1, Mohamed was fast tracked to be a police officer in Minneapolis
, ASSOCIATED PRESSIn this May 2016 image provided by the city of Minneapolis, police officer Mohamed Noor poses for a photo at a community event welcoming him to the Minneapolis police force.
Minneapolis made a significant financial investment in Mohamed Noor.
The officer who fatally shot Justine Damond graduated in 2015 from the city’s accelerated police cadet program. The seven-month training is a quicker, nontraditional route to policing aimed at helping those who already have a college degree enter law enforcement.
The Minneapolis program covers tuition at Hennepin Technical College and pays trainees a $20-an-hour salary with benefits while they work to get licensed. After that their salary bumps up.
More than a year into the job, Noor, 31, rose from a beat cop’s obscurity to international headlines after shooting Damond, a 40-year-old spiritual healer from Australia, after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault behind her southwest Minneapolis home. When she approached the driver’s side window of the squad car, Noor, who was in the passenger seat, fired across his partner in the driver’s seat, killing Damond.
2. Muslims do weaponized ritual, threatening Israelis for stopping them from bringing guns and bombs into Al Aqsa mosque.
3. Please take the time to go over to Gates of Vienna, and check out Matt Bracken’s new book. The history of Western Civilization is in no small part, the use of fiction to expose important truths about tyranny and abuse of power. This is a perfect example.
4. Civilization is broken when businesses refuse to serve you because of your politics. “Zionists” etc.
5. Twin Cities residents fighting back against the muslim affirmative action hire who murdered an Australian women who was attempting to report a rape.
The Daily mail has the story, as well as another story about how the same Muslim Somali affirmative action hire is being sued for what he should be in jail for. Break and enter and forcible confinement.
6. Anti-Khadr protest planned on Parliament Hill for July 30
While Canadians have been venting their frustrations about the Omar Khadr pay-out on social media and over the airwaves, they’ll now have a chance to take it right to Parliament Hill.
A group of activists have secured a permit for Sunday, July 30 to voice their displeasure right on the east lawn of the parliament buildings. It will commence at 11 a.m.
“The purpose is to show support for the two victim families – the Speers and Layne Morris,” says lead organizer Georgeanne Burke, a long-time Conservative strategist and consultant.
“It’s going to be a cross-party event – people from across the spectrum are upset,” says the well-connected Burke. She’s heard from people all across the political landscape who are unhappy. “They feel it was done in a very underhanded way to avoid letting the people know.”
7. Very interesting and enjoyable video about life behind the Iron Curtain, specifically in the Czech Republic. Perhaps Xanthippa will offer a comment on how this jibes with her personal memories. Those of you who know people who were young adults during the Soviet times and escaped, could start to interview them, The horrors of communism must not be forgotten.
Thank you Buck, M., Wrath of Khan, Richard, EB and all who sent in materials. The last item on socialism, then and now I have watched twice in a row. This is the sort of thing that really needed to be made.
1 – Mohammad was an affirmative action hire who received massively modified training to get him ion the street so the SJW’s could feel morally superior to the people who opposed the flooding of Western Civilization with Islamic invaders. Actions like this have destroyed civilization and are destroying our nations. We are faced with either allowing our nations and cultures to be destroyed or to resist and causing a massive civil war in all Western nations. The useful idiots will believe the Propaganda Media that it is all the fault of the Right even as they see the violence being committed by people shouting leftist slogans.

…basket of emotions…
Yes, one of my earliest memories is from the August 21st, 1968, invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw-pact countries.
Yes, I was an infant – but, I suspect that the combination of my Aspie-ness and the terror I felt in the adults around me were instrumental, on an evolutionary lever, for me to retain these memories.
I remember the tanks rolling down the main street in front of my babysitter’s/nannie’s apartment – and her pulling me away from the window over my best (physical) efforts to stay and watch. Yeah, I was an infant barely crawling – she won.
My mother took me to a cottage ‘off the beaten path’ – no electricity, running water or sewage, but also far off the roads navigable by tanks. My father was, at that time, a fighter pilot in the air-force and had to stay deployed…and, through the stress of all this, my mother lost her only other child, long unborn.
Afterwards, my father was labeled as “A Potential Leader of the People Against the People’…yeah, he ended up in the Uranium mines. NOT as a prisoner – but, in a country where every single job is being a civil servant to a totalitarian government, it was either a job in the Uranium mines or being jailed for being unemployed…
…because in a land where there is a ‘right to work’, only criminals do not have government jobs – and that is 100% un-escapable evidence before the courts.
Ok, Ok – too emotional now to present a logical, well-reasoned reply. Sorry – just too hard.
Here is the fucking song referred:

Perhaps tomorrow I will be calm enough to translate…no promises!!!
P.S. – I used to listen to ‘The Plastics’ from an early age – as young as I could be and access ‘contraband music’ – which means about grade 3, when all the kids were ‘trading’ contraband music, comedy skits and anything else anti-Communist/anti/Soviet.
When we could not share copies of tapes, we would share copies of lyrics, typed up with so many carbons that the final copies were barely legible….yet we loved it all
I remember that time also, I was setting on a microwave radio station less then 5 miles from United States Army Headquarters Europe. I spent 32 long hours waiting for word that we were going to war.
Dear Xanthippa,
Without understanding a single word, the song’s obvious lament, regret, and hearkening for a time of goodness that is now past wrenches my heart.
With love,

Nonsense, offered cleverly and artfully, also speaks truth to power. Under cover of Nonsense absurdist writers of communist countries criticized tyranny. This is the other side of the dangerous coin. Bulgakov, Kafka, Kundera, Dostoyevsky, Gogol, Pasternak, Kertesz etc. spoke to an underground in furtive subtextual tongues, exposing the enemies of freedom. Freedom within one’s mind is the last hovel of freedom, itself. For this reason, despite the intended illiteracy of postmodernist western populations, there should theoretically and organically arise a new wave of absurdist artists eluding modern thought oppression.
I’ve always liked Kundras “Unbearable lightness of being, I read it when I was 19
I’m now 47
I read all of Kafka at around 19. I was hooked on the ridiculous absurdist stuff. I got it then and I get it now. If people can’t talk they find a way around.
“The horrors of communism must not be forgotten.”
Not ever! This bit of history must not be allowed even TO RHYME! (much less repeat itself.)
Humanity deserves so much better and must not be forced to witness any further sort of obscenity.
What humanity deserves I would be reluctant to say.
But trying to improve what humanity deserves, or at least avoid the fate that humanity may deserve, that is something individuals can do.
I really hope that someone like Fjordman, or another equally lucid person in terms of observing these times and understanding the events taking place at least chronicles them in a way that future generations, if and when they emerge from the darkness that may well be what we deserve, can understand and benefit from, in much the way the series, I Claudius, claims that emperor did in those times for our benefit.
Cutting public money from universities though, really would go a long way to solving these problems. Im pretty sure if kids or parents had to pay for tuition themselves, they would insist on results that was not something from a Timothy Leary wet dream.
