A swimming pool in the German town of Hamm has been forced to hire extra security guards due to a huge rise in sex attacks by migrants against native German bathers. There were six sexual assaults during the first three weeks of the pool’s operation this summer.
In other news, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said that this afternoon’s machete attack against two policewomen (by an as yet unidentified and now deceased assailant) may well have been an act of terrorism.

Arrested ISIS Sympathizer Claims Fellow Militants Are in Mexico
Erick Jamal Hendricks of Charlotte, N.C., was arrested Thursday in Ohio for providing material support to ISIS.
A Department of Justice press release stated that Hendricks tried to recruit and train people in the United States to commit terrorist acts. “Hendricks allegedly told another person that his goal was to create a sleeper cell to be trained and housed at a secure compound that would conduct attacks in the United States. He mentioned that potential targets included military members whose information had been released by ISIL and the woman who organized the Draw Prophet Mohammad contest,” the DOJ press release said.

Paul Ryan’s Primary Opponent Asks ‘Why Do We Have Muslims in the Country?’
House Speaker Paul Ryan’s primary opponent, who has gotten support from Donald Trump, suggested Monday that the United States have a “discussion” about deporting all Muslims from the United States.
“The question is, why do we have Muslims in the country?” conservative businessman Paul Nehlen said in a Monday radio interview with Chicago’s AM 560 “The Answer.”
Nehlen said that Muslims who believe in Sharia law are in “direct conflict” with the U.S. Constitution.
“If someone is supporting Sharia, that is doing something wrong,” he said.
“Are you suggesting that we deport all of the Muslims in this country?” asked radio host Dan Proft.
“I’m suggesting we have a discussion about it, that’s for sure,” Nehlen replied.
Referencing Newt Gingrich’s call for a religious test on all Muslims after the terror attacks on Nice, Nehlen also called for law enforcement to monitor “every mosque” in the United States.

Trump Endorses Ryan, McCain and Ayotte in Push to Show Party Unity
Donald Trump, looking to put behind him a week of party infighting and show that Republicans are united, endorsed Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senators John McCain and Kelly Ayotte in their reelection bids.
The endorsements are key to keeping Congress in the hands of Republicans to achieve policy goals, Trump said in a rally Friday evening in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Ryan’s home state.
‘‘I need a Republican Senate and a House to accomplish all of the changes we have to make,’’ Trump said. “Working hand in hand, we will grow our majority in the House and in the Senate. We need that. Arm in arm, we will rescue the nation from the Obama-Clinton disaster that has bled our country dry and has spread terrorism unabated across the world.”

500-Year-Old German Artwork Bought at Flea Market
Long-dead German artist Albrecht Dürer is causing a stir after a collector donated a lost work, bought for a few euros on a French flea market, to a Stuttgart museum.
The bronze engraving titled “Mary crowned by an angel” dates back to the year 1520, Anette Frankenberger of the Staatsgalerie art museum told AFP on Friday, and is in “very good condition”.
A retired French archaeologist noticed the work on a bric-a-brac stand in Sarrebourg in eastern France, after the seller cleared it out of a house in the town.

At Least 13 Killed in France Bar Fire
At least 13 people were killed and six injured in an accidental fire early Saturday during a birthday party at a bar in the northern French city of Rouen, officials said.
The blaze, which was France’s deadliest in a decade, was sparked by the candles of a birthday cake. They appear to have ignited the polystyrene ceiling of the basement room where the celebrations were taking place.
The victims, who were primarily between the ages of 18-25, were poisoned by a toxic mix of gases released by the burning plastic. One of the injured was still fighting for their life.
“There wasn’t an explosion, it was candles used for a birthday party,” a senior police official told AFP.
Local official Laurent Labadie, who was at the scene of the fire, described the blaze as accidental.

Belgian Premier Says Machete Attack May be Terrorism
Belgium officials said a machete-wielding attack that injured two female police officers Saturday appears to be an act of terrorism.
Prime Minister Charles Michel said “preliminary indications” suggest the attack, carried out by a man shouting “Allahu Akbar,” was terror-related, but that authorities are still collecting information.
The incident prompted Michel to cut short his vacation in the south of France and return to Belgium for a meeting Sunday of the National Security Council.
The officers were attacked outside a police station in southern Belgium. The assailant was shot and killed, police said.
Police said the injured officers were “out of danger.”

Belgian Police Attacker Shot and Killed in Charleroi
A man shot by police after he attacked two officers with a machete in the Belgian city of Charleroi has died.
The women officers’ injuries are not life-threatening.
The assailant is said to have shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest” in Arabic) during the assault outside the city’s main police station.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told broadcaster RTL by phone: “Initial indications very clearly point towards terrorism.”
Charleroi was used as a base by some of the jihadists involved in the attacks on Paris in November 2015 and Brussels earlier this year.
Belgium has been on edge since suicide bombers attacked an airport terminal and a metro station in the Belgian capital on 22 March, killing 32 people and injuring many more.

UK: Institutional Child Sex Abuse Inquiry Loses Third Head…and it Hasn’t Even Started Yet
Britain’s gigantic inquiry into institutional child abuse is facing another setback after the top judge in charge resigned her post, becoming the third to do so.
New Zealand high court judge Dame Lowell Goddard called it quits Thursday evening, claiming the inquiry had an unshakeable “legacy of failure” and that the job was a “struggle.”
However, Goddard herself has recently come under fire after it emerged that in her first year on the job she spent 30 days on leave and 44 working days in New Zealand and Australia.
The inquiry, which is unprecedented in size, is due to report in 2020, but some pundits estimate it could take longer as it has not yet publicly questioned a single victim or witness.

UK: London Stabbing Culprit a “Devout Muslim, “ Defended Alleged Terrorist
Despite authorities in the UK attempting to blame the stabbing of six people in London this week on “mental illness,” it has since emerged that the 19-year-old Somalian culprit behind the attack was a “devout Muslim” who once expressed support for an alleged Al-Qaeda member.
Zak Bulhan launched a six minute rampage on Wednesday night which left five people injured and the wife of an American professor dead in the Russell Square area of the capital.

UK: Smoke Bombs Thrown as Police Keep Apart Clashing EDL and Anti-Fascist Demonstrators
Far right movement the English Defence League (EDL) planned a protest in Nottingham to promote their anti-immigration views and just under 100 members arrived in the city shortly after midday.
But more than four times that number of left wing protestors, including from pressure group United Against Fascism (UAF), were waiting for them, waving placards plastered with slogans such as “solidarity and love”.
Police battled to keep the two groups apart, resorting to separating them with barriers, and smoke bombs were thrown as the opposing sides clashed near the Brian Clough statue, just off Old Market Square.

Leader of Anti-Islam Group Reclaim Australia ‘Arrested in Anti-Terror Raids in Melbourne’
A man arrested in anti-terrorism raids in Melbourne is believed to be a notorious Reclaim Australia member.
Phillip Galea, 31, was arrested at his home in Braybrook, in Melbourne’s west, as police launched a series of raids across Victoria, The Herald Sun reported.
Galea, well known as a leader of the extreme right-wing Reclaim Australia group, was jailed last year just days before an anti-mosque rally after a court decided he had weapons ready for an ‘aggressive attack’.
After a series of anti-terrorism raids across Melbourne on Saturday, police escorted Galea from his home in Braybrook just before 4pm, Fairfax reported.
Victorian Police Assistant Commissioner Ross Guenther told reporters that the arrested man, who he didn’t name, had posed an escalating threat to the Victorian community.
‘The individual in custody has a number of affiliations to different organisations,’ Mr Guenther said…

Victoria Police did not confirm he was a member of Reclaim Australia, but said “the individual in custody has a number of affiliations to different organisations”.

Halabi was arrested on June 16 but indicted on Thursday.

Malta: Transforming Migrant Challenges Into Opportunities
Challenges faced by migrants would transform into opportunities if barriers were addressed, the President urged this afternoon.
She was speaking at the launch of a set of recommendations for better integration, and a collection of migrant experiences. The latter were gathered as part of a project by Cross Cultural International Foundation (Malta).
In her address, President Coleiro Preca noted that the stories collected by the foundation were stories she unfortunately heard often during regular round tables with stakeholders.
“European societies are becoming increasingly diverse and Malta is no exception. The phenomenon of migration has become a major feature with effects across the globe,” she said.
Within this scenario, it was essential to promote dialogue between different cultures and faiths. It was also important to continue creating respectful and safe spaces where third country nationals could express themselves freely.
[Shouldn’t allowing Maltese citizens to ‘express themselves freely’ about Islamic migration be the priority here?]

More Than One Million Illegal Immigrants ‘May Never be Deported From Britain’
Latest figures suggest that for every person caught trying to sneak into the UK illegally, 130 have already made it.
A Daily Express investigation revealed 84,088 people were caught trying to slip across the border last year, equivalent to 230 a day or one every six minutes.
Yet Migration Watch think 1.1m was a “plausible estimate” of the number in Britain who had managed to sneak in, adding “there is every likelihood the number could now be considerably higher”.

Swimming Pool in Germany Forced to Hire Security Guards After Spike in Migrant Sex Attacks
The venue in German has added the team to the payroll to teach migrants western values towards women.
During the first three weeks of summer, indoor pool Maximare in Hamm, close to the border with the Netherlands, had 16 per cent more guests.
But alongside the rise — thought to have been caused by an influx of migrants into the area — the number of sex attacks at the pool soared.
At least six separate assaults have been carried out against women at the public facility, forcing management to take action.

** More Than One Million Illegal Immigrants ‘May Never be Deported From Britain’ **
We’ve got CCTV cameras on every chimney, license plate recognition cameras on every rabbit path, and a massive data base of people receiving welfare but we’re HELPLESS to find and deport all those foreigners.
Nehlen’s right. Why do our strange leaders crave the importation of Muslims with their bizarre belief system that overthrows democracy in favor of Sharia?
Nature requires war and revolution periodically. Otherwise we getting away rent free. It’s that time again. We are next up soon. (I would like to see Merkel and all the udders on trial beforehand.)
Mlp, I hate to agree, but I must. Evidently you are right about war and revolution. I myself prefer peace and prosperity but I must be in the minority.
I would like to see Merkel in the dock but who on earth has the manly equipment to put her there? I do not ever want to see her putting her hands together as she does, assuming a saintly attitude, and then doing evil toward her own countrymen-and-women. She is disgusting, but one must remember that she grew up as a communist — that stink doesn’t rub off easily.
Good question. senior German Constitutional judges declared her actions in opening up Germany’s borders ( and consequently the rest of the EU’s borders too) as ILLEGAL AS SHE HAD NO MANDATE FROM THE GERMAN PEOPLE many months ago. Also she had not consulted her party or the German Parliament either.
Yet she is still permitted to slither off to Ankara to fawn at the feet of her Turkish Tyro, selling the EU’S cultural history and future down the river seemingly unhindered.
A lesson from history, which could repeat itself – Mussolini thought himself untouchable but the Italians eventually found a lamp post to accommodate him.
Colonel Bunny (I love your name, btw) — you will have to elect someone better in order to deport the muslim scourge. Unfortunately, your government (as well as mine) is a squish and doesn’t have the nerve or the guts to say it like it is. Muslims belong in their own countries. Period. They do not mix well with western civilization and the majority of us western people do not want them.
The question is this: why are they being foisted upon us? That is what I want to know.
This has happened before in western history but there were people (men) with the required manly equipment to defeat the scum and send them back to their cesspools.
I know this is not polically correct, but then I’m not politically correct, either. DEPORT!! Deport them before they destroy you.
Thanks. 🙂
Your “don’t mix well with others” thought reminds me of what I understand teachers of young children like to put on report cards, namely, “plays well with others.” All our handwringing, eye-rolling, teeth-gnashing, foaming at the mouth, koranical exegesising, and fist-clenching about Muslims boils down to one or the other of those phrases.
This bedrock fact does not penetrate the highly educated minds of the Treason Class whose analysis always defaults to “we must have more of these loveable coves.” That’s my charitable version. The alternative version is very dark indeed and takes note of (A) Angela Merkel’s (1) coy inability to consider border controls, deportation of economic parasites and jihadis, and stopping the war against Syria and (2) happy acceptance if that Coudenhove-Kalergi prize and (B) swine like Frans Timmermans, Peter Sutherland, and George Soros whose studied malevolence requires the destruction of white Europe. If someone can get something other than malevolence out of what those oxygen thieves push my hat’s off to them but it’s plain as day they agitate for the West the culinary equivalent of Duck à l’Orange swimming in a sauce of transmission fluid.
Agreed as to the paucity of leadership. Mr. Trump has more understanding than he reveals, I believe, though he is easily distracted from his purpose and displays a very shallow grasp of our Constitution. Health care is not a federal responsibility, for example, yet he speaks of a better federal replacement and he seizes on no opportunity to point out that, 80 years after the power grab of the New Deal, the federal government is a ghastly plutocratic, metastasizing, socialist monstrosity. This is as much a cause of our decay as the madness of multiculturalism, so perhaps he is not as insightful as I hope.
Still, he must contend with the state of public awareness as he finds it and there’s no denying he alone has seen the awakening of the historic builders of this country and their anger at seeing it (1) in the thrall of a destructive minority underclass that demands special privileges, lays waste to our cities, and plagues us with crime and (2) given away to parasites and obvious enemies.
Our difficulties are so obvious as to their cause and solution that it is simply dismaying that public opinion moves at such a glacial pace to support nationalist leaders. Our lives are plagued by what I can only describe as satanic minds.
And, yes, nothing less than a complete population transfer will save us. Muslims have rid E. Timor, N. Africa, the M.E., and Turkey of Christians, Zoroastrians, and Yazidis and subjected the remnants of those populations to a life of fear and degradation, so on what basis would they complain?
So perhaps we can order our future lives with two precepts well understood by children in the playground:
1. doesn’t mix well with others, and
2. tit for tat.
For the Treason Class who plague us, however, I suspect even that is too complicated.
“Muslims belong in their own countries. Period.”
They 100% agree with you and would like to make your country their country and then you can leave or convert.
Why is the right question. In countries that have unemployment and run on deficits, why?
