  1. Saudi Arabia ‘threatens countries’ that back UN probe into Yemen civilian deaths (alaraby, Sep 27, 2017)
    https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/9/26/saudi-arabia-threatens-countries-that-back-un-yemen-probe

    “Saudi Arabia has threatened economic retaliation against countries that back a UN resolution setting up an international probe into war violations in Yemen, AFP reported on Tuesday.

    A letter viewed by the news agency on Tuesday comes as UN members consider a Dutch/Canadian draft, which calls for an investigation – known as a Commission of Inquiry – into war deaths in the Yemen.

    Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab military coalition backing the Yemeni government against rebels, but airstrikes have led to many civilian deaths.

    Riyadh is highly sensitive of criticism about the way it handles the war.

    “Adopting The Netherlands/Canadian draft resolution in the Human Rights Council may negatively affect the bilateral political economic relations with Saudi Arabia”, a letter circulated by the kingdom and seen by AFP said.

    Saudi Arabia “will not accept” the Dutch/Canadian draft, it added, and called for more support to the Yemeni domestic probe, which the UN says lacks credibility.

    The Geneva director for Human Rights Watch, who has also seen the document sent to multiple countries, described the threat as “disgraceful”.

    “It is outrageous that Saudi Arabia is seeking to use threats of economic and political sanctions to bully states into not supporting the kind of international investigation that could put an end to the abuses,” Fisher told AFP.

    “The (Arab) coalition forces have bombed hospitals, they have bombed market places, homes, funeral parlours and it is time for the international community to say enough is enough.”

    United Nations rights chief Zeid Raad al-Hussein has repeatedly lobbied the Human Rights Council to create an independent investigation of alleged atrocities in Yemen.

    A Saudi-led coalition entered the Yemen war against Houthi rebels in March 2015.

    Civilian targets like markets and hospitals have also been hit during the war, but Saudi Arabia has so far succeeded in blocking an international probe.

    The Human Rights Council, which concludes its ongoing session on Friday, is again split over a path forward.

    At least 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen’s war, the vast majority are believed to be civilians.”

  2. Berlin – Capitol of Crime

    Interesting report about the increase in crime in Berlin, where your chances of becoming a victim to crime are doubled from that of the rest of Germany.

    570,000 criminal offenses were reported in Berlin last year. As many as in any other German city. The crime clearance rate drops from year to year. Drug trafficking, large-scale criminal Arabian families, no-go areas, terrorism and extremist violence: the security dilemma of an entire nation is evident in a few square kilometers in Berlin’s city center.

And you’re sitting there and you see this, how do you think you feel? Why are you in Afghanistan? Why?” he wrote.

    • O’Reilly is right to be upset, this isn’t about any supposed injustice against any groups, this is about spoiled muil9millionaires deciding that they can disrespect this nation and everything we are stand for. They are part of the group that wants to destroy the nation and most of them are so uneducated they don’t know this.

      Don’t tell me that most of them are Collage Graduates, they went to school on football scholarships and were given easy courses to take so they could remain eligible to play ball. The sepecial treatment of football players has been a scandal since I have been a little kid.

      • What we have is a particularly difficult topic that equates to arguments about burning the American flag.

        …this is about spoiled multimillionaires deciding that they can disrespect this nation and everything we are stand for.

        Which, above all, is why all decent American people should participate in a long-standing boycott of organized sports. I full well realize that this suggestion will not appeal to most sports fans but the NFL, AFL, NBA, MLB, and just about any other “professional” (yes, those are sneer quotes) athletic organization is so corrupt to where they represent a diversion of funds and public attention that, in recent years, has become criminal. Two words: Barry Bonds.

        So-called “celebrity athletes” (again, those are sneer quotes) rank among some of the most overpaid and under-worked individuals short only of Hollyweird mega-stars. One merely need examine the criminal arrest (and conviction) rates, much less the incarceration records or bankruptcy proceedings against these excessively-entitled and profligate gangsta thugs to gain a slight appreciation of how corrupt the entire pro-sports (and entertainment) system is.

        All the same, there should be no legal compulsion for these primates to stand erect during the national anthem (or burn the American flag). It’s their choice to be disrespectful and it’s our choice to switch off the idiot box.

        They are part of the group that wants to destroy the nation and most of them are so uneducated they don’t know this.

        There is no way to overstate this issue. Recipients of college sports scholarships are routinely found to have “assistants” taking their tests for them even as these “star” performers are discovered to have been provided with expensive vehicles or off-campus housing as part of their “higher edumahcation”.

        Don’t tell me that most of them are College Graduates, they went to school on football scholarships and were given easy courses to take so they could remain eligible to play ball. The special treatment of football players has been a scandal since I have been a little kid.

        As I noted above, this is an endemic issue.

        Here is a single question whose answer provides a window on all other college sports problems.

        At almost all major universities and colleges, who is the most highly paid employee?

        Answer: The football coach.

        No other single statistic is so indicative of how distorted American values are.

        What about the Dean of Sciences? End of story. Full stop.

        Kneeling at sporting events is a pimple on the ass of what’s truly wrong with the entire “college farm” and America’s “professional athletic” structure.

        As another total irony, Remember those old bumper-stickers?:

        It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.

        What about when it will be a great day that we have all the higher education money we need for research and invention? Perish the fecking thought.

  5. Army investigating West Point grad’s pro-communist social media posts

    The U.S. Army announced on Tuesday that it is probing a West Point graduate’s pro-communist posts on social media.

    The Army was quick to announce it was looking into the messages posted by Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone, issuing a statement on Tuesday saying, “Second Lieutenant Rapone’s actions in no way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army.”

    “As figures of public trust, members of the military must exhibit exemplary conduct, and are prohibited from engaging in certain expressions of political speech in uniform. Second Lieutenant Rapone’s chain of command is aware of his actions and is looking into the matter. The academy is prepared to assist the officer’s chain of command as required,” the statement continued.

    • Make him pay back the money Uncle Sam spent on his education.

      And check-out who's teaching what in our premiere military academies. Time for industrial-strength delousing.

      • According to Army Regulations he is subject to 1) Dishonerable Discharge (remove his voting rights among others) 2) High fines 3) Hard Time in Leavenworth Military Prison. I doubt he will get the first or third but he will probably get a less then honorable discharge. When I got out anything but an Honorable was the kiss of death for getting a good job.

        • Most people know very little about our military academies. One of my sons is a graduate of USNA. As an active participant in the parents club I went many times to USMA to support various sport teams or other groups from Navy.
          USMA is a cold place far away from the rest of us. Just the architecture of the place is rather forbidding and no where anyone would actually want to be.
          That is why I find it amazing that this young man, and others, managed to make it through there with their political ideology. They suffered 4 years in exile to make their point at the last minute?
          I can only think that they are mentally unbalanced. It cost one hell of a lot of bucks to train up officers through the academies. It is actually like $300,000 for the 4 years.
          There are many stops in the system where a cadet/midshipman can say stop, and walk away. I’ll tell you that as a very concerned parent I found this to be comforting because at each junction my son had the opportunity to walk away.
          These young men didn’t walk away and are kind of like suicide bombers in that they invested a huge amount of living off public good will only to blow it up. I find that to be insane and I think that not only should they receive dishonorable discharges but they should also pay back the taxpayer’s investment in them.

        • According to Army Regulations he is subject to

          1) Dishonerable Discharge (remove his voting rights among others)

          2) High fines

          3) Hard Time in Leavenworth Military Prison.

          I choose, “All of the Above”.

    Alleged cannibal Natalia Baksheeva made ‘pies’ of suspected human meat and supplied them to local restaurants, it has been claimed.

    The 42 year old and husband Dmitry Baksheev, 35, are detained amid urgent police investigations into her confession that the couple killed and ate 30 or more victims.

    Cut-up human remains were found in their fridge and freezer, and elsewhere in their home at a hostel in a military academy in Krasnodar, southern Russia.

  7. Venezuela Prepares for War With U.S. With ‘Rifles, Missiles and Well-Oiled Tanks at the Ready’

    enezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro called on his nation’s military leaders Tuesday to prepare for war against the U.S. days after the Trump administration banned Venezuelan officials from entering the nation.

    “We have been shamelessly threatened by the most criminal empire that ever existed and we have the obligation to prepare ourselves to guarantee peace,” said Maduro, who wore a green uniform and a military hat as he spoke with his army top brass during a military exercise involving tanks and missiles. “We need to have rifles, missiles and well-oiled tanks at the ready….to defend every inch of the territory if needs be,” he added.

    The Trump administration has taken a hard stance against Maduro’s regime by banning money lending to Venezuela’s government or its state oil company PDVSA, and passing sanctions against Maduro and his top officials.

      • Black Pidgeon ought to watch the interview with Otto Warmbier’s parents. He can take his nuanced approach to North Korea and join Jane Fonda and Jackass Kerry in Cannibal Heaven.

        • After I calmed down after hearing his statements I started wondering how many people agree with him? After all the only way he could have gotten so much wrong information is by 1) the Modern School system and 2) getting his news from the Propaganda Media and the blogs to the left of them (some do manage to be further left, not many but some).

  8. The Guggenheim just yanked three animal-related artworks after receiving threats

    New York’s Guggenheim Museum said it will not include three works in an upcoming exhibition after they sparked the ire of animal rights groups. The exhibition, “Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World,” included three works that critics said promoted cruelty to animals–including one called “Dogs That Cannot Touch Each Other,” which reportedly included footage of pit bulls on treadmills.

    The museum initially defended showing the works, saying it valued freedom of expression, but it said in a statement yesterday that threats of violence have forced it to reconsider out of concern for the safety of its visitors. It added that it is “dismayed” over having to basically self-censor its exhibition:

  9. Clinton Compares Trump to Putin: ‘Hopefully He Hasn’t Ordered the Killing of People and Journalists’

    Hillary Clinton said Monday on Bloomberg News that President Donald Trump has “tendencies toward authoritarianism,” adding that she hopes he has not “ordered the killing of people and journalists” as Russian President Vladimir Putin has been accused of doing.

    During a conversation with Charlie Rose, she compared Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose relationship with Trump has particularly drawn scrutiny from Democrats and the media. Clinton discussed her ideas on Trump’s view of democracy, saying she “hopes” the president is not exactly like Putin in every way.

    “I don’t think he really values democracy, Charlie,” Clinton said.

    “He doesn’t value democracy? Rose asked. “So he’s not a ‘democrat,’ little ‘d?'”

  10. Famous fake news writer found dead outside Phoenix

    PHOENIX (AP) — A leading purveyor of fake news in the 2016 presidential election has died outside Phoenix at the age of 38.

    Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Casey said Tuesday authorities discovered Paul Horner dead in his bed on Sept. 18.

    Casey said the Maricopa County medical examiner performed an autopsy which showed there were no signs of foul play. He said Horner had a history of prescription drug abuse and that “evidence at the scene suggested this could be an accidental overdose.”

  11. “General Jerry Boykin on the Rising Tensions with North Korea”
    FRC in the Media – Published on September 25, 2017

      • Gen. MacArthur: In war there is no substitute for victory.

        We have spent the entire time since WWII trying to find a substitute for victory that isn’t defeat, and failing to find anything but defeat. This is why when we hit North Korea we need to put South Korean and American boots on the ground and take all of North Korea. Never mind what they think China will do let China worry about what we are going to do. You win wars by making your enemies react to you and worry about your actions, you destroy their will to resist by massive overwhelming attacks that show they can’t hope to defeat you. When you go into a war declaring limited goals the enemy knows they can outlast you and win the war.

  12. Sex diseases in US surge to record high

    Washington (AFP) – Sexually transmitted diseases surged to a record high in the United States last year, with more than two million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis nationwide, officials said Tuesday.

    This was “the highest number ever,” said the annual Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report released today by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Most of the new cases — 1.6 million in 2016 — involved chlamydia, a bacterial infection that affects both men and women.

    Gonorrhea also increased among men and women last year, but the steepest rise was among men (22 percent), said the report.

    Nationwide, gonorrhea cases reached 470,000, with a large share of new gonorrhea cases among men who have sex with men.

    The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.

    And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

  14. COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh: Bangladesh police Wednesday arrested three Rohingya men and a Bangladeshi for trying to smuggle 800,000 methamphetamine pills into the country from Myanmar, an official said.

    The arrests come as Bangladesh struggles to deal with a massive influx of Rohingya Muslims fleeing unrest in neighbouring Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

    Officers from Bangladesh’s elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) detained the four men on a fishing trawler in the estuary of the Naf river, which divides the two countries.

    “We caught four people trafficking Yaba tablets. Three of them are Rohingya from Myanmar and the other one is a Bangladeshi,” Major Ruhul Amin, an RAB area commander, told AFP.

    “They were carrying 800,000 yaba tablets on a boat. They brought the yabas from Myanmar. Two of the Rohingyas came here recently. And the other one is an old refugee,” he added.

  15. Kim Jong Un’s Assassination of Half-Brother Meant to ‘Horrify World’

    New details are emerging about the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of the North Korean leader.

    A new report released Monday claims Kim Jong Un wanted to kill his half-brother in the most gruesome and public way possible to “horrify the rest of the world.”

    Nam was assassinated in February at the Kuala Lampur airport when two prostitutes walked behind him and wiped a lethal nerve gas on his face.

    There were reportedly two prior attempts to kill him in 2011 and 2012.

  16. Trump: military option for North Korea not preferred, but would be ‘devastating’

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump warned North Korea on Tuesday that any U.S. military option would be “devastating” for Pyongyang, but said the use of force was not Washington’s first option to deal with the country’s ballistic and nuclear weapons program.

    “We are totally prepared for the second option, not a preferred option,” Trump said at a White House news conference, referring to military force. “But if we take that option, it will be devastating, I can tell you that, devastating for North Korea. That’s called the military option. If we have to take it, we will.”

    Bellicose statements by Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in recent weeks have created fears that a miscalculation could lead to action with untold ramifications, particularly since Pyongyang conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3.

  17. SOUTHINGTON, CT (WFSB) –
    A racial and politically charged message written in the driveway of a family that is new to town has police investigating.
    The Ferguson family moved to Southington about a year ago, they have four kids, and it was a warm welcome until now.
    “My husband got up to go to work this morning and called me and said somebody has written all kinds of racial stuff on the driveway and that’s how we found it,” said Crystal Ferguson.
    The message was written in chalk on the driveway and sidewalk. It read “your ancestors were immigrants… support Trump? You are supporting the deportation of yourselves.”
    Then the culprit drew a middle finger and wrote “wake up! Bigots live here”

  18. At the U.N. last week, President Trump had harsh words for the “socialist dictatorship” that has impoverished Venezuela. He railed against “Islamist extremism” and “radical Islamic terrorism,” the former a supremacist ideology, the latter a weapon being used to mass-murder Muslims, Christians Yazidis, Jews and Hindus. He took note, too, of the threat posed by “international criminal networks” that “traffic drugs, weapons, people.”
    What may not have occurred to Mr. Trump or most of his audience: the extent to which these evils are now being combined.
    No one personifies this poisonous cocktail better than Tareck El Aissami, Venezuela’s 43-year-old vice president. Mr. El Aissami comes from a Lebanese-Syrian family with ties to Shia jihadi groups in Iraq. He also has been linked to a list of South American drug traffickers. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, he was appointed to the No. 2 government job in January by Venezuela’s dictator, President Nicolas Maduro.

    Now these guys are taking a knee? Is this for real?
    By Howard Portnoy September 27, 2017

    Last evening, Fox News Channel’s Kimberly Guilfoyle hazarded that if you asked each of the 200 NFL players who took a knee or linked arms this past Sunday what they were protesting, you might get 200 different answers. Guilfoyle’s point was that the motivation for dishonoring the flag and national anthem have become diffuse and more widely focused since the president’s remarks in Huntsville, Ala., last Friday.

    Prior to that, the protests, initiated by the now larger-than-life figure of Colin Kaepernick, were aimed at America’s men in blue, whom the half-black former San Francisco 49ers quarterback equated last June with “fugitive slave patrols.” He also clarified at that time:

  20. YE BAW KYA, Myanmar (Reuters) – Myanmar authorities displayed on Wednesday the bodies of Hindu villagers they say were killed by Muslim insurgents, victims of a surge of violence in someone else’s fight now playing their part in a propaganda war.

    Authorities found 45 Hindu villagers in mass graves in the north of Rakhine state this week, and the news has dominated Myanmar’s media coverage of a new round of violence in old strife between the state’s Buddhists and Muslims.

    The military on Wednesday flew a group of reporters from the city of Yangon to see the bodies laid out on the grass, and to hear from those who found them after information about the massacre filtered back from Hindus who have sought refuge from the violence in Bangladesh.

The bulk of the money came from 17 supporters, who put up their homes as collateral. Dr. Jumana Nagarwala has been in jail since her arrest in April. Nargarwala was originally accused of mutilating girls in Michigan, but she has since been accused of doing the procedure in three additional states.

  27. Sarsour Claims Trump Travel Restrictions Are ‘Muslim Ban 3.0’

    Islamist activist Linda Sarsour called U.S. President Donald Trump’s new travel restrictions a “Muslim Ban” even though the new restrictions include two non-Muslim countries – North Korea and Venezuela.

    Sudan, a Muslim country, was taken off the new list.

    Sarsour tweeted, “Muslim Ban 3.0. #No MuslimBanEver” and “New travel ban aka Muslim Ban 3.0 does not have an expiration date. #NoMuslimBanEver.”

    In another tweet, she decried the restrictions, saying “smh” (so much hate).

    The Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamist organization CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) is spinning the new restrictions as “just one part of the administration’s ‘ugly white supremacist agenda’” in a press release dated September 24. The group is also promoting the hashtag #NoMuslimBanEver.

    Sarsour and CAIR were peddling victimhood status way before Trump was a political commodity. In a media appearance in early 2015, Sarsour claimed Muslim children were being executed in the U.S.

    On the Rachel Maddow show, Sarsour ranted, “We come to the U.S., 22 states with anti-sharia bills trying to ban us from practicing our faith, mosque oppositions. We’re fighting, you know, zoning boards across the country. Our kids are hearing this rhetoric; we have people — mosques being vandalized, kids being executed, Islamophobia, leaders on national television saying that, you know, holy wars and these people want to take over America.”

  28. Gang Raped for Brother’s Love Marriage

    The family of a girl who was abducted and gang raped as a punishment for brother’s marriage to the woman he loved may finally see justice for the brutal crime which occurred close to nine months ago.

    Against the wishes of their parents and the village elders in an area of Pakistan called Mauza Noor Muhammad Bhangran, Fayyaz Rakha married Parveen Bibi, the woman he loved.

    As retribution, Fayyaz’s sister, Tasleem, was kidnapped at gunpoint in her home by Parveen’s father, Hakim Ali, as well as nine other male members of Parveen’s family. Tasleem was taken to a hidden location for six days and gang raped by the 10 men.

    On the seventh day, Hakim, an influential and wealthy member of the community, convened a panchayat (a local governing council) made up of other influential members of the community. The panchayat promptly declared the incident as vani, a custom in parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan where a young girl is forcibly married as a punishment for a crime committed by a male relative. (The word vani is derived from the word vanay, which means blood.)

    The panchayat then forced Tasleem’s father to agree to their decision or pay a fine of over $76,000, an impossible sum in a village in Pakistan. In addition, Tasleem was forced to marry Hakim’s nephew.

  29. Westerners: Guilty of Reading the News

    In August, the polling company YouGov conducted an opinion survey among 2,000 members of the British public. The poll, carried out in partnership with Arab News, the Saudi paper owned by a member of the Saudi royal family, was published September 25.

    As might be expected from such a publication, the questions asked of the British public, and the answers received, suited a particular line of argument: the survey evidently sought to find evidence of “Islamophobic” attitudes. It duly found that 41% of the British public polled said that Arab immigrants and refugees had not added anything to society and 55% agreed in principle with the profiling of Arabs for security reasons. The Arab News/YouGov poll also found that 72% of the British public think that “Islamophobia” is getting worse in the UK.

    Alongside this report came the surprising finding that a similar number of British people (7 in 10) believe that “the rise in Islamophobic comments by politicians and others are fuelling hate crime.”

    • Translation: The Brits are reading the news and thinking for themselves, the Saudi’s are upset with this.

      • Nope.
        They got the results intended: Poor moose-limbs! Victims of rampant Islamophobia!
        – – waaaa…. sooooo unfairrrrr – blaming us for every little thing that explodes on subways, acid that splashes in infidel faces…..

  30. Self-Described “Progressive, Mainstream” Muslim Groups in America Are Homophobic and Racist

    “Islam is a religion of peace, but you can’t have peace without justice,” said self-styled “civil rights activist” Linda Sarsour at the Muslim American Society-Islamic Circle of North America (MAS-ICNA) convention in December 2016. Sarsour, who describes herself as a “Palestinian-American feminist,” is but one example of a radical Muslim in the West who has carefully cultivated an image of herself as righteously preoccupied with liberal values and social justice — and Islamist organizations, such as MAS, ICNA and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), have tried to do the same.

    A highlight reel from the MAS-ICNA convention features author Yasmin Mogahed declaring, “We have to care about the pain and struggles of others,” as well as a prominent imam, Omar Suleiman, asking, “What have we done for the marginalized in this country?”

    In a promotional video released in 2016, the organization’s president, Azhar Azeez, boasts of “bringing a very positive impact to our communities across the nation.”

    According to Muslim feminist bloggers, however, who write regularly for the site muslimgirl.com, MAS, ICNA, and ISNA are blatantly racist. One such observer, in a piece titled “Mainstream Islamic Conferences Have a Longstanding History of Normalizing Anti-Blackness,” writes:

    The openly anti-Semitic wing of the DNC no longer has a reason to hide.
    September 27, 2017
    Caroline Glick

    Since 2015, Britain has been one election away from having an antisemitic prime minister backed by antisemitic voters. If current trends in the Democratic Party continue, in the not-so-distant future, the United States might be in the same position.

    Two years ago, Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of Britain’s main opposition Labor Party. That officially put an end to Tony Blair’s alignment of the Labor Party with the political center in Britain, both in economic and in foreign affairs.

  32. Brandeis University: Backing Hamas on Campus
    SJP defended student who called for an American intifada.
    September 27, 2017
    Sara Dogan

    Editor’s note: David Horowitz Freedom Center is naming the “Top Ten Worst Schools that Support Terrorists.” The latest school to be named to this list is Brandeis University. Known for its Jewish origins, Brandeis joins the University of California-Berkeley, the University of California-Irvine, the University of Chicago, DePaul University, and San Francisco State University on the list. Coinciding with the naming of Brandeis to this list, the Freedom Center placed posters on the Brandeis University campus exposing the links between Students for Justice in Palestine and the terrorist organization Hamas, whose stated goal is the destruction of the Jewish state.

    As revealed in recent congressional testimony, Students for Justice in Palestine is a campus front for Hamas terrorists. SJP’s propaganda activities are orchestrated and funded by a Hamas front group, American Muslims for Palestine, whose chairman is Hatem Bazian and whose principals are former officers of the Holy Land Foundation and other Islamic “charities” previously convicted of funneling money to Hamas. The report and posters are part of a larger Freedom Center campaign titled Stop University Support for Terrorists. Images of the posters that appeared at Brandeis and other campuses may be viewed at http://www.stopuniversitysupportforterrorists.org.

  33. Life With Nanny Norway
    What it’s really like to live in a social-democratic “paradise.”
    September 27, 2017
    Bruce Bawer

    For thirteen years in a row, Business Insider – citing its standard of living, health-care system, and high life expectancy – has put Norway at the top of its annual list of “best countries to live in.” The high life expectancy is an objective fact; the other items are a matter of debate. Norwegian health care? It works admirably, unless you require an operation or treatment that the government considers too expensive or for which there’s a waiting list. Standard of living? Incomes are high, but so are taxes.

    But I’m not here to argue with Business Insider’s rankings. I’m here to point out an aspect of Norwegian life that never figures on any of these “best country” lists, whether put out by Business Insider or the United Nations or whomever. I’m talking about statism – the degree to which the state is a palpable part of everyday life.

    Briefly put, Norway is pretty much statism central. I’m more accustomed to it now, but when I was first living here I was acutely aware every single day of the presence of the government in my life. I’m not talking about some abstract, theoretical phenomenon. It’s a real, palpable feeling. A feeling of being a bit less of an individual and a bit more part of a collective. An awareness that your eleven-digit “person number” (which includes your birth date) comes up a lot more often than your social-security number ever did back in the U.S. A sense of being covered by an umbrella, but also surrounded by a wall.

  34. The Jihad Against the Freedom of Speech is Advancing
    New film reveals the shocking truth of how far it has advanced.
    September 27, 2017
    Robert Spencer

    Most people don’t realize how much the freedom of speech has already been eroded. It is already taken for granted by all too many people that one must not criticize Islam, or Muhammad, or the Qur’an. Many people have internalized Sharia blasphemy norms. The wholesale condemnation of Pamela Geller, by people on the Right as well as the Left, after the jihad attack at our free speech event in Garland, Texas in May 2015 shows that far too many people do not understand the importance of the freedom of speech, and don’t have any interest in defending or preserving it.

    This is the subject of our new American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) documentary film, Can’t We Talk About This? The Islamic Jihad Against Free Speech. Can’t We Talk About This? tells the whole horrifying story of how advanced the Islamic war on free speech is, and how close leftist and Islamic authoritarians are to final victory and the death of the freedom of speech and free society.

    I helped write the film. AFDI President Pamela Geller, who produced it, explained in a statement: “In this film, we’re setting the record straight about our Garland free speech event, at which we were not only targeted by Islamic jihadis but apparently by the FBI as well. But we’re doing much more as well: we’re telling the whole, as-yet-untold truth about the war on free speech.”

  35. Bad Environmentalist Movie’s Failure Blamed on Ignorance of “Science”
    September 27, 2017
    Daniel Greenfield

    Science. The left has no idea what it is. Lefties think science is another weapon in their culture war. And if the public doesn’t go see their failed environmentalist horror movie, it’s because they hate science.

    The movie in question is Mother. It has a CinemaScore of F. Rex Reed called it the worst movie of the century. It’s a horror movie that was supposed to be a metaphor for the environment.

    Nobody got that. And even if they had, it would still be terrible.

    Mother is the work of Darren Aronofsky, who had previously defaced the biblical story of Noah with the same ecoranting.

  36. Empathy Goes Both Ways
    September 27, 2017
    Daniel Greenfield

    “America Has A Racial Demagogue As President”, is the Washington Post headline.

    Suffice it to say, he’s not talking about Obama. That would be more accurate, but instead we get the expected nostalgic dive into the same warm pool that lefty elites love to soak their feet in.

    (Richard: The next is the last paragraph in the article, read the entire article)

    It’s all racism. And it’s everywhere. Because the mythology of the left derives its legitimacy from the civil rights movement. And without the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where would they derive the right to jail people for building duck ponds on their line or fine people for refusing to participate in gay weddings?

  37. Fears that ‘taxpayer money used to fund ISIS’ most wanted’ spark demands for investigation (express, Sep 27, 2017)
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/859246/ISIS-fighter-taxpayer-money-compensation-Guantanamo-Jamal-al-Harith

    “A TERRORISM watchdog has called on the Government to investigate the possibility UK taxpayer’s money was used to fund one of the country’s most-wanted jihadi fighters.

    Jamal al-Harith, who was given a £1million compensation settlement from the Government following a two-year stint in Guantánamo Bay, has been linked to the UK’s most-wanted surviving ISIS fighter, Raymond Matimba.

    Matimba was exposed as a jihadi in a video obtained by The Telegraph which showed him with Mohammed Emazi who is better known as the sick terrorist killer Jihadi John.

    Al-Harith and Marimba were both part of a Manchester-based terror group raising fears that the out-of-court settlement was used to fund the senior ISIS figure.

    Demands for an investigation into whether the Government money was used to bankroll the terror cell has been demanded by security experts.

    Former terrorism legislation reviewer Lord Carlile said: “The revelations in The Telegraph raise questions about what has happened to the millions of pounds that was paid by the British Government in the Guantánamo cases and the only way that can sensibly be dealt with is by an independent review conducted by a High Court judge…”
