“There’s No Simple, Painless Solution”
“There is no simple, painless solution. The world has to reduce debt, shrink the financial part of the economy, and change the destructive incentive structures in finance. Individuals in developed countries have to save more and spend less. Companies have to go back to real engineering. Governments have to balance their books better. Banking must become a mechanism for matching savers and borrowers, financing real things. Banks cannot be larger than nations, countries in themselves. Countries cannot rely on debt and speculation for prosperity. The world must live within its means.”
– Satyajit Das, ‘Extreme Money — Masters of the Universe and the Cult of Risk’.
There is now almost $16 trillion worth of sovereign debt trading with a negative yield. Last week the credit bubble entered new territory with two euro zone issuers of corporate debt, Germany’s Henkel and France’s Sanofi, joining them. This may, just may, happen to mark the top of the great bond bull run that started as far back as the early 1980s. By Friday of last week, the implications of an ugly slide across bond and stock markets may have led some fund managers and traders to soil themselves, or suffer heart problems, or both. By a happy coincidence, however, Henkel makes Persil laundry detergent, and Sanofi makes treatments for cardiovascular disease. So any affected “investors” dumb enough to have bought those guaranteed loss-makers and then suffered immediate regret don’t have to look too far for a remedy.
All of these problems were forecastable. Ludwig von Mises wrote, in his 1927 book ‘Liberalism’, that government intervention in markets would lead inevitably to unintended consequences that precipitated further government intervention, leading to further unintended consequences…

CNN’s Gupta: Clinton Health Document Release ‘Not a Release of Medical Records by Any Means’

HSBC Case Blows Lid Off Clinton’s Offshore Empire
NEW YORK — The arrest of the head of global foreign exchange cash trading at HSBC bank may shed new light on suspicions the Clinton Foundation has been involved in illegal offshore money-laundering operations on a massive scale.
The investigation into HSBC currency trader Mark Johnson and associate Stuart Scott for their alleged role in a “conspiracy to rig currency benchmarks” by front-running customer orders has escalated to the point where the Department of Justice is threatening to tear up a 2012 agreement to fine HSBC a historic $1.9 billion for money-laundering violations in lieu of criminal prosecutions.
At issue is whether or not HSBC has honored the 2012 deferred-prosecution agreement in which the bank agreed to establish internal review procedures to catch and punish potentially criminal activities by employees.

More Jobs Shipped Out of the Country: Ford Moves All Small Car Production to Mexico
Could Ford keep jobs in America?
Of course they could. During the second quarter of 2016, Ford reported a net income of 2,000,000,000 dollars.
But if they move production to Mexico they can boost that profit just a little bit higher.
Shame on them.
Needless to say, Donald Trump is quite upset about this move by Ford. This was his response…
“We shouldn’t allow it to happen. They’ll make their cars, they’ll employ thousands of people, not from this country and they’ll sell their car across the border,” Trump said. “When we send our jobs out of Michigan, we’re also sending our tax base.”
And he is exactly right about all of this. We can’t afford to lose more good paying jobs, we can’t afford for the middle class to shrink any more than it already has, and we certainly can’t afford our tax base to continue to deteriorate.
We may think that we can live on borrowed money indefinitely, but that is going to catch up with us in a major way at some point.

Tale of the Tape: Trump, Clinton Release Medical Records — Will it Quell Health Debate?
The test results are in — but the release of new medical details on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is unlikely to stop the jabs between the two camps about each other’s fitness for office.
As Trump released the results of his physical on Thursday, following a new letter from Clinton’s doctor a day earlier, both candidates tried to settle questions about their personal health.
Those questions have stemmed in part from the candidates’ ages; Trump is 70 and Clinton is 68. The Democratic nominee’s health drew intense attention, though, after she was seen stumbling away from a 9/11 memorial event Sunday — and then dropped off the campaign trail for three days to recover from what the campaign revealed was a bout of pneumonia.
As Clinton returned to the campaign trail Thursday, she assured she’s feeling better.

Teen’s Quick Thinking Thwarts Uber Driver’s Kidnapping
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Twin Cities Uber driver is charged with trying to kidnap a young woman he picked up on the job.
Dahir Aden, 50, is charged with a felony count of false imprisonment after he refused to drive a teenage girl home and instead took her to his home in West St. Paul. The girl told police Aden planned to sexually assault her.
Investigators say it was the girl’s quick thinking that allowed her to be rescued.
According to the criminal complaint, Dahir Aden picked up a young woman from her North Minneapolis apartment the night of Aug. 4. He then picked up her friend — who was dropped off at work in south Minneapolis.
Then the girl asked to go back home, but Aden refused.
“The person who shows up doesn’t take them to where they want to go,” Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said.
Aden allegedly began driving the girl to his apartment in West St. Paul. The girl texted her friend telling him to call police.
When the man and victim arrived at his apartment, he told the girl “go inside to have quick sex,” and told her to hang up her phone.
The girl texted her friend a picture of Aden’s car and his address — police immediately responded. Aden was questioned and arrested…

Wikileaks’ Guccifer 2.0: Obama Sold Off Public Offices to Donors
The leaks include more evidence of overt corruption within the DNC. One email dated May 18, 2016, from Jacquelyn Lopez, an attorney with the law firm Perkins Coie, asked DNC staff if they could set up a brief call “to go over our process for handling donations from donors who have given us pay to play letters.”
Included in the leak was a list of high-profile donors from 2008 and the ambassadorship they received in exchange for their large donation to the DNC and Barack Obama’s Organizing For Action (OFA). Essentially, Obama was auctioning off foreign ambassador positions and other office positions while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state. The largest donor listed at contributions totaling over $3.5 million, Matthew Barzun, served as U.S. Ambassador to Sweden from 2009 to 2011, served as President Obama’s National Finance Chair during his 2012 reelection campaign, and now serves as U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Detailed Map Shows Milky Way Bigger Than We Thought
First results from Gaia probe also appear to solve old controversy over Pleiades cluster.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released the largest, most detailed map of the Milky Way, pinpointing the 3D positions of 1.1 billion stars, 400 million of which were previously unknown to science.
ESA’s Gaia space observatory mapped out the catalogue. It is expected to transform what astronomers know about the Galaxy — allowing researchers to discover new extrasolar planets, examine the distribution of dark matter, and fine-tune models of how stars evolve.
Hundreds of astronomers began to access the database as soon as it was made publicly available on 14 September, says Gaia project scientist Timo Prusti, who works at ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. “My advice to the astronomical community is: please enjoy with us,” he said at a press conference in Madrid.
Gaia has already found more stars than researchers expected, which suggests that the Milky Way may be slightly bigger than previously estimated, says Gisella Clementini, a Gaia researcher at the Bologna Astronomical Observatory in Italy.

French Prime Minister: 15,000 People on Radical Islamist Watch List — ‘Learn to Live With Terrorism’
Shortly after the Nice attack, in which an Islamic radical killed 86 people by driving a truck through a crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France would have to “learn to live with terrorism.” As you might expect, the remark landed with a thud, since people who appease terrorists have a tendency not to live at all…
Sadly, in ordering his country to “learn to live with terrorism,” Valls is really telling his people that, yes, some people are going to have to watch their friends and loved ones be slaughtered. Stop complaining and suck it up. It’s a small price to pay for your Prime Minister’s globalist leanings, right?

French Jews Are Converting to Islam and Even Joining ISIS
According to reports from Jewish leaders in France, there is concern about a rise in conversions to Islam from within the Jewish community.
According to reports from Jewish community leaders in France, there is growing concern about a rise in conversions to Islam from within the Jewish community, with the active encouragement of French Moslems.
Sammy Ghozlan, head of the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Antisemitism in France says he knows of cases where entire families converted to Islam. The 15-year-old daughter of a Jewish doctor wrote that “all the Jews must be killed” after converting.
In many cases the Moslem recruiters who wish to persuade Sephardic Jewish youth to convert, entice them by pointing out their joint background from Islamic countries and the difference between their culture and that of the French Christians.
Ghozlan added that another factor attracting youth is the power of Islam and ISIS to carry out terror attacks in the Western world. The youths do not see Israel as a successful entity as they might have once and identify more with ISIS’s success.
A number of years ago it was reported that French Jews were even joining the ranks of ISIS after their conversions and travelling to ISIS- occupied territories. It is estimated that there are 100,000 French converts to Islam from both Jewish and Christian backgrounds but it is difficult to ascertain precise numbers of the Jewish converts.
The Jewish community has set up a de-Islamification fund as well as a hotline for youth wishing to convert in an attempt to combat this phenomenon.

Gaia’s Map of 1 Billion Stars is the Clearest View of Our Gala
YXWelcome to the age of mass-produced star-gazing. Over 400 million stars have been discovered as part of a project to create the most accurate star map ever. The European Space Agency (ESA) satellite, Gaia, has just released its catalogue of over 1 billion stars in the Milky Way, launching a new era of astronomy.
“In the future we will realise that this was a big day for our understanding of the universe,” says Paolo Tanga from the Côte d’Azur Observatory. “When people will talk about the formation of our solar system, its environment and the nearby stars, our understanding will come thanks to Gaia.”
The huge number of stars that Gaia has made visible to astronomers can hardly be overstated. Of the 1.1 billion stars in the Gaia map, it’s estimated that nearly half are new discoveries. “It’s a 1000 times expansion of what we can see today in the stars” says Tanga. “It’s a completely different sky.”
Over the next weeks, months, and years, scientists will sift through the huge dataset. And for the next 20 years or so, we can expect this to lead to new discoveries about our galaxy. “If the Gaia satellite was destroyed today,” says Tanga, “it would have already changed astronomy forever.”

Germany: Newspaper Reveals Terror Attackers’ Chats With ISIS
In July two men carried out terror attacks in northern Bavaria within the space of a week. The Süddeutsche Zeitung has published the chilling contents of chats it reports the men had with the Isis terror group.
The first attack took place just south of Würzburg in northern Bavaria.
On July 18th Riaz A., a 17-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan boarded a train and started attacking passengers with an axe before fleeing into the night. He attacked another woman before police shot him dead.
Riaz A. had arrived in Germany without his parents and, according to investigators, had done nothing which would suggest he was a potential terrorist.
Six days later Mohammed D., a 27-year-old asylum seeker from Syria, detonated a bomb in Ansbach, also in northern Bavaria, and killed himself while injuring over a dozen other people.

Germany: Pregnant Woman Attacked at Home — Mother and Unborn Child Dead
[Translated by HB]
A bloodbath took place on On Wednesday afternoon in the small town of Kirchroth in Bavaria, Germany. An unknown person has killed a heavily pregnant woman and her unborn baby.
Kirchroth — Around 14:30 on Wednesday, the 45-year-old woman was found by her husband covered in blood at their home. Although the woman was taken to hospital immediately, the unborn child died shortly afterwards. Later in the evening the woman too succumbed to her injuries.
The circumstances of this violent act are extremely mysterious. Apparently the woman was attacked by an unknown person and the murder weapon was “a dangerous object”, according to police. The motive for the killing is still unclear.
The regional television Donau.TV reported that the woman was painting an outer wall of their house with her ??husband and had then briefly gone into the house. She apparently surprised a stranger who then stabbed her with a knife. The police wanted neither to confirm nor deny this version of events.

Italy: Bersani Says U.S. Comment on Referendum ‘Unbelievable’
U.S. ambassador warned against ‘No’ vote
(ANSA) — Rome, September 13 — Pier Luigi Bersani, a former leader of the left-leaning Democratic Party (PD), said on Tuesday that comments by the U.S. ambassador to Italy warning against a “No” vote in Italy’s institutional reform referendum were hard to believe.
Earlier, U.S. Ambassador to Rome John Phillips said that “it would be a step back for foreign investment in Italy” if the No vote won in the referendum on the government’s overhaul of the country’s political machinery. “The U.S. ambassador’s words are unbelievable. Who do they take us for?” PD grandee Bersani told reporters on Tuesday. Earlier, several members of the right-leaning Forza Italia and the Northern League also slammed the U.S. for interfering in Italian internal affairs. The government’s reform amends the Constitution and, among other things, turns the Senate into a leaner assembly of local government representatives with limited powers to save money and make passing legislation easier.

Italy: Centre-Right Parties Slam U.S. Envoy Comments on Referendum
U.S. ambassador said No vote would be ‘step back’
(ANSA) — Rome, September 13 — Members of Italian centre-right party Forza Italia and the rightwing Northern League accused U.S. Ambassador to Italy John Phillips of inappropriate meddling on Tuesday after he spoke out against a No vote in the country’s referendum on political reform late this year.
Phillips earlier said a No vote against Premier Matteo Renzi’s reform, which amends the Constitution and turns the Senate into a leaner assembly, “would be a step back for foreign investment in Italy”.
Paolo Romani, head of former premier Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia group in the Senate, said the comments were “undue interference” from Phillips.
“It’s frankly a lapse that we wouldn’t have expected,” said Romani, arguing that a No vote would not have the negative consequences mentioned by the U.S. representative.
Berlusconi on Friday criticised Renzi and the constitutional reform, saying that it was a way for the premier and his Democratic Party (PD) to tighten their grip on power.
Gianluca Pini, a deputy from the Northern League, described Phillip’s statements as “an inappropriate and rude attempt” by U.S. President Barack Obama to keep Renzi in power.
On Monday it was announced that Obama will lay on a State dinner for Renzi at the White House on October 18.
Rightwing populist anti-euro and anti-immigrant League leader Matteo Salvini said Phillips “should mind his own business”.
Italy is set to vote in late November or early December on the reform that would turn the Senate into a leaner, regionally based assembly with limited law-making powers, cutting gridlock and expenses. A No vote would have a knock-on effect on the government of Renzi, who initially said he would quit if the reform was defeated but has recently hinted that would no longer be so.
Italy’s business leaders have come out strongly for a Yes vote.

Neolithic Snowshoe Found in Italy’s Dolomite Mountains
The Telegraph reports that a snowshoe discovered on the Gurgler Eisjoch glacier at an altitude of about 10,000 feet has been dated to between 3800 and 3700 B.C. The snowshoe, made of birch wood, was found by cartographer Simone Bartolini of Italy’s Military Geographical Institute in 2003 while he was mapping the border with Austria. Bartolini says that he thought the snowshoe might have been about 100 years old, but he recently realized that it could be much older and handed it over to archaeologists.
The new date suggests that the snowshoe is about 500 years older than the frozen mummy known as Ötzi the Iceman, who was found in the same region about 25 years ago. Catrin Marzoli, director of the cultural heritage department for South Tyrol province, said at a press conference that the shoe is further evidence that well-equipped people were traveling through the Alps in the Neolithic period, perhaps hunting, fleeing enemies, or engaging in ritual activity.

PST: Every Fifth Extremist in Norway is a Muslim Convert
A new report from the Norwegian Police Security Service (Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste — PST) has found that nearly every fifth radicalized Muslim is a convert to the religion.
The PST study attempted to investigate the backgrounds of people in extreme Islamist groups. Everyone in the representative sample study by the security service had been radicalized in Norway and all were under the age of 40.
A full 88 percent of the radicalized individuals have an ethnic background other than Norwegian and over 30 different nationalities are represented amongst the radicalized individuals. Some 76 percent of the extremists have Norwegian citizenship.
The vast majority, 88 percent, are men and 68 percent of those men have been either suspected, charged or convicted of a crime before they became radicalized.

Rotherham Girl’s Family Fled UK After Abuse by Asian Men, Court Told
Eight men from South Yorkshire town allegedly groomed and sexually exploited underage girls between 1999 and 2003
The family of a “lovely” 13-year-old girl who claims to have been groomed for sex by Asian men in Rotherham were so afraid of her alleged abusers that they moved to Spain after their complaints to the police, social services, their MP and the home secretary went unresolved, a court has heard.
The girl, who cannot be named, is the main complainant in the trial of eight men from the South Yorkshire town who allegedly groomed and sexually exploited three underage girls between 1999 and 2003.
Now 27 and a campaigner against child sexual exploitation, she claims her abusers threatened to “gang rape” her mother if she did not submit to their sexual abuse, which took place largely in an alley behind a branch of Boots in Rotherham town centre, in a local park and in bushes near a museum, Sheffield crown court heard on Tuesday.
She claims that Sageer Hussain, 30, first raped her behind Boots when she was 13 and later called her a “white slag” when she tried and failed to stop him.

Germany Shuts Ankara Embassy Amid Fear of Attack by Erdogan Supporters
Germany has temporarily closed its embassy in Ankara, reportedly because of fears of an attack. Turks are said to be outraged by a German magazine’s depiction of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a dictator.
Germany closed its embassy and all other consular offices in Turkey on Wednesday, with reports that officials feared the buildings might come under attack.
The Foreign Ministry confirmed that its embassy and consular offices, including the main consulate in Istanbul, would be closed from September 12 to September 16. However, the ministry did not comment on the reason.
Germany’s “Bild” newspaper reported that the decision had been taken as a precaution after the German Foreign Ministry learned that mob attacks were likely during the Eid al-Adha religious holiday. Public outrage in Turkey was said to be brewing over the depiction of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the latest edition of German news magazine “Der Spiegel.”

Security Prompts Britain to Close Turkish Embassy for Day
Britain says it’s embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara will be closed on Friday for security reasons.
The British government posted the one-day closure notice on its official website on Thursday, but did not elaborate on the reasons for the decision.
It also advised against all travel to within 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of Turkey’s border with Syria and to the city of Diyarbakir in the country’s southeast.
Turkey launched military operations into northern Syria last month to battle back Islamic State group fighters and to contain the expansion of Syrian Kurdish militia.
Britain’s announcement came a day after Germany temporarily closed its embassy, all other consular offices and a school in Turkey following a newspaper report about fears of a possible attack.

Thailand: Translator Trouble Deepens Delay in Erawan Bomb Trial
The trial of two Chinese Uighurs accused of the deadly Erawan shrine bombing was postponed for a second time on Thursday as the court again failed to find a suitable interpreter for the defendants.
The August 2015 bombing left 20 dead at Ratchawong intersection in the centre of Bangkok in an unprecedented attack.
The two accused, , were scooped up by police in the days after the bombing and have been held in military custody ever since.
Both deny the charges.
More than a dozen ethnic Chinese tourists were among the dead when explosives in an abandoned backpack detonated in the Hindu shrine popular with tourists on Aug 17 last year.
The explosion came weeks after the military goverrnmnt forcibly repatriated 109 Uighurs to China, where rights activists says the Turkic-speaking Muslim minority face cultural and religious repression.

China Defends Ally North Korea and Blasts ‘Unhelpful’ Sanctions After Fifth Nuclear Test

It comes as North Korea carried out its fifth and most powerful nuclear test just last week, despite warnings from UN forces against such hostile actions.
China’s foreign minister Wang Yi told his Japanese counterpart they did not support tougher sanctions on its fellow communist state, instead calling for a return to discussions between other countries.

Japan to Increase Activities in South China Sea, Defense Minister Says
Japan’s defense minister says its forces will increase engagement in the South China Sea through training cruises with the U.S. Navy and multilateral exercises with regional navies.
Newly appointed Defense Minister Tomomi Inada says Japan will also help build the capacity of coastal nations. She was speaking ahead her first meeting with U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter Thursday in Washington.
Japan, a close U.S. ally, is not among the countries claiming territory in the disputed South China Sea but shares U.S. concern about China’s assertive behavior there.
Japan has a separate territorial dispute with China over unoccupied islands they both claim farther north in the East China Sea.

Oldest Indigo-Dyed Fabric Ever is Discovered in Peru
The oldest indigo-dyed fabric ever found has been discovered in Peru, pushing back the use of this blue coloring to at least 6,200 years ago.
Previously, the oldest sample of blue-dyed fabric dated to around 4,400 years ago in Egypt, with the oldest written references to blue dye going back to around 5,000 years ago in the Middle East. The discovery in Peru, however, shines a spotlight on the Americas, which are less-discussed in terms of firsts, said study researcher Jeffrey Splitstoser, an archaeologist and textile expert at The George Washington University.

An Up-Close Look at Refugee Rescues on the Mediterranean
In an exhausting 15-hour operation, a German boat intercepts 24 inflatable rafts carrying African migrants fleeing the Libyan coast for Italy.
About 150 people cram aboard a 36-foot inflatable boat on the Mediterranean Sea, roughly 12 nautical miles off the Libyan coast. They hope to reach Italy, but no inflatable boat is known to have made it all the way. Most are picked up by ships.
For refugees from Africa fleeing conflict or simply searching for a better life, the Mediterranean route from Libya to Sicily is one of the primary paths to Europe. This year about 270,000 migrants have traveled to Europe by sea.

Far-Right and Refugees in Mass Fight in East German Town
In an eastern German town which has become synonymous with xenophobia, police broke up a fight between 80 locals and 20 refugees on Wednesday.
In the town of Bautzen in the former East German state of Saxony violence between locals and refugees has broken out again.
Police reported on Thursday that around 80 men and women associated with the far-right scene descended on a square in the town on Wednesday evening. In addition around 20 young male refugees also gathered there opposite them.
Witnesses report that the two groups exchanged insults and that physical fights broke out and glass bottles were thrown.
On the previous evening a 32-year-old from the town had already been injured when he was hit by a bottle in a small fight.
This is just the latest in repeated conflicts in the town between refugees and locals.

Merkel Demands German Firms Hire Unqualified Migrants Quickly
Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday that Germany needed “viable solutions” to integrate refugees into the workforce faster after she met with blue-chip companies, which have hired just over 100 refugees since around a million arrived in the country last year.
Merkel, fighting for her political life over her open-door policy, summoned the bosses of some of Germany’s biggest companies to Berlin on Wednesday to account for their lack of action and exchange ideas about how they can do better.
Many of the companies contend that a lack of German-language skills, the inability of most refugees to prove any qualifications and uncertainty about their permission to stay in the country mean there is little they can do in the short term.
Merkel told rbb-inforadio that if needed, special provisions could be developed to speed up the integration of refugees into the workforce, but she acknowledged this would still take time.

Mexico Builds a “Wall” (and Guess Who Paid For It)
Mexico is building a ‘wall’… on its southern border (to keep illegal immigrants out). Perhaps even more ironic, The FT notes that the Obama administration is coy about its role in Mexico’s crackdown but is sending $75m in equipment and training to help stop Central Americans from crossing illegally into Mexico… in other words, US Taxpayers funded a Mexican wall to keep immigrants out.
The UN estimates 400,000 Central Americans cross illegally into Mexico each year and as many as half of those are fleeing violence. But as The FT reports, Mexico already acts as a formidable barrier for many…
Zero net immigration of Mexicans into the US and an 82 per cent fall in people caught trying to cross the US-Mexico border in the past 10 years means that most would-be immigrants detained there are Central Americans. Even without Mr Trump’s fortress frontier, Mexico finds itself under increasing pressure to stem the migrant tide near its source — its own southern border.
“Mexico has become a wall for migrants,” said Sister Magdalena Silva, co-ordinator of Cafemin, a privately run shelter in Mexico City that takes in refugee families, including Rosa’s. “The current policy is to arrest migrants to stop them from getting to the US border.”…
Unlike in the US, Mexico has broadened asylum laws to recognise that fleeing violence of the kind practised by the street gangs of Honduras and El Salvador can classify someone as a refugee. But the odds are still stacked against asylum seekers: Mexico deported a record 175,000 Central Americans last year, up 68 per cent from the previous year and nearly two-and-a-half times the number deported by the US.

Obama Announces a Plan to Bring in up to Four Times as Many Syrian Refugees in 2017
Obama says that we must play our part in taking in those displaced by the ongoing Syrian civil war
In 2016, approximately 10,000 Syrian refugees were brought into the United States, but in 2017 that number could skyrocket to 40,000 under Barack Obama’s new plan.
Obama says that we must play our part in taking in those displaced by the ongoing Syrian civil war, but Republicans in Congress are outraged by this announcement and remain deeply concerned that there are terrorists among the refugees that are being brought in. The Obama administration insists that all refugees are being subjected to rigorous screening, but his critics are quite skeptical. Coming out of the midst of a five year civil war, documentation is scarce for many of these refugees, and there aren’t too many people that you can call over there that can serve as a solid reference at this point.
According to USA Today, the total number of refugees worldwide that will be brought in next year is scheduled to rise by 29 percent under Obama’s new plan…

The 30 Million Immigrants Trump Would Turn Away
The candidate’s plan to constrict legal immigration would sharply reduce the flow of immigration over the next half century.
by Ronald Brownstein
As a result, after subtracting deaths and departures, the current U.S. immigrant population of about 45 million would remain unchanged or even shrink in coming decades under Trump’s limits. By contrast, under current trends Pew projects that immigrant population to grow by fully 33 million through 2065. And because future immigrants and their children are projected to provide nearly 90 percent of the total U.S. population growth over that period, “you would be talking about a country that would grow more slowly,” Lopez adds. Over time, that would mean fewer new consumers, homebuyers, and workers.

Sweden’s Military Gets Special Gender Handbook
The Swedish Armed Forces have launched a new handbook with the aim of teaching its employees to use a gender-equal perspective in military operations.
“This is part of broader work on gender questions and equality that comes in different forms. On the one hand it deals with how we handle gender questions in military operations, on the other it also addresses how we look at gender issues in the organization,” Chief of Operations Jan Thörnqvist told The Local.
The Gender Handbook (Handbok gender) was published earlier this month, and consists of three separate sections. The guide starts with theoretical grounding, moves on to a section on implementation then finishes with a number of examples to help readers grasp how the concepts work in practice.

British ambassador converts to islam
“The Saudis, and many other Muslims, are ecstatic. Simon Collis, the British ambassador to Saudi Arabia, has just revealed to the world that he has converted to Islam (he did this a few years ago, but it was kept quiet until now). And he this week just completed the Hajj, the first British Ambassador to do so.”
Can we expect the Saudi Arabian Ambassador in London to convert to Christianity any time soon as Quid Pro Quo?
I’m not holding my breath!
“According to the United Nations’ envoy to Libya, 235,000 migrants are poised to emigrate from there to Italy, and will make the Mediterranean crossing as soon as it becomes feasible.”
I was under the impression Italy had a Navy, you know that sort of sea going armed force that can act like a Policeman when called upon. Why would Italy send it’s Navy out to assist in the passage of illegal immigrants (most with no legitimate refugee claim) to the Italian mainland? Seems like madness. A much better strategy is to use the Navy to do what it’s is designed to do; intercept, commandeer and turn back those boats carrying passengers with no valid travel documents.
Meanwhile Pakistan, without a murmur from the UN is returning thousands of Afghan refugees to their homeland with immediate effect! Regardless of whether they wish to return or not, basically they are being deported/repatriated as no longer wanted in Pakistan.
Yet the UN has the temerity to lambasted the EU on its refugee policy. Let’s get real in Europe – if you are North African, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, in other words not a GENUINE Saudi refugee (with paperwork to validate it) you should be returned from whence you came. There are even thousands of North Africans massed on the Mexican Border waiting to get into the USA. Who is financing this? Soros and others of his ilk, why can’t these odious creatures be dragged out in the light of day and punished for the treacherous behaviour, have the western populace become so cowered, so effete that they are literally prepared to commit cultural suicide without a whimper, without one into of dignity left?
I think you meant to say “…GENUINE Syrian refugee…”, there’s really no justification for anyone from Saudi Arabia to claim to be a refugee.
Neither from Syria. ISIS and sharia is what most muslims want anyway, so let them stay there.
Real refugees are christian minorities from ME countries, but their number is very very small, definitely not boatloads (pun intended) of people.
Western Europe is done, finished, and completely changed forever. there is no turning back. The citizenry have been sold out, thrown under the bus, and will suffer for a century or more. IMHO life in Western Europe will become a living hell.
Dear Sir,
as I could see recently, my article “Actions will speak” was translated and published on Gates of Vienna. I take this as an honour. But I have to make clear, that our magazine has no bad reputation although some groups of the far left are doing their best to blame us. The Neue Ordnung was founded by Graf Strachwitz in the 1950ies and always was open to national-conservative, Christian-conservative and monarchist publishers. Even Prof Paul Gottfried, a famous paleoconservative from the States and Prof. Martin Creveld, the well known military historian in Tel Aviv are regularly writing for our magazine.
As I am sometimes in London, it would be a pleasure to meet you, if you are interested to hear more about our magazine and publishing house or Austrian inner politics.
Sincerely yours,
Wolfgang Dvorak-Stocker
Mr. Dvorak-Stocker —
I assume you’re referring to this post, which was a translation by JLH. His note indicated that he was aware of Neue Ordnung’s reputation, but didn’t think it was deserved.
We in the Counterjihad are well aware of the smear labels that are routinely attached to people and publications that oppose Islamization and mass immigration. This site has been called “hateful”, “racist”, “fascist”, “neo-Nazi”, and God knows what else. So our policy is to consider any given article on its merits, rather than according to what names the author or the publication have been called.
Baron, to that you might also add that you don’t reside in London. If Mr. Dvorak-Stocker wants to meet with you he’s going to have to travel a good bit further than just to London.
Yes, that’s quite true. Good point!
Let the scientists and engineers. Merkel is busy forcing companies to hire these highly qualified people. One CEO even said that the one of the benefits of hiring migrants was the greater diversity.
Greater diversity most certainly does not translate into more productivity, especially, migrants from third world tend to be lazy, incompetent and less productive, even though some of them may have high qualification.
