Gates of Vienna News Feed 10/16/2016

Flying the flag of the Islamic State is now legal in Sweden. A Syrian migrant had been investigated for hate speech over his display of the ISIS flag, but the prosecutor determined that since the man is declaring his animosity towards everyone in the world, he is not being discriminatory, and therefore the flag does not rise to the level of “hate speech”.

In other Scandinavian news, crime committed by organized migrant gangs in Denmark has doubled in the past six years.

5 Urgent Warnings From Big Banks That the “Economy Has Gone Suicidal”

The economy has gone suicidal.

It is working against the very people who need its energy to survive. It is collapsing on its own weight, and the weight of literally incalculable levels of toxic debt. And it is going to create the greatest disaster of our time, if the warnings from the world’s most powerful bankers are any indication.

While the general population is obsessed with the details of the world’s most entertaining and bizarre election in American history, the big banks are gearing up for a deadly serious economic collapse.

Just during the past few weeks, there have been major discussions about stock markets dropping, the insolvency of Europe’s biggest investment bank, the mounting debt crisis and a deeper, long-term decline for ‘ everyday Americans.’

Here’s what you probably missed while the Hillary-Trump cage match has taken over the collective psyche:

1. HSBC Issues “Red Alert” Over Imminent Sell-Off of Stocks

The U.S. stock market is artificially propped up by the Federal Reserve, but their ability to stimulate the economy has worn off. Immunity has set in, and they’ve got nothing left.

It is only a matter of time until Yellen raises rates.

When the shoe drops, everything falls with it.

An Inside Look at Two “Unrelated” Banker Suicides Reveals a Fascinating Rabbit Hole

It has been nearly four years since one of the most infamous, and still largely unexplained, banker “suicides” took place, the first in a series of many: we are talking about the death of the director of communications at Monte dei Paschi di Siena, David Rossi, who allegedly jumped to his death on March 6, 2013.

Since this event has largely faded away from the public consciousness here is a quick recap: David Rossi, who was the head of communications for Monte dei Paschi di Siena bank, which was founded in 1472 and which is currently seeking to finalize its third bailout since the financial crisis, died after falling — or being pushed — from a third floor window of the bank’s headquarters in a 14th century palazzo in the Tuscan city of Siena…

The plot thickens when one digs into the details revealed by the footage captured on the surveillance video.

The footage shows the three-story fall didn’t kill Rossi instantly. For almost 20 minutes, the banker lay on the dimly lit cobblestones, occasionally moving an arm and leg. As he lay dying, two murky figures appear. Two men appear and one walks over to gaze at the banker. He offers no aid or comfort and doesn’t call for help before turning around and calmly walking out of the alley.

[Comment: Watch the video. Assassination of key figures that can blow the whistle, stop and/or point fingers at those malevolent banksters that are seeking to create a world wide economic collapse. The “solution” those banksters will propose is a world wide central banks and one world currency.]

Drowning in Debt: 35 Percent of All Americans Have Debt That is at Least 180 Days Past Due

More than a third of all Americans can’ t pay their debts. I don’ t know about you, but to me that is a shocking figure. As you will see below, 35 percent of the people living in this country have debt in collections. When a debt is in collections, it is at least 180 days past due. And this is happening during the “ economic recovery” that the mainstream media keeps touting, although the truth is that Barack Obama is going to be the only president in United States history to never have a single year when the economy grew by at least 3 percent. But at least things are fairly stable for the moment, and if this many Americans are having trouble paying their bills right now, what are things going to look like when the economy becomes extremely unstable once again.

The 35 percent figure is a nugget that I discovered in a CNN article about Detroit that I was reading earlier today…

Blind Obedience to the State a Special Kind of Stupid

For those who don’t know about the CFR, Hillary Clinton while speaking at one of their meetings in their new headquarters said the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the “mother ship” in New York City and it’s good to have an outpost of the CFR right here and down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future.”

The 9/5/2016 NEW AMERICAN reported as U.S. Senator for New York and Secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton has reliably promoted the CFR “mother ship’s” agenda: The U.N. International Criminal Court, the UN’s Small Arms Treaty, the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN’s Law of the Sea Treaty, the UN’s population control and sexual perversion agenda, the World Trade Organization, the Trans-Pacific Investment partnership, and much more. She has also pushed many of these same (and related) programs through the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation, while also enriching herself under the guise of philanthropy. Both Bill and daughter, Chelsea are CFR members. Hillary had chosen not to be an official CFR member to avoid unnecessary needless controversy.

The CFR was created as a means by which to infiltrate the media and political elite with New World Order lackeys. It was incorporated in 1921 and is currently comprised of only about 5,000 members. Yet CFR members are found in a staggering numbers among the political and media elite. http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin915.htm

Chicago Police Department Caught Hiding Millions in Secret Asset Forfeiture Fund

A detailed report released in September 2016 by the Chicago Reader unveiled a secret civil asset forfeiture fund that amounted to nearly $50 million in seized cash which the Chicago Police Department was attempting to keep for themselves. The detailed analysis shows that CPD officials were attempting to pocket 65% of the cash and assets they brought in through civil asset forfeiture. This is policing for profit, and it is no different than highway robbery.

Counter-Terrorism Expert: Obama Failed to Reduce Threat

The chief of America’s National Counterterrorism Center says the world faces more threats in more places and against more individuals than at any time since Islamic jihadists commandeered four jets and flew them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field on 9/11, according to a report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

“The threat landscape is less predictable and, while the scale of the capabilities currently demonstrated by most of these violent extremist actors does not rise to the level that core al-Qaida had on 9/11, it is fair to say that we face more threats originating in more places and involving more individuals than we have at any time in the past 15 years,” said Nicholas Rasmussen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

Emergency Message: Why the Elite Must Destroy Donald Trump

Trump vs. corrupt government

As the global elite charge forward in an unprecedented attack, attempting to break the will of the American people and destroy Donald Trump, the real media, and our final chance at restoring the republic, Alex Jones presents a full frontal assault exposing their brazen lies and manipulations:

Hillary’s False Flag Uncovered, US Elections in Peril!

Hillary has no support, so she’s going to try and steal the election!

Alex uncovers the possibility that the globalists will use Russia as a scapegoat to throw the US into chaos, allowing Hillary to steal the election.

Hillary answers to foreign, multinational groups who want to permanently wound America and merge it into their global power structure which only they control.

To accomplish this, the globalists will likely try to steal the election for Hillary and start a military conflict with Russia. Both strategies are complimentary.

Notice how the U.S. is now staging a cyber attack against Russia, despite the fact that Russia doesn’t have anywhere near the cyberwarfare capability of the U.S. government.

This is intended to create a public narrative that Russia poses a major cyber threat that will give the globalists an opportunity to blame Russia for “hacking the election” and respond with warfare.

There is one thing that could unravel their plan: patriots within the government who are aware of what’s going on and don’t want a nuclear war with Russia.

New Obama Executive Order Hints at Devastating Space Event: “Could Disable Large Portions of the Electrical Power Grid… Cause Cascading Failures”

Once considered a fringe conspiracy theory, it appears that the Obama administration is now actively preparing for a massive solar event that could wipe out life as we have come to know it. Space weather events such as solar flares, solar energetic particles, and geomagnetic disturbances have long been believed to pose a significant threat to our technologically advanced society with the ability to not only affect global positioning satellites, but on-earth electronics that include the entire domestic (and global) power grid.

In the latest Executive Order signed by Barack Obama, the President calls for coordination between various government agencies including the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland security should a major “space weather event” come to pass.

Obama Enters Media Wars: Why His Recent Attack on Free Speech is So Dangerous & Radical

Control of the news media is an instrumental, key feature to any totalitarian government. In contrast, the primary reason this experiment known as the United States has lasted so long under relatively free conditions is due to the preservation of free speech (and press) via the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

In case you haven’t read it in a while, here’s the text:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Nowhere in there do I see an exception for “conspiracy theories,” but apparently Constitutional scholar Barack Obama has an alternative interpretation.

Rolling Stone Heading to Trial Over Debunked Story of Rape

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — For the first time since Rolling Stone magazine’s shocking story about a brutal gang rape at the University of Virginia hit shelves two years ago, the public may hear from the young woman at the center of the now discredited article “A Rape on Campus.”

A defamation trial against the magazine is set to begin on Monday over the November 2014 article about the woman identified only as “Jackie” and her harrowing account about being gang raped in a fraternity initiation. University administrator Nicole Eramo, who counseled Jackie and claims the story cast her as its “chief villain,” is seeking $7.85 million.

Jackie was forced to answer questions about the case in April, but her comments have been kept under wraps. Now, Eramo’s attorneys have said they intend to call Jackie as a witness at trial, although it’s possible the jury will watch a video of her deposition instead of hearing from her in person. An attorney for Jackie declined to comment…

Treason! Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson — Who is Supposed to Protecting You — Spoke at a Gathering of Terrorists.

This is absolutely should not be tolerated by the American people, and in my opinion it is a treasonous act against the United States by the Department of Homeland Security. Jeh Johnson, was a speaker at the Islamic Society of North America’s convention. As he took the stage he said, “I am the highest ranking U.S. government official and the first sitting Cabinet officer to ever speak in person before this convention.” He sounded really proud of himself as he betrayed the American people: those he took an oath to protect. No wonder we have had a record number of terrorists acts in the United States in the last year.

ISNA has been identified by the U.S. Justice Department as as a terrorist front for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Johnson being the traitor he is goes on to say, “I am proud to have broken that glass ceiling, and to have created the expectation, in the future, that government officials of my rank will attend your annual convention.” It is hard to believe that a head of the Department of Homeland Security for the United States is saying these things to a meeting of the Islamic Society of North America, which is listed by the DOJ as a terrorist front. Things are just getting worse and worse in the US, and the American people only have one chance of seeing these things change: Donald Trump.

What Millennials Don’t Know About the Clintons

There are very good reasons why the Communist Party USA hates Donald J. Trump and is ALL-IN for Hillary Clinton. It’s because despite Hillary Clinton’s good-old-American apple pie granny routine on the 2016 campaign stage, she is 100% pure unapologetic communist.

The Clinton’s have spent their entire lives working for the final destruction of the United States of America. Like Barack and Michelle Obama, they believe that America is an “evil empire” of “rich capitalist pigs” like Donald J. Trump — and that the USA is an “imperialist” nation that must be brought to its knees and melded into the global commune.

Hillary Clinton has told us from the campaign and debate stage that she believes in a “borderless world.” Hillary stated during her nomination acceptance speech — “We will not build a wall. Instead we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one,” said Clinton, referring not to jobs for every American, but rather for anyone in the “world” who wants a job, including “illegal aliens” who have been taking American jobs on American soil for decades now.

The Clinton’s quest to destroy America has been in high gear since they occupied the White House from 1993-2000.

* China is the biggest foreign threat to American jobs and the US economy today — A fact that would not exist had the Clinton’s not granted communist China “permanent favored nation” trade status in the United Nations in 1993. “President Clinton Thursday reversed course on China and renewed its trade privileges despite what he said was Beijing’s lack of significant progress on human rights.”

WikiLeaks Releases Another 1,054 Podesta Emails in Part 9 of Data Dump; Total is Now 12,073

Another day, another data dump.

In a now familiar daily routine, one which forces the Clinton campaign to bring up ever starker sexual scandals involving Trump to provide a media distraction, moments ago Wikileaks released yet another roughly 1,054 emails in Part 9 of its ongoing Podesta Email dump, which brings the total number of released emails to 12,073.

As a reminder among yesterday’s releases were the three much anticiapted transcripts from Hillary Clinton’s speeches delivered to Goldman Sachs, first profiled here, and which as the WSJ explained “Reveal Hillary Clinton’s Sympathy for Wall Street”

With another 38,000 or so emails left until election day, we expect the emergence of another Trump “sexual assault” accuser to emerge momentarily, just as we predicted yesterday and were proven right not once but twice. After all the public must be distracted from what truly matters.

Islamic State Flag is Legal in Sweden, Prosecutor Rules

A Swedish prosecutor has ruled that the ISIS flag does not constitute hate speech and is therefore legal under Swedish law.

Prosecutor Gisela Sjövall announced last week that she would not prosecute a 23-year-old man who posted the black ISIS flag on his Facebook page in June.

Police in Laholm, a town on Sweden’s west coast, had launched a criminal investigation into the man, who comes originally from Syria, on suspicion of committing “hate speech”.

“Put simply, one can say that he is expressing contempt for “all others”, and not against a specific ethnic group,” Sjövall told Sweden’s SVT broadcaster.

When the Arab Partner is Afraid of Abuse

In an unusual case, after a Jewish girl went to live with an Arab youth, the Arab asked her to contact Yad L’Achim to prevent child abuse

R. was born and raised in a religious community in central Israel. Last year she made contact with a young Arab. A few months ago she moved to an Arab village in the north to be with him.

“About a month ago,” the organization Yad L’Achim explained, “R’s mother contacted us for help. While explaining her desire to end the relationship between the two, she asked us to give her advice on what parents should do when their young daughters fall into this kind of situation. She also asked us to give her the tools to bring her daughter back on the right path.”

For a long time professionals from the organization attempted, together with R’s mother, to convince R. to end the relationship, all without R’s family finding out. All of their attempts to convince R. failed.

“Then we received help from an unexpected place. One day R. contacted us saying that she wanted to meet with us. When we tried to determine the reason for her change of heart, she told us that the Arab she moved in with asked her to contact Yad L’Achim.”

R’ explained to Yad L’Achim that the young Arab she was living with “suffered abuse as a child” and that he had begun to “express concern” whenever they talked about the future of the children they would have.

“I was convinced that he wanted to raise the kids in our house, which is the same house as the rest of the family.” R. explained. “But he is actually terrified (of doing that) when he remembers how he suffered growing up. Children who are considered Jews could suffer even worse within this household.”

“He told me that he had heard about the organization Yad L’Achim that helps girls and women like me and that I should contact them for help about raising and educating our children. He said that he had checked and that the Arabs did not have the kind of organization that could help deal with this kind of issue. Since he had traumatic experiences he wanted to take action early on.”

The organization said that while it is unusual, there have been cases in the past when Arabs approached them for help. “You could say that the other side is not happy about relationships between Jews and minorities. They understand the incompatibility and complexity of this dubious connection,” the organization said.

“Today we provide R. with professional and emotional assistance. We also provide her mother with support. We have good reason to expect very good news.”

Uber’s Ad-Toting Drones Are Heckling Drivers Stuck in Traffic

Uber’s Ad-Toting Drones Are Heckling Drivers Stuck in Traffic Editor’s Note: And you thought pop-up ads were irritating… Drivers stuck in traffic in Mexico City lately have found themselves being buzzed by a fleet of sign-toting drones. “Driving by yourself?” some scolded in Spanish. “This is why you can never see the volcanoes”-a reference to the smog that often hovers over the mega-city and obscures two nearby peaks. It wasn’t exactly a plea for environmentalism, though-it was an ad for UberPOOL, part of Uber’s big push into markets across Latin America. As Bloomberg points out, Uber already does more business in Mexico City than any other city it operates in, and Brazil is its third-largest market after the U.S. and India. Uber sees Latin American countries as generally easier targets for expansion than either of its top two markets.

‘Judicial Tyranny on Steroids’ Creates Arbitrary Sanctuary

First the Obama administration reduces deportations to their lowest level in a decade, then a federal judge decides even those aliens the Obama administration wants to deport should effectively be granted amnesty.

That is what happened recently when Judge John Lee of the Northern District of Illinois issued an order voiding thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin — the states where plaintiffs had filed a class action lawsuit.

This federal order will prevent ICE from placing detainers on many of the illegal aliens held in local jails in those six states, according to Daniel Horowitz, senior editor at Conservative Review and author of “Stolen Sovereignty: How to Stop Unelected Judges From Transforming America.”

“This radical violation of American sovereignty — judicial tyranny on steroids — will have the effect of creating a judicial sanctuary for sanctuary cities and prevent the Obama administration from detaining even the few illegal aliens they are pursuing,” Horowitz wrote in a recent column. “ You heard that correctly, a federal judge wants to grant de facto amnesty to those even the Obama administration wants to deport!”

  1. Many thanks for the article “Chicago Police Department Caught Hiding Millions in Secret Asset Forfeiture Fund”

    I usually read the Chicago Reader but I didn’t get around to that week’s issue.

  2. With the nature of the wikileaks releases lately I have to say I am hopeful that the same thing may occur regarding the EU.

  3. “Flying the flag of the Islamic State is now legal in Sweden. A Syrian migrant had been investigated for hate speech over his display of the ISIS flag, but the prosecutor determined that since the man is declaring his animosity towards everyone in the world, he is not being discriminatory, and therefore the flag does not rise to the level of “hate speech”.”

    They don’t care how vicious their rulings. If you hate everybody, it’s not hate! Really, this can’t be fixed the legal way. They got bought off stooges in all the positions that matter.

    • So the bearer of the flag supports the genocide of the Jewish people, the annihilation of non Muslims, beheadings, crucifixions, burning people alive, drowning people, stoning people to death and no doubt the further perverted atrocities yet to come and yet he is found NOT guilty of any crime?

      Poor pathetic Swedes, when are you going to actually react to the humiliation being heaped upon you by your quisling establishment or are you just “going gently into the night”
      With barely a whimper?

      Remember that deep within you there should be some Viking
      Blood coursing through your veins.

  4. I have just seen photographs in the Daily Mail newspaper of the first Jehadi Muslim “children” to come ashore. These are not children. These are sneering triumphalistss. It’s not just Sweden. England now has the “Swedish” disease. I expected more intelligence from the English. Who is in charge? A bunch of radical mullahs? As a decorated vet I find this frightening. No surprises if there are riots and government building are burnt to a cinder. The prospect of a bloody demise for white Christians gets more really probable every day. Too late for a reality check.

    • Speaking of veterans…and military. See Caroline Glick’s essay on what Obama’s Iran policy has done to our Navy. Frightening.

      Iran’s decision to openly assault US targets then amounts to a gamble on Tehran’s part that in the twilight of the Obama administration, the time is ripe to move in for the kill in Yemen. The Iranians are betting that at this point, with just three months to go in the White House, Obama will abandon the Saudis, and so transfer control over Arab oil to Iran. For with the Straits of Hormuz on the one hand, and the Bab al Mandab on the other, Iran will exercise effective control over all maritime oil flows from the Arab world. [my emphasis – D]

      It’s not a bad bet for the Iranians, given Obama’s consistent strategy in the Middle East.

      Obama has never discussed that strategy. Indeed, he has deliberately concealed it. But to understand the game he has been playing all along, the only thing you need to do listen to his foreign policy soulmate.

      Obama has consistently justified empowering Iran in Iraq and Syria on the basis of this narrow definition of US enemies. Since Iran is also opposed to ISIS and al Qaeda, the US can leave the job of defeating them both to the Iranians, he has argued.

      Obviously, Iran won’t do the US’s dirty work for free. So Obama has paid the mullahs off by giving them an open road to nuclear weapons through his nuclear deal, by abandoning sanctions against them, and by turning his back on their ballistic missile development.
      Obama has also said nothing about the atrocities that Iranian controlled militia have carried out against Sunnis in Iraq and has stopped operations against Hezbollah.

      As for Israel, since his first days in office, Obama has been advancing the ISG’s recommendations. His consistent, and ever escalating condemnations of Israel, his repeated moves to pick fights with Jerusalem are all of a piece with the ISG’s recommended course of action. And there is every reason to believe that Obama intends to make good on his threats to cause an open rupture in the US alliance with Israel in his final days in office.
      Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s phone call with Secretary of State John Kerry Saturday night made this clear enough. In the course of their conversation, Netanyahu reportedly asked Kerry if Obama intended to enable an anti-Israel resolution to pass in the UN Security Council after the presidential elections next month. By refusing to rule out the possibility, Kerry all but admitted that this is in fact Obama’s intention.

      And this brings us back to Iran’s assaults on US ships along the coast of Yemen.

      Early Sunday morning, the US responded to the Houthi/Iranian missile assaults by attacking three radar stations in Houthi-controlled territory. The nature of the US moves gives credence to the fear that the US will surrender Yemen to Iran.

      This is so for three reasons. First, the administration did not allow the USS Mason to respond to the sources of the missile attack against it immediately. Instead, the response was delayed until Obama himself could determine how best to “send a message.” That is, he denied US forces the right to defend themselves.

      Second, it is far from clear that destroying the radar stations will inhibit the Houthis/Iranians. It is not apparent that radar stations are necessary for them to continue to assault US naval craft operating in the area.

      Finally, the State Department responded to the attack by reaching out to the Houthis. In other words, the administration is continuing to view the Iranian proxy is a legitimate actor rather than an enemy despite its unprovoked missile assaults on the US navy.

      See the link, above, to read it all. I think I’ve confused the ordering of these paragraphs. Obama’s soulmate is one Ben Rhodes. Google him and look for the NYT essay from some months ago.

      The most interesting aspect is the long-forgotten Bush Iraq Study Group [ISG]. Bush convened it and then rejected their findings – rightly so – but Obama – and Rhodes – picked them up and ran with them.

      Glick is an invaluable source of detailed information.

      We are in a mess in MENA…Libya is now saying it wants Ghadaffi back – it never wanted him gone in the first place. That was our feckless leader’s idea. He and his Sec State, Creepy Clinton, ruined Libya before they ruined Syria and finished ruining Iraq…there will be a horrendous Shi’ite Sunni war – i.e., Iran vs. Saudi Arabia. And of course even as we pour money into Iran, we’re arming the Saudis.

      Suicide watch.

    Leaked Clinton-emails: “Migrants have low IQ” and “Sweden is a shocking example of Muslim immigration”

    USA / PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION — Thousands of emails recently released by WikiLeaks showing what Hillary Clinton and her election campaign really think in a number of issues.

    One such e-mail [01], which was sent to the head of Clinton’s election campaign, John Podesto, mentions Malmö and the Netherlands as fear examples of the the effects of Muslim mass immigration.

    In the email sent by a democratic election worker to the campaign manager John Podesto is pointed out that Malmo is “muslimized” because of mass immigration.

    The message notes that the story that Fox News [02] did back in 2004 [03] on the Malmö Muslim immigration was not exaggerated, but reflected the reality. As everyone knows, the situation has worsened considerably in Malmö since the story was made twelve years ago.

    Further noted in the email is – lo and behold – that a leftist economist noted that Muslim immigration to the Netherlands had disastrous labor market effects, especially for the group of Muslim women for whom unemployment is massive and almost no one in the group even is employable.

    In the leaked e-mail message also is pointed out, regarding the Netherlands, that immigrant children there have been shown to have lower IQ than native Dutch children and that 55 percent of immigrant Moroccans have been arrested by the police.

    Thus, we can conclude that Hillary Clinton’s campaign includes internal communications at the highest level where Sweden is mentioned as a shocking example regarding Muslim immigration, and where non-Western migrants are identified to have lower intelligence than Europeans.

    • There was something similar – I believe it was material in the wikis – about Hillary’s contempt for Mexicans and for “backward” Catholics…

      …what a jewel that woman is. Bill Clinton deserves her. That is a marriage of Greek origins. I mean “Greek” as in what the gods did to punish the wayward. They have really come to deserve one another. As far as I know, they don’t even share the same house – something they’ll be forced to do if she inhabits the Oval Office…

  6. I am convinced that the Clinton marriage is simply one of convenience.

    Bill is obviously free to do as he pleases with as many females as he pleases while Hill is the lead attack dog when it comes to intimidating his victims.

    As for Hill, I believe that she prefers intimacy with her own gender. Bill is simply her beard for the rubes in middle America. This is the only sensible explanation for the highly irregular, constantly lingering presence of one Huma Abedin. Of course the tens of millions the Saudis donated did not hurt either.
