    • New Report Says Islam Will Surpass Christianity And Become The Largest Religion In The World

      Right up and until the first broadsides of thermonuclear bombs start detonating.

      • It is more likely that someone not necessarily a nation or individual in the nations composing the West will release some nasty bio weapons.

        In WWI poison gases were used by both sides but neither side used them in WWII. WWII ended when we used two nuclear weapons on Japan, which means that it is unlikely any nuclear armed western nation will use them unless they are nuked first. Nasty bio weapons haven’t been used in modern times so the are the most likely weapon of mass destruction to be used.

  1. Over 4300 Refugees Have Arrived In The US Since Judge Blocked Trump’s Travel Ban

    Over 4,300 refugees that would have been blocked by President Trump’s travel ban have resettled in the U.S. since a federal judge in Washington stopped the executive order.

    President Trump’s executive order signed in late January stopped refugee entry across the board for 120 days, eliminated refugee entry from Syria indefinitely, and blocked the entry of all immigrants from seven majority-Muslim nations (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Syria).

    On Feb. 3, U.S. District Judge James L. Robart ruled that the order was unconstitutional and this decision was later uphold by an appeals court. President Trump subsequently expressed dismay saying that the country’s safety is at risk due to the court’s decision.

    “Our legal system is broken! ’77 percent of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries,’ SO DANGEROUS!” Trump tweeted a week after his executive order was blocked.

  2. Make Canada great again? Conservative Canucks chart course for the age of Trump

    Conference of Canadian right asks: are we immune from or are we infected by the forces that produced Brexit in Britain and Donald Trump’s in the US?

    The agenda included sessions on “Islamic extremism”, freedom of religion and the challenge of being a young conservative on campus. There were talks on the national debt and dismantling the state broadcaster. Speakers contemplated whether it was time to do away with elites – and whether “Trumpism” could be exported to Canada.

    The Manning Conference has long ranked as an annual pilgrimage of sorts for Canada’s conservatives, offering a window into the broader issues facing the movement. But this year’s agenda left many wondering whether the divisive wedge politics that have rattled countries around the world over the past year have landed in Canada.

    “The party is being beckoned down a very dark road,” noted one political columnist while others highlighted the smattering of Make America Great Again hats being worn at the conference.

    The conference agenda, said Conservative strategist Tim Powers, comes down to a question being asked by the party: “Are we immune from or are we infected by whatever it is that happened in Britain with Brexit and happened in America with Trump?”

  3. U.S. judge orders Florida nightclub shooter’s widow to remain in jail

    Reuters) – The widow of the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Florida must remain in jail after prosecutors argued that she was a threat to the community and a flight risk, a U.S. judge on Thursday ordered.

    The federal judge in Florida stayed another judge’s order issued on Wednesday that would have released Noor Salman, 30, from a California jail. He put the release order on hold pending further arguments in the case.

    Salman was arrested in California in January on federal charges she knew before the June 2016 shootings in Orlando that her husband, Omar Mateen, was planning the attack and concocted a cover story for him.

    U.S. District Judge Paul Byron in Orlando ordered Salman detained and set a Wednesday deadline for her lawyers to respond to prosecutors’ arguments that she should be jailed pending her trial in Florida.

    Salman is charged with obstructing justice and aiding Mateen in his attempt to provide material support to the Islamic State militant group.

    Prosecutors argued in a motion that the seriousness of the charge related to the Islamic State meant Salman should be kept in jail.

  4. Psychotic ‘Russia’ theme: Black helicopters hover over Democrats, MSM
    By J.E. Dyer March 2, 2017

    It is insanely paranoid for the mainstream media to report on Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ 2016 meetings with the Russian ambassador (all one and a half of them, apparently) as if there might have been something nefarious in the fact that Sessions didn’t say that he had them during his Senate confirmation.

    Wade past paragraphs of innuendo in this typical report on the matter, and here’s what you find the meetings amounted to:

    Sessions had a private meeting with the Russian ambassador last September as part of his capacity as a senator, the Justice Department told NBC News.

    The other encounter came after he gave a speech during a Heritage Foundation event in July during the Republican National Convention, and a group of ambassadors approached him. He did not have a one-on-one meeting with the Russians at the time, the Justice Department said.

    Check out what Senator Al Franken ?

  5. India to host Dalai Lama in disputed territory, defying China

    Indian federal government representatives will meet the Dalai Lama when he visits a sensitive border region controlled by India but claimed by China, officials said, despite a warning from Beijing that it would damage ties.

    India says the Tibetan spiritual leader will make a religious trip to Arunachal Pradesh next month, and as a secular democracy it would not stop him from traveling to any part of the country.

    China claims the state in the eastern Himalayas as “South Tibet”, and has denounced foreign and even Indian leaders’ visits to the region as attempts to bolster New Delhi’s territorial claims.

    A trip by the Dalai Lama, whom the Chinese regard as a dangerous separatist, would ratchet up tensions at a time when New Delhi is at odds with China on strategic and security issues and unnerved by Beijing’s growing ties with arch-rival Pakistan.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration is raising its public engagement with the Tibetan leader, a change from earlier governments’ reluctance to anger Beijing by sharing a public platform with him.

  6. The ISIS Stronghold You Don’t Hear About
    International attention is focused on ISIS in Iraq and Syria but ISIS is also waging an insurgency against the Egyptian government in Sinai.

    Islamic State terrorists are most notorious for their brutal conquest of a third of Iraq in 2014 and for their slick and savage propaganda videos which feature masked jihadis beheading captives.

    ISIS is not only confined to Iraq and Syria however.

    They have an active province in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

  7. Muslims in Australia Becoming Radicalized at Much Younger Ages
    The alarming trend shows that the age of radicalization of young Sunni Muslims has dropped a decade in only two years.

    Muslims in Australia are becoming radicalized at an alarmingly younger age, according to new data presented by the head of the country’s intelligence organization, as reported by International Business Times.

    Statistics culled from 2013 indicated that 45 percent of Sunni extremist investigated by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) were between the ages of 25 and 34. Just two years later, in 2015, 40 percent of those under investigation were between 15 and 24.

    Thus the age-group of youth investigated for radicalization has “dropped by a decade in the space of a couple of years,” said Duncan Lewis, ASIO’s director-general.

    Duncan also noted the percentage of Muslims under suspicion of being radicalized accounts for less than 0.1 percent of Australia’s nearly half-a-million Muslim population.

    “The other 99.9% of Australian Muslims are not involved in activities of security concern in any way and are of no interest to the Australian Security Intelligence Organization,” he said.

  8. Serbia: Mogherini silenced by protests during speech to Serbian Parliament

    Members of the Serbian Parliament belonging to the Radical Party booed High Representative of European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, as she gave a speech in the Parliament in Belgrade, Friday.

    Leader of the Radicals Vojislav Seselj announced on Thursday that he would try to obstruct Mogherini during her speech on Serbia’s development towards the European Union, stating that she lobbies for Kosovo and Albanians, and that she is leading anti-Serbian politics. Radical party MPs also chanted “Serbia- Russia, we don’t need EU.”

    Besides the Serbian Radical Party, members of the political party ‘Dveri’ showed their hostility towards Mogherini by holding posters reading in Serbian and English “Serbia doesn’t trust Brussels.” Both, the Serbian Radical Party and Dveri oppose Serbia’s path to the European Union.

      • Mogherini is the most overt Jew-hater among EU functionaries. As Foreign Minister she’s had the most opportunity to show it.

  9. ISIS Threatens China for the First Time

    China has largely avoided wading too deeply into the global fight against Islamic terrorism, but their ability to turn a blind eye to this threat may soon be compromised. ISIS released a new video this week in which militants belonging to China’s Uighur ethnic minority promised to return to their home country and slaughter innocents.

    China has had their eye on Uighur militants for some time, blaming exiled separatists for launching bloody attacks in the Xinjiang region of the country. In the video, one such Uighur militant issued a direct threat to China before killing a man ISIS believed to be an informant.

    “Oh, you Chinese who do not understand what people say! We are the soldiers of the Caliphate, and we will come to you to clarify to you with the tongues of our weapons, to shed blood like rivers and avenging the oppressed,” the Uighur fighter said, according to U.S. government translators.

    Terrorism experts say this is the first time ISIS has sent such a threat China’s way, saying it could be the beginning of a new front for the Islamic group. They say it could also just be a subset of the Uighur resistance joining forces with the Iraqi wing of the Islamic State, a situation that would not necessarily be as alarming for China.

    Even so, ISIS is proving on a daily basis that theirs is not a war exclusively against the West, or even against non-Muslim cultures. They have declared war on the world, and they will not stop recruiting and killing until they conquer all of humanity…or, of course, until they are wiped out of existence.

    We have no worries that their so-called global caliphate will ever materialize, but we do worry about how many people will have to die before the world truly wakes up to this spreading disaster.

    Although, with a man who sees this threat for what it is in the Oval Office, we worry a lot less than we used to.

  10. The West Submits to Blasphemy Laws
    Forward to the Middle Ages!

    by Judith Bergman
    March 3, 2017 at 5:00 am

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10000/blasphemy-laws

    The West is submitting to blasphemy laws. Denmark, for example, has apparently decided that now is the time to invoke a dusty, old blasphemy provision. Denmark still has a provision in the penal code against blasphemy, but until now, it has only been used three times. The last time was nearly half a century ago, in 1971. Denmark’s Attorney General has nevertheless just charged a man for burning a Quran.

    In the West, blasphemy as a criminal offence has for centuries generally been considered a relic of the past. In a largely godless society, few people take offense to blasphemous comments or acts. Christians do not descend upon alleged blasphemers with guns and knives, and publishers do not worry about “offending” Christians.

    In 1997, Danish public service radio financed an artist burning a Bible and broadcast it on national television. No one was charged, even though there were complaints and the state prosecutor investigated the case.

    Yet, a Danish man will be prosecuted. He burned his own Quran in his own garden and then posted the video in a public Facebook group, “Yes to freedom, No to Islam,” with the accompanying text, “Consider your neighbor, it stinks when it burns”. Attorney General Jan Reckendorff stated:

  11. Ten Incidents in Ten Days That Proved Trump Right on Sweden’s Migration Problem

    The media and Swedish politicians were in an uproar after President Donald J. Trump chose to highlight the negative effects of mass migration in Sweden. But ten days later, here are ten incidents that proved him right.

    When former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt asked the U.S. president “what is he smoking?” on Twitter and other celebrities berated President Trump over his comments on 19 February, many wondered what is actually going on in Sweden. Here is a list of incidents that have occurred since that speech proving President Trump may have even been downplaying the situation in the Scandinavian nation:

    1. Large scale riots in the No Go Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby

    • Debate rages in Sweden over Muslim Brotherhood report (thelocal, Mar 3, 2017)
      http://www.thelocal.se/20170303/debate-rages-in-sweden-over-muslim-brotherhood-report

      “A report commissioned by Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) to look into the influence of the Islamist organization the Muslim Brotherhood in the country has sparked debate, with a number of researchers disputing the methodology used and conclusions reached.

      The report suggests that the Muslim Brotherhood is secretly leading Islamists in building a parallel society in Sweden by infiltrating organizations and political parties in the country.

      It also claims that there is an “established structure of values among the country’s political elite which stipulate how as a citizen you should approach ‘minorities'”.

      But in a blog post signed by 22 Swedish researchers specializing in religious studies, the claims were labelled as “almost conspiracy-theory like”, and the study accused of ignoring previous research, lacking sources, and basing conclusions on personal views rather than evidence.

      The idea that Islamists are secretly building a parallel society in Sweden is, according to the 22 researchers “a conclusion which goes against the collective research” in the field.

      “The major shortcoming of the report is that it seems to be completely unaware of Islamic research which currently exists at Swedish and Nordic universities,” Lund University professor of Islamic studies Jan Hjärpe, who was one of the 22 researchers to sign the blog post, told The Local.

      “The list of signatories is comprised largely of active researchers who have done and do in-depth studies on a range of the relevant concerns. It is striking that MSB ordered this report without at all consulting the expertise available. I suspect this is due to ignorance on the authority’s behalf,” he added.

      MSB defended the report however, saying it is a feasibility study designed in part to present proposals for further studies and research in the area.

      “The feasibility study is not a research report, but a study which can give MSB support to see what need there is for further study and research work in the field. In order for MSB to have a good ability to identify and address influencers and the spreading of misleading information against Sweden we need to work with different types of knowledge,” MSB’s head of operations Anneli Bergholm Söder said in a press release.

      “The authors themselves are responsible for the contents of the preliminary study. Obviously we make an assessment of the result and in this case we need to continue studies and research in the field. The ongoing debate about the study and its findings are important pieces of knowledge and input for the way forward,” she added.

      The Local contacted the report’s editor Magnus Norell for comment on Friday, but he was not available due to travel commitments. In response to the blog post he previously told public service broadcaster SVT:

      “Had they smoked something before they read it? You just need to read the report. If someone doesn’t accept this, there’s not much I can do about it. It’s proven.””

    • Bloomberg- Rutte Warns of Dutch Chaos If Populist Wilders Wins Election

      Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte sounded the alarm over the prospect of Geert Wilders placing first in this month’s election, warning of the economic chaos that would ensue if the anti-euro Freedom Party leader got a hold on power.

      Rutte, speaking in an interview on the sidelines of a campaign event in Amsterdam on Thursday, said the Netherlands has the chance on March 15 to draw a line in the sand over the spread of populism through western democracies. The Dutch can choose to send a signal to the world that it’s possible to “stop that trend,” said Rutte.

      But if Wilders takes the most votes, “internationally it would mean that people say the next domino has fallen, no matter who eventually governs,” Rutte said. “After Brexit, the U.S, also the Netherlands — then France, Germany and Italy will follow. If you look at the chaos that arose in the U.S. and the U.K., then it’s essential we avoid that.”

      With the Netherlands holding the first of three big elections in Europe this year, Rutte is casting his Liberals as the best chance of forming a bulwark against the rise of nationalist movements such as Marine Le Pen’s National Front in France and the Alternative for Germany.

      Falling Polls

      While the anti-Islam, anti-European Union Freedom Party has led the Liberals for much of the campaign, recent polls suggest Wilders’s party may be fading. The latest Ipsos weekly poll published late on Thursday showed the Freedom Party with 24 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, down two on the week, compared with 28 seats for the Liberals.

      The Dutch election illustrates the splintering of politics as voters abandon the traditional mainstream in favor of single issue parties or radical voices that address specific concerns. With 28 parties contesting the election and as many as 14 of them forecast to enter the parliament, forces on all sides are in with a chance of sharing power.

      “People don’t want to vote for an old, classic party anymore — and rightly so,” Jesse Klaver, leader of the Greens, said in an interview with Het Financieele Dagblad newspaper published Friday. “The Greens are becoming a broad people’s party,” and with an average of 16 seats in recent surveys, “we’ve never been as high in the polls as now.”

      Since the mainstream Dutch parties have rejected working with Wilders, who was convicted last year of making discriminatory comments toward immigrants, it’s still unlikely the Freedom Party will become part of a governing coalition after the election.

      Rutte said the prospect of Wilders placing first still posed a “huge risk.”

      “It’s not about who will eventually govern. It’s about the signal that will be given if Wilders becomes the biggest” force, Rutte said. “And if he eventually got power — although not with my support — there is the risk that after an economic recovery we will enter into a major course change, and that chaos would arise.”

      Wilders, who announced on Wednesday that he’ll resume campaigning after suspending public events due to security concerns, responded on Twitter to Rutte’s warnings that his Freedom Party could top the polls.

      “That’s right. Rutte’s not lying this time,” he tweeted.
      Economic Boost

      Rutte is campaigning on the strength of the economy’s performance during his tenure. The European Commission projects gross domestic product in the Netherlands to be 2 percent in 2017, outstripping the 1.6 percent projected in the euro area. Dutch unemployment will fall to 5.2 percent next year, compared with 9.6 percent in the currency bloc.

      “Now it’s going so much better in the Netherlands, I want people to personally profit from it,” Rutte said.

      Wilders, who has campaigned on the platforms of leaving the EU and stopping immigration from Muslim nations, has lived for more than a decade under constant police protection following death threats.

      Wilders has created a “poisonous atmosphere,” Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the country’s finance minister and a member of the Labor Party, said in an interview with BNR Nieuwsradio. He’s made “an atmosphere in which an entire population is characterized as a problem, an atmosphere where freedom of religion is taken away from a segment of the population.”

    • Bloombeg -Can a Populist Become Dutch Prime Minister? QuickTake Q&A

      After Brexit and Donald Trump, is Geert Wilders the next voter thunderbolt? The Netherlands holds parliamentary elections on March 15, with the populist leader’s Freedom Party riding high in the polls. But to form a government, Wilders will need allies. And he doesn’t really have any.

      1. Who is Geert Wilders, anyway?

      Originally a Liberal, Wilders, known for his bouffant blond hairstyle, eventually broke away to become an independent lawmaker before setting up the Freedom Party, known as the PVV in Dutch, in 2006. His vehement opposition to Islam has led to him being given round-the-clock police protection. Last year a court found him guilty of inciting discrimination with comments about Moroccan immigrants, but the judges imposed no penalty. He made global headlines at the start of his election campaign by calling some Moroccans “scum.”

      2. What does the Freedom Party want?

      The party’s manifesto is just one page long. The most detail it offers is on de-Islamicizing the Netherlands, which would include barring immigrants from Muslim countries, closing all mosques and banning the Koran. Wilders also wants to withdraw from the European Union, close the borders, and spend more on defense and police and less on international aid and wind power.

      3. How will the party do in the election?

      The Peilingwijzer poll aggregator shows Wilders’s party is in first place, ahead of Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s Liberals.

      4. Can we trust the polls?

      Dutch opinion polls in the past few elections have been “not spot on, but they reasonably reflect the trends,” according to Tom Louwerse of the University of Leiden, who puts together the Peilingwijzer. While in the past the Freedom Party ended up with less support than final polls suggested, there’s no indication that will be true this year. “There are no shy PVV voters any more,” says Louwerse.

      5. What does it take to form a Dutch government?

      The lower house of Parliament has 150 seats. No party ever wins a majority, making coalitions inevitable. A coalition needs to have the support of parties totaling at least 76 seats to ensure it can get its legislation through. (It needs a majority in the indirectly elected upper house as well.) There will be at least 11 parties in the new lower house — possibly as many as 14.

      6. How would Wilders put together a coalition?

      He may not be able to, since victory doesn’t guarantee the right to try. Once the final results are confirmed, Parliament will meet and appoint a senior politician to explore what sort of coalition can be formed. And so far, none of the mainstream parties appears willing to work with Wilders. Rutte used his personal Twitter account for the first time in six years to say there’s no chance of an accord: “Zero percent, Geert. ZERO percent.”

      7. Wait — the biggest party can be shut out?

      Yes. Three times since World War II, the “winning” party has been excluded from the government. In each case, it was Labor. In 1971, the four parties that formed the previous center-right government lost their majority, but added the new Democratic Socialists to their coalition to restore their parliamentary majority. Six years later, Labor was again left out of power even though it took more than one-third of the vote.

      8. So what would the government look like?

      Probably a coalition with at least five parties. Even if Rutte is able to put together a deal with his existing coalition partner, the Labor Party, his former partners, the Christian Democrats, and Democrats ’66, the other mainstream center party, that is likely to add up to only about 70 seats, six short of a majority. The Greens might join them, though party leader Jesse Klaver hasn’t been enthusiastic about working with Rutte in the past. There’s also the possibility of a minority coalition. Rutte and the Christian Democrats tried that in 2010, relying on Wilders for just enough votes to get legislation through Parliament. But this lasted just a year and a half; the collapse meant new elections were needed in late 2012.

      9. Anything else?

      Because of fears that hackers could try to tamper with the election, the government announced Feb. 1 that software can’t be used to calculate the results. More than 12 million people are eligible to vote, but the Dutch electoral council says there will be no delay to the preliminary results on the evening.

        http://www.dw.com/en/german-politicians-line-up-against-anti-democratic-turkish-referendum-campaign/a-37797622

        “All German political parties in parliament have voiced support for keeping Turkish ministers from campaigning in Germany. They warned of bringing internal Turkish conflicts to Germany amid concern over democracy.

        German lawmakers from across the political spectrum on Friday backed preventing Turkish politicians from campaigning in Germany for an upcoming referendum that critics say will deal a death blow to democracy in the country.

        Relations between the two NATO allies soured further on Thursday after the town of Gaggenau in southern Germany refused permission for Turkey’s justice minister to address supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The event was meant to rally support for an April referendum that will dramatically expand the powers of the presidency. The city of Cologne also blocked an event where Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybecki was to campaign on Sunday, citing security concerns.

        The decisions drew a sharp rebuke from Ankara, with Turkish Foreign Minister on Friday accusing Berlin of campaigning against the referendum and double standards on freedom of speech.

        Wolfgang Bosbach, a lawmaker from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, described Turkish arguments about freedom of speech as a “sleight of hand.”…”

    ‘Refugees’ reject free Norwegian apartments, demand houses

    Modum, a small municipality in the south of Norway, is faced with an uprising of Syrian asylum seekers, who are angered by the community’s decision to house them for free in moderately sized student flats.

    In order to voice their protest against this ‘grave injustice’, the six Arab men involved in the revolt have recently rejected the apartments by refusing to sign contracts allowing them to reside in the flats, with total floor areas of up to 20 square meters.

    The Syrians, who claim te have fled the war in their homeland, are between 20 and 33 years of age. Abdulhadi Alkhalaf is one of the complainants. In Syria, the 31-year-old was working as a lawyer, and now he’s claiming “moral rights“, Document reports using Bygdeposten as a source. Alkhalaf:

    Austrian police have recently arrested an Afghan-born sexual delinquent who had been targeting young boys in the towns of Linz and Traun. Victims of the 36-year-old asylum seeker were harassed and even threatened with murder, after being stalked.

    On February 26, the Afghan allegedly molested a 12-year-old boy in a shopping centre in Traun, Heute.at reports. He attempted to have sex with the minor, who initially managed to escape to a tram station but was followed by the attacker when leaving the mall.

    After catching up with his intended victim, the migrant tried luring the boy to his house. As an alternative, the 36-year-old asked the boy to join him for a walk to the main station in order to have sex in the public toilet that is located there. According to police reports, “the accused did not leave the minor until he sought help from strangers.”

    The refugee had also threatened to kill the boy if he would inform the authorities of the assault, leaving his victim completely terrified.

    • Public Notice – Asylum Seekers Date Posted: Feb 13, 2017
      Over the past two weeks our Municipality of Emerson-Franklin
      has seen an influx of individuals walking across the Canada-USA border seeking
      asylum in Canada. This is not something new, as this has been going on for
      several years, however the recent groups have been larger than ones previously
      encountered. These individuals often end up on the streets in Emerson and there
      have been instances of homeowners encountering them. From a humanitarian view
      these individuals are often cold after walking for a long period of time in
      frigid conditions and are looking for a warm place. From a safety point of view
      it is unknown as to what kind of individuals they are. In seeking asylum in
      Canada it is doubtful that they would have negative intentions that would
      affect their claim, however safety must always be at the forefront of one’s
      mind. As residents of the Municipality it is advised to call 911 to report any
      asylum seekers and begin the process of the RCMP locating these individuals and
      transporting them to the Canada Border Services Agency office in Emerson for
      identification and processing. Once processing has been completed by the CBSA,
      arrangements are made to have these individuals transported to a reception
      agency in Winnipeg.

    • Thank you Buck. Interesting reflection on how intelligence overcomes the monobrains of the Left or the Right.

  14. Sweden to the White House: okay guys, let’s talk

    Sweden’s Foreign Minister Margot Wallström was to hold a telephone meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Friday afternoon, newspaper Aftonbladet reported.

    Citing sources at Sweden’s foreign ministry (UD), Aftonbladet writes that the meeting would focus on the image of Sweden being spread by some US media and the country’s president, Donald Trump.

    “Wallström is going to provide a counter-image of Sweden and note that the one represented on Fox News is not credible,” the paper quoted their UD source as saying.

    There has been intense debate about American portrayals of Sweden in the last few weeks since Trump made comments on February 18th suggesting something significant had happened “last night in Sweden”, in a speech where he also listed places recently targeted by terrorists like Paris and Nice.

    Trump later clarified that his comment had been in reference to a story broadcast on Fox News about immigrants and Sweden, where filmmaker Ami Horowitz was interviewed about a documentary he had made on the country. The interview along with the documentary itself contained a number of inaccurate claims about crime and immigration however.

    Further dubious reports have been broadcast in the US since, and in response, the Swedish foreign ministry sought to set the record straight by addressing some of the claims circulating since the Trump speech, publishing a list of facts and figures in English in response to the information.

    Now Sweden has gone one step further by taking the initiative to contact the US administration and set up a telephone meeting, according to Aftonbladet. It would be the first meeting between Wallström and her American counterpart.

    Emmanuel Macron a rencontré vendredi au Ritz à Paris l’ancien Secrétaire d’Etat américain de Barack Obama, le démocrate John Kerry, à la demande de ce dernier, a-t-on appris auprès de l’entourage du candidat à l’élection présidentielle.

    Au cours d’une rencontre d’une heure, essentiellement en anglais mais avec des passages en français, les deux hommes ont abordé l’élection à venir en France.

    De même source, ils ont aussi parlé des enjeux de sécurité, de terrorisme et d’environnement, alors que Donald Trump est devenu il y a un peu plus d’un mois président des Etats-Unis.

    • Terrorisme: la «carte de France des radicalisations»

      Ils étaient 3 200 en mars 2015, ils sont désormais près de 16 000. Le nombre de Français inscrits sur le Fichier de traitement des signalés pour la prévention de la radicalisation à caractère terroriste (FSPRT), a presque quadruplé en deux ans. Selon nos confrères du journal Le Monde, qui citent un rapport du ministère de l’Intérieur, la majorité de ces « signalés » vit dans les départements les plus peuplés. De quoi établir une « carte de France de la radicalisation ».

      C’est en région parisienne que résident le plus grand nombre de personnes « signalées ». En tête du classement, le département de Seine-Saint-Denis compte près de 900 signalements depuis avril 2014, devant Paris, les Hauts-de-Seine et le Val-de-Marne.

      Le Nord, les Bouches-du-Rhône et la région lyonnaise occupent les 4e, 5e et 6e places du classement. Ce sont donc, sans surprise, les départements les plus peuplés qui sont les plus touchés par la radicalisation.

      Mais les zones rurales ne sont pas épargnées. Rapporté à la population, le nombre de signalements dans certains départements du sud et du midi de la France est proche de ceux de la région parisienne.

      Autre enseignement de ce rapport, le profil des personnes radicalisées : 17% sont mineures, 27% sont des femmes et dans un peu plus d’un cas sur trois il s’agit de convertis à l’islam.

      Ces chiffres regroupent les personnes signalées par un proche, un collègue ou un ami, mais aussi par les services de l’Etat. Les profils les plus durs sont suivis par la DGSI, la Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure.

  16. BREITBART -SHOCK VIDEO: Muslim Racially Abuses ‘Pork Eating’ Polish Male, Strikes Woman

    A shocking video of a Muslim man apparently racially abusing and physically assaulting a couple has caused outrage online, but has failed to trigger much interest from Police or the mainstream media.

    The video, which went viral Friday morning after being shared on Twitter, appears to show a male with a heavy Polish accent being called a “pig” and “son of a bitch”, and a woman being spat at and struck by a man in traditional robes.

    London’s Metropolitan Police said they were “monitoring this thread should further info come to light” on Twitter, but “as a minimum requirement” needed to know the location of the incident before it could be reported as a crime.

    The license plates of both a hatchback and taxi involved in the incident are clearly visible in the footage.

    Imagine if a white person did this to a Muslim, it would be national news pic.twitter.com/MmSlWKnNii

    — Tommy Robinson March 2, 2017

    The video seemingly shows the aftermath of a traffic incident. A man in traditional Muslim dress with a northern accent says, “yeah, kurwa [polish for whore] your mum you son of a bitch!” to the Polish-sounding man.

    “I’m f*cking in the country you pr*ck. F*cking knob head,” he also rants.

    Next, he confronts a woman filming the confrontation and takes a photo of her. “Get that fucking phone out of my face before I smack it one, you son of a bitch!” he yells at her.

    Turning back to the towering Polish man, he continues: “Look at you – you eat pork and you look like pork, you fucking pig – you fucking pussy!” he yells.

    “This is racist,” the man responds.

    “I called you a pork bastard, I didn’t call you a white bastard,” responds the Muslim man.

    “Race or religion based, mate,” the man retorts, as the Muslim man backs away from him and turns to assault a woman.

    He first prepares to spit on the woman, only to dribble on himself, before lashing out and knocking the phone off balance, yelling “fucking move it then!”

    The woman screaming in distress, “don’t touch me!” as the footage ends.

  17. “Useless” Yemen Raid Gave Us Names of Al Qaeda Terrorists in the West
    March 3, 2017
    Daniel Greenfield

    Remember that “worthless” Yemen raid that produced “no actionable intelligence” and was a complete “failure”. Aside from yielding the numbers of hundreds of Al Qaeda terrorists. Including some in the West.

    Several US officials told CNN Thursday that the US is now taking action to locate and monitor hundreds of people or “contacts” found as part the intelligence retrieved during the deadly raid last month in Yemen targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

    Some of these people are believed to be in the West, but not in the United States.

    The government is taking action to find and monitor these AQAP-linked individuals because of the threat they may pose to Europe, the officials added.The fact that officials said they are actively pursuing leads uncovered from the raid indicates that the intelligence was indeed actionable despite some media reports to the contrary.</blockquote?

    In short the media lied. It spent a week churning out fake news from anonymous sources. Most of which probably lead on a string back to Obama's Goebbels, Ben Rhodes.

  18. Bernie Sanders Wants to Divert US Aid to Israel to Hamas

    Daniel Greenfield

    Just when you thought that Bernie Sanders couldn’t be any more miserable of a human being, he proves you wrong.

    After burning through a fortune in small dollar donations from his contributors by flying around on a private jet and serving luxury foods to his sycophants, then setting up a new dubious organization to continue cashing in on them, after lying about Israel’s war against Islamic terror, he’s at it again.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders asked David Friedman, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to Israel, whether he would back using funds earmarked for assistance to Israel to help rebuild the Gaza Strip.

    Sanders, in a letter he handed Friedman after they met Wednesday, also asked whether he thinks the tax-exempt status of groups that raise funds for Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria should be reviewed.

    Al Arabiya online reported that soldiers descended from the helicopters and engaged in a gun battle with al Qaeda militants for about a half-hour in the area of al-Saeed, in the Shabwah Governorate.”

  22. Iranian Official: We Can Force Trump to Keep Nuclear Deal

    Iran has the power to compel the Trump administration to abide by the July 2015 nuclear deal, a top Tehran regime official asserted on Wednesday, the semi-official state news agency Fars reported.

    Referring to President Donald Trump’s Tuesday address to a joint session of Congress, Mohsen Rezaee — the secretary of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — wrote on Instagram, “The US president has bragged about imposing sanctions against several Iranian individuals and firms, saying that he has reaffirmed his unbreakable alliance with Israel and that he would continue pressures on Iran.”

    “Mr. Trump! Your warnings are a political trick to defy your undertakings under the nuclear deal,” he continued. “(But) I ensure you that we will do something that you would be forced to…comply with all your nuclear deal undertakings instead of issuing warnings.”
