North Korea test-launched another intercontinental ballistic missile today. The rocket landed in the sea off Japan, inside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. This reportedly gives the Hermit Kingdom the ability to hit Washington D.C. and most of the rest of the United States with nuclear-tipped missiles.
In other news, Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said that Europe needs African immigrants, and will be “lost” if they don’t come.

The Problem Isn’t Populism: The Problem is the Status Quo Has Failed
The top 5% who have benefited so immensely from the consolidation of wealth and power cannot confess the status quo has failed the bottom 95%.
The corporate/billionaires’ media would have us believe that the crisis we face is populism, a code word for every ugly manifestation of fascism known to humanity. By invoking populism as the cause of our distemper, the mainstream media is implicitly suggesting that the problem is “bad people” — those whose own failings manifest in an attraction to fascism. If we can successfully marginalize these troubled troglodytes, then our problem, populism, would go away and the wonderfulness, equality and widespread prosperity of pre-populist America will be restored.
The problem isn’t populism — the problem is the status quo has failed 95% of the populace. Life isn’t wonderful, prosperous and filled with expansive equality except in the Protected Elite of the top 5% of technocrats, corporate executives, tenured academics, bureaucrats, financiers, bankers, lobbyists and wealthy (or soon to be wealthy) politicos.
The bottom 95% need a time machine to recover any semblance of prosperity. They need a time machine that goes back 20 years so they can buy a little bungalow on a postage-stamp lot for $150,000 on the Left and Right Coasts, because now the little bungalows cost $1 million and up.
Housing valuations have become so detached from what people earn that even the top 5% has trouble qualifying for a jumbo mortgage without the help of the Bank of Mom and Dad or the family trust fund.
The bottom 95% need a time machine to return to the days when college tuition and fees were semi-affordable — say, 30 years ago.
The bottom 95% also need a time machine to return to a time when they could afford healthcare insurance without government subsidies — a generation ago, or better yet, two generations ago.
In an age where phantom wealth sprouts like poisoned mushrooms from speculative bubbles, the bottom 95% need a time machine that goes back 8 years so they buy the S&P 500 at 670, or better yet, buy bitcoin for $1 or $10, just to make up the loss in the purchasing power of their wages.
Populism is the dismissive propaganda term that the media uses to distract us from the real cause of our problems: the total failure of the status quo, the corrupt, predatory, exploitive, inefficient, rentier pay-to-play-”democracy” cartel-state hierarchy that has failed the bottom 95%.

Benghazi Suspect Convicted on Three Lesser Counts, Does Not Face Death Penalty
A federal jury found Ahmed Abu Khattala guilty on just three of 18 charges related to the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, precluding him from facing the death penalty.
Khattala was found guilty of conspiracy to provide material support to the attackers, destroying U.S. property and placing lives in danger, and using a firearm during the attack. He faces up to 45 years in prison if given the maximum sentence on all charges.

Blowback: CNN Pushes Effort to “Ban the Term ‘Fake News’“
CNN is now pushing an effort to “ban the term fake news” after the slogan became synonymous with CNN itself thanks to President Donald Trump.
In a CNN opinion piece written by Hossein Derakhshan and Claire Wardle, who are affiliated with the globalist Council of Europe, the authors argue that the term “fake news” has “become meaningless” and lost its power because politicians (primarily Donald Trump) have hijacked it as a way to “undermine” the media establishment.
The authors decry the fact that many people now believe the mainstream media peddles “fabricated stories” and that information monopolies are being challenged by the ability for “anyone in the world” to have a platform.
Remember when the mainstream media & the Hillary campaign invented the term “fake news” in an effort to discredit alternative & right of center media outlets?
Yeah, that went well. pic.twitter.com/HJPpIQEr4j
-— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) November 27, 2017
Complaining that “less powerful agents can harm large institutions or established individuals,” Derakhshan and Wardle warn that trust in institutions is declining and that only through intervention at the level of “public education” (ie indoctrination) can this be reversed.
Of course, the real reason media elites want to clamp down on the term “fake news” is because its original intention, to smear and discredit opponents of Hillary Clinton, right of center media outlets, and people who distrust the mainstream media, has completely backfired.

Have we entered a time when justice will begin to prevail in America? For decades, celebrities, politicians and those in other positions of power have been engaging in very serious sexual misconduct, and victims have felt powerless to do anything about it. But now thanks to Harvey Weinstein, the dam appears to be breaking and all of a sudden a flood of allegations is coming out. On Monday, we learned of brand new accusations against Bill Clinton, Al Franken, Charlie Rose and New York Times journalist Glenn Thrush.
Let’s start with Thrush, because many find his case to be the most ironic. The New York Times is supposed to be a paragon of political correctness, and yet it is being alleged that one of their most highly decorated reporters has been sexually harassing women for a very long time…

As comic Keith Lowell Jensen remarked on Twitter a few years ago, “What Orwell failed to predict is that we’d buy the cameras ourselves, and that our biggest fear would be that nobody was watching.” By appealing to our basic human need for connection, to vanity, the desire for recognition, and the seemingly instinctual drive for convenience, technology companies have persuaded millions of people to actively surveille themselves and each other. They incessantly gather our data, as Tim Wu shows in The Attention Merchants, and as a byproduct have provided access to our private spaces to government agents and who-knows-who-else.
Computers, smartphones, and “smart” devices can nearly all be hacked or commandeered. Former director of national intelligence James Clapper reported as much last year, telling the U.S. Senate that intelligence agencies might make extended use of consumer devices for government surveillance. Webcams and “other internet-connected cameras,” writes Eric Limer at Popular Mechanics, “such as security cams and high-tech baby monitors, are… notoriously insecure.” James Comey and Mark Zuckerberg both cover the cameras on their computers with tape.

Police Release Photo, Video of Galleria Shooting Suspect
TOWN OF WALLKILL — Wallkill town police have released images of a man who they say fired a gun into the floor Sunday at the Galleria at Crystal Run.
Fragments from the bullet or floor injured a Goshen woman and her 12-year-old son. The shot caused the evacuation and closure of the mall on the busy post-Black Friday weekend.
The shot was fired at 3:06 p.m. Sunday into the floor outside the American Eagle store on the mall’s upper level, police said.
Police said the man was with a woman, an infant and a child who appeared to be about 3 years old, and that they left the mall via the exit near the Fuji restaurant.
In a news conference on Tuesday afternoon, Wallkill police Chief Robert Hertman showed four videos showing the man and woman entering the mall with two small children at 3:02 p.m.
The video shows the pair stopping as the man puts a baby into a stroller, arranging a blanket, and heading into the mall.
Another camera from inside a store shows people reacting to the shot, and then the suspect and the woman walking past the store. The last camera shows the man and woman walking quickly, exiting the mall.
“It’s the male that fired the shot. The female is a person of interest,” Hertman said. “We consider her a witness at this point.”…

Ontario Government Still Failing to Address Out of Control Electricity Bills at Hospitals
Documents obtained by the CTF through Freedom of Information requests and released over the course of several months have revealed steep increases to the cost of electricity at Ontario hospitals, despite declining electricity usage.
For example, electricity bills at William Osler Health in Brampton are up $4.3 million, nearly 126 per cent, over the past five years. North Bay Regional Health has seen an increase of 19 per cent since 2012, even though consumption has fallen, and similarly, Brockville General saw a 48 per cent increase over five years, even though their consumption also fell.
On Monday November 27, the government announced that it would be spending $64 million this year to improve energy efficiency in hospitals.
“It’s obvious from today’s announcement that the Wynne government has been paying attention to our campaign, which has highlighted how their failed electricity policies have added a new burden of spiraling electricity bills to hospitals across Ontario. Unfortunately, today’s announcement misses the point,” said CTF Ontario Director, Christine Van Geyn.
[Comment: Ontario Liberal’s “greeen policies” are responsible for the massive increases in electricity costs.]

Armed Police to Escort Joggers in Swedish City for Protection
Residents of the Swedish city of Oskarshamn will now have the option to be accompanied by armed police officers while out jogging.
Oskarshamn police inspector Peter Karlsson said the programme was designed to ease the insecurities of those who wish to go jogging after dark. Karlsson, who came up with the idea for the programme, said police would form jogging groups and all those who were interested in joining the officers were welcome, SVT reports.
“We will adjust the pace entirely to those who come,” Karlsson said, noting the officers would jog as well as walk with residents who wanted to join…
The issue is particularly bad in troubled heavily migrant-populated suburbs which are often labelled no-go zones. A survey conducted by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) claimed that around half of the residents of problem areas were too afraid to leave their homes in the evenings.

EU to Spend Millions to Stop ‘Fake News’ Spreading From Eurosceptics
THE EUROPEAN Union is set to spend millions on monitoring fake news to stop “eurosceptic politicians” spreading disinformation, it has been revealed.
The bloc have become increasingly concerned over disinformation campaigns spreading from Russia and into the public consciousness.
Now EU officials are set to inject £3.3million (€3.8million) into strategic communications monitoring — including £976,000 (€1.1million) for spotting fake news.
Centre-right MEP Siegfried Muresan, who is spearheading the scheme, said: “We need to be able to connect the dots.
“If a eurosceptic politician is saying something and we see that these were actually talking points on fake news websites two weeks earlier, then we need to be aware of that.”

ISIS Could Use Drones to Spread Deadly Viruses, Top Terror Chief Warns
Radical Islamist extremists inspired by the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) or Al-Qaeda could use drones to spread biological agents, Europe’s top counterterrorism chief has said.
ISIS militants previously used drones in their battle to hold on to the eastern Syrian city of Raqqa and the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, particularly for surveillance; the group used the devices to spot enemy positions and drop explosives on enemy forces.
Gilles de Kerchove, the European Union’s counterterrorism coordinator, warned that homegrown jihadis could use drones in Europe to drop biological weapons on crowded public spaces.

U.K. Begins Another Gun Surrender Initiative Amid Increase in Gun Crime
Gun crime rises in England despite gun bans.
The United Kingdom’s National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS) is conducting a new gun surrender program from Nov. 13 to Nov. 26 after gun crime in England and Wales increased by more than a quarter in the past year.
The Office for National Statistics found a 27 percent increase in crimes involving firearms during its most recent review of crime data. Despite a near ban on the civilian ownership of handguns the review found crimes committed with handguns increased by 25 percent and accounted for the majority of gun crimes. The agency said the increases in 2016 were part of a multiyear trend.
“The latest rise continues an upward trend seen in firearms offences in the last few years, however, offences are still 31 percent below a decade ago,” the most recent annual report from the agency said. “Over the last year, over two-thirds (32 of the 439) of police forces recorded a rise in offences involving firearms.”

Believers say it is the tomb where Jesus was buried and rose to heaven.
Now, for the first time, experts appear to have confirmed at least one element of the Christian narrative of its history.
Researchers sampled mortar taken from between the original limestone surface of the burial bed, where religious followers say Christ was laid to rest, and a marble slab that covers it.
They believe the marble dates to around 345 AD, which ties in to historical accounts that the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine, ordered the tomb be enshrined in a new church.
Constantine took this decision after his envoys discovered the tomb beneath an older temple, dedicated to the goddess Venus, in around 326 AD.

I have never met anyone who really gives a genuine damn about Palestinian Arabs unless it is linked with an umbilical cord to hatred of Israel.
The two are so welded together that you have to think what came first — the Palestinian chicken or the Israeli egg.
Those that adopt a Palestinian cause use it as a club to beat Israel. Show me anyone who loves the Palestinian Arabs without hating Israel.
Their professed love of Palestinians is selective. They only love them if Israel is lurking somewhere in their narrative.
They don’t love them sufficiently when Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait and others abuse and kill Arabs who claim to be Palestinian. Then they go silent. I wonder why.
No BDS campaigns against Egypt for their blockade on Gaza. No pro-Palestinian protests outside Syrian embassies for their wholesale slaughter of Syrian-based Palestinians. BDS has nothing to say about Apartheid-Jordan that has kept Palestinian Arabs in refugee status for 70 years, since 1948.
Even worse, they are silent against the Palestinian Authority that maintains refugee camps in the territories that they control and administer!
How can you still be a Palestinian refugee when you live under the control of the Palestinian Authority? […]
It is an exclusive despicere that goes against all reason and logic, and it shows itself in the falsehoods, the perversion of facts, history, and in the blood libels that Jews are so familiar after centuries of similar defamation.
For at the dark heart of this pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, venom is anti-Semitism.[…]

North Korean Missile Lands in Sea of Japan, Pentagon Says
North Korea on Tuesday fired a missile that traveled about 1,000 kilometers before crashing into the Sea of Japan, the Pentagon said in a statement.
The Department of Defense said that initial assessments indicated the missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM. In a news conference, Japan’s Defense minister also said it seemed to be an ICBM.
The missile went higher than any shot North Korea had previously taken, according to Defense Secretary James Mattis.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered an emergency meeting of Cabinet ministers following the launch, North Korea’s first since Sept. 15, when one flew over northern Japan and into the Pacific Ocean.
“A missile was launched from North Korea which appears to have landed within Japan’s exclusive economic zone,” Abe’s office tweeted. “As soon as new information comes in, we will let you know.”
The exclusive economic zone is a legal designation established by the United Nations Law of the Sea.
The South Korean military conducted a “precision missile-firing drill” as a response to the launch, a South Korean military official told NBC.

North Korea Latest Missile Launch a Global Threat — US
North Korea has fired its highest-ever intercontinental ballistic missile and poses a worldwide threat, US Secretary of Defence James Mattis has said.
Earlier the Pentagon said the missile had flown for about 1,000km (620 miles) before falling into the Sea of Japan.
The launch, early on Wednesday, is the latest in a series that have raised international tensions.
North Korea’s last ballistic missile launch was in September and came days after its sixth nuclear test.
Mr Mattis was speaking at the White House as he briefed President Donald Trump and senior officials on the missile launch.
He said the missile had gone higher than any previous launch, adding that the North was building “ballistic missiles that threaten anywhere in the world”.

North Korea Fires ICBM Into Japanese Waters
North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) around 1:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the first such launch from the rogue regime in more than two months, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News.
The missile, believed to be an ICBM by the Pentagon based on initial assessments, was launched from Sain Ni, North Korea and flew roughly 620 miles before landing in the Sea of Japan.
South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, which first reported the launch, said the missile launch happened around 3 a.m. local time in North Korea. South Korea fired pinpoint missiles into nearby waters to make sure North Korea understands it can be “taken under fire” by the South, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said.
North Korea has been working hard to perfect “re-entry” technology to one day have a warhead be able to survive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. This ICBM would be able to hit any city within the U.S. if a warhead is able to survive re-entry.

EU Official: Europe Has No Strategy for Impending Wave of African Immigration
Europe remains unprepared for a massive surge in immigration from Africa, according to a top European Union official.
Antonio Tajani, the president of the EU parliament, said overcrowding, poverty and war and will likely push “millions” of people from Africa to Europe in the coming decades. Ahead of the annual EU-Africa summit this week, Tajani called for improved coordination among EU members and a “Marshall Plan” for Africa to help stem the flow of migrants.
“Without a strategy we will have terrorism, illegal immigration, instability,” he said, according to Financial Times. “There are too many voices on Libya, on Africa.”
Immigration remains remains a potent issue in European politics, even as migrant flows have subsided from the height of the refugee crisis in 2015. Right-wing and immigration skeptic parties have enjoyed a surge in popularity in response to decisions by EU leaders, particularly German Chancellor Angela Merkel, to admit more than 1 million refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East since 2015.

EU President: Without Millions of African Migrants, Europe Will be Lost
Brussels is opening legal pathways for migrants “who want to come” says European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, declaring that Europe has a “clear need” for mass migration from Africa.
Speaking ahead of the EU-Africa summit this week, where leaders of EU and African nations will meet to discuss migration, he told Deusche Well that “if we don’t offer legal ways of emigrating to Europe, and immigrating within Europe, we will be lost.
“If those who come — who are, generally speaking, the poor and needy — are no longer able to enter the house of Europe through the front door, they’ll keep making their way in through the back windows.”
Claiming that the continent “will clearly need immigration in the coming decades”, he said EU nations “have to provide [Africans] who want to come, and are able to come, and whose situation makes it possible for them to come, with legal paths to get to Europe”.

Are ostensibly disparate events giving you pause? Have you ever wondered why genocidal globalists champion a seemingly contradictory set of causes? What’s the overarching purpose, for example, of supporting unfettered Muslim immigration on the one hand and promoting homophobia awareness by way of sports leagues on the other? How is it that the very same people who rail on about so-called “rape culture” on University campuses fall silent when the subject of Muslim grooming gangs systematically raping White women is raised? Although at first glance these issues may seem unrelated, these phenomena are, however, part of the very same program.
You most likely thought of that independently on your own, but may have wondered what the connection could be. The rank hypocrisy of the globalists is maddening, and yet they don’t seem to mind it at all. They’re nonplussed about turning themselves into veritable pretzels doing rhetorical backflips to justify everything. I know what the answer is, and you’ve instinctually known it all along. If you’re White and you’re reading this, you must realize that the reason, nay, the target, is you.
You are the lodestone. The laser beam of hatred and subversion slicing through the foundations of Western civilization has you in its crosshairs. It’s softening up targets that were once bastions of White cultural and institutional hegemony. Everything from the military to English Premier League football, once bastions of White manliness are being emasculated.
Once these preliminary emasculation salvos have softened their objective with withering fire, and Whites start to flee elsewhere, the replacements lumber in. White footballers, soldiers, and policemen are replaced outright. Those that remain are made to paint their nails and wear high heels in an obvious campaign of emasculation masquerading as high-minded moralizing. It’s a calculated subversive program. Its proponents could be blissfully unaware of the underlying hardened core of it, but they’re just useful idiots. The true architects behind the curtain know what they’re doing.
