  1. BREAKING: Three men arrested at Barcelona Airport in police operation DAYS after terror (express, Aug 21, 2017)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/844136/barcelona-airport-arrest-police-las-ramblas-terror

    “THREE men have been arrested at Barcelona Airport after trying to evade a police security check, according to reports.

    The trio were detained at Barcelona Airport’s Terminal Two, with images showing armed police officers standing over them as they tried to get the situation under control.

    Barcelona is on high alert after last week’s terror attack which left 15 people dead and more than 100 injured when a van ploughed into pedestrians on Las Ramblas, in the heart of the city.

    The news comes just a few hours after Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, who is believed to have been driving the van, was shot dead by police after being spotted with an explosive belt strapped to him…”

  2. “An Uber driver who put his penis into a passenger’s mouth ‘freaked out’ when the victim told him she had HIV, a court heard.”

    “Prosecutor Sarah Morris said the victim had been out for a meal, but felt unwell after drinking a bottle of wine and ordered an Uber to take her home.

    Abdirizak picked her up on November 10 last year but stopped in Buckle Street, Stepney, and stroked the woman’s thigh as she slept, jurors heard.”

    “Miss Morris said: ‘He got into the back and put his penis into her mouth. He said, ‘I’ll only drive you if you suck my dick’.

    She told him a lie, she told him she had HIV to keep him away from her.”

    “‘He got out a squash bottle from his car and started washing his mouth and penis because he though he was contaminated.

    ‘I know he was freaked out. I said ‘I’ll walk you through it, I have had it for five years, don’t worry about it’.’”

    It is what it is.

  3. The Kurds Are About to Blow up Iraq

    Next month, on September 25, the Kurdistan Regional Government in Erbil will hold a binding referendum on whether or not to secede from Iraq. It will almost certainly pass. More than a decade ago, the Kurds held a non-binding referendum that passed with 99.8% of the vote.

    No one knows what’s going to happen. Iraq is the kind of place where just about anything can happen and eventually does.

    Kurdish secession could go as smoothly as a Scottish secession from the United Kingdom (were that to actually happen) or a Quebecois secession from Canada, were that to actually happen. It could unfold like Kosovo’s secession from Serbia, where some countries recognize it and others don’t while the Serbs are left to stew in their own juices more or less peaceably.

  4. PayPal Bans Jihad Watch from Accepting Donations
    Online payment company PayPal has banned Jihad Watch and the site’s director Robert Spencer from accepting online donations using the service.

    PayPal has reportedly suspended the account of Jihad Watch, according to the website’s director, Robert Spencer. In a post on Jihad Watch calling for the boycott of PayPal, Spencer outlined his correspondence with the company over a number of emails. PayPal’s suspension of Spencer’s account came shortly after an article published by Lauren Kirchner of ProPublica who criticized tech companies such as PayPal that allow Jihad Watch to utilize their online services.

    “Because of its “extreme hostility toward Muslims,” the website Jihadwatch.org is considered an active hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League,” wrote Kirchner. “But its designation as a hate site hasn’t stopped tech companies — including PayPal, Amazon, and Newsmax — from maintaining partnerships with Jihad Watch that help to sustain it financially.”

    Shortly after the publication of this article that PayPal contacted Spencer with an email which stated,

    Dear Robert Spencer,

    We have recently reviewed your usage of PayPal’s services, as reflected in
    our records and on your website https://www.jihadwatch.org. Due to the
    nature of your activities, we have chosen to discontinue service to you in
    accordance with PayPal’s User Agreement. As a result, we have placed a
    permanent limitation on your account.

    We ask that you please remove all references to PayPal from your website.
    This includes removing PayPal as a payment option, as well as the PayPal
    logo and/or shopping cart.

    If you have a remaining balance, you may withdraw the money to your bank
    account. Information on how to withdraw money from your PayPal account can
    be found via our Help Center.

    We thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions or
    need our support, please contact the PayPal Brand Risk Management
    Department at au*@pa****.com.

    Sincerely,

    Breitbart reached out to Spencer, who gave the following comment on his sudden suspension from PayPal:

    People have complained for years about the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate group” list lumping legitimate groups in with the KKK, neo-Nazis, etc. Now this has teeth, as PayPal and others are closing their platforms to those who dissent from the establishment Leftist line, based on the SPLC’s hit list.

    The Left sees blood in the water after Charlottesville and is moving in for the kill, attempting to delegitimize, silence and destroy all dissenting voices. The freedom of speech, the foundation of a free society, is being eroded away under our very noses. The recent meeting of the Vice President of Facebook with the Pakistani government, and his assurances that Facebook would remove all criticism of Islam, reveal what’s really going on here: not an attempt to shut down actual “hate speech,” which would result in the closing of many mosques, but an attempt to shut down all criticism of Islam in accord with Sharia blasphemy laws, with the goal of allowing the jihad to advance unopposed and unimpeded.

    The SPLC has previously been accused of using its list of “hate figures” as a political tool to silence conservatives. Spencer alleges that the group is doing exactly that by listing Jihad Watch as a “hate site.” Journalist Ken Silverstein has previously called the SPLC “essentially a fraud,” and stated that the SPLC had “a habit of casually labeling organizations as ‘hate groups.’” Silverstein also said, “In doing so the SPLC shuts down debate, stifles free speech, and most of all, raises a pile of money, very little of which is used on behalf of poor people.”

    In Jihad Watch’s post about the suspension, Spencer called for a boycott of PayPal saying, “So: if you support the work of Jihad Watch, close your PayPal account now. Contact them and tell them why. Tell all your friends that PayPal has bowed to Left-fascism, and to boycott it.” For now, the site is accepting donations directly via check sent to 1040 1st Ave #121, New York, NY 10022.

    PayPal did not respond to a request for comment from Breitbart Tech.

    Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include information as to how supporters can donate directly to Jihad Watch.

      Businesses run by the numbers, the customers, the masses, the bell curves of preference.

      Therefore when politicians create narrow minds through Marxist Ideology in education, then companies will use the exactly same subliminal messaging in adverting to seduce them to buy. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

      Multinational companies once supported Hitler. Socialism always has been a marketing dream. Because they think and act the same while complaining who is culturally appropriating who while all eating from the same Benefits Tree. Diversity Rules.

      So Spencer has made other customers unhappy. At least accused of doing so by those targeting his existence.

      Likewise, If he was accused by the same people of tearing a Koran in the street, Muslim pedestrians would kill him.

      Denying him life. This is how the creatures of ego function – because the truth denies them life.

      • I can’t find it, but I just read some wonderful article about Gorka on an IDF site. He’s a genuine Good-Guy, son of another Good-Guy.

    • Very interesting-
      Out-takes, new logo. Look like ethnic North Africans, but someone off-camera speaks in broken-English. I didn’t catch the dialect.
      All very human, kinda appealing…

  5. Shocking behavior of Muslim children in kindergarten. They pretended to cut throat
    Yesterday, 21st of August (21:32)

    The Belgian daily “Het Laatste Nieuws” revealed an internal report made last year regarding a nursery in the Flemish town of Ronse, in northwestern Belgium. The report concerned radicalization of some Muslim children attending the nursery.
    According to the media, the case concerns six children who threatened death to unbeliever children, called them “pigs”, pretending to cut their throat, recited verses of the Quran during breaks, refused to shake hands and did not want to come on Friday to school because of religious reasons.
    The internal report describes with alarm behaviour of children professing Islam. Principals minimized the tone of the report saying that the document concerns only 1% of all children therefore one should not dramatize, although it is advisable to remain vigilant – reports the French weekly “Le Point”.
    In Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, since 2016 works “Netwerk Islamexperten” program (Network of experts from Islam). Within its scope different ways to combat radicalization of Muslim students are proposed to the schools. Since its inception, the program has covered nearly 500 students.
    On the French-speaking side, that is in Wallonia and in Brussels – writes “Le Soir” – operates a mobile team of specialists. They visit educational institutions if there is a suspicion of radicalization of the students. In the school year 20016/17 the team intervened 73 times – but never in kindergarten. The police. ntervene in serious cases.
