Gates of Vienna News Feed 7/24/2018

The European Union is resorting to the strategy of offering money to member states to persuade them to accept migrants and establishing refugee processing centers. The deal will include €6,000 for every migrant whose asylum application is accepted. However, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini responded by saying, “We don’t need charity!”

In other news, at least 74 people have been killed and 150 injured by a wave of wildfires in Greece.

Venezuela Surpasses Weimar as Hyperinflation Expected to Hit 1,000,000% by Year End

Some readers may recall this headline from January 2018 “IMF Projects Venezuela Inflation Will Soar to 13,000 Percent in 2018.”

This, it turns out was just a little bit off, because as we reported only two weeks ago, Venezuela’s annualized inflation hit an annualized rate of 482,153%, with food prices soaring 183% in just one month.

Fast forward to today, when it’s time for another “slight revision” because according to the latest IMF forecast released today, Venezuela’s hyperinflation by the end of the year will hit, drumroll, 1,000,000% as the government continues to simply print money to in hopes of filling the void of what was once the country’s economy.

F.B.I. Agent Charged After Oregon Refuge Shooting Goes on Trial

After the Sept. 11 attacks, Joseph Astarita sought to follow in the footsteps of his father, an F.B.I. agent, joining the bureau and later earning a spot on the New York office SWAT team.

But he dreamed of joining the elite Hostage Rescue Team, and after a failed effort, he landed with the unit on his second try in April 2015.

Now Mr. Astarita faces prison, the ultimate disgrace for an agent sworn to uphold the law. He was indicted on charges of lying and obstruction of justice after a deadly clash with a well-known anti-government activist. His federal trial starts Tuesday in Portland, Ore., and is expected to last several weeks, putting a spotlight on the F.B.I.’s Hostage Rescue Team.

Prosecutors say Mr. Astarita, 41, tried to cover up the firing of two shots during the arrest of the activist, LaVoy Finicum, during the confrontation at a remote federal wildlife refuge in January 2016 in Oregon.

Purge of Independent Voices on the Internet Indicate We Are Approaching ‘The Event’

Just days ago, Steve Quayle linked to a video on his website from popular independent videographer SGT Report titled “The Deep State Criminals Just Went ALL IN — THIS IS WAR” which came along with the following video description:

John Brennan, James Clapper, Robert Mueller and James Comey are deep state agents rivaled only in their treachery by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Podesa and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

As the website Shift Frequency tells us about that video, Brennan and the mockingbird mainstream media’s hysteria over Trump’s meeting with Putin illustrates that the deep state is now engaged in all out war against the President, the Constitution and the American people and that President Trump is now seeking to take away the security clearances of Brennan, Clapper, and James Comey among others speaks of clarity.

And with that video going viral for several days, helping to ‘awaken’ even more Americans to the crimes of the corrupted faction of the deep state in America, we weren’t the least bit suprised to wake up Monday morning and find that not only that video but the entire SGT Report youtube channel with their 345,000+subscribers and many viral videos has been completely taken down…

And while none of us know exactly what ‘the event’ might be, it’ll clearly be something huge that the globalists and ‘enemies of America within’ will want the mainstream media to ‘spin’, attempting to vanquish the truth that might come out through the diligent work and research of any number of different members of the independent media such as SGT Report, who picked apart all of the mainstream media’s obvious narratives and various false flag events.

With CNN and other globalists also attempting to get Infowars off of facebook, youtube and the internet all together, what we see unfolding across America with this ‘war’ upon independent media is nothing short of what former Hillary Clinton assistant director of communications Christina Reynolds once said about websites such as Breitbart: “They have no right to exist”. Orwellian to the core.

With the left-wing terrorist group Antifa also using violence to attempt to silence Conservatives from speaking freely proving the orwellian nature of their organization which allegedly was created to stop fascists but is clearly quite fascist in nature, should the globalists within America who hate us be successful at taking away the 1st Amendment, Americans will be quickly herded like sheep to the slaughter as George Washington warned of long ago.

And as Susan Duclos reported on ANP back on July 21st, young children are being indoctrinated into radicalism with ‘kiddie commie camp’ teaching kids how to create Antifa flags, just the latest we’ve learned of radical indoctrination going on with our children and following up upon the dumbing down of kids through the common core education system and our colleges which have been turned into socialist indoctrination institutions.

‘Sisters in Hate’ Join to Raise Money for ‘Muslim Mafia’

Two prominent American Muslim activists known for their hatred of Israel and support for terrorism have teamed up to raise money for a MoveOn.org-style Muslim activist group and the San Francisco chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a D.C.-headquartered group designated as a terrorist organization by an Arab Gulf state.

Linda Sarsour, known as an organizer of the anti-Trump Women’s March, and Zahra Billoo, the director of CAIR’s San Francisco chapter, are co-sponsors of the “#StandWithMuslims to Declare #NoMuslimBanEver” fundraiser that launched the day the U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s ban on travel from seven terror-fomenting countries, including five Muslim-majority nations, reports the Investigative Project on Terrorism.

Sarsour, co-founder of MPower Change, infamously tweeted “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” the idea of a homeland for Jews.

Billoo has defended Hamas rocket attacks against Israel and her chapter’s website posted a graphic telling Muslims to not cooperate with the FBI and build a “wall of resistance.”

As of of July 13, the fundraiser has raised $44,121 of the $50,0000 goal, according to Billoo.

Texas Waiter Admits Inventing Racist Note Story

A Texas waiter whose allegations of racist treatment by a customer became big news has confessed to fabricating the entire incident.

“I did lie to you,” Khalil Cavil, 20, told the Odessa American Monday.

Cavil was employed as a waiter at the Odessa Saltgrass Steak House on July 14 when, he claimed, a customer who ran up a $109 bill refused to give him a tip. Instead, the customer circled his name on the receipt and wrote “We don’t tip terrorist” at the top. Cavil is half black and half white and was, he said, named for a military buddy of his father’s who was killed in an accident.

Watch Pelosi Spin: Trump is Creating “Partisanship in Intelligence” By Revoking Security Clearances of Obama-Intel Officials [Video]

All we have to say about the latest laughable comment from Nancy Pelosi is that she’s got the wrong president. Obama was the president who weaponized government intel to target Trump. This is the height of hypocrisy!

Sarah Sanders announced (see video below) yesterday that President Trump is considering revoking the security clearances of six former Obama intel leaders.

THE OBAMA LEADERS OF INTEL were as crooked as they come! It’s unbelievable that they are still allowed to have security clearances after the lies they’ve told! Heck, Jim Comey was fired! The Democrats are making the claim that former intel leaders need to have access to classified material in case they need to help incoming intel leaders. This is tradition but this tradition needs to end now!

Is the Media Covering Up Toronto Shooter’s Islamic Terrorist Motive?

While the media continues to repeat claims that Toronto shooter Faisel Hussain suffered from “mental illness,” police and intelligence sources are studying information which suggests Hussain’s rampage was an Islamic terrorist attack.

Hussain killed two girls aged 10 and 18 as well as injuring 14 others during the attack along the restaurant-lined streets of Greektown on Sunday night.

After an almost 24 hour delay in releasing his name, as soon as Hussain was publicly identified, his family immediately released a statement that sounded like it had been written by a lawyer asserting that the killer’s carnage was motivated by nothing other than mental illness and depression.

The mainstream media immediately ran with this narrative and pushed any speculation that the shooting was a terror attack to the fringes.

Bavarian Town Rejects Turkish Mosque Proposal in Local Referendum

Local residents in the Bavarian town of Kaufbeuren have voted to reject a proposal from the Turkish-German Muslim association to build a new mosque in the area.

The referendum, which took place on Sunday, saw 27 percent of the electorate of the town participate, above the 20 percent threshold for the vote to become legally valid, Die Weltreports.

A total of 59.6 percent of voters rejected the proposal, on which the local government began negotiations last November, that would have seen the Turkish-Islamic Cultural Association (DITIB) given around a 54,000 square foot plot of land to build a new mosque on a 99-year lease.

According to a report by The Guardian, Soros, who has backed leftist candidates and causes both in the US and abroad, has given more than $562,000 to the Best for Britain campaign that aims to negate the results of the Brexit referendum and maintain Britain’s membership in the EU.

France: Alexandre Benalla: The Rambo at the Center of ‘Macron’s Watergate’

Emmanuel Macron’s presidency is being battered by its worst scandal so far and at the center of it is the protester-beating bodyguard Alexandre Benalla, a young man with a surprisingly successful career.

On May 1, a man wearing a police helmet was filmed roughing up unarmed protesters at an anti-Macron rally in Paris. In mid-July, he was identified as Macron’s bodyguard Benalla. This has given rise to a scandal that could swell up to what the opposition called “Watergate level,” with French politicians baffled by the lengths to which Macron’s team has gone to protect the bodyguard.

Polish Senate Speaker: We Are Not Anti-Europe

Deutsche Welle: The European Union — in particular the European Commission — accuses Poland of undermining the separation of powers. There is also considerable criticism of the Supreme Court reforms. How do you rate the accusations?

Stanislaw Karczewski: I understand the interest in the reforms of our judicial system. I can assure you that in Poland, we respect the threefold division of powers. At the same time, however, we believe that the judiciary should be controlled in the same way as the legislative and executive branches. I would also like to point out that it is not the European Union, but only some EU politicians who have been directing such accusations against Poland.

Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans’ criticism of our judicial reform is certainly associated with the difficult political situation in the Netherlands. He is losing support there and apparently wants to regain political support through his activities before the next European elections.

We, the PiS party, announced the current judicial reform in our election platform. We are now implementing it step by step and we have a great deal of support in society.

Steve Bannon’s idea to set up a Soros-styled NGO to prop up Europe’s right-wing parties has caused quite a stir among liberals and the left, who rushed to accuse the former Trump advisor of planning an “attack on democracy.”

Bannon’s new non-profit organization, blandly dubbed ‘The Movement’ is set to establish itself in Brussels and would bring together right-wing parties from across Europe. The former chief advisor of Donald Trump unveiled the plan last week, seeking to provide like-minded parties with the support of think tanks, the organization of polls and valuable insights on data-targeting.

Minorities Face Daunting Challenge in Pakistan Election Ruled Under Political Islam

In Pakistan’s elections, Hindu-Sikh-Christian-Shia-Ahmadi minorities face daunting challenge of Islamic threat.

Kathy Gannon | AP | Islamabad | July 23, 2018:: As Pakistan heads into parliamentary elections this week, the country’s minorities are looking for better representation and a voice that will speak up for them in what rights groups warn is in an increasingly intolerant atmosphere in this Muslim-majority nation.

It’s an uphill struggle for Pakistani Christians, Sikhs, Ahmadis and others. Minority religions make up just 4 percent of Pakistan’s 200 million people; Shiites account for about 15 to 20 percent of the Muslim population.

The country’s complicated electoral system allots minorities and women a small number of “reserved” seats, based on their parties’ gains at the polls.

Socialist Nicaragua is Quickly Becoming as Big a Dumpster Fire as Venezuela

Before there was Chavista Venezuela, there was Sandinista Nicaragua.

We’ve told you a lot in recent months about how bad things have gotten in Venezuela, as socialist thug Nicolas Maduro uses brute force to hang onto power even as the economy completely collapses and the population struggles to lay its hands on basic daily needs. When clueless American socialists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tout the promise of socialism in America, those of us who know better point to what’s going on in Venezuela.

Maybe that’s why you’re not hearing much about the turmoil in Nicaragua. The media do not want to give conservatives yet one more example to point to, and many of them are probably still invested in the 1980s narrative of Ortega as a heroic man of the people.

But Nicaragua is quickly devolving into as big a dumpster fire as Venezuela, with Ortega increasingly isolated, the public in an uproar and foreigners fearing for their safety. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the inevitable product of socialism, and no one should be surprised it’s come to this:

Police detained 2,376 illegal immigrants in the Czech Republic in the first six months of 2018, the interior ministry said in a quarterly migration report released on Tuesday. Most were from Ukraine, Moldova and Russia.

The report noted an annual rise of only 132 illegal immigrants being detained in January through June, signalling that the situation has stabilised since the migrant crisis of 2015/2016.

In terms of so-called transiting illegal migration across the Czech Republic, the ministry noted just 124 cases, of whom 69 were from Iraq, 15 from Nigeria and 10 from Syria.

EU Offers Member States Money to Admit Rescued Migrants

The European Union proposed Tuesday financial incentives to member countries to admit migrants from Mediterranean rescue boats as part of efforts to defuse a weeks-long showdown with Italy.

The proposals expand on those agreed at a fractious EU summit last month to respond to the decision by Italy’s new populist government to turn away such vessels.

The European Commission proposed offering volunteering EU countries funds to set up and run centres on their territory to determine whether people qualify for asylum in Europe or should be sent home as economic migrants.

The Commission, the 28-nation EU’s executive arm, also proposed giving any volunteer countries in the bloc 6,000 euros for every asylum seeker they admit from those “controlled centres.”

Italian Bishop: I Would be Willing to Turn All Churches Into Mosques if it Were Useful to Save Migrants

An Italian bishop is willing to see an end to Christianity and the dominion of Islam if it meant saving migrants’ lives, Italian media report

Former bishop of Caserta, Raffaele Nogaro said earlier this month: “Morally and as a man of faith I would be willing to turn all churches into mosques if it were useful to the cause and if it helped to save the lives of poor and unhappy men and women, because Christ did not come to earth to build churches but to help men regardless of race, religion, or nationality”.

Italian Priest Says Anti-Immigration Matteo Salvini is ‘The Antichrist’

A Catholic priest has used some of the strongest language to date in condemning Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, assuring the faithful that “we have before us the antichrist.”

Preaching in the crypt of Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, Father Alex Zanotelli told worshipers Sunday that they must resist the new immigration policies of the Italian government and urge the police to practice “civil disobedience to block the deportation of persons back to countries where their lives are at risk.”

Spain’s New Socialist Government Has Caused an Explosion of Illegal Crossings

As expected, the shift in Spain’s government from centre-right to a left-far left coalition has dramatically increased the attractiveness of the country as a migrant port of entry into Europe. The immigrants are now receiving aid that not even Spanish citizens are offered.

Last weekend alone, 1200 immigrants were rescued off 48 precarious boats locally termed “pateras” that were travelling across the Strait of Gibraltar and the Sea of Albora

Sweden Invests Millions to Teach Migrants How to Have Sex ‘With Blonde Women’

The Swedish government wants to allocate 5 million Swedish crowns (around half a million euros) in migrant sex courses, news outlet Fria Tider reports. A portion of the money will be spent on the government’s sex information website “Youmo”, which provides translation in Arabic, Somali and Dari.

The goal of the website is to teach migrants “health, sexuality and gender equality”. On the website, sex information is illustrated, among other things, with several pictures of foreign men with blonde, Swedish women.

Under the tab “Being in love”, illustrated by a picture of a young blonde woman kissing a dark-skinned man, one can read, among other things, that “Being in love is usually a lovely feeling. Some people have been in love many times, others have never been in love. “

[Comment: Sweden is furthest along in implementation of the Kalergi plan.]

  1. The mother and father of the three year old boy in acid attack now reported as Afgan refugees ; the attackers were Roma hired by the father who has been arrested.

  2. Wouldn’t the 6000€ per migrant come from taxpayers of the EU? Who gave them the right to use that money that way? Shouldn’t that money be used to make the lives of Europeans better, not worse and dangerous? Don’t we have enough of our own people in need, who that money could be used for? Wouldn’t it make more sense to use that money to promote childbirth and young families among Europeans? Why should Europe act as the World’s saviour? Most EU states never had colonies, they don’t need to carry that burden. And those countries that did have colonies no longer have a reason to support their former lands either. It’s been 70 years, if the amount of help those countries received up until now didn’t help, no amount will. Europe is not a nursery for manchildren unable to take care of themselves.

    *Those are rethoric questions, I am well aware the EU doesn’t have the best interest of Europeans in mind nor heart.

  3. The deal will include €6,000 for every migrant whose asylum application is accepted. However, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini responded by saying, “We don’t need charity!”

    They want to fool us, that zeropa is giving us money to pay for the migrant hotels and vacation bills. That is a real big [item of untruth]. Because who is paying this money is not zeropa, but eruopean taxpayers again (there are no free money in this world). They lie telling to us “we are giving money to you for the migrants, you are going to get rich!”, while it is us who are giving the zerocracy the money with taxation. I would not call it charity, but just the continuation of this scam. In the past years I have heard many time this story, about it is a good business to take more migrants in and put them in hotels, because zeropa is paying for them, so it is a kind of “sustainable” business. This is so absurd ! That money is still paid by countries of zeropa and its taxpayer, there are no free money for anybody, except for the traitors making money from this business.

    • A whole 6000 huh?

      That’s like giving a home owner a voucher for a small coke the next time they go to McDonalds in exchange for not pressing charges against a burglar who just caused several thousand dollars worth of damage to their home.

  4. “Christ did not come to earth to build churches but to help men regardless of race, religion, or nationality”. – this “adogmatic christianity” of nowadays, that transfers Jesus from Nazareth, the Son of the Living God into some sort of “abolish ICE” social justice warrior…

    • Christ did not come to help men regardless of race, religion, or nationality, but to fulfill the will of God the Father who is in Heaven.

      Of special interest to him are probably ‘the lost sheep of Israel, not only Judah, but all 12 tribes. Yet he would help people who had great faith, the Centurion or even a woman of Canaan.

      Mathew 15

      22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

      23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

      24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

      25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

      26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.

      27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters ‘table.

      28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

    • That man is not a Roman Catholic. He may be a bishop in the Church, but to so stupidly and scandalously misrepresent why Jesus incarnated … well, he can’t be a believing Roman Catholic. He makes a mockery of our Faith.

      Christ DID come to build “my church” … so that we would have the means to salvation, after He ascended – and Salvation, like His Kingdom – is “not of this world.”

    • Of course Western Europe is no longer Christian so this is quite irrelevant and the Church should stay out of politics. They certainly don’t weigh in these days to support morality and I don’t recall the Catholics or the main protestant churches speaking out against the excesses of the Moslem communities.

      Interestingly the countries with higher support for the church by younger people are the more conservative and anti-mass immigration countries like Hungary and Poland.

  5. So Benalla was police reservist as well after all, previous reports said never was

    If you want an idea of where Spain’s new government stands on migration

    is a neutral presentation of government statements by a left leaning work lawyer.

    On EU payment to accept migrants :

    They take money off Spanish, and then hand it back with migrants attached. I cannot believe the population are so stupid, therefore they must just be greedy and cannot see beyond €€€€$£€¥ , or even they just praise flattening tradition and think they deserve to be paid for doing so. So much corruption in Spain.

  6. ‘ However, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini responded by saying, “We don’t need charity!” ‘

    Salvini seems to have some common sense like Wilders and Orban. Who would make people aware that begging, except for physically , is a big dishonour. There are a few things better than life. You sacrifice your life to protect your home, family, friends and your country: That’s why inviting colonizers is treasonous and dispatching them is the greatest honour.

    Look and observe : No muslim country has let one single colonizer in their country. Take Algeria, for example, it did everything to kick the French out permanently, proud they made it too hot and bitter for the French to stay, martyring one million souls seeking 72 houris.

    Look at France, The French are making France as sweet and cosy as possible for muslims and Algerians to stay there permanently and master the benighted French.

    • Well, the difference is that in the current year, even after as many invasions and invaders that Algeria has suffered in the past, the Algerians still have a strong sense of pride in themselves as a people.

      Looking around France and the French, one wonders what they presently take pride in. Celebrating the godless, degenerate, alternative lifestyles that will lead to their extinction?

  7. Dear God, how insane do they think we are? Why on earth would we literally pay for hordes of young men who have absolutely zero affinity or understanding of our culture to set up home here for free? One just has to look around Western Europe to see what an abysmal failure this has been. They trot out the odd, and it is odd, success story of a Muslim family, but in reality, we all know only too well that the Africans are coming to live the good life and the Muslims are coming to bolster the already rapidly growing Umma.

  8. The story about the immivader football tourney being cancelled due to immivader violence perfectly encapsulates the absurdity of the failed multicultural West.

    Heck, they even manage to get a few money quotes from an elderly goodwhite that is, “concerned about the lives of the players.”

  9. The ISIS returnees are a vile symptom of the consequence-free society that the West has created.

    Their passports should have been declared null-and-void and their holders declared traitors. Upon their attempted return to the West, the traitors should have been detained and processed for swift execution.

  10. The 6.000€ the idiots in Brussels want to “give” to the countries that accept illegal immigrants would be much better used in buying the plane tickets to send them back.

  11. Those of us that have the misfortune at this time to live in an EU country may remember back about 4/5 years ago our dear leader Jean-Claude Junker came up with the absurd proposal that all EU countries would take in a quota of migrants!! He seemed to think this was perfectly normal and quite ok …. but he found out that only one or two countries agreed. So later on he had to try and enforce his plan saying that any country that wouldn’t take their quota, would be fined a considerable sum for every migrant they refused. Great way of making lots more money for the EU aparatchiks to squander on their lavish, luxury lifestyle. Fortunately the countries still refused to accept this quota idea, saying to him ‘you can fine us as much as you want … but you will have to send in your EU army to get the money’. So that idea fell apart.

    Now the policy is completely reversed. EU countries will be GIVEN money if you take in a migrant!! The Eurocrats still continue to try to solve the problem by using the same stupidity that got themselves into this mess in the first place.
