Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/16/2017

The number of migrants arriving in Spain on a daily basis now exceeds the number arriving in Greece.

A Modern Multicultural Math problem for the gifted child:

The Spanish maritime rescue service brought 339 migrants safely to Spain. Each boat ferrying migrants carried an average of 48.43 passengers (not counting the crew). How many migrant boats had attempted to reach Spain? (The answer may be found in the “Immigration” section below.)

In other news, Austria has sent 70 soldiers to the Brenner Pass to help border police conduct checks on migrants attempting to cross the Alps from Italy.

Rick Wiles Issues an Extremely Ominous Warning: “The Alarms Are Ringing Again”

What you are about to read is going to absolutely shock you. Rick Wiles has done outstanding work over at TruNews for well over a decade, and now just days before the August 21st solar eclipse he has issued his most ominous warning ever. His warning is not directly related to the eclipse, but I find it extremely interesting that it is coming at approximately the same time, because many consider the eclipse itself to be some sort of warning. I was a TruNews listener way before I ever started The Economic Collapse Blog, and I know Rick’s track record. So I would take what follows very, very seriously…

Earlier today, I came across a New Yorker article entitled “Is America Headed for a New Kind of Civil War?” In that article, it was revealed that many top national security experts believe that there is a significant chance that civil war will erupt in the United States within the next 10 to 15 years…

[Comment: Balkanizing the USA is a globalist goal. A strong constitutional republic is a bulwark against globalist NWO tyranny. This is why globalist are using all their reptile brain triggering media to keep Alt-left in a constant rabid state.]

FBI Offers $30k Reward for Help in Probe of Bloomington Mosque Explosion

FBI says the investigation is its “top priority” in Minneapolis.

Calling the investigation its top priority, the FBI said Wednesday that it is offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of anyone responsible for the bombing of a Bloomington mosque this month.

The bureau’s Minneapolis division has been investigating the Aug. 5 explosion at the Dar Al Farooq Community Center. In a statement posted on Twitter Wednesday, the FBI said the new reward is unrelated to those offered by the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the local Muslim American Society.

The FBI said an “improvised explosive device” caused the blast, which occurred inside the office of an imam at the center. No one was hurt in the explosion, which was reported at 5:05 a.m., as about a dozen people gathered for predawn prayers that morning.

Agents from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) spent much of the day after the blast canvassing the site for evidence and interviewing witnesses. Gov. Mark Dayton described the blast as an “act of terrorism” while visiting the mosque alongside public officials.

Earlier this month, Special Agent in Charge Rick Thornton told reporters that while agents collected most of the evidence related to the explosive device, the FBI was still searching for a suspect and motive.

The FBI is still asking those with any information on the explosion to call 1-800-CALL-FBI, and thanked “the public for their cooperation and the critical information they have provided to our investigators.”

Man Stabbed by Antifa Mob Outside His Home for Not Condemning ‘Nazis’ Hard Enough

Labeled a “Nazi sympathizer.”

A Vermont man says he was stabbed outside his home by a group of five masked men armed with box cutters on Tuesday, after being labeled a “Nazi sympathizer” for denouncing attempts to ruin the life of a Unite the Right rally attendee — even though he himself strongly disavows white supremacy.

The victim, Sam Wormer, who identifies as neither right or left, is so concerned about the divide in the country that even after being attacked he wasn’t sure that his story should be told. Leftist friends of his confirmed to Big League Politics that he frequently sticks up for “marginalized members of the community.”

Ryan Roy, 28, appeared in the Vice News episode on the events over the weekend in Charlottesville. He was promptly doxed on Twitter and a social media campaign made sure that he was fired from his job at Pizzeria Uno. Additionally, the internet mob called child protective services in an effort to have his young baby removed from his care.

In an interview with Burlington Free Press, Wormer, his former friend and classmate, stated that he was “completely shocked” to see footage of Roy at the rally. The following comments would become the “justification” for being stabbed by five masked terrorists and labeled a “Nazi sympathizer.”

NY Governor Pushes ‘Charlottesville Provisions’ To Make Violent Protests a Hate Crime

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo wants the state to prosecute violent protests against “protected classes” as a hate crime, suggesting higher criminal penalties. His so-called “Charlottesville Provisions” are a response to the violence in Virginia.

Cuomo has proposed to amend the state’s hate crime laws to include rioting or incitement to riot against protected groups, according to the governor’s office.

New York law protects groups and individuals on the basis of race, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation.

Cuomo also suggested increasing penalties for engaging in a riot against the so-called protected groups.

Paul Craig Roberts on Charlottesville: “Identity Politics Always Leads to Violence, Americans Won’t be Spared”

Listening to NPR this morning confirmed what I already knew. Charlottesville is being turned into another nail in President Trump’s coffin.

NPR had no interest whatsoever in reporting the actual facts about what had occurred in Charlottesville. The several “interviews” with the like-minded were orchestrated to produce the desired propaganda result: It was all Trump’s fault.

It was Trump’s fault for many reasons.

He had stirred up White Supremacists and Nazis by appealing during the presidential election campaign to their supremacist views with his slogan “America first.”

Of course, what Trump means by “America first,” is precisely what the voters understood him to mean-the interest of the broad American public should come before trade deals that serve the interests of other countries and the narrow profit interests of global corporations. However, the NPR propagandists put words in Trump’s mouth and twisted the meaning of the slogan to be “White America Comes First.”

In other words, “America first” according to NPR is code language to white supremacists to take advantage of the electoral college and elect a leader over the popular vote of the heavy population densities in the narrow geographical areas that comprise the northeast and west coasts, the centers of moral rot. Thus, Trump was the candidate of white supremacists and, thereby, illegitimate.

NPR next conveyed the message that Trump proved he was the Nazis’ candidate when he criticized both sides for the trouble in Charlottesville. NPR used its orchestrated interviews to place all blame for violence on the group that had a permit for their rally. According to NPR, the group that had no permit and formed in order to protest the rally consisted entirely of white hats defending America from free speech from alleged Nazis and racists.

There is no doubt that a rally of what is called the “alt-right” will pull into itself all sorts of extremists and that the cause of the rally, apparently defending a statue of Robert E. Lee from demolition or perhaps simply gaining attention for the organizers, was done harm by the young, apparently unbalanced, man who drove a car into counter-marchers, after the permitted rally had ended. The nonsensical element of this act has convinced some Americans that the entire scene was an orchestration by the deep state as a weapon against Trump and civil liberty.

Charlottesville has many aspects that are ignored by NPR and the rest of the presstitutes:…

These Videos Show the Alt-Left Violence Trump Talked About During His Epic Press Conference

This is the “alt-left” violence the dishonest media is refusing to show.

While the media has refused to cover it and has spun the narrative the violence was one sided, the truth is both sides came prepared for war and the reason violence broke out is because police stood down and actually actively corralled the alt-right protesters into the alt-left antifa and Black Lives Matter activists.

[Comment: Excellent collection of videos reveal police funneled alt-right into alt-left to create a conflict leftist politicians would then use to fully blame alt-right while hiding the real violence of alt-left.

This is Why We Prepare: Terrorists Publish Plan to Strike a Critical Part of America’s Infrastructure

ISIS’strategy for fighting the West has certainly brought terrorism into the 21st century. Their battlefield is shifting away from the real world and into social media, where they can indoctrinate people living in the West, and convince them to carry out terror attacks in their name. And rather than being sophisticated attacks that cause mass casualties, ISIS promotes multiple smaller attacks that can be spread out throughout a targeted country. It’s easier to cause these kinds of incidents, and a lot harder for authorities to foil them.

It’s a strategy that is as simple as it is brilliant. They can wreak havoc on the societies that oppose them with little cost, and without lifting a finger.

It’s such an effective strategy that it’s now being picked up by other terror groups like Al-Qaeda. Ibrahim al-Asiri, who is the group’s chief bomb maker, recently published a document in a magazine (it should be noted that the idea of a terrorist group having a slick magazine is also borrowed from ISIS) that shows any would-be lone wolf terrorist how to inflict mayhem on a critical component of America’s infrastructure.

Trump Turns His Fire on Ceos Who Quit His Manufacturing Board for Making Products Abroad and Attacks Walmart CEO Causing a Fifth Member to Resign

President Trump claimed the CEOs who quit his manufacturing board over his response to the violence in Charlottesville really did so because they were embarrassed their products weren’t made in the USA.

‘Because they are not taking their job seriously as it pertains to this country,’ Trump blasted when asked by a reporter why four CEOs had dropped out since Monday morning, starting with the only African-American member of the group, Kenneth Frazier of Merck.

Shortly after Trump’s messy Trump Tower press conference, the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka resigned ‘effective immediately,’ he tweeted.

‘I have to tell you that some of the people who will leave, they’re leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside and I’ve been lecturing them,’ Trump said of the fleeing CEOs.

Update: Police Identify Kennewick Man Killed in Sword Attack

Kennewick police identified the man wielding a sword who was shot and killed by officers Sunday night.

Hussein Hassan, 46, of Kennewick, was walking on Olympia Street near 10th Avenue with the sword about 6:30 p.m. Witnesses said he seemed to be trying to hide the weapon with a newspaper.

When Kennewick Officer Jason Kiel got out of his car to talk with him, Hassan charged and started hitting Kiel in the head with the sword.

Just then, a second officer, Joshua Kuhn arrived. Kiel managed to pull back and both policemen drew their weapons and fired at Hassan.

Hassan was taken to Trios Southridge Hospital, where he died, said a police news release. Kiel suffered a head injury and was treated at Trios and later released.

Benton County Coroner John Hansens said a formal autopsy for Hassan is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The Tri-City Special Investigations Unit is continuing its investigation into the shooting. The special unit includes officers from other law enforcement agencies in the area. The agency involved in the shooting does not participate.

Kuhn and Kiel are on paid administrative leave pending the investigation.

Why the Destruction of the Durham Confederate Monument is So Despicable

Ever since the Charleston Church shooting, the Left has been obsessed with purging every element of Confederate iconography in this country. No flag, statue, or bumper sticker has been safe. They want it all gone. The fact that most people who sport the Confederate flag aren’t racist at all, and merely view the flag as a totem of southern pride, matters not. The fact that statues of Confederate soldiers and generals are a part of our history, also doesn’t matter. To people who view everything in life through the lens of race and oppression, these symbols are offensive and must be erased.

This irrational rage culminated this week after the protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, which was a rally to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, turned violent and led to the murder of a one counter-protester at the hands of James Fields.

In response to that incident, a seething leftist mob gathered around a Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina on Monday, and tore it down.

There are of course, several things that are seriously wrong with what they did.

First, we have to think about what this obsession with destroying Confederate monuments will lead to. If we’re going to erase every monument to people who owned slaves or were just racist, where does the buck stop? How long before these people start to demand that we tear down monuments to every founding father who owned slaves (of which there were many)?

It seems likely that whoever was leading this event, was probably not actually concerned about the association with this monument to racism. The end goal of these leftists is to tear down our history, and only recognize major American figures for the worst things they did. They want us to hate and demean the people who built this country, and preferably, erase them from the history books. Tearing down Confederate monuments is just the first step.

Insanity: Denmark Gives Homes and Jobs to Former ISIS Thugs for “Hug a Terrorist” Campaign

There’s a very simple principle that helps form the bedrock of any prosperous and civilized society. When people do bad things, they should be punished for it. The moment that rule is turned upside down, and the wicked and weak are rewarded for their behavior, society will crumble. There’s no way around it. Every society that rewards bad behavior is on the fast track to destruction.

You might think that would be obvious, but there are plenty of nations throughout history that have fallen under the weight of corruption, in one form or another. Our species has made this mistake countless times. We never learn, and we always pay for it.

Next on the chopping block of history is Denmark, where the police in the city of Aarhus are now essentially rewarding people who have been accused of being terrorists.

Denmark’s second largest city is attempting to tackle terrorism by offering jihadists “empathy” in a programme dubbed “hug a terrorist.”

Whilst Danes who have fought against Islamic State have been threatened with jail on their return from Syria, terrorists are being offered enormous privileges, including apartments, education, and jobs, to encourage them to rejoin society.

Proponents of the police-run scheme in Aarhus say that jihadists are “isolated” and struggling to integrate, and claim that offering them kindness and forgiveness will deter them from their murderous ideology.

However, Danish politician Naser Khader, a Muslim born in Syria, says it sends the wrong message and rewards terrorists who have effectively made war on the West and its values.

He told Australian news programme Dateline the “hug a terrorist” model tells young Muslims: “Go out and do something criminal, be jihadis, you will get a lot of privilege from the society. That’s wrong in my opinion.”

If you applied this approach to literally any other crime you would be heavily criticized by everyone else in society, and for good reason. You wouldn’t give a thief a job, a rapist a free education, or a murderer an apartment. In any decent society these people are thrown in prison. Only after they’ve paid for their crimes, should you even consider helping them readjust to society. Furthermore, if you’re going to reward terrorism, then why bother punishing anyone for anything? Why bother keeping any bad behavior in check?

It’s just common sense. Unfortunately, common sense is quickly dwindling in the Western world.

UK: Sarah Champion Forced Out of Jeremy Corbyn’s Shadow Cabinet After Warning Pakistani Men Are Raping White Girls

Jeremy Corbyn has forced one of his senior ministers to resign after she claimed that some Pakistani men groom and rape young white girls, it has emerged.

Sarah Champion, the Labour MP for Rotherham and former shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, was asked to resign after writing an article in The Sun newspaper warning that more must be done to stop gangs of Pakistani men targeting young girls for sex.

Issuing a desperate plea she called on the Government to investigate why so many men who share the same cultural background are behind bars for abusing young girls.

But following the Labour leader’s demand Ms Champion stepped down from Mr Corbyn’s top team.

A source close to Mr Corbyn confirmed he requested she leave his top team, adding that it was not appropriate for Ms Champion to have suggested that Pakistani men are largely responsible for the grooming and rape of young white girls.

Ms Champion apologised for her “extremely poor choice of words” and said she was concerned that continuing in her shadow cabinet role would distract from the “crucial issues” around child protection.

Indian, Chinese Soldiers Clash Following Alleged Chinese “Incursion”

In what may be the first documented clash between Chinese and Indian soldiers who have been piling up across the border between the two nations, Reuters reports that “Indian and Chinese soldiers were involved in an altercation” in the western Himalayas on Tuesday, “further raising tensions between the two countries which are already locked in a two-month standoff in another part of the disputed border.”

While there has been no official confirmation yet by either India or China, a Reuters source in New Delhi who was briefed on the military situation on the border, said Indian soldiers “foiled a bid by a group of Chinese troops to enter Indian territory in Ladakh, near the Pangong lake.” He added that some of the Chinese soldiers carried iron rods and stones, and in the melee there were minor injuries on both sides, the source said.

“There was an altercation near the Pangong lake,” said a police officer in Srinagar, the capital of India’s Jammu and Kashmir state, under which the area falls. An army source in Srinagar, quoted by Reuters, spoke of an altercation following what he called a Chinese army “incursion in Pangong lake area”. This fresh standoff at Pangong Tso lake in Ladakh comes in the backdrop of tensions between Indian and Chinese troops over Doklam plateau in Sikkim sector with the PLA skipping the ceremonial border meetings on Independence Day.

It’s Not Over: “How the US Could Lose a War Against North Korea and End Up in Ruins”

There have been a lot of theories as to why North Korea is keeping its options open, and one that is very plausible has to do with what we (the U.S.) did in both Libya and Iraq to overthrow their leadership respectively. Un is not going to be toppled in that manner. The “sanctions” are not going to work. In addition to this, China has stated that if the U.S. attacks North Korea first, that they (China) will prevent it from happening. If North Korea attacks, they will remain neutral. Supposedly they will remain neutral.

One thing I wish to mention for your consideration. There is so much focus placed on the immediate area of conflict…the bolstering of forces on Guam, two U.S. aircraft carriers heading toward the Korean coast, and the Japanese and South Koreans conducting training exercises with American forces…that attention is taken away from Un’s primary target. That target is the United States. While the diversionary action (3 or 4 nukes “busted” in the vicinity) takes place, either a submarine off the California coast or an ICBM can deliver the big payoff, as I’ve mentioned before:

The next world war will be initiated by an EMP strike against the U.S., followed by an exchange of nuclear weapons and then with war between conventional forces.

Allow Dr. Pry’s words, here, to “sink in” to help you formulate a judgment on the subject and a plan. The article by Dr. Pry is important for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, for who he is: this man is America’s foremost expert on the EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) threat against the United States. Secondly, as an analyst pursuing such matters in the Central Intelligence Agency and the lead spokesperson to Congress on that threat, he is well aware of the significance of such an attack both against the U.S. and regionally (against Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. forces in the area). It is within both perspectives that Dr. Pry addresses the topic, and he makes a plea to the President at the end of it.

“This does not mean,” local police chief Helmut Tomac said, “that Panzers will be deployed there as well.” Austria has threatened in the past to shut the Brenner Pass if Italy were to give migrants humanitarian visas to travel across Europe, a possibility Rome has aired but since ruled out.

Meanwhile Premier Paolo Gentiloni called for “a greater European effort to face the migrant phenomenon which has a structural dimension and concerns the entire European Union”, in a reply to a July 25 letter from European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Gentiloni said “it is fundamental that the EU’s member States should agree to finance in a significant way, already before the European council meeting in October, the EU trust fund for Africa, also to support the activity of the UNHCR and the IOM in Libya”.

Italy is sparing no energy on the migrant crisis, Gentiloni said Wednesday told Juncker. “Italy is not sparing any energy to respond, with a national mobilisation, to the challenges” of the migrant crisis, the premier wrote. Gentiloni said “we appreciate the European Commission’s determination to be at Italy’s side (on migrants) and maintain a constant dialogue with the Italian authorities, through the permanent contact group coordinated by your Cabinets in Brussels”.

European Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos told ANSA Wednesday the EC was “strongly committed to supporting Italy and will continue to work closely with Italian authorities to immediately enact the proposed supplementary measures” on relocations, repatriations and asylum procedures. He said “we are counting on the support of all the member States in this work and in showing solidarity with Italy”.

Chicago Immigration Lawsuit Fraught With Errors, Inconsistencies, Illogic

A closer look at the lawsuit that Chicago filed against Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week over his threat to withhold grant money reveals enough errors, inconsistencies, and just plain poor logic that might be enough for the judge to toss it, with prejudice.

Mapped: The New Back Door Route Migrants Are Taking to Reach Europe

MIGRANTS making the treacherous journey into Europe are increasingly using an elaborate alternative route to avoid the authorities.

The migrants, who are often led by ruthless people traffickers, are going through the Black Sea to outwit the authorities.

Police have launched a clampdown on the Black Sea route, which has seen at least 69 Iraqi migrants arrested on their way to the Romanian Black Sea coast from Turkey in the latest crackdown.

Study Suggests Drugging Up Germans to Accept More Migrants

Drugging up Germans with oxytocin will help make them “friendlier” to migrants and more susceptible to open borders, a study suggested.

Oxytocin, known as the “cuddle hormone” due to its generosity effects on humans, was suggested as part of a “treatment” for Germans who oppose EU migrant quotas, according to University of Bonn researchers.

“It appears that pairing oxytocin with a social norm can help counter the effects of xenophobia by enhancing altruistic behavior toward refugees,” the study stated.

The leader researcher, Prof. Rene Hurlemann, claimed that “given the right circumstances, oxytocin may help promote the acceptance and integration of migrants into Western cultures.”

In other words, let’s just drug Germans into accepting a globalist agenda.

Study: 70 Percent of Germans Would Send Mediterranean Migrants Back

A new study has revealed that the vast majority of Germans do not see the migrants coming across the Mediterranean as legitimate refugees and want to see them deported back to North Africa.

The study, conducted by research institute Civey shows that 69.8 per cent of Germans do not regard the migrants rescued and transported by NGOs in the Mediterranean as legitimate refugees despite claims from the NGOs themselves.

  1. If the vast majority of Germans want to see recent migrants deported, then why are they voting for the same politicians and parties who will not do this? Why is Merkel expected to be re-elected?

    • Don`t you know that ALL elections are rigged. We in Slovenia were informed three months in advance and about three weeks before the winning party (SMC) was even founded which political party would win the elections (with almost exact percentage!). And the pre-election rallies of the winning party were a big farse; there was literally nobody present.

    • They are brainwashed last 100 years..Currently 5-th generation..
      Not able to see Reality how it is..
      4 mln German women was raped by Soviet soldiers with pregnancy ..adding lost life by millions of German (pure blood) man no wonder who are the “germans” today..Add millions Turks,Arabs and African migrated last 70 years to Germany as “Ghastarbaiters” you got the answer who present “germans” are and what is the composition of their society..and why they making political choices such as…

      • The best German males were lost at places like the Somme, Ypres, Stalingrad, Kursk, and the Ardennes.

        • Ah, the horror: the cream of all European manhood began to be killed off in all those places – for TWO generations – leaving the weak, the halt and the blind to reproduce instead.

      • The absolute majority of those children born of rape died. It was a very harsh time for everybody, and nobody wanted the burden of bastards of the occupier.

    • I believe it is the case of the public being misled by the propaganda in the media.

      • I still have difficulty with this idea though I have frequently ascribed Europe’s stalled politics to this supposed blindness. I still think willful blindness best explains matters (as well as slavish devotion to the welfare state, inter alia).

        However, the thought does sometime intrude that massive vote fraud is the better explanation. The former view requires belief in a massive stupidity. Still, with Sweden as the lode star, stupidity says it all.

        Merkel by a landslide!

      • you are [joking] yes?
        How can you even imagine , when surrounded by black muslim africans that rape and steal… when as a woman or child one cannot get out safely of ones house… how can you even say such thinks?
        they are stupid and retards and deserve their destiny

    • I would wager that Merkel’s re-election probabilty is more Globalist tinkering than electoral feeling – however the outcome – Germany is now at a crossroads in what direction it wishes to take.

      The choices:

      1.The Globalist path and more of Merkel and the complete destruction of Germany via eventual replacement by immigrants of the German people or by civil war.

      2. The realization that to continue as they are now doing has to change and Merkel and her Globalist cronies have to go.

      But, I won’t hold my breath on the second option.

    • It’s a sad commentary on the Wall coming down. Merkel, trained at a Marxist university, came for the East and claims to be a Christian. Her prime opponent is also a Marxist in the SDP party. Not much of a choice. The US has had similar choices between our Left and RINO’s who give the Left half of the loaf all the time.

  2. “NPR had no interest whatsoever in reporting the actual facts about what had occurred in Charlottesville. The several “interviews” with the like-minded were orchestrated to produce the desired propaganda result: It was all Trump’s fault.”

    The BBC also reported the Charlottesville incident in similar terms. They ignored the fact that anifas is a multinational, hard left organisation that feels it has the right to assemble en masse and beat, bludgeon and thrash anyone who would dare to express an opinion contrary to theirs. As for Black Lives Matter, they have been using the race card to justify similar behaviour yet the BBC seeks to legitimise both groups. BLM is also funded by a Soros backed NGO.

    The BBC has been a propagandist for leftism for a long time.

    • Not just the BBC; I’ve been parallel reading both the US MSM and the UK one* – the latter are simply parroting, often verbatim, the dissembling garbage pumped out by the former.

      *BBC, ITV, The Times, the Daily Mail, the Daily Express, the Independent (to a slightly lesser extent) and the Manchester Al-Jazera Guardian.

  3. “A Labour MP has resigned from the shadow cabinet after saying Britain has “a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”.”

    Sarah Champion was spokesperson for Women and Equalities in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet and was one of the few sensible, non-marxist members of that less than august body.

    In making a statement that was the unvarnished truth in an article in the UK popular press, her marxist leader asked for her resignation. Sarah Champion has also been pursuing cases involving other young girls in a similar position who have been failed by the Police and the Local Authority. There is still a culture of concealment in both those bodies by people fearing to be labelled racist by the perpetrators and their political supporters. Sarah Champion has expressed the intention of going after those people and bringing them to justice. I wish her success.

    To be accused of wrongdoing just because she told the truth is an act that harks back to the dark days of Stalinism and is indicative of how far the UK has allowed itself to be flushed down the marxist toilet by PC/MC practitioners.

    I am glad I left the UK. It’s politicians disgust me.

    • I entirely agree. But why did she apologize?

      First she says: “Britain has a problem with British-Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls.”

      Next day, after being thrown under the bus by the Marxist, Palestine- supporting, nasty piece of work, Corbyn, she says: “I apologise for the offence caused by the extremely poor choice of words in The Sun article on Friday.”

      What poor choice of words? The British public of hypocrites and cowards NEEDS to be offended! Not only offended, but kicked sharply up the backside and their ears boxed, for averting their eyes from the moral iniquity taking place under their very noses.

      What Britain lacks is courageous leadership. Fortunately, the USA has Trump, Israel has Netanyahu and Hungary has Orban – the only brave leaders left.

  4. Will the “cuddle hormone”Oxytocin,be given to the illegal immigrands also so that they will start to behave with altruism or the intention of giving this drug only to us, is to “enjoy” rape and killing ?

    • I have to wonder…are Western European states already administering this or a similar chemical to the public water supply and selected food items?

      Any readers have the skills and lab access to confirm this – it would go a long way towards explaining the current insanity in the West.

  5. News of the Decade !!!

    Prof. Rene Hurlemann from the Department of Psychiatry, University of Bonn Medical Center It appears that pairing oxytocin with a social norm can help counter the effects of xenophobia/Islamophobia by enhancing altruistic behavior toward refugees,
    It appears that pairing oxytocin with a social norm can help counter the effects of xenophobia by enhancing altruistic behavior toward refugees. “The combined enhancement of oxytocin and peer influence could diminish selfish motives,” says Hurlemann.

    • Yes, chemically-enhanced Eloi are just what the West needs…

      ….if the West wants to exponentially increase the rate of its own demise

  6. I would argue that Dick Smith is an intelligent businessman who understands that people create culture.

    You import Third World people, you get vibrant Third World culture.

    It’s very sad that progressives do not understand this simple concept.

  7. Re: the Mosque Bombing

    If I finger the Imam for an inside job, and I’m right, I actually get $30,000? Is that with or without a 1099? What odds do the British bookmakers offer?

    Re: our Historical Statuary

    Is anyone surprised that CAIR wants to erase everyone else’s history? What are these throwbacks even doing inside the UnIslamic States of America? Contrary to their demands, we have no intention of undoing the passage of time. They belong to the Past, and that is where I want them sent.

    • Islam and the cultural Marxists have an inherent need to cleanse all other histories, ideas, and systems of thought because they know their own ideologies are failures from step one.

  8. «Drugging up Germans with oxytocin will help make them “friendlier”..»
    If it works inject it in ‘refugees’ -they need it much more!

  9. An article about immigrants in Spain and then there is an attack in Barcelona. How prescient!

  10. “You are not prosecuting me, you are prosecuting the Quran.

    Well … duh! According to existing standards (which I do not necessarily agree with) an Islamic war manual so chockablock with such hate speech deserves legal prosecution.

    Now, if the Muslims would just STFU and sit down, then I might agree to giving the Koran equal time with (for example) the Bible and Torah.

    Instead, these Islamic sociocultural termites deserve no more respect than David Duke and his merry band of genocidal, pro-Mufti, racist, Antisemites.

    How I desperately wish for properly enforced and true Freedom of Speech that would permit all of these ideological doctrines to fairly compete in the free Marketplace of Ideas.

    Everyone knows that Islam would have the proverbial, “snowball’s chance in Hades” when put up against Christianity, Buddhism, Zen, Taoism, Animism, Hinduism, Whirling Dervishes, Mazdakism, and every other creed including devout Atheists.

    It is only at sword-point that Islam continues to have (or ever has had) the slightest chance of success against charismatic-based faiths like the Thuggee cult or Hashshashins.

  11. The number of migrants arriving in Spain on a daily basis now exceeds the number arriving in Greece.

    This is the proverbial “balloon problem”. As in, sitting on this all-too-flexible, partially inflated sack of semi-liquid crap will merely drive much of it into other corners and not manage to squash the central problem.

    Intervening at entry points in Italy or Greece will simply drive whatever continuing influx towards Spain, Hungary, or whatever other weak-link-in-the-chain there is on the Mediterranean coast.

    When these over-crowded rafts of opportunistic parasites are sunk in open waters, perhaps then some sense of discouragement might overtake these hordes of opportunists.

    Do I wish such harm upon those who seek a “better life”? Most certainly not. Do I wish that hard-working indigenous Europeans experience such a perpetual drain upon their lifetime contributions to whatever respective Socialist governments they worked for? Even more emphatically NOT.

    Balance that in whichever way you will.

    • Many years ago – probably more than three decades by now – I read a long essay in The Atlantic – long before digital mags were even a bump on the horizon. It described the problems Spain would face as desperate illegal immigrants swam to Spain’s shores by the dozens every week. I recall my surprise at that revelation. I never forgot the author’s prediction of coming mayhem and murder.

      • this even began in the late 70 ies. In the Catalonia province, people employed more and more Africans as workers in the fruit plantations, most of all to replace the andalusian migrants.One farmer there, a man I had known for years before, told me that for the Africans you need one warden per head, but two for an Andalusian to make them work.
