1. Canada up there with Burma and other despotic nations when it comes to freedom of speech.
(This National Post opinion piece is really quite good. Anyone reading this site in Canada, or outside Canada but interested in the state of the right to criticize political (and ultimately religious) authority should read it. The government of Canada managed to extract a punitive fine from someone based on a law, they even admitted, had been ruled unconstitutional, but as they had tricked her into pleading guilty based on an earlier charge when she did not know that, she was found guilty for violating her court order based on a conviction on that same invalid law! Read the article for clarity.)
2. China claims India building up troops, repairing roads on disputed border areas.
(It sure feels like once the US is engaged on as many fronts that its enemies estimate is the limit, a lot of geopolitical issues will go kinetic.)
3. Report: Half of Terror Plots in Germany by ‘Refugees’, Nation Targeted After Migrant Crisis
More than half (54 per cent) of terror plots in Germany have involved asylum seekers and refugees since 2014 and the onset of the migrant crisis.
The report, by the Heritage Foundation think tank, found that attacks across Europe by foreign trained militants increased dramatically in 2016, following the height of the migrant influx, with Germany becoming a much more popular target.
“The increase in the threat to Germany is especially stark,” the report’s authors write. “There were no plots in Germany in 2014, and only two in 2015. In 2016, this increased eightfold.
4. Iran vows ‘intelligent & proportional’ retaliation against US sanctions
(This from a nation that does daily chants of “death to America” by the hundreds of thousands. Can’t imagine what smart and proportional means to them.)
5. Libyan general orders navy to confront ships entering waters
(If anyone understands the article at that link please explain it in the comments. Based on what we know here from European news, the Italian government appears to have asked the Libyan navy to stop migrant boats and the NGOs that are causing the migrant crisis. But this article is so vague that there is zero indicators of what is actually going on. the new-new-speak of the CVE.)
6. The smart European money seems to think that the future of safe large events is in Hungary.
7. In its ongoing battle with the German led EU, Poland makes a massive propaganda point at a soccer game.
8. Boko Haram extremists storm Nigeria village, killing 7
Authorities in northern Nigeria say Boko Haram extremists have killed at least seven people in an attack on a village where they burned homes and shops to the ground.
Fleeing residents said the fighters stormed Mildu village late Tuesday.
The community is not far from the Sambisa Forest, which was a Boko Haram stronghold before Nigeria’s military announced it had regained control of the area late last year.
Thank you ML., M., Johnny U., Wrath of Khan, Ava Lon, PerfectChild, MissPiggy and so many more who regularly contribute to this site and the genuine informing of those who wish to see.
Many of us felt that the Rep. King video where he calls out Obama for some highly subversive acts was so important, that I subtitled the first part of it and re-uploaded it.
Sometimes this means way more views as its a little shorter as I cut the parts about Huma Abedin, even though its equally important from an American Insider POV, and the English titles may make it easier for non-native English speakers to read, but also may make it possible for people to more easily translate this clip into other languages.
Ava Lon already did it in Polish which is below the English:
Please send the Polish clip out to whomever you may know that speaks Polish or has connections to the Polish community.
2 – You have called it, once our forces are tied down in active combat things are going to go kinetic all around the world, This tension in the Himalayan mountains is one of the major flash points that are becoming more active, this tension is the reason India didn’t join in the maneuvers up near North Korea. The Chinese have been wanting to take more of that territory since 1962 and see the weakened state of the US and us being tied down in NORK as the perfect time. I would like ot know what forces they have moved into position near Taiwan and how much Military/Naval forces they have been moving into the disputed Islands? Add in the aggressive actions of the Iranian Navy and we see another enemy getting active. Then there is the Russian maneuvers near the former Warsaw Bloc nations. I am sure I have missed some potential actions that are becoming semi active waiting for the shooting to start.
The Third Lebanon War: Not A Matter Of ‘If,’ But ‘When’
Israel reflects on history and weighs its options.
August 3, 2017
Ari Lieberman
In the weeks preceding the Six-Day War, Israel was faced with ever increasing existential challenges which warranted resolute action. Israel’s generals correctly argued to the political echelon that with each passing day, Israel’s strategic position became more compromised. The situation was particularly acute on Israel’s southern border with Egypt where the Egyptian army deployed seven divisions including three armored divisions. Official Arab government pronouncements, with ever increasing shrill and belligerence, made clear that the intention was to wipe Israel off the map.

3. Report: Half of Terror Plots in Germany by ‘Refugees’, Nation Targeted After Migrant Crisis
Two very important inferences can be drawn from this single statistic:
1.) Some 50% of these “terror plots” could be interdicted simply by NOT allowing more rapefugees into the country (and deporting all who are involved in these nefarious conspiracies).
2.) Another 50% of these plotters were BORN IN GERMANY, which indicates a serious problem with assimilation (as in how new generations becoming increasingly radicalized).
Why this isn’t setting off blaring klaxon horns at every national security agency and police station strains all credulity.
7/ That ball game display is more impressive than a commie May Day Parade.
That had to rock the socks off the thugs menacing Poland {again}. Mr. Orbán refers to Poland in glowing terms frequently in his speeches. Now I see why.
Go Visegrád!
6/. If they stand firm against the bullies, and guard against speculators, the countries of Eastern Europe will be blessed by a new breed of pilgrim.
An aliyah alternative for Christians! {And Jews, according to Mr. Orbán.}
It’s the first time I’ve felt optimistic about Europe in a very long time.
I have always been optimistic that Europe will end up free but am pessimistic about their doing the job on their own. The Western European nations are racing to see who can surrender fastest just as the US and Canada are racing to see who becomes a third world nation first.
