California Carnage: 42 Dead in Wildfires, 200 Missing, 250k Evacuated (Photos, Videos)
The death toll in California has risen to 42 and 228 people are still missing as three major wildfires continue to sweep across the state. An estimated 250,000 people have been displaced from their homes.
Thirteen more people were confirmed dead from the “Camp Fire” in Paradise, northern California, taking the toll in that area to 42 and making it the deadliest fire in California history.
Paradise, some 90 miles (145 km) north of Sacramento, has been completely destroyed by the blaze, with the authorities saying that up to 90 percent of the residents lost their homes. The death toll is expected to rise.
An estimated quarter million Californians have been forced to flee their homes to escape the three blazing infernos across the state. Strengthening winds mean the flames are expected to spread even further by Tuesday. So far, the fires have spread to some 400 square miles (1,040 square km) as some 8,000 firefighters are still unable to contain the inferno.
California governor Jerry Brown is urging President Donald Trump to declare the situation as a major disaster in order to secure emergency funding.
There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 10, 2018

Chicago Playstation Users Furious They Must Now Pay a 9% “Amusement Tax”
When they powered up their Playstations on Nov. 9, Gamers in the Windy City were furious to learn that they will now need to fork over a 9% levy to the city every time they pay for any of a suit of online services as Chicago steps up enforcement of its supremely unpopular Amusement Tax, which was expanded in 2015 to cover video games, streaming services and other digital-entertainment mediums. While some companies have resisted what they have decried as an overreach by city tax collectors, who are desperately trying to plug a massive budget hole while supporting some of the most under-funded public pensions in the country, Sony has become the latest video gaming company to acquiesce to the city’s demands. Meanwhile, Nintendo and Microsoft (which owns Xbox) have been collecting the levies since 2015.

Climate Contrarian Uncovers Scientific Error, Upends Major Ocean Warming Study
Researchers with UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Princeton University recently walked back scientific findings published last month that showed oceans have been heating up dramatically faster than previously thought as a result of climate change.
In a paper published Oct. 31 in the journal Nature, researchers found that ocean temperatures had warmed 60 percent more than outlined by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
However, the conclusion came under scrutiny after mathematician Nic Lewis, a critic of the scientific consensus around human-induced warming, posted a critique of the paper on the blog of Judith Curry, another well-known critic.

Election Fraud Expert: Broward County’s Brenda Snipes ‘Found Ballots’ In 2012 Too
There is “clearly an organized effort to manipulate and alter outcomes.”
Broward County, Florida election official Brenda Snipes — who is continuing to find new ballots in the recent statewide midterm elections for Governor and the U.S. Senate — was previously accused of finding ballots after an election in 2012.
Government Accountability Insititute (GAI) research director Eric Eggers exclusively told SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight’s Senior Editor-at-Large Rebecca Mansour that Snipes allegedly “found ballots” following an election in 2012. Eggers said:
She’s also been accused of illegally opening ballots. The Florida GOP sued her for this and when they brought her to court, they said ‘Hey, your office is opening ballots outside the presence of the canvassing board … what’s your explanation?’ And again, the woman in charge of elections in Florida’s second most populous county argued she thought it was okay because her office didn’t understand the meaning of the word ‘canvassing.’

Florida Election Fraud’s Hidden Gun-Control Agenda
We’ve all seen those lists of objects, names, or places on tests along with the question of which one doesn’t belong or is out of place. Apply that test to the three Florida races affected by the vote fraud/incompetence in Broward and Palm Beach counties: senator, governor, and agricultural commissioner. Uh, agricultural commissioner? Why is anyone trying to steal that election, one lost under the radar among the seemingly more important national impact offices at stake?
The answer is that capturing the Florida agricultural commissioner’s post would be a key victory in liberal and progressive push for gun control. As the Tampa Bay Times notes, Florida is unusual in that the Florida agricultural commissioner, rather than the courts or other law enforcement, is the entity that regulates and controls things like concealed carry permits:

Ocasio-Cortez in Washington One Day, Begins Wasting Taxpayer Money
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the former barmaid elected to Congress from New York’s 14th District, wasted no time in proving what everyone already thought: She has little grasp of money, science, or cause and effect.
Tuesday was freshman orientation day for congressmen set to take office in January, but the socialist who doesn’t understand economics and wants to make law couldn’t be bothered with the mundane tasks of learning how to run a congressional office.
Rather, Ocasio-Cortez joined a group of environmental radicals at Representative Nancy Pelosi’s office to complain about climate change, and thus began the tough job of burning the taxpayers’ money.
[Comment: The 6 Time Socialist Party Candidate for President in 1944 Norman Thomas, said in a speech, which is available online: “The American People will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But, under the name of “Liberalism”, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist Nation, without knowing how it happened. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS ADOPTED OUR PLATFORM” ]

Report: Trump Planning to Remove Kirstjen Nielsen as DHS Secretary
President Trump is planning to remove Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, potentially in the coming weeks, a new report claims.
According to sources who spoke with the Washington Post, Trump has told his closest advisers that he will remove Nielsen from DHS, canceling a border trip scheduled for this week with the former George W. Bush official.
“The announcement could come as soon as this week, three of these officials said,” the Washington Post report alleges.
Attempting to thwart Nielsen’s removal from the DHS position is Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly, who successfully lobbied for Nielsen’s appointment to the agency last year despite her having no experience dealing with the issue of immigration.
Sources have previously told Breitbart News that they believe Nielsen’s firing could lead to Kelly’s resignation, noting that the two are each other’s closest allies in the White House.

“I’m thrilled to announce my support for this bipartisan bill that will make our communities safer and give second chances,” Trump said. “We’re all better off when former inmates can reenter society as law-abiding, productive citizens.”

Trump Warns Antifa That Tougher Opponents May Emerge
Thus far, the “Antifa” movement, supposedly created in opposition to what they call fascists (thus Anti-Fascist, or Antifa), has faced little organized opposition to their violent intimidation tactics. President Trump, however, in an interview with The Daily Caller, warned them on Wednesday that they could face physical opposition to them that would be “tougher,” and “much more violent.”
“They better hope that the opposition to Antifa decides not to mobilize,” Trump said. “Because if they do, they’re much tougher. Much stronger. Potentially much more violent.”
If that were to happen, the president said, “Antifa’s going to be in big trouble. But so far they haven’t done that and that’s a good thing.”

A bomb squad responded to the 12700 block of Newport Avenue in an unincorporated county area near Tustin about 9 a.m. Wednesday after neighbors reported hearing an explosion, officials said. Two other mysterious explosions had been reported in the same area in recent weeks…

Why Did the Catastrophic Camp Fire Start Where it Did?
The tragic Camp Fire of northern California has killed at least 31 people, destroyed approximately 7000 structures, and basically leveled the retirement community of Paradise, California.
It appears that the fire was initiated by a failing PG&E power line in the Feather River Canyon just to the north of the town of Pulga (see map with arrow below). The time of failure was roughly 6:15 AM November 8th, with fire reported 15 minutes later.
But why did the fire start in the specific location northeast of Paradise? Even more interesting, the regional winds were blowing, but were not THAT strong — which probably explains why PG&E did not de-energize the power lines.
The map below shows the winds (see barbs, and max gusts over the past hour-red numbers) at 6 AM Nov. 8th, right before the power line failed. The red oval shows the failure location (click to expand). Sustained winds of 25 knots at the Jarbo Gap location just to the south of the failure, but mostly less. Jarbo Gap had a gust to 51 mph, and the other locations were less. You wouldn’t think that such winds would take down big high-tension power lines…
Could there have been much stronger winds there? Was the location of failure one of particular vulnerability?
The power line failure occurred on the northeast side of a terrain feature, where the canyon narrowed. The terrain features would have blocked the flow and thus the winds could well have been substantially accelerated at EXACTLY the location of the failure.

Caroline Glick: A Desperate Emmanuel Macron Attacks Donald Trump
French President Emmanuel Macron has apparently decided that with his approval ratings in the toilet, his best bet for a political resurgence is to attack the United States.
This isn’t a bad move, for a French president. Hatred for America has been a powerful mobilizing force in France since shortly after the American army liberated the French from Nazi German occupation in 1944.
In his speech at the official ceremony marking a hundred years since the U.S. saved France from Germany and ended World War I, Macron took a direct swipe at President Donald Trump and his voters. Macron said that the “ancient demons” that caused World War I and millions of deaths are growing stronger.
“Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is the betrayal of patriotism,” Macron pronounced, as Trump and other world leaders looked on.

Euro-Globalists Pursue EU Military for “Empire of Peace”
Top officials in France and globalists from across the region want the European Union to develop its own military so it can become an “empire of peace,” as French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire put it this week. Speaking to a German newspaper, Le Maire argued that the EU should be a “green” empire that could stand up to both the U.S. government and Communist China. Amid the calls for a full-blown European empire ruled from Brussels, politically toxic leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron called for a true EU army. Critics across Europe and beyond, though, blasted and ridiculed the demands. In fact, one leading EU political figure noted that preventing the emergence of a “militarized” and “undemocratic” European empire dominated by Germany was the very reason the EU was ostensibly set up to begin with.
As far as the EU empire’s “power” goes, Le Maire acted as if Europe already was a unified empire, rather than a collection of sovereign nations where the populations — including the French population — have consistently rejected further surrender of sovereignty.
The unusually honest admissions calling for a European “empire of peace” with its own military came just days after fringe useful idiots of the establishment across Europe called for a European “Republic.” Among other schemes, this EU “Republic” would see the final vestiges of nation-states abolished and all power centralized in Brussels…
The New American magazine has been warning for three decades that Deep State globalists were conspiring to smash liberty and national sovereignty in Europe. And all the while, those same Deep State globalists have been using their propaganda organs disguised as “news” outlets to ridicule and belittle anyone who pointed that out. But today, they are openly boasting of their plans to create an unelected “empire” with its own military that will destroy self-government, liberty, and Western Christian civilization. Americans and the United States are in the crosshairs, too, as globalists work to regionalize and then globalize governance.

Outcry agst M5s ‘prostitutes, jackals’ claims
(ANSA) — Rome, November 12 — Five-Star leader Luigi Di Maio and bigwig Alessandro Di Battista’s complaints about journalists’ coverage of Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi’s trial were “right”, Premier Giuseppe Conte’s spokesman Rocco Casalino said Monday.
“I’m much more scandalised about what is being denounced rather than the language used,” he said.
“Rather than placing attention on the language, Id’ like to place attention on the criticism they are making. There is almost a sort of party propaganda on the part of some newspapers and it is right for Di Maio as political head and Di Battista as free citizen to be able to denounce it. With strong language.” An Italian journalist is suing for defamation the leader and a bigwig of the ruling anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) for allegedly slandering Italian journalists after Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi was cleared of lying over an appointment at the weekend.
Palermo-based Franco Viviano also proposed a class-action lawsuit by all Italian journalists against M5S leader Di Maio, who called reporters of the Raggi case “dirty low-down jackals”, and former No.2, no longer an MP, Di Battista who called them “prostitutes and hacks”.
The M5S have long had a confrontational stance with most of the the Italian media but observers said their invective has now reached new heights after Raggi was acquitted saying two years of “mud-slinging” had ended.
Viviano said “I’ve been doing this job for decades, also risking a lot, but always to inform the public.
“Therefore I have decided to sue Luigi Di Maio and Alessandro Di Battista for the offensive remarks towards journalists who still believe in this work”.
He added: “tomorrow we will promote a class action lawsuit against those who denigrate and offend all honest journalists”.
On Tuesday there will be flash mobs in all Italian regional capitals denouncing the M5S insults, called by journalists’ bodies.
Freedom of the press has “great value”, President Sergio Mattarella said after the M5S attacks on journalists covering Raggi’s trial and acquittal amid threats to crack down on publishers.
“In the morning i read the papers, said Mattarella. “News and comments, those that I share and those I do not share and perhaps the latter for me are more important.
“Because it is important to know the opinion of others, their views. Those I share are interesting, naturally and are close to my heart; but those I don’t share are for me an instrument on which to reflect.
“And for this reason freedom of the press has a great value because, also reading things that you don’t share, even if you deem them wrong, it enables and helps to reflect”.
Mattarella was speaking to students at the Qurinale presidential palace. European Parliament President Antonio Tajani said Monday he was “proud” to be a journalist.
“I’m proud of being a journalist. Without a free press, democracy does not exist,” said Tajani.
“There are worrying signs in Europe against the freedom of information.
“The European Parliament rejects all threats to journalists and recalls the sacrifice of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia and #JßnKuciak.
Italian House Speaker Roberto Fico, an M5S bigwig, meanwhile said that the freedom of information would “always” be protected.
The M5S has also said it would introduce legislation to crack down on so-called ‘impure media owners’, that is business-based publishing groups who have alleged conflicts of interest and allegedly pursue their own agendas to the detriment of accuracy.

He said the so-called ‘anti-Netflix’ decree was important for “cinema operators to know they can schedule films without them being available on other platforms at the same time”.

Leader of France’s ‘Angry Police’ Found Dead Amid Troubling Pattern of Officer Suicides
A policewoman who led a group that raised awareness about violence against French officers has been found dead, amid a wave of suicides in the country’s law enforcement community.
Maggy Biskupski, 36, was discovered dead in her home outside Paris, having apparently shot herself with her service weapon. She was the founder and leader of France’s Angry Police Movement, or MPC, which she created after two officers were badly injured by a Molotov cocktail attack in 2016. The incident sparked demonstrations by France’s police force, with protesters denouncing the rise of anti-police sentiment and demanding more resources to improve public safety.
The outspoken officer had been under investigation for speaking to the media about attacks against the police without permission from her superiors.
Her death marks 30 police suicides in France since January, according to AFP. But other outlets have reported higher tallies. The recent suicide of Antoine Boutonnet, France’s former police chief in charge of fighting hooliganism, put this year’s tally at 45, not including 16 suicides by members of the country’s military police, The Local France claims.

Mustn’t Lose EU TAV Funds — French Minister
Appendino will meet ‘Sì Torino’ organisers
(ANSA) — Brussels, November 12 — Italy and France must not lose EU funds for the high-speed rail (TAV) line between Lyon and Turin while Rome and Turin carry out a cost/benefit analysis of the project which has been put on hold, French Transport Minister Elisabeth Borne said after talks with Italian counterpart Danilo Toninelli Monday.
“We’ll let Italy carry out its evaluations, keeping well in mind the fact that we must not lose EU funding,” she said.
“Toninelli reiterated the Italian government’s desire to conduct economic studies on this project.
“Also in France we have a reflection on our infrastructure programme although we have reaffirmed the will to respect international treaties. I think that is so for Italy, too”.
Toninelli said that “France has Ok’d the cost/benefit analysis”.
He said that Borne had “duly noted the Italian government’s formally taken commitment to rediscuss as a whole the Turin-Lyon high-speed train line” and “agreed on the idea that it is necessary to put off the publication of the TELT tenders for the base tunnel…until the completion of the cost/benefit analysis”, which will be examined together with the EU Commission”.
Meanwhile Turin Mayor Chiara Appendino, who recently ordered Turin’s own cost/benefit analysis, said Monday she would meet the organisers of a pro-TAV rally which brought some 30,000 people to Turin on Saturday.
The Sì Torino movement was recently set up to combat a No-TAV campaign that has seen years of sometimes violent protests against the line in the Val di Susa north of Turin.
On Monday the Sì Torino movement said their priority was to meet Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
“We are willing to talk to anyone who wants and asks to listen to us but the priority is the meeting with President Sergio Mattarella,” said the seven women who promoted the “Yes, Turin Goes Forward” event.
M5S leader and Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said “the doors are open to all demonstrators”.

Report: France to ‘Embed Regulators’ Into Facebook to Examine ‘Hate Speech’
France is set to “embed” regulators in Facebook in an effort to examine how effectively the social network tackles “hate speech,” according to a report.
“From January, Macron’s administration will send a small team of senior civil servants to the company for six months to verify Facebook’s goodwill and determine whether its checks on racist, sexist or hate-fuelled speech could be improved,” reported Reuters on Monday. “The trial project is an example of what Macron has called ‘smart regulation’, something he wants to extend to other tech leaders such as Google, Apple and Amazon.”
Reuters added that it is “unclear whether the group will have access to highly-sensitive material such as Facebook’s algorithms or codes to remove hate speech.”

Scientists: Widely Reported Study on Ocean Warming is Wrong
Like much of the junk science surrounding climate change, alarmists seek to use nothing more than fear propaganda to exert control over the masses. It is actually pretty easy to see these people for who they are: authoritarians. But according to Reason, the dire headlines warnings that catastrophic global warming was more likely than previously thought ensued and were spread by the mainstream media.
It all started when the study published in Nature made the shocking and alarming claim that “ocean warming is at the high end of previous estimates, with implications for policy-relevant measurements of the Earth response to climate change, such as climate sensitivity to greenhouse gases and the thermal component of sea-level rise.” Using a novel technique to measure the accumulation of heat in the oceans, Princeton geoscientist Laure Resplandy and her team calculated that the amount of heat being absorbed by the oceans is more than 60 percent higher per year than the estimates offered by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2014.
But when British climate researcher and statistician Nicholas Lewis recalculated the numbers in the study, he and found that Resplandy and her team had made significant errors in their mathematics. Reason, while reporting on the controversy, reached out to Resplandy and had not heard back from her or her colleagues as of yet. Now co-author Scripps Institution of Oceanography climate scientist Ralph Keeling has acknowledged that Lewis is at least partially right and the researchers are beginning to prepare a correction to their original article (apparently not yet published).

The UK’s “Knife Crime Epidemic” Is Proof Bans Don’t Ever Work
As if more evidence is needed that bans don’t work, the United Kingdom’s knife crime “epidemic” is soaring. Even though there are incredibly strict knife control laws in the UK, public officials are declaring the knife violence a public health crisis.
On Wednesday, London police responded to separate stabbings within hours of each other, the victims, a young boy believed to be in his teens and a man, were sent to the hospital with life-threatening or serious stab wounds, according to a report by Fox News.
Of the five people stabbed this week, the youngest was a 15-year-old boy named Jay Hughes. Hughes was attacked outside a chicken shop in broad daylight. And that perfectly explains the horrific epidemic. During the first six months of the year, police recorded 39,332 knife crime offenses which is a 12 percent increase over last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Other violent crimes, including murder and robbery, also increased by double-digit percentages proving bans will never work.
As all of the victims are now powerless and disarmed, those who seek violent domination over others simply break the law and own the weapons used to hurt others. If this isn’t straight up evidence that bans don’t work, nothing else is either.

UK: As Brexit Deadlines Loom and Cabinet Rebels Gather, PM May Claims Deal Won’t Come at ‘Any Cost’
Hopes of escaping the Brexit in name only (‘Brino’) arrangements created by the European Union which would see the UK either in whole or in part bound indefinitely by EU laws were raised after the Prime Minister said a deal would not come at “any cost”.
The Prime Minister said almost two years ago that no deal would be better than a bad deal for Britain, a position long held by Brexiteers fearful that negotiations with the European Union could be co-opted by Brussels to punish the United Kingdom for trying to leave.
Yet among repeated concessions to the EU in negotiations by the Prime Minister and her civil service team led by staunch Europhile Olly Robbins, concern has grown that the statement was merely lip service. Critics of the Prime Minister, including from within her own party, believe the deal is shaping up to leave Britain at a disadvantage compared to unilaterally leaving without a deal and trading on World Trade OrganiZation rules.
As pressure piles on the Prime Minister, with accusations made Monday evening that the EU Brexit leader Michel Barnier had even tried to “bounce” the PM into agreeing on a forced deal, Britain’s Theresa May restated her position that no-deal could still be an option.

UK: Brexit Deal Lays Bare Compromises Made by May
Theresa May reveals her Brexit deal: Draft keeps the UK in a customs union during an INDEFINITE transition period — but the PM DENIES she’s put a ‘border’ in the Irish Sea and tells the Commons there is NO other option
Theresa May insisted the Brexit deal was the ‘best that can be negotiated today’ after the scale of the compromises made were exposed in the full text of the plan.
The draft Withdrawal Agreement reveals that there will be more regulatory checks between Northern Ireland and Britain — a red line for the DUP which means she could lose their support in Parliament.
The UK will also potentially be locked in a backstop to avoid a hard Irish border ‘unless and until’ another solution can be found, with no unilateral ability to exit.
That would mean obeying environmental and other rules to keep a ‘level playing field’.
Meanwhile, the document leaves open the option of indefinitely extending the transition period — essentially staying in the EU but having no say in setting the rules.

We Won’t Budge a Millimetre on Budget — Salvini
EU is in the wrong says deputy premier
(ANSA) — Pratica di Mare, November 14 — Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini reiterated on Wednesday that Italy will not back down in its tussle with the European Commission over its budget plan for next year. “There are graphomaniacs in Brussels who write letters to us and we politely respond but we aren’t budging a millimetre,” Salvini said at Pratica di Mare, near Rome, where the League leader was waiting for the arrival of a group of migrants on a humanitarian corridor. “The European Union, which in the treaties says that full employment and social rights must be guaranteed, is in the wrong.
“If you don’t let us spend, how can we guarantee them?”. The Commission had told Rome to significantly change the package, which sees Italy running a deficit of 2.4% of GDP next year, saying otherwise it may open an infringement procedure for failing to respect the Stability and Growth Pack. The government, on the other hand, says an expansive budget is needed to finance key pledges and boost growth. Late on Tuesday, Economy Minister Giovanni Tria sent the EC a revised version of the government’s draft budgetary plan, accompanied by a letter on the strategy being adopted. But the plan to run a 2.4% deficit was unchanged. Tria wrote there is a “safeguard cushion” that will kick in if the target of 1.5% growth in 2019 is not reached. He said speedy corrections on spending and revenues will be made if there is a deviation.
European Commission Vice President Andrus Ansip repeated Wednesday that Italy must respect the EU’s budget rules. “When you’re in the eurozone family, you have to respect the rules we have given ourselves,” Ansip told ANSA when asked about Rome’s reply to the Commission.
“Running up debt with taxpayers’ money is not an intelligent idea. “There is an intelligent government in Italy and I hope that they will be capable of finding good solutions for the European Union and the Italian people”.
Some of Italy’s eurozone partners were critical of the government’s stance.
Bloomberg reported that Austrian Finance Minister Hartwig Loeger has said Vienna is ready to support the opening of an infringement procedure against Italy if Rome continues to refuse to change its budget plans. Loeger was quoted as saying that the Italian government is “holding its people hostage” with populist messages. Loeger also said he disagreed with Tria. “On the contrary to what my colleague says, it is not a domestic Italian affair, it’s a European affair,” he said, according to Bloomberg.
Dutch Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra said that he was disappointed that the Italian government had not complied with the request from the European Commission. “It is not very surprising but it is very disappointing that Italy has not revised its budget plan,” Hoekstra said. “Italy’s public finances are imbalanced and the government’s plan will not bring robust economic growth. “This budget is a violation of the Stability and Growth Pact.
“We are deeply concerned. Now it is up to the European Commission to take the next steps”.

A Missile a Minute. What Would the West Do?
By Giulio Meotti
The Czech Republic supports Israel’s right to an “aggressive response” to the 500 missiles that have fallen in the south of the country from Gaza. “Hamas is a terrorist organization and rocket attacks against Israel are completely unacceptable and must be condemned”, said President Milos Zeman. “Israel has full rights to an aggressive response”.
That is the only official declaration that Italy, Spain, Germany, France, England and other European countries should dispatch after the onslaught from Gaza. No cliche’s about “tension in Gaza” or “avoiding an escalation”.
On the one side there is reason (Israel), on the other there is wrongdoing (the Palestinian Arab terrorists). It is up to Israel to manage the conflict. The free world, Europe, the West, must show the force of reason about their own only true ally in that region of barbarians. The Czechs know well what it means to have neighbors who want to wipe you from the map. That’s what happened to them in 1939
400 missiles launched in one single day from Gaza to Israel!
400. 1 missile per minute over five hours. What would the British have done and said, for example, if the French had launched the same number of missiles on the cities of the British coast from Calais? And what would we have said and done, we Italians, if the French had bombed Ventimiglia at this rate from nearby Menton? How is it that 400 missiles from Gaza against the schools, houses, buses and hospitals of Israel do not make the news or protests about the scandal, but we do ask Israel to defend itself with its hands tied, thus committing suicide and also asking for pardon for existing?
What is this if not the old, smelly, anti-Semitism?…

If things go badly, Israel could very easily find itself fighting Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north simultaneously
Missiles continue to rain down on Israel at this hour, and even the New York Times is admitting that the region is on the “brink of war”.
On Monday, more than 300 rockets and mortar shells were fired from Gaza into Israel, and the Israeli military struck back extremely hard in response. Many observers had been hoping that the barrage coming out of Gaza would slow down on Tuesday, but so far that has not happened. The Times of Israel is reporting that missile alarms were shrieking all over southern Israel as dawn broke on Tuesday, and at least 70 rockets and mortar shells have been fired at Jewish cities since midnight. If the barrage does not stop, there will be war. As you will see below, large numbers of IDF troops and tanks have been spotted heading to the Gaza border.
Fortunately, many of the rockets that have been fired at Israel have been intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, but quite a few were able to get through.
One rocket that penetrated the missile defenses destroyed an Israeli bus…
Many in the Islamic world are attempting to claim that Israel’s response was too harsh.
The destruction of the television station was particularly infuriating for Hamas leadership. The massive fireball that erupted when it was bombed made headlines all over the world…
A state of war essentially already exists between Israel and Hamas, but it looks like there is a very real possibility that Israel could shortly conduct a full scale ground invasion of Gaza.
According to the Times of Israel, “large numbers of tanks and other military vehicles” are being transported to the border on heavy trucks…
On Monday evening, large numbers of tanks and other military vehicles were seen being moved down to the Gaza border on the backs of large trucks. Earlier in the day, before the barrages began, the army also ordered extra infantry battalions to the region.
Hamas could prevent this invasion by ending the barrage, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen.
Instead, Hamas leadership says that what has happened so far “is just the beginning”…

Report: Unable to Reach Asia Bibi, Pakistan’s Islamists Attacking Random Christians
Islamists reportedly attacked travelers in Pakistan who identified themselves as Christians in the wake of the decision by the Supreme Court to rescind the 2010 death sentence against Asia Bibi for alleged blasphemy, CNN reported on Sunday.
Breitbart News has long reported that Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy law is disproportionally used target religious minorities, particularly Christians.
Human rights groups have determined that Muslims often use the law to settle personal disputes and vendettas.
Peter Jacob, the executive director for the Center for Social Justice in Lahore, told CNN that half of the individuals accused of blasphemy in Pakistan are non-Muslims, adding that his organization registered cases in which anti-Bibi rioters asked travelers to divulge their religion, and if they revealed they were Christian, “They were taken out of their cars and beaten up.”

Former Facebook Security Chief: Google CEO Sundar Pichai is Lying About China
Many have been critical of Google’s plan to launch a censored search engine in China, now a former Facebook executive has called out Google’s CEO for lying about the company’s motives.
Facebook’s former security chief Alex Stamos took to Twitter recently to attack Google CEO Sundar Pichai for his comments defending the company’s decision to move into the China market with its censored search engine known as “Project Dragonfly,” Silicon Beat reports.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Pichai stated that Google was “committed to serving users in China” and compared Chinese censorship laws to the “right to be forgotten” law in the European Union. Pichai received severe criticism for this comparison, both internally and from those outside of Google.
“Tech companies constantly walk a difficult path between complying with local law and protecting human rights,” Stamos tweeted Thursday. “For Sundar to compare the “right to be forgotten” (which I agree is problematic) with censorship in China is, at best, amoral and mendacious.”

Lighting the Way for a New Lanternshark Species
It’s a girl! It’s a boy! It’s a new shark species!
The ninja lanternshark (which was covered in an earlier post in October) now has a new relative. Marsha’s lanternshark (Etmopterus marshae) is from the Philippines area and sports splendid green eyes and a slim, dark body that allows it to blend into the inky surroundings in the deep sea. Pictures of this newest Etmopterus member show light bands on the tail (scientifically called the ‘caudal fin’) and their sides are reminiscent of a galaxy with their blue, black, purple coloration and sparkles that remind one of the stars. What made this lanternshark stand out? “The intricate pattern, the flank marking, and the rather beautiful appearance of the shark in the fresh pic.” says Dr. David Ebert, who is also known as ‘The Lost Shark Guy

North Korea Hiding Missile Bases, US Researchers Say
Washington (AFP) — North Korea is operating at least 13 undeclared bases to hide mobile, nuclear-capable missiles, a new study released Monday has found, raising fresh doubts over US President Donald Trump’s signature foreign policy initiative.
Trump has hailed his July summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as having opened the way to denuclearization of the divided peninsula, defusing tensions that less than a year ago brought the two countries to the brink of conflict.
Since the summit in Singapore, North Korea has halted nuclear and missile tests, dismantled a missile test site and promised to also break up the country’s main nuclear complex.
But researchers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington said they have located 13 missile operating bases that have not been declared by the government, and that there may be as many as 20.

Australian PM Rejects Criticism From Islamic Community
When he spoke outside Pellegrini’s, Mr Morrison rejected the criticism, saying it was the community’s responsibility to be vigilant for radicalisation.
“Communities need to ensure they weed this out,” he said.
“I’m a member of a religious community, and my pastor knows what’s going on in our church community.
“He would know if there was someone, or his wife would know if there was someone leading a local Bible study group or something like that who was teaching things that were not in accordance with what our faith believed. They’d be pointing that out and they’d be dealing with it.”
He would not reveal the details of how Ali was radicalised, citing “the cone of silence of the investigation”, but said it clearly happened in Australia.
“He was radicalised in this country. He came here when he was five years old, for goodness’ sake,” the Prime Minister said.
“What happened here, happened here. And so we need to focus on what happened here, that is a man grew up in this country, and was radicalised with these hateful views and beliefs, and he didn’t get it from the postman. He didn’t get it from the police. He got it from the community he was living in and the people he was speaking to.”

Bourke Street Attack: Security Guard Describes Terrorist ‘Stabbing People for No Reason’
The 26-year-old security guard who was stabbed in the neck by terrorist Hassan Khalif Shire Ali on Melbourne’s Bourke Street last week says he tried to defend himself but there was too much blood.
In an interview with Victoria Police, the security guard Shadi, who only wanted his first name used, said Shire Ali came out of nowhere.
“After that everything was just very quick, it was just a blur at the time,” Shadi said of the attack on Friday.
“Everyone was screaming and running, then out of nowhere … I got attacked.
“I didn’t even have time to react. He straight away stabbed me, tried to kill me, he hit me in the neck.”
Despite his injuries, Shadi said he was worried about Shire Ali attacking other innocent bystanders.
“The attacker was on the loose, stabbing people for no reason, no cause whatsoever…

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told the European Parliament on Wednesday that his country’s land reform will faithfully adhere to the country’s constitution with respect to the rights of all its citizens.
The Ramaphosa-led African National Congress (ANC) aims to change the constitution to allow the government to expropriate land from white landowners without compensation. The land is to be distributed to the country’s landless black majority. Ramaphosa says the change in law is necessary in order to address racial disparities in ownership persisting more than two decades after the end of apartheid.

Brazil’s Exceptional President
by Srdja Trifkovic
Jair Bolsonaro won the presidential election in Brazil on October 28 with 55 percent of the vote. The former army captain triumphed over Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers’ Party pledging to fight crime and corruption, to end affirmative action for “disadvantaged minorities,” and to shatter the straitjacketed discourse on race and sexuality. The leader of the fourth-largest democracy has vowed to uphold traditional family, patriotism, Christian faith, and law and order.
From the standpoint of the Western elite, Bolsonaro’s views are beyond the pale.
“I will not fight nor discriminate,” he said in 2002, “but if I see two men kissing in the street, I’ll hit them.”
“I’m homophobic, yes,” he reiterated some years later, “and very proud of it if it is to defend children in schools.”
“I’d rather have my son die in an accident,” he declared in 2010, “than show up with some mustachioed guy!”
“Brazil is a Christian country,” Bolsonaro insists. “God above everyone! It is not this story, this little story of secular state. It is a Christian state, and if a minority is against it, then move!”
What would he do if his son fell in love with a black woman? The question was put to Bolsonaro in 2011. “I do not run that risk as my children were very well raised,” he replied. In 2017, he promised to end all indigenous and slave-descended quota programs. “Has anyone ever seen a Japanese begging for charity?” he asked. Of course not, “because it’s a race that has shame. It’s not like this race that’s down here, or like a minority ruminating here on the side.”…

Damning Report Reveals Britain’s Border ‘Not Secured by Any Stretch of the Imagination’
A damning report into the protection of Britain’s seaports, harbours, and marinas has revealed that the country’s border is “not secured by any stretch of the imagination”.
Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration David Bolt, who previously revealed that the Home Office had “lost” some 56,000 migrants scheduled for deportation, including around 700 ex-cons, has published an official report describing an underresourced Border Force.
The government body is reported to be struggling to cope, as illegal migrants shift their focus from the Port of Dover crossing to others such as Newhaven, Portsmouth, Southampton, Poole, Plymouth and other, smaller points of entry, increasingly accessed via ports in Normandy and even Spain, rather than their former launchpad of Calais.

A United Church of Canada minister who doesn’t believe in God.
An atheist — outed herself before the congregation five years ago — rather than the less radical non-theist term, which is a person who doesn’t think of God as a being, thereby avoiding some of the more negative baggage associated with the A-word.
A heretic, frankly, as Vosper herself shorthands it on tweets with the hashtag #heresytrial.
There will be no trial, no formal ecclesiastical hearing, no defrocking. After three-and-a-half years of preparation and internal controversy, the United Church swallowed its theological opposition, last week announcing that Vosper is free to continue her ministry without any sanctions or restrictions, thus aborting a much-anticipated “trial” that had been scheduled to begin next Monday.
Carry on deleting all reference to God or a supernatural being in all sermons and rewritten hymns. Carry on expunging the Lord’s Prayer. Carry on with a fundamentally humanist dogma. Carry on conducting services as a community-centred attestation where everybody gets a shot at the microphone.

Camille Paglia: ‘Social Justice’ Has Become a ‘Pseudo-Religion’
In an interview with Quillette, renowned scholar Camille Paglia argued that “social justice” has become a “pseudo-religion.”
Paglia, a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, spoke with Quillette Magazine founder Claire Lehman for an interview that was recently published. Paglia covered topics ranging from postmodernism to the #MeToo movement.
Lehmann asked Paglia about her views on the “social justice” movement, which many have argued has morphed into a sort of religion.
As an atheist, I have argued that if religion is erased, something must be put in its place. Belief systems are intrinsic to human intelligence and survival. They “frame” the flux of primary experience, which would otherwise flood the mind.
But politics cannot fill the gap. Society, with which Marxism is obsessed, is only a fragment of the totality of life. As I have written, Marxism has no metaphysics: it cannot even detect, much less comprehend, the enormity of the universe and the operations of nature. Those who invest all of their spiritual energies in politics will reap the whirlwind. The evidence is all around us—the paroxysms of inchoate, infantile rage suffered by those who have turned fallible politicians into saviors and devils, godlike avatars of Good versus Evil.
Paglia also commented on the recent confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She expressed concern that Kavanaugh’s accusers were given “blanket credulity.”

These “radical changes” are necessary, Ms. Mitchell O’Connor insists, to ensure a more equal playing field.
Many women, “who are as capable and efficient as their male peers,” Mitchell O’Connor writes, “still work in an environment where their gender holds them back. Let’s call it what it is: gender inequality.”

Then university officials made threats to force the professor into “pronoun compliance.” Now he’s taking legal action, with attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) having filed a federal lawsuit against the school last Monday on his behalf.
Breitbart reports on the case:
On January 9, Nicholas Meriwether, a philosophy professor at Shawnee State University in Ohio, responded to a student’s question by saying, “No, sir.” That student transitioned from male to female and confronted Meriwether after class, demanding the professor use feminine titles and pronouns. Meriwether disagreed. The student became “belligerent, circling around the professor and getting in his face in a threatening fashion,” according to the complaint filed in federal court.
Before walking away, the student allegedly said, “Then I guess this means I can call you a c[**]t.”
The student promised to get Meriwether fired for pronoun noncompliance, filing a complaint. Meriwether reported the student’s alleged conduct to the Jennifer Pauley, chair of the Humanities and English departments. Subsequently, the university launched an investigation. The professor offered to call the student by first and last name, bypassing pronouns; however, Shawnee State officials rejected the middle ground fix. ADF said this forced Meriwether to speak and act contrary to his religious beliefs.
ADF Senior Counsel Travis Barham explained that Meriwether is a Christian who believes in the reality of the matter: that sex is fixed at birth (and thus, doesn’t have to be “fixed” — or, perhaps we should say, broken — later).
Barham also said that tolerance should go both ways and that Shawnee shouldn’t be imposing an ideological straitjacket on its employees. Note here that universities love bloviating about “academic freedom” when the matter is a Marxist professor or one who impugns whites, Christians, or men or embraces some other politically correct prejudice. But the academic-freedom fakery goes out the window when academia’s own orthodoxy is challenged.
In Meriwether’s case, school officials didn’t just seek to impose their will, but actually belittled the professor’s Christianity.

Supreme Court to Decide Constitutionality of Cross-Shaped World War I Memorial
The 40-foot-tall “Peace Cross” in Bladensburg, Maryland was erected by the American Legion in 1925 to honor the 49 men from Prince George’s County who fell in the Great War. In 1961, a Maryland state agency took possession of the land on which the memorial stands.
The legality of the 93-year-old memorial was challenged by an atheist organization called the American Humanist Association, which argued that the cross sent an exclusionary message in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
[Comment: Expressions of religion is not establishment of religion. Establishment is done by law through congress, which has not been done. Humanists are using lies and sophistry to deny Americans right of freedom of religion.]

Victoria’s Secret Slammed for Transphobia (Or Something)
I’ve reported on Victoria’s Secret before, but things are getting much worse now.
The brand is getting slammed online for transphobia, and every other kind of phobia. Apparently, the brand isn’t representative enough because its models aren’t transgender or fat.

City-Size Impact Crater Found Under Greenland ICE
The first large crater ever found under ice, the discovery could possibly be linked to a controversial extinction theory.
Today, an international team of scientists describes what they say is a huge new impact crater that lies under northwestern Greenland’s Hiawatha Glacier. If confirmed, it would be the first impact crater on Earth discovered under ice, the team reports in the journal Science Advances. At an estimated 19 miles wide, it is larger than Washington, D.C., and would rank among the top 25 known craters in the world.

Icy ‘Super-Earth’ Exoplanet Spotted Around Nearby Barnard’s Star
The nearest single star to the sun apparently hosts a big, icy planet.
Astronomers have found strong evidence of a frigid alien world about 3.2 times more massive than Earth circling Barnard’s Star, a dim red dwarf that lies just 6 light-years from the sun. Barnard’s Star is our sun’s nearest neighbor, apart from the three-star Alpha Centauri system, which is about 4.3 light-years away.

The Next Version of HTTP Won’t be Using TCP
HTTP is switching to a protocol layered on top of UDP.
The next version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)—the network protocol that defines how browsers talk to Web servers—is going to make a major break from the versions in use today.
Today’s HTTP (versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2) are all layered on top of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). TCP, defined as part of the core set of IP (Internet Protocol) layers, provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data over an IP network. “Reliable” means that if some data goes missing during transfer (due to a hardware failure, congestion, or a timeout), the receiving end can detect this and demand that the sending end re-send the missing data; “ordered” means that data is received in the order that it was transmitted in; “error-checked” means that any corruption during transmission can be detected.
These are all desirable properties and necessary for a protocol such as HTTP, but TCP is designed as a kind of one-size-fits-all solution, suitable for any application that needs this kind of reliability. It isn’t particularly tuned for the kinds of scenarios that HTTP is used for. TCP requires a number of round trips between client and server to establish a connection, for example; using SSL over TCP requires subsequent round trips to establish the encrypted connection. A protocol purpose-built for HTTP could combine these negotiations and reduce the number of round trips, thereby improving network latency.
The opposite
In its continued efforts to make Web networking faster, Google has been working on an experimental network protocol named QUIC: “Quick UDP Internet Connections.” QUIC abandons TCP, instead using its sibling protocol UDP (User Datagram Protocol). UDP is the “opposite” of TCP; it’s unreliable (data that is sent from one end may never be received by the other end, and the other end has no way of knowing that something has gone missing), and it is unordered (data sent later can overtake data sent earlier, arriving jumbled up). UDP is, however, very simple, and new protocols are often built on top of UDP.
[Comment: This will make internet even more insecure for the cattle class. Elites have already switched over to Internet2. Read the comments to the article — best observations: “ The dream of a two-packet transaction dies the instant the very first DOS attack is made using it. There’s a reason why TCP has a 3-packet handshake, and its proven itself over and over again in the wild west called the internet … Google is trying to fix the problem the wrong way and the result is going to be a horrendous mess for years to come.”]

Please find this news in English. This is very funny. In Chechnya, a lot of noise about this.
In Chechnya, threatened with a lawsuit to the authors of a board game for creating a negative image of the republic
Earlier, the newspaper Kommersant reported that in early November a new part of the game Vampire: The Masquerade was released, in which, according to legend, the republic is ruled by a clan of vampires

Chechnya is populated by vampires under the control “of the Sultan Ramzan”

“14 Moroccans Sexually Abuse Girl and Knife Her Boyfriend in Spain — Mainstream Media Silent” the only sentence actually driving it home and preventing the reoccurence of the crime is to mercelessly castrate the perpetrators. Or better yet, castrate them by arrival.
“A Patriotic Hungary Should be Among the Top 5 EU Countries by 2030 — Prime Minister Orban” Hungary is currently 17th, tied with Germany. Now, all things considered, chances are they will beat Germany, Sweden, and others, but look at the current Top 5 – Iceland (#1 for a decade), New Zealand, Austria, Portugal and Denmark. In all honesty I don’t think Hungary has what it takes to reach that spot in such a short period, unless they want to reinstall a police state.
“Nicolas Dupont-Aignan says Macron closes his eyes for Islamic terrorism like the French government did for Hitler in the inter-war period.” well said!
“49 Syrian Migrant, 20, Arrested for Raping Three-Year-Old Boy in Greek Refugee Camp” this whole event is disgusting, but why was a three year old kid alone in a sports facility?
“ADF Senior Counsel Travis Barham explained that Meriwether is a Christian who believes in the reality of the matter: that sex is fixed at birth” isn’t Christianity first and foremost about being patient with those who are lost and guiding them, about putting others first? Sounds like the teacher is just hiding behind religion, instead of properly practising it (unless it’s some weird sect branch again).
“Czech Government Officially Rejects UN Migration Pact” you know what’s funny? Just a day after the rejection, a video throwing some dirt on our PM got suddenly published and dragged a somewhat problematic case back to attention. Now, whether or not our PM is innocent I’ll leave for the police to decide, but the timing of this is by no means a coincidence. The pro-migrant opposition will clearly do anything to get their way.
Re Michael Avenatti Arrested… How could this happen? Didn’t the LA police get the memo that Avenatti as a limousine Democrat is above the law and immune from prosecution? Let’s hope this oversight is corrected soon.
Re Declared GOP Winner… Let me guess, ‘found’ ballots that surface post-election are rejected if they help a Republican, and accepted without question if they help a Democrat. Of course.
Re Like a Cold Sore… Like a Herpes Chancre, Hillary Clinton Returns
Re Ocasio-Cortes in Washington… What’s her net worth today? Any guesses on what her net worth will be in 2 years, 4 years. A million? Ten million? No Democrat Congresscritter leaves the swamp with less than 10 million in profit from bribes, kickbacks, extortion, playing the markets with insider lawmaking information, etc.
Re Euro Globalists Pursue EU Military… Britain and France must be de-nuclearized before they go full Islamic with imam-dominated parliaments. Otherwise Islamic Britain and Islamic France will blackmail the rest of Europe. On second thought maybe a thoroughly nuked Europe wouldn’t be so bad after all.
Re The US Is Nothing: Caravan Organizers Brag… They have a point, a country that won’t defend its borders is nothing, less than nothing. It’s a mark in search of a grifter, an eyes-down passive victim in search of a rapist. How many weeks’ warning did the WH have of the approaching caravan, and the fence-jumpers hopped that fence and taunted the border guards with impunity. Clearly Trump has no intention of doing anything. Ditto on draining the swamp (admittedly an impossible feat). Ditto on building the wall. Ditto on fighting the Democrats stealing district after district. I really think it’s dawning on him that it’s not worth it, all of it. Saving America from the corrupt Democrats just ain’t worth it. He should walk away. All his achievements are toast. The USA is determined to destroy itself. Let it be. Stand aside, POTUS DJT. If anybody coulda done it, it’s you. But it can’t be done. Retire, emigrate, enjoy your life. And let America become California.
bad news for Rohingya
https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/world/2018/11/16/china-offers-myanmar-support-over-rohingya-issue-after-us-rebuke/
BEIJING: China supports the Myanmar government’s efforts to protect domestic stability and approach to resolving the Rohingya issue, Premier Li Keqiang told the country’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi, after US Vice-President Mike Pence offered a strong rebuke.
I have driven past the Peace Cross on hundreds of occasions, having grown up nearby. It has always been a landmark in the area and these complaints are totally specious. Classic example of overreach by organizations dedicated to destroying the existing order. By the way, the great guitarist Roy Buchanan used to play at the Crossroads in nearby Bladensburg back in the 60s.
I walked in a lot of places that he never should have been
But I know that the Messiah, he will come again
Reports have it that Islamist terrorists are using Ireland as a safe haven and convenient back door into the UK and Europe. There is a large and growing religion of peace population to hide out in now. Who cares about the local kaffirs or what they do or don’t think. Yet there isn’t a peep from anywhere. In days of old the stories about the Soviet Communist back door were all lies. The Muslims are not rumors or lies. The so called new lefty western EU man is such s gutless shame.
