When an NGO boat loaded with 450 migrants was passing through Maltese waters, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini demanded that Malta take action to deal with it, and warned that Italy under no circumstances would allow the vessel to land. The Maltese did nothing, and the ship has now moved into Italy’s “competence zone”, but Mr. Salvini still insists that he will not allow it to land.
In other migration news, the Hungarian foreign minister is proposing that his country pull out of talks on a United Nations migration agreement, because the pact will encourage more immigrants to come to Europe, and force European countries to take them in.

‘Anubis’ Malware Steals Money Posing as Google Play Official App, Cybersecurity Experts Warn
The Anubis malware — apparently taking its name from Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of the dead — lures in victims by pretending to offer services ranging from online shopping to live stock market monitoring.
It’s believed that at least 10,000 people have downloaded the malicious app — although it’s unknown how many Android users have subsequently been infected with the malware.
Once granted accessibility rights by the user, the malicious program uses keylogging to record login details for banking apps. Anubis can also take screenshots of the user’s display.
According to the researchers, the malware’s developers — believed to be located in Turkey — regularly tweak the code to ensure that it isn’t detected by Google Play’s security controls. The regular updates also point to the theory that Anubis was developed by a sophisticated and well-resourced criminal group.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say a Philadelphia real estate developer riding in a Mercedes-Benz was stabbed to death by a man on a bike.
Police say the altercation happened just before 11 p.m. Thursday on a downtown street, a block from the city’s swanky Rittenhouse Square.
Officers found 37-year-old Sean Schellenger lying in the road, bleeding heavily from a stab wound to the back. He died at a hospital.
Police say Schellenger and two others exited the vehicle because another car was blocking the road when the bicyclist arrived and a dispute erupted.

Democrat Congresswoman Erupts Over Strzok Questions: ‘This is Not Benghazi’
Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) used the deadly 2012 terror attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, to shut down fellow committee member Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) during Capitol Hill hearing questioning of FBI agent Peter Strzok Thursday.
Strzok and Gowdy were in the midst of a heated exchange. Gowdy was responding to testimony and arguments from Strzok when he said, “Starting with the political death penalty and impeachment is not the logical way a neutral, dispassionate (inaudible).”
Two committee members then began interjecting, one calling for a “point of order” as both of them talked over Gowdy.
Rep. Bonnie Coleman then shouted at Gowdy, “…and if you can’t control yourself, how do you expect this committee to control itself? You’ve been out of control since you’ve been on this committee. Why don’t you leave it alone? This is not Benghazi.”

The Democrat Party’s #ResistTrump movement has reached an all-time-low. In an astonishing moment, during his questioning of the anti-Trump FBI agent, Peter Strzok, during the House Judiciary Committee hearing, Democrat Congressman Cohen of Tennessee told Strzok that if he could, he would like to give him a “Purple Heart”.
Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., told embattled FBI agent Peter Strzok Thursday that he deserved a Purple Heart for sitting through a public hearing that frequently veered off track and degenerated into shouting matches more than once.
“Mr. Strzok, I don’t know where to start,” Cohen said as he started his allotted five minutes. “If I could give you a Purple Heart, I would. You deserve one.”

Outbreak Alert: Viral Illness That Infects Children Spread in Virginia
A contagious virus which infects children is spreading through Virginia. Childcare providers and schools are sounding the alarms after several hundred cases of “hand, foot, and mouth” disease have sickened young kids.
A letter sent out by the Central Shenandoah Health District on Wednesday warns that cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease have elevated in recent weeks, reported Wavy. The viral illness most often infects children up to age 5, but officials warn anyone is susceptible to the virus.
“There were a total across the state of 376 emergency department and urgent care visits that a chief complaint or a diagnosis of hand, foot and mouth disease. Or, they had symptoms consistent with that of the diagnosis,” according to Laura Kornegay, the district’s health director. Dr. Kevin Connelly, a pediatrician with the Chippenham Hospital in Richmond told NBC affiliate WWBT the disease is highly contagious.
Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, fatigue, a rash in the mouth, on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet, and sometimes painful sores. The fever can last for up to five days, but there are other reasons to be concerned.
“The problem with the disease is that with the blisters in your mouth it hurts to swallow,” Dr. Connelly said. “So children don’t want to eat … don’t want to drink. They have a risk of getting dehydrated.” He also said that runny noses are common in daycares and schools and often how the virus spreads. Saliva is all too common in places where a lot of children congregate.
There’s no treatment for the virus, and it can remain in the body for weeks after symptoms have gone away, according to the Virginia Department of Health. According to The Mayo Clinic, symptoms of the infection can be relieved at home until the child is fully recovered. Sucking on ice or eating ice cream can alleviate the soreness in the mouth, while over-the-counter pain relievers will work to reduce the fever and offer comfort.

Peter Strzok’s Khizr Kahn Story Contradicts Inspector General’s Report
FBI agent Peter Strzok testified before the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday that he did not remember sending his lover, then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, a text message about stopping Donald Trump from becoming president — but that he had been referring to the Khizr Khan controversy.

The Midterm Elections: What is at Stake?
This upcoming November election has become the most important midterm election in our history. Faced with many ruthless enemies on all sides bent on our destruction, we either stand and fight or cut and run hoping that the enemy will not pursue us to our graves. Once again it is decision time. We would do well to recognize that short-sighted people with short memories are prone to make terrible choices, even when they have the best of intentions.
So, let us refresh the voters’ memories to help them in making wise decisions. The vote you cast will not simply replace one politician with another. At this point in time, every vote has great existential implications. Like a wounded snake, the left is desperate and is willing to do anything to disrupt our democratic process in order to grab power. They are no longer the party of Kennedy. That Democrat Party is dead. The left has become so disoriented that they are now calling 63 million Trump voters “Nazis” and extremists. But why?
Whether we like it or not, we are truly in a war of survival of this great nation. The situation has become so dire that we no longer can negotiate co-existence — live and let live — with the left. There is no argument or discussion with the insane.
It is always more prudent to go with the facts than fiction. Democrats are now clearly revealing exactly who and what they really are. They are no longer hiding behind facile words and mischaracterizations.

Walmart Patents Surveillance Tool That Can Eavesdrop on Workers and Customers
The audio surveillance system Walmart designed is composed of several sensors that can collect all kinds of audio data, including beeps and the rustling of paper bags. Any data it gathers can be used to assess an employee’s performance — for instance, the sounds items make when they’re placed inside a bag can tell the company how efficient someone is at bagging purchases. Customers’ voices can also indicate how long a line is and how quickly a cashier can get through all of them.
As BuzzFeed News points, though, the most invasive feature is the system’s ability to understand conversations and use them to judge an employee’s performance: “If however the performance metric is based on the content of the conversation (e.g., was a specific greeting used or script followed), the system can process the audio detected by the sound sensors 102 (e.g., using speech recognition) to determine the performance metric.” It could get chattier cashiers in trouble even if they’re customer favorites for being helpful and friendly.

Threat of Terrorist Attack Near Toronto’s CN Tower Concealed by Police
A mysterious threat that prompted cops to increase their presence in the city’s downtown core was actually a potential “vehicle ramming attack” in the vicinity of the CN Tower, the Sun has learned.
On Thursday morning, Toronto Police posted officers seemingly on every corner around the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium, Roger’s Centre, Scotiabank Arena and elsewhere in the city.
In a cryptic tweet, police stated they were “responding to an unconfirmed, uncorroborated piece of information relating to the GTA.”
And cops also made the public aware there would be an “increased number of police officers throughout the city and, specifically, in the downtown core.”
Near the CN Tower, on Bremner Blvd., Acting Supt. Mike Barsky provided an update just before noon-hour, explaining police had “received information regarding a potential threat to public safety.”
“The police presence in this area is simply so the public can enjoy and come down to this area unimpressive and without any worry,” the 52 Division commander said, unwilling to elaborate on the threat…
Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan also confirmed there is a police presence at the theme park.

Earliest Known Written Record of Homer’s Odyssey Found in Greece
The Greek Ministry of Culture reports archaeologists have found the oldest written record of Homer’s Odyssey. Considered to be one of the all-time greatest works of literature, the engraved clay slab contains 13 verses from the 12,109-line poem, with preliminary estimates dating it to Roman times, likely before the third century.
Homer’s Odyssey follows Odysseus’s adventure-filled 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy. The newly discovered text from the tablet comes from the Odyssey‘s 14th Rhapsody, in which the hero, disguised as a beggar, tells his faithful servant Eumaeus that Odysseus is still alive.

Italy: Majority Will Reject CETA Says Di Maio
‘Serious mistake’ says Confindustria, free trade good says Tria
(ANSA) — Rome, July 13 — The ruling populist majority will reject the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) free-trade deal between the EU and Canada, Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said Friday, a move that was slammed by an important employers group.
He said the CETA, which came into force on September 21 and is now being ratified by EU members, would “have to arrive in this chamber for ratification and this majority will reject it”.
Di Maio said that if Italian “functionaries” try to defend the free-trade deal they “will be removed from their posts”.
As well as being deputy premier, Di Maio is also labour and industry minister.
He is the leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), one of two government partners along with the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League party of Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
Vincenzo Boccia, the head of industrial employers’ group Confindustria, said not ratifying CETA would be a “serious mistake”.
He said “CETA is in Italy’s interests because we are a country with a high export vocation and we create wealth through exports”.
Boccia went on: “If with this treaty Italy exports more it is in the national interest, if it exports less then no.
“According to the data, it appears objectively to me that the treaty opens up to Italy and does not close down.
“You have to interpret the data in a logic of country and not category”.
Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said “I have not followed the dossier”, adding that “the devil is in the details”.
He said “my personal opinion is that free trade, which is extended also through trade deals, is always a good thing, but you have to see how these accords are made”.

London: Vocal, Pro-Trump Former Ambassador to US Beaten to a Pulp Night Before Trump Arrives in UK
Former UK Ambassador to the US Sir Christopher Meyer, 74, was beaten bloody by two attackers at Victoria Station in London on Wednesday, hours after he published an essay supporting President Donald Trump’s visit to the UK Thursday. — Gateway Pundit
Nigel Farage tweeted about the beating of the British ambassador to the US:
Thoughts with former British ambassador to the US, Sir Christopher Meyer, who was brutally attacked yesterday. He has been doing a lot of media about how important the Trump visit is. Police say it looks like a robbery — we’ll see.
Conservative UK activist shared a portion of a pro-Trump article that was written only 12 hours before his attack. To date, there is no evidence that the attack was motivated by his political views. According to the Ambassador’s wife, Baroness Meyer, the police have told her “it is more likely they might have wanted to rob him”. Baroness Meyer went on to clarify that nothing was stolen from the former US Ambassador.
Katie Holmes, however, posed the question about the possible connection to his pro-Trump views and the beating he received with her tweet:

Hindu Woman Shot Dead at Home by Jilted Love Jihadi
Parents injured as protested.
Alo Hazra | HENB | Konnagar | July 13, 2018:: : A 35-year-old Hindu woman was shot dead in front of her parents by a Muslim man who barged into their house at Olympic Math area in Konnagar (ward no. 7) on Thursday evening and pulled the trigger from point-blank range. Konnagar is a municipal town in the Hoogly district in West Bengal.
Subhalogna Chakrabarty was watching television when 38-year-old Mohammad Sultan Ali, a resident of the same ward no 7 Farasipara neighborhood, turned up with a revolver and shot her from point bank range.
Sultan, who has been arrested, knew Subhalogna and possibly targeted her because she had spurned him, police said.
The Chakrabartys have been residents of Konnagar Municipality, around 24km from Kolkata, for decades. Subhalogna’s father, Tushar, is an engineer who retired from Konnagar Municipality a few years ago.
Sultan had entered the Chakrabarty residence at 8 pm and gunshots were heard moments later. He allegedly slapped Subhalogna before pulling out his revolver and shooting her. As the parents of Subhalogna tried to rescue their daughter from the grab of Sultan, he also attacked Subhalogna’s parents in a ruthless way. Sultan hit Tushar and his wife with the butt of the revolver, the police said.
While Subhalogna was declared brought dead at the nearby Uttarpara State General Hospital, her parents are being treated in the same hospital for the recovery from moderate injuries.

500 Libyans Trained by Year’s End — Sophia Chief
More rescues, fewer deaths Credendino tells ANSA
(ANSA) — Rome, July 13 — EU Sophia mission chief Admiral Ernesto Credendino told ANSA Friday “so far we have trained 213 (Libyan) officers and by the end of the year we will reach 500: we expect the Libyans to give us the names of the people to be trained”.
He said “this training, together with the motor launches donated, has enabled the Libyans to work more effectively, rescuing more than 20,000 people since halfway through last year, with a reduction of deaths”.
Credendino, commander of the EunavforMed Sophia mission, said that the op only carried out 10% of migrant rescue operations but this was an “obligation”.
Rescues, he said, “are not in our mandate” but “a sailor has the moral obligation to intervene to save lives at sea,” he said.
In three years the Sophia mission has saved 44,900 migrants, he said, but that is only 10% of the total.
“We are not a pull factor”, he said.
“We must fight the networks of people traffickers and we have results on that”, he said.
Credendino added that there were links between people traffickers and oil in Libya.
He also said that “attention” must be paid to foreign fighters from Tunisia.

Boat With 450 Migrants Mustn’t Come to Italy Says Salvini
Will get to bottom of migrant ‘mutiny’ vows interior minister
(ANSA) — Rome, July 13 — Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Friday a boat carrying 450 migrants, now in Maltese-competence waters, can’t come to Italy, as he wrestled with another migrant case that pitted him against President Sergio Mattarella and caused a government split. Salvini said “a boat with 450 CLANDESTINES aboard has since this morning been in waters under the competence of Malta, which has said it will intervene. A few hours later, however, no one has moved and the boat has started heading for Italy again.
“Let Malta, the migrant smugglers and the do-gooders of all of Italy and all the world know that this boat CANNOT and MUST NOT arrive in an Italian port.
“We’ve already done our bit, understood?” The Italian foreign ministry sent a note to the Maltese embassy in Rome saying that Rome asked Valletta to meet its responsibilities with the maximum urgency.
The coordination of the case is up to Malta’s Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC), the ministry stressed.
Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said “Malta must immediately do its duty” in the case.
Salvini said earlier he would get to the bottom of an alleged migrant “mutiny” on board a rescue ship earlier this week.
President Mattarella “didn’t interfere” when he instructed Premier Giuseppe Conte to offload a coast guard ship carrying 67 migrants at Trapani after Salvini blocked it because of the alleged incident on board the previous ship that first picked up the migrants, Salvini said.
The president “has never interfered with what I have done as interior ministers”, said Salvini in reference to the Diciotti ship which had picked up the migrants from private Italian oilrig tug Vos Thalassa, where the alleged protest, allegedly led by a Ghanaian and a Senegalese man, allegedly took place.
The Vos Thalassa crew have reportedly said the crew was surrounded by the migrants and the first mate was pushed.
But the migrants have said they didn’t attack anyone and were only afraid of being taken back to Libya, causing “confusion”.
Judicial sources have said there may be arrests and one of the two alleged ringleaders of the protest may be a people trafficker.
Salvini went on: “I have nothing to clear up.
“If, however, Mattarella wants to understand what I did I’m at his disposal, but the fight against illegals is one of the country’s priorities.
“The only thing that would make me angry is if all those who came off the Diciotti got off scot free, someone must pay.
“There must be certainty of punishment.
“I hope the prosecutors hurry up, it can’t end up in sweetness and light”.
Salvini had earlier said he would “go on to the end” to “get to the bottom” of what happened among the migrants.
He said “I will go to the end until someone is handed over to justice.
“I’m interior minister and I will do my utmost to defend the security of Italians, what I am doing is blocking departures, landings and deaths”.
Salvini’s coalition partner Luigi Di Maio said “Mattarella’s decision must be respected”.
The deputy premier and labour and industry minister said: “I believe that if the president intervened we must respect his decisions”.
Salvini is also a deputy premier and leader of the anti-migrant League party.
He has been cracking down on migrants and has stopped NGO ships from docking in Italian ports.
Di Maio is the leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S).
Magistrates union ANM on Friday called for an end to “interference” in the work of Trapani prosecutors investigating the two migrants that landed from the Diciotti coast guard ship Thursday night.
“The work of the Trapani prosecutors must be allowed to proceed without interference,” the ANM said, referring to the pressure from Salvini.
The union said all calls for intervention were “unjustified and not in line with the principles of autonomy and independence laid down by the Constitution, to which everyone must keep”.
Justice Minister Alfonso Bonafede said that “magistrates work in full independence and autonomy with respect to political power”.
He said “I want to reassure everyone.
“Salvini expressed his opinion, he meant to say that if someone did wrong they must pay, but the facts speak clearly and they are showing this with the Diciotti case”.
The crew of the Vos Thalassa oil-rig tug felt “seriously threatened” by the reaction of migrants when they were told they being taken back to Libya, sources at the Trapani prosecutor’s office said Friday. The captain reportedly told prosecutors the migrants had surrounded the crew shouting “no Libya, Libya, yes Italy”.
As well as surrounding the crew, they allegedly pushed the first mate, sources said.
This was when the captain decided to get in touch with the Rome port commander’s office, which sent coast guard vessel Diciotti to offload the migrants.
The first questioning of the 67 migrants will take place today, sources said.
Some of the migrants told a UNICEF official Friday that they were afraid of being returned to Libya but did not attack anyone on board the Vos Thalassa oilrig tug that had picked them up, contrary to reports.
“We didn’t attack anyone, there was 5-10 minutes of great confusion and fear, but we didn’t want to hurt anyone,” they told Italo-Egyptian UNICEF/Intersos officer Sahar Ibrahim on board the coast guard ship that took them on, the Diciotti.
“We were terrified, we didn’t want to go back to Libya: we were ready to dive into the sea and risk our lives rather than being returned to land”.
A coast guard cutter rescued 31 Syrian migrants and took them to Lampedusa Friday, including 17 children, 10 of whom were wearing red T-shirts, and a pregnant woman, sources said.
Many migrants dress their children in red to make them easier to spot in cases of shipwreck.

EU Migrant Crisis: Supreme Court Orders Spain to Take in More Refugees
SPAIN’S Supreme Court has ordered Madrid to in more refugees after ruling it had failed to honour a 2015 commitment to accept at least 16,000 asylum seekers from Italy and Greece. Despite Spain’s decision to take in a migrant ship stranded at sea to “avoid a humanitarian disaster,” it is still failing to do enough to help resettle refugees, judges said.

The exciting conclusion to last night’s post about Ryan and Steve Scalise forcing a floor vote on the dopey “abolish ICE” legislation being pushed by lefties.
In other words, the bill was a stunt meant to virtue-signal to the base about the left’s hostility to immigration enforcement. They got ahead of themselves in their rush to pander and Republicans tried to make them pay. How outrageous that the GOP would try to divide the Democratic Party by pushing this … Democratic bill.

Italy: Will Get to Bottom of Migrant ‘Mutiny’ Says Salvini
ANM says don’t meddle, migrants say didn’t attack anyone

Trump: Brexit Happened Because of ‘Very Bad’ Immigration
U.S. President Donald J Trump has said that mass immigration is “very bad” for Europe and it is changing the culture of the continent, before saying that the UK vote to leave the European Union happened “because of immigration”.

Theresa May today hit back at Donald Trump’s incendiary warning Britain is ‘losing its culture’ because of immigration.
The Prime Minister said that immigrants from all over the world have made a ‘fantastic contribution’ to life in the UK.
Although she also stressed that Britain will end free movement when the country quits the European Union.
Mr Trump has sent the Special Relationship into meltdown by trashing the PM’s Brexit plans which he said killed off hopes of a transatlantic trade deal.
And he said warned Britain — and the rest of Europe — is ‘losing its culture’ by allowing ‘millions and millions’ of people to move in.

Video Shows 8 Antifa Members of ‘Occupy ICE’ Arrested Outside ICE Facility
Eight protesters were arrested Wednesday morning as they blocked a van from leaving a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Southwest Portland.
A video entitled “Deportation bus leaving Portland, Oregon (Abolish #OccupyICEPDX)” shows a band of protesters linked at the arms, blocking the van from exiting the facility. It also shows several of them being detained by officers, who deployed pepper balls at close range, as well as pepper spray.
One detained protester ran away. Robert Sperling, a Federal Protective Service spokesman, said officers went after that protester but didn’t know whether he or she was among the eight arrested.
The federal agency said the eight people were arrested on allegations including but not limited to failure to comply and obstruction. Federal officers warned the protesters to leave the driveway multiple times, the agency said in a statement.

Facebook Reveals Plan to Censor Opinions
On last night’s show, I reported on a video released by Facebook that details their comprehensive plan to censor opinions.
Facebook plans to target what it sees as “bad actors, bad behaviour and bad content”, but what falls under those definitions is vague and could easily apply to anybody with an opinion the liberals running Facebook don’t agree with.
WATCH my video to see footage from Facebook’s own video detailing the targets of their censorship campaign.

by Srdja Trifkovic
In the spring and summer of 1968 a wave of student protests erupted on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Their immediate causes were different, but they had two significant common features: contagious denial of the legitimacy of authority and a distaste for established norms of behavior and thought. The process was spiritually comparable to previous orgies of insanity (1793, 1917) but less focused or violent: the soixante-huitards “sought to change the world before they had begun to understand it.”
Defeated in the short term, as signified by Charles de Gaulle’s electoral comeback in June and Richard Nixon’s victory in November, the Left’s long march proved ultimately triumphant. For the future neoliberal ruling class, Paris 1968 was the cultural, social and political turning point where post-structuralism finally merged with young Karl Marx.
The wave of demonstrations in France was triggered off by the ostensibly banal demand of male students at the University of Paris at Nantierre to be free to visit girls’ dormitories at will. This was seen as a liberating demand at the time. (Little did they suspect that, half a century later, progressive students would demand campus authorities to strictly regulate relations between men and women.) The ensuing mayhem released a genie which was already chewing on the bit. Roger Scruton later wrote that his switch to conservatism started when he saw the Parisian barricades first-hand. He was in the Latin Quarter when students tore up the cobblestones to hurl at the riot police, overturned cars and uprooted lamp-posts to erect the barricades. “I suddenly realised that I was on the other side,” he wrote years later…

What Globalists Say; What They Really Mean
“[The] nation state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force. International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation state.” (Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1969)
This famous quote from one of the world’s leading Globalists could have been written more truthfully. For example: “We must do everything we can to eliminate the reality of separate and individual countries. In this regard, breaking down borders with massive waves of immigration will go a long way.”
And what about Brzezinski’s remark that corporations and banks are acting in ways that are “far in advance” of the nation-state?
Perhaps this is what he means by advanced concepts: Corporations are empowered to set up factories in Third World hellholes, where they employ workers at starvation wages, with no environmental concerns or controls. That’s step one. Step two is exporting the goods made in those far-off places back to First World countries without paying tariff-penalties.
Yes, that’s what Brzezinski and other elite Globalists would call “enlightened economics.”
To call this free-market capitalism is a gross misnomer. The free market is pushed to the side. Basic capitalism, in which an entrepreneur builds a domestic business and sells his goods, has nothing to do with this kind of engineered international corporate expansion. The corporate Globalist state is a different animal altogether.

And this is the reaction of the authorities:
… According to the “Fontanka”, a criminal case under article 213 of the Criminal Code “Hooliganism” was initiated after a lengthy discussion of interested departments. The Investigative Committee of St. Petersburg was inclined to believe that the multi-episode case of an attempted murder would not be appropriate at the time of the 2018 World Cup. He was supported by the prosecutor’s office of St. Petersburg, also not inclined to spoil the benevolent information background.
