15 Reasons to Prep Even if Doomsday Never Arrives

After the stock market crash in 2008, many preppers warned that doomsday was imminent and that people should prepare while they still can. But doomsday never arrived. In fact, over the last few years things have gradually improved. The stock market is higher than ever, and unemployment is way down.

Body of Man Killed in Explosion Still Not Recovered

BEAVER DAM, Wis. (AP) _ Police in Beaver Dam still have not been able to recover the body of a man killed in an explosion at an apartment.

The unidentified man died in the explosion Monday afternoon. Police Chief John Kreuziger said a news conference Tuesday that chemicals in that apartment are still too volatile for officers to enter the unit. Kreuziger says authorities entered Monday, determined the man was dead and took photos of the chemicals and what the chief says are “explosive devices.”

He says officers are currently working in the garage at the apartment building where chemicals have also been found.

Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are helping local law enforcement agencies investigate. Some tenants who were evacuated Monday have not yet been allowed to return to their apartments.

Body of Man Killed in Explosion Still Not Recovered: Update-2

BEAVER DAM, Wis. (WBAY) — The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office says an apartment explosion in Beaver Dam that killed one man appears to be the result of bomb-making activity.

The explosion happened on the second floor of the complex Monday afternoon, blowing out windows and the sliding glass door of an upstairs apartment.

Police in Beaver Dam still have not been able to recover the body.

Police Chief John Kreuziger said a news conference Tuesday that chemicals in that apartment are still too sensitive and unstable for officers to enter the unit.

“We took photos and we forwarded that to the FBI, and we got information back that definitely those are explosive devices,” Kreuziger said.

He says officers are currently working in the garage at the apartment building where chemicals have also been found.

Police say the man moved into the apartment just a couple months ago. They are not sure if he was involved in terrorist activity.

Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are helping local law enforcement agencies investigate.

Italy: League Will Talk to Allies ‘First’ — Giorgetti

Salvini met challenges he set himself

(ANSA) — Milan, March 5 — Giancarlo Giorgetti, the deputy leader of the League, said Monday that the Euroskeptic, anti-migrant party will hold talks with its centre-right alliances on what to do after the general election before anything else. “First we’ll talk with our allies,” Giorgetti said. “We have clear ideas about what to do and we look to the future with serenity and awareness.

“We know what we have to do.

“I think (League leader) Matteo Salvini has met the challenges he set himself”. There has been speculation that the League could join forces with the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), which is projected to be the biggest party in the new parliament, to form a new government if the centre right comes up short of winning a working majority.

Italy Vote a ‘Damning’ Verdict on Elite — FT

‘Serious doubts’ new govt will continue reform path

(ANSA) — Rome, March 6 — The Italian elections amounted to a “damning” verdict on the country’s elite and there are “serious” doubts whether the next government will continue on the path of structural reforms, the Financial Times said Tuesday.

Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Italy “could hardly have delivered a more damning verdict on the shortcomings of the political classes that have governed the nation for the past quarter of a century,” leader writer Tony Barber said.

The political order established after the collapse of Christian democracy and communism in the early 1990s is “buckling”, Barber said, under the weight of policy failures and an arrogant, self-serving attitude to power that has alienated millions of Italian voters.

If the result was a triumph for “populism”, Barber said, it was also a defeat for “populism lite”. Matteo Renzi and Silvio Berlusconi, two former mainstream prime ministers, each rose to power by deploying an artfully populist political style. But in this election they were trounced, he said.

Ex-premier Renzi on Monday said he was quitting as PD leader after its dreadful showing in Sunday’s general election. Giannini told Radio Capital that Renzi had said to him that he was going skiing and the PD’s directorate will decide who to sent to the president’s consultations with the parties before he decides who to give a mandate to form a government to.

Vatican’s Favorite Male Prostitute Unveils Dirty Truth, Calls Out Hypocrisy

The whistleblower is a male escort, Francesco Mangiacapra, described by the media as a devout Catholic. He attempted to uncover the “secrets” of his clients in priestly garb long ago, but only now succeeded.

He has come up with a 1,200-page dossier, focused on nearly 40 priests across Italy, which he took to the archdiocese of Naples, led by Cardinal Cresenzio Sepe, who in his turn forwarded it to the Vatican. “There remains the gravity of the cases for which those who have erred must pay the price, and be helped to repent for the harm done,” Sepe said in a statement on the diocesan website.

The dossier, containing WhatsApp and Telegram chats, some of them exclusively devoted to gay dating, was meant to shed light on the “reality that is clearly in contradiction with the obligations imposed by the cassock.” In some message exchanges priests made appointments to have rendezvous with male escorts or other priests in their areas. Notably, he added added that the priests paid “hundreds of euro” and afforded premium services.

Mangiacapra, who dealt with priest clients himself on more than one occasion, said he could no longer tolerate the hypocrisy among the clergy, as they right and left slam homosexuals:

“We are talking about sins, not crimes,” he said. “I only want this out so that these people will stop preaching hatred towards gays.”…

All-Women Convoy Campaigning for Release of Women Jailed by Syrian Regime Starts Journey in Istanbul

An all-women international convoy started its three-day journey in Istanbul on March 6 to raise awareness of the suffering of women and young girls imprisoned by the Syrian government.

With participants from over 50 countries, the International Conscience Convoy, calling itself the “voice of oppressed women in Syria,” started its journey on 55 buses after holding a press conference in Istanbul’s Yenikapi Square.

Speaking at the press conference, human rights lawyer and convoy organizer Gülden Sönmez said the journey campaigns for the release of imprisoned Syrian women and spark hope for a better future.

Currently, over 6,700 women — more than 400 of whom are young girls — are still living in these brutal prisons, said a statement by the Conscience Convoy.

“We hear you, my Syrian sisters. We share your pain and we hear you, despite the efforts of those who are trying to drown you out. My dear sisters, we’re coming for you,” Sönmez said.

“We are setting off on this journey to be the conscience of those who are in Syrian prisons,” Yvonne Ridley, a British journalist and women’s rights campaigner, said at the press conference…

Pakistan: Senate Committee Recommends Punishment for False Accusations of Blasphemy

A Senate Special Committee on Human Rights on Tuesday recommended that perpetrators of false accusations of blasphemy be given the same punishment as set for those convicted for blasphemy.

“Anyone falsely accusing someone of blasphemy should be subjected to the same punishment as a person convicted of blasphemy,” the recommendation stated.

The punishment for blasphemy in Pakistan ranges from several years in prison to a death sentence. Under existing laws, a person making a false accusation can only face proceedings under Section 182 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which entails a maximum punishment of six months, or a mere Rs1,000 fine.

The recommendation also stated that anyone looking to register a blasphemy case at a police station should have to bring two witnesses to support their accusation.

However, committee member Senator Mufti Abdul Sattar, who belongs to the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl, opposed the recommendations, terming them “an attempt to sabotage the blasphemy law.”

“Are there no other laws in the country that are being misused?” the legislator complained.

“We are not trying to make any changes to the blasphemy law, we are trying to keep people from misusing it,” Senator Farhatullah Babar clarified.

The committee has decided to forward its recommendations to the Council of Islamic Ideology…

Sri Lanka Declares 10 Days’ Emergency After Buddhist-Muslim Violent Clashes in Some Places

Now, 10% Muslim population in Sri Lanka posed a security threat to the Hindu-Buddhist-Christian people of the island.

Buddhists’ response to the Jihadis after an unarmed man was killed by them. Mosque attacked in Theldeniya, Sri Lanka.

B Upendran | HENB | Colombo | March 6, 2018:: Now, 10% Muslim population in Sri Lanka posed a security threat to the majority Buddhists and Hindu people of the island. Though Sri Lanka’s population practices a variety of religions, the fundamental Muslim organisations have been trying to set a Jihad in the island to capture its parts under the green flag with sword and the Islamic moon and star. As of the 2011 census 70.2% of Sri Lankans are Theravada Buddhists, 12.6% are Hindus, 9.7% are Muslims (mainly Sunni) and 7.4% Christians (6.1% Roman Catholic and 1.3% other Christian). Like other parts of the world growing Muslim population in Sri Lanka is trying to clash with non-Muslim people as their tradition of Quran and Jihad.

Sri Lanka today declared a state of emergency for 10 days to rein in the spread of communal violence between majority Sinhala and minority Muslims in the country’s scenic Kandy district that left two persons dead and damaged several mosques and homes.

Violence, triggered by the death of a Sinhalese man at the hands of a mob last week, erupted yesterday in the Theldeniya area of the central hill district popular with tourists. The government sent troops and elite police commandoes to Kandy to restore order and enforce the curfew.

President Maithripala Sirisena and the Cabinet decided to declare a state of emergency for 10 days following the violence prevailed in some parts of the country, Minister of Social Empowerment S B Dissanayake told reporters after a Cabinet meeting.

A Gazette notification would be issued right away after the President signs the proclamation, giving effect to the state of emergency, he said.

Muslims claimed that around 10 mosques, 75 shops and 32 houses belonging to the minority community were badly damaged in the attacks by the Sinhalese Buddhists, forcing police to fire tear gas shells and impose an overnight curfew to prevent clashes between the two communities.

The situation, however, remained tense in part of Kandy, home to famous tea plantations and Buddhist relics, after burnt body a Muslim man was recovered today from the remains of a burnt building…

Greece: Fake Cohabitation Agreements Provide Thousands of Illegals With EU Residence Permits

A new Greek law for cohabitation is heavily abused to give illegal migrants Greek and EU residence permits, Greek news outlet Xryshaygh reports.

To secure gay rights in the country, a new cohabitation bill was passed through the Greek parliament. The “cohabitation agreement” was intended to give people the same legal rights as within a marriage.

But now it seems the bill is heavily abused, as some women have reached cohabitation agreements with multiple illegal immigrants, who can now get residence permits for Greece and the EU. It’s unknown how many migrants are involved but it could be hundreds or thousands as Greece is Europe’s migration bottleneck.

8 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 3/6/2018

    • Most of the women of Western civilization hate it. Every chance they get, they support politicians, msm personalities etc. who want anarchy and then tyranny. Is it stupidity or madness?

  1. The International Conscience Convoy (all women participants) heading from Istanbul to the Syrian border, ostensibly aims to bring about the release of all women prisoners in Syrian prisons. The arrival of the convoy is timed to coincide with International Women’s Day, March 8. It’s deeply ironic to see these protesters, most wearing the hijab, some with face-covering niqabs, declare their concern for the plight of Syrian women. For many of them, treatment of women in their home countries (Turkey included for sure) also deserves the the spotlight.

    Al-Assad’s prisoners, both men and women, deserve the attention of the world. But this virtue-signalling convoy is co-opting International Women’s Day for its own purpose.

    This convoy is reminiscent of the Gaza Flotilla, which also left from Istanbul, on a mission to bring “humanitarian aid” to Gaza. That flotilla had all the fingerprints of the Turkish government on it, and was just as ironic since many in Turkey live in poverty—but no “humanitarian aid” for them.

    The Turkish government has a long reach and Erdogan has a known hatred for al-Assad. Are these women in the convoy not aware that they are pawns in a much bigger game?
