After President Trump imposed new sanctions on Turkey, the Turkish lira dropped precipitously against the dollar, throwing the country into a financial crisis. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has asked citizens to exchange their foreign currency and gold for their country’s currency to help shore it up.
In other news, a shooting in Fredericton, New Brunswick has left four people dead, two of them police officers. The suspect is in custody, but his name has not yet been released. His parents told a media outlet that he suffers from severe mental illness.

The following video is the final message from a Dutch woman named Willie Dille, who committed suicide shortly after recording this video. Ms. Dille was a city council member in The Hague for the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV).
Significantly, she names as the instigator of her gang-rape an ethnic Dutch politician, Arnoud van Doorn, evidently a convert to Islam. Mr. Doorn allegedly arranged the attacks and threats as a method of political intimidation.
Her death was reported as a suicide, and then a rumor went around that she had been murdered. However, as far as I know, she really did kill herself (which is more than understandable, given the dire circumstances in her life).

Or is it spelled ‘Euroskepticism’? It depends on where you live and spell English words since the pronunciation is the same. Because Dr Turley’s video is about the EU, let’s stick with the British spelling rather than use the Canadian/American version.
His comparison of the rationales between former Iron Curtain countries and the rest of Europe is food for thought. But whatever the respective motives for this growing disappointment with Brussels’ “management”, the populist unrest has spread far and wide.
An NGO migrant “rescue” vessel carrying 87 migrants has finally landed in Spain, after being refused permission to land in Italy. Meanwhile, the Spanish town of Irun, which is close to the border with France, has seen a significant increase in migrant activity as culture-enrichers gather there while they wait to sneak into France.
In other news, an appeals court in France has refused the request by the Swiss philosopher Tariq Ramadan to be released from jail, where he has been languishing after being charged with two counts of sexual assault.

In his latest essay El Inglés makes a few observations about the brawl that broke out in the New Red Apple Nail Salon in Brooklyn earlier this week.
In addition to the cell phone video embedded below, see this video news report, or this commentary by an African American.
A Missive from Post-America
by El Inglés
All honest white people will acknowledge that there is one area in which they harbour a deep insecurity with respect to Asians. By Asians, we refer here not to the denizens of the Indian subcontinent, whose true racial nature is unclear, and best captured with the decidedly untechnical term ‘brown.’ Rather, we refer to proper, epicanthically-enriched, chopstick-and-bamboo Asians, whose devastating abilities in the arts of hand-to-hand combat have long wowed film audiences around the world. They may be small and weedy-looking, but goodness me, they know how to fight, goes the refrain. Jet Li. Jackie Chan. Bruce Lee. You wouldn’t want to tangle with that lot, would you?
This concern about the combat superiority of the Asian has finally been dispelled thanks to a brief video made available online in recent days. Said video was captured on the cell phone of a witness to the brawl itself, which occurred in a nail salon in Brooklyn, Noo Yark. This fascinating anthropological resource shows a group of largely indeterminate, though substantially Chinesey-looking, female Asians going at it with a pair of angry, female, negro flailers straight out of central casting. And it sets the record straight as to the combat abilities of the Asian: Reader, they fight as badly as everyone else.
They shove. They flail. They stagger. They swipe. They hit people with brooms. Admittedly, said Asians are fairly elderly, and an injection of younger blood might allow us to witness, in future bouts, the occasional Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon-type moment. But, in a nutshell, they fight in the same raggedy-a**ed way that people always do in the real world. Jackie Chan, you lied to us!
The conflict itself was most peculiar. All informed people know that the absence of white people is supposed to result in a situation of post-racial harmony, as People of Colour display the profound love they hold for each other. Black, brown, yellow, blacky-brown, browny-black, yellowy-brown, blacky-yellowy-brown: colour matters not. POC move in. White people move out. Racial harmony ensues. So goes the theory.
And so much for theory. The reality seems to be rather different. POC move in. White people move out. POC start eating each others’ faces. White people move back in with riot gear to minimize casualties. The post-racial utopia is put on hold. Agitated negros cluster outside the immigrant establishments providing journalists with detailed descriptions of what their black a**es (their expression, not mine) will do if things do not improve. And so the wheel turns.
Those in the know will be aware of the general trend here. American immigration policy brings large numbers of poor but aspiring people to American shores, many of them from Asia. These people choose to settle in the big coastal cities, where they open labour-intensive businesses in poor areas with substantial black populations. These areas often present certain business opportunities due to the low entrepreneurial levels of the black populations and the unpleasantness of conducting businesses amongst and for the negro underclass.
Sooner or later, mutual hostility and contempt combine with resentment at the relative economic success of the newcomers to create brawls, sidewalk protests, police intervention, and much general frothing. In extreme circumstances, POC-on-POC hostility can become quite extreme. Interested parties are invited to investigate how much fun was had by the Korean population of LA during the LA Riots of 1992.
The incident reported in the following video is not current, but occurred sometime last year.
You’ll notice that the retired gentleman never says that the “youths” who attacked him were immigrants. He doesn’t even say “southern-looking”. Vlad and Ava Lon got into a discussion about it last night, and Vlad asked how anybody can tell that cultural enrichment was involved. Ava said Germans who watch it would be able to tell because of the man’s resignation about the pointlessness of calling the police. She also pointed out that no young Germans would form a pack of six and beat up an old man.
Many thanks to Ava Lon for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:
A policewoman in Spain contracted scabies during a tour of duty in a migrant camp. Later she passed the disease on to her husband and the rest of her family.
In possibly unrelated migration news, Germany has concluded an agreement with Spain on the return of migrants residing in Germany who were first registered in Spain.

As we reported last week, a couple of weeks ago Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán attended and spoke at the annual Bálványos Summer Open University and Student Camp in Tusnádfürdő (Băile Tuşnad), in the ethnic Hungarian region of western Romania.
Also in attendance at the Open University that weekend were members of the Flemish nationalist student group Schild & Vrienden. The leader of the group, Dries Van Langenhove, participated in a panel discussion with the prime minister at the event, and he and his fellow group members were able to meet with Mr. Orbán.
The following video shows excerpts from the meeting between Viktor Orbán and Schild & Vrienden. Everyone there spoke English, so there’s no need for translation. However, if you have trouble with the accents, switch on “CC” to see the text:
Sallaumines is a French town in Pas-de-Calais, close to the Belgian border. The following article describes the disgusting behavior of a Sudanese immigrant in Sallaumines. The fellow doesn’t understand French, and had to have his arraignment proceeding explained to him by an interpreter.
I think the man might be telling the exact truth — it may well be that his behavior is normal and unexceptional in Sudan.
Many thanks to Ava Lon for translating this article from L’Avenir de l’Artois. It’s gross stuff — if you don’t have a strong stomach, you may want to skip it:
Sallaumines: He uses an ointment on the children in the neighborhood to make their penises grow
by M.H. August 6, 2018
The suspect, a 33-year-old man of Sudanese origin, doesn’t understand the reasons that brought him before the court in Bethune on Monday August 6th.
The suspect, a 33-year-old man, is being arraigned on Monday, August 6, for sexual assault. He is accused of two attacks committed on July 31 and August 1 against four minors, aged between 12 and 13 years old. The young boys live in the same neighborhood in Sallaumines as the accused. They allegedly came to his place for some drinks [not necessarily alcohol], but the man allegedly put an ointment on their penises against their will. He also allegedly kissed their privates and forced them to do the same [to him]. A fifth child has allegedly contacted the police since the revelation of these facts and the beginning of the investigation, too late to be included in the hearings.
With tears on his cheeks, the suspect is trying to explain, through his interpreter, that he doesn’t understand what he has done [wrong]. “According to him there was no sexual attack,” explains the translator. “He wished to treat them by putting some ointment on their penises. He asserts that he has medical knowledge.” Originally from Sudan, he explains that the fact of touching and kissing the privates of a young boy doesn’t constitute a problem in his view. “For him, it’s a custom in Sudan.”
The court requested a postponement of the hearing in order to be able to conduct psychological tests. The suspect will be tried on September 3, 2018 at 2pm.
UPDATE: The mighty darkness and storm rolled through, shutting off the lights momentarily. Disconnected our wifi. Left over three inches of rain in a half hour or so. And then moved due east, even as it faded…
Ah, August rains. My flowers thank you, but ask for a morning drench instead. Me, I’m happy for what we got.
****************************
It has gotten quite dark, even Lear-like, outside. The storms are coming down from the direction of our electric company in the next county.
…will we lose our connection? It remains to be seen…
If all goes quiet, it means (the) Gates are closed for the moment. We’re home, but disconnected.
No one does these videos with the panache of Dr Turley.
In this one, he slices and dices the American prodromal midterm primaries, explaining how successful they were for Trump. Every candidate he hit the trail for won their respective primaries though turnout was low. While it’s always lower in the mid-terms, this time changeover is important for legislative purposes. Thus, the Dems will be energized; there’s nothing like the fear of sudden death to concentrate the mind. Thus, the GOP had better do what it generally does not do very well, i.e., get out their base. In other words, get all the disaffected who came out to vote for Trump in 2016.
Dr T reminds us that Trump called himself “Mr Brexit”. And he also points out that Paul Ryan is a demoralizing force. It may be that Ryan is still suffering from Loser’s Remorse. I can understand that he wants to “spend more time with family” but he fought for that Speaker’s seat and now he’s vacating it. Methinks it is hatred of Trump that sends him packing, but time will tell. If he stays retired, we’ll know he’s a politician of his word.
By their own logic, liberals have to quit wielding the brush when they find they’ve painted themselves into The Krazy Korner. Dr Turley explains what they’ve done regarding Alex Jones (and, en passant, Tommy Robinson). As I do, Dr T. thinks this is not the last act:
A conundrum for the Left. A battle in which they are hoist with their own petard.
The non-Left need do nothing but observe their ‘the-end-justifies-any-means’ frenzied antics.
Paul Weston has plenty to say about the “Fake News Media & Tommy Derangement Syndrome” exhibited by the middle class, particularly one Janice Turner, wife of The Times’ executive editor. This couple demonstrates the problems inherent in nepotism: want to bet he didn’t fact-check wifey’s snarling rant?
The Times was forced to retract the “girlfriend beater” part of the smear after Tommy threatened to sue the paper. Here’s the item from our newsfeed the other day.
After President Trump imposed new sanctions on Turkey, the Turkish lira dropped precipitously against the dollar, throwing the country into a financial crisis. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has asked citizens to exchange their foreign currency and gold for their country’s currency to help shore it up.
