Italy Poised to Trigger Euro Implosion

Salvini says nation will no longer kneel to UN

Italy could be preparing to “volcanically” threaten the European Union and trigger a new Eurozone crisis should its Eurosceptic Government opt-out of the bloc, British businessman Jim Mellon claimed.

The British businessman also suggested the European Union is exploiting the Brexit negotiations to avoid having to address the “volcanic” threat Italy poses to the bloc.

Rome and Brussels have been engaged in a blistering battle of words since Economic and Financial Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovivi rejected Italy’s 2019 budget proposals in October.

Black Activist Group Demands CNN ‘Put House in Order’ After Lemon Race Baiting

“That’s not responsible journalism. This cannot stand.”

A black activist group has called on CNN President Jeff Zucker to comment on host Don Lemon’s assertions this week that white men are the biggest terroristic threat in America, saying that it is “outrageous”.

Project 21, which bills itself as a ‘black leadership group”, under the umbrella of conservative group The National Center for Public Policy Research, issued a press release condemning Lemon’s comments.

In the statement, co-chairs Stacy Washington, Horace Cooper, and Bishop Council Nedd note that “Within a space of five seconds, CNN’s Don Lemon went from saying we shouldn’t demonize people to broadly labeling white men as our nation’s ‘biggest terror threat.’“

Caroline Glick: American Jewry’s False Prophets

Just hours after the largest massacre of Jews in America in US history, the Atlantic Monthly posted a piece by Franklin Foer. In his “Prayer for Squirrel Hill, and for American Jewry,” Foer wrote, “Any strategy for enhancing the security of American Jewry should involve shunning [President Donald] Trump’s Jewish enablers. Their money should be refused, their presence in synagogues not welcome. They have placed our community in danger.”

That is, in the shadow of the blood drenched synagogue, Foer declared war on his fellow Jews.

Between a quarter and 30% of American Jews voted for Trump. A quarter of American Jews intend to vote Republican in next week’s election.

Foer wants them all to be ostracized because, he says, they are dangerous.

Taken to its logical conclusion, Foer’s statement was also a declaration of war against the Jews of Israel. For as much as Foer and his totalitarian comrades hate Trump, Israeli Jews support him. More than 75% of Israeli Jews consider Trump a great friend.

Foer’s comrade Julia Ioffe from GQ magazine made clear the animosity these leftist/anti-Trump American Jewish media figures harbor toward Israel. In a post on Twitter that was at least as incendiary as Foer’s essay, Ioffe wrote, “And a word to my fellow American Jews: This president makes this [massacre] possible. Here. Where you live. I hope the embassy move over there, where you don’t live was worth it.”

In other words, Trump’s support for Israel enables him to persecute American Jews. By supporting Trump for supporting Israel, Israeli Jews and Republican Jews enabled the massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue…

Comedy Central Mocks Celebrity Get Out the Vote Campaigns

Comedy Central is mocking celebrity get-out-the-vote campaigns by releasing its own “Should We Vote?” initiative.

“All Americans are asking themselves the same questions: How will I know if I should vote if celebrities don’t tell me to?” the actors say in the spoof PSA released on Thursday. “Does Emma Stone think I should vote? What about John Krasinski?” the actors ask rhetorically.

“Many normal Americans like us don’t know what we should do until celebrities tell us what to do,” they continue. “Tom Holland, Tom Hardy, Thomas the Tank Engine: Should I vote?” another actor asks.

“It’s about celebrities telling regular Americans that they have to vote,” the actors said. “Many normal Americans like us don’t know what we should do until celebrities tell us what to do. Some people are calling this the most important election of our lives, but they aren’t famous.”

Feds ‘Wanted to Get Rid of’ Whitey Bulger, Ex-Con Claims

Apparently, we’re not the only ones who believe the circumstance surrounding Whitey Bulger’s jailhouse slaying are suspect in the extreme. First, that federal authorities would abruptly move an 89-year-old inmate in ill health to a new maximum security prison seemingly on a whim seemed odd. But the fact that Bulger was placed in general population instead of protective custody was either an act of staggering incompetence, or, more likely, an intentional ‘oversight’. And now, an ex-con-turned-journalist told the New York Post in an interview that he also believes the killing was a set-up probably planned by federal authorities to get rid of a problem witness.

As Richard Stratton told the Post, the guards at Hazelton prison almost certainly looked the other way as a trio of inmates purportedly led by New England mafia enforcer Freddy Geas fatally beat Bulger to death in a secluded corner of the prison. His attackers then tried to gouge out his eyes and cut out his tongue — an old-school marking that the victim was a ‘rat’. High ranking federal officials probably sent Bulger there “to get rid of him,” Stratton said.

Gavin Newsom Promoted in First-Grade Textbook

A newly released video illustrates how California first graders are subjected to political propaganda when one of their textbooks glorifies Democrat gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom.

In conjunction with the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Stop K-12 Indoctrination campaign, Sean Fitzgerald exposes the political advertising and messages the young children are forced to absorb in their schools.

“The state of California is using first-grade history textbooks to indoctrinate children to support current California state politicians,” Fitzgerald says in the video.

Gunned Down for Believing in Christ: The Mainstream Media is Silent as the Persecution of Christians Escalates

The persecution of Christians is escalating rapidly around the globe

The global persecution of Christians continues to escalate dramatically, and yet the mainstream media in the United States is virtually silent about it.

In this article, I am going to quote a lot of sources, but they are all either overseas news outlets or Christian websites in the United States. To a certain extent, I think that the mainstream media is extremely hesitant to report about the global persecution of Christians because it may cause the general public to feel sympathetic, and that would definitely be counterproductive to what they are trying to accomplish. Ultimately, the elite are trying to demonize Christians, conservatives, patriots and anyone else that would attempt to oppose their radical agenda for America. So they are banning us from their Internet platforms, they are mocking us on their news and entertainment programs, and they certainly don’t want to highlight the fact that the persecution of Christians is escalating rapidly around the globe.

In this article, I would like to share with you 8 recent examples of Christians being persecuted that you probably never heard about from the mainstream media…

Justice Department Charges Chinese Company With Espionage

WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice charged a Chinese state-owned company, its Taiwanese partner and three individuals on Thursday with stealing trade secrets from an American technology company, the latest move by the Trump administration to crack down on China’s “economic espionage.”

The indictments come as the United States remains locked in a bitter trade war with China, which the Trump administration has accused of unfair trade practices, including stealing valuable intellectual property and technology from American companies. The charges filed on Thursday are the latest in a series of indictments that accuse China of elaborate efforts to steal corporate secrets through espionage and hacking.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Late Night” with Seth Meyers, film maker Michael Moore called on “angry white American guys” to “give it up” because their demographic time is over.

“They are fanatical about this because they know their time is up. And it’s sort of the angry white guy, which actually — I’m really Trump’s demographic,” said Moore.

“I’m an angry white guy over 50 with a high school education. So that’s me. So if I could just speak to my fellow angry white American guys who are semi-uneducated like me. Dudes, give it up. We’ve been running the show for 10,000 years. It’s like — it’s like we’ve had a long run as men running everything. And, you know, the Yankees could never win as many pennants as we’ve won in these 10,000 years as men,” he added.

Patrick Courrielche: Andrew Breitbart Was Right — Pop Culture Matters

“I’m telling you they’re uninteresting, they’re vicious, they’re vitriolic, they’re really, really not good people, and I’m willing to say that on the record.” — Andrew Breitbart on the people who run Hollywood.

I remember when I first heard this quote I thought it must have been a bit of hyperbole offered up as red meat to Andrew’s conservative audience. At the time I’d just been in the trenches with my new friend. A series of stories I’d published with Andrew’s then-relatively unknown website Breitbart.com was first a hit in right-wing media circles, then bled into the far-left New York Times and Washington Post after the series forced the resignation of an Obama Administration appointee. It was a thrilling time. Andrew was helping me change the world from my kitchen counter.

But even after being attacked by a few from Movie City as a result of the stories, I wasn’t ready to concede Andrew’s point about the people running Hollywood. They simply didn’t seem as bad as he described. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Canada Resort Staff Were Fired for Being White — Tribunal

A Canadian human rights tribunal says seven resort employees were discriminated against for being white.

The Human Rights Tribunal in the westernmost province of British Columbia awarded them more than C$173,000 ($132,000, £102,000).

Resort owner Kin Wa Chan said he wanted to hire Chinese employees because he believed they were cheaper.

The tribunal found the seven staff were forced out in August 2016, and replaced with Chinese workers.

Tribunal chair Diana Juricevic ruled this qualified as discrimination based on race, which is against British Columbia’s human rights code…

Pilot to be Sentenced in Sabotage That Crippled Quebec Power Grid

OTTAWA — In December 2014, Hydro-Quebec, Canada’s largest electric power utility, was hit with a crippling blackout at the start of winter. Traffic lights went dark, and more than 188,000 customers lost power, including Montreal’s McGill University Health Center.

The utility was forced to scramble to avoid a systemwide outage. Power exports to the Northeast United States were cut. Industrial users were asked to slash production, and the provincially owned utility was required to buy emergency power from neighboring utilities. Cost to the utility was estimated at $22 million.

Unlike most such incidents, however, the blackout was not weather-related or an act of God. As a Quebec court has heard, the power failure resulted from an act of sabotage by Normand Dubé, a 56-year-old pilot and inventor with a grudge against the utility, who used a small aircraft to hobble two massive power lines. Dubé was found guilty of three charges of criminal mischief in September.

Next Merkel? Right-Winger Bids for Top Job With Attack on Leader — ‘She’s Lost Control!’

GERMANY’S young health minister has launched his campaign to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel with a withering attack on her liberal immigration policy, which saw more than one million refugees enter Europe’s most powerful economy.

Jens Spahn, 38, is a rising star in Mrs Merkel’s centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), and has often been tipped as a successor to the veteran politician who has led Germany since 2005.

But writing in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper yesterday the health minister said Mrs Merkel, 64, had “lost control” of immigration after opening the door to 1.1 million migrants from the Middle East, Asia and Africa in 2015.

He wrote: “The ‘white elephant in the room’ is the question of migration. It is an issue that in the eyes of many voters has not been ended or solved.”

UK: Terror Investigations an “Inconvenience”?

by Judith Bergman

[…]

Perhaps the main reason that terror victims had nowhere to turn is that even after years of living with Islamic terrorism, British authorities and public services still appear to be more concerned with dealing with perceived “Islamophobia” than with the real, devastating consequences of terrorism.

If you do not even dare to link terrorism to its source, then surely neither can you prepare for it. You cannot even speak about the gravely detrimental effects that Islamic terrorism has on the well-being of children and others in general society, because Islamic terrorism is (officially) not even supposed to exist.

It is only in such a society — where everything has been turned on its head, where the authorities cannot tell who are the victims and who are the people who may feel as if they are victims if someone asks them some questions — that a terrorist investigation can be considered “an inconvenience.”

As the saying goes about children in a playground: “It all started when he hit me back.”

Caroline Glick: What Was Rabin’s Legacy?

This week we received a few reminders that in certain significant ways, the discourse in Israel and hence the policymaking is very much stuck in the 1990s.

The first reminder came on Sunday when Jordan’s King Abdullah abruptly announced that he is rescinding two annexes of the peace deal that then prime minister Yitzhak Rabin signed with his father the late King Hussein in 1994. Not only did he give Israel no prior warning of his plan to abrogate the annexes, but Abdullah made the announcement on the 23rd anniversary of Rabin’s assassination.

The annexes in question involved Israel leasing from Jordan two border areas, one in the South and one in the North. Rabin ceded sovereignty claims over the areas in 1994 in exchange for a 25-year lease, which was supposed to be extended automatically next year.

There isn’t much Israel can do about Abdullah’s hostile move. The agreement clearly permits Jordan not to renew the lease for another 25 years if it gives Israel one-year’s notice.

And particularly with Iran threatening the Hashemites — with its forces and proxies perched on Jordan’s borders with Iraq and Syria — Israel doesn’t want to take action that will threaten Abdullah’s monarchy. So despite the material harm his move will cause hundreds of Israeli farmers who have tilled the soil there since the 1920s, Israel will likely do little in the way of retaliation.

The second reminder came Wednesday with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s renewed threat to abrogate the Oslo accords he and his predecessor Yasser Arafat concluded with Israel in the framework of the peace process they embarked upon in 1993. It’s not at all clear why Israel should care if Abbas abrogates the deals. Since they were signed, the Palestinians have only upheld the sections that serve their interests. They cooperate with Israel against Hamas because they are threatened by Hamas. They don’t condemn terrorism and indeed they engage in terrorism, because they support terrorism against Israel. The Palestinians never stopped, and indeed, they constantly escalate their incitement against Israel because they think that doing so advances their interests. And so on and so forth.

If the PLO’s central committee decides to abrogate the deals in their meeting on Saturday, the move won’t make the slightest difference on the ground. Abbas will continue treating Israel as he has treated Israel for the past 25 years…

U.S. Charges State-Owned ‘China 2025’ Tech Company and Others With Economic Espionage

The United States charged a state-owned Chinese company, a Taiwanese company, and three individuals with stealing trade secrets from a U.S. semiconductor company, the Justice Department announced Thursday.

“I am announcing that a grand jury in San Francisco has returned a multi-defendant indictment alleging economic espionage on the part of a state-owned Chinese company, a Taiwanese company, and three Taiwan individuals for an alleged scheme to steal trade secrets from Micron, an Idaho-based semi-conductor company,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “Micron is worth an estimated $100 billion and has a 20 to 25 percent share of the dynamic random access memory industry—a technology not possessed by the Chinese until very recently. As this and other recent cases have shown, Chinese economic espionage against the United States has been increasing—and it has been increasing rapidly.”

One of the companies indicted is Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co, a state-owned firm that is central to Beijing’s “Made in China 2025” scheme to dominate new high-technology industries. This week the Commerce Department said it had put Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit on a list of entities that cannot buy components, software, and technology goods from U.S. firms.

The Department of Justice described the scheme:

New Caledonia to Vote in an Independence Referendum

Voters in New Caledonia, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean some 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) east of Australia, will go to the polls on Nov. 4 to decide whether they desire independence from France. With a population of roughly 270,000 people, the islands are heavily dependent on financing from Paris. But they are also home to around 15 percent of the world’s reserves of nickel, a metal present in a vast line of products from steel to electronics, and host French naval and air forces. Secessionist groups in Europe, as well as New Caledonia’s neighbors, will be watching the vote closely.

Bolton specifically announced new sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry and executive measures to prevent Americans from doing business with the Cuban military regime, which controls most of the Cuban economy, including its tourism sector.

“I am here to deliver a clear message from the president … to those three regimes,” Bolton said. “We will not reward torturers, murderers, and abusers.”

“The Common Travel Area (CTA) is open to exploitation by criminals, illegal immigrants and extremists who use the border to facilitate and enable criminality,” revealed the NCA — the British equivalent of America’s FBI — in its National Strategic Assessment of Serious Organised Crime for 2018.

Caravan is a Concerted Effort by Honduran Leftists to Bypass U.S. Immigration Laws

According to The Wall Street Journal, “Honduran congressman Bartolo Fuentes of the left-wing Libre Party” claims credit for organizing it, and numerous immigrant organizations financially support such efforts. The question is why now?

One reason is foreigners see our immigration system is overwhelmed and seek to take advantage of it.

Syracuse University’s TRAC system cites 765,000 pending immigration court cases nationwide, up from 629,000 last year and 200,000 a decade ago. The average wait for a court appearance is 717 days.

That backlog allows immigrants to start their new life here, and many will choose to fade into the background rather than face an immigration judge. According to the Justice Department, 39 percent of immigrants who applied for asylum in 2016 failed to show up for their court hearing; it was 43 percent in 2015.

It’s also possible that caravan instigators wanted to influence the midterm elections by trying to embarrass the Trump Administration—perhaps hoping for a repeat of the public-relations beating the administration took because of family separations. If so, it appears likely to backfire.

A Rasmussen poll found that 51 percent of voters believe Trump should stop the caravan from entering the U.S. illegally; 38 percent disagree.

Democrats Caught Lying and Cheating as They Try to Use Migrant Caravan to Gain Power

Left desperate to stop impending red wave

Cisco says miscreants are actively exploiting a SIP vulnerability in its networking gear that it disclosed on Wednesday.

The bug, CVE-2018-15454, lies within code in some Adaptive Security Appliances, and its Firepower Threat Defense software, that handles Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) packets. SIP is the signalling protocol used in IP telephony.

The advisory warns that an attacker can hose a vulnerable system offline “by sending SIP requests designed to specifically trigger this issue at a high rate.”

If your network is being attacked this way, you’ll see a large number of incomplete SIP connections per second, viewed with the show conn port 5060 command. Meanwhile, show processes cpu-usage non-zero sorted will show high CPU utilization. If an affected unit crashes, there will be an “unknown abort of the DATAPATH thread” error message, the advisory added.

Global Refugee Roundup: Spanish Caravan Edition

[…]

Spain

Spain—which has become a refugee dumping ground ever since other European nations such as Hungary and Italy got wise and started rejecting them—is now pleading with the EU to give more financial aid to Morocco so bloodthirsty African Muslims who are aided across the Mediterranean by criminal syndicates don’t bankrupt their country. In October the EU tossed $275 million to Morocco to keep Moroccans in Morocco, but apparently it’s not nearly enough. Moroccan officials say that in 2017, they prevented 65,000 migrants from sailing toward Europe but claim they need more money to stanch the flow. …

Israel

Unlike most countries across the globe—in fact, nearly all others—Israel is an ethnostate that reserves the right to decide who’s Jewish and who isn’t. The Ethiopian Falashmura community claim to be Jewish, but the Israeli government says, “Nah,” …

Japan

The Japanese, who have one of the world’s strictest immigration policies and don’t seem to care what people call them as a result, have finally caved to international pressure.

They have promised that by the year 2020, they will double the number of refugees they accept.

In that year, they promise to take in a whopping grand total of sixty refugees.

Would that everyone was as wise as the Japanese.

Invasion of the USA is Not a Human Right!

There’s something very wrong with this world, today. We all know it. We all feel it. There’s something in the air that is causing anxiety and a general feeling of unease in the world at large. There are people who appear to be losing their minds on command and creating all manner of chaos and heinous crimes. Although mental illness has always been a part of some within the family of humanity it seems—recently—to have taken an ugly turn towards an even more aggressive madness in all too many.

Certainly—and in my opinion—some of these things that have lately occurred can largely be chalked up to the increasing number of “false flags” created by an apparent large group of government Deep State types who do not want to give up the lucrative corruption flow for which they have sold their souls, there are other things that simply defy logic. One of these is the belief of too many of this world’s poor that they have the right to invade—by whatever means necessary—and take that which they want from our country…and from us.

The Cloward-Piven strategy—”overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of “a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty”—is in full force these days and the Luciferian Left within the borders of the USA are aiding, abetting and implementing it with assistance from the likes of leftist billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer. Cloward-Piven, however, creates just the opposite of its falsely quoted intent and—instead—creates massive poverty for the people, while allowing the ‘rulers’ to steal everything from the now impoverished citizens.

Italy: Prosecutor Asks to Shelve Salvini Migrant ‘Kidnapping’ Case

‘Purely political decision’

(ANSA) — Catania, November 2 — A Catania prosecutor on Thursday asked to shelve a case of alleged kidnapping by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini of rescued migrants aboard the Diciotti Coast Guard ship.

The prosecutor said the deputy premier and anti-migrant League leader had “made a purely political choice” in a 10-d ay stand-off with the EU over 150 or so Eritrean migrants.

Therefore, the judicial system could not pronounce on it, the prosecutor argued.

“I’m innocent. I could and had to block the immigrants,” Salvini said on Facebook.

Libyan Migrant Arrested in Rape of 10-Year-Old in Malmö, Sweden

A 30-year-old Libyan migrant has been arrested following the rape of a 10-year-old girl in Malmö, Sweden, according to local media.

The attack reportedly took place last Thursday near a bicycle shop in Malmö, where the suspect, identified as “Mohammed,” allegedly subjected the young girl to a “serious violent crime,” Fria Tider reports.

Mohammed is a citizen of Libya, and has been arrested or charged in connection with multiple sexual assaults since arriving in Sweden in 2009, including one involving a 14-year-old girl and another in which he was armed with a knife, according to Kvälls Posten.

He also has prior convictions for robbery and assault.

Swedish outlet Sydsvenskan reports that the man has confessed to the crime and is now being psychologically evaluated.

As Fria Tider notes, multiple aforementioned Swedish outlets fail to cite the suspect’s nationality or name.

Migrant Caravans Part of Larger Plan to Damage US

[…]

As a retired CIA career intelligence operations officer, I can assure everyone that the intelligence services of Iran, Russia, China, Cuba, and Venezuela, as well as the trained intelligence personnel from all terrorist groups and any others who have access, consider this migrant column an irresistible opportunity to infiltrate people into the United States. I certainly would, if in their position.

The Guatemalan president reported that about 100 people arrested out of the column marching towards the United States have links to terrorism, including ISIS. Former CIA Director and current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has warned publicly just how dangerous Venezuela is and that the threat needs to be taken seriously.

As a professional in the intelligence world, I understand that the United States has enemies. I understand that cooperation exists between terrorist groups, transnational criminal groups, and hostile foreign governments. It is the way of things.

However, we find ourselves in the predicament where the liberal Democratic Party leadership and the liberal mainstream media seemingly operate in agreement with the activities of these forces, who intend to damage and ultimately destroy us.
