The London hospital used by Nigerian mums flying in for free maternity care (express, Oct 30, 2016)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/726817/London-hospital-used-Nigerian-mums-flying-free-maternity-care-UK-NHS
“NIGERIAN women are flying to Britain to have their babies at a south London hospital because they know there are NO checks on nationality or eligibility.
The problem is so acute that bosses are FINALLY considering introducing passport checks on women who have no right to treatment in British hospitals.
Health chiefs have long warned of an ‘escalating’ problem with women flying to Britain to have their children knowing they will get free top notch care, courtesy of the British tax payer.
And a high proportion of expectant foreign mothers who have no right to access the NHS maternity services continue to target St George’s Hospital in Tooting.
There is growing evidence that this deliberate UK health tourism has become a commoditised business in Nigeria.
Now bosses are proposing ID checks and the Home Office is said to be keen to support the proposed pilot scheme with a view to potentially rolling the system out across the country.
Under the proposals every pregnant woman would be expected to show a photo ID and utility bill when they arrive for a scan to prove they are entitled to free NHS care.
Those unable to prove eligibility will be referred to the Overseas Patient Team for further investigation with the backing of the Home Office.
Managers at St George’s said Nigerian women were using the south London hospital as an international health service….”
“Those unable to prove eligibility will be referred to the Overseas Patient Team for further investigation with the backing of the Home Office.”
As in, take them into a back room and give them all of the same high-cost medical care.
The “Nigerian Scam” rides again!!!
Many Nigerians have the idea that as their country was colonized by the British and gave them their new religion of a free pass, they are entitled to take what they want. They claim the moral high ground.
Getting top jobs is the same right – and demand a quota.
Islam is following the same path to riddle these same people who submit to offence as their honor.
Or as Milo should say, ‘a population taken-in by the back passage, hook, line and sphincter’

Migrant dad-of-eight ‘lands plush four-bed detached property worth £425,000’ – and YOU PAY (express, Oct 31, 2016)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/726929/Arnold-Sube-Jeanne-Cameroon-425000-property-milton-keynes-angry-neighbours
“A FAMILY-of-ten have successfully wrangled themselves a property worth £425,000 after moaning their current house was too cramped.
Arnold Sube and his wife Jeanne – both from Cameroon – with his eight children have reportedly cost the taxpayer £238,000 since arriving in Britain in 2012.
Now Mr Sube and his wife have been given a dream home in leafy Milton Keynes, Bucks.
The house comes with a master bedroom including an en-suite and three double bedrooms.
There is a dining room, utility room and a garage with a garden and driveway.
Mr Sube and his wife collect £44,000-a-year in benefits and have collected a total of £238,000 in benefits since their arrival from Paris in 2012, the Sun reported.
Neighbours labelled the hand-out “unfair” when they heard the family did not pay anything towards the £1,200-a-month rent.
One lady said: “If you have eight kids you should not expect to be bailed out. The father has played the system and won.
“They are extremely fortunate. This is a lovely estate. Parents are desperate to move here.”
Another added: “This is a great place to live. We work hard and pay our bills and they get this for nothing.”
Another outraged neighbour said: “Young people are living with their parents until their 30s because they have to save thousands for deposits for much smaller homes.”
The average price for a family home in Milton Keynes costs £264,393.
Tory MP David Morris told the Sun: “Families up and down Britain could never dream of affording a big house like this. Yet they are having their noses rubbed in that fact by being made to fork out for someone else to live like a king.”
Back in September, Mr Sube revealed he had £15,000 saved up from his job at a warehouse in Paris – but stopped work when he moved to Luton in 2012.
He spent his savings trying to keep up the lavish lifestyle he lived in Paris but soon ran out of cash and footed the bill to taxpayers instead.”
“A FAMILY-of-ten have successfully wrangled themselves a property worth £425,000 after moaning their current house was too cramped.
We all know what a horrible tragedy it would be if that house caught fire.
Merkel humiliated after party member calls for migrant to be ‘sent to a crematorium’ (express, Oct 31, 2016)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/726926/angela-merkel-jorg-schlechte-migrant-crematorium-christian-democratic-union
“A POLITICIAN from Angela Merkel’s party has sparked fury after claiming an Eritrean migrant who threw a bin at a judge in court should be sent to a “crematorium” as punishment for his actions.
Christian Democratic Union councillor Jörg Schlechte posted a public rant on Facebook, claiming the migrant should be sent to a crematorium for assaulting the judge.
Despite being part of Mrs Merkel’s pro-migration party, the councillor, who is an elected official in the town of Meissner in Hesse, could not resist voicing his outrage online.
The migrant was on trial for multiple counts of assault, arson and other crimes.
The judge was deciding whether the defendant was fit for trial or should remain in psychiatric care.
But when the judge ruled the man should be remanded in psychiatric care, the migrant picked up a dustbin and threw it at him, inflicting injuries for which he required hospitalisation.
On his personal Facebook page, Mr Schlechte shared an article about the attack, and said: “This man needs to be helped” along with a link to the Meissen crematorium website.”
But the post was soon removed as Mr Schelte was reprimanded by his party…”
““A POLITICIAN from Angela Merkel’s party has sparked fury after claiming an Eritrean migrant who threw a bin at a judge in court should be sent to a “crematorium” as punishment for his actions.”
One can only hope that any time he spent at the “crematorium” involved hauling someone’s ashes.
Very punny.
Turkey shuts 15 media organisations over claimed terrorist links in crackdown following failed coup (telegraph, Oct 31, 2016)

“Turkey said it had closed 15 more media outlets and dismissed a further 10,000 civil servants over suspected links with terrorist organisations and US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, blamed by Ankara for orchestrating a failed coup in July.
Executive decrees have ordered the closure of 15 more newspapers, wires and magazines, which report from the largely Kurdish southeast, bringing the total number of media outlets and publishers closed since the abortive putsch to nearly 160…”
Heinous ISIS jihadis hide BOMBS inside cuddly toys to lure and slaughter CHILDREN (express, Oct 31, 2016)

“EVIL Islamic State jihadis have plunged to new lows as it emerges they are concealing bombs inside cuddly toys as a way of targeting Iraqi children in war-ravaged Mosul.
The depraved militants have been planting bombs inside teddy bears and hiding detonators for booby traps within innocent-looking toy cars, it has been revealed.
Horrifying examples of the wickedly disguised improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have been put on display at a training centre for bomb disposal experts as 40,000 soldiers prepare to advance on Mosul…”
“EVIL Islamic State jihadis have plunged to new lows as it emerges they are concealing bombs inside cuddly toys as a way of targeting Iraqi children in war-ravaged Mosul.”
They’ve “plunged to new lows”? Pardon my derisive hilarity, but since when?!? Over a decade ago, Iraqi terrorists strapped a pair of infants into car seats so that their car bomb would more likely be waived through the checkpoint at an American military base.
Would everybody please recall that Islamic terrorism has no upward limit to its barbarity. Once that’s understood, all of this “plunged to new lows” taurine fecal matter is snapped into some sort of realistic focus. “[N]ew lows”, puhleese!!!
Popular British holiday hotspot issues ACID RAIN warning after ISIS torch sulphur plant (express, Oct 31, 2016)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/726937/British-holiday-resort-Turkey-acid-rain-isis-torch-sulphur-plant-al-Mishraq
“HEALTH warnings have been issued at a popular British holiday resorts as dangerous acid rain looms over Turkey.
Islamic State terrorists have burnt down the al-Mishraq Sulphur plant – once the biggest in the Middle East – as the death cult desperately tries to fight off US-led coalition forces.
Swathes of toxic gasses have dispersed into the atmosphere and have reached the southeast of Turkey, the Daily Star reports.
The southern coast of Turkey has numerous holiday hotspots popular with British and European travellers.
Those who have inhaled the poisonous gasses have developed breathing difficulties and suffered nosebleeds.
The World Tribune reported: “Satellite images released by US space agency NASA found the sulphur dioxide clouds had reached much of central Iraq, including Baghdad, Tikrit, Kirkuk and Mosul as well as parts of Turkey’s southeast.”…”
Dutch politician Geert Wilders on trial over hate speech (BBC, Oct 31, 2016)

“The Dutch populist politician Geert Wilders goes on trial in the Netherlands over hate speech charges on Monday. The anti-immigration leader of the Freedom Party, famous for his provocative views on Islam, is hoping to become the next prime minister. Anna Holligan reports.”
Sorry if I’ll be repeating stuff, but have been afk for a while and this stuff is just coming out way too fast:
http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/30/now-five-fbi-field-offices-are-probing-clinton-charity-adding-fuel-to-the-fire/
FBI field offices in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Little Rock, Ark., are investigating the Clinton Foundation concerning allegations of pay-to-play financial and political corruption, according to a report at The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Sunday.
Mirroring information provided by a former senior law enforcement official that “multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation,” WSJ revelation confirms what The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group reported in August.
FBI field offices in three cities, specifically, New York, Little Rock and Washington, D.C., were coordinating with the U. S. Attorneys working in those cities. FBI agents in Miami are also joining the probe, TheDCNF has since learned.
From a post on 4chan: OP claims to be an FBI mid-level officer and is willing to answwer some questions. Yes, he claims to be on of those disgruntled ones who think Cuomo had sold out.
The following is one of his answers to specific questions:
>>95323758
Trust me, if we fuck this up, most of us will be suicides by 3 gunshots to the back of the head. The Clinton’s realized they let this slide – they’ll tie the loose ends next time, for sure.
>>95323774
Well, that’s a tough one. Even though Comey reopened the investigation, most of us here working on the case still don’t trust him fully yet. Our sentiment of him isn’t positive – most of us think that he sold out big time to Hillary and her campaign.
I have a lot of good guys working here though. Guys that have been working on this since the initial recommendation for no indictment came out. We were commanded to destroy the laptops, etc, but many of us silently refused.
It really comes down to what we find – we need something that really sticks. Our best bet for that is our Clinton Foundation ongoing investigation. I don’t think the emails are going to be that hard hitting, however, I can confirm that the 33k deleted do exist. They are out there, we have confirmed it.
…
Here is another little tidbit for you:
Hello. I would like to instead inform you to begin searching for a reference to a man named Aaron Dunn and anything relating to Aa***@*****se.com inside the header data. There is is a significant chance that Hillary had some contact event with the webmaster of Premise as she established her relationship with Soloff.
Just thought I’d let you know.
…
Context: Aaron Dunn is at Premise, a marketing company, and 4chan people are certain he is the one who orchestrated the accusations of pedophilia against Assange. This meeting would confirm that that hit was ordered by Hillary herself.
The full thread is interesting, one comment leaks which emails the FBI is focusing on currently, and can be found here:
http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/95323617#p95323617
Interesting.
Remember how Bush had endorsed Hillary in 2008 – saying that Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton had a ‘certain appeal’?
Well, in now looks like Bush’s lawyer is trying to sue the FBI in order for them to stop re-opening the email investigation…Makes you wonder what is in those emails that has Bush running scared!
http://newcenturytimes.com/2016/10/30/bush-admin-just-got-involved-in-fbis-probe-into-clintons-emails-and-its-game-changing-image/
GIGO – garbage in, garbage out.
The compromise of the Executive Branch and the intelligence community didn’t start on 0’s watch. This wreckage is layers and layers deep, covered with oil and buried in money. There’s bound to be Bush DNA all over it.
As well as Clinton, various members of the Reagan cabinet Carter and possibly before.
Everyone here should enjoy this…
FBIanon held an AMA on 4chan shortly before the decision NOT to charge Hillary was made. Much of his information has since been proven as accurate, though not all his predictions.
Reading reasonably far down the tread, he says most of the government would be proven to be corrupt and revealing everything would cause several countries to go to war with the USA. And that the emails are nothing compared to the whole thing – and that Soros is the kingpin.
Then there is this wonderful little tidbit:
Q: Why not go big?
Is Obama actually secretly Osama with his beard shaven?
A: Obama is a liberal atheist who is willingly associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Stephen Coughlin’s book, while not totally accurate, does shine light in the right direction.

CHAOS IN PARIS: Riot police swarm as migrant camp destruction provokes fierce clashes (express, Oct 31, 2016)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/727052/Paris-migrant-camp-riot-police-fighting-France
“FIGHTS have broken out on the streets of Paris as riot police supported demolition workers in smashing up a camp full of UK-bound migrants
Scuffles broke out as mainly Afghans and Eritreans tried to save their possessions during the raid, which started soon after 8am.
It followed thousands of migrants arriving in the French capital following the razing of the Calais Jungle refugee camp last week. While some 5,000 Jungle residents agreed to be bussed to resettlement centres around France, many others headed off independently, saying they still wanted to get to Britain.
Up to 3,000 set up tents on the pavements around the Stalingrad Metro station, which is close to the Gare du Nord Eurostar hub in the north of Paris.
Shortly before today’s clearance French president Francois Hollande said: “We won’t tolerate the camps any longer.”
Referring to the Paris clearance, Mr Hollande said: “We are going to carry out the same operation as in Calais.”
CRS riot police around Stalingrad said there would be a ‘gradual operation’ which is likely to go on all week until all the camps are gone…”
ISIS Picks Up New Pledge From Mali Terror Group (vocativ, Oct 31, 2016)
http://www.vocativ.com/372007/isis-picks-up-new-pledge-from-mali-terror-group/?
“In Mosul ISIS is separated by a few miles from Iraqi and Kurdish security forces ready to take back the terror group’s main stronghold in Iraq, but elsewhere in the world, the Islamic State is still collecting endorsements.
The group’s Amaq News Agency reported Monday that the Mali-based al-Murabitoun Brigade has pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and said it is now an affiliate of the Islamic State.
A new video featuring Abu al-Walid al-Sahrawi, the leader of al-Murabitoun, standing with a dozen masked gunmen was published along with the announcement. “We call on all Muslims to join the Caliphate and pledge allegiance to the Caliph of Muslims and support of Caliphate, and achieve unity in the face of the international Crusader campaign against Islam and Muslims,’ al-Sahrawi says in the video. The scenes conclude with a pledge of allegiance ceremony and the gunmen shouting ISIS’ motto: “Remaining!”
Al-Sahrawi is a prominent militant leader in North Africa who also led another jihadi group in west Africa that took part in the capture and seizure of Gao during the conflict in northern Mali in 2012. He had already asserted his loyalty to ISIS in May 2015, a move that was dismissed at the time by al-Murabitoun co-founder Moktar Belmoktar. Belmoktar remained loyal to al-Qaeda, and the two men went their separate ways later…”
America’s ‘invisible’ Muslims (BBC, Oct 31, 2016)
http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-37663226
“Two decades ago, Muslim refugees fleeing Bosnia arrived in St Louis and became a crucial part of the city. Now anti-immigrant fervour might lead the Bosnians of St Louis to become more politically active.
Imam Eldin Susa recounts how a family of recent immigrants from the Middle East was threatened at gunpoint while looking for housing in Affton, a leafy suburb of St Louis, Missouri.
“From their faces, it was obvious from where they came,” he says – and the firearm-wielding resident wasn’t happy about the prospect of such new neighbours.
Dzemal Bijedic, a Muslim chaplain with the St Louis police, says a Muslim woman waiting for a bus recently was set upon by five men who shouted anti-Islamic slurs and tried to tear off her hijab.
Eventually onlookers intervened.
“Some of the people fear when they see a Middle Eastern family,” Bijedic says. “They tell them to go back to their country; that they’re terrorists.”
Ajlina Karamehic-Muratovic, a professor at St Louis University, says she’s been involved in conversations where she was shocked to hear casual anti-Islamic views by people who didn’t know they were talking about her own faith.
For Susa, Bijedic and Karamehic-Muratovic, Islamophobia is real…..
Now, she studies the impact the war had on her community’s mental health.
“Many Bosnians that you will meet here have been in detention camps, including women,” she says.
“It is very hard to establish a normal life, and go to work, and worry about normal daily routine things when you’ve been through such an ordeal.”
Children of the refugees also have problems. Quicker to learn English than their parents, they often served as translators, which changed the power dynamic in homes.
They also often feel torn between their Bosnian culture and the American influences. Drugs and delinquency are a concern.
Karamehic-Muratovic, who is married to a Bosnian refugee and has three children under the age of five. She takes them back to her home country every year to remind them of their roots.
“I think teaching kids your culture and who you are and where they come from can serve as a protective factor,” she says…”
“… “In Bosnia the government targeted them for extermination. They didn’t think the US government would do that, but especially when you’re fresh of the boat, as they say, there was a little bit of fear.”
Thanks to the rise of Donald Trump and his anti-refugee, anti-Muslim speeches, Bosnian-Americans may be finding their political voice.
“In this election, given some of the rhetoric coming from one of the candidates, they really are concerned about the future and what that would mean for them personally,” Delkic says.
If the first generation of Bosnian refugees are sometimes reluctant to speak out, Delkic says, their children, who are attending universities and entering the white-collar workforce, are more eager to participate.
It is only a matter of time – 10 or 15 years, she says – before they make their voices heard.”
This is crazy.
You got that right, the government in Bosnia is Moslem controlled, it is the Serbs they are forcing out not Moslems.
I want to see more the Moslem accounts before I believe most of what is in the article.
As Brazil veers right, evangelical bishop elected Rio mayor
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – An evangelical bishop was elected mayor of Rio de Janeiro on Sunday in a second round of municipal voting that cemented a rout of the leftist party and allies who dominated Brazil’s presidency and major cities for over a decade.
Marcelo Crivella, a controversial conservative who is a senator, bishop and nephew of the founder of an evangelical megachurch, defeated a progressive former schoolteacher to run Brazil’s second biggest city by a margin of nearly 20 percentage points.
The 59-year-old pastor weathered an uproar over past criticism of homosexuality and Catholicism, the dominant religion in Latin America’s largest country, by distancing himself from those comments and vowing to govern for Rio’s residents, not the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, the influential congregation from which he hails.
In a victory speech to supporters in a working-class Rio neighborhood, he promised to “take care of people,” echoing campaign vows to improve deficient public services, from health to transport to sanitation, that complicate day-to-day life for the blue-collar voters who supported his candidacy.
Crivella’s victory, partly fueled by the growing influence of evangelical voters, fortifies a rightward shift in Brazil following the 13-year reign of the leftist Workers Party, which presided over a long economic boom before cratering during the recession and an historic corruption scandal.

Forget Private Villas, the Super Rich Are Now Renting the Whole Resort
Destination birthday parties are overtaking destination weddings as the next big thing.
Other than at your wedding, when else will you have the chance to bring everyone you love under one roof, with an open bar, to celebrate and toast and laugh into the early hours of the night?
Most people would say never. But some travel insiders beg to differ.
“Americans nowadays want to get together and celebrate, whether it’s a graduation, or a birthday, or a wedding,” said Frederik Vidal, general manager of Rosewood’s Las Ventanas, a five-star resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. “They’ll take any reason to throw a party.” And by throw a party, he means really throw a party—and buy out a whole resort.

Venezuelan president threatens to jail opponents
Caracas (AFP) – Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro threatened on Friday to jail his political opponents if they follow through on their vow of launching a legislative trial to remove him from power.
Shrugging off a partially-observed strike which the opposition called to raise pressure on him, the socialist president went on the counterattack.
Maduro sharpened the tone in a volatile political and economic crisis that has sparked food shortages and riots in the South American oil producer.
“If they launch a supposed political trial, which is not in our constitution, the state prosecution service must bring legal action in the courts and put in jail anyone who violates the constitution, even if they are members of Congress,” Maduro said in a speech Friday.

Tired of Counting Piles of Cash, Venezuelans Start Weighing Them
At a delicatessen counter in eastern Caracas, Humberto Gonzalez removes slices of salty white cheese from his scale and replaces them with a stack of bolivar notes handed over by his customer. The currency is so devalued and each purchase requires so many bills that instead of counting, he weighs them.
“It’s sad,” Gonzalez says. “At this point, I think the cheese is worth more.”

Pakistani Police Detain 1,500 in Crackdown on Opposition (abcnews, Oct 31, 2016)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pakistan-court-bars-opposition-holding-street-rally-43186707
“Pakistani police launched a nation-wide crackdown overnight, arresting at least 1,500 supporters of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan ahead of an opposition rally planned later this week in Islamabad, officials said Monday.
The arrests followed intermittent clashes over the weekend between Khan’s supporters and riot police in the capital that saw police using tear gas and batons to fight stone-throwing activists.
The violence erupted again Monday when police fired tear gas on nearly 3,000 supporters on a main highway some 80 kilometer northwest of Islamabad. Khan’s party rules in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and its chief minister, Pervez Khattak, and some cabinet ministers led the protesters…”
Turkey Detains Opposition Newspaper Editor, Writers (abcnews, Oct 31, 2016)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/opposition-paper-turkey-editor-columnist-detained-43185660
“Turkish police detained the chief editor and at least 12 senior staff of Turkey’s opposition Cumhuriyet newspaper on Monday, in a widening crackdown on dissenting voices.
Editor-in-chief Murat Sabuncu, cartoonist Musa Kart, the paper’s lawyer and several columnists were detained, some following raids at their homes, Cumhuriyet reported on its website. Police had warrants for the detentions of 16 staff members, the paper said.
The detentions at the left-leaning and pro-secular Cumhuriyet — one of Turkey’s oldest newspapers — come amid accusations by opposition parties and human rights groups that Turkey’s government is using the state of emergency imposed following a failed military coup in July to clamp down not only on the alleged coup plotters but on all government critics.
A statement from the Istanbul chief prosecutor’s office said those detained were suspected of “committing crimes” on behalf of the movement led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen — accused by the government of masterminding the coup attempt — as well as the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK.
while those detained are not accused of membership of the Gulen movement or the PKK, there are “claims” and “proof” that shortly before the July 15 coup attempt, the suspects published content that attempted to legitimize the coup, the statement said. Gulen, who lives in the United States, has denied any involvement in the coup attempt.
Authorities have arrested close to 37,000 people following the coup and more than 100,000 people have been dismissed or suspended from government jobs in a purge to eradicate Gulen’s network. Over the weekend, the government issued two new decrees that dismissed 10,000 additional civil servants and shut down 15 more mostly pro-Kurdish media outlets.
Sibel Gunes, general secretary of the Turkish Journalists’ Association, told The Associated Press that 170 media outlets have been shut down since the attempted coup and 105 journalists have been arrested. Authorities revoked the press accreditation of more than 700 journalists while thousands of journalists are unemployed, Gunes said.
Opposition politicians rushed to Cumhuriyet’s headquarters in Istanbul and its office in the capital Ankara in a show of solidarity. Hundreds of demonstrators also gathered, chanting anti-government slogans…”

The Gulen Movement: Turkey’s Islamic Supremacist Cult and its Contributions to the Civilization Jihad
Islamic Supremacism Does Business in U.S. via a Turkish Cult:
It has become increasingly apparent that the United States is not only confronting a violent effort by Islamic supremacists to impose the program they call shariah on the rest of the world, Muslim and non-Muslim, alike. Dangerous as jihadist terrorism is, America – and the rest of the Free World, for that matter – also face what amounts to a pre-violent assault.
The Muslim Brotherhood calls this stealthy, seditious effort to “destroy us from within” a “civilization jihad.” One of its prime practitioners in this country is the Gulen Movement, a cult/business empire led by a reclusive Turkish expatriate, Fethullah Gulen, who operates from within an armed camp in the Poconos.

RT- Netherlands: 43% of Dutch want less Moroccans – Geert Wilders’ lawyer claims
Geert-Jan Knoops, lawyer of Dutch far-right Freedom Party (PVV) politician Geert Wilders, defended his client at the Schiphol Court, Monday morning, against charges of incitement of hatred against Moroccan immigrants.
Knoops stated on behalf of Wilders: “Millions of Dutchmen, 43 percent of the population, want less Moroccans. Not because they hate all Moroccans, or want all Moroccans to leave the country, but because they are fed up with the nuisance and terror of that many Moroccans.” He went on to say that if someone considers it to be “punishable, then the Netherlands is no longer a free country, but a dictatorship.”
Toronto PD’s Muslim Chaplain: Wives Must Be Available for Sex
The city police department’s new chaplain to its Muslim officers holds rather archaic and sexist views when it comes to the role of women
http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/toronto-pd%E2%80%99s-muslim-chaplain-wives-must-be-available-sex
The Toronto police department has appointed a new chaplain to service its Muslim officers.
As reported by CIJ News, Musleh Khan was born in Medina, Saudi Arabia but raised in Toronto. He obtained a BA in Islamic Law from the Islamic University in Madinah in Saudi Arabia.
The chaplain not only helps Muslim police officers but also serves as a community chaplain. “If they ever are confused about certain behaviors or rhetoric thrown out on behalf of Islam, I’d like for them to have someone authentic, that has studied the religion and can say, ‘Hey, I can explain this to you’,” Khan says.
The police department says Khan’s goal is to provide support and bridge gaps. Yet, there is one gap not being addressed: the gap between men and women inherent in his teachings – and that of “authentic Islam,” as he claims.
In 2013, Khan taught a webinar titled The Heart of the Home: The Rights and Responsibilities of the Wife.
Yikes!
Is ISIS Acid-Rain Cloud Headed for Turkish Tourism Hotspots?
Acid rain could pour down in Turkey after ISIS set fire to the Middle East’s largest sulphur plant. Meteorologists say risk is low.
Media – British in particular – is reporting concern over acid rain possibly falling on major tourism areas in Turkey. The warnings followed news that the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) torched the largest sulphur plant in the Middle East, which is located close to Mosul in Iraq.
Hundreds of Iraqis were injured as a result of the ISIS attack:

The Changing Face of Germany: Infiltration by ISIS Operatives
Recent incidents point to a country struggling to come to grips with a new Islamist reality on the ground.
A 19-year-old operative from the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has been charged in a terrorism case. German prosecutors say Shaas al-M. (who cannot be identified further due to his age) joined the Islamic State at age 16 while he was still in Syria.
After undergoing military training and working for the organization as a guard, prosecutors say he offered to come to Germany to carry out an attack and facilitate other members of the terror group to carry out an attack.
Shaas al-M. left for Germany in mid-2015. He had allegedly already scouted out sites in Berlin for an attack when arrested. He was formally charged last week with membership in a terrorist organization and breaking arms control laws.

German Streets Descend into Lawlessness
“We are losing control of the streets.”

October 31, 2016 at 5:30 am
The rape of a ten-year-old girl in Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony, has drawn renewed attention to the spiraling levels of violent crime perpetrated by migrants in cities and towns across Germany — and the lengths to which German officials and the media go to censor information about the perpetrators of those crimes.
The girl was riding her bicycle to school at seven o’clock in the morning on October 27 when a man ambushed her, threw her to the ground and raped her. The suspect is described as being in his mid-thirties with short brown hair and a stubble beard.
Leipzig police have explicitly refused to say whether the suspect is a migrant, but have implicitly admitted that he is. They published a facial composite of the suspect with the politically correct warning:

India and UNESCO: Historical View vs. Jihad View

One wonders what India’s Permanent Delegation to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is doing in Paris today. India joined it way back on November 4, 1946. Given the potential of this cultural agency in spreading enlightenment derived from scientific education and fostering development throughout the world, New Delhi sent to the organization internationally acclaimed philosopher and future President, S. Radhakrishnan as a member. He rose to become its chairman during 1948-49. New Delhi’s abstention from voting on the October 18 resolution in UNESCO’s Executive Board, however, indicates the Indian delegation now in Paris is absolutely ineffective.
In a 24-6 vote, the Executive Board ratified a resolution that refers to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and its adjoining Western Wall solely by their Muslim names of Al-Haram Al-Sharif and the “Buraq Wall.” The nations that voted for it included: Brazil, China, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Morocco, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Russia, South Africa, and Vietnam.
The six countries that voted “no” were Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States.
Those that abstained included: Albania, Argentina, Cameroon, El Salvador, France, Ghana, Greece, Guinea, Haiti, India, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kenya, Nepal, Paraguay, Saint Vincent and Nevis, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda and Ukraine.
Hillary Clinton and the President’s ‘Longer Game.’
At home and abroad, a nation less affluent, less free, and far less secure.
The President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, used a pseudonym to communicate with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her private, unsecured email server. As Andrew McCarthy contended, that was the reason the FBI declined to prosecute Clinton, because the president would have been part of the same action, and that wouldn’t be politically correct.
The current president of the United States is also on record that, contrary to custom, he will linger in Washington DC for a few years. Wherever he chooses to live, the email intrigue suggests continuing back-channel communications with Hillary Clinton, should she become president. That invites a look at what the man the New York Times dubbed “Obama’s narrator,” the White House adviser who sat closest to the president and signed off on his every word, had to say about the president’s vision of the future.
“Few of the decisions he had made would satisfy the politics of the moment,” David Axelrod explained in his massive 2015 Believer. “But at home and abroad, Obama was playing a longer game.” As he explained in Columbia, Missouri, on October 30, 2008, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

Is Hillary Panicking Over the FBI and Weiner Emails?
October 31, 2016
Daniel Greenfield
These past few days have seen a major shift in the Clinton tactics. During the original investigation, the Clinton campaign and its political and media allies launched attacks at Republicans for “wasting time” investigating Hillary, but did not attack the FBI. It misrepresented FBI statements, but it certainly did not target investigators in the way we’re seeing now.
But now we have open hostilities between Lynch at the DOJ and the FBI. We have the Clinton campaign circulating a letter attacking the FBI. We have countless media hit pieces aimed at the FBI.
The obvious question is why. The Clinton campaign kept its cool, at least to some degree, before. It certainly didn’t begin an ill-advised campaign against the FBI. That’s the kind of tactic that may play to your core base, but alienates everyone else. That is to say everyone who isn’t in the media.
So what’s going on here?

Hillary’s Two Official Favors To Morocco Resulted In $28 Million For Clinton Foundation (dailycaller, Oct 31, 2016)
http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/31/hillarys-two-official-favors-to-morocco-resulted-in-28-million-for-clinton-foundation/
“Hillary Clinton did two huge favors for Morocco during her tenure as secretary of state while the Clinton Foundation accepted up to $28 million in donations from the country’s ruler, King Mohammed VI, according to new information obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group.
Clinton and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Lisa Jackson tried to shut down the Florida-based Mosaic Company in 2011, operator of America’s largest phosphate mining facility.
Jackson’s close ties and loyalty to the Clintons were revealed when she joined the Clinton Foundation’s board of directors in 2013, just months after she left the EPA. Jackson is also close to John Podesta, Clinton’s national campaign chairman.
Morocco’s state-owned phosphate company, OCP, would ostensibly have benefited from Jackson’s move to shut down Mosaic. Mohammed donated up to $15 million to the Clinton Foundation through OCP.
Clinton also relaxed U.S. foreign aid restrictions on Morocco, thus allowing U.S. funds to be used in the territory of Western Sahara where OCP operates phosphate mining operations. The aid restrictions stemmed from Morocco’s illegal occupation of the territory since 1974.
Morocco is repeatedly condemned for seizing the territory and for unilaterally extracting the country’s valuable minerals, impoverishing what’s left of the local Sahrawi Arabs.
No nation recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over the Western Sahara and the United Nation’s Security Council legal office and the International Court of Justice both demand that Muhammed withdraw his claim over the territory and end illegal extraction of minerals.
An email WikiLeaks made public last week illustrated how Clinton, while acting as secretary of state, negotiated an additional $12 million donation to the Clinton Foundation from Muhammed in return for holding the 2015 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) meeting in Marrakech, Morocco. Another $1 million payment came from OCP to cover the expenses of the CGI meeting. (RELATED: Hillary Got $12 Million for Clinton Charity As Quid Pro Quo For Morocco Meeting)
The regulatory assault against the U.S. phosphate industry began in earnest when Jackson launched a barrage of intimidating regulatory initiatives against Mosaic. Environmental concerns about phosphates date from 1979 but the EPA did little to address concerns related to phosphate mining until Jackson’s 2011 moves.
The regulatory assault on the U.S. phosphate industry encompassed several agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS aircraft flew at low altitudes over Mosaic’s central Florida operations in search of environmental problems. The EPA also threatened large Superfund penalties, which could have bankrupted Mosaic.
Phosphates are essential ingredients in fertilizers used in American farming. Closing or reducing Mosaic’s output would have cost tens of thousands of American jobs and injured the country’s agricultural productivity.
It also would leave the U.S. dependent upon foreign phosphate producers, but particularly Morocco’s OCP. The only other countries that mine phosphates are Russia, China and Saudi Arabia.
Rep. Dennis Ross, a Republican congressman who represents the Florida district where Mosaic operates, told TheDCNF he now sees why the EPA went after Mosaic.
“The tactics makes perfect sense as to why the EPA, under Lisa Jackson’s tutelage, targeted Mosaic’s phosphate operations in my district. I was never given any answers when I questioned Lisa Jackson about the EPA’s deliberate actions against Mosaic,” Ross told TheDCNF.
“Now I know why. An environmental concern never existed. This targeting was all done as a payback to Morocco for donating millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation,” Ross said.
An uproar from Florida regulators push-back from the state’s congressional delegation and the agency’s tenuous legal position all forced the EPA to end its threats against Mosaic.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who is vice-chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and a vocal critic of the Clinton Foundation, agreed with Ross, saying “these facts seem to reveal the possibility of more pay-to-play activities at the Clinton Foundation.”
“It would be especially troubling if the Clinton Foundation was working with the EPA to suppress the American phosphate industry in favor of Morocco. The EPA and Clinton Foundation should be forthcoming about their dealings with the Moroccan government and the American phosphate industry.”
Clinton’s 2012 support of a rider on the U.S. foreign aid bill permitting foreign aid to be sent to the Western Sahara arguably legitimized Moroccan occupation of territory and depopulated the Sahrawi Arabs. Native Moroccans were sent into the country by the government to extract the minerals.
The rider approved by Clinton said that U.S. foreign aid funds “may be used in regions and territories administered by Morocco,” meaning, the Western Sahara. The Western Sahara is classified a “Non-Self-Governing Territory” under international law.
“Previously, United States excluded Western Sahara from bilateral assistance to avoid seeming to endorse Moroccan control,” said Eugene Kontororvich, a professor at Northwestern University School of Law, in a legal review of occupied territories around the world.
Hans Corell, the U.N. Security Council’s Under-Secretary for Legal Affairs, said in January 2002 that “if further exploration and exploitation activities were to proceed in disregard of the interests and wishes of the people of Western Sahara, they would be in violation of the international law principles applicable to mineral resource activities in Non-Self-Governing Territories.”
A Dec. 10, 2015 report by the International Court of Justice ruled that “the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over Western Sahara is not recognized by the European Union or its Member States, or more generally by the UN, and the absence of any international mandate capable of justifying Moroccan presence on that territory.”
But none of that mattered to former President Bill Clinton, who said nothing about the world’s condemnation of Morocco’s exploitation of the area for its phosphate industry, while speaking at the Clinton Foundation’s 2015 Marrakech CGI conference. Instead, he praised it.
“The Moroccans who are here will tell you that in the last several years, they have become the Saudi Arabia of phosphates, and what they have done with it, to diversify their economy and to make it part of a comprehensive strategy instead of another example of resource curse, is very impressive indeed,” Clinton said.
“Hillary Clinton sold her soul when they accepted that money,” reported Politico the day after the Marrakech CGI conference.”
Judge rules audio from 911 calls to and from Pulse shooter be immediately released
It was an emotional morning in an Orange County courtroom as the city of Orlando and family members of the victims of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub fought to prevent the release of more 911 calls from the incident.
On Monday, the judge ruled that the audio from all calls made by or to the gunman be released immediately.
The judge will first listen to the remaining 232 calls before ruling on those.
Six people testified on behalf of the victims in the deadly attack. Their opinions split, with some wanting to hear the calls or at least read transcripts. Others were completely against the release of the 911 audio, saying it would be just too painful to hear.
Media outlets asking for the release of the audio said it’s important to know how those who responded handled the situation that day.

Judge: Release audio of Pulse gunman’s 911 calls
Lawyers for the City of Orlando and media companies have argued for months about what to do with 911 recordings that may have captured the sounds of 49 people dying inside Pulse, an Orlando nightclub, at the hands of a gunman.
Today family members of those who died told an Orlando judge what they want.
Four spoke for themselves. Two sent lawyers. Circuit Judge Margaret Schreiber listened to each.
Three said they would have no objection to a written transcript of the calls being made public.
Two urged the judge to keep them private.
One waffled.
The judge made no ruling. She’ll listen to the 232 calls and decide whether any, or all should be made public.
She also ordered the city to release the calls that the gunman made to 911 and conversations he had with police during the standoff. They could be available later today
The first family member to testify today was Aileen Carrillo, whose brother Simon Adrian Carrillo Fernandez, died. She told the judge that she does not want any recording of her brother’s voice to be made public but she, herself, wants to listen.
A lawyer for the parents of the youngest victim, 18-year-old Akyra Murray, urged the judge to release the calls in transcript form.
Her parents, Albert and Natalie Murray, were told that their daughter “bled out” during the standoff, Richard Klineburger III told the judge.
They had received a call from her while she was trapped inside, Klineburger said, and they had rushed to the scene.
They think the release of that information will help create a time line and allow people to better understand what happened, Klineburger said.
“We don’t know what happened,” he said. “When it comes down to transparency needed, in order for the family to know what occurred, the pain that will come with releasing those tapes can’t be any greater than what they’ve already experienced in this loss.”
Another woman whose son, Eddie Justice, was killed, said she objects to the release of the calls in any form. “I know what happened. I don’t need to hear,” she told the judge.
The recordings were made June 12 when gunman Omar Mateen opened fire at the gay nightclub south of downtown Orlando, killing 49 and wounding more than 50 others.
Attorneys for two dozen media companies, including the Orlando Sentinel, have pushed for their release, saying they will allow the public to evaluate whether the Orlando Police Department responded appropriately.
Mateen started shooting about 2 a.m., holed up in the club for three hours and was killed after 5 a.m. after the Orlando police SWAT team punched holes in the back wall with an armored vehicle.
Media companies have been fighting for the release of the 603 recordings since a few days after the massacre. The city originally refused, saying they were part of an FBI investigation, but a police captain testified several weeks ago that the FBI only had use for 70 of them and that as of Sept. 2, they were no longer needed.
The city then modified its position. It released more than 200 of them but said it could not release the others, arguing it was prohibited by law because they captured the sounds of people dying.
Specifically at issue now is 232 recordings which originated from the club or went to people inside.
Media attorney Rachel Fugate said many may not include the sounds of anyone dying. There’s no reason for those to be kept secret, she said.
And if the calls do capture the sounds of someone dying and they are graphic, she argued, the judge could allow members of the media to listen to them but not record them.
City Attorney Darryl Bloodworth urged the judge to keep the recordings private.
“I cannot imagine a more serious invasion of privacy,” he said.
It’s not clear how much weight the judge will give to the wishes of family members.

African migrants storm border in Spanish enclave Ceuta
About 220 African migrants forced their way through a barbed wire fence into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta on Monday, clashing with Spanish police who tried to prevent them from crossing the border with Morocco.
Thirty-two migrants were treated in hospital for minor injuries after pushing their way through two gates just before 2 a.m. ET, while three Spanish policemen also needed medical attention, the government said.
Several migrants collapsed from exhaustion after crossing into Spanish territory, Reuters photographs showed. Their legal status in Spain has yet to be determined, and police were searching for some who fled into hills inside the territory, it said.
Spain’s two enclaves in Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla, have been favored entry points into Europe for African migrants, who either climb over their border fences or swim along their coastlines.
After thousands crossed over in 2014 and 2015, Spain stepped up security, partly funded by European authorities, and passed a law enabling its border police to refuse refugees the opportunity to apply for asylum.
Since then Libya has become a more common departure point for African migrants, most from sub-Saharan countries, who attempt the crossing to Italy in rickety boats that often break down or sink. More 3,740 migrant deaths have been recorded this year in the central Mediterranean, most along that route.

Germany: PEGIDA march met by counter-protest in Dresden
DAILY MAIL – Syrian migrant goes on the run in Denmark after his 27-year-old wife and two daughters are found dead in his freezer
Mother, 27, and daughters, seven and nine, found in freezer at apartment
Relative called police saying they had not heard from the family for days
Husband was not at the flat, in Aabenraa, Denmark, when police arrived
Manhunt is underway to find the Syrian, who was not in the apartment
A Syrian migrant is on the run in Denmark after his wife and two daughters were found dead in his freezer, it has emerged.
The bodies of the 27-year-old mother and her seven and nine-year-old daughters were found at their apartment in the Danish city of Aabenraa.
Detectives in the southern city say the woman’s husband wasn’t in the apartment when they arrived and have launched a manhunt.
Police found the bodies after a concerned relative said they had not heard from the family for days.
Investigators said today that the victims had been killed but did not give any further details.
The Syrian family arrived in Denmark in 2015 and were granted refugee status.
A police spokesman said: ‘Police went into the apartment and found the three bodies in a freezer.
The victim’s husband and the father of the two children was not in the apartment, and we are actively searching for him,’ the statement added.
The Syrian family arrived in Denmark in 2015 and were granted refugee status.
The Scandinavian nation welcomed 21,000 migrants in 2015. The influx has significantly slowed since Denmark re-established border controls in early 2016.

‘It’s Disgraceful That Israel Is Sending Its President to Jail’
Residents of Moshe Katsav’s hometown Kiryat Malakhi express dismay over the prison sentence handed to the former president after he was convicted of rape and other sexual offenses.
http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/it-s-disgraceful-that-israel-is-sending-its-president-to-jail-1.351172
From Israeli Prime Minister to Prisoner
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-02-16/from-israeli-prime-minister-to-prisoner
[…] Apart from the legal precedent and aside from all the tragedies — personal, familial and national — the situation is also a logistical nightmare. As a former prime minister, the Shin Bet’s VIP Security Unit provides Olmert with a security detail 24/7, no matter where he goes. He travels in a government limo and his home and office are under constant protection because Olmert is considered one of Israel’s “emblems of government” who requires round-the-clock security.
The reason for that is simple: Olmert knows state secrets. He knows everyone and everything. Some of the most intricate and important classified military decisions were made personally by him. Someone like him would be a treasure trove of information for terrorist groups or foreign intelligence agencies. How can such a person be sent to prison?
The first question raised was what would happen with his security once he begins his sentence. Will the former prime minister bring his security detail to prison with him? Since Israel has never faced this kind of dilemma before, the prison service and the Shin Bet were forced to ponder the problem in depth before coming up with a special protocol to handle the logistics.
It was decided that the VIP Security Unit will remain outside the prison walls, only joining Olmert in the event that he leaves the prison on furlough. Within the prison itself, he will be protected by a team of security guards who received special training under Shin Bet supervision. It isn’t every day that a prime minister becomes an ordinary prisoner, so the system must get used to dealing with this bizarre situation.
Another question raised was whether Olmert would be allowed to serve his sentence with other prisoners. The authorities came up with a creative solution here. A new wing, “Division 10,” was created in the minimum-security Maasiyahu Prison. Olmert will be kept in a cell designed for three prisoners in an isolated wing that will house only white-collar criminals, traffic offenders and other inmates convicted of bribery. Prisoners who will be in contact with him will be screened first. The prime minister’s cell will be covered by security cameras, which will keep track of everything happening there 24/7, and a special sentry will be posted by the door. Olmert will not come into contact with any unvetted prisoners, out of fear that they might attack him or attempt to extort him.
Since this, his prison sentence has been lengthened.
“It isn’t every day that a prime minister becomes an ordinary prisoner…”
Maybe we can hire Olmert’s squad to train whatever team it is that ends up protecting Hillary while she’s serving time.
HILLARY FOR PRISON IN 2016!
It is the single greatest testament to a democracy that the law applies fairly and equally to all.
Before the USA became the third world toilet it is now, I used to argue with my fellow Canadians constantly who loved to look down their noses at the US. As if Canada was superior somehow.
I would point out that, at that time, at any given time the US has around 400 elected people in jail. While in Canada, we never have ay elected reps ever jailed.
That is because Canada is not a democracy. There are different laws for special people.
Former PM Jean Chretien who earned something like 150K/year for his time in office, retired with a large multiple of that sum when he left. His political scandal where he used tax dollars to get Quebec firms to subvert the democratic process by printing additional campaign materials for Liberals while many party chiefs walked away fat rich with tax payer money went unpunished.
No one went to jail or suffered any real consequences, even though it was the single largest scandal in Canadian political history. At least that made the press. The CBC after all, is as notoriously corrupt and partisan as MSNBC on its worst day.
So the USA was always, as I think Reagan said, “A shining city on a hill” to me.
A land where the law was applied to all. And you could count on fair treatment. And the authorities where there to help the law abiding and the productive.
What a shame to see pretty much one or two families ruin all that.
When i heard Israel jailed a PM my heart filled with pride for them.
Congratulations Israel for reminding the world how democracy is supposed to look.
Now lets jail Obama, both Clintons and a stray Kennedy or two.
“Now lets jail Obama, both Clintons and a stray Kennedy or two.”

“Choi Sun-sil is different from these figures in the sense that she appropriated the authority of the government in a democratic republic, in which sovereignty belongs to the people.”
This is very disappointing news. South Korea is one of the more important post-WWII economic success stories with respect to East Asia’s “mini-dragons” (which include Japan and Taiwan). Sadly, the historic notion of how, “sovereignty belongs to the people”, remains an elusive concept, at best throughout the region. Far too much of Western Pacific history has been one of authoritarian or emperor-based rule.
Equally significant is how South Korea has become one of the most rapidly expanding Christian populations in all of East Asia. Regardless of whatever beliefs one may hold or deem important, this shift away from Buddhist tenets represents a serious challenge to Communist China’s established policy of enforced atheism.
In this same respect, South Korea’s dynamic, free market, industrial powerhouse also stands for a much-needed emblem of the prosperity and economic freedom which liberating Western powers were able to transmit during (or after) the Korean War. This is no small issue as the looming threat of North Korean tyranny desperately requires a manifest counterbalance, especially so in light of Communist China’s obscene perpetuation of one of the world’s most oppressive regimes.
“The Choi Sun-sil scandal reveals that democracy in South Korea is not even at the level of a feudal monarchy.”
This is, perhaps,the most disturbing of all. It is vital to note how the political economics of South Korea (especially amongst the chaebol) reflect a disturbingly mixed bag of domestic and offshore interests. Few issues symbolize this better than the prospects of peninsular reunification for the two Koreas.
It is my understanding that the chaebol’s investment in Communist China is so large that they find reunification a potential flashpoint with Beijing. Also, in light of Germany’s reunification bill of more than a trillion dollars, the parsimonious chaebol are more than a little gun shy at the prospect of spending far more than Germany did to upgrade the thoroughly deteriorated North.
Any insights you have would be welcome.
WikiLeaks: Donna Brazile Gave Hillary Camp Additional Debate Question Ahead of Time
The latest release from WikiLeaks reveals that DNC honcho Donna Brazile sent John Podesta, chairman of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, a question that was to be asked at the CNN primary debate between Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders.
Brazile is currently the interim chair of the Democrat National Committee but was a CNN contributor when the email was sent.

Half of Russians Fear Syria Could Spark WWIII
MOSCOW (AFP) – Nearly half of Russians fear that Moscow’s bombing campaign in Syria could spark World War III, a poll showed Monday.
Moscow, an ally of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, has been staging bombing raids in Syria since September 2015.
Forty-eight percent of Russians were concerned that “heightened tensions in relations between Russia and the West could grow into World War III,” according to a poll conducted by independent pollster Levada Centre last week.
That figure was up from 29 percent in July this year.
Moscow’s air strikes have negatively affected the way Russia is perceived internationally, 32 percent said, up from 16 percent in November.
Nevertheless, 52 percent of Russians said they back Moscow’s air strikes, while 26 percent said they opposed them.
Asked whether Russia should continue “intervening in what is going on in Syria,” 49 percent said yes, while 28 percent said no.

Meanwhile, in South Korea…
The Choi Sun-sil scandal and the slavery of South Korea’s leadership class
Heinous corruption was possible because South Korea’s leaders were busy groveling before the president
As revelations continue to emerge about Choi Sun-sil’s corruption and her manipulation of the South Korean government, shock and anger are sweeping the country. Amid jokes about “The Republic of Choi Sun-sil” and frustration about the abysmal state of the government, children are calling for Park to step down or be impeached, and “emergency declarations” and protests are spreading like wildfire. The country almost seems to be on the verge of a revolution.
Choi Sun-sil’s shameless behavior is obviously bizarre. What is even more astounding is that her unethical, irregular and outright illegal acts were observed without any opposition for the past four years not only by the government, the ruling Saenuri Party and large conglomerates (and of course the Blue House) but also by schools and universities. How could this have happened?
Choi Sun-sil is frequently compared to Shin Don during the reign of King Gongmin of the Goryeo Dynasty or to Rasputin in Czarist Russia. But Shin Don and Rasputin were figures from feudal society, when the king and the state were the same thing. Choi Sun-sil is different from these figures in the sense that she appropriated the authority of the government in a democratic republic, in which sovereignty belongs to the people. The Choi Sun-sil scandal reveals that democracy in South Korea is not even at the level of a feudal monarchy.
[…]
Government ministers, chaebol, politicians, professors and other “slaves in the leadership class” all wield absolute authority over the organizations that are under their control. Just as they act like slaves to those above them, they are cruel taskmasters to those below them. The public servants, workers, party members and students under their control are forced to behave like slaves.
[…]
A society that is ruled by people with authoritarian personalities can never become democratic. Such people may proclaim a democratic republic, hold elections and espouse the rule of law, but all of that is only a facade. A society dominated by authoritarianism and a slave mentality is nothing but a slave democracy.
The parade of brazen lies made by the people ruling this country shows that they see the public as slaves. Lies are habitual to a master dealing with his slaves. For those who regard the public as slaves (or even as “dogs and pigs,” as Na Hyang-wook, a former Education Ministry official said), a lie is no big deal. Lying to slaves doesn’t even prick their conscience.
In a slave democracy, elections don’t guarantee real democracy, either. In reality, they’re just a formality in which the slaves vote for their new masters every four or five years.
The problem is not Choi Sun-sil but democracy. This scandal must be taken as an opportunity to bring about a qualitative improvement in South Korean democracy. South Koreans must move from nominal democracy to legitimate democracy, from democratic slavery to democratic sovereignty. […]

Women executives left Yahoo amid layoffs, deal talk (reuters, Oct 31, 2016)

“Women executives left Yahoo Inc at an unusually high rate after the U.S. technology company announced plans to sell itself earlier this year, but it was not immediately clear why, according to the company’s 2016 diversity report, released on Monday.
The sharp drop comes as Silicon Valley faces pressure to diversify a workforce heavily dominated by white and Asian men.
The last year has been turbulent for the web pioneer, which in February announced it would explore alternatives and put in motion a plan to cut about 15 percent of its workforce. In July, it struck a $4.8 billion deal to sell its core internet businesses to Verizon Communications Inc.
The number of women in Yahoo leadership roles slipped to 21 percent as at June 30, down from 24 percent the year before, the report showed. Women in non-technical jobs dropped to 52 percent from 54 percent. The total number of women at Yahoo remained steady at 31 percent.
Yahoo had 8,800 employees at the end of the second quarter, down from 9,400 as at March 31.
It was not clear why there was such a marked decline in the proportion of women leaders at Yahoo, which is led by Silicon Valley’s most powerful female CEO, Marissa Mayer.
“Women leaders organically left because other opportunities were more appropriate for them,” said Margenett Moore-Roberts, Yahoo’s global head of diversity and inclusion. She said most of the women executives who left did so voluntarily after the plan to sell the core company was announced.
She said Yahoo will use a combination of internal searches and promotions, outside recruitment and partnerships with women-focused tech organizations to balance the losses…”

German states seek to cut corners with young refugees (DW, Oct 31, 2016)

“Germany’s state governments want to lower standards for youth social work for unaccompanied underage refugees. According to UNICEF, that could leave traumatized youths vulnerable to organized crime and radicalization.
Germany’s state governments have decided unanimously to save money by calling on Berlin to allow them to downgrade the standard of social care that young refugees receive.
At a conference of Germany’s 16 state premiers in Rostock, northern Germany, the state governments asked Berlin to reclassify youth social work with young refugees as “Jugendwohnen” (youth housing).
This would allow governments to reduce the number of social workers assigned to help young refugees from one in four or five, the current standard, to one in 10 – or even more. The proposed change has met intense criticism among social work associations, which have described it as discriminatory.
“De facto, this resolution means that young refugees traveling alone will have worse standards than domestic young people,” former youth worker director Wolfgang Hammer told the “taz” newspaper. This would, he added, allow certain states to set up “second-class care” for underage refugee minors: “The resolution at the conference is a black day for a humane and open Germany.”…”
Unaccompanied minors’ rights at risk in Italy, EU agency (ansamed, Oct 31, 2016)

“(ANSAmed) – Brussels, October 31 – Rights’ protection for unaccompanied minors arriving in Europe is at risk and the response made at community level continues to be inadequate, according to a study by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) of the seven countries including Italy that have experienced the biggest migration movements over the last year. Providing “adequate specialised structures” for unaccompanied minors remains “a challenge” for various countris including Bulgaria, Hungary and Italy, the study found. Italy is also cited for the lack of information provided to minors “concerning their rights and international protection” and for the delay “of up to eight months” in the appointment of legal guardians that is an obstacle to “accessing reception facilities and family reunification”.
FRA said that asylum procedures for minors were an obstacle course and that in Italy, Greece and Belgium “they have often been started in the absence of a guardian”.
Italy has shown “the strongest local reluctance to take in” migrants and asylum seekers of the seven EU countries subject to the biggest influx of migrants over the last year, according FRA. The resistance was particularly strong “in small towns”, the study found.
FRA compared the situations in Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary and Sweden in the year starting September 2015. Though several EU countries including Italy, Austria and Germany have “made progress in improving the standard of reception”, negative reactions by local communities towards migrants and migrant reception facilities are “on the rise”. The protests are largely fuelled by the fear of “economic damage to the local population” and “a corrosion of legality”. “Xenophobic and racist” episodes were registered across all EU countries.
