Stock Market Surges at News of Moderna Vaccine With 94% Effectiveness

U.S. markets jumped on Monday after biotechnology company Moderna announced its new vaccine, which has a reported 94% success rate.

The Dow Jones rose 1.3%, or 389 points, at the news. The stocks of airline and cruise companies saw some of the largest gains, along with many banks.

Massachusetts-based Moderna is the second company to announce an effective vaccine, following Pfizer earlier this month. While the company’s announcement of the vaccine itself was enough to give the market the boost, traders were apparently also excited that Moderna’s vaccine remains stable in a regular refrigerator for up to 30 days and can be stored for up to six months below freezing.

Anti-Trump Dominion Voting Systems Security Chief Was Participating in Antifa Calls, Posted Antifa Manifesto Letter to Trump Online

In a stunning interview conducted by Michelle Malkin, Joe Oltmann, FEC (Faith Education Commerce) United founder, reveals how he infiltrated Antifa and how during a conversation with Antifa members, he discovered “Eric from Dominion” was allegedly part of the chat during the week of September 27, 2020.

Oltmann explained that “Eric” was telling the Antifa members they needed to “keep up the pressure.” When one of the caller’s asked, “Who’s Eric?” someone answered, “Eric, he’s the Dominion guy.” Oltmann said that as the conversation continued, someone asked, “What are we gonna do if F***ing Trump wins?” Oltmann paraphrased how Eric (the Dominion guy) responded, “Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f***ing sure of that!”…

Oltmann began digging into Eric Coomer, trying to find anything he could about him. Oltmann finally hit gold when he was able to (legally) access what he claims is Dominion VP, Eric Coomer’s Facebook page. What he found was stunning. Joe Oltmann said he never saw such hate and vitriol coming from someone who has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. Oltmann explained to Malkin that Coomer actually re-posted the Antifa manifesto to President Trump on his Facebook page.

The Gateway Pundit posted a copy of that Antifa letter to Trump in a previous report.

Joe Oltmann was removed from Twitter this week. His tweets on Eric Coomer upset big tech.

Oltman admits that by revealing this information about Coomer, he is putting himself in danger.

Apple’s MacOS Caught Sending User Data to Apple Every Time an App is Opened

Last week, as Apple’s servers were under stress from the downloads of its latest Mac operating system update, Big Sur, many Mac users were finding that they weren’t able to open any apps on their laptops and desktops.

It soon became apparent that when a user opens an app on Mac, Apple’s own servers get pinged for authentication. Yet, with Apple’s servers under heavy load, this couldn’t take place and users were unable to open programs.

Biden Transition Team Says First Amendment is Flawed Because it Permits “Hate Speech”

by Paul Craig Roberts

I told you this would happen. No one is to be allowed to speak against the official explanations: www.rt.com/usa/506751-biden-propagandist-anti-free-speech/

Biden’s transition team defines truth as hate speech. Truth is what the Democrat left, military/security complex, and presstitutes don’t want spoken or written.

“All speech is not equal,” declared Biden transition leader Richard Stengal, a former presstitute for MSNBC.

“Truth” is reserved for what serves the anti-white leftwing of the Democrat Party, the allied military/security complex and global elite. This means that no Trump supporter speaks the truth and his/her hate speech must be silenced. Keith Olbermann’s demand for the arrest of President Trump and Tucker Carlson of Fox News is the beginning. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/keith-olbermann-calls-for-the-arrests-of-t rump-and-tucker-carlson

The vote theft is the opening gun of a civil war in which white Americans will have to fight or be relegated to third class citizens. The 14th amendment is also dead. Trump Deplorables are no longer equal under the law. They are denied free speech, but all others have free speech to denounce white America more harshly than Nazis are reported to have denounced Jews. Antifa and Black Lives Matter have begun the Kristallnachts. Those who tell the truth are losing the protection of the US Constitution. Only liars are protected.

The obviously stolen election is a coup against democracy and America. If the American legal system fails to stand up to a stolen election, unless white Americans submit to third class status, violence is our future.

BLM Activist Filmed Sucker-Punching Man is a Child Sex Offender Recently Released From Prison

A Black Lives Matter activist and registered child sex offender was arrested for allegedly sucker-punching a man and leaving him bloody in the streets after the “Million MAGA March” in the capital on Saturday.

39-year-old Kenneth Wayne DeBerry, of Washington, DC, was charged with aggravated assault, disorderly conduct through inciting violence, and being a felon in possession of a gun. When the Metropolitan Police Department took DeBerry into custody, officers found a handgun on him.

DeBerry was filmed in viral videos running up from behind an unidentified man and sucker punching him. The man collapsed on the ground unconscious while another anti-Trump protester kicked him. Another protester then stole his mobile phone.

Conservatives accused the media of turning a blind eye to violent attacks against Trump supporters at Saturday’s “MAGA Million March” in Washington, DC.

“The physical assaults today by violent leftists targeting his supporters is abhorrent,” Zeldin said. “The near total media blackout of the violence is terrible…& telling.”

Day of Reckoning Closing in on the Election Criminals

One can say just about anything but that doesn’t make it true. Those perpetrating this fraud upon the American people — despite their dedicated support from the Hollywood whores, the boob tube yakking heads and Trump haters all claiming Biden is president-elect — the traitors behind the curtain have to be (expletive) bricks.

We know five swing states are key along with NV where thousands of cheaters who no longer lived in that state voted anyway and sent back the mail in ballot. Cheaters like DNC precinct workers, stupidvisers and anyone else who has participated in committing election fraud. They are NOT Americans. There is no honor among them. They’re liars and cheats who care nothing for the law as long Trump loses. Nor do they care about open, honest and fair elections.

I would say shame on them but they have no shame. Not ballot counters, election board members and all the way up the food chain. Americans who believe in freedom and liberty and cherish all who died to bring us the right to vote do NOT do what’s being done to Donald Trump. When they look in the mirror, I have no doubt they think how righteous they are but in reality, they are filthy, dirty traitors to our republic…

Lin Wood Files Lawsuit Challenging Georgia’s Secretary of State’s Dark Unconstitutional Agreement with Hillary Attorney Marc Elias

(If you’re unfamiliar with Lin Wood, he is a fearless attorney who wins; look up his bio on line.) Wood doesn’t make huff and puff statements; he’s always dead serious and true to his word over the decades: “Since I delivered these remarks on November 6, I have seen overwhelming evidence that massive fraud was in the computer voting system in addition to mail ballots. They will not get away with it.” Trump’s Bulldog Attorney Lin Wood: “Soon people will be going to prison. Lots of people”…

Short video — it’s called evidence: Kayleigh Mcenany Says She Has PA Secretary Of State Emails Telling Her Minions In Liberal Counties To ‘Fix The Vote’ — “President Trump’s press secretary, Kayleigh Mcenany, told Sean Hannity last night the Trump admin has an email from Pennsylvania Secretary of State, Kathy Boockvar, telling 67 counties now they can go fix the ballots.

“The email was said to be written on the eve of election night, the same night President Trump jumped to a near 800k vote lead on Joe Biden.” Beyond outrageous. Last week Mcenany said Trump will make an announcement “at the right time.”

Democrat Concedes House Race in New York and Another Race is Looking Good for the GOP (Update: Another Concession)

The NY Times results page for House races is not very useful at this point. There are two races in which Democrats have conceded the race but the Times still hasn’t updated the page. I believe that’s because they are following AP calls and the AP hasn’t called those races. But again, the Democrats have conceded so, barring some unexpected change, these races are over.

‘Designed to Rig Elections’: Sidney Powell Tells Bartiromo That Trump Team’s Evidence Will ‘Overturn’ Multiple States

Attorney Sidney Powell is on Trump’s legal team for the election fight, and she appeared on ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ today for an explosive interview with Maria Bartiromo in which she made certainly some of the boldest claims so far by the Trump team.

She began talking about a particular individual: Peter Neffinger. He is “president and on the board of directors of Smartmatic. And it just so happens he’s on Mr. Biden’s presidential transition team, that’s going to be non-existent, because we’re fixing to overturn the results of the election in multiple states,” claimed Powell. And that was just to start. She connected Neffinger to the software she said was used to alter or remove votes in some way.

“President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes, but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose,” she told Bartiromo. “We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections.”

“They did this on purpose, it was calculated, they’ve done it before. We have evidence from 2016 in California, we have so much evidence I feel like it’s coming in through a firehose,” she continued.

[Comment: She was the one that got General Flynn exonerated from the false verdict.]

Do You Trust Our Voting Systems?

From the day after the election, the press/media (P/M) have demanded that President Trump concede. It did not matter that in 2000, it took Al Gore 36 days to concede on December 13…

More than any other company, Dominion Voting Systems was used in 28 states by 40% of the total American voting public, including battleground states Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada, Minnesota and Arizona. And it did not matter to the P/M that the county clerk, Sheryl Guy, in Antrim County, MI reported that a tabulating glitch by Dominion’s software had caused 6000 votes for Republicans to be switched to Democrats. It also did not matter that machines manufactured by Dominion contained components made in China. Also not arousing the curiosity of the P/M was the fact that Bloomberg News reported that Dominion “hired…a high-powered firm that includes a longtime aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi…Dominion’s first-ever lobbying firm is Brownstein Farber Hyack and Schreck. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi’s former chief of staff, is one of the lobbyists on the account.” [Link] And completely unsuspicious to the P/M was the fact that The Washington Post reported in 2014 that Dominion was listed as a $25,000 to $50,000 donor to the Clinton Foundation! [Link] According to Politico, in Spalding County, GA, the Board of Elections supervisor, Marcia Ridley, said the companies “uploaded something last night, which is not normal, and it caused a glitch. That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election.”

[Comment: The software running Dominion machines is also used by other machine manufacturers.]

Exclusive: How a Philly Mob Boss Stole the Election — and Why He May Flip on Joe Biden

The innermost circles of the American mafia are abuzz. The Boss of the Philly mob — ‘Skinny Joey’ Merlino — is taking a victory strut, hobnobbing around the highest echelons of old-time mafia folk, mostly in Florida, describing what may have been the heist of the century: the 2020 presidential election.

The feat is drawing praise from far-flung corners of the Italian American business community, which sees the thanks of a grateful administration as key to the revival of the community’s political influence.

But an associate says that Merlino might just be willing to flip on Joe Biden and the Pennsylvania political operatives who ordered up some 300,000 election ballots marked for Biden. The source alleges that Merlino and a lean team of associates manufactured those ballots at a rate of $10 per ballot — a whopping $3 million for three days of work. They were then packaged into non-descript cardboard boxes and dropped off outside the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Federal Judge Rules DHS Secretary Wolf Was Unlawfully Appointed, Invalidates DACA Suspension

Federal Judge Nicholas Garafus, appointed by Bill Clinton has ruled that the acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf was unlawfully appointed and has invalidated his suspension of the DACA program.

Garafus concluded “Wolf was not lawfully serving as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security under the HSA [Homeland Security Act] when he issued the Wolf Memorandum” that suspended DACA.

Garaufis wrote in his ruling “Based on the plain text of the operative order of succession, neither Mr. McAleenan nor, in turn, Mr. Wolf, possessed statutory authority to serve as Acting Secretary. Therefore the Wolf Memorandum was not an exercise of legal authority.”

Guilt by Partial Association: AirBnB Cancels Trump Supporter’s Account, Citing ‘Hate Group’ Ties

Airbnb canceled the man’s reservation and deleted his account after Twitter users complained about his use of the platform. The man later clarified that he is not a member of the Proud Boys, an organization the far-left smear factory the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has accused of being a hate group.

The man in question, identified as Ronald Gaudier, offered to host march attendees in a public Telegram chat run by the Proud Boys.

Joe Biden is a Sore Loser

Joe Biden lost the November 3 presidential election but is claiming to be “president-elect” based on stolen votes. People magazine proclaims, “It’s time for America to unite,” featuring Joe Biden and the real presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. But as numerous observers have noted, Biden himself was asked whether he would declare victory only after the results were certified and he replied, “yes.” He’s a big liar. The Big Steal is underway. He doesn’t want to wait for an honest vote count. In any case, under Supreme Court precedent, he can’t win. His fraudulent vote-stealing effort makes any claim to a Biden-Harris victory to be completely false.

Long-time Washington observer David Martin comments that “The perps at the top of this criminal Democrat conspiracy have conned the American body politic into believing that Team Trump must peel away each and every electoral vote that was explicitly won through fraud and/or theft until Biden’s total drops below 270.” In fact, he notes that under Supreme Court precedent, in the landmark case United States v. Throckmorton, “fraud vitiates everything.”

This means, according to the article at the “Darkmoon” website, that when wholesale fraud, corruption, and criminality are employed to steal the presidential election, the victor automatically becomes the other presidential nominee with the greatest number of electoral votes. “Hence,” it states, “the prematurely and illegitimately declared Biden victory is now null and void under the law.”

Michigan House Member Files to Impeach Governor Gretchen Whitmer

State Rep. Matt Maddock (R), who is well-known in Michigan as a pro-Trump solid conservative, announced tonight that he is filing the paperwork in the Michigan House to start impeachment proceedings against Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer!

Whitmer has been repeatedly defying court orders limiting her COVID shutdown powers.

And rumors swirl that another Whitmer Michigan shutdown is looming, perhaps starting on November 18 and lasting three weeks. A rumor that she would shut down the state on Friday came and went, though Whitmer held a very odd press conference where Whitmer and her advisors scolded family members not to hug on Thanksgiving.

Maddock told the Gateway Pundit: “Something had to be done. She’s ruining this great state. Small businesses and most dine-in restaurants will be dead by the end of the year. She’s caused the deaths of many vulnerable elderly people who died alone, scared, and pointlessly. This was long overdue,” Maddock said.

More Than 82,000 People Have Filed Sexual Abuse Claims Against Boy Scouts

More than 82,000 claims of sexual abuse have now been filed against the Boy Scout of America, far surpassing claims made against other entities such as the Catholic church, according to lawyers.

Under one legal coalition called Abused on Scouting, accusers aged 8 to 93 and from all 50 states have made claims against BSA.

BSA filed for bankruptcy in February 2020 due to hundreds of sex-abuse lawsuits and declining membership due to its adoption of secular, politically-left stances such as allowing girls to join the boys-only program in the name of inclusivity.

Atlas tweeted out a thread with Whitmer’s announcement, and a graphic made by The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services highlighting what will be allowed to remain open and what will be forced to closed.

Speaking to Fox News, Powell declared that “We’re getting ready to overturn election results in multiple states,” adding that “I don’t make comments without having the evidence to back it up.”

Powell, a former federal prosecutor, said that a whistleblower has emerged with evidence that software in voting machines was ‘rigged’.

WordPress Deplatforms Popular Blog the Conservative Treehouse

WordPress has deplatformed the Conservative Treehouse (CTH), the blog announced on Friday.

The website, that has existed for ten years, has been denied hosting by WordPress.com, a hugely popular blogging service owned by Automattic — in yet another reminder of why reliance on corporate and centralized Silicon Valley services and platforms can be a mistake for any independent creator or publisher.

According to the site, WordPress informed the site’s owners that their content was “incompatible” with the company’s terms of use, giving them until December 2 to move the site to another hosting service.

Canadian Accused of Fabricating Past as ISIS Executioner ‘Abu Huzayfah’ Appears in Court

A Canadian accused by the RCMP of falsely claiming he had been an ISIS executioner in Syria appeared in Ontario court on Monday to face a terrorism hoax charge.

It was the first court appearance for Shehroze Chaudhry since his arrest on Sept. 25 on allegations he falsely portrayed himself as a former ISIS member living in Canada.

His case was put over until Jan. 25.

A 25-year-old employee at his family’s Oakville, Ont., shawarma restaurant, Chaudhry was featured prominently in a popular U.S. podcast as “Abu Huzayfah.”

His widely publicized claims that he was living freely in the Toronto area despite having executed victims by stabbing them in the heart set off heated debate in the House of Commons.

But four years after he began posting on social media about his past in ISIS, the RCMP accused him of making it up, invoking a rarely used “hoax regarding terrorist activist” charge.

Dominion Voting Systems Has a History of Controversy in Canadian Elections

The United States should have checked with Canada before employing the scandal plagued Dominion Voting Systems (DVS) in the 2020 presidential elections. The more you dive into this company, the more you find how deeply entrenched they are in every part of the “democratic” traditions of North America.

It seems that every election they are involved in, claims of voter fraud follow. Despite that, election officials in both Canada and the United States continue to trust them — for better or worse. Sure, they might have donated $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation, but hey — who cares?

Well, you should. DVS is used in every single one of Georgia’s 159 counties, and they are used in many of the swing states that just sent their Electoral votes to Joe Biden.

Dominion Voting is not just throwing American democracy into disrepute, they have done that with Canadian elections for years and years, but nobody in Canada, much less the US, has bothered to take notes. The Canadian media is entirely complacent in covering this story.

According to the court’s ruling, the Ministry did not sufficiently substantiate the reasons why such a duty are necessary. The court ruled that the measure would be revoked on Nov. 21, so the ministry had time to adopt new ones without issues, court spokeswoman Markéta Puci added on Twitter.

Europe’s Lax Security Aids Islamist Terrorists

The latest wave of Islamist-inspired terror attacks to strike Europe has yet again exposed lamentable flaws in the ability of European security agencies to provide adequate protection for their citizens.

In all three instances — the attacks in Paris, Nice and Vienna — it has emerged that those held responsible for carrying out the attacks had links to global jihadi networks that went undetected by European security officials.

Moreover, the ease with which some of those involved in the attacks were able to travel freely across the continent has once more raised concerns about Europe’s lax border controls as defined by the European Union’s Schengen Agreement, and the ability of radicalised jihadis to exploit them.

France: Muslims Threaten to Kill Socialist Mayor, Facebook Says the Threats Don’t Violate Their Community Standards

A Socialist. What do you bet that Stéphane Raffali believes that Islam is a religion of peace, that “Islamophobia” is the real problem, and that “refugees” are not dangerous, but in danger, and that only “racists” oppose mass Muslim migration into France?

Yet his flirting with violation of Sharia blasphemy laws by lionizing a man who was beheaded for a Muhammad cartoon got him death threats anyway.

And Facebook refused to take down the threats, saying they didn’t violate their community standards. Facebook is increasingly evil, and increasingly open about it. Imagine if a Muslim leader had received death threats; do you think Facebook would say that those threats violated their community standards? So do I. And not only would they take them down in a hot minute; the threats would also be the occasion for screaming international headlines and searching feature pieces about the increase of “Islamophobia.” But this? Nothing.

Germany: Gray Wolves — The Fascists Nobody Wants to Talk About

There’s a gigantic, well-organized, extremely violent fascist group with tens of thousands of active members in Germany right now.

And nobody notices.

You’d think all the fascist-hunters would have sniffed it out by now, but it goes right by them as if these guys were invisible.

Which is odd, because this group is not trying to hide, or pretending to be harmless. They’re not shy about it, and it’s not just talk. They have quite a record. They’ve been rampaging for decades, and if anything they’re stronger now than they used to be. They’re closely linked to CIA and Nazi groups; they’re very busy beating, burning, and murdering minorities of all kinds, and boast quite openly about hating literally everyone who’s not a member of their own ethnic group and sect, even suggesting that members go on “hunting expeditions” against minorities which they’d already almost wiped out back in the 20th century.

This group recently held massive, open rallies in the cities of Germany, and it’s only in the last few years that the government has even attempted to ban the public symbols and salutes of this massive fascist group.

There’s something grotesquely comic about this. We have a swarm of fascist-spotters who’ve spent the last few decades waiting for fascism to emerge in Germany when it was marching around, shouting at the top of its lungs, beating minorities, celebrating genocide, and supporting ethnic cleansing right in front of their damn faces.

I’m talking about the Gray Wolves . And I defy anyone to find a more successful, out-front, no-kidding, massive, effective, ruthless fascist organization anywhere in the world. They’re adapting quickly, and even have their own fierce Wiki defenders.

Here are a few highlights from their long, successful career:…

Germany: Cops Investigating False Bomb Threat Against Mosque Have Dog Wear Paw Covers to Avoid Offending

German authorities are ever solicitous of their growing and restive Muslim population, and so they’re ready to act upon the otherwise univerally denied fact that Islam hates dogs: “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’“ — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

Remember: opposing Sharia is “bigoted” and “racist.”

Head of Polish Catholic Church Calls for Coming Clean Over Sex Abuse Allegations

Asked to respond to allegations made against Pope John Paul II’s close confidant Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, PolishArchbishop Wojciech Polak told commercial news channel TVN24 that he had hopes that “Christ would demand for there to be a cleansing” of the Church of its past.

Liberal TVN24, in its film report entitled “Don Stanislao”, has alleged that Cardinal Dziwisz was involved in covering up sex abuse by priests all over the world, including in Poland.

Archbishop Polak acknowledged that the system for investigating such allegations needs to be tighter and more diligent. He also referred to the words of Pope Francis who called for greater care and attention to be shown to the victims, which would help the Church show them respect and love while fighting the evil and crime that came from within Catholic institutions.

Populist Govts of Hungary, Poland Veto EU’s Globalist Power Grab Budget

EU member states Hungary and Poland have followed through on their threat to block the continental power bloc’s seven-year budget, after Brussels attempted to push it through with conditions the populist nations said were akin to “political enslavement”.

European Union rules mean that many significant decisions — including whether to approve the bloc’s seven-yearly funding programmes — must be taken unanimously, with any single member state able to veto decisions. This safeguard was triggered on Monday by conservative-led Hungary and Poland, who blocked the progress of the €1.8 trillion (£1.6 trillion, $2.1 trillion) ‘Multiannual Financial Framework’ (MFF) as an attack on national sovereignty.

UK Law Commission Victim-Blames After Terror Attacks, Calls for Mohammed Cartoons to be Banned

Critics have criticized the proposal as a suppression of free speech, some calling it “the Scottish Hate Crime Bill on steroids.”

The proposal of the Law Commission, an organization of lawyers in Wales and England, follows the recent terror attacks by Islamic extremists in France. The shocking proposal is a 533-page report that agrees with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statements that victim blame and claims that the current laws on hate speech in the UK are inadequate.

EU is Extending Sanctions on Turkey for Its Illegal Drilling

by Thomas O. Falk

In the ongoing dispute between Brussels and Ankara, the European Union has extended its sanctions against a Turkish company by one year. The sanctions were imposed due to Turkey drilling and conducting natural gas exploration in the Mediterranean.

EU Sanctions on TPAO

So far, the EU has only imposed sanctions once under this framework, when it constricted two officials of the legal upstream Turkish company TPAO into restrictive measures in relation to Turkey’s “unauthorized” drilling in front of Cyprus in February. An EU entry ban and asset freezes continue to apply to them.

The sanctions were initially imposed on TPAO exploration manager Mehmet Ferruh Akalin and deputy exploration director Ali Coscun Namoglu at the end of February after unauthorized drilling activities outside the Republic of Cyprus.

Muslim Preacher Says One Who Insults Muhammad ‘Is to be Put to the Sword. We Ask Allah to Destroy These People.’

“Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger — Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment.” That’s Qur’an 33:57.

How will they be cursed in this world? A prayer to Allah to “destroy these people” 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 Hadad 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. In Australia. What are the chances that Hadad and his hearers will become loyal, stable, productive members of secular Australian society?

Hungary’s terror threat level remains unchanged despite a wave of Islamic attacks in France and Austria and it much to do with the fact that Hungary never accepted mass migration from Muslim countries, Hungarian security policy expert Georg Spöttle told German-language news portal Ungarn Heute (Hungary Today) in an interview.

Despite Hungary’s low threat level, the country is actively working to aid its neighbors. That is why following the terrorist attack in Vienna, the Hungarian Anti-Terrorism Unit (TEK) immediately provided administrative assistance and worked with the police and the military to secure the border, Spöttle said.

Lauded ACLU Lawyer Wants to Stop the Circulation of Book That Documents Kids Who Regret Transitioning

For an organization that refers to itself as an “ongoing champion of free expression,” an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer has now chosen a strange hill to die on: stopping the circulation of books and ideas.

The statement came from Chase Strangio, a lawyer with the nonprofit group, and was made in the context of the lawyer being transgender and their harsh criticism of a book written by Abigail Shrier on the rise of transgender transitioning and regret of some of those who transitioned at an early age.

New Twitter Meme Shows How “Fact Checking” Has Become a Joke

The rise of “fact-checkers” in recent years, as big social media companies struggle to appease critics who say they are allowing too much freedom on their platforms, has been one of the more fascinating developments in the mess created by politics interfering in tech, and tech interfering in politics.

Another fascinating rise to prominence has been that of memes as powerful tools of summing up big and complex messages into a single picture and a few words. Now these two worlds are colliding in a new Twitter meme making fun of fact-checking, that has gone viral.

Prominent Leftist YouTube Calls for the Legalization of Child Pornography

In a widely-circulated video, prominent leftist YouTube streamer Vaush reiterated his argument to legalize child pornography.

“I still don’t care. I still think that zoophile porn—like drawn stuff—it should be 100 percent legal,” the self-styled “libertarian socialist” stated at first.

“In fact, and this is going to be a real hot take, I had to hear a convincing moral or legal argument as to why possession of child pornography should be illegal,” Vaush continued, emphasizing “actual child pornography.”

“How does this guy ‘Vaush’ have such a massive audience on YouTube when he’s calling for the legalization of child porn?” The Post Millennial‘s Ian Miles Cheong questioned on Twitter.

Vaush possesses almost 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and is considered by peers to be the apex of careerist grifters on the platform’s political side.

  1. Sion Owens of the British National Party was arrested 9 and a half years ago. The charge? Burning a Qur’an. There have been bans against entry into the country for many individuals since then based on their spoken political views. Writing something deemed insensitive about the Prophet Muhammad on social media is enough to get a visit from local police. Just recently it was deemed too offensive for the police to use the already watered down word Islamist terror when describing Jihadist strikes, faith-claimed terrorism is to be the replacement. But now the U.K. Law Commission is pushing for further revision? Where does it end? Is Sharia the only law being enforced? This will be the final death knell of an entire country if it passes.

    • So why aren’t you armed up and prepared for what is coming then? Nobody is going to save you but YOU! So? Sheep? Or Wolf? Which are you?

  2. “Police barred the Christan worshipers from entering into The Angel Church in Islington, stationing officers outside the entrance as well as parking two police vans and a car outside the evangelical church.”

    Heavy handed to say the least. The UK police are the first to claim lack of rescources when they decline to act against genuine crime, ie crimes of violence, Burglary and other forms of theft. UK law enforcement is a joke.

    Koran burning was ‘not a hate crime’

    The investigation into an incident where a Koran was set on fire in Malmö at the end of August – initiated by far-right Danish politician Rasmus Paludan, who was himself not present after being stopped by Swedish police on the border – has been dropped

    Since it’s not illegal, why was Rasmus prevented from entering Sweden? Given that the Dane has a Swedish passport too.
