Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said that his country will oppose any further consideration of Turkey for accession to the EU. In possibly unrelated news, the Austrian interior ministry said that 40% of the nearly 300 Islamic radicals who entered the country in recent years came in as refugees seeking asylum.
In other news, President-elect Donald Trump told UKIP leader Nigel Farage that he would bring back the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that Barack Hussein Obama sent away when he entered office.

“We’re Losing This Country, That’s Why I Won Election Easily” — Trump to CBS
US President-elect Donald J. Trump has given his first official TV interview to CBS, focusing on hot topics at the center of his campaign, from a border wall, gay marriage and abortion, to taxes, anti-Trump demonstrations and ending wars in the Mid-East.
The president-elect believes that his victory has been partly determined by how disappointed and angry people are about the US foreign policy — instead of focusing on things back at home.
“It’s a moment in time where politicians for a long period of time have let people down. They’ve let them down on the job front. They’ve even let them down in terms of the war front. You know, we’ve been fighting this war for 15 years,” Trump said.

Anti-Trump Students Attack Teacher in CA School Walkout
Students said the scene was chaotic and terrifying
PLEASANT HILL, Calif. — Anti-Trump high school protesters ignited a scuffle at College Park High School Thursday that led to several teachers getting roughed up by the unruly teens.
At least one teacher was punched and shoved as a large crowd of protestors from other area schools descended on College Park in an attempt to recruit students there to the massive walkout, KTVU reports.

Anti-Trump Protests: Proof of Professional Activist Involvement
In a story from November 12, USA Today writes an article to discredit the idea that the professional activist community is involved with organizing anti-Trump protests. They invite you to meet the protesters. USA today presents them as ordinary people. However, WikiLeaks exposes them as experienced protest organizers and activists…
If the demonstrations aren’t premeditated, then why are all these average citizens actually well-connected activists and protest organizers? USA Today has misrepresented its sources in a way that falsifies their own narrative that the closest we have to protesters are old-timers who “haven’t toted a protest sign since their anti-war days in the 1970s”. USA Today has instead helped demonstrate that the professional protest community is in fact behind the current political protests.

Bernie Sanders ‘Humiliated’ Democrats Can’t Talk to ‘White Working Class’ Voters
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday blasted the Democratic Party for failing to connect with the “white working class” voters who overwhelmingly cast their ballots for President-elect Donald Trump.
The 75-year-old independent Vermont lawmaker, who ran a competitive campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination but was bested by Hillary Clinton, shared his feelings in a tweet less than a week after Trump beat Clinton. The billionaire mogul engineered his victory in part by appealing to blue-collar voters in typical Democratic strongholds such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Blocks of Anti-Trump Protest Buses Caught on Tape
We have visual confirmation of how a substantial portion of these professional, paid protesters arrive at the site of the protest, in this case Chicago
Now, courtesy of a Zero Hedge reader, we have visual confirmation of how a substantial portion of these professional, paid protesters arrive at the site of the protest, in this case Chicago.
As our reader notes, “I have a video of 5 city blocks on the West side of Chicago lined with busses from Wisconsin (Badger Bus Lines) bringing in protestors. The Sears tower is visible in the background.”
The video was taken at 3:30pm on South Canal Street in Chicago on Saturday. As our reader points out, hundreds of the participants that took part in the downtown Chicago protests from November 12 were bused in using these vehicles. Other arrived by train.

CBS Withholds Trump Anti-Violence Soundbite for Two Days
It is not coincidental
During the CBS 60 Minutes interview recorded on Friday afternoon, CBS correspondent Lesly Stahl badgered President-Elect Donald Trump about the false MSM narrative of Trump supporters intimidating people:
Lesley Stahl: Do you want to say anything to those people? Donald Trump: I would say don’t do it, that’s terrible, ‘cause I’m gonna bring this country together. Lesley Stahl: They’re harassing Latinos, Muslims- Donald Trump: I am so saddened to hear that. And I say, “Stop it.” If it- if it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it.
Setting aside the ridiculous line of questioning, the issue surfaced: if the media was so concerned about Trump supporter violence, then why didn’t CBS release this interview segment on Friday evening instead of the ObamaCare segment they released?
Within the answer to that question you find out how the media constructs their manipulative narratives.

The surprise victory by Donald Trump on November 8th has spawned a series of violent protests and riots all over the nation as stunned leftists continue to throw the largest post-election temper tantrum in U.S. history. Protesters in large cities all across America have been disrupting public transportation, looting stores, hurling objects at the police and burning Trump in effigy. There have even been shootings at anti-Trump rallies in Seattle and in Portland. Hundreds of protesters have been arrested so far, and organizers are promising that this is only just the beginning. Meanwhile, large numbers of enraged leftists are physically threatening Trump on Twitter, and some are even calling for a violent revolution. Sadly, I believe that they are quite serious about this.
Even some big celebrity names are starting to use the word “revolution” in messages to their followers. On Twitter, Katy Perry has ominously warned that “the revolution is coming”, and comedian Sarah Silverman has boldly declared that “Trump gets a chance to hear us (or else we R them) If he fails REVOLUTION IN THE STREETS”.
Of course other leftists are seeking less violent ways to oppose Trump. There is a major push to use the electoral college to block a Trump presidency, if that fails there are many hoping to immediately impeach Trump once he takes office, and other activists such as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich are calling for a new third party if their planned post-election takeover of the Democratic Party is not successful.
But for many on the radical left the time for patience is over. The “Not My President” movement is taking off like a rocket, and one survey found that only 58 percent of all Clinton supporters consider Trump’s victory to be legitimate. A protest near Trump Tower in New York City on Saturday drew approximately 25,000 people, and USA Today reported that the anti-Trump protest in Portland, Oregon on Saturday night rapidly “devolved into a riot”.
It is becoming clear that these protests are not going away any time soon, and some are even beginning to refer to this movement as “the Purple Revolution”…

Fearmongering Propaganda is Immensely Profitable… and Distracting
If you want to stop being played as a chump, turn off the CNN/MSM and disengage from the self-referential social media distraction.
Let’s start by asking: if Trump had lost and his supporters had angrily taken to the streets, destroying private property and threatening police officers while proclaiming “not my president,” would the mainstream media have characterized the rioters differently than it has the pro-Clinton rioters?
Any fair-minded observer knows the answer is yes: the CNN/MSM would have lambasted the “rioting deplorables” as “what’s wrong with America.”
Substitution is a useful tool to expose bias. How come the CNN/mainstream corporate media isn’t declaring the pro-Clinton rioters “deplorables”?
This tells us something else is going on here. I want to explain what’s really going on, but first we need to run a simple experiment:
Turn off CNN, PBS, CBS et al., your Twitter and Facebook feeds, etc. for seven days, and live solely in the media-free real world for a week. If you’re truly interested in understanding what’s really going on in America, then come back in a week and read the rest of the essay.

National Geographic ‘MARS’ Offers History of Future 1st Landing on Red Planet
Humanity is still years away from landing on Mars, but the first documentary to look back at that achievement is already complete.
The six-part television docudrama “MARS,” premiering on the National Geographic Channel Monday night (Nov. 14), chronicles the first mission to the Red Planet in 2033 using footage of the crew’s activities on the surface and through “flashbacks” to 2016, when the journey to Mars began.
“I think it is surprisingly and almost shockingly, in a way, as accurate as it could possibly be,” said Stephen Petranek, author of the book “How We’ll Live on Mars” (2015, Simon & Schuster), which served as the basis for the production. “The idea here, originally, was to make this as entertaining as possible so you’d get a large audience, but that people would actually learn something while watching it.”

Oil and Gas Prices Dropping in Anticipation of Trump Presidency
Even as prices for crude oil and natural gas were already declining thanks to continued overproduction by the OPEC cartel, the commitment of millions of dollars in new capital expenditures by major oil companies next year, and the stirring of recovery in the oil patch, last Tuesday’s election added additional impetus to the decline. The price for crude oil for December delivery has dropped more than $2 a barrel since the election, and Evan Kelly, writing at OilPrice.com, thinks it’s going to drop further, perhaps much further.

Priebus’ First Role is Defending Colleague Bannon From Accusations of Racism, Hate
One of Reince Priebus’ first duties after being named chief of staff by President-elect Donald Trump was to defend another of his new boss’s appointments, Stephen Bannon.
Bannon, the bare-knuckle media executive who led conservative news site Breitbart until taking on the role of Trump’s campaign CEO in August, is credited with blazing a populist path that helped make Trump the president-elect. But his appointment as chief strategist and senior counselor prompted critics to charge he could propel Trump down a more xenophobic path.
Priebus, speaking Monday on “Fox & Friends,” said he and Bannon are on the same page when it comes to advancing the agenda of a Trump administration, and downplayed the criticism.
“He was a force for good on the campaign,” Priebus said. “I haven’t seen any of these things that people are crying out about. … It’s a good team, it works.”

The Electoral College is Brilliant
The progressives are determined to get rid of the Electoral College. Of course they are. Abolishing the Electoral College would complete their project of overthrowing America’s unique federal system, begun about one hundred years ago.
The direct election of senators was the first and greatest victory of the progressives over the Framers of the Constitution. Made possible by the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, it mortally wounded the Founders’ system. Abolishing the Electoral College will finish the job. And the progressives mean to do just that…
To become president of the United States of America, one must even today win the national election state by state. Eliminating the Electoral College and electing the president by the popular vote, as the progressives are determined to do, would transform the office. Its occupant would in effect become the president of the big cities of America, and the last vestiges of political autonomy guaranteed the individual states by the Constitution’s electoral system would be swept away.

The Far Left is Planning the Biggest Political Protest in United States History for Inauguration Day
We have seen very large protests in major cities all over America since Donald Trump won the election, but the biggest one of all is being planned for January 20th. Radical leftists are calling for thousands upon thousands of activists to descend upon Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day, and they are planning to disrupt the inauguration festivities as much as they possibly can. And if you doubt that the “Not My President” movement can pull this off, you may want to consider that 25,000 protesters showed up in New York City on Saturday on very short notice. These people are bitter, angry, frustrated and incredibly motivated. At this point they still have more than two months to organize their forces, and many are expecting that this is going to be the most chaotic Inauguration Day in American history.
One of the Facebook pages that is attempting to recruit protesters for Inauguration Day is entitled “Protest at the Inauguration: Stand Against Trump, War, Racism and Inequality”. So far, 7,800 people have indicated that they will be attending on this page alone, and another 26,000 have expressed interest in the protest. The organizers of this particular page are very clear about why they believe that the inauguration of Donald Trump must be protested…

‘Tolerant’ Educators Exile Trump Voters From Campus: Glenn Reynolds
Trump’s substantial victory, when most progressives expected a Hillary landslide, came as a shock to many. That shock seems to have been multiplied in academe, where few people seem to know any Trump supporters — or, at least, any Trump supporters who’ll admit to it.
The response to the shock has been to turn campuses into kindergarten. The University of Michigan Law School announced a “post-election self-care” event with “food and play,” including “coloring sheets, play dough [sic], positive card-making, Legos and bubbles with your fellow law students.” (Embarrassed by the attention, UM Law scrubbed the announcement from its website, perhaps concerned that people would wonder if its graduates would require Legos and bubbles in the event of stressful litigation.)
Stanford emailed its students and faculty that psychological counseling was available for those experiencing “uncertainty, anger, anxiety and/or fear” following the election. So did the University of Michigan’s Flint campus.

Trump to Bring Back Churchill Statue Shamefully Removed From White House by Barack Obama
The Ukip leader described Donald Trump as an “anglophile” and said his re-installation of the Churchill statue was a clear sign of his appreciation for the historically warm relationship between the allies.
He said: “At the end of our time with Trump we asked him if the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that Obama had removed from the Oval Office could be put back in its rightful place. He enthusiastically thought that was a good idea. Need I say more?”
Nigel Farage played a key role in Mr Trump’s US election campaign, speaking at rallies and drumming up support, with Mr Trump referring to his shock election victory as “Brexit plus plus”.

Your Body Reveals Your Password by Interfering With Wi-Fi
Wave goodbye to security if crims can pop a MIMO router
Modern Wi-Fi doesn’t just give you fast browsing, it also imprints some of your finger movements — swipes, passwords and PINs — onto the radio signal.
A group of researchers from the Shanghai Jaio Tong University, the University of Massachusetts at Boston, and the University of South Florida have demonstrated that analysing the radio signal can reveal private information, using just one malicious Wi-Fi hotspot.
In this paper, published by the Association of Computing Machinery, they claim covert password snooping as high as 81.7 per cent, once their system has enough training samples.
It’s an attack that wouldn’t work if you had a primitive Wi-Fi setup with just one antenna, because it relies on the sophisticated beam-forming implemented in Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna configurations.

Toronto Anti-Trump Event a Flop
After all the drama we’ve heard over the past few days about the extensive protests and riots in the United States over the presidential election, the Toronto incarnation was a bit of a let down.
Media tee-up stories predicted 1,000 attendees would show up at Nathan Phillips Square at City Hall on Sunday to denounce president-elect Trump. Reports then adjusted that to “hundreds.” Not quite. Maybe 200 were there. Maybe.
And the number drops again if you knock off that sampling of diverse Canadians standing around the periphery of the event who were there merely to watch the spectacle or, as some of them told me or others around them, actually supported Trump.

80,000 Catalans Gather Demanding Independence From Spain
After Brexit in the UK and Donald Trump’s election in the US, the political elites of the world are slowly waking up to the inevitability that the will of the people can not be ignored forever. In Northern Europe, the electorate has rebelled against political elites, like Angela Merkel, who have embraced “open borders” and the influx of refugees from war-torn areas in the mid-east that have brought with them increasing violence and terror attacks. In the U.S., the rebellion is the direct result of Americans being fed up with a federal government that is defined by cronyism and complete dysfunction.
Now, the latest demonstration of an electorate fighting back against its elected officials comes from Spain as 80,000 people rallied in Barcelona on Sunday in a show of support for Catalan leaders locked in a political battle with Madrid over an independence referendum. In Catalonia, separatists complain their relatively wealthy region is overtaxed by an oppressive central government in Madrid to subsidize poorer regions of the country.
While separatists site a November 2014 “mock referendum” in which 90% of Catalans supported secession, other polls suggest the population is roughly split on the idea. Meanwhile, Spain’s central government has consistently held that individual regions do not have the constitutional authority to hold their own referendum votes that concern the “integrity of the country.” Per the Associated Press:

Everything You Need to Know About Italy’s Upcoming Referendum
The eyes of the world are suddenly on a proposed change to Italy’s constitution — but why?
Italy’s political instability is notorious. The country has seen 63 governments since 1945 and politicians from all parties have called for reform to the system for many years.
But now that reforms, deemed the most significant in Italy since World War II, are actually on the table, everything’s got rather confusing. Left- and right-wing parties have joined forces to oppose Prime Minister Matteo Renzi; there are splits within his own Democratic Party; and global media are comparing the referendum with Brexit and Donald Trump’s election, with some raising fears of a negative economic impact and even a possible “Italexit”.

Italy: The Affaire Between the Five Star Movement and Putin’s Emissaries
The role of Zheleznyak and Klimov between Internet, Russia Today and Grillo’s world
Two of Vladimir Putin’s closest associates are in ties to the Five Star Movement also through some pro-Russian Internet sites which are overall very critical with the Italian government of PM Matteo Renzi. To retrace some events of this affair we could start from October 17 when, after a “careful consideration” the British NatWest Bank, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland closed all RT’s accounts. Commonly known as Russia Today, RT is the English-language satellite network funded by the Russian government with a global audience of at least a billion people. “Long live freedom of speech” twitted sarcastically Margarita Simonyan, the editor in chief of RT. The network said it was a decision stirred by the British government. Through Sergei Zheleznyak, deputy chairman of Vladimir Putin’s party’ United Russia, the Duma announced it would formally request an explanation from the British government. Barclays, the network’s previous bank in Britain took a similar measure on RT in 2015.
Jonathan Eyal, assistant director of Russian and European security studies at the Royal United Services Institute in London, told the New York Times: “Certain questions are being raised over the corporation and its sources of funding”“ Eyal speculated that “NatWest may prefer the controversy of closing the bank account over dealing with a business that may have tainted money”. Sputnik Italia, another pro-Putin network, told the story in a completely different way by emphasizing on Zheleznyak’s announcement that the Duma would “help RT legal team to assert their rights”, by invoking the Council of Europe and the UN.
In Italy, it all went unnoticed, though Zheleznyak is now an active yet invisible actor even in Italian politics. Coming from the advertising world, and with an increasingly influence in Putin’s party, Zheleznyak is in Obama administration’s blacklist that includes politicians and businessmen who, for either wealth or influence, allegedly lead suspicious pro-Putin activities in foreign countries. Further, Zheleznyak, aged 46, together with the head of international relations, Andrey Klimov — a man of an earlier generation — are serving as bridge between Russia and the 5SM world…

‘Polarisation and Collapse of is Raise Risk of Terror Attacks in the Netherlands’
The risk of a terrorist attack taking place in the Netherlands will increase if the IS-held caliphate collapses because returning fighters will strengthen jihadist movements in the Netherlands, according to the latest report by the Dutch counter-terrorism agency NCTV. Nevertheless, the risk of an attack in the Netherlands remains level 4 on a scale of 5 and very few people have left for Syria and Iraq since the beginning of this year, the report, published on Monday, states. In addition, there are signs that a number of Dutch jihadis want to return home but have been unable to do so. The increasing polarisation in the Netherlands is also having an impact on the risk level and this could intensify in the run up to the March 2017 election, the report states.

Spacecraft Could Taste Europa’s Sea by Sampling Its Atmosphere
A spacecraft flying past Europa may be able to sample its colossal watery plumes — even if they stopped erupting weeks earlier. A new analysis suggests that jets spewing from Jupiter’s icy moon could produce complex, constantly shifting chemical patterns in its atmosphere, which we could use to figure out what is on, and even below, the surface.
Europa is thought to host a deep, salty ocean beneath an icy shell, and this ocean could be one of the best places to look for life in the solar system. In 2012, the Hubble Space Telescope spotted evidence that plumes of water vapour are vented from this subsurface sea into space.
That was good news for proposed missions to explore the moon and test its oceans for signs of life. Both NASA and the European Space Agency have missions in the works, targeted for launch in the early 2020s, that will fly past Europa.
“Those are free samples: we can just fly by and we can grab some of that material,” says Cynthia Phillips at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. “That’s our best way of understanding what’s going on — not just at Europa’s surface but, in the case of plume sampling, the subsurface — from orbit.”

The Star of David Becomes a Swastika in Germany
By Giulio Meott
It is a work of art, they say.
It is not the first time that a large museum in Europe takes part in nciting hatred against Israel and the Jews.
At the Antonopoulou Art Gallery in Athens, Alexandros Psychoulis has created a work of “art” from Palestinian Arab suicide bombers’ explosive vests.
The museum of the Jeu de Paume in Paris held the exhibition of Ahlam Shibli that glorifies Palestinian suicide bombers as “martyrs”.
At a museum in Stockholm there was “Snow White”, a tub full of red water on which a white boat floated with the photograph of the suicide bomber Hanadi Jaradat, who massacred twenty-one Israelis at the Maxim restaurant in Haifa.
Now a huge artistic panel in Cologne, Germany has been exhibited: If you look it from the right you see a swastika, if you move to the left the swastika turns into a Star of David. It’s just a matter of perspective whether you see the Nazi symbol or the flag of Israel.
It did not happen in Iran, where Ayatollah Khamenei walks over the Israeli flag to polish his shoes. It happened in Germany and it is not an initiative of an Islamic group or neo-Nazis, but of a renowned art gallery. The work is signed by the artist Juraj Kralik. Juan Romero Cárdenas, director of the Spanish gallery Kir Royal, proudly claims the installation for himself, saying that “the ‘Four Seasons’ is about two state symbols, the symbol of Germany until 1945 and the current symbol of the State of Israel”.
A blatant anti-Semitism has been revealed again in Germany in the form of criticism of Israel. First the famous Berlin large luxury department store known as KaDeWe, the biggest in Europe, suspended the sale of Israeli wine. Then, for the first time since the Holocaust, an organization of German civil society has officially called for a boycott of Israel in the city of Oldenburg (Lower Saxony, 164,000 inhabitants), where a teachers’ union has published a document calling for a complete boycott of the Jewish State. The author of that document, Christoph Glanz, has also suggested to move Israel to Baden-Württemberg…

Top ISIS Recruiter in Italy Fezzani Arrested
Captured in Sudan
(ANSA) — Rome, November 14 — A Tunisian terrorist thought to be a major recruiter in Italy for the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) extremist group has been captured in Sudan, Italian anti-terrorism sources said Monday. Moez Ben Abdulgader Ben Ahmed al-Fezzani, also known as Abu Nassim, was part of a Milan-based group called the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat that recruited fighters for conflict zones between 1997 and 2001. Italian intelligence services tracked him down in Sudan since he was being sought on an international arrest warrant after he was handed a definitive conviction for terrorist criminal association in 2014 and sentenced to five years eight months in prison.
Fezzani was initially acquitted at a first-instance trial and deported in 2012.
Born in Tunis in 1969, Fezzani has been a known militant in Ansar al-Sharia Tunisia, a satellite of Islamist terrorist group al-Qaeda, for the past 20 years. He was first captured in 2002, detained at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. base in Afghanistan, then extradited to Italy.
After his deportation in 2012 he resurfaced in Libya, where he trained aspiring Islamist combatants. He was also spotted in Syria in summer 2013, and was being sought by Tunisia as the mastermind of the March, 2015 Bardo Museum terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 22 European tourists as well as a mass shooting in June that year at a tourist complex near the Tunisian city of Sousse, in which 38 people died.

Turkey: Austria Against Continuing EU Accession Talks
Foreign Minister, situation gets worse, it has no place in EU
(ANSA) — BRUSSELS, NOV. 14 — Austria closes the door to Turkey.
The decision on the continuation of Turkey’s EU accession negotiations will be made at the December summit, but today Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz took a stance ahead of the Foreign Council, whose agenda-setting deems the situation in Turkey the first priority to be discussed. “I am concerned over the fact that, due to the agreement on refugees, someone in Europe wants to behave as if nothing was happening in Turkey and does not want to talk about this issue.
Neverthless, the truth is — Kurz said — that the situation in Turkey is increasingly negative: who does not agree (with the government, ed) is intimidated, members of the opposition are imprisoned and the death penalty will be restored. In relation to these matters, Europe can not pretend nothing happened. I don’t approve the conditions Turkey puts to do its part, such as the acceleration of negotiations and visa liberalization”.
Austria, he stated, “certainly” won’t give its support for the opening of new negotiating chapters with Turkey.

Letter From Italian Prime Minister Lists Jerusalem as Palestine
An official letter from the Italian Prime Minister was addressed to Italians who live in Jerusalem. However, the country listed in the addresses was Palestine, not Israel.
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi recently sent letters to Italian citizens abroad in order to encourage them to vote in the upcoming constitutional referendum. However, Italian citizens living in Jerusalem were surprised when they saw that their addresses were not listed in Palestine, not Israel.
Italians living in Jerusalem, even in West Jerusalem, received today (Monday) a letter from the Italian Consulate in the city regarding the referendum. In addition to this letter, there was also a letter from Renzi. Although these Italians live in Israel, their addresses were listed in Palestine.
“I also think that the Israel Postal Company made a mistake,” said David Nizah, an Italian who lives in Jerusalem. “It should have sent the letter back.”
Angela, another Italian who also lives in the city, is also angry: “We need to send these letters back to Renzi and tell him that the addresses aren’t correct.”

Indonesia: Samarinda Church Attacker Convicted Terrorist: Police
The National Police have confirmed that the suspect allegedly behind an attack on an East Kalimantan church on Sunday is a convicted terrorist.
On Sunday morning, several Molotov cocktails were thrown into the parking lot of the Oikumene Christian Church in Sengkotek subdistrict, Samarinda. Four children reportedly suffered burn injuries in the attack, which also caused scorch damage to four motorcycles parked in front of the church.
Immediately after the incident, local residents apprehended a 32-year-old man, identified only by the initial J, whom they believed to have attacked the church. He was seen running away from the scene toward the nearby Mahakam River immediately after the attack.
National Police chief Gen. Tito Karnavian has confirmed that J is a convicted terrorist. In 2012, he was sentenced to 42 months in prison for his involvement in a plot to blow up the Center for Science and Technology Research (Puspiptek) complex in Serpong, Banten, the site of a nuclear reactor, and Christ Cathedral Church in Gading Serpong, also in Banten. He was paroled in July 2014.
Tito also said that the police would thoroughly investigate the Samarinda incident…

Toddler Dies in Attack on Indonesian Church
A toddler has been killed in a Molotov cocktail attack on a church in central Indonesia, the second explosion at a church in the country this year. The suspect, a former terrorist convict, was captured by locals.
A Molotov cocktail attack on a church in Indonesia has killed a 2-year-old and injured three other children.
The children were playing in a car park of the Oikumene Church in Samarinda, the provincial capital of the East Kalimantan province, on Sunday when a man wearing a T-shirt with the word “jihad” on it threw explosives at the church.
Police spokesman Fajar Setiawan said the 2-year-old suffered severe burns to more than three-fourths of her body. “It affected her respiratory system and efforts to save her failed and she died early Monday,” said Setiawan.
The other victims of the attack, aged from 2 to 4 years, were still in hospital recovering from less serious burn injuries. “We hope they can come home soon,” said Setiawan…

Why India Wiped Out 86% of Its Cash Overnight
India is in the middle of an extraordinary economic experiment.
On 8 November, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave only four hours’ notice that virtually all the cash in the world’s seventh-largest economy would be effectively worthless.
The Indian government likes to use the technical term “demonetisation” to describe the move, which makes it sound rather dull. It isn’t. This is the economic equivalent of “shock and awe”.
Do not believe reports that this is primarily about bribery or terror financing, the real target is tax evasion and the policy is very daring indeed.

China Hints at Looming Trade War as Trump Talks to Chinese President
President-elect Donald Trump and his future Chinese counterpart had a cordial conversation Sunday, but it did little to reverse growing tension built on Trump’s campaign vow to revisit trade policies that he said leave America at an unfair disadvantage.
In what analysts described as an early warning shot, Chinese state media suggested Beijing could slash imports of American goods — including iPhones — if the U.S. imposed steeper tariffs. “Large orders for Boeing planes would switch to Europe, U.S. auto sales in China would face setbacks, Apple phones would essentially be crowded out, and U.S. soybeans and corn would be eradicated from China,” the Global Times wrote in an editorial.

Mauritania Clerics Want ‘Apostasy’ Blogger Executed
A body of Muslim clerics in Mauritania has called for the death sentence to be carried out against a blogger convicted of apostasy in 2014.
Mauritania, an Islamic republic, has not applied a death penalty since 1987.
The Forum of Imams and Ulemas says Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ould Mkhaitir, 29, should be executed despite the fact that he repented for an article criticising Mauritania’s caste system.
The clerics want him to be killed according to the “law of God”.

Austria Charges Muslim “Refugee” With 20 Murders in Syria
Austrian prosecutors have charged a member of a Syrian rebel group with 20 counts of murder for allegedly executing wounded government soldiers in his home country.
The 27-year-old man was arrested in a refugee shelter in western Austria in June after being denounced by a fellow Syrian.
At first he admitted to the 2013-2014 killings in Homs and the surrounding region but later retracted his confession, a spokesman for public prosecutors in the Austrian city of Innsbruck told AFP.
The suspect, a member of a unit of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), faces life in prison if convicted. He will go on trial early next year.

Denmark Extends Border Controls Into 2017
In a widely-expected move, the Danish government has extended its temporary border control measures for an additional three months.
The measures will now be in place until February 12th, 2017.
Denmark’s extension follows similar moves by Scandinavian neighbours Sweden and Norway and comes after the European Commission gave its approval for the five countries who introduced temporary controls in the wake of last year’s refugee crisis to renew the measures again.
In addition to the Scandinavian nations, the other countries to implement controls are Germany and Austria…

He also told how he would deport between two to three million undocumented immigrants, specifying those with “criminal records, gang members, drug dealers”.

The change would be an “uncomfortable consequence” of Brexit, he said.

Germany: ‘Islamic State’ Reportedly Training Terrorists to Enter Europe as Asylum Seekers
Germany’s spy agency has warned that the “Islamic State” (IS) is infiltrating refugee groups to get into Europe. Officials and analysts are now looking into methods by which potential terrorists can be spotted early.
On November 13 last year, three teams of militants from the so-called “Islamic State” (IS), armed with Kalashnikovs, stormed the Stade de France stadium, the Bataclan concert hall and several pubs in Paris. The rampage left 130 people dead, 85 of them in Bataclan, where the band, the Eagles of Death Metal, was playing.
Meanwhile, investigations have revealed that all nine men involved in the attacks had traveled to Europe together with the stream of refugees that entered the continent in 2015. According to German weekly “Welt am Sonntag,” the country’s spy agency, the “Bundesnachrichtendienst,” (BND) has warned that IS is specifically training terrorists to merge with asylum seekers looking for safer havens in Europe. The report’s authors say that the BND suggests that terrorists train potential attackers on how to answer questions during border interrogations so they can prove their credibility as refugees.

Report: Three Million Votes in Presidential Election Cast by Illegal Aliens
Three million votes in the U.S. presidential election were cast by illegal aliens, according to Greg Phillips of the VoteFraud.org organization.
If true, this would mean that Donald Trump still won the contest despite widespread vote fraud and almost certainly won the popular vote.
“We have verified more than three million votes cast by non-citizens,” tweeted Phillips after reporting that the group had completed an analysis of a database of 180 million voter registrations.
Virtually all of the votes cast by 3 million illegal immigrants are likely to have been for Hillary Clinton, meaning Trump might have won the popular vote when this number is taken into account.
Vote fraud using ballots cast in the name of dead people and illegal alien voters was a huge concern before the election.
On the morning of the election there were 4 million dead people on U.S. voter rolls.

“President-elect Donald Trump … (said) … that he would bring back the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that Barack Hussein Obama sent away when he entered office.”
Please explain.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9436526/White-House-admits-it-did-return-Winston-Churchill-bust-to-Britain.html
Baron, this is discouraging. The article you link to is an undated one paragraph that itself then shows a 2012 article that claims there are two of those busts of Churchill. It just muddies the waters.
On another front, something strange is going on with the election results. The google table so many people watched during the election has disappeared without announcing the final results. The map cannot be accessed in google images. And I’ve seen an article claiming that Michigan won’t announce the results until Nov 28 — doesn’t have to. I am wondering if it may be to give the Clinton campaign time to ask for recount. (Of course, the results in Michigan won’t invalidate Trump win. It’s just icing on the cake.)
Then there are the folks at votefraud.org claiming millions of frauds. Don’t have any way to evaluate their claims at this time.
Yes, there were 2 busts of Churchill. Obama returned one of them. The article is old because the incident happened a long time ago.
“The article you link to is an undated one paragraph that itself then shows a 2012 article that claims there are two of those busts of Churchill.”
The article says that the one Bush got was “lent” (loaned). Why Mr. Bush would need to borrow one I didn’t see explained.

“And I’ve seen an article claiming that Michigan won’t announce the results until Nov 28 — doesn’t have to. I am wondering if it may be to give the Clinton campaign time to ask for recount.”
Michigan’s Republican governor (and party) has a serious political problem with water contamination in Flint, Michigan. Federal rescue, of course, would be from Mr. Obama (Democrat).
Could also be some people would like the presidential results to remain unknown as long as possible. With snow coming sooner or later as well as Thanksgiving, there’s a chance fewer people _in Michigan_ will care with each passing day.
“The Electoral College is Brilliant
…To become president of the United States of America, one must even today win the national election state by state….”
It insures that the country is a federation of states, not a group of provinces. Let’s keep it.
Rumor has it that the MB may soon be designated a terrorist organization. Christmas may come early this year!

That would gut the administration and make it easier to stop mosques going up like mushrooms. There all those terror cases pending which Eric Holder and Lynch have refused to prosecute. They ought to be re-opened.
I believe those ‘three million illegal votes’ are really just the tip of the iceberg. I hope in their quest to uncover a massive fraud on the American people that they get to the real figures, and soon.
Anyone who has two open eyes and ears that avert the controlled MSM for the more unbiased media ‘news’ and were interested in the American general election could not fail to witness the disparity between the numbers of Americans attending Trump rallies, as compared to the Clinton rallies – really, to any outside observer with an open mind it was a contest between the TRUTHFUL and the LIARS!
What is wrong about this voting fraud? Here in Kansas you have to prove you are a citizen before voting.
What are these other states doing? (3 million illegals voted?? Quelle horeur (sp). ).
This is totally un-American IMO. My mother brought us to USA in 1950 — she had to stand in line to get citizenship and it was unheard of (to my best knowledge) for non-citizens to vote here in those days. This really needs to be investigated and prosecuted.
“[Comment: one man is funding all of this…guess who?]” Borrowed from above somewhere.
Oh, do guess! It could only be one man and his name is Szaros Soros aka Georgy.
Why hasn’t he been deported yet? He is pure poison to America. Seriously. We of Hungarian stock, some of us, know this man’s history and it is evil ever since when he was a young man in Hungary shooting fellow Hungarians, either during or shortly after the war. I read about this years ago and there was even a picture to back it up — needless to say, it has disappeared as far as I know.
Oh, well — he is very ancient so perhaps he will die soon and have his interview with the devil — something else I learned in my youth. . .
Okay, I’m going out to pull weeds so I will not be infesting this site again today!
However, in parting I would still like to thank the Baron and Dymphna for all they do. There is a lot of news here that I don’t see elsewhere (not saying I’m very good at finding everything, though). But I was very happy to find you guys a number of years ago. . . news and commentary without the liberal twist to it.
Pulling weeds is so yesterday. During the drought I’ve been mowing mine and calling it a lawn.
My, and my family’s, life was irrevocably changed by illegal immigration. I have told this story here a number of times. It is a miracle that I and my children weren’t killed in our last encounter with an illegal immigrant and moved to another locale to escape (because we could afford it).
This was 20 years ago but it still sits hard with me.
Have any of you been following Brentwood, Long Island, NY?
The Federal Gov’t air dropped 1,500 “unaccompanied minors” into this community of 68% Latinos and… the killing began.
It started popping up on the local news and then the national news picked it up because the horrible murder of teens was too big to ignore…
I saw an extended piece on this where solely Hispanics were interviewed and they even can’t stand this anymore. They made no bones about the fact that the killings and intimidation started with the advent of these Central American “refugees”.
The mantra that the “little people” are being ignored is absolutely true.
Soros is not only hated in Hungary, but also in Russia because he ripped them off badly after the SU fell. He is funding all the present mayhem and must be livid that the money he banked on Hillary has gone up in smoke.
He admits to being a megalomaniac. Unfortunately he has a son, who has been photographed with the ‘Trump is not my President’ protests.
May God delete him!
He has been sentenced in absentia in France for some kind of financial malfeasance. Britain ought to have done the same. There are other countries, too:
