Communists Planning Armed Insurrection on Twitter
Communist agitators took to Twitter this week to brainstorm strategies for a violent armed insurrection against their perceived enemies, Far Left Watch reported.
“Dr. Bones,” the co-host of the far-left podcast The Guillotine, started the conversation going with his 5,000-plus Twitter followers. Bones (@Ole_Bonsey on Twitter) asked: “Hey quick little question for military minded lefties: should leftists train/organize in a ‘insurgent’ focus where they blend into a civilian population for potential attacks or a more ‘militia’ structure focused on holding/maintaining turf?”

Cory Booker, Dems Defeated in Kavanaugh Hearing Despite Orgy of Leaks, Lies, Smears
Welcome, ladies and rapists, to Washington, D.C. — your nation’s capital — where sterling reputations come to die.
Whether you are a man or a woman, a Democrat or a Republican, a conservative or a liberal, we can all agree that this place has become a sewer of lies, a cesspool of indiscriminate human destruction. All in the name of a blood sport called partisan politics, played by the most dishonest vipers ever found under the earth.
The only bright speck in the whole circus of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings has been the honorable behavior of Republicans on the SenateJudiciary Committee. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, bent over backward to accommodate a woman who came forward with alarming accusations against Judge Kavanaugh.

Ethanol in Gasoline is a Boon for Farmers, But Rips Off American Consumers
Multiple industries have long warned about the risks of higher-ethanol fuels like E15 (15 percent ethanol), which extensive testing shows can damage engines and fuel systems.
Nearly three out of every four vehicles on the road today are not designed for E15 gasoline, and a number of automakers have even said that E15 may cause damage that is not covered by warranties.
It’s not just cars. Consumer groups warn that E15 is incompatible with lawnmowers, motorcycles, ATVs, power equipment and boats, and many of these consumers opt for fuel that is entirely ethanol free (E0).
With so many drawbacks, who’s asking for more ethanol in fuel? Not consumers.
The Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America and National Association of Convenience Stores say “most retailers that sell E15 or E85 have seen minimal sales of these products.”
By contrast, “there’s a significant demand in the market” for “non-blended gasoline” or E0.

Facebook Discovered Security Breach Affecting 50 Million Accounts, Stock Slides
Facebook said that on September 25 it discovered a security breach which affected almost 50 million accounts. The company said it’s investigating the breach, which allowed hackers to take over a person’s account.
In the statement, Facebook said that “attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted ‘View As’, a feature that lets people see what their own profile looks like to someone else. This allowed them to steal Facebook access tokens which they could then use to take over people’s accounts. Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that keep people logged in to Facebook so they don’t need to re-enter their password every time they use the app.”

Is Rudy Giuliani Selling Out America to a Marxist Muslim Religious Cult?
The group itself was founded in 1965. Its name means “People’s Holy Warriors,” derived from its Marxist/populist roots and its religiosity. It was not unlike the Taliban which developed in adjacent Afghanistan. During the 1970’s, it rebelled against the Shah and was involved in the bombing and shooting American targets. It executed U.S. Army Lt. Col. Lewis Hawkins in 1973 as he was walking home from the U.S. Embassy and in 1975 they killed two American Air Force officers in their chauffer driven car, an incident that was studied and used in CIA training subsequently as an example of how not to get caught and killed by terrorists. Between 1976 and 1978 the group bombed American commercial targets and killed three Rockwell defense contractors and one Texaco executive.
Mr. Giuliani repeatedly states that they are the most organized opposition group against the Mullahs. Yes, they are organized terrorists. Most Islamic terrorist organizations are organized. Just look at all the Muslim organizations within the US, CAIR; MAS, ICNA etc.…all of them are well funded and organized. They have been dedicated cultist terrorists then and now. People need to study cultism and see their dedication to the cult leader.
Just because the US has a few cult members working for them within the IRI compound and occasionally, they share intelligence with US officials, it does not make them suitable for Iran or make them wonderful people. We cannot replace turban headed Islamist terrorists Mullahs with Marxist cultist terrorists. They are birds of a feather. They are no different than the savage Muslims who kill for the sake of Allah. The MEK is a cultist Marxist group while also is devout Muslims.

The Arch of Baal Was Put up in Washington D.C. One Day Before Brett Kavanaugh Testified to Congress
Is it just a coincidence that the “Arch of Baal” has been erected in Washington D.C. on the exact same week that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford are testifying before Congress? The future of the U.S. Supreme Court is literally hanging in the balance, and many believe that it is quite odd that this ancient pagan symbol has been put up at this precise moment in time. According to the official website of the Institute for Digital Archaeology, the Arch of Palmyra was unveiled on the National Mall on September 26th, and it will remain there until September 29th. You can view a photograph of the arch standing directly in front of the U.S. Capitol building right here. Just one day after this arch was put up, Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified before Congress. Perhaps this is all just a “giant coincidence”, but things of this importance usually don’t
happen by accident.
The elite deeply understand that symbols have power, and the fact that the Arch of Baal has been placed directly across from the U.S. Capitol is highly significant.
Jonathan Cahn, the author of The Paradigm, has pointed out that Baal was a god of power, fertility and child sacrifice. In this video, he makes a very strong connection between what was going on during the era of Baal worship and what is taking place in America right now.
(…)
No other ancient deity is mentioned more often than Baal in the Bible. And ultimately, the worship of Baal can be traced back all the way to ancient Babylon, which was the center of the very first “New World Order” in ancient times.
Child sacrifice was absolutely central to the worship of Baal. When it was time for another ceremony, unwanted babies would be gathered and burned alive. The following comes from an article by Matt Barber…

Why Would the Pentagon Give Amazon SJWs the Keys to the Kingdom?
The Defense Department wants to give a sole-source single cloud provider a long-term contract worth up to $10 billion. “We are looking for an industry partner who will learn with us and help us find the best ways to bring foundational commercial capabilities to our warfighters,” the Pentagon’s chief information officer says.
Note the singular — “an industry partner,” not “industry partners.” That potential partner appears to be Amazon Web Services (AWS). It’s so clear, in fact, that when details of the agreement came out this year, a potential rival bidder told Vanity Fair’s May Jeong: “Everybody immediately knew that it was for Amazon.” The “request for proposals” (RFP) includes provisions tailored for Amazon.
There is potentially far more at stake than the usual waste of taxpayer dollars.
Why not consider using multiple providers, as many private companies do — and, parenthetically, as the law generally requires? Possibly because somebody in the chain of command wants to reward Amazon — assuredly because Amazon will reward him, because that is how crony capitalism’s perpetual cycle of professional back-scratching works.
[Comment: top secret information in a private company’s cloud. What could possibly go wrong? This concept is so stupid in terms of security. It is just a matter of time befor ethis is breached. ]

Bulgaria and Czech Republic Vow to Defend Hungary Against Article 7
Bulgaria and Czech Republic have both stated that will show solidarity with Hungary over the European Parliament’s invocation of Article 7, initiated on account of Hungary’s alleged systematic breaches of the rule of law.
On September 12, members of the European Parliament voted to trigger Article 7 against Hungary by an overwhelming majority, citing serious problems with judicial independence, refugee rights and press freedom in the country. Article 7 proceedings could conclude with Hungary losing its voting rights in the European Council.
Krasimir Karakachanov, deputy prime minister of Bulgaria, declared on behalf of the country’s United Patriot coalition that the cabinet does not support the European Parliament’s decision. “Invoking Article 7 amounts to infringing the sovereignty of a member state. One day it’s Hungary, tomorrow they prepare for Poland, and one day this can hit Bulgaria,” said Mr Karakachanov.

Pope’s Silence Confirms Allegations’ Says Viganò
Francis mishandled claims — former envoy in new letter
(ANSA) — Vatican City, September 28 — The archbishop who accused Pope Francis of mishandling sexual misconduct allegations in the Catholic Church has said the pontiff’s silence confirms that he knew but kept quiet in a new letter. In the letter published by conservative Catholic website ‘Lifesitenews’, symbolically dated September 29, the liturgical feast of St. Michael the Archangel, Carlo Maria Viganò, the former Vatican ambassador to the United States, said that the Vatican’s silence on the dossier he has presented on sexual misconduct is proof his allegations are true.
“The pope’s unwillingness to respond to my charges and his deafness to the appeals by the faithful for accountability are hardly consistent with his calls for transparency and bridge building,” Vigano wrote.
“Moreover, the pope’s cover-up of McCarrick was clearly not an isolated mistake”, he also wrote. “Many more instances have recently been documented in the press, showing that Pope Francis has defended homosexual clergy who committed serious sexual abuses against minors or adults”.
Vigano, who served as Vatican ambassador from 2011-2016, has emerged as a controversial figure since accusing the Pope and top Vatican officials of weaving a “conspiracy of silence”, in another public statement published earlier this month.
In the first letter, the archbishop urged Pope Francis to resign, saying he was part of a “cover-up” involving former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, whom the Pope forced to step down after accusations of sexual misconduct with seminarians and claims that he abused a minor in the 1970s. In an interview published Friday by Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano, Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, the president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI) said the dossier on the pontiff is “absurd”.
“The pope was right in not having an immediate reaction, but there are elements to take apart these falsehoods,” he said.

Priest Denies Rimini Playboy King Funeral
Ceremony moved to another church
(ANSA) — Rimini, September 28 — The local parish priest has denied Rimini beach ‘playboy king’ Maurizio ‘Zanza’ Zanfanti a funeral after he died aged 63 of a heart attack after sex with a 23-year-old eastern European friend and escort, local sources said Friday.
Zanza’s send-off has therefore been moved to Rimini’s monumental cemetery.
The local priest said he did not want to officiate because of the “media hype” surrounding the sex symbol’s death.
The beach lothario, who said he seduced up to 200 Scandinavian, German and British tourists “with kindness” every summer and had a career total of over 6,000 notches on his bedpost, was once featured in a two-page spread in Germany’s Bild magazine.

We Don’t Want Clash With EU — Di Maio
Debt will come down, not worried about spread, bourse- minister
(ANSA) — Rome, September 28 — Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Friday that the government was not looking for a fight with the European Commission after announcing it will let Italy’s deficit-to-GDP ratio rise to 2.4% next year. “Now dialogue will start with the EU and the big private investors and we do not intend to have a clash,” 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Di Maio said.
He said European Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici’s warning about debt was part of that dialogue.
“The concerns are legitimate, but the government is committed to keeping the deficit-to-GDP ratio at 2.4% and we want to pay the debt… the debt will come down,” Di Maio said. A deficit of 2.4% is well above the target of 1.6% for 2018 that the Commission agreed with the previous centre-left government and three-times the 0.8% deficit pencilled in for 2019.
Technocrat Economy Minister Giovanni Tria is said to have wanted to keep the deficit under 2% but he seems to have caved in to pressure from the M5S and its government coalition partner, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s League party.
Di Maio said he was not concerned about losses on the Milan stock exchange and rises in Italy’s bond spread in response to the deficit.
“I’m not worried because over the next few days we want to meet all the private and public entities that represent the market and reiterate that the 2.4% contains 15 billion euros of investment — the biggest investment plan Italy has ever had,” he said.

The “Great Replacement” Comes for the Qubecois De Souche (And Anglos Too)
Canada takes even more immigrants relative to its population than the U.S. but its elite has long been as complacently confident that the immigration issue could be kept out of politics as the U.S. elite was before Trump. (Canada has the added advantage of shockingly repressive Hate Speech laws, although U.S. elite and the Tech Totalitarians are working on that).
But two recent events have disturbed that complacency: Maxime Bernier, a federal Member of Parliament and prominent former candidate for the federal Conservative Party leadership, began an extremely aggressive Trump-type Twitter campaign denouncing multiculturalism and the diversity cult and has used it to launch a new federal party. And in the run-up to the October 1 Quebec provincial election, François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec has cracked Canada’s elite consensus by proposing a (very modest) 20% decrease in immigration.

The Strange Death of the United States Via Immigration
Douglas Murray wrote a chilling book: The Strange Death of Europe— Immigration, Islam and Identity. In that book, he connects the dots as to Europe’s impending demise into Islamic chaos and cultural suicide. His conclusions bear out daily as Europe imports an endless line of Muslims from the Middle East and Africa. All of them, totally and completely unable, unwilling and disinclined to adapt to 21st century advanced societies. While they leave their bloody, rape torn and/or starving countries, they create those same realities in Europe.
Few people hold much hope for every country in Europe being overrun by third world immigration. Yet no one knows who drives that invasion. Europeans attempt to cope, but find their own leaders working against them.
“Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam.” “Islam is a religion of peace.” You hear these farcical statements in the face of centuries of violence in Islamic societies against their women, children, animals and each other. The Quran mandates violence in virtually every chapter.
Islam slowly drains the life out of Europe. Murray states, “And that something else is a will—verging on the pathological—on many Europeans’ part to deny reality: realities about Islamic belief and practice, facts about Muslim immigration, and truths about European culture and history.
“This habit of what I will call “living in untruth,” Murray contends. “It is facilitating political decisions by many Europeans that, taken together, reflect a type of civilizational despair. European culture—by which Murray means the heritage of Jewish and Christian faith, Greece and Rome, and the various Enlightenments—is being emptied out by two developments about which many of those most responsible for Europe’s future are doing precisely nothing.”

Are you in a European country illegally, flouting your deportation order and committing arson? No problem. If the country to which you are to be returned might conceivably harm you, instead you are welcome to stay in Sweden, commit more crimes and harm Swedes.
A Swedish Court of Appeal recently overturned the deportation ruling against one of three convicted perpetrators of an arson attack against the synagogue of Gothenburg in December 2017, on the grounds that it would be in contravention of his “fundamental human rights”.

LGBTyranny: School Has 6-Year-Olds Write Same-Sex “Love Letters”
“You’re Prince Henry,” said the teacher. “You’re going to tell Thomas why it’s a brilliant idea for him to marry you.”
This instruction was given to a class of six-year-olds, as they were told to write same-sex love letters, according to a BBC video. The indoctrination occurred in a British school, but it’s a glimpse into America’s future — that is, if the sexual devolutionaries continue to hold sway.

UK: Rees-Mogg: ‘Public Policy Discriminates Against the Family and Encourages Its Breakdown’
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Tory Party’s star backbench Brexiteer, believes public policy is undermining the family, in part because it is an obstacle to state power.
The Roman Catholic conservative, who has six children himself notes that “Official statistics show that only two-thirds of British children live with both parents until the age of 14, compared with the OECD average of 84 per cent” in an article for the Daily Mail.

Why Are They Killing Our Culture?
Netflix—one of the big offenders—has a TV series, “13 Reasons Why,” which seems to be set up for the inexplicable purpose of persuading teenagers to kill themselves. In real life, a 14-year-old did just that after binge-watching “13 Reasons.” This got the American Family Association involved; they’re now seeking signatures for a petition to ask Netflix to cancel the series. AFA’s Tim Wildmon asked to meet with the CEO of Netflix to discuss it, but they turned him down; and Season 2 is ready to roll, with plans in the works for Season 3.
The climax of Season 1 was a three-minute-long, graphic depiction of a teenaged girl killing herself. Leading up to that, Netflix offered a full menu of violence, sex, crime, and perversion, which I will not attempt to describe. Earlier this year, Netflix aired “A Star-Spangled Salute to Abortion,” so I think we can see where they’re coming from.
The question is, Why would we want to have this in our popular culture? Who decided that we need it? Who benefits from this abomination?
Oh, well, it’s “entertainment”—a word whose meaning can no longer be pinned down with any certainty. But one thing is certain: our consumption of “entertainment” is a passive, but powerful, form of self-education. “Thirteen Reasons Why” may not addle the mind and corrupt the character of a well-grounded adult, but for comparatively defenseless young people, it’s poison. We as a society consume hour after hour of this stuff. And it shows.

Cultural wars. Perhaps the analogue of this article is somewhere in English.
In July, the pages of the well-known monthly literary magazine “Sinto” (Shincho) appeared quite innocuous text. The author was Mio Sugita, a member of parliament from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. She just doubted the need for government support for same-sex marriage. In her opinion, a society that accepts same-sex relationships – “devoid of common sense”, and it awaits an inglorious end. Sugita noted that homosexual couples are “unproductive” because they can not conceive children. “They are not able to reproduce and, therefore, do not contribute to the prosperity of the nation,” she summed up.
The situation has reached such a heat that the publishing house “Sintesa” (Shinchosha) the day before yesterday announced a decision to stop the publication of the magazine “Sinto.” The latter leads its history from May 1904 (the oldest in Japan). The publishing house, which is one of the largest in the Land of the Rising Sun and considered a stronghold of Japanese conservatism, asked forgiveness from the LGBT community: “We are very sorry that this happened.” President of the Publishing House “Sintesa” Takanobu Sato apologized for having admitted in the subordinate journal statements “full of prejudices and lack of understanding.”

“A Canadian journalist associate of Tommy Robinson is under police investigation for filming the activist waving at fans from a window after his appearance in court this Thursday.”
Is that Ezra? Hope he hasn’t just walked into a “contempt” trap.
Theresa May hates a talking Tommy Robinson and wants his lips silenced forever. A Muslim’s shank will do the trick.
“Studies on the three north African countries show a growing desire of their populations to leave their countries and joining a western country for a better life, news outlet Oumma reports.”
The migration problem is not going away anytime soon. With over 80% of the population of these countries wanting to emigrate to the West, it show the failure of centuries of Islamic influence, incompetent national administration, culture, lack of work ethic and corruption. The only Islamic countries that are prosperous are those blessed with the good fortune of oil reserves. Without oil, Saudi Arabia and the glitzy gulf states would be backward as Sudan and probably worse off than North Africa.
I have read a lot since childhood. Especially foreign classics. I myself vividly represented these European cities, I really wanted to go there. But now I read this news, that even in small towns is no longer safe and I think that I’d rather sit in my forests and snowdrifts.
WEstern woman hates having babies. Their dusty wombs allow for this demographic vacuum covering Europe to be filled with Islamists, animists, criminals, perverts, the incompetent, folks suffering some sort of jungle fever etc. The IQ averages something in the 80’s, if not lower.
Somali 67%.
The Left told women they should get careers instead of ‘wasting their lifes’ having families.
The Left made movies where women were miserable in marriage.
The Left told everyone that the World was overpopulated, so couples didn’t have children.
The Left pushed abortion and ‘Planned Parenthood’.
This has been going on for decades, and was planned before that.
Does anyone still think the leaders of the Left are “kindhearted and just confused” ? No, they are evil.
In this day and age there are sound economic reasons for not having babies indiscriminately. Inflation and wage stagnation have led to a situation where for many married couples, two sources of income are necessary to make ends meet. That leaves couples with a choice; economic security and no children in order to maintain economic security, or take one’s chance on a single wage earner and a minimal amount of income in order to have a family.
So, those who are most responsible tend to have fewer children or none at all, and those who are most irresponsible […] tend to have hordes of them, since they are sucking from the government tit for all its worth. And a lucky few women who are married to high wage earners can have as many as they wish.
I think the issue boils down to economics much more than convenience; even before the pill couples limited their family sizes in times of economic uncertainty.
And after they turn their new countries into cesspools as they did back home, where are they going to go then? Besides rising crime rates, how many welfare leeches can the West afford?
When the welfare states run out of money, they’ll just keep printing more. See the 1930s for examples. Or Venezuela.
Then the Western world will become one glorious ruin for the Chinese to visit, like we used to visit Greece and Egypt. Then the barbarous thug newcomer from Africa will explain to the Chinese tourist in front of Big Ben “we built this.”
It is very easy to stop actually, very easy. Stop welfare benefits. That alone will lead many to just go. Life is hard in the West if you are stupid and without state support. Then deportations greatly help to dissuade people.
The problem is not all of the above. The problem is our hostile elite that has decided to exterminate us. Coudenhove Kalergi White genocide happening in front of our eyes, and we all deny it. Even the economic system in the West was so set up as to aid our genocide. Abortion on demand, no questions asked. Short-term jobs so that nobody can afford to create a family and raise children. Gay supremacy.
and it is an ancient wish: my first time in Morocco, 54 years ago, in any place we came to and joined local youngsters, they urgently asked us to find them work in Europe and slipped us tabs with their adress on it.
They were friendly and polite young men….
I sometimes wonder what became of them, because in those days, I still had friendly feelings for those people.
In those days, they probably were indeed a friendlier bunch. They hadn’t been worn down by violence and propaganda. Notice they were actually looking for jobs. And the welfare state wasn’t yet on steroids, nor was the sense of entitlement so marked as it has become today.
Sorry for the indecent question. Here sometimes there are commentators from Sweden. Could you tell me who are the perpetrators of these incidents?
Also migrants?

Clinic sees more men seeking help after being raped
”(ANSA) — Rimini, September 28 — The local parish priest has denied Rimini beach ‘playboy king’ Maurizio ‘Zanza’ Zanfanti a funeral after he died aged 63 of a heart attack after sex with a 23-year-old eastern European friend and escort, local sources said Friday.’
I’m glad others find interesting news that I missed.
So he came, then went? (sorry!)
