Shortly after marrying Denis Cuspert, Greene regretted her decision. She returned to the U.S. and was arrested and eventually sentenced to two-years in prison. From CNN:<br /><br />In Germany, Cuspert went by the rap name Deso Dogg. In Syria, he was known as Abu Talha al-Almani. He praised Osama bin Laden in a song, threatened former President Barack Obama with a throat-cutting gesture and appeared in propaganda videos, including one in which he was holding a freshly severed human head…<br /><br />Greene was assigned to the bureau’s Detroit office in January 2014 when she was put to work “in an investigative capacity” on the case of a German terrorist referred to in court records only as “Individual A.”<br /><br />Individual A was Cuspert who had left Germany for Syria in 2012. In April 2014, just a few months after Greene was assigned the investigation, Cuspert released a video in which he pledged allegiance to ISIS. Two months later, Greene lied to the FBI in order to go meet Cuspert:<br /><br />On June 11, 2014, Greene filled out a Report of Foreign Travel form — a document FBI employees and contractors with national security clearances are required to complete when traveling abroad.<br /><br />Greene, who was still married to her American husband at the time, characterized her travel on the form as “Vacation/Personal,” court records show.<br /><br />“Want to see my family,” she wrote. Specifically, Greene said, she was going to see her parents in Munich, Germany.<br /><br />In reality, she traveled to Turkey and then got help from Cuspert to cross into Syria. Once there she married the terrorist and warned him he was under investigation by the FBI.<br /><br />Emails Greene sent while in Syria suggest she quickly realized she had made a terrible mistake. <b>“I really made a mess of things this time,”</b> she wrote to an unidentified friend in the U.S. In another email she seemed resigned to her own death, “I am in a very harsh environment and I don’t know how long I will last here, but it doesn’t matter, it’s all a little too late.” About a month after crossing into Syria, Greene fled the country and returned to the U.S. where she was promptly arrested and sentenced to two years in prison.<br /><br />Greene was released from prison last August. CNN notes that her sentence seems comparatively light given that some people convicted of trying to join ISIS have received sentences closer to 13 years. Greene now works as a hostess at a hotel lounge. She refused to talk to CNN saying it would put her family in danger.<br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2017/05/01/female-fbi-agent-married-isis-terrorist/Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-25849139240440147732017-05-01T20:47:31.739-04:002017-05-01T20:47:31.739-04:00My mom dated Andrew Jackson.

He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart," Trump said during an interview with the Washington Examiner's Salena Zito.<br /> <br />"He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said, 'There's no reason for this.'" <br /> <br />Jackson, the nation's seventh president, died in 1845. The Civil War began in 1861.<br /> <br /><br />The president further questioned why the country could not have solved the Civil War.<br /> <br />"People don't realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why?" Trump said during the edition of "Main Street Meets the Beltway" scheduled to air on SiriusXM.<br /> <br /><i>"People don't ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?"</i><br /> <br />During the interview, the president also compared his win to that of Jackson.<br /><br />"My campaign and win was most like Andrew Jackson, with his campaign. And I said, when was Andrew Jackson? It was 1828. That's a long time ago," Trump said.<br /><br />"That's Andrew Jackson. And he had a very, very mean and nasty campaign. Because they said this was the meanest and the nastiest. And unfortunately, it continues."<br /> <br />Trump has in the past drawn comparisons between his campaign and that of Jackson.<br /> <br />Ahead of a March rally, the president compared his presidency to Jackson's while marking the birthday of the seventh president.<br /> <br />Speaking outside The Hermitage, Jackson's estate in Nashville, Tenn., Trump referred to Jackson as the people's president.<br /><br />"It was during the revolution that Jackson first confronted and defied an arrogant elite. Does that sound familiar?" Trump said ahead of his rally earlier this year.<br /><br />Trump said his visit to The Hermitage was "inspirational" and that he is "a fan."<br /><br />http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/331349-trump-why-was-there-the-civil-war<br /> <br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-75679360559703884902017-05-01T10:34:23.148-04:002017-05-01T10:34:23.148-04:00My hope, and goal, as we continue these conversati...My hope, and goal, as we continue these conversations, is to slowly lift Quirk up from the cognitive lumpen-proletariat to the proletariat level, to a proper respectible place in the cognitive third estate.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27184920183118417222017-05-01T02:49:30.552-04:002017-05-01T02:49:30.552-04:00Lord help this our suffering, sinful, absurd world...Lord help this our suffering, sinful, absurd world.... !Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-62265518059046328722017-05-01T02:45:17.050-04:002017-05-01T02:45:17.050-04:00.

Francis told faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square that, united in sorrow with the families of victims, he was making a heartfelt appeal to “the government and all the components of the Venezuelan society so that every further form of violence is avoided, human rights are respected and negotiated solutions are sought.”<br /><br />...<br /><br />In a public letter to Francis on Sunday, the opposition dismissed the notion that there are divisions within its ranks and outlined its key demands that have been behind the almost daily protests that have already claimed 29 deaths. “The only dialogue acceptable in Venezuela today is the dialogue of voting, which is the only way to overcome the crisis and re-establish Venezuela’s kidnapped democracy,” the Democratic Unity alliance said.</i>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-2364634703412491262017-05-01T01:19:56.909-04:002017-05-01T01:19:56.909-04:00Tomorrow is May Day, Quirk, international day of p...Tomorrow is May Day, Quirk, international day of protests.<br /><br />Find yourself a march somewhere, carry your sign.<br /><br />On one side:<br /><br /><b>US Troops Out Of South Africa Now !!</b><br /><br />On the other:<br /><br /><b>US Troops Out Of Brazil Now !!</b><br /><br />Who knows ? <br /><br />You might make CNN.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-20928946694221131162017-05-01T00:46:33.976-04:002017-05-01T00:46:33.976-04:00Tell us all about the overwhelming US Military pre...Tell us all about the overwhelming US Military presence in, say, to pick one of many possibilities, South Africa, Quirk.<br /><br />Your map indicates there is one.<br /><br />How about, say, Brazil ?<br /><br />Brazil Invites US to Use Amazon Military Base<br /> Congress will make the final decision as it remains one of the most sensitive issues in the bilateral relationship.<br />Congress will make the final decision as it remains one of the most sensitive issues in the bilateral relationship. | Photo: Naval and Aerial Defence<br />Previous<br />Next<br />Published 24 January 2017<br />0Comments<br />Comments<br />633<br />Increases text size - Decreases text size<br /><br />Follow us<br /> <br />Former President Lula vetoed a similar proposal out of concern that the base violated Brazil's sovereignty and could be used for military operations.<br /><br />The government of Brazilian President Michel Temer has invited the United States to use the Alcantara missile launching base in the Amazon region to launch satellites as part of bilateral negotiations in the so-called "Brazil and United States Defense Industry Dialogue."<br /><br />Defense Minister Raul Jungmann made the announcement following a meeting with U.S. officials at the headquarters of the Ministry of External Relations of Brazil in the national capital of Brasilia.<br /><br />The final decision will be determined by Congress, as it remains one of the most sensitive issues in the bilateral relationship.
