Gates of Vienna News Feed 9/10/2017

Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Florida Keys as a Category 4 storm, doing extensive damage. It then crossed to the mainland and made landfall again on the west coast of Florida, passing directly over Naples and Tampa.

In other news, the two arrested “Frenchmen” who had established a bomb factory in the suburbs of Paris wanted to join ISIS, according to the public prosecutor. The men intended to build a bomb and commit a terrorist attack. Their evil plans had nothing to do with Islam.

The Government Debt Paradox: Pick Your Poison

“Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” said President Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in November of 2008. “They are opportunities to do big things.”

At the time of his remark, Emanuel was eager to exploit the 2008 financial crisis to raid the public treasury. With the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009, Emanuel’s wish was granted. The Obama administration had the opportunity to do big things.

Politically, the passage of the Recovery Act was a huge success. Washington was able to dole out funds to their preferred projects like never before. What could be better for a Congressman than to direct massive amounts of funds to infrastructure, healthcare, energy, security, law enforcement, and just about everything else?

Some Congressman even directed money to bridges and buildings that were then named after them. No doubt, this flattered their egos. But what it really did was memorialize their political swindle.

Economically, the Recovery Act was a great big dud. The money was frittered away without producing any lasting wealth. However, it did produce lasting debt. Since the Recovery Act’s passage, the U.S. national debt has nearly doubled from roughly $10.6 trillion to nearly $20 trillion…

Of all modern economic dogmas, perhaps the most broadly accepted is the belief that the government can spend the economy to growth using debt. Certainly, government spending redirects economic growth to government preferred industries. So, too, when government spending is financed via deficits, it grows inflation.

But government stimulus doesn’t grow the economy. How could it? Aside from reams of legislation, levies, and fees, the government doesn’t produce a doggone thing.

To the contrary, the government usurps capital and uses it in ways that it otherwise wouldn’t be. Specifically, the government uses its heavy hand to distribute capital in ways that absent coercion, people wouldn’t pay for. These generally equate to value subtracting endeavors.

Venezuela is About to Ditch the Dollar in Major Blow to US: Here’s Why it Matters

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Thursday that Venezuela will be looking to “free” itself from the U.S. dollar next week, Reuters reports. According to the outlet, Maduro will look to use the weakest of two official foreign exchange regimes (essentially the way Venezuela will manage its currency in relation to other currencies and the foreign exchange market), along with a basket of currencies.

According to Reuters, Maduro was referring to Venezuela’s current official exchange rate, known as DICOM, in which the dollar can be exchanged for 3,345 bolivars. At the strongest official rate, one dollar buys only 10 bolivars, which may be one of the reasons why Maduro wants to opt for some of the weaker exchange rates…

A theory advanced in William R. Clark’s book Petrodollar Warfare — and largely ignored by the mainstream media — essentially asserts that Washington-led interventions in the Middle East and beyond are fueled by the direct effect on the U.S. dollar that can result if oil-exporting countries opt to sell oil in alternative currencies. For example, in 2000, Iraq announced it would no longer use U.S. dollars to sell oil on the global market. It adopted the euro, instead.

By February 2003, the Guardian reported that Iraq had netted a “handsome profit” after making this policy change. Despite this, the U.S. invaded not long after and immediately switched the sale of oil back to the U.S. dollar.

In Libya, Muammar Gaddafi was punished for a similar proposal to create a unified African currency backed by gold, which would be used to buy and sell African oil. Though it sounds like a ludicrous reason to overthrow a sovereign government and plunge the country into a humanitarian crisis, Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails confirmed this was the main reason Gaddafi was overthrown.

Ann Coulter Stuns the Establishment by Posting This Message on Twitter: ‘Michael Snyder for Congress!’

I was absolutely floored when I learned what had happened. On Saturday night I was going through my emails, and I discovered that one of my supporters had sent me a message informing me that Ann Coulter had mentioned me in a tweet. I wondered if that could possibly be true, so I immediately went to Twitter to confirm it. It turns out that she had come across an article on Conservative Firing Line in which I had mentioned her, and along with retweeting that article she included the following message: “Michael Snyder For Congress!”

Michael Snyder for Congress! https://t.co/TZSv1Lp39h

Needless to say, the political establishment up here in Idaho is not going to like that one bit. I have been told over and over again that I am “too conservative” for Idaho, and the RINOs definitely do not want prominent conservatives on the national level getting behind me. Because there is no incumbent, this is a totally wide open race, but many of the “establishment Republicans” in this state would rather have a steaming pile of garbage win than see me take this seat.

They don’t like me because I am unconventional, I am a fighter, and I am not afraid to stand up to members of my own party. I am very open about the fact that if I win I plan to campaign against RINOs all over the nation, and so as you can imagine that is not making me a lot of friends among the establishment. That is why I need your help. The establishment money is not going to get behind me, so in order to win this must be a grassroots effort. If you would like to contribute to the campaign, you can do so here…

Antifa Launch Smoke Bombs at Portland Police

Self-described “anti-fascists” (or “Antifa”) launched smoke bombs and other projectiles at Portland police officers and attacked photographers documenting their actions on Sunday, law enforcement officers said.

Left-wing agitators descended upon Portland in response to a “Patriot Prayer” rally on Sunday. Antifa members reportedly launched smoke bombs and other projectiles at police officers, who arrested at least seven people, according to the Portland Police Department, which documented the violence on Twitter. At least two police officers were injured in the violence.

Author: ‘Real Hardcore Violence’ Coming in 2020

Describes how leftist movement antifa has normalized beating, kicking, shoving

At the forefront of anti-Trump violence is antifa, the movement of militant radical left-wing “anti-fascists” who violently confront people they perceive to be white supremacists, neo-Nazis, fascists or members of other right-wing groups.

Greer does not primarily blame any wealthy or powerful left-wing leaders for fueling antifa’s rise; rather, he said they are mostly full of organic rage.

“When it comes to antifa, most of that is coming from your average leftist being so unhinged and mentally deranged by Trump winning that they literally believe a fascist dictator is in charge of the White House and they have to stop him by any means necessary,” Greer explained.

The rise of antifa has prompted leftists all over the Internet to ponder the question, “Is it OK to punch a Nazi?” Many of them have answered in the affirmative.

But some antifa members also hold liberals in contempt; Greer pointed to the spray painted antifa slogan “Liberals get the bullet too.”

Greer believes antifa is more extreme than Black Lives Matter. He noted Black Lives Matter has tamped down its actions and its rhetoric during the Trump era, probably because they sense the Trump Justice Department will come down hard on them if they stir up any trouble. But the antifa feel no such inhibitions.

“They are definitely more willing to use violence, more lethal violence,” Greer said. “Black Lives Matter was more stirring up riots and kind of the unrest in city streets. Antifa is more about directed violence, where they’re actually going to go out and attack their enemies and possibly use lethal violence. It’s surprising that nobody has yet to die from this violence, and I think maybe by year’s end, maybe within a year, somebody will have died due to antifa violence.”…

“Really the only thing that’s going to start dissuading them is to see serious prison sentences,” Greer posited. “They have to know if they show up and start committing acts of violence, that they’re going to go to jail for a long time. And once that happens on a consistent basis, I think you’ll start to see the momentum for antifa depleted severely.”

Bannon: McConnell, Ryan ‘Trying to Nullify the 2016 Election’

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told CBS this week that Washington’s “Republican establishment,” including the top GOP leaders in both houses of Congress, “is trying to nullify the 2016 election.”

That more traditional Republicans are looking to undermine President Donald Trump, Bannon said, is as “obvious as night follows day.”

“The Republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election. That’s a brutal fact we have to face,” Bannon said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that will air on Sunday. Bannon’s interviewer, CBS anchor Charlie Rose, responded by asking the former White House adviser to name names.

“I think Mitch McConnell, and to a degree, Paul Ryan. They do not want Donald Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda to be implemented,” Bannon replied. “It’s obvious as night follows day is what they’re trying to do.”

Black American Says Antifa Must Not be Tolerated

Moving to a tiny town in the hills of West Virginia took me out of the loop for about a month; no TV or internet with horrible cell phone service and too much static on the radio to listen to Rush. Upon finally getting back on line, I learned that the airways have been dominated by a bunch of scumbag haters calling themselves Antifa.

I’m a black original member of the Tea Party movement, singer/songwriter of the “American Tea Party Anthem.” Outrageously, fake news media grants respect to Antifa which is boldly and arrogantly inciting hate and engaging in violence which fake news media falsely accused the Tea Party of doing. Fake news media’s insidious deception is the epitome of evil.

Antifa terrorists throw Molotov cocktails, urinate on police cars, burn our flag, destroy public property and physically assault anyone who disagrees with them. In my history of speaking and performing at over 500 Tea Party rallies, rally sites were left cleaner than we found them. Grandmothers typically brought cookies to share with our team. And yet, fake news media insultingly gives Antifa moral high ground over the Tea Party.

I probably sound like a broken record repeating myself. Time after time, fake news media has shown us that they have no intention of being honest, fair or balanced. Their sole purpose is to further their Leftists’ homey’s anti-American and anti-Christian socialist/progressive agenda. Being blatantly hypocritical does not deter fake news media in the least. They will do or say whatever necessary to defeat us everyday Americans; remove Trump from office to block the implementation of his make America great again agenda. Given this truth, why on earth would anyone on our side attempt to work with or please fake news media? It is insane.

Death of the GOP Establishment

Ever since the election of Donald Trump we have seen both side of the isle go into meltdown. Most of the hatred and vitriol is from the liberals who are seeing their power structure torn down. When you really look at it Donald Trump is doing everything for the betterment of the American people and the country as a whole. The Democrats are against everything Donald Trump is doing. Let that sink in for a while.

The surprising resistance is from the Republican elite. Jeb Bush thought it was his turn. He’s part of the globalists that have infiltrated the Republican Party. Globalist believe that America must join with the rest of the world and do things that benefit the world as a whole and not just the American people. Fools that they are don’t see that allowing America to be what America has always been is the best benefit to the world.

We see that the Republican Party is full of those that want what the Democrats want, open borders, trade deals that benefit other nations instead of America. When Trump announced his bid for the presidency the 16 candidates were all globalists. He beat them all. He beat them because Americans want to keep America sovereign. Most Americans want the United States out of the United Nations. It has become nothing but a bully platform for Islamic nations and the far left agenda that is bent on a One World Government.

There are complaints that Trump is not getting anything done. That is not all his fault. The majority of the blame falls on the shoulders of two RINO leaders in Congress, Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative Paul Ryan. IF they were true leaders of their Party they would be pushing the president’s agenda instead of the Party’s agenda. It was Trumps agenda that the people voted for not the globalist agenda of the Republican elites.

Deep State Now So Massive That Congress Has to Hire Ex-Spooks and Spies Just to Keep Up

As reported by McClatchy papers:

Lawmakers assigned to oversee the sprawling U.S. intelligence apparatus rely strongly on a staff that in recent years has included scores of onetime spooks, analysts and lawyers who previously worked at the spy agencies under scrutiny.

According to a comprehensive analysis by McClatchy, at least one-third, and perhaps far more, of the professional staff members who carry out the work of the House and Senate intelligence committees are themselves veterans of the agencies that the two panels oversee.

That reliance raises questions about how effectively the two oversight committees carry out supervision of a swelling intelligence empire that now employs some 107,000 people with a combined budget projected to reach $78.4 billion next year.

Supporters say such a large, complex security apparatus is needed to thwart a repeat of Sept. 11, 2001. So far, such an attack has not been repeated.

But in the interim, we’ve had scandal after scandal involving spying on American citizens by the NSA, FBI and other agencies, as well as the politicization of the security state by former President Obama, who misused it to undermine the campaign of then-GOP nominee Donald J. Trump. Some say the security state — the Deep State — is continuing to undermine Trump even today.

Freeman Answers Questions in Damond Shooting

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman told a neighborhood meeting in southwest Minneapolis Sunday that Justine Damond’s shooting by a Minneapolis police officer shouldn’t have happened.

“I’m saddened by the death of this fine young woman,” Freeman said. “It didn’t have to happen. It shouldn’t have happened.”

Damond, 40, a native of Australia who was engaged to be married, was shot and killed July 15 by officer Mohamed Noor when she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her Fulton neighborhood home.

“)

Since then, her friends and neighbors have demanded information about the investigation, which is being conducted by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Sunday’s meeting was part of series of public meetings in the aftermath of the shooting.

Freeman said he was “honor-bound” not to talk about the evidence collected in the investigation. “I only talk about evidence that’s in the charging documents.”…

Good Lord, Why Do Americans Put Up With Corruption?

Last week in our article entitled “The Distorted Window Through Which Americans Perceive Reality” we talked about the great goodness in the American people. The American people ARE good and generous, as donations of food, clothing, money and volunteers to the Hurricane Harvey victims attest. The outpouring of neighbor helping neighbor during this national calamity is inspiring. And yes, local, state and the federal government are stepping up to the plate as well with leadership, equipment and money. Nevertheless, we wonder why Americans cannot see how tyrannical government has become and how many freedoms we have lost since we drifted away from self-reliance, individual responsibility and constitutional liberties.

We allow hordes of illegal aliens to invade our country every day and say we can’t do anything about it because we must be compassionate, without acknowledging the dire consequences that that irrational compassion will inflict upon us. Obama, with his executive orders, has made matters far worse.

We allow our government to slap chains on our wrists and ankles with millions of laws, rules and regulations, without so much as a whimper.

We allow national and international socialism and radical environmentalism to tear down the very foundation of our sovereignty and freedom while we look the other way.

We allow our children to be indoctrinated and brainwashed with the new international, one-world social order and environmental and religious extremism and say we don’t have the time to get involved.

Islamist Propaganda Coming Soon to Local Newspaper Near You

Journalism project claims hate crime committed against mosques ‘about once every 3 days’

An investigative journalism center is passing off as fact a report by the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations that hate crimes against American mosques jumped sharply in 2015 and continue to occur at historically high rates — about once every three days.

ProPublica is a New York City-based nonprofit journalism center partially funded by billionaire George Soros that shares data-driven investigative stories with newspapers of all sizes and local TV stations across the United States.

(See list of more than 100 U.S. newspapers, websites and TV stations that “partner” with the Soros-backed ProPublica.)

But ProPublica’s newest project on hate crimes is raising eyebrows because of its reliance on a questionable source for its data. The report says more than 370 “hate incidents” directed at U.S. mosques and Islamic centers have been catalogued by CAIR since April 2013.

“Most of the incidents are threats to worshippers’ lives or acts of vandalism,” according to the report, which depends solely on CAIR for its list of anti-Muslim hate crimes.

CAIR, which ProPublica refers to as simply “a civil rights group,” has been tied to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood and the terrorist organization Hamas. Federal prosecutors named CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial that was prosecuted during the Bush administration, and nearly a dozen of CAIR’s leaders and former leaders have been charged and/or convicted of terror-related crimes.

Judge Advances ‘Muslim Mafia’s’ Case Against U.S. Terror-Watch List

CAIR lawsuit contends government’s security measures unconstitutional

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, founded in Washington, D.C., by the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas, said Friday it defeated a motion filed by the federal government to dismiss the organization’s lawsuit on behalf of 25 American Muslims challenging their placement on a terror watch list.

The Muslims, mostly from Michigan, claim they were put on the Terror Screening Database of “known or suspected terrorists” without due process.

Among CAIR’s complaints in the lawsuit are “invasive additional screening and prolonged detentions,” “the inability to conduct wire transfers,” “being treated as armed and dangerous by local law enforcement during routine traffic stops” and “the inability to obtain employment positions at airports.”

The database, maintained by the Department of Justice and the FBI, identifies information “about those known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activity,” according to the FBI’s website.

During the 2016 presidential election, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton recommended expanding terrorist watch lists after the Orlando nightclub massacre…

CAIR, however, has its own problems with terrorism, beginning with its founding by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

More than a dozen CAIR leaders have been charged or convicted of terrorism-related crimes.

The organization was named by the Department of Justice as an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to fund Hamas that was tried 10 years ago in Texas. It also was designated by the Gulf Arab state United Arab Emirates as a terrorist organization. CAIR has sued a co-author of a WND Books exposé, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America,” which documented the group’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Nevertheless, under the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security invited CAIR to help develop its counter-terrorism policy. Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR (VOA Photo/M. Elshinnawi)

Our President and First Lady Make us Proud to be Americans

The very best kind of people are the ones who come into your life and make you see the sun where you once only saw clouds. They are the same folks who believe in you so much that you start to believe in you too. They are the very once in a lifetime kind of people who love and care for others.

Our President and first lady are those kinds of people. In their visits to Texas and Louisiana to help people who lost so much, they brought cheer, hope and joy. Watch the smiling faces of the Texans who got to meet the President and our beautiful first lady. Many of those faces were black Americans who love our President.

What is shown in this video is the reason the globalist establishment hates him. They know he is the real deal, and they are the fakes in grave danger of losing their power because layer by layer he alone is removing the chains of slavery they have put in place to be used for legal tyranny.

Social Security gun ban? Repealed. Trans-Pacific Partnership? Withdrawn. UN Climate Treaty? Withdrawn. Unvetted refugee admissions? Ended. Catch-and-Release at the border? Prohibited, and so much more. Today, Donald Trump is expected to also end Barack Obama’s DACA amnesty program. I pray he does!

The President is doing what he can. The GOP, however, is actively trying to stop him, and we know why, because most of them are aligned with the same agenda as the left, the destruction of America’s freedoms, her rule of law, and her Constitution, of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Robert E. Lee Finally Revealed and Marine Colonel on the NFL Flag Flap

We all watched in disbelief as the streets of our cities became the staging area for uncontrolled spontaneous nervous breakdowns as mobs of misfits, all paid by George Soros ($25.00 an hour plus all expenses, travel, food etc.), who provided weapons for them as well, to cause as much injury and destruction as possible. Charlottesville, Virginia will go down in history as the flash point for The Soros staged “outrage over slavery” protest. Isn’t this a little late?

The purpose of the mayhem was for mobs to pull down the statue of Robert E. Lee, then pulverize it with the stated goal of tearing down all statues of historic people. Isn’t there a legal penalty against vandalism and destruction of a National Work of Art?

Why Robert E. Lee? The Soros useful idiots declared it had everything to do with ‘slavery.’ Slavery? That was done away with years ago. Why now? And what did Robert E. Lee have to do with slavery? Read his history below.

Simple explanation: Soros wants to tear down anything to do with our history. When one wants to conquer a country, as Soros is determined to do with the U.S. the best way to start is by erasing that country’s history. The less people know about their history, the more vulnerable they are for take-over.

How much is really known about Robert E. Lee? Pull up a chair. The public schools and colleges today have their assignments, to dumb down all students, so chances are this history is not really known these days. May we introduce Robert E. Lee:

Same Agenda Moving Forward Regardless of Who is the President

“Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will ‘Make America Great Again,’ have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months.” — Sebastian Gorka

While the establishment media is doing its best to divert America’s attention from the real issues by focusing your attention on Nazi criminal George Soros-backed paid provocateurs (John 10:10) attempting to stir up domestic insurrection, I felt it my duty to turn your attention where it needs be turned.

Take a look with me here.

We have seen treasonous Hillary and her criminal, traitorous, political husband Bill Clinton, who have yet to come under that special prosecutor that the president promised.

Criminal and foreigner Barack Hussein Obama, now being called out for his political espionage, continues to create war within (Psalm 9:17).

Treasonous Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are still at the side of the president, and all the well knowing what these two have done and are continuing to do.

Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Dianne Feinstein, James Comey and the list goes on.

All remain at large to upend American sovereignty to the highest bidder (Matthew 7:16).

In other words, the swamp has not being drained. It still remains.

Many of those in the swamp are funded by George Soros.

Why Americans Should Love Their Odds

Everywhere you see RED the people voted for President Donald J. Trump to turn this country around. Every RED county voted to end the Obama era lawlessness and march to global Marxism. They all voted against D.C. establishment career politicians in favor of a D.C. outsider who promised to represent the will of the legal American citizen.

This means that as we head into the 2018 mid-term elections, with 435 House and 34 Senate members up for reelection, the same RED counties have the power to Repeal and Replace Congress… if they work together in strategic fashion, with a take-no-prisoners attitude the same way they seized the White House in 2016.

99% vs. 1%

Americans have finally come to the realization that the battle is not right vs. left or republican vs. democrat. It’s 99% of Americans vs. the 1% career political elite who serve no interests but their own. 99% of Americans want America to be great again, no matter past party affiliations. All of them have been ignored and abused by their elected representatives.

Canadian Students Must Stand Up to Censorship

it is depressingly ironic when university events aimed at discussing campus censorship get censored. This is what happened recently at Ryerson University, Toronto. A panel discussion, entitled ‘The stifling of free speech on university campuses’, was shut down by university administrators citing safety concerns after the violent protests in Charlottesville.

Just before the university cancelled the event, a Facebook page called ‘No Fascists in Our City!’ condemned it as a ‘bigoted event featuring some of the most bigoted folks around right now as panelists’. ‘This shit stops now’, the statement continued, ‘either you’re with us or you’re not… We are beyond psyched’.

Who were these supposedly bigoted speakers? The panel included University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, Concordia University professor Gad Saad, clinical psychologist Dr Oren Amitay and former Rebel Media journalist Faith Goldy. Peterson has since claimed that the university’s decision to cancel the event was motivated by threats of protest, and the organisers have stated that there were requests from university students to cancel the event, too.

Three of the four panelists were well-known academics — this fact seems irrelevant to those describing them as ‘Nazis’. But the vehement reaction from protesters was unsurprising, especially given the fact that Peterson has garnered substantial controversy in the past year for his criticism of Canada’s Bill C-16, which outlaws ‘misgendering’, and his refusal to use gender-neutral pronouns.

2 Men Arrested Near Paris Planned Terrorist Attack, Wanted to Join ISIS — French Prosecutor

Two men who were arrested following the discovery of explosive materials and components at an apartment in a Paris suburb of Villejuif wanted to make a bomb to commit a terrorist attack, Paris’ prosecutor has said.

“They had agreed to commit an attack on the [French] territory to take revenge on the coalition but they had not worked out any specific plan to date,” Francois Mollins said at a news conference Sunday, as cited by Reuters.

The prosecutor added that one of the suspects admitted the two considered attacking soldiers who were deployed to locations deemed vulnerable for the terrorist attacks. The plot was uncovered as part of Operation Sentinel that was launched following the November 2015 Paris attacks and is part of the ongoing state of emergency.

Hundreds of Thousands Are Planning to Rally for Catalonia’s Independence From Spain

MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) — Hundreds of thousands of Catalans are expected to rally in the streets of Barcelona on Monday in what campaigners hope will be a show of support for independence after Madrid moved to block a planned referendum on the region’s split from Spain.

The ‘Diada’ day of Sept. 11, which commemorates the fall of Barcelona to Spain in 1714, is often used by activists to voice their demands for an independent state. Coachloads of demonstrators travel to Barcelona from villages in the region.

Political Correct Madness — A Judge in the UK Has Ruled That Specific Targeting of White, English Girls by Asian Grooming Gangs is Not Racially Motivated

It is thought that thousands of English children have been groomed, gang-raped and trafficked into sexual slavery at the hands of Muslim gangs over the past decade.

Many of the gang members have themselves admitted to targeting the girls specifically because they were white and non-Muslim.

Judge Penny Moreland said that a Newcastle-based sex gang picked out their victims “not because of their race, but because they were young, impressionable, naive and vulnerable

Scotland: TV Doc on White Schoolboy Murdered by Racist Pakistanis Airs Day After ‘All Whites Benefit From Racism’ BBC Rant

Scottish Television has aired a programme about the racist murder of white schoolboy Kriss Donald — a day after a black transgender model ranted “all white people benefit from racism” on the BBC.

The Science of Murder episode ‘Killers on the Run’, which aired on Channel 3, recounted the case of Kriss Donald, a 15-year-old white schoolboy whose brutal killing at the hands of a Pakistani gang led to Scotland’s first ever racially-motivated murder trial…

Kriss was set upon and dragged into a car in March 2004 by Imran ‘Baldy’ Shahid, Daanish Zahid, Zeeshan Shahid, Mohammed Faisal Mustaq and Zahid Mohammed, who targeted him because he was white.

The gang drove the teenager around for hours trying to find a place to torture him. They eventually brought him to woodland near Celtic football club’s training grounds, held him down over a pile of logs, and stabbed him thirteen times, before drenching him in petrol and setting him on fire.

Kriss was still alive when this was done, and he dragged himself some distance towards the nearby River Clyde before succumbing to his very extensive injuries…

Mainstream media — particularly the BBC — was criticised for offering little more than fleeting coverage of the case, despite its exceptional and ultra-violent nature.

Peter Fahy, then Chief Constable of Cheshire and a spokesman on race issues for the Association of Chief Police Officers, conceded two years later that the media were not much interested in white murder victims.

Scotland: Student Mocks ISIS on Facebook, Gets Investigated for Islamophobia

A law student at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland who supports President Trump is now under investigation for “Islamophobia” after he mocked ISIS in a Facebook post.

Robbie Travers, 21, posted the following comment to Facebook in April after the U.S. Air Force dropped the “mother of all bombs” on an ISIS tunnel network in Afghanistan:

“Excellent news that the U.S. administration and Trump ordered an accurate strike on an ISIS network of tunnels in Afghanistan. I’m glad we could bring these barbarians a step closer to collecting their 72 virgins.”

Iraqi Kurds Claim They Have Captured Senior Turkish Intelligence Officers

The Turkish government has refused to comment on reports from Iraq, which suggest that Kurdish forces have captured at least two senior Turkish intelligence officers. News of the arrests first emerged in mid-August, when pro-Kurdish media in Turkey’s Anatolia region claimed that an armed Kurdish group in Iraq had captured two members of the National Intelligence Organization (MIT), Turkey’s principal intelligence agency.

According to the reports, the Turkish intelligence officers had used forged identity papers to travel from eastern Turkey to the northern Iraqi city of Erbil. From there, they went to Sulaimaniyah, a metropolitan center in Iraq’s Kurdish north. Allegedly, the Turkish officers traveled to Iraq in order to assassinate Cemîl Bayik, a co-founder and senior leader of the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK). Founded in 1978, the PKK is a leftwing secessionist paramilitary organization that seeks an independent homeland for Turkey’s Kurdish minority. Iraq’s Sulaimaniyah region is controlled by another Kurdish armed group, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), which has close relations with Iran. But a rival Kurdish group, the Kurdistan Democrat Party (KDP), which is supported by Turkey and opposes the PKK’s secessionist aims, also has a strong presence in the area. It is not known whether KDP forces were aware of —or even assisted— the Turkish intelligence officers in Sulaimaniyah.

ISIS Holds 11,100 Blank Syrian Passports, Germany Warns

Germany’s federal police (BKA) are aware of at least 18,002 blank passports stolen from Syrian government offices, tabloid Bild am Sonntag reports. A majority of them have ended up in the hands of ISIS and other groups, sparking fears they can be used to send terrorists posing as refugees to Europe.

New Report Claims Saudi Government Allegedly Funded a ‘Dry Run’ For 9/11

Fresh evidence submitted in a major 9/11 lawsuit moving forward against the Saudi Arabian government reveals its embassy in Washington may have funded a “dry run” for the hijackings carried out by two Saudi employees, further reinforcing the claim employees and agents of the kingdom directed and aided the 9/11 hijackers and plotters.

Two years before the airliner attacks, the Saudi Embassy paid for two Saudi nationals, living undercover in the US as students, to fly from Phoenix to Washington “in a dry run for the 9/11 attacks,” alleges the amended complaint filed on behalf of the families of some 1,400 victims who died in the terrorist attacks 16 years ago.

The court filing provides new details that paint “a pattern of both financial and operational support” for the 9/11 conspiracy from official Saudi sources, lawyers for the plaintiffs say. In fact, the Saudi government may have been involved in underwriting the attacks from the earliest stages — including testing cockpit security.

The study conducted over a three year period was funded by the Australian Research Council and points out that some human rights affect migrants’ integration and ‘successful settlement in Australia’, specifically those in relation to women and children.

The study refers to some refugees claiming that these rights ‘contravene the cultural values, norms and mores’ of their ethnic groups, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Germany: Refugee Beats Woman, Attempts to Rape Her, Regrets It

A young woman was attacked by a Muslim refugee while walking home by herself, but her father saved her before she was raped.

The 24-year-old was reportedly walking home by herself in the early morning hours, and spotted a strange man following her. The man, also 24 years old, quickly pounced on her and dragged her into a field before hitting her. Just as he was about to rape her, the woman’s father showed up and fought the man while his daughter called police.

The young German woman, it turned out, called her father as soon as she realized she was being followed. The father was able to arrive in time to prevent the rape, according to RP Online, Mad World News reported.

Many readers called for the man to be punished severely for his attack.

Why DACA and All Paths to Illegal Immigration Are Bad for America

One of the reasons that the left supports illegal immigration, DACA, or dreamers pouring into America is the effort to drown out our American heritage. In fact, the deferred action on childhood arrivals (DACA) was devised by former president Obama to force his successor to make a very unpopular decision. But what Obama did not calculate was that someone with the thinking skill set of president Donald J. Trump would emerge and correctly put the responsibility on congress to do their job and legislate on the matter.

Of course, the leftists and rinos are salivating at the prospect of illegal immigrants being allowed to drag their offspring into the United States indefinitely. Why? One might ask. Are leftist activists who run around beating up people for praying in city parks and standing in support of many good aspects of American culture, are so concerned about the horrible conditions many illegal immigrants escaped from? Or are the suddenly scared straight over confederate era statues originally erected by democrats like Nany Pelosi’s father did when he was mayor of Baltimore? Are the leftists authentically concerned about the blacks, particularly black men whom they say receive a bad break being born in America? If you said yes to those questions, I question your ability to discern truth from fiction and the condition of your thinking cap.

The obvious truth is, the collection of societal complainers for the most part, do not, nor have they ever truly cared about the condition of black Americans, particularly black men. If they did, the economic policies the leftist politicians foisted upon cities like Detroit when they assumed power during the 1960s would not have been modeled after Marxist or Keynsian economic theories. Those policies literally killed off much of the steel, auto, textile, clothing, shoe and other industries in inner cities years before NAFTA and GATT wiped them out even further. To this day, the overall economic upwardly mobile track of black Americans is a fraction of economic advancement since before the full influx of leftist economic and regulatory policies that crippled urban economic engines.

To add insult to leftist injury, the leftist infiltration of the government school system totally obliterated the good quality of education standards. As a result, Americans were in many cases purposely rendered unqualified to enter college, get a decent job or start their own business. That and other developments such as a steady media diet of distortions concerning current events and issues such as race relations, and economics has caused uncalculated damage.

Backlash After Sweden’s Army Says Purpose of Military is to Defend Gay Rights

Bernie Sanders’ Religion vs. Christianity

So, what does Bernie yearn for with a truly religious zeal? Larger more intrusive, more dictatorial civil government. He hopes from more socialist medicine, more control of everyone and everything so that civil government can be the savior of mankind. Sanders is a devotee of the religion called Marxism and the civil government is his savior.

Not only that, but perhaps you remember what Sanders did back in June 2017:

“During a confirmation hearing for Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, Sanders expressed his indignation at an article Vought had written in January 2016 about a controversy that erupted at Vought’s alma mater, Wheaton College… Sanders, in a blatant violation of Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, was applying a religious test for an office of public trust.

Specifically, Sanders doesn’t think Christians are fit to serve in government because [in his own words] they’re bigots. Basic Christian theology, in Sanders’s view, ‘is indefensible, it is hateful, it is Islamophobic, and it is an insult to over a billion Muslims throughout the world.’

Gays Rights May Open Door for Pedophile Rights

Democrats have attempted to normalize pedophilia as a sexual orientation.

A recent Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage may soon allow pedophiles to argue they are suffering discrimination.

“Using the same tactics used by ‘gay’ rights activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals,” writes Jack Minor for the Northern Colorado Gazette.

Minor notes that “psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.”

Homosexuality was long considered a mental illness. However, in 1973, the American Psychiatric Association declassified it from a list of mental disorders…

In 2013 in California Congresswoman Rep. Jackie Speier, a Democrat, proposed federalizing a state law prohibiting counseling to change a person’s sexual orientation. The bill, according to critics, defines pedophilia as a sexual orientation and would afford the same rights granted to homosexuals.

“This language is so broad and vague, it arguably could include all forms of sexual orientation, including pedophilia,” said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute. “It’s not just the orientation that is protected — the conduct associated with the orientation is protected as well.”

Democrats defeated an amendment by Republicans that stated “pedophilia is not covered as an orientation.” A Florida Democrat, Rep. Alcee Hastings, said all alternative sexual lifestyles should be protected under the law.

Message of Glorious Hope From the Mom’s March for Our Children and America

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her. — George Washington

My sweet momma read the Bible to me, along with all the wonderful childhood books, as well as the once conservative Chicago Tribune. I learned to love, to cry, and to watch politics, all because of what my mother taught me through books. She was a mom who would be in this gathering of mothers.

Now those same kinds of wonderful mothers are bringing us back to the glory roots of American society and culture. Sarah Palin, Candy Carson (wife of Dr. Ben Carson) and Missy Robertson (Duck Dynasty) join the list of power moms speaking at the Mom’s March, a national gathering of mothers on September 23rd in the Heartland of America, Omaha, Nebraska, and broadcast live across the nation. Thousands of mothers in every state in America have signed up to join the march in person or online. Public gatherings to view the march are being organized in several states.

I was fortunate to hear Candy Carson last year at Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum Council meeting, and she is an amazing speaker, and an absolutely delightful Christian woman.

Study: Vast Majority of Top Colleges Deny Due Process in Sexual Misconduct Cases

When students are accused of sexual misconduct at American colleges, rather than have the police step in, colleges often subject the accused to a Title IX investigation. These investigations are often conducted by administrators with no training whatsoever in law enforcement.

While many female students hail this process as a better “alternative” to probes conducted under the constitutional protections of our law enforcement and judicial system, the fallout for a growing roster of young men accused of sexual assault has been absolutely devastating.

Campus sexual assault investigations often afford accused students with very little in the way of due process rights. For example, they are denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and are even denied the right to outside legal counsel. They are not even granted the presumption of innocence.

17 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 9/10/2017

  1. Brave new world – a world where children have no parents, and are sexualized since they are born. When depression hits, they are given strong antidepressants. Normalized behaviour in Brave New World is split between working, and sex, drugs, and rockenroll while not working. Personal affection, friendship and self sacrifice are viewed as weird at best.

    That might be why LGBT rights rank so high in the Globalist world: Christianity gives mankind a few specific roles to fill: Father, mother, child… These are sexual roles. If you want to destroy this “Christian” model, what better way than to destroy those roles altogether? In the Brave New World, it does not really matter if you are male, or female, or a child. Nah, just finish your job, and there will be a big party tonight. Loads of Soma and loud music. Just like like every night…

    We want our workers to be happy you know…

  2. Update in the Edunburgh uni free speech case concerning Robbie Travers.
    Charges have been dropped due to lack of evidence,(source- comment under article about case at Gatestone Institute) none whatsoever in fact, unless calling genocidal, slave-trading, war criminals, ‘barbarians’ is a hate-crime .
    Now will we see charges brought against the ‘intersectional’ Islamoleftist who brought the spurious case, and tried to ruin someone’s life, with no evidence?
    Don’t hold your breath.

  3. UN Claims That LGBT Rights Are More Important Than Religious Rights

    The Transatlantic Christian Council (TCC) spoke on a number of issues from a pro-family perspective, including the mandate’s illegitimacy, the potential imposition of same-sex marriage, civil partnerships, adoption, transgender bathrooms, religious freedom, freedom of association within faith-based organizations, children’s right to a mother and a father, and the right of parents to educate their children according to their beliefs and values.

    The foundation of Western civilization is being deconstructed before our very eyes and only one opposition voice (TCC) was heard in a room bursting with UN officials where the UN LGBT representative introduced his mandate.

    We are returning to the Roman Empire under Nero AD 64, when he made the Christians the scapegoat for the fire that he himself ignited, in order to destroy Rome so he could rebuild it in his own grand image.

    Those seeking to undermine the West should take pause from Nero’s end – an apparent, but more likely forced ‘suicide’ at the age of 31.

  4. Revealed: How ‘Police Informant Dubbed MW1 Infiltrated International Drug Syndicate and Single-Handedly Brought Down Ibrahim Brothers and Notorious Sydney Crime Figures’ In Biggest Bust in Australian History

    The globalization of criminal gangs was ratcheted up several notches with the collapse of the Soviet Union (the Mafia State par excellence). The entire Balkans and Caucuses are awash with crime syndicates who have easy access to the Middle East. In fact Dubai is the money-laundering capital of the world (after London – which is almost Arab-owned now).

    These scum are driving the tsunami of death of our vulnerable young (my child being a victim) and we need another Dante to write about the infernal torture waiting for those who profit from the Commerce of Death – and them being Muslims to boot ought to be justification for intensifying their misery a thousandfold. May they rot in Hell.

  5. Same Agenda Moving Forward Regardless of Who is the President

    ‘A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves, and traitors are not the victims… But accomplices.” – George Orwell.’

    So now we have no-one left to vote for! We can only despair. The Swamp denizens belong to the Left and their ranks are legion. They have corrupted the Constitution. They use the law against us. Their greed for power is insatiable. Further, this is a Western-wide phenomenon. We see the same prevarication over Brexit.

    The people vote and the politicians and the bureaucrats block their ears. In Germany, the election for Chancellor is between Tweedledum and Tweedledee – both candidates are committed to the destruction of the nation state and continued invasions from Islam and Africa.

    So, not only are we attacked by our governments, but they have invited our enemies to attack us too – antifa, Islam and so called neo-Nazis. All three are variations of the same virus.

    Moses faced the eternal reign of the pharoahs. Christ faced sclerotic Judaism and the eternal reign of the Roman Empire. But they created alternative communities, which brought down the Old Order.

    It is a tragedy much to be mourned, but we now see the ending of the world we have known. Unless we create an alternative community of opposition, we will be swallowed up in the coming avalanche.

    • Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

      So – I don’t think that you can only despair. If the LORD be with us, who can be against us? 🙂

      • I agree. But churches are emptying, ministers and priests are leaving, churches have joined the Left’s agenda and turned Christ into a Social Justice Warrior, the Vatican is a disgrace and the churches are bringing in the Muslims!

        Where do we begin? Hundreds of books have spilled ink on the subject. Theology today is influenced by Post-modernism, Marxism, Feminism. And worst of all is that Christianity seems to accept the diagnostic framework of the secular neo-Marxist critique of modern, post-Industrial society – that it, it is the White Middle Class who has caused the existence of the entire global victim population! There are some exceptions like Franklin Graham.

        So my question is, how does the Church revive from its near-death experience?

        • I understand what you mean, so let me tell you how I see it: I like the Bible, but I don’t like the Church, because the two – at least in my personal experience – go different ways: If the Bible says rest is on Saturday, the Church rests on Sunday. If the Bible says don’t make yourselves an image to worship? What does the Church do? They carve beautiful altars and little crosses and they pray to the statues of little Mary. If the Bible says “Do not trust a man”, what do the Catholics do? They trust some Pope, man… And so on…

          So, I believe that I could be friends with the Apostles, because they were ordinary people, I am not really a good friend with the Church. But saying that – I mean the conterporary, apostate church – because modern churches no longer talk about the divine, but they think that singing and having fun is the way forward. Well, it isn’t! And general attendance is a proof of it: The people like to go to Church that is not fearful of the world, a Church that is not about singing pretty songs, or Church in which people pretend to love each other: No, people will attend those Churches that are politically incorrect!

          Every great thinker or mover, be it Socrates, Jesus Christ, or Jan Hus, or Luther… All of them were controversial, politically incorrect rebels attacking the worldly establisment with words, that made the establishment kill them in return…

          That is what is missing from Christianity today: But don’t despair: It is written that it should be like this, I heard that the Lord shall find the Church asleep when he comes 😉

          • Thank you for your thoughtful words. Before you dismiss Catholicism out of hand you ought to read Lord Acton – the great 19th century historian. I was brought up Protestant too and had all kinds of prejudices until I read Acton.

            The Protestant nations today are the ones most infiltrated by secular Marxism and PC. Also Catholic Italy, unlike other nations, refused to give up their Jews to Hitler. But the present Pope is an idiot for sure, and the Vatican is a cesspool.

            Yes, I agree we need a renewal. A summons to holiness.

          • DiMu (below), I’m not sure about your second paragraph. In Venice’s old Jewish quarter, I saw a memorial plaque to the city’s Jews who died in concentration camps.

          • I am not dismissing catholicism out of hand, I know many good catholics and I don’t deny a lot of good done by them. It is just that there are certain areas in the management of the Churches – and many Protestant Churches as well – which I don’t see as Christian, in fact, kind of the opposite. But that I would have to go case by case, as is often the case 🙂

            Just now it seems to me that for example the Catholic Church is “having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof”. Many priests and officials have become worldly, it’s beyond belief. Big mistake, if you ask me, nevertheless – God always had a problem with priests who looked down to the people, what they shall preach, instead of looking up to the Lord as their ideological leader.

            Like this, for example:

            And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

          • Discussions about religious belief/dogma and the organizations that accrete around them are inherently futile. Such discussions are beyond the realm of reason. Or as Pascal put it, le coeur a ses raisons dont la raison ne sait rien.

            On average, believers are no better at solving life’s problems than the rest of humanity. Or at least that’s how it seems from the outside of belief. Gabriel Marcel, my favorite moral philosopher, converted to Catholicism (from his family’s atheism) when he was in his thirties. He said of the experience that “everything was just the same yet totally different”.

            He made an important point: when we pass through crucial life passages – falling in love, getting married, the birth of a child, the sudden loss of a parent or sibling – with these events our whole world shifts. We see others walking around in their daily humdrum routine and we realize that, for the moment, we are fenced off from the deadly (or comfortable) routinization of life…That wrenching difference, for good or ill, is beyond all ideology or judgment. It simply is.

          • Well, Dymphna, I don’t mean no disrespect but this is what comes into my mind when I see your arguments:

            (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?

            – the reason why is that I see you rely heavily on the worldly knowledge, which is relevant – no discussing that: But what if LORD God of hosts really was a person, thinking, judging, acting..? How does the LORD of Hosts act? Well – through people, through hosts of people. Including, I believe, through you and me, but through the Muslim host also: After all, the Muslims do keep a few of very important commandments when it comes to family and charity… Commandments which the Europeans kind of abandoned.

            So what is a Church as an organization to do? I don’t know about other Churches, but the Church of Jesus Christ should probably feed the sheep, cast out devils, cure diseases, and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

            Yeah well, any dummy can do that, might seem to low of an objective when preparing some very important “Modern ChurchTM” activities, like singing and dancing…
