The Bank for International Settlements Warns That a Major Debt Meltdown in China is Imminent

The pinnacle of the global financial system is warning that conditions are right for a “full-blown banking crisis” in China. Since the last financial crisis, there has been a credit boom in China that is really unprecedented in world history. At this point the total value of all outstanding loans in China has hit a grand total of more than 28 trillion dollars. That is essentially equivalent to the commercial banking systems of the United States and Japan combined. While it is true that government debt is under control in China, corporate debt is now 171 percent of GDP, and it is only a matter of time before that debt bubble horribly bursts. The situation in China has already grown so dire that the Bank for International Settlements is sounding the alarm…

3% of Americans Own Half of U.S. Guns

(GUARDIAN) Americans own an estimated 265m guns, more than one gun for every American adult, according to the most definitive portrait of US gun ownership in two decades. But the new survey estimates that 133m of these guns are concentrated in the hands of just 3% of American adults — a group of super-owners who have amassed an average of 17 guns each.

The unpublished Harvard/Northeastern survey result summary, obtained exclusively by the Guardian and the Trace, estimates that America’s gun stock has increased by 70m guns since 1994. At the same time, the percentage of Americans who own guns decreased slightly from 25% to 22%.

The new survey, conducted in 2015 by public health researchers from Harvard and Northeastern universities, also found that the proportion of female gun owners is increasing as fewer men own guns. These women were more likely to own a gun for self-defense than men, and more likely to own a handgun only.

[Comment: 3%, doubtful. Looks like part of an upcoming propaganda deception designed to paint gun owners as those crazy 3 per-centers.]

Blame for Ford’s Mexico Move Falls on Obama Administration

Ford Motor Company made headlines on Wednesday, September 9, when, during an investor conference, CEO Mark Fields told attendees that it will invest $1.6 billion building a manufacturing plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and will move all of its small car production there during the next two to three years. The announcement was hardly news as Ford has been talking about the shift for more than a year. But in the throes of an election that has both candidates decrying companies that send jobs to low-wage countries, the decision was an invitation for attention. The next day, during a speech in Flint, MI, Donald Trump declared that it was: “horrible.” He’s previously called the proposed move “an absolute disgrace” and promised to punish Ford with a 35 percent tariff on cars made in Mexico that are then sold in America-which he believes will prevent them from moving production out of the U.S.

[Comment: Under proposed TPP rules, Ford could prevent a president Trump decision to put a tariffs on their cars. Basically the end of sovereignty. Corporations rule — just like the dystopian world in the movie Rollerball starring James Caan. TurdPP should be flushed down the toilet where it belongs.]

Bloomberg Reporter Asks Clinton if She Thinks Recent Terror Attacks Could be Russian Plot to Help Trump

America’s worthless media caught once again asking Hillary Clinton all the really important questions.

Such as…(from Mediaite):

Bloomberg Politics reporter Jennifer Epstein asked Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during a press conference Monday whether she believed the previous weekend’s terrorist attacks in New York and Jersey were a plot- possibly carried out by the Russians- to get her Republican opponent Donald Trump more votes.

Bombing Suspect’s Journal Referenced Bin Laden, Awlaki, Sources Say

Moments after the dramatic shootout that ended with the capture of bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami in New Jersey, police recovered his journal which included references to Usama Bin Laden and the American terror cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a law enforcement source close to the investigation told Fox News on Tuesday.

Also, Rahami’s father claimed he called the FBI on his own son two years ago — but a source said he immediately recanted. And according to a neighbor, the father said in 2014 that his son may have been in contact with people overseas collecting explosives, ABC News reported.

The notebook that turned up on Rahami, pierced with a bullet hole, also included writing that referenced “killing the kuffar,” or unbeliever, a senior law enforcement official told The New York Times.

Rahami’s father, Mohammad, spoke to reporters outside his home in Elizabeth, N.J. “Two years I called the FBI, my son, he’s doing very bad, OK? But they check it almost two months… They say he’s not a terrorist. I said, ‘OK.’ Now they say he is a terrorist. I say, ‘OK.’“

Investigators said they believed the 28-year-old suspect planted bombs in New York City, as well as Elizabeth and Seaside Park, N.J. One of the devices exploded in Manhattan Saturday night, wounding 29 people.

Caddell: George H.W. Bush Endorsement of Hillary Clinton is Establishment ‘Protection Racket’

Long-time Democratic pollster Pat Caddell joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Tuesday to discuss recent polling, as well as news that former President George H.W. Bush may be voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton. “This is a protection racket here, and they have never been under greater threat,” said Caddell, referencing the candidacy of GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“It’s not surprising in a way,” he continued. “We misunderstand that this Trump thing is not so much an ideological contest, even a partisan contest. It’s really an insurgency against the political class by the people. That’s why both Bernie Sanders and Trump did so well” in their respective primaries.

Added Caddell, “Behind closed doors, what you have is a sense of an alliance,” pointing out that while one party may be up and the other down at times, they still “eat at the same trough” in Washington.

Chaos Breaks Out at Mall of America During Islamic Celebration

Editor’s Note: For video of the event, click here. On September 12, 2016 at least 10 people were arrested or cited by Bloomington Police after a melee broke out during the Islamic celebration of Eid Al Adha at the Mall of America KARE 11 reports. According to KARE 11, the people who were arrested or cited all were between the ages of 12-15. Four were boys and six were girls. The police did not comment on what started the melee, but the reports state that those involved were cited on charges of disorderly conduct, obstructing the legal process and giving false information to the police. The video above shows hundreds of young people, many dressed in traditional Muslim attire, running through the mall. The incident occurred on Eid Al Adha — also known as “The Festival of Sacrifice” an Islamic…

Democrats Are Losing Control of Black Americans

Regardless of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump’s rise will force the Democratic Party to eventually have to address how its elected officials have neglected black Americans, its most loyal constituency.

The Democratic Party’s worse nightmare happened when Donald Trump reached out to black Americans at a campaign rally in Wisconsin. Trump’s outreach was prefaced by challenging blacks to do an honest assessment of their return on investment after 50 years of voting Democrat. The most damning words that Trump spoke were “what the hell do you have to lose” by voting Trump? The last thing Democrats want blacks to do is to ponder that very question, knowing that the answer is nothing.

Firearms Trainer Killed Somali Mall Terrorist

(STAR TRIBUNE) The off-duty police officer who confronted and fatally shot the man suspected of stabbing nine people in a St. Cloud mall was roundly praised for split-second heroics that likely saved others from harm.

As a onetime police chief early this decade in nearby Albany, Jason F. Falconer was careful Sunday afternoon not to impede the nascent investigation into the attack Saturday night at Crossroads Center, violence that federal authorities are treating as a potential act of terrorism.

“I’ve been trying to stay away from it all, for the time being,” said Falconer, a medal-winning marksman who operates a firearms training business in neighboring Waite Park.

Hillary Clinton Uses the UN to Advance Her Progressive Globalist Agenda

Hillary Clinton is planning to hold “a number of bilateral meetings” during this week’s gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where climate change and the rights of migrants and refugees will top the agenda. Hillary loves the United Nations. She said while serving in the Senate, for example, that “a strong United Nations is in America’s interest.” As Secretary of State, she declared that the UN “remains the single most important global institution.” She added, “We are constantly reminded of its value.” The UN’s value to Hillary, however, requires this organization of sovereign states to overstep the limitation on its authority set out in the United Nations Charter. The UN Charter specifically stipulates that the UN is not allowed to “intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state.” Globalists like Hillary Clinton have sought to use the UN and its endless whirl of global forums, summits, and treaties to advance what Hillary has called “progressive internationalism.”

Liberals Denounce the Media for Not Derailing Trump’s Candidacy

The liberal media are freaking out over the possibility that Donald Trump might win the presidency.

They are denouncing their profession, decrying what they see as a press corps that coddles Trump and castigates Hillary Clinton, and demanding a change before it is too late.

Let’s take a deep breath and see if they have a credible case, or whether this is pure partisanship.

It’s been just 18 days since Politico reported that Hillary Clinton’s advisers were telling her to prepare for a possible landslide in the Electoral College. Now, with Trump pulling roughly even in national polls and ahead or within striking distance in most battleground states, a Trump administration is no longer some distant mirage.

One Last Year at Saturn: Cassini Heads for Grand Finale

The Cassini spacecraft has studied Saturn for 12 years, and the probe has just one more year to go before its final dive into the planet itself.

To celebrate the spacecraft’s last year, Cassini’s research team released an amazing new video tracking the ringed planet’s atmosphere over the course of four Saturn “days,” or 44 hours. Cassini picks up oval-shaped storms, faint inner rings and the great six-sided jet stream, which is slightly wider than Earth, on the planet’s top.

Cassini first arrived in Saturn’s system in 2004, and beginning Nov. 30, the probe will start in on its final two tasks: exploring Saturn’s narrow F ring over the course of several orbits, and then flying past Saturn’s large moon, Titan, to orbit between Saturn and its rings. Eventually, the probe will plunge into the planet’s atmosphere. Once those observations start, Cassini will be way too close to take a broad view like in the newly released video, but the probe will give all-new insight into the big planet.

However, if what Princeton history and public affairs professor Julian Zelizer wrote overnight on CNN is accurate, the best, or rather worst, is yet to come.

Trump Could Boost GOP’s Black Vote to Levels Not Seen in Decades

Polls suggest African Americans may bid Barack Obama a stinging farewell by handing Donald Trump the biggest Republican share of the black vote in forty-years. For all the efforts of the Clinton war machine, the media and groups like Black Lives Matter to smear Trump as a racist, the Republican candidate saw his popularity soar among African American voters last week. Of all the things that went wrong for Clinton in the last two weeks, her falling numbers among black voters may be scaring the Democrats most all. A Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California daily tracking poll shows put Trump’s support among black voters at 20.1 percent, an increase of 3.1 percent on Sept. 10. At that rate, he would more than triple the 6% black vote Mitt Romney got in 2012. Meantime, Clinton’s support among black voters plunged 20 points to 70.9. Trump’s message of ‘what have you got to lose’ by voting for him may have a struck a nerve with black voters disappointed with what they got from Barack Obama in eight years.

Wells CEO to Tell American People He is “Deeply Sorry” And “Accepts Full Responsibility”, But Won’t Resign

Today at 10am, the US public will be treated to the latest Congressional kangaroo court, when Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf will tell the Senate Banking Committee that he is “deeply sorry”, and accepts “full responsibility” for unethical sales practices in its retail banking business while apologizing for “not doing more sooner” to address the cause of such behavior…

Overnight Reuters pointed out another curious tangent to emerge from the Wells Fargo fraud besides bad bank practices: gaps in U.S. regulatory teamwork, namely that the Justice Department was kept in the dark until the last minute about the San Francisco-based bank’s alleged fake accounts and its $185 million fine, according to people familiar with the situation. That’s why prosecutors are only just now kicking off a probe.

Why Won’t Obama Call it Terrorism?

Everybody knows that what just happened in New York City was an act of Islamic terror, so why won’ t Barack Obama use those words? 28-year-old Afghan immigrant Ahmad Khan Rahami only had one motivation when he planted those improvised explosive devices. He wanted to use violence to promote the cause of Islam. All over the planet radical Islam is on the rise, and we have seen more than 1000 Islamic terror attacks worldwide so far this year. But an extreme form of political correctness is causing many of our leaders to deny what is happening right in front of their eyes. In fact, Barack Obama refused to use the word terrorism when talking about the attack in New York…

President Barack Obama made no mention of terrorism in his remarks on the bombings and attempted bombings in the New York City/New Jersey region over the weekend.

He also chastised the media and urged restraint when reporting about incidents that appear to be terrorist-related.

“I ask that the press try to refrain from getting out ahead of the investigation,” Obama said. “ … it does not help if false reports or incomplete information is out there.”

Throughout his entire presidency, Barack Obama has been extremely reluctant to link radical Islam and terror. When he has spoken of Islam, his remarks have almost always been extremely positive.

X-Ray Detection Sheds New Light on Pluto

Scientists using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have made the first detections of X-rays from Pluto. These observations offer new insight into the space environment surrounding the largest and best-known object in the solar system’s outermost regions.

While NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft was speeding toward and beyond Pluto, Chandra was aimed several times on the dwarf planet and its moons, gathering data on Pluto that the missions could compare after the flyby. Each time Chandra pointed at Pluto — four times in all, from February 2014 through August 2015 — it detected low-energy X-rays from the small planet.

In the northeastern corner of Spain, Sept. 11 has a different meaning than elsewhere in the world. It marks the “Diada,” the national day of Catalonia, dating back to 1714 when Catalan forces in Barcelona surrendered to the conquering armies of the Bourbon monarch. Last week, as has been the case in recent years, hundreds of thousands of people marched in Barcelona and Catalonia’s other main cities on Sept. 11, waving the Estelada — the flag of Catalan separatism — and renewing calls for a Catalonia free from Madrid’s rule.

In addition, around seven people in 10 consider the gap between the rich and poor and between native Dutch and immigrant has widened. Almost everyone — over 90% — who believes there is a widening gap between different parts of society sees it as a problem, Ipsos said.

Eight Men Arrested in Connection With Bastille Day Attack in Nice, French Prosecutors Announce

Eight men have been arrested in connection with the Bastille Day massacre in the French city of Nice, prosecutors announced today.

The suspects are all former associates of Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, the 31-year-old Tunisian who used a 19 tonne lorry to slaughter 86 people on July 14.

His attack was later claimed by ISIS, as the terror organisation said the bloodshed was all part of its ongoing murderous campaign against France.

Six people are already under formal criminal investigation in relation to the case, meaning the total of suspects is now 14.

But the others include Chokri C., Mohamed Oualid G. and Ramzi A., who face criminal trial for ‘complicity to kill as part of gang related to a terrorist enterprise’.

All three are said to have spent time with Lahouaiej-Bouhlel in the days leading up to the attack on a crowd of some 30,000 people attending a fireworks display.

Switzerland: Muslim Pupils Must Shake Hands — ‘No Ifs and Buts’

A school in the canton of Basel-Country has rejected the appeal of a Muslim schoolboy who refused to shake hands with his female teachers for religious reasons.

The boy was one of two teenage brothers at a high school in Therwil who caused a nationwide furore earlier this year when they said shaking hands with female teachers went against their religion, which forbids physical contact with a member of the opposite sex who isn’t family.

In an attempt to find a compromise but avoid discrimination against women, the school initially agreed to exempt the boys from shaking hands with all teachers, regardless of gender.

However the situation subsequently triggered outrage across Switzerland because it was seen as an affront to an intrinsic part of Swiss culture — shaking hands with teachers is a common custom in Swiss schools.

The canton’s education authorities then intervened and ruled that the boys must shake their teachers’ hands or face disciplinary measures, as well as a fine (issued to their parents) of up to 5,000 francs.

World’s First Hydrogen Train to Go Into Service in Germany

Germany is set to host the world’s first zero-emission, hydrogen passenger train when it gets into gear next year.

The hydrogen, or hydrail, train is set to run on the Buxtehude-Bremervörde-Bremerhaven-Cuxhaven line in Lower Saxony starting in December 2017, Die Welt reported on Tuesday.

The train — called the “Coradia iLint” — has been developed over the past two years by French company Alstom and was presented on Tuesday at the Berlin InnoTrans trade show.

The hydrogen train operates using a hydrogen fuel tank, stored on the roof of the train, that in turn powers a fuel cell to produce electrical energy. This technology provides a new environmentally friendly alternative to the diesel trains that are still used across much of Germany.

Kuwait Plans to Create a Huge DNA Database of Residents and Visitors. Scientists Are Appalled.

It sounds like an idea from a bad science-fiction novel. Kuwait is planning to build an enormous DNA database that would compile the genetic makeup not only of citizens living in the Persian Gulf state but also of other residents and even temporary visitors. Such a database would be the first of its kind in the world.

It requires a huge amount of effort to make this idea a reality. It would mean that more than 1.3 million citizens and 2.9 million expatriates would be entered into the database, plus many more visitors. The cost of the project has been estimated at $400 million. There would be serious punishments for those who resist: Refusing the compulsory testing could mean a year in jail or a $33,000 fine, while anyone caught providing fake samples risks seven years’ imprisonment.

Moscow Denies Russian, Syrian Planes Struck Aleppo Aid Convoy

Just two days after US-coalition forces “mistakenly” attacked a Syrian army post, killing 62 and shortly after the latest Syrian ceasefire ended, a UN aid convoy near Aleppo was struck on Monday allegedly killing 12 people, according to a London-based (and UK-funded) war monitor…

The plot thickened, however, this morning when the Russian Defense Ministry said Russian and Syrian aircraft did not carry out any airstrikes against a UN humanitarian aid convoy near the city of Aleppo.

“No airstrikes were carried out against a humanitarian aid convoy in a southwestern suburb of Aleppo by Russian or Syrian aviation. Seeing as the convoy’s route lied through the territories controlled by militants, the Russian reconciliation center monitored its passage yesterday via drones,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Tuesday.

According to the general, the monitoring finished when all humanitarian aid was delivered at around 10:40 GMT.

“Further movements of the convoy were not monitored by the Russian side. Only the militants controlling this area know details of the convoy’s location,” Konashenkov added. The examination of video footage reveals no signs of an ammunition strikes on the convoy, he said.

“We have carefully studied videos by so-called activists from the site and found no signs of any ammunition striking the convoy. There are no shell holes, cars’ bodies are not damaged and there are no construction faults from the bust wave. All shown on the footage is a direct consequence of the cargo being set on fire. The fire strangely coincided with a major offensive by militants in Aleppo.”

The ministry emphasized that the perpetrator of the fire, as well as his goal may be known by members of the “White Helmets” organization that has connection to al-Nusra Front terrorists who have “accidentally” been at the right time and in the right place with cameras.

According to the official, al-Nusra Front terrorist group carried out an artillery attack on the southwestern suburb of Aleppo using multiple launch rocket systems.

At this point there are two possibilities: Russia is lying, or it is telling the truth. And since Russia should be able to back up its claims with video footage, the question emerges: did US-coalition forces or US-backed “moderate rebels” belonging to the al-Nusra, stage the attack a UN convoy in the latest “false flag” attempt to shift attention to “Russian aggression”, and seek justification to escalate the military campaign against Syria, and its proxy supporter, Russia?

[Comment: Another false flag event by US’s proxy ISIS army designed to create another false pretext for Amercian boots on the ground. Likely they blew up the trucks themselves AFTER supplies were delivered and tried to claim the “humanitarian” convoy was attacked by Russia. In general, it looks like Russia has been more truthful than the West regarding Syria.]

Syrian Army Ends Ceasefire After US Airstrike Kills More Than 80 Soldiers Fighting Islamic State

Syrian government officials have declared the military will no longer observe the ceasefire agreed to by the United States and Russia one week ago. The goal of the agreed ceasefire was to end the fighting in the Syrian proxy war, eliminate terrorist groups in Syria and then negotiate a political agreement for reforms. Monday marked the end of a 7 day period which was supposed have reduced violence before the peace process could move to the next step of the US and Russia targeting Islamic State and Al Nusra terrorists.

The decision comes after the United States admitted to bombing Syrian military forces who were fighting the Islamic State on Saturday…

Turkey’s Erdogan Plans to Expand Syrian Military Op

Erdogan says Turkey’s operation in Syria, Euphrates Shield, which started on August 24, has cleared border regions from Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).

“As part of the Euphrates Shield operation, an area of 900 sq km has been cleared of terror so far. This area is pushing south,” Erdogan said, as cited by Reuters.

[Comment: Erdogan is eliminating Kurds and ensuring the oil convoy from ISIS controlled areas can resume. Don’t forget about the funneling of weapons to ISIS though the area now secured by Turks. All that bleating about moving against ISIS is a lie.]

China Merger to Create World’s Second Largest Steel Firm

Two of China’s largest steel companies have announced plans for a merger, creating the world’s second largest steelmaker, as the industry struggles with global overproduction.

Under the deal, Baosteel is to take over its smaller competitor Wuhan Iron and Steel.

Both companies are majority-owned by the state.

Globally, it would be second only to Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal.

Australian Man Patents the Hamdog — A Hotdog and Burger Combo

A man in Australia has successfully patented, and started selling, the Hamdog — a combination of a hotdog and a burger in one bun.

Mark Murray first appeared on Shark Tank — the Australian equivalent to the UK show Dragon’s Den — where he pitched the idea to potential investors.

The judges turned him down for funding.

But one year later, he is selling the Hamdogs at fairs and markets in Western Australia and looking for people interested in taking on a franchise.

51 U.S. Companies Pledge $650 Million in Refugee Support

NEW YORK (AP) — More than four dozen U.S. businesses have pledged $650 million in support to help some of the world’s refugees, the White House announced Tuesday as President Barack Obama seeks to highlight the refugee plight before world leaders gathered for the annual U.N. General Assembly session.

Fifty-one corporations, including Facebook, Twitter, MasterCard, Johnson & Johnson, yogurt maker Chobani and other companies, have committed to easing access to education, employment and financial services for some 6.3 million refugees in more than 20 countries.

Belgium: 16 Migrants Rescued From Locked Refrigerated Lorry

Sixteen people were hauled out of a closed, refrigerated lorry at the port of Zeebrugge on Monday morning. Six Syrians and ten Iranians had been hiding in the truck for up to 5 hours in temperatures of 2°C.

The sixteen people who had ensconced themselves in the vehicle included a pregnant woman and three minors. They were unable to leave the truck of their own accord as the doors were locked and could only be opened from the outside. The migrants are thought to have got aboard the truck while it was still in France.

The Syrians and the Iranians, who were thought to be making their way to the UK, were handed over to the Belgian immigration department.

DHS Admits “Mistakenly” Granting Citizenship to 858 Immigrants From “Countries of Concern to National Security”Delete

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released Monday.

The Homeland Security Department’s inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren’t caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases.

The report does not identify any of the immigrants by name, but Inspector General John Roth’s auditors said they were all from “special interest countries” — those that present a national security concern for the United States — or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud. The report did not identify those countries.

Essential Survey Finds Almost Half Australians Support Muslim Immigration Ban

A NEW survey has found almost half of Australians support a ban on Muslim immigration.

The Essential poll asked more than 1000 respondents whether they would support or oppose Pauline Hanson’s proposed ban on Muslim immigration.

Sixty per cent of Liberal voters, 40 per cent of Labor voters and 34 per cent of Greens voters said they would support the ban.

More than 40 per cent of people who favoured this ban said it was an “integration” issue, saying they fear Muslims “do not integrate into Australian society”.

The second-highest reason was “Terrorist threat”, at 27 per cent.

The race discrimination commissioner, Tim Soutphommasane, is expected to address community division at a forum at the Australian National University today.

According to speech notes obtained by The Guardian Australia , Soutphommasane will say: “Some would say that just as the Irish, Italians, Greeks and Asians copped ugliness, so too will Muslims. That immigrants must show grit and forbearance, become part of the mainstream, and then be free to have a go at the next lot who arrive.

“While we may never eradicate racism and bigotry, it isn’t good enough to say its targets must grin and bear it, or that there’s nothing we can do. Doing so amounts to normalising racism, to suggesting that it should be tolerated.”

This morning, Labor’s Tim Watts addressed the poll on Twitter, saying Pauline Hanson’s “xenophobia” could hinder Australia’s relationship with its largest Muslim-majority neighbour, Indonesia…

Facebook Used to Recruit Illegal Migrant Workers to New Zealand

A human trafficking scam that’s carried on undetected for years is claimed to be using Facebook to lure migrants into jobs paying less than $10 an hour on New Zealand orchards. Investigations have been launched after a Filipino man, who paid his first month’s wages as commission to an offshore organiser, raised the alert. First Union organiser Dennis Maga, who knows the Filipino orchard worker who has since returned home, said he was looking into the case with assistance from the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). “This is some sort of human trafficking because the orchard managers are consciously targeting those vulnerable migrants, luring them to work in that industry, knowing that they are quite desperate. “Based on the information we found out from a friend of ours,…

Greece: Northern Aegean Governor Warns of ‘Unmanageable Situation’ At Migrant Camps

In comments following a large fire possibly started during a riot at a migrant processing center on the island of Lesvos on Monday night, the regional governor for the Northern Aegean, Christiana Kalogirou, warned of an ‘unmanageable situation’ on the islands bearing the brunt of the refugee crisis.

“The islanders are well-intentioned but there is fatigue,” Kalogirou told Skai TV on Tuesday, referring to a protest on Monday by residents of the Lesvos village of Moria where the processing center, or hot spot, is located.

“The Northern Aegean cannot bear such a burden alone and neither can Greece,” she said. “Europe has not responded to its commitments.”

MEP Elmar Brok: ‘The EU Has the Migration Question Under Control’

Elmar Brok, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and its Foreign Affairs Committee Chair, is confident about Merkel, the EU and its refugee policy. But should he be? Find out on this week’s Conflict Zone.

“The problem is many people in Europe don’t trust the elite. This loss of trust is one of the most dangerous questions of democracy.”

The most vociferous criticism of the EU’s border policies is currently coming from the east, according to Brok.

“We have a problem in all former communist countries where people were told over decades that something from abroad is a bad thing. They do not know what foreigners are.”

The lack of trust and the spread of nationalist movements in Europe is a test for the EU rather than a death sentence, the German politician and member of European Parliament said on Conflict Zone.

Merkel Admits She Was Wrong on Migrant Policy… Because it Damaged Her Poll Ratings

After a stunning electoral defeat in the German capital of Berlin German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that she wishes she could go back in time and handle the migrant crisis differently.

The Obama administration continues to devote taxpayer dollars to register new immigrant voters (i.e., Democratic voters) in time for the November election. After spending $19 million early this year on the registration efforts, the administration has dedicated another $10 million this month.

Judicial Watch reports, “The money is distributed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security Agency that oversees lawful immigration, to organizations that help enhance pathways to naturalization by offering immigrants free citizenship instruction, English, US. History and civics courses.”

The agency has spent a significant amount of money on these grants, $63 million since 2009, to prepare over 150,000 immigrants for citizenship, according to Judicial Watch.

Parents at Northern Greek Elementary School Oppose Admission of Refugee Children

The parents’ association of an elementary school in the northern Greek town of Filippiada on Tuesday sent a memo to education authorities expressing their opposition to government plans to use school facilities to hold classes for refugee children staying at nearby camps.

The memo comes in the wake of a protest by parents in Oresteiada, also in northern Greece, opposing the admission of refugee children into the local school and threatening sit-ins if the government proceeds with its plans to provide schooling to hundreds of migrant and refugee children trapped in Greece.

In the memo, which refers to the refugees as “irregular migrants,” the parents’ association of the Second Elementary School of Filippiada lists a number of reasons why it is opposed to the measure, including fear of infectious diseases. They also cite “educational reasons,” arguing that their children will be unable to “coexist with migrant children” who have not received any schooling for several years and have “different perceptions on the role of family, the place of women and religion to Greek children whose parents have made sacrifices to offer their children the best education.”

The George Soros Email Hack: Top 10 Machinations of a Master Manipulator

A recent email hack has revealed the vast and stunning influence of NWO master manipulator, George Soros.

The recent George Soros email hack — the hacking and release of 2500+ emails and documents release by DCLeaks — shows black-and-white proof of the machinations, manipulations and massively long reach of Hungarian-born multi-billionaire, top Hillary Clinton donor, arch manipulator and big-time New World Order insider George Soros.

The mainstream media is ignoring the Soros hack, which is to be expected, but those coming to it with little or no knowledge of the man will be blown away by the extent to which Soros directs world affairs. This man is extremely influential and deserves to be focused upon in the same way that the Rockefellers and Rothschilds have been. He has been behind some extremely important political movements in the U.S. (e.g. BLM or Black Lives Matter) and geopolitical events around the world (e.g. the US-funded Ukrainian coup which installed a Neo-Nazi puppet government).

Soros’ favorite method is to fund color revolutions (fake grassroots uprisings) through his numerous NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) which specialize in propaganda and the overthrow of democratically elected foreign governments in coups. Soros and his NGOs were banned by Russia last year as a threat to national security — and the Soros hack shows us why Russian leaders don’t want the man near their nation.

He has an incredible array of Open Society Foundations (OSFs) in numerous countries across the world, all of which are pushing his particular agendas, such as open borders, unfettered migration, welfare and support for illegal migrants, “social justice” (a loaded term which means many different things to different people) and the “humanitarian” spreading of U.S. “democracy” around the world (more loaded terms and doublespeak).

So just what do these emails reveal about Soros? The leaked documents include proof that Soros has been involved in all of the below machinations, actively intervening and interfering in world affairs on a colossal scale.

Full Text: ‘How to Destroy the Alt Right’ By Milo

At the moment, we have identity politics for everyone except white men. If you advocate for men’s issues, The Guardian will call you a misogynist and a sexist. If you advocate for whites, The Guardian and National Review, and everyone else will call you a racist.

Meanwhile, other groups — women, gays, blacks, Muslims — are not only allowed to advocate for their group’s interests, but allowed to be openly racist and sexist towards white men.

When they do so, they receive support from the Silicon Valley’s tech giants, who manage an increasing share of our lives. When a parody group called the Feminist Software Foundation tried to create a browser extension that took all instances of “white men” in articles and changed them to “Jews” — making Guardian articles read like Mein Kampf — the extension was banned from both Chrome and Firefox.

Not for antisemitism, you understand. But for showing the Left up as racists.

  1. “80% of Sweden’s police officers are considering new careers, due to the dangers they face on the job.”
    All in the “non existent” no-go zones which heavily denied by Leftists in all countries actually have this problem… (Sweden sure is one of them).

  2. I wonder how that Australian poll was conducted. If it was face to face or phoning people’s homes, there is a probably a far higher percentage who want to end muslim immigration but didn’t dare say so.

  3. ** authentic hospitality “our greatest security against hateful acts of terrorism.” **

    The unmentioned option? Keeping Muslims out of Europe.

    Muslims feel like moving into Europe like locusts? Europeans helpless. The Prime Directive: surrender.

  4. Financial melt-down in China?
    Say it ain’t so. I thought China was buying all the gold in the world. You mean to tell me that the Socialist/Communist/Marxist economic plan is not perfect? As it was in Russia (USSR)? Cuba? Venezuela? Zimbabwe? ETC?
    This cannot be.

  5. Ford moving to Mexico?
    Maybe Ford should take a lesson from the NFL.
    I’m not every American, but I’ll not watch another NFL game until the LEAGUE puts a stop to the sitting/kneeling/protesting by NFL players, and apologizes to AMERICA, for their despicable behavior. Just as I will not buy a GM/Hummer, or Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Fiat car for their despicable bail-out actions.
    I’ll just continue to repair and drive my 18 year old Fords. (or buy a turbo diesel VW with the emission bypass)

    • Good for you! I’m not in America, but I most certainly would not watch another NFL game, (I don’t anyway, and think American football is ridiculous) and the way I see it the players should have been fired–instantly!

      Sick of hearing Bill O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly expounding on ‘their rights’ to do so, etc..

      • How can you claim to be oppressed and keep a straight face when you are paid millions of dollars for chasing a bit of leather around a field for a living?

        It would also help if the big sponsors and advertising corporations withdrew their sponsorship of the NFL teams who do not discipline these ridiculous “martyrs”
        Who choose to insult their national flag.

        • All the Deplorables in the world watch Canadian Football anyway. Much faster and exciting than NFL any day. Nothing like watching the players slipping and sliding in light snow during the Grey Cup. I just wish my team was doing better…Oh well, there’s always next year….

  6. Seems like there are many border walls going up. How many “Refugees” are sitting around collecting welfare payments.
    Why can’t anyone connect the dots here, there’s only two dots.
    The wall just got three feet higher.

  7. One last thing, and I’ll shut up.
    I saw this today on an article at Gatestone. (I hope I do this correctly)
    There is one Christian Church in “Northern Cyprus”, it seems no one recognizes “Northern Cyprus” as a country except Turkey, who supports them 100%, and refuses to comply to world opinion about the possession of this land.
    It’s a great story about islam taking over a piece of “Europe”. Cyprus has been a full state of the EU for some time, and is still partially “occupied” by islamists. Not unlike the West Bank, and Gaza Strip.
    Frankly, I think Israel should run from Lebanon along the Med, and all land West of the Jordan, including the Sinai Peninsula. I can’t quote it, but I think I remember something in the Bible about from the trees of Lebanon…
    Anyway, taking Cyprus as an example, it looks to me like all of Europe will some day be divided, against the will of the rest of the world, by allah.
    Here’s the link to the last Church.
    http://www.christianpost.com/news/the-last-church-standing-in-north-cyprus-32154/
    And the link to the original article on Gatestone.
    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8972/eastern-europe-christianity-islam
    I hope linking these things is okay.

  8. The Bush Clan needs to be booed on sight until they publicly repent for what they’ve done to America…and the world.

  9. And when there is a crisis with the native Swedish police officers (not enough officers) they will hire the refugees to be police officers. This will be after a sufficient vetting process. Belief in Sharia won’t be a consideration.

  10. “Greens walk out during Pauline Hanson’s maiden speech in Australia….”
    What is it about Greens, why do they inevitably get it wrong, why are they so narrow-minded, and why do they embarrass themselves with these stupid actions?

    Pauline Hanson was originally loathed by many Aussies, but she has persisted, and has now come to be seen in a saner light, as Australians are starting to wake up.

    Now if only they would wake up about the halal racket which is so ubiquitous in OZ!
