UK -Qatar Airways passenger facing jail for writing ‘death to Allah’ on plane armrest
A Qatar Airways passenger who scrawled “death to Allah” on his armrest because he was unhappy with business class service is facing jail.
Joseph Breslin, 36, wrote the words after becoming “tired and irritated” on a flight into Heathrow Airport.
He then wrote an Islamophobic note on a napkin attacking Muslims wearing headscarves, dropping it between two passengers after the plane landed.
Isleworth crown court heard Breslin, who runs a pub in south London, targeted the pair because he believed one had been deliberately spraying perfume to annoy him.
“He was in the business class section and was complaining throughout the flight”, said prosecutor Bill McGivern. “As the plane was coming to land, one of the crew noticed him scribbling on the armrest of the seat.
“He then left his seat and went between two other passengers, leaving a note which was very derogatory towards people who wear headscarves and it said ‘death to Allah’.”
Mr McGivern said the note, in English, was translated to the passengers, who were left “frightened and terrified”. He added: “They had been travelling to this country and had this effectively thrust under their noses.” Complaints were made to staff and he was arrested as he got off the plane on July 8. Jeremy Wainwright, mitigating, said the incident was out of character: “He had become irritated by his fellow passengers, he felt in particular they appeared to have an attitude towards him.
“The last in question had been spraying perfume around, and he had perceived it was aimed at insulting him.
“The words on the armrest related to the plane service generally, and the fact he had become tired and irritated and that was directed at the airline.”
Breslin, from Bromley, pleaded guilty to two charges of religiously aggravated harassment and a count of religiously aggravated criminal damage.
Judge Annabel Darlow QC freed him on bail until sentencing on October 31, but warned him a prison sentence was likely. Asking for a report from the probation service, she said: “Nothing has been said which sheds any light on why Mr Breslin chose to behave in this extraordinarily offensive and unpleasant way.”

See how cowardly the Britons are yet? Their Citizens have no free speech.
In the same UK newspaper:
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/muslim-patrol-enforcer-told-he-will-not-have-9000-returned-a3645871.html
“A judge has ruled £9,000 belonging to a “self-appointed” Muslim patrol enforcer should not be returned because he intended to use it to fund terrorism.
Michael Coe, 36, knocked out a 16-year-old boy after spotting him hugging his girlfriend near Upton Park Tube station in East Ham.
Coe, who once acted as a bodyguard for hate preacher Anjem Choudary, was jailed for two years and four months last December for the assault.”
I did not read, “religiously aggravated harassment and a count of religiously aggravated criminal damage.” This law appears to only be to protect bad religions with bad ideas.
This muslim only got nailed on terrorism laws and not for the Hate Crime of hating kufar. Not for his opinion, but for his actual crimes committed.
Because if muslims were jailed for Hate Crimes, they would not be housed together nor given the religion that fuels them.
For the crime of graffiti, and a difference of opinion, the threat of prison. Or as they say, Sharia.

ISIS OBLITERATED: Iraq retakes jihadis’ last stronghold as ‘final assault’ begins (express, Oct 5, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/862553/ISIS-news-Iraqi-forces-Hawija-terror-latest-Iraq-jihadis
“IRAQI forces have recaptured the Iraqi town of Hawija, one of the last strongholds of Islamic State (ISIS).
The US-backed army began moving on Hawija two days after capturing the Rashad air base, located 20 miles to the south and used by the militants as a training camp and logistics site.
The recapture leaves just one area of the country still under the control by the depraved militant group, which is a stretch of land along the Syrian border, in western Iraq, including the border town of al-Qaim.
The country’ military said they had killed 196 ISIS militants and recaptured 98 villages.
The offensive on Hawija was carried out by U.S.-backed Iraqi government troops and Iranian-trained and armed Shi’ite paramilitary groups known as Popular Mobilisation.
The operation’s commander, Lieutenant General Abdel Amir Yarallah, said troops, police and paramilitaries had “liberated the whole of the centre of Hawija and are continuing their advance”.
ISIS’s self-declared “caliphate” effectively collapsed in July, when US-backed Iraqi forces captured Mosul, the group’s de facto capital in Iraq, after a gruelling nine-month battle.
The militants’ leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who declared the caliphate from Mosul in mid-2014, released an audio recording last week that indicated he was alive, after several reports he had been killed.
He called on his followers to keep up the fight despite the setbacks.
Iraq launched an offensive on September 21 to dislodge the terror group from the area north of Baghdad where up to 78,000 people were estimated to be trapped.
The militants continue to control the border town of al-Qaim and the region surrounding it.
They also hold parts of Syrian side of the border, but the area under their control is shrinking as they retreat in the face of two different sets of hostile forces – a US-backed, Kurdish-led coalition and Syrian government troops with foreign Shi’ite militias backed by Iran and Russia.”

Italy teachers, lawmakers protest to demand citizenship law /abcnews, Oct 5., 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/italy-teachers-lawmakers-protest-demand-citizenship-law-50297040
“The politically fraught debate in Italy over whether to accelerate citizenship for children of immigrants has taken new urgency with a petition and hunger strike launched by teachers demanding equal rights for their students.
On Thursday, Infrastructure Minister Graziano Delrio joined the hunger strike to demand parliament take up the legislation, which stalled after the ruling Democrats realized their needed allies wouldn’t back it.
Hundreds of teachers launched the hunger strike Tuesday to mark the anniversary of a deadly 2013 migrant shipwreck off Lampedusa that marked a turning point in Europe’s migration saga.
Their online petition denounces the “paradox of having to educate students in citizenship and constitution … knowing well that many will never have either citizenship or the right to vote.””

“Turkish authorities have arrested a U.S. Consulate employee in Istanbul over his alleged links to a movement led by U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, Turkey’s state-run news agency reported. The U.S. Embassy said Thursday it believes the allegations against the staff member are “wholly without merit.”
Anadolu Agency said the man, a Turkish citizen identified by the initials M.T., was ordered arrested by a court in Istanbul late Wednesday on charges of espionage and attempts to “destroy” the constitutional order and Turkey’s government.
The man is accused of ties to a former prosecutor and four former police chiefs who are being prosecuted for leading a corruption probe in 2013, which the government says was orchestrated by Gulen’s movement in a bid to topple it.
Gulen is also accused of masterminding last year’s failed coup. Gulen denies the accusations…”

“Riyadh has agreed to purchase S-400 air defense missile system from Russia, according to Saudi television station al-Arabiya. The deal was reportedly reached on the sidelines of the visit by Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to Moscow.
A memorandum of understanding has been reportedly signed to help the kingdom develop its own defense industries.
The Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has already said Riyadh was showing interest in buying Russian missile systems.
“There is some interest, of course. Talks on S-400 are in progress, but there are no final decisions yet,” he said today, adding that confidential negotiations on military-technical cooperation were being held.
The S-400 is Russia’s most advanced long-range anti-aircraft missile system and can carry three types of warheads designed to destroy targets including ballistic and cruise missiles.
The system is able to track and engage up to 300 targets to an altitude of 27 kilometers at the same time.
The deal is a potential coup for Russia. Saudi Arabia has traditionally purchased defense equipment from the United States…”

After Twitter Ban UKIP London MEP Hits Back: ‘Suspended Because I said Islam Is Death Cult… Well It Still Is’ (breitbart, Oct 5, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/04/afttwitter-ban-ukip-london-mep-hits-back-suspended-islam-death-cult/
London UKIP MEP Gerard Batten has gone on the offensive after a week’s ban from micro-blogging site Twitter for calling Islam a “death cult”, doubling down on his original remarks.
An outspoken critic of radical Islam, Batten was banned on the 26th by Twitter after he wrote about Muslims being the greatest threat to other Muslims because of a long history of internecine sectarian violence.
The tweet for which he was banned was in response to another Twitter user and read: “Muslims kill each other for being the wrong kind of Muslim more than they kill infidels. It’s a death cult.”
Speaking to Breitbart London during the UKIP conference during his ban, Batten said he had written to Twitter to explain his remarks and demand his account be reinstated, but that he had received no response.
In his first tweet after seeing the ban lifted, Batten was unapologetic, doubling down on his previous remarks and stating: “My twitter account was suspended recently because I said ‘Islam was a death cult’. Well I am back now, and Islam is still a death cult.”
Making his point more fully in the letter to Twitter seen by Breitbart London, Batten explained: “What I have said regarding ‘Muslims killing other Muslims more than they kill Infidels’ is merely a matter of accepted fact… exemplified by the Shia v Sunni conflict for the last 1,400 years, and many other internal Islamic feuds.”
“Regarding my statement that Islam is a ‘death cult’, this is a matter of my opinion, and one shared by many others, and it is based on my interpretation of the Koran and historical facts over the last 1,400 years. It is fair comment.”
Batten also pointed out the account which had reported his to the site’s administrators appeared to be a bot account creating vast amounts of tweets — “19,000 since last July” — and operating with the purpose of “identifying, complaining about, and removing postings it does not approve of”.
While the original Tweet had been deleted in the course of getting his account back, Batten emphasised to Breitbart London this week that his latest tweets showed he had not withdrawn the statement. Noting the latest tweet had been viewed hundreds of thousands of times and had netted him over 2,000 new followers in just 24 hours, Batten remarked: “it just goes to show people are paying attention.”
Hitting out at Twitter’s policies and reffering to his appearance on BBC’s Newsnight programme in which he discused his view on Islam, Batten told Breitbart London: “They’ve suspended me for something I’ve said on national TV… why would they censor something that’s been on the BBC?”
The action to temporarily ban the London Member of the European Parliament is only the latest in a line of outspoken critics of Islam silenced on the platform in recent months. Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam was suspended in July, just days after he announced the forthcoming publication of his new book No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You…”
“An outspoken critic of radical Islam, Batten was banned on the 26th by Twitter after he wrote about Muslims being the greatest threat to other Muslims because of a long history of internecine sectarian violence.”
String him up, boys. Can’t have anyone sayin’ that about the emperor’s new clothes.
Man Arrested Near Marseille with Kalashnikov Rifle, Ammunition, Rocket-Launcher (breitbart, Oct 5, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/05/man-arrested-marseille-kalashnikov-rifle-ammunition-rocket-launcher/
“An arsenal of weapons including an anti-tank rocket launcher with a rocket, a Kalashnikov-type rifle, and ammunition were seized by police near Marseille, France, on Monday.
The find came through what has been described as a routine traffic stop at a police roadblock in Port-de-Bouc, a western suburb of the southern French port city. After pulling over a vehicle, a couple in their twenties were found along with a selection of weapons including a military rocket launcher which was armed ready with a rocket, plus a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition for it.
Both of the individuals inside the vehicle were arrested. The 25-year-old male driver is known to the authorities, reports L’Express, who states he has a previous record for “petty offences” and is a “delinquent”, but has no known links to jihadism.
The man is also known to police for domestic violence against his partner, who he was arrested with, and was under an order to not be in her company…”

U.S. Border Crossings Are Fewer, Riskier and More Expensive
Trump administration’s hard line, longer-term trends are suppressing numbers of those trying to illegally cross border with Mexico
SAN YSIDRO, Calif.—The final few hundred yards of the journey into the U.S. for a group of 23 Chinese immigrants was a crawl through a cramped tunnel from Mexico. They emerged in the U.S. in late August from a two-foot-wide, weed-obscured hole, just beyond a U.S. border fence here.
There the trip came to an abrupt end.
U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested the 21 men and two women, along with seven others from Mexico, and they now face deportation after being turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Though would-be immigrants from all over the world have long been caught trying to illegally cross the U.S. border, migrants are now making riskier journeys. The Chinese group’s use of a transborder tunnel, for instance, was unusual, border officials said, with such labor-intensive conduits previously reserved for high-profit drug loads

Spanish king’s authority at stake in Catalonia
Madrid (AFP) – It was a king’s speech that left many Catalans dismayed — no mention of those hurt in police violence when they tried to vote in a banned weekend independence referendum, no mention of dialogue.
Instead, Spain’s King Felipe VI sided squarely with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s government on Tuesday evening as he addressed the nation over an escalating crisis between Catalan separatist leaders and Madrid.

Catalan Vote Inspires Brazil’s Southern Separatist Movement
Inspired by the separatist vote in Catalonia, secessionists in three wealthy southern Brazilian states are redoubling their efforts to break away from the crisis-battered nation.
Residents of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Parana states are being called to vote in an informal plebiscite on Oct. 7 on whether they want independence. Organizers are also urging residents of the three states to sign a legislative proposal for each of their regional assemblies that would call for a formal, binding referendum. The non-profit group “The South is My Country” aims to mobilize a million voters in 900 out of the region’s 1,191 cities.

CIA Official Predicts North Korean Provocation on Columbus Day
The things Kim Jong Un used to fear most about China and the U.S. are no longer a concern, the CIA Korea Mission Center’s Yong Suk Lee says.
A top CIA official for the Korean Peninsula warned Wednesday that the U.S. should be ready for a new provocation by North Korea on Columbus Day on Oct. 9, which coincides with the anniversary of the founding of the political party that governs in Pyongyang.
“Stand by your phones,” Yong Suk Lee, deputy assistant director of the CIA’s Korea Mission Center, said while speaking at a conference organized by the agency at The George Washington University.

Has North Korea WON? Japan admits Kim Jong-un’s missiles WILL NOT be shot down
JAPAN has admitted it will do nothing to stop North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong-un firing missiles over its territory.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/649730/japan-north-korea-missiles-shoot-down-kim-jong-un-itsunori-onodera
One of the rockets was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) fired towards the US territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
On both occasions Japan did not attempt to shoot down the missiles despite sparking mass evacuations across the nation.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has branded North Korea an “unprecedented threat” to the country’s security.
But today minister of defence Itsunori Onodera said neither missile launch posed any threat to Japanese territory.
“JAPAN has admitted it will do nothing to stop North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong-un firing missiles over its territory.”
IDIOTS! Better to stay silent than to make such an admission.
NKorean workers prep seafood going to US stores, restaurants
HUNCHUN, China (AP) — The workers wake up each morning on metal bunk beds in fluorescent-lit Chinese dormitories, North Koreans outsourced by their government to process seafood that ends up in American stores and homes.
Privacy is forbidden. They cannot leave their compounds without permission. They must take the few steps to the factories in pairs or groups, with North Korean minders ensuring no one strays. They have no access to telephones or email. And they are paid a fraction of their salaries, while the rest — as much as 70 percent — is taken by North Korea’s government.
This means Americans buying salmon for dinner at Walmart or ALDI may inadvertently have subsidized the North Korean government as it builds its nuclear weapons program, an AP investigation has found. Their purchases may also have supported what the United States calls “modern day slavery” — even if the jobs are highly coveted by North Koreans.
At a time when North Korea faces sanctions on many exports, the government is sending tens of thousands of workers worldwide, bringing in revenue estimated at anywhere from $200 million to $500 million a year. That could account for a sizable portion of North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs, which South Korea says have cost more than $1 billion.

Thank you, Richard. I attempted to post this article but got stalled by this site’s firewall.
This is just one more reason for the USA to impose a moratorium on Chinese goods.
We are
feeding the mouthcrossing the palm that bites us.The firewall gets picky at times.
Yes we need to stop all trade with China ASAP, they aren’t doing anything besides running their mouths about stopping Kim.
The thing that pisses me off the most about this crisis is the retired military officers who know that even in our weakened state we can take both North Korea and China with their corrupt military. We should have taken them in the 1950s but Truman didn’t have guts enough to take them then, now we are being forced into the position where we have to.
Imagine if America’s 1940s State Department had managed to hire someone who spoke fluent Japanese and, just maybe, had lived in Japan for several years. The entire WWII Pacific Theater might have been avoided.
Now, imagine if Japan had retained Manchuria. Mao’s @ss would have been kicked from here to next Tuesday.
This entire Red China / Nork fiasco is a classic example of “pay me now or pay me later”. The only thing that changes is the butcher’s bill.
We would have had to fight Japan no matter what, they wanted to own the entire Orient, all of the Island Nations (Including the Philippines) and would have ended up fighting Britain and the Commonwealth Nations in the Pacific. It might have been 49 to 51 when we fought them but we would have fought them.
Assuming Germany didn’t drop a nuke or two on us to force our surrender.
Yours is not an unconvincing argument. I just continue to wonder what might have happened if America and Japan could have (however dubiously) allied to quash Mao. Imagine the tens of millions of lives saved.
Again, sadly, the Imperial Japanese forces might not have done much better than Mao at any point. As if the Rape of Nanking was any high point.
Nevertheless, I continue to insist that the “entire Red China / Nork fiasco is a classic example of “pay me now or pay me later.” I’m confident that you refuse to argue.
Venezuela raises possibility of Russian military help to counter US

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Wednesday raised the possibility of getting military support from Russia to boost its defensive capabilities after President Donald Trump threatened to use force against the South American nation.
Speaking at an energy forum in Moscow, Maduro said his administration will discuss increased military cooperation with the Russian government during his visit this week.
“I am sure, even if we do not ask, we will be given even more support to boost Venezuela’s defense capacity and sovereignty,” Maduro said.

Special Counsel Mueller Probe to Include Debunked Russia Dossier
The special counsel investigating Russia’s alleged involvement in the 2016 election is now processing the widely debunked dossier released by a former British spy earlier this year.
A report by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele was being handled by the FBI, but will now be included as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
The information in the dossier was proven false at the time it surfaced, and it Is unclear what part it will play — if any– in Mueller’s ongoing investigation.
The British agent in question has declined the Senate Intelligence Committee’s request for an interview.
Meanwhile, former acting Attorney General Sally Yates says it will be difficult for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to prove any criminal conduct in his probe investigating alleged Russian meddling.
At a speaking event in New York, Yates says she is confident in Mueller, but he will have a hard time proving crimes were committed beyond a reasonable doubt.
Yates was fired by President Trump back in January after she said the DOJ wouldn not defend the president’s executive order involving travel.

Catalan leader says not afraid of arrest over independence
MADRID (Reuters) – The leader of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, said he was not afraid of being arrested for organizing a banned referendum on the region’s independence from Spain, which went ahead on Sunday despite Madrid using force to try to stop people voting.
Spanish riot police used truncheons and rubber bullets on voters, drawing worldwide criticism and tipping Spain into its biggest constitutional crisis in decades.
Puigdemont’s government is to ask the regional parliament on Monday to declare independence, after his officials released preliminary referendum results showing 90 percent support in favor of breaking away.
Turnout was only about 43 percent as Catalans who favor remaining part of Spain mainly boycotted the ballot.

Saudi Arabia agrees to buy Russian s-400 air defense system: Arabiya TV
RIYADH (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia has agreed to buy Russian S-400 air defense system, Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television reported on Thursday, on the sidelines of a visit by Saudi King Salman to Moscow.
The Dubai-based television channel also said that Saudi Arabia had signed a memorandum of understanding to help the kingdom in its efforts to develop its own military industries.

This is a relatively tectonic shift in arms policy with respect to the Magic Kingdom.
Typically, the Saudis have almost exclusively purchased Western armaments.
What’s next? Acquiring Merkava battle tanks?
I think they are trying to force Trump to stop the pumping of internal oil, they want us to be dependent on them and we are refusing to play their game. The problem they have is that after the damage that Obama did to us in the Middle East shifting to being a client state of Russia isn’t much of a threat. Although it does have a chance of creating a small to medium sized gap in the Russia Iran alliance.
The thing is, Russia’s drowning in oil. Saudi petroleum exports pretty much mean squat to Putin. Puny arms purchases may represent some much-needed hard currency but they’re a drop in the bucket in overall terms.
“Although it does have a chance of creating a small to medium sized gap in the Russia Iran alliance.”
Where does playing both sides of the street get Putin? He, above most other people, should know damn well that Muslims are the most thankless SOBs on earth. Russia is so heavily invested in Syria and Iran that antagonizing their Shiite clients won’t play well in
PeoriaTehran.While wedge politics might seem like a good investment in terms of squeezing out America in the Muddle East, Moscow is going to learn the hard way that dallying with Islam is a good way to get screwed.
You’d think that this lesson was learned in Beslan.
Sucks Saudi away from us. I think Trump is smart enough to see through what Saudi is doing and won’t budge from our current position towards Saudi and drilling inside the US.
“I think Trump is smart enough to see through what Saudi is doing and won’t budge from our current position towards Saudi and drilling inside the US.”

Lawyer for Wasserman Schultz IT aide says Dem Reps ordered falsification of office spending records
By LU Staff October 5, 2017
House Democrats ordered the systematic falsification of records showing how they spend their taxpayer-provided office budgets, according to lawyers for two former House information technology (IT) aides.
It’s a remarkable accusation that pits sitting lawmakers against the former aides, Imran Awan, his brothers Abid and Jamal, and his wife Hina Alvi. Imran was arrested in July while trying to board a flight to Pakistan, and then indicted on four counts of bank fraud involving moving money to that country. Imran and Hina, who was also indicted, face a court date Friday.
One of Imran’s lawyers, Aaron Page, acknowledged the invoicing discrepancy Aug. 21, telling The Daily Caller News Foundation, “This is just how things have been done for forever. This is what experienced members of Congress expect: to expedite things, they adjust the pricing.”

St. Louis protesters tried to block a freeway. It did not go well
By LU Staff October 4, 2017
St. Louis police arrested more than 120 protesters blocking a highway Tuesday night as the city entered its third straight week of protests surrounding a former officer’s acquittal for murder charges.
While police did not release the number of people arrested, a city alderman told reporters that at least 126 had been taken into custody, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Police warned drivers of the protest at 7:40 p.m. CDT and had cleared the freeway of protesters soon after 8 p.m. Police corralled the group off the road, ordered them to the ground and began systematically handcuffing them and putting them in vans for transport.
Bruce Franks Jr., a Missouri state congressman who has participated in several protests, seems to have been among those arrested.

Italy: ‘The situation has become intolerable’ – Torch-bearing protesters rally against mosque
Dozens of CasaPound Italia protesters rallied against an ‘unauthorised’ Mosque in the Esquilino area of Rome on Wednesday, claiming that its members are dealing drugs and committing homophobic attacks.
SOT, Flower kiosk owner in the area (Italian): “They throw used syringes at us, they’re used to do literally anything they want. That’s enough, that’s enough! We are tired! We are scared when coming back home, I’m even scared when I stay here at my kiosk, my sons can’t stand it anymore, that’s enough! Enough with this filthy government!”
SOT Davide di Stefano, Casapound Italia Spokesperson (Italian): “There’s a problem with the unauthorised Mosque where we marched before. [It’s] the same place where one week ago, a couple has been attacked by a drunken immigrant from Mali or Malaysia – this isn’t still clear – because they were guilty of kissing each other in front of the Mosque. The situation in that alley has become intolerable. Outside the Mosque there are even two groups of pushers, one made up of Africans and another one of Filipinos.”

At campus event, Black Lives Matter attacks liberalism of ACLU as ‘white supremacy’
By LU Staff October 4, 2017
The College of William & Mary students associated with Black Lives Matter shut down a campus event on free speech last week, as they declared that liberalism is “white supremacy.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sponsored an event on the William and Mary campus to talk to students about the First Amendment with another organization, reports Flat Hat News.
Students prevented Claire Guthrie Gastañaga, the ACLU’s Virginia executive director, from speaking as they began chanting almost five minutes into her talk. Gastañaga tried to adapt to the situation, but students kept shouting chants like “the oppressed are not impressed,” “shame, shame, shame, shame,” and “liberalism is white supremacy.”

There is a video at the site.
The black communists are starting to turn on the white communists, when will BLM and antifa start open battles?
“Black Lives Matter attacks liberalism of ACLU as ‘white supremacy’”
Always nice to see the Liberals cannibalize themselves. These “purity tests” cannot come soon enough.
Inter-mural violence on the left is a nice spectator sport. What I want to know is when will they start trying to take out the leaders of the opposite group?
“What I want to know is when will they start trying to take out the leaders of the opposite group?”
Patience, laddy. Patience. Give things a chance to work themselves out. Remember, the Liberals don’t have much in the way of truly functional problem-solving tools. As in, “When all they’ve got is a hammer … everything around them starts to look like nails.”
Antifa is a pluperfect example of this. Notice how they don’t have any public persona to present to the media? (Not that the media isn’t carrying their water 24/7.)
They haven’t chosen their new leader yet, the old ones keep refusing to leave the stage.
“They haven’t chosen their new leader yet, the old ones keep refusing to leave the stage.”
And … you’re saying that Hillary is truly inspirational?
Fear not. The Left has allied themselves with individuals of the most dubious character (or lack thereof).
Again, let all of us look forward to the remote chance that insane Liberals (redundant, I know) will continue in this lunatic path of theirs. It will lead to their annihilation and it is up to us to ensure that this moronic, destructive instinct of theirs, somehow, manages to exclude those of us who fire on all eight cylinders.
Undercover video catches Antifa plotting violence; media ignores
By Onan Coca October 4, 2017
Steven Crowder is being forced to do the work that the MSM refuses to do.
Think about that folks. “Real” journalism in our day and age is being done not by actual newspapers or news outlets, but by intrepid journalists with varied backgrounds…like an Internet comedian.
What does that say about the media in America today? That we need men like Steven Crowder, or any of hundreds of other small-time bloggers and concerned citizens, doing the work that professional journalists have just stopped doing, is a sad commentary on the state of our media.
While Crowder’s work uncovers the ugly violence being planned by members of Antifa, the real story here is that when the media was informed of this disgusting behavior…they turned their backs and pretended the evidence didn’t exist.
Crowder begins by explaining that his team has long been working on infiltrating, Antifa and the group has become popular by leaning on the help of other more mainstream members of the left. However, the reality is that Antifa has always been in the business of plotting violence and planning for the overthrow of the rule of law.

USA: 8-year-old Syrian refugee presents debut book
Eight-year-old Bana al-Abed presented her book of memoirs,
” What Happened”‘Dear World’, at a book signing event in Manhattan, New York on Wednesday.The book is written from Bana’s personal experiences of living in war-torn Aleppo, including the destruction of her family home during an airstrike.
A fan who attended the presentation declared the need for Bana’s book and said that although “50 per cent of the refugees are women and children,” it is “government leaders, or organisational leaders, or men, who speak on behalf of all of these voices.”

WaPo – Southwest said she was removed from the plane over dog allergies. She has a very different story.
A viral video that ricocheted worldwide last month may not be what it seemed, according to the woman shown being dragged off a Southwest Airlines flight in Baltimore.
Southwest Airlines says the woman had complained about two dogs aboard the Los Angeles-bound aircraft on Sept. 26, stating that she had a life-threatening pet allergy. But the woman could not provide a medical certificate, without which the airline can deny a passenger boarding, it said.
What ensued was a scene that has become all too familiar in air travel.
The passenger refused requests to deplane, and law enforcement officers were called in to remove her from the flight.
The video shows the officers pulling her out of her seat. She screams at them, telling them, “Don’t touch me.” She is dragged down the aisle. She was later arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order, disturbing the peace, obstructing and hindering a police officer, and resisting arrest.
That is one version of the events aboard the Southwest flight.
The woman, Anila Daulatzai, 46, has a very different account.
Daulatzai said she was traveling to see her elderly father, who was undergoing surgery. She told “Good Morning America” on Thursday that when she boarded the plane, “the first thing I asked the flight attendant was, ‘How many dogs are going to be on this plane?’”
But, she said, she never told airline personnel that her allergy was a life-threatening condition.
“I said, ‘It’s not life-threatening at all,’” she said.
Still, Daulatzai said, crew members continued to press her about her allergy and were uncomfortable with her on the plane.
“They just didn’t trust me,” she told the ABC News show, breaking her silence a week after video of the incident went viral. “I was a brown woman with a hoodie.”
Daulatzai added that she’s two months pregnant.
Daulatzai, a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, alleges that she never asked for the dogs to be removed from the plane, never claimed to have life-threatening allergies and was never asked for medical certification.
She was forced off the plane, she alleges, because of who she is: a woman of color and of the Islamic faith.
In a statement released Wednesday, Daulatzai’s attorneys charged that she was “profiled, abused, interrogated, detained, and subjected to false reporting and the trauma of racist, vitriolic public shaming precisely because she is a woman, a person of color, and a Muslim.”
“She survived sexism, racial profiling, and police brutality that fateful day,” reads the statement from Hall & Sethi, a law firm based in Reston, Va., that specializes in cases of personal injury. “Her mistreatment was particularly distressing because she is presently pregnant with her first child.”
Daulatzai had discussed her non-life-threatening dog allergies with Southwest crew members soon after boarding the aircraft, her attorneys say. But shortly after she had taken a seat at a safe distance from the dogs toward the back of the plane, a Southwest representative approached her, asking her to leave the plane. Despite assuring flight crew that she would be completely fine on the plane, her attorneys allege, Daulatzai was “pulled from her seat by her belt loop” and “dragged .?.?. through the aisle exposed with torn pants.”
Daulatzai’s attorneys say the charges filed against her “have no merit.”
Bill Dumas, the passenger who recorded the incident and uploaded it to YouTube, told NBC News that although the police were being “overly aggressive,” Daulatzai was combative and “wasn’t giving [the officers] much of a choice.”
In a statement to The Washington Post, the Maryland Transportation Authority Police said that “despite her clear attempt to resist a law enforcement officer, Ms. Daulatzai was professionally removed from the aircraft within the guidelines of the MDTA Police. This remains an open case that will be handled in the appropriate venue, not through various media channels.”
Since the incident, Daulatzai has received hate mail and violent threats and has had to leave her home out of fear for her safety, her attorneys said. They did not respond to emailed questions about next steps in the proceedings.
Reached for comment on the attorneys’ statement, Southwest repeated its response from last week that it is “disheartened by the way this situation unfolded and the customer’s removal by local law enforcement officers.”
The airline noted that it has “publicly apologized to this customer for her experience and made several attempts to contact her directly to address her concerns.”
This latest episode is just another in the seemingly endless stream of airline-passenger meltdowns. Other nightmarish incidents in recent months include the man who was violently dragged off a United Airlines plane in April, leaving him battered and limp, and the infant-carrying easyJet passenger who was punched in the face by an airport employee in July.

Amnesty: Europe returning more Afghans despite violence (abcnews, Oct 5, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/amnesty-europe-returning-afghans-violence-50293622
“European countries are returning many more Afghan asylum seekers to their homeland even as violence in the war-torn country escalates, Amnesty International said in a new report Thursday.
The rights group says Europe’s governments remain willfully blind to the dangers faced by the returnees and with the European Union are pressuring Afghanistan tremendously to accept the large numbers of returnees.
From 2015 to 2016, the number of Afghan citizens returned to their native country from Europe nearly tripled from 3,290 to 9,460, according to Amnesty’s report, citing EU statistics.
Meanwhile, civilian casualties remained high, with, 11,418 people killed or injured in 2016, according to the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. That’s up from 11,002 civilian casualties in 2015, according to UNAMA.
Amnesty called for a moratorium on Afghan returns until they can take place with “safety and dignity.”
“In their determination to increase the number of deportations, European governments are implementing a policy that is reckless and unlawful,” Anna Shea, Amnesty International’s researcher on refugee and migrant rights, said in a statement. “Willfully blind to the evidence that violence is at a record high and no part of Afghanistan is safe, they are putting people at risk of torture, kidnapping, death and other horrors.”
This report is based on desk and field research conducted between May and September 2017 and documented a total of 26 cases.
Afghanistan has suffered four decades of violent conflict and 16 years of war that began with the U.S. invasion in 2001 to target the instigators of the 9/11 attacks. Ordinary Afghans are frustrated by the relentless violence as well as the failures to keep them secure or achieve peace.
Intelligence service reports say at least 20 militant groups, including the Taliban and Islamic State group affiliates, operate in Afghanistan, mostly in border areas near Pakistan.
Between 2009 and 2016, UNAMA calculates that nearly 25,000 civilians were killed and more than 45,000 wounded.
The violence and deteriorating security has persisted this year.
In August, militants stormed a packed Shiite mosque in Kabul during Friday prayers, ending with at least 20 worshippers killed and another 50 seriously wounded. On May 31, in one of the largest attacks in Kabul’s history, more than 150 people were killed and twice as many injured when a bomb exploded near several European embassies, in one of the best-protected districts of the capital.
Many Afghans who leave the country to seek asylum in Europe do so by crossing into countries such as Iran and Turkey with a visa, then crossing the Mediterranean Sea by boat.
Rahim, a 20-year-old man whom Amnesty International researchers met in Kabul in May, had fled to Norway in late 2015, according to the report. “I felt like a human being in Norway, I had never felt that way here in Afghanistan,” he told researchers.
However, his asylum claim was denied and in December he was deported. Norwegian authorities told Rahim that he would be safe if he lived in a different province from the one where he had grown up.
“Here I live in fear. I can’t study, I can’t find a job and I can’t go to my place of origin,” he said.
In 2016 the five European countries from which the most Afghans were returned were: Germany (3,440), Greece (1,480), Sweden (1,025), the United Kingdom (785) and Norway (760), according to the report.
Norway appears to be the European country responsible for the largest number of forcibly returned Afghans, the report found. Citing Afghan authorities, Amnesty said of all the forced returns in the first four months of this year, 32 percent (97 out of 304 people) came from the northern European country.
Horia Mosadiq, Amnesty International’s Afghanistan researcher, said the returns violate international law.
“The same European countries that once pledged support for a better future for Afghans are now crushing their hopes and abandoning them to a country that has become even more dangerous since they fled,” Mosadiq said.
In response to the report, Germany’s Interior Ministry said the country always evaluates each case individually with regard to the security situation facing the deportee.
But, it said, “there is a consensus within the government” that Amnesty’s findings do not preclude Germany from deporting “criminals, security risks and people who steadfastly refuse identity checks,” as it has been doing.”
Suicide bomber strikes Shiite shrine in Pakistan, killing 20 (abcnews, Oct 5, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/suicide-bomber-strikes-shiite-shrine-pakistan-killing-12-50301051
“A suicide bomber struck a Shiite shrine packed with worshippers in a remote village in southwestern Pakistan on Thursday, killing 20 people and leaving at least 25 wounded in an apparent sectarian attack, a provincial government spokesman and the police said.
The attacker detonated his explosives vest when he was stopped for a routine search by a police officer guarding the shrine in the village of Jhal Masgi, about 400 kilometers (240 miles) east of Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Anwarul Haq Kakar, spokesman for the provincial government, said the death toll could rise as some of the wounded were in critical condition.
Mohammad Iqbal, a district police chief, said five children, a woman and one police officer were among those 20 people killed in the bombing.
He said they found body parts of the attacker and investigators were trying to determine who was behind the bombing. Sarfraz Bugto, the provincial home minister, said “terrorists have shown their inhumaneness by attacking innocent civilians” at the shrine…”

“Petrol containers and what’s been described as a “crude” detonators were found under several cement trucks in north eastern Paris on Thursday morning according to reports.
Workers found six petrol containers attached to a “crude detonator device” under several trucks at a cement works in Paris on Thursday, sources close to the inquiry told AFP.
The trucks, found in the French capital’s northeastern 19th arrondissement, belonged to Franco-Swiss cement company LafargeHolcim.
“Workers discovered the containers as they went to work this morning,” one source told AFP.
Bomb disposal experts rushed to the site and police cordoned off the area, situated in a working-class district.
According to BFM TV however police are not treating the incident as an attempted terrorist attack, while France Info quote sources saying it is too early to know whether the device was functional.
Prosecutors have reportedly opened a probe into attempted destruction of property by fire…”

Truck Control, It Only Happens Here and Other Gun Control Myths
4 mass shooting myths exposed.
October 5, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
(1) Everything Kills — “Guns are uniquely lethal.”
Last year, a Muslim terrorist with a truck killed 86 people and wounded another 458.
Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, the Tunisian Muslim killer, had brought along a gun, but it proved largely ineffective. The deadliest weapon of the delivery driver was a truck. Mohammed, who was no genius, used it to kill more people than Stephen Paddock would with all his meticulous planning in Vegas.
Do we need truck control?
Deadlier than the truck is the jet plane. Nearly 3,000 people were killed on September 11 by terrorists with a plan and some box cutters. And then there are always the bombs.

French Authorities Drop the Ball in Marseille Slaughter
Terrorism continues to spike in France while French officials ignore the obvious.
October 5, 2017
Ari Lieberman

On October 1, a Muslim man of North African descent in his 30s arrived at Saint-Charles station in Marseille with one purpose in mind – to murder as many people as possible in the name of Islam. His first victim, a 20-year-old medical student from Marseille never stood a chance. The assailant lunged at her with a knife whose blade measured 8 inches, and stabbed her repeatedly while screaming “Allah Akbar.” He fled the scene but returned shortly thereafter to claim his second victim, a 21-year-old trainee nurse from Lyon. According to sources, one of the victims also had her throat slit.
The cold-blooded and depraved murder of the two young women failed to satiate terrorist’s lust for blood. After murdering his second victim, he ran toward soldiers patrolling as part of Operation Sentinelle, who shot him dead. In Western Europe, this is the new normal but the situation is particularly acute in France, which has experienced a rolling wave of terrorism since 2012. The country currently resembles an armed camp with the deployment of thousands of soldiers and police armed with automatic weapons, patrolling sensitive locations. But apart from increased security, France appears unable or unwilling to do more to counter the threat.

Congressman Ted Deutch Speaks at Radical Boca Mosque
Islamic center has long history of links to al-Qaeda and anti-Semitism.
October 5, 2017
Joe Kaufman
This past June, United States Representative Ted Deutch (D-Florida) paid a visit to the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, a radical mosque with a long history of terror and bigotry, and spoke in front of its leadership. The event must be exposed so that the Congressman and others in his position understand that participating in such an event is dangerous, because it provides legitimacy and cover for an institution which for over a decade has been documented to pose a genuine threat to the community.
On June 2nd, the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) placed a video from one of its events on its Facebook page with the caption: ‘Congressman Theodore Elliot Deutch visits ICBR.’ The video portrayed Deutch speaking to a small group, while standing next to a video monitor and in back of a table, both with the green and white ICBR logo found on them. Seated to his left and looking intently on the Congressman was the President and co-founder of the mosque, Bassem Alhalabi.

Islamic Sunset on Germany
by Guy Millière
October 5, 2017 at 5:00 am
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11100/germany-islamic-sunse
Germany’s federal elections were supposed to lead to the triumph of Angela Merkel. Their results were rather different from what was anticipated. Merkel’s “victory” looks like a disaster: the Christian Democratic Alliance (CDU-CSU) won 33% of the vote — 9% less than four years ago, its worst result since 1949. The Social Democratic Party (SPD), which governed the country with Merkel during the last four years, lost more than 5%, and fell from 25.7 % to 20% of the vote — the worst result in its history. Alternative for Germany (AfD), a conservative nationalist party born in 2013, obtained 12.6%, and will enter in the Bundestag for the first time. Die Linke, the Marxist left, received 9%. As neither the SPD nor Die Linke will participate in the next government, and as AfD is radically opposed to the policies pursued by Merkel, she has only two possible partners: the libertarian Free Democratic Party and The Greens: both of whose positions on most subjects seem incompatible.
Angela Merkel will remain Chancellor, but by default, and mostly because there was no other real choice: six months ago, two-thirds of the German population wanted her to be replaced. Only 8% wanted her to remain in her post. Martin Schultz, former President of the European Parliament, who was the SPD candidate, did not offer anything different and led a lackluster campaign.
If Merkel succeeds in forming a coalition, it will be a precarious and unstable assemblage that will keep Germany on the verge of paralysis and make the country the sick man of 21st century Europe.
Germany actually already is a sick country, and Angela Merkel is part of the sickness.
In 1945, Germany was in ruins. It rebuilt itself and gradually became Europe’s leading economic power. While regaining strength, it did not assert itself politically and remained discreet, humble, repentant, silently shameful. Because of its role in the war, it was reluctant to recreate an army when NATO powers asked it to rebuild one; instead, it adopted a general position of appeasement that led to “Ostpolitik”, a policy of rapprochement with the communist East and the Soviet Union.

The Real Roots of Islamic Terrorism

Another terrorist attacks France and slaughters two innocent women at the Marseille train station. The terrorist was reportedly chanting the Arabic verses.
Within 24 hours, another terror attack took place in Edmonton, Canada outside a football stadium, when a man with a knife left five people injured. An ISIS flag was reportedly found in suspect’s car.
The strike in a country known for going extra miles to take in immigrants from the war-torn Middle East exposes the fact that these terrorists are enemies not only of human rights but often if the very people trying to help them.
No soft gesture, however, will deter extremist Muslims unless the whole world submits to their version of Islam.

Intel Shows North Korea May Be Planning Something Big
10/05/2017 Source: AAN by: Remington Strelivo
A top CIA official on the Korean Peninsula has warned that the U.S. should brace for a “new provocation” on Columbus Day.
Columbus Day, which falls on Monday, October 9, coincides with the anniversary of the 1945 founding of the Workers’ Party of North Korea, the political party that governs North Korea.
According to Yong Suk Lee, deputy assistant director of the CIA’s Korean Mission Center, this could mean that a strike on the United States could be coming in less than a week.
Lee, who made the jarring claims in a speech at George Washington University in Washington, DC, didn’t speculate on what North Korea would do on Columbus Day—but they have a long history of launching missiles or nuclear tests on major dates, such as the birthday of their current leader, Kim Jong-Un.

“A SOMALI immigrant was jailed for 18 years over the death of a handyman who was stabbed and beaten in the street in front of horrified children.
The next day convicted drug dealer Mohammed Abdillahi, 25, volunteered to be deported back to his home country to escape justice but he was arrested a week later.
Abdillahi and his friends attacked Augustus Fenton, 27, like a pack of “wild animals” as passing youngsters walked home from school, the Old Bailey was told.
He was convicted of manslaughter and wounding the victim’s brother with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He had already admitted violent disorder…”
