Rebels storm Indian paramilitary camp in Kashmir; 4 killed (abcnews, Oct 3, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/rebels-storm-indian-paramilitary-camp-kashmir-injured-50243361
“A group of rebels fighting Indian rule stormed a paramilitary camp near the airport in disputed Kashmir early Tuesday, in a brazen attack targeting one of the region’s most strategic and well-guarded zones that left at least four dead.
Police said the militants breached multiple layers of high security outside and inside the camp while exchanging intense gunfire with government forces for nearly nine hours.
At least three suspected militants and one border guard officer were killed, police Inspector-General Muneer Ahmed Khan told reporters in Srinagar, the region’s main city.
At least three soldiers were injured, police said.
The rebels, dressed in military uniforms, began the attack by hurling grenades and spraying automatic gunfire at the camp, which houses a battalion of India’s Border Security Force, police said. Nearby residents said they heard dozens of blasts and gunfire…”
This interesting article surprisingly leaves out mention of the Petrodollar in the equation. If the Fed now understands that the Petrodollar is on its last legs, they also know the U.S. can stick a fork in the Saudis arrangement. Given every furtive Saudi attack, mosque building in the West, cozying up to the Chinese and the Russians and all the rest, isn’t it time to kiss them and the PD goodbye? And while you still can (before your enemies can get all their strategic monetary alternatives in place) set up the next paradigm? This is THE most important task confronting the President. The amount of debt is too much. Further, the amount of debt in the shadow banking sector is north of 300 trillion. Nothing was fixed in ’08. If you don’t get in front of it now you will be so steamrolled and weakened by an involuntary reset that our enemies will go into a punitive frenzy for your 100 years of success. Keynesian voodoo must be trashed in favour of the New School of Austrian economics.

Putin Is Now Mr. Middle East
Israelis, Turks, Egyptians and Jordanians are all beating a path to the Kremlin in the hope that Vladimir Putin, the new master of the Middle East, can secure their interests and fix their problems. The latest in line is Saudi King Salman, who this week will become the first Saudi monarch to visit Moscow. Former U.S. chief Mideast peace negotiator Dennis Ross said, “Putin has succeeded in making Russia a factor in the Middle East. That’s why you see a constant stream of Middle Eastern visitors going to Moscow.”
“Washington remains the indispensable power in the region,” said Ayham Kamel, Middle East and North Africa director at Eurasia Group. But its commitment to traditional alliances is weakening, he said, and that’s encouraged regional leaders to hedge their bets.

The resentments in a person’s mind, often deeply planted in childhood, comes out as a devil-may-care to shoot, screw or silence everyone that causes them pain.
To have say, a filipino girlfriend who only sexes you for your money and then decides she is going to leave you, (not saying this is here, but like in islam, the machismo of your economic slave-girl leaving you, can tip a person to find their inner jihad).
Socialism blames nothing on islam for terrorism, but everything on lone promiscuous white males.
Why “promiscuous” white males?
“Dopamine. It’s at the core of our sexual drives and survival needs, and it motivates us to do just about everything. This mechanism within the reward center of the primitive brain has been around for millions of years and has not changed. Rats, humans—indeed, all mammals—are very similar in this respect.
Dopamine is behind a lot of the desire we associate with eating and sexual intercourse. Similarly, all addictive drugs trigger dopamine (the “craving neurochemical”) to stimulate the pleasure/reward center. So do gambling, shopping, overeating and other, seemingly unrelated, activities. Go shopping: dopamine. Smoke a cigarette: dopamine. Computer games: dopamine. Heroin: dopamine. Orgasm: dopamine. They all work somewhat differently on the brain, but all raise your dopamine.
You get a bigger blast of dopamine eating high-calorie, high-fat foods than eating low-calorie vegetables. You may believe that you love ice cream, but you really love your blast of dopamine. You’re genetically programmed to seek out high-calorie foods over others. Similarly, dopamine drives you to have sex over most other activities. With dopamine as the driving force, biology has designed you to engage in fertilization behavior to make more babies, and urges you to move on to new partners to create greater genetic variety among your offspring.
Your primitive brain accomplishes these goals of more progeny and promiscuity by manipulating your brain chemistry, and thus your desires and thoughts. High levels of dopamine increase sexual desire, encouraging you to behave recklessly. The thrill of a new affair and the rush from using pornography are examples of high dopamine. Unfortunately, consistently high levels of dopamine lead to erratic behavior and compulsions that are not conducive to survival. (See the “EXCESS” column in the chart below.)”

Catalonia independence vote: Spanish foreign minister says police violence ‘not extraordinary’
Alfonso Dastis defends the use of force by Spanish police after hundreds of people were injured in clashes across the region.
Spain’s foreign minister has claimed police violence during Catalonia’s illegal independence vote was “not extraordinary”.
Sky’s Europe Correspondent Mark Stone challenged Alfonso Dastis on tactics used by Spanish security forces as Catalan officials claimed 844 people had been injured across the region.
Stone said he had seen voters pulled out of polling stations by their hair and stamped on by police, while rubber bullets – illegal in Catalonia – were also used to disperse crowds.
Mr Dastis said: “I don’t agree with you that this is an extraordinary level of violence.
“You may think people were peacefully exercising their right to vote but the problem is this so-called referendum had been held to be illegal by the constitutional court.”

China’s Secret Military Plan: Invade Taiwan by 2020
Book based on internal documents says Beijing’s invasion plan would trigger U.S.-China conflict
China has drawn up secret military plans to take over the island of Taiwan by 2020, an action that would likely lead to a larger U.S.-China conventional or nuclear war, according to newly-disclosed internal Chinese military documents.
The secret war plan drawn up by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the Chinese Communist Party’s armed forces, calls for massive missile attacks on the island, along with a naval and air blockade that is followed by amphibious beach landing assaults using up to 400,000 troops.
The plans and operations are outlined in a new book published this week, The Chinese Invasion Threat by Ian Easton, a China affairs analyst with the Project 2049 Institute, a think tank.

Fall storm brings up to 18 inches of snow to Colorado peaks
DENVER (AP) — The National Weather Service says an early autumn storm is dropping heavy snow in the northern Colorado mountains.
The resort town of Steamboat Springs reported 18 inches (46 centimeters) Monday. Red Cliff, south of Vail, reported 14 inches (36 centimeters).
Winter Park reported nearly 10 inches (25 centimeters).
The storm prompted highway officials to close U.S. 6 over Vail Pass, the east-west route normally taken by trucks carrying hazardous materials to avoid the Eisenhower Tunnel in the mountains on Interstate 70.

France, ‘in a state of war’, to vote on anti-terrorism law
PARIS (Reuters) – France remains “in a state of war”, its interior minister said on Tuesday before lawmakers voted on an anti-terrorism bill that will increase police powers to search and restrict people’s movements but which rights groups say will hurt civil liberties.
Parliament’s lower house is expected to adopt the legislation which will boost the powers of security agencies at a time when the French authorities are struggling to deal with the threat posed by foreign jihadists and homegrown militants.
More than 240 people have been killed in France in attacks since early 2015 by assailants who pledged allegiance to or were inspired by Islamic State. In the latest attack on Sunday, a man cried Allahu Akbar — God is Greatest — before fatally stabbing two women outside the railway station in the city of Marseille.
“We are still in a state of war,” Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said in an interview on France Inter radio. “We have foiled numerous attacks since the start of the year that would have led to many deaths.”

Here are the actual federal laws regulating machine guns in the U.S.
Sean Davis, Federalist October 2, 2017
[Ed. – More stupid liberal tricks]
The horrific mass shooting of scores of people in Las Vegas on Sunday has once again re-ignited the gun control debate in the U.S. News reports indicate that the shooter, who opened fired on a crowd of concertgoers on Sunday night, killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 200. Audio recordings of the shooting, which captured rapid fire bursts, suggest that the shooter used a fully automatic weapon. The speculation that the shooter may have used fully automatic weapons set off frenzied demands that the government do something to ban these weapons and charges that the so-called gun lobby was responsible for making machine guns legal and easy to buy.

Conflating speech and violence spells the end of free expression
By Benny Huang October 3, 2017
After weeks of footdragging, the University of California at Berkeley finally allowed conservative commentator Ben Shapiro to speak on campus on Sept. 14 — albeit after charging the event organizers an unconstitutional “security fee.”
The Left’s sick attempt to deploy the heckler’s veto to silence this articulate, thoughtful man did not rule the day as it did last April when Ann Coulter was prevented from speaking on campus. Thank goodness for small victories.
Amazingly, no one died. No one was even hurt, though if someone had been hurt it would not have been Shapiro’s fault. It would have been the fault of whoever perpetrated the violence, probably one of those well-known proponents of “love” and “tolerance,” wearing a mask and swinging a club. But you wouldn’t have known how harmless the whole thing was from talking to the protesters, many of whom chanted “Speech is violence” outside the venue.

5 arrests after explosives found in chic Paris district (abcnews, Oct 3, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/arrests-explosives-found-chic-paris-district-50246005
“Five people remained in custody Tuesday after being detained by French authorities over an apparent failed bombing attempt in an apartment building in a chic Paris neighborhood.
Paris police said a neighbor alerted authorities to suspicious activity early Saturday in the building in the 16th arrondissement, or district. A judicial official said an explosive device was found and deactivated and that counterterrorism prosecutors have opened an investigation. He was not authorized to be publicly named discussing an ongoing case.
One of the suspects was under government surveillance for radicalism, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said Tuesday.
Asked to explain how someone under surveillance could carry out an attempted attack undetected, Collomb said radicals usually have “friends, networks that can carry out the act,” people who don’t show outward signs of radicalization “but are ready to help.”
He said the incident shows that the threat against France remains “extremely big.”
“Blowing up a building in a chic neighborhood of Paris — is this not a sign that no one is safe? This doesn’t happen just in suburbs in working class neighborhoods,” he said.
The failed bombing came the same weekend as a deadly stabbing in Marseille by a man who used multiple aliases. His motives are unclear, though it was claimed by the Islamic State group.
Collomb also stressed the importance of a new counterterrorism law expected to win parliamentary approval Tuesday. Critics say it tramples on individual liberties and puts France in a permanent state of emergency.
“We are still in a state of war, even if the Islamic State group has seen military defeats,” he said.”
France says knife attacker was Tunisian with Italian papers (abcnews, Oct 3, 2017)

“France’s interior minister says the man who fatally stabbed two young women in Marseille appears to be a Tunisian who had lived in Italy.
Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said on France-Inter radio Tuesday that the assailant had Italian residency and a valid Tunisian passport. The attacker was killed by soldiers after Sunday’s stabbings, which were claimed by the Islamic State group.
Collomb urged more information-sharing among governments about such cases.
The Paris prosecutor said one of the seven IDs the attacker used in previous encounters with French police was a Tunisian passport identifying him as Ahmed H.
Italian newspapers reported Tuesday that Italian anti-terrorism police are investigating whether the Marseille attacker had links to Tunisians involved in other European attacks who had stayed in the same area of Italy.”

“French authorities on Tuesday detained four people suspected of helping a man who later stabbed to death two women in the southern port city of Marseille.
In a separate case, five people remained in custody after being detained by French authorities over an apparent failed bombing attempt in an apartment building in a chic Paris neighborhood.
The two developments occurred on the same day that the lower house of the French Parliament approved by an overwhelming majority a controversial security law intended to strengthen police and intelligence capacity in fighting the extremist threat. France has seen numerous attacks in recent years, including 130 killed in Paris in November 2015.
The National Assembly passed the bill Tuesday by 415-127. It still has to go to the upper house and then return to the assembly for a final vote.
The law would make permanent some of the measures imposed as part of a state of emergency that began just after the Paris attacks. Critics say the bill infringes on individual liberties and puts the country in a permanent state of emergency.
In the Marseille probe, a judicial official said four people were detained Tuesday in the probe into Sunday’s killing of two young women at the city’s main train station. The attacker was killed by soldiers just after the stabbings, which were claimed by the Islamic State group.
The four are being held in custody on suspicion of criminal association in relation with a terrorist undertaking. Several locations were searched in the investigation.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity under internal rules, wouldn’t give more details…”
Post-mortem: VX poison killed brother of North Korean leader (abcnews, Oct 3, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pathologist-north-korean-low-enzyme-due-poisoning-50245970
“A Malaysian government pathologist testified Tuesday at the trial of two women accused of killing the estranged half brother of North Korea’s leader that the banned VX nerve agent caused his death.
His report, submitted as evidence at the trial in Malaysia’s High Court, stated that VX was found not just on Kim Jong Nam’s face and eyes but also in his blood, urine, clothing and bag. The 11-page report said an examination of Kim’s body showed damage to his organs, including part of the brain, both lungs, his liver and spleen.
Siti Aisyah of Indonesia and Doan Thi Huong of Vietnam pleaded not guilty on Monday, the trial’s first day, to killing Kim on Feb. 13 at a crowded Kuala Lumpur airport terminal. They are accused of wiping VX on Kim’s face in an assassination widely thought to have been orchestrated by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The women have said they thought they were playing a harmless prank for a hidden-camera TV show and were tricked by men suspected of being North Korean agents…”
UK plans jail sentences for streaming extremist content (abcnews, Oct 3, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/uk-plans-jail-sentences-streaming-extremist-content-50249130
“The British government says it will make streaming extremist content an offense punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Currently it’s illegal to download or store material that encourages violent attacks. But Home Secretary Amber Rudd says the law should be toughened to include “people who repeatedly view terrorist content online.”
Britain has seen five deadly attacks this year, including vehicle and knife rampages and a bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.
Rudd told the governing Conservative Party conference in Manchester on Tuesday that seven other plots had been stopped. She said tougher laws are needed because there’s been “a shift toward crude attacks” with shorter timescales.
Following a rise in criminal acid attacks, Rudd said she would ban the sale of acids to people under 18.”
Imam accused of recruiting for ISIS to be extradited to Spain, judge rules (express, Oct 3, 2017)

“A UK-based imam accused of trying to recruit people to fight for Islamic State can be extradited to Spain to stand trial, a court has ruled.
Tarik Chadlioui, 43, was one of six people arrested across Europe on June 28 at the request of investigators on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca.
The Belgian national, from Sparkhill in Birmingham, is wanted by Spanish authorities over a charge of collaboration with, or membership of, an armed group.
They allege he recorded videos encouraging people to fight for the extremist forces in Syria, during two visits to the Balearic island in 2014 and 2015.
He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.
The father-of-eight has protested his innocence during earlier hearings at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London.
The court heard claims in September that he had been an “anti-terrorist” preacher for decades and that the videos are anti-jihadist in nature.
Chadlioui, who has lived in Britain for two years, is contesting his extradition under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees a right to a family life.
He is also contesting the validity of the European Arrest Warrant…”
Iranian, Iraqi and Turkish boost military on Kurdish border in ‘dangerous escalation’ (express, Oct 3, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/861591/ww3-kurdistan-referendum-war-games-iran-iraq-turkey-independence
“A DOZEN Iranian tanks supported by artillery have been sent to the border of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region as part of a “dangerous escalation”, a Kurdistan official said.
The deployment on the Parviz Khan border was part of a joint military drill between the Iranian and Iraqi armed forces on Monday.
An official from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) security council said: “The tanks can be seen from the Kurdish side.”
He added that the move is a “dangerous escalation”.
It comes after Iraq’s Kurds voted overwhelmingly for independence in a referendum last week.
Iran’s Mehr news agency said the military exercises were a response to the Kurdish independence referendum.
The Iraqi Government has demanded that the Kurdish leadership cancels the result of the referendum, which voted in favour of independence, or face sanctions, international isolation and possible military intervention.
A senior Iranian official told Reuters anonymously: “We have always respected our borders with our neighbours and any military move will be in coordination with Baghdad and our allies.”
A small Iraqi force is also taking part in military drills with Turkey on its border.
Iran’s military chief, General Mohammad Baqeri said: “Iran and Turkey share the same stance on the referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan and both insist on the sovereignty of Iraq.
“The armed forces of both countries will increase cooperation in training and war games.”
The referendum defied the central Government in Baghdad as well as neighbouring Turkey and Iran which fear Kurdish separatism within their countries.
The KRG said it wants to use the referendum’s result to negotiate a peaceful secession of the Kurdish region through talks with Baghdad…”

Austria: Integration Law Goes into Effect
“Integration through performance”
by Soeren Kern
October 3, 2017 at 5:00 am
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11104/austria-integration-law-burqa
A groundbreaking new law regulating the integration of immigrants has gone into effect in Austria. The so-called Integration Law — which bans full-face Muslim veils in public spaces and prohibits Islamic radicals from distributing the Koran — establishes clear rules and responsibilities for recognized asylum seekers and refugees who are granted legal residence in the country.
Austrian officials say the main goal of the law is to promote respect for Austrian values, customs and culture; Muslims claim that the measure unfairly targets them and will promote “Islamophobia.”
As of October 1, anyone covering his or her face in public with a burka, niqab or mask is subject to a fine of €150 ($175). The law, which follows similar bans in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, requires the face to be completely visible in all public spaces, including bus, rail, air and sea transport. Those who refuse to comply are subject to arrest.
The new law also requires immigrants from non-EU countries to sign an “integration contract” which obligates them to learn written and spoken German and to enroll in courses about the “basic values of Austria’s legal and social order.” Immigrants are also required to “acquire knowledge of the democratic order and the basic principles derived from it.”
Refugees, Intersectionalists, and Jews

Refugees are back in the news. This summer, the number of migrants crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa is likely to rise significantly. According to the Daily Telegraph:
With the closing of the route through the Balkans and entry via Greece, most refugees, economic migrants and asylum seekers are crossing the Mediterranean into Spain or Italy, putting those countries under enormous strain. Since 2016, Austria has strengthened border police to prevent thousands more entering from Italy, and increased the number of troops and armored vehicles on the border in 2017.
The Pentagon has officially severed all ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after previously relying on the group’s training materials on extremism.
Brian J. Field, assistant U.S. attorney from the Civil Division, stated that the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity removed any and all references to the SPLC in training materials used by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), in an email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation from the Department of Justice.

The Hill Mattis: Staying in Iran deal is of US national security interest
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis on Tuesday said it is in America’s national security interest to stay in the Iran nuclear deal, even as President Trump has signaled he may pull out of the international pact.
“Do you believe it’s in our national security interest at the present time to remain in [the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action]?” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) asked Mattis during a Senate Armed Service Committee hearing.
“Yes, senator, I do,” Mattis replied.[…]
[…]Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, meanwhile, is reportedly urging Trump to certify Iran’s compliance but make changes to address U.S. concerns.

‘Nobody is safe’: French Parliament backs controversial anti-terrorism law (RT, Oct 3, 2017)
https://www.rt.com/news/405557-france-anti-terror-law/
“The French parliament has approved a new anti-terrorist bill, criticized by human rights activists as restrictive of civil liberties. Ahead of the vote, France’s interior minister Gerard Collomb said that “nobody is safe” in the country as “it is still in a state of war.”
The parliament’s lower house, the National Assembly, passed the new legislation in the first reading.
The new bill, which seeks to increase law enforcement powers in the fight against terrorism, was supported by 415 lawmakers, with 127 voting against it.
It extends the powers of the Interior Ministry, which will be able to set up security zones without the approval of a judge.
Inside the zones, the movement of people and vehicles can be restricted and searches can be conducted. Police will also be given wider powers to raid private property with judicial approval.
Electronic surveillance tags might be imposed on those regarded as a threat to national security, while officials will also have more power to close down places of worship deemed by intelligence agencies as inciting violence or justifying terrorism.
The new bill is regarded by many as a conversion into common law of emergency measures, which have been in place in France since late 2015. The state of emergency, introduced following the Paris attacks in November that year, is set to be lifted on November 9.
“The level of threat in France is extremely high,” Collomb said earlier in the day, adding that the country remains “in a state of war.”
“Those who thought… that we should loosen the capacity of our services to gather information, were mistaken because yes we are still in a state of war even if Daesh [Islamic State/IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] have experienced military defeats,” Collomb said in an interview with France Inter radio.
France’s new anti-terrorism bill expanding police powers has been criticized by human rights groups as restrictive of certain civil liberties. The minister argued “nobody is safe” in France, also referring to a recent incident in which a number of people were arrested in what appeared to be a failed bombing attempt in central Paris.”
Chess Player Banned by Iran Over Hijab Switches to U.S. (breibart, Oct 3, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2017/10/03/chess-player-banned-iran-hijab-switches-u-s/
“A young woman banned form the Iranian national chess team, allegedly for attending an international competition without wearing an Islamic headscarf, has joined the U.S. team, an Iranian news agency reported Monday.
The semi-official ISNA reported that Dorsa Derakhshani refused to wear the headscarf, known as the hijab, during a February competition in Gibraltar, and joined the U.S. national team.
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has required women to wear the hijab in public places.
However, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported Monday that the president of Iran’s chess federation, Mehrdad Pahlevanzadeh, said that Dorsa had in fact changed her national federation to the United States, which was not unusual among chess players.
Pahlevanzadeh added that she was not a member of Iran’s national chess team. “She played for Iran only one time in 2014,” he clarified.
Dorsa left Tehran and moved to Barcelona in 2015 after she received an invitation by a chess club that also supported her studies, according to ISNA.
She was awarded the titles Woman Grandmaster and International Master by the World Chess Federation in 2016.
At the February competition in Gibraltar, her brother Borna Derakhshani, also a chess player, was paired up by a computer against Israeli grandmaster Alexander Huzman. Pahlevanzadeh later announced that Borna was banned from playing for Iran, and that Dorsa was also banned for not wearing the hijab at that competition.
Iran has a policy of not competing against Israeli athletes. The country does not recognize Israel and supports anti-Israeli militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Shohreh Bayat, the general secretary of Iran’s chess federation, said Dorsa was now studying in the U.S., according to Tasnim, another semi-official Iranian news agency.
“(Dorsa) Derakhshani has not become a member of the U.S. national chess team, she just changed her federation to the United States,” Bayat said.”
Psychiatrist Warns of ‘Time Bomb’ in Germany: ‘Today’s Migrants Are Not Integrable’ (breitbart, Oct 3, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/03/psychiatrist-time-bomb-germany-migrants/
“A psychiatrist has warned that Germany faces a “time bomb” as a result of the mass migration of young men who have “crazy potential for aggression”.
“This is a time bomb,” Christian Peter Dogs said of the decision to open Germany’s borders, in an appearance on the Peter Hahne talkshow on ZDF last month, explaining that psychiatry has found people’s temperament and personality are usually fixed by the age of 12.
Stating that migrants “can’t just ‘be taught’ to understand our values”, he said that classes on how to behave in Germany were unlikely to have much effect, adding: “You have to accept that.”
“There are people who have crazy potential for aggression because they have grown up surrounded by war. They have learned to fight and don’t even know the meaning of living harmoniously,” said Dogs.
On the Peter Hahne show episode — the topic of which was “the power of fear” — the psychiatrist said the biggest mistake politicians are making now, with regards to the migrant influx, is their response to voters’ concerns on the issue.
People are “neither ‘far right’ nor anything else”, he said, noting how critics of mass migration have been pathologised as “bad” and “far right”, whilst reports of problems with regards to the newcomers’ behaviour have been suppressed.
Dogs, who directs the Max-Grundig psychosomatic clinic in Bühlerhöhe, said people are “genuinely afraid and feeling insecure”, reporting that his clinic treats a large number of people suffering from severe anxiety disorders who feel too afraid to leave their homes since the flood of migrants.
“These people feel completely betrayed by politics,” the psychiatrist said, stressing: “It is vital that politicians take citizens’ fears seriously, because fear is a natural emotion that we are pre-programmed to feel, and politicians are not supposed to lead us into danger.”
Since 2015, when more than a million migrants entered Germany at the invitation of Chancellor Angela Merkel, the government has embarked on a war against online “hate speech”, with police conducting raids on the homes of people suspected of posting comments critical of migrants to social media.
The crackdown on free speech has not been without controversy, however, with the government receiving criticism after its partnership with former Stasi informant Anetta Kahane was revealed.
Dr. Hubertus Knabe, a Stasi expert and academic who specialises in Communist political oppression, was amongst voices who slammed the government for working with Kahane, saying she was unfit to lead any task force charged with censoring speech online.”

Victim of ‘Draw Muhammad’ ISIS-inspired terror attack sues FBI, accuses James Comey of cover-up
The security guard wounded in a 2015 ISIS-inspired terrorist attack at the “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas, is suing the FBI, and argues the bureau is liable for his damages because an agent “solicited, encouraged, directed and aided members of ISIS in planning and carrying out the May 3 attack,” according to court documents filed Monday.
If the plaintiff, Bruce Joiner, doesn’t settle with the bureau, the case could shake loose hundreds of documents from both local and federal officials about what happened that day, and could answer the question of why an FBI

The New Orleans Saints made the mistake of once again disrespecting our veterans, our country and our flag. After an embarrassing opening to a game with the worst ratings in Saints’ history, the players and coaches learned that their actions have consequences.
Both the pilot and co-pilot of the Boeing 737 the Saints use to travel are combat-hardened American heroes. They flew sorties over Baghdad with Saddam’s best weapons firing back. They fought with their lives for your freedom and watched many of their friends die. Today they took a stand for those brave souls:
“We couldn’t be a party to the disrespect. We waited until we were cleared and last off the runway for the night , walked out of the cockpit, took a knee and deplaned. They’re not going anywhere until tomorrow.”
Looks like the group of thugs should have just considered themselves lucky they’re allowed to make millions for playing a game and stood with respect like they’re told to do in the league rulebook.

At entrances to the Wynn resort in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon, guards scanned visitors with metal-detector wands and inspected their bags, creating a 10-minute wait to get inside. The new security protocol, put in place after Sunday’s mass shooting nearby, is likely to become the norm on the Strip and possibly beyond.

A now-indicted IT aide to various House Democrats was sending money and gifts to government officials in Pakistan and received protection from the Pakistani police, multiple relatives claim.
A Democratic aide also said Imran Awan personally bragged to him that he could have people tortured in Pakistan. Awan’s lawyer acknowledged that he was sending money to a member of the Faisalabad police department, but said there was a good explanation.
The relatives said Awan and his brothers were also sending IT equipment, such as iPhones, to the country during the same period in which fraudulent purchase orders for that equipment were allegedly placed in the House, and in which congressional equipment apparently went missing.

Vegas Atrocity As Political Opportunity
In a rotten country, the victims got what they deserved – according to the Left.
October 3, 2017
Matthew Vadum
The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history has been cravenly transformed into anti-American propaganda by the Left, as Democrat commentators race to ghoulishly savage white men, gun rights and the NRA, Republicans, and President Trump, blaming them for what otherwise looks like a Muslim terrorist atrocity.
The president described the attack as “an act of pure evil.”
Nowadays there should be a working assumption – or perhaps a rebuttable presumption is a better way of putting it – that when a terrorist-style attack like this happens, jihadists are behind it either directly or indirectly. It is important to note that videos produced by Islamic State (also called ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh), specifically show the Las Vegas Strip, presenting the area as a prospective terrorist target.
The rat-a-tat-tat of machine gun fire rang out while country music performer Jason Aldean was on stage on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night singing at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the massacre that was carried out several football fields away from a two-bedroom suite on the 32nd floor of MGM’s Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino by 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, who killed himself before police could apprehend him.
