Exclusive: FBI Confirms Jihadi Training Camps in America

Newly-released FBI documents obtained by Clarion Project confirm Clarion’s reports that Jamaat ul-Fuqra is training members in isolated communes across America and Canada.

The group’s “Islamberg” headquarters in upstate New York is its most well-known “Islamic village.”

Fuqra, which now goes by the name of the Muslims of the Americas (MOA) among other titles, is a cultish Islamist group with a history of crime and terrorism. The group is led by Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani in Pakistan.

George Soros Hates Trump and Bitcoin. Why?

In his recent speech at Davos, the infamous billionaire George Soros lashed out at Donald Trump and Bitcoin. Maybe, he hates them both because Bitcoin is the “Donald Trump of currencies.”

Although the annual World Economic Forum at Davos is almost universally considered a snoozefest for the world’s wealthy elite, it does have some public utility. For instance, it is useful to know what trends and which people are deemed to be dangerous by the global financial and political elite.

Surprisingly, the globalists who gather at Davos are often quite candid about their fears and their hate towards politicians, who refuse to implement their political and economic agenda. George Soros, whose name is synonymous with globalism, spoke at length about his likes, dislikes and fears. Let’s have a look inside the mind of the influential American oligarch.

Gunman Who Pledged ISIS Allegiance Convicted in 2016 Shooting of Philly Cop

After less than three hours of deliberations, a city jury Thursday convicted the Delaware County man accused of firing 13 shots at a Philadelphia police officer two years ago in an ISIS-inspired ambush attack.

The jury of nine women and three men found Edward Archer, 32, guilty of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and related crimes for shooting Police Officer Jesse Hartnett in West Philadelphia in January 2016, an incident that shocked the city and drew international attention for its purported terrorism link.

Dutch Ban on Foreign Funding for Political Purposes Would Hit Far-Right PVV

The Dutch government wants to ban foreign funding for political parties to prevent outside interference in domestic politics, Interior Minister Kajsa Ollongren announced Thursday.

Ollongren came up with the proposal following a government committee’s report into financing and transparency. If approved, the plans would likely hit the left-wing Socialist Party (SP) and the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) particularly hard. Both receive large sums of money from outside the Netherlands, according to their official accounts.

EC Worried About Use of Vaccines in Election Campaign

Anti-vaccination positions led to lower coverage — Andriukaitis

(ANSA) — Brussels, January 31 — European Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukatis said Wednesday that he was “very worried” that some Italian parties were using “public health issues” such as vaccinations in the election campaign. He added that the Italian government’s recent decision to make vaccinations obligatory for school admission was “in line with the WHO and science…to protect children and people’s health”. Luigi Di Maio, the leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), has said he wants to revise the vaccinations law while League leader Matteo Salvini pledged to scrap it.

Andriukatis added the spread of anti-vaccination positions was dangerous. “People must understand that these vaccines work,” he said.

“I have a clear message for those against vaccines — you are responsible if the number of people vaccinated falls.

“This trend is very dangerous for our society and for people’s lives”.

Interpol Suspects 50 ISIS Fighters Landed in Italy — Report

Guardian says list sent to interior ministry in Rome

(ANSA) — London, January 31 — Interpol has sent a list of 50 Tunisians who are suspected ISIS fighters and are thought to have landed in Italy via boat to the interior ministry in Rome, the Guardian reported on Wednesday. The British newspaper said it has seen the list, reporting that it was sent to the interior ministry on 29 November and subsequently distributed to national anti-terrorism agencies across Europe.

Some of the suspects were identified by officials when they landed in Italy, the Guardian said, adding that the document shows their first names, surnames and dates of births.

The suspects may be attempting to reach other European countries, it reported.

Italy: Amazon ‘Planning Electronic Bracelets to Track Workers’

Geekwire report causes uproar in Italy

(ANSA) — Rome, February 1 — Amazon is planning to use electronic bracelets to keep tabs on workers and optimise their performance, Geekwire said Thursday.

The news caused an uproar despite a lack of confirmation from the online retail giant.

Susanna Camusso, head of Italy’s biggest and most leftwing union CGIL, said the news “comments itself”.

UIL union chief Carmelo Barbagallo called it a “disgrace”.

CISL union head Annamria Furlan said “work shoudl respect the dignity of people, not this”.

Giorgia Meloni, leader of the rightist Brothers of Italy party, said it would turn workers into “slaves”.

Amazon’s Italian workers are already up in arms about conditions and struck on Black Friday.

Italy: I Won’t be in Other Govt if Centre Right Loses — Salvini

Casini centre-left candidate ‘only result’ of banking probe

(ANSA) — Rome, January 31 — Matteo Salvini, leader of the Euroskeptic, anti-migrant League, said Wednesday he would “never” join another government if the centre-right alliance with Silvio Berlusconi doesn’t win the March 4 general election.

There has been speculation that Berlusconi’s centre-right Forza Italia party might be part of a grand coalition government after the election, which is set to produce a hung parliament according to all opinion polls.

Salvini added that the “only result” of a parliamentary commission of inquiry into Italy’s banking crises had been the candidacy of centrist Pier Ferdinando Casini, the commission chair, for a centre-left alliance led by the Democratic Party (PD).

Italy: We’re Not Populists: M5S Di Maio Tells London Investors

Premier candidate says getting positive feedback

(ANSA) — London, January 31 — 5-Star Movement (M5S) premier candidate Luigi Di Maio told ANSA on Wednesday that his message to international investors during his current visit to London is that: “we are not populists, we have a clear programme and the desire to be in government to change Italy”.

He added that he has had “excellent feedback” about the M5S programme.

“We are telling (the investors in the City) about our economic programme and our team of highly competent people on the candidate lists, from the worlds of higher education, research, business — they already knew many of them,” he said.

The M5S is currently the top single party in the opinion polls ahead of the March 4 election although there is uncertainly about whether any group or coalition will win a working majority in parliament.

Italy: Amsterdam EMA Reality Not in Line With Bid — Government

Confident ECJ will deem assignation ‘invalid’

(ANSA) — Rome, January 31 — The reality of Amsterdam’s readiness to host the European Medicines Agency (EMA) does not correspond to what it said in its bid, the Italian government says in its appeal to the European Court of Justice aiming to have the agency re-assigned to Milan, a copy of the appeal obtained by ANSA says.

The document is based on a single reason for appeal, that is, misleading the EU on how ready the Dutch city was to receive the agency.

Italy has appealed after EMA chief Guido Rasi called a stopgap solution proposed by Amsterdam, which would halve the office space compared to its current London seat, “not optimal”.

EMA is moving from the British capital after Brexit.

In its appeal, the Italian government asked the ECJ to use its investigative powers.

It said the court “will certainly be able to ascertain, in greater detail, what the situation effectively is”.

The government voiced the hope that this probe would end in only one conclusion: “the invalidity of the assignation to Amsterdam”.

Milan lost out to Amsterdam in a tie-break lottery at the end of voting by the EU-27 last November.

Among his posts were phrases such as “The end of the infidels is approaching with giant steps,” while he mocked IS victims, and described those who carried out 2017 terrorist attacks in London and Barcelona as “heroes”.

UK: Watch: Tommy Robinson Tracks Down Muslim Who Threatened to Kill His Family After Police Fail to Act

Rebel Media correspondent and former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson was forced to take his family’s defence into his own hands this week following a litany of threats against his children, wife, and mother.

Robinson, 35, was subjected to streams of abuse, harassment, and violent threats after a court was reportedly misled into believing he exchanged direct Twitter messages with Finsbury Park mosque terrorist Darren Osborne. Britain’s media then spread the fake news story with no regard for Robinson or his family’s safety.

Following multiple threats in messages and in video, Robinson reported the matters to the police, who insisted they had officers working on the case. But the Rebel Media correspondent soon found out that Britain’s police were scarcely interested in the matter.

“So that we would not arrive here”.

A Promising Year

by Srdja Trifkovic

On this month’s form, 2018 will be an interesting year. So far it has brought rich rewards to us world affairs aficionados. The overall global tempo is accelerating, affrettando, like de Falla’s Danza Ritual del Fuego. What would have been considered bizarre if not outright insane but a few years ago is now commonplace.

Take North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s New Year’s Day address to the nation. He warned the U.S. not to test him while he was striking a softer tone with South Korea: “The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons, a nuclear button is always on my desk. This is reality, not a threat.” The following day (January 2), President Donald Trump responded by asking “someone from his depleted and food starved regime, please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!” That was true enough, but (quite apart from Trump’s infantile tone or unsubtle Freudian connotations) young Kim should be pleased that POTUS now takes him seriously enough to respond promptly and personally.

The denizens of Seoul did not think it funny that Trump was tweeting about nuclear exchange with North Korea as if it were a PlayStation game. They know they’d pay the price, probably some 300,000 dead civilians on Day One, on our own experts’ reckoning, and growing to 1.5 million dead overall if the U.S. actually nuked Pyongyang. South Korean officials are now worried that the U.S. may be actively preparing for military action against North Korea. They are aware that even a limited, “preventive attack”—which is advocated by some hawks in the Trump administration—could trigger off a massive response from the North and ignite a new war on the Korean Peninsula…

Italy: Nigerian Charged With Murdering Dismembered Teen

Woman’s body was found in two suitcases

(ANSA) — Macerata, February 1 — Nigerian national Innocent Oseghale has been charged with the murder of Pamela Mastropietro, an 18-year-old whose dismembered body was found Wednesday in two suitcases dumped in the countryside outside Pollenza near Macerata in Marche, sources said Thursday.

Oseghale, 29, has also been charged with disposing of a body, judicial sources said Thursday.

Oseghale appeared “confused and not very clear” during questioning in which he denied the charges Thursday, judicial sources said. Oseghale continued to deny the charges and tried to accuse two other people who police have cleared, the sources said.

An autopsy on the body failed to establish cause of death Thursday, medical sources said.

The relatives of Mastropietro said Thursday they were “distraught”. They said “we hope justice is swiftly done for the author or authors of this atrocious crime: they are ferocious beasts”.

Carabinieri forensic police found bloodstained clothes belonging to the victim and other blood traces at the suspect’s home, sources said.

They also found a receipt from a nearby pharmacy where the victim had bought a syringe, they added.

The woman had voluntarily left a drug rehab centre at nearby Corridonia on January 29.

Oseghale has a record for drugs offences, police said.

He was pinned down by CCTV footage of the area where the suitcases were dumped, and by a foreign national who said he saw him carrying the suitcases there.

Mastropietro is believed to have been killed on the morning of January 30, police said.

Exporting Canada’s Model of Multiculturalism = Ethnocide of European Peoples

W e hear everyday that multiculturalism is the uniquely defining characteristic of Canada. The natives of England, France, Sweden, America, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain are now hearing the same. Every Western nation is uniquely multicultural. But there is no denying that Canada’s globalist elites have been unique promoters of the idea that Canada has a uniquely successful multicultural model that should be adopted by all Western nations.

Since about the 1990s, Canada’s elites took it upon themselves to advertise the nation as a “successful model of multiculturalism.” They knew that a momentum was building up in the West for mass immigration, cheaper labour, along with globalism generally. They saw an opportunity to showcase Canada’s initiation of “official” multiculturalism. Thousands of government officials, together with hundreds of simple minded academics, hopped from European country to European country, from conference to conference, ceremoniously insisting that Canada was a proven case that “immigrants help society grow culturally, economically and politically, and that “cultural appreciation of ethnic and religious diversity” is essential for the fulfilment of liberal principles and the creation of a harmonious state.

The strategy was simple: first call your nation uniquely multicultural, then rewrite Canada’s history as a nation created by immigrants from diverse places, and then portray the legal enactment of multiculturalism as a recognition of this historical fact. Never mind that for most of its history Canada was a nation created from the ground up by native Europeans with a high fertility rate. There was really only one short period — from 1901 to 1914 — when Canada saw high numbers of immigrants (and these were mostly from Europe and from the United States). During much of its history, many of the immigrants actually emigrated to the United States. The notion that Canada is a nation of immigrants is simply a lie to justify an experiment of “major proportions” implemented in the 1970s to re-create a Canada according to the dictates of cultural Marxism…

Images of Jesus and Mary Can be Used in Ads — Strasbourg

Condemns Slovenia for fining firm

(ANSA) — Strasbourg, January 30 — Images of Jesus and Mary can be used in advertisements, the European Court of Human Rights said Tuesday. The ECHR condemned Lithuania for fining a firm that used Jesus and Mary on posters and on the Internet to sell suits. According to the judges, the fine issued for “offending public morals” violated the company’s right to free expression.

The company used the photo of a tattooed, jeans-wearing man and a white-dressed woman in a pearl necklace with haloes, captioned “Jesus, what pants!”, “Dear Mary, what a dress!”, and Jesus and Mary, what are you wearing!”.

The ads sparked a series of protests to the national agency for the defence of consumer rights, which fined the company 580 euros for not respecting religion.

  1. Andriukatis added the spread of anti-vaccination positions was dangerous. “People must understand that these vaccines work,” he said. “I have a clear message for those against vaccines — you are responsible if the number of people vaccinated falls.”

    Good, I’m glad I could help 😉

    I mean – don’t you just hate it when all the pharma lobby do is to scaremonger you into injecting yourself with “something”?

    I’m all for science, but that would mean you pro-vaccine people have to come up with real life studies, statistical comparisons between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, proofs that each and every particular vaccine works, etc.

    The problem is – all you scaremongers do is to shout “If you are against vaccines, you are against science!” As if it was my problem that you don’t come up with good understandable science?

    PS: I worked in animal vaccination. Out of 17 vaccines we had available, only about two or three really worked, 5 were useless, and the remaining 10 were some junk mixed with growth hormones – officially classified as “vaccines”. After I have seen what the pharma industry does in livestock industries, I don’t believe it is any better for the “human livestock”, and I really don’t trust them.

    • Barn Swallow-

      The fearmongering tactics around the flu vaccine is a tip off that there are no good reasons to get it.

      Heck, I recently learned this for myself the hard way. I felt fine early this January. I was at my PCP for another issue, and they offered me my flu shot. Normally I decline, but mother has been on my case about this, and I hate lying to mom so I caved in.

      Well, I stopped feeling fine the day after receiving the shot. I felt like hot garbage for over a week as my body responded to the ‘vaccine’. Have felt fine since my system processed whatever crud they injected me with.

        • It’s a difficult call. I was diagnosed in 2010 with a rare auto-immune disease, Small Vessel Vasculitis (though I’d probably had it for some years); it’s probably related to arthritis, but (usually) attacks the vascular system rather than the joints.

          I was put on steroids for a while, and still have to take immuno-suppressants (Azathioprine); about five years ago, I had such an aggressive attack of ‘flu I was admitted to hospital for a week. Should I continue to take the free ‘flu jab each autumn?

          • Well, I’d offer you some links on the supplements that help auto-immune diseases, but that’s a subject you need to research yourself.

            RE the ‘flu jab: this year’s version covers only 10% of the viruses on offer by the air every time you venture forth. Australia was hit hard last winter and many are advising “don’t bother”. We never get them – our lack of faith in their efficacy would negatively affect their benefit to us 😉

  2. “…… German domestic intelligence officials warned that women and children returning to Germany from the Islamic State pose a grave security threat” but still they’re being let in and then allowed, I presume, to wander around at will.

    This situation must be changed. Permanent internment for people who’ve proven they do not belong in Germany is the viable answer , isn’t it? Lock them up. Nothing else makes sense.

  3. Amazing that a Leftist like Merkel is described as a “conservative”. The Big Lie works!

  4. Do you have a front door to enter your home? Do you happen to lock this front door? Wait, there is more: do you have a fence round your garden and a gate in it?
    If the answers to these critical questions are YES, then you are a triple homo- and islamophobe, a racist and everything that goes with it. Instead of building a bridge to enter your home, you deliberately had walls and doors built, not to mention the gate.

    • Maca-

      You kid, but we are living in scary times.

      There are elements on the left that seriously argue that it is a “hate crime” for heterosexual men to reject propositions by trans and homosexuals.

      I see things like this and have to wonder if we are living in the End Times.

  5. https://echo.msk.ru/blog/partofair/2139974-echo/

    Based on indirect links and information stuffing, soon in Russia we will have an interesting action begin.

    There was a lot of negative information about Chechnya, which until recently was banned – only positive. Kadyrov activates the connection with the Saudis, the Emirates and Qatar. An interview on the radio station, Echo of Moscow, with the Minister of information of the Chechen Republic. A month ago it would be unthinkable.

    I hope the online translator will make the information available.

  6. Recently there was a resonant case, which many newspapers and migrants and Muslims wrote in social networks: a Tajik saved a woman from a sinking car.
    Russian people collected a lot of money for his treatment – he very much caught a cold in the icy water.

    (If there are difficulties of translation:«смотрящий» – “looking” means criminal authority.)

    But it soon became clear that the Tajik did not save anyone, and she was rescued by two Russian men. Tajik decided to settle down to someone else’s feat.

  7. In the meantime, French interior minister Collomb is preparing to visit the Calais jungle. He is just looking for a white flag, he hopes to conclude the surrender negotiations by the end of the weekend.

  8. In other news, German domestic intelligence officials warned that women and children returning to Germany from the Islamic State pose a grave security threat.

    Another blinding glimpse of the obvious. Thankyouverymuch.
