Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/15/2018

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is proposing that the streets around Parliament become pedestrian-only areas. Mr. Khan says the action is necessary to forestall vehicular jihad attacks like the one that occurred yesterday in Westminster.

In other news, 524 migrants traveling in 12 boats were “rescued” by the Spanish maritime rescue service in the Strait of Gibraltar.

$125,000: The Pension Debt Each Chicagoan is Really on the Hook for

Authored by Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner via WirePoints.com

Chicagoans have no idea how much pension debt Illinois politicians have saddled them with. Officially, Windy City residents are on the hook for $70 billion in total pension shortfalls from the city and its sister governments plus a share of Cook County and state pensions.

But listen to Moody’s Investors Service, the rating agency that’s been most critical of Chicago’s finances, and you’ll get a different picture. Moody’s pegs the total pension debt burden for Chicagoans at $130 billion, nearly double the official numbers. (Yes, by chance the number is eerily similar to the official shortfall of $129 billion facing the five state-run pension funds. But don’t confuse the two.)

“Poop Patrol” Aims to Wipe Clean San Francisco’s Infamous Crap-Covered Sidewalks

San Francisco authorities have finally decided to do something about the vast amounts of vagrant-generated feces covering its streets, after thousands of feces complaints, the cancellation of a major medical convention and an outraged new Mayor, London Breed, who was absolutely shocked after walking through her city.

“I will say there is more feces on the sidewalks than I’ve ever seen growing up here,” Breed said last month. “That is a huge problem and we are not just talking about from dogs — we’re talking about from humans.”

11-Year-Old Hacks Into Mock Florida Election Results Website in Under 10 Minutes

An 11-year-old boy hacked into a mock-up of a Florida state election website to change the voting results in under ten minutes at the world’s largest yearly hacking convention on Friday.

Organizers of the event, DEFCON 26, said in a statement that 11-year-old Emmett Brewer was one out of 50 children participating in the challenge to achieve the feat in such a short amount of time.

Brewer, along with the other children between the ages of eight to 16 years old, participated in the “DEFCON Voting Machine Hacking Village,” which allowed the children to change candidate names, party names, and vote count totals.

Nico Sell, one of the organizers of the event who also co-founded an organization which teaches kids how to become hackers, said an 11-year-old girl was also able to hack into the same mock Florida election website in about 15 minutes, tripling the vote totals on the site.

“These are very accurate replicas of all of the sites,” Sell told PBS NewsHour Sunday. “These things should not be easy enough for an 8-year-old kid to hack within 30 minutes, it’s negligent for us as a society.”

America’s Hottest Export? Sperm

Demand for US sperm is on the rise. Not just American; Danish semen is also used by women around the world. The reasons are as varied and distinctive as each country’s own regulations and approach to bioethics and business.

Sperm from the US and Denmark dominate the market because those countries currently have the most supply, experts say. It’s unclear whether their rivalry is serious or in jest, but US-based California Cryobank and Denmark’s Cryos International each insist that their sperm repository is biggest.

California Cryobank claims it is the largest sperm bank in the world by “any metric”; Scott Brown, director of client experience, noted that the firm has a pool of roughly 600 donors and a track record of 75,000 live births globally since 1977. The company has locations in Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and New York.

In Denmark, Cryos, the superstore for Viking sperm, is the main player. “California Cryobank is definitely the largest in the United States, but worldwide, we absolutely crush them,” Corey Burke, the tissue bank director at Cryos International’s Florida outpost, told the Guardian…

Black Man Puts Life in Danger Trying to Protect Man From Horrific Beating by Leftist Hate Group ANTIFA

Yesterday, #VeryFakeNewsCNN’s Brian Stelter attempted to frame the leftist hate, and domestic terror group, Antifa as an “anti-hate group” in a disgusting tweet about the crowd at the Charlottesville protest: “ANTI-HATE GROUPS DRAMATICALLY OUTNUMBER WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN DC”…

This is why CNN is called fake news…All we saw was hate from the “anti-hate” groups.

A new video has surfaced, showing a man being brutally beaten by the masked, cowardly, leftist, hate group, Antifa. A black, unarmed man can be seen, bravely jumping into the melee, and potentially saving the life of the unarmed man who was on the ground being hit by either sticks or bats, while being brutally kicked by the cowardly thugs.

Is this the “anti-hate” group CNN’s Brian Stelter was referring to?

Brennan Lashes Out After “Tyrant” Trump Revokes Security Clearance: “Americans Should Gravely Worry”

Update: As expected, former CIA Director Brennan has taken to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction with the President’s decision, claiming that Trump’s move “should gravely worry all Americans” as it is “part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics.”

“I will not relent,” he concludes…

Censorship is What Happens When Powerful People Get Scared

Anyone who tells you the recent escalation of censorship by U.S. tech giants is merely a reflection of private companies making independent decisions is either lying or dangerously ignorant.

In the case of Facebook, the road from pseudo-platform to willing and enthusiastic tool of establishment power players is fairly straightforward. It really got going earlier this year when issues surrounding egregious privacy violations in the case of Cambridge Analytica (stuff that had been going on for years) could finally be linked to the Trump campaign. It was at this point that powerful and nefarious forces spotted an opportunity to leverage the company’s gigantic influence in distributing news and opinion for their own ends. Rather than hold executives to account and break up the company, the choice was made to commandeer and weaponize the platform. This is where we stand today.

Let’s not whitewash history though. These tech companies have been compliant, out of control government snitches for a long time. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we’re aware of the deep and longstanding cooperation between these lackeys and U.S. intelligence agencies in the realm of mass surveillance. As such, the most recent transformation of these companies into full fledged information gatekeepers should be seen in its proper context; merely as a dangerous continuation and expansion of an already entrenched reality.

But it’s all out in the open now. Facebook isn’t even hiding the fact that it’s outsourcing much of its “fake news” analysis to the Atlantic Council, a think tank funded by NATO, Gulf States and defense contractors. As reported by Reuters:…

First and foremost, the entire push to make arbitrary de-platforming by tech giants the new norm proves the establishment is scared to death. The very powerful folks accustomed to manipulating and shaping the world via narrative creation aren’t terrified about what Alex Jones says, they’re terrified that it’s popular. The establishment “elites” are in such denial about the consequences of the world they created, all they can do is spastically attack symptoms. Trump didn’t divide U.S. society and Alex Jones didn’t cause our widespread (and entirely justifiably) distrust in institutions; the status quo system did that via its spectacular failures. Trump’s election and Alex Jones’ popularity are merely symptoms of an incredibly corrupt and failed status quo paradigm, the stewards of which continually refuse to take a look in the mirror, accept blame and reform.

Exclusive: FBI Confirms Jihadi Training Camps in America

Newly-released FBI documents obtained by Clarion Project confirm Clarion’s reports that Jamaat ul-Fuqra is training members in isolated communes across America and Canada.

The group’s “Islamberg” headquarters in upstate New York is its most well-known “Islamic village.”

Fuqra, which now goes by the name of the Muslims of the Americas (MOA) among other titles, is a cultish Islamist group with a history of crime and terrorism. The group is led by Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani in Pakistan.

Gilani’s name appeared in headlines in 2002 when Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was abducted and beheaded on his way to interview Gilani, though the radical cleric was never accused of an involvement in those crimes.

FDA Recalls Thyroid Tablets Made by Chinese Firm

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of Westminster Pharmaceuticals thyroid tablets due to the risk of adulteration.

In an Aug. 9 statement, the FDA says that Levothyroxine and Liothyronine 15 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg thyroid tablets are being recalled for precautionary purposes.

They were “manufactured using active pharmaceutical ingredients that were sourced prior to the FDA’s import alert” regarding a Chinese firm that made the products, the agency said.

A 2017 inspection of China’s Sichuan Friendly Pharmaceutical Co. drugs discovered “deficiencies” and could “represent the possibility of risk being introduced into the manufacturing process,” the FDA said. …

In an annual report, the U.S.—China Economic and Security Review Commission said that China is now a “prolific source” of defective and counterfeit drugs in the U.S., adding that “Chinese consumers may prefer U.S. pharmaceutical products due to concerns over the quality of domestic drugs.”

“China has been a prolific source of counterfeit and defective medicine. In 2012, Chinese authorities seized 77 million domestically produced gel capsules that were created from industrial waste and contained excessive levels of cadmium,” the commission’s report noted.

Flashback: Matt Drudge Warns Not to ‘Get Famous’ On YouTube, ‘Google’s Hell Pit’

Media pioneer Matt Drudge is vindicated after warning InfoWars founder Alex Jones — purged by Silicon Valley’s largest companies Monday — in a rare 2015 interview about the pervasiveness of corporate power over American life.

In a wide-ranging interview with Jones, the Drudge Report founder sounded the alarm about Facebook and Google’s influence over the media and greater internet landscape.

“I am not on Facebook. I don’t do the socials. I have that little Twitter thing — even that is kind of disgusting,” Drudge told Jones. “You know, I have been doing the Internet as long as you have been doing this radio show, Alex. Literally every day… And I’ll tell you, I was there before Facebook. I was there before CNN.com. I was there before mostly all of them,” he added. “I have a very clear perception of what the Internet is in my mind. I am free.”

Nasty Poster Promoted by Anti-Trump Democrat Loving Rock Band Pearl Jam

If you were wondering what good old Pearl Jam was up to these days, then look no further than their latest poster that promotes a concert being held to encourage people to vote as it promotes Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT). The poster includes an image that represents a dead Donald Trump who is now a skeleton, being picked at by an American bald eagle, and reaching for a briefcase with some less than funny Russian propaganda.

Is this what all rock bands promote, or just Pearl Jam? I’m asking because I love rock music, but I’m 100% fed up with entertainment mixing themselves into politics and it’s getting quite tiring and overplayed like a really bad record. You agree, right?

It’s one thing to be edgy, but it’s very lame for musicians to get mixed up with politics. Pearl Jam has some great tunes, but this incident with the deceased President Trump will surely turn some fans away from their music. It’s acceptable for them to support a republican or democrat, as it’s their right as individuals to vote for whomever they like best (or who pays the most), but does showing a dead president in a disrespectful way rub people the wrong way?

[Comment: Note the poster has the illuminati eye looking over the body of the president. The deep state is pulling the strings and the poster is a reflection of their wet dream. Evil people.]

NM Judge Receives Death Threats After Releasing Muslim Compound Group

Americans are outraged! A New Mexico judge known for her lenient decisions is receiving death threats because of her latest bad decision. Judge Sarah Backus decided that the state hadn’t proven their case. She didn’t think they were convincing enough in their effort to prove the group of Muslim men and women were a danger to the community. She released the group with a low signature bond of $20,000 pending trial. The’ll have to wear an ankle monitor during that time and cannot leave the country. As it turns out, one of the women has been detained by federal immigration but no further information has come out on her.

The Taos County, NM courthouse had to be evacuated because of credible threats against the judge on social media, phone calls an emails. Americans are sick of lenient judges like Backus!…

The Defense said that it’s “prudent” to teach children how to use a weapon. They tried to distance themselves from the weapons and then used the comparison to a Christian group who was armed. They basically tried to turn the tables to make this a Muslim vs Christian issue when it’s not…

HERE’S WHAT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA ISN’T TELLING YOU! The story below will have you asking how a Muslim compound like this can exist in America. Someone MUST have seen something and someone must know what happened to a young boy who is still missing! The missing 4-year old’s father was arrested at the New Mexico compound and isn’t speaking. He’s the son of an imam with a “checkered past”:

Philly Man Charged in Chaotic Shooting Inside Cheltenham Walmart

A Philadelphia man who police say “indiscriminately” fired a handgun inside a crowded Montgomery County Walmart, wounding five people, has been charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder.

Keenan Jones, 30, was arraigned on those charges Wednesday morning in district court in Cheltenham Township, a few miles from where the chaotic scene unfolded hours earlier. He is also accused of assaulting and injuring two Philadelphia police officers during a scuffle after crashing into their vehicle near the store.

A woman who accompanied Jones to the Walmart, identified as his sister, is cooperating with investigators and does not face criminal charges at this time, according to court officials.

Jones was granted $1 million bail by Magisterial District Judge Christopher J. Cerski, who noted that Jones’ prior criminal record — which includes a felony convictions for witness intimidation — made him a flight risk.

At his arraignment, conducted remotely because Jones remained in custody at the Cheltenham Township police station, the fiber-optics contractor apologized to the police officers who responded to the shooting. He said he was “hurting,” but not from injuries sustained during his arrest and the subsequent car chase into Philadelphia.

He told the judge he has mental-health issues, and had felt that his life was in danger at the store.

“I need hospital help,” Jones said. “I haven’t slept in five days. I had food that had me feeling strange.”

After the hearing, Jones remained in custody in county jail, unable to post bail. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for Aug. 22…

Strzok GoFundMe Raises $250,000 Within Hours

A GoFundMe launched by the “Friends Of Special Agent Peter Strzok” has raised over $250,000 from over 6,000 people in less than 24 hours, after the fired FBI agent tweeted a link to the campaign yesterday. The campaign, which originally sought to raise $150,000 has now raised its goal to $350,000 — and at this rate, it won’t take long to get there.

Strzok was fired after anti-Trump text messages between he and his FBI mistress, Lisa Page, were discovered by the DOJ’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz. While Page left the agency in May, Strzok was demoted to the HR department, where he collected a paycheck until last Friday.

“Peter Strzok is a proud husband and father, a veteran of the U.S. Army and counterintelligence Special Agent,” reads the GoFundMe page — which managed, in less than a day, to raise the same $250,000 his wife Melissa Hodgman makes in an entire year at the SEC!

Trump vs. His Own Administration?

Are President Trump’s senior cabinet members working against him? It’s hard not to conclude that many of the more hawkish neocons that Trump has (mistakenly, in my view) appointed to top jobs are actively working to undermine the president’s stated agenda. Especially when it seems Trump is trying to seek dialogue with countries the neocons see as adversaries needing to be regime-changed.

Remember just as President Trump was organizing an historic summit meeting with Kim Jong-Un, his National Security Advisor, John Bolton, nearly blew the whole thing up by making repeated references to the “Libya model” and how it should be applied to North Korea. As if Kim would jump at the chance to be bombed, overthrown, and murdered at the hands of a US-backed mob!

It seems that Trump’s appointees are again working at cross-purposes to him. Last week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that he was invoking a 1991 US law against the use of chemical weapons to announce yet another round of sanctions on Russia over what he claims is Putin’s involvement in the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in the UK.

The alleged poisoning took place in March and only now did the State Department make its determination that Russia was behind it and thus subject to the 1991 sanction law. Was there new information that came to light that pointed to Russian involvement? According to a State Department briefing there was none. The State Department just decided to take the British government’s word for it.

Where do we get authority to prosecute Russia for an alleged crime committed in the UK, by the way?

President Trump’s own Administration is forcing him to accept the State Department determination and agree to sanctions that may well include, according to the 1991 law, a complete break of diplomatic relations with Russia. This would be a de facto declaration of war. Over unproven allegations.

Trump has authority to reject the imposition of new sanctions, but with his Democrat opponents continuing to charge that he is in league with the Russian president, how could he waive sanctions just before the November US Congressional elections? That would be a windfall for the Democrats seeking to take control of the House and Senate.

The only way Russia could avoid the second, most extreme round of these sanctions in November is to promise not to use chemical weapons again and open its doors to international inspections. What government would accept such a demand when no proof has been presented that they used chemical weapons in the first place?

Certainly it is possible that President Trump is fully aware of the maneuverings of Bolton and Pompeo and that he approves. Perhaps he likes to play “good cop, bad cop” with the rest of the world, at the same time making peace overtures while imposing sanctions and threatening war. But it certainly looks like some of his cabinet members are getting the best of him.

UN: Trump Could be Prosecuted for “Incitement” Against Media

After equating U.S. President Donald Trump’s “tactics” to those of the Islamic State (ISIS), a top United Nations bureaucrat infamous for persecuting whistleblowers is now comparing the American leader to National Socialist (Nazi) mass-murderer Adolf Hitler. In particular, the UN “High Commissioner for Human Rights” attacked Trump over his comments about the dishonest establishment media. The controversial UN bureaucrat warned that the American leader’s rhetoric borders on “incitement to violence.” But a “court” will have to decide if Trump is actually guilty, the UN official told a far-left British newspaper.

The criticism from the UN “human rights” boss, an Islamic prince set to step down in disgrace this month, was ostensibly sparked by Trump’s escalating feud with what the president often ridicules as the “fake news” media. Frustrated with constant lies and propaganda from establishment mouthpieces such as CNN and the Washington Post, Trump has even referred to the “fake news” media as an “enemy of the people.” Among other concerns, he cited their lies and noted that they can and do “cause wars.” Trump’s comments, which sparked outrage among “fake news” purveyors, came amid an unprecedented hate campaign against the elected American president and his supporters…

Ironically, much of Hussein’s criticism of America boils down to the fact that the U.S. government does not infringe upon God-given rights as much as the UN wishes it would. For instance, after a jihadist with well-documented homosexual tendencies shot up a homosexual night club in Orlando, Hussein sprang into action to demand more infringements on the fundamental human rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment. Blasting the fact that there are “hundreds of millions of guns in circulation,” Hussein called for the U.S. government to adopt “robust gun regulation” and a UN-approved “legal framework to control the acquisition and use of firearms.” There was no similar whining when jihadists with AK-47s and bombs shot over 500 people in Paris, where such weapons were already illegal.

White House Revokes Security Clearance of Former, Highly Political, CIA Director John Brennan…

Strzok Fired, Likely Bruce Ohr is Next — False FISA Affidavits, Fraudulent 302’s, Security Clearances Under Review…

[also: theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/08/15/white-house-revokes-security-clearance-of-former-highly-political-cia-director-john-brennan/]

One of the outcomes of losing a security clearance is the inability to prepare for any testimony. When Sarah Sanders stated today that currently employed DOJ official Bruce Ohr was a person having a security clearance review; the logical takeaway is he will be fired after he delivers his testimony.

The media narrative surrounding FBI Agent Peter Strzok’s firing has been framed, almost exclusively, around his political text messages. Given the nature of the media participation in the events this is not surprising. However, Strzok’s text messages have no bearing on his firing.

In March 2018 the DOJ Office of Inspector General announced an ongoing review of how the DOJ and FBI used FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) as a weaponized tool against their political opposition.

As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications. (pdf link)

Two months later on Monday May 21st, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein added a significant DOJ mandate to the Inspector General review. Rosenstein expanded the original FISA review to include looking at whether officials within the intelligence community may have unlawfully used human intelligence assets to “spy” or “surveil” the Trump campaign:

“The Department has asked the Inspector General to expand the ongoing review of the FISA application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation of persons suspected of involvement with the Russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election.” (link)

Part of that ongoing IG review surrounds FBI Affidavits presented to the FISA Court (FISC) and whether those affidavits were fraudulent; thereby misleading the court. FBI Agent Peter Strzok is the primary affiant swearing to the truthfulness and fullness of the information that underlines the FISA application (ie. Woods Procedures) . We know Peter Strzok lied and misrepresented information to the court.

In addition to violating the Woods Procedures, FBI Agent Peter Strzok likely falsified, manipulated and shaped FD-302 investigative notes in both the Hillary Clinton and Michael Flynn interviews. His own text messages with DOJ Special Counsel Lisa Page highlights that Peter Strzok was very familiar with manipulating evidence by the narrative he could/did write in his 302 submissions.

On May 11, 2018, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley dropped a sunlight grenade into the prosecution of Michael Flynn with a jaw-dropping request letter (full pdf below) to FBI Director Christopher Wray. [Judiciary Link Here]

Within the letter Chairman Grassley outlined a prior briefing from fired FBI Director James Comey to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and contrasts the false presentations of James Comey and by extension Peter Strzok -regarding Michael Flynn- against recently known evidence.

Who Speaks for the Forgotten and Ignored Generation?

Back in September of 2013, we penned an article entitled, “What Happens When the Wise Ones Are Gone?” In the article we wrote:

“After decades of government handouts and the brainwashing and indoctrination of our children in the public school system, the younger generation does not possess the same point of reference on the principles of liberty as do those of us in our 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. There are only a few tens of thousands who remember the trials of the Great Depression and many of us were young children or infants during the Second World War. Still, the nanny state had not yet intruded into our daily lives, as it has recently.”

“Every single human being develops beliefs and opinions based on their accumulated experiences and knowledge and other influences from a variety of sources, gleaned over the years of their lifetime. Sometimes those beliefs and opinions evolve into new beliefs as they accumulate new information. Sometimes the beliefs become firm and fixed no matter what new information comes their way. As a general rule, our political beliefs are heavily influenced by what our parents believe and the actions they took, or are now taking, in furtherance of those beliefs.” As the population ages and the older generation begins to die off, the general beliefs and opinions of that generation die off with them and those general beliefs and opinions of that generation are replaced by the emerging generation. That is why President Reagan said: ‘Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.’“

The question is, “…. who will be the soldiers to save America, the young, or the old?” Right now it is the older ones with wisdom that “see” the true realities and have a broad point of reference from which their wisdom springs. The younger ones aren’t there yet and may never get there at the current rate of government indoctrination, brainwashing, propaganda and “free” handouts.

If you are under 60, most of the following will have no meaning for you. If you are 65 or older, you will know exactly what we are talking about.

Why is the Media Diverting Your Attention From the 35 Known Jihadi Camps in America?

It was reported last week on The Sons of Liberty Media by Mac Slavo:

“Eleven children were rescued from a compound in New Mexico, which was being run by armed Muslim extremists. Authorities found all the children living in deplorable living conditions after raiding the property looking specifically for a three-year-old boy. It is also being reported that they were training children up for school shootings.”

A Muslim military camp heavily armed in New Mexico? Training up children to go into schools and shoot them up? Yes, you heard that right, in America (Deuteronomy 28:50).

They are bringing their culture with them into this country. These Muslims are not looking for help. They are here to terrorize, and they are looking to conquer.

But what are you being told by the media? You are being told that they are contributing to society. Really? Let’s take a look at Muslims from the east who are plundering countries that they are entering.

  • Denmark: 450% more crimes committed by Muslims then non-Muslims.
  • Germany: Muslim migrants committed 142, 500 crimes in 6 months. This is 780 every day.
  • Sweden: 480,000 sexual assaults in one year. 77% of all rapes by less than 2% Muslim.
  • England & Wales: Over 56% of Syrian refugees committed severe crimes in less than 1 year etc.
  • Belgium: 35% of prison population is Muslim who make up only 6% of the population.
  • UK: Muslims fill 44% of high security prisons, out of a 5% population.
  • 91.4 % Muslim refugees are on food stamps, 68.3 % on cash welfare.
  • Muslim migration has doubled in the decade since 9/11 and 60% of migrants to America favor Sharia law (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

All that one has to do is look to Germany, Sweden, France, or to the U.K. to see what is happening concerning the Muslim invasions and overthrow of these countries. Again, these Muslims are not coming into to these countries to assimilate, they are there to conquer, and it is exactly what they are doing (Matthew 7:16). This is happening incrementally and Scripturally, it is called a siege.

Worst May be Yet to Come Amid an Extreme California Wildfire Season

A couple of very tough months are ahead for the wildfire season and firefighting efforts in the western United States, especially California.

Approximately 110 large wildfires are burning across the U.S., and most of these fires are burning in the West, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Countless acres of brush, which growth was spurred on by winter and spring moisture, have had all summer to dry out.

Extreme heat, dryness, blazing sunshine and accidental and intentional incidents by humans have already contributed to a formidable fire year.

[…]

Even as sunshine and average temperatures decline moving forward into the autumn, episodes of wind traditionally increase during September and October.

Temperatures can still spike to triple-digit levels during the first part of autumn. Temperatures have topped 100 F in Los Angeles well into October, and have climbed into the 90s in San Francisco during October.

In coastal areas of California, extreme temperatures during the late summer and autumn are often accompanied by gusty Santa Ana, Diablo and Sundowner winds.

Even when temperatures are relatively low, gusty winds can still cause a fire to rapidly spread, when the air and brush are dry.

During autumn, weather systems across southern Canada and the northern U.S. tend to get stronger, when compared to the summer. The circulation around these storms and high pressure areas often cause winds to kick up farther south as well.

Multiple soaking rainstorms are needed to alleviate the wildfire danger. Even a fraction of the rain the Eastern and Central states have been receiving would help. However, hope for these types of storms are months away for California, much of Oregon, Nevada and Utah.

While thunderstorms from the monsoon pattern can bring temporary relief, the storms tend to focus on New Mexico, Colorado and parts of Arizona and are too widely scattered to provide relief in a general sense…

Fatah: Canada Has No Space for Sir John A, But Plenty for Jinnah

On Sunday evening, Quebec MP Maxime Bernier posted a six-tweet thread on ‘extreme multiculturalism’ that has set off a political maelstrom in Canada, a country that seems no longer accustomed to hearing the truth from its political leaders.

Bernier warned Canadians that the “cult of diversity will divide us into little tribes that have less and less in common, apart from their dependence on government in Ottawa. These tribes become political clienteles to be bought with taxpayers $ and special privileges.”

A photo recently emerged of UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn attending a ceremony and laying a wreath at a cemetery of Palestinian “martyrs.” The photo, taken in 2014 in Tunisia, shows Corbyn seen standing in front of a plaque that commemorates (and is located next to the graves of) Black September members, Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorists responsible, among other attacks, for the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Qatar: France’s Generous Financer of Mosques

The Great Mosque of Poitiers, for instance, sits in the vicinity of the site of the Battle of Tours, where Charles Martel, ruler of the Franks, stopped the advancing Muslim army of Abdul al-Rahman in the year 732.

“We have funds from abroad… it comes from the faithful of Saudi Arabia and Qatar,” says Ahmed Jamaleddine, treasurer of the Amal association, which is behind the construction of “the Great Mosque of Saint-Denis.” Saint-Denis also happens to be home to a famous Cathedral, the Basilica of Saint-Denis — which contains the royal necropolis where many of France’s kings are buried.

The Emir of Qatar appears to have a far greater grasp of French history than many French do.

Salvini: ‘No Room’ For Roma Who Robbed Elderly Disabled Woman of Her Pension

Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini expressed outrage in reaction to a video which showed a Roma woman use a baby to rob an elderly disabled Italian woman of her pension at a cash machine.

The video shows the Roma woman carrying a two-month-old baby and approaching the elderly woman in the city of Sassari. Using the blanket covering the baby, the thief was able to put her free hand into the Italian’s bag and steal an envelope of cash, Il Giornale reports.

The 31-year-old Roma woman, who is reported to be a mother of 12 children, was later arrested after the pensioner discovered the cash was missing and reported the 600 euro theft to the police who were able to identify the woman from CCTV footage.

Syrian Army to ISIS: ‘Surrender or Die’ In East Sweida

The Syrian Arab Army issued their final demand to the terrorists off the Islamic State (ISIS) in the eastern countryside of Sweida, calling on their forces to either surrender the Al-Safa Canyon or die.

The Islamic State is fully besieged at the strategic Al-Safa Canyon and all of their attempts to break out of this region have failed.

Earlier today, several Islamic State militants attempted to evade capture by fleeing the Al-Safa Canyon; however, they were spotted by the Syrian Arab Army and National Defense Forces.

Making matters more complicated, the Islamic State terrorists are believed to be holding the 30+civilians that were kidnapped from the Sweida Governorate on July 25th.

The Islamic State has asked for a large sum of money in exchange for the release of these civilians, but this was two weeks ago when they still controlled severall towns in the Yarmouk Basin region.

On Monday’s “PBS NewsHour,” National Security Adviser John Bolton stated that North Korea has not “taken effective steps” to denuclearize.

Bolton said, “[W]hat was significant about Singapore was the North Korean commitment to denuclearize, and they have not taken effective steps to do that. Let’s just take the decision to close the entrances, as you correctly say, to the Punggye-ri nuclear test site. That was done before the agreement. There were no international observers present really to inspect what was done. There were some, you’ll forgive me, representatives of the media who were kept at a distance and not shown anything, except the bright explosion. And I think the view in South Korea and elsewhere is that that test site is not necessarily disabled.”

Working Class Americans: ‘Isolating’ to be the Only English Speaker on the Job

[…]

After a work meeting, conducted primarily in Spanish, Heaven took a smoke break while all the other foreign workers went on a lunch break. She met her boyfriend, Venson, outside so the two would have each other to speak to.

“They don’t give a rat’s ass about people with white skin,” Venson told her about the work meeting, as described by the Washington Post.

Meanwhile, the Humans of New York Instagram account recently interviewed an American drywall finisher who says he has not worked with a fellow American in three years. The worker called his blue collar job “isolating,” noting that he is the first one to be cut from jobs as he is outnumbered by non-English speakers and immigrants from Central and South America.

“I haven’t worked with an American for three years. I’m a union drywall finisher, and my job has completely been taken over by Central and South Americans,” the worker said. “All of them have union cards now. Can you imagine being the only one on your crew who doesn’t speak Spanish? There’s nobody to talk to. You have no clue what people are saying. It’s isolating.” The worker continued:

And all of them stick together too. My last three foremen were from El Salvador, Paraguay, and Peru. And whenever work dries up, I’m the first one trimmed from the crew. Always. No matter how hard I work. I used to get angry about it. It felt like I’d been sold out by the mayor and the union bosses. I even started having racist thoughts. But that’s not me, man. I know they aren’t bad people. They’re just sticking together like any of us would. How can you blame them? My parents were immigrants. I grew up in New York. I’ve got friends from all over the world. So I’m not going to start thinking like that. I’m not going there. That’s not who I am.

The Politically Correct Western Media Keeps Covering Up Violent Attacks by Extremists

All over the world, specifically motivated arson attacks, shootings, knifings, and gang violence eruptions are occurring. But mainstream media outlets in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the US are reluctant to report the stories without a pro-immigration bias, quietly glossing over the common thread in the attacks. Extremists with ties to Northern Africa seem to be waging a war, but you won’t hear this from the media or the respective governments.

Before someone starts calling me a racist, please understand that in my following report, I am certainly not trying to paint every person who has migrated with the same brush. I’m talking about extremists, and as I’ve written many times, extremists are usually the ones who get all the press. The other thing that is rarely reported on is the families who relocate to another country and embrace the new way of life, becoming valuable members of society. It seems to me that if there weren’t a large number of these people who quietly integrate, we’d be hearing about it.

This is a different story, however. It’s a story about how numerous attacks that have happened in just the past few weeks are being glossed over by the media and the governments of the countries where they happened.

Havoc was unleashed in Toronto’s Greektown neighborhood on July 23rd when a gunman opened fire on diners in restaurants and cafes, killing two people and injuring thirteen more. The victims were 18-year-old and 10-year-old girls.

16 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/15/2018

  1. It is very difficult for me to find news about the crime of people from Central Asia for my blog. For some time now they have ceased to indicate their country of origin and began to write “migrant” or “illegal migrant”. Now even the “migrant” has stopped writing. Now in the criminal reports write “a visitor from the near abroad,” and if he already managed to obtain citizenship, they write “a resident of the city …”

    The media apparently decided to develop my intellect by offering puzzles and riddles.

    • Go talk to the generation of your parents and grandparents Elena who lived thru the USSR years. They became masters at reading between the lines.
      Learn from the best.

      • I remember the Soviet press of the 80s. She was terribly boring and there was nothing written between the lines. The information field was cleaned to zero.
        Elites were preparing the country for defeat, but nothing was written about it.

  2. “London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said cars should be banned from parts of London in response to terror attacks, after previously claiming the city was one of the safest in the world.”

    The mayor also earlier said terror attacks were “part of living in a modern city”. He needs to make up his mind.

    • As Londoner Joshua Winston recently commented on Jihad Watch, this city had so many spaces open to vehicular attack: Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street… put ugly bollards up in these and similar sites and (perhaps) watch the tourists desert us in droves. I’m amazed so many still frequent the bridges over the Thames.

      Actually the barriers in Parliament square did their job; no MPs (or, more fortunately, police officers) were hurt. My hero is the cyclist who ran after the perpetrator’s car!

    • He seems to be getting a life sentence I read. Are they sending him to the Black Dolfin prison?

      • https://www.mk.ru/incident/2018/08/16/v-peterburge-iz-bolnicy-pokhitili-iznasilovannuyu-migrantami-devushku.html

        In Russia, a lot of interesting news recently.

        In St. Petersburg on August 4, four Uzbek migrants raped an Uzbek girl and threw her out of the hotel window. Later the victim was kidnapped from the hospital.

        It was established that on the afternoon of August 7 a Tajik citizen and two Uzbek women, one of whom is a relative of the rape case, entered the hospital where the victim was being treated. They forced her to sign papers on the statement, taken away on a gurney to the street, loaded into a car and taken to the apartment to exert pressure.

  3. So would a Dutch citizen making similar comments about Trump (e.g.. comparing him to Hitler, etc.) receive similar treatment?

  4. Vehicular Jihad attacks in London on those who are sat (sprawled) in Westminster and who are directly responsible for the societal upheaval being witnessed sound like just and fair retribution to me!
    For them … bring it on.

    What about protection for Joe Bloggs going about his day-to-day business and actually making a contribution to GDP??!!!

    Discouragingly … it’s still ‘lions lead by donkeys’.

  5. You don’t realize all of the things you forget. Does anyone remember this story about Tom Delay (2015) saying he saw a secret DOJ memo on legalizing 12 perversions like pedo stuff and beastiality? What ever happened to this story? This story seems more significant in light of the more recent news.

    https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/tom-delay-justice-department-perversions/2015/06/30/id/652929/

  6. Before Islam: cars safe.
    After Islam: cars dangerous.
    This is how the Islamic representative argues. No logic. Just hate speech and Carophobia.

    • A paradox, claimed refugee status because he was
      Endangered in the Sudan, gains UK citizenship then
      Immediately drives to London to obtain a visa to
      Travel, wait for it, to the Sudan?

      Am I the only one missing something here?
