      I can only hope that all of you who read these words know how Yasser was the Grand-père of modern-day Islamic terrorism. Not even his Jerusalem Mufti, Hitler osculating fellating uncle could outdo the intense evil of this one single ambulatory, bipedal, türd.

      Please confess, as we all know that Arafat’s 1992 near-death plane crash experience in the Libyan desert—courtesy of Ronald Reagan—was his only close shave.

  1. What do London and North Rhine Westfalia have in common besides an increase in knife crimes?

    GERMAN STATE WANTS TO BAN KNIVES AS STABBINGS RUN OUT OF CONTROL:
    *(Imagine my shock)*

    North Rhine-Westphalia’s (NRW) Minister of the Interior wants to ban knives ‘as far as possible’. Herbert Reul, the state’s Minister announced the measures after numerous stabbing incidents, Tag 24 reports.

    “Wherever you can, you should ban the use of knives,” Reul tells the Rheinische Post. “We already have more than ten incidents with knives every day in NRW.”

    A knife attack in Lünen, a bloody murder in Viersen, there are stabbing incidents throughout the state. They are also becoming a dangerous problem for the police in NRW.

    Interior Minister Raul now wants to take action against knives. For the first time, there will be a weapons ban at Dortmund’s main station this weekend, due to increasing violence.

    From 6PM Friday to 7AM Saturday and from 6PM Saturday evening to 7AM Sunday morning, alarm pistols, knives of all kinds, as well as blow, shock and puncture weapons are prohibited.

    The Federal Police are reacting to the increasing violence in railway stations, as well. The union of police (GdP) had already suspected “increasing knife attacks in this country”.

    Hardly a day goes by without police reports of dangerous or even deadly knife attacks.

          Here’s VICE for example:

    • Typical big government types always blame the weapon and never the criminal, they also don’t seem to be able to grasp the fact that all they are doing is disarming the victims. Criminals by definition don’t obey the law, what about that is so hard to understand? If they do understand this and continue to ban weapons they are saying that they are afraid of the honest people who might use the weapons to remove the big government types from office.

      • Yup, I think that is the end game – just ban honest, law abiding citizen after robbing them of all their hard earned money.

    EX-STAFFER AT DUTCH MUSLIM PARTY WISHES “CANCER ON FILTHY JEWS”

    Hussein Jamakovic, who worked for the Denk Muslim party, sent the email to Telegraaf, a pro-Israel paper that positions itself as center-right.

    Last week, the newspaper was also attacked when a van drove into the building at around 4am before bursting into flames.

    Telegraaf is seen as having a hostile attitude toward radical Islam, JTA reported. The newspaper also covers organized crime with regularity.

    Jamakovic’s message was over reports of his alleged expressions of sympathy for the Islamic State terrorist group. He also sent the email to three other news organizations.

    “Israel commits “weather theft” by cunningly manipulating clouds to prevent rain falling over Iran, an Iranian general has alleged.

    Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali, head of Iran’s Civil Defence Organisation, said that the changing climate and drought in Iran is “suspect” and a coalescence of malign, anti-Iran forces are to blame, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.

    “Foreign interference is suspected to have played a role in climate change,” General Jalali insisted, adding that an Iranian scientific study “confirms” the claim.

    “Israel and another country in the region have joint teams which work to ensure clouds entering Iranian skies are unable to release rain,” he said….”

  4. Malta Detains Another Migrant Transport Vessel Following Arrest of ‘Lifeline’ Ship Captain (breitbart, Jul 3, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/07/03/malta-detains-another-migrant-transport-vessel-following-arrest-of-lifeline-ship-captain/

    “The government of Malta has detained a vessel belonging to the German migrant delivery NGO Sea-Watch, not allowing the ship to leave port following the recent arrest of the captain of another vessel belonging to the NGO Lifeline.

    Sea-Watch announced the detention of their vessel, the Sea-Watch 3, on Sunday through a statement on their website which claimed the ship had been detained without reason and called the move “a political campaign to stop civil rescue at sea”.

    Sea-Watch 3 Captain Pia Klemp argued that the ship was registered to fly under the Dutch flag, which other vessels were accused of illegally flying by the Italian government.

    “Our ship has a proper registration and is fully entitled to fly the Dutch flag. We would be the best equipped and trained rescue crew in the area of operation and there is no legal ground provided so far to justify the detention of our vessel. We expect the authorities to let us sail immediately,” Klemp said.

    On Monday, Maltese courts heard testimony in the case of the captain of the Lifeline NGO vessel, operated by Mission Lifeline, who was charged for failing to have correct registration paperwork.

    According to investigators, Captain Claus-Peter Reisch is in possession of a ship master’s ticket but it only allows him to command and oversee vessels which do not go more than 30 nautical miles off any given coastline.

    Police Inspector Mario Haber added that the NGO ship was registered at a Dutch yacht club although the Netherlands has claimed the ship is not registered with them.

    These incidents mark the latest setback for the migrant transport NGOs following their ban from all Italian ports last month at the order of populist Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.

    The closure of Italian ports led the migrant transport NGO ship the Aquarius, operated by SOS Méditerranée and Doctors Without Borders (MSF), to travel to Spain instead where it unloaded over 600 migrants picked up off the coast of Libya.”

  5. Salvini Announces Intention to Take League Party International to ‘Free Europe’ (breitbart, Jul 3, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/07/03/salvini-take-league-international-free-europe/

    “Populist Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini wants to take his party, the League, international and transform it into a “European force” as his popularity surges across Italy.
    Interior Minister Salvini announced his long-term goal to turn the League into an international force over the weekend saying he wanted “to transform ourselves also into a European force, into an international force, which goes beyond regional and national borders and brings freedom to all the peoples of Europe,” Il Giornale reports.

    Slamming the establishment in Europe, accusing them of failures in both banking and mass migration, Salvini said: “I want to give voice to another kind of Europe, the Europe of the hope of work and certainty. And all the parties will have to choose which side to be on.”

    The announcement comes after Salvini has been seeing a huge surge in popularity across Italy following his move to ban migrant rescue NGO ships from Italian ports.

    New reports have even shown growth in the south of the country, something once thought impossible as the League was previously a Northern Italian regionalist party which at one time advocated for northern separatism.

    As well as increasing popular support from the Italian voters, according to polls which put the League and Salvini ahead of their anti-establishment coalition partners, the Five Star Movement, the Interior Minister has been given praise from other European anti-establishment leaders…”

    “A female healthcare worker has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of eight babies and the attempted murder of another six newborns.

    Last year, Chester Police investigated the neo-natal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital and Detective Inspector Paul Hughes, who is leading the probe, said when officers first looked into the case, their focus was on the death of 15 babies.

    But he said today: “Since the start of our enquiries and, as the information gathering process has continued, the scope of the investigation has now widened.

    “We are now currently investigating the deaths of 17 babies and 15 non-fatal collapses between the period of March 2015 and July 2016.”

    The woman was arrested on Tuesday morning. Police have not said if the arrested woman is a nurse, doctor or other health professional.

    The initial investigation came just months after the publication of a report into the high death rate by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) which made 24 recommendations for improvement…”

  7. Merkel’s migrant domino effect: Austria say they will send asylum seekers back to Italy and Slovenia after German Chancellor agrees to restrict number of arrivals to save her coalition (dailymail, Jul 3, 2018)
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5912563/Merkel-risks-migrant-dominos-effect-asylum-seeker-deal.html

    “Austria has said it will send asylum seekers back to Italy and Slovenia – hours after Angela Merkel agreed to restrict migrant arrivals in Germany to save her coalition.

    The German Chancellor struck a compromise deal with her rebellious Bavarian allies, the CSU, last night in a bid to avert a political crisis in Berlin.

    Among the proposals is a plan to send back to Austria asylum seekers arriving in Germany who cannot be returned to their countries of entry into the European Union.

    But Austria has since said it would be prepared to take similar measures to block asylum seekers at its southern borders with Slovenia and Italy.

    The stand-off risks creating a migrant domino effect in Europe with asylum seekers passed back from Germany and eventually ending up back in Italy – where many first enter the bloc.

    Italy, under the political control of a populist and anti-immigrant coalition, has recently barred some migrant rescue ships docking in Italian ports.

    Last night, Angela Merkel agreed an eleventh hour deal on migrants to save her fragile coalition from collapse.

    Her party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), had been locked in a bitter dispute with coalition partners the Christian Social Union (CSU), whose leader wanted to be able to turn away migrants at the border.

    A round of marathon talks on Sunday failed to break the deadlock and ended in the early hours with interior minister Horst Seehofer, the CSU’s leader, threatening to resign.

    Last night a deal was finally agreed which will keep Mr Seehofer in post and the conservative coalition intact. However, Merkel’s other coalition ally, the Social Democrats (SPD) has yet to agree to the plan.

    In a pact both sides hailed as a victory, Merkel and Seehofer agreed to tighten border controls and set up closed holding centres to allow the speedy processing of asylum seekers and the repatriations of those who are rejected.

    They would either be sent back to EU countries that previously registered them or, in case arrival countries reject this – likely including frontline state Italy – be sent back to Austria, pending an agreement with Vienna.

    However, this morning, Austria warned it would ‘take measures to protect’ its borders.

    If the agreement reached Monday evening is approved by the German government as a whole, ‘we will be obliged to take measures to avoid disadvantages for Austria and its people,’ the Austrian government said in a statement.

    It added it would be ‘ready to take measures to protect our southern borders in particular,’ those with Italy and Slovenia.

    ‘We are now waiting for a rapid clarification of the German position at a federal level,’ said the statement, signed by Austria’s conservative Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and his allies of the far-right Freedom party, Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache and Interior Minister Herbert Kickl.

    ‘German considerations prove once again the importance of a common European protection of the external borders,’ the statement said.

    Kurz on Tuesday is to present before the European Parliament in Strasbourg his priorities for Austria’s six-month presidency of the European Union, with the issue of migration expected to feature prominently.

    Refugee support group Pro Asyl slammed what it labelled ‘detention centres in no-man’s land’ and charged that German power politics were being played out ‘on the backs of those in need of protection’….”

    • I am sick and tired of these damn MSM outlets, ESPECIALLY THE UK DAILY MAIL, which is now in full blown censorship mode, referring to anyone opposed to immigration as “far right.”

      The Daily Mail is one of the worst, most blatant LEFT WING propaganda machines that’s out there. Try sending them a comment on one of their articles that refers in any way to “Left Wing” “Islam” “Muslim” “Mohammad” “rape gangs” “grooming” or any of the code words that are used to refer to the Muslim criminals and their supporters. The robots have been programmed to not allow anything except Anti- truth, Anti- Christian, Anti White, Anti-British, you name it.
      Makes me think that there must be many thousands of people sending in their comments that are pro Trump and anti-immigration.

  8. Italy Provides Libya With More Ships to Bring Migrants Back Home (sputniknews, Jul 3, 2018)

    “Italy has said it will give ships and equipment to the Libyan Coast Guard to help it intercept and bring migrants back home.

    Italy’s government has announced Monday it will provide 10 motor launches and two ships, as well as an unspecified amount of equipment and other material, to the Libyan Coast Guard service, in order to increase its capacity to intercept and bring back illegal migrants from the Mediterranean Sea.

    The new government in Rome wants the illegal immigrants who seek to cross the Mediterranean and reach Europe mainland, to be taken back to North Africa, rather than let them enter the country, according to a report by Deutsche Welle. The position of the Italian government is that Libya is not nearly as dangerous for the migrants as it once was…”

  9. ‘Shameless’ Swedish Women Reported to Police for Sexually Abusing Refugees (sputniknews, Jul 3, 2018)
    https://sputniknews.com/viral/201807031065990267-sweden-refugees-sex/

    “According to a Swedish whistleblower, the administrators of the Facebook group designed to assist Afghan refugees, were aware of the widespread misconduct, but refused to report the abuse in order not to play into the hands of “racists.”

    Stefan Lindquist, the district chairman of Left in the Church of Sweden in the town of Härnösand, has sounded the alarm over the sexual abuse and exploitation of unaccompanied refugees in the Facebook group “Stop expulsions to Afghanistan now,” which involves several Social Democratic politicians. The asylum activist reported a dozen such cases to the police.

    “Shameless women offer undocumented boys food and shelter in exchange for abuse. There are stories of everything from slave-like work to widespread sexual abuse and rape,” Lindquist wrote in a Facebook post explaining the situation.

    According to Lindquist, he filed a report with the police involving “at least ten people,” including the administrators themselves, for failure to report, based on interviews with the victims and fellow asylum activists. Lindquist argued that men also engage in the abuse of undocumented refugees.

    “A senior man offered an Afghan boy room and food. The very first evening, he came and masturbated in front of the boy. This whole thing lasted for about a month. The night before the boy finally escaped, he was raped by this man,” Lindquist said. According to him, this incident occurred in Malmö several months ago and was reported to the police. He also stressed that the police have trouble detecting such cases, as most of the victims are illegal immigrants and cannot count on the help of the police.

    After Lindquist chose to report the widespread abuse, he was contacted by several upset people. “I hope you understand what terribly big damage a post like this makes for thousands of people,” one of the comments said.

    When he tried to raise the issue with the group’s administrators, they responded by blocking him instead. Furthermore, the administrators explained that they specifically refrained from reporting the abuse “for fear of how racists may use this information.”

    “I have done nothing wrong, it’s the people who have abused the boys who have done wrong. I think the group must take it for discussion. You must have an action plan on how to combat this. If you hush it up, nothing will be better,” Lindquist said.

    Following the exposure, the Facebook group “Stop expulsions to Afghanistan now” has changed its status to member-only.

    Sweden’s Afghan diaspora numbers over 44,000 people and has been estimated to have grown exponentially during the recent years’ migrant crisis…”

    “Turkey should use part of the money provided by the European Union under bilateral migration deal to establish reception centers for migrants in the southern part of the country, Andrea Picchielli, a member of the Italian Lega party, told Sputnik.

    “The European Union has already given a lot of money to Turkey and I think that part of this money could be used by Turkey, by President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, after an agreement with the European Union, of course, to create the [reception] centers in the southern part of Turkey at the border with Syria, at the border with Lebanon,” Picchielli said.

    The politician went on to say that he felt there was no need in allocating extra money to Turkey, because the European Union had already provided enough money to establish migrant reception centers for the country. Picchielli added that Turkey should ensure security of such reception centers and receive the money only after all obligations are fulfilled…”

  11. UN Migration Agency Presents Recommendations to Incoming EU Council Presidency, Austria (IOM, Jul 3, 2018)
    https://www.iom.int/news/un-migration-agency-presents-recommendations-incoming-eu-council-presidency-austria

    “IOM, the UN Migration Agency, has put forward three recommendations to the incoming Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union that are based on our view that better migration governance – national, regional and global – benefits the entire migration spectrum: migrants, their home countries and the countries of destination, and requires political courage, evidence-based vision, and a human-centred approach.

    Yesterday (02/07) IOM, the UN Migration Agency, presented its migration recommendations to Austria as it took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) on 1 July for a six-month tenure.

    IOM is drawing attention to three key areas in its recommendations paper: Africa border and identity management, the EU’s Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF), and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM).

    “Austria will be leading the rotating EU Presidency through a critical period in the second half of 2018 when the GCM focus shifts to implementation and the EU agrees its next multi-annual financial framework,” Eugenio Ambrosi, IOM Regional Director for the European Union, Norway and Switzerland, said in Brussels.

    “Our recommendations are rooted in IOM’s conviction that better migration governance at all levels – national, regional and global – benefits not only migrants, but also their home countries and the countries of destination, and must be governed with political courage, evidence-based vision, and a human-centred approach,” added Ambrosi.

    The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is meant to address all aspects of migration and will have implications for both the internal and external policies of the EU.

    The EU and its Member States should be encouraged to promote a comprehensive approach to migration that would put the rights, needs, capacities and contributions of migrants at its core, with a view to ensuring their safety, dignity and human rights in line with the GCM vision.

    The intergovernmental negotiations on the GCM are scheduled to close in July 2018 and the adoption of the Compact is expected to take place at an intergovernmental conference in December 2018. In this interim period between these two milestones, IOM calls on the Austrian EU Presidency to set up a process to prepare for the implementation of the Compact.

    Building on the EU’s migration policy commitments to working with partner countries, as well as on its prioritization of Africa as a key region for cooperation on issues around human mobility, IOM recommends that the Austrian Presidency work with African counterparts towards enhancing their border and identity management capacities to benefit African intraregional mobility and to contribute to safe and regular migration to the EU, the latter supported also by EU’s own visa policy reform.

    Finally, integration, social cohesion, human rights, humanitarian aid and development cooperation all need sound investment, as successful migration policies are a long-term societal ambition. For these policies to be strategic, results-oriented and long-term, they need to be properly resourced. This year’s consultations for the next EU Multi-Annual Financial Framework offer a unique opportunity for the EU and its Member States to ensure sustainable and ambitious financial commitments to create a Europe that unites and upholds its international commitments.

    IOM calls on the Presidency to allocate appropriate resources for a strategic, results-oriented and long-term migration policy.

    “IOM stands ready to support the Presidency and EU member states through its global expertise and operational tools to advance our joint commitment to improving global migration governance and ensuring that each and every migrant is assisted, with their fundamental rights upheld,” said Ambrosi.

    IOM’s twice-yearly recommendations to the rotating EU Presidencies are guided by its Migration Governance Framework (MiGOF) which is the first, and so far only global detailed articulation of planned and well-managed migration policies.

    The six-month incumbent Presidents of the Council of the EU work together in groups of three in the interest of continuity and coherency. The current Presidential trio comprises Estonia (July/December 2017), Bulgaria (January/June 2018) and Austria (July/December 2018). The presidential representatives chair meetings at every level and propose the guidelines needed for the Council to take decisions.

  14. Maxine Waters is done with ‘nice guy politics’

    From the perspective of some House Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has the right message. She’s just not always the best messenger.

    The Los Angeles lawmaker’s early calls for President Trump’s impeachment and viral showdowns with administration officials have endeared Waters to the party’s young, liberal base. And those stances have also garnered the respect of many House Democrats, who admire how Waters, 79, sticks to her political convictions.

    “She is up-to-date, she is smart, she is authentic and she is not scared to express herself,” Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) told The Hill, adding that her constituents in Milwaukee often ask her if she knows Waters. “She is transformative in terms of appealing to different generations of people.”

    Yet her most recent remarks — encouraging public confrontation with Cabinet members — rankled some of those colleagues and raised concerns about how Waters would handle increased authority if Democrats regain control of the House in November.

    President Trump on Tuesday predicted that Rep. Maxine Waters’s (D-Calif.) “ranting and raving” about his administration would drive people away from the Democratic Party, repeating his assertion that the California lawmaker is becoming the “face” of the party.

    “Crazy Maxine Waters, said by some to be one of the most corrupt people in politics, is rapidly becoming, together with Nancy Pelosi, the FACE of the Democrat Party,” Trump tweeted. “Her ranting and raving, even referring to herself as a wounded animal, will make people flee the Democrats!”

  16. Billionaire Richard Branson: America should give out free cash to fix income inequality

    One solution to income inequality is giving out free cash, according to the British billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson.

    “A basic income should be introduced in Europe and in America,” Branson told David Gelles of The New York Times.

    Branson was responding to the question, “What do you think those in positions of power should do to address social problems like income inequality?”

    In a report published in January, the global charity Oxfam found that 82 percent of the growth in global wealth in the previous year went to the top 1 percent of individuals ranked by riches. Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent had no increase in their wealth, the report says.

    “It’s a disgrace to see people sleeping on the streets with this material wealth all around them,” Branson said.

    A universal basic income, as it’s known, is a cash payment distributed to residents irrespective of their employment status.

  18. The tow-an-iceberg plan being floated to ease Cape Town drought

    Cape Town (AFP) – It is a plan as crazy as the situation is desperate — towing an iceberg from Antarctica to Cape Town to supply fresh water to a city in the grip of drought.

    Earlier this year, Cape Town came within weeks of shutting off all its taps and forcing residents to queue for water rations at public standpipes.

    The cut-off was narrowly averted as people scrambled to reduce their water usage and Autumn rains saved the day. But the threat is expected to return to the coastal South African city again next year and beyond.

    “The idea sounds crazy,” admits maverick salvage expert Nick Sloane, the brains behind the tow-an-iceberg scheme. “But if you look at the fine details, it is not so crazy.”

    Sloane suggests wrapping the iceberg in a textile insulation skirt to stop it melting and using a supertanker and two tugboats to drag it 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) towards Cape Town using prevailing ocean currents.

  19. Iran thinks Israel has been stealing its clouds to cause a drought

    Brigadier General Gholam Reza Jalali, head of Iran’s Civil Defence Organisation, alleged that his country was facing cloud ‘theft’ during a press conference.

    However he was later contradicted by the nation’s weather chief.

    Speaking at the conference, the general said: ‘The changing climate in Iran is suspect.

    ‘Foreign interference is suspected to have played a role in climate change’

  20. Satanist, 21, ‘strangled boyfriend in BDSM sex and chopped up body in devil sacrifice’

    A SATANIST strangled her lover during a rough sex session before chopping up his body in a sacrificial ritual to the devil, cops said.

    Anastasia Onegina, 21, has been detained on suspicion of murdering and dismembering ex-policeman Dmitry Sinkevich.

    The 24-year-old’s corpse was butchered with a kitchen knife to make it seem like Satanic idol Baphomet.

    Onegina and Sinkevich were known to have been interested in the occult – and BDSM sex.

    Police evidence shows his body was drained of blood, dismembered and had his hands, feet and face mutilated.

    The head, hands and feet were stored in the fridge of her flat in the Russian city of Oryol.

  21. The latest instance of the Left citing an Obama-era failing, and claiming it’s Trump’s fault
    By Howard Portnoy July 3, 2018

    In its never-ending quest to take down President Donald Trump at any price, the Left seemed to hit on something at the end of May: One of its more enterprising sorts found and ran a photo on social media that showed two young purported immigrant children sleeping on the floor of what appeared to be a locked gated enclosure. The photo went instantly viral and seeded the loud and angry protests against Trump’s inhumanity to immigrant children that have been a daily occurrence ever since.

    The price of publishing this photo was, of course, the truth since the picture was taken in 2014, during Barack Obama’s presidency.

    Although the strategy wasn’t successful in leading to Trump’s immediate ouster, liberals are giving it another try. This time the bait is a U.N. report claiming that poverty is drastically up in America and that Trump’s profligate military spending at the expense of social programs is the reason why.

    The media have swallowed the story hook, line, and sinker. From Investor’s Business Daily:

  23. Yet another Trump cabinet member is harassed, forced out of restaurant
    By Joe Newby July 3, 2018

    On Monday, a woman publicly confronted Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt while he was eating lunch and urged him to resign, according to a video she posted on Facebook.

    “EPA head Scott Pruitt was 3 tables away as I ate lunch with my child. I had to say something,” Kristin Mink writes on Facebook.

    “This man is directly and significantly harming my child’s — and every child’s — health and future with decisions to roll back environmental regulations for the benefit of big corporations, while he uses taxpayer money to fund a lavish lifestyle,” she claimed. “He’s corrupt, he’s a liar, he’s a climate change denier, and as a public servant, he should not be able to go out in public without hearing from the citizens he’s hurting.”

    According to The Hill (which misspells Mink’s name):

  24. The ACLU admits it no longer supports the Constitution (if it ever did)
    By Benny Huang July 3, 2018

    If the American Civil Liberties Union was ever a champion of its supposed namesake — civil liberties — it no longer is. The Wall Street Journal reports that the ACLU has quietly drafted new guidelines that address which legal battles it will wade into. Civil liberties are now being balanced with other considerations.

    In an eight-page memo, the ACLU agonized over whether and when to lend a helping hand to people it clearly despises. It did not categorically reject the possibility that the organization would defend deplorables’ civil liberties, but it left itself plenty of weaselly escape hatches.

    It’s complicated, you see. Really, really complicated.

    I suspect that the ACLU has always quietly exercised discretion when choosing its cases even if it didn’t say so publicly. To be sure, even these guidelines were for ACLU eyes only, a clear indication that the organization still wants to be perceived as stalwart defenders of the Bill of Rights.

    Maintaining the organization’s public image is paramount. As former ACLU president Nadine Strossen said in a recent interview, “The ACLU defends all fundamental freedoms for all people.”

  25. Report: Iran Training Top Afghan Taliban Jihadis to Attack U.S.-NATO Troops (breitbart, Jul 3, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/07/03/report-iran-training-top-afghan-taliban-jihadis-attack-u-s-nato-troops/

    “Iran is reportedly providing special forces training to the Taliban within its borders and arming the group with Russian-made weapons, the Times learned from Taliban and Afghan officials this week.
    The Times further reveals:

    Hundreds of Taliban fighters are receiving advanced training from special forces at military academies in Iran as part of a significant escalation of support for the insurgents, Taliban and Afghan officials have told The Times.

    The scale, quality, and length of the training is unprecedented and marks not only a shift in the proxy conflict between the US and Iran inside Afghanistan but also a potential change in Iran’s ability and will to affect the outcome of the Afghan war.

    Talks between Tehran and the Taliban to have Iranian special forces train the terrorists began when U.S. President Donald Trump was preparing to withdraw from the controversial nuclear deal reached between Iran and U.S.-led world powers in 2015, a political adviser to the Taliban told the Times.

    It appears that Iran has stepped up its support to the Afghan Taliban in retaliation for the U.S.’s pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, drawing the ire of Tehran. Days after Trump pulled out of the deal, Iran reportedly assisted the Taliban in briefly seizing an area along the border it shares with Afghanistan, marking the second time the narco-terrorists seized a major urban area since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001.

    The political adviser speaking to the Times, a former bomb maker from Helmand province, declared, “The Iranian offer of training came with two demands: that we should put more focus on attacking American and NATO interests in Afghanistan, and devote more forces to attacking the Daesh [ISIS].”

    An unnamed deputy corps commander of the Afghan National Army (ANA) told the Times that Iran’s support for the Taliban might soon exceed that of Pakistan, which for years has been considered the region’s top supporter of the group…”

      • They are having difficulty adjusting to the fact that the adults are once again in charge.

  27. Report: Senate Intel Committee still wants to interview Christopher Steele; ‘cooperation issues’
    By Daily Caller News Foundation July 2, 2018

    The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has been in weekly contact with lawyers for Christopher Steele but has been unable to secure an interview with the former British spy, who is the author of the infamous dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

    “We’re still in conversation weekly,” North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence panel, told BuzzFeed News.

    “I know that we are in communications and we obviously would like to get that hearing,” Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the committee, told the news outlet.

    Steele, a former MI6 officer, is the main source for allegations that members of the Trump campaign coordinated with the Kremlin to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. His dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC, also alleges that the Russian government was blackmailing President Donald Trump with video footage from a Moscow hotel room. (RELATE

  28. Canadian Bus Driver Arrested For Criticizing Homosexuality, Faces Up To 2 Years In Prison
    The Canadian attorney general issued a nationwide warrant to catch a man who distributed 3,000 provocative fliers at an event where others proudly wore silhouettes of Christ on their crotches.
    Jeremiah Keenan By Jeremiah Keenan
    JUNE 28, 2018
    Last week a nationwide criminal arrest warrant was put out on a 51-year-old Canadian named Bill Whatcott. Whatcott was in the Canadian oil sands at the time, driving a bus to support his family. It was a rough job—temporary work in remote, far-north Canada—but the only employment he could find just then to support his family of four.

    Whatcott was wanted in Toronto to be charged with “Wilful Promotion of Hatred against an identifiable group, namely the gay community.” The basis for this charge? In 2016 Whatcott had distributed “safe sex” pamphlets at a gay pride parade.

    These pamphlets stated homosexuality is associated with sexually transmitted diseases, including HPV of the rectum, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control says is true. The pamphlets also made negative comments about the Liberal party, and stated accusations and facts about several left-wing politicians accused or convicted of various sexual crimes.

    For instance, the pamphlets noted that Toronto’s former deputy education minister, who pled guilty to making and distributing child pornography in 2015, had a hand in designing Ontario’s “perverted sex education curriculum.” Government documents show he at the very least oversaw that curriculum’s design, although whether it is “perverted” may be open to debate.

    “German investigators say a 20-year-old Iraqi asylum-seeker who has admitted killing a 14-year-old girl in a case that has fueled a debate over the country’s immigration policies is also suspected of raping an 11-year-old.

    Wiesbaden prosecutors said Tuesday that Ali Bashar, who’s in custody for the May slaying of Susanna Feldman, is believed to have raped a 11-year-old German girl in a refugee home in March in the western city.

    They say Bashar and a 14-year-old Afghan boy also raped the 11-year-old together in May. The Afghan, who was 13 at the time, is accused of also raping her another time and was arrested Monday.

    Prosecutors refused to say why the 11-year-old was at the refugee home or elaborate on the ongoing investigation.”

    “Azerbaijan has been hit by a massive blackout affecting most of the country, the worst power outage since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.

    President Ilham Aliyev set up a government commission to investigate the accident at a power plant in Mingechavir that caused the blackout early Tuesday. The Emergencies Ministry said a transformer’s breakdown in Mingechavir sparked a fire that was put out in 20 minutes and inflicted no casualties.

    The blackout came amid a heat wave in the Caspian Sea nation, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) resulting in a power consumption surge that plunged the capital, Baku, and nearly 40 other cities and regions into pitch darkness.

    It took several hours to fully restore power in Baku but efforts to restore power in other regions continued.”

  32. the daily caller – IN NEWLY OBTAINED MEMO, CONGRESS’S TOP COP SAID HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS SERVER VANISHED

    A secret memo marked “URGENT” detailed how the House Democratic Caucus’s server went “missing” soon after it became evidence in a cybersecurity probe. The secret memo also said more than “40 House offices may have been victims of IT security violations.”

    In the memo, Congress’s top law enforcement official, Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving, along with Chief Administrative Officer Phil Kiko, wrote, “We have concluded that the employees [Democratic systems administrator Imran Awan and his family] are an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems and thereby members’ capacity to serve constituents.”

    The memo, addressed to the Committee on House Administration (CHA) and dated Feb. 3, 2017, was recently reviewed and transcribed by The Daily Caller News Foundation. The letter bolsters TheDCNF’s previous reporting about the missing server and evidence of fraud on Capitol Hill.

    It details how the caucus server, run by then-caucus Chairman Rep. Xavier Becerra, was secretly copied by authorities after the House Inspector General (IG) identified suspicious activity on it, but the Awans’ physical access was not blocked.

    But after, the report reads, the server appears to have been secretly replaced with one that looked similar.

    The memo called for firing the Pakistani-born aides, revoking all their computer accounts, and changing the locks on any door they had access to.

    Rep. Louie Gohmert — a Texas Republican on the House Committee on the Judiciary who has done oversight work on the case — said the missing server contained copies of Congress members’ emails.

    “They put 40 members of Congress’s data on one server … That server, with that serial number, has disappeared,” he said.

    Multiple sources connected to the investigation told TheDCNF that shortly after an IG report came out identifying the House Democratic Caucus server as key evidence in a criminal probe, the evidence was stolen.

    “They [the Awans] deliberately turned over a fake server” to falsify evidence, one official close to the CHA alleged. “It was a breach. The data was completely out of [members’] possession.”

    The six-page letter says:

    • In September of 2016 … the CHA and [IG] briefed the former Chairman of the Democratic Caucus about suspicious activity related to their server that the [IG] identified. As a result, the former Chairman of the Democratic Caucus directed the CAO to copy the data from their server and two computers.

    • The CHA directed the IG to refer the matter to the US Capitol Police. The USCP initiated an investigation that continues to this day.

    • In late 2016, the former Chairman of the Democratic Caucus announced his intention to resign from Congress to assume a new position. The CAO and [sergeant-at-arms]
    worked with the Chairman to account for his inventory, including the one server.

    • While reviewing the inventory, the CAO discovered that the serial number of the server did not match that of the one imaged in September. [Investigators] also discovered that the server in question [the replacement server] was still operating under the employee’s control, contrary to the explicit instructions of the former chairman to turn over all equipment and fully cooperate with the inquiry and investigation. [A House source said the “employee” was Abid Awan.]

    • The USCP interviewed relevant staff regarding the missing server.

    • On January 24, 2017, the CAO acquired the [replacement] server from the control of the employees and transferred that server to the USCP.

    President Donald Trump referenced the Democratic Caucus’ missing server in a tweet. But because the letter to the CHA was kept secret, many news outlets have not grasped that the House’s top cop documented a “missing server” connected to the Democratic Caucus.

    The timeline laid out in the letter also shows that Becerra — now California’s Democratic attorney general — failed to ensure that the Awans didn’t have access to House computer systems during the 2016 election, which was wrought with cybersecurity scandals.

    An IG presentation from September 2016 shows that Becerra knew of problems months before the server disappeared.

    “The Caucus Chief of Staff requested one of the shared employees to not provide IT services or access their computers,” it read. “This shared employee continued.” It’s unclear why that request was not granted or why it was a request rather than an order.

    A House official close to the probe said the employee was Abid, who was not on Becerra or the Caucus’s payroll. The official said Becerra Chief of Staff Sean McCluskie apparently knew Abid was accessing Caucus servers. According to payroll records, Abid’s sister-in-law, Hina Alvi, was the Caucus’ systems administrator.

    The Awans’ continued physical access to Becerra’s equipment after red flags emerged enabled the server to disappear after it became evidence, House officials close to the investigation told TheDCNF. (RELATED: Becerra Tried To Block Awan From House Democratic Caucus Server, But Logins Continued; He Didn’t Go To Cops)

    Becerra has refused to comment, citing an ongoing criminal investigation.

    The February 2017 memo itemizes “numerous and egregious violations of House IT security” by members of the Awan family, including using Congress members’ usernames and “the unauthorized storage of sensitive House information outside the House.”

    “These employees accessed user accounts and computers for offices that did not employ them, without the knowledge and permission of the impacted Member’s office,” it said, adding, “4 of the employees accessed the Democratic Caucus computers 5,735 times.” More than 100 office computers were open to access from people not on the office’s staff, it said.

    Chris Gowen — a former aide to Hillary Clinton who is now serving as Imran’s attorney — told TheDCNF, “There is no missing server and never was.”

    He didn’t provide any support for his claim, which is contrary to evidence Kiko and Irving presented to Congress.

    The memo said the CHA possesses voluminous evidence, including, “Interview notes with House Members’ Chiefs of Staff,” and “Logon activity and computer access logs.” Prosecutors have not brought charges.

    The Awans were banned from Congress’s computer network the day the letter was sent, and Kiko held a briefing to convey the message to chiefs of staff for members who employed them.

    But Democrats claim they were never told about any of the cybersecurity issues itemized in the urgent memo. Rep. Jackie Speier — a California Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who employed Imran and his wife, Hina Alvi — said she never heard of any missing server.

    Joaquin Castro of Texas — another Democratic intelligence committee member who employed one of the Awans — told TheDCNF that Kiko never told him of any cybersecurity issues whatsoever and that the Awan probe was instead described as a theft issue.

    Indeed, the CHA issued only one public statement on the case and titled it the “House Theft Investigation” — wording that avoids cybersecurity words while political news coverage raged about other cybersecurity issues in the 2016 election.

    Yet even the alleged theft has not resulted in criminal charges — even though the letter also says House authorities have “purchase orders and vouchers” that allegedly show procurement fraud, as well as testimony from a Democratic chief of staff to Rep. Yvette Clarke, who warned of procurement fraud.

    The FBI arrested Imran at the airport in July 2017 for alleged bank fraud that occurred six months prior, and Democrats have since claimed that the case is about nothing but bank fraud. Bank fraud does not explain why the Awans were kicked off the House network concurrent with the urgent memo, which did not cite bank fraud.

    A Democratic IT aide who alleged that Imran solicited a bribe from him told TheDCNF he believes members of Congress are playing dumb and covering the matter up. Wendy Anderson, a former chief of staff to New York Rep. Yvette Clarke, told House investigators that she suspected that her predecessor, Shelley Davis, was working with Abid on a theft scheme, but Clarke refused to fire Abid until outside investigators got involved, TheDCNF reported.

    Eighteen months after the evidence was recounted in the urgent memo, prosecution appears to have stalled for reasons not publicly explained. Imran is in court July 3 for a possible plea deal in the bank fraud case. Gohmert said the FBI has refused to accept evidence demonstrating alleged House misconduct, and some witnesses with first-hand knowledge say the bureau has not interviewed them.

    • BREITBART – Sessions DOJ Declares ‘No Evidence’ Imran Awan Broke Law with Congress’s Computer Systems

      The Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed a plea deal Tuesday to Imran Awan — former IT staffer for top House Democrats — which states the federal government found “no evidence” that Awan “violated federal law with respect to House computer systems.”
      The plea deal states:

      The Government has uncovered no evidence that your client violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems. Particularly, the Government has found no evidence that your client illegally removed House data from the House network or from House Members’ offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus Server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information, including classified or sensitive information.

      The DOJ’s offer allows Awan to plead guilty to making a false statement on a loan or credit application; a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1014. Although the crime carries a maximum sentence of 30 years imprisonment and a fine possibly exceeding $1,000,000 with restitution and interest penalties, the DOJ estimates a prison sentence of between zero and six months and a fine between $500 and $9,500 in the event of Awan’s acceptance of its terms.

      The offer includes dismissal of all charges against Awan’s wife, Hina Alvi, listed in an August-issued indictment. It expires at the end of the day.

      Awan, a Pakistani national, managed IT services for more than 20 congressional Democrats, including former DNC chairwoman Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) over several years.

      Wasserman-Schultz opted against firing Awan until after he was arrested and had attempted to flee the country for Pakistan.

      In May of 2017, Wasserman-Schultz threatened U.S. Capitol Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa with “consequences” for not returning computer equipment seized as part of a criminal investigation related to Awan and his wife.

      Chris Gowen, Awan’s attorney, said last July that “ultra-right-wing-media” had victimized his client with an “anti-Muslim, right-wing smear job.”

    Linking Differential Equations to what?!
    I was born and spent more than a half of my life in the former USSR, graduating from a state university, and then working for various scientific institutions. It goes without saying that most aspects of Soviet life were heavily ideologized: even after Stalin, during the final softer decades of the Evil Empire. However almost nobody accepted the propaganda and intrusion of the ideology at its face value. More importantly, natural science and mathematics were spared from the propaganda: hard science was not abused for promotion of the ideological whims of the party.
    Now imagine my shock when here, in America of all places, I received an invitation to contribute a mathematical paper for a special issue of the CODEE Journal1 dedicated to …
    Linking Differential Equations to Social Justice and Environmental Concerns
    Here are a few proposals I sent at their request.
    Dear Secretary,
    In reply to your persistent invitation of papers for this special issue, here are several proposals.
    1) Whenever I hear the words “Social justice”, my hand rushes for my Glock2. Shortening of the delay of this reflex as a function of the growing occurrence of this phrase.
    2) “Make America straight again”: a new linear model for propagation of hate.
    3) Isomorphism between diversity and perversity.
    4) White guilt still lags behind white privilege. More effective affirmative action for elimination and reversal of this lag.
    5) Re-distribution of wealth as a result of Social justice applied to the function of Normal Distribution.
    6) The fractional dimension of the safe space as a consequence of its fractal boundaries in a fragile mental environment.
    7) Micro aggression as a violation of Social Justice at a new type of special points: the “regular” singularities.
    8) Inequalities as a legacy of injustice in Mathematics. Elimination of inequalities and transfer to mathematics with equalities only .
    9) Whiteness in Mathematics as an obstacle for people of colour – with the example of the problem of 4 colours.
    10) Is the straight line full of hate and therefore does not belong to eunuchoid geometry?
    11) A new due process for the era of Social Justice: Progressive movements are considered innocent until and after full destruction of the nation3.

    2. The original phrase ”Whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver” was misattributed to the Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goring. The sentence does date from Nazi Germany, but comes from Hanns Johst’s drama ”Schlageter,” produced at the State Playhouse in Berlin in 1933. Ironically, the topic (1) holds true also for contemporary Western culture filled with sodomy, scatology, and desecration of God (here and here), and also for so called multi-culturalism.
    3. The original phrase was “Any progressive party or movement is considered innocent until full destruction of the nation” (2005). It’s source so far could not be found.

  35. How Hollywood Can Help Overcome Negative Perceptions of Muslims

    “Inclusion and authentic representation of marginalized communities will create a power shift in public discourse,” writes the director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council’s Hollywood Bureau

    ============================================

    As director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council’s Hollywood Bureau, Sue Obeidi works with studio executives, producers, directors, and writers to create authentic, accurate and fair portrayals of Islam and of Muslims in film, television, and on digital platforms. Her goal, and that of the Hollywood Bureau, is to help the entertainment industry tell better stories about Islam and Muslims, a need that is now more pressing than ever. The Hollywood Bureau’s consulting credits include film and TV projects with Participant Media, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, Showtime, FX, Hulu, Super Deluxe Television, and Nat Geo.

    ============================================

    […]If Muslim characters were “normalized” on television, President Donald Trump’s travel ban on people from predominantly Muslim countries would not have reached the Supreme Court.

    Unfortunately, last week we saw a regression in our values and morals as a nation in the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the ban and reinforce it as the law of the land.

    […]If America’s view of Muslims is changed for the better, and we are seen as fully-fleshed human beings rather than a national security threat…

    […]Muslims have been here since this country’s founding, and we always will be.

    […]Muslims are woven into the fabric of American society.

  37. Not Welcome: Kurdish Commander Warns Turkish Forces Not to Enter Manbij (sputniknews, Jul 3, 2018)

    “Turkish troops are continuing their patrols of Manbij’s outskirts but have yet to enter the town despite an agreement between Ankara and Washington on the withdrawal of Kurdish units in the area.

    Helil Bozi, commander of the Manbij Military Council, which is part of the Kurdish-majority Syrian Democratic Forces, has told Sputnik Turkey that if Turkish forces enter the town, they will be fired upon…”

  38. There’s No Political Freedom Without Economic Freedom

    Can we have political liberty without first having economic freedom? Is the form of government predetermined by the form of economic organization? At first blush the opposite would seem to be self-evident, i.e., that our form of government determines all else, including our economic structure. But Mises advises otherwise. In Human Action (page 283 of the Mises Institute’s scholars’ edition), Mises explains (my emphasis):

    Freedom, as people enjoyed it in the democratic countries of Western civilization in the years of the old liberalism’s triumph, was not a product of constitutions, bills of rights, laws, and statutes. Those documents aimed only at safeguarding liberty and freedom, firmly established by the operation of the market economy, against encroachments on the part of officeholders.

  39. Antifa Furious That Democratic Socialists Left Them Hanging Once The Cops Showed Up

    The far left is feuding in Dallas, Texas, after the Democratic Socialists of America abandoned a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement after cops showed up on Saturday, according to Monday tweets from Antifa Dallas-Fort Worth.

    “@DSA_NorthTexas leadership decided to collab with the pigs and pulled their people from the demo leaving undocumented peeps and everyone else at risk of arrest,” Antifa DFW tweeted Monday.

    “After speaking with DSA leadership the pigs moved in moments after DSA leaving,” the Antifa Twitter thread continued. “Not all DSA peeps followed their leadership & stayed. Some were even arrested. When Jail Support reached out to collab they were were met with silence. They offered no support to their arrested members.”

    DSA North Texas did not mention the incident on either its Twitter or Facebook pages. (RELATED: Feds Warn Antifa To End ICE Occupation Or Be Arrested)
