has been far to slow to use drones for this kind of clean up operation.   The Daesh Terrorists once they joined Daesh lose ALL their rights, they butchers and the lowest of the low, the left it seems is more concerned about the rights of terrorists than the right of the people of the UK to be defended agaisnt terrorist threats.    The UK and the US needs Special Forces in Syria to take the fight to Daesh, they are a major threat to the region and the World. 

The Left DEFENDING Terrorists!! - Daesh Terrorist Threat

Guardian: Reports " Human rights group brings legal action against government over drone strike..Rights Watch (UK) begins proceedings to force government to reveal legal advice given over attack which killed two British Isis fighters in Syria "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Government should keep to its guns or drones, there are terrorist threats out there, the UK has the right to defend the realm, these terrorists do not care about the law, the actions of Daesh has shown they are scum, and deserve no 2nd look at their cases. The Drones should be up 24/7 and armed, in this way British personnel are safe and ends do justify the means, no British Forces come under threat.   The left has lost the plot. 

More UK Drone Strikes? - Daesh Terrorist Threat

BBC News: Reports " The UK would not hesitate to launch more secret drone strikes in Syria to thwart terror plots, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said. "

Lets Get Real:

The left in UK politics, Labour, SNP and the BBC News seem to want to stress that these UK Daesh terrorists had some kind of rights, they did not , they were terrorists who needed to be removed.   This blog will take the word of the UK PM over any human right concerns of the left.   The main job of any UK Government is to defend the realm, this is what the new Conservative government has done. The BBC should remember that it is the British Broadcasting Service, not Daesh.   The British people decided who they trusted at the General Election and it was not the left. 

Jeremy Corbyn the next Labour Leader - Post 2015 Election

Guardian: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn’s critics back away from bid to elect shadow cabinet..Labour MPs including Chuka Umunna and Tristram Hunt have called on colleagues to accept the result and embrace unity if Corbyn wins  "

Lets Get Real:

The Guardian/BBC types will be happy that Jeremy Corbyn will win the election, its their kind of left wing out there agenda that will run the Labour Party.    As a political opposition the Labour Party will become a joke, they can forget 2020 and 20205 general elections, one only hopes that David Miliband comes back in time to save the Party.    The Conservartives only problem will be the regular backbench opposition.   The Party only has a majority of 12, thus No 10 has to keep them in line and keep their support.    What a great day Saturday will be when Corbyn wins, the Conservativers can rest a bit in till 2025. 

US and Daesh Strikes in Syria - Daesh Terrorists

BBC News: Reports " Another British national, Junaid Hussain, 21 and from Birmingham, was killed in a separate air strike by US forces in Raqqa on 24 August. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog supports the drone strikes of the US and the UK, the drones should be in the air 24/7 and they should be armed.   The Daesh terrorists need to be taken down, the war against them will take years, and West is afraid to place ground troops in either Syria and Iraq, that can be understood given the history, thus the left should stop their cries for trials and support total drone war on Daesh, they live outside the law, they should face the results from the air.    Thus righteous kill by the US. 

Righteous Kill by UK Drone - Daesh Terrorists

10 Downing Street: Reports on the statement of the UK Prime Minister on recent attacks on Daesh terrorists in Syria,  " Mr Speaker, turning to our national security: I would like to update the House on action taken this summer to protect our country from a terrorist attack.

Mr Speaker, with the rise of ISIL, we know the terrorist threats to our country are growing. In 2014 there were 15 ISIL-related attacks around the world. This year there have already been 150 such attacks, including the appalling tragedies in Tunisia in which 31 Britons lost their lives. And I can tell the House that our police and security services have stopped at least 6 different attempts to attack the UK in the last 12 months alone.

Mr Speaker, the threat picture facing Britain in terms of Islamist extremist violence is more acute today than ever before. In stepping up our response to meet this threat, we have developed a comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy that seeks to prevent and disrupt plots against this country at every stage.

It includes new powers to stop suspects travelling. It includes powers to enable our police and our security services to apply for stronger locational constraints on those in the UK who pose a risk. It addresses the root cause of the threat – the poisonous ideology of Islamist extremism – by taking on all forms of extremism, not just violent extremism.

We have pursued Islamist terrorists through the courts and the criminal justice system. Since 2010 over 800 people have been arrested and over 140 successfully prosecuted. And our approach includes acting overseas to tackle the threat at source with British aircraft delivering nearly 300 air strikes over Iraq and our airborne intelligence and surveillance assets have assisted our coalition partners with their operations over Syria.

As part of this counter-terrorism strategy, as I have said before, if there is a direct threat to the British people and we are able to stop it by taking immediate action, then as Prime Minister, I will always be prepared to take that action and that’s the case whether the threat is emanating from Libya, Syria or from anywhere else.

Mr Speaker, in recent weeks it has been reported that 2 ISIL fighters of British nationality who had been plotting attacks against the UK and other countries have been killed in airstrikes. Both Junaid Hussain and Reyaad Khan, were British nationals based in Syria who were involved in actively recruiting ISIL sympathisers and seeking to orchestrate specific and barbaric attacks against the West, including directing a number of planned terrorist attacks right here in Britain, such as plots to attack high profile public commemorations, including those taking place this summer.

We should be under no illusion. Their intention was the murder of British citizens. So on this occasion we ourselves took action. Today I can inform the House that in an act of self-defence and after meticulous planning Reyaad Khan was killed in a precision air strike carried out on 21 August by an RAF remotely piloted aircraft while he was travelling in a vehicle in the area of Raqqah in Syria.

In addition to Reyaad Khan who was the target of the strike, 2 ISIL associates were also killed, 1 of whom – Ruhul Amin, has been identified as a UK national. They were ISIL fighters and I can confirm there were no civilian casualties.

Mr Speaker, we took this action because there was no alternative. In this area, there is no government we can work with. We have no military on the ground to detain those preparing plots. And there was nothing to suggest that Reyaad Khan would ever leave Syria or desist from his desire to murder us at home. So we had no way of preventing his planned attacks on our country without taking direct action.

The US administration has also confirmed that Junaid Hussain was killed in an American airstrike on 24 August in Raqqah.

With these issues of national security and with current prosecutions ongoing, the House will appreciate that there are limits on the details I can provide.

However, Mr Speaker, let me set out for the House the legal basis for the action we took the processes we followed and the implications of this action on our wider strategy in countering the threat of ISIL...

Mr Speaker, my first duty as Prime Minister is to keep the British people safe. That is what I will always do. There was a terrorist directing murder on our streets and no other means to stop him.

This government does not for one moment take these decisions lightly.

But I am not prepared to stand here in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on our streets and have to explain to the House why I did not take the chance to prevent it, when I could have done.

That is why I believe our approach is right.

And I commend this statement to the House.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was the correct action by the UK, no UK PM could go to the House and say he or she knew about a terrorist threat and did nothing, the left wing will talk about the needs for trials, in the case of Syria it could not be done.   The killings were righteous kills by the RAF.   The RAF should be proud of its actions.
