Brooklyn city lawmaker is sponsoring sex-segregated beach days for Jewish and Muslim people.
A Brooklyn city lawmaker is sponsoring sex-segregated beach days to give his Jewish and Muslim constituents an opportunity to enjoy the seaside.
City Councilman Chaim Deutsch announced the first ever “Southern Brooklyn Beach Day,” with separate dates for men and women by the sandy spot behind Kingsborough Community College.
“A lot of people are disenfranchised for religious reasons,” the Democrat said. “They don’t use the beach because they don’t go mixed swimming. This is to give those people an opportunity for a day out at the beach.”

“The World is on Fire”: Merkel Warns of Unprecedented Disasgreement at G7 Summit
Following last weekend’s G-7 meeting for the world’s most important finance ministers and central bankers in Whistler, Canada, at which the US was introduced as a “+1” to the G-6, and whose positioned was “condemned” by the rest of the Developed World, this week’s G-7 showdown in Toronto where Trump will also be present, promises to be a historic event, one in which Chancellor Angela Merkel has vowed to challenge Donald Trump on trade and climate, and warned the lack of room for compromise means leaders may fail to agree on a final statement, an unprecedented event at a summit of the world’s 7 most advanced nations.
Speaking before German lawmakers on Wednesday, two days before the G-7 summit starts in Canada, Merkel said that Trump’s “America First” doctrine shows that “we have a serious problem with multilateral agreements.” She added that failure to reach common ground could lead to the highly unusual step of host Canada issuing a concluding statement not agreed by all participants, according to Bloomberg.

German Cabinet Moves to Reduce Healthcare Costs for Publicly Insured
Proponents say the bill would save citizens some €8 billion in premiums. Lawmakers said the new bill was just; employers, however, called it a “socio-political sin,” saying it would cost businesses €5 billion annually.
On Wednesday, Germany’s Cabinet approved Health Minister Jens Spahn’s proposed new legislation designed to provide relief to citizens who have public health insurance. The bill, known as the GKV-Versichertenentlastungsgesetz — which translates roughly to the public healthcare relief bill — would require employers to cover 50 percent of employees’ insurance premiums beginning January 1, 2019. Some 56 million Germans are publicly insured.
German businesses decried the proposal, saying it would immediately cost them some €5 billion ($5.9 million). Steffen Kampeter, managing director of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations, called the proposal “the administration’s biggest socio-political sin.” Kampeter added that the proposal would deliver a “tough blow to competitiveness, growth and hiring.”…

Confessions of a Turkish-Cypriot Mass Murderer

UK Warns EU’s ‘Dogmatic’ Approach to Brexit Risks Lives
LONDON (AFP) — British Brexit Minister David Davis accused the EU on Wednesday of risking the security of European citizens by taking a “dogmatic” approach to security cooperation after Britain leaves the bloc.
Davis said the new partnership Britain was seeking with the bloc, covering everything from intelligence sharing to cross-border arrest warrants, was “unconditional”.
“Any move by others to place conditions on our offer will only serve to put the safety of everybody’s citizens at risk,” he said in a speech to European diplomats, ministers and journalists in central London.
Davis highlighted efforts by the European Commission to block access to the EU’s Galileo satellite project to British businesses, citing issues about sharing sensitive data with a non-EU country…

Trump Will Demand Kim Commitment to Nuclear Disarmament Timetable
With less than a week to go until the historic Trump-Kim summit on June 12 in Singapore, details of the US-led agenda are starting to emerge, with Bloomberg and Reuters reporting that the White House wants North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to commit to a timetable to surrender his country’s nuclear arsenal when he meets with Trump during the high-stakes summit that could last as long as two days, or end right there and then if Kim balks at the demand.
Citing a US official, Bloomberg reported that Trump has been advised not to offer Kim any concessions as the White House seeks to put the onus on the North Koreans to make the summit a success; having already canceled the meeting once, the president is reportedly determined to walk out of the meeting if it doesn’t go well.
Alternatively, if things go as planned and if the two men hit it off, Trump may offer Kim a follow-up summit at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, as soon as this fall.

Easing Control of Ethiopia Economy a ‘Necessity’: Analysts
ADDIS ABABA (AFP) — Ethiopia’s move to open its markets has been hailed as a seismic policy shift, but analysts say the new government had little choice after years of tight control took their toll on the economy.
Ethiopia boasts Africa’s fastest-growing economy and a slew of new, ambitious infrastructure projects — but beneath this jewelled facade are problems.
Despite the heady growth, the economy is showing signs of slowing at a critical time. Just when the country is facing a demographic crunch, dollars have become scarce, debt is unsustainable and sectors that are booming elsewhere in Africa are moribund.
This, say analysts, is what pushed the ruling Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) to announce Tuesday it will allow foreigners to take minority shares in some of its biggest state-owned industries, among them the country’s sole telecom company and Ethiopian Airlines…

Human Traffickers Are Already Using Porous Irish Border to Ship Migrants Into Britain
Migrants are forking out huge sums for new EU passports that allow them to dodge Cross-channel security in Calais and Dover in a farce dubbed by one smuggler as “a guaranteed way to get into the UK”.
The immigrants are flown from Paris to Dublin where they travel by car to the Northern Irish border, a BBC investigation revealed.
They then take the ferry from Belfast to Glasgow and then the final leg of the journey to England where they begin a plush new life afresh.
The brazen plot has been nicknamed the ‘Irish route’ because after a swift passport check in Dublin, it is the last time documents are shown before getting into Britain.
One Iranian illegal immigrant called Hamid has done the journey with a genuine Greek passport adapted to include his photo, and said he was “not worried” about being caught because of the security in Ireland.

When asked about possible opposition to this plan from regional governments, Salvini replied: “with all the League governors we have, I can’t wait to have closed centres”.

“Muslim Engagement & Development” (MEND.org.uk), which posted this, clearly has its own agenda, and this incident is clearly untypical even of Brits opposed to the islamisation of our country. However the fact that it (apparently) happened at all is pretty appalling, not least because it gives them ammunition.
I wonder who they hired for the role of a Muslim cutie with a hipster hairdo? He looks more like Yugoslavian. Pakistanis have a special imprint of idiocy and lies on their faces and these stinking beards …
Why didn’t they take on the role of a Muslim with someone from their Rotherham gang?
Re Culture Wars: “The Decline of Art and the Cult of Ugliness”
I can’t resist referring to Robert A Heinlein’s “Stranger in a Strange Land”, specifically pages 295-7; some of the best writing on art I know, and in a “science fiction” novel, already. The character called Jubal (wonderful name!) is discussing mainly Rodin in particular; towards the end he says, “Rodin died about the time the world started flipping its lid. His successors noted the amazing things he had done with light and shadow and mass and composition and they copied that part. What they failed to see was that the master told stories that laid bare the human heart. They became contemptuous of painting or sculpture that told stories- they dubbed such work ‘literary.’ They went all out for abstractions.”
And yet… I recall Leonard Bernstein, in one of his 1970s Harvard lectures, likening the first movement development of Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony to cell growth, which was unknown in 1808. I’ve long been (oddly) attracted to Jackson Pollock’s abstract
paintings; only a few years ago I saw a tv programme explaining that his apparently random splodges are fractals, another building block of nature which he was unlikely to be aware of. Truly the world, and the people who inhabit it, are more wonderful than we can know.
Of potential interest regarding Emmet Scott/Henri Pirenne’s question of phantom 300 years :
A Crucial Archaeological Dating Tool Is Wrong, And It Could Change History as We Know It
Interesting hypotheses. I gather they are questioning dates in terms of decades. That’s not what Scott/Pirenne did. They were calling into question the myth of Andalusia, which lasted eight centuries.
Scott was courageous in taking up Pirenne’s theses and building on them from the archeological facts in the ground – or rather, the lack of them. Find a real horse to flog, please.
