Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/9/2020

An appeals court in Sweden overturned the child rape conviction of a young culture-enricher, because he was not aware that his victim was only 13 years old at the time he had intercourse with her. The trial court had handed the youngster a harsh sentence of 1.5 years in prison and a stiff fine.

The Economic Depression of 2020 is Becoming an Endless Nightmare for Millions of Americans

At this point, everyone should be able to clearly see that we have entered a new economic depression. And I wish that I could tell you that a “recovery” was right around the corner, but I can’t.

On Thursday, we got yet another sign that this downturn is here for the long haul. According to the Labor Department, approximately 1.2 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week…

Trump Signs 4 Executive Actions Providing Economic Relief After Congress Stalls

President Trump on Saturday signed four executive actions aimed at providing economic relief amid the coronavirus crisis after Congress failed again to pass a bill.

  • Defer payroll taxes for Americans earning less than $100,000 a year.
  • Implement a moratorium on evictions and give financial assistance to renters.
  • Postpone student loan interest and payments through the end of 2020.

Faculty, Students Across US Hold ‘Die-Ins’ To Protest Return to Campus

As the fall semester approaches, students from universities across the United States are holding protests, marches, and “die-ins” to denounce the return of in-person classes.

Most American universities are entering the fall semester under a hybrid model of virtual learning and in-person instruction. However, student activists believe that these decisions are motivated by money— not the health and well-being of students.

Protesters are correct in assuming that there are financial consequences for universities moving to only online instruction. Postsecondary institutions across the United States are watching their summer and fall enrollment plummet as they adapt to virtual learning. Many are laying off faculty and cutting budgets by as much as 25 percent.

Minnesota State Rep: Antifa and Muslim Groups Plan to ‘Police Minneapolis Under Muslim Rule’

It would have sounded farfetched just weeks ago. It doesn’t anymore.

by Robert Spencer

As the city of Minneapolis moves to dismantle its police force, Minnesota state Rep. Steve Green on Tuesday stated the obvious that virtually everyone else has been tiptoeing around and pretending isn’t there: “What you’re looking at, in my humble opinion, is communism moving into Minneapolis and St. Paul.” And not just Communism, but the Leftist/Islamic alliance. Green asserted that Antifa and Muslim organizations plan to “police Minneapolis under Muslim rule.” Those who scoff at such a notion simply aren’t paying attention to recent developments.

The Minneapolis City Council voted two weeks ago to abolish the city’s police force. Its plans beyond that have so far been sketchy, but something is going to have to be put in place as an alternative to the police. The New York Times noted that “many have called for relying more on self-policing by the community, in the way attendees often do at events like music festivals, with the police stepping in only when a true emergency arises. Some cited as an example how, in the days after the killing of Mr. Floyd, teams made up of dozens of members of the American Indian Movement patrolled streets and directed traffic in the Little Earth housing community in Minneapolis.”

If members of the local community end up policing Minneapolis, what might that look like? Back in 2016, a series of Minneapolis Muslims in man-on-the-street interviews stated matter-of-factly that they preferred Islamic law over American law. We have seen Sharia patrols in Germany, Britain, and even New York City, where the Muslim Community Patrol (MCP) is decked out in uniforms that strong resemble New York Police Department uniforms, and drives cars carefully designed to look like NYPD cars, to enforce “fundamentals of the Sharia.”

Muslim leader Siraj Wahhaj explained what that meant: “The mosques need protection and the MCP cars can help stop people who were not following the rules and regulations of the sharia, doing what they’re not supposed to be doing, but still doing it.” According to a Muslim involved with the MCP, this would involve stopping “Muslim women being out after dark, Muslim men hanging out in the corners doing dope, Muslims drinking liquor,” and enforcing, “basically, the fundamentals of the Sharia.”

If such a community patrol is launched in Minneapolis, it is likely to focus on the same things, but not do anything about the fact that the 5th Congressional District in Minneapolis, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district, is the jihad terror recruitment capital of the United States. Stopping young Muslims from engaging in jihad activity is unlikely to be a high priority for a group that is dedicated to enforcing Sharia, since Sharia calls upon Muslims to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers…

The Coming National Crisis

With the 2020 election only months away, it is reasonable to wonder whether the election could spark widespread violence nationwide. With a probable hung election and accusations flying left and right, we may be approaching the time in 1860 when the election became a choice of whether a divided country could stay united. This election could trigger full-scale violence beyond anything we have seen so far. No, this won’t be just another election. It may be our Fort Sumter.

Both left and right detest each other, and with no resolution in sight, things could get ugly. With China on the march, COVID in the air, and racial unrest in the streets, the mix could not be worse and may finally boil over. What has been a cold civil war up until now could very well go hot.

No, I am not saying that every parent’s child is a communist. What I am saying is that there are enough young people out there with either an affinity or a sympathy for the communist system to make us all very concerned. The polls show it, the rioting proves it.

Wisconsin Black Lives Matter ‘Protesters’ Shoot at Home of Black Police Officer’s Girlfriend After Assaulting Them Both

A mob of Black Lives Matter “protesters” gathered at the home of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin police officer Joseph Mensah’s girlfriend and shot at the back door after violently assaulting them.

Officer Mensah has been targeted by Black Lives Matter for his involvement in three fatal police shootings.

On Saturday night, a mob of 50-60 militant leftists showed up at his girlfriend’s home chanting “Black Lives Matter.” Her children live in the home, but it is unclear if they were there at the time of the attack.

Mensah wrote on Facebook that “protesters came to my girlfriend’s house while I was there, and tried to kill me. I was unarmed and tried to defend my property and the property of my girlfriend. We were both assaulted, punched, and ultimately shot at several times. A shotgun round missed me by inches.”

The COVID Crisis Has Helped Make the Blueprint for a European Superstate

After intense negotiations, long days and nights of clashes, and a distinctly sour note underlying the entire summit, European Union leaders finally agreed on an unprecedented €1.82 trillion ($2.1 trillion) budget and covid recovery package. This agreement provides €750 billion in funding meant to counter the impact of the pandemic and also includes €390 billion in nonrepayable grants to the hardest-hit EU members, with Italy and Spain being the main recipients…

All these loans and handouts will be financed through an unprecedented amount of debt, which is unsustainable and myopic in and of itself. The fact that this debt is shared, however, makes this “historic deal” all the more insidious, intensely political, and dooms it to failure. This deal signaled the official adoption of the idea of debt mutualization as a funding tool, which clearly paves the way for far deeper EU centralization, even greater powers of taxation and, Brussels’s much more direct political power over national governments. This is already evident in the early drafts of the terms and conditions of the loans and grants in the package. There no real strings attached when it comes to transparency and the all practical aspects of how the funds will be used, but there are heavily political requirements. For example, 30 percent of the aid must be spent on a “green” agenda and on combating climate change. There’s also clear language in the agreements that ties the distribution of the aid to compliance with “the rule of law.” That’s a thinly veiled threat against conservative member states like Poland and Hungary, where the democratically elected national governments are known to pass laws that the EU frowns upon. There is, therefore, clear and purely political conditionality attached to that great “unifying” plan.

It might be wrapped in idealistic and melodramatic language, e.g., “rescuing our shared European future,” but what this deal is really about is a blatant power grab.

World’s Top Epidemiologists — Masks Don’t Work!

Danish leaders recently found themselves on the defensive. The reason is that Danes aren’t wearing face masks, and local authorities for the most part aren’t even recommending them.

This prompted Berlingske, the country’s oldest newspaper, to complain that Danes had positioned themselves “to the right of Trump.”

“The whole world is wearing face masks, even Donald Trump,” Berlingske pointed out.

This apparently did not sit well with Danish health officials.

They responded by noting there is little conclusive evidence that face masks are an effective way to limit the spread of respiratory viruses.

“All these countries recommending face masks haven’t made their decisions based on new studies,” said Henning Bundgaard, chief physician at Denmark’s Rigshospitale, according to Bloomberg News.

To that end, the regime is deftly exploiting multilateral institutions from the World Trade Organization to the World Health Organization to the United Nations itself.

Thus, China has managed to get away with retaining a “developing country” status within the World Trade Organization, which gives it unfair preferences. China has the second largest Gross Domestic Product in the world, surpassed only by the United States. It does not deserve any preferential treatment. But China still gets it.

The Daily Mail has established that organised crime networks calling themselves the ‘boat mafia’ have moved in to Brussels to profit from a huge rise in migrants.

France Blackmails Britain for £30m to Stop Illegal Boat Migrants: Report

The French are reportedly demanding £30 million in exchange for allowing the British navy to return illegal boat migrants who departed from France’s shores.

A total of 516 illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel in just three days, with 151arriving on Saturday, 130 on Friday, and a daily record of 235 on Thursday. The British government has officially requested that the military support UK Border Force, with the Home Office considering an Australia-style “push back” to reject migrant boats at sea.

Sources speaking to The Telegraph on Sunday said that Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and Home Secretary Priti Patel are considering deploying the navy to turn back the boats, and well as using drones in deterring illegal landings on England’s cost.

The plan, set to be put to the French government, will mean sending back the illegal aliens immediately to Dunkirk in Northern France, rather than attempting to return them after they have already landed in Britain. Reports claimed that just one in 40 illegal Channel migrants who had arrived on English soil had been successfully returned to France since January 2019.

Hiding Britain’s Illegal Migrant Disaster

Late last week the political commentator known by the name of Active Patriot was arrested by police at Dover (see video below). He was arrested, ostensibly, for that catch all offence of ‘breach of the peace’, a charge that can mean anything, everything or indeed nothing.

But, what he has been really arrested for, but which was not stated by Kent Police, was for embarrassing the government. Active Patriot has shown the government up for being a bunch of incompetents when it comes to dealing with the problem of illegal migration across the English Channel. He has shown us, the ordinary British subject, the hordes of illegals being brought ashore by Border Force (or should that read Border Farce?) boats and being put on luxury coaches to be shipped off to four star hotels in unsuspecting British towns and cities where they will no doubt be a burden and bring many crime and disorder problems to local residents.

Also what Active Patriot has done is to show the nation that the Government, a Government that the majority of us voted for in 2019 mostly in order to deal with Brexit and Britain’s appalling migration problems, seems to care more for these cross channel criminals than they do ordinary Britons. At a time when Britain’s economy is tanking due to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to bring in an ill advised and possibly useless lockdown, the very last thing we need to do is to shackle ourselves with so many potentially dangerous and most likely burdensome illegals such as those that are being brought to British shores by Border Force…

Over 130 Iraqi Migrants Return Home on Voluntary Greek Flight

A total of 134 Iraqi migrants have returned to their home country this week, with some accepting €2,000 (£1,800/$2,400) as part of a Greek government programme.

Forty of the Iraqi migrants aboard the flight were the first to take advantage of the Voluntary Return & Reintegration Programme (AVRR). The programme was initially rolled out in March, but was delayed due to the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus.

A Swedish appeals court has overturned an Afghan migrant’s conviction for child rape, ruling that he did not know the girl’s real age despite inputting it when ordering her a bus ticket.

The Afghan man, who is in his 20s, was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl earlier this year and sentenced to one-and-a-half years in prison, a fine, and deportation.

The Reverse-Colonization of France

Lyon, the third largest city in France, July 20, 3 a.m. A middle-class neighborhood. A young woman walks her dog on a quiet street. A car arrives at high speed and crushes her dog. The driver stops, backs up, runs over the young woman and crushes her too. He goes forward again, at full speed, and drags her dead body half a mile. People awakened by the noise write down the license number of the car. The police officers who come to the scene are horrified. The young woman’s body was dismembered. A leg was found on one side of the street; the rest of her body was shredded. One arm was close to the body of her dog. The other was still holding onto the dog’s leash. Her name was Axelle Dorier. She was a nurse, only 23.

U.N. Agenda 21 is Close to Full Implementation

When I first became aware of U.N. Agenda 21, two decades ago, I started reading everything I could find and the more I read, the deeper my searches took me — the large octopus using the environment as an excuse was stretching its tentacles far and wide across the globe. I could hardly believe it myself as I found long documents, conferences, videos of politicians, presidents, and famous people pushing this globalist agenda and passing executive orders to implement it by fiat at all levels of government.

It was shocking that the whole cabal was there in plain sight, yet people accused us of being conspiracy theorists. Even some conservatives spoke of U.N. Agenda 21 in hushed tones and suggested that the only proper mention of it was in context of property rights, yet it is so much more because it encompasses everything we do in our daily lives and in business.

  1. “In other news, administrators at the University of Georgia advised students to wear masks while having sex”

    🤡 🌍

  2. Swedish Court Overturns Child Rape Conviction of Afghan Migrant- he did not know the girl’s real age despite inputting it when ordering her a bus ticket. Completely incomprhensible non-justice-this loathsome individual should be put in chains and sent back the country of his origin, and that before being castrated. No excuses. This occurance will continue unless very harsh action is taken to bring about such a deterent. If it happened to my daughter he would be dead.

    • “Swedish Court Overturns Child Rape Conviction of Afghan Migrant- he did not know the girl’s real age despite inputting it when ordering her a bus ticket.” —
      My only explanation is that we’ve already reached the point where judges themselves are systematically given to understand that their lifes and families are in grave danger if they don’t do as told. In all countries where this type of failure of justice is rampant lately, the closed-knit communities of the worst offenders have gained sufficient power to do that. We saw it coming.

      • That only works until patriots begin to use the same tactic. When a few bad judges prematurely assume room temperature with the active assistance of european patriots, the rest will quickly fall into line or retire. Same goes for leftist politicians and their globalist masters.

        The solution is already there; Western patriots just need to find the will to use it.

    • The Swedes see fit to appropriately value that which so many Swedish girls and Western ones for that matter seem to themselves give away so cheaply.

      I nevertheless still would have taken the orc out behind the courthouse and relieved him of his miserable and worthless existence.

      • If that were one of mine, I would give ole Saint Vlad the Impaler Tepes a good run for his money. Nothing says you are more serious than a 3rd world muslim impaled along a major road than that. It is a lesson for the rest of them.

        • Impaling is good, but for sheer deterrence nothing beats a gibbeting. Leave it up for years until all that remains are a skeleton as warning of what could happen to other muslim miscreants. Better still would be the gibbeting of a muslim and a pig together, although it would be an unfortunate waste of perfectly good pork, albeit in a good cause. My guess is that the crows would consume the pig before the muslim; it would be worth wagering on.

          • To this day the bloody turks fear that guys return and the muslims still harbor fear of being impaled and displayed for all to see, but I do like how you think.

      • Agree The Moon, Western Europe is walking into a massive round of duplicity thrown at them and us daily through the evil controlled media.

        • Well!!! Why ain’t you armed up dealing with it with a few like minded individuals then? Try that in our area and you are a face on a milk carton, so again I ask you? Are you are sheep? Or Wolf?

  3. Hiding Britain’s Illegal Migrant Disaster- Active Patriot has shown the government up for being a bunch of incompetents when it comes to dealing with the problem of illegal migration across the English Channel. 100% correct-it is possible that the Active Patriot belongs to a political party that, stands seemingly alone in its efforts to support the British Nation against those that are showing support for a liberal/marxist regeme, rather than a acceptable Democracy. UK turning into a Police controlled state supported by a weak government open to deceit, hypocrisy, and in some cases double-dealing with public trust aided by the media.

  4. I can’t believe we currently have a Tory government…imagine what Labour would be like.

    • You ain’t voting your way out of this mess any longer, that time has long passed, arm up and start dealing with it yourselves.

  5. Don’t worry these governments that have turned against their own people will have a big stupid look on their face when the vibrant enrichers come for them with sharpened shiny blades.
