Venezuela: Thanks to Hyperinflation, Eggs Aren’t Cheaper in This Country

Hyperinflation is the order of the day in socialist Venezuela, a country still trying to maintain a lavish welfare state despite the government’s clear inability to pay for it. “Prices here are doubling every few weeks,” reported the Wall Street Journal, “confounding cash-strapped Venezuelans who are scrambling to find a way to pay for basic transactions.”

Johns Hopkins University economics professor Steve Hanke told the Journal that Venezuela is now the 57th recorded instance of hyperinflation in history. “The International Monetary Fund estimates an economic contraction of 15%, which means that by the end of 2018 the economy will be half of what it was in 2013,” wrote the paper. “And inflation will hit 13,000%.”

Democrats and Liberal Media Depart From Reality Over FISA Memo

When the FISA memo was made public Friday after Democrats failed in their efforts to keep it from the American people, it immediately came under attack from those same Democrats and their comrades in the liberal mainstream media. After their claims that the memo would threaten national security were shown — by the memo’s release — to be false, they are now claiming that the memo shows the exact opposite of what it actually does.

The memo shows that, under the Obama administration, the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) abused the FISA process and misled the court to secure a FISA surveillance warrant of Trump associate Carter Page, leading to the creation of the Mueller probe. On Saturday, President Trump tweeted:

Eagles Credit ‘Binding Force’ Of Christian Faith for Super Bowl Win

Team’s ethos serves as antidote to NFL’s globalist poison

The Philadelphia Eagles set themselves apart from the rest of the NFL in more ways than one this season, not only by taking home the Lombardi Trophy, but also by having the largest contingent of openly Christian players and coaches.

Additionally, the Eagles were only one of eight teams to not have any players protest the national anthem by kneeling or sitting, according to a study by Sports Pundit — which may or may not be a result of exemplary team leadership.

At a time when the league is driving fans away in droves due to its embrace of leftist-globalist agendas, and for pandering to disrespectful demonstrations of anti-Americanism — while barring players from displaying memorials to victims of 9-11 or Dallas police officers massacred by a Black Lives Matter activist — the Eagles have quietly moved in a different direction.

In post-game ceremonies after winning the Super Bowl, head coach Doug Peterson gave glory to God and Jesus Christ (4:58 mark below), followed by star tight end Zach Ertz (6:00 mark), followed by game MVP Nick Foles (6:45 mark).

Steele Wrote Another Anti-Trump Memo, Fed Info by Clinton Contact

Report confirms some level of coordination between extended Clinton circle and Obama administration in effort to seek damaging information about then-candidate Trump

A newly released document from the Senate Judiciary Committee says Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump dossier, wrote an additional memo on the subject of Donald Trump and Russia that was not among those published by BuzzFeed in January 2017.

The newly released document is an unclassified and heavily redacted version of the criminal referral targeting Steele filed on Jan. 4 by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

It appears to confirm some level of coordination between the extended Clinton circle and the Obama administration in the effort to seek damaging information about then-candidate Trump.

According to the referral, Steele wrote the additional memo based on anti-Trump information that originated with a foreign source.

Texas Convert Warren Clark Sent ISIS His Resume, Report Says

When Texas resident Warren Clark wanted to join ISIS, he did what any other American job-hunter might do: He sent them his resume.

“I am looking to get a position teaching English to students in the Islamic State,” read the cover letter using the alias Abu Muhammad al-Ameriki.

“I was born and raised in the United States and have always loved teaching others and learning from others as well. My work background is largely in English and I consider working at the University of Mosul to be a great way of continuing my career.”

The FBI Scandal and FISA Memo: ‘It’s Worse Than Watergate’

Just to compare, according to History.com, the “Watergate scandal began early in the morning of June 17, 1972, when several burglars were arrested in the office of the Democratic National Committee, located in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, D.C. This was no ordinary robbery: The prowlers were connected to President Richard Nixon’s reelection campaign, and they had been caught wiretapping phones and stealing documents.”

Although this parallels the scenario that unfolded in 1972, it is different in one striking and extremely disturbing way. This scandal involves the FBI, who chose sides politically. As Bloomberg reports, the “memo says that the FBI presented an opposition research dossier as evidence to a secret court for warrants to spy on Page beginning in October 2016. The bureau did not tell the court that this dossier was paid for by the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign through cutouts. Senior officials at the bureau and the Justice Department knew all of this, but declined to tell the judge who approved the warrant, according to the memo.”…

Democrats also spent the week before the FISA memo’s release lying to the American people. They repeatedly claimed the “memo was full of ‘classified information’ and releasing it would expose ‘our spying methods,’“ as FrontPage Mag’s Daniel Greenfield put it. He then wryly opined, “By ‘our,’ they didn’t mean American spying methods. They meant Obama’s spying methods.” Greenfield later wrote that the “Clinton campaign had enlisted figures in the FBI and the DOJ to manipulate an election. The coup against America operated as a ‘state within a state’ inside the United States government.” Add in the fact that the mainstream media continued the lies to manipulate the minds of the public. All of this is turning out to be conspiracy fact, making the FISA abuse indeed far, far worse than Watergate.

“The mainstream media was exploited by the deep state to plant fake news,” Mike Adams declares. This scandal reaches far deeper than anyone could have ever imagined. “This is why the fake news media is a clear an present danger to America…and you’ve only begun to hear the surface of this [scandal].”

The True History of Fluoridation: Toxicity Was Hidden and Lied About by the Government

The true history of the fluoridation of water in the name of tooth decay prevention is coming out. As the mainstream media continues to lose its grip on the public’s throat with blatant and intentional fake news, the truth behind all of the lies touted are rising to the surface.

You’ve likely heard it before: “Just get the shot. Just take the medicine. It’s all in your best interest.” But some journalists are finally blowing holes in the government’s propaganda campaign and the media’s history of lying to us for profit. It isn’t just Mike Adams, the Health Ranger who has come out declaring the mainstream media nothing more than the propaganda arm of the deep state, but now John Rappaport is delivering evidence of the dishonesty behind the fluoridation campaign.

Joe Joseph, with The Daily Sheeple walks us through what Rappaport has repeatedly written about: the truth behind the fluoridation of our water.

In 1997, Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson, two respected mainstream journalists, peered into an abyss. They found a story about fluorides that was so chilling it had to be told.

The Christian Science Monitor, who had assigned the story, never published it.

Their ensuing article, “Fluoride, Teeth, and the Atomic Bomb,” has been posted on a number of websites.

Author Griffiths told me that researchers who study the effects of fluorides by homing in on communities with fluoridated drinking water, versus communities with unfluoridated water, miss a major point: studying the water is not enough; toxic fluorides are everywhere — they are used throughout the pharmaceutical industry in the manufacture of drugs, and also in many other industries (e.g., aluminum, pesticide). — John Rappaprot’s Blog

“Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists, who had been secretly ordered to provide ‘evidence useful in litigation’ [against persons who had been poisoned by fluoride and would sue for damages]… The first lawsuits against the US A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage, the [government] documents show,” said the Griffiths/Bryson report.

In order to stop lawsuits against damages done by the government with fluoride on unsuspecting Americans, a dishonesty campaign was set in full force. The government began lying to promote fluoride as a useful agent against tooth decay, even though it’s a powerful central nervous system damaging chemical.

[Comment: It is a drug administred to pacify the population and make them compliant — that is also why those serotonin inhibiter drugs contain flouride compound. Flouride does not “save their teeth” — ingesting flouride compounds does not magically transport it to your teeth. Historically, it was used to pacify inmates of insane asylums.]

T-Mobile US Let Hackers Nick My Phone Number, Drain My Crypto-Wallets, Cries Man Who Lost $20k

A bloke from Washington is suing T-Mobile USA after miscreants were able to steal his phone number and take all his crypto-coins.

Carlos Tapang this week told the US state’s western district court that the telco broke America’s Federal Communications Act when, in November of last year, it allowed strangers to get control of Tapang’s phone number and use it to take over his cryptocurrency wallets and drain thousands of dollars in digital money.

According to Tapang’s complaint [PDF], the raid occurred on November 7 last year when someone contacted T-Mob and asked the carrier to transfer his number to a device on AT&T’s network.

Rather than ask for a PIN to authorize the transfer, which Tapang claims he asked the telco to require as a safety precaution, T-Mobile staff simply signed ported the number as requested, letting AT&T assign the cell number to a device controlled by the criminals, it is alleged. From there, the thieves used the cell number to reset the password on Tapang’s online cryptocurrency account — which was linked to that number — and then take over its wallets and drain his funds.

In total, Tapang’s suit claims the pilfered currency amounted to 2.875 Bitcoins, worth approximately $20,350 at the time. The wallets held 1,000 OmiseGo (OMG) tokens, and 19.6 BitConnect coins, which were converted into BTC by the crooks, it is claimed. Someone checked and, yup, you can still hijack Gmail, Bitcoin wallets etc via dirty SS7 tricks READ MORE

Tapang does not appear to be the only person to have allegedly had a phone number stolen via a fraudulent port-out request. Enough victims have reported account thefts that T-Mob has set up a website to deal with the issue. Punters are told to set up a PIN to protect their numbers, but according to Tapang that safeguard is useless.

Because the biz failed to require the PIN and allowed the number to be transferred without any authentication, Tapang has accused the cell network of negligence, and therefore responsible for the hack.

U.S. Surveillance Grid is Crafted Nationally Toward Global Integration

Most of the time a headline is not enough, nor even a “wake-up” call from a Julian Assange or an Edward Snowden. Many times, the headlines or warnings are buried beneath a plethora of duplicitous distractions crafted by the Mainstream Media (MSM) that are tabloid in nature: sensationalism, not focused and objective reporting. But the passage of time tends to turn the conscientious into dullards and dim the memories until they are forgotten.

We all know how October 1, 2016, Obama turned over control of the Internet to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Do you know what their slogan is? “One World, One Internet.”

Using the “social needs” portion of the Hierarchy of Needs pyramid…to foster groupthink and group cooperation, all of American society (from birth to death) is precisely controlled and funneled into a system that will enable the docility of subjects (citizens, if you prefer) and their transition into the global governance and the New World Order (NWO).

Here is a statement made by an ICANN board member regarding the transition from U.S. government control to “stewardship” by a corporation that is supposedly an NPO (Non-Profit Organization). Take note of the language.

“This transition was envisioned 18 years ago, yet it was the tireless work of the global Internet community, which drafted the final proposal, that made this a reality,” said ICANN Board Chair Stephen D. Crocker. “This community validated the multistakeholder model of Internet governance. It has shown that a governance model defined by the inclusion of all voices, including business, academics, technical experts, civil society, governments and many others is the best way to assure that the Internet of tomorrow remains as free, open and accessible as the Internet of today.”

As can be seen, the singsong language contradicts itself: “…multistakeholder model of Internet governance…” “…a governance model…,” “…the best way to assure…” “…the Internet of tomorrow remains as free…as the Internet of today.”

The word “free” is used to describe the Internet in the same sentence as “Internet governance.” No liberty there…except the liberties they take in “taking care of all of this for us,” while they “take care of us,” no doubt. Games. Games played by the stakeholders. Multistakeholder? Would that be Prof. Van Helsing in Dracula? Or is it referring to the usual “conga line” of nabobs, such as oligarchs and their front-corporations, and the politicos. The sacred triumvirate of power-broker billionaires to own it all, elected thieves enriched by the billionaires to place it into law that oligarchs and politicos own and control it, and the religious silver-tongued swami’s (pick any denomination) to soothe the serfs and use sacred scripts to assure a smoothly-sailing servitude, with no say-so.

So, the current model of Internet governance assures us that the Internet will always be free…and that is why ICANN currently has one of their main offices in Beijing, right next to State Security of the People’s Republic of China.

Look deeply, and you can see it. A few years ago, L-1 Identity Solutions was tasked with the creation of biometric systems for passports and driver’s licenses by the U.S. government. Let’s take a quote out of Wikipedia to see what L-1 does:

Watch: Cops Rob Business of $30k in Booze and $10k in Cash and Never Report It

Bronx, NY — An innocent business owner is calling out the NYPD after he says they robbed him of $30,000 in liquor and beer as well as $10,000 cash. Adding credibility to the owner’s claims is the fact that the entire robbery was captured on video.

Rolando Feliz has just filed a lawsuit against the 50th precinct of the NYPD after they stole his entire restaurant’s liquor stock — from Corona and Negro Modelo to Patron Silver and Hennessy — 124 cases in total.

According to the lawsuit, police had no reason to be at his business that night and the entire seizure was illegal.

“I didn’t do anything and I lost everything,” Feliz, 50, told the Daily News.

On top of video evidence, also backing up the claims of theft is the fact that the tens of thousands of dollars in alcohol stolen from Feliz was never entered in as evidence, nor was any record the confiscation ever recorded.

Vouchers for the stolen booze were never given to Feliz or the district attorney’s office, and no one claims to know where it went.

Naturally, the NYPD is claiming they were simply protecting society when their officers raided an innocent business and stole all its booze.

“The NYPD took necessary and proper enforcement actions to close an illegal social club,” Lt. John Grimpel said in a statement.

However, according to Feliz, police told them they were there that day investigating a nearby shooting…

After they stole all of his booze and money, police charged this father of two with possession of a video poker machine and gambling slips.

The charges were later dismissed through a plea deal after Felix showed that the machine was left by the landlord before he took over the building and was in a closet covered in dust during the raid. Also, the “gambling slips” were screenshots of some gambling site Feliz had never seen.

To illustrate how futile the charges were, Feliz was given back the poker machine but cops kept the booze and money.

“That was an abuse, what they did to me, because I never had a gun,” said Feliz.

Adding insult to injury was the fact that Feliz couldn’t make an insurance claim for the stolen booze and money because the robbers were cops.

Canadian PM: Sharia Law is Compatible With Democracy

Justin Trudeau insists Islamic law isn’t incompatible with democracy. The American Center for Democracy disagrees. Who’s right?

Canada continues to support and implement Sharia Law.

The American Center for Democracy (ACD) quotes Imam Aasim Rashid of Vancouver, British Columbia, who spoke in October 2017 at Thompson Rivers University, explaining why the Canadian government wants to implement Sharia Law.

“I’ll tell you who wants to bring Sharia Law,” Thompson said then. “The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law and this is not a joke. Why? Because Sharia Law is simply the way Muslims are doing things.”

“The Canadian government wanted the Muslims to be able to regulate their own issues…to solve their problems amongst themselves [according] to Sharia Law, so it is not a burden on the court system which is already so bogged down.

“The government told us — we would like you to have this system, and we would like to work on these initiatives with you.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told CBC in January 2016 that “Islam is not incompatible with Western secular democracy.”

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: Serving Canada or Serving Islamists?

In practice, the CBC only respects sensibilities when it comes to Islamists such as ISIS or to those who attacked Charlie Hebdo. When it comes to attacking Christians and Jews, the CBC exercises no such restraint.

The CBC also quotes organizations such as the National Council for Canadian Muslims, formerly known as CAIR CAN, which the CBC has referred to as a civil rights group. But they failed to note that CAIR CAN was formed to support its parent organization, CAIR USA, which is a listed terrorist group in the United Arab Emirates. It also does not mention that CAIR USA was formed in part by supporters of Hamas and that it has had multiple run-ins with terrorism financing.

Similarly, when supporting a variety of Islamist issues, the CBC quotes as a source the Canadian Council of Imams. The CBC does not reveal, however, that the Vice President of the Council of Imams, Hakim Quick, believes that the position of Islam on homosexuality is death. It also does not state that the “Emir” of the council is also the head of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). The ICNA believes that Islam is not compatible with democracy, women are inferior and wife beating is permissible.

As a criminal and federal court expert on terrorism, specifically jihadist-based terrorism, my opinion is that the CBC has willfully assisted Islamists in the creation of the social, cultural and political spaces necessary for extremism to grow. By deliberately sheltering even ISIS supporters acting out in Canada from public scrutiny, the state broadcaster is failing the Canadian public… This failure appears willful, intentional, and consistent over time.

Czech Ruing Party Aims to Keep Czexit Out of Debate on Referendum Law

France: Paris Massacre Terrorist Complains About Islamophobia

Claims Muslims are mistreated

Someone, somewhere is playing the world’s smallest violin.

Paris massacre terrorist Salah Abdeslam, the man who helped jihadists butcher hundreds of people, is now complaining about Islamophobia.

Abdeslam is on trial for a shootout he had with Belgian police after the November 13, 2015 attack. He is not expected to stand trial for his role in the Paris massacre, during which 130 people were killed and 368 injured, until 2019.

The Belgium-born French national of Moroccan descent is accused of driving the terrorists to their target locations and helping them manufacture explosives.

He has taken a vow of silence and refuses to respond to questions from the judge, but did take the time out to whine about Islamophobia.

The 28-year-old said Muslims were “judged and treated in the worst of ways, mercilessly,” and said he was placing his trust in Allah.

German Politicians ‘Alarmed’ at Scale of Anti-Christian Hate Attacks

Attacks on churches and Christian symbols accounted for a quarter of the 97 cases

Hate crime figures leaked by police in Germany have caused alarm, as they revealed murder, assault, and arson numbering among almost 100 attacks which targeted Christians in 2017.

Published by the Funke media group several months before annual crime statistics are due to be officially released, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) data showed attacks on churches and Christian symbols accounted for a quarter of the 97 cases.

At least 14 of the cases in the report involved asylum seekers and refugees, including the murder of an Afghan Christian convert by a fellow Afghan in May last year which prompted politicians to urge the BKA to record “anti-Christian crimes” separately for the first time.

Ansgar Heveling, interior policy spokesman for Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, called the figures “alarming” and argued that the state “has a responsibility to punish these attacks severely and consistently… [as] anti-Semitic attacks are rightly being tackled”.

Italy: Magistrate Among 15 Arrested in Corruption Probe

Public official allegedly ‘sold off’ his role

(ANSA) — Rome, February 6 — A magistrate was among 15 people arrested on Tuesday in a probe into two alleged criminal associations devoted to tax fraud, crimes against the public administration and corruption in judicial processes, sources said.

Former Siracusa prosecutor Giancarlo Longo is accused of being a “public official who sold off his role”.

Lawyer Piero Amara and businessmen Fabrizio Centofanti and Enzo Bigotti are also implicated in the case. Riccardo Virgilio, a retired official of top administrative court the Council of State, is under investigation too, the sources said.

Among other things, Longo is suspected of concocting a false probe into an alleged plan to destabilise fuels group ENI along with Amara, who was one of the petrochemicals giant’s lawyers.

The aim of the fake probe was to derail an investigation into alleged Nigerian kickbacks allegedly involving ENI CEO Claudio Descalzi, judicial sources said.

Italy: Berlusconi Escort Trial Suspended

Top court to rule whether willing prostitution against the law

(ANSA) — Bari, February 6 — A Bari trial into the alleged prostitution of escorts an Italian entrepreneur brought to Silvio Berlusconi’s homes between 2008 and 2009 was suspended after the court upheld an appeal to the Constitutional Court Tuesday. The top court is being asked to rule whether the 1958 law that banned brothels complies with the Constitution in banning prostitution even when women freely choose to engage in it, as is allegedly the case with the escorts taken to Berlusconi’s residences by Gianpaolo Tarantini.

Defendants including Tarantini and Sabina ‘Queen Bee’ Began(ovic) are accused of supplying prostitutes to three-time ex-premier and media magnate Berlusconi in exchange for contracts awarded to Tarantini. Berlusconi has denied his parties, dubbed bunga bunga after an off-colour joke he once told, were sex parties and claims they were elegant affairs.

The centre-right Forza Italia leader was convicted of having sex with an underage prostitute known as Ruby the Heartstealer but later acquitted because it was ruled he could not have known her age.

Judge Emma Arbuthnot rejected a call from Assange’s lawyers for the warrant to be revoked because he is no longer wanted for questioning in Sweden.

“I am not persuaded the warrant should be withdrawn,” Arbuthnot told lawyers, journalists and Assange supporters gathered at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

Political Cheat Sheet: Understanding Italy’s Five Star Movement

In the next of our series of articles introducing you to Italy’s major political parties, we take a look at the origins, ideology, and key players of the Five Star Movement (M5S).

UK: Islamic London: “Run, Hide, Tell”

Muslim-majority areas typically consist of poor, unattractive housing projects, remote from the city center, which long ago were abandoned by their original indigenous, working-class populations. They often feature men sitting around cafes and women cooped up at home. They suffer from a range of social pathologies, including unemployment, criminal gangs, and drug-trafficking.

In some instances, store names are only in Arabic.

The Muslim presence is implicit in the intense, pervasive, and depressing security measures installed against jihadi threats of violence. These range from signs urging “Run, Hide, Tell” to bollards, barriers, and gates.

‘White Powdery Substance’ Delivered to Assange at Ecuadorian Embassy

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange was delivered a suspicious package at London’s Ecuadorian embassy that contained a ‘white powdery substance,’ police confirmed on Tuesday night.

Assange, who has been holed up in the embassy for the past five-and-a-half years, fearing he will be extradited to the United States to face trial for WikiLeaks’ publication of classified US military and diplomatic documents in 2010, confirmed via Twitter he had received a suspicious package.

“I can confirm that a package containing an unknown white powdery substance and a threat was addressed to my name. It was handed to UK diplomatic police. I understand they are performing toxicology and forensics,” Assange wrote.

Turkey Detains 449 People for Criticizing Invasion of Syria on Social Media

As Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria continues, so too does their policy of arresting anyone seen as even sort of opposed to the attack. The Turkish Interior Ministry now says 449 people have been detained for criticizing the war on social media, and 124 more detained for taking part in actual protests.

Turkey’s Erdogan government doesn’t have a lot of patience for dissent, or for Kurds. Unsurprisingly, dissent about a war against Kurds is being cracked down on intensely. Erdogan’s spokesman warned that statements criticizing the war amount to statements “glorifying terrorism,” and that the government is just enforcing the law as written.

With Turkey’s largely state-run media praising the war, public support for it is still relatively strong. Opposition is mostly in the ethnic Kurdish region, which Turkey is more than willing to crack down on at any rate, and political opponents.

ACLU Sues Montana to Allow Nurses to Perform Abortions

Montana’s ACLU franchise has teamed up with abortion activist group Center for Reproductive Rights to sue the state of Montana to allow advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to perform abortions in the state.

Montana law only allows physicians and physicians’ assistants to perform the murderous procedure, and only one other state, California, permits nurses to abort babies. Nonetheless, the ACLU lawsuit was filed on behalf of two APRNs who would like to broaden their professional practices to include abortion.

In a press release, the ACLU insists that “only a handful of clinics currently provide abortions in Montana, each separated by great distances. Because of this shortage of abortion providers, many Montanans seeking access to abortion services face significant burdens, including the time and costs of having to travel several hours to their nearest provider.”

L.A. Archdiocese Allows Pagan Spirituality Workshop on Its Premises

LOS ANGELES, February 2, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — The Archdiocese of Los Angeles overseen by Archbishop José Gomez is allowing its conference center right next to Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral to be used for a Filipino native spirituality workshop that one critic says will expose Catholics to the demons of paganism.

The February 24 “Filipino Well Being Training Summit” will feature such events as an “Arawaw Indigenous Cultural Opening Ceremony,” a “Traditional Healing Arts of the Philippines” workshop, and an introduction to “Babaylan-Inspired principles of Self-Care.”

A “babaylan,” according to the event’s publicity material, is a “healer, ritualist, folk-therapist, [and] intermediary with the spirit world.”

But a Catholic writer and evangelist familiar with indigenous Filipino customs told LifeSiteNews that the event has “pagan” influences and is spiritually dangerous.

“Exposing Catholics to pagan influenced events and workshops is of great concern to me,” Rexcristano Delson told LifeSiteNews.

Manchester Art Gallery Removes Nymphs Painting, Replaces it With Live Drag Queens

They said this was done to “prompt conversation”

The Manchester Art Gallery removed John William Waterhouse’s famous “Hylas and the Nymphs” painting to allow a British Afro-Caribbean artist to “takeover” the public space with naked drag queens.

They said this was done to “prompt conversation.”…

Here’s their full rational from their initial press release:

We have left a temporary space in Gallery 10 in place of Hylas and the Nymphs by JW Waterhouse to prompt conversation about how we display and interpret artworks in Manchester’s public collection.

How can we talk about the collection in ways which are relevant in the 21st century? Here are some of the ideas we have been talking about so far. What do you think?

This gallery presents the female body as either a ‘passive decorative form’ or a ‘femme fatale’. Let’s challenge this Victorian fantasy!

The gallery exists in a world full of intertwined issues of gender, race, sexuality and class which affect us all. How could artworks speak in more contemporary, relevant ways?

What other stories could these artworks and their characters tell? What other themes would be interesting to explore in the gallery?

Translation: let’s talk about erasing your history and replacing it with degenerate filth!

Swedish Students Forced to Write Essays on ‘White Male Privilege’

Computer engineering students at the Stockholm-based Royal Institute of Technology cannot complete their education without presenting their reflections on the benefits of being a white heterosexual man.

Apart from programming and mathematics, students who choose computer engineering as their major at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) also have to expect a compulsory course named “Program Cohesion,” which includes a seminar and an essay on minorities and equal treatment, the Nyheter Idag news outlet reported.

To participate in the seminars, students are required to read articles “revealing the hetero norm” at Swedish institutions and on the #Metoo campaign against sexual harassment, as well as watch a film about being black in the Nordic country.

In addition to Implicit Association Test to reveal one’s subconscious prejudice, first-year students are required to write an essay of 500-900 words reflecting on the benefits of being (or at least being perceived as) male and heterosexual, growing up in Sweden and having a Nordic or generally Western appearance.

UK: Teacher Fired, Reported to Counter-Terrorism Agency After Telling Lesbian Student ‘God Loves You’

BRISTOL, England, February 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — A government-funded pre-apprenticeship academy in Bristol reported a Christian teacher as a “radicalisation threat” for answering students’ questions about her beliefs, Bristol Employment Tribunal has heard.

Svetlana Powell, a teacher of some 17 years’ experience, told the Tribunal that she was dismissed by the T2 Apprenticeship Academy in Bristol in July 2016 after being asked by students about her views on homosexuality.

In reply to a personal question, Mrs Powell said that her personal belief was that homosexuality was against God’s will, but that He loved every person, regardless of what they did, or who they were.

When told that one of the students identified as a lesbian, Mrs Powell in conviction of God’s care and love for every person, turned to her and said: “God loves you”. Two days later, the Academy’s HR Officer, Stacy Preston, told Mrs Powell that she was fired for “gross misconduct” with immediate effect.

The Academy’s Chief Safeguarding Officer, Sian Prigg, told the Tribunal that after a group of students complained that they were “brainwashed and preached to”, she decided to contact the local coordinator for Prevent — the government’s ‘counter-terrorism’ strategy group — to report the incident. Mrs Powell said she did not know of being reported as a “radicalisation threat” until she brought a legal claim against the Academy and read Mrs Prigg’s witness statement for the Tribunal…

Mrs Powell, supported by Christian Legal Centre (CLC), is suing Marr Corporation in Bristol Employment Tribunal for loss of earnings.

CLC lawyer, Pavel Stroilov, told the court that Marr Corporation discriminated against Mrs Powell because of her Christian beliefs. He argued that the school’s treatment of Mrs Powell is “in stark contrast” to dealing with students’ complaints against another teacher, Andrew Spargo, whom he described as an “outspoken left-wing atheist”.

When questioning one of Marr Corporation’s witnesses, Liz Barker, Mr Stroilov referred to an e-mail where she reported students’ complaints that Mr Spargo spent most of his time in class “preaching to them on the daily basis about how terrible England is and how many innocent people the government has killed, as well as why Jesus never existed”. On one occasion, Mr Spargo allegedly shocked the students by showing them a sketch of a naked woman with her legs open and vagina showing. On another, he allegedly twice told a student to “get the f*** out of my classroom”.

“The school dealt with that situation pastorally,” Mr Stroilov said in his submission to the tribunal. “Mr Spargo was only told off, and had his probation period extended for three months. He continues to teach at the Academy, and for all we know, carries on with anti-Christian and anti-British indoctrination of students. By contrast, Mrs Powell was dismissed on the spot for much milder comments. In my submission, we have proven today that this was because her views are Christian.”

Video: Trudeau Lectures Questioner; ‘Peoplekind’ Is ‘More Inclusive’ Than ‘Mankind’

PC Canadian Prime Minister strikes again

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, infamous for his over the top political correctness, struck again Monday, correcting an audience member at a town hall meeting, who used the word ‘mankind’.

The questioner was a woman associated with the World Mission Society Church of God. She was asking a question about loosening government regulations on religious organizations.

She stated: “So, that’s why we came here today to ask you, to also look into the policies that religious charitable organizations have in our legislation so that it can also be changed because maternal love is the love that’s going to change the future of mankind — “

Then Trudeau interrupted her, stating “We like to say ‘peoplekind,’ not necessarily ‘mankind,’ because it’s more inclusive.”

Yeah. Peoplekind isn’t a word though, is it:

Trudeau’s comment sent the audience into wild applause, and the woman thanked him for correcting her.

“We can all learn from each other,” Trudeau told her.

The entire scenario was downright weird, but not unprecedented.

Trudeau is carrying over such political correctness into policy. Just last week, the Canadian parliament passed an amendment to the national anthem to change the lyrics, ensuring it is now gender-neutral.

The Canadian government has also begun issuing gender-neutral IDs and health documents to babies.

It may be one thing to bandy around words, but implementing policy based on such political correctness is a different matter, especially when it impacts on issues such as terrorism.

13 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 2/6/2018

  1. “Czech parties launched talks Tuesday on a law making it easier to call national referendums, presenting a tricky balancing act for the ruling ANO party as it seeks support for a new government while preventing an unthinkable Czexit vote.”

    Excellent, and funny how this news has not reached the Czech MSM 🙂

    Do you remember how many articles few months back portrayed mr. Babis ANO party as anti-establishment? Anti-EU? Anti-migration? The Czech Trump? Well, I guess, the Czechs were not fooled, but the “outside world” was…

    The fact is that should Czech-Out referendum take place, the leave-vote is guaranteed! Everybody knows that, and the only obstacle left are these hypocrytes who have mouths full of democracy but in the end they serve their respective globalist lodges.

    It has become clear to the Czechs that we are once again under the foot of international socialism, very similar to the Warsaw Pact, although much more cunning and subtle.

    • Interesting comment and I’m glad you found my tip to the news feed interesting.

      I honestly did not know that the Czech people would vote exit from the EU if given the chance.

      • There is quite a big chance they would, probably not outright “leave”, because we really like the Schengen, but people are generally dissatisfied with the Lisbon treaty, and a concensus is growing that should the migrant quotas be enforced, the Czexit referendum will be initiated, and the leave vote would be guaranteed, because Czechs generally see the migrant quotas as an unacceptable breach of souveregnity.

        For example, our former president’s son, Vaclav Klaus junior. He seems to be profiling himself as a kind of “Czexit” leader. The “establishment” feels that our “Czexit” japanese nationalist party will grow by force equal to the force of “international socialism” in the Czech Republic, and they seem to be reacting.

        Nonetheless, Mr. Babis newspapers bombard us daily with “Czexit would mean disaster” articles, it is clear that real Czexit is probably “unthinkable” to the establishment. Maybe in the same way as Brexit run on shallow ground of bureaucratic resistance.

  2. Soros certainly leads the open borders campaign of our socialist Democratic Party…into the abyss.

  3. Out of control – France:

    “The mass brawls, fought in at least three different parts of Calais, erupted after a 37-year-old Afghan migrant running a human trafficking operation fired gunshots at a group of Africans who did not have money to pay for his services. Five Africans suffered life-threatening injuries.

    Within an hour, hundreds of Eritreans, Ethiopians and Sudanese took to the streets of Calais and attacked any Afghans they could find. More than a thousand police officers using batons and tear gas were deployed to restore order. Two dozen migrants were hospitalized.”

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-06/france-migrant-crisis-spirals-out-control

      • Do you mean hire human trafficker criminals as police?
        Perhaps, another multicultural insanity.

        • I had read another report that made it sound as though 5 Afghans held a building for hours against hundreds of Africans. I reckon they could teach the French about fighting superior numbers.

  4. In Russia, one of the Muslim regions, Dagestan, is being cleared. They say that there is a fight against crime. All the leaders were taken into custody and searches are conducted in all ministries.
