Cruz: Those Responsible for Trump’s Rise Will ‘Bear Responsibility Going Forward’
“There’s time for recriminations and ya know, everyone who was responsible for the rise of Donald Trump”
Former 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz told radio host Michael Berry, when asked if Fox News treated the Texas senator fairly, “There were more than a few players” with a “disproportionate role” in the rise of Donald Trump.
Berry asked Cruz, “You took to task several folks on Fox News and I think you were right to do so. You’ve never been one to whine throughout the course of the campaign, but do you think you were treated fairly and particularly by Fox News?
Cruz responded to Berry and the listening audience:
[Comment: /more fear mongering from a globalist puppet. Cruz should be in jail for obtaining a Senator position while he was actually a Canadian citizen.]

Watch: Milo Challenges Mark Zuckerberg to a Live Debate
In a video released today, which can be seen below, Milo calls on Facebook’s chief executive to answer for the social network’s perceived bias against conservative news outlets, to explain why censorship appears to be so rampant on the network, and to challenge him about his co-operation with the German government in suppressing criticism of mass migration.
Zuckerberg indicated yesterday that he would be willing to meet with conservatives to discuss some of these issues in a Facebook post that was widely reported on. Little wonder he’s acting quickly, given that the Senate is now involved.
Facebook has heavily implied that algorithms are responsible for how the site selects “trending” stories. But reports over the last few weeks have revealed that the site is heavily dependent on human editors — editors who appear to share strong liberal biases.
Yiannopoulos, who edits Breitbart’s technology and social justice coverage and was recently profiled by the New York Times magazine warns that unless Facebook addresses mounting concerns of political bias, it could go the way of Twitter, with a declining stock price and “one of the angriest user bases anywhere in technology.”
“Facebook has to do one of two things,” according to the Breitbart editor. “Either rediscover a commitment to First Amendment principles and allow its users to express themselves freely, or be honest with users about Facebook’s biases and let users know that conservatives are going to have a hard time expressing themselves. As a private company, Facebook is entitled to choose either route. But it has to start telling its users the truth.”
Speaking from a hotel gym in Eugene, OR during his year-long nationwide college speaking tour, called the Dangerous Faggot Tour, Yiannopoulos challenged Zuckerberg to explain why he is unable to even mention the name of his tour on Facebook without risking account suspension.
Yiannopoulos continued: “Sometimes the conservative route is longer, harder, less intuitive or less obvious. It doesn’t always give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling right away. But we’re not dangerous. You know what’s dangerous? Suppressing perfectly ordinary and respectable opinions because they don’t match the prejudices of your company’s curation team.”
“Facebook is the worst offender when it comes to censorship, but, unlike Twitter, which is famously opaque and never gives straight answers to questions about free speech, Facebook’s CEO yesterday announced that he would be willing to meet with influential conservatives to discuss their concerns. I hope I’m one of them,” he added.

“Ancient Multi-Ethnic London” Lies Exposed
New claims by the Museum of London-replicated throughout the controlled media-that London has always been as “ethnically diverse” as it is now are easily disprovable lies being used to justify the ethnic cleansing of the city of white people, a researcher into British genetic history has said.
Writing on his personal blog, Arthur Kemp, author of the best-selling DNA-based study Four Flags: The Indigenous People of Great Britain, said that the distortions contained in reports originating from the Museum of London were “obvious” and were based on just one skeleton’s “dubious” DNA analysis.
The AFP newswire coverage of the story is a case in point, he said.
A DNA analysis of four ancient Roman skeletons found in London shows the first inhabitants of the city were a multi-ethnic mix similar to contemporary Londoners, the Museum of London said on Monday.
“Firstly, they are deliberately confusing ethnicity and race. Ethnicity is a cultural term, such as ‘German,’ ‘English,’ ‘Polish,’ or ‘Irish.’ Ethnicity is most often expressed in linguistic boundaries.
“Race, however is a genetic term, and all Europeans have genetic commonality. The Museum of London is deliberately mixing up these two meanings to try and create the impression that London has always been racially diverse-when in fact all the evidence shows that it has always been racially homogenous until the advent of present-day Third World immigration,” Kemp wrote.
He explained that all Europeans are “comprised of a number of genetic strains which came together in three distinct waves, dating from the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Indo-European eras, which stretched over 40,000 years in total.
“As a result, any investigation of European genetics will find shared DNA, and consequently that European national boundaries are the product of language rather than race.
“The existence of common DNA strings in any given European nation does not mean that that nation is ‘ethnically diverse,’ merely that they share a common origin founding population which created Europe,” he said.
The claims by the Museum of London that the Roman-founded city’s population was “similar to contemporary Londoners,” does not “stand up to the test of history, DNA, or even the ‘new’ analysis of the skeletons now being boasted about in the controlled media,” he continued.
The new “multi-ethnic” claim is based on DNA-analysis of just four skeletons-”hardly a scientifically accepted sample size,” he said, “bearing in mind that at its height, Roman London had a population of at least 60,000.
“Furthermore, of the four skeletons, only one is claimed to have DNA originating outside of Europe-and even that claim is highly dubious.”

Al-Qaeda Terrorist Awarded $88k in ‘Moral Damages’ From Belgium Government
Jihadists family already given €11,000 payment
The Belgian government awarded a convicted Al-Qaeda terrorist €78,000 (roughly $88,000) after the jihadist claimed his extradition to the United States violated his human rights.
According to Belgian media, terrorist and former professional football player Nizar Trabelsi received payment after approval from the European Court of Human Rights in 2014.
Trabelsi, who reportedly met multiple times with Osama bin Laden back in 2001, was convicted of plotting to attack multiple US targets in Europe.
After having his charges dropped in a case surrounding a 2001 terror plot against the US embassy in Paris, in which he planned to carry out a suicide bomb attack, Trabelsi was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in jail by a Belgian court in 2003.

by Srdja Trifkovic
Ahmet Davutoglu has served Recep Tayyip Erdogan loyally for over a decade, first as his chief advisor (2003-2009), then as foreign minister (2009-2014), and finally as prime minister until his forced resignation on May 5. Loyalty is no longer enough: Erdogan now demands unquestioning obedience from his team, and Davutoglu’s willingness to provide it has become uncertain.
The new tone of public discourse in Turkey is vividly summarized in a recent Al Monitor article. “Obedience to the leader is a must,” Ankara Mayor Melih Gokcek thus wrote on May 10: “The concept of a leader and absolute obedience to this leader exists in our faith, in our state tradition.” Three days earlier a pro-AKP columnist praised the nation’s unbreakable love for Erdogan, thanks to his “manliness, faith, success, courage,” which could not be weakened by sinister criticism “such as authoritarianism, patriarchy, cult of the leader, dictatorship or corruption.” Another pro-Erdogan pundit used Islamic religious imagery to condemn Davutoglu for not being fully obedient to Erdogan: “He saw obedience as being low, just like Satan.” Various Kuranic references are now used to assert that those who do not obey Erdogan “will lose both this world and the afterlife!” Such notions, which would have seemed eccentric if not insane but a few years ago, are now commonplace in the Erdoganist camp.
Davutoglu’s “disobedience” was detected primarily in his insufficient enthusiasm for Erdogan’s plan to change Turkey’s constitution and to secure sweeping executive powers for himself as president. Erdogan is determined to make this happen by hook or by crook. To that end he is likely to appoint a compliant prime minister who will follow his plan for securing a constitution-changing supermajority by removing the predominantly Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) deputies from parliament on charges of collusion with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and having AKP loyalists elected in their stead. As prominent columnist Amberin Zaman has noted,…

Elderly Buddhist Monk Hacked to Death in Bangladesh
Police in Bangladesh say a 75-year-old Buddhist monk has been hacked to death in the south-eastern district of Bandarban.
An official said the monk’s body was found inside a Buddhist temple.
It is the latest in a spate of murders of religious minorities, secular activists and academics.
More than 20 people have been killed by suspected Islamists in the last three years.

Elderly Buddhist Monk Hacked to Death in Bangladesh, Say Police
An elderly Buddhist monk was found hacked to death on Saturday in Bangladesh, police said, the latest in a spate of murders of religious minorities and secular activists in the Muslim-majority nation.
No group has yet claimed responsibility, although the killing in the remote southeastern district of Bandarban appeared to bear a resemblance to several recent murders by suspected Islamist militants.
“Villagers found Bhante (monk) Maung Shue U Chak’s dead body in a pool of blood inside the Buddhist temple this morning. He was hacked to death,” Jashim Uddin, deputy police chief of Bandarban, said.

Writing in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, Professor Helmuth Nyborg, who is an expert in the connection between hormones and intelligence, discussed his previous research on how, “The effect of Europeans having few children and immigrants with low IQ” would lead to “Westerners (being) a minority in Europe, and that the average IQ drops so much that prosperity, democracy and civilization is threatened”.
Nyborg has previously asserted that low IQ migrants arriving from non-western countries leads to a decline in the average intelligence of western societies and therefore a drop in living standards and rising crime rates.
“In 2016, the current immigration policy gives us three alternatives — submission, repatriation or civil war. Unless Europe starts to lead a responsible family, immigration and integration policy, stated by the theory of evolution, I think civil war is most likely,” writes Nyborg.
Nyborg goes on to caution that simply referring to “right-wing extremism” will not make the chronic problems caused by overpopulation and failed multicultural policies disappear, warning that ethnic Europeans will be a minority in their own countries by 2050.
Ethnically homogeneous, civilized and democratic societies in Europe will be a thing of the past unless there is an “honorable repatriation” of migrants, warns Nyborg.

Germany to Spend €93.6bn on Refugees Until 2020 — Report
The number of asylum seekers entering the country will be around 600,000 in 2016
The German government will allocate nearly €94 billion for incoming refugees over the next five years. This includes housing, integration, German language courses and social welfare benefits, and dealing with the underlying causes of the refugee influx.
Germany’s Der Spiegel cites a Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) statement, which estimates that the number of asylum seekers entering the country will be around 600,000 in 2016, some 400,000 in 2017 and about 300,000 each consecutive year.
In 2016, the BMF plans to spend around €16.1 billion on migrants; by 2020 annual expenditure is expected to be somewhere in the region of €20.4 billion.
The €93.6-billion expenditure on refugees will come from the federal budget, which means the cost for federal regions could be comparatively high.

German Government Plans to Spend 93.6 Billion Euros on Refugees by End 2020: Spiegel
Germany’s government expects to spend around 93.6 billion euros by the end of 2020 on costs related to the refugee crisis, a magazine said on Saturday, citing a draft from the federal finance ministry for negotiations with the country’s 16 states.
The figure is likely to stoke concerns, particularly among growing anti-immigration movements, on the impact of new arrivals on Europe’s largest economy which took in more than a million people last year, many from Syria and other war zones.

Cockneys are becoming an endangered species in a London borough after 70,000 immigrants have moved in over the past 15 years, a BBC documentary has revealed.
The white population of Newham is leaving in droves, according to the Last Whites of the East End, which claims 73 per cent of the local population is now made up of ethnic minorities and Black British.
It was previously almost all white working class, with the majority dockworkers, but has now become the most multicultural place in the UK, with 147 languages spoken across the borough.
Although many of the area’s new residents consider themselves ‘proper East Enders’, some say the differences in culture and religion are creating divides, with ethnic groups sticking together…

“Transgenders: “ DOJ Blackmails Schools
The US Department of Justice has issued a directive forcing all public schools in America to cater to the demands of mentally ill “transgenders”-people born of one biological sex who imagine themselves to be another sex-or face losing federal funding.
In a letter sent today to all school districts, the DOJ has demanded that schools grant “transgender” access to all restrooms, sports, and accommodation facilities.
As outlined earlier, “transgenderism” is actually a mental illness. These people will dress up in the opposite sex’s clothes, or in some cases, even undergo surgery to cut off penises, and add breasts (or, in female cases, cut off breasts and attempt to create artificial penises).
In previous saner times, people suffering from such wild delusions would have been sympathetically treated by psychiatrists for severe mental illness and trauma, and helped back to reality.
However, because liberals-backed by the controlled media-have made a new “norm” out of race denial, feminism, the feminization of men, the promotion of homosexuality, and all manner of sexual and social deviances, the mentally ill “transgender” sufferers have been told that it is normal-and even possible-to “change their sex.”

‘Bathroom Barry’s’ Real Legacy
In Obama’s social tinkering world, a guy’s not a guy, a girl’s not a girl anymore. They are interchangeable by both parents and politics in the Brave New World the far left keep advancing enabled by tax dollars.
Make that a brave new world that overnight has become utterly transgendered.
How else to explain that one day after Obama’s invasion into the school bathroom, it has been revealed from overseas that toddlers are among 1,500 under-16s sent to a ‘transgender identity clinic’?
“Children as young as THREE (are) convinced they are born in the wrong body”. (Daily Mail, May 14, 2016)
If three-year-old little gaffers are convincing themselves that they are born in the wrong body without activists’ and Big Government’s help, then pigs will soon fly through the air with as much ease as global warming/climate change as the government’s latest cash cow.

Obama Threatens Public Schools: Enact Tranny Bathrooms or Lose Funding
Don’t be fooled: Politician Obama couldn’t care less about individual rights
The Obama administration is ordering every public school district in the country to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that match their “gender identity.”
The White House is forcing compliance by both threatening to cut funding to non-compliant schools and exposing them to potential lawsuits.
President Obama told the Justice Dept. and the Education Dept. to create standards for the schools to abide to, which isn’t the first time he has pressured local governments to capitulate to federal standards.
He used a similar strategy last year to “federalize” local police departments across the country by requiring them to adhere to stricter requirements when they receive federal funding.
This latest takeover, however, will fuel mass backlash given past protests in the past.

Schools Reject Obama Transgender Decree: ‘Straight Into the Paper Shredder’
The blowback has been immediate, and fierce
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Obama administration is issuing a decree today on transgender bathrooms in federally funded schools that demands officials allow transgender students to use whatever facilities they choose.
The directive from Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon, and Vanita Gupta, leader of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, cites federal Title IX in arguing that “nondiscrimination on the basis of sex requires schools to provide transgender students equal access to educational programs and activities even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns,” The Washington Post reports.
The blowback has been immediate, and fierce.
“I got news for President Barack Obama,” Texas’ Port Neches-Groves Superintendent Rodney Canvass told 12News. “He ain’t my president and he can’t tell me what to do. The letter is going straight into the paper shredder.”
“I have 5 daughters and I have 2,500 girls in my protection. Their moms and dads expect me to protect them. And that is what I am going to do,” he continued. “Now I don’t want them bullied … but there are accommodations that can be made short of this. He is destroying the very fiber of this country. He is not a leader. He is a failure.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott weighed in on Obama’s directive, as well, posting a link to the announcement with a message to Twitter: “I announced today that Texas is fighting this. Obama can’t rewrite the Civil Rights Act. He’s not a King.”

Third Graders Forced to Read Transgender Book About ‘Boy in Dress’
Everyone’s been making a big stink out of LGBT inclusion
Everyone’s been making a big stink out of LGBT inclusion. It’s weird, considering there are more people with lupus in this country than there are gays and trannies combined. They’re more relevant based on numbers alone. Still, we don’t see the auto-immune-disease-afflicted plastered all over the media. But maybe if they dabbled in cross-dressing…
Speaking of cross-dressing, a Michigan school has been incorporating LGBT awareness into its curriculum. They’re doing so via a book about a “boy in drag dress.” Apparently it’s a big issue for third graders. As in 8/9-year-olds.

A Muslim terrorist stabbed four people at a train station near Munich while screaming, “Allahu Akbar”. In between proclaiming the glory of Allah, he also shouted that his victims were all “unbelievers”. A woman heard him say, “Infidel, you must die”.
The German authorities came to the inescapable conclusion that the attack had nothing to do with Islam. Instead the stabber had been “mentally ill” and was probably not even fit to stand trial. The Koran wasn’t to blame. It was the fault of his psychological problems.
This isn’t surprising. It’s a well known fact that there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism. Instead there are just a lot of people out there, of Muslim origin, suffering from a unique set of psychological problems that cause them to shout Allahu Akbar while trying to kill people who aren’t Muslims.
This should not however be attributed to the notoriously peaceful religion of peace.
Just last week the FBI busted James Muhammad who had been plotting to shoot up a Florida synagogue for the “glory of Allah”. Muhammad explained that he wanted to murder the men, women and children praying at the synagogue because, “I have a lot of love for Allah”.
Not only did this minor story receive only a fraction of the attention devoted to the truly important news that a Muslim teenage girl had Isis written in her High School yearbook, but Muhammad’s lawyer insisted at a bail hearing that he isn’t a terrorist, just suffering from mental problems.

re: computers
I bought an AppleLisa in ’83 (list $10,000) when people were throwing money at PC makers at about a third that price,64K of RAM, DOS software that they spent maybe $200-$300/mo. for a cascade of new releases, and about 10#/mo. of 1/2″-thick magazines. Whatever else, that computer was still running in a son’s apartment about 10 years later, and I had replaced much of it’s power with something in my pocket for about $400. Moore’s Law still works. I cringe when I consider how much that Lisa and all the original stuff would be worth… My son avoids the subject.
That makes a fee biggest than €1000/german citizen.

The rise of transgender – the butchers winning over the shrinks
Small groups terrorising larger groups seems to be the order of the day. Whether it be gender, climate control, religion, money or some ism, they seem quite adept at getting their point across. Who cares about what the the silent majority think, as only the silent ones care and they ain’t saying nothing.
Sorry you weird people with an agenda, you have the wrong angle on this – what you might think is quite normal to you could be a travesty on reality and does a fudge for your benefit really help?
You probably have great tenacity in holding onto those dreams. but are they true?
what will happen when you cant touch the moon?
We have to deal with fragmented societies, that will get more fragmented day by day and to handle that we will invent filters that may nullify your dreams. Don’t worry though we are the silent majority and will never let you know what we really think.
