Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/20/2019

Chicago police have officially announced that the black gay actor Jussie Smollett is a suspect in the “hate crime” attack against himself, which they allege was a hoax the actor arranged. Filing a false police report is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison. Police also believe that Mr. Smollett sent the threatening letter to himself via the U.S. Post Office, which would be a federal crime.

In other news, Virginia Governor Ralph “Coonman” Northam has acceded to requests from a historically black university that he not attend their racial reconciliation event.

3 Things That Trump Just Did That Are Absolutely Confounding the Pundits

With President Trump, you should always expect the unexpected

With President Trump, you should always expect the unexpected.

Just when you think that you have Trump all figured out, he will inevitably do something that completely surprises you, and this week there are three items in the news that are perfect examples of this. Each of these three items is confusing the experts, because in each case Trump is moving in a new direction that seems counter to what he had done previously.

#1 President Trump has just launched a global campaign to legalize homosexuality in every nation on Earth.

Many are stunned that Trump has put the full power of the U.S. government behind an all-out effort to legalize homosexuality worldwide. According to NBC News, this global campaign will be spearheaded by U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell…

#2 It is being reported that President Trump was rushing to transfer “highly sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia”.

Previously, it had been assumed that President Trump was against the spread of nuclear technology among the radical Islamic regimes of the Middle East.

But now we are finding out that there apparently has been a major push “to build nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia”. The following comes from Zero Hedge…

#3 President Trump is accusing Cuba of having troops in Venezuela as he continues to pave the way for a potential war.

In 2016, many in the anti-war community voted for Trump because he promised to bring our troops home and he pledged that the U.S. would not be the police of the world.

But now in 2019 he is moving us dangerously close to a war with Venezuela. For much more on how we got to this point, please see my previous article entitled “‘All Options Are Open’: Trump Threatens To Use The U.S. Military To Invade Venezuela”.

Americans That Tolerate Corrupt Politicians to Sow Seeds — The Nation Will Reap

Just this last week, we saw hypocrisy on full display by those who are called to represent the American people by upholding constitutional law, namely that of Representative Kathy Tran from Virginia.

After being sworn in, with her beautiful baby in her arms, to uphold the law, she then does just the exact opposite by advocating and pushing to tear that law which preserves life. Kathy Tran wants to allow the murder of human babies even up to the day that they are born. [Link]

What most people did not realize is that this said Representative Kathy Tran of Virginia also introduced a bill to protect moths.

Yes, I said moths.

As Yellowstone Awakens, Dr. Michio Kaku Warns That it Could “Literally Tear the Guts Out of the United States of America”

One day it will happen. Scientists assure us that one day the absolutely massive Yellowstone supervolcano will once again experience a Category 8 eruption, and if it happened today it would “literally tear the guts out of the United States of America”. That is why what has been happening at Yellowstone in recent months is so alarming. We know that the ground has been rising and that “a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock” is moving upwards directly under Yellowstone. And we also know that the major geysers at Yellowstone were more active last year than in any other year in any of our lifetimes. Are these signs that an eruption is coming? We better hope not, because as Dr. Michio Kaku recently told Fox News, there is “a sleeping Godzilla underneath Yellowstone”…

Dr Kaku told Fox News: “Forget the image of Yogi Bear representing Yellowstone.

“We’re talking about a sleeping Godzilla underneath Yellowstone, that if it erupts in a maximum eruption called Category 8, it can literally tear the guts out of the United States of America.

“Instead of having 50 states of the Union, we would have 30 states of the Union.”

Box Office: Winter 2019 Revenue Hits 8-Year Low in U.S.

Captain Marvel can’t arrive in theaters soon enough.

That’s the refrain across Hollywood — and on Wall Street — as industry observers grapple with a downturn at the North American box office following a record-shattering 2018. Revenue for the first seven weeks of 2019 has hit an eight-year low, capped by what looks to be the worst Presidents Day weekend in 15 years.

January was down more than 15 percent from the prior year sans a breakout hit or a carryover holiday hit such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Greatest Showman last year, or a Star Wars pic the three previous years. Revenue for the month came in at roughly $812 million, the lowest since 2011.

California Made $345 Million, Not Predicted $1 Billion, On Legal Cannabis in 2018

California took in $345.2 million in tax revenue from legal cannabis during the first year of regulated sales in 2018, according to figures the state released Tuesday.

That’s just more than a third of the $1 billion in annual revenue analysts predicted California would see once the state’s regulated cannabis industry was in full gear. But it does put the state on track to hit the revenue totals Gov. Gavin Newsom forecast in his current fiscal year budget.

CBS Chicago: Smollett Wrote the Hate-Crime Letter Too

Not only did the Empire actor script his own attack, the two brothers initially arrested in the “attack” Smollett have allegedly told police, he wrote the earlier threatening letter to the show’s producers as well.

CNN/Facebook Conspiracy Against Truth-Telling

Censorship is the new normal in America — speech, independent media, and academic freedoms threatened.

What’s going on is the hallmark of totalitarian rule — controlling the message, eliminating what conflicts with the official narrative, notably on major geopolitical issues, especially anything about Russia and other sovereign states targeted by the US for regime change.

CNN is the most untrustworthy name in television — featuring round-the-clock managed news misinformation and disinformation rubbish, masquerading as news.

Like Twitter and other anti-social media, Facebook is a censoring machine, at war on truth-telling, complicit with the imperial state, flagrantly violating First Amendment rights, unaccountable for its actions.

Everything Has Turned Upside Down and Stark Raving Crazy

Why is every 2020 Democrat candidate for president coming out with socialist policies that would play well in Communist China, but hardly in the United States of America? Where were these people born? There is no way they could have been sired by American parents. Or, has Progressive brainwashing been so successful that socialism is now in the main stream?

Why do we let millions of illegal aliens cross our borders and not do everything in our power to stop it, even if that means building fences across the 2,000 plus miles from San Diego to Brownsville? We are the only nation on earth that does not adequately protect its borders. But worse, we are a nation that provides huge incentives for every person in the Western Hemisphere to break down our doors and then demand we pay for them when they enter illegally. Why do legal Americans put up with it? They should fire every politician that supports open borders and refuses to fund the necessary defenses.

Why do we let local, county and state politicians pass sanctuary policies for illegal aliens, thus allowing the illegal criminals to rob, scam, run is down with their cars and kill us?

Why do we give these illegal aliens driver’s licenses and allow them to register to vote, when it is illegal for them to vote?

Exposing Socialism

Sixty-two years ago, author and ex-communist Howard Fast wrote that he had “only one important task in front of [him] to define this thing, to explain it, to picture this unholy god in his own frightful nakedness; so that if there is another generation in [his] land that must face the agony of [his] generation, they will never see this avenue as a road to any future that man should face without loathing.” His 1957 book titled The Naked God: The Writer and the Communist Party was Fast’s coming “to grips with the “hollow, rigid, ‘political’ incantations of the movement’s cultural high priests.” It is a book that “explains, in terms of specific instances, the whys and wherefores of total commitment to a false ideal.”

This unholy god was communism, and it is with great alarm and fear that we must, yet again, teach Americans of the evil inherent in socialism which is always the first step to communism. With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hypnotizing impressionable and miseducated millennials we are headed toward a tattered future.

Howard Fast was devoted to communism but eventually realized that it needed to be exposed so that its tenets would wither and die. He wrote that “an idea must be bent over the anvil of truth to see if it can survive some strong blows.” As an important literary figure in the Communist Party, Howard Fast’s defection was a shock. He had spent thirteen years as a devotee to Communism until Nikita Khrushchev’s “secret report” finally revealed the “terror, the fear, the hollow pretenses, the bestiality, [and] the inhumanity that characterized the leadership.”

Global Warming Doomsday Prophecy: 100 Million Climate Refugees by 2050

How Did America Become So Great?

Liberalism/progressivism/environmentalism/ feminism/socialism/communism created new generations of young Americans who are devoid of patriotism

Legal immigrants from around the world came to the New World to work hard, find land, and worship freely. Many died in the process during the arduous voyage across the sea, in the wilderness they were attempting to settle, from industrial accidents in factories they toiled in, from disease, or in battles with the natives.

All had to stop at Ellis Island for proper identification and quarantine when necessary. They were desperate but proud men and women who did not immigrate to become wards of the welfare system because there was none to be had. They had to work hard in order to survive. No hapless taxpayers were supporting the new arrivals and nobody waved the country’s flag from which they hailed. Most learned English as soon as they could no matter what level of education they had.

Today the legal immigrants fly in with papers and medical records and immigration authorities check them thoroughly and register their arrival. But the illegal immigrants cross the border themselves at great health risk, leaving behind a huge trail of trash, cross with the help of expensive coyotes, or are herded into the country by government buses in the dead of night and on planes without proper health screenings.

Caravans of invading armies of illegals from Honduras and El Salvador have already jumped the fence at various points along the border, aided and abetted by Mexico, closer to California, where Democrat officials welcomed them with open arms and pockets at taxpayer expense while America’s poor and veterans are ignored. Nobody knows or cares whether these illegals are sick, financially able to support themselves, able to work, and, most importantly, whether they are friends or foes of America.

McCabe Declares “It’s Possible” Trump is “Still a Russian Asset”

“It all seems to get more suspicious every day.”

Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who is embroiled in what the President described as a ‘coup’ plot to oust Trump, has declared that he still thinks Trump could be working for the Russians.

“Do you still believe the president could be a Russian asset?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked the former FBI official who Trump fired.

“I think it’s possible,” McCabe responded, adding “I think that’s why we started our investigation. And I’m really anxious to see where Director Mueller concludes that.”

Despite two plus years of ‘investigation’ turning up absolutely zilch, McCabe would love to keep the Russia myth alive a little longer because he is flogging a new book, titled: “The Threat: How the F.B.I. Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.”

[Comment: Actually, it is the opposite. It is the behaviour and lies of deep state clowns like McCabe that are getting more and more suspicious.]

McCabe’s Bogus Witch Hunt of Jeff Sessions Confirms Worst Fears About FBI/DOJ Politicization

Thousands upon thousands of media reports over the last year and a half have intimated, suggested, or flat-out asserted that President Donald Trump is a traitor who colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. What this widely held theory lacks in evidence, its diehard supporters in the media and other anti-Trump bastions make up for with their faith-filled conviction of its truth.

An alternate storyline has been unfolding over that same time. The basic contour is that claims Trump stole the election by treasonously colluding with Russia are the result of a coordinated campaign that was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, weaponized by the federal government, and promulgated by a completely compliant media.

This week ABC News reported that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe personally authorized a criminal investigation into Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his alleged ties to Russians.

Myth of Three Co-Equal Branches of Government

My good friend and Institute on the Constitution Chapter Leader, Gary Porter, made the following observation in his recent presentation on the topic. “Speaker Pelosi is not alone in her confusion as to our government’s design, the ‘Three Co-Equal Branches’ myth has been drummed into millions upon millions of public school children’s heads for probably the last one-hundred years. A simple Google search finds people ranging from reporters, to sitting Congressmen, to lawyers groups and, of course, educational websites repeating this patent untruth.”

First of all, we need to consult the architects of our Republic — the Founding Fathers — to see how closely this belief conforms to the Framers’ design.

New York City Mayor Confirms What We Already Knew: “There’s Not $3 Billion in Money…”

The money in question was a tax incentive that was to be “given” to Amazon AFTER it had relocated!

Last week Democrat representative and media darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez applauded the fact that Amazon pulled out of their deal to locate a major headquarters in New York. The deal would have created 25,000 jobs and brought billions in much needed tax revenue to the State.

According to Ocasio-Cortez, who graduated with a degree in economics, the $3 billion in tax incentives promised to Amazon was better spent on teachers, firefighters and social programs.

What Ocasio-Cortez apparently did not understand about the deal is that New York didn’t actually have $3 billion to spend, because the money in question was a tax incentive that was to be “given” to Amazon AFTER it had relocated, create the jobs and begun operating in the area.

Prosecutor: Jussie Smollett Faces Up to 3 Years in Prison

Jussie Smollett faces up to three years in prison if allegations that he staged a hate crime against himself are true, according to former prosecutor Andrew Weisberg.

Smollett launched a media firestorm at the end of last month when he claimed he was assaulted by two individuals who shouted “this is MAGA country” and had a noose placed around his neck.

However, police are now seriously investigating evidence which suggests Smollett paid Nigerian brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo to stage the incident.

Should Smollett be found guilty of filing a false police report having staged the attack himself, the Empire actor could face several years in prison.

Tesla Terminator: Tesla Car Autopilot Veers Off Highway, Crashes Into Road Signs as Driver Locked Out of All Controls

Elon Musk’s taxpayer-subsidized Tesla death traps are back in the news for trying to kill their drivers.

A man from North Brunswick, New Jersey, reportedly almost died after his rogue Tesla recently decided to crash off the highway — the vehicle’s so-called “autopilot” mode taking control and plowing right into several objects before coming to a sudden halt.

Local news reports indicate that the Tesla vehicle “got confused due to the lane markings,” which resulted in its inability to decipher between the highway’s driving lane and the exit lane. The driver of the Tesla says the “autopilot” split the difference and went down “the middle,” before veering off the highway entirely and crashing.

The driver says he tried to take control of the Tesla and override the “autopilot,” but that the vehicle “would not let him.”

The Democratic Party: A History of Anarchy, Part 2

Following their defeat in the Civil War, Democrats in the South simply shifted their priorities from defending slavery to the suppression of Republicans and African-Americans, by forming the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups. The KKK operated as a loosely structured group of political and social terrorists. Their goal was the political defeat of the southern Republicans and the complete domination of the newly liberated African-Americans.

In order to do this, the KKK used lynchings, beatings, shootings and intimidation to keep the African-Americans and Republicans from voting and being elected into office. Started by former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest in 1866, the KKK was so successful in dominating the southern African-Americans that the southern states would remain a Democratic stronghold until the late 1960’s.

In an interview with a Cincinnati Commercial correspondent, General Nathan Bedford Forrest said of the KKK in 1868: “It is a political military organization, it was found that political matters and interests could best be promoted within it, and it was then made a political organization, giving it’s support, of course, to the Democratic Party.” So the lynchings, shootings and other terror tactics were done to promote the Democratic Party.

In 1871 Shaffer Bowens, a white former KKK member gave testimony in court about the goals and activities of the KKK. “My understanding was, to advance the Democratic Party and put down the radical party. … By killing, and whipping, and crowding out men from the ballot-boxes. “

Wilmington, North Caroline in 1898 was a prosperous town with a largely African-American population and led by a predominantly Republican leadership that supported their rights. The former democratic heads of the city however were determined to retake the city in the upcoming election.

Who’s Behind the Green New Deal? Big Money Backs Ocasio-Cortez Socialist Dream Project

The Green New Deal blueprint introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was crafted by three far-left organizations and is being pushed by a coalition of well-funded professional progressive groups and known leftist agitators.

Some of the organizations helping to promote the Green New Deal have ties to financing from billionaire George Soros and trace their roots to such radical groups as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.

Earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez posted an 11-page Google document in the form of a nonbinding legislative resolution that has become the most authoritative version of the Green New Deal, a broad outline for the current conception of the socialist-style plan.

Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal resolution, introduced along with Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), has already been endorsed by more than 45 Democratic representatives. The deal received high-profile endorsements from Senators Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Bernie Sanders.

The Green New Deal seeks, as the New Yorker recently put it, “nothing less than a total overhaul of our national infrastructure.”

Two men found guilty of terrorism charges after being accused of plotting to derail a passenger train are asking Ontario’s highest court to grant them a new trial, arguing the jury that convicted them was improperly selected.

Lawyers for Raed Jaser argue the judge who oversaw the case made several errors, including in rejecting their client’s request as to the method of jury selection.

Jaser’s co-accused, Chiheb Esseghaier, continues to be self-represented but a lawyer appointed to assist him through the legal process agrees the jury was not properly constituted and says a new trial must be ordered for both men.

22yo Syrian Charged With Gang-Raping German Girl to Face Juvenile Trial — Report

At least ten suspects are accused of raping an 18-year-old German teen after she was allegedly dragged by a Syrian man in a nightclub in the southwestern German city of Freiburg on 14 October 2018.

Despite his age, a 22-year-old Syrian man charged with orchestrating last year’s brutal gang rape of an 18-year-old German girl will appear in a juvenile court, local media reported on Tuesday.

Investigators believe that the man, who was only identified as Majd H., raped the girl outside a nightclub in the southwestern German city of Freiburg on 14 October 2018 before calling “at least nine” of his friends, who took turns sexually assaulting the 18-year-old for four hours.

The suspects, aged between 19 and 30, are currently being held in investigative custody and have yet to be charged.

Pope Francis: Christians Should Not Fear Looking Like ‘Communists’

Too many Christians shy away from the social gospel, Pope Francis said Monday, because they are afraid the Church will end up looking like the communist party.

God asks us lots of uncomfortable and inconvenient questions, the pope said in his homily at morning Mass at the Santa Marta residence in the Vatican, just like he did in the garden of Eden, asking Cain, “Where is your brother?” knowing full well that Cain had killed his brother Abel.

We are all responsible for one another, Francis said, especially for the poor and needy, even though we often try to back out of this duty.

Egyptian YouTube Star Abandons Islam, Cites ‘Racism, Cruelty’

Says hypocritical Muslims nearly drove him to suicide

A popular YouTube content creator from Egypt has announced his exit from Islam, citing “racism and cruelty” fueled by the ideology as driving factors for his decision.

Shady Srour, 24, currently boasts over 4.4 million YouTube subscribers. He recently broadcast his departure from Islam in a viral Facebook post that has garnered over 102,000 comments at the time of this writing.

“I left Islam because of racism and cruelty in the hearts of people who are supposed to believe in god, but in fact, they are a bunch of insincere hypocrites,” Srour wrote in Arabic on Facebook.

Srour also asserts that cyber-bullying by fellow Muslims nearly drove him to suicide last year, saying it pushed him to a high level of “psychological torment as a human being.”

Top comments on the post have garnered up to 46,000 reactions, ranging from sentiments of support to aggressive denunciation.

In a follow-up video released after his Facebook statement, Srour reportedly explains his belief that those who had harassed him in the past were not “true Muslims” and that Islam was not to blame in those instances.

The Pope and the Art of Self-Deception

by Srdja Trifkovic

Pope Francis, the first Pontiff to visit the Arabian Peninsula, attended a hugely publicized interfaith meeting in the United Arab Emirates on February 4 as part of what the Vatican described as his “outreach to the Muslim world.” The following day he held an open-air Mass in Abu Dhabi, attended by 135,000 Catholic guest workers who are normally not allowed any public display of their faith.

The Pontiff’s address to the Muslim Council of Elders, a body set up by the UAE supposedly “to counter religious fanaticism by promoting a moderate brand of Islam,” was a melange of p.c. platitudes, banal and embarrassing in equal measure. He urged religious leaders to reject the “miserable crudeness” of war and called on religions to come together to resist the “logic of armed power . . . the arming of borders, the raising of walls.”

“There is no alternative: We will either build the future together or there will not be a future,” he continued. “God is with those who seek peace.”

The “Council of Elders” which Francis addressed is the brainchild of Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo’s Al-Azhar mosque and university. This was the fifth meeting between Francis and Tayeb. It finally ended Al-Azhar’s freeze in relations with the Holy See, which followed Pope Benedict XVI’s 2006 comments on Islam and violence and his subsequent demand for greater protection for Christians in Egypt.

Sheikh Tayeb is routinely described by Western media and academia as a “leading moderate” and “a strong proponent of interfaith dialogue.” In 2016 Pope Francis even claimed that his meeting with Tayeb at the Vatican was proof that Muslims “seek peace, encounter.” In his Egyptian TV sermons, however, the good sheikh presents a very different face to the faithful. He approvingly uses a radical phrase “the faith and the polity,” which affirms that Islam is both a religion and an ideological blueprint for governance that is anti-infidel at its essence. He firmly asserts that a Muslim apostate “must either renounce his apostasy or else be killed.” Three years ago, when asked why Al-Azhar refused to issue a formal statement denouncing the Islamic State as lapsing into kufr (unbelief), Tayeb responded, “Al-Azhar cannot accuse any Muslim of being a kafir as long as he believes in Allah and the Last Day, even if he commits every atrocity. . . . I cannot denounce ISIS as un-Islamic.”…

U.S.-Backed Syrian Commander: Anti-Islamic State ‘War is Over and We Won’

The U.S.-led coalition and its Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) allies have reduced the so-called Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) caliphate to a small collection of tents in a tiny village under President Donald Trump’s watch, several news outlets acknowledged this week.

“They try a psychological war. But that is it! The war is over, and we won,” a commander of the U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters declared, asking the Associated Press (AP) that he be identified only by his nom de guerre, Baran, in accordance with SDF rules.

The commander acknowledged that the group is holding a small village and indicated that the U.S.-backed force would wait for the jihadis to run out of resources: “They don’t have supplies in the area they are in that would last for a week or more.”

Venezuelan Who Escaped Socialist Nightmare Slams Green New Deal

A Venezuelan citizen who left the crisis-stricken country in his teens for America is speaking out against socialism and the Maduro regime — and giving a warning to anyone who may support the Green New Deal backed by liberal Democrats including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Daniel Di Martino, a college student who grew up in Venezuela before his family left the socialist country when he was 16, said Monday on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that his family went from flourishing in the upper middle class to making just two dollars a day under now-disputed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former President Hugo Chavez.

“By the time I left Venezuela in 2016 we had a blackout every week — and I was privileged,” Di Martino told Martha MacCallum.

He said he saw parallels between what he experienced in Venezuela and the rise of socialism in America. “I hear what I heard from the socialist regime in Venezuela, ‘everything is alright.’“

He continued, “People are starving in Venezuela because policies such as the one that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [supported] in her Green New Deal, which in reality is just the ‘red new deal’ which is just a socialist wish list, would destroy the U.S. economy and lead us into the path of Venezuela.”

Italian Leader Dodges Kidnapping Investigation Over Migrants

Says being investigated for defending Italians a disgrace

Five Star Movement lawmakers overcame their reservations about impeding investigations into politicians and on Tuesday voted to block an investigation into Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini — the leader of M5S’s coalition partner — over allegations that he “kidnapped” 177 undocumented migrants last summer when he refused to let them disembark from a ship in a Sicilian port for five days.

The Senate’s Immunity Committee would have needed to lift Salvini’s immunity for the investigation to proceed.

Instead, it voted to back immunity for Salvini. The vote resolves what had become a serious source of tension between the two coalition partners, even prompting some of Salvini’s allies to publicly push their leader to call for fresh elections to try and oust M5S and take advantage of the League’s rising popularity.

The investigation into Salvini was initiated in August by a Sicilian prosecutor. Salvini has publicly mocked the probe, saying it would be “an honor” to go to prison for defending Italy’s borders.

“If he wants to interrogate me or even arrest me because I defend the borders and security of my country, I’m proud…Being investigated for defending the rights of Italians is a disgrace,” Salvini said at the time.

Multicultural Swedish Town Becomes Hell on Earth: A Girl and Two Women Tell Their Stories

The stories of the people of Staffanstorp went public after investigative journalist Joakim Lamotte visited the town. Previously the town was only known for a horrible knife incident, for which an Afghan migrant was arrested.

In front of Lamotte’s camera, Swedes describe the town as dangerous and full of violence, with gangs dominating its public space.

Read further or check the translated video at the bottom of the page.

One girl tells how she was sexually harassed and punched at her former school every day. “They locked me up in the toilet and hit me with bands. They punched and joked on me. It happened every day,” she says.

“Suddenly they came forward and grab my breasts. After I punched the guy, the whole family came and told me I’m a little horny and that I need to shut up. When I’m out with my dogs, they throw stones on the dogs,” she continues, pointing out that she is afraid of what will happen to her siblings and cousins in the future.

A woman explains that the affected children urge their parents not to do anything, because the gang will take revenge on the children. Another woman tells how she was “brutally” beaten by a gang of 15 people.

But during the live broadcast, a politically correct lawyer suddenly comes across and denies the whole horror image of Staffanstorp. He says the town is ‘peaceful’ during spring.

Potentially Half a Million Illegal Aliens Projected to Enter U.S. This Year

Potentially half a million illegal aliens are projected to successfully cross the United States-Mexico border this year, should illegal immigration levels continue at their current rate.

Princeton Policy Advisors researcher Steven Kopits projects that in 2019, there will be anywhere between 260,000 to 500,000 illegal aliens at the southern border who successfully cross into the U.S. undetected by Border Patrol agents.

One of those institutions is the American college campus, where women have risen to be a majority of students and will likely soon be a majority of faculty.

Delingpole: Claim — Trump’s Global War on Homophobia is ‘Racist’, ‘Paternalistic’, ‘Colonial’

President Trump’s campaign to decriminalize homosexuality across the world is motivated by racism, a colonial sense of paternalism, and an urge to pick on ‘brown-skinned’ countries like Iran.

Or so insists a comment piece by a gay activist at the LGBTQ+ journal Out.com.

“Trump’s Plan to Decriminalize Homosexuality Is an Old Racist Tactic,” says the headline.

Below, Mathew Rodriguez claims:

Rather than actually being about helping queer people around the world, the campaign looks more like another instance of the right using queer people as a pawn to amass power and enact its own agenda.

Rodriguez is especially concerned about the plight of Iran. Sure it hangs gay men from cranes now and again. But that shouldn’t distract us from the fact when people like the Trump administration’s top-ranked gay official Richard Grennell — now the US ambassador to Germany — express concerns about Iran, it’s really just a form of repressed racism and colonialism.

6 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/20/2019

  1. Regarding Trump and the global campaign to legalize homosexuality, I think the motivation is more to humiliate islamic countries since they have barbaric views when it comes to homosexuality. It is a brilliant move strategically. Homosexuality is just as rife in islamic lands as it is in western ones although it remains officially hidden, and by forcing them to defend barbaric practices and laws it shows western liberals in a way that cannot be hidden, that islam is intolerant and no friend of western liberalism. If he succeeds, he has begun the process of infecting islamic lands with western liberalism and started the undermining of islamic society and religion.

    • All you neglect to account for is the sheer opacity of Leftists and Islam alike. Both are impenetrable regarding the minimum logic needed to process any of this.

      Muslims sit back and chortle with glee while the Left cannibalizes itself (e.g., TERF vs Trans), even as they determinedly ignore Islam’s own headlong trajectory towards total annihilation.

      All of this is avoidable. It only requires a once-ubiquitous but now uncommon commodity, common sense.

        • A TERF is a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”. The term is a smear, a pejorative used by transsexual elements and their hangers-on.

          Note how one traditional negative adjective (radical) is combined with an SJW negative one (exclusionary) in one and the same acronym.

          A TERF is any woman, lesbian for example like Martina Navratilova (tennis) or hetero like Germaine Greer, who query and oppose the notion that a man can become a woman by saying so.

          In sport, transgenders compete as biological men (muscle mass, etc. ) in women’s competitions and tend to win, surprise!!

          I believe the government support of transgenders in UK or USA, France (Obama, May, Macron) etc. is part of the NWO levelling of all natural bio-distinctions such as sex and race to achieve the one remaining distinction that impacts the income statement of global banks and their shareholders.

          That distinction is: how many mutually distrusting and hostile impoverished mulattos of various sexual preferences (and hence minimal group – e.g. trade union- solidarity in the face of Capital) can we sign up in 2030 or 2050 to consumer loans and mortgages while paying them minimum wages or social welfare? GDP rules!

          This policy is being implemented by promoting the tropes of Non-discrimination, Anti-racism and Equality, i.e. stealing and modifying traditional Left aims.

          Which is why Rothschild banker Macron recently attacked the gilets jaunes by saying that they were against homosexuals, Jews and foreigners.

  2. Diversity Means No White People

    This just in, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.

    In other news, America’s government begins assembling a nationwide genetic database (see: the Rapid DNA Act) eventually intended to reach a 100% sampling rate.

    Our UK desk is now reporting there’s confirmation from Sutton Courtenay that the persistent rotational whirring sound villagers keep complaining about is coming from Orwell’s grave.

    Tape at eleven.

  3. “[Comment: This is what happens when a liberation theologist (aka communism for catholics) becomes the Pope.]”

    This is false. The Pope, surname Bergoglio, was not a liberation theologist. In Operation Condor (supported by the USA from Johnson to Reagan), sub-section: Dirty War (Argentina) in the 70s he was Provincial, ie head of the Jesuit order there.

    The head of the junta, Videla, currently in jail, has said that the junta never kidnapped and killed any Catholic priest without first obtaining permission from their superiors.

    Such priests typically did social work in slums and were thus “communist”, in the view of current contributors to GoV and their political ancestors in the 70s, no doubt.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_War#Participation_of_members_of_the_Catholic_Church

    On 15.4.2005 a suit was filed against the current Pope for conspiracy to kidnap 2 Jesuit priests.

    From 1976 until now, Bergoglio’s path has only been up in the world. This looks as if he has been rewarded as a faithful servant.

    His current statements of fake compassion/empathy fit the weaponisation of mass immigration descibed in books by Kelly Greenhill and J Michael Springmann, ex US State Dept. (Visa section, US Jeddah consulate)
