Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/20/2018

A man shouting “Allahu Akhbar” approached policemen in Brussels and stabbed at least one of them in the neck. He was then shot and wounded by the police. Belgian authorities have not yet determined a motive for the attack, but say the incident had nothing to do with terrorism.

In other news, Australia, Poland, and Israel have joined the ranks of nations that will decline to sign the UN’s migration pact.

Acosta Has No Constitutional Right to a White House Pass

If you wanted a constitutional crisis, folks, federal judge Thomas Kelly has given us one with the issuance of a temporary restraining order requiring the Trump White House to reinstate CNN’s petulant Jim Acosta’s press pass giving him access to the building in which President Trump resides and leads the Free World.

Revoking Acosta’s press pass did not threaten the First Amendment rights of either CNN or Acosta. CNN is free to broadcast what it wants and report on anything it wants and Acosta is free to do the same. The funny thing about freedom of speech and freedom of the press is that while both freedoms are constitutionally guaranteed, the Constitution does not guarantee a right to a particular forum. There is no more right for Jim Acosta to have White House credentials than there is to have White House press conferences at all:

Brenda Snipes Resigns: ‘I Have Served the Purpose I Came Here for’

Brenda Snipes submitted her resignation as the elections supervisor of Broward County, Florida. Her decision came one day after Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum offered his second concession to Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in the Sunshine State’s gubernatorial election.

“I think I have served the purpose that I came here for, which was to provide a credible election product for our voters,” said Snipes last week during a press conference.

NBC’s local affiliate in South Florida reported: “[Brenda Snipes’s] office illegally destroyed 6,000 ballots in 2016 after they were counted but a judge ordered them to be preserved.”

Cop Tasked With Helping Child Sex Crime Victims Arrested for Raping a Child Victim He Was ‘Helping’

A disturbing case of police rape has surfaced out of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department this week as a detective assigned to handle victims of child molestation cases was arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl. The girl was a victim in a case the officer was investigating and had already been raped by someone else. Detective Neil Kimball, 45, was assigned to the Special Victims Bureau, a unit tasked with investigation cases of sex crimes against children. Kimball was arrested on Friday on suspicion of rape by force and “preventing or dissuading a witness or victim from testifying,” said Nicole Nishida, spokeswoman for the department’s Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau.

Given the number of victims Kimball has had contact with in the past, this case has caused grave concern at the department. According to the LA Times, Kimball has investigated dozens of child molestation cases in the last 5 years as a member of the elite specialized unit.

Federal Judge Finds Female Genital Mutilation Law Unconstitutional

In a major blow to the government, a federal judge in Detroit has declared the nation’s female genital mutilation law unconstitutional, thereby dismissing nearly all of the charges against two Michigan doctors and seven others accused of subjecting at least nine minor girls to genital cutting in the nation’s first FGM case.

The historic case involves minor girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, including some who cried, screamed and bled during the procedure and one who was given Valium ground in liquid Tylenol to keep her calm, court records show.

Gunman on the Loose After Fatal Shooting, Sexual Assault at Catholic Supply Store in St. Louis County

ST. LOUIS COUNTY • A 53-year-old House Springs woman was shot and killed by a gunman at a Catholic Supply store in a strip mall on Manchester Road on Monday afternoon, police said.

They identified her Tuesday morning as Jamie Schmidt, a customer at the store, where the gunman sexually assaulted at least one person before opening fire and then disappearing.

Tuesday morning police released a detailed description of the attacker, saying he was a white man, about 40 to 50 years old, and 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall. He was wearing a black or gray “paperboy-style” cap, a navy blue Carhartt-style jacket, a red, white and black plaid shirt, glasses, a brown belt with a a red and blue square on the buckle.

The shooting was reported to police at 3:19 p.m., and police shut down the shopping center and launched a manhunt that lasted into the night…

Politicians and Police Set Tyranny’s Perfect Example: Gun Confiscation

As a review of some of the current events that have been taking place in the U.S. recently, on 11/5/18, Anne Arundel County Police in Maryland shot and killed a man as they attempted to exercise a “red flag” gun removal order. Those “red flag” orders went into effect on October 1 of this year. Let’s take the definition of this new “game” directly from Wikipedia and examine it:

A red flag law is a “gun violence protection” law that permits police or family members to petition a state court to order the temporary removal of firearms from a person who may present a danger to others or themselves. A judge makes the determination to issue the order based on statements and actions made by the gun owner in question. After a set time, the guns are returned to the person from whom they were seized unless another court hearing extends the period of confiscation. Such orders are known as “Extreme Risk Protection Orders” (ERPO) in Oregon, Washington, Maryland, and Vermont, as “Risk Protection Orders” in Florida as “Gun Violence Restraining Orders” in California; as “risk warrants” in Connecticut; and as “Proceedings for the Seizure and Retention of a Firearm” in Indiana.

Returning to the incident in Maryland, take a look at this excerpt from CBS News from 11/6/18:

Neither of the officers were injured. Their names weren’t released.

It wasn’t clear why the “red flag” order was issued. A spokeswoman for the Maryland Judiciary denied a request from the Baltimore Sun to release protection order requests associated with the home, citing the law which states the orders are confidential unless a court rules otherwise. Michele Willis, the man’s niece, told the Baltimore Sun that one of her aunts requested the protective order against Willis, but she declined to say why.

Maryland’s law, which went into effect Oct. 1, is more broad in that it allows certain health care providers to seek an order, in addition to family members and law enforcement.

LOOK HOW THINGS WORK IN THE TOTALITARIAN HEIR TO THE SOVIET UNION THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS BECOME!

Sounds as if it’s something right out of Solzhenitsyn, but here it is:

The names of the cops were not released. [Secretive Policing]

The Baltimore Sun could not report on associated case actions. [Muzzling of the Press] Maryland Judiciary using a law to prevent the public’s knowledge without court approval. [Press & Public Censorship] An aunt reported him…but no reasons given by family or police. [“Finger-Pointing” initiated] Health Care reporters and family members can “blow the whistle and enable these “red flag” orders to be set in motion. [State Powers of Arrest and complete abrogation of rights under the Constitution of the United States with no recourse]

That’s it. Everyone with the “300 Spartans” patch and the “µ???? ?aß?” or “???O? ????” written on their sleeves? [ Translation: “Come and Take it!” ]

Yes, they will. They are. For now, they’re attempting to do it without a fight…passing the legislation (or circumventing it, rather) and forcing the compliance of the citizenry. They are in the process of doing far more, and another episode really summarizes the key concept: the Totalitarian mindset of elected officials. This piece is entitled, “California Democrat threatens “Nukes” if Americans don’t hand over their guns.”

This threat is not figurative: it is literal.

I strongly recommend reading the whole article. Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell (D, CA) is proposing that the government offer up to $1,000 for semi-automatic weapons, and a “buy-back” to place those firearms in the hands of the government…for an estimated cost of $15 billion…

This man should be removed from office immediately, no questions asked…placed upon administrative leave and then brought to bear for his statement.

The mindset is the danger: this is not the exception among politicians, but the norm. In these “neo-feudal” times, you the citizen are expected to wear your “uniform,” the tan (called “khakis” erroneously…a fabric composition substituted for a “color”) pants, and the red shirt of Target or the navy blue shirt of Wal-Mart. Wear them, and the little name tag, and give half of what you make to the government…and allow them to craft your lives…as you obey.

Once again, the “Benjamin Martin” character in “The Patriot” portrayed by Mel Gibson…that character’s lines were correct:

“An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king.”

They are coming for the guns. They are marching forward with their legislation, to provide “legitimacy” for their actions “under the color of law.” Their doorkickers are “ass-kickers,” in good shape and sharp reflexes with good mental acumen. They are “psychologically protected” to allow them to act with full force without restraint: protected with direct deposit of their check, protected with life insurance, and protected with healthcare for their families…all of their basics taken care of, plus a badge: they’re covered, when they come for the citizens.

The last step for a full-blown tyranny before the actual collapse (political, military, economic, or a combination thereof) is evident in the tyrannical measures and inflictions they foster against their own populace.

Voters Electing Democrats Who Despise Them

Kyrsten Sinema might not be able to stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue, shoot someone, and lose no support, but she could and did insult the very voters she was trying to woo and be the next duly-elected senator from the Copper State.

The former Green Party gadfly and 9th Congressional District Representative has at last been declared the winner of Jeff Flake’s departed Senate seat. She’s the first Arizona Democrat to win a Senate election in 30 years.

She’s also the first high-profile politician that I know who spent decades mocking her own constituents as drug-addled nincompoops, only to, in the end, receive their backing. Sinema’s record of contempt for her own people is nonpareil. The way she openly and endlessly complains about the loons in her state is akin to an elderly crank who never stops complaining about the one time the cable company once tried to upcharge him for Showtime.

On multiple occasions, Sinema has referred to her home state as “crazy,” a “meth lab for democracy,” and an accursed place no good ever emerges from. Not once, it seems, did she ever stop to think how this obloquy reflects on her: an Arizonan, after all. One is reminded of Flaubert’s classic quote: “By dint of railing at idiots, one runs the risk of becoming an idiot oneself.”

Despite her best attempts to shower voters with disdain, Sinema defeated her opponent, Martha McSally, a decorated war pilot with the distinction of being the first woman to ever fly a U.S. Air Force combat mission. Perhaps the self-loathing Arizonan was right this whole time: Arizonans went with the pink-tutu accoutered Taliban sympathizer over a distinguished veteran. Quite a fine accomplishment for a state previously represented by the late John McCain.

[Comment: Bottom line… now the veneer has come off and Democrat ugliness is being revealed everywhere… never, ever vote for a Democrat (ie Communist).]

Corbyn: Labour Will Stop Britain Fully Leaving European Union on WTO Brexit Terms

British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn says his party will try to stop Britain leaving the European Union without an agreement if Prime Minister Theresa May’s divorce deal is rejected by Parliament.

Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party, said in a speech to the Confederation of British Industry that “neither the Cabinet nor Parliament would endorse such an extreme and frankly dangerous course.”

He said “Labour will not countenance a no-deal Brexit,” which could cause upheaval for businesses and people.

But it is unclear what would happen if Parliament rejected the deal when it is put to a vote, likely next month.

Corbyn said the proposed agreement is “a botched, worst-of-all-worlds deal which is bad for Britain.”

Labour is calling for Britain to stay in a customs union with the EU and to have a “strong” relationship with the bloc’s single market. Critics say that’s a vague and unachievable goal.

She was then asked for proof of address but given no clear instructions where to send this and then she received notification her account had been suspended. Other Party members told her they had the same experience.

Gerard Batten MEP, UKIP Leader, slammed the “nakedly political” actions of Paypal. He pointed out that it was never those who support open borders or the politically correct establishment that have their accounts closed.

Closing peoples accounts is “simply wrong” he insisted as many people use the service to pay their bills etc: “I will be writing tothe head of Paypal for an explanation of why these accountshave been shut down.”

PARIS (AFP) — Paris prosecutors have launched an inquiry into the origins of thousands of euros donated to President Emmanuel Macron’s election campaign last year, a legal source told AFP on Tuesday.

The move follows an alert from France’s campaign finance oversight body this month, after it was unable to determine the sources of a total of 144,000 euros ($164,000) given to Macron’s Republic on the Move (LREM) movement.

The funds were contributed via checks, bank transfers or electronic payments, the source said, confirming a report on Europe 1 radio.

Italy: Boccia Says in Favour of Incinerators

Amazed M5s not realise sending trash abroad where they use them

(ANSA) — Rome, November 20 — Confindustria chief Vincenzo Boccia said Tuesday he was in favour of waste incinerators amid a row between the government partners, the 5-Star Movement (M5S) and the League.

“I stand with the incinerators,” said the head of the big business group.

He said he was amazed that the M5S, which is “in favour of reducing waste in spending, does not realise we are putting rubbish on ships, we’re sending it to other countries where they use incinerators, and we are paying for this”.

M5S leader Luigi Di Maio has squashed League leader Matteo Salvini’s call for incinerators across Campania and especially in its Land of Fires area where toxic waste arson fires are a major problem.

Italy: Demolition of Eight Rome Casamonica-Clan Villas Begins

End of 30 years of disrespect for the law says Rome Mayor Raggi

(ANSA) — Rome, November 30 — Authorities in Rome started the demolition of eight illegally built villas belonging to members of the Casamonica criminal clan early on Tuesday. The operation on the east side of the Italian capital was 10 months in the planning, involved 600 municipal police and begin in the presence of Mayor Virginia Raggi. “Today we are clearing and knocking down eight illegal villas,” Raggi, a member of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), said via Facebook.

“It is the end to 30 years of disrespect for the law and a strong signal against crime and the Casamonica clan”.

Spain Threatens to Oppose Brexit Deal Over Gibraltar Veto

Spain’s prime minister warned on Tuesday that Madrid would vote against the Brexit deal agreed between London and Brussels if it does not guarantee Madrid’s veto over Gibraltar’s future status.

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May is due to sign a treaty with EU leaders to leave the bloc on Sunday, but Spain’s warning over the contested British territory on Spain’s southern tip may add another complication.

“As a country, we can’t conceive that what will happen with the future of Gibraltar will depend on a negotiation between Britain and the European Union,” Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told a business conference in Madrid on Tuesday.

The EU’s Dangerous New Confidence Game

At the start of this decade, a minor story occurred that set the scene for the years that have followed. In 2010, a Saudi lawyer named Faisal Yamani wrote to the Danish newspapers that had published cartoons of Islam’s prophet, Mohammed. Claiming to act on behalf of 95,000 descendants of Mohammed, the Saudi lawyer said that the cartoons were defamatory and that legal proceedings would thereby begin.

However, everything about the supposed legal claim reeked. How had Mr Yamani located all these descendants? How had he come up with exactly 95,000 of them? And how could you claim that a statement about somebody who died 1,400 years ago was “defamatory”? Legally, one cannot “defame” the dead.

Janine and Shane Scott took Elissa to the Big Apple for five days without asking permission from the headteacher of St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School in Stockton-On-Tees, believing she would allow it under exceptional circumstances.

But they arrived back home to find £60 fines which they refused to pay on principle. This landed them in Teeside Magistrates Court, where a representative of Stockton Council said she would accept a caution if they pleaded guilty.

Tehran Optimistic: Europe Will Save the Nuclear Agreement

According to Iranian news agency Mehr and Tasmnim, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Bahram Ghasemi, has called for the major powers to remain faithful to the nuclear agreement signed in 2015.

Bahram, during the usual Monday press conference, revealed that “there are some ambiguities about the implementation of the EU mechanism to protect trade with Iran from American sanctions. But we remain confident that Europeans can save the agreement “.

In recent months, the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Defense Policy of the European Union, Federica Mogherini announced the decision to establish a financial vehicle with which to circumvent the unilateral sanctions imposed in Teheran by the United States, called SPIRO (European Special Financial Mechanism). This Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) will function as the clearing house of a stock exchange, to allow Iran to continue to sell oil. The mechanism will not include the other signatories of the Iranian nuclear agreement, China and Russia, which will adopt their own payment mechanisms with Tehran.

The United States, the 7 last August, started the first tranche of the sanctions imposed against Teheran, which concern companies that operate in the sectors of the commercialization of the dollar, gold, software for the management of industrial processes and various minerals. as graphite, raw metals and coal.

Since November 5, further measures have come into effect that affect both the country and the activities of Tehran that trade with the regime of the ayatollahs and operate in the banking and oil sectors.

NATO Mapping Software Now Available to Chinese Military, Report Finds

China has obtained cutting-edge mapping software used by NATO and US militaries to collect intelligence on the battlefield, putting its armed forces on equal footing with the most advanced Western armies, a report says.

A Belgium-based defense contractor Luciad has sold the software to China, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) citing Chinese government sources. The software, which includes a Luciad Lightspeed application, is used to map the terrain and ensure situational awareness of military commanders.

The software, which is in used by NATO and US militaries, visualizes changes in enemy positions and identifies targets in real time. It’s 75 times faster than its closest competitor and is remarkably accurate. The same software is reportedly employed by US Special Operations Forces, whose raid on Osama bin Laden in Pakistan made headlines in 2011.

Notably, a foreign company supplying software to the Chinese government must fully reveal its codes for a security check. But it’s unclear if Luciad complied with the requirement. Much to the concern of the US military, China has made an array of remarkable breakthroughs in military hi-tech over the past years. Beijing heavily invested in advanced military technologies, nearly outpacing the Americans.

Italy Orders Migrant-Rescue Ship Aquarius be Seized

Medical-aid NGO MSF probed over alleged dangerous-waste dumping

(ANSA) — Rome, November 20 — Italian judicial authorities on Tuesday ordered the preventative seizure of the Aquarius migrant-rescue ship in relation to a probe into the alleged illegal dumping of waste in which Medical-aid NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF — Doctors Without Borders) is under investigation. The ship is currently in Marseilles.

The case regards the alleged dumping of dangerous and potentially infectious refuse, including medical materials, without the waste being separated, as if it were ordinary household waste.

Prosecutors suspect that 24,000 kilos of waste was dumped in this way on 44 different occasions.

The waste was alleged dumped in 11 ports — Trapani, Pozzallo, Augusta, Catania and Messina in Sicily; Vibo Valentia, Reggio Calabria and Corigliano Calabro in Calabria; Naples and Salerno in Campania; and Brindisi in Puglia.

In total, 24 people are under investigation in the probe conducted by State and finance police and coordinated by Catania prosecutors, sources said.

The authorities also requested the seizure of 460,000 euros.

“I was right to stop the NGOs’ ships (landing in Italian ports),” Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said via Twitter.

“Not only did I stop the trafficking of migrants but, according to what has emerged, I stopped the trafficking of refuse too. #portichiusi (#portsclosed)”.

MSF said that the Italian judicial authorities’ request was a “disproportionate and unfounded measure, purely aimed at criminalising lifesaving medical-humanitarian action at sea”. “After two years of defamatory and unfounded allegations of collusion with human traffickers, judicial investigations, and bureaucratic obstacles against our humanitarian work, we are now accused of organised crime aimed at illicit waste trafficking,” said Karline Kleijer, MSF’s head of emergencies.

The NGO said the in-port operations, including waste management, of its search-and-rescue vessels had always followed standard procedures.

Hollywood Erases Hope

On November 9, a film with star power titled Boy Erased debuted. It’s a direct attack on the idea that young people (or any) with unwanted same-sex desires are entitled to professional counseling.

The cast includes Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe, who play Christian parents who coerce their 19-year-old son into what the film calls a “gay conversion therapy” program.

Not surprisingly, the media are promoting the film.

In a brief review, the Washington Post claimed that, “by one estimate, nearly 700,000 Americans have been subjected to what’s known as conversion therapy, a practice that attempts to change one’s sexual orientation and — without evidence of efficacy — is still legal in 41 states.”

Think they have an agenda? Why not frame it: “In nine states, clients’ constitutional rights have been violated by state laws preventing them from getting the professional counseling they need to help them recover their natural sexuality. And In 14 states, parents are barred from securing licensed reparative therapy for their children.”

In his paper, “Are Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE) Effective? Are They Harmful? What the Evidence Shows,” Family Research Council Senior Fellow for Policy Peter Sprigg summarizes:

“Critics of SOCE make two claims — that it is ineffective, and that it is harmful. Six studies or surveys from 2000 to 2018 are reviewed, all of which show that SOCE can be effective for some clients in bringing about significant change in some components of sexual orientation. Few harms were reported. Older reports, including 600 studies and five meta-analyses, showed the same. One widely-cited report on harms, with a sample selected for that purpose, offered almost entirely anecdotal rather than statistical evidence. These studies make clear that the evidence for the effectiveness of SOCE far outweighs the evidence of its harm.” ============

Go Ahead, Representative Swalwell: Make my Day

Gun control advocates are tactically referring to this proposed effort as a “buyback” for the same reason restauranteurs call the Patagonian toothfish a Chilean sea bass on their menus. A government “buyback” of guns may sound much more palatable for the American public than a “forcible government confiscation” of firearms, but it doesn’t change the nature of the thing.

The actual choice for Americans, under Swalwell’s proposal, would be to “sell” their guns to the government, surrender them with no recompense, or have the government forcibly confiscate them, with offenders facing prosecution or violence at the hands of government agents. This is, of course, not a choice at all, but it presents the veneer of choice, meant to hide the constitutional rights that would be stolen from American citizens.

But what’s most amazing about all of this is the ease with which the confiscation of heretofore-legal firearms from millions of Americans is being proposed in open forums today. It is, after all, impossibly illogical to conclude that such an action by the federal government would not be in direct violation of the Second Amendment.

7 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/20/2018

  1. Here is the news you missed.
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6404935/Moment-suicide-bomber-ignores-police-warning-shots-blows-Chechnya.html

    The girl judging by the name – half-breed. Russian mother, father – from the Caucasus. Mother raised daughters alone.

    Judging by the surname, she married a Russian Muslim convert. And as we know – the most radical neophytes.

    This is a very strange story. Now there are publications in our media that the suicide bombing did not occur on religious grounds, but against the background of personal turmoil. Her husband beat her and took away her children.

    It is not clear that they want to hide from us.

  2. Australia 🙂

    [Prime Minister] Scott Morrison is following in Donald Trump’s footsteps by refusing to sign a global covenant on migration.

    The prime minister says the UN’s Global Compact on Migration would compromise Australia’s border security and undermine its immigration settings.

    “It doesn’t distinguish between those who illegally enter Australia and those who come the right way,” https://www.wellingtontimes.com.au/story/5769327/scott-morrison-snubs-un-migration-pact/

    A small step, but the direction is good. 🙂
    A lot more to learn about islam; that islam is islam!

  3. UN was established / created after WWII to replace The League of Nations that was created after WWI to solve international problems peacefully. It proved a failure. Why? It was made of the same nations that fought each other.

    UN could not stop any wars: because wars come from killing the truth, dishonesty and lies. UN today is controlled by muslim countries, hence Migration Pact.

    UN migration pact : designed by UN to force Western countries to accept the mass production of muslimjihadis by muhammadan wombs to take over this miserable planet.

    It’s easy to colonize the supine nations of the west by confident strong-willed muslims.

    Abulia will drag the western nations to disasters.

  4. Lots of Alex Jones news today, better prepare a bag of salt, because I’m going to need many a grain for that…

  5. “In other news, Australia, Poland, and Israel have joined the ranks of nations that will decline to sign the UN’s migration pact.”

    The original list of countries refusing to sign the migration convent did not include Israel, making me think Israel was indulging a suicide pact. I’m happy to see Israel maintains a strong sense of its own survival.

    In my opinion, the most nefarious part of the convent is that it claims to be non-binding. But, every country has traitorous judges who put roadblocks into efforts to protect the country: prevent deportation actions, demand ever-more-expensive judicial review measures, and institute endless delays for the most basic protective measures, like incarceration of pending applicants.

    By signing onto this convent, any country will give ammunition to its activist judges, who can now cite the very fuzzy convent declarations as part of international law to which their country subscribed.

  6. I really like to read the news of the “list of extremist materials.”
    For example, the number 4607 is written:
    https://lidrekon.ru/
    “Text and video materials of the” Position of Jihad “in 4 parts: part 1, beginning with the words” Say – this is my direct path … “and ending with the words” … until the Mujahid returns in the path of Allah “, lasting 23 minutes. 15 sec. . ”

    The following are references to this “extremist material” and an exception:

    “… with the exception of the suras, ayats and quotations from the Quran contained in them”

    In Russia, in 2015, Putin issued a law, according to which “texts of the holy books” cannot be considered extremist.
