NGO warns of ‘insular’ Australia as govt slashes $223m from foreign aid (asiancorrespondent, May 10, 2017)
https://asiancorrespondent.com/2017/05/ngo-warns-insular-australia-govt-slashes-223m-foreign-aid/#0ASwyW1rM8V4zJPG.97
“HANDING down its federal budget the Australian government announced it would cut overseas aid by AUD303.3 million (US$223 million), with international aid agency Caritas warning it meant the country was becoming more “insular.”
The ruling, conservative Liberal-National Coalition announced its fourth consecutive reduction in the country’s international contribution as part of the Budget 2017-18, adding to a total of AUD11 billion (US$8.1 billion) in cuts over only a few years. The cuts in this budget will cover boosted defence and security spending.
Australian aid organisations have responded with resounding disappointment, with many noting the UN’s announcement in March that the world was facing its largest humanitarian crisis since it was founded in 1945…”
Racism plays a role in migrants’ exclusion in Denmark: report (thelocal, May 10, 2017)
https://www.thelocal.dk/20170510/racism-plays-a-key-role-in-migrants-exclusion-in-denmark-report
“Anti-migrant political discourses and exclusionary migration policies are having a disproportionate and harmful impact on migrants, including in Denmark, according to a new report by NGO European Network Against Racism (ENAR).
The report, which covers 26 EU countries, says that migrants across the block are increasingly the targets of racist violence and speech and face discriminatory policies and attitudes hindering their access to the labour market.
Racist attacks against migrants, barriers in the labour market and ethnic profiling and discriminatory policing of migrants are all mentioned by the report as being part of the increasingly difficult situation faced by newcomers to EU countries.
Danish incidents cited as evidence of the trend include nationalist Danish People’s Party MP Martin Henriksen telling an 18-year-old high school student, who was born in Denmark to a Danish mother and Iranian father, during a TV debate that he did not automatically consider him to be Danish.
“You can’t jump to the conclusion that you are Danish, just because you are born and raised in Denmark, speak Danish, and study at a Danish school. That is just absurd,” Henriksen said during the debate.
By making such a statement, Henriksen excluded Danish citizens with a foreign background from the Danish national identity, concluded the report, stating that “the typical markers of what would traditionally be one’s national identity such as birth place, language, education were not enough and racial and cultural heritage was the defining factor used for exclusion in this instance.”
A second example taken from Danish cultural and political life is the advertisements placed by immigration minister Inger Støjberg in Lebanese newspapers telling refugees not to come to Denmark.
Significant cuts to social benefits for refugees have also been made since Støjberg’s Venstre (Liberal) party returned to government following the 2015 election.
“Since the election in June 2015, the new Danish government cut benefits to asylum seekers and migrants by up to 50%, with the purpose of making Denmark less attractive for refugees. Foreigners’ retirement pension and child benefits have also been changed. This means that access to social benefits is now dependent on the length of residence in Denmark,” says the report.
The report also cites the case of an asylum seeker who was severely assaulted by a three masked men, an arson attack on a bus used by the inhabitants of an asylum centre, and three incidents in which threatening graffiti was sprayed on asylum centres’ walls.
Using results from the last two general elections, the increased percentage of the popular vote gained by the Danish People’s Party was cited by the report as an example of what it calls “Electoral success for political parties using xenophobic/racist ideas and policies”.
“The European Union and political leaders must stop the vicious circle of exclusion and hate and focus on long-term solutions to address hate crime and discrimination targeting migrants. At a deeper level, we need to question the racial biases underpinning European and national migration policies in order to ensure the real inclusion and participation of migrants in European society,” ENAR Chair Amel Yacef said in a press statement.
Georgina Siklossy, senior communications officer with ENAR, told The Local that there was a risk of toughening policies against migration and xenophobia feeding off each other, including in Denmark.
“Restrictive policies and anti-migrant discourses contribute to an overall negative climate of hostility towards migrants, which can then legitimise discrimination, racist abuse or, in some cases, attacks targeting migrants,” Siklossy said via email.
“Policies and discourses portraying migrants as a ‘problem’ have an impact on public perceptions of migrants and also on people who have lived in Denmark or Europe for two, three or more generations and continue to be regarded as ‘alien elements’,” she added.”
That group sounds very biased.
Maybe their behaviour is what is “impacting” the public perception, creating barriers.
This article is trying to pin the blame for the disliked of non-indigenous individuals on the natives without acknowledging these 3rd world invaders do not fit in or have any desire to fit in.
Who ever wrote this would never come on the idea that they are purposefully antagonistic toward their host environment and purposefully do not want to assimilate.
Case in point:
Brooklyn, New York (not Saudi Arabia, Iraq or Iran)
Imagine what the overall effect would be if the National Guard threw a massive cordon around one of these Muslim mass-festivities and did a 100% background check on every single individual in attendance, including fingerprinting and recording full biometrics on anyone not carrying verifiable identification.
This is why I so admire Matt Bracken’s approach in his preview, “Bastille Day in the Caliphate“. Every time these shites try to flaunt their numbers, pull a strategic jujitsu (hat tip: Takuan Seiyo) on them and convert it into a vulnerability—just as Bracken does in his excerpt.
Make sure that mass gatherings of Muslims—like the above one in Brooklyn—become opportunities to intimidate and scrutinize every last one of them. No-go Zones? Think: “Target Rich Environment”.
Do this enough times and such flagrant displays of non-assimilation will become rather unpopular. Remember: FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt). Instilling a sense of hesitancy—that replaces current Muslim pugnacity and truculence—would go a long way towards diminishing their ability or willingness to dominate the existing sociopolitical narrative.
While everything above represents mere baby steps when compared the full suite of kinetic, legal, and political measures that will become necessary to prevail, the resulting boost in public morale and general sense of “something actually being done” would be priceless.
“Bastille Day” is overly optimistic, I think. I hope not, though.

“The visit of US President Donald Trump to Saudi Arabia aims to draw a new regional and global counterterrorism road map.
Sources confirmed to Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the roadmap will take into consideration the benefit from the Saudi-led Islamic military alliance formed in late 2015 to counter terrorism with the participation of 41 countries.
The Kingdom has successfully fought terrorism through preemptive strikes by foiling more than 95% of terror bids.
Meanwhile, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman has sent invitations to Muslim and Arab leaders for a summit with Donald Trump.
Among those who have been invited are King Abdullah II of Jordan, King Mohammed VI of Morocco, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Niger’s Mahamadou Issoufou, Yemeni President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“he secretary-general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has urged Muslim states to ensure that their counterterrorism strategies are compliant with international human rights charters as well as laws pertaining to refugees and humanitarian issues.
Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen made the call while inaugurating the thematic debate of the 11th Session of the OIC Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) at the OIC headquarters in Jeddah on Tuesday. The theme was “Protecting human rights while countering terrorism.”
“Counterterrorism measures such as illegal and arbitrary detentions, extrajudicial killings, racial and ethnic profiling, and illegal settlements pose serious challenges to human rights and the rule of law,” said Al-Othaimeen. “Such measures foster an atmosphere of mistrust, resentment and marginalization in a manner that weakens long-term security of countries. Such counterterrorism measures also disproportionately impact certain sections of the population, including ethnic or religious minorities and immigrants, undermining social cohesion and intensifies radicalization,” he pointed out….”

Saudis paid for US veteran trips against 9/11 lawsuit law (abcnews, May 11, 2017)

“A Saudi-funded lobbying campaign involving U.S. military veterans that targeted a new law allowing Sept. 11 victims’ families to sue the Middle Eastern country in U.S. courts saw some organizers disclose their activities late or vaguely, stymieing public knowledge of the scale of foreign influence in the campaign.
The chief lobbyist for the Saudi Embassy in Washington said it encouraged its subcontractors to be as transparent as possible. But the campaign and the allegations surrounding it show what can happen when the often-murky world of lobbying intersects with emotive American issues like patriotism, protecting U.S. troops and the memory of Sept. 11. It also highlights how federal laws governing disclosures of foreign influence in American politics are only as strong as they’re enforced…”
“The chief lobbyist for the Saudi Embassy in Washington…”
Isn’t this a specific legal definition that would be more at home amongst the several hundred pages of a felony indictment for treason?
As long as the entity is registered as funded by any given foreign government, it’s legal. The venality of those Americans who changed their position on Saudi liability in exchange for lavish vacations- well, that is what it is.

Before stepping down, Comey dropped this bombshell in re Muslim refugees in U.S.
By Onan Coca May 10, 2017
Before he was fired, FBI Director James Comey made an astounding revelation to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
When asked about the number of ongoing terror-related investigations, Comey explained that there were about 2,000 ongoing terrorism investigations in the U.S. right now. About half were focused on home-grown terrorism and half on terrorism connected to outside groups. However, the most surprising statistic that Comey revealed was that a full 15% of those terrorism cases involved (wait for it) Muslim refugees.
To say that refugees disproportionately make up terrorism suspects would be the understatement of the year. (By the way, an even greater proportion of these terrorism cases simply involve non-refugee Muslims. Why is it that Muslims make up the overwhelming majority of terrorism investigations? Are they being racially profiled? Or is the most likely answer that Islam leads its adherents to violence? I think you know the truth.)
Here’s what Comey told Sen. Thom Tillis

Noam Chomsky Has Gone Senile
Rarely does Sargon of Akkad make such a glaring error. Especially when dealing with the monumental exaggerations of a loon like Noam Chomsky.
Be that as it may, when Sargon exclaims, “You senile old coot!”, we all know that he meant to say, “You senile old cü*t!”.
Please carry on.
If you don’t want to a spade, “a spade”, you’ll let him off on “senility”. If so, he was born senile.
He is -in fact- a commie enemy of this country. Loathesome creep, defiling the noble halls of MIT. (By the way, his linguistic theories suck, totally discredited by subsequent research.)
As true to his loyalties, he’s been a vicious enemy of Israel – sorta forever. Wasn’t interested AT ALL in the campaign to free Refuseniks from the Soviet Union.

Mother and daughter in ‘terror plot’
A mother and daughter are among three women charged in what would be Britain’s first alleged all-female Islamist terrorist plot.
Rizlaine Boular, 21, was shot by counterterrorism police during a raid two weeks ago at a house in Harlesden, northwest London, during which her alleged accomplice Khawla Barghouthi, 20, was also arrested.
Ms Boular’s mother, Mina Dich, 43, was arrested in Kent on the same day. The women are accused of conspiring between April 11 and April 28 this year to murder “a person or persons unknown”.
Ms Boular, who was arrested in hospital after being treated for the gunshot wound, is accused of engaging in conduct “with the intention of committing acts of terrorism” over the same period. Her mother and Ms Barghouthi are accused of having assisted her.
Two men and a 16-year-old boy, who were also arrested after armed police stormed the Harlesden address and fired CS gas canisters into the top floor on April 27, were released without charge last week.
Three teenage women subsequently arrested in east London as part of the operation have also all been released without charge…….

Europe: Denying the Threat of Islamic Imperialism
by Maria Polizoidou
May 11, 2017 at 4:00 am
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10236/europe-islamic-imperialism
The Western world can no longer ignore the latest elephant in the room: Islamic imperialism. Europe has gone so far as to hamper free speech on the subject, apparently preferring to put the safety of its citizens at risk over admitting that the elephant exists.
Meanwhile, Muslim countries make not the slightest effort to hide their intentions, as recent actions of 18 such states at the United Nations illustrate. They cooperated in the preparation of the report released in March by the U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UNESCWA), which accused Israel of “the crime of apartheid,” despite knowing full well that such a baseless claim would be rejected by the world body now that Donald Trump is at the helm of the free world. The reason they went ahead with it anyway was to convey to the West that delegitimizing the Jewish state was merely the first step in a master plan to unravel all of Judeo-Christian civilization and values.
For a body such as UNESCWA to declare the State of Israel in an official Institute’s report, as being guilty of “the crime of apartheid” according to international law, shows that Islamic expansionism is a real and an active political problem.
UNESCWA must have had some idea, before publishing the report, that such a loopy conclusion could not be adopted, even by the UN, which has been doing its utmost to rewrite historical facts. In the last few years, UNESCO has repeatedly declared pre-Islamic historical sites Islamic.
Nevertheless, UNESCWA proceeded to pass this surreal political concoction, probably to declare to the Western world again its attempts to delegitimize the State of Israel and all the freedoms it represents in the Judeo-Christian world that might threaten the expansion of Islam.
“Europe: Denying the Threat of Islamic Imperialism”
Calling Islamic imperialism, “the latest elephant in the room”, is like insisting that giant bears (Agriotherium), saber-toothed cats (Homotherium, Machairodus, Megantereon) and “false” saber-toothed cats (Dinofelis) never posed the least threat to humankind’s continued existence.
For much of the past two millennia Islam has been the the single greatest threat to humanity with only Nazism and Communism posing the least sort of recent challenge regarding Muslim claims to modern day supremacy in the category of slaughtering entire cultures.
Spain: “Pacifist” Imam Arrested on Terror Charges
The New York Times once praised his moderation
by Soeren Kern
May 11, 2017 at 5:00 am
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10332/hesham-shashaa
Spanish authorities have arrested a Muslim cleric — whom the New York Times once praised for his efforts to fight radicalization within Germany’s Islamic community — for alleged ties to the Islamic State.
Hesham Shashaa (aka Abu Adam), a 46-year-old Egyptian-Palestinian, was detained near Alicante in southeastern Spain on April 26 on charges of aiding the Islamic State, extolling terrorism and promoting Salafi-jihadism.
The Spanish Interior Ministry said that Shashaa had facilitated the travel to Spain of Islamic State jihadists from Syria and Iraq by providing them with money, refuge and fake documents.
Most recently, Shashaa had made arrangements for two jihadists — who are the subjects of international arrest warrants for their membership of the Islamic State — to travel from Turkey to Spain by providing them with false passports.
In addition, Shashaa fraudulently tried to obtain for two jihadists letters of invitation with the aim of facilitating their travel from Egypt to Spain.
According to the Spanish Interior Ministry, Shashaa has also been charged with disseminating Islamic State propaganda:

Muslim and LGBT communities to mark Ramadan with meal at Pride in London festival
The capital’s LGBT and Muslim communities will meet to mark Ramadan as part of this year’s Pride in London festival.
The Big Gay Iftar, at St Andrew’s Church in Southwark, will see participants join in the traditional Islamic sunset evening meal.
Pride in London said the event on June 24, open to anyone, will allow people “to talk to one another, learn about each others’ faiths, cultures and sexualities and spread some love.”
The inaugural Big Gay Iftar took place last year in response to the killing of 49 people in the Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando by an Islamic State sympathiser. This year’s expanded meeting is expected to be even more popular.
It is part of two weeks of celebration of the capital’s LGBT+ residents. Pride in London feature more than 60 new and returning events in the run-up to the march on July 8………

ORLANDO, Fla. — The wife of a man blamed for one of the worst mass shootings in recent U.S. history has lost her appeal to be released from jail.
A panel of the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled last week that Noor Salman should remain in jail until her trial next March.
Salman is charged with obstruction and aiding and abetting her husband, Omar Mateen, who opened fire at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, last June. Forty-nine people were killed.

U.S. to Ban Laptops in All Cabins of Flights From Europe, Officials Say
Acting on fears that terrorists can build bombs into laptops, Homeland Security has decided to expand the ban it imposed on Middle Eastern flights. Computers will now be checked as baggage.

CLIVE IRVING
05.10.17 3:42 PM ET
The Department of Homeland Security plans to ban laptops in the cabins of all flights from Europe to the United States, European security officials told The Daily Beast. The announcement is expected Thursday.
Initially a ban on laptops and tablets was applied only to U.S.-bound flights from 10 airports in North Africa and the Middle East. The ban was based on U.S. fears that terrorists have found a way to convert laptops into bombs capable of bringing down an airplane. It is unclear if the European ban will also apply to tablets.

MONTREAL – Barack Obama to deliver keynote speech to Montreal Board of Trade in June
MONTREAL — Former U.S. president Barack Obama will deliver a keynote speech to the Montreal Board of Trade on June 6, the organization announced Wednesday.
Obama will speak as part of a series featuring international leaders.
The 44th president briefly dropped out of sight after November’s election but has re-emerged for a series of public appearances in recent weeks.
He last came to Canada for a state visit in Ottawa in June 2016.
The president of Montreal’s Board of Trade said it is an honour to host Obama as Montreal celebrates its 375th anniversary.
“At a time when the world is seeking more certainty and stability, and as globalization is forcing us to rethink our existing economic and democratic models, we are proud to host someone who has devoted his actions to human rights, free trade agreements, diplomacy, and economic development,” Michel Leblanc said in a statement.
“He has demonstrated that harmonious relations between nations are a powerful pathway to reinforcing peace, trade and the development of new markets.”
The board said its leaders series has previously featured former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton as well as Nicolas Sarkozy, Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair.

“Two civilians were killed and three others injured Thursday when Indian and Pakistani soldiers traded gunfire and shelled each other’s border posts in the disputed Kashmir region, officials from the two sides said.
Indian army spokesman Lt. Col. Manish Mehta said Pakistani soldiers attacked Indian military posts on Wednesday night with automatic weapons and mortars in Nowshera sector along the highly militarized Line of Control dividing Kashmir between the nuclear-armed rivals.
Mehta said the Pakistani army “initiated indiscriminate firing,” and called it an “unprovoked” violation of a 2003 cease-fire accord. Indian police said a 35-year-old woman was killed and her husband was injured when a Pakistani shell hit their home.
However, Pakistan denied that it initiated the clash and accused Indian soldiers of firing and shelling in at least in five sectors, causing the death of a civilian and injuries to two others. The Foreign Ministry said it summoned an Indian diplomat in Islamabad to register a protest and “strongly condemned the unprovoked cease-fire violations” by Indian troops.
In the past, both countries have often accused the other of initiating border skirmishes that led to the deaths of soldiers and civilians…”

The lawyer for the Palestinian known as Zayne Abu Zubaydah says in a letter released Thursday that his client wants to testify at the U.S. base in Cuba next week despite the legal risk because he believes he is innocent, wants a chance to address the public and doesn’t think he would ever be charged anyway.
“Abu Zubaydah will take the stand, unafraid of the truth that will emerge, confident that the world will come to know that he has committed no crimes,” lawyer Mark Denbeaux wrote in the letter, a copy of which was provided to The Associated Press…”
UN officials urge India to lift social media ban in Kashmir (abcnews, May 11, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/officials-urge-india-lift-social-media-ban-kashmir-47345610
“Two United Nations special rapporteurs urged the Indian government Thursday to lift a ban on social media sites and mobile internet service in the Indian-controlled portion of disputed Kashmir.
The U.N. special rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye, and the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, Michel Forst, said in a statement issued in Geneva that the ban had “disproportionate impact on the fundamental rights of everyone in Kashmir” and had the “character of collective punishment.”
Such restrictions “fail to meet the standards required under international human rights law to limit freedom of expression,” Kaye wrote.
Authorities in Indian-controlled Kashmir late last month banned 22 social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter, and 3G and 4G cellphone data services for one month in an effort to calm tensions after videos depicting the alleged abuse of Kashmiris by Indian forces fueled widespread protests. The government said the one-month ban was necessary for public safety because anti-India activists were misusing social media.
Forst said such blocking “disrupts the free exchange of ideas and the ability of individuals to connect with one another and associate peacefully on matters of shared concern.”
Indian telecom engineers struggled for at least three days to block the social media sites after the ban was imposed on April 26, drawing rebuke and mocking by many Kashmiris. Once in place, the ban has had little impact on the ground as many Kashmiris have continued using the banned sites and chat applications through proxy servers.
Protests and clashes are an almost daily occurrence in Indian-administered Kashmir, where anti-India sentiment runs deep among the mostly Muslim population after decades of armed rebellion and military crackdowns…”
Belgian language book for migrants refers to bombs, jails (abcnews, May 11, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/belgian-textbook-french-students-refers-bombs-jails-47345888
“An Iraqi refugee and his Belgian teacher are dismayed to have been given a French lesson book with references to bomb throwers and jails, suggesting that migrants might be extremists.
Raad Al Azzawi, 38, has been taking French lessons at a school in a Brussels suburb since September. He was given the book to learn and practice the language.
The text contained sentences such as: “Daddy throws a bomb and goes to prison.”; “I am eating sandwiches in prison.”; “He shows me the bomb and the prison.”
Al Azzawi told The Associated Press Thursday that “in Iraq, there is a lot of misery, and I saw these writings and frankly, I was very sad.”
His teacher, Catherine Lemaire, said it suggests asylum-seekers are “considered either as stupid or as terrorists and for me this is unacceptable.”
She took photos of the pages and published them on Facebook when she found out they were given to migrants and asylum-seekers to help them learn French…”
Who is the stupid here…
“Who is the stupid here…”
All of the above.
Exactly!
Hezbollah says it has secured Lebanon’s border with Syria (abcnews, May 11, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/hezbollah-secured-lebanons-border-syria-47349709
“The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah says the group is pulling back from positions along Lebanon’s eastern border with Syria after securing it.
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah declared Thursday to thousands of his supporters: “The mission is accomplished.”
He spoke via satellite link at a gathering marking the death of a top Hezbollah commander in Syria last year.
The group has sent thousands of its supporters to Syria to shore up President Bashar Assad’s military in Syria’s civil war and continues to be engaged in battles across many parts of the war-torn country. Its fighters have also fought battles against Sunni militants along the northeastern border with Syria.
Nasrallah said the group will maintain a security presence along the border with Syria to protect against any new infiltration by militants.”

“Somalia’s president on Thursday called for an end to the arms embargo on his long-chaotic country, saying that if the military doesn’t have more sophisticated equipment in the fight against the al-Shabab extremist group, “definitely this war will continue for another 10 years.”
President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed has repeatedly vowed to defeat al-Shabab within two years. He spoke to reporters at the end of a high-level conference to address the Horn of Africa nation’s deepening humanitarian and security crisis…”
Somalia leader wants arms embargo lifted to fight al-Shabab
Here’s an idea: Why not let Somalia sort this crap out, unassisted, for a few decades so that they can get a real taste for what happens when anyone disregards the Islamic threat.
At the very least, we won’t have to endure a future full of their whinging about Somali famines and refugee problems.
Pentagon tries to ease Turkey’s concerns with arming Kurds (abcnews, May 11, 2017)

“U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis made clear Thursday that America is committed to protecting Turkey after angering its NATO ally with a deal to arm anti-Islamic State fighters in Syria that Turkey considers terrorists.
Mattis stressed the enduring nature of the U.S.-Turkey relationship in a meeting with Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, the first face-to-face contact between officials from the two countries since the U.S. announcement about military support for the Syrian Kurds.
The defense secretary, speaking to reporters aboard a U.S. military airplane after the meeting in London, characterized the discussions as “honest, transparent and helpful.” Their half-hour conversation took place before an international conference on Somalia, and Mattis said he had no doubt the U.S. and Turkey would “work this out with due consideration and significant attention paid to Turkey’s security, to NATO’s security and the continuing campaign against ISIS.”…”

CIA director warns of Venezuela weapons transfers
WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) – CIA Director Mike Pompeo said on Thursday there are large caches of weapons in Venezuela and a risk of them falling into the wrong hands as the country grapples with economic crisis and street protests.
“It is a real threat,” the Central Intelligence Agency director said, under questioning from Republican Senator Marco Rubio, during a Senate hearing on worldwide security threats.
However, he said, “We have not seen any of those major arms transfers.” (Reporting by Patricia Zengerle; Editing by Frances Kerry)

Remember the collapse of the Soviet Union, weapons were left everywhere and a lot were sold on the black market. This is what will happen on a smaller scale.
N.Korea claims sovereign right to ruthlessly punish Americans
SEOUL, May 11 (Reuters) – North Korea said on Thursday it was its sovereign right to “ruthlessly punish” American citizens it has detained for crimes against its government system, saying U.S. media’s description of such arrests as a bargaining ploy was “pure ignorance.”
The North’s KCNA news agency said the crimes of recent Americans detained by its authorities will soon be revealed.
Two American citizens affiliated with a private university in the North’s capital have been detained in the past month. (Reporting by Jack Kim and Ju-min Park; editing by John Stonestreet

Any American that is stupid enough to still be in North Korea is at risk of arrest and imprisonment, they don’t have to have done anything besides being American.
This is one of the moves Kim is making to try and force the US to pay him to remain silent and peaceful, yesterday I posted an article where a North Korean Ambassador said that NORK will test missiles and nukes when and where Kim decides. The when and where are what worries me because you don’t have to use missiles or bombers to deliver a nuclear weapon, a simple little tramp cargo ship will do the job.
Kim and China will push until PDJT (President Donald J Trump) attacks North Korea, then China will probably set back and let us take out the Korean regime while using its troops on the border to move in and seize part of North Korea as a buffer zone.
The big question is what will Iran and Russia do in the middle east while we are tied up in the far east? Obama cut our military to the point where we can’t fight two wars at once (Iran and Afghanistan are two fronts in the same war) and our enemies know this.
“Kim and China will push until PDJT (President Donald J Trump) attacks North Korea, then China will probably set back and let us take out the Korean regime while using its troops on the border to move in and seize part of North Korea as a buffer zone. ”
This must not be allowed to pass.
China, and China alone, is the one upon whose shoulders must fall upon the responsibility for creating and solving this nuclear nightmare.
Despite how
dicklessspineless 0bama’s eight long years of allowing pere et fil Jong Il and Jong-Un to acquire nuclear weapons—respectively, it is the USSR and Communist China (for the most part) that bear a preponderance of blame for this nuclear impasse coming to be.Trump’s main mission is to keep this entire conflagration at a not-so-gentle simmer so as to force Red China into taking measures that see Fat Boy rendered and liquidated.
China is going to do their best to see that we are the ones that take Kim out, and no matter how the pot is simmering there will be a point where we will have to move. The point where we will have no choice but to move, China and Russia know this and will try to ensure that this point is reached before they move.
This is going to be a game of chicken and after a certain point we can’t let Kim continue to threaten us.
I agree.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-palestine-mosque-call-to-prayer-banned-bill-passes-a7416121.html
Representatives of Israel’s Knesset have given their approval to what is known as the “muezzin bill” banning religious leaders from using loudspeakers or public address systems to summon worshippers for prayers.
The Ministerial Committee for Legislation debated the bill on Sunday before authorising it for a parliamentary vote. It is likely to be passed, since it has the backing of the country’s ruling coalition.
Beautiful. Much like laws that target car audio systems which can be heard from more than a distance of 50 feet, making neighborhoods (and entire nations) Islam-unfriendly to mosques that blast calls-to-prayer—even as they file lawsuits against the bells of Christian churches—is just one of the many ways to ensure that Muslims feel unwelcome.
University Of Missouri Decided To Take Black Lives Matter Seriously. The Result: Nobody Enrolled.
Over a year and a half after the infamous #Concerned1950 students made waves at the University of Missouri, the university is finally reaping the benefits of caving into the Black Lives Matter rhetoric. According to Heat Street, the incoming freshman class at Mizzou is only 4,009 students. This is a staggering 35% decrease from the entering class in Fall 2015 when the protests occurred following four questionable incidents on campus.

Ok – found a version of the Joe Rogan interview of Dr. Jordan Peterson on the topic of Kek, His Prophet Pepe and his land, the Republic of Kekistan. In this particular video, the OP inserted relevant graphics (not present in the original interview) and also added the tune ‘Shadilay’ to the background. Shadilay is the official anthem of Kekistan (for long and complicated but totally cool reasons).

Democrat Senator Wants Mandated Diversity in Congress
Nevada’s Cortez Masto floats fewer white lawmakers, staff as a matter of federal policy
by Edmund Kozak | Updated 11 May 2017 at 6:26 AM
The Senate’s first Latina, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, is also the first female senator to suggest diversity quotas in place of democratic selection for members of Congress.
The liberal senator, who won former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s old Nevada seat, made her comments during an appearance on Politico’s “Women Rule” series of podcasts.

If we’re trashing 1-person/1-vote, I suggest we come up with a formula that includes:
• substantive work history or private-sector jobs created (my anti-hack bias);
• background checks (wife-beaters, serial lawfare complainants banned);
• baseline literacy/numeracy testing (I’ll yield on IQ minimum, maybe);
• willingness to submit to regular, random drug and alcohol abuse testing;
• income tax statements going back 10 years.

Having gone all-in on a Hillary Clinton victory ahead of the elections, Saudi Arabia has quickly pivoted in its “appreciation” of the Trump administration, and having realized that the fastest way to Trump’s heart is through the US Treasury’s bank account, it is preparing to invest an “unprecedented” amount of money in the US. According to Bloomberg, the Kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund will announce plans to “deploy as much as $40 billion into U.S. infrastructure.” The investment will likely be unveiled as early as next week when Trump is scheduled to visit the kingdom.
