Italy finally has a new government: a coalition between the 5-Star Movement and the Lega Nord known as the “Government of Change”. The law professor Giuseppe Conte will serve as prime minister, Matteo Salvini of the Lega Nord is interior minister and deputy prime minister, and Luigi Di Maio of the 5-Star Movement is minister of economic development and deputy prime minister. Paolo Savona, whose appointment as economy minister derailed the first version of the government, has been replaced by Giovanni Tria in that position, but will still serve in the cabinet as minister of European affairs.

Newly-minted Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said that one of the new government’s first actions will be to send home a half a million migrants.

In other news, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy (a Christian Democrat) has resigned after a no-confidence vote, and Pedro Sanchez (a Socialist) has taken his place.

The populist coalition between the 5-Star Movement and the Lega Nord in Italy has agreed to another attempt at forming a government. The proposed cabinet will be almost the same as the first one, except that Paolo Savona will not be economy minister — which is what prompted a presidential veto the first time — but will serve as minister for European affairs.

In other news, a Syrian man in the Dutch city of Schiedam brandished an axe and shouted “Allahu Akhbar” from his apartment balcony. The confused and mentally disturbed unfortunate attacked police when they entered his apartment. Police shot him after he stabbed a police dog to death. The alleged attacker is recovering in the hospital. The incident had nothing to do with Islam.

All Muslims LOVE Gay Sex!

Posted on by

Earlier this spring a group of socialists pulled a stunt where they went onto the streets and claimed Jesus was a homosexual, presumably with the intention of inciting Christians. It goes without saying that none of them would dare or even consider doing such a thing to Muslims.

Rasmus Paludan, a Danish lawyer and activist, decided to do just that recently in Copenhagen.

Interview With the Hostage Taken by the Mujahid of Liège

Posted on by

On Tuesday May 29 a convert to Islam named Benjamin Herman attacked two policewomen in the Belgian city of Liège, stabbing them from behind as they were monitoring parking meters. After they were incapacitated he took their guns and shot both of them dead, reportedly yelling “Allahu Akhbar!” during his attack. As a matter of interest, one of the murdered policewomen was named Soraya Belkacemi, which is a Turkish name, if I’m not mistaken.

Mr. Herman then killed a passerby in an attempted carjacking. After failing to make his escape by car, he ran into a nearby school and took a cleaning woman hostage. When he found out she was an observant Muslim, he spared her life. He eventually emerged from the building and was shot to death by police.

The perpetrator had been “known to police” for robbery, drug dealing, etc. He had been in prison, but was out on a one-day release when he committed the murders. The Belgian government has acknowledged that they are investigating the incident as a terrorist act.

The following video features part of an interview with the cleaning woman who was taken hostage by Benjamin Herman. Many thanks to Ava Lon for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Below are excerpts from an article about the attack published by The Telegraph:

Belgium Shooting: ‘Radicalised’ Prisoner on Day Release Kills Two Female Police Officers in Liege

A suspected terrorist on day release from prison executed two female police officers with their own guns and shot dead a trainee teacher before he was killed in a shootout after taking two women hostage at a school in the centre of the Belgian city of Liege.

The bloody rampage on Tuesday morning, which left another four officers wounded, was captured on videos on social media, which showed the black clad man waving a pistol in each hand and shouting “Allahu Akbar” before he was gunned down by elite officers. Belgium’s federal prosecutors office has opened an terror investigation into the attack.

The “lone wolf” attacker, 36, was named locally as Benjamin Herman, who was well-known to police for a string of crimes including robbery, assault and drug-dealing and was from Rochefort, a city about an hour from Liege.

One officer was named in local media reports as Soraya Belkacemi, 45, a widowed mother of twins, who are now orphaned. The other was Lucile Garcia, 53, who was described by fellow officers as a “fantastic colleague” who had married her partner a month ago.

Herman was granted temporary release from prison on Monday night until Tuesday, despite a prison service assessment that judged him “ultra-violent” and that he was on a terror watchlist over suspicions he had become radicalised in 2017.

Such “family leave” is meant to help prisoners prepare for their eventual release, which would have been in 2020 in Herman’s case after he had served the sentence he began in 2013. He had been released for two days on 13 previous occasions.

Belgium’s federal prosecutors office has opened an terror investigation into the murders, which come after the country was accused of being a hotbed of extremism after the 2015 Paris attacks, which killed 130 people. and suicide bombings in Brussels in 2016 in which 32 died.

Here’s another article on the Liège attack from The Daily Mirror. And there’s a Wikipedia entry on it.

George Soros Wants the EU to Borrow Money to Pay for Unrestricted Migration into Europe

Posted on by

Update: The full text of Mr. Soros’ remarks is now available with no paywall restrictions. I’ve included the text as an addendum at the bottom of this post.

An alert reader emailed us with the latest from the prominent “American” “philanthropist” George Soros:

George Soros has published a new article. It is paywalled, but the Hungarian version is not.

In the article he recommends a Marshall plan for Africa, and he seems to recommend acquiring the money for it by putting the EU into debt.

He also says, among other interesting things (and whining against Orbán):

“My opinion has always been that refugees must be distributed strictly on a voluntary basis. Member states must not be forced to take them in, nor must refugees be directed to countries where they don’t want to go.” (my translation)

This is the diametrical opposite of what he proposed just thee years ago, when he said, among other things:

“First, the EU has to accept at least a million asylum-seekers annually for the foreseeable future. And, to do that, it must share the burden fairly — a principle that a qualified majority finally established at last Wednesday’s summit.”

Our Hungarian translator CrossWare declined to translate the source document linked above — she said she didn’t want to help Mr. Soros spread his [expletive redacted]. Instead she volunteered to translate this report from the news portal 888.hu:

The “philanthropist” Soros would have Europe take out a loan for the reception of migrants

George Soros has had another perverted collection of ideas. According to him, he has now come up with the latest idea for money-laundering, because he is afraid of the European Parliament’s defeat of the immigration forces he supports, by the patriotic forces in agreement with Viktor Orbán. That is why, before it is done, the US billionaire wants to pull tens of billions of dollars from EU pockets to move migrants in bulk to Europe.

The American billionaire, who only communicates with the world through open letters, speaking declaratively of the EU’s migration plans which now being threatened with failure, reappeared with one of its favorite cannons: the EU should take out loans for the supply and reception of migrants. Soros would resolve the migration crisis by allowing more migrants, moreover, at the expense of EU taxpayers.

“How to Save Europe?” — this is the ringing title of the billionaire’s opinion piece, where he slipped his demand for money into a glaze of honeyed drool.

Surprisingly, Soros also explains why he came up with his latest plan. The great financial conspirator is very afraid of the victory of the anti-immigration forces of European nation-states, as represented by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, at the next European Parliament election. Therefore, if he could, he would do a little business on the migrants with the EU until then.

“In Hungary, Viktor Orbán based his campaign on falsely accusing me of flooding Europe and Hungary with Muslim refugees. Orbán is now defending his own Christian vision of Europe. This vision is in contrast with the EU principles,” writes the probably desperate Soros, who is the self-proclaimed defender of the EU’s non-established principles.

The financial construction advertised by Soros, “giving Marshall aid to Africa”, is essentially about making financial resources available to Soros in the amount of 30 billion euros annually from the European Union, to support the import of African migrants (he calls them “refugees”) into Europe.

Lysenkoism, Tommy and the Impact of Political Religion

Posted on by

Our Israeli correspondent MC has a few thoughts about the degradation of Western political culture, especially as it applies to recent events in the UK.

Lysenkoism, Tommy and the Impact of Political Religion

by MC

Lysenkoism is the politicisation of science as practised under Stalin (and others). It consisted of using pseudo-science to conform with, and confirm, political will. It is a tool of totalitarian politics where ‘scientific’ truth must be subjected to political convenience.

We now see around us a new breed of Lysenkoism where ‘truth’ is made a servant of political religion. For the sake of this essay I will call this phenomenon TheresaMayism, in honour of the current status of British Justice now as a “farce and a sham” as predicted in the hilarious film farce Water starring Michael Caine.

The British form of the socialist religion requires that all we really need is lurve, that ‘justice’ must be reshaped to accommodate political religion, and that therefore Tommy must die (we do so hope not). The judge basically washed his hands of the matter in true Pontius Pilot fashion.

But TheresaMayism is not just a function of Downing Street. It is a major part of Brussels theology as well, and we even find it sprouting profusely in the US Democrat dirt.

As readers must be aware, we, the citizens of Sderot are being cruel to the poor people of Gaza who want to “eat the livers of those besieging” (he is talking about us Sderotians).

The object of the Hamas attack on the border fence just down the road is to get infiltrators into Israel and to kill us. But also to provoke a TheresaMayist response from the rest of the world by hiding the murderous intent behind a false flag of ‘peaceful demonstration’ by women and children.

Last night they machine-gunned us, Yes, they turned a .50 cal in the direction of Sderot and sprayed us with heavy MG bullets, I heard two of them strike as I sat here at my desk reading. Today we have had multiple rocket and mortar attacks.

The religion of socialism behind TheresaMayism hates Jews. To them we are ‘white’ unlike our Palestinian counterparts who are ‘brown’. TheresaMayists know their white from their wrong because everything is black and white as defined by their (political) religious affiliation. Labour is no better; they support Hamas, whilst pretending not to, and so the joooz are whitewashed and Hamas is honoured.

So who killed the Pallies? Israeli snipers, to be sure.

Who sent them to be killed?

Well, TheresaMayism dictates that we must obfuscate that question and tell Israel to use ‘restraint’ instead.

So what happens if Israel uses restraint? Will the Kibbutz of Nahal Oz be attacked and the civilian population massacred? To TheresaMayism that is obviously an acceptable theological consequence; after all, only ‘brown’ lives matter.

Catch-and-Release for a Culture-Enriching Berserker at an Italian Post Office

Posted on by

An anonymous volunteer translated most of this article. Many thanks to FouseSquawk for filling in the gaps:

Frosinone: Migrant furious at the Post Office throws carabiniere on the ground. Migrant then tried and released

The 20-year-old Nigerian was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and, as required by the law, set free. He is an asylum seeker and can not be expelled. Salvini: “Soon the matters will change”

A migrant was arrested, tried and immediately freed. Yesterday morning in Frosinone, after sowing the panic at the post office, he hit one of the responding policemen, knocking him to the ground and making him lose consciousness. All within twenty-four hours.

Godsent Harmony, a 20-year-old Nigerian asylum seeker, initially a guest in a center in Piedimonte San Germano and later settled in Frosinone, went to the post office yesterday in Via Fosse Ardeatine, to withdraw money with his Postepay. His bank account was empty, however, and at that point the young man, who seems to have a gambling habit, lashed out at the postmaster, kicked the office window, and terrified the clients.

The intervention of the Carabinieri was requested and a nearby patrol responded. However, the twenty-year-old attacked one of the policemen [with an iron bar] and knocked him to the ground. Michele De Filippo, the policeman who was knocked down, was diagnosed as unfit for work for 25 days, and the migrant escaped on foot.

In Piazza Gramsci, after he tried to get away, clearing his way with an iron bar, he was finally stopped by other Carabinieri who arrested him on charges of resistance, violence and injuring a public official. This morning he was tried and sentenced by the Court of Frosinone to two and a half years in prison and, as foreseen by the law, released. As an asylum seeker, Harmony can not be expelled.

The photo of the carabiniere on the ground become viral and the Lega Nord, through social networks, promises punishment. The secretary of the Lega, Matteo Salvini, wrote on Facebook: “Having problems with the ATM yesterday in Frosinone, Godsent Harmony, a twenty-year-old Nigerian, thought he could attack the employees of the post office and to sent a Carabiniere to the hospital, even trying to hit him with an iron bar. Sent to court this morning, he was condemned but immediately released, and cannot be expelled because he is an “asylum seeker”. Crazy stuff. But the things will soon change!”

Italy just got rolled by its President, who overturned a vote by seventy percent of its citizens who wanted a center-right government. The prez wants a Brussels boy. So now there are now calls for his impeachment: don’t mess with an Italian.

Turley links this with Orban, the huge pushback against Tommy Robinson’s imprisonment, etc.

As he says, they’re all part of a paradigm shift…from his mouth to God’s ears.

Dear Readers, please note your opinion. Since Trump started this snowball down the mountain, do you think it will continue? Has the paradigm really shifted?
