Send Warships!

The EU is not powerless against the people smugglers in Libya. It could take action that would be both tough and clever. What is lacking, in truth, is resolve.

Commentary by Ulrich Ladurner
July 18, 2017

The EU likes to claim that it is a gentle world power. Not a hard one, but a gentle one. Where others are waging wars, the EU talks, until the parties have succumbed to exhaustion. What is actually concealed behind the image of the gentle world power EU, is for the most part cluelessness and helplessness. This can be seen in the fact that Libyan human smugglers send immigrants into the Mediterranean by the thousands on inflatables. And what does the EU do?

It wants to prohibit the export of inflatables to Libya.

If it weren’t so tragic and shameful, it would be a belly laugh.

Does anyone really believe that the immigrant slavers will be impressed by an EU ban on exporting inflatables? Most of the inflatables made “for the refugees” come to Libya from China. Does the EU intend to sanction Beijing? We can just imagine the powers-that-be in China and Russia slapping each other on the back in amusement.

The truth is simple. The EU has allowed itself to be extorted by Libyan smugglers for years. The smugglers are prepared to let thousands drown in the ocean, and because the EU cannot be seen to allow that to happen, these criminals do a splendid business.

In point of fact, the EU is tolerating the world’s greatest market in human beings to proceed on its doorstep. That is insufferable. And it threatens the existence of the EU. If the stream of immigrants from Libya does not diminish, the battle over apportionment will tear the EU apart. Therefore, the battle against the human traffickers is of existential significance for the EU.

It is high time for the EU to be reminded that it was two EU countries — France and Great Britain — that pressed for intervention in Libya. Italy and the USA went along reluctantly,[1] and Germany stayed out of it, thanks to then-Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.

This is not about retrospectively knowing-it-all. It is about determining the facts. At the time, the intervening powers had the very best contacts to the Libyan opposition. The flow of information was excellent, cooperation smooth. Only because of that could they ultimately overthrow Khaddafi. In other words, the European military and intelligence services know every warlord who holds power in Libya. And it may be assumed that the people who rebelled against Khaddafi, as well as those who fought for him are in the business of human trafficking — at least a large portion of them.

European governments also know very well to whom they should speak. They know names and addresses. They know to whom pressure must be applied. But the governments don’t want to do it, because they fear the consequences.

Libya is political quicksand. Every step must be carefully considered. But just proceeding as usual is unthinkable. So the EU must act.

What does that mean?

Lawful or Unlawful? Ask the Imam at the Fatwa Kiosk

Posted on by

The Egyptian government is funding a series of “fatwa” kiosks that are being installed in the subway system in Cairo. The intention is to allow citizens to ask questions of Islamic scholars about the provisions of sharia on topics that concern them. (See this article for more information on the kiosks.)

The ostensible intention of the initiative is to enhance public understanding of Islamic law and thereby short-circuit the process of “radicalization”. Dr. Ashraf Ramelah sees it differently, however: the kiosks will help codify and consolidate the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egyptian society, and may serve to entrench theocracy.

I wonder if the imams in the kiosks will give the same answers to the questions we discussed here the other day?

Egypt uses “fatwa” kiosks to combat terrorism or spread fundamentalism?

by Ashraf Ramelah

For the past two weeks in Cairo, a resistance movement has been gaining momentum against a recent initiative by Al-Azhar Institute to insert newly constructed taxpayer-funded “fatwa” (edict) kiosks into every subway stop in the city. The trial began in one of the busiest subway stations — overcrowded and overwhelmed with chaos — where The Islamic Research Center under the auspices of Al-Azhar Sunni Institute placed its first kiosk. Acting outside the law that requires permits to construct and install kiosks, the Center plans to install in each underground subway entrance and exit platform a 50-square-foot glass and wood cube in which three imams sit and wait for clients to walk inside seeking answers (“fatwas”) to their personal religious questions.

Bloggers wish instead for public bathrooms and more book venders. Mockers on social media say that it’s a jobs program for unemployed Imams. One protester joked and wondered if the kiosk would deliver “fresh or frozen fatwas.” But the official explanation given by the spokesman for the Egyptian Metro Company (a public entity) is that this initiative is “to combat ‘alleged terrorism’.” It is to be an initial experiment as part of the protocol signed between the taxpayer-funded Center and the public Metro Company that would include eleven hours of coverage by the “fatwa” committee in two work shifts per day.

Accomplishing the ambitious goal of curbing terrorism with kiosks would require their proliferation and widespread use beyond the Cairo platforms, a potential explosion no one is talking about. No doubt kiosks will sprout up at every park, hotel, beach, and amusement area. But for now Alexandria has the only other subway system in the country to duplicate the program, and because of this much of the country’s territory would be left uncovered by the plan. Yet an even greater obstacle than this will obstruct the kiosk’s stated purpose: When a jihadist prepares to commit an act of violence, he has consulted the Quran directly, which contains the verses to confirm his impending action. This obviates any need for him to visit an Imam.

So what could be the real reasoning behind setting up fatwa kiosks across the city? Copts are well aware that issued edicts often alienate them from Muslims. For instance, one edict forbids Muslims to greet Copts during Christian holidays. Another edict demands that a Muslim not return a simple greeting at any time from a Copt. Yet another forbids Muslims to say hello first to a Christian in passing. The list goes on with hundreds more edicts offending Christians and denying them the basic civilities of society.

Open criticism of the program comes mostly from Muslims objecting to the spread of Islamic fundamentalism. In reaction to them, a government spokesperson said the kiosks would be temporarily placed and uninstalled by the end of the Feast of Sacrifice (less than one month). But Egyptians fear the implants are there to stay. Most believe Al-Sisi is associated with the program in spite of the fact that he has confronted Al-Azhar about renewing Islamic religious discourse in view of reform.

The Islamic kiosk program is the opposite of reform. Even though the secretary general of the Center says the protocol aims to “confront the misguided fatwas coming from extreme currents”, there will be much more damage to civil law offsetting any potential good. “Fatwas” overrule the laws of the state. Furthermore, confronting “misguided fatwas” is a fallacy, since every “fatwa” remains concurrent.

Hannover: Moroccan Rapist Let Off Lightly — He Had PTSD

Posted on by

We reported last week on the Moroccan rapist Mr. Black Rectangle, or as the newspapers referred to him, “Naji N.”. He was recently put on trial for raping a pregnant woman multiple times in the German city of Hannover, and his principal defense seemed to be that he was too drunk and stoned at the time to know what he was doing.

Below is an update by Egri Nök on the case. It describes the conclusion of the trial, and the verdict. This report was originally published at Vlad Tepes in a slightly different form:

“He could not find stability in Germany”

We reported on this case last week; here are an update and the verdict.

1. The Victim Was Heavily Pregnant — Rapist Whines in Front of Court

From the German daily newspaper Bild:

by Mirko Voltmer
July 17, 2017

Linden — He battered and raped a heavily pregnant woman (22), cynically caressed her pregnant belly, whispered “I love you” to his bleeding victim. Naji N. (27), the offender of the Ihme Center.

In the final sprint of the trial in front of the District Court, the asylum seeker from Morocco who has several fake identities pulls on the heartstrings!

He had been held captive by ISIS terrorists in Libya, says the North African, who allegedly suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

In the final appeal, he steps up the game, alleges: “I was sexually abused, too”.

Before that, he stated that he had been a heavy drinker and stoner. For that reason, he allegedly did not remember the rape.

DNA traces convicted him as the perpetrator. The prosecutor demanded more than ten years in prison for the defendant for the particularly serious rape (range of sentences: 5-15 years).

The mild sentence: seven years in prison. The judge: “He had had a difficult development, was unable to find stability. But Naji N. accepts his responsibility.”

19 months of probation for battery were taken into account for the sentence. The Moroccan had beaten another woman black and blue…

2. From the German conservative news portal Freie Zeiten:

Brutish Rape of Heavily Pregnant Woman (22): Mild Penalty for Naji N.

Germany. Naji N. (27) from Morocco will only have to serve seven years prison time, after he had been raping and torturing a heavily pregnant 22-year-old from Hannover for hours. “He did not find stability in Germany”, the judge explains the mild sentence.

In the summer of 2015, the soon-to-be mother of twins was on her way home around 3.20, when the Moroccan, who was already notorious with the police, hit her on the head from behind.

Bradley Johnson: A Retired CIA Station Chief Discusses Islam and the Information War

Posted on by

Bradley Johnson is a retired Career Senior Operations Officer and Chief of Station with the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations. He currently serves as the editor-in-chief of The Institute for Security through Intelligence. He is an expert on Counterintelligence issues, and has extensive direct experience serving in operations abroad.

In the following two interviews with Vlad Tepes, Mr. Johnson discusses the current degraded state of American intelligence capabilities as they pertain to the Great Jihad. Our ability to identify, describe, and understand the nature of Islam and the Islamic threat was already hobbled under the politically correct ground rules laid down by President Bush, but it was almost totally incapacitated during the Obama administration. Mr. Johnson discusses the legacy left by Barack Hussein Obama, and the nature of the information war that is currently being waged against us by Islam — which it is so far winning handily.

Many thanks to Vlad for recording, editing, and uploading these videos.

Bombs Away!

Posted on by

I know that what I’m about to say will confirm my status as an incorrigible and superannuated curmudgeon.

I know that the story below is intended to be inspirational and uplifting in the wake of Monday’s jihad terror attack in Manchester.

I know that the British people need to feel that their political leaders and their military are doing something meaningful in response to the “senseless evil” perpetrated by Salman Ramadan Abedi.

But this does not help.

The enemy is not over there in the “sandbox”. The enemy is in Manchester and Birmingham and London and Glasgow. The enemy is in Amsterdam and Oslo and Malmö and Berlin and Munich and Vienna and Toronto and Montreal and Sydney and Melbourne and Brooklyn and Dearborn and Minneapolis.

The enemy is among us, and there are millions of him, if you count the active wannabe shahids plus those who support, maintain, and provide cover for all those “youths”.

This gesture feels good, but it’s essentially meaningless. At best it’s a diversion from the awful truth. It’s one more way of NOT looking the problem squarely in the face.

The story is meant to evoke the pride and solidarity of the war fought from 1939 to 1945 by the Greatest Generation. But Coventry wasn’t full of Nazis when the Luftwaffe bombed it. And the Blitz was not carried out by German suicide bombers who blew themselves up at public events in London.

We could pave the entire Middle East over from sea to shining sea and not change the course of events in Manchester or Luton or New York. The RAF and the USAF could bomb Syria and Iraq for twenty years, and during that time the super-fecund Muslims in our midst would have more than doubled their numbers — even if none of their coreligionists manage to escape their native hellholes, cross our non-existent borders, and settle here as “refugees”.

This story is a distraction from the horrible reality of what we face.

Here’s the report from The Daily Mail:

The Syrian “Rebels” and the Deep State

Posted on by

Back in February Tanya T. translated an investigative report from Bulgarian TV on the Syrian “rebels” — the so-called “moderate” opposition to the Assad regime who are otherwise indistinguishable from Al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and other jihad groups that ravage that part of the Middle East. The documentary included details about the support provided for these jihad groups by the United States, presumably via the CIA — including supplying them with TOW missiles.

As is our standard procedure, I edited the translated transcript to make a subtitle file for Vlad Tepes, and he subtitled an excerpt from the video. As soon as he posted it to YouTube, however, it was taken down. When he uploaded it to other platforms, it was removed instantly from those, too, with no reason given. This was very different from the treatment meted out to any other video we had done, and it was clear that somebody, somewhere was determined that this report should not see the light of day in English. Vlad and I were simply unable to post the video.

At long last, three months later, the video has finally been hosted behind a protective screen that its enemies are unable to breach. We are grateful to Free Speech Defense for hosting this report.

In its current format, the video cannot be embedded. However, if you follow the link, you can watch it, and a transcript is below.

Here’s the account of the report as posted by Free Speech Defense:

I am not sure of the sources used, I understand it’s from a Bulgarian TV station, but after it was translated and captioned, then uploaded to YouTube, it was “pulled” with an unusual copyright abuse claim, but no “strike” which normally comes with a video being pulled for that reason, tried uploading again to another channel, same thing happened, nearly instantly.

Then tried sharing again on Minds.com, Liveleak and Vid.me, who are far less censored, again, pulled, but no reason given. Very odd.

This TV station has not complained before about sharing their content, I guess I might find out what’s bothering whoever about this 20 Minute documentary that deserves such censorship attention.

No War For Me, Thanks — Let the Americans Do It!

Posted on by

The following video from WEare138 Productions shows an American soldier interviewing several migrants outside an asylum center in Denmark. The three men — from Iraq and Syria — left their families behind to seek asylum in Denmark. The soldier asks them whether they would be willing to return to their homelands to fight alongside the Americans against the Islamic State.

Not only are these men categorically unwilling to fight for their countries, they appear baffled by the question itself. Presumably waging jihad for the sake of Allah and being martyred make sense to them, and they probably understand the motive of a mercenary who goes to war for money. But fighting for patriotic reasons seems to be an alien concept — defending their freedom or their homeland is simply inconceivable. Let the Americans do it!

The Not-So-White Helmets of Aleppo

Posted on by

During last year’s intensive media coverage of the war in Syria, a humanitarian group known as the White Helmets was featured prominently in reports. Based in Aleppo, they became famous for rescuing people and providing medical aid for victims of attacks by the Russians or the Assad regime.

The White Helmets were the subject of a documentary, and merited a lengthy report in Time Magazine:

The White Helmets work across the shattered interior of Syria, wherever Assad’s aircraft roll out barrel bombs or Russian fighters direct their missiles. But more and more, that work is in Aleppo. The country’s largest city, it is where the forces of Assad and his allies are ramping up for a possibly titanic assault. As many as 300,000 people are living under siege in the city’s eastern section, which the rebels have held since the early days of the war, but are now cut off from the countryside beyond.

Given the notorious actions of the Red Crescent and other Islamic charities in the Gaza Strip in recent decades, one would expect a modicum of skepticism on the part of the news media. But no; all the reportage was packed with glowing accolades, as if it were lifted verbatim from the organization’s own press releases. And according to the venerable hoaxbusting site Snopes — which would have pounced aggressively on the White Helmets had they been known to have connections with the Assad regime — there’s nothing to see here folks, time to move along:

Whatever their motives may be, we found no credible evidence that the White Helmets are linked to terrorist organizations. The accusations seem to be levied at the group based on political motivations, not evidence.

But now that the “rebels” have been pushed out of Aleppo, actual evidence has emerged concerning the affiliations of the White Helmets.

Pierre Le Corf is the founder of the charity We Are Superheroes, which is helping to rebuild Syria. He investigated the abandoned wreckage of the White Helmets’ headquarters and discovered that it was all but coterminous with the headquarters of the terrorist group Jabhat al-Nusra. Jihad flags for al-Nusra and the Islamic State featured prominently in its offices and workrooms. Both facilities were directly adjacent to a badly damaged hospital — which had been used as a gun emplacement by the jihad groups when they fought against the advance of Assad’s forces.

The two videos below were recorded by Pierre Le Corf. In them he gives the viewer a brief guided tour of the ruins and takes note of what he found there.

Many thanks to Ava Lon for translating video #1, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Video #2: (already subtitled):

Pierre Le Corf’s Facebook page

From the notes accompanying the second video (also translated by Ava Lon):

Some photos I took yesterday [March 10, 2017] that will give you another perspective on white helmets and different lies from the media and governments. Truths about the war in Syria, in Aleppo. Hospitals totally destroyed and neutral helmets, heroes in Aleppo? An Oscar? A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize? At what price will we continue to LIE and kill, to justify this war, to support terrorist groups, to keep a country on the brink of suffocation like the others before? I’ve quickly compiled some pictures that I took yesterday that will give you another perspective.

As a French citizen, I refuse to support a criminal policy. In order to illustrate a little better what I talk about in my letter to the President of the Republic, while clouds of the dust of war arriving from Iraq make the air almost unbreathable, in less than two hours I return — via images — to two hospitals in decent condition; I have to walk on tons of medicines reserved for terrorist groups and forbidden to civilians. I cross the remains of the buildings enslaved by Al-Jaish al-Hur (Free Syrian Army), Jabhat al-Nusra (or Fatah al-Sham, al-Qaeda) … buildings of the White Helmets who, as the inhabitants reminded me, mainly helped terrorists. Concerning civilians… when the camera was turned on, and sometimes only then, they sometimes carried arms, executed Syrian soldiers, participated in executions ordered by the Islamic courts, robbed the victims, etc. But a crucial point: almost all the members were affiliated with the terrorist groups mentioned above.

Watch the testimony in the video on the White Helmets by my friend Vanessa Beeley — we were together during some of these accounts when she accompanied me to distribute toys at the liberation. Another interesting video compiling many images that were never shown to you. My testimony is sad; there are probably some exceptions, probably some of the White Helmets were civilians with good intentions, who were under the bombs dropped from the planes (not free, it’s a war, but in response to jihadist gunfire from civilian areas fired on the only civilian areas of the west and massacring a population that accounted for 90% of Aleppo while the media were silent), helped real people who were dying because of their proximity to armed groups, who used them as human shields (even shooting from hospitals …) is a reality, but the real majority were jihadists (proved by the documents found at the site); they were those who brought death on those who ended up under the rubble, and finally in their trucks, and in their videos; we must not forget the situations of cause and effect; it is nevertheless ironic and rather vicious.

The reality goes beyond fiction here, in this neighborhood, (all in schools that they have transformed, as you can see from the beginning) the headquarters of Al Nora, the Qatar Red Crescent, the M10 hospital and above all the headquarters of the helmets are rubbing shoulders here. The video is not well-mounted etc. but a picture is worth a thousand words and it is essential for you to understand the extent of the lies … how much we must ask to stop support for this war as well as sanctions against the Syrian people, as a stakeholder in terrorism. Again, although I share what can be called evidence, I still do not pretend to tell you what to think; form your own opinion.

“Leading Their Next Generations Defenseless to the Islamic Slaughterhouse”

Posted on by

The following open letter to Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen was originally posted on Facebook. JLH, who translated the text, describes it as “an impassioned — or anguished — cri du coeur from a genuine refugee, reacting to Van der Bellen’s nonsensical suggestion that Austrian women veil themselves in solidarity with Muslim women.”

Open Letter to Federal President Alexander Van Der Bellen

Dear Federal President Van Der Bellen,

As a new citizen of this country and as an oriental Christian who has personally experienced the brutality of Islam, your call for all Austrian females to wear a headscarf in solidarity with Muslim women has surprised and shaken me deeply. Your statement stuns me, revives horrifying experiences for me and propels me into nightmares from which I and my family and many refugee

Christians thought we had awakened, finding refuge and peace in this country. For we must now face the fact that Austria, Germany and Europe are now ruled solely by politicians who demonstrate a deficit in cognitive emotional capacities when it comes to their own people, and through Islamization of their countries are leading their next generations defenseless to the Islamic slaughterhouse.

Tell us then, what show of solidarity did you make with us Christians from Iraq and Syria when the Islamic preachers and imams in Mosul and Raqqa condemned us to death just because we were Christians? Oh yes, they read melodic, satanic suras out of the Koran from the minarets, which put the Allah-fearing Muslims in a trance and sent them at us like wild bloodthirsty beasts, wielding machetes, knives and swords. Shouting the Islamic war-cry — Allah-u Akbar — they slit men’s throats, enslaved women and children for sale at slave markets, and set fire to churches.

I heard or read not one expression of consolation or solidarity from you, as a high-ranking Green official, nor from any politician of the governing parties. Just the opposite — at exactly that time, you pronounced that Islam belongs in Austria and Europe. And again, after the many Islamic terrorist attacks in the Christian Orient, you and other European politicians gave the Muslims cover and took care that they suffered no disadvantages here at home from the horrors committed by their religious brethren.

With all due respect, you appear to know absolutely nothing about Islam, neither about its bloody history of expansion, nor the biography of its “Prophet” — his mass murders and atrocities. Devout Muslim women wear the headscarf as a symbol of political Islam, whose ideology in its full context includes the call for murdering Christians and Jews. Apparently you do not comprehend that believing Muslims will never integrate into a Christian or non-Islamic society, since we Christians — you too, Mr. President, as an atheist — are unclean animals, with whom they must avoid associating. We are the sinners (kafirs) who have no right to exist on “Allah’s earth” unless we accept Islam. Islam claims the right to global domination.

To believe in Islam means to put the Koran into action, which calls for participation in jihad. Allah and his “Prophet” call for the expulsion of infidels, the enslavement of their wives and children and the seizure of their lands. In many places in the Koran, Christians and Jews are derogated as lower than livestock. Muslims are given a feeling of superiority and described as “the best nation of the world” ever created by Allah. They are to be the only ones to enter Paradise, if they have fulfilled their duty in spreading Islam and carried out Allah’s commandments for the conversion or killing of all humanity. That is the real Islam that has been lived out in the Islamic world from its inception to the present day; in which the Prophet’s atrocities and mass murders are glorified by his followers all the way to ISIS, and justified as revenge on the enemies of Allah. These are the deeds of which the West knows nothing and wants to know nothing, because they do not fit into its humanistic philosophy.

The Gravedigger of the Left

Case study

Once upon a time there was a huge mining complex in the vicinity of Trepča, where gold, silver, zinc, lead and cadmium were extracted from about forty different mines. These mines gave jobs to the people who lived there. One of them, named Zvecan in Kosovo, had exceptionally rich quarries. Once upon a time the International Crisis Group (ICG), which was established in 1995, was a highly respected, expert, independent research and analysis Institute, created and operated to avoid wars and to build a more peaceful future. Sitting on its board of directors, George Soros — the great philanthropist and part-time humanist, who provides generous donations to ensure its operation — and his son determined that it would be of crucial importance for the future of Kosovo to boost mining production in Trepča. The exploitation of local natural resources would play a large role when Kosovo became independent. The independent ICG experts stated that very unfortunately local production was underfinanced, and the factories were badly managed and harmful to health and the environment. Oh, and the locals were exploited by Belgrade. “Trepča is the Berlin wall of Kosovo. For the longest time it has been the symbol of Serbian tyranny against the Albanians in Kosovo,” they argued professionally. Then war broke out in Kosovo.

A couple of months later the local leader of the occupying UN forces, Bernard Kouchner, who came from the Doctors Without Borders organization — also financed by Soros — was shocked to discover that working in the Trepča mines and factories in Zvecan was very harmful to health, especially for children and pregnant mothers. The UN forces therefore immediately expropriated the mines and processing plants. Then, in a generous gesture, every property in Kosovo. Only because of the coincidence of coincidences were Soros’ private investment companies then given the opportunity to invest $50 million in the area. Simultaneously, the US government has committed $100 million collateral as security for investments in the Balkans.

Soros was selected from among sixteen other candidates, presumably in an open and fair procurement process. So funding was provided in Zvecan, with the obvious aim that further mining not damage the employees’ health, especially that of pregnant mothers and children. All this took place in accordance with the requirements of an open society and the guidelines from independent experts, as elsewhere, all the time, where events meet with a happy ending. This story is quoted on the basis of an earlier article, because not so long ago and not so far from us in time, unsuspected by many of us, Soros and his network used similar methods everywhere, followed the same recipe, and kept the same goals in mind as they operated. When the deal is not lucrative enough, they move on and leave everything behind broken and used up. The mines and downstream plants in Kosovo were recently taken into public ownership, which the northern Kosovo Serbs refused to acknowledge.

The recipe

The recipe is simple. Find a worthwhile business goal. Send forth your civilians (NGOs), destabilize the area and organize an appropriate media tailwind. Go for chaos, and if you have it, you will be the one to organize the assistance for reconstruction, while cherry-picking the most profitable businesses. Break down the borders, so they do not obstruct your movement. Break down national sovereignty, so the interests of the locals and residents will not slow you down. Buy all the experts, with money, scholarships, awards, fame, recognition, hype — whatever the price of someone is. Call them experts; independent; democrat and progressive. Prevent anybody from uncovering their backing, hide their professional incompetence, just as we have seen it in the scandal about the second time they faked global warming data, as it was an obvious organized forgery. So buy the local media: TV, radio, daily and weekly newspapers and the Internet portals, rename them as independent too, and pay them to work towards some goals identified by you. Make them ballyhooed and reward them well. The media stuffed with money by Soros can be recognized from the way they follow the old Leninist tactic: they always use personal attacks. They never present the case, or the allegations; they never argue about the issues; they do not fatigue themselves or the audience with the refutation of ideas. They intimidate people, and if that’s not enough, destroy them; therefore their journalists and activists are specialists in character assassination.

The Soros-type so-called “civilian organizations” — which he keeps in the manner of gentry — are also the trustees of “independence” and “professionalism”. They refer to themselves and each other warmly “as an objective” organization. Enthusiastically and without complaint, they can sent into battle at any time, with any goal that is assigned to them by the Soros empire. Soros’ unprecedented power and influence derives from these all-encompassing auxiliary troops and cross-border networks. They are moved by him in an organized and coordinated way. Occasionally in line with US foreign policy interests, contrary to those interests some other times, often serving them, at other times in a temporary alliance with local leaders, but always in hope of a lavish profit. After all, he is a businessman, or more precisely a speculator who earns by destroying others while he piles up lavish profits.

The Soviet empire becomes the Soros empire

The big game that takes place in the background, the game played by the superpowers, regional and local power centers, often can’t be easily detected, but sooner or later the puzzle comes together. The bottom line is always the same: to take possession of new spheres of influence, or retain existing ones. Such was the case after the collapse of the Soviet empire, as it created a power vacuum. Now, looking back to the past, we can state that in our region, by the end of the 1990s, the change of spheres of influence took place relatively smoothly with a relatively low level of blood sacrifice.

First Comes the Media Manipulation, Then the Policy

Posted on by

The following article describes the careful planning and co-ordination that goes into the production of fake news by global media conglomerates for propaganda purposes.

Many thanks to JLH for translating this piece from the Austrian news site Info-Direkt:

First Comes the Media Manipulation, Then the Policy

The dead boy in the bright red T-shirt washed up on the shore. The blood-covered boy in the ambulance. The bodies in the truck. The father with a child in his arms, tripped by the camerawoman. Do you know these pictures? Do you all know about them? Did they arouse strong emotions in you? I wouldn’t be surprised. But would you be surprised to find that none of them, and the accompanying narratives, represent the truth? Would you feel lied to and deceived, if it could be shown that you were manipulated by them?

A commentary by Florian Machl

April 10, 2017

In the space of a few months, the established media have confronted us with apparently dramatic events, which lead to the inevitable conclusion that “something must be done.” All these episodes are aimed at emotional pressure points — sympathy, morality, helpfulness. There are always politicians in Western countries who will answer the alleged calls for “immediate action” from the people, not only with promises but by passing ad hoc legislation.

On critical examination, all these events prove to be fraudulent media scenarios. Of course, the establishment media have no real interest in an independent scrutiny of the facts. Instead, they discredit anyone with justified or well-reasoned doubts as purveyors of “fake news.”

In this process, effective pictorial motifs have always been a crucial medium of political propaganda. At the beginning of this type of campaign, which is premised on influencing the public, there is always a dramatic photo and a short, pregnant, intensely emotional story. Present-day media practice is a populist appeal to the tear glands, rather than a presentation of connections and researching of backgrounds.

A Truck Opens the Border

August, 2015. The refugee crisis was in full spate. The people of Europe wanted security and closing of the borders. Then a truck was found in Parndorf in Austria. In it were 71 bodies: 59 men, 8 women, 4 children. Dramatic pictures were leaked “by happenstance.” Every empathetic citizen was outraged. No one socialized in Christian society would wish anyone “fleeing from war” the fate of suffocating to death in a truck. In practical terms, the large West Balkan Conference was being held simultaneously in Vienna, in which the continuing open borders and uncontrolled mass immigration could be halted. As with all such campaigns, as I will show below, allegedly “spontaneous” movements form for demonstrations. Which are then prominently featured in the media. A closed circle.

The mass media had no interest in the inconsistencies in this case. On the quiet, from various sources, it was learned that the dead people were carrying sums of money in the five figures. No one explained why some of the dead were decomposed to the point of being unrecognizable, while others were still reasonably well preserved, even though they shared the same refrigeration compartment. How a body can so fully decompose inside of a day after death by suffocation remains a riddle. In Wikipedia — which is not necessarily politically independent — we can read that the cause of death is “still unknown.” Investigation has revealed that the Czech finance minister and the Bulgarian intelligence service are involved in the case.

Global Sympathy for a Dead Boy on the Shore

September, 2015. A small boy in a bright red T-shirt lies dead on the beach near the Turkish town of Bodrum. Purely by happenstance, the Turkish photojournalist and employee of a large Turkish news agency, Nilüfer Demir, was on her way along this same beach, and discovered the body. Contrary to the usual effect of the ocean, the child had been washed up at a 90 degree angle. Aside from contradictory media reports, nothing is known of a storm that could have caused the sinking of a boat. Later, it becomes known that the father of the child was himself the people smuggler on this boat trip. The purpose of the trip for him was to get his teeth straightened for free in Germany. There was no typical refugee motive. The family had lived in Turkey for a long time, with a secure income and under no threat. The father wore a life jacket, but his family did not.

A Syrian immigrant in Düsseldorf was recently discovered to have been a mass murderer back home. The former member of the Al-Nusra Front came to Germany seeking asylum — and was granted it.

Police arrest Syrian for 36-fold Murder

War Criminal hid in shelter for the homeless

Düsseldorf — Yesterday’s news jarred Düsseldorf: investigators arrested an alleged war criminal on Wednesday evening.

Abdalfatah H. A. (35) allegedly murdered 36 people in the war in Syria. Incredible — the terrorist and his family live in a shelter for the homeless in Düsseldorf inconspicuously!

The Federal Prosecutor accuses Abdalfatah H. A. of executing a so-called “Sharia Death Sentence” on 36 government workers. Together with a second man (arrested in Hesse) he allegedly belonged to the Al-Nusra Front terror militia.

According to Spiegel Online, the Syrian entered Germany as an asylum seeker. BILD learned that he was even granted asylum in Eastern Germany. From there, the man moved to Düsseldorf at his own request.

As he was not a refugee, but an accepted asylum seeker, he was rated as homeless and could only live in an appropriate shelter. He arrived at the institution near the main train station Düsseldorf in 2016. He was registered with a real passport and received unemployment benefits.

Wednesday evening, Abdalfatah H. A. was arrested not in his accommodation, but at a train platform in the main train station by plainclothes policemen. A SWAT team was alerted, but it is not clear if they intervened. Yesterday both Abdalfatah H. A. and the suspect from Hesse were presented to a committing magistrate at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe.

Disturbing: Both fought in Syria under the command of another terror suspect who was arrested last year for being involved in the planning of a terror attack on the old town of Düsseldorf.
