Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/23/2016

A 29-year-old “Frenchman” stabbed a British woman to death and critically wounded a British man at a hostel in Queensland. The perpetrator is alleged to have shouted “Allahu Akhbar” as he committed his heinous acts. A dog was also stabbed to death. The man’s motive is not known at this time, although he is said to have had mental problems. There’s no word yet as to whether he was bullied in school, but the Australian police assure the public that he acted alone and that there is no link to terrorism.

‘Black Lives Matter’ Gang Attacks White Men

AKRON, OH (WOIO) — A group of men chanting “Black Lives Matter” were accused of viciously beating up seven white victims in Akron early Sunday morning.

According to the police report, the attack happened around 12:30 a.m. in the area of Carroll and Goodkirk streets.

Police said seven white men were walking when they were approached by five black men and two white men, shouting, “Black lives matter.”

CIA Director Admits Plans of Aerosol Spraying for Geoengineering

Brennan gave an address at the Council on Foreign Relations on June 29th, 2016, wherein he revealed that technology exists to save the planet from climate change. Of course, this is the usual cover story peddled by propagandists that we need to spray the skies to protect us from the Sun-in and of itself quite revealing.

Now Brennan doesn’t explicitly say we have already been spraying the skies for decades-although we know from congressional documents that they have-but he does say enough to infer that the government has been doing this for a long time. But this isn’t obvious unless one has more background knowledge to consider.

For example, in 1992 the U.N. held a summit on climate change and sustainability, putting into place the now infamous Agenda 21 initiative, which has since that time been taken up by governments from the local to the state level. The plan calls for slow progressive changes to society and how it is planned, specifically to reduce CO2 levels. In other words, nation-states knew of and intended to deal with climate change over 20 years ago, wouldn’t it be naïve to think that this whole time they weren’t actually doing anything? I think so. The truth is they have been doing something; they’ve been spraying the entire planet with toxic chemicals.

Detroit Has Gone From Being the Greatest Manufacturing City in the World to a Global Joke

Nearly two million people lived there, and it had the highest per capita income in the United States.

In 1960, the city of Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city that the world had ever seen. Nearly two million people lived there, and it had the highest per capita income in the United States. That may be hard to believe, because today it actually has one of the lowest per capita incomes of all of our major cities. Over the decades more than a million people have left the city, and thousands of abandoned homes have been torn down. But there are still tens of thousands of abandoned dwellings that remain standing, and some have sold for as little as one dollar in recent years. Once Detroit was the envy of the entire planet, but now it has become a global joke and in other countries they love to do news stories about “the ruins of Detroit” to show how rapidly America is rotting and decaying. Sadly, Detroit is far from alone, because there are other formerly great manufacturing cities that have declined just as fast as Detroit has.

Earlier today, I came across a video that contains footage that someone recently captured as they drove through the city of Detroit at night. To say that the footage is disturbing would be a tremendous understatement…

[…]

Over the decades, our politicians have stood idly by as tens of thousands of businesses and millions of good paying jobs have left the country. Our economic infrastructure has been absolutely gutted, and as a result formerly great manufacturing cities have become rotting, decaying hellholes.

And it certainly doesn’t help that voters in many of these cities have willingly chosen to put radical leftists into power time after time.

EFF Blasts Microsoft Over Windows 10 Privacy Concerns

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has accused Microsoft of disregarding user choice and privacy with Windows 10. In a scathing editorial, EFF employee Amul Kalia calls on Microsoft to “come clean with its user community” over a growing number of Windows 10 privacy concerns. “Windows 10 sends an unprecedented amount of usage data back to Microsoft,” explains Kalia, noting that enabling Cortana increases the amount of data passed to Microsoft. Privacy advocates have argued that Windows 10 sends back location, text input, voice input, touch input, websites you visit, and other telemetry data to Microsoft.

“While users can disable some of these settings, it is not a guarantee that your computer will stop talking to Microsoft’s servers,” says Kalia. “A significant issue is the telemetry data the company receives.” Microsoft has previously insisted it anonymizes telemetry data, but the EFF is concerned the company hasn’t explained exactly how it does this. “Microsoft also won’t say how long this data is retained, instead providing only general timeframes.”

Email Stunner: Huma Abedin Left Classified Material in Car

DAILY CALLER — Emails released on Monday show that Hillary Clinton’s top State Department aide, Huma Abedin, left classified government information that needed to be burned in the front seat of her vehicle.

“Favor” is the subject of Abedin’s July 20, 2009 email to Lauren Jiloty, Clinton’s personal assistant. Judicial Watch obtained the records and hundreds more pages of Abedin emails as part of its ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department.

“I’m going to have ambassador ride on next drive,” wrote Abedin. “There’s a bunch of burn stuff in the pocket of my front seat.”

FBI Investigating Whether Virginia Stabbings Were ISIS-Inspired

Federal authorities are investigating a weekend stabbing in Virginia to see whether the attacker may have been trying to behead a victim and whether the attack was inspired by the Islamic State terror group.

Wasil Farooqui, 20, was charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding in the stabbing attack Saturday that left two people wounded.

The FBI confirmed to Fox News it is investigating the dual stabbing alongside the Roanoke County Police Department. A source familiar with the incident also told Fox News the FBI is investigating the incident as a possible terrorism-related incident.

“The FBI is working with the Roanoke County Police Department following the incident that occurred on Saturday evening,” said Adam Lee, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Division.

“While I cannot discuss details of the investigation at this time, I do want to reassure the community that we are working to determine the nature of the incident,” Lee said.

According to ABC News, Farooqui had traveled to Turkey in the last year and may have tried to sneak into Syria to meet with ISIS militants.

Farooqui allegedly attack a man and woman at an apartment complex in Roanoke, according to WDBJ-7. Both victims were seriously injured in the attack. Witnesses told authorities that Farooqi was yelling “Allah Akbar.”

Authorities believe that Farooqui may have been trying to behead the male victim, according to ABC News. Investigators said that there was no connection between Farooqui and the victims.

Police: Roanoke County Stabbing Suspect Yelled “Allah Akbar” During Attack

The FBI is now involved in a stabbing investigation in Roanoke County.

Wasil Farooqui is charged in the incident that seriously hurt a man and woman at the The Pines Apartments on Saturday.

Witnesses told police that during the attack Farooqui was yelling “Allah Akbar.”

He remains in jail tonight without bond.

A man and woman told police they were attacked at The Pines Apartments just before 8 p.m. as they entered the apartment building. Both were seriously hurt and taken to the hospital.

Police have charged Wasil Farooqui, 20, of Roanoke County in connection to the stabbing. He has been charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding. He is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail.

Investigators believe that this was a random attack, and Farooqui had no connection to the two victims.

Powell Awakens! Hillary Trying to Pin Email Scandal on Me!

WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell, who supported Barack Obama in 2008, has finally awakened to the fact that Hillary Clinton is trying to blame him for her use of a private email account and an unsecured private server in her home — which she used to shake down foreigners and others for contributions to the Clinton Foundation and to pass around classified emails in violation of the Espionage Act.

To say the least, he’s not happy about it.

“Her people have been trying to pin it on me,” Powell, 79, told People Magazine Saturday night at the Apollo in the Hamptons 2016 Night of Legends fête in East Hampton, New York.

“The truth is, she was using [the private email server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did,” Powell added.

Roanoke Stabbings Being Investigated by FBI After Man Allegedly Shouted ‘Allah Akbar’

A man in Roanoke allegedly shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ while attacking a man and woman with a knife Saturday, an incident being investigated by the FBI.

Roanoke County police said that the attack occurred Saturday evening at The Pines Apartments, as a man and woman were entering an apartment building. Witnesses heard their attacker yelling ‘Allah Akbar,’ police said Monday night.

The man fought off the attacker, police said, who fled the scene but was apprehended when he came into the same emergency room where the two victims were being treated. Police were in the hospital and soon arrested the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wasil Farooqui of Roanoke County. He is charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding and is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail.

Roanoke police said the attack was believed to be random and that Farooqui had no connection to the victims.

Adam Lee, Special Agent In Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, said in a statement provided by local police that the agency is involved.

“While I cannot discuss details of the investigation at this time, I do want to reassure the community that we are working to determine the nature of the incident,” he said.

Terror in Virginia: Knifeman Tries to Behead a Man While Shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ And Then Stabs a Woman in Lone Wolf ‘ISIS-Inspired’ Attack at Their Apartment Block

Wasil Rafat Farooqui, pictured, was arrested on Saturday evening after a man and a women were attacked in Roanoke, Virginia

The FBI has launched a terrorism investigation after an alleged extremist attempted to behead a man and stabbed a woman outside in Virginia in a possible ISIS-inspired attack.

The incident happened outside an apartment complex on Saturday night in what police in Roanoke are describing as a ‘random attack’.

Witnesses said the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wasil Rafat Farooqui, shouted ‘Allah Akbar’, meaning ‘God is the greatest’, while attempting to decapitate the male victim, who was able to fight off the armed assailant.

The suspect had previously tried to sneak into Syria for terrorist training.

Police arrested Farooqui, a US-born citizen, when he walked into the same hospital as the two victims to seek medical treatment for his own injuries.

The suspect has been charged with two counts of malicious wounding causing permanent impairment according to jail records. He is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail.

According to jail records, the man and woman suffered ‘permanent impairment’.

According to ABC News, Farooqui had previously traveled to Turkey with the aim of sneaking over the border into Syria and joining ISIS.

A US intelligence source tells CBS News that Farooqui, who is believed to be self-radicalized, only got as far as Europe in his travels and returned home earlier this year.

It was that aborted trip to Syria that made the FBI take notice of Farooqui in the first place, according to the source.

Saturday’s attack happened around 8pm at The Pines apartments in the 4300 block of Banbury Lane.

The Collapse of American Free Press — It’s Just Over

There is the greatest conspiracy of all time. The corrupt politicians have completely corrupted mainstream media. They even organized the overthrow at Fox News because that was the only station they could not take over. Everything from CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and countless newspapers are all out for a coronation of Hillary at the complete expense of the free press. We may never again be able to trust anything the say or print and this is becoming so blatant and in your face, even the New York Post, long on the fringe, has come out with the bold headline: American journalism is collapsing before our eyes. They are too greedy for power to know what they do, but that is no excuse for the treason they are carrying out against the American people.

Indeed, this is part of the end times. Government is turning against the people and the free press, which was suppose to defend our liberty, have join the conspiracy and are now on the side of against the people. That peak in the Economic Confidence Model 2015.75 was the peak in government. They now know they are losing control and in the process, they will burn down the barn to get a mouse that roars. There is no future left as we knew it. There will be no freedom or liberty to leave our children and grandchildren. The slide downward from 2015.75 will be marked with more Draconian measures and nothing but lies. They are fighting now to retain control and the press has joined forces with government and the neoconservatives who want only to wage war and engage in their dream of nation building, which has been a complete failure. They do not care. We are the great unwashed in whose blood the feast and wash their hands.

Statue Liberty-1They are bringing back meaning to Patrick Henry’s most famous quote: “give me liberty or give me death.” You do reach a point when they just go too far. They can threaten to kill you. If you reach that point when you can say go ahead because living as your slave is a fate worse than death, you disarm them. There is nothing else they can threaten you with. Then, and only then, do you comprehend the deep meaning behind the words of Patrick Henry.

The GIF is Dead — Long Live the GIF

Already more than a decade old and with roots reaching back half a decade before the World Wide Web itself, the GIF was showing its age. It offered support for a paltry 256 colors. Its animation capabilities were easily rivaled by a flipbook. It was markedly inferior to virtually every file format that had followed it. On top of that, there were the threats of litigation from parent companies and patent-holders which had been looming over GIF users for five long years before the fiery call to action. By Burn All GIFs Day, the GIF was wobbling on the precipice of destruction. Those who knew enough to care deeply about file formats and the future of the web were marching on the gates, armed with PNGs of torches and pitchforks.

And yet, somehow, here we are. Seventeen years later, the GIF not only isn’t dead. It rules the web.

Why Do Bill and Hillary’s Friends Fall Off Buildings, Crash Planes, Die in Freak Accidents?

[8/22/16] When DNC staffer Seth Rich was gunned down near his affluent neighborhood in Washington, D.C., on July 10, theories exploded in the news media about Rich’s possible involvement in the WikiLeaks dump of nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee emails — some of the messages suggesting that the Democratic Party favored nominee Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders from the start.

Now reports reveal Brad Bauman, the man hired by Rich’s family to end the “conspiracy theories” surrounding the unsolved murder, is a public relations manager with the Pastorum Group and specializes in “crisis communications” for the Democratic Party.

A Slander Trial Looms for Parti Québécois Candidate, Algerian-Born Djemila Benhabib, Who Criticized a Muslim School in Montréal

MONTREAL—A slander trial is set to begin next month pitting a fiercely secular, feminist author against a private, Muslim school in Montreal she likened to militant Islamic training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Djemila Benhabib, an award-winning author and twice-failed Parti Québécois candidate, is claiming freedom of expression, while the school wants $95,000 from her for “greatly tarnishing” its reputation.

Julius Grey, a well-known human-rights and freedom-of-expression lawyer, is defending the school in this case and says he will argue Benhabib crossed the line and caused real harm to the institution.

“I regret nothing,” Benhabib said in an interview Monday as she referred to the 2012 radio comments that have landed her in court.

Benhabib told the Montreal host in 2012 she was concerned by the selection of Qur’anic verses published on the website of the Muslims Schools of Montreal, a private institution that teaches elementary and high school.

Article Continued Below

The school is accredited by the provincial government and follows the curriculum outlined by the Education Department.

During the 2012 interview, Benhabib said the verses, which have since been removed from the website, inappropriately referred to the need for young girls to stay pure. She also stated they criticized non-Muslims.

Additionally, she was upset at a school pamphlet distributed in the community showing young girls wearing the hijab. And Benhabib took umbrage at the document stating that part of the institution’s mission was to help students “establish a solid relationship with Allah.”

“(The school) resembles the kind of indoctrination similar to what goes on in a military camp in Afghanistan or Pakistan,” she told the radio host.

Moreover, she added the school “models itself on a society different than ours. It’s a model where women have to lower their heads and walk behind men. Where kids are forced to learn Qur’anic verses and where, probably, men will commit honour crimes against their sisters.”

Benhabib was born in Ukraine to a Muslim-Algerian father and a Greek-Cypriot mother.

She said she “suffered through an Islamic educational system” and has vowed to fight against what she calls “political Islam.”

Grey said in an interview the case isn’t about freedom of expression but about slander.

“We are going to argue that the comparison made with terrorism is a particular dangerous one in our time,” Grey said.

Extremist Literature Common in Many Mosques and Islamic School Libraries in Canada, Study Says

Many mosques and Islamic schools in Canada are placing young people at risk by espousing — or at least not condemning — extremist teachings, a new study says.

Co-authors Thomas Quiggin, a former intelligence analyst with the Privy Council Office and the RCMP, and Saied Shoaaib, a journalist originally from Egypt, base their findings on research conducted quietly in mosque libraries and Islamic schools.

The study says what worried them was not the presence of extremist literature, but that they found nothing but such writings in several libraries.

What Motivates a Canadian Jihadist?

A study stresses real religious zeal, not loners seeking a way out

A new study based on interviews conducted over social media with foreign fighters in Iraq and Syria raises doubts about the commonly held notion that young men in North America and Europe who are drawn to violent Islamic extremism must be marginalized loners looking for an alternative to their dead-end lives.

Three university researchers who contacted dozens of jihadists from abroad in Iraq and Syria, including some Canadians, say they seemed to be drawn mainly by the religious ideas—”no matter how ill-informed or unorthodox”—behind jihadism.

Al-Qaeda Coward Begs for Forgiveness After Admitting to Destroying Holy Shrines

Ahmad al Faqi al Mahdi said he was entering a guilty plea “with deep regret and pain” at the International Criminal Court in the Hague.

Al Mahdi, a former civil servant, was the first Islamic extremist to be tried for deliberately destroying religious monuments since the court opened in 2002.

The extremist and a group of other radicals obliterated 14 of Timbuktu’s 16 ancient mausoleums in 2012.

The Malian jihadi, who is believed to be about 40 years old, warned fellow Muslims from committing similar acts as “they are not going to lead to any good for humanity”.

Belgium: Three Stabbed in Ukkel

Tue 23/08/2016 — 10:14 CDC Three people have been stabbed on a bus and a fastfood outlet in the Brussels borough of Ukkel. The stabber was a woman, who was subsequently shot by the police.

Police have not yet been able to establish why the woman proceeded to stab passengers on a bus travelling on the Waterloosesteenweg. Public prosecutors have confirmed that three people sustained light injuries in this and a subsequent incident.

The assailant shot by the police was taken to hospital where it is too early to question her. The incident is not being labelled as a terrorist atrocity as the woman is said to have suffered psychiatric problems for several years.

One eyewitness claimed that the stabber identified as a 52-year-old Filipina acted in a confused fashion. It is understood that the woman was involved in an argument on the bus operated by the Brussels local transport company MIVB involving two other passengers. What exactly formed the basis of the argument is unclear.

After the incident on the bus the woman alighted and entered a fast food outlet where a third victim was attacked in the back. Local police overpowered the woman only after shots had been fired. A spokesman for the public prosecutor insists that the woman failed to follow police instructions. Many people were attracted to the scene.

Brussels Police Hold Filipina After Bus Stabbing

(Reuters) — Belgian police identified a woman who stabbed and wounded three people on a Brussels bus on Monday as a 52-year-old originally from the Philippines whom they do not believe acted from political motives.

The woman, accused of attempted murder, had yet to be questioned by prosecutors as she was receiving medical attention after being shot by police during the incident on a busy shopping street, spokesman Xavier Dellicour said on Tuesday.

“No motive is being ruled out at this stage but terrorism is not the most likely case,” said Dellicour, whose office is not the one which normally handles terrorism cases in Belgium.

The three people wounded were all released from hospital on Monday. Local media quoted witnesses as saying an argument broke out on the No. 38 bus and the woman pulled out a knife. Police shot her twice after she got off but refused to cooperate.

The woman’s name has not been released.

UK: Catholic Monk Laurence Soper in Court Over Child Sex Claims

A Catholic monk has appeared in court charged with a string of historical sex offences against five teenage boys.

Father Laurence Soper, 72, is accused of assaulting the boys over a period from 1972 to 1986, when he was a teacher at St Benedict’s School in Ealing, west London.

Four of the nine charges he faces relate to a single alleged victim under the age of 14.

Father Soper was arrested on Sunday after being returned to Britain from Kosovo, following a five-year police hunt.

In 2010, police said a man in his 40s had made an allegation of sexual assault dating back to when he attended St Benedict’s School.

Father Soper was arrested later that year on suspicion of child sex offences and bailed to return to a west London police station.

However he failed to show up, sparking an international search.

UK: Schoolboy Admits Raping Two Young Children

A 14-year-old schoolboy has admitted raping two young children in Wirral.

The teenager, who cannot be named due to his age, raped a girl and a boy, both of whom are very young.

The defendant, wearing his school uniform, denied the offences in an earlier appearance at Liverpool Youth Court.

He was charged with two counts of raping the girl, one of sexually assaulting her and two counts of raping the boy.

But at Liverpool Crown Court he admitted one of the rapes against the girl, sexually assaulting her and the two rapes of the boy.

Prosecutors will not proceed with the other allegation of rape against the girl.

Woman ‘Locked Up in Saudi’ Yet to Return to UK

A daughter who won a freedom ruling after claiming her father imprisoned her hasn’t arrived back in Britain yet, according to her lawyer.

On 3 August, Mr Justice Holman ordered Mohammed Al-Jeffrey to return Amina Al-Jeffrey after looking at the case.

The judge said Mr Al-Jeffrey had to “permit and facilitate” his daughter coming home by 4pm on 11 September.

She had complained her father locked her up in his flat in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia because she had “kissed a guy”.

The 21-year-old, who grew up in Swansea and has dual British and Saudi Arabian nationality, had described herself as being “locked in a cage”.

Her father, an academic, disputed her allegations and said he was trying to protect her.

Fujitsu: Why We Chose 64-Bit Arm Over Sparc for Our Exascale Super

Hot Chips Fujitsu chose 64-bit ARM CPU cores for its upcoming exascale supercomputer for two reasons: Linux and the ability to customize its own processors.

It was a bit of a surprise when the Japanese IT giant picked ARMv8-A over SPARC64 and x86 for its Post-K beast, which will be used by Japanese boffins to carry out climate-change modeling and other simulations. The roughly 1,000 peta-FLOPS Post-K, due to go live in 2020, will supersede the Sparc64 VIIIfx K Computer, which today is the fifth fastest known supercomputer.

Toshio Yoshida, director of Fujitsu’s processor development division, told The Register on Monday that it chose ARM over SPARC due to ARM’s larger and healthier software ecosystem.

British Woman Dead, Two Injured in Backpacker Hostel Stabbing

A French national allegedly shouted “Allahu akbar” during and after a stabbing attack that left a British woman dead and another Briton fighting for his life at a backpackers hostel outside of Townsville last night.

Possible extremist motivations for the attack are now being investigated by Queensland Police and the Australian Federal Police, with the man yet to be questioned by investigators.

Queensland Police Service Deputy Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the 29 -year-old French man shouted the phrase following the attack at the hostel at Home Hill, south of Townsville, but police had not detemined whether the incident was terror related.

“While this information will be factored into the investigation, we are not ruling out any motivations at this stage, whether they be political or criminal,” he told reporters in Brisbane.

“Investigators will also consider whether mental health or drug misuse factors are involved in this incident.”

Mr Gollschewski said a 21-year-old British woman was found dead at the scene, while another Briton, a 30-year-old man, was in a critical condition in Townsville Hospital. A local man was also treated for injuries, but had since been released from hospital.

Mr Gollschewski said the man yelled “Allahu Akbar” both during the attack and while being arrested by police.

The man didn’t have any known links to the Islamic State group, he said. “This person appears to have acted alone,” Mr Gollschewski said. “He is a visitor to Australia and has no known local connections, however investigations are ongoing.” He said charges were yet to be laid but police weren’t looking for any other suspects and there was no known ongoing threat to the community. “This is not about race or religion — it is individual criminal behaviour,” he said.

Mr Gollschewski said a dog was also fatally stabbed in the incident…

Canberra GP Facing Allegations of ‘Grooming’ Female Patient to be Chaperoned During Consults

A Canberra GP fighting allegations of inappropriate behaviour during a consult with a female patient will have to be chaperoned during his work.

A patient of Dr Mohamad Helmy complained to medical authorities in March this year that he had been “grooming her”, and had been physically inappropriate with her.

Dr Helmy denied any suggestions of “grooming” the patient, but said he had kissed her on the cheek after she hugged him.

The Medical Board of Australia decided to place an immediate ban on Dr Helmy treating female patients, or patients under 18, while the complaint was investigated.

The GP appealed the decision in the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT), seeking to have the ban overturned.

He decided to cease practice after the ban was imposed, citing the “embarrassment and humiliation” of having to explain the restrictions to his patients.

But he told the ACAT he planned to return to practice if the bans were lifted.

He also told the ACAT that between 60 and 80 per cent of his patients were female, and he could no longer treat the majority of his patients.

His lawyers argued there was not enough evidence to find that he posed an immediate and serious risk to patients…

Europe’s Invader Passport Nightmare

Fake passports-for use by ISIS terrorists in Europe-have been discovered in “refugee” camps in Greece, just as news broke that thefts of British passports in Europe have doubled. The two phenomena-which are clearly linked to the nonwhite invasion of Europe-portend huge problems for the Continent’s security services.

Migrants Should be Rounded Up and Thrown Out by the Army, Says Top German Politician

Outspoken former Berlin finance senator Thilo Sarrazin demanded failed asylum seekers be thrown out of Germany “if necessary under military protection”.

Mr Sarrazin, 71, demanded fundamental changes in the law to get rid of unwanted immigrants.

He urged the status of migrants should be radically changed and branded the current system “a gateway to uncontrolled immigration”.

He also said benefits and eligibility to file lawsuits in a bid to stay should only be applicable once migrants have received legal status.

Study: People Worldwide Worried Over Immigration

PARIS (AFP) — People throughout the world are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with immigration levels which are higher than any time since the Second World War, according to a new survey published Monday.

At least six out of 10 people in France and Belgium, which have recently suffered deadly jihadist attacks, believe immigration has had a “negative impact” , said the Ipsos polling institute.

Similar figures were found in Russia, Hungary and also Italy, which has had to deal with large numbers of migrants fleeing the Middle East or Africa and seeking to forge new lives in Europe.

Tinderbox at the Gates of Europe: Expert Warns Real Migration Surge is on Its Way

A POPULATION expert has warned “large waves” of migrants are preparing to head for Europe — with a “tinderbox” situation leaving the continent on the brink of collapse.

While migration figures are declining in parts of Europe, Reiner Klingholz believes now is just the calm before the storm.

The head of the Berlin Institute for Population and Development said: “The large waves of migration have yet to come. Measures such as the Turkey Agreement and the closing of the Balkan Route ensure that currently only a few people come to Europe.

“The causes of the refugee crisis, however, have not changed.”

He warned there was a “tinderbox at the gates of Europe”, with huge numbers of migrants preparing to travel from a large swathe of land stretching from West Africa to West Asia.

These areas, Mr Klingholz said, were particularly effected by high population growth and low economic opportunities, combing to push migrants towards Europe.

He said much more needed to be done to help these communities improve economically and socially — especially regarding women’s rights.

Mr Klingholz said: “Everything must be done to make sure that countries with high birth rates get development opportunities.

T”This way (girls) are not available on the marriage market at 14 already. And they have other ways to form their lives.”

While the number of migrants arriving in Greece and Turkey has decreased from last year, Italy is already seeing a huge increase. More than 25,000 migrants arrived at Italy’s borders in July alone, worrying ministers who fear the creation of a ‘new Calais’.

The huge influx is a 12 per cent increase on the same period last year, according to European Union border agency Frontex. Most who made the trip across the Mediterranean Sea, often in flimsy dinghies, were Nigerians and Eritreans.

More than 140,000 migrants are now housed in Italian shelters, a seven-fold increase on 2013, with the migrant now crisis in its third year. Evicted Calais migrants sleep rough in ParisWed, August 3, 2016

Hundreds of migrants evicted from the Calais Jungle camp sleep rough in Paris.

David Miliband, the former British foreign minister who now heads the International Rescue Committee, warned the Italian increase is “not a blip.”

He said: “The forces that are driving more and more people from their homes — weak states, big tumults within the Islamic world, a divided international system. None of these things are likely to abate soon.”

“Transgender” Bathrooms Madness Halted

A judge in Texas has halted the “transgender bathroom” order from being enforced in that state, setting a precedent which could overturn the Obama-enforced madness on a national scale. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor said in his ruling that the order violated the privacy rights of all children to use bathrooms restricted to their own biological sex.

  1. Meanwhile, there is bizarre news from Daily Mail UK – Scotland Police is encouraging more Islamic women to join Scotland Police even though Islamic societies are directly and indirectly are causing terror, filth and instability everywhere.

    • Western governments have discovered a very effective way to paralyze any indigenous resistance to their Muslim replacements . It’s called the mind duck. (I hope I am pronouncing that second word correctly.) It just gets mind duckingly more evil every day. The Muslims are what they are. It’s all there in the Koran and the Muslim mob acts out exactly as it brainwashes and misdirects them to. The non Muslims are starting to look the loonier of the two?

  2. What’s next? Have those Islamic migrants in the army and let them take over and control every aspect of our lives? No, thanks.

  3. Stockpile food and water

    “- Germany is set to announce the measures in a new Civil Defence Plan
    – Citizens will be asked to store food to last 10 days and water for 5 days
    – Medicine, energy and money will also be the focus in attack preparations”

  4. The Marxist Democrats, allied with the Marxist msm, have won. At best, Trump gives the USA a 4 yr. reprieve.

  5. It looks as if our Aussie cops have learnt the European script by heart. Not just one
    policeman, but two, parroted the same rubbish. The blogs and comboxes reflect
    the scorn of the true-blue Aussies who don’t want a bar of it. I feel sorry for the relatives of the young woman and those injured in this senseless and criminal attack. Who gives them any compassion and excuses. A pox on all political correctness!

  6. ….. Mr Klingholz said, were particularly effected by high population growth and low economic opportunities, combing to push migrants towards Europe.

    It is the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan in force,stupid.

  7. “The Collapse of American Free Press — It’s Just Over”

    Are you aware this blog is anti-Semitic ?

    • This is the news feed. A link to the story is just that, a link to the STORY.

      The story says that the American free press has collapsed. That is quite true; the media as reliable independent sources of news in the USA have collapsed. Whether or not an anti-Semite said it irrelevant. Even anti-Semites sometimes say true things.

      We don’t use guilt-by-association standards for allowing items into the news feed.
