Merkel Warns of Worldwide Financial Crisis
BERLIN —— German Chancellor Angela Merkel raised the specter of a new global financial crisis as she warned of the potential fallout from a trade war with the U.S., saying tariffs on European cars would be “much more serious” than levies on steel and aluminum.
In an address to Germany’s lower house of parliament Wednesday, Merkel cited President Donald Trump’s threat of targeting U.S. imports of cars from Europe, which risk hitting Germany the hardest. She backed efforts by the European Union and U.S. negotiators to reach a deal this month.
“The international financial crisis, which ensured that we now act in the framework of the (Group of 20), would never have been resolved so quickly, despite the pain, if we hadn’t cooperated in a multilateral fashion in the spirit of comradeship,” Merkel said. “This has to happen.”
As the leader of Europe’s biggest economy, Merkel underscored her resolve to fight for the survival of post-World War II global institutions under attack by the Trump administration. At the same time, she renewed her counterattack against U.S. criticism of German exports by saying that the U.S. has a trade surplus with the EU if services are included…

Chair of the DNC Claims Socialist Candidate is ‘The Future of Our Party’ [Video]
How interesting that just recently Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison claimed that DNC Chair Tom Perez needed vision to run the party. Well, here’s your vision…DNC chair Tom Perez said in an interview on the “Bill Press Show” that Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is “the future of the party.”
Perez was a guest with Bill Press when he brought up Ocasio-Cortez’s defeat of Democrat leader Joe Crowley to become the nominee for New York’s 14th Congressional District: “Twenty-eight years old, never ran for office before, big progressive. Calls herself a democratic socialist, actually, like Bernie Sanders did, she was a Bernie Sanders reporter.”
Well, that’s one way to destroy the party! Perez is a seasoned radical with connections to La Raza so socialism is right in his wheelhouse. He wants the direction of the party to go even more towards the radical left…
[Comment: Democrat Party is a full blown Communist Party.]

FBI Set up the Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting
According to a report by the Inspector General (IG) the FBI set up the now infamous Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting. Buried in the IG report of the FBI’s conduct during the 2016 election comes the revelation.
On page 203, it’s revealed that the “impromptu” meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix, which was supposedly just a meet up of two very famous Democrats with private jets, was actually set up by Clinton’s Secret Service detail and the FBI.
The 30-minute meeting on June 27, 2016, came just days before the Department of Justice was set to conclude its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for communications that included classified documents, reported the Conservative Tribune. Clinton maintained the tarmac meeting was just a standard meeting and nothing in it was important enough for him to postpone his flight for.

Gmail App Developers Have Been Reading Your Emails
It’s a common practice that’s gone largely unnoticed
Wall Street Journal highlighted today. Gmail’s access settings allows data companies and app developers to see people’s emails and view private details, including recipient addresses, time stamps, and entire messages. And while those apps do need to receive user consent, the consent form isn’t exactly clear that it would allow humans — and not just computers — to read your emails.
Google told The Verge that it only gives data to vetted third-party developers and with users’ explicit consent. The vetting process involves checking whether a company’s identity is correctly represented by its app, its privacy policy states that it will monitor emails, and the data that the company is requesting makes sense for what the company does. An email app, for instance, should get access to Gmail. Some developers have applied for access to Gmail but have not been granted permission, although the company won’t say how many.
Google employees may also read emails but only in “very specific cases where you ask us to and give consent, or where we need to for security purposes, such as investigating a bug or abuse,” the company stated to the WSJ.

Harley-Davidson CEO: Outsourcing ‘Reversible’ If Trump Folds on Trade
Harley-Davidson’s CEO Matthew Levatich has reportedly told lawmakers on Capitol Hill the only way the iconic American motorcycle company will stop outsourcing jobs to foreign countries is if President Trump drops his fair trade agenda.
In an interview with Politico, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) revealed that he spoke to Levatich about the company’s recent announcement that they would be continuing to outsource their American manufacturing base to foreign countries.
Harley-Davidson executives have blamed Trump’s tariffs on imported steel and aluminum as the reason for their outsourcing of American jobs, but as Breitbart News reported, the company has been offshoring U.S. jobs for at least a year.
[Comment: Rubbish. Harley management have long range plans to off shore. Plans were/are being implemented long before Trump came on the scene. They are just trying to put the blame on Trump instead of acknowledging their modern bikes are overpriced and unreliable.]

Ocasio-Cortez Buried Under More Than 1,000 Media Requests After Primary Win
The democratic socialist who won a June primary election to unseat the No. 4 Democrat in the House is apparently still working on responding to more than 1,000 media requests her campaign staff have received since her victory.
A spokesman for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told the Daily Beast’s Gideon Resnick that the campaign is “over 1,000 emails deep” with press requests one week after the 28-year-old defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) in the June 26 Democratic primary.
Ocasio-Cortez responded to a tweet from Resnick, confirming the figure and adding that she faced another 600 unread text messages, some apparently including requests for interviews, on her personal phone…

Watch: Cops Beat, Arrest Innocent PhD Student, Accusing Him of Stealing His Own Car
All too often, those who blindly support authority without question will say, ‘If you don’t want to get beat up by police, don’t break the law.’ However, time after time after time, they are proven wrong — often in the worst way. Lawrence Crosby is proof that not breaking the law is not protection against getting hurt by police as he was beaten and arrested by cops who thought he’d stolen his own car.
Although this scenario unfolded on October 10, 2015, the infuriating and brutal dashcam video wasn’t released until later and now, Crosby is speaking out in an Op-Ed in the Washington Post. What this situation shows is nothing short of incompetence, brutality, and the viciousness of more than a half-dozen of Evanston’s finest.
“This isn’t the story that I expected to be telling at this point in my life, having just received my doctorate from one of the top schools in the country. The bigger story of my life is growing up without knowing my father, losing my mother to illness when I was 8 and becoming a ward of the state,” Crosby aptly noted in his piece.
Crosby is not a criminal. In fact, he’s an upstanding citizen and accomplished engineering student who was on his way to night school to complete his doctorate at Northwestern University that night. However, in today’s see something, say something society, not even innocent doctoral candidates are safe from police abuse.
At around 7:00 pm that night, Crosby was working on his car when a woman drove by. Seeing a black man working on his car was enough to trigger this do-gooder into calling the cops and then apparently following him.
“Hi somebody’s trying to break into, somebody’s trying to break into a car,” the woman told the dispatcher. “I think the person just got into the car.”
Not knowing that he’d just been reported for stealing his own car, Crosby began his drive to campus from his apartment. However, as his own private dashcam shows, Crosby quickly noticed something fishy and he began heading to the police station to report the fact that someone, most likely the woman who reported him, was following him.
However, he did not make it to the station. Cops pulled Crosby over in a church parking lot and all hell broke loose.

All of the anger that has been building up on the left is about to boil over onto the streets of America. Actually, to be more accurate, it has already started. Last weekend, the streets of Portland, Oregon were filled with violence as radical progressives and Trump supporters fought tooth and nail. And as I wrote about yesterday, Michael Moore and other leftist leaders are calling on progressives to “rise up” and to “put their lives on the line” to defend this country against “fascists” like Donald Trump. The Senate confirmation hearings for Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court will be a flashpoint which will focus much of the energy on Washington D.C., but the truth is that we are going to see protests, violence and confrontations all over the nation during this “summer of rage”. Recent polls have shown that many Americans anticipate that violence is on the horizon, and that is precisely what they are going to get.
Of course Nebraska is one of the last places that you would think something would happen, but on Monday night we received a chilling reminder that it can happen anywhere.
A brick was thrown through a window at the Republican Party headquarters in Lincoln, and underneath the broken window a message was spray-painted. The following comes from the Daily Caller…

High Level of Job Insecurity in Italy — OECD
Italy 3rd for unemployment, positive jobs trend will continue
(ANSA) — Paris, July 4 — There is a high level of insecurity in the Italian labour market, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said Wednesday, placing Italy fourth on the issue behind Greece, Spain and Turkey.
The OECD also placed Italy third for unemployment but said that a “positive trend in employment” would continue.
Real incomes will however fall, it said.
Less than one out of 10 unemployed Italians gets any form of benefit, the organisation said.
OECD chief Angel Gurria said the Jobs Act labour market reform, which the government i set to overhaul, was a “huge” achievement and Italy “should preserve it”.
The OECD added that there was “much to be done” to improve the precarious nature of much work in Italy.
It also said the government should try to free up a “rigid” jobs market.

The electrical stun guns will be tested in Milan, Naples, Turin, Bologna, Florence, Palermo, Catania, Padua, Caserta, Reggio Emilia and Brindisi. “It is a non-lethal weapon of dissuasion and its use is an important deterrent especially for security operators who patrol the streets and who may find themselves in borderline situations,” Salvini said.

Italy: Gambling Ad Ban ‘Sign of Civility’ — CEI
Church has been fighting gambling addiction
(ANSA) — Rome, July 4 — The Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI) on Wednesday hailed the government’s new ban on advertising for gambling as a “sign of civility”. CEI spokesman Father Ivan Maffeis recalled the Church’s work against gambling addiction and said “we welcome as a sign of civility the government decree that puts an end to ads on gambling”.
Father Maffeis said “too many families have been ruined by this scourge”.
He highlighted that the Church had been combating gambling addiction through various charities and the bishops’ newspaper Avvenire.
The government’s so-called ‘dignity decree’ aims to curb advertising on gambling and stop top actors and personalities fronting ads.
Italy has seen a surge in gambling addiction despite a fall in purchasing power over the last few years.

Italy: Some 5.5 Mn Pensioners on Under 1,000 Euros — INPS
REI benefit will only go to 29% of poor — social security agency
(ANSA) — Rome, July 4 — INPS said Wednesday that 5.548 million pensioners were on less than 1,000 euros a month in Italy in 2017. The pensions and social security agency said this group made up 35.9% of the total of 15.477 million pensioners. It said that around 1.114 million, 7.2% of the total, were on State pensions of over 3,000 euros a month.
INPS estimated that the REI benefit for poor households would go to 1.462 million people, or 525 families, when it is fully operative.
It said this means that it would go to only 29% of the five million people living in absolute poverty in Italy.
INPS said that the REI benefit could cover almost all of the people in absolute poverty in Italy if another 6.2 billion euros were allocated to it.

10 in 12 Rapists in Denmark of Migration Background
Ten out of every 12 rapists in Denmark are either migrants, foreigners, or come from migrant backgrounds, according to an investigation by Danish media.
The figures come from a study of rape cases from January 2016 to May 2017 and looked specifically at cases in which the victim did not know their attacker, Danish tabloid BT reports.
According to the study carried out by the newspaper, there were 12 convictions for rape in which the attacker was a stranger to their victim and in those 12 cases, 10 of the attackers came from migrant backgrounds or were immigrants.
The tabloid claims that the convicted rapists came from a variety of countries including Eastern European nations such as Bulgaria and Macedonia as well as countries outside of Europe like Somalia, Iraq, and Eritrea.

Italy: Boeri ‘On Mars’ If Thinks More Migrants Needed — Salvini
Interior minister says INPS chief practising politics
(ANSA) — Rome, July 4 — Interior Minister and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini on Wednesday blasted INPS chief Tito Boeri for saying Italy needed more legal immigration for the sustainability of its pension system. “(Boeri says that) more migrants are needed to pay the pensions, that scrapping the Fornero (pension reform) would cost too much, that more migrants are needed to do the many jobs that Italian people no longer want to do,” said Salvini, who is also deputy premier and leader of the rightwing League party.
“The INPS president continues to practise politics, ignoring the desire to work (and have children) of many Italians.

Merkel’s “Common Goal” Hypocrisy Exposed: Deal With CSU Still Not Final
The subtitle to the feature image is quite telling.
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany leaving a meeting of the Christian Democratic Union in Berlin early Monday. “We share a common goal in migration policy,” the party said in a statement. “We want to order, control and limit migration to Germany.”
Say what?
When did this become Germany’s goal? And what about refugee camps in Africa, with no African nation agreeing?
The New York Times reports Merkel, to Survive, Agrees to Border Camps for Migrants…
Agreement? Really?
So, not only does the SPD have a say in this matter, so does Austria.
Merkel repeatedly makes deals that are not hers to make. In fact, this crisis stems from precisely that fact. “We can do this.”
Well, no you can’t, and didn’t.

Italy: Court Accepts Lesbian Couple’s Fertility Suit

The Constitutional Court will now assess the appeal, judging if the ban is in line with Constitutional principles.
There have been a number of similar cases in Italy.

“Also, Tito Boeri, the head of the Italian pension service, said that Italy needed more immigrants to sustain its pension system. Mr. Salvini responded by saying, “Where does he live, on Mars?””
Boeri’s claim. Of course, the acid test to support that absurd claim would be for all benefits to be removed and to then see how many migrants remain in the country, let alone those who would actually take paid employment in order to support Italy’s pension system.
I think that those who still possess their mental faculties know very well the answer to that one!!
Salvini’s response. Absolutely brilliant!
” Tito Boeri, the head of the Italian pension service, said that Italy needed more immigrants to sustain its pension system.”
Ah, the old aging demographic argument. Didn’t Merkel say something similar, or was it “who will build those future BMWs?” Problem is statistics will show most of the Libya exiting migrants don’t contribute to the tax take in the countries they move to, with limited employable skills even if they wanted a job. These are the wrong sort of migrants to replace aging skilled workers in 1st world countries. These people will have great difficulty ever landing a job. But liberal bureaucrats like Tito don’t want to hear common sense.
And they miss the point that a shrinking population is going to need fewer cars.
That is the main flaw in any state welfare system carried to its logical end result. Thus, if your government is going to guarantee to support your mere existence, why bother with the trouble of raising children?
Meanwhile the incoming 3rd world migrants are determined to have lots of children; it’s part of their culture, even if educating said offspring isn’t on their agenda.
They miss the part where current pensions do not go up despite pensioners struggling with inflation while giving billions away to immigrants who go straight on welfare.
If they invested all the money used on these foreign welfare cases they could more easily pay out pensions in the future.
In short, if Frau Merkel can’t cheat in defense spending and in trade, she cannot keep office and drive her infernal immigration policies that so please fellow Leftist George Soros?
Bring on the trade war!!!
