Germany is bracing for a further influx of migrants coming into the country from Austria. The bulk of the immigrants who arrived in Germany in 2015 came across the Austrian border, and the German government is considering fortifying its southern border to prevent a repetition of that catastrophic influx.
In other news, President Donald Trump signed an executive order cutting off immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries that supply a large proportion of the world’s terrorists. Mr. Trump said he wanted to stop the flow of Islamic terrorists into the United States.

Europe Proposes “Restrictions on Payments in Cash”
Having discontinued its production of EUR500 banknotes, it appears Europe is charging towards the utopian dream of a cashless society. Just days after Davos’ elites discussed why the world needs to “get rid of currency,” the European Commission has introduced a proposal enforcing “restrictions on payments in cash.”
With Rogoff, Stiglitz, Summers et al. all calling for the end of cash — because only terrorists and drug-dealers need cash (nothing at all to do with totalitarian control over a nation’s wealth) — we are not surprised that this proposal from the European Commission (sanctuary of statism) would appear…

Federal Reserve Bankers Mocked Unemployed Americans Behind Closed Doors
IN 2011, UNEMPLOYMENT WAS at a near crisis level. The jobless rate was stuck around 9 percent nationally, an unusually high number due to the continuing effects of the financial crash.
House Democrats were aghast. “With almost five unemployed Americans for every job opening, too many people remain jobless because of a lack of work, not a lack of wanting to work,” said Congressman Lloyd Doggett, D-Tex. So in early November 2011, they introduced a bill to reauthorize Federal unemployment benefits, an insurance program designed to aide those looking for work.
Behind closed doors at the Federal Reserve however, the conversation struck a different tone.
The Federal Reserve’s mandate is to promote “maximum employment,” which essentially means: print enough money so that everyone who wants one has a job. Yet according to transcripts released this month after the traditional five-year waiting period, Federal Reserve officials in November 2011 were debating whether unemployment was caused by bad work ethics and drug use — rather than by the greatest financial crisis in 80 years. This debate then factored into the argument over setting monetary policy.

In Double Whammy for Turkey, Fitch Cuts to Junk After S&P Slashes Outlook
Ratings agency Fitch downgraded Turkey’s sovereign debt to “junk” on Friday, snuffing out its last remaining investment grade and underscoring deepening concern about politics and monetary policy in what was once a star emerging market.
The ratings cut, although widely expected by the market, came hours after rival agency Standard & Poor’s surprised investors by lowering its outlook for Turkey to “negative” from “stable”.

A Bad Omen for Megyn Kelly and NBC
By George Neumayr
In losing Megyn Kelly, Fox News appears to have fallen upward to higher ratings at a lower price.
“Fox News’s Tucker Carlson is nearly doubling the ratings of his predecessor, Megyn Kelly, when compared to the same time period last year, according to Nielsen Media Research,” reports The Hill. “‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ is up 95 percent in the 25- to 54-year-old demographic that advertisers covet most compared with the same period in 2016, when ‘The Kelly File’ occupied the 9 p.m. ET time slot. Carlson has averaged 775,000 viewers per night in the category, while Kelly averaged 398,000 during the same time period, Jan. 11—22.”
That Kelly can be so easily eclipsed is a bad omen for NBC. It is a testimony to the effectiveness of Carlson, but it also hints at the hollowness of the buzz around her. Much of that buzz derived from her status as a subversive at a conservative-leaning network, talk that will dissipate once she’s at NBC. Plus, Fox News viewers don’t appear to miss her too terribly, and there is little reason to believe they’ll follow her to NBC…

A History of the Amiga, Part 10: The Downfall of Commodore
The Amiga was a machine ahead of its time, but Commodore was in trouble.
As the 1990s began, Commodore should have been flying high. The long-awaited new Amiga models with better graphics, the A1200 and A4000, were finally released in 1992. Sales responded by increasing 17 percent over the previous year. The Video Toaster had established a niche in desktop video editing that no other computer platform could match, and the new Toaster 4000 promised to be even better than before. After a rocky start, the Amiga seemed to be hitting its stride.
Unfortunately, this success wouldn’t last. In 1993, sales fell by 20 percent, and Commodore lost $366 million. In the first quarter of 1994, the company announced a loss of $8.2 million-much better than the previous four quarters, but still not enough to turn a profit. Commodore had run into financial difficulties before, particularly in the mid-’80s, but this time the wounds were too deep. Sales of the venerable Commodore 64 had finally collapsed, and the Amiga wasn’t able to fill the gap quickly enough. The company issued a statement warning investors of its problems, and the stock plunged. On April 29, 1994, Commodore International Limited announced that it was starting the initial phase of voluntary liquidation of all of its assets and filing for bankruptcy protection. Commodore, once the savior of the Amiga, had failed to save itself…
Saving the Amiga wouldn’t have been easy, but it definitely was possible. Ultimately, the failure rests with Commodore management, who not only failed to adapt to a changing marketplace, but in many cases were actively hostile to their own company. To understand what they did and why they did it, we have to jump far back in time-to the creation of Commodore itself.

Trump changes politics forever by keeping campaign promises
Within four hours of becoming president of the United States, Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to limit immediately the effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) in ways that are revolutionary.
With the stroke of a pen, the president assaulted the heart of the law that was the domestic centerpiece of his predecessor’s administration. How did this happen? How can a U.S. president, who took an oath to enforce the laws faithfully, gut one of them merely because he disagrees with it?
Here is the back story.
When Obamacare went through Congress in 2010, all Democrats in Congress supported it and all congressional Republicans were opposed. The crux of their disagreement was the law’s command that everyone in the United States obtain and maintain health insurance — a command that has come to be known as “the individual mandate.”

More Fake News: Media Contrived Photos to Diminish Trump’s Inauguration
Oh my gosh, who cannot possibly tell from looking at these photos that Trump’s small hands clearly also translate into small audiences? The Obama crowd has packed the place, but Trump’s minuscule clusters almost look like they’re huddling for mutual support. Both photos are completely true. Both were taken at essentially the same time. There is no photoshopping. So, clearly the dozens, if not hundreds, of mainstream media outlets that ran the comparison photos or other photos very much like them, were telling the truth! The new presidents audience is practically nonexistent.
Oh, but wait a minute …
[…] and scroll down …
Here is another photo taken of Trump’s audience at the time of his inauguration:
Well, no wonder President Trump said that, from where he stood on the capital steps as he gave his inaugural address, his audience packed the mall from the capital building all the way to the Washington Monument. Is this even the same event as the one shown around the world by many major media corporations?
As it turns out, the only thing the fakestream media’s comparison photos actually reveal is whose audience — Trump’s or Obama’s — arrived first!
The comparison photos were each taken about an hour before the inauguration speech began. The third photo of the huge Trump audience was taken at the time of the inauguration. It was all a matter of timing. To explain why Obama’s crowd surged into the mall an hour or so earlier than Trump’s, consider the following likely explanations:

Next on Trump’s List: Rein in the UN Dictators Club
Establishment globalists were right to be concerned about the fate of their schemes. After a fast-paced first week of putting “America First” by targeting pseudo-”free trade” regimes and rogue regulatory agencies, President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take on the United Nations. Its swarms of agencies, programs, bureaucracies, conventions, and associated schemes are also in the crosshairs. According to a January 25 report in the anti-Trump New York Times, which claimed to have seen a set of draft orders being prepared by the administration, Trump plans to drastically reduce the U.S. government’s role at the UN and other international organizations. He is also planning a review of sovereignty-stealing UN treaties, with a view toward restoring self-government in various policy areas and saving U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars. Globalists everywhere are in a panic.

A faction led by Michael Flynn, Trump’s National Security Advisor, wants to add the Brotherhood to the State Department and U.S. Treasury lists of foreign terrorist organizations, the sources said.

Viral Video: Black Conservative Humiliates Anti-Trump Protester
Kevin Martin, a black conservative politician, respectfully hammered a white anti-Trump protester with facts about black-on-black crime until she fled the scene, while onlookers applauded the young man for his efforts.
In a video that has been viewed by well over five million people at the time of this writing, Martin begins by telling the shocked woman that Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization.
“You allow Black Lives Matter on campus, but you don’t allow White Power on campus. Why not? It’s the same sh*t. Both are hate groups and neither are productive. If you denounce one, denounce the other.”
The woman, holding a “Lock Him Up!” sign (referring to President Donald Trump), exhibited her illiberal intolerance for Martin’s arguments, dismissing him as “an anomaly.”
“Wow… I’m not even going to engage in something so absurd. This is just ridiculous,” she scoffed at Martin.
Martin continued on, speaking about the disproportionate number of blacks as a percentage of the U.S. population (~13%) in relation to their participation in gun and drug crime, which is over half.
He also noted that roughly 95% of violent offenses against blacks are perpetrated by other blacks, noting, “I have a 2,000% more likelihood to be shot by another black man, leaving this event, than I do by a white person, a police officer, or a neo-Nazi… African-Americans are killing each other. That’s what the problem is.”
The woman realized she had been routed and walked away in a daze, while onlookers applauded Martin.
“I can’t even hang out in black neighborhoods, because it’s a risk for me. It’s sad,” Martin continued. “There’s a problem within the African-American community, and it needs to be addressed.”
“Obama didn’t address it because he needed the black vote, and Al Sharpton didn’t address it because he’s making millions of dollars off of victimizing African-Americans.”

Appeal Court Upholds Sentence for Convicted Ottawa Terrorist Misbahuddin Ahmed
There will be no change to the prison sentence handed down to an Ottawa man found guilty of conspiring to facilitate terrorism.
In a decision released Friday, Ontario’s highest court has found there is no reason to interfere with the 12-year sentence handed to Misbahuddin Ahmed.
The Ontario court of appeal found the Ahmed’s sentencing judge made no error and rejected a request from federal prosecutors that the sentence be increased in 20 years and that Ahmed’s eligibility for parole be delayed. The court also rejected a request by Ahmed’s appeal lawyers to reduce the sentence to five to eight years.
Ahmed was found guilty of conspiracy to facilitate terrorism and facilitating terrorism in July 2014. He was acquitted of the most serious charge of possessing an explosive device.

UK: Freedom to Report the Persecution of Christians Threatened
The freedom to report both incidents of anti-Christian persecution and the ideology motivating such attacks is central to what Barnabas Fund and other organisations have done for many years. Yet those freedoms are now under threat, particularly in the UK, but also in other Western countries. This is a three-pronged attack.
First, although the press has been free from government regulation since 1694, there is now a serious possibility that the government will require all media outlets with multiple writers to sign up to a state sponsored press regulator. If they do not, in the event that they are sued, they will have to pay both their own and the complainant’s legal costs, even if they win. In other words, they could be quickly bankrupted. To make matters worse, several senior figures of this new regulator, including its CEO, are reported to be strong supporters of a campaign to stop major brands advertising with the Daily Express and Daily Mail because of their alleged negative portrayal of religious minorities. In fact, these two newspapers have repeatedly spoken out against Islamism and the persecution of Christians in Islamic countries — it was the Sunday Express front page, closely followed by the Daily Mail, that published the story Barnabas Fund first broke of archbishops from Syria and Iraq being denied UK visit visas to attend the consecration of the UK’s first Syriac Orthodox cathedral.
The second threat (as Barnabas Fund reported last summer) comes from an agreement between the EU and Internet companies such as Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter to take down any internet posts within 24 hours if what were termed “civil society” groups claimed they constituted “hate speech”. This effectively allowed lobby groups, including Islamists, to censor opinions they disagreed with by getting their members to mass report them. At the time the National Secular Society raised concerns that Facebook were censoring “atheist, secular and ex-Muslim content” after false “mass reporting” by “cyber Jihadists”.

‘Stop Soros’ Movement Sweeps Europe
Soros behind mass Muslim migration in Europe
A new initiative called Stop Operation Soros (SOS) is launching in the Balkan nation of Macedonia to counter the influence of globalist billionaire George Soros.
The founders of the group called on all “free-minded citizens” to join them in the “fight against one-mindedness in the civil sector, which is devised and led by George Soros,” reports a Slovenian newspaper.
Soros-funded non-government organizations have monopolized civil society in Macedonia and used their influence to suppress dissenting views, said SOS cofounder Nikola Srbov.
“The Open Society Foundation, operating under the Soros umbrella, used its funding and personnel to support violent processes in Macedonia,” he said in a press conference Tuesday. “That is unacceptable and goes beyond the principles of civic organizing.”
Soros set up the Open Society Foundation in in the 1980s with the stated goal of helping former Soviet bloc countries transition from communism, but in reality, the foundation is used to destabilize governments and foment discontent within countries.
And Macedonia isn’t the first country that’s turned against Soros.

France: Migrant Gang Burns Down Dunkirk Refugee Women’s Centre Just Two Weeks After it Opened
A SPECIAL centre built to help and empower women and their babies was “destroyed by migrants” just weeks after it opened, it has emerged.
The Women’s Centre at the refugee camp in Grande-Synthe on the outskirts of Dunkirk, northern France, was gutted by fire only a few weeks after it was officially opened by volunteers.
The centre was opened as a safe place for women refugees and their infants to get emotional support, help and information around feeding babies and young children, and health advice.
It was funded by thousands of pounds raised through crowdfunding.
According to volunteers helping refugees within the camp, which has housed hundreds of migrants trying to get into the UK since 2006, it has been infiltrated by a migrant “criminal gang” that is believed may be responsible for the fire.

President Trump has praised the mayor of Miami-Dade after he ordered the city’s jails to comply with the crackdown on ‘sanctuary’ counties.
Donald Trump has issued an executive order directing federal agencies to take away funding from self-proclaimed ‘sanctuary cities’ that limit cooperation with immigration authorities.
Unlike cities like San Francisco, Miami-Dade never officially labelled itself a ‘sanctuary’, but since 2013 has refused to indefinitely detain inmates who are in the country illegally and wanted by ICE.
However, that still landed the city on the list of ‘sanctuaries’ in the Justice Department’s May 2016 report.
On Thursday, fearing cuts of millions of dollars, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, a Republican who said he voted for Hillary Clinton in the last election, decided to make the city’s position clear.
‘In light of the provisions of the Executive Order, I direct you and your staff to honor all immigration detainer requests received from the Department of Homeland Security,’ Gimenez wrote to Daniel Junior, the interim director of the corrections and rehabilitation department.

“We are especially concerned about the potential for terrorist infiltration across the U.S.-Mexico border, particularly as foreign terrorist fighters depart Syria and Iraq and enter global migration flows.”

The U.S. Government will start publishing weekly lists of crimes committed by illegal invaders inside America, establish an “Office for Victims of Crimes Committed by Removable Aliens” which will “provide quarterly reports studying the effects of the victimization by criminal aliens present in the United States,” and will publish quarterly reports on the immigration status of all prisoners inside the country.
[Comment: Excellent. Fake stream media has been suppressing this information for decades.]

Women’s March Speaker Kidnapped, Raped & Tortured Gay Man to Death
[WarnIng: Disturbing Content.]
When the speakers at the Women’s March in Washington DC last week said they were “nasty women,” they weren’t kidding.
One speaker at the march, Donna Hylton, is a convicted felon who took part in the kidnapping, torturing, sodomizing and murder of a homosexual man.
– From The Daily Caller:
Hylton, along with three men and three other women, kidnapped 62-year-old real-estate broker Thomas Vigliarole and held him for ransom, before eventually killing him. As noted in a 1995 Psychology Today article, when asked about forcibly sodomizing the victim with a three foot steel pole, Hylton replied: “He was a homo anyway.” Speaking about Hylton, New York City Detective William Spurling told Psychology Today: “I couldn’t believe this girl who was so intelligent and nice-looking could be so unemotional about what she was telling me she and her friends had done. They’d squeezed the victim’s testicles with a pair of pliers, beat him, burned him.”
According to that same article, Hylton delivered a ransom note to a friend of Vigliarole’s asking for more than $400,000, even though the victim was already dead by that point. A 1985 article in The New York Times, which misspelled Donna’s last name as “Hilton,” put the ransom demand at $435,000. For her participation in the murder, according to Psychology Today, Hylton was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Despite being a sadistic killer, she now works as a professional victim whining about inadequate conditions in America’s prisons. From the description of her heinous crime, it sounds like she was lucky she didn’t get the death penalty.

So Trump just put forth an exec order to halt refugees. What do these orders do? What comes next? When do they pass into law?
After a terror event the left claims a difference between islam and muslim extremist.After action against extremist they claim no distinction,Me thinks they protest to much.
PM May banned Michael Savage, too, and cannot be trusted by Trump.
