  1. “Under Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act, rushed into law after the Leveson Inquiry, any relevant newspapers or news websites – from MailOnline to The Guardian, Huffington Post and Buzzfeed – which refuse to join a regulator approved under the Government’s Royal Charter for the Press, and are sued for libel, will be forced to pay the other side’s legal costs — even if they win.

    EVEN IF YOU WIN, YOU LOSE: If this law is implemented, it won’t matter if an article is true, lawfully published, serves the public interest, and the complaint is thrown out by the court — any relevant newspapers or news websites not signed up to an approved regulator will face paying all the costs, every single penny.

    FREE TICKET FOR CROOKS, BANKRUPTCY FOR NEWSPAPERS: Costs in High Court legal actions routinely run into hundreds of thousands of pounds — sometimes millions. This legislation gives anyone who wants to silence journalists a free ticket. News organisations that fight will face being bankrupted.”

        Socialists. Islam’s dhimmis. Lawfare, as in the Human Reich Courts of Canada.

  2. Former Chief Editor of the BILD Newspaper, now AfD political member(Sept 2016), gives his opinion of recent events in Berlin and concise analysis of Mama Merkel´s reaction:

    “Good day, the Chancellor spoke about the attack in Berlin. What did she say? First, she described it as an incomprehensible act. Excuse me, as what!? After 9/11, after the attacks in London, Madrid, Bali, Paris, Amsterdam, Brüssels, Copenhagen, Bombay, or the similar attacks – like the one in Nice – for her, the attack (in Berlin) is incomprehensible? STILL?

    Dear Madame Chancellor, please do wake up and do finally ask yourself who is actually attacking us again and again! For that there is a very clear answer. Don´t be such a coward, don´t avoid the question and don´t hide behind so-called incomprehension.

    “We are at war,” that is what President Hollande said, so why don´t you just finally name the enemy.

    Second, Madame Chancellor said the attack would be especially disgusting if the culprit was a refugee. HEAVEN HELP US! If we are able to definitively eliminate anything from this discussion, it would be that the culprit is a refugee. The driver of the tractor trailer isn´t a refugee – HE IS A TERRORIST. The only thing that connects him to the word “Refugee” is that he was DISGUISED as a refugee and was able to sneak his way into Germany, because Mrs. Merkel stopped all boarder controls. She is responsible for preventing any reasonable ability to differentiate between actual refugee and terrorists. Asylum seekers and refugee do not have anything to do with this attack. No, no, this only about the total loss of control that this incapable woman is responsible for that she, until this day does not want to correct.

    Thirdly, Madame Chancellor advises us that we should not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear. Oh, really!? A 40 ton tractor trailer filled with steel beams ploughs through Christmas market stalls with burning hot deep fryers and open fires -kills 12 citizens and injures numerous others- and the only thing the Chancellor has to offer is a phrase of wisdom taken from a calendar? “Don´t paralyzed by fear, just go on with your lives” Of course we´re going to do that, just like we did after Cologne, Würzburg, Arnsbach, and after the undetonated nail bomb from the 12 year old last week and the murder in Freiburg and the thousands of Sexual attacks all over the country.

    However, besides all of that, we would really like to know what the government has for plans. How are Christmas markets going to be protected now? What about Christmas church services or even this coming NEW YEAR´s EVE? How about now finally doing back ground checks on ALL those attempting to immigrate to Germany? Or maybe we should discuss what these new attacks on us mean to our relationship with Islam here in Germany. Summary – What action will the government take? Because obviously a government is voted in to take action, not for nice quotes from calendars.

    Actually, that is the most shocking thing of this speech – Merkel reveals who she really is. A women who still doesn´t know who is attacking or whom they are attacking AND she doesn´t even want to know or call it by it´s real name. She can´t even tell the difference between a refugee and a terrorist. Nor does she have a plan. It is the speech of an incompetent Chancellor. Her answer to the terrorist attack is “I have no answer -just accept it and go play a flute”. Anyone who talks like that not only has NO ANSWERS, but is heartless. Her apathetic, teleprompter-esque, monotone speech shows that the victims of the attack in Berlin are as meaningless to her as the victims of the previous attacks (this year in Germany). Her speech says, “your murdered victims and your fears do not interest me, they are just the price of my political decisions that I refuse to correct -for that reason a few people might have to die.”

    This cold and heartless woman is dangerous. She is a danger for your safety and a danger for the future of this country. Take both of these things out of her hands! Do not allow the imported terror from Mrs. Merkel to alter our country any further. Think about this at the next elections. Vote for the Alternative for Deutschland. Thank-you.”

  3. Opps. Didn´t proof read so good sorry.
    -differentiate between actual refugee(s) and terrorists.

  5. Exclusive: ISIS Puts Out Holiday Attack List Of U.S. Churches
    The terror group threatened “bloody celebrations in the Christian New Year”

    The Islamic State published the names and addresses of thousands of churches in the United States and called on its adherents to attack them during the holiday season, according to a message posted late-night Wednesday in the group’s “Secrets of Jihadis” social media group.

    A user going by the name of “Abu Marya al-Iraqi” posted an Arabic-language message calling “for bloody celebrations in the Christian New Year” and announced the group’s plans to utilize its network of lone wolf attackers to “turn the Christian New Year into a bloody horror movie, that will force [the infidels] to hide inside their burrows during their holidays and regret for the participation of their countries in the war against The Islamic State.”

    “The lone wolves will turn the streets into rivers of blood, by ramming, exploding and poisoning,” he wrote.

    The message appeared in a pro-ISIS group on Telegram which provides manuals for the use and preparations of weapons and explosives for aspiring assailants.

    In another group post, a member summoned “the sons of Islam” to target “churches, well-known hotels, crowded coffee shops, streets, markets and public places,” and shared a list of church addresses in the United States, as well as in Canada, France and the Netherlands.

  6. China tycoon moves jobs to US, citing high taxes at home

    Shanghai (AFP) – A Chinese auto glass tycoon has caused a stir by shifting part of his empire to the United States and setting up a factory in Ohio, citing high taxes and soaring labour costs at home.

    Cao Dewang’s $600-million investment comes after Donald Trump threatened to declare Beijing a currency manipulator and slap 45 percent punitive tariffs on Chinese imports to protect American jobs.

    The 70-year-old tycoon’s decision to open a glass factory in the eastern American state of Ohio in October — a rare case of jobs being exported from China to the US — triggered an outpouring of criticism on social media.

    The phrase “Cao Dewang has escaped” became a hot topic, generating nearly 10 million views on the Twitter-like Weibo microblog and many comments urging China to “not let Cao Dewang run away”.

    Cao’s Fuyao Glass Industry Group — a supplier to big names including Volkswagen and General Motors — claims to be the biggest exporter of auto glass in the world, reporting 2.6 billion yuan ($370 million) profits last year.

  7. Catalogue of blunders that left ‘Berlin terrorist’ free to kill

    The prime suspect for the Berlin massacre was under covert surveillance for months as a possible terrorist threat until police let him slip through their grasp earlier this month.

    Anis Amri, 24, a Tunisian asylum seeker who arrived in Germany last year, was investigated for “preparing a serious crime endangering national safety”, involving funding the purchase of automatic weapons for use in a terrorist attack.

    Amri had been arrested earlier this year and was known to be a supporter of the terrorist group thought to be behind the Sousse terrorist attack in Tunisia, as well as being a suspected disciple of a notorious hate preacher.

    The Berlin lorry massacre suspect offered himself up as an ISIS suicide bomber and took a sinister video of himself walking the streets of the German capital, it was revealed today.

    Anis Amri, 24, who has six aliases, three fake passports and repeatedly tried to change his appearance, was also learning how to make bombs and was barred from flying to America, US officials have revealed.

    One of his Facebook accounts only contains a picture of a lion – a key motif used by jihadists to symbolise honour – and a single video of himself walking through the centre of Berlin in September.

    German media claim it could have been a reconnaissance video.

  9. European populists link Berlin attack to Merkel policies

    London (AFP) – Populists across Europe have seized on the truck attack in Berlin as a way to criticise Germany’s immigration policy but key players have held back on jumping to conclusions as the investigation continues.

    Former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage, a key ally of US President-elect Donald Trump in Europe, said the attack which killed 12 people was “no surprise” and would be part of Merkel’s “legacy”.

    “Merkel has directly caused a whole number of social and terrorist problems in Germany, it’s about time we confronted that truth,” he told LBC radio on Tuesday.

    UKIP donor Arron Banks, who was also a key funder behind the Brexit campaign, tweeted that Merkel “might as well have” been driving the truck herself.

    A 23-year-old Pakistani asylum-seeker was arrested immediately after the incident on Monday after reportedly fleeing the scene but was released on Tuesday without charge.

    Twitter user Eylin Tabbert regularly lashed out against Hillary Clinton during the U.S. presidential campaign. Within hours of a truck plowing into a crowd at a Christmas market in Berlin, she turned her focus on a new target: Angela Merkel.

    “Blood on her hands: Merkel’s open borders blamed for refugee truck terrorist deaths,” Tabbert posted on Twitter, above a manipulated picture showing the chancellor spattered in blood beside an image of the truck used in the attack.

  11. Muslim students demand prayer rooms in every ‘major building’

    Students at the University of Maryland have released a list of 64 demands in their effort make the campus more amenable to “marginalized student populations.”

    The project, known as ProtectUMD, is a collaborative effort between 25 student organizations at the University of Maryland, including Students for Justice in Palestine, Bisexuals at Maryland, and the Black Student Union.

    There are 64 demands across 8 subsets of students—Marginalized, American Indian, Black, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, Muslim, Pro-Palestine, and Undocumented—including scholarships for “students of marginalized communities,” a ban on Columbus Day, beginning every on-campus event with an acknowledgement that “this is Indigenous Land,” that African American professors get tenure, that preferred pronouns are included on rosters, and that “queer diversity training” is required.

    Muslim students also want “one room in each major building designated for prayer” and “shuttle services to [the local mosque] for Muslim students to have access to a place of worship.”

    Among the Pro-Palestine demands, students want the administration to condemn the “conflation of Pro-Palestinian activism with Anti-Semitism,” claiming that “Pro-Palestinians do not reject the human rights of any group of people.”

    No Jewish student organizations have signed onto the list.

  12. Putin urges Russian nuclear weapons boost

    Moscow (AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called for the country to reinforce its military nuclear potential and praised the army’s performance in its Syria campaign.

    In a speech that recapped military activities in 2016, Putin said the army’s preparedness has “considerably increased” and called for continued improvement that would ensure it can “neutralise any military threat”.

    “We need to strengthen the military potential of strategic nuclear forces, especially with missile complexes that can reliably penetrate any existing and prospective missile defence systems,” the Kremlin strongman said.

    “We must carefully monitor any changes in the balance of power and in the political-military situation in the world, especially along Russian borders, and quickly adapt plans for neutralising threats to our country.”

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-calls-strengthening-russias-military-nuclear-potential-101800687.html

    • Trump needs to rip up the nuclear disarmament agreements and begin immediate expansion. We need to begin underground testing again at the minimum, to be even knowing if any of our nukes even work. This leftist charade of minimalist deterrence is not working at all with our potential enemies. We will know how effective this will be when the The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists begins moving their clock hands closer to midnight.

      • He has called for us to rebuild our nuclear deterrent and the left is throwing a hissy fit. We need to ensure that we have peace through superior firepower. This will send a message to China and North Korea that the adults are back in control and willing to make their major population centers and military bases flat glowing parking lots if the attack us.

    • This would require a Constitutional requiring a super majority to raise the tax rate or the Dems will raise it every year they are in power.

    • Ignore the arguments that this will reduce government revenue, the economic boost by the citizens and businesses keeping more of their own money will grow the economy and government revenues will grow with it. The more jobs created the more businesses started the more taxes paid and the private sector can’t grow without capital to invest. The higher the tax rates the less the private sector has to invest and the less the consumer has to buy needed and non needed but wanted items. The private sector is where economy growing jobs are created, the government is where economy sapping jobs are created.

  13. Opportunity and hope: The David Friedman nomination for ambassador to Israel
    By J.E. Dyer

    A lot has been written in the last week about Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. ambassador to Israel: David M. Friedman, a 57-year-old bankruptcy attorney who has worked with Trump for a number of years, and who holds Zionist and conservative views on issues relating to Israel.

    The New York Times and other mainstream-left outlets have been uniformly negative. That is to be expected. The harder left, also predictably, is beside itself. There will no doubt be more to come.

    Trump’s choice of Friedman does indicate that he intends to pursue a policy that will differ significantly from Obama’s. And it’s certainly a good call to expect a political “war” over that, as John Podhoretz does. The stake the American, Israeli, and larger Western left has driven into the long-running “two state solution” narrative can’t be extracted without some metaphorical bloodshed.

    But while I sympathize with a level of exhaustion and annoyance at the prospect of this “war,” I also see what’s coming as a tremendous opportunity. Instead of approaching the Senate confirmation process for Friedman in a defensive light, it’s time to go on offense.

  14. Left hypes witch-hunt terrors over Trump’s climate-policy spending questions
    By J.E. Dyer

    The Fake News left has a theme going. In light of Howard Portnoy’s report from earlier today, on the weak-sauce allegation that Trump pressured Kuwait to move an event to a Trump hotel, it’s no surprise that the suspect in this case is, once again, ThinkProgress.

    The theme is a different one, however.

    According to this theme, the incoming Trump administration is inaugurating witch hunts against climate experts and others who deal in science-related policy in the federal agencies.

    How is Team Trump mounting this malevolent effort? By asking question about how money is being spent by the agencies, and who is working on what.

    In the latest nefarious move, the Trump transition team has asked the State Department to detail its expenditures on international environmental groups and foreign climate programs.

    This McCarthyite probe has outlets like ThinkProgress beside themselves. Lest readers fail to understand the danger here, TP introduces it with a title and slug conveying dark-alley menace:

    Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, is headed to the White House, where she’ll serve as counsellor after he is sworn in as president, according to his transition team.

    Conway was Trump’s third campaign manager, and is widely credited with helping guide him to victory. She is also a frequent guest on television news programs.

  17. Senegalese Man Found Guilty in Murder of US Woman in Italy (abcnews, Dec 22, 2016)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/verdict-expected-case-american-woman-slain-florence-44341226

    “An Italian court on Thursday convicted a Senegalese man of murdering an American woman in her flat after they met at a nightclub, and sentenced him to 30 years in prison.

    Ashley Olsen, 35, was found dead in her apartment Jan. 9, 2016 after her boyfriend — an Italian artist in Florence — became alarmed when he hadn’t heard from her and asked the landlord to open the door. An autopsy found that she had been strangled and had suffered skull fractures…”

      • Attacks like that are coming to the US the question is when? The bombings in New Jersey and New York City to say nothing of the Boston Marathon bombing shows this. The US like Europe is headed for massive social unrest coupled with small scale terror attacks that will occur everywhere there are groups of people who are unaware of what is happening around them.

        There are several things that can be done to lower the danger the one that is the most obvious and least likely to be implemented without massive civil violence in Europe is to allow the private citizens to own, and carry firearms and to pass rational laws allowing them to use the firearms in self defense.

        The second thing is that when any Islamic refugee gets into legal trouble deport him and his family and do the same to all followers of Islam that refuse to assimilate into the base culture of their host nation.

        The third is to investigate and prosecute the families of terrorists who were living with their family when planning the terror attacks.

        Fourth is not let any person immigrate/seek refuge from a terror supporting nation without extreme vetting to include using lie detectors.

        Fifth is to watch the social media postings of all who are seeking refuge or who are suspected of terrorist leanings or connections.

        These sensible precautions won’t stop the terror attacks but will lower the number that are planned and carried out.

  18. ‘He exposed the mistakes of the others’ Donald Trump endorsed by Saddam Hussein’s DAUGHTER (express, Dec 22, 2016)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/746532/Donald-Trump-Saddam-Hussein-Daughter-endorsement-expose-mistakes

    “DONALD Trump has received an unlikely endorsement – from Saddam Hussein’s daughter.

    Raghad Saddam Hussein said that she respected the US President-elect because he had a “high level of political sensibility”.

    She said that Mr Trump was unlike any other American politician and praised him for opposing the Iraq War.

    In her first interview since Saddam was executed 10 years ago, Raghad defended her father as a ‘hero’.

    Raghad said she had never seen the video of the former Iraqi dictator being hanged and said that he died an ‘honorable’ death that made her proud.

    During the US election Mr Trump praised Saddam for killing terrorists and bringing stability to Iraq.

    He claimed that he opposed the Iraq War though he did initially support it in an interview with radio host Howard Stern.

    Speaking to CNN Raghad, 48, said: “This man has just arrived to the leadership….But from what is apparent, this man has a high level of political sensibility, that is vastly different than the one who preceded him.

    “He exposed the mistakes of the others, specifically in terms of Iraq, which means he is very aware of the mistakes made in Iraq and what happened to my father.”

    Saddam, who ruled Iraq with brutality and violence for three decades, was hanged in 2006…”

  19. OUTRAGE! Anti-Trump liberals attack… children’s cancer research!?

    The unreasonableness of liberals has become breath-taking since Donald Trump was elected — and Wednesday, they reached a new low.

    The left’s nasty hatred of anyone that stands against Democrat Hillary Clinton has become so unhinged, they’re forcing millions of dollars of charity for children’s cancer research be forfeited — all because the Christian generosity is associated with Trump’s family.

    That’s right — the left would rather let kids die of cancer than stop harassing the First Family.

  20. AUSTRIA – Kindergarten – UPDATE

    Koran-Prediger (24) ist Fan von Terrormiliz

    Neue Entwicklung bei den Ermittlungen nach der Störaktion eines 24-jährigen Somaliers beim Kinderadvent im oberösterreichischen Oberndorf: Der Asylwerber, der während einer Theatervorstellung mit dem Koran in der Hand die Bühne besetzte, wurde in der Nacht auf Dienstag festgenommen. Er gestand, Fan einer Terrormiliz zu sein.

    “Er rückte sich in seinen Aussagen in die Nähe der Terrormiliz Al-Nusra-Front und soll bei dem Vorfall auch ‘Tötet die Ungläubigen’ gerufen haben”, erklärt Christian Hubmer von der Welser Staatsanwaltschaft den Grund für die Festnahmeanordnung. Es besteht der Verdacht, dass der Somalier sich damit des Verbrechens der Mitgliedschaft in einer terroristischen Vereinigung und wegen seiner Äußerungen der “gefährlichen Drohung” schuldig gemacht habe – die Ermittlungen laufen.

    “Mein Neffe will nicht mehr in den Kindergarten gehen”
    Bei den Kindergartenkindern – bei der Aufführung der Mädchen und Buben während des “Oberndorfer Advents” waren etwa 250 Gäste anwesend – ist wieder etwas Ruhe eingekehrt. “Aber mein Neffe will nicht mehr in den Kindergarten gehen. Er fragt, was passiert, wenn der Mann wiederkommt und nicht sein Onkel da ist, der helfen kann”, erzählt Nina B., deren fünfeinhalbjährige Tochter bei der Aufführung auf der Bühne war, als plötzlich der Somalier kam.

    “Am Anfang dachte sich auch niemand etwas, im Vorjahr waren ja Asylwerber zur Adventvorstellung eingeladen und wir dachten, dass der vielleicht mitspielt. Aber als er den Koran hervorholte, war es klar, dass da etwas nicht passt”, erinnert sich die Mutter, deren Tochter daheim immer wieder erzählte, wie sehr sie der “starre Gesichtsausdruck” des Asylwerbers erschreckt hat.

    Somalier gilt als “manisch depressiv”

    Anfangs sah es so aus, als würde der Somalier, der als “manisch depressiv” gilt und seit zwei Jahren in einem Schwanenstädter Quartier lebt, ohne Anzeige auf freiem Fuß bleiben, da er nur mit dem Koran herumgewachelt und die Kinder zwar erschreckt, aber nicht unmittelbar bedroht hatte. Damit, dass er sich als Terrormiliz-Fan outete, brachte er sich selbst ins Visier der Justiz.

  22. Europe’s Compassionate Hatred of Israel

    by Bat Ye’or
    December 22, 2016 at 6:00 am

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9613/europe-hatred-israel

    Today we are witnessing the coming of the worldwide caliphate. This expression means that the Muslim view of history is currently prevailing in international institutions. We see it with the Jerusalem Declaration of UNESCO, this palace of revisionism. The Jerusalem Declaration seeks to Islamize, with the help of many governments in Europe and other Christian countries, the ancient history of the people of Israel.

    The Venice Declaration of 1980, issued by the European Community, which tried to force Israel to survive in an indefensible territory, already prescribed its disappearance and replacement with a people that had never even manifested itself before 1969 — and all with the assistance of the Soviet Union and especially France. The Islamization of Jerusalem and the delegitimization of the State of Israel were already set out in the Venice Declaration, which to this date the European Union has continued to view as valid.

    The Venice Declaration of 1980 was a gift from the European Community to the Arab League, aimed at reestablishing good economic relations with Arab countries, which had been angered by the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979, a peace Europe had not been able to prevent. Jewish holy sites and the survival of the Jewish State were sacrificed by the European Community in exchange for petrodollars.

    Since that time, the European Union has expressed remorse for the Holocaust and love and compassion for Israel, but has continued to support, fund and encourage a population whose mission is the destruction of Israel, as proclaimed in its doctrine, and with which Europe is quite familiar. European countries zealously spend billions to promote a worldwide Palestinian campaign of hatred against the State of Israel. They recognize terrorism everywhere except in Israel, where they themselves are allies of these terrorists, whom they call “freedom fighters” or “militants”, against “occupation”. The so-called “Jewish occupation” of Judea and Samaria refers to land that was conquered by war and occupied by Jordan from 1949 to 1967, and from where Palestinian Jews were killed, or dispossessed and expelled.

  23. Iran: Why the Mullahs Will Not Reform from Within

    by Heshmat Alavi
    December 22, 2016 at 4:45 am

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9597/iran-reform

    Ever since Iran’s mullahs rose to power in 1979 and established an “Islamic Republic”, they have worked to consolidate power both at home and abroad. Given Iran’s growing belligerence toward its neighbors, persistent crackdowns on domestic dissidents, and frightening nuclear ambitions, foreign analysts often talk about the possibility of regime change in Tehran. But there is very little understanding of the obstacles to dethroning the mullahs — namely, that the entire power structure and most of civil society is centralized under the personal control of the Supreme Leader. In this way, Iran’s dictatorship is every bit as entrenched as North Korea’s, making the idea of traditional regime change a pipe dream.

    The mullahs created a regime — an entrenched revolution — specifically designed to resist change or reform, adopting a unique theocratic structure that uses both Islamic ideology and brutal force to maintain absolute power.

    The official name of this system is Velayat-e Faqih (“custodianship of the clergy”) and it places all religious and legal authority in the hands of the Supreme Leader. What this means, in both theory and in practice, is that the Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei (like Ruhollah Khomeini before him) plays a direct role in all the country’s affairs; and no individual, group, or committee in the country has the right to question or hold him accountable.

    Khamenei exercises his authority through a morass of official-sounding bureaucratic organs, including the “Guardian Council”, “Expediency Council”, “Supreme Council of Leader, “Supreme National Security Council”, “Strategic Council of Foreign Policy”, and of course a “Council of Cultural Revolution”. What one must understand is that the membership of every single one of these organizations is personally approved by the Supreme Leader. Indeed, any individual, or coalition of individuals who might serve as a check on his absolute power is, in fact, completely beholden to Khamenei’s whims, making him the most complete and powerful dictator on the planet — perhaps exceeding even Kim Jong-un in unrivaled control of North Korea.

  24. Change Is Coming and Change Can Be Good

    President-elect Trump’s choice of David Friedman as Ambassador to Israel appears to be an excellent decision. It has already brought howls of protest from people invested heavily in the Oslo and subsequent accords, the “peace process” and the concept of the United States as an “evenhanded” broker between Israelis and Palestinians. Friedman, an Oslo-skeptic, has said he believes that, “Notwithstanding ‘agreements’ reached at Camp David, Oslo, Wye Plantation and elsewhere, neither Yasser Arafat nor Mahmoud Abbas ever had any intentions to observe the minimal conditions required of a two-state solution.”

    On the other hand, he said of Israel that he would work “tirelessly to strengthen the unbreakable bond between our two countries,” correcting the relationship between two democratic, transparent, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, free market, countries — one large and one small. Israel goes from an impediment to American interests in the Middle East to a partner in a vital region — innovative, experienced, and successful.

    It is worthwhile to review the parameters of the Oslo Process, negotiated in 1993 without the participation of the U.S., but adopted formally by President Clinton, because its underlying assumptions are about to be challenged.

  25. Obama pulls regs that could have fueled ‘Muslim registry’ under Trump

    The Obama administration is removing dormant government regulations that some immigrant rights and civil liberties advocates feared could be used by President-elect Donald Trump to establish registration requirements for immigrant Muslims living in the U.S.

    The Department of Homeland Security filed an official notice Thursday that it is deleting the published rules for the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, a program the Bush administration used in 2002 and 2003 to require male foreigners over 16 from 25 largely Muslim-majority countries to register with U.S. immigration authorities.

    During the presidential campaign, Trump proposed a temporary ban on immigration of Muslims to the U.S. After an outcry over that proposal, including from some of his supporters, he said the moratorium would only apply to countries whose nationals have been involved in terrorism against the U.S. or its allies.

    Since the most controversial part of the Bush administration’s registration effort was abandoned in December 2003, the Obama team’s move to dismantle the regulations is largely symbolic. Nevertheless, more than 200 civil rights, religious and other organizations urged the administration to delete the rules out of concern that they would serve as a framework for Trump to renew or expand the registration effort.

    The Homeland Security notice released Thursday and scheduled for formal publication on Friday called the NSEERS program “obsolete and inefficient.”

    “Although DHS retained the regulations that provide the NSEERS framework, subsequent experience has confirmed that NSEERS is obsolete, that deploying it would be inefficient and divert personnel and resources from alternative effective measures, and that the regulation authorizing NSEERS is unnecessary,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says in the notice.

    “DHS now engages in security and law enforcement efforts that were not possible when NSEERS was established in 2002, and the Department continues to make significant progress in its abilities to identify, screen, and vet all travelers arriving to the United States; to collect and analyze biometric and biographic data; to target high-risk travelers for additional examination; and to track nonimmigrants’ entry, stay, and exit from the country.”

    DHS also said that aspects of the NSEERS program, including fingerprinting and photographing at points of entry, are now carried out broadly for foreigners visiting the U.S. And the agency noted that since February of this year foreigners seeking to enter the U.S. without a visa have been asked about dual nationality in, or travel to, high-risk countries like Iran, Syria and Sudan.

    “The regulations behind special registration and the manual collection of information from nonimmigrants date back more than two decades. They have long been replaced by automated systems that are far better equipped to face the evolving landscape of international terrorism,” DHS spokesman Neema Hakim said.

    Since his victory in the presidential race last month, Trump has not laid out a detailed plan for implementing his campaign promises to crack down on immigration from countries that are fonts of terrorism.

    However, when immigration hardliner and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach met with Trump last month, Kobach was carrying a memo that proposed reinstating the NSEERS program as well as questioning Muslim immigrants about their support for Islamic law, known as Sharia. Kobach has been mentioned as a candidate for an administration job, although no announcement has been made.

    Asked by reporters Wednesday about his reaction to terrorist attacks in Germany and Turkey earlier in the week and whether he plans to move forward with his calls for a Muslim registry, Trump said he was not wavering.

    “You know my plans. All along, I’ve been proven to be right. 100 percent correct. What’s happening is disgraceful,” the president-elect said between meetings at his West Palm Beach, Fla. resort, Mar-a-Lago. “It’s an attack on humanity. That’s what it is. An attack on humanity and it’s got to be stopped.”

    Trump transition officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Obama administration’s action.

    Civil rights groups hailed the move and warned that Trump will face a battle if he tries to restore or expand the Bush-era registration program, which critics faulted for having no discernible impact on terrorism but causing many immigrants to be arrested, detained and even deported over immigration violations they were generally unaware of before reporting for registration.

    “This is the right decision by Secretary Johnson. We commend him, and the Obama administration, for letting it be known that such registry programs are futile and have no place in our country,” said Abed Ayoub of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. “However the community cannot be at ease; the next administration has indicated that they will consider implementing similar programs. We will work twice as hard to protect our community and ensure such programs do not come to fruition.”

    • Obama and his followers seeking to do as much damage to the US as they possibly can before he leaves office.

      Obama has timed this so the regulation will be removed on the first Day of Trumps Administration. What has been done is legal but unethical and breaking many traditions of what an outgoing President does before he leaves office. Once again Obama and his followers are giving the finger to the people who opposed him and voted to remove him and his policies from the US. He and his followers are doing their best to foment massive civil violence so the Propaganda Media can spin the news to make all who oppose him look like Nazi’s. While the Propaganda Media is busy lying the Soros paid groups will be busy rioting and carrying out low scale terror attacks.

    • Obama Moves to Eliminate Bush-era Tracking Program (nbcnews, Dec 22, 2016)
      http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/obama-moves-eliminate-bush-era-tracking-program-n699171

      “The Obama administration has eliminated a dormant Bush-era program that could have been used by Donald Trump to implement his promised Muslim registry, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday.

      The tracking program, called the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, was created by the Justice Department in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It required men from 25 countries considered to be at “higher risk” of extremist activities to register in person and submit to questioning and fingerprinting at an Immigration and Naturalization Service office. Civil rights groups complained that it targeted residents of Muslim- and Arab-majority countries.

      NSEERS hasn’t been used since 2011, but it could potentially be revitalized. Obama apparently wants to avoid that happening. By removing regulations that provided a legal framework for the program, Obama aims to prevent Trump from using it, U.S. officials told NBC News on Thursday…”

      • Obama stopped enforcing it and now wants to make it hard for President Trump to protect the US citizens, after all we all know the Moslems are more important then our own citizens.

  26. BREITBART – Prince Charles Urges Brits To Think Of Muhammad This Christmas, Speaks Out Against ‘Aggressive Populism’

    […]Speaking on Thought for the Day, a short early morning slot on BBC Radio 4 dedicated to faith issues, the son of Britain’s reigning Monarch urged listeners to think of persecuted religious figures — singling out Jesus Christ and Muhammad — this Christmas. He said:

    Normally at Christmas we think of the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wonder though if this year we might remember how the story of the nativity unfolds, with the fleeing of the holy family to escape violent persecution. And we might also remember that when the prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina he was seeking the freedom for himself and his followers to worship.

    Whichever religious path we follow, the destination is the same – to value and respect the other person, accepting their right to live out their peaceful response to the love of God.

    […]We are now seeing the rise of many populist groups across the world that are increasingly aggressive towards those who adhere to a minority faith. All of this has deeply disturbing echoes of the dark days of the 1930s.[…]

  27. FBI Quietly Expands Its Hacking Powers

    The FBI quietly acquired sweeping surveillance powers, beginning Dec. 1, it had sought for years, and the change came without a single congressional hearing or vote.

    Under a change to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the FBI will now be able to obtain a single warrant from a magistrate that allows it to hack thousands — or perhaps millions — of computers across the country, or even outside it, in certain circumstances. It would apply when technology like Tor or virtual private networks is used to hide the location of users, or when a computer is swept up in a “botnet,” a network of private computers infected by malware and controlled without the users’ knowledge, such as by an email spammer.

    “In these circumstances, law enforcement could remotely access, search, seize or copy data on computers, no matter where the computers were located and without providing notice to the users being searched,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation cautioned.

    Previously, magistrates could only issue warrants for searches within their districts. Thus, the rule change raises fears about “forum shopping,” under which the FBI could seek warrants from magistrates known to hand out warrants with little scrutiny, even if no devices to be searched reside in their districts.

    Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who led a bipartisan group of senators attempting to block the rule change the day before it went into effect but was rebuffed by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called it “one of the biggest mistakes in surveillance policy in years and years.”

  28. BREITBART – French Mayor to be Tried for Muslim ‘Problem’ Comments

    A far-right French mayor will be tried on hate charges over comments that include a claim the number of Muslim students in his city was a “problem”, a judicial source said Wednesday.

    Robert Menard, who is an ally of France’s anti-immigrant National Front party, will face a charge in a Paris court of incitement to hatred or discrimination, the source said.

    “In a class in the city centre in my town, 91 percent of the children are Muslims. Obviously, this is a problem. There are limits to tolerance”, he said in September 5 comments on French news channel LCI.

    Also in September, on France’s first day back to school, he tweeted his regret at witnessing “the great replacement”, using a term by xenophobic writer Renaud Camus to describe the country’s white, Christian population being overtaken by foreign-born Muslims.

    Menard, who is the mayor of southern France town Beziers, denied his comments were discriminatory.

    “I just described the situation in my town,” he told AFP. “It is not a value judgement, it’s a fact. It’s what I can see.”

    According to France-based anti-racism group Licra, the trial is set for March 8.

    Menard prompted outrage in October by putting up anti-migrant posters and calling for a local referendum ahead of the arrival of asylum-seekers in his town.

    Under the headline “That’s It, They’re Coming”, is an image of a crowd of migrants, all of them men, outside the cathedral in Beziers.

    It is reminiscent of a controversial poster created by leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage, former head of Britain’s anti-immigration UK Independence Party (UKIP), showing a vast queue of migrants under the slogan “Breaking Point”.

    Menard was for 23 years the head of the media rights group Reporters Without Borders, which has distanced itself from him since he left in 2008.

  29. Northern China Suffocates Under Huge Blanket of Smog

    Large clouds of smog are not uncommon in northern China and the situation typically grows worse during the winter when energy use increases.

    At least 23 cities are currently under red alert, and 700 companies in Beijing have stopped production. The smog is so bad in some areas that planes can’t even land.

    Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients complaining of asthma and other respiratory conditions.

    “The smog has serious repercussions on the lungs and respiratory system,” explains Beijing high school student Li Jingren. “It also influences the health of future generations, so under a red alert, it is safer to stay at home rather than go to school.”

    Beijing is one of the most polluted cities in the world – a problem that has been blamed on China’s reliance on coal as well as emissions from old cars. Greenpeace climate campaigner Dong Liansai says emissions from nearby factories caused the current smog episode.

    • ISIS Burning Alive Two Turkish Soldiers In Syria – Graphic execution video

      The Islamic State terrorist organization has purportedly broadcast a new video showing the executions of two Turkish soldiers in “Wilayat Halab,” Syria.

      In the video, bloodthirsty ISIS savages can be seen carrying out the executions of Turkish soldiers by fire in Aleppo, Syria.

      The video opens with the standard montage of regional and world leaders along with war footage.

      Up next is a suicide bombing, POV combat in the region and footage of terrorists engaged in combat on the battlefield.

      The video moves on to showing more suicide bombings, graphic combat aftermath and even more combat footage.

      Now the video shows a speech by an ISIS terrorist before showing two Turkish soldiers in a cage.

      Once the terrorist is finished his speech, the two Turkish soldiers are forced to crawl to their execution spot.

      At their execution spot, one of the bloodthirsty ISIS terrorists set them on fire by igniting a fuse.

      At this point in the video, the two soldiers are shown being burned alive.

      This video is very graphic and was released to ISIS terrorist channels on December 22, 2016 by the Halab propaganda arm.

  32. CCTV shows Berlin terror attack suspect ‘visiting mosque’ hours after lorry smashed into Christmas market

    Images show a man in a wool cap standing outside a mosque in Berlin’s Moabit district

    The suspect in the Berlin terror attack was allegedly captured on camera outside a mosque just hours after a lorry ploughed into a busy Christmas market, killing 12 and injuring dozens.

    Images obtained by Germany’s public broadcaster show a man in a wool cap standing in a doorway in Berlin’s Moabit district shortly before 4am local time on Tuesday.

    RBB, citing sources, claimed the man in the video is Anis Amri, the 24-year-old Tunisian who is suspected of hijacking the lorry and mowing down pedestrians in the city centre on Monday night.

    It is believed he was twice captured on camera outside the same mosque less than a week before the attack – once in the early hours of December 14 and again on December 15.

  33. AUSTRALIA – Melbourne Christmas Day ‘terror attack’ foiled, say Australia police

    Australian police say they have foiled a terror attack planned for Melbourne on Christmas Day.

    Five men were arrested in early-morning raids on Friday, Victoria Police chief commissioner Graham Ashton said.

    Mr Ashton said the threat involved “use of explosives” and other weapons including “knives or a firearm”.

    The threat was to prominent city locations including Flinders St Station, Federation Square and St Paul’s Cathedral, he said.

    Mr Ashton said there was no longer a threat the public.

    “We don’t have any threat over and above that threat that we’ve currently neutralised,” he said at a press conference.
    ‘Self-radicalised’

    Four of the men arrested were Australians aged in their 20s, while the fifth suspect was an Egyptian-born Australian citizen, Mr Ashton said.

    He claimed they were “self-radicalised” but inspired by propaganda of the so-called Islamic State.

    Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the alleged plans “were not acts of faith”.

    “They were in their planning, acts of evil,” he said.

    Flinders St Station, Federation Square and St Paul’s Cathedral occupy three corners of what is arguably Melbourne’s most iconic intersection.
