Where is Europe heading? The Project 28 Survey in 2018
Illegal immigration remains a very serious problem facing Europeans:
78% of respondents are worried about illegal immigration in their counties, while more than two-thirds of the survey participants are afraid that African immigrants will arrive to Europe in masses in the next decade.
The perception if migration has also changed, with more and more people believing that the majority of migrants come to Europe for economic reasons and state benefits.
Residents of the EU continue to believe that migration has a significant impact:
The majority of people believe that immigration increases crime and the threat of terrorism, while changing European culture and posing a huge burden on receiving countries. They also believe it sets back the EU´s economy.
Most of Europe is dissatisfied with Brussels handling of the immigrant crisis. People in most member states believe that central and Eastern European countries have handled the migration crisis better than Brussels.
The EU´s quota plan continues to divide the continent:
While it is largely supported by western countries, societies in the east of Europe are opposed to the quota plan to distribute recent immigrants throughout Europe. A majority of EU´s population would rather help the immigrants in their home countries.
A general sense of fear remains among people in Europe in the wake of terrorist attacks. Overall, 82% of people think there is a chance that a terrorist attack similar to what happened in Paris, in Brussels or in Berlin could happen in their country. The rapid population growth of Muslims in Europe is also considered a serious threat to the continent.

Third Mexican town welcomes migrant ‘caravan,’ 400 miles closer to US
A caravan of some 1,500 Latin American migrants, welcomed into Mexico on their 1,900-mile trek to the United States where they plan to demand asylum, was welcomed by a third Mexican town 400 miles into their journey.
On Facebook, organizer Pueblo Sin Fronteras wrote, “Thanks to the community Matias Romero for his solidarity with the caravan viacrusis migrants in the fight.”

This is the North American version of the Islamic Invasion of Europe, George Soros and his group are working to take down the US borders (what the Obama administration left of them) and to bring enough illegal immigrants into the US to collapse the US welfare and judicial system. The difference is this intifada is occurring while the vast majority of the States allow concealed (and open) carry of firearms and most have some type of both Castle and Stand Your Ground laws.
I predict that the vast majority of the invaders that reach the US and are allowed in will go to the states that don’t allow carrying firearms and who don’t believe in self defense.
These caravans seem to come every few months. The size is reported as fewer. The previous one included Mezicans from Michuacan (State). This one is Central Americans who plan to ask for asylum.

The outfits that are forming the caravans are just getting organized and learning how to bring large numbers of people to the border. Worked right this would be a massive blow to the rule of law and to border security. Hopefully the wall we be built before they learn what they are doing.
The Central American Caravan
…This seems to be a new take on the Moroccan “Green March” of 1975 used against Spain in the Western Sahara. The idea is defy the superior armed Western power to use force against a “popular” march which seeks only some altruistic goal. Very touching. You will notice these sorts of tactics are not used against certain countries known to shoot without compunction.…
…Mexico has over fifty diplomatic and consular missions in the United States; Honduras has about dozen missions here. All of these, the Mexican ones especially, are centers of political and immigration activism. The Mexicans, as I have noted before, have been quite open in their meddling in our internal affairs, including in the last elections.…
We need to tell these governments in no uncertain terms that we intend to shut down half of their missions immediately, and will shut down others in accordance with their behavior. We, furthermore, need to tell them that we will cease issuing visas, and even shut the border to normal trade and tourism if these sorts of officially tolerated and sponsored events occur.
This is no joke. Serious as a heart attack.

David Miliband calls on EU to allow half a million refugees to resettle in Europe (express, Apr 3, 2018)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/940730/Immigration-David-Miliband-refugee-resettlement-eu-migrant-crisis-latest-UK
“DAVID Miliband urged the European Union to stop “playing catch up” with the refugee crisis and step up its efforts to tackle it by bringing in half a million refugees over the next five years, a proposal likely to anger many EU state members.
International Rescue Committee (IRC) chairman Mr Miliband’s proposal would see the number of people welcomed across the bloc raised by almost ten per cent every year.
The move could see Britain take in 15,000 refugees a year, almost twice the number of people it resettled in 2017 (6,859).
Former Labour MP, Mr Miliband said: “It’s doubling from a very low number to another very low number.
“In Britain the number of refugees coming in [each year through the resettlement programme for vulnerable Syrian refugees] is the equivalent of six per parliamentary constituency.
“No one’s going to tell me that my former constituency of South Shields is going to be overwhelmed by six refugees.
EU state members such as Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, will likely protest against this increase, as last year they refused to participate in a programme that relocated refugees arrived on the Greek and Italian shores.
Their opposition led to the EU launching a legal case against them.
Under the target proposed by Mr Miliband, the EU would take in 108,000 refugees every year for five years from communities in countries such as Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon.
All countries would be required to set a target proportionate to their GDP and population for refugee resettlement.
Europe, said Mr Miliband, should “become a proactive player” in dealing with the migrant crisis after it had played “catch up” with it over the past few years.
He said: “Europe needs to recognise that this refugee crisis around the world is not going away and Europe needs to have a proactive policy which includes the option of refugee resettlement for a portion of the most vulnerable who are identified as qualifying for refugee resettlement”.
The IRC chairman said that the refugee crisis worsened following President Donald Trump announced last year it would slash the US resettlement target.
The US, who had traditionally taken the highest number of refugees through resettlement programmes of any other country in the world, will cut its target by more than half, from 110,000 places in 2017 to a maximum of 45,000 places in 2018.
The number of refugees successfully resettled worldwide dropped last year, when about a third of the migrants (65,000) were resettled worldwide compared to 2016 (189,300).
The EU provided resettlement places for 23,000 refugees, around 1.9 per cent of those eligible.
The new target put forward by the IRC would see 9 per cent of eligible refugees be resettled.
The EU parliament has recently called for a similar target, proposing to the bloc to bring in 230,000 refugees over two years.
The target is currently under negotiation between the European parliament and the council.
Around 1.2 million out of the 22.5 million refugees around the world are considered in need of resettlement because they are sole parents caring for children, are victims of torture, have severe disabilities or are vulnerable for other reasons, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimated.
Each year between 5-6 per cent of eligible people are resettled.”

Clouds form over Iran deal as Trump deadline nears
Dark clouds are forming over the Iran nuclear deal as the calendar marches toward a May 12 deadline set by President Trump to improve the accord or see the United States effectively withdraw from it.
When Trump extended Iran’s sanctions relief in January, he pledged it would be the last time unless European allies agree to a supplemental deal to fix what the president sees as the fundamental problems with the nuclear pact negotiated by the Obama administration.
And while negotiations with the Europeans are ongoing, hopes for a solution are increasingly fading.

As China tightens squeeze, soul searching for Hong Kong’s democracy movement
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong’s once thriving pro-democracy movement, weighed down by growing pessimism among its supporters over China’s ever-increasing control in the city, is facing a crisis of confidence about its future.
As China tightens its grip on Hong Kong, pro-democracy parties have been hit by the sidelining of key leaders and have been losing ground to a well-organized pro-Beijing camp.
Those troubles hit home last month, when the democrats suffered an electoral setback in a key legislative by-election, winning only two of three seats they were expected to take easily.
Critically, many supporters stayed home – and some switched sides to protest what they said were the confrontational tactics of pro-democracy groups.
“The opposition always argues for the sake of argument,” said one democracy supporter who gave her name as Feng. In frustration, she cast her ballot for a pro-Beijing candidate in the March 11 election

China’s Xi tells Zimbabwe president they should write ‘new chapter’ in ties
April 3, 2018
BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday told President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe that they should work towards a new chapter in ties, during the African leader’s first state visit to China since he seized power last year.
Mnangagwa, who was sworn in as president in November after a de facto military coup ended Robert Mugabe’s 37-year rule, has vowed to rebuild his country’s ravaged economy and re-engage with the international community.
China had considered Mugabe a “good friend” in a relationship dating back to its support for Zimbabwe’s independence war, but pointedly failed to support him when he was ousted.
“I’m willing to work with Mr President to jointly map out our future cooperation and write a new chapter in China-Zimbabwe relations for the benefit of our two peoples,” Xi said, during a meeting in Beijing.
China has growing interest in investing in Africa’s natural resources and has poured more than $100 billion into roads, railways, mines, powerlines and factories on the continent over the last decade.

The overt politics of the ‘migrant caravan’ in Mexico
By J.E. Dyer April 3, 2018
The fame of the migrant caravan making its way through Mexico has grown exponentially in the last 24 hours, with Trump tweeting about it and U.S. media across the political spectrum picking up on it.
Trump’s point about the caravan – comprising some 1,500 people at the top count so far – is that Mexico is basically helping it move along in its slow progress toward the U.S. border.
Beyond that, the president has made no special points about the caravan. To the extent that Trump’s tweets are the reason people know about things, that’s both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because there’s little in the way of unfortunately-worded implications from POTUS to unpack. It’s a curse because there’s more to know, and it’s important.
The biggest thing to know is that the caravan is a political stunt, which has been organized annually since 2008 by an activist group, Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People without Borders), run by Irineo Mujica Arzate. Pueblo Sin Fronteras opposes national borders and the conventional perquisites of national sovereignty. Mr. Mujica Arzate is a Mexican citizen with permanent U.S. residency in Minnesota.

Mexico has reportedly already deported as many as 400 of the Central Americans who originally entered last week (see next link), and it isn’t clear precisely how many are still headed north.
As of 1 April, about 400 of the 1,100-1,500 in the caravan had just boarded a freight train in the southern state of Oaxaca, intending to ride it (i.e., illegally) toward the U.S. border. Another 700 were to continue by whatever means they could manage, at least as far as Puebla, near Mexico City. Reportedly, towns along the route are providing buses to help the migrant caravan move along to the next town – i.e., to get them out of the local public spaces and ensure they are someone else’s problem.
https://libertyunyielding.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Mexico-caravan-map.jpg
the organizers, who make up a lot of the number in a typical year, have political goals – and they intend to use the often-desperate migrants to achieve them. This is what resonated with the anti-borders ideologues:
It’s almost like they’re not bringing people to the U.S. so the people can have a better life, but so that the activists can create a radical anti-borders “movement” in U.S. detention centers.
They usually just go to Tijuana, but may try this year to mount a more diffuse effort to get people into detention centers (i.e., in New Mexico and Arizona), there to continue building a transnational refugee movement: holding hunger strikes, issuing demands, eyeing future mobilizations, and otherwise setting the stage for movement-solidarity symposia with lawyers and activists on the migrant trail in 2019.
Trump’s bombast provokes exposure of what the activists – like Pueblo Sin Fronteras and their Via Crucis del Migrante – are really trying to do. And it robs them of the ability to fly under the radar, pretending to be something they’re not.
Ultimately, I suspect the “caravan” will divert itself into nothing, because it’s obvious that it isn’t about helping people who are being persecuted by MS-13 in Central America. I’d like to see the U.S. go back to helping Central America thump MS-13 and other cartels down hard, something we backed off from under Obama. As regards the 2018 caravan, however, I expect the weird “Trump effect” will once again prevail.
She is the pro but that doesn’t mean she is always right, in fact she has pointed out (many times she can be wrong), I think the organizers of this march are after more then publicity. It may be that they are trying to organize a Marxist group of open borders supporters among the multi national group of people in the detention centers. Or it may as I think be they and others are trying to organize something like an intifada on our southern border.
We will have to wait and see what is gong to happen.
Also last year it was abt 400 people, this year it is 1500, what will it be next year? Remember the Marxist play the long game and may be letting this slowly build to a movement that will really hurt the US.
Hold the line.
Here.
Now.
We stop it now or we end up like Europe.

Ethnic Profiling Still in Place in Finland Despite Ban – Research (sputniknews, Apr 3, 2018)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201804031063168877-finland-ethnic-profiling-ban/
“Police and security guards in Finland still target individuals based on their ethnicity though national legislation prohibits ethnic profiling, a research by Helsinki University’s Swedish School of Social Sciences published on Tuesday said.
The three-year study “The Stopped – Spaces, Meanings and Practices of Ethnic Profiling” showed that ethnic minorities were more often stopped and checked for identification by police and security officers than the ethnic-Finnish majority population.
Ethnic profiling is mostly practiced by police during immigration and traffic control or searches for criminal suspects. However, private security guards also apply such practices, the study noted.
The study stressed that ethnic profiling went against The Aliens Act which prohibits the practice.
The study also concluded that ethnic profiling undermined minorities’ trust in authorities and could result in their reluctance to address police or share information with them.
The practice may also affect ethnic minorities’ sense of belonging in Finland or their self-identification as Europeans, the report said…”

Parkland kids returning to school whine that it feels like jail; CNN feels their pain
By Howard Portnoy April 3, 2018
CNN recently changed its slogan to “Facts matter.” Nowhere has the network’s grasp of the facts been more apparent than in its coverage of the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and the aftermath. When teenagers there and at schools around the country staged a walkout, CNN was there with its cameras to record this historic “act of bravery”(?).
When the students marched through Washington and other cities to threaten members of Congress who did not support gun control, CNN was on hand again to witness “history being made.”
Now that the students are returning to the school in Parkland, Fla., this time under heightened security, CNN is there yet again, this time to sympathize and report the hardships these poor kids are being made to endure:

DNC Black Caucus Chair: ‘I’m a Former Black Panther’
The Democratic National Committee’s Black Caucus chairwoman Virgie Rollins said Saturday that she used to be a member of the Black Panther Party.
DNC vice chairman Keith Ellison was listening and appeared to notice the Republican tracker who was secretly taping the conversation. About a minute after Rollins first mentioned the Black Panthers, Ellison seems to look directly at the tracker and began whispering with someone next to him, but before the video cut off, it captured Rollins’ comments.
“I’m a former Black Panther,” Rollins said. “And when we talked about the movement, as a former Black Panther with Angela Davis and Kathleen Cleaver, it was important for us to make people understand that it was about the movement for us, educating us.”
She touted the group’s community work, including teaching and helping to feed the poor. She also invoked Martin Luther King, Jr., even though the civil rights leader took issue with the Black Panthers’ movement.

Muslim bus driver beats an elderly Jewish man in Israel for no reason.
Liberals and leftists in the West use the made up term “Islamophobia” to portray anyone who criticizes Islam as a “racist”.
They ignore the fact that Islam is an ideology that has nothing to do with race.
There is an attempt in the West to impose a sharia-blasphemy law to criminalize criticism of Islam.
Israel, like any other country, has a right to defend itself.

The much maligned British bobby has had a rum deal of late, and I’m afraid it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better, this article included. British society is spiraling into an entirely predictable and polarized future, which has flat-footed the flatfoots (flatfeet?) and their handlers in Whitehall.
To be honest, it is not the street constable at fault- after all, they can only enforce the laws in the manner in which they are trained, not to mention the brutal conflation of relentless migration and slashed funding and staff levels with which they have to suffer under. Even so, it is surprising that so much evidence of the double-standards of law enforcement in the United Kingdom has come to light so swiftly.

Does Gun Control Reduce Murder? Let’s Run The Numbers Across The World
After I thought about it, I realized the question of whether reducing guns in a society will lead to fewer murders is a testable hypothesis.
Adam Mill
By Adam Mill
APRIL 3, 2018
Watching the recent emotional speeches and marches supporting gun control, I can’t shake a question that nags me: Would we be safer with fewer guns?
Gun control advocates have an intuitive argument. Guns are an efficient way to commit murder. If we reduce the number of guns in society, we axiomatically will reduce murders.
Reducing gun violence is a desirable goal, particularly when one sees shooters mowing down children. After I thought about it, I realized the question of whether reducing guns in a society will lead to fewer murders is a testable hypothesis. You can measure gun ownership and murder rates. No two countries have the same gun laws or the same murder rates.
So I jumped on Wikipedia to answer a question: Do countries with higher murder rates have more guns, and vice versa?

More than 100 people were at the meeting to tell the council they wanted to join the Orange County lawsuit, just days after Los Alamitos became the first city in Orange County to leave their sanctuary city status behind.

Oil tanker BOMBED in Red Sea – chaos as Yemen rebels attack Saudi warship (express, Apr 3, 2018)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/940795/yemen-houthis-attack-saudi-arabia-warship-oil-tanker-red-sea
“YEMENI rebels have attacked a Saudi warship in the Red Sea, putting the Middle East on red alert.
Yemen’s Houthis rebels said they had targeted a warship in the Red Sea. However other sources say an oil tanker was hit.
Early reports indicate the ship suffered a slight hit but was able to continue on its journey through the Red Sea.
Saudi coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said Yemen rebels had launched a “terrorist attack” on one of the oil tankers.
The attack, in international waters west of the port of Hodeidah, was stopped when a warship arrived at the scene.
He said the oil tanker had suffered minor damage.
The Iran-aligned Houthi rebels said they carried out the attack in retaliation for an air strike in Yemen’s Hodeidah province.
This is a breaking story, more to follow… “
Bob Rae says Canada should take leadership role in Rohingya crisis
Special envoy to Myanmar recommends ramped-up humanitarian efforts at cost of about $150M a year
Canada should take a leadership role in responding to the Rohingya crisis by ramping up humanitarian aid and development efforts and showing a willingness to welcome refugees from the region, Bob Rae, Canada’s special envoy to Myanmar, says in his final report.
The lawyer and former interim Liberal leader makes 16 recommendations on how Canada and international allies should respond to help the Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled their homes in the Buddhist state of Myanmar. He said Canada should develop a multi-year funding plan beginning this year for a response that focuses on humanitarian assistance, education, and supporting infrastructure.
He estimates annual costs, including additional staff at headquarters and abroad, to be about $150 million for the next four years.
Rae warns that the job of protecting lives will require presence, perseverance and patience.
“There are no guarantees of success, and many lives are still in the balance,” he concludes. “But one thing is certain: if we fail to try, the results will be far worse than if we make the necessary effort.”
Nearly 700,000 Rohingya have fled western Myanmar’s Rakhine state to neighbouring Bangladesh and are now living in camps.
Rae is holding a news conference about his report at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa at 10:30 a.m. CBCNews.ca is carrying it live.

=================================================
CTV News –Canada should show willingness to take in Rohingya refugees: Rae report
Ottawa’s special envoy to Myanmar will release a report Tuesday urging Canada to express willingness to welcome Rohingya refugees and implement sanctions against those responsible for the ongoing humanitarian crisis, according to people familiar with the document.
Those sources also say that that the special envoy’s report addresses “strong signals” that crimes against humanity have been committed in the country.
Since August 2017, roughly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar’s Buddhist-majority Rakhine state for neighbouring Bangladesh amid widespread violence that the United Nations has labelled “textbook ethnic cleansing.”
In October 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named former Toronto MP and Ontario premier Bob Rae as Canada’s special envoy to Myanmar.
“It is hard to convey in words the extent of the humanitarian crisis currently being faced in Bangladesh,” Rae wrote in an interim report released in December. “In addition to accounts of shooting and military violence, I also heard directly from women of sexual violence and abuse at the hands of the Myanmar military, and the death of children and the elderly on the way to the camps.”
Although initially barred from entering Rakhine state, the epicentre of the Rohingya humanitarian crisis, Rae was able to travel to the region in February.
Sources say that Rae’s final report will recommend that Canada declare its willingness to take in Rohingya refugees from both Myanmar and Bangladesh while encouraging other countries to do the same. Such resettlements, the report purportedly states, should not be seen as a solution to the refugee crisis, nor should it diminish the Myanmar government’s duties to take responsibility for the violent exodus and aid hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees in returning home.
Rae will additionally recommend that Canada and its allies implement targeted economic sanctions against individuals, organizations and companies that have broken international humanitarian laws.
According to those familiar with the report, Rae believes that Ottawa’s response to the crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh should be considered a “litmus test” for Canada’s foreign policy. He also reportedly states that the crisis should be discussed during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London in April as well as during the 2018 G7 summit that Canada will be hosting in May.
Although Myanmar’s government has publicly expressed a willingness to resettle those who have fled the country, years of systematic violence at the hands of Myanmar security forces and Buddhist mobs means that such plans have been met with widespread skepticism by Rohingya refugees.
Many of those refugees are currently residing in sprawling and overcrowded Bangladeshi camps that threaten to be inundated with heavy rains — potentially overwhelming sanitation facilities and leading to outbreaks of water-borne diseases — during the upcoming monsoon season, which begins in May.
In addition to the more than $37.5 million in humanitarian assistance committed to the region, on March 16 the Canadian government announced an additional $8.15 million in funding for “humanitarian partners to help improve the lives of Rohingya refugees and address some of the challenges they may face in Bangladesh” during the monsoon season.

Rival Gang Deaths on UK Streets ‘A Disease’, Former Member Tells Sputnik (sputniknews, Apr 3, 2018)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201804031063173030-gang-murder-disease-london/
“London’s murder rate is under the spotlight after it emerged police investigated more homicides than New York city over the last two months.
Fifteen murders took place on London’s streets in February compared to 14 in New York, according to Scotland Yard and the New York Police Department, amid accusations London Mayor Sadiq Khan is not doing enough to beat gang violence.
“It’s not just Mr. Khan’s problem”, Jermaine Lawlor a former London gang member told Sputnik. “It’s predominantly Black young men killing in a tit for tat game and allocating more money won’t solve it — it’s down to education,” he said.
Jermaine became involved in gangs when he was eight years old, he now works as a youth violence consultant to prevent others from becoming involved in gang crime.
“People in the communities need to take some responsibility; there’s a disease amongst ethnic minority communities, a slave type mentality where gang leaders control the sub society,” Jermaine Lawlor told Sputnik…”
BRUSSELS, PARIS & BERLIN WANT TO GET RID OF NATION STATES IN EU ACCORDING TO FORMER GERMAN MP.
The idea that unanimous support among member states should not be necessary for foreign policy decisions is gaining traction in the EU. The end-game is to get rid of nation states, a former German diplomat told RT.
The suggestion is part of a drive within the bloc to subjugate national governments to the decisions made by Brussels, veteran German lawmaker Willy Wimmer told RT.
Wimmer, whose mainstream political career dwindled after he started criticize the German government for its support of NATO military intervention in Yugoslavia, said the bureaucracy in Brussels wants more power to impose controversial decisions on member states, such as recognizing Kosovo as an independent nation.
“They wanted to see Kosovo, the Serbian province, as an independent state. Five countries within the European Union didn’t agree, [including] Spain, Cyprus and others. To overcome this development, they have the idea in Brussels to get rid of the voting in the EU as we have it today,” he explained.
The convenience of such an arrangement was highlighted in this decade by the refugee crisis of the 2015, which split the EU into two camps, the politician said. Some nations like Germany were willing to accept hundreds of thousands of people fleeing from the wars and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa.
Others, mainly in Eastern Europe, saw those people as just economic immigrants, bringing with them problems for hosting nations, so they refused Brussels’ plan to distribute the refugees among member states according to a Brussels-ruled quota.
“[German Chancellor Angela] Merkel made a decision by herself – not by the German parliament and not by the German law – to open up the German borders,” Wimmer said.
“They want to change the internal laws in Europe just to make it possible for German decisions or French decisions to overrule the independence of countries like Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic or Slovakia.”

Here’s Willy reprimanding the German Governmen´s tone when dealing with Russia (English with German subtitles)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq-LSXJRwWE&t=206s
There isn’t clear proof that it was the Russian Government that ordered the hit, the Brits and the US saying that it was Putin without Court Proof is driving a massive wedge between any chance of peace between Russia and the West.
Having said that it was either Putin or a Russian enemy of his that ordered the hit. Either way Russia is to blame.
That’s too global.
Yes, ultimately Russia’s to blame, but jumping the gun without evidence is poor policy.
That kind of diplomacy – gangs: “with us or against us” – that’s what gets you into big-power wars.
I don’t trust May at all.
It could be false-flag – possibly Ukraine, the ‘stans. There are plenty of large holes in the story. This super-ultra-toxin with Uncle Vlad’s fingerprints turns out to be not-quite-so toxic…
It could be false-flag – possibly Ukraine, the ‘stans.
Good points, I didn’t think of them, although we still have to leave Russian enemies of Putin to the list.
Yeah May could have ordered the attack to try and get out of trouble with the way she is giving Britain to Islam.
Unless we find a whistle blower from some nation or group we probably will never know who did it.
Just the full-court press, instantly!
Feels like bush-league diplomacy.
The mayor of Düren has approved the Muezzin call. Of course there’s no Islamization taking place. A few years ago politicians rejected the muezzin calls and the construction of minarets. Today it is a different story. The citizens of Düren should file a complaint just like the citizens of Oer-Erkenschwick did.
AFGHANISTAN – Dozens Of Taliban, Civilians Killed In Afghan Air Strike
An Afghan air strike on a suspected Taliban gathering in the northern province of Kunduz has caused dozens of casualties, including among civilians, officials said.

NYT – Afghan Military Strike Kills at Least 70 at Mosque
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan military helicopters bombed a religious gathering in the northern province of Kunduz on Monday, killing at least 70 people and wounding 30 others, according to a local official in the area.
The official, Nasruddin Saadi, district governor of Dasht-e-Archi, said that the helicopters attacked a religious ceremony for which about 1,000 people had assembled in a mosque and surrounding fields around noon.
Witnesses reached by telephone said that the mosque was also a madrasa, or religious school, and that members of the Taliban had been present at the assembly, which had been organized to recognize graduates, appoint mullahs and elevate junior mullahs.
Mr. Saadi also said that the event was religious in nature and that the security forces had decided to attack because armed militants were in attendance.[…]

DACA Declared Dead As Border Anarchy Intensifies
Mysterious group deploys “caravan” of illegal aliens headed for US border.
April 3, 2018
Lloyd Billingsley
A caravan of more than 1,000 young Central Americans is marching through Mexico heading for the United States. This caravan is the project of Pueblo Sin Fronteras but establishment news reports provide little information on the group, whose website reveals no founder, staff, board of directors or funders.
“We are a collective of friends who decided to be in permanent solidarity with displaced peoples,” the site explains. None of the “friends” is named but “our dream is to build solidarity among peoples and turn down border walls imposed by greed.”
According to CNN, Alex Mensing is one of the “US collaborators who works for Pueblo Sin Fronteras,” but CNN did not explain that Mensing is a paralegal at the University of San Francisco’s Immigration and Deportation Defense Law Clinic. He did tell CNN that the caravaners’ goal is to seek asylum in the United States.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269778/daca-declared-dead-border-anarchy-intensifies-lloyd-billingsley
Last year it was about 400, this year about 1500, how many next year?
How many years until the caravan is bringing up 10,000 or more?
“How many years until the caravan is bringing up 10,000 or more?”
I don’t know but let’s all hope they’re enough years to complete the wall.
Securing America’s southern border is a classic “pay me now or pay me later” situation. Either we pay for the wall now or we pay for the jail cells and hospital beds later. It truly is one or the other.
What no one wants to admit is that even after constructing all the extra penitentiaries, we would still end up building the wall anyway. Why buy the wall twice? Do it once. Do it right.
That is my idea, but you are leaving out one very large monetary problem if we don’t build the wall now. We would have to really beef up the Border Patrol between now and when we finally decide to build the wall.
Mine the sucker.
It may come to that, I hope the wall gets built but it may come to putting in a fence with mines between the fence and the wall. This is part of the very big and nasty war that is slowly starting.

March For Our Lives Doesn’t Represent the Youth
The average age of this youth movement is 49.
April 3, 2018

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269749/march-our-lives-doesnt-represent-youth-daniel-greenfield
A month after the Parkland shootings, a Quinnipiac poll showed that voters 18-34 were much less likely to support either an “assault weapons” ban or a ban on the sale of “semi-automatic rifles”.
80% of voters 65 years of age and older supported an “assault weapons ban”, but those 18-34 split over it. A majority of voters 65 and over backed the “semi-automatic rifle” bans, but a majority of 18-34 voters opposed it.
The Washington D.C. March for Our Lives rally was billed as a way for the next generation of youth to speak out. But only 10% of the crowd that cheered the bizarre drama club antics on stage was under 18.
The average age of the adults was 49 years old.
That’s young compared to the median age of the CNN primetime viewer: 60 years old. The media hype for the March was a cable news phenomenon. Few millennials even watch cable news.
Why would they show up for a media circus whose audience is approaching retirement age?
70% of the March for Our Lives attendees were women. 89% were Hillary Clinton voters.
Israel Puts Iran On Notice
The warning that the Al Kibar strike sends out.
April 3, 2018
Ari Lieberman
Israel’s recent disclosure that its air force reduced Syria’s Al Kibar atomic bomb facility to rubble came across as one of the worst kept secrets in modern history. International media outlets had already published detailed accounts of the successful strike and even former president George W. Bush made reference to the raid in his memoirs.
The reasons for the formal acknowledgement now, 11 years after the fact are threefold. First, as already noted, everyone and their uncle knew Israel was responsible so there was no point in maintaining continued silence on the issue.
Second, Israel had always feared that a formal acknowledgement would force Assad into a corner and compel him to avenge Arab honor. Silence on the issue allowed him to maintain a docile posture vis-à-vis Israel. Indeed, most Syrians at the time believed official Syrian media reports that Israel dropped a few bombs in the open desert. However, Syria of 2007 is no more. After years of protracted conflict, Assad’s army is a mere shell of its former self and he relies on Russia and Iranian proxy militias, like Hezbollah, for survival. In sum, he no longer poses a credible conventional threat to Israel and is in no position to retaliate against a country that could tackle the entire combined armed Arab might of the Middle East.

Trump, Adultery, Morality
How moral is the media’s and the Left’s obsession with Stormy Daniels?
April 3, 2018
Dennis Prage
Some years ago, I wrote a column about adultery and politicians. In light of the Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal interviews concerning their alleged (and probable) affairs with President Donald Trump, it is time to revisit the subject.
I do not agree with those — right or left, religious or secular — who contend that adultery invalidates a political or social leader. It may invalidate a pastor, priest or rabbi — because a major part of their vocation is to be a moral/religious model, and because clergy do not make war, sign national budgets, appoint judges, run foreign policy or serve as commanders in chief. In other words, unlike your clergyman or clergywoman, almost everything a president does as president affects hundreds of millions of Americans and billions of non-Americans. If a president is also a moral model, that is a wonderful bonus. But that is not part of a president’s job description.
But even anti-Trump conservatives still assert character matters a great deal in a president and other political leaders.
There are two problems with that argument.

3-in-4 Americans Say Media is Fake News
April 3, 2018
Daniel Greenfield
For the better part of a year, the media warned about the danger of fake news.
CNN rather recently pushed its whole apple/banana nonsense whose theme was that it was real news. And pro-Trump outlets were fake news. But only the media is allowed to call others, “Fake news”. And so it threw the expected self-righteous tantrum when Sinclair did the same thing that CNN had been doing. But the public isn’t buying it. It knows fake news when it smells it.

Did John Bolton Just Figure Out North Korea’s Sick Master Plan
Read more at http://americanactionnews.com/articles/did-john-bolton-just-figure-out-north-korea-s-sick-master-plan#sQPex1jKRCcD23dX.99
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un may have stunned many when he offered to speak with United States President Donald Trump and even offered up the possibility of ending the regime’s feared nuclear weapons program.
But some think it may all be a ruse, and that includes the man set to become Trump’s National Security Adviser.
Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton feels Kim’s offer of talks may be a diversionary tactic – one that may end with North Korea finally developing a nuclear weapon capable of striking the White House.
According to Bolton, North Korea is “about nine months to a year away from having a missile with a nuclear weapon on time that can hit America,” U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) tells Fox News Sunday.

NYPD’s ‘broken windows policing’ ripped for high number of minority arrests
Far too many minorities continue to get arrested as part of the NYPD’s emphasis on broken windows policing, an advocacy group charged Monday.
The Police Reform Organizing Project said that of the 1,612 arraignments attended in every borough but Staten Island during more than six months ending last Aug. 2, 1,438, or 89%, involved blacks or Hispanics.
Robert Gangi, head of PROP, said the statistics mirror those found in previous PROP reports and reflect the difference in how minorities are treated compared to whites.
Gangi, who railed against broken windows policing — enforcing low-level offenses under the theory that it can prevent more serious crimes — during a failed mayoral run in 2017, said officers are more likely to let off a white suspect with a warning, while minorities are more likely to get arrested or at least receive a summons.
“Cops have told me that in precincts that serve white communities they either have a very low quota or no quota, while in precincts of color there’s a quota,” Gangi said.

Where’s the Common Sense in ‘Common Sense’ Gun Laws?
GOPUSA Staff Larry Elder 6:53 am April 3, 20187 comments
Americans, many quite young, attended anti-gun violence rallies across the country. Many protesters demanded more federal “common-sense” gun control laws. But the push for common-sense gun laws lacks common sense, or at least perspective.
The protests, sparked by the murders of 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida, were billed as a “March for Our Lives.” But according to criminologist James Alan Fox, over the last 25 years 10 students have died each year, on average, in school shootings. By contrast, every year about 300 Americans are struck by lightning. Most survive, but since 2000 an average of 35 people have died each year from lightning strikes.
One “common-sense” proposal is to reenact the “assault weapons” ban.

TV: Netanyahu seeking fresh Knesset bill to deport migrants
Netanyahu is planning to advance legislation bypassing the High Court of Justice’s rulings to allow Israel to continue jailing African migrants and deport them from the country, Hadashot news reports.
The TV report says Netanyahu was applying pressure on his coalition partners, namely Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon, to support the plan. Kahlon has in the past opposed any Knesset bills that clash with court rulings.
The prime minister told his ministers he scrapped the UN refugee agency plan in response to their objections and therefore expected them to support his new legislative bid, the report says.

Switzerland: UNHCR urges Israel to revive migrants agreement
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reconsider his decision to freeze a plan to relocate thousands of African refugees and migrants out of Israel, speaking from Geneva on Tuesday.
William Spindler is currently a spokesman for the UNHCR
[…]is a Guatemalan writer and journalist,
[…]His article “Magic realism: a typology” is often quoted in scholarly works on the subject
[…]Spindler suggests that there are three kinds of magic realism, which however, are by no means incompatible: European ‘metaphysical’ magic realism, with its sense of estrangement and the uncanny, exemplified by Kafka’s fiction, ‘ontological’ magical realism, characterized by ‘matter-of-factness’ in relating ‘inexplicable’ events, and ‘anthropological’ magical realism, where a Native worldview is set side by side to the Western rational worldview
It has been argued, however, that this definition is tainted by Western biases

CBC – Israel cancels African migrant relocation
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he was putting on hold an agreement with the UN refugee agency to relocate thousands of African migrants to Western countries. Hours after announcing the deal, which was opposed by right-wingers as it would give thousands of migrants the right to stay in the country, Netanyahu posted a message on his Facebook page saying he was putting it on hold until further review.
Within one hour of announcing his deal with the UN – to keep HALF of the infiltrators PLUS the ones born in Israel – Bibi got told by the Security Cabinet:
– -We’ll pull out of the coalition.
– -The govt will fall.
Terrible situation. All on account of the Israeli Supreme Court, inflicting its leftism over the will of the people and the elected govt. They appoint each other.
It’s the old socialist, European elite – kinda like the EU Courts. Pocahantus Warren would feel at home there.
Now the Knesset has to craft a law to get rid of them. If that’s not striken by the privileged traitors who call themselves judges!
This is decidedly not good, if Bibi is removed our one true anchor in the Middle East is damaged. Given what is on the horizon this is very dangerous.
He apologized _endearingly_.
~of course I'm biased~He said something to the effect:
– I’ve made thousands of decisions over the years, everyday I’m making decisions.
– Ok, sometimes I’ve got to revise…
Now we’ll work out something better.
….
I’d love for Bibi to be able to retire – enjoy a private life, maybe visit his old stomping grounds. There are some younger people with a great deal of promise; they’re just not yet ready.
That is the problem in so many of the nations, the younger politicians who would help us aren’t ready.
A couple of the ones who laid down the law to Bibi [!] are very promising.
I have my eye on one, just a few years…
