Gates of Vienna News Feed 6/28/2017

The flood of migrants across the Mediterranean to Italy has reached record levels, and is spiraling out of control. Italy’s ability to handle the influx has deteriorated so much that it is seriously considering closing its ports to all foreign ships. Those WAYCISTS!

In other migration news, the EU is accepting five times as many migrants as required by its agreement with Turkey. A third of those “refugees” are arriving in Germany.

If We Don’t Change the Way Money is Created, Rising Inequality and Social Disorder Are Inevitable

Everyone who wants to reduce wealth and income inequality with more regulations and taxes is missing the key dynamic: central banks’ monopoly on creating and issuing money widens wealth inequality, as those with access to newly issued money can always outbid the rest of us to buy the engines of wealth creation.

History informs us that rising wealth and income inequality generate social disorder.

Access to low-cost credit issued by central banks creates financial and political power. Those with access to low-cost credit have a monopoly as valuable as the one to create money.

I explain why in my book A Radically Beneficial World: Automation, Technology and Creating Jobs for All.

Compare the limited power of an individual with cash and the enormous power of unlimited cheap credit.

Let’s say an individual has saved $100,000 in cash. He keeps the money in the bank, which pays him less than 1% interest. Rather than earn this low rate, he decides to loan the cash to an individual who wants to buy a rental home at 4% interest.

There’s a tradeoff to earn this higher rate of interest: the saver has to accept the risk that the borrower might default on the loan, and that the home will not be worth the $100,000 the borrower owes.

The bank, on the other hand, can perform magic with the $100,000 they obtain from the central bank. The bank can issue 19 times this amount in new loans-in effect, creating $1,900,000 in new money out of thin air.

This is the magic of fractional reserve lending. The bank is only required to hold a small percentage of outstanding loans as reserves against losses. If the reserve requirement is 5%, the bank can issue $1,900,000 in new loans based on the $100,000 in cash: the bank holds assets of $2,000,000, of which 5% ($100,000) is held in cash reserves.

This is a simplified version of how money is created and issued, but it helps us understand why centrally issued and distributed money concentrates wealth in the hands of those with access to the centrally issued credit and those who have the privilege of leveraging every $1 of cash into $19 newly created dollars that earn interest.

Peter Schiff Warns: “They’re Not Afraid of Collapsing the Bubble on Trump’s Watch”

Investors like Peter Schiff have been predicting the collapse of the American economy for a long time, and for good reason. If an economy is built on a foundation of borrowed money, then that economy is living on borrowed time. However, despite how fundamentally unsustainable our financial system is, it has somehow defied all expectations. It has gone on far longer than any of us could have imagined.

But that could easily change under Trump. Schiff explains in a recent interview with Alex Jones and Dr. Jerome Corsi, that President Trump is the perfect scapegoat for the coming economic collapse. The establishment loathes him, and there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that they’re trying to pop the financial bubble that they created, while he is still in office.

Andrew Spieles’ Guilty Plea

HARRISONBURG, Va. — A man paid to register Virginia voters prior to the 2016 Presidential Election will spend at least 100 days in prison for submitting the names of deceased individuals to the Registrar’s Office.

James Madison University student Andrew J. Spieles, 21, of Harrisonburg, pled guilty Monday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. As part of the plea agreement, Spieles agreed to a prison sentence of 100 to 120 days.

Spieles worked for Harrisonburg Votes when he committed the crime, according to acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle.

Harrisonburg Votes is a political organization affiliated with the Democratic Party.

The “anti-fascist” organization plans to burn both American and Confederate flags in town and to “find their local Confederate graves” to desecrate.

That last stunt might be more difficult than they think.

Antifa Rioters Threw Feces and Urine During Pro-Trump Free Speech Rally

People on the far-left often erroneously claim that free speech ends where hate speech begins, as if offensive words aren’t covered under the 1st Amendment. In reality, the right to protest and speak freely is not limited by the content of speech. There is however, a line between where speech is and is not protected, and it’s a line that leftists have a habit of crossing. Free speech ends where actual, physical violence begins.

A protest that turns violent is no longer a protest, and it can be shut down by the police, which is a fact that the ACLU apparently isn’t aware of. The non-profit civil liberties organization has recently criticized the way police treated ANTIFA rioters in Portland on June 4th.

“We are troubled by the continued crackdown on protest by Portland Police and cooperating agencies, but the kettling of individuals and refusal to let clearly innocent people free until they had been documented was another low for our city.”

In case you don’t know, this was the same protest where the police confiscated bricks, bats, knives, and brass knuckles from “peaceful” demonstrators. But that’s not the only reason why it’s obvious that the police had the right to intervene at this event. Portland Police Chief Michael Marshman has since responded to the ACLU’s concerns with the following:

“The decision to move the group located in Chapman Square was made after PPB had repeatedly observed objects being thrown and shot from slingshot type devices from Chapman Square into Terry Shrunk Plaza,” Marshman wrote. “These objects included urine and feces filled balloons, balloons with unknown chemicals, marbles, bricks and rocks.”

Delingpole: CNN Just Got Hit by a Massive Truth Bomb — The Facts of Life Are Conservative

Margaret Thatcher once said “The facts of life are conservative.” And as in so many things, she was absolutely spot on. This, as you can imagine, makes life very, very difficult for people in the overcrowded left-wing media. (It’s overcrowded because so many journalists think they’re left wing).

Every day, they wake up to a world where: Israel is the only functioning democracy in the Middle East with the best human rights record; socialism is failing everywhere it is being tried from Venezuela to North Korea; the worst, most fascistic acts of violence and intolerance are being committed by left-wing people calling themselves “anti-fascists”; Islam is not a “religion of peace”; Trump is doing a great job as president — way, way better than his predecessor Obama; man-made climate change is the biggest scam in the history of science, politics, or economics…

And somehow they’ve got to construct stories demonstrating the opposite because it’s what their dumb-assed audiences want to hear.

How, if you’re running a left-wing media organization, do you reconcile this yawning gulf between the facts on the ground and your preferred political narrative?

Simple: you remake the world so that black is white and white is black; you create your own facts.

The liberal media has achieved this in myriad ways: selective reporting; emotive storytelling where opinion masquerades as news; targeting and vicious demonizing of anyone on the other side of the argument; the extensive quotation and celebration of people on the left who have successfully infiltrated schools, universities, branches of government, and other institutions both public and private, so that their skewed version of events becomes the official narrative.

But perhaps the deadliest weapon in the liberal media’s armory is this: the continual pretence it makes that its news reporting is fair, balanced, and honest; that it is constantly striving after objective truth; that only its enemies in the malign right-wing press are guilty of biased journalism.

And for years organizations like CNN — not to mention the New York Times, the Washington Post and their various UK counterparts like the Guardian and the BBC — have been getting away with this because, as someone once said (maybe Churchill, maybe Lenin, maybe Mark Twain — no one is quite sure), “a lie is half way round the world before the truth has got his boots on.”

Energy Secretary Right on Climate Change

Energy Secretary Rick Perry did a remarkable thing last week: he expressed skepticism about the causes of climate change in a TV interview and, even after widespread condemnation from environmentalists and the press, he did it again a few days later before a major Senate committee.

After telling a CNBC host on June 19 that he did not believe that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary “control knob” for climate, Perry said:

“this idea that science [of climate change] is just absolutely settled and if you don’t believe it’s settled then you’re somehow another Neanderthal, that is so inappropriate from my perspective. I think if you’re going to be a wise, intellectually-engaged person, being a skeptic about some of these issues is quite alright.”

Climate activists and many media were outraged.

Forgotten Americans on H-1B: ‘This is Complete Treason’

WASHINGTON, D.C. — While Americans who have lost their jobs to outsourcing are willing to speak up, they remain fearfully hushed about the issue, making sure their names and former employers are not released.

Every year, more than 100,000 foreign workers are brought to the U.S. on the H-1B visa and are allowed to stay for up to six years. That number has ballooned to potentially hundreds of thousands each year, as universities and non-profits are exempt from the cap. With more entering the U.S. through the visa, Americans are often replaced and forced to train their foreign replacements.

As Breitbart Texas spoke to a number of workers in front of the White House, a reoccurring factor was that Americans would only speak anonymously.

“I have to remain anonymous,” one told Breitbart Texas. “It’s in my severance package.”

He had to move from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. just to find a job after he had been outsourced by Infosys, India’s top consulting firm.

Frank Gaffney: ‘Team Jihad’ Ebook Chronicles Hard Left Alliance With Radical Islam

Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney joined SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily to talk about the Supreme Court opinion on President Trump’s immigration orders, the launch of a new book about the alliance between radical Islam and the American left, and the phenomenon of “Ramadan rage.” …

“The main thing is, I believe, that the Supreme Court did very importantly affirm that it is in fact a presidential responsibility to determine the eligibility of people to come into the United States. That’s essentially what President Trump has said he would do, has tried to do with these orders — two of them now — and I think that affirmation is absolutely critical,” he said. …

Gaffney was excited to announce the release of the Center for Security Policy’s latest ebook, Team JIHAD: How Sharia Supremacists Collaborate with Leftists to Destroy the United States.

“We unveiled it yesterday with a Facebook Live event featuring Matt Vadim, the author of the book, and also Gregory Angelo from the Log Cabin Republicans, talking about basically this phenomenon, the bizarre phenomenon of the hard left in the United States making common cause with — excusing, apologizing for, or otherwise enabling — the jihadists,” said Gaffney.

He said leftists were willing to excuse some degree of violent jihad, but they were especially relaxed about “civilizational jihad,” the “stealthy, subversive” approach favored by such organizations as the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Matt has done an extraordinary book. This is available for free online, if you care to take it down as a PDF, at SecureFreedom.org,” said Gaffney. “It’s really required reading in our time.” …

“The other piece of it though, and I cannot emphasize this enough, I think is that what we’re witnessing, both in terms of these growing appetites — if I can use that expression — on the part of the jihadists for violence, and their perception that the time has arrived in which to engage in it, because of what they are perceiving as essentially the submission of Western governments,” Gaffney argued.

“Look no further than Britain after the series of attacks, and the British government continuing to try to find ways to essentially appease and apologize to the people perpetrating much of this violence,” he said. “It reinforces their worst instincts, and doctrinally it plays into what these guys believe is their God-directed duty. When they see the infidel submitting, it is their requirement to make them feel subdued, as the Koran says — meaning pour it on.”

How Jesse Ventura Fell Under Castro’s Powers of Fascination — And Never Recovered

by Servando Gonzalez

I have always felt a great admiration and respect for former Governor Jesse Ventura. I consider him a person of honesty and integrity and a straight shooter. I admired him as an actor in Predator, one of my favorite Sci-Fi films. Nevertheless, I found difficult to understand why in his TV programs and books about conspiracy theories he has never mentioned the mother of them all: the fact that Fidel Castro was for close to 60 years a key CIA agent.

I also found it strange that Ventura never mentioned Castro — the only one among the possible suspects who publicly threatened Kennedy with assassination — in any of the books and articles he has written about the assassination of President Kennedy. Just recently, however, I think I found an explanation for it.

Macy’s Stock Crumbles After Dumping Trump

Huge decline in sales for 9 straight quarters

Nearly two years after phasing out its Donald Trump line of menswear, Macy’s stock has plummeted to its lowest levels in years.

Macy’s dumped Trump merchandise in July 2015 after the then-Republican presidential candidate made “derogatory” comments about Mexican immigrants.

“Macy’s is a company that stands for diversity and inclusion,” the company said at the time. “We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico.”

Trump responded by calling for a boycott of the store, tweeting: “Those who believe in tight border security, stopping illegal immigration, [and] SMART trade deals [with] other countries should boycott Macy’s.”

Mark Zuckerberg Compares Facebook to ‘Churches’ And ‘Community Support Groups’

Mark Zuckerberg recently stated his desire to have Facebook act as a community for its users, replacing “churches” and “community support groups.”

Speaking at Facebook’s first Communities Summit in Chicago last week, Mark Zuckerberg discussed a number of topics, including Facebook’s new mission statement which was changed from “connecting the world” to a new goal, to “give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” Following criticism that Facebook was complicit in the spread of “fake news,” Zuckerberg stated, “Our mission of connecting people, that was not supposed to be controversial. So now the question is, why is that a controversial thing, and how do you rebuild that?”

CNBC reports that later at the rally, the Facebook CEO discussed the use of Facebook as a community tool to bring it’s users closer together, “It’s so striking that for decades, membership in all kinds of groups has declined as much as one-quarter,” said Zuckerberg during the Communities Summit, “That’s a lot of people who now need to find a sense of purpose and support somewhere else.” He then seemed to liken Facebook to a church of sorts, “People who go to church are more likely to volunteer and give to charity — not just because they’re religious, but because they’re part of a community.”

Narrative on Hassanen Murder Crumbles

In the aftermath of the brutal beating and death of a teenage Muslim girl in Virginia, liberal activists and some civil rights organizations rushed to frame the killing as a hate crime.

Many said that Nabra Mohmod Hassanen’s killer was obviously motivated by loathing for Muslims, one of many minority groups suffering under the “climate of hate” that President Donald Trump’s administration has created.

The storyline began to collapse when The Daily Caller and other outlets reported that the alleged killer, Darwin Martinez Torres, was not a white supremacist bigot, as some alleged, but rather a 22-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

Scientists Reveal Evidence Planet X Exists

At least two major planets on fringes of Solar System, evidence suggests A mysterious “planetary object” at least the size of Mars is orbiting the outer fringes of the Solar System, scientists suggest, and an even larger planet may lurk farther away.

Astronomers with the University of Arizona made the shocking discovery that the solar system’s outer Kuiper Belt is warped, and the most likely scenario is that there’s a major planet with an orbit around 60 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

“According to our calculations, something as massive as Mars would be needed to cause the warp that we measured,” said Kat Volk, who’s leading the study at the university.

The other possibility is that a rogue star passed close by the solar system, but the math suggests this is unlikely.

Supreme Court Declines to Affirm Second Amendment Rights

The United States Supreme Court has declined to affirm the constitutional, Second Amendment rights which are guaranteed to citizens. They did so by rejecting an appeal from a lower court. That court had ruled that the state of California can impose severe restrictions on issuing permits to carry firearms.

In refusing to hear the appeal, the lower court ruling remains in effect.

Only two justices, Clarence Thomas and the newly seated Neil Gorsuch, dissented. Quoting them from Fox News, “The Court’s decision… reflects a distressing trend: the treatment of the Second Amendment as a disfavored right,” they wrote.

The court’s ruling seems to be in conflict with two earlier Supreme Court Rulings, in 2008 and 2010, that Second Amendment rights apply to individuals, not to the government alone — as in police and military.

Terrorist Group Launches App Enabling Muslims to Report ‘Hate Crimes’

CAIR claims Trump and supporters fueling rise in Islamophobia

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was designated a terrorist group by the UAE, has launched an app designed to enable Muslims and other minority groups to report ‘hate crimes’ and ‘incidents of bias.’

“It has been on the back burner for some time. Its development got accelerated though with the election of Donald Trump,” he said. “It’s on a daily basis now that we are issuing a statement about some hate crime somewhere in the country, some days multiple incidents.”

Watch: The Left Prepares for War With New “Self-Defense” Training Club

You may recall that last April, leftist social justice warriors admitted that they received a major beat down when they went up against Trump supporters on the streets of Berkeley. Following that altercation, many of them took to Reddit to complain that they were outmatched, and needed more weapons, better equipment, and even combat training.

Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about them becoming competent street brawlers any time soon.

It turns out that an “anti-fascist” group in Chicago called the “Haymaker Collective” has opened a nonprofit self-defense club, where “people, regardless of ability, can learn the skills they need to stay safe in Trump’s America.” They tried to raise $50,000 on Indiegogo for boxing gloves, bags, exercise machines, etc, but they fell short by $44,000.

How did this globalist insider and ardent neo-con land a key spot in the Trump circle?

Amnesty Won’t Comply With Hungary Law Regulating Foreign and Soros-Funded NGOs

Amnesty International has joined a boycott of new, mandatory reporting rules for foreign-funded civic groups in Hungary, the group said Tuesday.

According to the government, the law that went into effect Tuesday is meant to increase transparency, but critics see it as an effort to stifle political dissent.

“Amnesty International has every intention of challenging Hungary’s repressive new NGO law in the courts … and no intention of complying with it until all these avenues have been exhausted,” Amnesty International Hungary director Julia Ivan said.

Civic groups receiving more than around $26,200 a year from abroad have to register with the courts within 15 days and include in most of their online and printed publications that they are foreign-funded.

The law passed earlier this month reflects the conflict between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Hungarian-American financier George Soros, whose ideal of an “open society” is at odds with Orban’s desire to turn Hungary into an “illiberal state.”

Brexit to Trigger £10.5bn Brussels Black Hole, European Commission Warns

The UK’s expected departure from the EU in 2019 will cost the bloc between £8billion and £10.5billion a year, a European Commission discussion document said.

It urged EU leaders to consider drastic measures including tax rises within the 27 member states and a radical overhaul of farming subsidies to make up the short fall.

Euro-sceptics suggested the looming cash crisis in Brussels will boost Theresa May’s chances of agreeing a good trade deal

Paris to Build a “Wall” Around Eiffel Tower as Terrorism Becomes Mundane in Europe

Americans are still waiting for a border wall, but France is set to get a wall of their own by the end of the year.

Unlike the American iteration, this barrier won’t be erected on the French border. It’s set to surround the Eiffel Tower to shield it from terrorist attacks.

Last month, the Paris city council approved a $20 million bulletproof glass wall, just over 8 feet high, that will surround the iconic tower.

White House Claims Assad Preparing for Another Chemical Attack: “He and His Military Will Pay a Heavy Price”

Over the past few months, the US military has slowly fallen victim to mission creep in Syria. Earlier this month, the Air Force shot down a Syrian aircraft for the very first time, and in May our military bombed a Syrian Army convoy. Before that, President Trump ordered the bombing of a Syrian airfield after Assad was accused of dropping chemical weapons on civilians.

Forget for moment, about whether or not these actions were justified, because whatever the case may be, it’s obvious that we are growing a little more entangled in Syria’s Civil War as time goes on.

And the next incremental step towards war with the Syrian government appears to have been taken yesterday. On Monday night, the White House claimed that Syria was preparing for another chemical attack, before issuing this threat to Assad:

“The United States has identified potential preparations for another chemical weapons attack by the Assad regime that would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children,” a statement from the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said. “The activities are similar to preparations the regime made before its April 4, 2017, chemical weapons attack.

“As we have previously stated, the United States is in Syria to eliminate the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. If, however, Mr. Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price.”

So what “preparations” are being made by the Syrian government? The White House won’t say. But if what happened after the last chemical attack in Syria is any indication, they probably don’t have much evidence.

New Ransomware Outbreak Hits Targets Worldwide Including Chernobyl Nuke Plant

Malicious software utilizes same leaked NSA exploit used in WannaCry attack

A new ransomware outbreak utilizing a leaked NSA exploit is currently infecting computers across the globe, including those used to monitor radiation levels at Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Widely referred to as Peyta — though the attack is new and not a Peyta variant — the virus uses the same Windows SMB flaw that allowed last month’s WannaCry outbreak to spread so quickly.

The malicious software, which has thus far been detected in countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, the UK and US, encrypts and alters critical system files before demanding $300 worth of Bitcoin.

Putin Says Foreign Agencies Back Terrorism on Russia’s Borders

Some foreign special services are directly supporting extremist and terrorist groups to destabilize the situation near Russia’s borders, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with Russia’s foreign intelligence agency.

“In general, the growing activity of foreign special services against us and our allies is obvious,” Putin said in a televised speech in Moscow on Wednesday, without specifying which nations he was referring to. “There are operations to influence the domestic political and social processes in our country.”

They simply told him to go out, and said they would take care of the patients. “But it was all lies,” Oum said. “I kept thinking at that time, at that moment, that all those children would die.”

“Until now, this picture of those children is still in my mind. I couldn’t accomplish my job to save them,” he said. “It’s something that follows me every day.”

“My hospital vanished within hours,” he said. “It became a ghost hospital.”

Shock Footage: Protester Shot Dead on Live TV During Venezuelan Riots

We’ve repeatedly warned our readers that a collapse of life as we know it in America would quickly devolve into violence, looting and outright anarchy. As the economic landscape in America deteriorates it is likely only a matter of time before millions of starving Americans make their way to the streets in protest. When that happens they’ ll be met with a heavily armed response. It’ ll start with tear gas and rubber bullets, but that won’t be enough to stave off the starving and hopeless masses, so we can fully expect real bullets to start flying in short order.

To see a real-world example of this one need only turn their attention to Venezuela, where the collapse of their currency has led to hyperinflation to the point that supplies of bare essentials like flour, meat, medicine and toilet paper are unavailable to the general population. The situation has been playing out for several years and it appears to be coming to a head.

As evidenced by the video below, which appeared on Live television, Venezuelan riot police and military are now to the point where they are willing to kill to ensure the security of the State.

As people watched on live TV, a protester hurled rocks over the fence of La Carlota air base in Caracas. His face was covered by a bandanna, and a knapsack was strapped to his chest.

Two soldiers approached, standing just feet away from the riots.

Then, one of the officers pulled out a rifle and fired, striking the activist in the chest. He stumbled off-camera. A few minutes later, a group of people are seen carrying him.

The protester, later identified as 22-year-old David José Vallenilla, died at the hospital. He had been shot in the chest three times. (WaPo)

CNN Interviews Sesame Street’s Elmo About ‘Wonderful’ Trip to Refugee Camp

CNN ran a story on Monday describing the “wonderful” visit of Sesame Street character Elmo to a refugee camp in Syria, where he concludes that “refugee kids are just like us.”

“They like to play and learn just like Elmo and all his friends at Sesame Street,” Elmo said during an interview broadcast on CNN via Facebook Live. “Elmo thinks it’s important to know that everybody is the same deep down and that’s very important.”

“It was really sad because Elmo’s new friends told Elmo that they had to leave their homes because it wasn’t safe for them to stay,” he continued. “And that made Elmo really sad and sometimes a bit scared.”

EU Facing New Migrant Crisis as Summer Sees Record Numbers Attempt to Cross Med

More than 10,000 asylum seekers were rescued from the Mediterranean in just three days this week, with hundreds more crossing into Greece from Turkey.

The 400 Turkish border crossings suggest that a deal struck between Brussels and Ankara — for migrants to be turned around before reaching the EU — is breaking down.

The figures also raise the spectre of the chaos witnessed in 2015 when the number of migrants seeking asylum was at its highest in 25 years.

Europe Taking Five Times the Migrants as Agreed From Turkey

European Union countries are taking in far more migrants from Turkey than required by the migrant agreement, with Germany taking in more than a third of the migrants.

The European Union (EU) migrant agreement with Turkey began in March 2016. Since then, the EU has taken in 6,907 Syrian asylum seekers directly from Turkey.

Ankara, by contrast, has taken only 1,229 migrants from Greece which contradicts the agreement in which Turkey is expected to take back one migrant for every migrant Europe takes from Turkey, Die Welt reports.

More than 77,000 migrants have arrived in Italy so far in 2017, an increase of 14 percent compared to 2016. The government is now accusing the European Union of “looking the other way” instead of offering support.

“Italy has reached saturation point,” an unnamed government source told Reuters. “The idea of blocking humanitarian ships flying foreign flags from returning to Italian ports has been discussed.”

Truckers Terrorised by Calais Migrants Hit With Huge Fines When Vehicles Are Boarded

Long-haul drivers being terrorised by migrants seeking illegal passage to Britain are being hit by 10 fines a day for failing to thwart stowaways.

3,522 penalties totalling £7.8 million were handed out in 2016/17, an increase of 12 per cent on the previous year, according to a report in The Sun newspaper.

Drivers complain of “facing a gauntlet of intimidation and fear” en route to Britain, as migrants armed with baseball bats, iron bars, and even guns attempt to storm their vehicles from their bases in and around Calais…

Many drivers are now “too scared” to inspect their vehicles, according to Road Hauliers Association (RHA) spokesman Rod McKenzie: “The Calais run is now a stressful, dangerous and sometimes downright terrifying experience for UK-bound lorry drivers.”…

Yet failing to check vehicles can see hauliers hit with fines of up to £2,000 per stowaway — a potentially crippling financial penalty.

UK Threatens to Close Jewish School for Not Teaching LGBT Agenda

A private haredi school with 212 students in northern London is in danger of being ordered to close after it failed its third inspection since February 2016 last month.

The school, which teaches haredi girls ages three to eight, was reported as not giving students “a full understanding of fundamental British values” because they do not teach the LGBT agenda.

Jewish law prohibits the homosexual act and only recognizes a marriage between a man and woman as a legitimate way to build a family.

According to the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services, and Schools (Ofsted), the girls “are not taught explicitly about issues such as sexual orientation. This restricts the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development and does not promote the equality of opportunity in ways that take account of differing lifestyles.”

School leaders “recognize the requirement to teach about the protected characteristics as set out in the Equality Act 2010,” the report continued. “However, they acknowledge that they do not teach pupils about all the protected characteristics, particularly those relating to gender re-assignment and sexual orientation. This means that pupils have a limited understanding of the different lifestyles and partnerships that individuals may choose in present-day society.”…

  1. Russia not attractive for immigration?

    Just look at the statistics and you will see that Russia’s population grows mostly by immigration.

    Or better, come to any big Russian city and you will notice that almost all street-cleaners, charwomen, road workers and a very large proportion of shop assistants, market vendors and suchlike have a distinctively non-Russian appearance.

    Russia attracts millions of Tajiks, Uzbeks and Kirghizes, not to mention huge numbers of Ukrainians and Moldavians whom you would not notice as they look exactly as Russians. Blacks are still rare though you would see some in Moscow and St Petersburg.

    • Anton, I have visited the RussiaFree website on many occasions, and by all accounts and from what I have gleaned and just from that site, that Russia has a BIG future and especially for those who would like to brave the elements and stake their own claim in those mostly uninhabited areas that the Russian Government now promotes.

      Brings to mind the exploits of Australia, Canada and the United States during the 19th Century. Many great tales to tell from those countries!

      • PS, to any hopeful emigrants into the Land of the Midnight Sun, I must apologize, for I have given you a bum steer in that Russian blogsite – it should be EnglishRussia – good luck, for it is an interesting site.

      • Yet the Russians live off their huge natural resources, but under-invest in technological training for the future, like the oil-rich Arab states.

  2. I’ve been following Loyd Finicum for quite some time. The arrogance of our government astonishes me and I truly hope to never come to their attention.

    • If you are on here, you already have.

      Since I am on the other side of the pond where speech is somewhat more free at the moment, a big middle finger to all the minders and censors in the slave states of Europe.

  3. Well done to Senator Pauline Hanson and those other Senators and ordinary Aussie citizens who have forced the Australian Government to finally legislate for Halal certification. Pauline, you are my heroine!

  4. “Elmo thinks it’s important to know that everybody is the same deep down and that’s very important.”

    And that is the Blank Slate lie that is at the heart of the Leftist project. They would have is believe that the heart of every Grinch will grow if only we believe and keep throwing money at them.
