The European Union’s commissioner for migration says the EU can and will force member states, including Poland, to take their share of migrants that cross the external borders of the EU. Meanwhile, the number of migrants landing on the Greek islands has shown a sharp increase in the last few days, and may be an indication that Turkish President Erdogan is carrying out his threat to unleash a new flood of immigrants on Europe.
In other news, the body found in the house that blew up in Rockville, Maryland has been identified as that of the homeowner, Steven Martin Beck, who died of a gunshot wound. According to police, forensic evidence indicates that Mr. Beck shot both himself and his dog to death before the house blew up.

5 Reasons Billionaire David Rockefeller Won’t be Missed
With New World Order kingpin David Rockefeller dead, here’s a look at the top 5 reasons why he was one of the most despised people on Earth and won’t be missed.
1. Founder Of Several Secret Societies
David Rockefeller was a huge part of virtually every secret society of ultra rich on the planet. He was not just a member of the Council Of Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group — he was reportedly the founder. Through these secret societies and others like the occult Bohemian Grove club, Rockefeller conspired to control the media and governments around the world to establish his goal towards a one world government, even once thanking the media for its complicity.
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.” He went on to explain: “It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries,” David Rockefeller, said speaking at the June 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden, Germany.
2. Population Control
Rockefeller is no stranger to the agenda of population control. In a speech on September 14, 1994, during the Annual Ambassadors’ Dinner, he discussed how the U.N. should sustain the world’s population, noting that improved public health has caused global life expectancy to rise from 46 years in the 1960s to 60 years at the time. ‘Stabilizing the population’ — as Rockefeller called it — actually meant sterilization, vaccinations, encouraging abortions, using food as a weapon, and viewing disease and war as a means of “correction” to stop population growth.

David Rockefeller, “Mr. Globalist, “ Dead at 101
David Rockefeller (shown), the last of his generation of the fabled banking dynasty synonymous with wealth and power, died at the family’s sprawling country estate in Pocantico Hills, New York, on Monday, March 20. He was 101. The grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller, he was the youngest of five brothers, and the one destined to leave the biggest mark on the world.
The titles of news stories and obituaries announcing his passing refer to him as a banker, billionaire, businessman, and philanthropist. He was much more than that, but there has been little amongst the glowing tributes in the Rockefeller-friendly media to hint at his darker passions and accomplishments, particularly as they relate to his promotion of globalism and world government.

Doctor Extracts RFID Chip From Sex Trafficking Victim
If someone walks into a hospital and claims that they’re being tracked, and that they need to have a tracking device removed, there’s a pretty good chance that they’re going to be sent to a mental institution instead. However, according to a doctor who wished to remain anonymous to protect his patient, that very situation occurred last October and it didn’t end how you might expect.
The patient in question was a 28-year-old woman who claimed that she had a GPS tracking device planted in her body. Normally a patient like that would be regarded as crazy, but this woman appeared totally sane, and she had an incision mark on her side. So the doctor decided to check her out anyway. The medical staff at the hospital were stunned when they finally gave her an x-ray.
“Embedded in the right side of her flank is a small metallic object only a little bit larger than a grain of rice. But it’s there. It’s unequivocally there. She has a tracker in her. And no one was speaking for like five seconds — and in a busy ER that’s saying something.”
It turns out that it wasn’t a GPS device, but an RFID chip. “It’s used to tag cats and dogs. And someone had tagged her like an animal, like she was somebody’s pet that they owned.”
In a way, that makes it even creepier than a GPS device. RFID chips have a very short range. To be useful for tracking someone’s position, they would have to be kept confined in an area where the right equipment is in place to send or receive signals from the chip. The doctor would later discover that this woman was a victim of sex trafficking.

FBI Probing Breitbart, Infowars in Russia Investigation
Federal agents are investigating whether right-wing sites including Breitbart and InfoWars colluded in any way with Russian agents who were working to hurt Hillary Clinton’s chances in the presidential election, McClatchy reports.
The FBI-led investigation is focused on Russia’s use of social media “bots” to amplify stories that put Donald Trump in a favorable light when he appeared to be struggling during the campaign, two anonymous sources told McClatchy. Part of the investigation involves working to determine whether any of the sites whose stories the bots often amplified were cooperating in some way with the Russian operatives.
The bots were apparently strategically timed computer commands, which would spread links to stories from right-wing and Russian propaganda sites all over social media. The bots could operate without any help from the sites involved, but the FBI is nevertheless exploring the possibility. McClatchy’s sources said the federal agents are looking into Breitbart, InfoWars and the Russian propaganda outlets Sputnik and Russia Today, although it’s unclear if other sites are involved in the probe.

Who Are the Awan IT Staff That Hacked House Intelligence Computers?
Imran, Abid and Jamal Awan were IT staff hired by 31 House Democrats at a rate of 2.5-4x the median pay, yet were never really around.
They were fired earlier this year for hacking House Intelligence Computers and on suspicion of stealing equipment.
They were concurrently running a front car dealership “Cars International A”, and driving dignitaries around while employed as fulltime staff in the Congress.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz managed them.
Jackie Speier petitioned for them to obtain TOP SECRET clearance.
Obama gave them VISAs when they went to the white house with a visa lawyer.
There is also Omar Awan, and 2 of their wives in this story.
ll the “Awans” (suspected as a reusable ‘spy name’ like ‘Braverman’) are alleged to have been involved in a burglary of 20 congressional offices — stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment including computers and servers;
They 3 brothers were fired for illegally accessing and downloading information to a private server (similar to Hillary and Abedin),
And have since fled to Pakistan after moving money from shell account to Pakistan, holding their stepmother hostage and preventing her from visiting her husband, allegedly bedridden and died without any trace of a birth (lol) Death certificate. Yet he lives on in Pakistan, where all the brothers are now, putting islamic extremist jihadi propaganda on their facebook pages. “We are Awans, we break bones not hearts”. You know, representative of the sunny DNC / California types you trust your daughter to go surfing with.
They have ties to Hezbollah — “Imran owed money to Hezbollah”
House Democrats — including former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz — are standing by the Awan family, suggesting that racism is the reason behind the prove and the allegations. Keep in mind, they are standing behind criminals who DID illegally access computers, and DID hold their stepmother captive and DID illegally empty their Dad’s account (insurance fraud — Capitol police said) before fleeing to Pakistan (no power of attorney as it was unsigned). If you aren’t guilty, why flee, taking everything with you?

New Book Under Siege Looks at Canadian Governments Targeting Christians
From lawyer Don Hutchinson,
Don Hutchinson is a husband, father and grandfather who graduated from Queen’s University in Kingston and the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law a long time ago. The author of Under Siege: Religious Freedom and the Church in Canada at 150 (1867-2017), Don is a strategic thinker and planner who has been a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada since 1990. Not coincidentally, he is also a long time member and former board chair of Canada’s Christian Legal Fellowship. More.
The book is a compendium of religious freedom issues. Tellingly, Hutchinson writes,
Can you imagine the Supreme Court being the final authority on matters of religious belief and practice? How would they decide on the issue of holy communion: transubstantiation (the bread and wine of communion become the actual body and blood of Christ) vs. consubstantiation (the bread and wine co-exist with the body and blood of Christ in communion) vs. representation (the bread and wine represent the body and blood of Christ in communion) vs. using grape juice instead of wine vs. those Christians who practise a love feast with a full meal instead of just bread and wine/juice vs. those who do not practise sacramental communion in any manner? (P. 106)
Well, um, yes. We can imagine that. Parliament is setting out on that road this very day, slow but sure, with Bill M103.

Will Wynne Call an Early Election?
There are a number of reasons the federal Liberals took power back from the Conservatives in Ottawa after nine years in the 2015 federal election.
But it certainly didn’t help that then prime minister Stephen Harper was being hit almost daily in the media with revelations from the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy, which took place at the same time as the election.
The RCMP laid 31 criminal charges against Duffy.
Eventually he was found not guilty on all counts, but by then it didn’t matter.
The election was over and the Conservatives were out of power.
It was incredibly damaging to their re-election effort to have media outlets reporting on the scandal day after day by using phrases such as “institutional rot”, in reference to the Harper government, while the election was going on.
This fall will see four prominent Ontario Liberals put on trial.

Blog: Meet the New George Soros: Paul Polman, Crony Capitalist
Billionaire “philanthropist” George Soros has a very successful model. He’s set up think-tanks, advocacy shops, and phony democracy groups to promote his left-wing hobbyhorses — letting convicts out of prison, legalizing drugs, promoting LGBTQ social engineering, pushing his version of democracy via “color revolutions,” ending any meaningful definition of citizenship, swinging the Catholic Church toward materialistic socialism, incentivizing welfare over work, financing racial rage and identity politics, promoting the E.U. and other super-states, promoting atheism, financing global elites and their vast salaries — the full Uniworld Insta-Swede Eurotrashia vision.
Well, he’s got company. Lifezette’s Polizette believes that his successor may be on the horizon: one Paul Polman, who since 2009 has been CEO of Netherlands-based Unilever.

‘Brexit Cannot Come Fast Enough’ UK Fisherman in Race Against Time
FOR more than 500 years fishermen in the town of Padstow in North Cornwall have been risking their lives to put food on the nation’s tables.
The men, who learned their trade from generations of ancestors dating back to the Elizabethan era, regularly battle the elements to bring home their catch which supports thousands of jobs on the mainland.
Padstow has long been economically significant as a British fishing port having the largest harbour on the north coast of Cornwall.
However, its fishermen are facing the worst crisis in their history as their very livelihoods are diminished on a daily basis thanks to the European Union’s Commons Fisheries policy.

France: ‘Our Schools Are Not Safe Anymore’ — Le Pen Says Teachers Are ‘Afraid’ Of Going to Class
FRANCE’S schools have become so unsafe even teachers are “afraid”, Marine Le Pen has warned.

Speaking at a French election debate this evening, she vowed to separate church and state if elected later this spring.
Marine Le Pen, who is anti-immigration and anti-Brussels, said the problem is also being worsened by foreign students speaking their own languages at school.

Italy: RAI Show to Close After ‘Crazy’ Eastern Women Report
Show focused on why some Italian men go for Eastern Europeans
(ANSA) — Rome, March 20 — RAI chief Antonio Camp Dall’Orto on Monday announced the closure of a Saturday-afternoon talk show amid controversy over a report that the State broadcaster ran at the weekend on why some Italian men form relationships with women from Eastern Europe. “People make mistakes, and they’re duty-bound to apologise, but apologies sometimes aren’t enough,” said Dall’Orto, announcing the closure of Parliamone Sabato (Let’s talk About It Saturday), presented by veteran host Paola (RPT Paola) Perego. RAI President Monica Maggioni earlier apologized for the show, which House Speaker Laura Boldrini, among others, branded “unacceptable”. “I didn’t see the show. I’m finding out about it from websites,” Maggioni told ANSA. “What I see is a surreal representation of Italy in 2017.
Then, if this representation is given by the public service broadcaster, it is a crazy mistake, unacceptable. I personally feel involved as a woman. I apologize.
“As a company we will try to understand how this service came about”. The Parliamone Sabato show on flagship channel RAI1 featured a graphic showing what it argued were the six main advantages of romance with an Eastern European woman.
These included the ability to recover their figure after giving birth and, purportedly, a greater willingness to forgive affairs and let the man be the boss.
They also included a lesser inclination for “whingeing”, always wearing sexy clothes instead of pajamas or shellsuits, and being “perfect housewives”. RAI1 Director Andrea Fabiano also apologized via Twitter.

Italy 5-Star Builds Strong Lead Over Renzi’s PD in Polls
Italy’s anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, benefiting from a split in the ruling Democratic Party (PD) and divisions in the center-right, has built a strong lead over its rivals, an opinion poll showed on Tuesday.
The Ipsos poll in Corriere della Sera newspaper put the 5-Star, which wants a referendum on Italy’s membership of the euro, on 32.3 percent — its highest ever reading and 5.5 points ahead of the PD, which was on 26.8 percent.
The survey suggests that the 5-Star is likely to emerge as the largest group in national elections due by early 2018, although it might struggle to create a government given its stated aversion to forging coalitions.

Study: One Third of Young Muslims in France Think Terrorism is “Acceptable”
Full report delayed until after the election because it’s not “politically correct”.
A third of young Muslims in France think that terrorism is “acceptable” a new study has found, with the full report being delayed until after the election because it is not “politically correct”.
Findings of the study, which canvassed the opinions of 6828 high school students after the 2015 Paris attacks, were presented at a press conference in the French capital by researchers Olivier Galland and Anne Muxel.
The results are disturbing but not surprising given attitudes amongst Muslims living in European countries.
— A young Muslim is four times more likely to adhere to radical beliefs than a Christian.
— 33% of Muslim students consider it “acceptable” to “participate in violent actions for his ideas”. In other words, a third are sympathetic towards terrorism.
— 20% of Muslim students agreed with the statement that it was “acceptable to stand up for your religion with weapons”. — 24% of those surveyed refused to fully condemn the Charlie Hebdo killings.
— 21% of those surveyed refused to fully condemn the Bataclan theater massacre during which 89 people were killed as part of the wider November 13 Paris attack that claimed 130 lives.
It is worth emphasizing that the percentage of young Muslims who refused to condemn Charlie Hebdo and the November 13 massacre are likely to be much higher than the numbers listed above given that those results are representative of the entire sample, and Muslims make up just 25% of the sample.

Caroline Glick: The Real Face of Jordan
Jordan is the country to Israel’s east with which Israel has had a formal peace for 23 years.
And its people hate Israel, and Jews, even more than the Iranians do.
Every once in a while, the Jordanian people are given a chance to express how they really feel about Israel. It’s ugly.
Twenty years ago, on March 13, 1997, 7th and 8th grade girls from the AMIT Fuerst junior high school for girls in Beit Shemesh packed box lunches and boarded a school bus that was to take them to the Jordan Valley for a class trip. The high point of the day was the scheduled visit to the so-called “Island of Peace.”
The area, adjacent to the Naharayim electricity station, encompasses lands Israel ceded to Jordan in the 1994 peace treaty and Jordan leased back to Israel for continued cultivation by the Jewish farmers from Ashdot Yaakov who had bought the lands and farmed them for decades.
Israel’s formal transfer of sovereignty — and Jordan’s recognition of Jewish land rights to the area — were emblematic of the notion that the peace treaty was more than a piece of paper. Here, officials boasted, at the Island of Peace, we saw on-the-ground proof that Jordan and Israel were now peaceful neighbors.
Just as Americans in California can spend a night at the bars in Tijuana and then sleep it off in their beds in San Diego, so, the thinking went, after three years of formal peace, Israeli schoolgirls could eat their box lunches in Jordan, at the Island of Peace, and be home in time for dinner in Beit Shemesh.
Shortly after they alighted their buses, that illusion came to a brutal end.
The children were massacred…

Over 2,000 Heavily Armed Jihadis From Bangladesh Ready to Attack India
Bangladesh warns India about Jihadi Threat. Over 2,000 heavily armed Islamic Terrorist have entered India to Kill Hindu Nationalists.
Upananda Brahmachari | HENB | New Delhi | March 21, 2017:: The Bangladesh Govt has warned of an increase in infiltration of many deadly militants into India from across its eastern border, raising an alarm for the security and intelligence mechanism for its Indian counterpart.
According to source+, the Bangladesh government has informed the Home Ministry that over 2,000 Hujl and JMB militants had possibly crossed into the Indian side from the Bangladesh border and are hiding in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura.
Various reports of Indian intelligence proved that the Bangladeshi Jihadi modules were involved in Khagragarh Blast (Burdwan, WB)+, fake currency networks and cross border cow smuggling rackets. The Holey Artisan Bakery massacre in Dhaka+ also established the ISIS involvement with the Bangladeshi Jihadi modules.
The Bangladesh government’s report also suggests a marked increase in the number of infiltrators, which the intelligence agencies pegged between 800 and 659 for 2014-15.
The development comes on the back of findings by National Investigation Agency, which had found terror links and the direct role of JMB in the October 2014 Burdwan blast at Khagragarh in which two suspected terrorists were killed.
An alert has been sounded in view of the report and patrolling has been increased on the eastern borders…

EU Says They Can Force All Members, Including Poland, To Take Migrants

Dimitris Avramopoulos made the statement Tuesday in Warsaw, where he is visiting the growing European border guard agency, Frontex.
Poland is refusing to accept migrants, arguing they are chiefly economic migrants, not war refugees, and may potentially pose a threat.

Globalist: We’ll Force EU to Accept More Muslim Migrants
The European Union’s immigration commissioner says the bloc has the “tools, the means, and the power” to force EU member states to accept Islamic migrants.
Dimitris Avramopoulos, Greece’s commissioner for the EU’s “Common Immigration and Asylum Policy,” made the comments during a visit to Poland, which refuses to accept economic migrants into their country.
“If we don’t have tangible efforts by September… the Commission will not hesitate to make use of its power,” he warned.
Avramopoulos’ comments are the latest of a string of threats made by European officials to countries who challenge the EU’s migrant quotas meant to offset the 160,000 migrants from Italy and Greece by September.
“The Commission might start infraction procedures and we will certainly consider that,” said European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans last month, adding that “peer pressure” would eventually convince countries to adopt the policy.
The Commission, the unelected executive arm of the EU, has even threatened to fine member states ‚¬250,000 for every migrant they refuse to settle in order to “fairly and equally” distribute thousands of migrants across the continent.
The EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini announced last month that the bloc had no intention of sealing the borders to reduce the flow of migrants.
“Let me be totally clear from the very beginning: Europe does not and will not close its doors,” she said.
“I believe Europeans should understand that we need migration for our economies and our welfare systems, with the current demographic trend we have to be sustainable.”

Italy: EU Must Share Migrant Burden Says Gentiloni
First boats for Libya by mid-May says Minniti
(ANSA) — Rome, March 20 — EU members must share the migrant burden, Premier Paolo Gentiloni said at an EU-Africa contact group meeting Monday. Migration from Africa to Europe “will not disappear by magic from one day to the next, and those who promise miracles risk confusing public opinion,” he said, calling for “long-term work” and a common commitment. “The EU must take on the burden of the commitment, both in welcoming those who have rights and repatriating those who do no have rights; it’s not just geography that decides who should commit on common ground,” he said.
Gentiloni called for a collective effort to combat the asylum-seeker crisis, which is seeing record numbers crossing the Mediterranean to Italy. “Europe and North Africa contact-group meeting,” Gentiloni said via Twitter, “only a common commitment can make it possible to regulate migrant flows in the Mediterranean”.
Gentiloni told the EU-Africa contact group meeting on curbing central Mediterranean migrant flows that “Italy has greatly appreciated Europe’s commitment to supporting Libya, an open path that must become a wider road”. He said “in 60 years (since the Treaty of Rome), there have been many results, many expectations but also a few risks if we are not able to respond to some of the demands of our co-citizens.
“Among these the demand to regulate migrant flows in the central Mediterranean is one of the strongest demands”.
Gentiloni told the contact group that “we must cooperate to stabilise Libya. “We have the political and diplomatic foundations in the accords we have reached and I think that we know just as well, and (Libyan Premier Fayez) al-Serraj is the first to know, how much this diplomatic agreement needs to be strengthened in terms of consensus for the accord in the country”, Gentiloni told the group.
“Stabilisation is needed as well as combating further risks of division which have manifested themselves in the last few days” in Libya, where factions are fighting the internationally recognised national-unity government in Tripoli.
Fighting human traffickers on the central Mediterranean migrant route from Libya to Italy is a humanitarian fight, Gentiloni told the group.
“We must combat the idea that this initiative has negative aspects on the humanitarian level, it is the exact opposite,” Gentiloni said.
“Cooperation between Libya and EU countries is needed to prevent and restrict the action of traffickers who are the negation of any humanitarian principle,” he said.
Interior Minister Marco Minniti, for his part, told the group that Italy will deliver a first batch of motorboats to Libya to patrol its coasts by the end of April or within the first two weeks of May.
“The first of the 10 motorboats envisaged by the recent accord will be handed over,” he said, adding that “90 sailors of the Libyan Coast Guard have trained aboard the (Italian flagship) San Giorgio and are now in the last stages of their training”.
“When they are ready we will hand over the first boats,” Minniti said.
Minnit also said that migrant camps to be set up in Libya will be set up alongside humanitarian organisations and will therefore “fully” respect all human rights. According to the most recent figures, migrant arrivals from Libya to Italy this year were 31.88% up over 2016 and 80.96% up on 2015, at a record of over 18,000.

Rapid Increase of Migrants Arriving in Greece

But the last three days have seen 362 migrants arrive, fuelling speculation the agreement has collapsed following recent diplomatic spats between Turkey and several EU countries, Kleine Zeitung reports.

Sun Goes Blank for 2 Weeks Straight
(WATTSUPWITHTHAT) — Over the weekend, we reviewed the state of the solar data for March 2017. Now, there’s a two week straight lack of sunspots, the longest stretch since 2010.
Overview:
The sun is currently blank with no visible sunspots and this is the 14th straight day with a blank look which is the longest such stretch since April 2010 according to spaceweather.com. Historically weak solar cycle 24 continues to transition away from its solar maximum phase and towards the next solar minimum. In April 2010 — the last time there was a two week stretch with no visible sunspots — the sun was emerging from the last solar minimum which was historically long and deep. There have already been 26 spotless days in 2017 (34% of the entire year) and this follows 32 spotless days last year which occurred primarily during the latter part of the year. The blank look to the sun will increase in frequency over the next couple of years leading up to the next solar minimum — probably to be reached in late 2019 or 2020. By one measure, the current solar cycle is the third weakest since record keeping began in 1755 and it continues a weakening trend since solar cycle 21 peaked in 1980. One of the impacts of low solar activity is the increase of cosmic rays that can penetrate into the Earth’s upper atmosphere and this has some important consequences.

Stay strong, Poland and Hungary. There is no law on earth that says you have to take the murdering, raping, and beheading cultural enrichers into your country if you don’t want to. Has Europa completely forgotten about the sovereign rights of countries?
The cultural enrichers should return to their own countries where they can enrich each other all they want to — until something happens.
I also wonder how the British feel today. I am very sorry for the death and destruction that took place, but I do hope it knocked some sense into people who persist in thinking that Muslims are peaceful. Read your darned history and you will know better. Even an entry in the encyclopedia will set you straight on muslim history. They have NEVER been peaceful unless a strong ruler has his foot on their necks.
