Gates of Vienna News Feed 9/27/2016

It is possible that up to 20,000 migrants could be turned out of Italy’s shelters and left to fend for themselves. Tens of thousands of asylum-seekers have accumulated in reception centers, and the government is running out of money to pay for their accommodation.

In other news, three people were beaten up at a swimming center in Helsinki after they acknowledged to their attackers that they were Finns. Police are puzzled as to the motive for the assaults.

Insider Warren Buffet Knows a Massive Crash is Coming: “Has $70 Billion on the Sidelines… Clearly Anticipating the Biggest Buying Opportunity of His Life”

With the U.S. stock market near all-time highs and financial pundits touting the miracles of economic recovery, investors would have to be totally insane to not be snapping up as many stocks as they can get their hands on. But if America’s economy is doing so well, why are billionaires and major investment firms warning of rough waters ahead?

Even Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Omaha, known for his investing acumen and foresight, appears to see the writing on the wall. Having made billions in the fallout of the 2008 crash by taking advantage of lucrative government machinations, Buffet now looks to be positioning himself for a very massive buying opportunity. According to analyst Jeff Nielsen, the head of one of the largest investment companies in the world isn’t invested as heavily into stock markets as you may think. In fact, Nielsen says in his latest interview with SGT Report that Buffet has over $70 billion sitting in cash on the sidelines.

And that can mean only one thing: Buffet knows a crash is coming and he is waiting for perhaps the biggest buying opportunity of his lifetime.

Jeff Nielsen explains:

He’s sitting now with over $72 billion in idle capital. He’s 86-years old. He is a long-term value investor, which means by definition that basically all of your money is supposed to be working for you all of the time… and the only time you ever sit with a large amount of dry powder on the sidelines is when you’re expecting a big buying opportunity…

Will Deutsche Bank Collapse be Worse Than Lehman Brothers in 2008?

The dramatic collapse of Lehman Brothers eight years ago this month was a defining moment of the devastating financial crisis.

Huge bail-outs were needed to shore up the troubled industry as the credit crunch turned the downturn into the worst recession in decades.

Eight years on, Deutsche Bank’s shares fell to an all-time low today amid fears that it cannot afford to pay a huge fine from the US.

Big Banks Own the Clintons

The Clinton Foundation appears more like a mafia bag-man operation than a reputable non-profit. It claims to be a voice for women and the oppressed, even while it takes billions of dollars from donors who are sexual predators, misogynists and tied to oppressive regimes that reduce the status of women. Only a small percentage of the money raised actually funds real assistance programs; most of the money goes to salaries, speakers and to the Clintons personal expenses.

If you look at the entire list of donors to the Clinton Foundation, you’ll see there are lots of individuals under indictment, lots of individuals and institutions currently embroiled in the Mossack Fonseca scandal, and lots of foreign officials who have been found to be corrupt. And the big banks are at the center of it all. Among largest donors to the Clinton Foundation:

  • Barclays Capital
  • Citi Foundation
  • Standard Chartered
  • Goldman Sachs
  • Bank of America Foundation
  • Citigroup
  • HSBC
  • Itau Unibanco
  • UBS Wealth Management
  • Banco Santander Brasil
  • Deutsche Bank AG
  • Deutsche Bank Americas
  • Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund
  • Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Global Impact Funding Trust, Inc
  • Bank of America Corporation
  • BMCE Bank
  • JPMorgan Chase & Co.
  • Merrill Lynch & Company Foundation, Inc.
  • Morgan Stanley
  • The Monte dei Paschi di Siena
  • Wells Fargo Foundation

Examples of how the Clinton Foundation Helps Big Banks to Cash in on “Philanthropy”…

For 24 years the Clintons have orchestrated a conjugal relationship with Wall Street, to the immense financial benefit of both parties. They have accepted from the New York banks $68.72 million in campaign contributions for their six political races, and $8.85 million more in speaking fees. The banks have earned hundreds of billions of dollars in practices that were once prohibited-until the Clinton Administration legalized them.

Perhaps sensing the need to assure (Bill) Clinton’s re-election, Wall Street saw fit nearly to triple its campaign contributions-from $11.17 million in 1992 to $28.37 million in 1996. Here’s what the Big Banks got:

  • Repeal of Glass-Steagall
  • President Clinton signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. This law ended the regulation of derivatives, freeing Wall Street to manufacture mortgage-backed securities and sell them without restriction; these complex derivatives would power the “subprime” swindle soon to commence.
  • Clinton’s Justice Department a deputy Attorney General named Eric Holder in 1999 authored a memo entitled “Bringing Criminal Charges Against Corporations.” It became the Holder Doctrine, and after the financial crisis of 2008 it would be of incalculable value to the Wall Street banks. On leaving the Administration Mr. Holder joined Covington Burling, the largest law firm in Washington, D.C. Among its clients were Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, UBS, Bank of New York Mellon, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America.

Daesh-Bag Hacker Gets 20 Years for Harvesting US Military Kill List

A student who hacked into corporate servers to build a kill list for medieval terror bastards Daesh has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after admitting his guilt.

Ardit Ferizi, aka Th3Dir3ctorY, broke into the servers of an unnamed Illinois company and downloaded the personal information of tens of thousands of its customers. He then identified over 1,300 customers with a .mil or .gov email address and posted the list to his Daesh contact, who put it online with the following warning:

“We are in your emails and computer systems, watching and recording your every move, we have your names and addresses, we are in your emails and social media accounts, we are extracting confidential data and passing on your personal information to the soldiers of the khilafah, who soon with the permission of Allah will strike at your necks in your own lands!”

According to court documents [PDF] Ferizi, a 20-year-old computer science student, first got involved with Daesh in April 2015 after he volunteered to administrate the now-defunct Penvid.com — a propaganda site for the terror group.

Fact Check: Clinton Lies About Her Support for TPP

During Monday night’s first presidential debate at Hofstra University, Hillary Clinton misrepresented her longstanding support for the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement to millions of American viewers.

During an exchange in which Clinton defended NAFTA and her husband’s trade policies of the 1990s, Trump said:

NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere but certainly ever signed in this country and now you want to approve Trans Pacific Partnership. You were totally in favor of it and then you heard how I said how bad it was and if you win, you would approve it and it would be almost as bad as NAFTA. Nothing will ever top that.

“That is not accurate,” Clinton said in response. “I was against it [TPP] once it was finally negotiated and the terms were laid out.”

Trump interjected: “You called it [TPP] the gold standard. You called it the gold standard of trade deals. You said it was the finest deal you’ve ever seen. You heard what I said about it and you were against it.”

Clinton replied: “Donald, I know you live in your own reality, but that is not the facts. The facts are I did say, I hoped it would be a good deal. But when it was negotiated, which I was not responsible for, I concluded it wasn’t.”

However, Clinton’s claim is not true.

FBI Director James Comey: Received Millions From Clinton Foundation, on Their Corporate Partner Board, Brother Works for Law Firm That Does Clinton Foundation Taxes

A review of FBI Director James Comey’s professional history and relationships shows that the Obama cabinet leader — now under fire for his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton — is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C. His personal and professional relationships — all undisclosed as he announced the Bureau would not prosecute Clinton — reinforce bipartisan concerns that he may have politicized the criminal probe.

These concerns focus on millions of dollars that Comey accepted from a Clinton Foundation defense contractor, Comey’s former membership on a Clinton Foundation corporate partner’s board, and his surprising financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey, who works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.

Lockheed Martin

When President Obama nominated Comey to become FBI director in 2013, Comey promised the United States Senate that he would recuse himself on all cases involving former employers.

But Comey earned $6 million in one year alone from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin became a Clinton Foundation donor that very year.

Comey served as deputy attorney general under John Ashcroft for two years of the Bush administration. When he left the Bush administration, he went directly to Lockheed Martin and became vice president, acting as a general counsel.

How much money did James Comey make from Lockheed Martin in his last year with the company, which he left in 2010? More than $6 million in compensation.

High Rear End Winds Cause F-35A Ground Engine Fire

The US Air Force says a strong tailwind is behind the flight line fire that has grounded yet another of its F-35 fighter aircraft.

The F-35A caught fire while getting ready to fly an exercise from Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. It was one of seven at the base for surface-to-air training.

The fire happened while the pilot was starting the F-35; the pilot exited the aircraft while it was extinguished, and the US Air Force says there were no injuries.

While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, Aviation Week says “initial assessments point to a tailpipe fire due to strong tailwinds as the engine was starting.”

If accurate, that would point to a buildup of excessive heat in the jet’s tailpipe. Aviation Week says at the time, winds were gusting up to 70 km/h (45 mph) from the northwest to west-by-northwest.

Internet Takes Another Step Away From US Govt and Into ICANN’s Hands

The internet’s move away from US government control took a significant step forward Wednesday with the signing of a new contract.

The agreement between DNS overseer ICANN and the five regional internet registries (RIRs) AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE covers the provision of public IP addresses across the internet — a critical component in the network’s functioning.

In it, the RIRs agree that ICANN will continue as their coordinator and administrator, but will be obliged to meet a new set of operational benchmarks as well as sign up to some new obligations such as periodic reviews. There will also be a new arbitration process in case of any future disputes.

It’s the Marxism, Not the Birtherism

The Washington Post is not sloppy; it is dishonest. Forget Kenya or Hawaii as Barack Obama’s birthplace. The issue is that he was mentored by a communist named Frank Marshall Davis, who taught him that blacks had a “reason to hate” and that Christianity was the white man’s religion. Davis essentially raised Obama in Hawaii for seven years of his young life, when he was smoking dope in the “Choom Gang” and learning how to be a revolutionary. That’s why Obama left Hawaii to admittedly hang out with “Marxist professors.” Davis had taught him well.

The rest is history, except that the Post and other liberal media have sanitized history in order to conceal the Marxist nature of Obama’s proposed “fundamental transformation” of America.

In Obama’s book, Dreams from My Father, Davis was “Frank,” a mysterious figure with only a first name who had served as his mentor. Later, the identity of “Frank” was shown to be Davis by Trevor Loudon and Accuracy in Media. Davis had a 600-page FBI file and had been on the FBI’s Security Index for 19 years. That was the smoking gun in Obama’s life story, not the place where he was born. His birthplace was always a secondary issue.

Joining the Dots: Why the Establishment Hates Donald Trump

Trump has raised the great dispossession from impotence into the establishment’s face, and this is why he is a contagion on the American political scene. He is pervasively mocked, accused and slandered in non-stop public fireworks of ad hominem hits, but the counter-attacks never engage what Trump has set his sights on — the long stripping of America by corporate globalization selecting for the limitless enrichment of the very rich living off an ever-growing take from public coffers and the impoverishment of America’s working people. A primal rage unites the political establishment across party lines, but they can’t say why. No defaming scorn and abuse is off limits, but Trump’s underlying betrayal of the ruling game remains unspeakable on the stage.

The electoral dynamite of all the Americans who have lost all their good blue-collar jobs, social benefits and public infrastructures is recognized only in class condescension. But the facts cannot be denied of a corporate globalization effectively stripping the lower middle classes and the public realm itself with no-one in Washington establishment saying a word against the greatest transfer of wealth to the 1% in history.

Popular Radio Host Michael Savage Broadcast Shut Down Nationwide as He Discusses Clinton’s Health…

2016: There are Trillions of Dollars at Stake…

Wow. This is quite remarkable.

Michael Savage is a very well known radio talk personality. The Savage Nation is a nationally syndicated talk show that is the second most listened-to radio talk show in the country with an audience of over 20 million listeners on 400 stations across the United States.

Earlier today he was discussing his perspectives on the presidential debate and giving examples of current and anticipated debate bias.

In addition, the broadcaster began discussing Hillary Clinton’s mysterious health condition that Savage believes might be Parkinsons.

Almost immediately, and without any notification, New York (tri-state area) radio station WABC-Radio TV cut Savage off the air and replaced him with the lesser rated Curtis And Cooby Show.

Towards NAFTA-EU Economic Integration? “Back-Door” Canada-EU Trade Agreement (Ceta) Sets the Stage…

The CETA agreement -presented to public opinion as an innocuous “bilateral” EU-Canada trade deal- constitutes a TTIP in disguise.

In less than a month from now, an important and far-reaching “trade agreement” between Canada and the European Union is slated to be signed and ratified by the House of Commons in Ottawa and the European Parliament.

The Canada and European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is described by the media as “a high quality agreement that reinforces Canada’s fundamental relationship with the European Union.”

But there more than meets the eye.

The CETA agreement -presented to public opinion as an innocuous “bilateral” EU-Canada trade deal- constitutes a TTIP in disguise.

It includes the entire neoliberal policy gamut: commodity trade, trade in services, investment, intellectual property, financial services provisions, all of which are contained in the US sponsored TTIP agreement. It is a de facto “carbon copy” of the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the European Union and the United States, which has been temporarily “blocked” by both the European Parliament and the US Congress…

CETA is a “copy and paste”: it was formulated during the Harper government, starting in 2009 in close consultation with Washington and Brussels. The Harper government was entrusted by Washington “to expedite resolution of the agreement [CETA] talks to avoid losing the European’s focus to the TTIP, and to prevent delay due to increasing debate surrounding contentious elements.”

While the US, Canada and Mexico are member states of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Washington’s ultimate endgame is to create an integrated North American Union: i.e. the United States and Provinces of North America. The latter is in many regards already functional.

The CETA agreement is a back-door initiative which was developed in close coordination with the TTIP. It’s adoption would trigger the de facto (rather than de jure) adoption of the broader TTIP agreement, leading to the eventual integration of the trading structures of the “North American Union” and the European Union. It would create a fait accompli which would contribute to furthering the TTIP negotiations most probably under a different label.

Blackpool Boy, 11, Is One of Britain’s Youngest Rapists After Being Caught Attacking Boy

An 11-year-old boy has become Britain’s youngest male-on-male rapist after he admitted attacking a nine-year-old boy 15 times.

The child from Blackpool, Lancashire, was only caught when the victim’s mother heard suspicious whispering on the baby monitor in her son’s bedroom.

The boy, who is now 12, also sexually assaulted a seven-year-old boy and then twice sexually assaulted an 11-year-old disabled boy while on bail for the rapes.

The defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to one charge of raping the same boy 15 times and three charges of sexual touching.

He stood in a secure dock alongside a security officer. The defendant’s dark hair was neatly cut and he worse a smart dark jacket with a shirt and tie.

Dresden Mosque Hit by Bomb, Neo-Nazis Blamed for Terror Attack

Germany is on high alert after two bombs were detonated in the eastern city of Dresden last night.

One went off outside the entrance to a local mosque, the other outside a congress hall. In both cases police spoke of “hate crimes.” No-one was hurt in the blasts.

The explosion was triggered around 10pm last night and also hit a nearby international congress building.

Police have for long warned that neo-Nazis in Germany have been forming themselves into well armed paramilitary cells; the fear now is that this may be the precursor of more right wing terror to come.

“Although so far noone has claimed responsibility, we believe a xenophobic motive lies behind these crimes,” said Dresden police chief Horst Kretzschmar.

Police Puzzled: Three Beaten for Being Finns in Helsinki?

The police are astounded that the beatings took place in Helsinki Mäkelänrinne swimming complex area.

Police are investigating and incident in which three people were beaten up in Helsinki because of their Finnishness.

The special assaults occurred in the Mäkelänrinne are of the Swimming Centre on Tuesday morning at around 10-11.30.

The first victim was a twenty-something woman. Detective Chief Inspector Mikko Halme from the Helsinki Police Department says that the girl had been sitting on the lawn when two foreign men came to discuss with her.

The men talking with the woman completely and unexpectedly spit on her.

— The young woman moved to an other area, and the same guys came back after half an hour. This time the girl was beaten in the face with his fist and had not even had time to say anything, Halme tells of the incident.

The woman attempted to leave the premises, and her bike had been taken a hold of, but the woman had managed to the wrench the bike to herself.

The next victim was asked about whether she was a Finn

After about an hour, apparently the same men had approached a fifty year old woman sitting on a park bench. She was asked in English: “Are you Finnish?”.

— When the woman replied in the affirmative, one of the men kicked the woman in the leg. Nothing else took place, Halme wonders, and tells that the men left the scene…

“Christian Girls Are Only Meant for One Thing, The Pleasure of Muslim Men”

[…] What, then, is Islam’s view of women who are “infidels”? They are at best “meant for one thing, the pleasure of the Muslim man,” as one Muslim told a group of young Christian girls in Pakistan before terrorizing and murdering one. In the Koran, (see 4:24), non-Muslim women seized in a jihad can be bought and sold as sex slaves for Muslim men, as the Islamic State has been doing.

Emily Fuentes, communications director for Open Doors, a human rights organization that advocates for persecuted Christians, said:

Unfortunately, more and more women are the target of [Muslim] terrorist groups. There are numerous international incidents of women being kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert from Christianity to Islam by radical extremist groups… Many are also sold on the open market. This brutality is not only occurring in the Middle East but in Africa and in many other places. In many of these countries, women are subject to persecution because they are considered second-class citizens because of their gender. As minorities in both gender and faith, Christian women face double the persecution. Although we don’t have an exact number, we know that millions of women are being persecuted… In these Muslim-dominated countries, Christian women are systematically deprived of their freedom to live and are denied basic human necessities.

Christian women are double damned: barely tolerated both as women and as non-Muslim “infidels; it becomes clear why they are the greatest recipients of Islamic abuse.

Interview With Jabhat Al-Nusra (Al Qaeda) Commander in Syria: “the Americans Stand on Our Side”. Our Objective is the Islamic State…

This interview by Jürgen Todenhöfer was first published in German on September 26 2016 by the Kölner Stadtanzeiger, the major newspaper in the Cologne region. (The interview was copied and translated to English by Bernhard for educational and academic purposes, thanks to Moon of Alabama.)

It was the seventh trip by my son Frederic and me to the civil war country Syria. We were there for 13 days. Words can only barely describe the extend of damage and suffering on both sides.

We conducted the interview ten days ago with a commander of the al-Qaida branch “Jabhat al-Nusra”. Abu al-Ezz reported quite openly about his financiers Saudi-Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. We were able to exactly research the identity of the man and know practically everything about him.

Russian Foreign Ministry Responds to US Accusations: “The Real Barbarism is What You Did in Libya and Iraq”

The war of words between the US and Russia escalated dramatically today, when in response to an accusation by Samantha Power, the US envoy to the UN, on Sunday that “What Russia is sponsoring and doing [in Syria] is not counter-terrorism, it is barbarism”, the Russian foreign ministry — through an FB post by its spokesperson Maria Zakharova — responded that there is “nothing more barbaric in modern history” than what the US has done in Iraq and Libya.

As noted earlier, Samantha Power delivered an emotional speech before the UN, accusing Russia and Syria of attacks on aid workers, civilian infrastructure and residential areas; she omitted that armed groups, including Al-Qaeda offshoot Al-Nusra Front which is now directly supported by the US coalition following its public “reverse merger” with the terrorist organization, are in control of large parts of Aleppo and are using its population as human shields.

In any event, it was Russia’s turn to respond to the accusations which it did today, when Power’s use of the term ‘barbarism’ drew sarcastic remarks from Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

“Historically speaking… a barbarian is someone not belonging to an empire, and we have only one of those today,” she noted on her Facebook page. “As for the imagery… the world has seen nothing more barbaric in modern history than Iraq and Libya done the Washington way.”

Russian Media Claims “30 Israeli and Western Officers” Killed in Syria

(ANTIMEDIA) — The conflict in Syria continues to take a number of unexpected and, frankly, very concerning turns for the worse following a devastating attack on Syrian troops by U.S.-coalition forces and the destruction of an aid convoy — a possible war crime.

Now, reports are emerging that Israeli Mossad agents and other foreign military officers were killed in Aleppo on Tuesday in a Russian missile strike fired by Russian warships. On September 22, 2016, Russian and Iranian state media both claimed some “30 Israeli and Western officers” died when they were hit by three Kalibr cruise missiles fired by Russian warships in a “foreign officers’ coordination operations room” in western Aleppo, near Mount Simeon.

According to the Arabic version of Russia’s Sputnik news, military officials from the United States, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Turkey were also killed in the strike. These countries are staunch members of the anti-Assad alliance, and as a result, it isn’t surprising to learn their agents might have been on the ground in Syria.

As reported by the Times of Israel, at the time of this article’s publication, the Israeli government is yet to confirm or deny these reports. Thus far, only Russian and Iranian media have advanced the claim.

The Syrian intelligence possesses an audio recording of conversation between Daesh terrorists and US military prior to the Washington-led coalition’s airstrikes on the government troops near Deir ez-Zor on September 17, the speaker of the People’s Council of Syria said Monday.

“The Syrian Army intercepted a conversation between the Americans and Daesh before the air raid on Deir ez-Zor”, Hadiya Khalaf Abbas said as quoted by the Al Mayadeen broadcaster.

Turkey: Land of Mosques, Prisons and the Uneducated

One way the rise of Islamist authoritarianism in a country can be seen is by the rise in the number of mosques, religious schools and prisons — coupled with a sharp decline in the quality of education. Turkey is no exception.

Most recently, the Turkish government said that it would build 174 new prisons, increasing capacity by 100,000 convicts. This is Turkey’s reply to complaints that six convicts must share a cell built for three. Convicts say they must sleep in turns in their bunk beds.

Before that, Turkey’s government released nearly 40,000 convicted criminals, in order to make space for tens of thousands of suspects, including journalists, businessmen and academics, detained after the failed coup of July 15.

Why ‘Infidel’ Women Are Jihad’s Greatest Victims

Always harsh, Islamic law is still harsher for women. According to the Koran, men have “authority” over women and may beat them for disobedience (4:34). According to Mohammad, the prophet of Islam, women are less intelligent than men — two women are needed to equal one man’s testimony — and the majority of hell’s population consists of women, who are further likened to donkeys and dogs in their ability to distract a man from his prayer and thereby annul it.

What, then, is Islam’s view of women who are “infidels”? They are at best “meant for one thing, the pleasure of the Muslim man,” as one Muslim told a group of young Christian girls in Pakistan before terrorizing and murdering one. In the Koran, (e.g., 4:24), non-Muslim women seized in a jihad can be bought and sold as sex slaves for Muslim men, as the Islamic State-not to mention America’s “good friend and ally” Saudi Arabia-have been doing.

Emily Fuentes, communications director for Open Doors, a human rights organization that advocates for persecuted Christians, said:

Russia Prepares for War, Plans to Move Thermonuclear Icbms to Border

Last week TASS reported Russia’s westernmost ICBM division will be rearmed with the RS-24 Yars missile system. Yars is a MIRV-equipped, thermonuclear, intercontinental ballistic missile that can reportedly carry up to 10 independently targetable warheads. The ICBM RS-24 Yars constitutes the backbone of Russia’s strategic missile force.

“The westernmost strategic missile force division in the Tver region will soon begin to be rearmed with the missile system Yars. It will be a sixth strategic missile division where the newest mobile ground-based missile complexes will replace the intercontinental ballistic missile Topol,” Sergey Karakayev, the commander of Russia’s Strategic Missile Force told the news agency.

The Russians claim the deployment is in response to NATO installing a US anti-missile system in Eastern Europe in violation of previous Russian-US arms treaties. The United States has made the outrageous claim its missile system is designed to respond to threats from Iran.

“Now, after the deployment of those anti-missile system elements, we’ll be forced to think about neutralizing developing threats to Russia’s security,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in May. Putin added that the US anti-missile systems currently in place in Romania and soon in Poland can be easily repurposed to fire short- and mid-range missiles.

South Africa: “Land Reform” Disaster

Yet another formerly prosperous farm taken over by “emerging black farmers” in South Africa has collapsed, even though it had been hailed as a “model for land reform projects” by that country’s ANC government. The farm-taken over in 2011-has already run up millions in debt, has had its power cut off, and has had many of its fixtures stolen and sold for scrap.

Hungary’s Orban Has “Hit the Jackpot” — Political Analyst

Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party may demonstrate its dominant position at Sunday’s referendum called by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán against the EU’s relocation quota and the PM may also strengthen his position abroad, political analyst Péter Tölgyessy told InfoRadio on Tuesday. He also noted that while the governing party is moving heaven and earth to have as many ‘No’ votes in the referendum campaign as possible, the left-wing opposition is powerless and has fallen to the trap of invalidity.

The Fumble in the Jungle: Richard Littlejohn Says British Women Going to Calais for Sex is Something Even He Couldn’t Make Up

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Apparently, aid workers are at it like rabbits with those ‘vulnerable people’ they are supposed to be helping — and the women are the worst of the lot.

Welcome to one of those stories I don’t know whether to file under You Couldn’t Make It Up or Here We Go Looby Loo.

British women are reported to be travelling to the Jungle camp in Calais to have sex with migrants.

Sorry, you’ll just have to bear with me while I stop laughing. If I’d have written a spoof column in which I imagined boatloads of dopey birds flocking to France for a little light rumpy-pumpy with alleged refugees waiting to enter Britain illegally, eyebrows would have been well and truly raised.

Voting for Hillary Equals More Muslim Killings of Americans

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.

By reading that statement by one of the BIG Muslim leaders for CAIR in America, you face an uneasy feeling he means business. And, as his Muslim immigrant friends grow in number, he enjoys greater power to institute his intentions onto the American people.

Islam Is All About Power Through Numbers

One of those American citizens, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promises to import 110,000 Syrian refugees as soon as she reaches the White House. If the American people vote her into office, you can expect Muslim violence to escalate with the added numbers of refugees. Example: look at Europe’s bombings, violence, rapes and riots from Muslim immigrants.

Despite IANA Storm, ICANN Shows Just Why it Shouldn’t be Allowed to Take Over Internet’s Critical Functions

Self-serving organization simply incapable of admitting fault

Internet overseer ICANN has responded to allegations of mismanagement, opaque decision-making, and an institutional lack of accountability by launching a review.

That review, however, will not touch on the most serious charges leveled at the organization, including the fact that its staff deliberately misled companies seeking approval for new internet extensions, and developed secret legal opinions in which ICANN’s staff exempted themselves from the organization’s bylaws on openness and transparency.

It will also fail to look into why the board’s own governance committee (BGC) failed to investigate allegations against staff, or why the committee claimed — – falsely — that it had in fact carried out such an investigation.

9 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 9/27/2016

  1. “three people were beaten up at a swimming center in Helsinki after they acknowledged to their attackers that they were Finns.”

    Those damn Finns are so slow. They did not get it that the Islamic Caliphate of Finland is belong to their “new citizens”?

  2. Sad to see the news out of South Africa. They are truly on track to become the new Zimbabwe.

  3. The Finns, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Danes and the rest of Western Europe really united in something or other. I don’t know what it is but it has a foul smell. Gassed semi conscious millions failing for Islam.

    • Just the thought of a world without Islam feels like bliss. Unfortunate that the rest of my life will be filled with news of the vile acts of the followers of the perfect human being.

      • When I first read Emmet Scott’s book and realized how far back the Islamic damage went, and how comprehensive it was, I was devastated. Contemplating the vast destruction Islam inflicted on the world was deeply painful. I don’t think anyone can come up with round figures for the numbers of human beings slaughtered in the last 1400 years by this evil world view.

        Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited: The History of a Controversy

        That book is a paradigm-changer. You cannot read it and not be moved. Sadness and betrayal, that’s how it feels.

        In 2013, one reader (from a “Verified Purchase” – the only kind of review I will read anymore) titled his impressions as

        What They Have Taught in School is Utter Nonsense“:

        “What Went Wrong”, Bernard Lewis wrote, indicating there was a time when the Muslims were a pre-eminent culture of learning, wisdom and openness, but then the Muslims allowed their contributions to the world to whither. Some, like David Goldman “Spengler”, point to the clash between Averroes born 1126 AD in Spain and Al-Ghazali born 1058 in Persia . Briefly, Averroes was a 12th century Muslim in Spain who said “look, there is something to Aristotle, Socrates and the Classic scholars of old:. Al-Ghazali said, “total nonsense, all we need is the Koran to explain everything including science”. Averroes lost. Yet prior to this clash we are supposed to believe that the Muslims in Spain created a culture vastly superior to the Christian West.

        Emmet Scott blows this thesis out of the water. As an example, if Spain was this paradise in the first centuries after the Muslims invaded then we should find archeological evidence in Cordoba where the Arab Muslim sources tell us there were 500,000 people, 300 mosques, 113,000 homes and 300 public baths. Whoops they can’t find any of this. As you dig in Southern Europe and Northern Africa all you find is a wasteland of destruction.

        So here we are in 2013 and nothing has changed. A small and persecuted people of 15,000,000, the Jews, have produced (165) Nobel prizes in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine while the Muslims have a grand total of (2) in these three disciplines. One of those is an Egyptian living in the US and the other a Pakistani man who belongs to sect of Islam that preaches peace with other religions. His grave has been desecrated and he has been declared a non-person in his native land. So 1,500,000,000 Muslims have produced 2 Nobel prizes and a group of people the Muslims despise, comprising 1% of the world’s Muslim population, have produced 165. A visitor from another planet would look at the respective contributions to civilization of these two people and say, “What Went Wrong”.

        Well, it has been going wrong since Mohammed and nothing has changed. Just don’t believe there was ever a golden age because there wasn’t. This book puts that canard to rest.

        ———————————————————————————
        And a lot of other myths can be laid to rest also. The best explanation for why we ignored the danger for so long comes from Bill Warner in his video, “why We Are Afraid, A 1400-Year Secret”

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y

        Watching it won’t make one feel better; nothing can do that. But his lecture makes our refusal to look at the truth comprehensible…

  4. ICANN is simply another mega-national, unaccountable bureaucracy, not materially different from those in the EU that finally motivated the British to pull out of the EU.

    There is not, and never will be, accountability in ICANN. The entire direction of the UN is to dun sucker nations for funds, and then allow its bureaucrats and career officials to live in luxury under diplomatic immunity. The media is pretty compliant, as long as they aren’t over-involved in slaves or under-aged sex objects.

    How will this affect freedom of the internet? Domain names will be harder to get, with more onerous regulatory requirements, squeezing out the small providers and concentrating the field into giant companies. Such companies have a lot to lose with just a little delay, let alone systematic stonewalling, so the companies tend to be strictly conventional in the ideas they allow.
