Real Reason Why President Trump Banned Some Islamic Countries Entrance To US, By: Terfa Naswem
News Proof 30.1.17 No comments Edit Post
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United States Secret Service, Homeland Security, Military Intelligence Corps, The United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) among other intelligence agencies have the wherewithal to gather intelligence on any individual and organization effectively no matter how highly placed such an individual or organization might be. They also have the ability to successfully infiltrate any organization including terrorist organizations.
If anyone is suspected of being a terrorist, this is information or knowledge in its raw form. For this information to be understood, to have added value and to be evaluated in context to its source and reliability, intelligence gathering has to take place. After such intelligence has been gathered, analyzed, processed and produced, it can then be finally disseminated to the appropriate authority for further action.
My recent findings show that before Donald Trump formally announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015, with a campaign rally and speech at Trump Tower in New York City; he had received information that Islamic State (ISIS), might be planning an attack on US soil which might take years to strike something that might be worse than Sept. 11 attacks and that most of them are from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia. Trump also received information that a lot of ISIS fighters had entered the United States as refugees from the banned countries with the intention of creating a terrorist network in the United States that will be more destructive than Al-Qaeda. According to the information, most of the ISIS terrorists entered US as refugees from Syria, Libya, and Yemen. The information shows that while some may be trained to carry out attacks, most will be there to provide sensitive information, materials and security that will lead to the success of the attacks.
Trump has ordered the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United State Secret Service, Homeland Security, Military Intelligence Corps, The United States Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) among other intelligence agencies to place rigid surveillance on people from the 7 countries he banned and also collect a data base of all American Muslims to enable them monitor their activities to prevent link with ISIS and easily get hold of ISIS terrorists currently in America and those that might enter in future.
In the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, 2 from United Arab Emirates, 1 from Egypt and 1 from Lebanon. When President George W. Bush threatened to sanction Saudi Arabia and cut trade-ties with it, it was at this point that the Saudi Royal family stepped-up the fight against terrorism in which more Al-Qaeda terrorists were arrested in Saudi Arabia and handed over to the United States for further interrogations.
It was in line with these that Trump said during his campaign that: “We want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas. He said the same during his inauguration and his actions show that he meant all he said during his campaign.
I know that Trump really wants the American people to be protected from terrorists, and I also support his fight against terrorism but he should be very careful so that he does not take the “train off the rail” because what affects America on the international stage has a direct or indirect effect on Nigeria and other countries since America is the center for universal progress.
TRUMP'S INAUGURATION: Jonathan's Name MISSING As Trump Team Denies His Invitation; See List Of Invitees
News Proof 20.1.17 No comments Edit Post
PerSecondNews - The Trump transition committee, Great Again, has denied reports in some sections of the media in Nigeria that President-elect Trump declined invitation to President Muhammadu Buhari and has instead invited former president Goodluck Jonathan to the U.S 45th presidential inauguration scheduled for Friday in Washington.
The official speaking to Per Second News in Washington Thursday morning said that the inauguration was mostly a domestic event for America.
“The US State Department has advised that as in the past, foreign delegations will not be invited to Washington for the President-elect Trump’s 2017 inauguration and that heads of state and governments will be represented by chiefs of diplomatic missions in Washington,” the official said.
A twitter account of Deji Adeyanju, a PDP spokesperson also said that United States of America president-elect Donald Trump has invited ex-president of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan to his inauguration on Friday, January 20, 2017.
A U.S State Department official said that “The ‘Heads of Mission’ are the only foreign officially invited. It will be an historic few days!” He further confirmed that one invitation card has been sent to the Nigerian Mission in Washington, DC.
According to the Great Again official, Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee has raised a record $90 million-plus in private donations, far more than President Barack Obama’s two inaugural committees.
But while Trump has raised more money for his inauguration than any president in history, lead inaugural planner Tom Barrack said theTrump team wants to avoid a “circus-like atmosphere” in favor of a more “back to work” mindset.
He said only few foreign leaders were invited, which includes Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Canadian Prime Minister.
Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson also revealed Thursday that 28,000 officials are dedicated to security for the event, including 7,800 National Guard troops.
Former leader Jonathan is currently in Bayelsa, according to close aides.

JUST IN: At Last, Trump Concedes Russia Hacked Into U.S. Election
News Proof 11.1.17 No comments Edit Post
After several weeks of denial over the involvement of Russia in the U.S. presidential election, incoming President Donald Trump has finally conceded that the Russians actually carried out the hacking.
Trump, who spoke at his first press conference monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria however denied that he had links with Russia over the hacking to sway the election in his favour.
When asked by a reporter as to what he would say to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the hacking, he responded: “He shouldn’t have done it. I don’t believe he will be doing it more.
“As far as hacking, I think it was Russia. But I think we also get hacked by other countries and other people”, he said.
He promised to protect the U.S. cyber space when he assumes presidency on Jan. 20, berating the Democratic Party for doing a poor job in defending its systems.
“And we’re going to put those minds together, and we’re going to form a defense. And I have to say this also — the Democratic National Committee was totally open to be hacked.
“They did a very poor job. They could have had hacking defense, which we had. And I will give Reince Priebus credit because when Reince saw what was happening in the world and with this country, he went out and went to various firms and ordered a very, very strong hacking defense.
“And they tried to hack the Republican National Committee, and they were unable to break through. We have to do that for our country. It’s very important.”
The President-elect, however, dismissed reports that Russia had his dossiers, saying they would have released it if they had.
“Well, you know, President Putin and Russia put out a statement today that this fake news was indeed fake news. They said it totally never happened.
“Now somebody would say, “oh, of course he’s going to say that” — I respected the fact that he said that. And I will be honest, I think if he did have something they would have released it. They would’ve been glad to release it.”
He also, in a rare case, condemned Putin’s action, saying “hacking is bad” and that he should not be doing it.
“He shouldn’t be doing it. He won’t be doing it. Russia will have much greater respect for our country when I’m leading than when other people have led it. You will see that.
“Russia will respect our country more. He shouldn’t have done it. I don’t believe that he will be doing it more now.”
Trump described Putin’s likeness for him over Democratic Hillary Clinton as an asset.
“Well, if Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset, not a liability because we have a horrible relationship with Russia.
“Russia can help us fight ISIS, which by the way is number one tricky. I mean, if you look, this administration created ISIS by leaving at the wrong time. The void was created, ISIS was formed.
“If Putin likes Donald Trump, guess what folks? That’s called an asset not a liability. Now I don’t know that I am going to get along with Vladimir Putin,” he said.

China currency, Yuan PHOTO: BANK OF CHINA. |
Guardian Newspaper - The onshore yuan’s surging trading volume is another piece of evidence that capital is fleeing China at a faster pace.
The daily average value of transactions in Shanghai climbed to $34 billion in December as of Monday, the highest since at least April 2014, according to data from China Foreign Exchange Trade System. That’s up 51 percent from the first 11 months of the year. The increase suggests quickening outflows, given that data in recent months showed banks were net sellers of the yuan, according to Harrison Hu, Singapore-based chief greater China economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc.
This month’s jump in trading volume signals sentiment has kept deteriorating since November, when the nation’s foreign-exchange reserves shrank by the most since January. The Chinese currency is headed for its steepest annual slump in more than two decades and when the year turns, authorities will be faced with a triple whammy of the renewal of citizens’ $50,000 conversion quota, prospects of further Federal Reserve interest-rate increases, and concern that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may slap punitive tariffs on China’s exports to the world’s largest economy.
“Capital outflow pressures will stay, and in near term, we should monitor the impact upon the reset of the annual quota,” said Frances Cheung, Hong Kong-based head of rates strategy for Asia ex-Japan at Societe Generale SA. The pressures will likely ease toward the end of the first quarter as foreign flows into China’s bond market quicken, she said.
December’s flurry of yuan transactions in Shanghai comes in a tough month for owners of China’s financial assets. The Shanghai Composite Index of stocks is down 4.2 percent and an index of Chinese government bonds is headed for its biggest monthly decline in almost six years. The yuan has weakened 0.9 percent this month to 6.9500 per dollar.
Policy makers have set stronger-than-expected fixings and tightened capital controls to prevent the yuan from entering a vicious cycle of sharper depreciation and faster fund exodus. The People’s Bank of China has stepped up efforts to guide expectations on the exchange rate, Ma Jun, chief economist at the monetary authority’s research bureau, said in a statement Thursday.
Trading volume in the yuan will probably keep rising next year amid continued outflows and as companies, individuals and banks manage their foreign-exchange holdings more aggressively, said RBS’s Hu. “But the situation won’t likely spin out of control as PBOC will keep capital curbs tight,” he said.

There'll be World War III if Clinton Is Elected - Donald Trump Warns
News Proof 26.10.16 No comments Edit Post
Donald Trump has warned of a World War if Hillary Clinton is elected as president and her policies on ISIS, and the Syrian conflicts are implemented.
Democratic Party U.S Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton revealed during the last presidential election debate that the U.S will create no-fly zones in Syrian airspace in order to combat ISIS and also allow for peace and normality to return to the already war-torn Syria and it's citizens.
If a no-fly zone is implemented by the U.S on Syrian airspace and a Russian jet flies on the airspace, the U.S have the right to shoot it down, a move that could cause war between both nations and Trump on Tuesday warned that Hillary Clinton would surely cause a World War III if elected as president.
"What we should do is focus on ISIS. We should not be focusing on Syria," Trump told Reuters on Tuesday morning at his resort in Doral, Florida.
"You're going to end up in World War III over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton."
"You're not fighting Syria anymore, you're fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right? Russia is a nuclear country, but a country where the nukes work as opposed to other countries that talk," he said.
Trump also said Clinton's claim that he was Putin's 'puppet' in the last presidential election debate was a very naive one because anyone who becomes president will have to negotiate with Russia's president Putin in order to have World peace, but how do you do that 'when you've painted him badly?
"How is she going to go back and negotiate with this man who she has made to be so evil."
Mr Trump's warning of confrontation with Russia echoes concerns raised last month at a congressional hearing by the highest-ranking military officer in the US military.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Marine Gen Joseph Dunford told lawmakers a "no-fly zone" in Syria could spell war with Russia.
"Right now, senator, for us to control all of the airspace in Syria it would require us to go to war, against Syria and Russia," Gen Dunford told the Senate Arms Services Committee.
"That's a pretty fundamental decision that certainly I'm not going to make."
The Clinton campaign on Tuesday evening pushed back against Trump's 'World War III rhetoric.
"National security experts on both sides of the aisle have denounced Donald Trump as dangerously ill-prepared and temperamentally unfit to serve as commander-in-chief," Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich said. "Once again, he is parroting Putin's talking points and playing to Americans' fears, all while refusing to lay out any plans of his own for defeating ISIS or alleviating humanitarian suffering in Syria. Moreover, this incendiary attack is aimed at a policy that his own running mate, Mike Pence, strongly supports."
Trump also said that the election can't be lost to Hillary if the Republican party had unity.
"If we had party unity, we couldn't lose this election to Hillary Clinton," he told Reuters.
"The people are very angry with the leadership of this party, because this is an election that we will win 100% if we had support from the top," he said.
PAKISTAN: 48 Police Trainees Killed In Fresh Attack By Gunmen

AP - Gunmen stormed a police training center late Monday in Pakistan's restive Baluchistan province and detonated explosive vests, killing at least 48 police trainees, authorities said.
Baluchistan's top health official, Noorul Haq, said at least 116 people were wounded — mostly police trainees and some paramilitary troops.
A security official put the death toll at 51. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media,
Major General Sher Afgan, chief of the paramilitary Frontier Corps, told reporters Tuesday that the attackers appeared to be in contact with handlers in Afghanistan. He said the attackers belonged to the banned Lashker-e-Jhangvi Al-Almi group, an Islamic militant group affiliated with al-Qaida.
Neither Lashker-a-Jhangvi nor any other group has claimed responsibility for the attack. But the Islamic State group and breakaway Taliban faction Jamaat-ul Ahrar have claimed responsibility for past attacks in Baluchistan. Lashker-e-Jhangvi has mainly targeted members of minority Shiite sect of Muslims.
The attack started when between four and six gunmen opened fire as they rushed the hostel at the police training center in a suburban area of the provincial capital of Quetta.
"They were rushing toward our building firing shots so we rushed for safety toward the roof and jumped down in the back to save our lives," one of the police trainees told Geo television.
Security was tight Tuesday morning around the training center and hospitals.
Haq, the top health official, said many of the trainees were killed when the gunmen detonated explosive vests. He said the death toll was expected to climb as many of the injured were in critical condition.
General Afgan said the attackers may have had inside help, although he did not give details. "This is an open war and when you have enemy inside and outside, they can easily exploit the situation," he said.
He said the security forces and police were clearing the area and searching for any possible hidden attackers.
Baluchistan has been the scene of a low-intensity insurgency by Baluch separatist groups for more than a decade. Islamic militants also have a presence in the province that borders Afghanistan.
The provincial home minister, Sarfaraz Bugti, said one attacker was killed by security forces and two died when they detonated their explosive vests.
He said that about 700 trainees were at the base when it was attacked.
Baluchistan police chief Ahsan Mahboob told reporters that four gunmen attacked the training center, attempting to enter the hostel housing the trainees. A gun battle erupted when the guards resisted, he said.
A statement issued by the military put the number of attackers at up to six.
Footage shot by local television showed ambulances rushing out of the main entrance of the training center as fire engines rushed to put out fires set off when the gunmen threw incendiary devices.
Most of those being treated at city hospitals had gunshot wounds, although some sustained injuries jumping off the roof of the hostel and climbing a wall to escape the gunmen. Nearly all of the wounded were police, authorities said.
Local television reported that two explosions were heard, but it was not immediately clear what caused them.
Violence is common in the province, and the attack came hours after gunmen shot and killed two customs officers and wounded a third near the town of Surab, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Quetta.
Earlier Monday, two gunmen on a motorcycle killed a police intelligence officer in the country's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said Khalid Khan, a local police officer.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for that attack. The group's spokesman, Muhammad Khurasani, said in a statement that the shooters returned to their hideout after the attack.
Pakistan has carried out military operations against militants in tribal areas near Afghanistan and in cities across Pakistan, but extremists are still capable of staging regular attacks.
