Gates of Vienna News Feed 5/28/2016

Today was the 563rd anniversary of the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, and thousands of Turks commemorated the event by gathering to pray in front of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Led by a group called the Anatolian Youth Association, the devout crowd demanded that Hagia Sofia be returned to use as a mosque. The structure has been a museum since 1934.

In other news, British Home Secretary Theresa May said that her country’s sharia court system has been beneficial for many Muslims in Britain.

We Have Entered the Looting Stage of Capitalism

The IMF is now another lawless Western institution whose charter means no more than the US Constitution

Having successfully used the EU to conquer the Greek people by turning the Greek “leftwing” government into a pawn of Germany’s banks, Germany now finds the IMF in the way of its plan to loot Greece into oblivion .

The IMF’s rules prevent the organization from lending to countries that cannot repay the loan. The IMF has concluded on the basis of facts and analysis that Greece cannot repay. Therefore, the IMF is unwilling to lend Greece the money with which to repay the private banks.

The IMF says that Greece’s creditors, many of whom are not creditors but simply bought up Greek debt at a cheap price in hopes of profiting, must write off some of the Greek debt in order to lower the debt to an amount that the Greek economy can service.

At Least 35 Arrested After Trump Rally in San Diego

At least 35 people were arrested Friday as confrontations between protesters and authorities boiled over following a rally from the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in San Diego, police said.

Trump delivered a speech inside the San Diego Convention Center as more than 1,000 protesters representing various opposition groups demonstrated outside the venue, Fox 5 San Diego reported.

Before Trump’s speech, the demonstrations outside were mostly peaceful. However, the protests escalated and several confrontations took place as the rally ended and the crowds inside the convention center spilled outside.

Bill Nye the Scientism Guy

Facts don’t support his hypothesis, so he shouts louder, changes subjects and attacks his critics

In the realm of climate scientism, the rule seems to be: If the facts don’t support your argument, talk louder, twist the facts, and insult your opponents. That’s certainly what self-styled global warming “experts” like Al Gore and Bill Nye are doing. Rather than debating scientists who don’t accept false claims that humans are causing dangerous climate change, they just proclaim more loudly:

Our theory explains everything that’s happening. Hotter or colder temperatures, wetter or drier weather, less ice in the Arctic, more ice in Antarctica-it’s all due to fossil fuel use.

Climate scientism aggressively misrepresents facts, refuses to discuss energy and climate issues with anyone who points out massive flaws in the manmade climate chaos hypothesis, bullies anyone who won’t condemn carbon dioxide, and brands them as equivalent to Holocaust Deniers.

Depaul Sociology Professor Angrily Resigns Over Milo Visit

Dr. Shu-Ju Ada Cheng, an Associate Professor of Sociology at DePaul University has announced her intention to resign from her post, accusing the University President of “reinforcing existing inequalities” due to his support for the free and equal exchange of ideas.

In a message posted on Facebook, Dr. Cheng claimed free speech is a “delusional” idea rooted in “market ideology.” She said “incidents over the past two days” — a reference to Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ chaos-stricken visit to campus earlier this week — were a “symptom of historical institutional racism.”

Following the disruption of Milo’s event, University President issued a lukewarm statement, slamming Yiannopoulos’ political views but apologizing to the College Republicans, who hosted the speaker, for the disruption to their event caused by threats of violence and protests. It appears this apology is what has upset Dr. Cheng.

Cheng has since removed the post from Facebook, but the full text can be read below: …

Milo Given Queen’s Welcome at UC Santa Barbara

In contrast to the mayhem at DePaul University, Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos was given a hero’s welcome at UC Santa Barbara.

Before giving another talk as part of his college tour, Milo was lifted onto the stage via a golden throne, accompanied by music of “America Yeah” from the film Team America.

Milo’s throne was carried to the stage by a group of American men wearing caps bearing Donald Trump’s now-famous slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

Milo, whose talk was entitled “Feminism is Cancer,” and was hosted by Young Americans for Liberty, opened the talk by saying that “I am finally entering in a manner I deserve.”

Finally! @Nero gets the reception he deserves tnx 2 #UCSB Young Americans for Liberty. #Trump2016 #PresidentDaddy pic.twitter.com/bZ5w0lZuPE

Unlike the chaos that took place at DePaul last Tuesday, dissidents were present at the event but queued peacefully and involved themselves as part of the Q&A when they were invited. A few students also congregated in a non-disruptive protest outside the venue ahead of the event.

Milo’s talk can be watched in full below: …

The Day Free Speech Died

Colleges are supposed to be laboratories for ideas where debates are encouraged and a diverse set of viewpoints are welcome. Today, only liberalism is allowed and our students are not being educated, but indoctrinated.

It happened again this week at DePaul University in Chicago, IL. Another conservative speaker was harassed by liberal activists. In this case, Breitbart contributor Milo Yiannopoulos was not allowed to finish his presentation to a group of students. He was bullied and threatened and his speech was literally shut down by a group of Black Lives Matter activists. In fact, one of the free speech haters ripped a microphone from the hands of the student interviewing Yiannopoulos.

Ironically, the protest leader was Edward Ward, a local church minister who claimed that the presentation was “hate speech” that needed to be halted. During the raucous protest, one of the activists threatened to punch the speaker if he did not stop talking.

While the event was ruined by these protesters, DePaul University campus security looked on and refused to intervene. Amazingly, Breitbart paid for the event security and is rightfully asking for their money back.

Trump Motorcade Destroys Police Barricade as Protesters Swarm (Video)

Secret Service were none too impressed with the security provided by the Fresno Police Department

Apparently Secret Service were none too impressed with the security provided by the Fresno Police Department as protesters were allowed to crowd much too close to the departing Donald Trump motorcade following Mr. Trump’s speech to thousands of Fresno supporters this afternoon.

Reports suggest a rather “pissed off” Secret Service detail ordered the motorcade out of the area ASAP which resulted in this remarkable video footage of a police barrier being obliterated as the lead vehicle (California State Patrol) blazes an escape route.

It appears likely there will be some Fresno PD getting their collective ass chewed in the very near future:

If you listen carefully, you can hear a member of the Fresno PD declare, “Sh*t” as the cars speed by.

Video: Clinton Rally Goers Sit Down During National Anthem

Most Americans know it’s respectful to stand during the national anthem. Many supporters of Hillary Clinton apparently didn’t get that memo.

Prior to a rally with Bill Clinton in Edison, New Jersey on Friday, a high school choir attempted to lead the few hundred attendees in a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

But a video from the crowd shows many people sitting down, talking with their neighbors or staring at their phones — and completely ignoring the song.

Germany Monitoring Chinese Takeovers to Ensure No Loss of Technology: Source

Germany is closely monitoring Chinese investment in the country and will consider each takeover on a case-by-case basis to ensure it does not lose key technology, a government source said on Friday.

“We support investment in Germany but we must make sure that there is no outflow of technology,” the source told Reuters.

“The activities of Chinese investors have increased. We are intensively watching these developments.”

A growing number of Chinese companies are seeking to acquire key German industrial technology.

ISIS Has Euro 2016 Soccer Tournament in Its Sights, German Intel Chief Says

Germany’s national intelligence said Friday Islamic State militants have the Euro 2016 soccer tournament in their sights, but there’s no concrete evidence that an attack is currently being planned.

The comments from Hans-Georg Maassen, the head of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, come after France’s spy chief said ISIS is gearing up for bomb attacks on large crowds in France.

France is scheduled to host Euro 2016, which starts June 10 and runs for a month at 10 stadiums across the country. ISIS claimed responsibility for terror attacks in November that killed 130 people across Paris.

“We know that IS has the European Championship in its sights,” Maassen told the German newspaper Rheinische Post.

Lord Owen: ‘There is No Need to be Afraid of Leaving the EU’

“Unemployment of under-25s in Spain is 56 per cent,” he says, indignation furrowing that noble brow. “I see Brussels tolerating all this suffering because they still think they can push fiscal union through as it falls apart.”

Recently, one senior Eurocrat said to him: “But David, we all know the eurozone is going to collapse. But we shouldn’t take responsibility for it. I said, ‘Responsibility? Our responsibility is to safeguard our people from that collapse.’“ He seriously believes the referendum on June 23rd is the very last chance to do that.

Theresa May Says Many Britons ‘Benefit Greatly’ From Sharia Law

There are thought to be around 100 Sharia Law courts operating throughout the UK, dispensing Islamic justice outside the remit of our own legal system.

Judgements handed down by the informal courts have no legal basis, but there are fears their presence means many Muslim women are not getting access to the justice they deserve.

But in a controversial intervention Mrs May yesterday claimed many British Muslims “benefit a great deal” from their existence.

Secretary-General of Palestinian Presidency Delivers Speech on Behalf of President ‘Abbas: In Fighting for Palestine, Our People ‘Loves Death More Than Life’

“Every achievement is a step on the road to establishing an independent state and strengthens our belief that the future is ours, that tyrants will disappear, and that the aggressors will end up in the trash bin of history. Indeed, they are trying to intimidate us today with people who threatened to strike Gaza or the Aswan Dam [a reference to incoming Israeli defense minister Avigdor Liberman], but these threats are hollow as we are a people who loves death more than life when it fights for Palestine.”

ISIS Spokesman Al-’Adnani Urges ‘Caliphate Soldiers, ‘ ISIS Supporters to Target Civilians in Europe, U.S. During Ramadan

On May 21, 2016, Al-Furqan, one of the leading media arms of the Islamic State (ISIS), released an audio statement by the group’s spokesman, Abu Muhammad Al-’Adnani, titled “That they live by proof.” Al-’Adnani urged “Caliphate soldiers” and ISIS supporters to target civilians in the U.S. and Europe. He also downplayed losses recently suffered by ISIS in Iraq and Syria, stressed his determination to continue fighting, and assured ISIS fighters that victory will be theirs.

Addressing the mujahideen, Al-’Adnani said: “And here [the month of] Ramadan has come. The month of jihad, fighting, and conquests. Get ready and be prepared and let each of you make sure to spend it as a conqueror for the sake of Allah and seek what Allah has preserved for you, and make it a month of wrath against the kuffar [infidels] everywhere.”

Al-’Adnani urged the soldiers of the “caliphate” and ISIS supporters in Europe and the U.S. to carry out attacks, even against civilian targets, during Ramadan.

Turkey: Thousands Perform Conquest Prayer in Front of Hagia Sophia

Thousands gather to mark the 563rd anniversary of the Conquest of Istanbul by performing prayer in front of Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, demanding museum be turned into mosque again.

Thousands of people performed prayer on the 563rd anniversary of the Conquest of Istanbul as part of an event held by the Anatolian Youth Association in front of Hagia Sophia of Turkish province of Istanbul.

The prayer was performed by Murat Mustafa el-Hasan, a Hedjaz imam, and the prayer was followed by slogans for the opening of Hagia Sophia.

The head of Anatolian Youth Association, Salih Turhan, said that they are hoping to perform prayers inside Hagia Sophia.

“Hagia Sophia, which was turned into a museum in 1934, should serve as a mosque again because the decision was fait accompli without public’s will,” he said.

Bangladesh: Publicly Humiliated and Sacked After Being Accused of Making a Derogatory Comment Against Islam. Reinstated After No Evidence Was Found.

Excerpt:

Shyamal Kanti Bhakta, a principal in Narayanganj District near the capital city Dhaka, was initially suspended by his school as well following the public shaming. The incident [the shaming], which took place on 13 May, was captured on mobile phone video. The footage along with photos showed being shamed in front of a cheering crowd that included the local Member of Parliament AKM Salim Osman.

What led to the humiliating scene were accusations against the educator that he had punished a student in his class on 8 May and made a derogatory comment against Islam. However, Shyamal Kanti Bhakta denied making any negative remarks and said members of the school’s managing committee held a grudge against him for not going along with their directives.

Reds Demand Arms, Dollars and Trade Benefits

Going beyond current favors to the regime, Obama wants a Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal that includes communist Vietnam.

Having established relations with the Castro regime in Cuba, President Obama has now signaled his willingness to sell weapons to the Communist Party dictatorship that runs Vietnam. It is the successor to the regime in Hanoi, North Vietnam, which overran South Vietnam, while in the process taking the lives of more than 58,000 Americans resisting communist aggression.

Media coverage of President Obama’s announcement in Hanoi portrayed the move as an attempt to counter Chinese influence in the region. This is pure propaganda from another “echo chamber” established by the Obama administration to sell a controversial policy. While China and Vietnam have some disagreements over territory, they are still both communist countries that share the same objective of defeating global “imperialism,” led by the United States.

Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a speech on China-Vietnam relations at the Vietnamese National Assembly in Hanoi, Vietnam, on November 6, 2015. He referred to how relations have assumed “strategic importance.” China is Vietnam’s largest trading partner. These communist countries are not enemies. They are friends.

Obama is more than happy to bolster another communist state. His comrades in the Hanoi Lobby made sure a liberal Congress cut off U.S. aid to South Vietnam in 1975, guaranteeing a communist takeover.

In addition to more than 58,000 Americans dead, 304,000 Americans were wounded during the war started by the communist regime in Hanoi. The number of South Vietnamese military personnel killed was estimated at 440,357. The number of Vietnamese civilians killed in the war is believed to be 587,000. Hundreds of thousands of “boat people” tried to escape when the communists took power, but more than 800,000 remained and were sent to communist “re-education” camps. The communist Khmer Rouge took power in neighboring Cambodia, murdering almost two million people.

[Comment: Birds of a feather…Check out the photo of a beaming Obama shaking the hand of the communist leader. Never seen Obama so happy in a photo.]

Frank Jorge — Obama’s Symbolic Visit to Cuba — Hour 1

Frank Jorge is an American who was born in Guantanamo, Cuba in 1950. He immigrated to the USA in 1957 under a normal, non-refugee Visa process with his parents and sister and was raised in California where he became active as a Minuteman against illegal immigration. Jorge is a retired electronic technician and host of Frank and Friends Internet Radio Show.

In this program we get Frank’s take on President Obama’s recent historical trip to Cuba and his symbolic, propaganda-filled speech that illuminated yet another merge towards the globalist agenda. Frank talks about the conditions in Cuba that prompted his parents to flee the country in its last couple of years under the dictatorial rule of Batista. We trace over the rebel uprising and Cuban revolution that propelled Fidel Castro to power, launching an era of communist command, miserable poverty, and civil unrest that extends to this day. Frank gives an assessment of the communist origins of Obama’s political career, his relationship to the Islamic State, and his ties to special interest radicals like the Black Panthers. We touch on the anti-White lamenting that saturated Obama’s Cuban address and played perfectly in to the war on Europeans that has been building steam since the Civil Rights movement. Further, we consider the correlation between black emancipation and social unrest in the US, looking at the brainwashing propaganda that has been programming citizens to abandon natural impulses to self-segregate. We also put focus on the disingenuous narrative of racial discrimination that points the finger at whitey for the failure of blacks to integrate within a European governance system. Then, we look at how Obama’s lifting of the trade embargo on Cuba essentially brings the US one step closer to fully embracing its communist underpinnings that have been thinly disguised as democracy.

EU Anarchy: Italy-Austria Tensions Rise as Left-Wing Thugs Clash With Police at Border

Amid violent scenes the rioters set off fireworks and started fires in the road, whilst officers responded with shield charges and tear gas canisters.

Italian newspaper Ansa reported that at least one officer was injured in the clashes and more than a dozen protestors were arrested.

The Brenner pass is expected to be a key migration route for refugees through Europe this summer following the EU’s deal with Turkey, which is expected to drive migrants towards Italy rather than Greece.

Under the agreement with Ankara all migrants arriving in Turkey are now sent back to Turkey, with one Syrian being plucked from a Turkish refugee camp in return for every one of their countryman sent back across the Adriatic.

‘No Room for Islam’ Slovakian PM Sparks Brussels Upset — Weeks Before Taking EU Presidency

Tough talking Robert Fico has begun his third term as political leader — and has already sparked outrage by continuing his pre-election rhetoric about how Islam is not welcome in his country.

Mr Fico has stepped up his anti-Muslim rhetoric, telling voters there is no room for multiculturalism.

In his first interview since his election this week he told the TASR newswire: “It may look strange but sorry… Islam has no place in Slovakia.

“I talked about it several times with the Maltese prime minister and he said the problem was not in migrants coming in, but rather in them changing the face of the country.”

Mr Fico fears that the arrival of thousands of Muslims “who will push through their case” would threaten the Cyrilo-Methodian traditions, on which Slovakia has been built.

The PM also said anyone who wants to be multi-cultural, “goes against the very essence” of the country and that it is “impossible” to integrate Muslims in Europe.

RIP This Britain: With Academic Objectivity, Oxford Professor and Population Expert David Coleman Says White Britons Could be in the Minority by the 2060s — or Sooner

If immigration is not substantially reduced, the country will be transformed out of recognition by the consequences of a very large population increase: schools, housing, environment, the make-up of the people of Britain, all will change in ways in which no one has been consulted and few want.

The coming referendum will not of itself resolve the issue. But it might offer the beginning of the end of an otherwise inexorable change.

Super-Rich Swiss Village Opts for £200,000 Fine Instead of Accepting 10 Refugees

A Swiss village, one of the wealthiest in Europe, has refused to take in its government imposed quota of asylum seekers, voting to pay a fine of £200,000 instead.

The residents of Switzerland’s alpine resort Oberwil-Lieli, where there are 300 millionaires among a population of 2,200, voted “no” in a referendum over whether to accept just 10 refugees.

Swiss government proposals had outlined a quota across its 26 counties in order deliver on promise to take 50,000 asylum seekers across the country, but Oberwil-Lieli voted by 52 per cent to 48 to reject the refugees.

Environmentalist College Students in CA Marry the Ocean. …and Then They Consummate Their Nuptials.

The age-old stereotype of the tree-hugging hippie has been taken to new heights by students at Santa Monica College. “Hugging” may be fine for beginners, but there’s a new breed of environmentalist nutjob that demands hotter, heavier, action from their Earth-partner. They want to get married, and they want their wedding night to burst with all the raw power and eroticism of a Gustav Klimt drawing.

Yes, you read that right. These students married the Earth …and then had their way with it…

I’m tempted to make a point about the fact that there’s tuition involved here — – people are paying for this. There’s at least one person organizing this who’s an actual professor at a real honest-to-goodness college and, in defiance of all logic, she earns a taxpayer-supported paycheck in that capacity.

Feminists Now Characterizing Women Cheating on Their Husbands as ‘Gender Equality’

Women are now having as many extramarital affairs as men

Marriage is in decline throughout the West, so should we be surprised cuckolding your husband is now just thing a woman might have to do?

New York magazine’s “Beta Male” fully lived up to its pegged name Thursday when it released an article entitled, “Women Are Now Cheating As Much As Men, But With Fewer Consequences.” The piece, written by a woman, aims to answer the question as to why this phenomenon is occurring in the most sympathetic light possible.

The takeaway from this article is that men, upon entering marriage, should be fully ready for the chance that if they fail to satisfy their wives, she will cheat, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Women-Haters of the Alt-Right

As detailed in the German Die Presse newspaper, a final analysis of the voting figures in the Austrian presidential election showed that 60 percent of men voted for the FPÖ, and 60 percent of women voted for the communist-Green candidate.

This differentiation provoked a storm on social media from the alt-right, which claimed that this was a reason “why women should not have the vote,” and similar suggestions.

However, this “argument” ignores the reality that 40 percent of men voted for the communist-Green candidate-and 40 percent of women voted for the FPÖ.

What this means is that although there is indeed a statistical difference in voting patterns, the differentiation is not enough to warrant an all-out attack on women by the “philosophers” of the alt-right.

5 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 5/28/2016

  1. How do you know that a flock of pink flamingos has moved in down the street? They’ve got little plastic Cubans on their front lawn, and an Obama.

    [I miss-entered the last comment.]

  2. “Germany and its plan to loot Greece into oblivion” .
    —————————————————————

    Germany the West and the Greek government(These three go together) have not seen anything yet.

    Who is going to obliterate whom?

    And the most important,by whom the obliteration?

  3. This is a ridiculous article that shows ignorance on the part of the authors of what the Alt-Right is really about. To say that the Alt-Right if full of homosexuals and pathetic nerds who cant get a date is a comforting claim, but even a casual perusal of the AR sights will show that is not the case.

    The authors ability to grasp basic math is also lacking. The point of the Alt-Right commentators is un-arguably correct. The entire swing to the left in Western politics has taken place under the current rule of woman’s suffrage. Some of the first acts of woman in the USA when they gained political power was to push for Prohibition, support Progressives, and help elect Woodrow Wilson, a big advocate of universal woman’s sufrage (which was legal in some form in about 1/2 the states at the time) .

    The simple claim of the original articles author is beyond dispute: if only men had been allowed to vote the right-wing candidate would have won. If only men voted in American elections none of the Democrats elected in the last 30 years would have won either.

    The Alt-Right began by looking into the innate biological differences between racial groups, the so called “Human Bio Diversity” movement and quickly came to understand that the real science of humans shows that there are significant biological differences between races, and these differences often correlate highly with visible outcomes in things as diverse as murder rates, economic achievement and stable societies.

    Then some turned the same thinking and research methods onto the male-female divide and discovered that men and woman, contra current leftist pseudo-science, are not so much alike and have very different deeply ingrained life strategies based on their different roles in procreation and the tribe (that is the paleolithic inheritance that underlies modern humans). The fields of Sociobiology and Evolutionary Psychology study these ideas in an academic manner, and many of the Alt-Right are either professionally involved in such studies, or extremely well read in them.

    Suggesting that woman voting has had terrible outcomes for Western societies does not constitute “an all out attack on woman” , rather it is a reasonable topic for discussion if we are sincere about repairing our broken societies. Egalitarianism, Leftism, Feminism, Communism, and Anti-Racism have all played a role in created the failed castrated states (political, emotional, spiritual, and economic) that our people find themselves trapped in.

    We must fearlessly evaluate every turn where we may have gone wrong if we hope to find real solutions. Returning to some form of patriarchy, the system where the West grew to heights hitherto unseen in the human journey, certainly deserves a much closer look than the one provided by the “journalists” of TNO.
