In other news, exit polls indicate that today’s election in Israel is still too close to call, so it is not yet known whether Benjamin Netanyahu will be able to continue as prime minister.

Gold Homicide: The Cartel Took Out a Contract!

On Friday, my wife and I drove two and half hours from Milano to the foothills of the Matterhorn, the most famous mountain in Europe, and hiked from Breuil-Cervinia to the waterfalls that are running this time of year. In town, a local guide told me about the movement of the glacier we saw up high. It is so slow that you’ ll never notice it with the naked eye, but if you monitor it for a decade, you won’t believe the difference that water underneath the glacier is making; it is MOVING.

This is exactly what central banks want to achieve with fiat currencies: a slow, almost boring decline of 2%-3% a year for a whole decade. By 2029, your savings will buy 20%-30% less. If you could afford a $200K home today, you’ ll only be able to purchase a $140K house in ten years. John Maynard-Keynes called it the greatest form of theft since you don’t really notice it. This is a hidden tax.

There will be many more of these orchestrated attacks on precious metals, going forward. The price has run high too quickly to just get left alone.

AI Expert Says We Are Summoning Robot “Entities” Who Will Treat us Like Ants

They “don’t give a s**t about you even in the slightest.”

AI expert Geordie Rose says that tech developers are summoning “entities” into existence which will have the same indifference to humans as we have towards ants.

“They not gonna be like us, they’re gonna be aliens…they’re gonna be way smarter than every single person in this room in ways that we can’t even comprehend,” said Rose.

He then mentioned Elon Musk’s concerns about artificial intelligence taking over humanity, but cautioned that the word “demons” doesn’t even capture the true scope of what will happen.

Rose then cited H.P Lovecraft’s concept of “cosmic indifference,” where the universe is occupied by entities who “don’t give a s**t about you even in the slightest.”

“The same way that you don’t care about an ant is the same way they’re not gonna care about you,” said Rose.

He went on to say that “these things we’re summoning into the world right now…are more like the Lovecraftian The Great Old Ones, they’re entities that are not necessarily going to be aligned with what we want.”

Rose said that this massive transformation was happening in the background while people were distracted bickering about politics.

Trump said that RINO Republicans were losing relevance in Washington since he became president.

“They are pretty much on respirators. They are gasping for air,” he said. “But we do have some bad people that you wouldn’t believe.”

Georgia Homeowner Fatally Shoots Three Teens in Masks During Attempted Robbery

A Georgia homeowner wasn’t messing around when three teens in masks tried to rob him and two others around 4 a.m. in what appears to be an attempted home invasion and robbery according to authorities. According to the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office, the teenagers walked up to the man’s home in Conyers, Georgia wearing masks.

The three teens, ages 15, 16 and 16, “attempted to rob three individuals in the front yard” of the home.

When one of the teens “brandished a gun and fired shots” at the people in the yard, a victim of the attempted robbery fired back at the three teens. One of the teens died at the scene, but the other two died at the hospital.

The local sheriff said that when the deputies arrived, one teen was right at the street and the driveway while another was “a little bit down the street.”

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the sheriff said that this case could be a “stand-your-ground” case after interviews with the three people who were being robbed and shot back.

Hillary Clinton Suggests She Lost Wisconsin and Michigan to Trump in 2016 Because ‘Millions of Voters Were Purged From the Rolls’ (Video)

Hillary Clinton just won’t stop whining about her 2016 election loss.

Loser Hillary spoke at George Washington University on Tuesday where she claimed that she is counseling 2020 Democrat hopefuls on how to run a successful campaign.

Clinton said that ‘voter suppression,’ fake news stories and the evil Electoral College contributed to her crushing election loss.

“You can run the best campaign and have the best plans and get the nomination and win the popular vote and you can lose the Electoral College and therefore the election,” Hillary said.

Hillary even suggested that she lost historically blue states such as Wisconsin and Michigan to Trump because millions of voters were purged from the rolls.

“Voter purging is another form of voter suppression. Between 2012, when President Obama ran, and 2016, when I ran, 12 million — 12 million voters — were purged from the rolls,” Hillary said.

We have many questions about that plan, such as where does Biden think he’s going to find 720 million women?

Leftist Dark Money Group Behind Supposed Grassroots ‘Impeach Kavanaugh’ Movement

NEW YORK — Demand Justice, an organization founded by former members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and associated with a “social welfare organization” financed by billionaire activist George Soros, has played a central role in leading activism against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh based on a quickly deteriorating claim in a controversial New York Times article…

The news media has routinely produced articles on Demand Justice protesters, with many pieces failing to inform readers that this is not a grassroots group but an organization spawned by professional organizers and tied to deep leftist funding.

Brian Fallon, the head of Demand Justice, served as press secretary for Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. The group’s digital team is headed by Gabrielle McCaffrey, who was a digital organizer for Clinton’s campaign.

In an interview with the New York Times, Fallon would not comment on the source of the group’s financing, but the newspaper noted that he was recently a featured speaker at the conference of the Democracy Alliance, a grouping of progressive donors.

Democracy Alliance’s founding donors include billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer. Indeed, Fallon’s panel at Democracy Alliance was moderated by Sarah Knight of Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

Muslim Mayor of Prospect Park, N.J., Enraged at Being Questioned by Border Patrol on Return From Turkey

Mohamed Khairullah is back, and he’s mad.

Khairullah, the mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey, recently enjoyed a junket to Turkey to visit relatives who are, according to the North Jersey Record, “Syrians displaced by war.” (Khairullah himself fled Syria in 1980.) Khairullah and his family “visited a beach, historic sites around Istanbul and a mosque.” The mayor also made the trip into a working vacation: Khairullah “met with mayors of different towns to talk about government and business.” But the warm glow of his holiday vanished when he flew into JFK International Airport, and was, he claims, held for no less than three hours for questioning. It was, he says, “hurtful.”

New National Security Advisor Once Said U.S. Could Take Losing 20 Million People in a Nuclear War

During an interview with with journalist Robert Scheer in 1982, Kupperman said the U.S. could ‘win’ a nuclear war at the expense of a mere 20 million deaths.

Now Marianne Williamson Claims She Didn’t Say What She Said About Conservatives

Last week I told you about Marianne Williamson, one of the only Democrats who’s even remotely likable as a human being, complaining about the cruelty of the political left in America. In her own words: “What does it say that the conservatives are nicer to me?”

“I didn’t think the left was as mean as the right. They are!”

This is absolutely, positively, 100% true. Lefties are awful, especially to women. No insult is too cruel. No lie is too insane. Anything goes. Then lefties project their own behavior onto their political opponents, and congratulate themselves for condemning it. They’re lunatics. Whereas conservatives, who don’t agree with Williamson’s policies at all, are decent to her because she seems like an okay person. They’re able to separate the person from the politics. Most of them are capable of that, anyway.

But Williamson wants the votes of the people who hate her because she’s standing in the way of Sanders or Warren or one of those other kooks. So now Williamson is backpedalling.

France: Thousands of Children Poisoned With Notre Dame Toxic Lead, Authorities Afraid to Alert People, Fearing Riots

More than 6,000 children under the age of six were exposed to alarming levels of lead dust after a mammoth blaze struck the Notre Dame cathedral in April, a new report has claimed. The authorities were afraid to alert the people because it could have sparked a huge mass riot against the Mozlem beasts who set it on fire.

An investigation by the New York Times found that ‘dangerous dust’ was scattered across the streets of Paris when flames engulfed 460 tons of lead on the roof and spire of the Gothic cathedral.

The report, which drew on confidential documents, police reports, and lead measurements by the Culture Ministry, revealed French authorities ‘had indications’ that lead exposure could pose a problem 48 hours after the fire — but it was a month before city officials ordered testing.

‘The state was afraid to make people afraid,’ Anne Souyris, the city’s deputy mayor in charge of health, told the paper. ‘They thought that they would protect people by not communicating about the lead issue’.

Tests showed at least 18 day care centers, preschools and primary schools had levels of lead dust above the country’s standard for buildings hosting children.

In dozens of other public spaces, including parks and plazas, lead levels were found to be more than 60 times above the French safety guideline of 93 micrograms per square foot.

UK: Anti-Brexit Lawyer Admits a ‘Flaw’ In Remainer Act Could Allow No Deal Exit

Prominent anti-Brexit activist and lawyer Jolyon Maugham has admitted that there is a “flaw” in the Benn Act which could allow a no deal Brexit on October 31st.

Johnson’s predecessor Theresa May had agreed a withdrawal treaty with the EU, but it was voted down three times in the House of Commons. While Mr Johnson still pursues a renegotiated deal with the bloc, he had pledged Brexit on October 31st, with or without a deal. However, the Remainer-dominated Parliament sought to thwart a clean break and succeeded in passing a law to stop no deal and force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek another extension of Article 50.

However, Remainer activists claim it was an intentional means to stop pro-EU MPs from ‘having their voices heard on Brexit’ — otherwise continuing their battle to stop the UK leaving the EU — alleging the prime minister lied to Queen Elizabeth II in his reasons for prorogation.

UK: Nasty Moment a Young Girl Launches Into a Vile Rant Against Bus Passenger Telling Him: ‘You Smell of Curry You Dumb B****’

This is the shocking moment a young girl launches a vile tirade of abuse at a male ‘Indian’ passenger on a bus.

Commuters were horrified when the girl screamed in the face of the man, on a bus in West London.

The fight is said to have erupted after the girl’s mother got into an argument with the bus driver, in which she claimed it was overcrowded.

When the male passenger got involved in the argument, the girl shouted at him: ‘You smell of curry you dumb b**** go back to your f****** Southall slum’!

The incident took place on the 195 bus from Romney Road in Brentford towards Hayes town on Saturday 14th September.

The passenger had become irritated by the girl’s behavior towards the bus driver and asked the girl’s mother to tell her to stop shouting, which is when she hurled abuse at him.

Her mother is then seen restraining the girl, to which she responds ‘no let me hit’.

The man can be heard taunting her, telling her that the bus passengers agree with him claiming ‘everyone’s on my side’.

UK: The Push to End Free Speech

In April 2018, Britain’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims began work on establishing a “working definition of Islamophobia that can be widely accepted by Muslims, political parties and the government”.

In December 2018, the group concluded its work with a “Report on the inquiry into a working definition of Islamophobia / anti-Muslim hatred.” The report defines “Islamophobia” as a form of racism, conflating religion with ethnic origin or nationality: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”

The report, furthermore, claims that a definition of Islamophobia is “instrumental” to “the political will and institutional determination to tackle it.”

Most political parties, including Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Conservatives, have adopted the broadened definition of Islamophobia, but it has not been adopted by the government.

Cardinal Pell Appeals Against Child Sex Conviction in High Court

Cardinal George Pell filed an appeal in Australia’s High Court Tuesday, insisting that he is innocent of sexually abusing a choirboy in the mid-1990s.

When Pell was first tried in 2018 for charges of assaulting two choirboys while he was archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s, the process ended in a hung jury, with a significant majority (10-2) favoring a declaration of “not guilty.”

In a second trial in December, a new jury found Pell guilty of the charges and in March 2019 an Australian judge sentenced Pell to six years in prison, with the possibility of parole after three years and eight months.

New Zealanders Face 5 Years in Jail for Not Handing in Banned Firearms

Report shows gun owners giving up their guns.

Following a ban on virtually all semi-automatic firearms, New Zealanders face 5 years in jail if they refuse to hand them in.

A France 24 report on the government’s new buyback scheme showed a line of gun owners wilfully giving up their guns in response to the Christchurch massacre earlier this year.

This despite the fact that the shooter himself said in his own manifesto that provoking mass gunfiscation was one of his intended goals. Mission accomplished.

Since the buyback scheme began, 19,000 firearms have been handed in. Most of the guns seen being handed in looked like ordinary rifles, not AR-15s.

Inspector Terry Van Dillen said he “accepted” that some people would be emotional giving up their guns due to them having been handed down by families for generations.

I’m sure any potential future mass shooters are gleefully handing in their firearms to police as I write this.

New Zealand’s gang members even publicly announced they would refuse to hand in any of the “banned” firearms.

Disarming responsible people and making them easier targets for actual criminals.

Genius idea.

[Comment: This looks like a staged propaganda photo, designed to dispirit New Zealand gun owners.]

‘Offensive to Muslims’: Aussie Butcher Refuses to Remove ‘Not Halal’ Sign

A butcher shop in Australia has refused to signage that declares its products are “not halal certified,” in defiance of advertising authorities alleging it was “inciting hatred” towards Islamic people by advertising its wares in such a way.

The Valley Butchers in Adelaide, South Australia, became the subject of a complaint to the Australian Advertising Standards Authority after the owners put up a sign that originally read “non halal certified” on their store front, surrounded by smaller stickers of Australian national emblems of kangaroos and emus.

Valley Butchers defended the sign as merely a factual answer to a frequently asked question about the origin of their meat: “The sign is only stating that we are not halal approved. In no way is it meant in a malice way,” it said, according to the Daily Mail.

“We where getting asked quite frequently whether we are halal approved so I am just stating that we are not and that saves a lot of wasted time.”

Complainants saw it another way, with one quoted in the Ad Standards finding alleging the signage “perpetuate[s] a culture of vilification towards religious minorities, that results in harm towards them…. It pokes fun of a specific group of people based on religious belief.”

The board agreed, saying the sign amounted to “inciting hatred or contempt” against Muslims.

Genetically-Modified Mosquito Apocalypse Plan Backfires Spectacularly in Brazil

British biotech company Oxitec conducted a 27-month long experiment in 2013 Jacobina, Brazil, aimed at reducing the local mosquito population by 90 percent while preserving the genetic integrity of the local insect population.

The mosquitoes were supposed to contain a dominant lethal gene that would render the first generation of future offspring infertile (while also marking them with a fluorescent green protein gene). Well, as it often does, life found a way.

“The claim was that genes from the release strain would not get into the general population because offspring would die,”said ecologist and evolutionary biologist Jeffrey Powell who conducted a recent study into the efficacy and success of the GM mosquito trial. “That obviously was not what happened.

The original Oxitec research suggested that just three to four percent of the “infertile” offspring would survive into adulthood and would be too weak to reproduce anyway. These predictions were wrong. Very wrong.

Anywhere from 10 to 60 percent of the mosquitoes analyzed by Powell and his team featured genomes tainted by OX513A. While the scheme apparently worked initially, with a dramatic reduction in the population, it would later completely backfire around the 18-month mark, returning the number of mosquitoes in the area to pre-release levels.

The female population, it turns out, opted not to mate with the weaker, genetically-modified mosquitoes anyway, in a phenomenon known as “mating discrimination,” according to Powell and his team.

Some genetically-modified mosquitoes even showed signs of “hybrid vigor” in which the artificially-introduced genetic diversity actually made the mosquitoes stronger and more resilient, with the possibility of increased resistance to insecticides, Powell and his co-authors warned.

21-Year-Old Honduran Native Accused of Raping 6-Year-Old Girl in Montgomery County, Maryland — Faces 155 Years in Prison

A 21-year-old Honduran native was accused of raping a 6-year-old girl and then claimed that if she told anyone about the sexual assault he’d “ground her for 100 days.”

Wilder Hernandez-Nolasco, 21, of Silver Spring, Maryland began sexually assaulting the little girl (possibly a family member) when she was just 5 years old — and the Democrats endorse this evil with their silence.

The victim told police that Wilder Hernandez-Nolasco touched her vagina with his hand, digitally penetrated her vagina, exposed his penis, had the victim touch it and engage in vaginal intercourse, according to the statement of charges.

Angel Mom is Booed While Testifying About How Drunk Illegal Alien Killed Her Son With Pickup Truck… Drug Him on Motorcycle for Quarter-Mile

Last week, Maureen Maloney, a Boston mother of a young man who was tragically killed by an illegal alien was booed while she testified about the death of her son Matthew Denice in front of the Massachusetts legislature. Maloney was expressing her opposition to allowing illegal aliens to be granted drivers licenses.

Matthew Denice was 23 years old when a drunk-driving illegal with a criminal history hit him while he was driving his motorcycle. The 23-year-old was struck by a pickup truck that was driven by Nicolas Guaman, a 34-year old, drunk, illegal alien from Equador. Denice was entangled in the pickup truck’s wheel well and dragged about a quarter-mile to his death. The driver, whose 6-year-old son was in the truck with him when he hit and drug Denise for a quarter of a mile, did not stop.

Guaman was only sentenced 12-14 years for his crime. Maloney and her son have been permanently separated.

At the start of her testimony, Maloney held up a photo of Matthew and recalled how he was killed by an illegal immigrant drunk behind the wheel. About halfway into her 3 minutes of testimony, a man behind Maloney booed the grieving mother.

Germany: Former BND Chief Blames Merkel for ‘Massive Security Risk’ With 300,000 Unidentified Migrants

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has long been criticised for her ill-fated open-door refugee policy. The fallout from which has resulted in bitter political infighting within the government and a surge in support for right-wing parties both in Germany and across Europe.

Dr. August Hanning, the former director of Germany’s foreign intelligence service (BND), told the Sunday Express on 15 September that Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to allow unfettered immigration had endangered the security situation in the federal republic.

Hanning, on a brief visit to the UK, criticised Merkel for generating a “security crisis” for Germany and the other member states of the European Union.

“We have seen the consequences of this decision in terms of German public opinion and internal security. We experience problems every day,” said Hanning.

“We have criminals, terrorist suspects and people who use multiple identities. Those who carried to the Berlin attacks used 12 different identities, adding that “While things are tighter today, we still have 300,000 people in Germany whose identities we cannot be sure of. That’s a massive security risk.”

Italian Soldier Stabbed in Throat by Muslim Refugee Who Shouted “Allahu Akbar”

An Italian soldier was stabbed in the throat by an assailant who reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” outside the Central Station in Milan on Tuesday.

The alleged stabbing took place at approximately 10:45am local time. The soldier was struck in the neck and shoulder during the frenzied assault, Milano Today reports.

The attacker fled the scene in the direction of the Via Vittor Pisani but was quickly arrested by police at which point he shouted “Allahu Akbar.”

Police and military personnel quickly swarmed the scene and established a security cordon. Investigations are underway to determine if the incident was terrorism-related.

The 34-year-old soldier was taken to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment where his condition was deemed non-life-threatening despite the deep wound to his neck.

The attacker, reportedly a foreign national, was armed with a pair of scissors and was apparently a regular visitor to the station.

Satire Account Titania McGrath Suspended for Comedic Insult

Once again, Twitter does not seem to understand satire.

Titania McGrath is a parody Twitter persona created by comedian and Spiked columnist Andrew Doyle to satirize social justice advocates. “She” was suspended by Twitter for 7 days in mid-September after sending a satirical insult to a Twitter user.

When a users are suspended their tweets can still be seen, but they cannot make posts themselves.

McGrath identifies as a “radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest.”

The debacle began when a Twitter user, Lisa, whose handle is @godblesstoto tweeted, “‘They/them’ isn’t a gender. It’s a fashion accessory.”

McGrath hilariously responded by tweeting “This ‘Lisa’ is a vile and grotesque excuse for a human being, a seeping pustule of bigotry who deserves to be ostracized.” She continued by saying that Lisa deserves to be “thrown into a gutter and spat on repeatedly until she learns the value of basic human compassion.”
