The Old Folks at Home — In a Campground

Posted on by

The following video does not directly concern immigration or cultural enrichment. However, it’s well-known that the migrants who have arrived in Germany since 2015 are being bumped to the top of the queue for housing and other social benefits. That may help explain why an 84-year-old native German pensioner has to live in a campground instead of an apartment.

This travesty is especially egregious in a socialist welfare state like Germany, where working people pay extraordinarily high taxes. In return the state promises to take care of them in their old age. Is this what people who give up more than half their income should expect?

And is it going to get even worse in the future, as the ratio of third-world freeloaders to working Germans continues to increase?

Hamas Starts Yet Another War With Israel

Posted on by

Our Israeli correspondent MC sent us this message from Sderot:

It looks bad here. Reserves are being called up and roads have been closed in the area.

The missile to the Sharon last night was a huge escalation. It was homemade and had a large warhead — with a GRAD type range. It looks as if Hamas has reverse engineered something with a range up to 100km.

Local events are being cancelled, and Hamas is talking up a provocation, but at the same time claiming that the missile was a ‘mistake’. That will be the second of such mistakes in the last few weeks — a missile was intercepted just South of Tel Aviv about a month ago.

There are even claims that the ‘mistake’ was caused by the weather:

Hamas: Rocket Launch May Have Been Caused by ‘Bad Weather’

A Hamas official denied Israel’s accusation that it was behind Monday’s rocket strike on a town in central Israel, north of Tel Aviv, Monday morning which wounded seven Israelis and led Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to vow a strong response.

“No one from the resistance movements, including Hamas, has an interest in firing rockets from the Gaza Strip towards the enemy,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity, evoking the possibility that it may have been caused by “bad weather”…

The fake ‘mistake’ means that Hamas can claim that Israel is the aggressor and that any response is ‘disproportionate.

My experience with missiles in the Royal Navy tells me that the idea of a ‘mistake’ is just so much codswallop. It takes at least four approvals to ignite a missile. And one never points them at civilian areas, even for ‘fun’.

Corbyn’s ‘friends’ are one nasty piece of work, and birds of a feather…

I will keep you updated on how it feels if and when it escalates. My youngest son is likely to be called up in the next few hours.

A follow-up email from MC came in shortly afterwards:

“They Are Unable to Grasp That by Doing This, They Actively Destroy Our Own Culture”

Posted on by

The following video from Vienna features an interview by Michael Stürzenberger with Michael Ley, an Austrian political scientist, sociologist, and author. The occasion was a reception after a panel discussion about Islam and Jew-hatred. One of the panelists was FPÖ leader Heinz-Christian Strache, the Austrian vice-chancellor.

The interview includes a discussion about “political Islam”, which Henrik Clausen wrote about a few days ago in relation to the hate-speech case against Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. Conservative politicians in Austria have desperately grabbed onto the idea that there is a “political” Islam that can be separated from “non-political” Islam and somehow neutralized. By the time they discover their error, it will, of course, be too late.

“We Muslims Stand Here to Confirm and Insist on Our Identity”

Posted on by

Last Friday the Islamic supremacist group Hizb ut-Tahrir gathered in a public square in Copenhagen to communally raise their fundaments and hold a rally, waving the white flag of jihad. Danish citizens collected at the periphery of the event, waving Danish flags and trying to drown out the HuT speakers. Most likely the native Danes understood only the “Allahu Akhbar” in the speeches — everyone knows that phrase by now. However, with the help of an Arabic translator, we can fill in some of the rest of what was said by the HuT speakers.

A note on the white flag of jihad: There are several types of flags flown during jihad. The oldest one is probably al-raya, an example of which was flown by the Islamic State. Two versions of the standard shahada flag are used, one with white text on a black background, and the other its exact negative. The first is the banner carried by mujahideen during their military operations, while the second (kalma, black-on-white, the one seen in the video) is used by an administrative state under sharia governance. In other words, Hizb ut-Tahrir are declaring that the patch of ground they inhabit in Copenhagen has been claimed for the Ummah, and is subject to Islamic law.

Many Things Wicked This Way Come

Seneca III sends the latest on all the Brexit brouhaha.

Many Things Wicked This Way Come

by Seneca III

From The Guardian[1]… Panic stations you peasants, and you will obey:

Secret Cabinet Office document reveals chaotic planning for no-deal Brexit

Exclusive: paper says ‘critical phase’ could last months as fears rise over disruption to transport and food supplies.

The extent and range of the impact of a no-deal Brexit is revealed in a confidential Cabinet Office document that warns of a “critical three-month phase” after leaving the EU during which the whole planning operation could be overwhelmed.

The classified document, seen by the Guardian, sets out the command and control structures in Whitehall for coping with a no-deal departure and says government departments will have to firefight most problems for themselves — or risk a collapse of “Operation Yellowhammer”.

Leaked to the Guardian? Of course, but by whom? And, most importantly, why?

Whatever. This CONOP looks like it’s laying the groundwork for bringing many if not all of the provisions of Blair’s iniquitous 2004 ‘Civil Contingencies Act’[2] into effect in all but name. Bear in mind that the Civil Contingencies Directorate was quietly activated some months ago and is probably in the background playing a major part in the Yellowhammer planning and later execution processes.

Note:

The committee will be available to take an overview of the situation and make any relevant decisions including on the following areas but not limited to legislation, identifying funding opportunities, allocation of national level resources such as military, law enforcement or civil service resources, direction of government bodies and relaxation of regulations required at the ministerial level.

It has long been understood that one ploy used by governments desperate to cover up their own inadequacies and failures is to create a crisis then award themselves special powers to deal with it and afterwards clap themselves on the back, saying, “Look how well we did there,” whilst continuing to hold onto the special powers they had granted themselves.

By such means do free nations slide inexorably into totalitarianism. With a Muslim Home Secretary who has his eyes firmly set on 10 Downing Street and a current PM whose days are numbered, this should be a cause for deep concern amongst all free men and women.

In another related plot-within-plots, BBC Radio ‘News’ at 1200 hours today (23/3/19) opened with a long piece on the anti-democratic “gizus another referendum” mob marching in Londonistan led by all the usual suspects and supported and approved by Khan, of course. The prime guest talking head on the supposed ‘news flash’ was the loathsome Soubry peddling her usual treacherous drivel. Keep it up, Al Beeb, we’re all watching, and we know what you’re about. Our day will come.

Crackdown in New Zealand

Posted on by

A Kiwi reader sent us this email:

The chief censor in New Zealand has banned the Christchurch killer’s manifesto, and it is a serious crime to possess copies of it OR READ IT. It is equivalent to possessing child porn, a jailable offence.

So you need to post a warning at your link for NZ citizens.

It is now impossible to show anyone in New Zealand that our media and politicians are lying about the terrorist’s being “right-wing” (he claims to a traditional 1930s Fascist, a far-left ideology, and maintains that position throughout the document).

New Zealanders, beware!

I doubt they can read this warning, though. I would imagine that this website, like all the other “hate” sites, is now blocked in New Zealand.

If anyone wants to read Brenton Tarrant’s useless manifesto, it is here.

What are the “Values” Represented by Opening the Door to Jihadist Armies?

Posted on by

The following op-ed from Germany discusses the recent controversy over a remark by a CDU politician — a member of the same party as Angela Merkel — who said that it would be just fine if Germany had a Muslim chancellor by 2030.

Many thanks to JLH for translating this piece from Preußische Allgemeine Zeitung:

Upside Down

So something like this happens to the CDU too; for whom Armin Laschet feels responsible; and how we always stick with what we know.

Now it’s happening to them! There must have been some gleeful chortling in the AfD leadership after the noteworthy comment by the CDU/CSU parliamentary leader, Ralph Brinkhaus. The news agency Idea asked Brinkhaus whether a Muslim could become federal chancellor for the CDU in the year 2030, and he replied, “Why not, if he is a good politician and represents our values and political views.”

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania CDU head Vincent Kokert groaned in the Bild newspaper, “No matter how hard I try, I cannot believe that Ralph Brinkhaus said that — I just can’t.” Only the far, far left wing of the Union [CDU-CSU] finds the Brinkhaus remark even acceptable.

Genuine glee reigned among members of AfD. Normally it is their lot to experience what has just happened to the Union. That is, that some party representative blurts something out that is of service only to the opposition and does nothing for the home team.

So, OK, this fictional Muslim should represent “our values” and then he can be our Christian Democratic chancellor. But what does Brinkhaus mean by “our values”? We have learned that national security has received more than 700 leads to possible war criminals among asylum seekers and not followed up on them — while Chancellor Merkel has unrelentingly shown her happy face and everyone who tends to scent danger is called racist, arsonist or worse. What are the “values” represented by opening the door to jihadist armies?

And what about not following up on leads? If only that were all! It appears that influential groups were protective of Anis Amri, whose deportation was consequently repeatedly thwarted, until he had killed a dozen people. There were allegedly bureaucratic hurdles. Yes, yes, the mills of bureaucracy grind slow, don’t they. After the mass murder in Breitscheid Square,[1] the mills ran hot overnight and Amri’s “confidant” Bilel Ben Ammar was able to be gotten out of the country lickety-split.

So who is being pals with whom? At any rate, the Merkel government — in harmonious splendor with the opposition Green and Left parties, with media, churches, unions, employers, in unity unseen since 2014 — was at great pains to conceal the inpouring danger from us, and to punish any “traitor” who spoke of it. We would like to know what kind of “values” these are supposed to be, hiding behind this large-scale operation. Or maybe better not, since the mere thought of the likely answer can give us goose bumps.

Some things just make sense on their own. After the massacre in Paris in November 2015, NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) governor Armin Laschet of the CDU blustered: “It is irresponsible to connect the murders in Paris to immigration.” Was he right? It is more or less obvious. It depends on to whom Laschet feels he is “responsible.” Security experts connect so many members of the “Arab clans” living and active in his state with the fact that, “for humanitarian reasons,” NRW deports almost no one.

Update on the Senegalese Bus-Burner

Posted on by

Ousseynou Sy is a Senegalese migrant in Italy. On Wednesday he kidnapped 51 children and later torched the bus that was carrying them when police intercepted it. Thanks to resourceful students and competent police, the captives escaped from the bus without serious injury.

In the following video Giorgia Meloni — the leader of the anti-immigration party Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) and a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies — talks about the imperative to strip Mr. Sy of his Italian citizenship.

Many thanks to He Ha for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Many thanks to FouseSquawk for translating this article about Ousseynou Sy from Il Giornale:

The Senegalese who hijacked a bus with 51 small children on board is not apologizing for what occurred. He forcefully affirmed his gesture, and in fact, in front of the magistrates, explained the motives for the attack on the bus. “Repent? No repentance. It was something that I had to do and would do again. One hundred times. Why did I do it? To send a signal to Africa. The Africans must stay in Africa.”

Words that weigh and in fact underline how determined the man was in his death plan. As Corriere della Sera reports, the words of Sy are the confirmation of the strategic matrix of the driver’s gesture. He doesn’t even fear justice and the long legal process that he will have to face. “That’s nothing, I took it into account. I wanted a consequential gesture. The world had to talk about me,” he confided to his lawyer. Which instead seems to point to a mental infirmity. “In my judgment, he showed serious signs of imbalance, and the manner in which the investigating judge had to carry out the interrogation was aimed out verifying this aspect,” said the attorney, Davide Lacchini. “To him, he was not interested in the national reaction, but the impact on an international level that his action could have. He wanted to go to Linate [Milan’s airport] alone. Today, as yesterday, he constantly repeated that he didn’t want to hurt the children.”

But now, in fact, after the attack on the bus the doors of San Vittore prison have already been thrown open for him. There, other inmates have welcomed him with eggs and oranges. One throw landed against his cell. The prisoners didn’t allow him to close his eyes. He is located in the fifth [corridor], that for protected prisoners, the prisoners who cannot be housed together with the others. Within the prison code, those who attack children receive an added penalty which is experienced on a daily basis in relations with other prisoners. The rule doesn’t change for Sy, who has had to deal with this reality. He is seen in his cell with t-shirt and jeans over a checkered shirt. Slippers on his feet. As reported by Corriere, his clothes, those he wore on the bus, were partially burned. The final sign of a day of madness that has left a mark, perhaps forever, on the lives of 51 small children and their teachers.

Sweden Democrats Are Losing Their Leper Status

Gates of Vienna has been in the SD’s corner for many years. It is heartening indeed to see them rise, both at home and in the EU Parliament. These people have paid in blood and tears for their slow but sure progress.

Paris in the Spring — The Smell of Teargas on the Champs-Élysées!

Posted on by

The following documentary provides a close-up look at one of the recent Saturday demonstrations/riots by the Yellow Vests in Paris. The intensity of the violence is notable — not just police brutality (of which there seems to be plenty), but the dedicated, coordinated mass assaults against the police by the violent portion of the Yellow Vests. They appear to be hard-core revolutionaries eager to fight the police.
