More European arrests on terrorism related charges of seemingly random people for no binding reason and more: Links 1 on June 8 – 2015

1.  As ISIS brutalizes women, a pathetic feminist silence copied in full from the NYPost as malware found on that page.

Oh, how the feminist movement has lost its way. And the deafening silence over ISIS’s latest brutal crimes makes that all too clear.
Fifty years ago, American women launched a liberation campaign for freedom and equality. We achieved a revolution in the Western world and created a vision for girls and women everywhere.
Second Wave feminism was an ideologically diverse movement that pioneered society’s understanding of how women were disadvantaged economically, reproductively, politically, physically, psychologically and sexually.
Feminists had one standard of universal human rights — we were not cultural relativists — and we called misogyny by its rightful name no matter where we found it.
As late as 1997, the Feminist Majority at least took a stand against the Afghan Taliban and the burqa. In 2001, 18,000 people, led by feminist celebrities, cheered ecstatically when Oprah Winfrey removed a woman’s burqa at a feminist event — but she did so safely in Madison Square Garden, not in Kabul or Kandahar.
Six weeks ago, Human Rights Watch documented a “system of organized rape and sexual assault, sexual slavery, and forced marriage by ISIS forces.” Their victims were mainly Yazidi women and girls as young as 12, whom they bought, sold, gang-raped, beat, tortured and murdered when they tried to escape.
In May, Kurdish media reported, Yazidi girls who escaped or were released said they were kept half-naked together with other girls as young as 9, one of whom was pregnant when she was released. The girls were “smelled,” chosen and examined to make sure they were virgins. ISIS fighters whipped or burned the girls’ thighs if they refused to perform “extreme” pornography-influenced sex acts. In one instance, they cut off the legs of a girl who tried to escape.
These atrocities are war crimes and crimes against humanity — and yet American feminists did not demand President Obama rescue the remaining female hostages nor did they demand military intervention or support on behalf of the millions of terrified Iraqi and Syrian civilian refugees.
An astounding public silence has prevailed.
The upcoming annual conference of the National Organization for Women does not list ISIS or Boko Haram on its agenda. While the most recent Women’s Studies annual conference did focus on foreign policy, they were only interested in Palestine, a country which has never existed, and support for which is often synonymous with an anti-Israel position. Privately, feminists favor non-intervention, non-violence and the need for multilateral action, and they blame America for practically everything wrong in the world.
What is going on?
Feminists are, typically, leftists who view “Amerika” and white Christian men as their most dangerous enemies, while remaining silent about Islamist barbarians such as ISIS.
Feminists strongly criticize Christianity and Judaism, but they’re strangely reluctant to oppose Islam — as if doing so would be “racist.” They fail to understand that a religion is a belief or an ideology, not a skin color.
The new pseudo-feminists are more concerned with racism than with sexism, and disproportionately focused on Western imperialism, colonialism and capitalism than on Islam’s long and ongoing history of imperialism, colonialism, anti-black racism, slavery, forced conversion and gender and religious apartheid.
And why? They are terrified of being seen as “politically incorrect” and then demonized and shunned for it.
The Middle East and Western Africa are burning; Iran is raping female civilians and torturing political prisoners; the Pakistani Taliban are shooting young girls in the head for trying to get an education and disfiguring them with acid if their veils are askew — and yet, NOW passed no resolution opposing this.
Twenty-first century feminists need to oppose misogynistic, totalitarian movements. They need to reassess the global threats to liberty, and rekindle our original passion for universal justice and freedom.

2. Barack Obama: Born Again Jew

At the last White House Chanukah dinner, he claimed to have a Jewish soul. At a synagogue speech last month, he called himself “an honorary member of the tribe”. Now his former senior advisor has quoted him as saying, “I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office.

3. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday struck down a law that would allow American citizens born in Jerusalem to have Israel listed as their birthplace on passports, handing a victory to President Barack Obama’s administration.

(Interesting follow up to previous item isn’t it?)

The Obama administration argued that the law unlawfully encroached on the president’s power to set foreign policy and would have, if enforced, undermine the U.S. government’s claim to be a neutral peacemaker in the Middle East.

“Congress cannot command the president to contradict an earlier recognition determination in the issuance of passports,” Justice Anthony Kennedy, a conservative who often casts the deciding vote in close cases, wrote in the majority opinion.

The court was divided, with the court’s four liberal members joining Kennedy in the majority. One of the court’s conservatives, Justice Clarence Thomas, agreed with part of the ruling. The court’s other conservatives, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Samuel Alito, all dissented.

4. Moss men march through Bejar, Spain

Bejar, Spain: Men covered from head to toe in moss have paraded through the streets of Bejar in western Spain to commemorate a daring raid that local legend says helped liberate the town from Muslim occupation some eight centuries ago.

Locals believe that during the reign of King Alfonso VIII of Castile (1155-1214) men camouflaged themselves in moss from local forests to enable them to approach the gates of a Muslim fortress.

Once there, they waited until the drawbridge opened before ambushing the unsuspecting guards. One version of the legend says the guards took fright at the moss-men’s appearance and fled.

5. Mounting evidence that the muslim activist who created the media frenzy over an open can of Diet Coke may have made the whole thing up.

(Some good thinking and analysis on this ‘issue’. Leaked internal memo here?)

6. USA – Fenton MI –  the holy hair of Mohammed ( 21 min )

(This video is a great example of how muslims have both fetishized mohamed and all things sacred within islam, but also the hypocrisy of claiming that Christians are polytheists for having various attributes and aspects of God divided into symbol sets, while they themselves clearly have made Mohamed into a supernatural creature and akin unto a god far more than the Christians do with Jesus. I do not believe that the bible claims God prays to Jesus. However: surat al-ahzab aya 56 it says…)

((Anyone who doesn’t want to watch 25 minutes of hair-worship is forgiven in advance. Follicle-phobia not withstanding of course))

7. 16 Arrested in Belgium in Terror-Related Investigations

Belgian police arrested 16 people on Monday in twin terrorism-related investigations involving Chechen extremists, authorities said.

The suspects belong to two separate groups that had links between them, the federal prosecutor’s office said.

Members of one group, based in western Flanders, were allegedly active in Syria and probably participated in combat there, prosecutors said.

One group member returned home to Belgium for medical care after being wounded while fighting with an extremist Muslim faction, authorities said. Some of those arrested allegedly had plans to return to Syria.

(If things go well today, there may be a new Stephen Coughlin brief to watch here by tonight. The Red Pill Brief 1. It should be very interesting and informative. Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, GoV., Tundra T., Carpe Diem, and many more for contributions and help and again to all who assisted yesterday in nailing down the meaning of the translation of the Russian and American trained defector to the Islamic State video. That is a more important document than it is getting recognition for so far. More to come today most certainly.
