‘F*** free speech’: Evergreen State students double down, want to ‘weed out’ those who oppose them
As documented in a new video by Vice News/HBO, students at the Olympia, Washington, school are doubling down, saying they want to “weed out” those who oppose them. As one student bluntly put it, reacting to outside threats: “F*** free speech.”
In the wake of biology professor Bret Weinstein’s refusal to obey the demand that white students and faculty leave campus for a “Day of Absence,” students not only want Weinstein fired — which school president George Bridges said won’t happen — but also they seem to be on the hunt for others like Weinstein.
“I don’t care what happens to Bret anymore,” one student named Hadley said regarding Weinstein. “He can go and be racist and be a piece of s**t wherever he wants to do that. Hopefully, long-term, we can just weed out people like Bret.”
Hadley said that Weinstein’s public profile — boosted by his appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” — has “validated white supremacists and Nazis.”
“Although Bret has not personally said, you know, ‘Go out and attack these students, go out and threaten these students,’ that has been the result of his actions,” she said. “He has incited white supremacists, and he has in our community and in the nation. And I don’t think that should be protected by free speech.”
Why is one dime of taxpayer money going to support these thugs and fascists?
Because the Dems set up the funding and the Repubs are afraid of what the Propaganda Media will call them it that funding is cut.
The best way to beat Islam and communism is to bankrupt them. And since there is insufficient political will and clarity for such a task, we can relegate this job to arithmetic. It will be messy. Always heed Peter Schiff:
https://youtu.be/1Fd58n4HhAM
Watched the first 5 minutes and its very good. I hope to get to it all. He makes a strong case. At least in the first five minutes.
He doesn’t draw a direct connection to Islam or politics. This is a natural extrapolation from the issues he says will inevitable arise, namely the drop in the US dollar.
He does a good job on laying out his position, and he is right. The only mistake he made is that Nixon didn’t take us off the Gold Standard, FDR did that but pegged the price of gold at $32.00 per ounce, Nixon removed the peg. many people make that mistake. Probably because the libs that are worried don’t want to blacken FDR and hate Nixon.
I have been expecting another crash since 09 and am surprised that it hasn’t happened. Regular readers know that I have been saying that the printing press money is making the coming crash much worse. This time the crash will cause the worlds economy to crash and touch off all sorts of violence. I won’t go as far as some and say that the Dems are going to crash the economy to damage Trump but they will probably cheer the crash in private. And the antifa types will use it as an excuse to riot and kill the police every chance they can get.

Pakistan: Gunmen kill 4 members of Shiite family, driver (abcnews, Jul 19, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pakistan-gunmen-kill-members-shiite-family-driver-48718189
“Pakistani police say gunmen riding on a motorcycle opened fire, killing four members of a Shiite family and their driver in the country’s southwest.
Local police chief Mohammad Ishaq says the drive-by shooting took place in the town of Mastung, about 75 kilometers (45 miles) south of the city of Quetta, Baluchistan’s provincial capital.
He says a woman was among the four family members killed and that the family’s driver was Sunni.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but outlawed Sunni extremist groups have claimed similar attacks in the past. Sunni extremists view Shiites as apostates deserving of death.
Baluchistan has also been the scene of a low-level insurgency by separatists demanding more autonomy and a greater share in the region’s natural resources such as gas and oil.”

Indonesia bans Hizbut group that seeks global caliphate (abcnews, Jul 19, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/indonesia-bans-hizbut-group-seeks-global-caliphate-48715803
“The Indonesian government on Wednesday banned Hizbut Tahrir, an Islamic organization that wants to establish a global caliphate, under a new presidential decree criticized as draconian by rights groups.
Hizbut’s legal status was revoked to protect national unity, said Freddy Haris, a director-general at the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.
The decree signed last week by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo gives the government almost unfettered power to ban organizations deemed against the constitution and the official state ideology known as Pancasila, which enshrines democracy and social justice. Rights groups say the decree undermines the right to freedom of association and governments could easily abuse its power. But mainstream Muslim groups have supported it.
Haris said Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia listed Pancasila as an ideology of the organization in its articles of association “but in fact on the ground their activities were against Pancasila and the soul of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.”
The measures follow months of sectarian tensions in the world’s most populous Muslim nation that shook the government and undermined Indonesia’s reputation for practicing a moderate form of Islam.
Hizbut Tahrir, along with groups such as the violent Islamic Defenders Front, was behind a series of massive protests against the Jakarta governor, a minority Christian and Jokowi ally who was accused of blaspheming Islam. He subsequently lost a bid for re-election to a Muslim candidate and was imprisoned for two years for blasphemy despite prosecutors downgrading the charge to a lesser offense.
Hizbut, already banned or circumscribed in some countries, is estimated to have tens of thousands of members in Indonesia.
Spokesman Ismail Yusanto said the group “will not remain silent” and plans to challenge the decree in the Constitutional Court. He criticized the ban as an arbitrary and tyrannical decision.
About 2,000 people from Islamic groups protested against the decree in Jakarta on Tuesday, denouncing the government as repressive and tyrannical…”
Greece: 35 Arrested in Migrant Camp Clashes (breitbart, Jul 19, 2017)

“Clashes have broken out for the second time in eight days at a crowded migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.
Authorities said 35 migrants were arrested Tuesday for public disturbance offences, after police used tear gas against stone throwing protesters at the Moria camp.
The demonstrators also set fires inside the camp and just outside the perimeter, according to police.
More than 14,000 migrants remain stranded on Lesbos and other Greek islands near Turkey. They are banned from traveling to the Greek mainland following an agreement between the European Union and Turkey last year to limit migration to Europe.”

No single ethnic group must dominate in schools, says head teacher (RT, Jul 19, 2017)
https://www.rt.com/uk/396781-race-ethnic-segregation-schools/
Legislation to stop one race prevailing over another in British schools has become the “only answer” to stop pupils being segregated along ethnic lines, a Bradford ‘superhead’ has said.
Sir Nick Weller, the executive principal at Dixons Academies, which runs a number of schools in the west Yorkshire city, warned that different ethnic communities in Bradford are leading separate lives.
He has called for new legislation to tackle racial segregation, but admitted the cost could be “very high,” as it is likely to lead to pupils being vetted on the grounds of their ethnic background.
Under the Equality Act 2010, discrimination on the ground of religion or race is barred in the workplace and in training and education.
“I think it’s unhealthy in a city like Bradford for two communities to live separate lives, which by and large they do. Really you could say Bradford is almost two communities: the Muslim community and the white community,” Weller told the BBC’s Today program.
He said parents are choosing to send their children to schools further away from home, fearing they may find it difficult to integrate in local ones dominated by pupils of a different ethnic background.
“Families will ignore the school that is nearest them because it is predominantly of one — the wrong ethnic group — and they will send them a little bit further down the road to a school where they feel more comfortable,” Weller said.
When asked if there is a “tipping point” that makes families from a certain background choose a certain school, he said: “Once you get to 70 to 80 percent [of a different race] then yes … I think that [legislation] is the only answer myself.”
He also stressed the importance of pupils’ attending religious studies classes, and criticized the current framework for allowing families to withdraw their children from such lessons.
“Personally, I believe that both of those opt outs should be withdrawn,” he said.
“With religious education, that’s about learning about different cultures and traditions.
“That is what we as a group are all about.”
His comments come as the Tory government pledged in its 2017 election manifesto that it would scrap the current rule for schools to cap the number of pupils from one specific ethnicity at 50 percent if they are oversubscribed.
The proposal to scrap the cap is aimed at compelling more Catholic schools to open, yet there has been speculation that it is likely to just cause further segregation.
Moreover, while the cap is currently in place for faith schools, there is no such policy in state schools where the majority of students comes from one racial background only.”
Trump Administration Issues New Sanctions Against Iran Over Ballistic Missile Program
The Trump administration issues a new set of sanctions against Iran over its ballistic missile program, and destabilizing actions in the Middle East.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Department of Treasury said it was targeting 16 entities and individuals for supporting illicit Iranian actors, or transnational criminal activity.
The State Department has additionally issued sanctions against two Iranian organizations involved in the country’s ballistic missile program.
This comes after the White House certified to Congress that Iran is complying with the nuclear deal.
Administration officials say they will continue to target Iran’s hostile activity.

North Korea conducts public executions for theft, watching South Korea media: report
SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea carries out public executions on river banks and at school grounds and marketplaces for charges such as stealing copper from factory machines, distributing media from South Korea and prostitution, a report issued on Wednesday said.
The report, by a Seoul-based non-government group, said the often extra-judicial decisions for public executions are frequently influenced by “bad” family background or a government campaign to discourage certain behavior.
The Transitional Justice Working Group (TJWG) said its report was based on interviews with 375 North Korean defectors from the isolated state over a period of two years.
Reuters could not independently verify the testimony of defectors in the report. The TJWG is made up of human rights activists and researchers and is led by Lee Younghwan, who has worked as an advocate for human rights in North Korea.

Free advice for President Trump: Outline your own strategy to renegotiate the JCPOA with Iran
By J.E. Dyer July 18, 2017
In an excellent article on Tuesday, Eli Lake described a West Wing drama in which President Trump reportedly came very close – at the last minute – to refusing to re-certify Iran’s compliance with the terms of the JCPOA on her nuclear program.
The tense period was on Monday afternoon:
The attention of most readers is likely to be on the personalities involved: Tillerson, Mattis, McMaster, Joint Chiefs Chairman Dunford, all said to be ranged on the side of certifying compliance. Some analysts will focus on the point that the National Security Council and the State Department are still full of Obama holdovers, who are notoriously determined to keep the JCPOA in place as-is. We can assume that McMaster and Tillerson, certainly, are getting a one-sided stream of advice from their staffs.
http://libertyunyielding.com/2017/07/18/free-advice-president-trump-outline-strategy-renegotiate-jcpoa-iran/
Yeah, she’s being polite and diplomatic.
These guys are fighting the enemy that was identified as “The Enemy” by the previous gang of thieves. Remember: _0 changed sides_.
Maybe if these people are pointed in the right direction, they’ll be nimble and follow new orders.
I’m not so sure. They’ve been trying to bring in die-hard MB-devotees as their chief deputies. The foreign ministries of countries affected prevented the very worst, but the miffed SOS and SOD have simply left positions unfilled.
Tillerson sabotaged the Qatar boycott. Or tried his best, but it’s life and death for the parties involved and they can’t roll over.
This isn’t a “family spat” among Gulf neighbors, as an idiot spokes-bimbo called it. Egypt is one of parties: that’s what makes the critical difference.
duhIt would certainly help, as J.E. suggests, if PT-45 gets advice from sources other than those complicit in the original JCPOA. The cabinet executes policies set by the POTUS; that’s in their oath of office.
Let’s hope things improve.

A false defense of Obama-era federal meddling in college discipline
By Hans Bader July 18, 2017
A college president recently promoted fallacies about the law in order to justify federal micromanagement of school discipline. Writing in the Washington Post, Brooklyn College’s Michelle Anderson defended a 2011 letter from the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) dictating “the standard of proof in campus disciplinary proceedings.” It told colleges that had been using the “clear and convincing” evidence standard to instead use a mere “preponderance of the evidence” standard, if the allegation involves sexual harassment or assault (rather than a non-sexual offense).
For an unelected federal bureaucrat to dictate the burden of proof at colleges across the country is disturbing. But Anderson defended OCR’s action, claiming that “Preponderance is the standard of proof that applies throughout our justice system, except when life or liberty is at stake.”
This is an inaccurate claim. The civil justice system uses the clear-and-convincing evidence standard for many matters. I don’t know how Ms. Anderson could have taught law (as she did for years) without learning this basic legal reality.

“Faith and Fantasy: Tolkien the Catholic, The Lord of the Rings, and Peter Jackson’s Film Trilogy” By SDG
Excerpt:
There’s a reason Gandalf finds it encouraging that the mysterious ways of fate brought the Ring into the possession of a hobbit rather than a warrior or wizard or elf, and why, of the mixed fellowship that departs Rivendell for Mordor, Frodo and no other is the Ring-bearer. Frodo’s very lack of power, either physical or mystical, is itself seen as a sign of hope. The powerless can be less likely to trust to themselves, less likely to fall prey to hubris and presumption, more available as instruments of grace or divine action. Tolkien’s unlikely heroes reflect the paradoxes of St. Paul: “When I am weak, then am I strong” and “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.”

France’s military chief resigned on Wednesday after he was rebuked by President Emmanuel Macron for protesting defence spending cuts.

President Trump Reverses Obama’s Anti-Christian Refugee Policy
Christian refugee admissions increase during the first five months of Trump presidency.
July 19, 2017
Joseph Klein
16
After declaring that Christians have “been horribly treated” by the refugee program under former President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump has reversed the Obama administration’s disgraceful discrimination against Christian refugees.
According to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. State Department refugee data, during the period from January 21, 2017 – President Trump’s first full day in office – through June 30, “9,598 Christian refugees arrived in the U.S., compared with 7,250 Muslim refugees. Christians made up 50% of all refugee arrivals in this period, compared with 38% who are Muslim.”
From April through June 2017, Iraq was “the only Muslim-majority nation among the top six origin countries.” The number of Syrian refugees admitted to the U.S. from January 21, 2017 through June 30, 2017 was 1779. Comparing the number of refugee admissions from Syria for the entire month of January with the entire month of February 2017, the number dropped by nearly half. By June 2017, the number of refugees admitted from Syria was about 26 percent of the already low number of 673 admitted in February.

Christian America had better find some way of thanking Trump for this profound gesture.
Any and all Americans who hate Islam had best get in line as well.
Sickest of all are the Lutheran and Catholic organizations that will likely cry foul over this preference for people who have a snowball’s chance in hell of actually assimilating.
Conservatives everywhere should be willing to lionize Trump for just this one single action. It’s almost on a par with him slaying political correctness (the greatest victory imaginable).
Now, if we could just ZERO out Muslim immigration, then it would be party-time!
“Refugee Resettlement” is a hugely profitable racket.
And the longer it takes them to settle into their new community the more money the various groups make, the Christians will try to work with the Christian Churches in their new home to quickly fit into the new home.

Red Lines in Syria
Will Turkey’s attacks on U.S. allies stir Washington to action?
July 19, 2017
Kenneth R. Timmerman
Suleymania, Iraq – With Saturday’s bombing of Afrin, a town controlled by America’s Kurdish allies in northern Syria, Turkey appears to have crossed a line.
Turkish artillery pounded the Ashrafiyeh neighborhood near the city center as well as surrounding villages. Reports from the region said the Turkish attack killed five civilians, including an entire family that was buried alive in their own home, and damaged dozens of homes.
“This is considered the first targeting of the city since the start of Turkish preparations” to expand military operations in Northwest Syria last month, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Turkish attacks were not directed against ISIS or against any other Islamist group. The Turks targeted Afrin because it has become a key political hub for the Democratic Union Party of Syria, the YPD, which Turkey accuses of being part of the PKK.
I spoke with Asya Abdallah Osman, the co-president of the YPD, on the sidelines of a conference both of us were attending in Iraqi Kurdistan. She was visibly shaken when she called home and learned details about the civilian casualties in Afrin.

Time, Trump Jr. and Double Standards
Time demonizes the president’s son — but guess who it hails as the “Hero and Icon of the Century”?
July 19, 2017
Humberto Fontova
“Russia is a fierce rival of the U.S. and has been for generations. What politician jumps in bed with Russia? For advisers to a would-be President to take at face value an offer of clandestine assistance from Moscow is foolish at best, reckless for sure and potentially treasonous in the worst-case scenario.” (“Tailgunner” Joe McCarthy, Barry Goldwater and J. Edgar Hoover were all limp-wristed pinkos compared to this week’s Time magazine.)
Yet this very same Time magazine hails the Soviet Russians’ most faithful devotee/agent in the Americas as “Hero and Icon of the Century.”
“The solution to the world’s problems lies behind the Iron Curtain.” (Che Guevara.)
“I have sworn before a picture of the old and mourned comrade Stalin that I won’t rest until I see these capitalist octopuses (the U.S.) annihilated!” (Che Guevara.)
“I have come to communism because of daddy Stalin and nobody must come and tell me that I mustn’t read Stalin.” (Che Guevara.)
“If the nuclear missiles had remained in Cuba we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City. The victory of socialism is well worth millions of Atomic victims.” (Che Guevara, 1962.)
“What!? Is he (Fidel Castro) proposing that we start a nuclear war? That we launch missiles from Cuba…But that is insane!…Remove them (our missiles) as soon as possible! Before it’s too late. Before something terrible happens!” (Nikita Khrushchev Oct. 28th 1962.)
““The solution to the world’s problems lies behind the Iron Curtain.” (Che Guevara.)”
In a sense, Che’s right, just not in the way he meant it.
However overboard it usually went, the USSR did understand the need to ruthlessly crush declared enemies without so much as a backward glance.
Much like today’s Islam, the Soviet Union managed to make “too many enemies, too fast”. Where Communist Russia screwed the pooch was in making so many enemies out of its own people. No economy can withstand alienating that many of its workers.
Time Magazine’s lionizing of Che is just another nail in its own coffin. Long ago, I lost the slightest shred of sympathy for the Main-Stream Media’s self-inflicted wounds.
EGYPT- Detained Uyghur Students Held by Egypt’s Intelligence Service
Ethnic Uyghur students detained in Egypt for deportation to China are being held by the country’s national intelligence service, according to an activist, as a human rights group said the agency’s involvement is a clear indication that Beijing had ordered the roundup.
More than 200 Uyghurs, many of them religious students at Cairo’s Al-Azhar Islamic University, have been detained since July 4, rounded up in restaurants or at their homes, with others seized at airports as they tried to flee to safer countries, sources told RFA’s Uyghur Service in earlier reports.
Dozens of Uyghurs are believed to have already been deported home to China, where rights groups say they face a serious risk of arbitrary detention and torture.
Media reports have quoted officials as denying that Egyptian authorities were targeting Uyghurs and saying that those arrested were brought in for “alleged irregularities in their residency papers,” but Uyghur exile groups and students say the detentions were ordered by China on allegations that they had “joined extremist organizations.”
Earlier this week, a Uyghur activist student based in Egypt told RFA on condition of anonymity that he had discovered around 50 Uyghur students detained at 14 police stations over the weekend, including in several districts in Cairo and Alexandria.
While speaking with a ranking police officer at the Nozha station in Cairo on Sunday, he was told that the detainees “shouldn’t worry about anything” because Egypt and China’s foreign ministries were “discussing how to handle this issue,” and that they wouldn’t be deported to China, but to a third country “in the worst case scenario.”
But after smuggling a cellphone to the detained Uyghurs there, the activist said he received a call from one of the students the following day who said the group was being handcuffed and “told that they were going to be deported to China.”
A lawyer who spoke with police at Nozha station on Monday was told that the students would be taken to the Chinese embassy to be photographed, and students told the activist by phone that they “would be deported after they were handed over to the Chinese embassy,” he said.
On Tuesday, the activist told RFA that he had learned that Egypt’s General Intelligence Directorate (GID), also known as the Mukhabarat, had ordered the detention of the Uyghur students and is currently holding them in an undisclosed location.
“This isn’t the regional, but the national intelligence service,” he said.
“Police confirmed that the original order to detain and deport Uyghur students came from [the GID].”
On Wednesday, the activist said that “at least 73 Uyghur students” were currently being held at the headquarters of the GID in Cairo, while reports said that all of the students were being transferred to the capital’s notorious Tora Prison complex for interrogation by Chinese officials.
When contacted by RFA, an official at the Chinese embassy in Cairo, who refused to give her name and title, said she was unaware of any arrests of Uyghur students by the Egyptian authorities.
‘Chinese involvement’
Husein Bayun, a representative of London-based rights group Amnesty International in Tunisia, told RFA Tuesday that it was extremely uncommon for the GID to issue such an order.
“That is a sign of the level of Chinese involvement in this, because the [GID] in Egypt would usually not handle these types of cases at all,” he said.
“The even bigger problem with the situation right now is that, so far, there is absolutely zero transparency from the Egyptian government, so lawyers on the ground there are unable to contact detained students.”
Bayun noted that the Egyptian government has yet to comment on the number of people arrested, where they were arrested and held, whether they will be forcibly repatriated to China, and what the grounds for their arrest were.
“Looking at Egypt and China’s past records of human rights violations during detentions, it’s extremely worrying when we don’t know the situation of the detained students,” he said.
As a signatory to the United Nations’ Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, and according to international law, Egypt cannot deport the students to China because of the threats they face at home, Bayun said.
“As we already know, the students that were deported to China are now serving 15-year sentences … for allegedly ‘inciting radicalism,’ which is a ridiculous charge,” he said.
“So basically, many of the people who could be deported back to China would face risk of torture, would face the risk of extremely long prison sentences and completely unfair trials.”
Open letter
Also on Tuesday, the Tucson, Arizona-based Middle East Studies Association (MESA) published an open letter to Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry condemning the detention and deportation of Uyghur students from the country.
“We understand that many Uyghur students in Cairo who have not been detained are currently in hiding, fearing for their personal safety,” the letter said.
“For international students to confront such fear, uncertainty, and physical insecurity despite having committed no crimes and having valid residence or tourist visas is extremely alarming, and especially so given that the Egyptian government is apparently doing nothing to protect them.”
MESA stressed that Egypt is in violation of its role as a party to the U.N. Convention against Torture by deporting the students to China, where it said they are “highly likely to face detention and torture” as members of a persecuted minority there, and urged the leaders to provide them with protection.
“We call on the Egyptian government to immediately halt arrests and deportations of Uyghur students studying in Egypt, as well as family members who may be accompanying them, and to allow all Uyghur students with valid visas to continue their studies in Egypt undisturbed,” the group said.
“We further call on the Egyptian government to speak out against attempts by the Government of the People’s Republic of China to coerce these students to return to China and to threaten their family members who are still in China.”
The ruling Chinese Communist Party blames some Uyghurs for a string of violent attacks and clashes in China in recent years, but critics say the government has exaggerated the threat from the ethnic group, and that repressive domestic policies are responsible for violence that has left hundreds dead since 2009.
China regularly conducts “strike hard” campaigns in Xinjiang, including police raids on Uyghur households, restrictions on Islamic practices, and curbs on the culture and language of the Uyghur people, including videos and other material.

Freedom’s Safest Place | S2 E2: “The Violence Of Lies”
I like it!
Me too!!!
The DL | S1 E1: “The Truth About the Second Amendment”
Gun Control History MUST SEE
Mao said that all power comes from the end of a gun, he is right. What is not often said is that all freedom comes from the end of a gun, does anyone think the US First Amendment would be honored if the people weren’t armed and ready to protect it? Look at the Bundy Ranch stand off, that was a citizen militia preventing the government from oppressing the people.
Be sure and watch the above video
While the various death tolls experienced by disarmed populations are instructive, the video makes some serious blunders.
It neglects to answer the question, “From: Did Black People Own Slaves?”
In 1830, the year most carefully studied by Carter G. Woodson, about 13.7 percent (319,599) of the black population was free. Of these, 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States, so the numbers of slaves owned by black people over all was quite small by comparison with the number owned by white people. In his essay, ” ‘The Known World’ of Free Black Slaveholders,” Thomas J. Pressly, using Woodson’s statistics, calculated that 54 (or about 1 percent) of these black slave owners in 1830 owned between 20 and 84 slaves; 172 (about 4 percent) owned between 10 to 19 slaves; and 3,550 (about 94 percent) each owned between 1 and 9 slaves. Crucially, 42 percent owned just one slave.
Pressly also shows that the percentage of free black slave owners as the total number of free black heads of families was quite high in several states, namely 43 percent in South Carolina, 40 percent in Louisiana, 26 percent in Mississippi, 25 percent in Alabama and 20 percent in Georgia.
More over, even as the narrator enumerates the 3,500 Blacks that were lynched in the post-Civil War South, no mention is made of the way that number is dwarfed by how many Whites have died at the hands of modern-day Black criminals. Neither is there any mention of the insane disproportion of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black violence, especially rape. The Black-on-White rape statistics are orders of magnitude greater than those of White-on-Black. The same goes for prison rape of White males by Black males.
Neither is any note made of how, among California’s Japanese WWII population, there were a certain proportion of spies passing information to the embassy in San Francisco. Much like with the Coventry bombing in Britain, specifically arresting those Japanese involved in espionage would have tipped off Tokyo that America had cracked Japan’s “purple” code.
While the point remains that disarmed populations are intensely vulnerable, it would be a message made with more honesty if they provided all of the facts.
Nutshell: Temple Mt +Arab psyche
Expert: Understanding Islamic Culture Is Key to Preventing Further Violence at Temple Mount
The Israeli government reopened the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Sunday with strict new security measures, in the wake of Friday’s attack by Arab terrorists who killed two Israeli police officers. Israeli defense experts stress that such attacks are likely to occur again.
Dr. Mordechai Kedar of Bar-Ilan University’s Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, who served for 25 years in IDF military intelligence, noted that the Temple Mount has long been a source of radical Islamic incitement against Israel and the U.S. “There are hundreds of recordings of sermons from the Temple Mount, replete with violence, replete with incitement against the Jews, against Israel.”
In Muslim doctrine, Islam “cannot exist side by side” with another religion, and “within Islam there is only the concept of one religion being dominant over the other….Islam, as a religion, cannot accept a Jewish state. They view Judaism as a threat on Islam.”
While murderous acts are considered unholy by Jews and Westerners, acts of martyrdom can be considered holy in Islamic culture.
Understanding Islamic culture is a key to preventing further violence. “They are violent, but if they face an iron wall, they will retreat – once they understand that they cannot defeat us,” Kedar said. “The more determined Israel is in this regard, the better the chances that this round of violence will be short.”
For more than a decade, worshippers or tourists wishing to visit the adjacent Western Wall have been forced to pass through metal detectors, despite the fact that there have been no recently recorded incidents of Jews seeking to commit acts of terror at the site. Now these same measures are being installed on the Temple Mount.

Report: Trump ending secret CIA program to arm Syrian rebels (cbsnews, Jul 19, 2017)
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-trump-ending-secret-cia-program-to-arm-syrian-rebels/
“President Trump is ending a covert CIA operation to arm and train Syrian rebels fighting against President Bashar al-Assad, something Russia has long desired, according to a Wednesday report in the Washington Post.
The Obama administration introduced the operation in 2013, as a part of its efforts to push Assad out of power, and its effectiveness has come into question even among its backers. But the timing of the decision raises questions for the White House, as it fends off accusations that the president and his team obscured his interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, earlier this month.
On Tuesday, the White House admitted the president had a previously undisclosed discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin over dinner at the G-20. White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday declined to tell reporters during a briefing what Putin and Mr. Trump discussed. The White House is also working to explain the growing list of attendees at the June 2016 meeting Donald Trump Jr. held with a Russian lawyer and others at Trump Tower.
Russia has been critical of U.S. efforts to punish Assad, particularly after the deadly chemical attack Assad carried out on his own people in April. Mr. Trump retaliated against that attack by ordering a missile launch on a Syrian airbase.
Mr. Trump struck a deal with Russia at the G-20 summit on a ceasefire in southwest Syria. Mr. Trump said the deal was a benefit of working with Moscow…”
wiki – Bile bear
Bile bears, sometimes called battery bears, are bears kept in captivity to harvest their bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which is used by some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. It is estimated that 12,000 bears are farmed for bile in China, South Korea, Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar.
Bear bile and gallbladders, which store bile, are ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Its first recorded use was recorded in Tang Ban Cao The pharmacologically active ingredient contained in bear bile and gallbladders is ursodeoxycholic acid
Initially, bile was collected from wild bears which were killed and the gall and its contents cut from the body. In the early 1980s, methods of extracting bile from live bears were developed in North Korea and farming of bile bears began. This rapidly spread to China and other regions.[4] Bile bear farms were started (allegedly) to reduce hunting of wild bears, with the hope that if bear farms raised a self-sustaining population of productive animals, poachers would have little motivation to capture or kill bears in the wild.[2][15]
The demand for bile and gallbladders exists in Asian communities throughout the world, including the EU and the US.[1] This demand has led to bears being hunted in the US specifically for this purpose.

reuters –Vietnam to end bear bile farming
Vietnam signs a Memorandum of Understanding to make bear bile farming illegal as it aims to eradicate the practice by 2020.
“Moon Bear” – now with English sub-titles!
Watch the hard-hitting, undercover documentary showing the brutality of the bear bile industry across China, which recently won a top award at the Fifth China Ya’an International Panda, Animals and Nature Film Week. The documentary was made by three independent film-makers who devoted four years to its production, visiting small and large bear bile farms, revealing “legal” farms with conditions that are clearly breaking current regulations for such farms in China.
The documentary was first launched at an Animals Asia press conference in February 2012, and received over one million views in the first twenty-four hours of its posting online.
This particular subject (in another form) is one that I sought to address about twenty years ago. At that time (1996-1998) Viagra was just hitting the market and poaching of tigers for their penises (a legendary aphrodisiac) remained a major concern for wildlife preservationists.
Inveterate Capitalist that I am, one of my solutions for the endangered tigers was ranching them. Yes, just like cattle. Licenses to do so would include heavy surcharges that went towards monitoring populations in the wild and financing patrols that would shoot-on-sight anyone poaching tigers.
Needless to say (then why say it?), my politically incorrect idea was not particularly well-received. Surprise! Thank goodness for Viagra. The only problem remaining was how to wean off superstitious Chinese men from their oral fixation on tiger penises. No sniggering!
Sadly, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is very much like a stopped clock … it’s right twice a day—unless it’s digital, that is. Apparently, the active compound in bear bile (ursodeoxycholic acid or Ursodiol™) is efficacious at dissolving the sort of smaller gall stones which are made mainly of cholesterol (and cannot be treated surgically). Some ursodeoxycholic acid preparations can also help to treat primary biliary cholangitis, a condition that slowly damages the bile ducts in the liver or even the liver itself.
The good news is that ursodeoxycholic acid can be synthesized. Ergo, extracting this compound from living bears is now a needlessly inhumane process. Again, the remaining problem continues to be persuading wealthy, superstitious Asians that the synthetic compound is a viable substitute.
When you consider that bear bile probably has been in use for a few thousand years to treat a condition which relied upon life-threatening surgery (of a sort that has only recently become manageable) to address, the ability for TCM to identify and prescribe this curative is pretty remarkable.
However, if these “ranchers” refuse to halt their bile harvesting operations, it’s time to arm bears.
Rencontre sur le cimetière musulman cet après-midi à Saint-Apollinaire
Le Centre culturel islamique de Québec (CCIQ) ne ferme pas définitivement la porte à l’idée d’aménager un cimetière musulman à Saint-Apollinaire, même si le projet a été bloqué par la tenue d’un référendum.
Une rencontre se déroule cet après-midi avec l’entreprise funéraire Harmonia, des représentants du CCIQ et le maire de Saint-Apollinaire, Bernard Ouellet.
Les membres de la communauté musulmane ont été convoqués à la grande mosquée de Québec, mardi soir, pour discuter de la suite du dossier. Le président du Centre culturel islamique de Québec, Mohamed Labidi, a précisé qu’il avait l’intention d’explorer toutes les avenues possibles pour sauver le projet.
« Une fois qu’on aura fini avec ça, on étudiera d’autres options. Si on est obligé, on peut penser aux procédures légales aussi », a-t-il affirmé.
M. Labidi s’est par ailleurs réjoui de la sortie du premier ministre Philippe Couillard qui a affirmé, mardi après-midi, que les membres du CCIQ pourront désormais compter sur l’appui du gouvernement du Québec pour trouver une solution dans le dossier. Il s’est toutefois montré prudent.
« C’est un soulagement, mais il faut que les actions suivent, et rapidement. La communauté est inquiète et déçue du résultat du référendum. On sentait, hier, lors de la réunion, la sensation de rejet. Il faut agir vite parce que c’est comme une autre plaie qui est dans notre communauté », a affirmé Mohamed Labidi.
Mardi soir, les membres de la communauté ont également été informés qu’un message haineux avait été envoyé à la grande mosquée de Québec, vendredi dernier.
Le CCIQ a préféré taire l’incident pour ne pas nuire aux résultats du référendum dimanche. Une enquête policière est en cours.

the independent –The massacre of Mosul: 40,000 feared dead in battle to take back city from Isis as scale of civilian casualties revealed
Exclusive: Many bodies are still buried under the rubble and the level of human suffering is ‘immense’, a top Kurdish official reading from latest intelligence reports tells Patrick Cockburn in the last of his special series on the last days of the caliphate
More than 40,000 civilians were killed in the devastating battle to retake Mosul from Isis, according to intelligence reports revealed exclusively to The Independent – a death toll far higher than previous estimates.
Residents of the besieged city were killed by Iraqi ground forces attempting to force out militants, as well as by air strikes and Isis fighters, according to Kurdish intelligence services.
Hoshyar Zebari, until recently a senior minister in Baghdad, told The Independent that many bodies “are still buried under the rubble”. “The level of human suffering is immense,” he said.
“Kurdish intelligence believes that over 40,000 civilians have been killed as a result of massive firepower used against them, especially by the federal police, air strikes and Isis itself,” Mr Zebari added.
Mr Zebari, a native of Mosul and top Kurdish official who has served as the Iraqi finance minister and prior to that foreign minister, emphasised in an exclusive interview that the unrelenting artillery bombardment by units of the Iraqi federal police, in practice a heavily armed military unit, had caused immense destruction and loss of life in west Mosul.
The figure given by Mr Zebari for the number of civilians killed in the nine-month siege is far higher than those previously reported, but the intelligence service of the Kurdistan Regional Government has a reputation for being extremely accurate and well-informed. Isis prevented any monitoring of casualties while outside groups have largely focused on air strikes rather than artillery and rocket fire as a cause of civilian deaths. Airwars, one such monitoring group, estimated that attacks may have killed 5,805 non-military personnel in the city between 19 February and 19 June.
Mr Zebari accuses the government in Baghdad, of which he was until recently a member, of not doing enough to relieve the suffering. “Sometimes you might think the government is indifferent to what has happened,” he said. He doubts if Christians, Yazidis, Kurds and other minorities, who have lived in and around Mosul for centuries, will be able to reconcile with the Sunni Arab majority whom they blame for killing and raping them. He says some form of federal solution for future governance would be best.
Reading from Kurdish intelligence reports, Mr Zebari says that a high level of corruption among the Iraqi military forces occupying Mosul is undermining security measures to suppress Isis in the aftermath of its defeat. He says that suspect individuals are able to pass through military checkpoints by paying $1,000 (£770) and can bring a vehicle by paying $1,500. He says corruption of this type is particularly rife in the 16th and 9th Iraqi army divisions and the Tribal Volunteers (Hashd al-Ashairi), drawn in part from the Shabak minority in the Nineveh Plain.
The ability of Isis militants to remain free or be released from detention by paying bribes has led to a change in attitude among people in Mosul whom Mr Zebari says “were previously willing to give information about Isis members to the Iraqi security forces”. They are now wary of doing so, because they see members of Isis, whom they had identified and who had been arrested, returning to the streets capable of exacting revenge on those who informed against them. Several anti-Isis people in Mosul have confirmed to The Independent that this is indeed the case and they are frightened of these returnees and Isis “sleeper cells” that continue to exist.
Civilians in Mosul say they do not fault the behaviour towards them of combat units that have borne the brunt of the fighting, such as the Counter-Terrorism Service, but they are concerned about what to expect from less well-disciplined troops. A belief that Isis fighters and officials detained in Mosul are later able to bribe their way free explains why soldiers, most of whom are not complicit in bribery networks, have summarily executed Isis prisoners, sometimes by throwing them off high buildings.
Corruption by the occupying military forces takes different forms, according to Kurdish intelligence information cited by Mr Zebari. Some people are “being charged $100 for removing a body from the rubble and others $500 to reoccupy their house”, where it is still standing. Iraqi army and militia units have always been notorious for exacting fees and protection money from civilians, with trucks moving goods on the roads being a particularly profitable target when they pass through military checkpoints.

Hoshyar Zebari may be last last honest Iraqi to speak out.
He wouldn’t submit with sufficient enthusiasiam to the Iranian take-over, so he was fired. The “Coalition” tried to intercede on his behalf but were not successful.
This massive death toll needs to be trumpeted far and wide.
It’s long overdue for the Arab world to understand that whenever even a single ISIS turd surfaces,
rehabilitatekill the POS immediately.That IS the Arab world. At its most pristine. ISIS is just a brandname.
Those Shitte militias are just the twisted-raghead equivalent. Monsters. A “big win over ISIS” that leaves Iran standing tall is the worst possible outcome.
Don’t fall for bs triumphalism. There will be VOMIT buckets full of it.
“A “big win over ISIS” that leaves Iran standing tall is the worst possible outcome. ”
Please read: ““No Substitute for Victory”: The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism“, by John David Lewis.
While a bit lengthy, Lewis articulates precisely why crushing Iran remains a top priority. Although written over ten years ago, his reasoning is just as, if not more, cogent today as it was back then.

“Civil Protection Department Chief Fabrizio Curcio told a Senate committee on Wednesday that it had received 955 requests from local authorities for the deployment of its special fire-fighting fleet so far this year.
“It’s an absolute record for the last 10 years,” Curcio said, adding that 325 of the requests were made in the week of July 10-17. Minister for the South Claudio De Vincenti said Wednesday that criminals will not be allowed to profit from the current wave of wildfires that has hit Italy, with many blazes suspected to be acts of arson. “What is happening is an obscenity that offends all Italian citizens and the south and to a large degree is deliberate,” he said in Naples.
“The government is preparing some urgent measures. The aim is to clip the wings of the speculators and extortionists. Criminal organizations will not sprout up” A second suspected arsonist was arrested in Rome Wednesday for Monday’s fire at the Castel Fusano pine wood in southern Rome. On the day of the fire a 22-year-old man was arrested with paper handkerchiefs and a lighter on him.”
Migrant who tried to stab policeman released (4) (ansa, Jul 19, 2017)

“A migrant from Guinea who tried to stab a policeman near Milan’s central rail station Monday was released from arrest Wednesday. Saidou Mamoud Diallo, 31, will now be dealt with by the Milan police immigration office, which may decide to deport him.
The decision was taken by a preliminary investigations judge, who said “these are not crimes for which jail is envisaged”.
Diallo’s intended victim, who was protected by his bullet-proof vest, sustained a slight wound.
Diallo, who had a record for violence, threats and resisting arrest, had previously been reported for trying to get on a tourist coach armed with a knife. He had been served an order of expulsion from Italy, issued in Sondrio on July 4.
The incident spurred anti-immigrant Northern League MP Paolo Grimoldi to call for “mass expulsions” of migrants.
“Is (Interior Minister Marco) Minniti going to wake up or is he going to wait for a dead body?” he asked.
Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said “controls are the only answer to these problems”.”

“For years far-left activists in Berlin followed the strategy of attacking property, not people. But that is changing, the Berlin interior ministry claimed on Tuesday.
“2016 was marked out by a spiral in left-wing violence that not only led to a multitude of serious crimes, but also in part to a radicalized tone – which has seen calls for the murder of police officers and politicians,” the ministry warned in its security report for 2016, released on Tuesday.
“The inhibition threshold regarding physical attacks is sinking, and we are now at the stage where targeted assassination of political opponents no longer appears completely unrealistic,” the report states.
Several violent confrontations between police and left-wing protesters around Rigaer Strasse, a left-wing street in the east of Berlin which holds deep symbolic significance for the far left, were central to the radicalization in the scene, the report argues…”

“Green party candidate Cem Özdemir was highly critical of Turkey in a DW interview. He said that Germany must end its “naive policies” towards Ankara. And he was very clear in his attitude towards Russian sanctions…
Özdemir responded by declaring that any attempt to create a “parallel society in Germany” must be stopped immediately. He said that too many Turkish opposition supporters have come to him fearing they are insufficiently protected in Germany. “I feel we need to give a crystal clear answer that we will not tolerate anything like that here. I think Germany is a little too naive in that regard.”
In that same context, he also criticized Chancellor Angela Merkel for being too “soft.” He claimed that “integration-minded people” on the executive boards of mosques are being removed “and replaced with people that are getting their orders from Ankara.” Özdemir said that was unacceptable: “Erdogan wants to exercise power inside Germany.”
Alluding to the increased influence he says Erdogan is seeking, the Green party leader insisted: “In the future there will be no more money from Turkey for mosques here.”…”
