Sheriff Rich Stanek, served as the sheriff of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office [Minnesota] from 2007 to 2019.

3:32.  When I take my team several people to Minnesota now by the time I take this trip, I'd been doing this work for approximately 14 years I've been briefing and teaching as I mentioned created the first program in the government on this taught and briefed all these leaders I just mentioned and others and I already had an understanding of what was going on in Minnesota so we went there to get it on the ground experience in Minneapolis St Paul and then outside those areas to see what the citizens knew and what local leaders all across the state so went there from the 17th through the 21st of October 2016 and during the day met with local leaders city council County council members sheriffs and others the three of us broke the state up into parts I primarily went to the Twin Cities and North to the Canadian border and did those things and in the evening had major presentations to large numbers of citizens police National Guard and others so at the end of the week Michelle Bachman who was a presidential candidate and member of Congress from that area in Minnesota hosted a fundraiser for us but really a chance to share with key people in the Twin Cities what was actually going on and we did and we went home and I wrote a very detailed lengthy article titled, "In this War, Minnesota's Twin Cities Are Lost," John Guandolo, October 24, 2016, about what we found and put it all together and what it did was this article which was published on October 24th 2016 detailed the governor of Minnesota the US attorney lieutenant governor the mayor of Minneapolis at the time the sheriff of Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek and how all of them were working with jihady's or Communists and their actions were actually furthering these hostile Networks these communist and Jihadi networks used specific examples showed photos and all of that so fast forward to June 2017 June 28, I had met him at a hotel in Reno Nevada having been invited to speak at the national Sheriff's conference the time I was supposed to give my presentation I walked into the room and standing there having just finished a presentation was Sheriff Rich Stanek and I reached out my hand introduce myself hi I'm John Guandolo and he said I Know Who You Are and he asked if we could talk after the meeting after my presentation so we did we sat down at a table and one of his guys was there with him two of my folks were with me and I asked at the beginning of the meeting, "Hey, do you mind if we begin this meeting in prayer?"  And he immediately snapped, "We're not praying!"  So maybe I should have gotten up and walked away at that point, but that's water under the bridge.  So we had this discussion and he asked me he said he'd asked to have this discussion because of the article that I wrote and we discussed it and he said he wanted it retracted because it was full of lies and I asked him what lies were in the article and he explained what he thought was specifically, "I don't work with CAIR!"  I said well you did these things with them.  And we have a letter from them discussing the previous work you've done with them it was going nowhere and he started attacking me personally he attacked my record as a Marine as an FBI agent it was clear this was going nowhere he said that's it he stood up we all stood up we went around the table to leave and he chest bumped me grabbed my ties started strangling me and I couldn't get away by the way he's a foot taller than me in about 70 lb heavier than me not that that necessarily matters but that's just a point in fact so I punched him to keep him from strangling me which she was already doing and a bunch of sheriff's deputies had to break us up and he would not let go of my tie.  And in the end, they came to me and asked, "Do you want to press charges?"  I said no.  Apparently he said yes because criminal charges were filed against me and they were dropped pretty quickly, "No Charges Against ex-FBI Agent in Reno Clash with Sheriff," AP News, October 31, 2017.  One of my Witnesses said it appeared that was looking for an altercation he clearly initiated it and his guy wasn't really sure so the court looked at that and said you can't have a criminal case here so we threw it out that's in Reno Nevada so after the criminal case was dropped about 3 weeks later July 18th Mr Stanek filed a restraining order against me and then October 30th again we're in 2000 again we are in 2017 he filed a civil case in Dallas County Texas in the 162nd civil district court and the presiding judge was Marisela Moore the trial began on September 9th 2019 and the trial ended the civil case ended September 19th 2019 and the verdict came back on September 20.  Let me share with you some details of the trial that are relevant to this discussion first of the three attorneys for Mr Stanek one was Peter Krause whose Law Firm was primarily representing Mr Stanek Waters cross Paul Peter Krause being a significant fundraiser for Mr Obama in Texas.  "President Obama Attends two Dallas Fundraisers: President Barack Obama is spending the day in Dallas for two Democratic fundraisers after arriving in town from Austin Friday night,

00:53.  I love watching Trump transform himself into Patton. That's all I have to say.  Attacking on five fronts at once after he's mostly secured Minnesota. It's not even mostly secured, he's like, "Nope, and I'm gone.  I'm sending Bonvino out to Los Angeles.  We're doing work site raids out in Arizona.  Now we are going after the Georgia GOP in Fulton County and Atlanta. No, he's like, "Nope, we've broken open the front."  It's like Patton, he broke open the front in hedgerow country and immediately attacked in five directions all across France, and that's what I think is going on.

1:30.  I don't think it's five fronts I think it's 8 to 12 and here's the thing Patton squared with a little bit of Churchill mix he's actually using some of their strategies whatever it is we can do to bring everything to a grinding halt but what Trump is doing is easy now starting to get on and offense it's not just what we see here domestically it's that he's making the city of London Silver Spoons he's making them deal with stuff all over the planet weather it's Chinese Beijing controversy the generals and the mess

ROBERT SPENCER: What is repulsive to us and what is morally repugnant to us is a marketing tool for them.

The speaker is Robert Spencer.  His Twitter feed.  Robert Spencer books.

The Quranic imperative is to fight until religion is all for Allah.  The Quranic imperative is to subjugate the Jews and the Christians and other people of the Book under the hegemony of the Muslims and make sure that they feel every day the wrath of Allah as is the Muslims responsibility to execute on this Earth.  And these are fundamentally theological concepts.  So when our Administration says, "Islamic state has nothing to do with Islam," they are cutting themselves off from the only thing that makes coherent what they are doing.  

Finally Chapter 33, Verse 50, "O prophet, we have made lawful for you your wives whose bridal dues you have paid and the slave girls you possess from among the spoils of war."  So this makes it very clear that these are women who'd been captured in war.  And they are non-Muslim women and it is well delineated in Islamic theology that a man can have as many as 4 wives and also these sex slaves that are non-Muslim women that've been captured in war.  This is exactly what the Islamic State did.  And note also, that the Islamic State didn't make this up.  The Islamic State did not originate this.  The Nigerian group Boko Haram, well before the Islamic State did it, also captured a number of non-Muslim women and was doing exactly the same thing.  And remember Michelle Obama had the #bringbackourgirls?  That was about Boko Haram in Nigeria.  Same thing. Because they're both working from the same Islamic principles that are in the Quran.  What is repulsive to us and what is morally repugnant to us is a marketing tool for them. Young Muslims see this.  They read the Quran.  They know what's in it.  And so they see the Islamic State doing this, the beheadings, the sex slavery, the rest of it, and they think, "At last, authentic Islam.  We now see somebody actually doing with the Quran says instead of bowing to the opinion of the infidel westerners and saying no, no, no, we must not do that." And so they've made recruits, 30,000, as I said. 30,000 Muslims from around the world have gone to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State because they read the same Quran.

HENG HE: The Chinese military, Heng explains, is different from armed forces in the rest of the world. It’s ruled by the Chinese Communist Party and its primary function has been to protect the Communist Party—not to fight wars overseas.

“Even if you follow Xi Jinping, you still will be purged. So the hidden rule is broken. I think that will be the end of the whole system,” says China analyst Heng He.

“Even if you follow Xi Jinping, you still will be purged. So the hidden rule is broken. I think that will be the end of the whole system,” says China analyst Heng He. 

With the recent purges of two top military generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, five of the seven members of China’s Central Military Commission have effectively been purged or removed. Only two remain, one of which is Xi Jinping himself. 

Zhang Youxia is known to have been a longtime ally of Xi Jinping, but was purged nonetheless. 

The CCP, like a mafia, is governed by unwritten rules. Now, Xi Jinping has broken all the CCP’s hidden rules, He says. “Now nobody knows whom to trust,” and that’s a big problem for the CCP. Xi has essentially purged the two remaining generals with actual battlefield experience. 

The Chinese military, Heng explains, is different from armed forces in the rest of the world. It’s ruled by the Chinese Communist Party and its primary function has been to protect the Communist Party—not to fight wars overseas. 

The CCP’s leaders, he explains, depend on the protection of the military, but at the same time they do not trust the military: “They are afraid that they will turn the gun to the wrong side.” 

But, in order to conquer Taiwan which, Heng tells me, is Xi’s lifelong dream, the generals must be put in full control: “Xi Jinping cannot fight himself, right? He has to give the command to the military leaders. That means the military has the power to turn the gun backwards.” 

With the removal of General Zhang Youxia—who appears to have opposed Xi Jinping’s views on an invasion of Taiwan—Xi removed an obstacle - but at what price? 

“The chain of command in the military is totally broken…This never happened in the history of communist rule,” he said.

3:13  Also, the chain of command of th emilitary has been broken.  That means the military cannot fight.  Another is that the chinese military is different from the rest of the world.  It belongs to the Party, it does not belong to the people or the state or the government or any state.  So they belong to the Party.  It's a Party-ruled military.  So the military design is totally different.  It's designed to protect the CCP's rule to protect the regime, not fight overseas wars.  So the military basically is design that way they don't have even the soldiers and the guns have no bullets in them because they are afraid that they will turn the guns to the wrong side turn their guns at the party so that's the design
