The Sad State of UC Berkeley
A Berkeley alumnus speaks out on the university’s nightmarish turn.
October 23, 2017
Laurence Jarvik
Author’s note: A week ago I received an invitation to a fundraiser for the Daily Californian Foundation, which raises private money to support the UC Berkeley student newspaper.
However, after recent violent attacks on Milo, Pam Geller, David Horowitz, and Ann Coulter, among others, I felt that I could no longer donate to a newspaper which had apparently abandoned its commitment to free speech, and wanted to share my thoughts in this regard with its staff. As they never responded, I thought publication of my letter in FrontPageMag, founded by a UC Berkeley alumnus and former instructor, might get their attention, and hopefully lead to some “second thoughts” at the Daily Cal:
Thank you for your email and kind invitation.
However, I am too disappointed and embarrassed by what I read in the Daily Californian recently about Free Speech at Berkeley to attend your event.
It is appalling to see articles, opeds, and editorials which advocate violence against those with dissenting opinions in a student newspaper that left campus during the Free Speech Movement in order to maintain editorial independence and commit itself to free speech.
Therefore, I can’t in good conscience support the Daily Cal unless and until it unequivocally disavows and rejects politically correct positions which run counter to principles of freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry, freedom of debate, academic freedom and free-thinking in general.

Folks, do you know that parts of Michigan state have been described as “mini Baghadad” due to the mass amount of Muslim that live there?
There is a big problem and it’s not getting better!
Illegal activity has swept the streets and welfare fraud schemes by Muslims have been uncovered time and time again.
Another huge issue the state is facing is the disgusting number of people practicing female genital mutilation. The bust that just occurred, however, is dubbed by the Justice Department as the “largest scam in United States history.”

Sending Mixed Messages in Sweden
Inviting immigrants with one hand, expelling them with the other.
October 23, 2017
Bruce Bawer
Even before the so-called refugee crisis began in 2015, immigrants formed a larger percentage of Sweden’s population than of any other country in Europe. During this current wave, Sweden, with under ten million inhabitants, has taken in hundreds of thousands more. Though most of them claim to be in need of asylum, the majority actually aren’t. Many claim to be children, but they look as if they’re twenties or even older.
Sweden has been an easy touch for a generation or more, but the Swedes have never looked more like a bunch of self-destructive suckers than they do now.
At the same time, a growing number of these formerly docile folks are finding their voices. They’re openly expressing support for the non-establishment Sweden Democrat Party, which demands severe limits on immigration. Even the mainstream Moderates, who can feel the Sweden Democrats breathing down their necks, are now talking about imposing serious restrictions. At a conference weekend before last, the Moderates actually voted to challenge the current EU system, whereby asylum seekers are admitted into the superstate before their applications are approved. The Moderates would rather set up “safe places” outside the EU where those asylum seekers can cool their heels while those applications are reviewed. Finally!

FBI Busted Russian Spy Aimed at Hillary Clinton

And, as usual, Clintonworld denies everything and blames a right-wing conspiracy.
But John Solomon and Alison Spann reveal extensive Russian activities targeting Hillary. And that undermines her post-election conspiracy theories about the Russians and Trump. The Russians were big on equal time. They pretended to be conservatives and members of Black Lives Matter online. And they most certainly targeted Madam Hillary.
Mueller Investigation Moves To Brother of Hillary Campaign Chair

And we aren’t even talking Rosatom and Uranium One yet.
Hillary’s “Trump is a Russian agent” excuse for losing the election has not aged well. And considering the Podesta Group’s Russian lobbying, it was only a matter of time until any investigation of Russian influence would drag them in.
Between the notorious Clinton eagerness to cash in on foreign interests and the sheer number of dubious people on her payroll, opening up the Pandora’s Box of Russian influence was always going to end up hurting her more.

Terrorism Sponsor Elected To The UN Human Rights Council
What it means for America and our allies.
October 23, 2017
Edward McKinney
“Like making a pyromaniac the town fire chief.” That’s the verdict from Hillel Neuer, executive director of the NGO UN Watch, on the controversial decision to appoint the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the UN Human Rights Council. It’s a view shared by UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, who said that the DRC’s appointment proved that the HRC could not possibly view itself as a unified voice of moral clarity with the integrity to call out abusive governments. The US, which is rightfully reviewing its membership in the council, has called for competitive elections to put pressure on countries with such abysmal human rights records.
Unfortunately, it is not only atrocities within its own borders that the DRC is fueling – it is also sponsoring terrorism overseas. According to a new report, “The Terrorists’ Treasury,” the BGFIBank DRC – which is operated by the brother of Congolese President Joseph Kabila – has been diverting assets to enable the financiers of the Iranian-backed Shiite terrorist organization, Hezbollah.
This is not the first time that the DRC has been exposed as a state sponsor of terrorism. Earlier this year, the NGO Global Witness exposed how Congo Futur, a lumber company owned by major financiers of Hezbollah, had clandestinely created new companies and transferred ownership to proxies in order to circumvent sanctions and export more than $5.5 million worth of luxury timber from the DRC to the US market.

A Federal Court In California Is Considering The Constitutionality Of Banning This Age Old Profession
A federal court heard arguments yesterday challenging California’s criminalization of prostitution, in a case that could have implications for sex work laws across the nation.
Brought by the Erotic Service Providers Legal, Education, and Research Project (ESPLERP), the constitutional challenge claims that California’s prostitution laws violate residents’ right to privacy, free speech, and free association.
“Our hope is to see this bad law struck down,” said ESPLERP President Maxine Doogan, “so that consenting adults who choose to be involved in prostitution are simply treated as private citizens again, and are afforded all the privacy and constitutional rights thereof.”

Hungary: Central Europe is “last migrant-free zone in Europe” says PM
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called Central Europe “The last migrant-free zone in Europe” at commemorations marking the 61 anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian uprising in Budapest on Monday.
SOT, Viktor Orban, Hungarian Prime Minister, (Hungarian): “We are the only ones who resist. We got there, that’s why Central Europe is the last migrant-free zone in Europe. That is why the fight for Europe’s future is here.”
SOT, Viktor Orban, Hungarian Prime Minister, (Hungarian): “The only thing we need, we have here in Central-Europe, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians and Hungarians join forces. The only thing we need to discover is the force in our hands, in our heads, in our hearts and behave as proud nations did.”
BREITBART – Pro-Second Amendment Rights Czech President Uses Toy Gun to Mock Tension with Liberal Media
Liberal media outlets in the West have affected outrage after Czech President Milos Zeman brandished a toy rifle inscribed with the words “for journalists”.
“Do not be afraid”, the president told reporters at a press conference Friday, pointing out that the novelty item was loaded only with “a bottle of Becherovka” liquor as ammunition.
While the toy was given as a gift to Zeman — a strong proponent of the U.S. constitution’s second amendment — during his recent tour of the Czech Republic’s Karlovy Vary region, Western media has presented the stunt as a serious threat to the lives of journalists working in the central European nation.
Noting that the Czech president has “sought ways to keep immigrants out”, The Washington Post accused Zeman of having “declared war on the media”, in an article which claimed journalists are increasingly unsafe in European Union (EU) nations whose voters and governments reject mass migration.
Reporting how the president compared the media to a “septic tank” in comments he made in 2002, the Washington D.C.-based U.S.-daily newspaper alarmedly proclaimed that Zeman’s appearance “marked a new low point in the relations between the media and the Czech head of state”.
The press conference Friday was also branded “inappropriate” by ThinkProgress, with the George Soros-funded outlet citing think tank Freedom House and asserting that Czech politicians have joined U.S. President Donald Trump — along with anti-mass migration governments in Poland and Hungary — in “undermining traditional media outlets”.
“Democracy is more than just elections”, asserted a report published last year by Freedom House, which claimed that the system was under threat in Central and Eastern Europe, because politicians have resisted Brussels’ demands to import thousands of migrants from the third world.
According to the American NGO — which is financially backed by, and has close links to, globalist financier Soros — “xenophobia and religious intolerance” went against the fundamental values of democracy”, while any attempt in Europe to ban the niqab was blasted as anti-democratic on the basis that they could “pander to anti-Islamic sentiment”.
As reported by Breitbart London, Zeman has called for second amendment-like rights for European citizens on a number of occasions, arguing an armed European citizenry is essential for protection against Islamist terrorists. In August he called on his fellow countrymen to start carrying firearms in reaction to a string of terror attacks, he also called for border closures.
The Czech president’s latest remarks follow a clear recent swing in the country right-wards, with the national elections over the weekend being seen as a victory for right-wing Eurosceptics. In a landslide result, the Czech public voted for Andrej Babis, a populist billionaire often compared to Donald Trump, to lead the country, and demoted the nation’s formerly governing left-wing party to their worst result in national history.

I disagree with this article and think it is naive. I found the comments to the article to be more realistic.
The comments about Erodgan are much more realistic but the ones on other things show their own kind of delusion, some of them think the US is all powerful and can take a large section of Turkey and Syria to make a land corridor o the Med to supply the Kurds. Others think we should pull back to the states and let the rest of the world fight things out. The US has been a global nation since our founding and we have grown more global as new technology arose we need resources from overseas and we need ocean freighters to bring that into the US. We need a free and independent Europe to provide things for us just as they need a free and independent US to provide things for them. What we have to teach the kids is that the semi peace since the end of WWII was a historical anomaly and that we will always have wanna be dictators trying to conquer the world. We also have to teach them that we are not immune from developing our own wanna be dictators and that we must keep the armed populace that has kept us from becoming a dictatorship for our entire existence.
