Coronavirus News: Gov. Cuomo Ends Quarantine List, Switches to Testing Plan for Visitors
Visitors must test negative before and after traveling to New York
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced New York is moving away from the Tri-State Travel Advisory and will now require people coming to the state to test negative.
The newly unveiled quarantine policy will do away with the current Tri-State Travel Advisory list, and now mandates that anyone visiting the state must test negative or quarantine for 14 days with the exception of residents from contiguous states New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
“There will be no quarantine list, there will be no metrics,” Cuomo said. “If you are coming into New York within three days you must have tested negative. Once you arrive in New York, you must quarantine for three days and can take a test on the fourth day.”

Northwestern Students Clash With Police in Evanston
EVANSTON, Ill. — A demonstration Saturday by Northwestern University students ended as a violent protest with property damage, police said.
The protest was started by approximately 150 students who are demanding the university abolish its police department, part of a group called ‘NU Community Not Cops.’ A statement from Northwestern University Graduate Workers (NUGW) said two members were pepper-sprayed during the protests.
The statement said Evanston police arrived to the protests in riot gear with K-9 units, aided by the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System, who are trained in ‘tactical crowd control.’ NUGW alleges the environment facilitated violence.
Police said protesters threw bricks at Evanston police officers, shined high-powered lasers into their eyes and threw fireworks at officers.

The notorious Yasir Qadhi, who has called for the murder of homosexuals and blasphemers, raised money for a charity linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and said that Muslims can seize the property of “filthy” non-Muslims in jihad, says: “We are seeing this campaign, this brutal xenophobic, Islamophobic campaign. Against our nebi [prophet] and our rasul [messenger]. All under the guise of the freedom of speech. All as a result of a reaction of one unfortunate incident. They are using that incident of the beheading of one teacher for doing something to cause this entire campaign against our nebi [prophet].”
This is the usual victimhood propaganda: after every jihad massacre come Muslim spokesmen to tell the world that Muslims are the actual victims of the attack. But note also that Qadhi is specifically denouncing France’s actions taken to defend the freedom of speech after someone who exercised it was brutally murdered. As far as Qadhi is concerned, France defending itself against jihad violence is “brutal,” while the beheading of Samuel Paty is merely an “unfortunate incident.”

The ‘Dark Winter’ Is at the Door
Why are so many — including one of the presidential candidates — stating that we are in for a “Dark Winter” NOW? I find it interesting that anytime the nefarious forces on the Left are planning to do something unspeakable, they talk openly about it ahead of time. They let us know AHEAD OF TIME what they’re planning, though they cloak their intentions in a lot of smoke and mirrors, so we really never understand exactly WHAT they’re referring to — until it happens. And I can’t help but be reminded of Event 201, which led almost immediately to the worldwide coronavirus “pandemic.” Like the Dark Winter of 2001, Event 201 was ALSO a “simulation” exercise. So, with so many predicting and warning about a “Dark Winter, I have to wonder what these evil “powers that be” are really planning in the coming weeks and months.
I’ve been doing a lot of intense study and research, and much of what I’ve uncovered is startling. With the month of November just around the corner we find ourselves now at the point that we’ve dreaded all year. Police departments nationwide are on high alert; the Federal government is on high alert; our military is on high alert, and I dare say the majority of Americans who are awake to current world events are, right now, bracing themselves for impact. ONE of the political parties (and again, I will let you guess which one) has promised unprecedented violence and rioting leading up to, and following the presidential election. They’ve promised, (and I quote), to “burn it all down” if their candidate doesn’t get elected. A recent poll shows that 61% of Americans fully expect a second civil war to break out within the next week or two. This should concern you.
We’ve never seen anything remotely like what’s happening in our nation today. It’s easy to see that we’re in the midst of nothing less than a highly organized, planned DESTRUCTION of our country. And even more to the point, not just America. This seems to be a final hard push for a New, One World Government revolution. Yes, America is probably the biggest “trophy” of all, but this is global in scale. And as my friend from the United Kingdom told me just yesterday, “things seem to be going swimmingly for the globalists.”

A prayer to Allah to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists” is not just a request directed to the deity. The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15) Thus Kathrada may be issuing a call to action to believers who think it incumbent upon themselves to heed this Qur’anic directive and become instruments of Allah’s wrath.

There have been reports that AP deleted its tweet of this article, but the article itself is still available. AP here reflects the common Western assumption that whenever Muslims behave violently, it is the fault of non-Muslims. In an odd manifestation of unconscious ethnocentrism and paternalism, “journalists” such as Angela Charlton assume that Muslims are passive beings who can do nothing but react to what non-Muslims do. The possibility that they might have reasons of their own to do what they do, reasons that have nothing to do with what non-Muslims are doing.
Those who have more respect for Muslims as human beings understand that a key reason for the recent jihad violence in France is not memories of French colonialism, but the fact that Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.

Here we go yet again. This is how this narrative, which we see after every jihad massacre, works. When Muslims murder infidels, Muslims are the victims. Any measures taken in the wake of the jihad massacre to prevent Muslims from massacring infidels in the future is a sign of “collective punishment” and “Islamophobia.” Always and in every situation, Muslims are victims, to be appeased and accommodated in every possible way, and every counterterror measure, no matter how mild, is a step toward “stigmatising and criminalising Muslim communities.” Even discussion of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to recruit peaceful Muslims and justify violence must be shut down, as it supposedly endangers innocent Muslims. Non-Muslims in the West fall for this propaganda initiative every time, which is why it keeps on being used.

So who knew anything about Pope Francis before that night when he was crowned? Virtually nobody except for St. Malachy. That is with the exception of George Soros who has his fingers and money on the Vatican. He is the force behind the stupid actions the Vatican has taken, that has been more Communist than Christian.

Sweden: Afghan Family Stabbed Victim 90 Times in Bus Murder to ‘Preserve Honor’, Says Prosecutor
An Afghan father and his two sons have been charged with a brutal bus murder in Kiruna, Sweden, that occurred this summer. Prosecutor Lindha Strömberg states that the murder was an honor killing.
“The 20-year-old victim had had a relationship with the father’s wife. The motive to preserve honor was a factor in the case,” says Strömberg.
Last week, on Thursday, the trial for the father and his two minor sons began. According to Strömberg, the three of them murdered a 20-year-old man on July 15 in central Kiruna. The victim was chased into a bus where he was beaten and received over 90 stab wounds, resulting in his death.

UK: Peter Hitchens: The Dictators Have Taken Over — and We Didn’t Even Notice
A terrible thing has been done to us but we have not yet realised it.
It may even be that the British Revolution, a horror that this country has repeatedly escaped by good sense and natural conservatism, has actually taken place.
In a lecture of astonishing power and force last week, the former Supreme Court judge, Lord Sumption, revealed in sad detail what has happened to our country in the name of Covid. I have placed a copy of it and a recording on the Peter Hitchens blog and I strongly advise you to read and watch it.
It says that Parliament has been elbowed aside by Ministers who rule by decree.
Now, Jonathan Sumption is not just a brilliant lawyer. He is also a distinguished historian. Last year he gave the BBC’s Reith Lectures, and they were the best for many years. If he has any politics I have no idea what they are, but he uses language with immense care.
If he says this ‘has been the most significant interference with personal freedom in the history of our country. We have never sought to do such a thing before, even in wartime and even when faced with health crises far more serious than this one’, then you may be sure that this is so.
When he says ‘Ministers are accountable to no one, except once in five years at General Elections’, you may be sure that this is true. This a complete breach with centuries of law and tradition, and who can say where it might end?

In the Name of Turan: Turkey’s Grand Strategy to Conquer Eurasia
by Emanuel Pietrobon
Mainstream political science keeps misunderstanding Turkey’s moves in the international arena because every speech and action of Recep Tayyip Erdogan is being read through the wrong interpretive category, that is the so-called “neo-Ottomanism” (Yeni Osmanlicilik).
Indeed, Ankara’s contemporary foreign policy is much more complex and variegated than Western political analysts use to think and the so-called neo-Ottomanism — a term coined in the West and used only by Westerners — is the mere gear wheel of a wider ideological system based on the perfect mixture of pan-Islamism, pan-Turkism and Turanism, and enriched by the presence of national security doctrines such as the Blue Motherland (Mavi Vatan) and the Zero Problems with Neighbors (Komsularla Sifir Sorun Politikasi).
Turkey’s eyes over the -stans
Turkey’s agenda for post-Soviet Central Asia can’t be understood by resorting to neo-Ottomanism. In this pivotal region, from whose control depends the hegemony over the so-called Heartland, Turkey is weaponising religion, ethnicity and culture by means of NGOs, international organisations, mass media, universities and culture centres promoting simultaneously pan-Turkism and Turanism.

India: On Live TV, Muslim University Student Leader Calls for Beheading of Those Who Insult Islam
This is not an “extremist” view. This is Islamic law. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.
These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)

“By attacking Islam, clearly without having any understanding of it, President Macron has attacked & hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims in Europe & across the world. “Imran Khan had tweeted on October 25. Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan too had launched an attack on President Emmanuel Macron and said, he needed treatment and “mental checks” over his attitude towards Muslims and Islam. Calling it a threat to the country, the leader of the National Rally Party called for a ban on Pakistani immigration. Le Pen wrote on Twitter wrote, “In view of the new ultra-violent protests today in #Bangladesh, and in #Pakistan, I call for an immediate moratorium on immigration from these countries, in the name of national security. MLP.”

Trump said: “Biden wants to terminate our travel bans and surge refugees from the most dangerous places in the world.”
This is true. Biden has charged that such travel bans are “racist.” Any concern for national security in connection with mass migration is “racist.”
“TERROR FEARS Trump warns ‘horrifying attacks like in France’ will come to US if Biden elected as world shocked by church beheading,” by Kassidy Vavra, The Sun, October 29, 2020 (thanks to Elizabeth).

UK: ‘I’m Not Going Back’: Illegal Migrant Stabbed Woman 30 Times Days Before Planned Deportation
A failed asylum seeker has been jailed after committing a “frenzied and calculated” knife attack on a woman in a bid to prevent her deportation from Britain.
Awa Zongo, 29, poured a pan of boiling hot water over her housemate and stabbed her 30 times in an “unprovoked” assault in December last year, just two days before her deportation from Britain was due.
Manchester Crown Court heard that the defendant kept shouting “I’m not going back” as she launched the almost deadly attack on Asam Panahandeh at their home in Wigan, with doctors describing as “miraculous” the fact that the victim survived.

Quantifying The Left Wing Bias of Wikipedia
Authored by Shuichi Tezuka and Linda A. Ashtear via TheCritic.co.uk
Wikipedia is the most widely used source of information in the world, and a great deal has been written about its impact on public perception of certain topics. Wikipedia shapes both scientific research and real-world economic outcomes, and is the top source of medical information for both doctors and patients. The widespread reliance on Wikipedia would not be a problem if it were a neutral and authoritative source, but earlier this year Wikipedia’s co-founder Larry Sanger declared that “Wikipedia’s ‘NPOV’ (neutral point of view) is dead.” Is Sanger’s statement correct?

Macron vs Islam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ucfhRAf7Jk
Things aren’t looking good for France. Six million Arabs and millions more Muslims of other ethnic backgrounds like Turks and Senegalese are estimated to be living there. For comparison the next largest Arab population in Europe, located in Spain, is about three times smaller. Pakistani Imams are declaring Jihad and their brethren might even cross the channel to join their Algerian kin in France to topple the government. In Paris, Lyon, and Marseille (France’s three largest cities) the ethnic French are a minority according to third party estimates, though there is no way of knowing for sure since all census’ based on race is banned in France. Either way, Balkanization seems inevitable.
An idiot could have foretold the inevitable outcomes of so many things. Muslims, Feminists and open borders to name just a few of the screamers. UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and just about everywhere really. Look at what the Paki pack are getting away with. Imagine these savages have a nuke they could sneak to Turkey or again “anywhere and everywhere really”. We had better get our version of savagery moving before it’s too late. It might leave the numbers of millions needed to survive. (Going forward)
