My thought was, what a load of BS.
FB- the opening qualifiers by the guest in your video I find a bit weasely so as not to appear racist, even though islam is not a race. A person who identifies as Muslim is by definition, and to some degree, religious. They must therefore believe, to some extent, in sharia law. How does one separate a Muslim from sharia from Islam, which is what the learned guest seems to do?

OPCW probe: Sarin used in deadly April 5 attack in Syria (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/opcw-probe-sarin-deadly-april-attack-syria-48367935
“An investigation by the international chemical weapons watchdog confirmed Friday that sarin nerve gas was used in a deadly April 4 attack on a Syrian town, the latest confirmation of chemical weapons use in Syria’s civil war.
The attack on Khan Sheikhoun in Syria’s Idlib province left more than 90 people dead, including women and children, and sparked outrage around the world as photos and video of the aftermath, including quivering children dying on camera, were widely broadcast.
“I strongly condemn this atrocity, which wholly contradicts the norms enshrined in the Chemical Weapons Convention,” Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu said in a statement. “The perpetrators of this horrific attack must be held accountable for their crimes.”
The investigation did not apportion blame. Its findings will be used by a joint United Nations-OPCW investigation team to assess who was responsible.
The OPCW scheduled a meeting of its Executive Council July 5 to discuss the findings…”
The Latest: Russia says OPCW doesn’t prove Assad role (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/latest-uk-sarin-attack-syria-48368611
“Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the report by an international chemical weapons watchdog that confirmed a chemical attack in Syria doesn’t back claims by the U.S. and its allies that the substance was dropped from aircraft.
President Bashar Assad and his ally Russia have denied the government’s role in the April 4 attack, in which more than 90 people died.
Speaking Thursday at a conference in Moscow, said: “The report released by the OPCW (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) yesterday said they were not sure that the sarin found there had been airdropped in bombs. They don’t know how the sarin ended up there, yet tensions have been escalating for all these months.”
The U.S. State Department has reacted to the OPCW report saying its findings “reflect a despicable and highly dangerous record of chemical weapons use by the Assad regime.””
Suicide bombers hit Lebanon’s border area; 7 troops wounded (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/suicide-bombers-hit-lebanons-border-area-troops-wounded-48367725
“Suicide bombings, explosives and hand grenades targeted Lebanese soldiers during morning raids Friday in refugee settlements in a border area with Syria. The attacks killed only the attackers but seven troops were also wounded, the military said.
The Lebanese army has been battling militants who have thrived in the border area with Syria during the neighboring country’s civil war, now in its seventh year. Tiny Lebanon of 4.5 million people has also been grappling with an influx of over 1 million Syrian refugees who escaped violence at home to find refuge in Lebanon.
An army statement said the soldiers were conducting early morning raids on Friday in the border town of Arsal, when the attacks took place. The area was the scene of a major cross-border attack in 2014, when a number of soldiers were abducted.
The statement said that on one of the raids, at the al-Nour refugee settlement, three soldiers were wounded when a suicide bomber detonated his suicide belt near them. Three other men wearing suicide vests blew themselves up in the same camp while others detonated an explosive device. A military explosive expert defused four other devices, the army said.
At another settlement, al-Qariya, a fifth suicide bomber blew himself up, wounding no one.
Four soldiers were wounded when a hand grenade was tossed at the troops. Local media said over a hundred people were arrested during the raids.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.”
Iraqi troops in mop-up operations in Mosul after key gains (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/iraqi-troops-mop-operations-mosul-key-gains-48368610
“Iraqi troops were clearing up a key neighborhood in Mosul on Friday, commanders said, a day after making significant gains against Islamic State militants in the city and after the country’s prime minister declared an end to the extremist group’s self-proclaimed caliphate.
Lt. Gen. Abdul Wahab al-Saadi and Lt. Col. Salam Hussein told The Associated Press their forces were continuing to clear territory in the Old City after retaking the hugely symbolic al-Nuri Mosque on Thursday, following a dawn push into the Mosul neighborhood.
Al-Saadi said his forces were also continuing to push forward from the Old City and on Friday reached within 700 meters (766 yards) of the Tigris River, which roughly divides Mosul into an eastern and western half.
The mosque and its famed 12th century minaret were blown up by IS last week — an indication, the Iraqi government said, of the militants’ imminent loss of Mosul.
Later Thursday, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced that the full liberation of the city is near and that Iraq’s “brave forces will bring victory.”
The operation to retake Mosul, closely backed by the U.S.-led coalition, was launched in October, with the Iraqi government initially pledging the city would be liberated in 2016.
But instead, it has been a long and deadly fight — eight months on, IS holds less than two square kilometers (0.8 square miles) of the city. Clashes have displaced more than 850,000 people, according to the International Organization for Migration.
The Old City, with its tightly packed houses and narrow alleys, has seen some of the most difficult urban combat. Damaged and destroyed houses dot the areas retaken by Iraqi forces and the stench of rotting bodies rises from beneath collapsed buildings.
While the Islamic State group has not confirmed any Mosul losses, its media arm, the Aamaq news agency, carried reports of fierce fighting Friday on the city’s outskirts and in the neighborhoods of Bab Jadid, al-Mashahda and Bab al-Beidh, claiming IS fighters killed more than 50 Iraqi soldiers.
Though IS claims are often exaggerated, the fact that the reports made no mention of the Old City was significant and could be interpreted as indirect confirmation of the losses there.
Another IS media outlet, the weekly al-Nabaa, on Thursday cited an unnamed commander of the militants as saying that the battle for Mosul is a fight “either to achieve victory or die as a martyr.”
Some 300 IS fighters are thought to remain holed up inside the last Mosul districts, along with an estimated 50,000 civilians, according to the United Nations.
The al-Nuri Mosque, taken Thursday, was a symbolic win — the site is where IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made his only public appearance in July 2014, declaring the self-styled Islamic “caliphate” encompassing territories then-held by IS in Syria and Iraq.
But IS destroyed the mosque and its iconic leaning minaret last week, Iraqi and coalition officials said. IS blamed a U.S. airstrike for the blasts, a claim rejected by a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition who said coalition planes “did not conduct strikes in that area at that time.”
Al-Baghdadi’s fate remains unknown. Earlier this month, Moscow announced that he may have been killed in a Russian airstrike in late May on the outskirts of the Syrian city of Raqqa, which is being encircled by an array of anti-IS forces. Russian officials stressed, however, that the information was still “being verified through various channels.”
On Thursday, Iranian official Ali Shirazi, a representative of the country’s supreme leader in the powerful Revolutionary Guard, also suggested that al-Baghdadi had been killed, the official IRNA news agency reported. He did not elaborate. Iran and Russia are both staunch allies of Syrian president Bashar Assad.
The civilians who managed to escape Mosul on Thursday fled on foot, in waves. Soldiers shouted at men to lift their shirts to show they were not wearing explosives and rummaged through the few possessions people carried with them: identify papers, family photos, baby formula, diapers and clothing.
Nearly 1,000 civilians fled the Old City on Thursday, according to Col. Ali al-Kenani, an Iraqi intelligence officer at a west Mosul screening center. Families covered in dust huddled in the shade of half-destroyed storefronts waiting for flat-bed trucks to move them to camps.”
Germany passes law against online hate speech (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/german-parliament-debates-online-hate-speech-law-48368036
“German lawmakers approved a bill on Friday aimed at cracking down on hate speech on social networks, which critics say could have drastic consequences for free speech online.
The measure approved is designed to enforce the country’s existing limits on speech, including the long-standing ban on Holocaust denial. Among other things, it would fine social networking sites up to 50 million euros ($56 million) if they persistently fail to remove illegal content within a week, including defamatory “fake news.”
“Freedom of speech ends where the criminal law begins,” said Justice Minister Heiko Maas, who was the driving force behind the bill.
Maas said official figures showed the number of hate crimes in Germany increased by over 300 percent in the last two years.
Social media platforms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter have become a battleground for angry debates about Germany’s recent influx of more than 1 million refugees, with authorities struggling to keep up with the flood of criminal complaints.
Maas claimed that 14 months of discussion with major social media companies had made no significant progress. Last week, lawmakers from his Social Democratic Party and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right Union bloc agreed a number of amendments to give companies more time to check whether posts that are flagged to them are illegal, delegate the vetting process to a third party and ensure that users whose comments are removed can appeal the decision.
But human rights experts and the companies affected warn that the law risks privatizing the process of censorship and could have a chilling effect on free speech.
“This law as it stands now will not improve efforts to tackle this important societal problem,” Facebook said in a statement.
“We feel that the lack of scrutiny and consultation do not do justice to the importance of the subject. We will continue to do everything we can to ensure safety for the people on our platform,” the company said, noting that it is hiring 3,000 additional staff on top of 4,500 already working to review posts.
Aside from the hefty fine for companies, the law also provides for fines of up to 5 million euros for the person each company designates to deal with the complaints procedure if it doesn’t meet requirements.
Social networks also have to publish a report every six months detailing how many complaints they received and how they dealt with them…”
Cyberattack Forces West Virginia Hospital to Scrap Computers
Petya attack forces Princeton Community Hospital to use paper records as it scraps, rebuilds computer network
Princeton Community Hospital in rural West Virginia will scrap and replace its entire computer network after being struck by the cyberattack paralyzing computers globally.
The cyberattack, known as Petya, froze the hospital’s electronic medical record system early Tuesday, leaving doctors unable to review patients’ medical history or transmit laboratory and pharmacy orders, said Rose Morgan, the hospital’s vice president of patient care services.
Officials were unable to restore services, and found there was no way to pay a ransom for the return of their system. So, after consulting with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and cybersecurity experts, officials made the decision to replace the system.
Now, doctors, nurses and other hospital staff are adjusting to what will be days of working off paper forms to record vital signs, order medications and scribble notes.
“There is a lot more paper visible up on our units than there used to be,” Ms. Morgan said. “It was a bit of organized chaos at first. Now we’ve hit our stride.”

“A BBC journalist says he was detained on his arrival at Istanbul airport and deported from Turkey over his reports.
Jiyar Gol, a British citizen, wrote on his Twitter account Friday that he was searched and interrogated before being deported. He said the reason for his deportation were “my reports for the BBC.”
Gol, who is the partner of a Western diplomat based in Turkey, was returning from Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region where he was reporting for the BBC. He was forced to get on a flight to Irbil.
The Journalists Union of Turkey says 159 journalists have been jailed and some 150 news outlets have been closed down amid deepening concerns over media freedoms in the country. Several foreign journalists have been expelled.”
Afghan official: Taliban kill 6 police in western province (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)

“An Afghan official says the Taliban stormed a security post in western Farah province, killing at least six policemen and wounding three.
Abdul Marouf Folad, the provincial chief police, says the attack took place on Thursday night at the security post in the north of the provincial capital, also called Farah.
He says a gunbattle that followed lasted for three hours and also left nine Taliban fighters dead. He claims the Taliban fled the scene, after seizing ammunition and guns from the police
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but Taliban insurgents have increased their attacks against Afghan security forces across the country.
Earlier this week, they attacked a security post in western Herat province, killing at least 10 policemen there.”
Canada extends military mission in Iraq (memo, Jun 30, 2017)
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20170630-canada-extends-military-mission-in-iraq/
“Canadian troops working in Iraq will stay for at least another two years as part of a US-led coalition of countries fighting Daesh in the country.
“The threat posed by ISIS [Daesh] requires that Canadian soldiers stay until the end of March 2019 at least,” the Canadian defence minister was quoted as saying.
“Canada will spend about $371.4 million on its mission in Iraq over the next two years,” he said.
According to the plan, the Canadian troops will train potential new partners within the Iraqi security forces.
Canada has about 200 special forces operating in northern Iraq, as well as 50 troops performing medical duties, a helicopter, a surveillance aircraft and an air-to-air refuelling aircraft.
The United States is leading an international coalition of more than 60 countries which has been carrying out airstrikes against the terrorist group’s strongholds in Iraq and Syria for more than two years.
The coalition forces also provide advice and support to local forces in both countries.”
China builds new military facilities on South China Sea islands: think tank
China has built new military facilities on islands in the South China Sea, a U.S. think tank reported on Thursday, a move that could raise tensions with Washington, which has accused Beijing of militarizing the vital waterway.
The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI), part of Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies, said new satellite images show missile shelters and radar and communications facilities being built on the Fiery Cross, Mischief and Subi Reefs in the Spratly Islands.
The United States has criticized China’s build-up of military facilities on the artificial islands and is concerned they could be used to restrict free movement through the South China Sea, an important trade route.
Last month, a U.S. Navy warship sailed within 12 nautical miles of Mischief Reef in a so-called freedom of navigation operation, the first such challenge to Beijing’s claim to most of the waterway since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.

OECD: Last Year Saw Record Migration and those Migrants Won’t Be Leaving (breitbart, Jun 30, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/06/30/oecd-last-year-saw-record-migration-arent-leaving/
“The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) say last year a total of five million migrants flowed into industrialised countries – and those countries should be prepared for the migrants to stay.
The organisation said the total number of migrants who came to its list of 35 industrial countries in 2016 was around five million, up from 2015’s figure of 4.7 million. The OECD added they do not expect many – if any – of the migrants to return to their countries of origin in the near future, France24 reports.
Stefano Scarpetta, OECD Director for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, wrote in the report that countries “should focus on helping refugees who are likely to stay in the host country settle and integrate in the labour market and society”.
“This calls for a rethinking of both domestic policies and international cooperation,” he said.
Half of the requests for asylum in 2016 came from three countries: Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Around 1.6 million people requested asylum in OECD countries with Germany taking the most for a European country with 675,000 people requesting asylum.
The OECD also noted that migrants originating from different countries would seek out specific countries to claim asylum in. Many of the Sundanese attempted to get to France whilst many Nigerians chose to remain in Italy, which has seen the most migration in the first half of this year.
Earlier this week Italy saw 13,500 migrants arrive on its shores within a 48 hour period. Officials say around 73,380 migrants have come to Italy in the first six months of 2017.
The increase has led to the Italian government threatening to close ports to NGO migrant rescue ships who often pick up the migrants just off the coast of Libya. Maurizio Massari, Italy’s ambassador to the European Union (EU), has reportedly handed a letter to the bloc stating that Italy simply cannot handle the influx.
“The ambassador highlighted that Italy’s efforts have been enormous and well beyond international obligations, and under the current circumstances it is difficult for our authorities to allow further disembarkations of migrants,” an Italian diplomat said.
Whilst the OECD has called for further steps to integrate migrants, many countries like Germany and Sweden are finding the process increasingly difficult. Germany has so far had few migrants entering the labour force with 74 per cent estimated to only be fit for menial labour.
A lack of integration has also led to a rising surge of sex crimes across countries who have taken large numbers of migrants like Austria where migrant sex crime increased 133 per cent in 2016.
Mass migration is also starting to affect the demographics of European cities like Frankfurt where native Germans are now, for the first time, a minority.”
“The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) say last year a total of five million migrants flowed into industrialised countries – and those countries should be prepared for the migrants to stay.”
Oh, and by the way, we should get used to daily terrorist attacks as well.
Rarely in human history has there been such a concentrated potential for the rapid and violent ejection of so many people. Nor has any previous situation of this sort been so binary.
U.S., Hardening Line on China, Approves $1 Billion Arms Sale to Taiwan
WASHINGTON — The State Department approved on Thursday selling more than $1 billion in arms to Taiwan in yet another sign that the Trump administration is embracing a far more confrontational approach with China.
Heather Nauert, a State Department spokeswoman, underscored that the military sales have no effect on the United States’ “One China” policy, which President Trump suggested in December may be under review. Mr. Trump later affirmed to Chinese President Xi Jinping that he would honor the decades-old policy, under which the United States recognized a single Chinese government in Beijing and severed its diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
The arms sale is the most tangible sign yet that Mr. Trump’s honeymoon with Mr. Xi is over. The American president had set aside tough moves on trade and regional issues in an informal quid pro quo for Mr. Xi’s commitment to further pressure North Korea.

Man Jailed After Hitting Muslim Teenager With ‘Slab of Bacon’ (breitbart, Jun 30, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/06/30/man-jailed-hitting-muslim-teenager-slab-bacon/
“A British man has been jailed after hitting a Muslim teen with a slab of bacon after hurling insults at her and her mother.
Alex Chivers was sentenced at a London court on Thursday to six months in jail for assault and a public order offense. The 36-year-old admitted to religiously or racially-aggravated assault.
Police said Friday that he approached two Muslims on June 8 in north London and made abusive Islamophobic comments before striking the teen with bacon.
Detective James Payne said other people were present during the attack including someone who filmed the incident. Payne called the assault “truly shocking.”
It came five days after Islamic extremists attacked people on London Bridge and at Borough Market.
British police have reported a rise in hate crimes.”
Frankfurt Becomes First German City Where Natives Are Minority (breitbart, Jun 30, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/06/29/frankfurt-german-city-natives-minority/
“For the first time, more than half of Frankfurt residents now have a migrant background, according to official data from the city’s Office of Statistics and Elections.
Presenting the figures, which show that 51.2 per cent of people living in Frankfurt have a migrant background, the city’s secretary of integration Sylvia Weber said: “We have minorities with relatively large numbers in Frankfurt but no group with a clear majority.”
Representing 13 per cent of the population, Turks are the city’s largest non-German minority, and 61 per cent of residents who were born abroad are citizens of other European Union (EU) countries.
Entitled Frankfurt Integration and Diversity Monitoring, the 200-page report is to provide a basis for the city to respond to inequalities, for example with regards to employment, education, or housing.
Economically, the report shows big disparities between foreigners and Germans, with the income of 49 per cent of people with roots outside Germany falling below the poverty line compared to 23 per cent amongst natives.
In terms of employment rates, 83 per cent of German men and 78 per cent of German women are in work, figures which drop to 73 per cent and 59 per cent amongst men and women with foreign backgrounds, respectively.
Weber hailed the rate of single motherhood amongst women of foreign origin, which the report showed was significantly higher than that of native Germans in the city, as “a possible sign that female migrants are emancipating themselves”, and called for more research into the subject.
A book published last year which predicted native Germans would soon be reduced to a minority in Frankfurt, Augsburg, and Stuttgart — joining other “majority minority” cities in Europe which include Amsterdam, London, Brussels, and Geneva — celebrates the demographic transformations as providing greater opportunities for “social justice”.
Noting that two-thirds of young people in many of Western Europe’s major cities are of foreign origin, the authors of Super-Diversity: A New Perspective on Integration slammed politicians’ calls for newcomers to assimilate, stating: “If there is no longer an ethnic majority group, everyone will have to adapt to everyone else. Diversity will become the new norm.”
Immigration researcher Jens Schneider and his co-authors Maurice Crul and Frans Lelie admit “this will require one of the largest psychological shifts of our time”. But the authors assert that “soon, everyone living in a large European city will belong to an ethnic minority group, just as they do in New York”, a city they describe as a “vibrant metropolitan melting pot”.”
Feds confirm ISIS investigations underway in NC
Shortly after Justin Sullivan was sentenced to life in prison for planning to commit mass murder in support of the Islamic State, U.S. Attorney Jill Rose of Charlotte confirmed that investigations of other suspected ISIS sympathizers continue in North Carolina.
A domestic-terrorism expert told the Observer this week that the North Carolina probes are among some 1,000 active FBI investigations into ISIS-related threats encompassing all 50 states.
Keri Farley, the FBI’s assistant special agent in charge of North Carolina, said Sullivan’s arrest saved lives. But she added that “homegrown violent extremists” are becoming harder to stop.
“Identifying a terrorist before an attack happens is one of the most difficult challenges we face,” Farley said during a press conference with Rose after Sullivan’s sentencing. “It’s harder than finding a needle in a haystack; it’s like finding a needle in a stack of needles. But that’s exactly what happened in this case.”

One in 10 people living in UK was born overseas
ONE in every 10 people living in Britain is foreign, official figures show.
The number of people living here but born overseas reached 5.95 million last year.
That equates to 9.2 per cent of the population – almost double the 2005 figure of five per cent.
Romanians were the largest group of arrivals in 2015-16, followed by Chinese, Poles, Indians and Italians.
The figures, published yesterday by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, sparked fresh calls for a major overhaul of UK border controls.

Police to drop visits to ‘low risk’ sex offenders to focus on most dangerous criminals (express, Jun 30, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/823247/police-drop-home-visits-low-risk-sex-offenders-concentrate-most-dangerous-criminals
“POLICE are set to drop home visits to thousands of “low risk” sex offenders so they can concentrate on the most dangerous criminals.
Senior officers say the relaxing of regular checks is part of a “tailored approach” to dealing with offenders.
The plans have been drawn up by the National Police Chiefs Council.
Michelle Skeer, NPCC lead for management of sexual and violent offenders, said: “The UK has some of the toughest powers in the world to manage registered sex offenders with low levels of re-offending.
“These changes will enable us to more actively manage those offenders who pose the greatest risk to the public while providing a proportionate approach to those who are consistently assessed to be at low risk of re-offending…”
American Pravda Part III: CNN Selectively Edits, Hates Trump and Thinks Voters Are Stupid
Project Veritas Accuses CNN’s New Day of Selective Editing
Voters are “Stupid as sh*t,” Says New Day Associate Producer
CNN Impartial Only “In Theory”
“On the inside, we all recognize he [Trump] is a clown,” and “f*cking crazy”
Associate Producer Says Kellyanne Conway “looks like she got hit with a shovel”
Jeff Zucker’s Leadership in Question?
– Project Veritas’ newest video from the American Pravda: CNN series exposes Jimmy Carr, the Associate Producer for CNN’s New Day attacking President Donald Trump and admitting that CNN has a left-leaning bias.
When asked by an undercover journalist if CNN is impartial, Carr plainly responded, “In theory.”
He then continued to talk about CNN’s views on President Trump:
“On the inside, we all recognize he is a clown that he is hilariously unqualified for this. He’s really bad at this and that he does not have America’s best interests. We recognize he’s just fucking crazy.”
He continues to attack Trump personally, instead of focusing on his policy:
“He’s not actually a Republican. He just adopted that because that was the party he thought he could win in. He doesn’t believe anything that these people believe. The man is on his third wife. I guarantee you he’s paid for abortions. He doesn’t give a shit about abortion. He doesn’t care about gay marriage.”
He also attacked Kellyanne Conway, stating that she “looks like she got hit with a shovel.”
Carr echoed the sentiment of John Bonifield from the first American Pravda video – that the narrative comes from the top, and Russia is good for ratings:
“…it’s decisions made by people higher than me and if they go wow, your ratings are soaring right now. Keep up what you’re doing. Well, what we’re doing is Russia, ISIS, London terror, shooting in Chicago, that’s it.”
CNN released a statement in response to the fallout of Tuesday’s video, “Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome it and embrace it.”
But according to Carr, the reality is that there is little diversity of opinion at CNN:
Carr: “We’re all on, 90% of us are on board with just the fact that he’s crazy.”
PV: “What do you mean 90% are on board what, the, with her?”
Carr: “Like, no I wouldn’t say with her but just acknowledge the fact that he’s batshit… my direct co-workers.”
Carr’s “direct co-workers,” are from the program New Day, hosted by Alisyn Camerota and Chris Cuomo, which hosted an eight-minute panel discussion featuring six Trump supporters.
Leaked audio from the segment – an hour and a half long – was provided to Project Veritas.
In reality, the context of their arguments were omitted to feed CNN’s Anti-Trump narrative.

Suicide attack on Niger displaced camp kills 2, wounds 11 (abcnews, Jun 30, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/suicide-attack-niger-displaced-camp-kills-wounds-11-48373150
“The United Nations refugee agency says two female suicide bombers attacked a camp for internally displaced people in eastern Niger’s Diffa region, killing two people and wounding 11.
The agency says the attackers entered the Kabelawa camp late Wednesday.
It calls this the first suicide attack in the eastern part of the Diffa region in a year and the first-ever attack against the camp.
Kabelawa camp is about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the border with Nigeria. It hosts more than 10,000 people who have fled violence by Nigeria-based Islamic extremists Boko Haram.
Niger contributes to the multinational force set up to fight Boko Haram in the region.”
Harsh as this may sound, it might be best for Western countries to simply back away slowly from Africa and let the continent implode on its own.
Let’s face it, most of the “immigrants” and “refugees” from Africa (especially the sub-Saharan region), merely are economic tourists who regard Europe and North America as “candy stores with a busted lock” (hat tip: Fjordman).
Allowing famines and near-constant internecine conflicts to take their maximum tolls will reduce the number of new arrivals. As it stands, most of this diaspora are fighting-age young men who will not blink at the EU’s
feeble resistanceoutright encouragement.Having these predators die in the cradle is far more effective than sending foreign aid to hyper-corrupt African hellholes with the futile hope that bettering their conditions at home will somehow stem the
tidetsunami currently flooding into Europe and elsewhere.Consider this, according to most existing scientific models, Africa’s populations have enjoyed a several thousand (if not million) year head-start on the rest of this world’s civilizations. What have they got to show for it? Fü¢k all. And please don’t even try to blame European colonization for the dog’s breakfast of modern Africa.
What possible good is there to be obtained from flooding Europe and other Western nations with the
detritusproduct of such spectacularly unsuccessful “cultures”? Even if population replacement is a necessity, how can there be any beneficial outcome to be had from burdening an aging European citizenry with non-assimilating, violently hostile, predatory criminal thugs?Anyone capable of persuading themselves that this is even the slightest sort of viable solution is both a certifiable mental case, not to mention a clear and present danger to modern civilization.
At some point—be it right away or in the future, however near or distant—such individuals will called to account for themselves. One particularly bleak prospect is the propensity of modern Western politicians to “kick the can down the road”. Worst of all, it probably means that these traitors and betrayers of civilized humanity will never be held accountable for their capital crimes.
This is something that now causes me to hope that Islam (in particular) will be allowed the necessary latitude—which, from all appearances, it certainly seems to be receiving—in order to commit an atrocity of such mind-bending proportions to where the West nimbly scoots across the tipping point and simply vaporizes the majority of this world’s Muslim population centers.
Please know how much I would rather that immediate, and far less violent measures (e.g., the banning of all wheat exports to Muslim-majority nations), would be used to bring about this much-needed crippling of Islam.
While few people are willing to admit it, this planet’s entire future hinges upon maiming Islamic power and its influence to where Muslims no longer can pose any sort of viable threat to the civilized world.
At present, such an outcome clearly is suffering from Politically Correct delays that, literally, guarantee wholesale—if not nuclear or other WMD-based—devastation on an irreversible scale that immediate action, otherwise, might render unnecessary.
All non-Islamic political leadership—be it in Washington D.C., Moscow, Brussels, Beijing, Tokyo, Stockholm, Seoul, or New Delhi—are responsible for this foot-dragging and bear the blame with respect to the millions of Muslims who will needlessly perish as a result of of this near-universal inaction.
Most sick of all is how the Holocaust (at some six to ten million Jewish lives lost) will remain—in a strict moral sense—far more heinous than the looming loss of several hundred million Muslim that will necessarily perish because of Islam’s fatal intransigence and obsession with apocalyptic triumphalism.
Ongoing, systematic, Muslim silence and their refusal (or ideological cowardice) about objecting to Islam’s intolerant doctrine is dooming several hundred million of them to a needless death.
All because they cannot summon forth the moral courage to challenge a patently abusive, genocidal, misogynistic, and murderous doctrine that they bloody-well-know pits them against the entire civilized world.
Any sympathy I might once have had for even the most decent and honorable Muslims (all one billion of them) is gone, evaporated, kaput! Send them to their much-longed-for paradise and let’s be done with this incessant horror-show of vicious jihadist mayhem. Islam has permanently worn out its welcome on this planet.

Two German tourists stabbed in Tunisia
TUNIS, June 30 (Xinhua) — The Tunisian Ministry of the Interior said two German tourists, a mother and her daughter, were stabbed earlier Friday in Nabeul, a coastal town in northeastern Tunisia.
The incident is “not a terrorist attack” and the aggressor “has been suffering from psychological disorders since 2011,” said Yasser Mosbeh, the spokesman of the ministry.
The two Germans, accompanied by the father, were attacked in a craft tourist area in Nabeul’s city center, according to the ministry.
The injured daughter, 27, is still under medical care while her mother has been discharged from hospital, local media reported.

Hungarian PM: Soros Threatens The Peace In Europe With His ‘Mafia Network’
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban slammed billionaire George Soros Wednesday for running a “mafia network” of NGOs that threatens Europe’s future.
Orban is facing legal action from the EU after imposing education reforms that could force Soros’ Central European University to shut down. The move led to a bitter dispute, and Orban has no intention of letting Soros “get the last laugh.”
“Unfortunately for us he happens to be Hungarian, and his name is George Soros,” Orban said at the final event of a “National Consultation” series. “This is unfortunate, because it could also be seen as an internal Hungarian dispute. But in fact, we are standing waist-deep in the turbulent waters of a dispute about the future of Europe.”
Soros recently applauded Hungarians who protested the reforms for opposing “the deception and corruption of the mafia state the Orban regime has established.” Orban made his comeback Wednesday, saying Soros is leading a “mafia network” that threatens the peace in Europe by promoting mass immigration.
“The truth is that George Soros is a speculator who operates an extensive mafia network, and who is threatening Europe’s peace and future,” Orban said. “For him migration is good business, and it would be even better business if we stopped resisting it.”
Orban further accused Soros of instructing EU to launch legal actions against countries that have refused immigration quotas.
“The reason he’s so angry with Hungary – and with me personally – is that we stand in the way of his grand plan and his grand business project,” Orban said. “It’s obvious that the infringement procedure which Brussels has launched against Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic for refusing the mandatory resettlement quotas is the result of instructions from him.”

CBC – As Trump travel ban takes effect, lawyers mobilize at Canadian airports
Federal government is trying to determine legality of enforcing travel ban on Canadian soil
As Canadian lawyers mobilize at airports across the country to support travellers affected by President Donald Trump’s U.S. travel ban, the federal government is trying to determine if enforcing the controversial executive order on Canadian soil is even legal.
The ban, which came into effect last night after a temporary ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, prohibits certain travellers from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.
“This is a ban on Muslims. It’s discriminatory to its core,” Corey Shefman, a lawyer and spokesperson for the Canadian Cross-Border Legal Coalition, said in an interview.
Hundreds of volunteer lawyers have joined the coalition, and some will be taking shifts at airports in Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg today to assist travellers. There are also plans to have lawyers at airports in Montreal and Ottawa, if required.
“Part of the reason we’re there is to make sure Muslim travellers, whether or not they’re from the affected countries, are not caught up in this ban. This was a common theme last time, and we expect that it will be again,” Shefman said.
Trump brought in the ban through an executive order shortly after taking office in January. It took effect immediately and targeted travellers from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, countries the president considers dangerous. Iraq is not part of the revised version of the ban temporarily approved by the Supreme Court.
The swift implementation of the ban led to widespread confusion at border crossings and airports in the U.S. and around the world as airlines and customs agents struggled with the new rules.
“No one knew what the heck was going on,” Shefman said.
Protesters gathered in several Canadian cities, including Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa, with worries about the ban affecting Canadian permanent residents and splitting up families — among broader human rights concerns.
Lawyers with the Canadian Cross-Border Legal Coalition will again be helping travellers sort through the ban, but there is hope for more clarity this time around.
“We hope that the airlines, the airports and U.S. officials have had time to figure out what went wrong last time and figure out how to make it better,” Shefman said.
Canadian charter violation?
Another aspect of the ban that Canadian lawyers and the federal government are watching closely is its potential violation of Canadian law.
At major Canadian airports and other departure points, U.S. border agents process travellers in pre-clearance areas.
Because the U.S. agents are working on Canadian soil, they are subject to Canadian law.
Audrey Macklin, a law professor and director of the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto, said the ban that targets individuals based on national origin is “highly discriminatory.”
“It seems to me that even this partial ban would flagrantly violate the Canadian charter,” Macklin said in an interview.”
Under the federal law that permits pre-clearance activities, Macklin said U.S. officials are protected, even if they are enforcing rules that violate Canadian law.
“If there’s any liability at all, it’s liability of the Canadian government for knowingly permitting these charter violations on Canadian soil.”
The federal government, which began to review the legality of the travel ban in February, is now looking at the revised version temporarily approved.
“The details of the executive order have changed since February, so the government is again in the process of determining what, if any, impact the recent U.S. executive order has on current pre-clearance activities or on the agreement on land, rail, marine and air transport pre-clearance between the government of Canada and the government of the United States,” Karine Martel, spokesperson for Public Safety Canada, said in a statement.
“Any U.S. pre-clearance activities in Canada have to be carried out in a manner consistent with Canadian law, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Canadian Human Rights Act,” Martel said.
Canadian passport ‘no guarantee’
This week’s Supreme Court decision requires travellers from the affected countries to prove “a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”
Although legal experts are predicting a “small number” of travellers going to the U.S. from Canada will be denied entry and that dual Canadian citizens will have nothing to worry about, Shefman isn’t so sure.
“A Canadian passport isn’t a guarantee of anything,” he said.
During the first implementation of the ban last winter, Shefman said, lawyers with the Canadian Cross-Border Legal Coalition dealt with travellers who should have been free to enter the U.S. but were targeted by agents only because they were Muslim.
The legal coalition is prepared for this to happen again.
“American customs officials at pre-clearance centres have really significant discretion about who gets in the country. And what this ban does is give them more discretion,” Shefman said.

Big noise: GOP backer hunted for Hillary’s missing emails, claimed link to Michael Flynn
By J.E. Dyer June 30, 2017
The Wall Street Journal put out this turgid and not terribly interesting story on Thursday, 29 June. Be sure to visit Jeff Dunetz‘s and ZeroHedge‘s treatments, as I don’t plan to rehash the whole thing here.
The basic story line is that Peter W. Smith, an octogenarian private-equity investor, supporter of the GOP, and security policy dilettante, assembled a team in September 2016 to look for Hillary’s 33,000-odd “missing” emails — the ones she failed to turn over to the State Department for review. Smith’s theory was that there was probably a hacker group out there that had obtained the emails from her non-secure home-brew server. His team found some leads, including two with Russian connections, but never considered anything they found worth pursuing.
The “big noise” part of the story is that emails related to the Smith team’s search referenced Michael Flynn and his consulting company, Flynn Intel Group, in relation to the hunt.
In retrospect, given the way the U.S. government’s accumulated, all-innuendo material on Trump has been used by his Obama-connected opponents since the election, it’s increasingly clear that the FBI — and NSA — were used by the Obama administration to do opposition research on the Trump campaign. Trying its best, using government assets, the administration was notably unable to come up with anything substantive.

A good friend of mine has a friend that is a retired FBI agent, this man says that after Bill Clinton took office the FBI slowly went to hell, the investigations in the big cities were often political and you had to consider who a crooks friends were before you could investigate them. He said everything including promotions and transfers were political. He was in a small office and worked to stay there and out of the political mess. The corruption at the FBI is now coming out and we all remember the scandals about the Secret Service during the Obama years. It is going to take several very brave and very formidable men to clean up this mess.
Quote of the Day: It’s not really fraud. It’s really just inaccuracies
By Ben Bowles June 30, 2017
The speaker is Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie M. Gorbea, who, according to the Providence Journal, “has identified roughly 150,000 people erroneously on the state’s voters rolls and has begun to clean them up.”
“Nearly 65,000 names have been removed since Gorbea took office in 2015,” the article goes on to note, “and another 30,000 have been marked as ‘inactive,’ a first step toward removing them.”
And a positive first step at that.
But let’s go back to that title quote, which at the very least is disingenuous. Even if we concede it’s “just an inaccuracy,” 150,000 is a pretty big inaccuracy for a state with a population just over a million.
And then there’s the question of how she knows that 150,000 erroneous names are just that out of carelessness.

Seattle’s minimum wage fiasco shows what the ‘party of science’ does when science betrays them
By Howard Portnoy June 30, 2017
Imagine that Diogenes, the Greek philosopher who according to legend roamed the streets of Athens in search of an honest man, had found such a man but didn’t like the truths he uttered. What would he have done? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I can tell you what the city of Seattle did under similar circumstances 2,400 years later. When given bad news about its minimum wage law by one honest man, its leadership harrumphed and went in search of another whose “truth” it might find more palatable, more in keeping with its liberal preconceptions.
As The Washington Post noted on Monday, the city commissioned a group of economists at the University of Washington to study its plan, enacted three years ago and already in progress, to increase the city’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. The stated goal was to improve the lives of low-income workers.
But what a preliminary working paper released by the researchers shows is that the hike has had the opposite effect:

Parents suing San Diego schools over an “anti-Islamophobia” campaign have revised their complaint to focus on the radical Islamic origin of the group that initiated the program.
As WND reported, the San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations was formally approved by the school board in March to help develop a plan to “combat Islamophobia and the bullying of Muslims students.”
That lead to a lawsuit by parents charging the program is unconstitutional because it appears to show a preference for one religion over another.
http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/parents-sue-schools-over-collusion-with-hamas-front/
“That lead to a lawsuit by parents charging the program is unconstitutional because it appears to show a preference for one religion over another.”
While this sounds all well and fine, there is a lot of downside because it further cements the perception that Islam is a “religion”, instead of the political ideology that it really is. All pushback against Islam will function far better if it addresses political issues instead of theological ones.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he was sending federal help to fight crime in Chicago that has reached “epidemic” proportions.
The government is sending federal agents to Chicago and plans to prosecute firearms cases aggressively, Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Fox News when asked about Trump’s statement about the plan in an early-morning Twitter post.
“Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help. 1714 shootings in Chicago this year!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
The president, who in January decried the high crime rate in the third-most populous U.S. city as “carnage,” did not specify what type of help he planned to send.

A European court has ruled that the parents of a critically ill baby cannot privately pay for him to go to the United States for “experimental treatment”, and the child must stay in a British hospital to “die with dignity”.
The parents of 10-month-old Charlie Gard are reported to be “utterly distraught” after the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) denied them a final effort to save their dying son.
After losing a battle in the UK’s Supreme Court, they had appealed to the court in France to fight the decision of British doctors at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, who argued the baby could not be saved in the U.S. and must “die with dignity”.

“Two Christian street preachers who were fined £300 each over a sermon they gave to shoppers have won appeals against their convictions.
Michael Overd, 53, and former US marine Michael Stockwell, 51, were found guilty of religiously-aggravated public order offences in Bristol four months ago.
The men had been filmed in July 2016 shouting ‘Mohammed is a liar’ and telling shoppers being gay was ‘immoral’ while preaching at Broadmead shopping centre.
But both men, who are street preachers rather than ordained vicars, insisted they were simply reading from the King James Bible – and denied aiming hostility at other faiths or sexualities.
Yesterday, judges at Bristol Crown Court said Mr Stockwell, from Selden in New York, ‘did no more than express his no doubt sincerely held religious beliefs’.
They added that Mr Overd, of Creech St Michael, Somerset, seemed to take some satisfaction in ‘working the crowd’, but had not committed a public order offence.”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4653742/Preachers-fined-300-convictions-OVERTURNED.html
“During the video, Mr Stockwell said: ‘Allah is the greatest deceiver – that’s in the Koran.’ He added: ‘You will die for your sins and be cast into hell.’
Mr Overd told the crowd: ‘Mohammed is a liar and a thief, just like you and me. Buddha isn’t on the cross – he is a liar, just like you and me.’
He said sex before marriage was immoral and that it used to be a shameful thing to get divorced. ‘David Cameron is no more a Christian than my dogs,’ he added.
In February, the men were each given a £300 fine, ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge and shared prosecution costs of £3,372 – totalling £2,016 each.”
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A federal judge is blocking a California law set to go into effect Saturday that would have barred gun owners from possessing high-capacity ammunition magazines.
San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez said in ruling Thursday that the law banning possession of magazines containing more than 10 bullets would have made criminals of thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens who now own the magazines.
He issued a preliminary injunction backing the legal challenge by the National Rifle Association-affiliated California Rifle & Pistol Association.

BEIJING (Reuters) – China urged the United States to revoke immediately its “wrong decision” to sell Taiwan $1.42 billion worth of arms, saying it contradicted a “consensus” President Xi Jinping reached with his counterpart, Donald Trump, in talks in April in Florida.
The sales would send a very wrong message to “Taiwan independence” forces, China’s embassy in Washington said in a statement. A U.S. State Department spokeswoman said on Thursday the administration had told Congress of seven proposed sales to Taiwan, the first under the Trump administration..
“The Chinese government and Chinese people have every right to be outraged,” the embassy said.

(College Fix) A conservative professor at UCLA wildly popular with students has been terminated after he failed an employment review he claims his department rigged against him in an effort to oust him.
Dean of Social Sciences Laura Gomez told Keith Fink, an attorney and a free speech defender who’s been critical of UCLA for denying students’ free speech rights, in a letter he wouldn’t be appointed as a continuing lecturer. She wrote that Fink’s review found his “teaching does not meet the standard of excellence.” UCLA’s ousting of Fink was first reported by The Daily Wire.
The university’s decision ends a months-long saga between the UCLA administration and Fink, who said his superiors blocked students from taking his free speech courses and put him through a “star chamber” review process because they don’t like his right-of-center politics.

The cost of Black America
If you are a white American, over the course of your lifetime the federal government will, on average and on your behalf, transfer $384,109 of your wealth and income to a single black individual.
According to the data derived from the 2014 federal budget, the average annual net tax/benefit broke down as follows:
White: -$2,795
Black: +$10,016
Over the course of an average 79-year lifespan, a white individual contributes a net $220,805 to the system, whereas over the course of an average 75-year lifespan, a black individual receives a net $751,200. However, since there are 4.6 times more whites than blacks in the USA, the black share has to be divided among the various contributors to sort out a one-to-one comparison.
So, the net cost to the average White American of the average Black American is $384,109. Married? That’s $768,218. Got 2 kids? That’s $1,536,436. 4 kids? Now we’re talking $2,304,654 lifetime.
Diversity is expensive. Now you understand why you won’t have much of an inheritance to leave to your children. Do you really think it’s worth it? And then, those natural conservatives to the south, the Hispanics, will surely improve the situation, right? After all, immigration helps the economy! Well, not so much.
Hispanic: +7,298
In fact, because there are more Hispanics in the USA than Blacks, Hispanics are already a bigger cumulative net drain on the economy, $411,950,000,000 to $389,710,000,000. Needless to say, the ongoing demographic change from a predominantly white society to a less productive, less white one can be expected to have even more serious negative effects on the long-term economic prospects of the United States that it already has.
To quote the original author: “The negative fiscal impact of blacks and hispanics is significant. All of this discussion of a “national debt” and “deficit” is primarily of function of blacks and hispanics. Without them, we would be running budget surpluses today, even when keeping the military the same size.”
