  1. Hunt for Asian man who picked three-year-old girl up from Morrisons and carried her away (express, Nov 4, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/728951/Asian-man-carry-girl-Morrisons-Blackburn

    “AN ASIAN man who picked up a child from a moving walkway at a Morrisons store and carried her away from her family is being hunted by police.

    The “distressing” incident happened at the supermarket’s branch on Railway Road in Blackburn at around 3pm on November 3.

    The three-year-old girl had been walking to the car park with her mother and five-year-old sister when she was picked by the man.

    The man, believed to be in his 30s, carried her a short distance before putting her down, with police saying his motives remain “unclear”.

    He is described as between 5ft 6in and 5ft 8in, with black hair which was short at the sides and thick on top, wearing blue jeans and a black and blue bomber jacket.

    Detective Inspector Tim McDermott, from Blackburn CID, said: “This incident has understandably been very distressing for the family involved.

    “The motive of the man remains unclear and so we need to speak to him urgently to understand what happened.

    “I am appealing directly to this man to contact us and for anyone who thinks they may know who he is to do likewise.

    “Also, if you were in the area around Morrisons at that time and saw anyone fitting the description of this man I would urge you to get in touch.”

    Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident reference 787 of November 3.

    Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk(.)org.”

  2. Birth rates of illegal immigrants in Spain set to soar due to health cuts (express, Nov 4, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/728996/Illegal-immigrants-birth-rate-Spain-set-to-soar-health-cuts

    “THE number of illegal immigrants giving birth in Spain is set to soar due to cuts in health care as they have been denied access to contraception or the possibility of terminating their pregnancies.

    A total of 13 organisations have condemned the move in the report ‘Deficiencies and Inequality in Sexual Health Services in Spain’.

    The various bodies, including Doctors of the World, have highlighted the gaps in sexual and reproductive care suffered, in particular, by immigrants.

    Beatriz Sagrado, from Doctors of the World, said in a press conference that women in difficult circumstances, such as women who had been trafficked, had suffered the most.

    The report indicated that there were limitations now in place over access to contraception due to a reduction in the funding. The report said that a quarter of women aged between 15 and 49 years old did not use any form of contraception in their first sexual relationship.”

    Immigrants particularly suffered in gaining access to abortions. According to the report, abortions were generally performed in private centres with doctors often unwilling to perform the procedure in a Catholic country.

    “There is a lot of reluctance to train professionals in this field. Many doctors do not want to point them in the direction of an abortion hospital,” said Guillermo Gonzalez of the Federation of Family Planning…”

      • Islam is so opposed to abortion that just weeks after the 9-11 atrocity, Bush 2.0 was dickering with Iran to orchestrate overwhelming UN support for curtailment of birth control options in its international women’s health programs.

        I know that many here are opposed to abortion, but does that opposition go so far as to include a willingness to get into bed with some of America’s worst enemies?

  3. ANOTHER MERKEL BLOW: German police blame crime increase on Chancellor’s migrant policy (express, Nov 4, 2016?
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/728986/Angela-Merkel-German-police-migrants-crime-increase

    “ANGELA Merkel’s open door immigration policy has been given yet another blow as police blame it for crime increasing by one third.

    The police believe that crime increasing by 31.6 per cent to 436,387 offences last year is because the Chancellor is allowing too many migrants live in the country.

    And German police President Dieter Romann reported he wants his country to have stricter rules for letting migrants live in.

    In the recently released report, Mr Romann said that there was a “migrant crisis” which increased the police’s workload.

    Theft offences increased by 11.9 per cent to 57,146 cases last year, the majority of them were committed in railway stations and on trains.

    The police also recorded an increase of 5.1 per cent in cases of pickpocketing.

    The number of offences related to residency and asylum law has boomed to 151.6 per cent to 171,477 cases last year.

    At the beginning of September, Mrs Merkel said she would allow migrants from Hungary to enter the country.

    The report has claimed that Syrians are the biggest migrant group who illegally enter the country with 73,920 cases last year.

    There are also high numbers of Afghans with 38,750 illegal entries, as well as Iraqis with 22,394 illegal entries.

    The report also states there has been a “deficit of implementation” in the cases of deportation of the rejected asylum seekers….”

  5. Anti-refugee rally: counter-protesters turn up in strength, butterflies and all (guardian, Nov 5, 2016)
    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/nov/05/anti-refugee-rally-counter-protesters-turn-up-in-strength-butterflies-and-all?

    “A large counter-protest has turned out in the Victorian town of Eltham, in opposition to far right “out of towners” demonstrating against an aged care home housing Syrian refugees.

    A heavy police presence was on hand for the planned anti-refugee rally, organised by Nick Folkes, the Sydney-based chairman of the far right organisation Party for Freedom, and residents had been urged to stay away. Several businesses had reportedly closed, in fear of violent clashes similar to those seen at previous rallies.

    Folkes, who is against immigration and Islam, and has demanded the sterilisation of refugees, called the protest in response to plans to house up to 120 Syrian refugees in a disused section of the Eltham aged care home.

    The Syrian women and children will be housed in the centre for up to two years, as part of the Australian government’s one-off humanitarian intake of 12,000 refugees from the war-torn nation.

    The rally was preceded by a reportedly larger group of counter-protesters, many holding anti-fascist and pro-refugee placards, declaring Folkes’ rally did not represent them.

    Earlier in the week, Eltham residents had spray-painted butterflies around the area, as a symbol of welcome to the refugees.

    The founder of the Welcome to Eltham committee, Nina Kelabora, said the anti-refugee protesters were “definitely out of towners”, and did not reflect the wishes of the Eltham residents.

    “We know there’s a handful of local residents who have concerns, but this is something else,” Kelabora told Guardian Australia.

    “This is not anything to do with the sentiments in our community, which is a peaceful, safe and welcoming area … the overwhelming sentiment in the community is one of welcome.”

    Kelabora did not attend the rally, instead spray-painting butterflies and tying butterfly symbols around the park earlier..

    “We knew the protest was coming up and we knew we wanted to respond in some way but didn’t want to partake in what they were labelling as a battle,” she told Guardian Australia.

    “We needed to make sure the community’s voice of welcome was heard.”

    The group adopted as its symbol the Eltham Copper Butterfly, which almost disappeared in the 1980s until the residents rallied together to save it, she said.

    She said the Eltham people had contributed more than 700 submissions to a welcome book, which the group planned to give to the refugees when they arrived.

    “From the community perspective it’s really clear that the vast majority are welcoming.”

    Up to 200 anti-refugee demonstrators descended on the town’s Andrew Park on Saturday for what Folkes had dubbed “the battle of Eltham”, with support from other organisations including the Soldiers of Odin, a self-styled “street patrol” patriot group.

    Fairfax reported that about a dozen people at the rally had identified themselves as locals.

    The Australia First party and United Nationalists group staged a mock beheading last week in the park as some form of protest against the plan.

    Early on Saturday morning, the Party For Freedom Facebook page announced that the rally had been delayed until Saturday afternoon “due to both weather and security concerns”….”

    • This is going to cause the crime rate to increase and bring about the collapse of all European governments.

      Translation: Let me send massive numbers of immigrants in with Turkish passports or I will send in massive numbers of immigrants with no paperwork.

    5 Bulgarian nurses, a Bulgarian physician who was detained later, and a Palestinian intern were charged of deliberately infecting 400 children with HIV and causing an epidemic. They were tortured to extract confessions, sentenced to death and kept in prison for nearly 10 years.

  7. COMING TO YOUR TOWN? ALL councils could be forced to house asylum seekers as numbers swell (express, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/728957/G4S-asylum-seeker-housing-councils-Home-Office

    “EXCLUSIVE: EVERY council in England could be forced to take in a share of asylum seekers, because of the demand being placed on existing providers, a Government contractor has claimed.

    G4S, one of three COMPASS companies contracted by the Home Office to provide asylum seeker accommodation up and down the country, has revealed its employer is considering making it mandatory for councils to help resettle refugees.

    Currently, it is down to a local authority if they chose to accept asylum seekers into their area, and the majority refuse to take part.

    According to G4S, this means councils that do house asylum seekers are taking a disproportionate amount and the strain on their local services is immense, particularly due to the increased numbers of immigrant refugees coming in from war torn Syria.

    In a letter to the Home Affairs select committee inquiry into asylum seeker accommodation, John Whitwam, managing director, of G4S immigration and borders, said his firm had been told by the Home Office it was considering making it compulsory for all councils to take part.

    He said: “After many months of negotiating it has become clear that the unwillingness of local authorities to allow placement of asylum seekers in their areas is entrenched.

    “In many cases compromise has become impossible.

    “It is for this reason that the Home Office is considering using its powers to compel participation.”

    G4S is the largest provider of asylum accommodation and transport in the UK, currently housing over 18,000 vulnerable asylum seekers…”

  8. Final Warning from Immigration Officers: Clinton, Open Borders Will ‘Unleash’ Violence, ‘Countless Preventable Deaths’ in America

    In a final warning to the American people ahead of Tuesday’s election, the nation’s frontline immigration officers are calling upon voters to reject Hillary Clinton and her “radical” open borders vision that will “unleash” violence in American communities and “cause countless preventable deaths.”

    Although the nation’s border emergency goes virtually unreported by “corporate-funded media,” Clinton’s immigration policies would greatly exacerbate the crisis, the officers warn in a statement written by the president of the National ICE Council, which represents the nation’s roughly 5,000 frontline ICE officers, agents, and personnel.

    “Hillary’s pledge for ‘open borders’ will mean disaster for our country, and turn the present border emergency into a cataclysm,” writes ICE Council President Chris Crane. “Hillary’s plan would unleash violent cartels and brutal transnational gangs into US communities and cause countless preventable deaths.”

    Crane explains that the uncontrolled flood of record numbers of migrants into the country will be especially harmful on poor communities– including Hispanic and immigrant communities that will bear “the economic brunt the illegal immigrant surge.”

  9. German military investigates 60 potential Islamists in Bundeswehr

    BERLIN (Reuters) – The German government plans to carry out security investigations of all military recruits beginning in July 2017 after its military counter-espionage service (MAD) identified 20 Islamists in the Bundeswehr, according to German media group Funke.

    A spokesman for the agency confirmed that number, and said 60 additional potential cases were under investigation.

    Draft legislation to be considered by the German parliament in coming weeks would mandate investigations of all recruits to counter efforts by the Islamic State jihadist group to infiltrate the military and obtain weapons training, Funke Mediengruppe reported.

    The MAD spokesman said recruiting offices had received an undisclosed number of queries from people who wanted to join the military for only a few months and expressed a keen interest in intensive weapons and equipment training, the spokesman said.

    In a statement provided to the Funke media group, the agency said it was concerned about a July 2014 Internet posting by Islamic State in which the group urged those with military training to join its ranks, and other calls for supporters to learn to shoot and to become familiar with weapons.

  10. Amid South China Sea tension, defense exporters flock to Indonesia

    November 5, 2016

    By Fergus Jensen

    JAKARTA (Reuters) – From rescue helicopters to air surveillance equipment, defense manufacturers jostled in Jakarta this week to claim one of the region’s biggest prizes: a slice of Indonesia’s shopping list as the country updates its aging air and sea security capability.

    While it is not part of the dispute over claims in the South China Sea, Indonesia objects to China’s claim to waters around the Natuna Islands and has been ramping up military exercises and patrols in the region.

    At this year’s annual defense gathering, just weeks after the largest Indonesian exercise to date off the Natuna archipelago, corridors were jammed and industry executives reported one of their busiest years at a time of high interest across the region after a lull of over five years.

    Indonesia, which faced a U.S. arms embargo until just over a decade ago, has yet to nail down a winner for the highest profile item on its wish list – a squadron of jets to replace its aging Northrop F-5 fighters, as talks continue with Russia to buy Sukhoi Su-35 jets.

    Rival contenders for the deal include the Saab Gripen combat jet, the Eurofighter Typhoon and Lockheed Martin’s F-16s, according to industry stakeholders. Most offers include the jets and industrial cooperation.

  11. Teachers union official: Instead of boys or girls let’s call students ‘comrade’
    By LU Staff November 4, 2016

    A new guide released to teachers in Canada outlines ways that teachers can make classrooms more inclusive.

    In one such proposal, it is suggested that students be referred to “comrades” instead of boys and girls. A second idea encourages drag shows so that kids can study the “performance of gender.”

    The Alberta Teacher’s Association (ATA), the top union for teachers in Alberta, Canada released the 152-page document titled “Prism Toolkit for Safe and Caring Discussions.” The guide is meant to assist teachers in creating an LBGTQ-inclusive environment in the classroom.

    The guide is intended to create “welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments for children and youth,” and asks teachers use gender-neutral language like “spouse” rather than husband and wife.

    One activity recommended for students is titled “Drag 101.” The activity encourages students to “examine the performance of gender, specifically the exaggerated feminine aspects of dressing and acting in drag,” and compels students to invite local drag queens to come into the classroom and to organize a drag performance at the school.

  13. WikiLeaks reveal: Clinton campaign has final say over when PBS airs its stories
    By Ben Bowles

    If CNN (or for that matter any alphabet network) wants to climb in bed with the Clinton campaign, that’s their business. They should probably stop pretending to report the news, but it’s their prerogative. They are privately owned entities and, therefore, free to do as they please.

    PBS is a different story. The network is subsidized by the federal government (read: taxpayers) to the tune of 15% of its budget and is therefore beholden to its stakeholders, if not honor-bound to show impartiality in political matters.

    That it does not is revealed in an October 2015 email from Clinton campaign Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri:

  14. Warning Update: Russia Prepares To Escalate Military Intervention In Syria

    Key Takeaway: Russia is preparing to escalate its military operations in Syria in order to tout its standing as a great power, reinforce its claims to be a credible partner against violent extremism, and reinvigorate domestic support for its continued participation in the Syrian Civil War.

    Russia has set conditions for a major demonstration of its military might following the completion of the latest in a long series of ‘humanitarian pauses’ in Aleppo City set to end on November 4. Russia’s sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, is expected to arrive off the Syrian Coast in the coming days.

    http://www.rightsidenews.com/world/national-security/warning-update-russia-prepares-to-escalate-military-intervention-in-syria/

    • Looks like Russia is upping the ante in Syria and Iraq. The next move is up to Turkey, Iran, the Kurds or ISIS. Events are building to a major crisis and probably for WWIII to go kinetic some time this winter.

      Combine this with Turkey saying that if Turkish Citizens aren’t given EU Passports they will flood Europe with invaders this winter and there is a nasty scenario building. Although the idea of flooding Europe with refugees during the winter does seem to be a policy leading to many deaths from exposer. Which may be what Erdogen wants.

  15. Islam’s “Human Rights”

    by Janet Tavakoli
    November 5, 2016 at 5:00 am

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9241/islam-human-rights

    After witnessing the Islamic Republic of Iran violate human rights, adopt sharia law, persecute other religions, murder dissenters, and compel the judiciary to serve the Ministry of Intelligence, it seems clear that the worst thing that can happen to a free Western country is to allow Islamic fundamentalists to take over a government.

    Most of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims pray in Arabic, even if it is not their mother tongue. The problem, however, is not in the translation; it is in the ideology.

    Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Arabian; two more were from the United Arab Emirates; one was from Egypt, and one from Lebanon. All were from Arabic-speaking countries.

    Muslim scholars did not unite to protest the act of terrorism on 9/11. Instead, many celebrated a victory; the Quran includes passages that permit violence to expand Islam.

    Most so-called Muslims are peace-loving, but if there are 164 verses of the Koran prescribing jihad, and many Muslims might feel it would be heretical or disloyal to condemn it.

    • Most so-called Muslims are peace-loving, but…
      Tedious.
      Henceforth, I’ll stop reading when I see the weasel-words.

  16. Christian children KICKED OUT of school for refusing to wear hijab or recite Koran (express, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/728836/Christian-children-kicked-out-school-hijab-Koran

    “CHRISTIAN children are being deprived of their education and being ousted from schools for refusing to wear a hijab, it has been revealed.

    Schools across Egypt are forcing girls of every religion to wear the Muslim headscarf and children of both sexes are being punished if they cannot quote the Koran off by heart.

    Even Muslim girls who refuse to wear a hijab are being forced out of school in a country where Coptic Christians have previously been able to live free of persecution.

    Rahman Salem, 12, was ordered to leave her lesson and banned from taking part in any activities at her school in the Delta, northern Egypt.

    Other pupils gave her nasty looks and started leaving the Muslim girl out over the incident.

    She said: “I was made to stand all alone in the school courtyard.

    “The headmistress later came to me and said: ‘Here in school, you put on the headscarf. Outside, you may do as you wish.’

    “No girl can show up with her hair showing. They all have to wear the hijab.

    “Christian girls have to wear the hijab. As soon as the end-of-day bell rings, they start taking it off.”

    Her mother said: “I was told ‘Stop being an idiot! Don’t you want your daughter to be decent?’.

    “I was shocked when other mothers stopped me at the gate. ‘What’s that? How can your daughter show up like this?’

    “I re-inspected my daughter’s uniform, and incredulously asked what was wrong. ‘Her head and neck have to be strictly covered!’”

    Last month another school in the same province of Sharqia put in force rules to make all female students wear a hijab, with the al-Nassiriya School’s headteacher posting a large sign saying Islam dress is now part of the girls’ uniform.

    And Christian seven-year-old Viola Samir told how her Islamic religious studies teacher held eight Christian pupils in her class of 35 children back.

    The teacher then beat anyone who had not learnt the Koran off by heart…”

  17. BURKA BAN: German state plans to outlaw Islamic garb ‘to show we are a democracy’ (express, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/729088/BURKA-BAN-German-state-plans-outlaw-Islamic-garb

    “A MAJOR German state could become the first in the country to ban the wearing of the burka in certain public areas.

    Christian Democrat (CDU) Markus Ulbig, 52, the state’s Interior Minister, is already working on the plan, according to a local report.

    Mr Ulbig wants to introduce the ban for all public areas where it is necessary to show your face, which would include courts, schools, universities, registrar offices as well as day-care centres.

    He said the move aimed “to make a clear sign and to say that we live in a democracy. This means that in a democracy the face must also be shown.”

    The move comes after both the CDU and its sister party the Christian Socialists (CSU) adopted the “Berlin Declaration” in August and demanded that Muslim women should not be completely covered in courts, offices schools or on the road.

    However, the opposition Social Democratic Party’s parliamentary leader Dirk Panter has rejected such a move…”

    Another official complained a water sports park had been used as “Paris’ dustbin” as almost 200 migrants arrived forcing managers to disappoint customers who had booked visits.

    Officials in most affected areas were given only a few hours’ notice to prepare for the arrival of hundreds of mainly African migrants and were forced to use sports centres, parks and holiday centres as temporary accommodation…”

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/728981/Shisha-lounge-smoking-ban-police-customs-local-authority-crackdown

    “SHISHA bars who flout the law by letting customers smoke indoors are being targeted in a crackdown by local authority enforcement officers.

    Courts are handing out heavy fines to owners who let people smoke cigarettes and shisha pipes on their premises.

    A ban came into force in 2007 making it illegal to smoke in enclosed public spaces such as pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes.

    The owners and managers of any premises have to take reasonable steps to ensure that all staff and customers are aware of the law and to uphold it.

    But it appears that some shisha bars, which are popular in areas with large Middle Eastern or southern Asian communities, are ignoring the ban nine years after it was introduced.

    Enforcement officers in Bolton, Greater Manchester, said at least half the shisha cafes on their patch were breaking the law…”

          • I had been figuring that their noses had shut down.

            Yean the left does seem to have a hard time learning what is allowed under Islam. You would think they would learn something about the religion they are supporting.

    • In all probability, Prince Charles’ Islamic masters are eternally grateful for the jug ears of that wretched, inbred, spineless race traitor. After all, they allow for a more-than firm grasp upon him as he kneels to impatiently service them with joyous abandon.

    “A WHISTLEBLOWER has revealed that dozens of migrants have been lying about their age in order to receive benefits and cheap education.

    The woman, who works at a busy job centre in a large English city, said she has dealt with numerous people who she said are clearly lying about their age.

    The whistleblower, who has specialised in dealing with 18 to 24 year olds and worked as a job adviser for 20 years, said one woman from Somalia even had the audacity to admit to her that she had lied.

    She said: “We have always had people claiming benefits who you can just tell they’re not 18 to 24, they are much older.”

    One claimant was so obviously older than 24 that he was balding and what hair he did have was going grey…”

    Residents in Munich have been enraged by plans for a migrant shelter for teenagers in their neighbourhood, with seven locals taking local authorities to court over the proposal.

    However, a court ruling stated that the wall was the best way to resolve the dispute as work is completed on the shelter and migrants begin to move in, as many locals live just 25 metres behind the proposed site…”

    • GERMAN authorities have built [or intend to construct] a wall higher than the one that divided Berlin in the Cold War to separate migrants from locals.

      The irony of this is thick enough to spread on toast. Where to begin?!?

      East Germany’s brutal confinement of it’s own people —

      How could a regime claim any moral authority when, in order to discourage emigration, it had to deploy minefields, machine gun nests, electrified fences and (in Berlin alone) a 96 mile (155 km) barrier with an average height of 11.8 ft (3.60 m)? Modern-day Berlin is one of Europe’s most beautiful and vibrant cities. I watched the very last standing segment of the Berlin Wall (please view the linked video clip) drift past during my canal-boat tour. The same cruise included close inspection of WWII bullet-scarred waterfront foundations of wartime-era government buildings. To think that Berlin (or any other of the delightful German cities I visited) would wish for the slightest resurrection of a similar wall is beyond belief.

      West Germany spent €2 trillion ($2.23 trillion USD) on the noble cause of reunification. Now, a Cold War-era, Communist, “ex-Stasi, mid-level propaganda commissar for the Free German Youth” has unilaterally decided that dropping Germany’s border controls in order to admit well-over a million willfully non-assimilating, barely literate, chronically unemployable aboriginals will best benefit that nation’s citizens and their economic future.

      West Germany’s suicidal immigration policies —

      For those who may have missed it, the “Cost of migrants per capita in Germany” video posted by Eeyore on November 2, 2016, is a stunning exposé of Angela Merkel’s overt attempt to deluge (and financially burden) decent German citizens with contemptible economic blood-ticks. Please pay close attention to this clip’s closing arguments as the narrator brilliantly elucidates how—were indigenous German women offered the same government child-support benefits—that nation’s own citizenry would likely breed well beyond the currently lagging population replacement rates. This is no small matter as polygamous Muslim invaders are hoovering up social benefits even as they are PAID to demographically displace native Germans. Another capital crime in progress.

    “Several thousand Kurds marched in the western Germany city of Cologne on Saturday in support of pro-Kurdish politicians jailed in Turkey the previous day.

    The demonstrators — numbering 6,500 according to Cologne police and up to 15,000 according to the protest’s organisers — carried flags and banners promoting the People’s Democratic Party (HDP).

    On Friday, the HDP’s two leaders, Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag, and several of the party’s legislators, were remanded in custody by a court in the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir.

    The United States and European Union have both raised alarm over the arrests, in a crackdown since the country’s July 15 coup attempt…”

  24. Austria: EU must prepare borders for end of Turkey migrant deal (DW, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://www.dw.com/en/austria-eu-must-prepare-borders-for-end-of-turkey-migrant-deal/a-36273587

    “Austria’s defense minister has said the European Union’s migrant deal with Turkey is dead. The EU must now prepare to strengthen its external borders, he added.

    The European Union should bolster its border defenses against another influx of migrants in anticipation of the possible collapse of the bloc’s refugee deal with Turkey, Austria’s defense minister said Saturday.

    “I have always said that the EU-Turkey deal should only be a stop-gap measure until the EU is in the position to effectively protect its external borders and thereby stem the flow of migrants,” Hans Peter Doskozil told the German daily “Bild” in an interview.

    “The time to organize for that is ever closer,” he said, adding that he invited defense ministers from Central European states to Vienna early next week to discuss joint measures and the situation in Turkey.

    Doskozil’s comments come as the EU-Turkey migrant deal, which went into effect in March, has encountered a number of stumbling blocks even as it has reduced the number of migrants arriving in Greece…”

    “Police in the Swedish city of Malmö have launched a special investigations group after at least two child rapes, one of a 12-year-old girl, carried out in broad daylight.

    “We are taking this extremely seriously,” Bo Lundquist, the criminal commissioner who has launched the group, told the local Kvällsposten newspaper.

    The police have appointed 15 police officers to the team in an attempt to speedily identify the people behind the attacks…”

  26. 11 militants killed in North Sinai military operation: Army spokesman (ahram, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/247364/Egypt/Politics-/-militants-killed-in-North-Sinai-military-operatio.aspx

    “Egypt’s military raided three major “armed terrorist hotspots” in North Sinai, killing 11 militants, the army’s spokesman announced in an official statement on Saturday.

    The spokesman said that the army tightened a siege on other militant hotspots in North Sinai’s El-Arish and Sheikh Zuweid, seizing arms, wireless communication devices, computers and cameras.

    The spokesman added that the army’s operation against the insurgency has reached a “critical stage in uprooting terrorism.”

    The statement added that 28 explosives were located in the El-Arish and Rafah areas and that 29 other explosive devices that had been planted to target security forces were defused.

    The anti-terror operation “Martyr’s Right” was first launched in September 2015 to root out militants operating in the restive Sinai Peninsula.

    On Friday, an Egyptian army brigadier general was shot dead in El-Arish…”

  27. EU ‘in denial’ over migrant carnage — NGOs (gulfnews, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://gulfnews.com/news/europe/italy/eu-in-denial-over-migrant-carnage-ngos-1.1924659

    “Rome: Aid groups helping rescue migrants in the Mediterranean on Friday accused the European Union of being in denial over the unprecedented carnage unfolding on its southern doorstep.

    Another deadly week in the waters between Libya and Italy has lifted the tally of migrant deaths at sea since the start of the year to 4,220, higher than the full-year totals for 2014, 2015 or any other year on record, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said.

    More than 725 more migrants have died in 2016 than at the same point last year, the IOM said.

    “In the face of this new and shameful record, the European Union cannot continue to pretend nothing is happening and make itself an accomplice to this ever greater tragedy,” said Tommaso Fabbri, the Italy head of mission for medical charity Doctors without Borders (MSF).

    “There is an urgent need for safe and legal ways for desperate people to reach safety in Europe without risking or losing their lives.”…”

    • There is an urgent need for safe and legal ways for desperate people to reach safety in Europe without risking or losing their lives.”…

      Ensuring that they never dip a toe in Mediterranean waters would be the best and wisest first step. As in shelling south-shore harbors and interdicting vessels-in-transit would best serve the interests of all involved.

      Those who enable this continuing flood into Europe of non-assimilating, chronically unemployable, illiterate, and permanently hostile aggressors will be responsible for a new round of genocide that will make WWII look like a walk in the park.

      Much like how Soviet Communists were never adequately taken to task for their egregious misdeeds and mass murders, it is equally unlikely that the EU’s own criminal perpetrators will ever answer for the mayhem and slaughter that is looming on Europe’s horizon. More’s the pity.

  29. U.S. Government Hackers Threaten to Intervene in Election Over ‘Russia’ Suspicions

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unprecedented turn of events, the United States government is warning that it will launch cyber attacks if the government suspects Russian involvement in the U.S. elections.

    A frantic article appeared Friday night on NBC News called “U.S. Government Hackers Ready To Hit Back if Russia Tries To Disrupt Election.”

    In the article, U.S. government sources clearly warn of the possibility of cyberwar with Russia in the near future. The article foreshadows a new likely talking point: that U.S. government hacker interference in the election is necessitated by supposed Russian aggression.

    NBC News reports:

      • Brava, yucki! A hero, indeed.

        Dr. Peterson’s clarity of thought is as breathtaking as it is scarce among modern-day thinkers. He correctly identifies the entire LGBTQWXYZ “cause” as an overt attempt to subvert Western civilization. As he points out, these outrageous ultra-Liberal demands that people accept (and comply with) absurdly complicated “non-binary” linguistic shadings about sexual identity are almost solely dedicated to deconstructing free thought and creating a Politically Correct intellectual gulag.

        Additional praise to buck for contributing this outstanding video. I wish there was a transcript available because of the numerous and concise memes that Peterson pits forward during the interview.

        Eeyore, please consider making this into a separate post so that more people will see it. Rarely have I seen such a cogent and lucid parsing of the strategies utilized by Leftists to oppress even mild political or ideological dissent.

          • Good on ya, Eeyore! Mandatory viewing if ever there was any.

            Please consider accompanying it with that recent interview (in a totem pole filled room) which outlined the variations on Liberalism (e.g., authoritarian vs compassionate).

            The nomenclature in this second video will assist with better comprehension of Dr. Peterson’s content.

  30. Donald Trump rushed off stage by Secret Service during rally in Reno

    • DAILY MAIL – Donald Trump is rushed away by Secret Service while speaking during Reno rally after protester ‘with a gun’ tries to storm the stage

      Secret Service agents rushed Donald trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada after they determined a protester in the audience with a gun posed a threat to the Republican presidential candidate.

      ‘Go! Go!’ they shouted as they whisked him away and a combination of local police and private security wrestled the suspect to the ground.

      Thousands of people scattered like a sea of bodies, screams rang out and authorities dragged the man away as he kicked and strained.

  31. 4 Albanians Arrested for Recruiting for Islamic State Group (abcnews, Nov 5, 2016)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/albanians-arrested-recruiting-islamic-state-group-43327207

    “Albanian police say they have arrested four people for reportedly recruiting members for the Islamic State group and for funding rebel groups in Syria.

    A statement Saturday said the four were arrested Friday after five Albanians and 11 foreigners were questioned and released as part of a regional operation that involved neighboring Kosovo and Macedonia.

    The suspects are accused of recruiting people to go to Syria to join IS extremists, supporting the group financially and inciting hatred, charges that may get them up to life in prison if proven.

    About two-thirds of Albania’s 3.2 million people are Muslims. Despite calls from mainstream religious leaders not to join rebel groups in Syria, scores of Albanians are believed to have joined Islamic extremist groups in Syria and Iraq.”

  32. House of Kurds: American Involvement is Upsetting the Middle East’s Most Delicate Balance

    In the treacherous landscape of the Middle East, American foreign policy has come to rely ever more on alliances with “the Kurds.” They are the pro-American ones, the Good Guys of the neighborhood, the ones who love democracy and stand firm against jihadism. In Iraq, the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) provides a stable base for American operations against the Islamic State, even hosting an expanded local CIA headquarters near its capital of Erbil. In Syria, the only ally the United States has managed to achieve any meaningful impact with is the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, or YPG. Accordingly, the U.S. has praised these groups, armed them, feted their leaders, and provided them air support going back as far as 1991.

    But the U.S. should never mistake the groups that represent the Kurds of Syria and Iraq as a solid foundation on which Mideast policy can be built. Kurdish internal politics is a twisted mess that spans four countries, involves tens of millions of people, and requires the mastery of more than a dozen three-letter abbreviations to understand. The Kurds contain multitudes, and the stability that has existed in recent years is now threatened from both within and without. In the KRG, fissures between the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) are widening substantially, with the pendulum of Kurdish power threatening to tip back towards the latter. In Syria, the YPG, our allies, are trying to chart a course that preserves their autonomy, which has been allowed in the short term but ultimately contradicts the goals of Turkey, which is also our ally.

    The U.S. remains hampered by one simple fact: At no point in the last two decades has the government articulated a consistent, coherent vision for the Kurdish people. The Kurds have frequently been viewed as tools, and their groups’ political objectives not taken at face value. American support has empowered Kurdish actors like never before—but without stepping back and taking the long view, without thinking too long and too hard about the consequences tomorrow of choices made today. The looming result is this: The delicate Kurdish balance that America has come to depend on could soon come crashing down like a house of cards. And America’s enemies may get the first shot at rebuilding.

    • I’ve been sloppy myself. Cheering for all Kurds, all the time.
      This huge, scattered and diverse people have a much more complex story. I know the Armenians have a more nuanced perspective.
