    Headline: “‘Katie Hopkins will be spreading her vitriol in Lewes on Saturday'”

    “HUNDREDS of people are planning on protesting at a controversial talk by Katie Hopkins.”

    “Organiser Rae Hart, said: “Katie Hopkins will be spreading her vitriol in Lewes on Saturday.

    “It’s such a shame Lewes Speakers Festival is giving her a platform

    “Let’s show her we do not accept her vile, fascist hateful views and we fully support the migrant, refugee, LGBTQI communities she sneers on. Let’s show solidarity with those she thinks should be subject to genocide.”

    “Tickets were last night still available for her talk , priced from £10.

    The event at the All Saints Centre in Friars Walk starts at 6.45pm.

    Protestors are expected to gather outside the venue from 6pm.”

    No balanced reporting. Inciting violence. Stating where rioters are to meet and at what time.

    • “This is not about ‘freedom of speech’ this is about intellectual integrity and solidarity with some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people that suffer enough. Please share Brightonians and Lewesians and everyone else that might be about to counter her message.

      “I’m all for free speech but Katie Hopkins just says provocative and offensive things to further her own career. I’m not supporting that under any circumstances.”

      “Mossadegh had sought to audit the documents of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a British corporation (now part of BP) and to limit the company’s control over Iranian petroleum reserves. Upon the refusal of the AIOC to co-operate with the Iranian government, the parliament (Majlis) voted to nationalize Iran’s oil industry and to expel foreign corporate representatives from the country.[10][11][12] After this vote, Britain instigated a worldwide boycott of Iranian oil to pressure Iran economically.[13] Initially, Britain mobilized its military to seize control of the British-built Abadan oil refinery, then the world’s largest, but Prime Minister Clement Attlee opted instead to tighten the economic boycott[14] while using Iranian agents to undermine Mosaddegh’s government.[15] Winston Churchill and the Eisenhower administration decided to overthrow Iran’s government, though the predecessor Truman administration had opposed a coup, fearing the precedent that CIA involvement would set.[16] Classified documents show that British intelligence officials played a pivotal role in initiating and planning the coup, and that the AIOC contributed $25,000 towards the expense of bribing officials.[17] In August 2013, 60 years after, the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) admitted that it was in charge of both the planning and the execution of the coup, including the bribing of Iranian politicians, security and army high-ranking officials, as well as pro-coup propaganda.[18][19] The CIA is quoted acknowledging the coup was carried out “under CIA direction” and “as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government”.[20]”

    “Iraq and General Electric have signed a deal to develop Iraq’s power infrastructure, which would help bring much-needed electricity to areas facing significant shortages across the country.

    GE says in a statement released on Wednesday that the more than $400-million contract will help building 14 electric substations and supply critical equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers and other outdoor equipment to revamp existing substations.

    GE says the substations will hook up power plants in the provinces of Ninevah, Salahuddin, Anbar, Baghdad, Karbala, Qadissiyah and Basra to the national grid.

    It says GE will also help Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity secure funding through various financial institutions.

    Despite billions of dollars spent since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, many Iraqi cities and towns are still experiencing severe power cuts and rolling blackouts.”

  4. UN court convicts Mladic of genocide over Bosnia’s horrors (abcnews, Nov 22, 2017)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/judges-set-pass-judgment-trial-ratko-mladic-51318828

    “The United Nations’ Yugoslav war crimes tribunal convicted Bosnian Serb military chief Gen. Ratko Mladic on Wednesday of genocide and crimes against humanity, and sentenced him to life in prison for atrocities during Bosnia’s 1992-1995 war.

    Mladic, 75, was found guilty of commanding forces responsible for crimes including the worst atrocities of the war — the deadly three-year siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, and the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the eastern enclave of Srebrenica, which was Europe’s worst mass killing since World War II.

    A three-judge panel at the court formally known as the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia convicted Mladic of 10 of 11 counts in a dramatic climax to a groundbreaking effort to seek justice for the wars in the former Yugoslavia.

    Presiding Judge Alphons Orie read out the judgment Wednesday after ordering Mladic out of the courtroom for the final verdict over an angry outburst.

    “The crimes committed rank among the most heinous known to humankind,” he said.

    Mothers of Srebrenica’s victims clapped when the convictions were read out. Mladic’s son Darko said: “I’m not surprised. The court was totally biased from the start.”

    Bosniaks and Serbs watched from near and far as the long-awaited climax approached. Wednesday’s judgment marks the end of the final trial at the tribunal, which was set up in 1993, while fierce fighting was still raging in Bosnia.

    Emotions ran high outside the courtroom, with a small skirmish reflecting lingering tensions between Serbs and Bosniaks over the trial and the war.

    Despite ailing health, Mladic looked relaxed, greeting lawyers and giving a thumbs-up to photographers in court. He nodded regularly as presiding Judge Alphons Orie read out descriptions of atrocities by Bosnian Serb forces, one by one.

    Then Mladic’s lawyer asked for a delay because the general was suffering high blood pressure. The judge refused, and Mladic burst out with criticism and was ordered to leave the room.

    Prosecutors had sought a life sentence, while Mladic’s defense lawyers said he should be acquitted on all counts.

    Orie said the court confirmed that “genocide, persecution, extermination, murder and the inhuman act of forcible transfer were committed in or around Srebrenica” in 1995. Previous judgments have said it was genocide. However, Orie said the court is “not convinced” of genocidal intent in six other municipalities, in line with previous judgments.

    The conflict in the former Yugoslavia erupted after the breakup of the former multi-ethnic federation in the early 1990s, with the worst crimes taking place in Bosnia. More than 100,000 people died and millions lost their homes before a peace agreement was signed in 1995. Mladic went into hiding for around ten years before his arrest in Serbia in May 2011.

    Mladic’s political master during the war, former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic was also convicted last year for genocide and sentenced to 40 years. He has appealed the ruling.

    The man widely blamed for fomenting wars across the Balkans, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, died in his UN cell in 2006 before tribunal judges could reach verdicts in his trial.”

  5. Group calls for Indonesian forces to stop virginity tests (abcnews, Nov 22, 2017)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/group-calls-indonesian-forces-stop-virginity-tests-51315505

    “Indonesia’s military and police continue to perform abusive virginity tests on female recruits three years after the World Health Organization declared they had no scientific validity, an international human rights group said Wednesday.

    Human Rights Watch said senior Indonesian police and military officers have told it that security forces still impose the “cruel and discriminatory tests,” which are carried out under the guise of psychological examinations for mental health and morality reasons.

    “The Indonesian government’s continuing tolerance for abusive ‘virginity tests’ by the security forces reflects an appalling lack of political will to protect the rights of Indonesian women,” said Nisha Varia, women’s rights advocacy director at Human Rights Watch.

    The group called for President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to order the national police chief and military commander to ban the practice.

    The testing includes the invasive “two-finger test” to determine whether female applicants’ hymens are intact, which WHO in its 2014 clinical guidelines for health care of sexually abused women said lacks any scientific basis.

    Indonesia’s military did not respond to a request for comment. Three years ago it defended the practice as safeguarding morality…”

    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/egypt-detains-29-charges-spied-turkey-51321233

    “Egyptian prosecutors have ordered the detention for two weeks of 29 suspected members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood on charges they spied for Turkey.

    A prosecution statement Wednesday says the 29 illegally facilitated international calls made by people in Egypt through Turkish-based servers offered at discounted charges. The statement accuses them of then eavesdropping on the calls to gather information on conditions in Egypt that they passed onto Turkish intelligence.

    The money earned from the calls was allegedly also used to set up media platforms outside Egypt that used the information to spread fake news and rumors to incite Egyptians against their government.

    Egypt and Turkey have been at loggerheads since the military’s 2013 ouster of an Islamist president who hails from the Brotherhood and enjoyed the support of Turkey.”

    Residents in Alabama were left baffled last week when a loud boom resounded across much of the state.

    The boom, nicknamed ‘Bama Boom’, has left experts stumped, with suggested causes ranging from supersonic aircrafts to meteors exploding in the atmosphere.

    This isn’t the first time that the mysterious sound has been heard, and incidents are becoming more frequent according to some reports.

    This year alone, similar noises have been reported 64 times this year, in locations including Michigan, Lapland, St Ives, Swansea and Yorkshire.

  9. FCC Head Ajit Pai: Killing Net Neutrality Will Set the Internet Free
    Promises that “we’re going to see an explosion in the kinds of connectivity and the depth of that connectivity” like never before.

    In an exclusive interview today just hours after announcing his plan to repeal “Net Neutrality” rules governing the actions of Internet-service providers (ISPs) and mobile carriers, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai has an in-your-face prediction for his critics: “Over the coming years, we’re going to see an explosion in the kinds of connectivity and the depth of that connectivity,” he said this afternoon. “Ultimately that means that the human capital in the United States that’s currently on the shelf—the people who don’t have digital opportunity—will become participants in the digital economy.”

    Pai stressed that regulating the Internet under a Title II framework originally created in the 1930s had led to less investment in infrastructure and a slower rate of innovation. “Since the dawn of the commercial internet, ISPs have been investing as much as they can in networks in order to upgrade their facilities and to compete with each other,” he says. “Outside of a recession we’ve never seen that sort of investment go down year over year. But we did in 2015, after these regulations were adopted.” In a Wall Street Journal column published today, Pai says Title II was responsible for a nearly 6 percent decline in broadband network investment as ISPs saw compliance costs rise and the regulatory atmosphere become uncertain. In his interview with Reason, Pai stressed that the real losers under Net Neutrality were people living in rural areas and low-income Americans who were stuck on the bad end of “the digital divide.”

  10. Man With Huge Knife Planned to Stab Imam and Become a ‘Martyr for England’ (sputniknes, Nov 22, 2017)
    https://sputniknews.com/europe/201711221059330420-knife-man-stab-muslims/

    “A knifeman, who was arrested after he brandished a 10-inch blade in south London and approached people asking if they were Muslim, has been jailed for two years and three months. The attack happened only four days after four Muslim men drove into people on London Bridge and then stabbed revelers in Borough Market.

    Mickey Sage, 24, pleaded guilty on Tuesday, November 21, to two counts of threatening a person with a knife in a public place and accepted the incident was religiously aggravated.

    In the early hours of June 7 — the day before the UK General Election and four days after the London Bridge attack — police were called to the Camberwell Green area of south London after reports of a man threatening people.

    Sage, who was armed with the knife, approached people and asked them if they were Muslim.

    When he was stopped and searched by police he had no knife on him but a witness had seen him hide it in a bush, where it was discovered.

    ‘Out to Kill a Muslim’

    As he was being taken to a police station Sage admitted: “It was my knife and I was out to kill a Muslim.”

    He said he hated Muslims and was trying to find one to stab.

    ?Sage added that “he would be a martyr for England and stab an imam in the neck.”

    He did not appear to be intoxicated and had no record of mental illness.

    ‘Hate Crime Has No Place in Any Society’

    “Sage set out with a large knife with the clear intention to find Muslims to stab. Hate crime like this has no place in any society,” said Detective Constable Samuel Cafferty.

    “Sage poses a very clear and present danger to members of the public, particularly the Muslim community and I’m pleased that he now has plenty of time to consider his actions.

    Members of public confronted by Sage were not harmed but shaken by their ordeal and managed to get away from what could have been a very different ending,” said Det. Con. Cafferty.

    The police urged people to report hate crime by using the MOPAC Hate Crime app or by contacting organizations such as Tell MAMA, Galop, or the CST.”

  11. German Green Party Sparks Outrage After Partnering with Hamas Terrorists (breitbart, Nov 22, 2017)
    http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2017/11/22/german-green-party-sparks-outrage-partnering-hamas-terrorists/

    “A plan for the German Green Party to join with the Hamas terrorist organization in a series of co-hosted events in Gaza and Beirut has sparked anger in Germany.

    According to the Jerusalem Post, a copy of the speaking roster lists the publicly-funded Böll-Foundation as a partner organization for the late November conferences titled: “The 1987 Intifada, : History and Memory, Commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the first uprising against the Israeli occupation.”

    The Heinrich-Böll-Foundation is acknowledged as the policy wing of the German Green Party. It will be part of a series of conferences set down for Gaza (November 24-26) and Beirut (November 28-30) headlined by the Gaza-based Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad and the Hamas movement leader Hasan Yusuf.

    Olga Deutsch, director of the European desk of the Jerusalem-based NGO Monitor, told the Post of her dismay at the plan. She said:

    The record reflects years of support and cooperation between the Heinrich Boll Stiftung in Ramallah and other groups including those allegedly linked to terror organizations. The Stiftung’s involvement in an event which lends a platform to a Hamas leader is unprecedented in its severity.

    This sort of activity is inconsistent with the body of the Stiftung’s activities and its values.

    The management’s silence, as well as the silence of the Israel branch, is difficult to understand.

    Prof. Gerald Steinberg, the president of NGO Monitor, told the Post that German political foundations with very large budgets “are powerful actors, particularly regarding Israel, as this example shows.” He lamented the insensitivity of some of those groups, including those providing platforms for known, proscribed terroristgroups.

    “We strongly urge these foundations to open a wide dialogue with all groups in Israeli society, and to start to listen to the criticism,” added Steinberg.

    As Breitbart Jerusalem reported, Hamas is a radical Islamist movement sworn to the destruction both of Israel and the Jewish people. In July it was officially declared a terrorist organization by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) after judges in the European Union’s most senior court ruled the group should remain on an EU-wide terror blacklist.

    The EU originally imposed travel bans and asset freezes on Hamas after the September 11, 2001 Al-Qaeda terror attacks on New York and Washington.

    Hamas opposed the sanctions from the start, arguing that it is a legally elected government and therefore has the right to conduct military operations against Israel.

    It refuses to recognize that some of Judaism’s holiest sites are located in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount and Western Wall in Jerusalem; the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs in Hebron; and Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus.

    For its part, the Böll foundation maintains that any links with Hamas are purely coincidental. It wrote on its Twitter feed that it “did not invite any Hamas representatives to the podium.” The foundation added that its “Ramallah office cooperates every year with the IPS [Institute for Palestine Studies], a well-respected and independent [institute].””

  12. UK Launches ‘Separation’ Prison Wings for Extremists and Jihadists (breitbart, Nov 22, 2017)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/11/22/uk-launches-separation-prison-wings-extremists-jihadists/

    “The UK has set up two new ‘separation wings’ in prisons to isolate jihadists and other extremists and stop them spreading their murderous ideology.

    The first so-called ‘jihadi’ wing – housing infamous hate preacher Anjem Choudary – opened in Frankland Prison in July, and it has been joined by one in HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire and HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes.

    The plan is to house 28 of the nation’s most dangerous extremists in the units to separate them from other prisoners by the end of the year, The Sun reports.

    Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah told the paper: “Extremism must be defeated wherever it is found. And I will do what I can to prevent the most dangerous extremists spreading their poisonous ideology in an attempt to influence and convert others.”

    The Ministry of Justice, however, has refused to identify the extremist inmates or reveal if they fought with terrorists in Syria.

    Mr. Gyimah added: “It is right that these offenders are separate from other prisoners so we can limit the chances of them targeting the vulnerable offenders who are at risk of being dragged into their warped and repugnant way of thinking.”

    In 2016, it was reported that one in five prisoners in the UK’s top security jails is now Muslim, a rise of 23 per cent from just five years ago.

    In total, a 20 per cent increase in the jail population in Britain has been accompanied by the rise in Muslim inmates – up 122 per cent over 13 years.

    A growing number of this Muslim prison population is adopting radical views behind bars. The number of ‘far right’ prisoners is small but also rising…”

    “The U.S. State Department has courted controversy by announcing it will plough $700,000 into Hungarian media, angering the country’s anti-globalist, conservative government.

    The funding was announced by U.S. Chargé d‘Affaires David Kostelancik, who has previously appeared to openly criticise the Trump administration by alluding to “apparent inconsistencies in [U.S.] foreign policy” and remarking that “not every criticism of the government is ‘fake news’.”

    Breitbart London spoke to a State Department official who confirmed it supports what it calls “democracy and human rights programming” in many countries, and that its intentions in Hungary — a NATO ally — are to “support media outlets operating outside the capital … to produce fact-based reporting and increase their audience and economic sustainability”….”

  14. France’s Le Pen says victim of ‘banking fatwa’ over account closures

    ARIS/NANTERRE (Reuters) – French far-right leader Marine Le Pen accused two banks on Wednesday of launching a “banking fatwa” to silence her National Front party by closing bank accounts of hers and her party’s.

    The banks said they had acted within regulatory requirements but declined to offer fuller explanations.

    Le Pen is smarting from defeat in this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections, during which she accused French banks of being politically biased for not lending to her campaigns.

    “This is an attempt to suffocate an opposition party, and no democrat should accept that,” Le Pen told a news conference, calling on President Emmanuel Macron and other political parties to back her National Front (FN).

  15. Italian left’s efforts to stop migrants may backfire at election

    ROME (Reuters) – A deal with Libya that has slashed the number of migrants reaching Italy could scupper the ruling center Democratic Party’s (PD) already dwindling hopes of staying in power next year as it is opposed by the PD’s potential coalition partners.

    The deal, struck in February, is popular with the Italian public and with right-wing and anti-establishment parties now ahead in opinion polls, but it has drawn criticism from the United Nations, rights groups and many on Italy’s left.

    Under the accord, Italy and the European Union pledged to finance migrant camps in Libya, and Rome also agreed to train the Libyan coastguard, part of a crackdown on migrants attempting the hazardous sea crossing to Europe.

    But the deal has also led to tens of thousands of migrants being trapped in Libya, where humanitarian groups say they are locked up in appalling conditions, bought and sold, and subjected to crimes on a daily basis.

    ‘Nonwhite’ student confesses having written racist graffiti in girls’ bathroom in Mo. high school
    By Howard Portnoy November 22, 2017

    Another day, another inside job. Understandably, officials at Parkway Central High School in Chesterfield, Mo., are not releasing the identity, including the race, of the “nonwhite” student who on Nov. 15 scrawled “White Lives Matter” followed by the N-word on a mirror in the girls room because she is a minor.

    What is not understandable — or forgivable — is the response of the administration upon learning that the incident was a hoax. According to St. Louis Fox affiliate KTVI, Principal Timothy McCarthy wrote in an email to the community:

  17. FBI informant was told Uranium One deal went through because of ‘politics’
    By Jeff Dunetz November 22, 2017

    William Campbell worked as an FBI informant in the Russian nuclear business for six years, well before the Uranium One sale. He compiled over 5,000 documents which he shared with The Hill, and when he questioned his FBI handler on how the Uranium One sale could be approved after all the information he supplied, Campbell was told the deal went through because of politics.

    The evidence Mr. Campbell gave the FBI proves the Uranium One deal was seen by Russia and its American consultants as part of their strategy to corner the uranium market worldwide. Among other things, the Russians wanted the United States to need the Russians for our uranium needs.

    Campbell was even asked to help the Russian nuclear firm Rosatam overcome the political opposition that was building about the sale:

  18. Black Lives Matter conducts a Trump approval poll: Hilarity ensues
    By Thomas Madison November 21, 2017

    This is hilarious!

    What do liberals do when they run a poll and don’t get the results they wanted? Why, they delete the poll, of course.

    Black Lives Matter ended up with egg on its face after it posted a poll that asked about President Donald Trump’s job performance. According to Conservative Tribune, the backing for the president was overwhelming.

    The poll posted on Twitter on Nov. 15 asked: “Do you approve or disapprove of President Trump’s job performance? Do vote and retweet.”

    Quickly, the scores came in.

    In no time at all, Trump’s approval rating was up to 50%, then 60%, and finally 70%. Only 28% of respondents said they disapproved of the president’s performance.

    The group apparently realized what was happening and scrambled to remove the tweet containing the poll, but not before Twitter users captured a screenshot:

    When this story was first reported in September, the name of the foul-mouthed female aggressor was unknown. Since then she has been identified as Edith Macias. That information is found on a criminal complaint against her filed on behalf of Matthew Vitale, the plaintiff.

    Both are students at University of California, Riverside. In September, Macias snatched a “Make America Great Again” hat off Vitale’s head on the grounds that it offended her. Now she faces a misdemeanor charge of grand theft, which can land her behind bars for up to a year.

    In the video of the confrontation, which follows, Macias spews obscenity after obscenity, all in the name of justice as she views it:

  20. Secret document deliberately kept TRUTH about EU from British public for 30 YEARS (express, Nov 22, 2017)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/882881/Brexit-EU-secret-document-truth-British-public

    “A SECRET document, which remained locked away for 30 years, advised the British Government to COVER-UP the realities of EU membership so that by the time the public realised what was happening it would be too late.

    Almost all of the shocking predictions – from the loss of British sovereignty, to monetary union and the over-arching powers of European courts – have come true.

    But damningly for Tory Prime Minister Edward Heath, and all those who kept quiet about the findings in the early 70s, the document, known as FCO30/1048, was locked away under Official Secrets Act rules for almost five decades.

    The classified paper, dated April 1971, suggested the Government should keep the British public in the dark about what EEC membership means predicting that it would take 30 years for voters to realise what was happening by which time it would be too late to leave.

    That last detail was the only thing the disgraceful paper – prepared for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) – got wrong.

    The unknown author – a senior civil servant – correctly predicted the then European Economic Community (the EEC effectively became the EU in 1993) was headed for economic, monetary and fiscal union, with a common foreign and defence policy, which would constitute the greatest surrender of Britain’s national sovereignty since 1066.

    He went on to say “Community law” would take precedence over our own courts and that ever more power would pass away from Parliament to the bureaucratic system centred in Brussels.

    The author even accurately asserts that the increased role of Brussels in the lives of the British people would lead to a “popular feeling of alienation from Government”.

    But shockingly politicians were advised “not to exacerbate public concern by attributing unpopular measures… to the remote and unmanageable workings of the Community”.

    They were told to preserve the impression that the British Government was still calling the shots rather than an unelected body of foreign politicians – and that the ruse would last “for this century at least” – by which time Britain would be so completely chained to Brussels it would be impossible to leave.

    Document FCO30/1048, which has now been declassified under the 30-year rule, still shocks and angers Brexiteers.

    Annabelle Sanderson, a Brexit expert and former advisor to Nigel Farage said: “Despite all the claims from politicians of many parties that the EU was not about becoming a central state this 1971 document shows that is exactly what the plan was.

    “Arch Remoaners from Labour, Lib Dems and the Tories need to check this out and ask themselves why they are MPs if they don’t actually want Westminster to be in charge of this country.

    “We voted for Brexit what needs to happen is a proper clean break from Brussels so we can once again become a sovereign nation with money being spent in this country on services we need and have Parliament and courts making and ruling on the laws.”

    The writer and journalist Christopher Booker, one of the founders of the satirical magazine Private Eye, said: “Here was a civil servant advising that our politicians should connive in concealing what Heath was letting us in for, not least in hiding the extent to which Britain would no longer be a democratic country but one essentially governed by unelected and unaccountable officials.

    “One way to create an illusion that this system was still democratic, this anonymous mandarin suggested, would be to give people the chance to vote for new representatives at European, regional and local levels.

    “A few years later, we saw the creation of an elected European Parliament – as we see today a craze for introducing elected mayors, as meaningless local figureheads.”

    The pro-Europe Sir Edward Heath was leader of the Conservative Party from 1965 to 1975.

    He died in 2005.

    In 2015 he was named as part of Wiltshire Police’s Operation Conifer investigation into historical child sex abuse.

    Detectives said if alive – he would have been 101 – he would have been interviewed under caution over seven claims, including the alleged rape of an 11-year-old, but that no inference of guilt should be drawn from this.

    Operation Conifer was closed earlier this year after officers found “no corroborating evidence” of any sexual abuse by Sir Edward and no evidence of a conspiracy.”

  21. UK MEP rails against ‘intolerant Left’ for trying to SHUT DOWN opposing views (express, Nov 22, 2017)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/882889/EU-Europe-Ukip-European-Union-Brussels-left-politics-right-Patrick-OFlynn-MEP-UK

    “A UKIP MEP railed against a “deeply troubling trend” from left-wingers in UK politics saying they are trying to silence opposing views.

    Patrick O’Flynn told the European Parliament expressing opinion “must not become a crime” despite the Left’s refusal to accept differing opinions.

    Speaking to a Committee on Culture and Education in Brussels, the Ukip politician added there was an aim to make those on the Right “invisible”.

    He said: “In Britain, as in much of Europe, incitement to violence is a crime and rightly so but expressing an opinion is not and must not become one.

    “There is a deeply troubling trend on the left in politics not to take on competing views in open debate but instead to seek to delegitimise their very expression and render them invisible.

    “It must not be allowed to succeed.”

    Mr O’Flynn has blasted “hollow” European Union chief leaders saying their attitude to Brexit is a “disgrace”.

    He said the European Commission would rather “harm” other European Union member states than be “constructive” in Brexit talks.

    Speaking in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Mr O’Flynn labelled the Brussels bloc “unconfident” and unable to let an “unwilling participant” leave but added there was nothing it could do to stop the process.

    He said: “The commission’s attitude to the wishes of the British people to leave the EU has been a disgrace.

    “You would apparently rather harm other European nations by placing trade in peril than meet your own obligations to be constructive.

    “If you were truly confident about what the EU has to offer, you would be content to let go an unwilling participant in the process of ever closer union.

    “But instead you wish to punish us to discourage the others. Poles and Hungarians dismayed by migration bullying, Greeks and Italians disgusted by the consequences of monetary union.””

    Swedish woman raped by refugee commits suicide after prosecutor claims “lack of evidence”
    A Swedish woman who was raped by a Syrian refugee in March this year has committed suicide. The horrible news was made public by Swedish investigative journalist Joakim Magnus Lamotte.

    Angelica Wiktor, the 30-year-old victim. Via Facebook – Joakim Magnus Lamotte
    The woman chose to end her life by overdosing on her medication; she felt devastated in aftermath of her violent rape and the failure to prosecute the perpetrator exacerbated her sense of low worth. She was raped in her own apartment during the evening and according to involved Swedish investigative journalist Lamotte she reportedly told police:

    “Her neighbour, Adnan, together with his friend Samir [not their real names], came to her apartment late one evening in spring. Because Angelica had taken sleeping pills, she is unsure about the exact timing, but she remembers Adnan pushing her into the bedroom, using violence to force her on her bed and holding her down and raping her. The experience is extra painful because Angelica has inserted a tampon, that is now pushed so far inside of her, that she can’t get it out normally the next day. While she is being raped, Samir is somewhere in the apartment.“ [sic]

    Lamotte’s investigative reporting shows that the police and the prosecutor in making their decision ignored some of the evidence. For example, there were opportunities to analyse the DNA in the woman’s apartment and in addition she had ‘assault related bruises’.

    During the police interrogation Samir even admitted that he and Adnan were in Angelica’s apartment; however the prosecutor in Sweden chose to close the case citing a “lack of evidence”.

    https://voiceofeurope.com/2017/11/swedish-woman-raped-by-migrant/

    (Lamote writes on his Facebook (Joakim Lamotte) that the prosecutor in this case, Yvonne Rudinsson, “decided to initially wait for analysis of the samples and then completely refrain from analysis. This means that no analysis has been performed by the samples…. This new information means that the prosecutor made the decision to terminate Angelica Wiktor’s rape report without having access to either DNA or gynecological results.
    Gynecology and seizure of evidence were made March 7 this year. Angelica Wiktor was declared dead on June 19th. Officially, the investigation was released on July 7, but considering what Angelica wrote on Facebook, she probably got indications of this before.”

  23. ISIS Opens Sex-Slave Market in Turkey’s Capital

    https://clarionproject.org/isis-opens-sex-slave-market-turkeys-capital/

    You may think ISIS’ demise in Iraq and Syria would mean an end to its sex-slave trading, but a new report says Islamic State has merely transferred its slave business into Turkey – including a market in Turkey’s capital Ankara. This means ISIS is involved in the slavery industry in a European country.

    During its years of power in parts of Iraq and Syria, ISIS held slave markets both in private and public. With its loss of power, Islamic State began smuggling Yazidi women across the border into Turkey. It imprisoned them with ISIS families it had shifted from Iraq and Syria into Turkey previous to the major losses in territory.

    ISIS is also said to be negotiating with the close relatives of these women to release them after years of captivity, torture and sexual slavery. The ransoms are believed to amount to thousands of dollars, which for many Yazidi families are sums they simply cannot afford.

    It is understood that when the families don’t meet the ransom demands, ISIS sells the women to the highest bidders.

    • MEMRI TV – “Wife Must Not Leave Home Without Husband’s Permission, Must Be Available for Sex”

      Throughout the month of Ramadhan, Shiite Iraqi scholar Taleb Khozaei delivered lectures at the Hussainayet Ale Yassin Mosque in Sydney, Australia on the duties of the wife toward her husband. In a May 31 sermon, he said that “one of the most important duties of women is to obey their husbands” and that she must obtain his permission to step out of her home or to use his money.

      In a June 8 sermon, Khozaei said, citing a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, that the wife must make herself available for sex with her husband whenever he wants, “even if she is riding a camel,” and that “one of the goals of marriage is to rein in the [husband’s] sexual urges.” The sermons were posted on the mosque’s YouTube channel.

  24. Padua, Italy
    9 year old child was married to 35 year old man. Child is enrolled in elementary school. Her husband did not wait for the age of majority but violated her several times. It became so bad that she started hemorrhaging and had to go to hospital. . She also told doctors in hospital about abuses and violence. The media reported that the prosecutor immediately opened a file against the “husband”, accusing him of violence to a minor. However after a day of verbal attacks against investigators from all sides investigators now deny the opening of prosecution file, they also deny fact that the child was accommodated in in one of the rooms set up in the provincial command of Padua specifically for cases of maltreatment/domestic abuse.

  25. Soros Defends Sarsour
    The Soros network’s campaign for an anti-Semite.
    November 22, 2017

    After Hurricane Harvey hit, Islamist activist Linda Sarsour put out a call for donations. But instead of the money going to hurricane victims, it was actually being directed to the Texas Organizing Project Education Fund. TOP is a spinoff of ACORN, a disgraced organization shut down in the wake of scandals involving embezzlement and internal cover-ups, and was backed by Hungarian anti-Semitic billionaire George Soros who continues to invest his ill-gotten wealth into a war against the Jewish State.

    Soros has blamed Jews for anti-Semitism and described his period as a Nazi collaborator as the “most exciting time of my life.” He claims to have grown up in a “Jewish, anti-Semitic home” and called his mother a “typical Jewish anti-Semite” who hated his first wife because she was “too Jewish”. He has written an article insisting that, “America and Israel must open the door to Hamas.”

    As controversy mounts over Sarsour’s appearance on a panel denying the existence of leftist and Islamist anti-Semitism, especially among activists waging a campaign of hate against Israel, her defenders are recycling a letter by “Jewish leaders” defending the anti-Semitic Islamist activist.

  26. Images of Israeli citizen inside the Prophet’s mosque spark social media outrage

    Images posted by an Israeli man inside Medina Prophet’s Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest sites, has invited the anger of Arab people. The images were posted on Facebook by Ben Tzion, an Israeli citizen, during his trip to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Jordan. The move of Ben Tzion has not gone well with Islamic believers in Arabian countries, and they lashed out against Tzion on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

    In one of his Facebook post, Ben Tzion said that people in Saudi Arabia would stand with Israel side by side. In another post, Tzion lauded the love and affection of people in the middle east countries and added that they are the messengers of peace.

    According to Ben Tzion, he visited Islamic religious places as a part of his respect towards other faiths and beliefs. “No-one in the Arab world ever approached me with hostility. They tell me they love Israel and the Jewish people,” Tzion told the Times of Israel.

    On the other hand, Islamic believers in Arab countries claim that non-Muslims are not allowed to enter Mecca and other sacred parts of Medina. But Tzion denied these claims and made it clear that Medina is open to the public.

    According to some extreme Islamic believers, Zionists are the real enemies of Islam, and it is practically impossible to accept a Jewish person entering the most sacred place in Islam. In the meantime, an Arabic hashtag which means ‘A Zionist at the Prophet’s mosque’ has gone viral, and it has fetched more than 90,000 tweets within 24 hours.

    Interestingly, Ben Tzion has also posted some images captured from the Iranian cities of Tehran and Qom. As Israel and Iran are arch rivals, citizens of the Jewish state are not allowed to visit Iran. It is still unclear how Tzion traveled to Iran with an Israeli passport.

    Will Tzion’s visit destabilize the relation between Saudi Arabia and Israel?

    The new controversy has been triggered at a time when relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel are growing positively in the past couple of years due to their opposition towards Tehran’s growing influence in the region.

    Recently, a top Israeli army chief has said that the country is ready to share confidential military intelligence information with Saudi Arabia. We should wait and see to know whether Tzion’s visit will create any negative impacts on the relationship between Saudi and Israel.

  27. DOJ to Denaturalize Mexican, Colombian and Nigerian Child Molesters
    November 22, 2017

    Denaturalization is a basic tool. Unfortunately it’s used all too rarely to remove the citizenship of people who should never have had it in the first place. Obama Inc. weaponized it, as it did everything else. But Attorney General Sessions is denaturalizing child molesters who failed to disclose their convictions.

    • Migrant Crisis-Hit Italy Sees Half of Citizens ‘Feel Like Strangers in Their Own Country’ (breitbart,Nov 22, 2017)
      http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/11/22/migrant-crisis-italians-half-strangers-own-country/

      “People across the West increasingly feel like they are “strangers” in their home countries, with Italy leading the pack.

      Ipsos Mori research, cited by Chatham House fellow Matthew Goodwin, notes that some 49 per cent of Italians — who have borne the brunt of the migrant crisis recently — agree with the statement: “These days I feel like a stranger in my country.”

      Since an expensive and not always entirely effective deal between the European Union and Turkey brought the so-called Eastern Mediterranean Route into Greece under some semblance of control, Italy found itself becoming ground zero for the migrant crisis.

      Tens of thousands of boat-borne illegal migrants — transported by people-smugglers linked to terror groups and organised crime, aided and abetted by EU and EU member-state ships, as well as so-called “rescue” ships operated by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) — began travelling to Italy.

      Initial landfall is often made on islands such as Lampedusa and Sicily before onward travel to the mainland and northern Europe. The former is reportedly in a state of near collapse, while the latter has seen ultra-violent heroin and prostitution gangs taking an increasingly tight grip on its nightlife.

      Research in September 2017 found that seven Italians in 10 think the country has too many migrants, while recent regional elections in Sicily saw eurosceptic-leaning, populist parties oust the establishment Democratic Party with a huge majority…”

  28. Soros-Linked NGO Demands EU Accept 540,000 Migrants From ‘Poor Countries’ (breitbart, Nov 22, 2017)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/11/22/soros-ngo-demands-eu-540000-migrants/

    “European Union (EU) nations should take more than half a million refugees currently living in third world camps, according to an open borders NGO with close links to globalist billionaire George Soros.

    In an interview with EUobserver on Monday, Chairman of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) David Miliband said Europe has two choices: accept massive illegal immigration, or create routes enabling the world’s poorest people to migrate legally.

    The former British foreign secretary announced he is pressing Brussels to resettle 540,000 refugees in Europe over five years, a number far larger than the 50,000 migrants the European Commission announced in September is to be delivered to EU nations from Africa over the next two years.

    “The point is that the vast bulk of refugees are in poor countries, not in European countries,” he said, noting that most are living in camps close to their homelands.

    Speaking at a Guardian Live event promoting his new book on Sunday, Miliband told the audience: “We rescue refugees, we rescue ourselves.

    “Either [Europe] stands up for its values and its place in the multilateral system or it sees the system whither around her,” he said.

    The IRC chief’s intervention into the debate over third world migration to Europe comes as left-wing political donor George Soros accused the Hungarian government of lying about him in its national consultation on immigration.

    “The statements … contain distortions and outright lies that deliberately mislead Hungarians about George Soros’s views on migrants and refugees,” said a statement issued by the billionaire financier’s Open Society Foundations.

    Hungary’s assertion that Soros wants Brussels to resettle at least one million immigrants per year onto European Union territory was marked “false”, in the statement, which pointed to an op-ed penned by the arch-globalist last year, which said the EU should make a “commitment to admit even a mere 300,000 refugees annually”.

    But this fails to take into account the vast amount of money spent by Soros on NGOs and other organisations working to promote open borders for Europe, and helping migrants reach the continent.

    The IRC is one such organisation, not only receiving funding from the Open Society Foundations, but was also selected by Soros as one of the bodies working to “create principles” guiding the Hungarian billionaire’s $500 million “investment” in migrant-related initiatives that he announced last year.

    As Breitbart London reported in September, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán denounced the mass migration agenda aggressively pushed by Soros’s “Open Society” network as a means to eradicate Europe’s cultures and Christian identity.

    “The Soros network has an extensive sphere of influence within the European Parliament and other EU bodies,” Orbán said, stating that the network aims “to build a Europe of mixed population and to condemn the Hungarian government for opposing their view on migration”.

    Earlier that month, Soros transferred $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations to ensure his activism — which, as well as seeking to tear down borders in Western nations, also aims to disempower police and “mobilise” ethnic minorities against the interests of indigenous Europeans — continues after the 87-year-old’s death.”

    The Palestinians are once again angry — this time because the Trump administration does not seem to have endorsed their position regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Palestinians are also angry because they believe that the Trump administration does not want to force Israel to comply with all their demands.

    Here is how the Palestinians see it: If you are not with us, then you must be against us. If you do not accept all our demands, then you must be our enemy and we cannot trust you to play the role of an “honest” broker in the conflict with Israel.

    Last week, unconfirmed reports once again suggested that the Trump administration has been working on a comprehensive plan for peace in the Middle East. The full details of the plan remain unknown at this time.

    However, what is certain — according to the reports — is that the plan does not meet all of the Palestinians’ demands. In fact, no peace plan — by Americans or any other party — would be able to provide the Palestinians with everything for which they are asking.

    Hafiz Saeed was put under house arrest in January after years of living freely in Pakistan, one of the sore points in its fraying relationship with the United States. His freedom had also infuriated its arch-foe India.

No matter what they’ve done, and I’m not defending any of their conduct, but all of it wasn’t bad – but all I’m saying is expanding the vote and eliminating structural barriers is critical,” Conyers said at this month’s annual Legislative & Policy Conference organized by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) on Capitol Hill.

    “It’s not an exaggeration to say that we’re in a battle for the soul of this nation. What we do is going to affect, not only us, but a lot of people around the world,” he added. “And every day in the courts and in Congress, issues are raised to determine what it means to be an American and what your rights are. Well, we want all of our rights, not some of them.”

  34. Unsealed Fusion GPS Bank Records Show Russia-Related Payments

    A federal court on Tuesday finally unsealed Fusion GPS’ bank records, revealing new details about payments made to the opposition research firm behind the unverified Steele dossier. The docs also confirm that Fusion GPS made payments to three journalists known to have reported on Russia issues.

    The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has been fighting in court for weeks to access documents that show payments to the journalists between June 2016 and February 2017.

    Judge Richard Leon, a Bush appointee, ruled last week in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., that the records be unsealed.

    The Daily Caller reported that the documents list 112 transactions involving Fusion GPS — most of which were redacted.

    The records show that two law firms — Perkins Coie and BakerHostetler — paid Fusion GPS more than $1.5 million last year for services on separate Russia-related projects. Perkins Coie represented the Clinton campaign and DNC’s anti-Trump research efforts, while BakerHostetler represented Prevezon Holdings and its owner, Russian businessman Denis Katsyv, who were trying to get the Magnitsky Act repealed.
