Gates of Vienna News Feed 6/5/2017

The big news story of the day was a jihad-related hostage-taking in Melbourne. A culture-enriching fellow took a woman hostage in an apartment. When police arrived, he came out shooting, and was himself shot dead. Apparently he had already shot and killed someone else before police arrived. His hostage was rescued, and was relatively unharmed. Before he died, the alleged perp reportedly called a TV station and said that he was doing it for ISIS and Al Qaeda.

In other news, at least seven migrants were found dead in an abandoned refrigerator truck near the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

Civilization Jihad, The Islamic Trojan Horse

“The Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of the Washington establishment is remarkable by any standard. Former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo noted in October 2011: “What we’re seeing not just inside the White House, but inside the government entities, the national security entities, the State Department — – — – is a strong push by the Muslim Brotherhood to get their people not just into operational positions, but policy positions — deeper, long term, bureaucratic positions.” -Robert Spencer, Muslim Brotherhood in America

“Barbarism will bring you no glory, evil will bring you no dignity. If you choose the path of terror, your life will be empty, your life will be brief, and your soul will be condemned… Heroes don’t kill innocents, they save them.” -President Donald J. Trump

Violent jihad is easy to identify and obvious in the danger it presents, we’ve seen it time and time again in Orlando, at Ft. Hood, the Boston Marathon, Chattanooga, San Bernardino, etc., all of which occurred while Obama was President.

And the democrat appointed leftist judges on our federal courts don’t want us to stop importing these barbaric savages who kill innocents in the name of their false god. Even with the alleged vetting of refugee immigrants, we end up with the likes of Tun Lon Sein who is in custody and facing federal charges after he caused a nasty incident in Charlotte, NC. But the stealth of civilization jihad is far more dangerous and it has already made vast inroads.

Civilization jihad is by its nature and design a subtler, but truly more dangerous threat in the long run. It aims to transform a society from within so it can eventually be brought under Islamic law.

Since the goal is the overthrow of the society and its existing government and laws, civilization jihad can be a “pre-violent” preparation for violent jihad or if successful enough, it may well achieve the desired end on its own.

The term “civilization jihad” is our enemy’s own name for efforts to subvert our society from within using the very freedoms they will then take away.

Godfather Not

by Diana West

Some call it reframing; others put a coat of paint on it and call it a new car. Basically, it is the process by which a deception is perpetrated simply by saying thus is so and pointing to the shiny surface as proof.

This is once again happening with the egregious David Horowitz. Several years ago, I had the unexpected misfortune of having to experience the true nature of David Horowitz due to his spearheading a disinformation campaign against me and my 2013 book American Betrayal. This campaign of lies would end up including nearly two dozen pieces by a cabal of writers, the first of which I rebutted, perhaps ironically, at Breitbart News. (Other rebuttals, too, for that matter, ran at Breitbart when other websites refused me space.) For new readers, American Betrayal, in part, is about how Moscow-directed and -loyal communists and their accomplices were secretly able to infiltrate and influence the US and other great powers into cataclysmic acts that entrenched, enriched and expanded the Soviet empire abroad; at home, they rotted out the Republic long before “the Sixties” ever began — all, according to “court history” ever since, under the banner of “victory” in World War II and the Cold War. It seems fair to say this is not a subject that a normal anti-Communist, especially ex-Communist, would lose his mind over.

In the several years since (and during) this shockingly sustained attack-campaign, I also began to learn how Horowitz has shaded his own biography to obscure the proximity of his early life to the KGB in America — an alarming choice for one self-billed and trusted as a guide to domestic Communist affairs.

There. Disclaimer done. Where was I?

The latest Horowitz-reframing appears in a paint-job-superficial Washington Post piece headlined: “How a ‘shadow’ universe of charities joined with political warriors to fuel Trump’s rise.”

The Post’s premise — the centrality of Horowitz in that “shadow” universe supposedly fueling the rise of Donald Trump — could not be more wrong, or more absurd. For one thing, Trump’s lift-off was in 2015, sans charities or shadow-universe thereof. Where was Horowitz? “This column is not an endorsement of Donald Trump or any candidate,” Horowitz wrote on December 22, 2015. (Full disclosure: My own endorsement of Trump ran at Breitbart News on December 26, 2015; then again, I am not a tax-exempt charity.) Soon thereafter, as Trump swept toward the nomination, Horowitz would start piggybacking onto Breitbart News with a series of look-at-me-Trump op-eds. At the time, it struck me as a naked effort to catch up with the Trump Train before it pulled into Washington without him…

Pittsburgh Mayor’s Head in Rectal Darkness

“The mayor of Pittsburgh fired back at President Trump Thursday for his use of the city in rationalizing withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, saying the city will continue to follow the deal. Bill Peduto (D) tweeted Thursday that “it’s now up to cities to lead” after Trump announced that the U.S. will pull out of the Paris climate deal.”

Not to be outdone, The Club of Loons, immediately jumped on the garbage cart with chest beating and damn near to tears in their agony:

US politicians pledge commitment to Paris Agreement following Trump’s announcement…

The late Gus Hall (real name Arvo Kustaa Halberg) was chairman of the Communist Party USA and ran for president four times. He was instrumental in inculcating the Marxist poison into union halls around the country. Old Gus penned a piece of Soviet propaganda titled, Ecology: Can we survive under capitalism? Not a long book but one filled with the standard boiler-plate horse poop spewed by the brainwashed who never wonder. The goal, according to Comrade Hall was to use the environment to destroy capitalism through regulations and destruction of private property ownership — all to save mother earth.

One of the most important pieces EVERY adult American should read because this has NOTHING to do with political party loyalty was written by a woman I know who has never received the credit she so richly deserves for her irrefutable research and writing — most of which is no longer available, even on the Internet. Jeri Lynn Ball. Many, many times over the past 17 years I have nearly begged people to read this because while the serial adulterer dung bag in office at the time Jeri wrote the synopsis of her book Masters of Seduction is gone, until President Trump came along, little Georgie Bush and Barack Hussain Obama (one of he five aliases he used in his life) were on board the totalitarian train.

Can the New World Order be defeated? Yes! Can Americans save this nation and the world? Absolutely! Masters of Seduction shows the way! Condensed from the book Masters of Seduction (Plus Vital New Facts) MASTERS OF SEDUCTION Beguiling Americans Into Slavery and Self-destruction Copyright (c) 2000 by Jeri Lynn Ball

“At the Sixth Party Congress held in Moscow in 1928, Communists wrote and approved “The Program” to bring in the New World Order. What most Americans don’t know is the real nature of this diabolical criminal scheme. The Program of the Third International called for a global environmental program and for the transformation of all human beings on earth to accept the New World Order. These and other facts are brought to light by General Benton Partin in his videotape, Globalism: The Program. The Communists planned to use the global environmental program as a means of eradicating national sovereignty and creating a world dictatorship.

“All nations, nationalities, and national boundaries were to be replaced by an omnipotent, one-world government and regional governances. The Communists did not want the American approach to liberty, with individual God-given rights protected by a government with limited powers. The Communists did not want the American concept of rule of law. They wanted unrestrained despotic government, power without limit, a world without laws-a brutal, terror-inspiring global totalitarian police state which could smash all laws of justice, launch campaigns of enslavement and mass murder, and eliminate opponents of the New World Order. Twenty delegates from the U.S. voted for the 1928 Program of the Third International.” [see article for link to pdf of book]

TBS Edits Out “Terrorist” From ‘Back to the Future’

Who could forget the film “Back to the Future?” The 80s classic is a frequent pick for many movie channels to screen on the weekends and is beloved by people everywhere. There are many great moments and quotable lines — like “88 miles per hours!” and “1.21 Jigawatts!”— that have managed to find their way into our pop culture and have stayed there for decades.

Yet Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) felt the movie needed a more modern update. While showing part one of “Back to The Future,” TBS edited the word “terrorists” and glossed over as if it had never been said. Despite the word “terrorists” not being a curse word or sexually explicit, Turner decided the word merited censorship.

The New Strategy to Defeat ISIS

President Trump and Secretary of Defense Mattis are unveiling a new strategy to defeat ISIS. In addition to forming the first coalition of Arab states to work in tandem with the U.S. in ferreting out and destroying radical Islamic terrorists, the President and Defense Secretary have moved American war fighting from a campaign to liberate lands held by ISIS to a campaign to eradicate ISIS.

The shift is a momentous change in U.S. foreign policy and military strategy, yet it is going by with hardly any notice from the media. By integrating military and military intelligence operations across allied Arab states, the United States for the first time is gaining the means to eliminate its enemies before they cross over to ISIS training camps and terrorist operations. By changing war fighting from a campaign to retake lands occupied by ISIS to one aiming to eradicate ISIS, the prospect for ending terror is now a real one.

In Mosul, for example, Defense Secretary Mattis is encircling the terrorists, not only to cut off their lines of supply and reinforcement, but also to ensure that they are not able to escape and reform elsewhere. He means to kill them, and he intends to allow no terrorist to escape if at all possible.

Austria’s Kurz Plans $14 Billion of Tax Cuts to Boost Growth

Sebastian Kurz, the conservative candidate in Austria’s October election, wants to jump start the economy by lowering taxes and other costs by at least 12 billion euros ($13.5 billion) a year to help companies invest and create jobs.

“Austria has lost ground as a business location in recent years,” the 30-year-old Kurz, who is now foreign minister, said in a telephone interview. “We need to reduce the tax and contribution rate at least to 40 percent from the current 43 percent.”

Austria will hold early national elections on Oct. 15 after Kurz, chairman of the People’s Party, ended a coalition with the Social Democrats. The two parties had been at odds over a range of topics including taxes, migration and education before Kurz decided to let the public settle the disputes with a snap vote. The Social Democrats, led by Chancellor Christian Kern, wanted to wait until regular elections due next year.

Flashback: British PM Pushed Internet Regulations Before London Attacks

Perfect example of problem, reaction, solution

Editor’s note: I’m reposting this Infowars article from May 19 to document how British Prime Minister Theresa May wanted strict Internet regulations, including curbs on free speech, weeks before the London attacks this past weekend. This is a prime example of how the government fuels a problem (Islamic terrorism) then offers a predetermined “solution” to the problem which only expands government power at the expense of individual rights without solving the actual problem.

British Prime Minister Theresa May wants the UK to pioneer on-line speech regulations that would effectively create a new, government-controlled Internet.

The leader of the Conservative Party spearheaded a “manifesto” demanding new controls on how the Internet works, possibly by making radical changes to the Internet’s architecture, paving the way for the eradication of free speech on-line.

“Some people say that is it not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the Internet,” the manifesto stated. “We disagree.”

The goal is for Britain to emerge as the “global leader in the regulation of the use of personal data and the Internet.”

I’m Sick of Politicians Pussy Footing Around. As They Won’t Say it, I Will — We Are at War

by Richard Littlejohn

Normally, in the wake of such atrocities, we are treated to the tired mantra that they are ‘nothing to do with Islam’.

Indeed, after the Manchester massacre, that city’s calculating, two-bob chancer of a mayor Andy Burnham even tried to insist that the suicide-bomber ‘wasn’t a Muslim’ — which would have come as a great surprise to him (before he blew himself up), his extended terror network, his family and everyone else who knew him down his local mosque.

Theresa May didn’t go that far. But she did feel it necessary to state that the killers subscribed to ‘an ideology that is a perversion of Islam and a perversion of the truth’. How does she know it’s a perversion? She’s the daughter of an Anglican clergyman, not an Islamic scholar. Does she think the Saudi predilection for chopping off heads, or the popular Pakistani sport of stoning to death women accused of adultery are perversions of the religion of peace, too?

Sorry, but if someone says they want to kill me on behalf of ‘Allah’ then I’m prepared to take his word for it.

Manchester Attack Victim Eilidh Macleod Buried on Her Home Island

An Ariana Grande song has played at the funeral of Manchester attack victim Eilidh MacLeod, who has been taken to her home on a remote Scottish island.

The 14-year-old was one of the 22 people killed on 22 May in the bombing at a Grande concert at the Manchester Arena. Her funeral is the first of the victims of the attack to be held.

Eilidh was from Vatersay, which is connected by a causeway to the island of Barra, where her funeral was held. She had been in Manchester for the concert.

The teenager’s coffin was flown back to Traigh Mhor beach on Sunday, draped in the Barra flag.

‘Security Not a Priority’: British Pundit Unloads on Jihad-Compliant UK

Former British comedian Pat Condell has established himself as a leading outspoken and incisive voice against the spread of Islam in Europe, having unleashed a torrent of blistering Tweets aimed at UK politicians and media after the latest London attack.

“Let ISIS fighters return to UK,” he wrote. “Ignore repeated warnings from the public. Don’t arm police officers. Clearly our security is not a priority.”

Let ISIS fighters return to UK. Ignore repeated warnings from the public. Don’t arm police officers. Clearly our security is not a priority.

– Pat Condell (@patcondell) June 5, 2017

Condell has repeatedly pointed out that many jihadists are well-known to authorities, who do little to prevent them from becoming active killing machines.

“Again the killer is a walking red flag,” he wrote. “Reported twice to authorities. They do nothing. Another bloodbath. Thanks.”

UK: Imam, 81, Who Was Known as Uncle, ‘Sexually Assaulted Primary School Girls as Young as Five as They Listened to Him Reciting the Koran’

An 81-year-old imam known by his students as ‘Uncle’ sexually assaulted primary school girls as young as five as they listened to him reciting the Koran, a court heard today.

Mohammed Haji Sadiq is accused of sexually touching girls aged between five and eleven at his Koran classes in a mosque in Cardiff.

Sadiq from Cyncoed, Cardiff, allegedly felt the stomach, chest and private parts of the young girls at the Madina Mosque — and would also pull them towards him to rub their bodies against the inside of his legs.

It is alleged that Sadiq would abuse the girls after calling them to sit next to him so he could listen to them recite the Koran.

Businesses are encouraged to review their security plans to ensure that the measures they should already have in place, are current and have been recently tested to ensure staff are prepared and confident.

The London Bridge attack saw the use of a vehicle as a weapon and bladed weapons, however you should ensure that your planning and responses consider the full range or potential terrorist attack methodologies including IEDs (person borne, placed or vehicle) following the Manchester attack.

Why CNN’s Denial That They Staged a Muslim Anti-Terror Protest is BS

Network caught in shameful fake news hoax

CNN was forced to deny charges that they helped stage an Muslim anti-terror protest in London, but their excuse doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

A video that emerged last night shows CNN reporter Becky Anderson organizing and directing a group of Muslims holding anti-terror signs the day after Islamic terrorists killed seven and injured nearly 50 in London.

Anderson ensures that the demonstrators are positioned perfectly before recording her piece to camera, during which she describes the scene as “wonderful”.

The same group was also filmed at multiple other locations, suggesting further coordination with media outlets.

Flashback: Egypt’s Hatred for Anne Patterson

Why protesters are calling for the ambassador to leave the country.

Following the Egyptian media, however, one discovers that the reasons Egyptians dislike Patterson are many and unambiguous.

Last week, for example, El Fagr reported that, during their most recent phone conversation, Patterson demanded that Egypt’s recently appointed Supreme Commander of the Egyptian Armed Forces, General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi, release all Muslim Brotherhood members currently being held for questioning: “And when Sisi rejected this order, the American ambassador began threatening him that Egypt will turn into another Syria and live through a civil war, to which Sisi responded violently: ‘Neither you nor your country can overcome Egypt and its people.’“

Earlier, Patterson was reported as “trying to communicate with General Sisi, demanding dialogue with the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, and concessions to them,” to which Sisi reportedly retorted: “Stop meddling in our affairs… the Egyptian people are capable of looking after their own welfare.”

These are just the latest samplings from Egypt concerning the ambassador’s attempts to reinstate the Brotherhood to power.

How Egypt’s Gas Warfare in Yemen Led to Israel’s Preemptive Air Assault in the 1967 Six Day War by Jerry Gordon

Today is the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Six Day War victory of Israel over the combined United Arab Republic forces — Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq. Israel’s preemptive air strike in the opening hours of the war that destroyed Egypt’s air force and decimated those of Jordan and Syria was a key strategic factor.

What motivated the planning by T’zahal at the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv to adopt such a stunning surprise strategy? Moreover, what is the legacy that motivates Israel’s military strategy of attacking nuclear and non-conventional weapons facilities maintained by adversaries in the Middle East? Further, how is that strategy supported by civil defense exercises to deal with potential mass casualties in the Jewish nation, should those adversaries deliver those non-conventional weapons by tube launched weapons, missiles or drones?

The answer to the first question is the subject of a Wall Street Journal op-ed in today’s edition by Asher Orkaby, senior researcher in Harvard University’s Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Department, “Syria’s Chemical Weapons Might Start a New Six Day War.” Orkaby is the author of a forthcoming book to be published in July 2017 by Oxford University Press on Egypt’s role in the Yemen Civil war in the 1960’s.

What Orkaby reveals is that Nasser’s use of nerve gas dropped in support of Yemeni Republican forces provided a front row seat for Israel. That was motivated by its already heightened concern over the use of gas arising from the murders of Six Million European Jews at Nazi death factories like Auschwitz-Berkinau during the Holocaust in WWII…

‘Terrorism is one line of inquiry in relation to this matter. It is early days,’ Mr Crisp told reporters on Monday night.

‘We are extremely concerned about terrorism. Whenever there is any incident overseas it causes us to question what major events we have running … we are very attuned to the threat of terrorism here in Melbourne.’

Bavarian Study: Migrants Are Largely Patriarchal, Anti-Sementic and Religious

A new study of over 800 migrants in Bavaria shows a diversity of opinions and education among asylum seekers of different origins but a troubling trend of anti-Semitism and even some who see no problems with religious violence.

The study of migrants from various countries was conducted by the Hanns Seidel Foundation in 2016 but has only just been released this week. The researchers spoke with 800 migrants in asylum homes across Bavaria and found large differences in education by country but found their attitudes toward women and Jews problematic, Oberbayerische Volksblatt reports.

Czechs Halt Taking Migrants From Italy, Greece Under EU Relocation Scheme

PRAGUE (Reuters) — The Czech Republic will halt taking in migrants under an EU scheme to share asylum seekers who arrived in Greece and Italy, citing security concerns, the government agreed on Monday.

Under a plan agreed in 2015, the European Commission wants EU member states to each admit a quota from a total of 160,000 asylum seekers stuck in the two Mediterranean countries. Most have fled conflicts and poverty in the Middle East and Africa.

But several EU members including the Czech Republic have protested the decision and some have refused to take in any people under the scheme.

Germany: 62yo Woman Fined 1,350 Euros for Sharing Anti-Migrant Joke on Facebook

German thought police punished an elderly woman

German thought police punished an elderly woman with a 1,350 euros fine for sharing and “liking” a comedic anti-migrant meme on Facebook.

– From Breitbart:

A 62-year-old German woman has been fined 1,350 euros by the government after she shared and liked an anti-migrant joke picture on her Facebook page.

The 62-year-old Berlin resident Jutta B. from Lichtenberg was arrested and had her home raided by police after she shared a picture on Facebook entitled, “Do you have anything against refugees?” For sharing the picture, which included disparaging comments about migrants, the woman was sentenced to a 1,350 euro fine, German newspaper Berliner Morgenpost reports.

Since her arrest and subsequent fine, Facebook has banned Jutta’s account. In court, she claimed she had liked and shared the picture in question without fully reading the content. “I like to pass on funny things”, she told the court.

The prosecution referred to her actions as “an utterance capable of inciting hatred and denigration of the human dignity of others”.

The picture, which asked “Do you have anything against refugees?” had a number of answers including “Yes, machine guns and hand grenades”, was viewed and shared by a further 500 people, including one who reported the 62-year-old to the police.

In reaction, other Facebook users sent the pensioner abusive messages. The left-wing extremist group Anti-Fascist Action, or Antifa, sent the woman death threats. Antifa has a large presence in Berlin in what are called “autonomous communities” where they illegally squat in buildings and often riot and fight with police.

If you ever wondered why Germans are not more critical of this migrant invasion, look no further.

Poland: Refusing to Import Muslims is Only Proven Counter-Terror Method

The only way to protect Poland from Islamic terror attacks is to not allow Muslims to migrate en masse, a British-born, senior MEP for the nation’s ruling party said on Monday. “When it comes to reducing the chances of Poland being hit by [Islamist] terror attacks, the only proven method is to not allow in Muslim migrants,” Ryszard Czarnecki told local radio after an attack in London on Saturday killed seven and injured at least 48 others.

Noting the children of Islamic immigrants have been responsible for a large number of ISIS-inspired attacks on European soil, the London-born Law and Justice (PiS) MEP said Poland is “learning from the mistakes” of other nations in the West, and so refuses to “open [its] doors to Islamic migrants.”

Asked whether he thinks the politicians running Poland have any good advice on how to avoid terrorism for Britain, which has experienced three Jihadist attacks in three months, and other countries in Western Europe, Czarnecki said the country has “a very specific concept — no Islamic immigrants.”

8 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 6/5/2017

  1. I guess I’ll be on another round of brow-beating a few more people about reading Diana West if they want to understand a few things; and THE BLACK BOOK OF COMMUNISM, and … [you know the rest.]

  2. So some (very) few people are still intelligent enough to realize that Muslim is or are the problem. We should be shipping them back to their home countries, where they will be happy and comfortable. Why aren’t we doing that? This all happened before but nobody knows history these days. Check it out — the original Gates of Vienna, people. They were defeated then but it looks like nobody has the manly equipment to defeat them again and that is what is desperately needed now. They MUST be returned to their home territory — they are a terrible threat to western civilization and I’m not talking about lesbians or free sex or anything like that — I am talking about FREEDOM! Freedom to think your own thoughts, make your own decisions within the law and such like that — this can’t be too hard to understand, can it?

    Of course so few people are Christians anymore that they do not see the real reason why we have to beat the muslims back to their home country. The muslim religion is so diametrically opposed to Christianity there is no possible way to NOT oppose it. Part of the problem is that so many people are no longer really Christians, the other problem is that so many people really don’t care — not until it hits them in the face but by then it will be too late.

    You have been warned. A people who cannot or will not defend themselves do not deserve to live, as someone in history said. I’m sorry, I don’t remember who said it but he was a wise man.

  3. I, of course, have no idea on the details of what happened in Australia, but be wary of media reports possibly downplaying specifics in such occurrences. There was a jail inmate being treated at a hospital in our area who managed to get the guard’s firearm and take a nurse hostage. The hostage was freed and the media reported her as “unharmed.” Only later when the news cycle moved on did it come out that she was reapeatedly raped

    • The hostage was apparently an escort, and the perp organised a rendez-vous with her at the serviced apartment block. She has remained anonymous (possibly because she prefers it that way) and details of what transpired between her and the perp are scanty, to say the least. The Islamic State has been telling Muslims that they should lure infidels into danger and hostage situations by such things as gumtree advertisements of goods for sale and offers of flats to rent. Apparently this one thought that hiring an escort for the evening was another way of catching an unsuspecting infidel unawares.

  4. A 62-year-old German woman has been fined 1,350 euros by the government after she shared and liked an anti-migrant joke picture on her Facebook page.

    The left-wing extremist group Anti-Fascist Action, or Antifa, sent the woman death threats.

    There is obviously a new Roland Freisler in the German justice ministry…..

  5. The 900 people in Notre Dame were made to stay with their hands in the air while Paris police investigated the attempted hammer attack outside today

    Guess we have come to the point where everyone is treated like a criminal

      • Excellent point Bill Robbins.The Human Rights Act is designed to protect and enlarge and add to the rights of terrorists and criminals and to take away the rights of their innocent victims.
