Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/10/2017

Sunbathing holidaymakers on the beach in southern Spain were startled when around thirty migrants landed on the shore in a rubber boat, and then absconded inland. Police said they were unable to stop the incursion, because only one officer was on duty in the area at the time.

Meanwhile, Austria has reinforced its army units at the border control with Italy in the Brenner Pass.

In other news, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un threatened to launch a missile attack on Guam in the next few days to punish President Trump for his bellicose rhetoric.

“Black Sky Event”: Feds Preparing for Widespread Power Outages Across U.S.

Experts gear up for catastrophe that would “bring society to its knees”

Federal government agencies are preparing for the possibility of “widespread power outages” across the U.S. as a result of a “black sky” event that could “bring society to its knees”.

An exercise sponsored by FEMA and the U.S. Department of Energy set to take place on August 23 called EarthEX2017 will wargame responses to catastrophes such as mega earthquakes, cyber terrorism or high altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks.

The exercise will simulate a “subcontinent-scale, long duration power outage, with cascading failures of all other infrastructures,” according to the official Earth Ex website.

12 Critical Events That Are Going to Happen Over a 40 Day Period From August 21st to September 30th

The truth is out there, and if you diligently seek it you will eventually find it

We are about to witness an extremely unusual convergence of events that many believe could represent a major turning point for our nation.

By now you have probably heard that on August 21st a total solar eclipse will move across the entire continental United States for the first time in decades. In fact, we have not seen a total solar eclipse cross from the west coast to the east coast in 99 years. And it will be the very first total solar eclipse that is only visible in this country since the United States first became a nation. Starting with that event, there is going to be a whole lot going on until we reach the end of September. The following are 12 critical events that are going to happen over a 40 day period from August 21st to September 30th…

August 21 — The “Great American Eclipse” will sweep across portions of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Seven years later, another very unusual total solar eclipse will move across our nation, and when you plot the paths of both eclipses on a map, they form a giant “X” right over the center of the United States.

August 23 — A FEMA exercise known as “EarthEX2017” will simulate “catastrophes such as mega earthquakes, cyber terrorism or high altitude electromagnetic pulse attacks”…

Agency Selling Sex Toy Ads Blacklists “Obscene” Infowars Ads

Concentrated effort to censor free-thinking libertarians

An advertising agency denied business with Infowars due to the “possibility of obscene, abusive, violent, bigoted or hate-oriented content” despite the fact the agency does business with sex shops, “barely legal” magazines and clients accused of selling “hate content.”

California-based CJ Affiliates, a major affiliate marketing firm for web sites, said it consulted its “legal team” about Infowars and decided not to move forward, which suggests the company is picking and choosing clients based on political affiliations through the false veil of “combating obscenity and hate” given its other clients.

City Council Meeting Interrupted by Woman’s Purse Explosion

A Nevada city council meeting was interrupted when a woman’s purse abruptly burst into flames in a moment caught on camera.

Video from the Boulder City Council meeting Tuesday night shows a small explosion take place in the woman’s purse as she sits behind the man addressing the council.

Boulder City Fire Chief Kevin Nicholson, who regularly attends council meetings, rushed to the woman’s aid as the flames spread to her shirt.

“There was a battery malfunction in her purse that ignited her purse,” Nicholson said…

Greenfield: The Google Gulag

The internet cannot remain in the hands of a corporation that hates free speech.

The idea that made Google some twenty years ago was PageRank. It was ahead of its time in utilizing social technology to rate the relevance of a page. The idea has since been cannibalized as Google’s search algorithm favors its own products. And increasingly it also favors its own political views.

As the company swings left, it isn’t interested in the “wisdom of crowds”, only in its own agenda.

Google has embedded partisan attacks on conservatives into its search and news territories under the guise of “fact checks”. It has fundamentally shifted results for terms such as “Jihad” to reflect Islamist propaganda rather than the work of counterterrorism researchers such as Robert Spencer. And it wasn’t the first time. Google had been previously accused of manipulating search results during Brexit.

Censorship has long been a problem on YouTube. And it will now officially be caging “controversial” videos using a method developed by Jigsaw. Formerly Google Ideas, Jigsaw is Google’s left-wing incubator developing social justice tech.

The Southern Poverty Law Center guided Google’s censorship of Islamic search results. But there’s no reason to think that it will stop there until Google has completely cannibalized PageRank and replaced it with ProgRank in which search results will be dominated by left-wing sites in one category after another. First Autocomplete results and then actual search results will be censored and suppressed.

Google’s treatment of conservative users mirrors its internal treatment of conservative employees.

Is Exorcism Real?

Exorcism is surging in the U.S., and CNN just profiled one of the world’s top exorcists. But is demonic possession even real?

Experts say exorcism is “thriving” in the United States in recent decades, which is perhaps what prompted CNN to profile an academic regarded as one of the world’s foremost authorities on exorcism.

Dr. Richard Gallagher, an Ivy League-educated psychiatrist who teaches at Columbia, is the man exorcists call when they need help. Here is a brief profile, courtesy of CNN:

“Fighting Satan’s minions wasn’t part of Gallagher’s career plan while he was studying medicine at Yale. He knew about biblical accounts of demonic possession but thought they were an ancient culture’s attempt to grapple with mental disorders like epilepsy. He proudly calls himself a ‘man of science.’

Yet today, Gallagher has become something else: the go-to guy for a sprawling network of exorcists in the United States. He says demonic possession is real. He’s seen the evidence: victims suddenly speaking perfect Latin; sacred objects flying off shelves; people displaying “hidden knowledge” or secrets about people that they could not have possibly have known.”

‘There was one woman who was like 90 pounds soaking wet. She threw a Lutheran deacon who was about 200 pounds across the room,’ he says. ‘That’s not psychiatry. That’s beyond psychiatry.’“

For many people, Gallagher’s words here immediately betray him as a quack. The proposition that demons roam among us is simply a non-starter for many people in our age. He must be money hungry, daft, or delusional.

Indeed, this is a view Gallagher himself probably would have held at one time. He was inclined to skepticism for much of his life, he wrote in a Washington Post column last year, but his skepticism melted during one particular exorcism. It involved a woman he calls “Julia” (a pseudonym). Via CNN:…

Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal Tries to Take Over Trump White House for McMaster, Globalists

The paper of choice for Republican globalists hopes that there is more “clean-up duty to be done” for new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly

The Wall Street Journal and its publisher Rupert Murdoch appear to be using President Donald Trump’s national security adviser H.R. McMaster as their latest weapon in their continuing battle against Trump’s America-first agenda and movement that enabled Trump to shock the world on election night.

After Trump won the White House, Democrats, the Deep State, and the legacy media have often worked together to delegitimize Trump, which is something Trump has every reason to be angry about. But the Journal, by mimicking Joe Scarborough and attempting to marginalize Trump’s nationalist advisers, is subtly trying to take over Trump’s presidency for the GOP establishment that Trump resoundingly defeated over and over and over again.

In its latest editorial on Wednesday, the paper of choice for Republican globalists hopes that there is more “clean-up duty to be done” for new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. The paper targets White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon for opposing McMaster’s “favoring more troops” in Afghanistan and McMaster’s insistence on not getting out of the Iran Deal.

The Journal laments that the “policy brawls” in a White House in which it often seems like Bannon is the lone America-first nationalist in a cage match with a team of globalists who have never understood Trump’s agenda cause “dysfunction.”

New Amiga to Go on Sale in Late 2017

Apollo Accelerators to let FPGA-powered ‘Vampire V4’ see the light of day

The world’s getting a new Amiga for Christmas.

Yes, that Amiga — the seminal Commodore microcomputers that brought mouse-driven GUIs plus slick and speedy graphics to the masses from 1985 to 1996.

The Amiga was beloved by gamers, graphics pros and many an IT aficionado who just appreciated their speedy (for their time) Motorola 680×0 CPUs, multi-threading operating system and ability to work with images, sound and video.

The platform died when Commodore went bankrupt, but enthusiasm for the Amiga persisted and various clones and efforts to preserve AmigaOS continue to this day.

One such effort, from Apollo Accelerators, emerged last week: the company’s forthcoming “Vampire V4” can work as a standalone Amiga or an accelerator for older Amigas.

NY Times Confirms Mueller Fishing Expedition Behind FBI Raid of Paul Manafort

Mueller was supposed to be investigating Russian collusion

In a report contracting The Washington Post, The New York Times reported Wednesday afternoon the FBI’s raid on former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was due his alleged failure to disclose a foreign bank account…

The Bank Secrecy Act, which requires Americans to disclose all foreign bank accounts holding over $10,000, is a widely criticized law hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans are violating due to mere happenstance, the punishment for which is generally a large fine.

Sneed: ‘Murder by Overkill’ — River North Victim Stabbed 50 Times

Sneed is told 26-year-old murder victim Trenton H. James Cornell-Duranleau — found murdered on July 27 inside a River North apartment — was stabbed nearly 50 times and almost decapitated.

“It was a gruesome murder by overkill — a murder of extreme passion which accounts for blood being found and flung everywhere,” said a source familiar with the police investigation. “The young man obviously was not just stabbed in the back.”

The victim’s body was found in the apartment of Northwestern University professor Wyndham Lathem, 42, who was arrested last week in California after a cross-country manhunt…

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall Announces Retirement

REGINA — After nearly 10 years at the helm, Premier Brad Wall announced Thursday that he is stepping down and retiring from politics.

Wall became Saskatchewan’s 14th premier when he was elected on Nov. 21, 2007. Wall became the leader of the Sask. Party in 2004. In the 2011 provincial election, the Sask. Party won the third-largest majority government in the province’s history.

Wall said he will carry on as premier until a new leader is chosen. No timeline on a leadership race was given, but it will be before the next general election.

Wall said he has no immediate plans for what comes next in his life. He said originally he was retiring from politics “in Saskatchewan” but when asked what that meant clarified he “should have said everywhere.”

During a statement delivered on Facebook, Wall pointed to his party’s economic record in the province noting an increase in the population ad the number of people working in the province. He also spoke about the reduction in surgical wait times and income tax reductions.

In a news conference later in the day, he pointed to increases in Saskatchewan’s exports as a result of trade missions as one of his proudest accomplishments.

“I’m proud we were able to tell Saskatchewan’s story around the world the way it hadn’t been,” he said…

London Mayor Blames Islamic Knife Attacks on YouTube Videos

Londonistan Mayor Sadiq Khan clueless on radical Islam

The mayor of London received backlash after announcing an initiative to drive down knife crime by going after an unlikely culprit: Youtube videos.

Sadiq Khan was accused of ignoring the true origin behind the UK’s crime wave in a Monday tweet, in which he called on social media to “toughen guidelines & remove violent videos” in order to stem knife violence…

The mayor’s tone-deaf initiative comes after numerous knife attacks in London, the UK and Europe as a whole, with the Islamic State terror group claiming responsibility for many.

In a June 12 truck attack which struck nearly 40 pedestrians on London Bridge, three men exited the vehicle and stabbed people announcing the attacks were carried out in the name of Islam.

Describing the attack on her 23-year-old son Daniel, Elisabeth O’Neill said, “He had just stepped outside the bar for a second and a man ran up to him and said ‘this is for my family, this is for Islam’ and stuck a knife in him.”

The attack followed an Islamic State propaganda campaign encouraging would-be jihadists to conduct gun, knife and truck attacks to “kill the civilians of the crusaders” during Ramadan.

Brian Williams: ‘Our Job is to Scare People to Death’ Over Nkorea

Fake news reporter admits plan to control narrative

MSNBC host Brian Williams admitted that the mainstream media’s “job tonight actually is to scare people to death” over North Korea.

Speaking to his panel on his primetime show The 11th Hour Tuesday night, Williams made the telling remark during a discussion about what the potential death toll could be should North Korea launch ballistic missiles on South Korea or Japan.

“Our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject, so the talk isn’t as free as it is about a preemptive or surgical military strike,” Williams said.

Despite the fact that President Trump and North Korea’s leader have already been exchanging fiery rhetoric over the last few months, the mainstream media continues to fulfill their real purpose: to stoke fears among the people to make them more willing to give up rights in exchange for government protection.

When military force is inevitable, the corporate media will shift from fear mongering to cheerleading military action to get public opinion to support such action once it’s underway.

Germany: Firefighter Fired, Fined Over Anti-Migrant Facebook Post

A firefighter has been fired from his position after being found guilty of incitement by a German court due to an anti-migrant post he made on Facebook.

Rejects up to 1,400 asylum applications in one minute.” Whilst the man appealed against the court judgement, his employer told him that if convicted he would also lose his job, Sächsische Zeitung reports.

The same court also saw a similar case occur earlier this year when a 27-year-old farmer was found guilty of hate speech after he called asylum seekers drecksvolk or “filthy people” on Facebook. The farmer made the comments after two asylum seekers from North Africa had stolen sheep from his property.

Former Google Employee: ‘There Are Efforts to Demote Anything Non-PC From Search Results’

Google was thrown into turmoil last night after the company fired James Damore

Google was thrown into turmoil last night after the company fired James Damore, author of a manifesto defending viewpoint diversity and a fact-based approach to the alleged gender gap in tech. In exclusive interviews with Breitbart News, more Google employees are now speaking out in support of the manifesto.

Damore’s ten-page manifesto, which was met by an immediate backlash, described a climate of fear, in which employees who challenge prevailing leftist narratives at the company are faced with immediate threats to their career. Damore’s own experience appears to confirm this.

Breitbart News is exclusively publishing a series of interviews with current and former Google employees who contacted us in the wake of the manifesto’s publication.

The interview series, entitled “Rebels of Google,” will be published in full over the coming days. Because every employee who spoke to us fears for their job if their identities were made public, we have provided aliases in place of their real names.

Pope Francis is Taking on the American Religious Right

Specifically, conservative Catholics.

From the Times:

The authors, writing in a Vatican-vetted journal, singled out Stephen K.Bannon, Mr. Trump’s chief strategist, as a “supporter of an apocalyptic geopolitics” that has stymied action against climate change and exploited fears of migrants and Muslims with calls for “walls and purifying deportations.” The article warns that conservative American Catholics have strayed dangerously into the deepening political polarization in the United States. The writers even declare that the worldview of American evangelical and hard-line Catholics, which is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, is “not too far apart’’ from jihadists.

A mark, that will surely leave.

American Catholicism, he argued, echoing the article’s thesis, “has become different than mainstream European Catholicism and mainstream Latin American Catholicism,” and has fallen “into the hands of the religious right.” The authors of the article argue that American evangelical and ultraconservative Catholics risk corrupting the Roman Catholic faith with an ideology intended to inject “religious influence in the political sphere.” They suggest that so-called values voters are using the banners of religious liberty and opposition to abortion to try to supplant secularism with a “theocratic type of state.”

All of this puts Callista Gingrich, our new ambassador to the Vatican, and the third wife of N. Leroy Gingrich, Definer of civilization’s rules and Leader (perhaps) of the civilizing forces, in something of a nutcracker. N. Leroy converted to Catholicism after marrying Callista. You can puzzle out the timeline of Gingrich’s personal history at your leisure. As someone told NPR:

Vatican to Host Another Population Control Conference With Pro-Abortion Speakers

ROME, Italy August 3, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — The Pontifical Academy of Science (PAS) has announced another population control conference.

“Health of People, Health of Planet and Our Responsibility: Climate Change, Air Pollution and Health” will be held November 2-4 at the Vatican.

The conference’s title obscures the questionable personal ideologies and professional objectives of a number of its slated participants.

Participants include:

John Schellnhuber is founding director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and chair of the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU). He is considered one of the world’s leading climate scientists and one of the strongest advocates of the theory that the earth is undergoing catastrophic global warming.

Schellnhuber is also known for his advocacy of a one-world government. In order to avoid his catastrophic predictions for unchecked climate change, Schellnhuber proposes the need for indispensable forms of world governance — or in his own words, a “global democratic society” — to be organized within the framework of the United Nations. Schellnhuber says in his 2013 article “Expanding the Democracy Universe” that “global democracy might be organized around three core activities, namely (i) an Earth Constitution; (ii) a Global Council; and (iii) a Planetary Court.”

Schellnhuber has little patience for those who do not accept his scientific theories and conclusions. In a May 2014 interview with musician Pierre Baigorry, Schellnhuber claimed that sometimes politicians have to take citizens to task “with coercion” to overcome their own resistance to change.

Sir Partha Dasgupta

Dasgupta is a proponent of population control, lauding China’s Human Development Index despite that country’s brutal “family planning” policy. He is also a patron of Population Matters, formerly known as the Optimum Population Trust, that lobbies for a “sustainable population size,” including the “reversing of population growth” in many countries.

  1. On anti-Pope Francis taking on the American ‘right’: I’d say Steve Bannon is on the money in what he can see brewing if not stopped.

    • I am afraid that Bannon is the real, and increasingly isolated voice of the people in the White House.

  2. Is exorcism real? Of course it is. And Jesus Christ was the original exorcist, and Christians were the original Ghost Busters, through the power of Jesus Christ.

    It’s only now – when true Biblical Christianity is dissappearing from our societies that the ghosts are coming back to haunt us. I can confess to everybody that I have seen and experienced deamons in actions. For the technically minded: It is like a virus software that attacks human heart and mind, driving him crazy.

    Some deamons are weak, and can be driven out through prayer (*talking sense), others require some heavy fasting and help from the family, or friends. Yet some great deamos can be driven out only through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

    • “Illegal” isn’t a noun. It’s an adjective, a modifier. “Illegal” what? What’s the rest of your phrase?

      “Migrant” is short and handy. I don’t use “refugee” except sarcastically.

      • They are illegals, against the law. It is not like illegal money…but the sum of all things against all laws. Just illegals. Something that must by corrected or eliminated.

      • Come on, I expected better than that Baron. “Smarts” is not a noun either, but I am sure you are aware that in English it is sometimes OK to use adjectives as shorthand for nouns. I meant of course illegal immigrants.

  3. …and Australia is banning men from being employed in many upcoming military jobs….35/50 positions can only be filled by women I believe.
