    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/17/inspectors-muslim-schools-racist-paedophiles/

    “Extremists have tried to intimidate Britain’s schools watchdog over its crackdown on unregistered Muslim schools, where inspectors were called “Britain First paedophiles”.

    Ofsted boss Amanda Spielman revealed that inspectors at one of the regulator’s regional offices have been forced to take additional security measures after they were were repeatedly sent radical Islamic literature.

    The chief inspector of schools accused a “mixture of Islamic extremists and the hard left” of using threats and intimidation to halt Ofsted’s attempts to crack down on hardline elements of Islam in schools in England and Wales…”

  2. Sweden Forced to Raise Retirement Age To Pay For Mass Immigration Policy (breitbart, Dec 17, 2017)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/17/sweden-raise-retirement-age-pay-mass-migration-population-growth/

    “The increasing costs of population growth in Sweden, driven almost entirely mass migration, have forced the government to seriously consider raising the national retirement age to pay for the additional costs.

    Swedish Socialist party Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson announced that the retirement age would likely be raised in the near future in order to offset increased welfare costs, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports.

    “Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.

    The minister made her remarks following an economic report from the Local Authorities and County Council (SKL) released earlier this week. The report claimed that the welfare state would grow faster than revenue obtained through taxation due to the dramatic rise of Sweden’s population…”

  3. A group of Muslim students – attending a Christian University – are upset that the school focuses too much on Christmas.

    Loyola University Chicago, a private, Catholic school puts up all sorts of religious decorations around Christmas. Wreaths, trees and manger scenes. It’s a school with a Christian focus, where 60 percent of students identify as Roman Catholic and the vast majority of the rest are some other Christian denomination.

  4. If it is so shitty in Germany , why are you still here? “:Clear spoken judge can hardly save himself from fan mail

    Stephan Zantke is currently possibly the most famous magistrate in Germany. The reason: in a trial judge addressed a defendant with the words “If it’s so shitty here, why are you still here?”

    The man, a Libyan, was in court because he had insulted a cashier in a supermarket as a “Nazi whore” and “Hitler’s bitch.” A witness also said that he said something like “shitty Germany”. At the district court Zwickau, in the verdict of the judge adressed the defendant with these words “if it is so shitty [in Germany], why are you still here?”, then sentenced the man to two and a half years in prison.

    According to a media report, judge now gets a lot of encouragement for the plain text saying. At the district court received “permanent” thank you letters from all parts of Germany, said a spokeswoman for the newspaper “Free Press”. She stressed that the verdict would have been just as if the culprit was German……

  6. UK terror CRACKDOWN: Extra £50 MILLION investment for police to help WIPE OUT terrorism (express, Dec 17, 2017)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/893501/counter-terror-funding-amber-rudd-phlip-hammond-london-manchester

    “POLICE forces across the country are being given an extra £50million in funding to help the fight against terrorism.

    The extra cash with help stretched police forces boost their intelligence capabilities and pay officers to patrol the city centres.

    Chancellor Philip Hammond, stuck a deal with Home Secretary Amber Rudd to raise the home office budget from £707million to £757million next year.

    Labour had claimed cuts were putting national security at risk and Jeremy Corbyn criticised the Tories in the run up to the General election for cutting the number of police officer on the streets.

    Government spending on counter terror has increased by 30 per cent since 2015, including an extra £500million for MI5, GCHQ and the SAS.

    Amber Rudd and Philip Hammond told The Sun: “This represents our commitment to backing the brave counter-terrorism forces with the resources they need to keep people safe.”

    They added; “The first responsibility of government is to keep our country and its citizens safe.

    “It is also to protect our way of life and our values.

    “Next week, we will set out a comprehensive settlement for frontline police forces and counter terrorism policing that will ensure our services are fully fit for purpose and delivering for the country.”

    The rise in funding follows British security services thwarting nine terror attacks on home soil since March…”

    • Terrorism is a military and political tactic, you can’t wipe it out. I think the schools give journalism students something that prevents them from using their brains.

  7. Alabama State Police have arrested three women in Birmingham for allowing more than 3000 invalid votes for Doug Jones to processed through the polling station they had volunteered to operate. The State Attorney’s Division of Integrity in Elections is calling the acts of the women a “blatant disregard for the duties of civil servants, a violation of the public trust and a 2nd-degree felony.”

  8. The national radio station Sveriges Radio has uncovered a large network of false asylum story sellers, who make it easier to acquire residence in Sweden.

    “I was rejected and feared deportation back to Iran. Then I heard that there are people who can help with asylum.” Said the buyer of one of those stories, ‘Hamid’.

    “I was able to find a regime-critical blog that had been active for several years. I had to take it over and then they helped me to update it as if it had always been me.”

    With the help of this false story, ‘Hamid’ was granted a residence permit.

  9. Saudi academic defends Trump’s Jerusalem move, saying Arabs should accept Israel’s ‘historic right’ (alaraby, Dec 17, 2017)
    https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/blog/2017/12/17/arabs-must-accept-israels-right-to-jerusalem-saudi-academic

    “A Saudi academic has defended the controversial US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and called on Arabs to “accept” Israel’s claims to the holy city.

    Abdulhameed Hakeem, the head of the Middle East Center for Strategic and Legal Studies in Jeddah, made the remarks on US-based al-Hurra Arabic-language TV channel on Saturday.

    “The decision will prompt a positive shock towards moving the stagnant water surrounding negotiations,” Hakeem said.

    “Us, as Arabs, have to come an understanding with the other side and know what its demands are so that we can succeed in peace negotiation efforts,” he said.

    Hakeem’s comments come after President Donald Trump announced earlier this month that the US would break with international consensus and move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel.

    The Saudi royal court has slammed Trump’s announcement as “unjustified and irresponsible” but has been muted in its criticism of the move since.

    It has led many to ask where Riyadh stands on the issue.

    “We have to admit and realise that Jerusalem is a religious symbol for the Jews that is just as holy for them as Mecca and Medina are for Muslims,” Hakeem said.

    “Arab mentality must free itself from the heritage of Gamal Abdel Nasser and political Islam of both the Sunni and Shia sects, which has instilled for purely political interests the culture of hating Jews and denying their historic right in the region.”

    Hakeem’s comments have prompted angry responses on social media and many Twitter users have harshly condemned what they consider an appeal for the “normalisation of relations” with Israel.

    Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates’ deep distrust of Shia power Iran is shared with Israel and has helped thaw relations.

    Saudi Arabia denies it has any official relations with Israel, despite a deluge of recent reports claiming rapprochement between the two states.

    Israel seized control of the eastern part of Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and sees the whole of Jerusalem as its undivided capital, something not accepted by the international community.

    The Palestinians view the east as the capital of their future state, according to the 1993 Oslo Accords, but Trump’s move puts this hope in serious jeopardy.”

    • >>>> but Trump’s move puts this hope in serious jeopardy.
      The truth:
      which Trump’s move also supports.
      I wonder if the Trump’s whole speech was broadcast in the Arab world.

  12. Minnesota judge VACATES prior court orders after Minnesota journalist provides audio evidence of CIA/FBI baby sales
    Damning audio evidence is now PUBLIC RECORD
    by Timothy Charles Holmseth on December 16, 2017, 10:47 A.M. CST
    The introduction of audio evidence regarding CIA/FBI baby sales and international fake adoptions has resulted in a Minnesota judge vacating prior orders against a journalist that was targeted by an organized group that used the Minnesota Family court to keep him quiet.
    In July, 2017, Timothy Charles Holmseth filed a MOTION TO VACATE in the 9th Minnesota Judicial District that began:
    PETITIONER brings this MOTION TO VACATE because NEW EVIDENCE that was not available at the time of trial shows adverse parties within Minnesota law enforcement and the larger interstate judicial community, criminally and civilly conspired with agents of a private corporation that received support from the U.S. Military to strategically create life-threatening conflict in the life of Parties’ minor child REDACTED; conflict that would be used to justify court actions against Plaintiff’s constitutional rights for the illegal purpose of protecting a criminal enterprise of child sex trafficking and child pornography.

  14. The sun is blank, NASA data shows it to be dimming
    Anthony Watts / 2 days ago December 15, 2017

    As the sun gets successively more blank with each day, due to lack of sunspots, it is also dimming. According to data from NASA’s Spaceweather, so far in 2017, 96 days (27%) of the days observing the sun have been without sunspots. Here is the view today from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite:

    Today at Cape Canaveral, SpaceX launched a new sensor to the International Space Station named TSIS-1. Its mission: to measure the dimming of the sun’s irradiance. It will replace the aging SORCE spacecraft. NASA SDO reports that as the sunspot cycle plunges toward its 11-year minimum, NASA satellites are tracking a decline in total solar irradiance (TSI).

    Across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the sun’s output has dropped nearly 0.1% compared to the Solar Maximum of 2012-2014. This plot shows the TSI since 1978 as observed from nine previous satellites:
