Gates of Vienna News Feed 12/28/2016

A 14-year-old culture-enricher in the Molenbeek district of Brussels was caught with a rucksack containing several bombs. Some of the explosive devices bore the inscription “Allahu Akhbar”. The incident had nothing to do with Islam.

In other news, 45% of Tunisian young people are considering migrating to Europe.

India Cash Ban Has “Single-Handedly Crushed the Economy”… 1.25 Billion in Crisis

Editor’ s Comment:”Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.” — Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812)

It seems that the monetary powers are wrestling with public policy to work out how quickly they can bring millions, or even billions, of people to their knees. A reckoning may soon be coming to other nations as well, and America, too, may see economic devastation at home.

Venezuela’ s economic crisis has worn very hard on the people, and the currency very much plays into what socialist President Maduro has called an economic war with the West — with oil prices having kicked off the turmoil.

Now India is imposing strict cash controls for no particular reason, other than to merge bank account data with a billion biometric scans on people who live rural, poor lives. It is creating dire consequences for the middle and lower class economies, and yet it seems that the government has little regard for the pain that it is causing the people it is ruling over. Which country will clamp down next on its population with cash controls that amount to domestic economic sanctions?

India’s Prime Minister Has Singlehandedly Crushed the Economy with His Reckless Cash Ban

by Michael Krieger

Today’s piece should be seen as a bit of a followup to yesterday’s post, India’s Demonetization Debacle Highlights the Dangers of Monetary Monopoly. While yesterday’s piece was more philosophical/strategic in nature, today’s zeroes in on some of the devastating real world impacts of Narendra Modi’s insane and inhumane cash ban. It’s hard to overstate the damage this policy has done to India’s economy. Modi is quickly solidifying his place as one of monetary history’s biggest idiots.

First, let’s take a look at the destructive impact the move has had on India’s massive small businesses community. The Washington Post reports:

Congress Planning to Defund UN as Critics Seek Full Withdrawal

U.S. lawmakers and pro-Israel activists are calling for an end to American taxpayer funding of the United Nations after a controversial UN Security Council vote declared some Israeli settlements to be illegal. Congress is already planning to cut the UN’s funding in response to the UN scheme. The growing outrage also came from President-elect Donald Trump, who vowed that the UN situation would change once he is in the Oval Office. But other critics of the UN said defunding the “dictators club” would not be enough, and that it was past time for the U.S. government and other civilized member states to ditch the scandal-plagued global body altogether.

Court Opens Door for Trump’s AG to Act in Hillary’s Email Scandal

A federal appeals court has opened the door for Donald Trump’s U.S. attorney general, which will be Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., if confirmed, to intervene in the case of Hillary Clinton’s use of an unsecured, private computer server in her home for classified information.

The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in fact, says the law requires it.

The conclusion came in a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch seeking to retrieve emails that were not released to the public.

Entertainment World Loses Major Stars in 2016

2016 witnessed the passing of legends in all walks of life. And entertainment was certainly no exception. From television to music, famous performers took their final bows this year. For the next few minutes, we’ ll take a look back, beginning on the big screen.

Gene Wilder worked often with Mel Brooks and the combination led to some of cinema’s greatest comedies. Known for “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein.” Also famous separately for “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” among many other roles, Gene Wilder died in August. He was 83.

George Kennedy usually found himself in dramatic roles, whether for “Cool Hand Luke,” “The Dirty Dozen,” “Airport” or “The Eiger Sanction.” But he could also make a comedic turn as he did in three “Naked Gun” films. Kennedy died in February. He was 91.

Alan Rickman could play virtually any character, but he was best as a deliciously evil villain, such as in the action classic “Die Hard.” Also known for his work in “Love Actually,” the “Harry Potter” movies and as the sheriff of Nottingham in “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” Rickman died of cancer in January. He was 69.

‘Fundamental Transformation’ Was Fundamentally Evil

While substituting for radio talk-show host Glenn Beck last week, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, Sheriff David Clarke pointed to the manifestly unsuitable presidential candidate that was Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and compared the reaction of Obama detractors to his election with leftists’ response to the recent election of real estate mogul and media personality Donald Trump to the presidency.

Despite deep concerns many had over Obama’ s political deficiencies in 2008, Clarke noted that when Obama won the presidency, his political opponents did not claim that Obama had somehow stolen the election. They did not whine about shadowy foreign groups having helped him win, even though a very compelling case could be made that this did in fact occur through the influence of certain Saudi agencies at particular stages of his career. They did not protest in the streets. They did not produce fearmongering public service announcements asking Democratic electors to flip their votes or refuse to certify Obama’ s victory. They did not appear on television and radio news and talk shows presenting entirely baseless, utterly preposterous charges against the new president-elect, though the truth about his lack of fitness to hold any high office would have horrified a preponderance of the voting public had they been aware of it.

For my part, I don’ t recall any of that occurring either, nor do I remember Obama supporters being beaten at rallies by supporters of John McCain in 2008, or college freshmen being driven out of school by bullying over their support for Obama, (as was Bryn Mawr College student Andi Moritz over her support for Donald Trump).

In the case of Trump’ s recent election, Sheriff Clarke opined, leftists engaged in each and every one of these craven acts. As most readers know, Sheriff Clarke is a black man; while this ought not matter in terms of his articulating the truth, it is significant in light of the fact that most black Americans have been so brainwashed by progressives that their cognitive processes with regard to political, social and cultural issues often suggest a sort of mental retardation.

George Soros Goes There; Mentions Hitler in Attack on ‘Ascendant Populists’

George Soros has been very quiet lately which is a trend we have noticed. Besides for refuting (at least once) charges that he was funding protestors against Donald Trump (and blaming the rumors of his involvement on the “Alt-Right”) he has not been publicly active in the past couple of months. Now Soros is comparing current times to those in the 1930s. Soros knows his stuff so we assume he has basic knowledge of that period unlike many pundits spewing garbage on social media and the news — but we still find the comparison silly and offensive to say the least.

Is 100% of “US Warming” Due to NOAA Data Tampering?

The problem with the NOAA graph is that it is fake data. NOAA creates the warming trend by altering the data. The NOAA raw data shows no warming over the past century

The adjustments being made are almost exactly 1.5°F, which is the claimed warming in the article.

The adjustments correlate almost perfectly with atmospheric CO2. NOAA is adjusting the data to match global warming theory. This is known as PBEM (Policy Based Evidence Making.)

The hockey stick of adjustments since 1970 is due almost entirely to NOAA fabricating missing station data. In 2016, more than 42% of their monthly station data was missing, so they simply made it up. This is easy to identify because they mark fabricated temperatures with an “E” in their database.

When presented with my claims of fraud, NOAA typically tries to arm wave it away with these two complaints.

1. They use gridded data and I am using un-gridded data. 2. They “have to” adjust the data because of Time Of Observation Bias and station moves.

Both claims are easily debunked. The only effect that gridding has is to lower temperatures slightly. The trend of gridded data is almost identical to the trend of un-gridded data.

Snowplow Drivers Get Stuck in 65 Below Zero Temperatures

A blizzard in the Beartooth Mountains outside Cody trapped snow plow drivers and even the tow truck that came to pull them out. An amazing rescue saved one plow truck driver who spent all night in the cab of his plow. He survived deadly cold and wind.

In Cody Monday morning, just as temperatures rose above freezing for the first time in four days blinding blowing snow trapped a big backhoe in a drift, and it had to be pulled out with another rig.

All over town, tow truck operators were pulling cars out of the snow, even as the blizzard blinded them. But one of the men who saved Wyoming Department of Transportation tow truck drivers says conditions in the mountains outside Yellowstone Sunday morning were much worse…

The United Nations’ Plot Against the Free World

by Diana West

Ever wonder why the UN is a perennial force for Evil and the anti-American way?

It was the brainchild of Soviet agents.

No kidding. So much of our history has been stolen from us that I doubt even those currently and publicly bristling at the UN’s latest depredations against Israel (still holding the front line of the Western front) from Donald Trump to Charles Krauthammer, have any knowledge of this elementary fact. Nonetheless, the hidden/forgotten/suppressed record tells us that the United Nations took shape under the guiding hand of senior Soviet GRU officer Alger Hiss in his years covertly embedded inside the US State Department.

During multiple wartime conferences in the 1940s, Soviet agent Hiss was the leading organizer of the institution, and, in the founding assembly in San Francisco in 1945, served as acting UN Secretary General (in photo above, speaking next to his real Foreign Minister Molotov).

A bevy of American traitors were on hand for that historic first meeting disguised as US government officials, including Soviet agent/senior Treasury Department official Harry Dexter White, whose on-site handler, NKVD officer Vladimir Pravdin, attended the UN confab as a TASS reporter.

But that’s not all.

Canadian Supreme Court Kills Last Hope for Free Speech

One of the many striking aspects of the Court’s decision is the insistence that any judge, jury, or commission seeking to determine whether a speech act crosses the threshold of being punishable by law must not look to the speaker’s intent but must, rather, make an assessment of the potential of that speech act for causing hate…

Terrifying, isn’t it? As the major Enlightenment thinkers and America’s Founding Fathers understood, free speech is really quite a simple matter. Yes, out-and-out libel is something else, as is shouting fire in a crowded theater. But beyond that, either speech is free or it isn’t. The Canadian Supreme Court’s decision — with its tangled, tortuous logic, its quaint, absurd confidence in the possibility of “objectively” ascertaining whether this or that statement is capable of engendering hate, and its prioritizing of group sensitivities over truth itself — has now verified that north of the border, speech is decidedly unfree.

EU Under Fire as Berlin Backlash Escalates

The Islamic terrorist attack at the Berlin Christmas market on Dec. 19 may go down in history as the moment Europe experienced a seismic political shift away from a decades-long fling with multiculturalism.

The mainstream backlash against German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s migrant policies, which erupted last week in the wake of the horrific attack, shows no signs of slowing down. This is a marked difference from past terrorist attacks that were met with the usual canned expressions of “shock” and “sympathy” by Western leaders — before those same leaders went back to their usual business of promoting or accepting fresh waves of unrestrained migration from war-torn nations.

Barack Obama’s All-Out Attack on Israel

During the very last month of his presidency, Barack Obama has decided to launch an all-out attack on Israel. On Friday, Barack Obama’ s decision to allow UN Security Council resolution 2334 to pass without a veto was the greatest betrayal of Israel in modern American history, and now there are reports that the Obama administration is planning to introduce another resolution that would officially recognize a Palestinian state. Throughout his eight years in the White House, many have accused Obama of being the most anti-Israel president in our history, and now he is proving them right. Obama has also been accused of harboring sympathies for the agenda of the radical Islamic world, and at this point it is hard to argue that he doesn’ t. Everyone always knew that Obama greatly disliked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the way that Obama is currently behaving goes way beyond just being vindictive.

If it wasn’ t for the election of Donald Trump, there would be little hope of salvaging U.S.-Israeli relations at this point. On Twitter, Newt Gingrich actually used the phrase “ waging war” to describe what Obama is doing to Israel…

Meanwhile, back in the US, Newt Gingrich continued his outspoken ways, and slammed President Obama for not vetoing the resolution, likening the move to a “war” against the key ally in the Middle East. “Why is the Obama team waging war against Israel? Why are they taking steps to isolate and then kill a democracy and an ally?” Gingrich tweeted.

“President-elect Trump must prepare a comprehensive offensive for Jan 29 to undo the damage to Israel the Obama team is inflicting.”

“Congress should pass resolutions January 3-4 condemning Obama attacks on Israel and demanding he not participate in French or (U.N. Security Council) attacks,” Gingrich, a key Trump ally, wrote online.

I can’ t help but agree with Gingrich on this point. Barack Obama definitely seems to be acting out a secret vendetta against Israel during the last few days of his presidency.

Circle January 15th: 70 Nations Will Gather in Paris to Discuss the Creation of a Palestinian State

On January 15th, representatives from 70 different countries will gather in Paris, France for an unprecedented global conference. The stated goal of this conference is to promote a “ two-state solution” as the way that lasting peace will be brought to the Middle East. In Israel, there is a tremendous amount of concern that whatever is agreed upon at this conference will immediately be used as the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state. But things would have to move very rapidly in order for that to happen, because Barack Obama’ s time in the White House comes to an end on January 20th, and Donald Trump has already made it exceedingly clear that he would never support such a resolution.

The UN Security Council resolution that was passed on Friday was one of the most significant events that we have witnessed in decades. Resolution 2334 made all Israeli settlements in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem illegal, it set the 1967 ceasefire lines as the border between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and it granted every single inch of East Jerusalem to the Palestinians. But it stopped short of giving official UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state, and that is why this conference on January 15th is so important.

On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will lay out a plan which many believe will serve as the blueprint for the upcoming conference in Paris. This is something that I discussed yesterday. Apparently Kerry has been working on this for quite some time, and according to the Times of Israel, Jewish officials are fearful that he may propose something drastic…

‘Have They No Decency?’ Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer Calls Out the SPLC

“The SPLC and others who asked me not to come here tonight claim to support free and open debate. But in reality, they seem to want to stifle debate.” Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer, December 15 2016

Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer was told by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) not to attend the Center for Security Policy’ s Freedom Flame Award Dinner. But he went anyway and gave a speech that the mainstream media does not want you to hear.

The SPLC has attacked Frank Gaffney, the President and Founder of the Center for Security Policy as being “ Anti-Muslim,” a ridiculous assertion.

“Gripped by paranoid fantasies about Muslims destroying the West from within,” the Southern Poverty Law Center laments, “ Gaffney believes that ‘ creeping Shariah,’ or Islamic religious law, is a dire threat to American democracy.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center evidently is unaware of world events, blindly casting stones at the few rare heroes like Frank Gaffney who are brave enough to stand against those who promote policies that put Americans potentially at risk.

Dermer criticized the SPLC for attacking brave voices such as Brigitte Gabriel, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and David Horowitz:

“Yet in an Orwellian inversion of reality, a woman whose life is threatened every day by extremist Muslims is labeled by the SPLC an anti-Muslim extremist,” he said. “ Have those who put Ayaan on that list no shame? Have they no decency?”

Provincial Governor spokesman Zabiullah Amani, said the men were linked to the Taliban, according to a brief article in the Nation, which reported that the incident took place in the remote village of Latti in the Sar-e-Pul province.

Amani said the woman was beheaded because she visited the city alone without her husband.

That’s not allowed under strict Islamic law, also called Shariah.

Mozambique Deports Ethiopian Invaders

The African state of Mozambique has started deporting dozens of Ethiopian invaders back home in cooperation with the United Nation’s International Organization for Migration (IOM). The deportation action reveals that “applications for asylum” by Ethiopians in Europe and America are just another hoax. Following their arrival in Ethiopia, IOM provided each adult migrant with a small reinsertion allowance and transportation to Addis Ababa’s bus station, where they caught buses to their hometowns.

Third World Drives Cheetah Extinction

Uncontrolled African population growth, hunting in Asia, and Gulf State demand for ornamental baby cubs are together driving the world’s cheetah population to extinction, a new report has revealed. There are currently only about 7,100 cheetahs left on the planet, the report said, adding that the animal has been “wiped out” in the Middle East, and more than half remain in six countries in southern Africa.

Geert Wilders: “We Need to Close Our Borders”

Anis Amri, the Tunisian terrorist responsible for the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin earlier this month, fled from Germany to the Netherlands after his horrendous crime. In the Netherlands, he took a bus to the French city of Lyon and then took a train to the French Alpine town of Chambery. Finally, he headed to Milan, Italy, where he was — thank God — at long last shot by the Italian police.

As France24 points out, the news about Amri’s travel has sparked outrage in Europe:

The fact that the chief suspect in the Berlin attack was able to return to Italy unhindered despite a Europe-wide arrest warrant has raised uncomfortable questions for intelligence agencies.

It is, of course, humiliating for France: Amri was able to get in and out of the country despite a state of emergency.

In the Netherlands too, the news that Amri — or the butcher of Berlin, as I prefer to call him — was able to hop on a bus in the city of Nijmegen has created a major controversy. PVV leader Geert Wilders — who’s currently leading in the polls and who should be considered the main favorite to win the Dutch elections in March of 2017 — has rightfully responded with tremendous anger to this news. Speaking to PJ Media, Wilders says:

This is Europe today. Weak leaders, open borders and Muslim terrorists who freely travel all over our continent wherever they want and kill whenever they see fit. Our governments are asleep, our secret services have no clue at all and our people are killed and in serious danger.

Italy Surpasses Greece as Top Euro Destination for Asylum Seekers

At a busy office in central Rome, the man who oversees Italy’s national network of committees that process asylum requests sits behind a desk with tall piles of folders.

Angelo Trovato says each committee has three members — representing police, local authorities and the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR.

“Each applicant is interviewed by one committee member,” says Trovato. “But when it comes to deciding the destiny of an individual, the decision can’t be by a single person. It must be reached collectively.”

Rifling through his paperwork, he pulls out a sheet and points out that, in just two years, the number of committees has grown from 10 to 48.

More Migrants Will Come to UK Than Entire EU Populations if Britain Stays in Single Market, Think Tank Warns

More migrants will come to Britain than the entire populations of Bulgaria, Latvia and Lithuania combined if the UK stays in the Single Market after Brexit, a leading think tank has warned.

A new analysis by Migration Watch found that unless free movement is curbed after Brexit more than 12million people will come to Britain over the next 25 years, putting an ever increasing strain on public services.

Poll: Utahns Support Deporting Undocumented Immigrants With Criminal Records

SALT LAKE CITY — An overwhelming majority of Utahns want President-elect Donald Trump to keep his promise to deport undocumented immigrants who have criminal records, a new poll shows.

Seventy-five percent of Utahns either strongly or somewhat support Trump’s plan to deport undocumented immigrants with criminal records, according to a UtahPolicy.com poll released Tuesday.

Of 614 registered Utah voters who responded to the Dan Jones & Associates survey conducted Dec. 8-12, 46 percent said they strongly support Trump’s plan, while 29 percent said they somewhat support the plan.

Thirteen percent said they somewhat oppose it, 9 percent said they strongly oppose it, and 2 percent were undecided. The poll had a 3.95 percent margin of error.

The poll’s results got mixed reactions among immigration advocates, civil liberty groups and conservative leaders.

Brandy Farmer, president of Centro Civico Mexicano, Utah’s oldest nonprofit Hispanic organization, said the poll left her feeling “disappointed,” expecting a more sympathetic culture in a state known for its welcoming nature.

“It surprises me that (Utahns) are not more sensitive to families,” Farmer said, pointing out that many Utah youths serve missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, learning acceptance and respect for cultures worldwide…

So You Honestly Believe That Muslims Can Integrate Into American and European Society?

Over 1,000 RADICAL Muslims gathered in the streets of London demanding a Caliphate. Incidentally, they happen to be the SAME Syrians and other Arabs who make up the people you know as THE PALESTINIANS.

Unfortunately for the latest hypocrisy at the UN and for the first American president who made sure no nation will ever trust America again, there’s a narrative the Islamists and Barry Soetoro don’t want you to know. It is this:

There’s no such person, nation, civilization, country, culture know as “Palestinian.” There’s no Palestinian history, cuisine, religion, architecture, ancient artifacts and archeology, language, literature or art known as “Palestinian.” The Palestinians were “invented,” exactly as Newt Gingrich a history professor stated, in Moscow circa 1964.

In case you have doubt about the accuracy of the history at the link, perhaps you won’t from the words of THE GATESTONE INSTITUTE written more than a year after my work. If that were not enough, perhaps you’ll consider the CIA Competitive TEAM-B Report’s words.

The Suicide of Germany

Of the 1.2 million migrants who arrived in Germany in 2014 and 2015, only 34,000 found work.

Angela Merkel went to lay white roses at the scene of the Christmas market attack in Berlin. Thousands of Germans did the same. Many brought candles and cried. But anger and the will to combat the threat remained largely absent.

Nothing better describes the present state of Germany than the sad fate of Maria Landenburger, a 19-year-old girl, murdered at the beginning of December. A member of a refugee relief organization, Landenburger was among those who welcomed migrants in 2015. She was raped and murdered by one of the people she was helping. Her family asked anyone who wanted to pay tribute to their daughter to give money to refugee associations, so that more refugees could come to Germany.

The law that condemns incitement to hatred, presumably intended to prevent a return to Nazi ideas, is held like a sword over whoever speaks too harshly of the growing Islamization of the country.

The great majority of the Germans do not want to see that Germany is at war, because a merciless enemy has declared war on them. They do not want to see that war has been declared on Western civilization. They accept defeat and docilely do what jihadists want them to do: they submit.

If Angela Merkel does not see the difference between Jews exterminated by the Nazis, and Muslims threatening to exterminate Christians, Jews and other Muslims, she is even more clueless than it seems.

[Comment: It’s murder, not suicide. Merkel is not clueless. Do not ascribe to stupidity what is best ascribed to malice aforethought.]

5 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 12/28/2016

  1. “As news of the municipality’s decision to allow the young girls to remain with their spouses emerged, fury erupted across Sweden and the Child Ombudsman hit out against the ruling.”

    Are the famously passive Swedes reaching boiling point yet? No, the temperature will need to be stoked higher yet, which the Malmo muslims will oblige with in months to come.

  2. Regarding Merkel, if it’s “malice aforethought” what is the reason for it?

    Is it an unconscious death wish?

    • She is a willing puppet of the Globalists and what she is doing she finds easy to do because she has an obvious lack of empathy for those she is affecting the most, the German people. Add to that her Communist background and I think you’ll get the picture
